The rehearsal room was filled with chatter, laughter, and the occasional playful shove. Y/n sat in the middle, a bright smile on her face, as Minato draped an arm around her shoulder.
"Okay, Y/n," Ibuki teased, nudging her gently. "It's your turn to pick the game."
Y/n laughed, her voice clear and confident. "Hmm... let's do charades! But I warn you—I'm good."
"Good? You're hilarious," Shūhei laughed. "We're doomed."
The first round began, and Y/n jumped into it enthusiastically. She acted out phrases with over-the-top gestures, making Minato, Yuzu, Ibuki, Shūhei, and Nayuta burst into laughter. Be:First and Treasure joined in, shouting guesses and teasing her when she exaggerated too much.
"Y/n, stop pretending the cat is a dragon!" Manato from Be:First laughed, clutching his stomach.
"I am not!" Y/n giggled, spinning around dramatically. "It's a legendary creature!"
Even Asuka couldn't help but laugh from the corner, shaking her head at Y/n's energy. "You've changed so much... in the best way."
"See? This is why we've been pushing you," Sota from Be:First said with a grin. "Not just singing—life too! You've got to have fun!"
Treasure chimed in, Haruto pretending to faint from laughter. "I can't... her acting is too much!"
By the end of the game, everyone was in stitches. Y/n's face was flushed from laughing, but she felt lighter than ever. She realized she could fully enjoy moments like this—moments filled with friends, fun, and trust.
Minato pulled her close as the group settled down. "Look at you," he whispered. "Happy, confident... and totally unstoppable."
Y/n leaned into him, glancing at all her friends. Treasure, Chayney, and Be:First were joking and teasing each other, sharing smiles, and encouraging her. "I... I really missed this," she admitted softly.
"You didn't have to miss it anymore," Yuzu said, giving her a playful shove. "You're here now, part of the chaos!"
Y/n laughed, feeling the warmth of belonging. She knew life wouldn't always be perfect—but with these people by her side, she could face anything.
For the first time, Y/n felt completely at home.
