"cough ... sob ... cough ... cough ... cough ... cough" the coughing sound of the red-haired man holding his chest while walking barefooted. The red-haired man walked around the zero arena park. His gaze looked at the road, looked down but his mind was off with the tears that had dried. colder night winds made matters worse. he continued walking with occasional coughing out of his mouth. The lack of oxygen made his head spin a little. he started walking unsteadily.

"Are you okay?" asked the man with maroon hair who suddenly approached the crimson red hair while touching his shoulder.

"I. cough ... good. cough ... good. cough ... cough" replied the redhead who started coughing

"that's not okay!" he shouted, holding the red hair leading him to sit on a bench near them to rest

"What happened?" asked the maroon hair, stroking the redhead's back, which was only answered by a cough.

"You are Nanase Riku, right?" asked the marron hair man again when he saw the boy's opponent calm down

"how ... cough" asked Riku

"You are idolish7 right. What are you doing here in such a state. Without wearing a jacket and bare feet here is quite cold. Don't get me wrong. I really hate idols but I still have sympathy seeing someone with a condition like you now" he said with a sigh at the end .

"you are?" asked Riku who started to calm down

"Touma" replied the maroon haired man

"nee .. touma-san. is that wrong if someone wants to pursue their dreams. is that wrong if someone prefers a bright place. With others. Thinki about the future. Singing together even though it's just a wish .." said Riku, starting to shake unconsciously dripping tears that rolled down his cheeks and bit her lower lip

"sob ... but why. sob ... he told me to stop. sob ... he told me just to wacth him sing dancing told me to sit at home. but told me to stop and get out of idolish7 ... sob ... am I don't deserve to do it. Sob ... I want to sing too, I want to dance with the others too ... sob ... because of my illness. I'm not allowed to do it .. sob .. "Riku said while covering his face with his palms. Touma, who had been listening carefully, changed his expression to be gentle and started rubbing the back of the man in front of him who started to sobbing.

"Well, Riku everyone has a dream. What's wrong with chasing dreams. Of course it is okay." Said Touma while putting his jacket on Riku's body which looks shivering. maybe because of the cold night wind.
"who said you not allowed. Tell me" continued touma with a bit joking at the end to cheer up Riku who was still sobbing.

"my twin." while wiping away the tears

"Does he not know that your group is quite famous. Especially the group you started from the beginning. You've tried your best. Don't listen to what he said." said touma gently

"Hmm. Touma-san knows enough. Even though you said you doesn't like idols." said Riku who was a little bit joking while puffing his cheeks.

"D-don't get me wrong. I-I just. d-don't like seeing people crying. e-especially in front of me," said Touma stuttered as he rolled his eyes with his red face.

"Ahaha. Touma-san, your face is very red," Riku teased

"..." Touma looked away in embarrassment
