Back in Japan, Karasu had to resume their practice for the concert. Thankfully, Kaoru had started to feel less stressed about the concert after taking a break, so their practice went as smoothly as possible. They planned on performing their most popular album and a few fan requests during it, so they would be pretty exhausted after it, then again, they couldn't resist their fans. Their concerts were usually just fun and chaotic, free and unhinged most of the time. They even brought some lucky fans up on stage to jam with them, Kageyama and Hinata have kissed on stage before too, which led to them getting scolded by their managers, but also led to boosts in their sales and reputation.

Being the first openly gay band in Japan had some perks. Most of their fans were girls, but if you squint, you'll find some token gays out there in the crowd. Not including their friends from high school, that is. During their live shows, Kaoru and Haruto were seen wearing the LGBTQ flag around their shoulders like a cape, eventually dragging the other members to do the same. Their band effortlessly gave hope to many gay people out there to have some confidence in themselves, they became somewhat heroes to them. And as unavoidable as it is, there did receive a load of hate and backlash from others for being openly gay. It wasn't usual for men to be together after all, but the band kept on, pushing through their struggles, eventually becoming one of the top music bands in Japan.

Still, nothing beat the excitement and controversy they caused and Tsukiyama and Kagehina came out as boyfriends to their fans. All the shippers went loose, over exhilarated at the fact their ships had sailed. Kaoru and Haruto were still stuck being single though, much to the dismay of their fans since the two of them have revealed to have feelings for someone, but haven't disclosed who they were.

"Ugh, what a practice. I'm exhausted...and Yachi expects us to practice like this everyday?' Kaoru complained.

"Sadly, yes...I'm so tired of repeating the same songs for like...two weeks now?' Yamaguchi agreed.

"Yeah, two weeks. Which means that our concert is in about 3 weeks until the concert and mister loverboy's confession over there." Haruto answered, rolling his eyes at the last part.

"I swear to god, when are you going to stop rolling your eyes at every mention of me?"

"When Suna becomes my boyfriend."

"Anyways, who's hungry? I could seriously go for some seafood or meat right now." Hinata interjected before the two could continue fighting.

"For once, I agree with you, Shrimpy." Tsukishima replied.

"I wasn't asking you, Stingyshima!!"

In the end, all six of them agreed to eat at a seafood place before heading back home to rest after the tiring day they had at practice and to sleep early since they had more practice the next day, and the next, and the next, and the next. They would definitely be exhausted for the next few days, but they thankfully, had a one week break before the concert as to not overexert themselves from too much practice.

The days passed by quicker than they had expected. Their weeks of practice came to an end and it was finally their week off. During this period, they weren't allowed to go anywhere and were strictly ordered by Yachi to rest for the next few days until their concert. Not that they were complaining, they were too tired from practicing to even think about going anywhere. Heck, the first day of their break, all of them overslept and were far too lazy to do anything productive other than eat and sleep. Although, the second day was much more calming and productive.

Tsukiyama did some painting, suggested by Yamaguchi, while Kagehina played some games to relax themselves. Kaoru was crocheting and Haruto was reading a book. They were all left to their own devices, doing what they wanted to relieve some stress and pressure over them for their concert.
