The very next day, it seems that Otoya, the innocent cinnamon roll, had caught a cold. Along with Reiji. Without much to do, the idols stayed in their respective rooms, occasionally visiting the "R" and "O" from "R.O.T." However, Haruka and Ranmaru had a long day to take care of the duo.

In Haruka's room, she laid a wet piece of cloth on Otoya's head. He was breathing auite heavily. Honestly, it was unusual for the energetic boy to get sick. However, everyone gets sick in one way or another. He had actually shown the symptoms, but barely. Haruka was probably thinking that it was her fault. She was with him all this time, yet she never noticed. Haruka looked at Otoya's face with concern and guilt. She dipped the cloth in cold water and put it on Otoya's forehead again. Otoya slightly turned in his sleep. He mumbled words that Haruka could not comprehend. Haruka leaned over Otoya to check if he was okay. He was able to open his eyes, but barely, and looked at Haruka. He mumbled with a smile, "Mom....." Then he "blacked out". Haruka was surprised with Otoya's statement. Surely, his mother had died in a plane crash, but she didn't know if he actually missed her or not. Apparently, he had and seemed to be happy when he thought that she herself was the mom. Therefore, she decided to try to act like one, just for the sick boy's sake. She would make sure he would get the love that he had missed at his orphanage.

With Reiji, his sickness had a bit more impact on him than his kouhai's. He was slightly paler and coughed many times. Ranmaru, who wasn't in his usual "tsundere" or tough character was actually being worried about the older man. He put a wet cloth on the brunette's forehead and took his temperature. "38 Celsius." Ranmaru said with a sigh. He looked at the older and than went to the kitchen. He wasn't as good as a cook as Reiji, but he can cook. As the younger cooked, the older was sleeping with deep breaths. "Hopefully, he gets better quick," Ranmaru thought. Once he finished cooking, he set the bowl of chicken noodle soup on a table next to Reiji. He lightly shook the brunette. The brunette woke up. He groggily got up and began to eat, with the help of Ranmaru. Hopefully, the kouhai and senpai feel better soon.

The other idols were obviously worried, but they had nothing to do.

Masato and Ren were arguing about something, probably how indecent Ren is. Tokiya was reading some historical book. Therefore, his room was actually quiet. Cecil was sadly continuously treated coldy by Camus and Camus was drinking tea. Natsuki was playing with Syo in Mario Carts. Finally, Ai was playing a game on his computer.

Otoya was sleeping soundly. Haruka was sitting in a chair next to him, reading the latest magazine that featured STARISH and Quartet Night. She flipped through some pages until she spotted an interview of Otoya. She started reading it.
STARISH is the recent idol group that has been off the charts. These members have already been able to make many successful songs and mini singles. We have the hojor to have one of those shooting stars, the bright star, Ittoki Otoya-kun!!
Otoya: Thank you for having me! Ishikawa-san.
Ishikawa: No, the pleasure is mine. Anyway, we have a few questions for you, may we ask?
Otoya: Yes please go ahead!
Ishikawa: So Otoya, being the "I" in STARISH how is it being part of the group?
Otoya: It's really nice being with the rest of STARISH. They are all very friendly and have their own unique style of doing things. I wouldn't be here if I hadn't met them.
Ishikawa: That's very nice, I hope you continue to make music with the others.
Otoya: We will!
Ishikawa: Moving on, what are your thoughts on you senpais, Quartet Night?
Otoya: I respect my senpais greatly! They're so nice! They've really helped with my singing!
Ishikawa: I bet your senpais are proud of you. Speaking of proud people, are your relatives proud of your success?
Otoya:Well my adoptive mother is proud of me.
Ishikawa: Adoptive?
Otoya: Yes, I was adopted and never found out about my actual mother or father. However, if my real mother was alive, I think she would be proud as my current mom. People give me sympathy for my sad past, but its not sad at all. Its actually okay, I loved the orphanage I stayed at. Everyone was like my actual siblings and I already recieve a lot of support from my fellow members.
Ishikawa: I see, you surely shine very bright Ittoki-kun.
Otoya: Thank you Ishikawa-san.
Ishikawa: Question, is there anyone or anything who gives the joy to your day?
Otoya: Joy? Well, I have this place I really like. It's a field of sunflowers that are bright yellow. It reminds me of someone...
Ishikawa: Hmmm? Someone?
Otoya: Ehh? Ah?!? It's not like that!
Ishikawa: Your face is giving you away Ittoki-kun.
Otoya: Ehh?!?!
Ishikawa: Oh, I'm just teasing. Anyway, time is up, thank you Ittoki-kun for your time!
Otoya: Eh?! Umm, thank you for having me!
In the end, our bright, glistening star of STARISH, is someone who people can continue to see in the future of music.

After reading the interview, Haruka looks at the red-head and smiles. She strokes his head and feels his hair through her fingers. Otoya slightly woke up from this action. "Hmm? Good morning Haruka.." Otoya said while half asleep. Haruka chuckled at Otoya's current state. "Good morning Otoya, did you sleep well?" "Yeah, I did." Otoya smiled. "Well I'll get something for you to eat, is that okay? " Otoya nodded. Haruka got the warm soup and gave the lovable, red-head it. And the two stayed lovey dovey.

As for Reiji and Ranmaru, both fell alseep.

All's well ends well.
