CHAPTER 40

It was the day before Tokiya's comeback concert when their last conversation took place in their house.

They waited for Eiichi the whole day until it was almost at night. They just finished their dinner when Eiichi's 'I am back' spiritless voice echoed. Van frantically called everyone to gather in the living room, making a serious and determined face.

"Remember, don't accidentally laugh," Van whispered for the last time as they could hear the sound of Eiichi taking off his shoes.

"Look who is talking," Nagi sneered back.

"Niisan, you're back," Eiji exclaimed. His sweet voice appeared slightly louder to grab Eiichi's attention.

"Yeah... already had dinner?" even Eiichi just casually pointed out, they immediately shared the guilt since they knew Eiichi loved to eat together.

"We're sorry, niisan. We couldn't reach you for the whole day so we thought..."

"It's okay, Eiji. I just want to make sure that you ate dinner," Eiichi said with a smile.

No, don't make us sympathize with you. We're supposed to pull a prank, Van said in his head. Worrying that others would suddenly change their minds due to Eiichi's caring demeanor, he added, "Got... got time to talk?"

"Yeah, sure," no more questions were needed when it comes to these people. Despite his emotionally and physically exhaustion for going to a lot of places and meeting people these days, Eiichi quickly took a seat, followed by others. "What's it?"

"Ac... actually, it's not only me. The others also want to talk too," Van said, eyeing Kira who knew where he would suit himself in this kind of situation.

"For some reason, we got offers to transfer to another company for good. As for me, I got four so far," Kira said.

"Me too," others echoed, not really in unison.

"Oh... then?" Eiichi asked back weakly.

"We thought that those offers are too good to decline so we would like to grab the opportunity. We won't stay in Raging Entertainment forever. Plus, don't you think it's time for us to start a solo career?" Nagi said, almost unable to suppress the urge to slap himself for being eloquent at the time like this.

Unbeknown to them, Eiichi felt like someone just dropped a bomb right on his spot.

These guys... they do want to start a solo career...

"Does the president know this?" the sudden question from their leader startled them. They looked at each other as no one was ready for the possible answer.

"No, he doesn't. We thought we want to let you know first," Kira supplied, sending others to secretly heave a relieved sigh.

Eiichi nodded.

"That's good, then. You deserve to choose your own career path," Eiichi commented. It was too collected that it did not sound like him at all. "And for your information, I have something to tell you too."
