Compromise

Chapter 25

Ryosuke's POV

Night. My co-members are still here, except for Yabu~kun. I wonder what happened to their conversation... But whatever that is, I'm glad that he helped. It was a really big help!

The room was silenced when the door opened. We all looked who it is. It's Yabu~kun!

He walked inside. I examined his face... He's wearing a poker face... What happened?

"How was it?" Hikaru~kun broke the silence.

He glanced at us, one by one. "How long has Ai~chan been asleep?" he asked.

"About an hour or so," I answered. I felt nervous... Why did he ask that first? Do the conversation didn't went well?

"Let's talk about it outside," he said seriously.

I don't want his aura... I'm nervous...

He led the way outside as we follow. We gathered around him.

"He wants Yamachan to be careful whenever he'll see Ai~chan. He wants their relationship to be private. With that he also granted the other JE talent to have relationships, given that they have to hide it from the public," he said then looked at us.

I was open mouthed. I didn't understand what he said.

"Matte, matte! What are you talking about?" Hikaru~kun asked, his brows furrowed.

"Is that actually a good news or a bad news? And what it has to do with HSJ?" Inoo~kun asked continuously.

Looks like they also didn't understand.

"A good news. Obviously, he can't afford to lose the whole group. It will be a big blow to the agency if he decides to fire us," he said.

"Then?" Chinen asked.

"The 10 JUMP will stay in the agency." he said. Still monotone.

"Are you actually happy with the news or what?" Hikaru~kun asked, an eyebrow raised.

"I'm happy, of course!" he exclaimed but his expression didn't change.

"Then will you quit wearing that poker-face! It pisses me off!" Hikaru~kun said.

Yabu~kun suddenly smiled. His eyes are nowhere to be seen again.

"Yabu~chan baka!" Inoo~kun exclaimed.

Yabu~kun laughed. "That's done now!" he smiled widely, his eyes are totally gone. "Cheer up, Yamachan!" he messed my hair.

"Hai! Arigatou, Yabu~kun!" I said, full of joy.

"He'scrying again. Tsk!" it's Daichan.

"I'm just really happy!" I exclaimed.

"I'll just say this again," Yabu~kun said. "Be careful now. Don't date in public. I'm sure, Ai~chan will understand that," he said.

"Hai! Gambarimasu!" I exclaimed.

"This might be cheesy but... can we have a group hug?" Keito suggested shyly.

"Why not!" Ryuu agreed.

All of us started advancing towards each other. Obviously, we are shy at first but then we hugged each other. I'm really thankful that I belong in this group! Oh, have I said that many times? Haha I'll repeat that again, I'm really thankful and happy to be in this group!
