1: Long Awaited Kiss

One day after a Live Concert, everyone was getting ready to go home. Everyone was still hyped and proud at themselves for putting a good performance. Everything seemed normal up until the moment where they were all headed to their dressing room and they heard a loud thud. They look behind them and everyone instantly stops laughing and smiling. In front of them is their ace, Hirate Yurina, who has fainted and is now lying on the cold ground. Everyone is stunned and paralyzed, not knowing what to do. Everyone is shookt unable to move a muscle, until Shida rushes to Hirate. Shida carrying Hirate in her arms and running around to find the nearest adult who can help Hirate.  The other members scatter and tries to find help as well. Shida frantically running around trying to find help, she runs into Hirate's manager. They call the paramedics and they rush Hirate to the hospital.

*Shida pacing back and forth in the hospital lobby room*

Manager-san: "Shida-san, please calm down. Hirate collapsed due to exhaustion, she also has a high fever but she's gonna be fine after she gets some rest. She'll be discharged tomorrow. Thank you for helping Shida-san."

*Shida calms down*

Shida: "That's good to hear. Is it alright for me to go in her room?"

Manager-san: "Yes, although she is sleeping right now"

Shida: "That's fine, I'll stay until she wakes up"

Manager-san: "Okay. But don't stay too late, you still have work tomorrow."

Shida: "Thank you very much"

Shida goes into Hirate's room. When she enters the room, she sees Hirate's sleeping face. She grabs a chair and sits next to where Hirate is sleeping. "She looks so weak and defenseless, unlike usual." Shida thought to herself. Shida brushes the hair in front of Hirate's face behind her ears. Shida looking over at Hirate, realized that she's paler than usual. "Why didn't I realize this earlier" Shida thought to herself. Shida holds Hirate's hand, hoping she would wake up in any second.

While waiting, Shida suddenly remembered that she hasn't texted the other members about their whereabouts and Hirate's condition. Shida texts the members using her free hand. Using one hand is making it take longer than it should have, but Shida didn't want to let go of Hirate's hand. After sending the text a flood of replies came rushing in. While Shida was reading the replies Hirate suddenly tighten's her grip and when Shida glanced over to look at Hirate's face, she sees that she is sweating a lot.

Hirate's temperature went up. Shida tries to stay calm so she can think straight. Shida shouts for a doctor while she grabs her handkerchief and wipes down the sweat in Hirate's face. After it seemed like Hirate's temperature went down, Shida decided to leave for a bit to buy some food and water so that Hirate could eat something when she wakes up.

Just when Shida stood up, Hirate slowly opens her eyes.

"...Manaka.. Don't go..." says Hirate with her hoarse voice... since she just woke up.

"Yurina! How are you feeling?"

"...I'm fine... Stay here..."

"I'm just gonna go buy you food, I'll be right back"

But before Shida could leave. Hirate pulls Shida's arm 'causing Shida to fall on top of Hirate. Their faces are just inches away. Shida looks at Hirate, tempted to kiss Hirate's soft-peached colored lips.

Hirate: "Stay"

Shida: "...U-un.."

Shida continues to hold back but she's reaching her limit
