Song of Hope [IDOLiSH7 Fanfic] || ✔

🎵Chapter 17🎵

I’m a lil bit surprise when I heard your headquarter’ name. Gaku live with someone named ‘Takanashi’ too. If I’m not wrong, her name is Takanashi Tsumugi. I don’t know the details why Gaku ended up live with her since he will dodge that topic. I bet she is related to your headquarter so I decided to tell you.

That’s all I think. Once again, aishiteru yo, Riku. I’ll watch over you from the heaven or maybe hell. I haven’t known yet.

From your beloved brother, Nanase Tenn

Iori and Riku were running past several buildings. “Nee, Nanase-san. Are you sure about this?” asked Iori while still running behind Riku.

Riku sighed, “You have asked that countless time, Iori. I bet you have known the answer.”

“But...”

Riku stopped his steps and turned his body to Iori. “If you don’t want to help me then go back.”

Iori widened his eyes, “Is not like that! It’s just... Why did you have to do it tonight?! I’m worrying your asthma you know! And I don’t think this plan will succeed.”

Riku face palmed, “You are not my mom, Iori. You don’t have to worry me.”

“WHO SAID THAT I’M YOUR MOM, YOU FREAK RED HEAD!” shouted Iori.

Riku giggled, “You’re easily heated, huh, Iori?”

“Stop making fun of me! I’m being serious right now. Answer my question!”

“Hai, hai,” Riku looked up to the sky, “I can’t sleep these days. I keep thinking over things that already happened such as Tenn-nii’ death... And what should I do for President to make up for my mistakes. Also...” he turned his eyes to Iori, “What should I do for you guys.”

“i feel like I’m the worst human being right now because all of those bad things that has already happened. Yamato-san said that we can’t change past so...,” Riku smiled, “I think I will never be able to sleep well if I don't immediately do something for you as my redemption."

Iori stayed quiet for a while. Then he smiled, “Seems we’re same, Nanase-san.”

“I feel the same thing as you. I’m the worst human being until now. Back then, when I were still at child disposal, the one who doing many things to fullfil my needs, defending me and protecting me is Nii-san. I weren’t do much back then. ‘Why are you still protecting me? I’m useless you know.’ I keep saying those words in my heart. So, as a return, I want to do something too for Nii-san. And now... I want to do something not for him only, I want to do something for all IDOLiSH7 members, President, Oogami-san and other people that have helped me with a lot of things. I want to help them find true happiness. So, I decided to study as hard as I can since I’m not too mastered at fighting...”

“That’s why you are the smartest among us, Iori.”

Iori widened his eyes and smiled again, “I think I haven’t matched Osaka-san yet.”

Riku laughed a little, “You’re right. Sogo-san is the most experienced among us. So, you don’t have to doubt his skills.”

“You know what, talking about Osaka-san, it reminds me why Nikaido-san matched him with Yotsuba-san anyway?”

“Yeah. It made me confuse for a while but they seems okay with that so I don’t overthinking it.”

“I hope the two of them get along soon.”
