Summary: Johnny decide to let HSJ members leave together in a new house and they were happy with it. Out of nowhere, six girls came and claimed that was their house. It became worse when their father, Mr. Takahashi said, they had to live together. Could they stand living together and handle all the fusses?




That night, the party was held in the mansion. The boys didn’t expect anything as they just held a party for Yuya the night before. Still, the situation in the party was still cheerful and exciting.

“When will you leave?” Sakura asked Arioka who was sitting at the opposite sofa, while Yuri and Ryutaro were sleeping at the sofa next to her, leaning their head to each another.

“Leave?” Arioka asked back, confused.

“Your spring tour,” Sakura explained shortly.

“Tomorrow morning. How do you know?” Arioka asked, wondered.

“I’m your fan, of course I know plus I found the tickets in Ryutaro’s room,” Sakura said cheerfully.

Arioka chuckled. This girl bluntly said that she was their fan. Somehow, it was a bit humouring for him.

“Hrmm, please take this,” Sakura suddenly placed a light purple box with a pink ribbon on the coffee table in front her.

Arioka looked at her, puzzled.

“Your birthday is coming soon, right? Plus you are still touring at that time so I give an advanced gift,” Sakura said, smiling.

“Thank you,” Arioka said and took the box.

“Don’t be because it is actually chocolate from Valentine Day,” Sakura confessed.

Arioka chuckled again. This girl was too honest and it was adorable.

“Are you sure it still can be eaten?” Arioka stopped laughing and asked teasingly.

“Of course, Valentine just a month ago,” Sakura answered seriously. Arioka continued laughing when he heard the answer.

“When I saw that chocolate, I thought it was so cute and I bought it without a second thought and lastly I didn’t have anyone to give to,” Sakura said, confessing.

Arioka stopped laughing. Sakura seemed lonely. He thought

“Will you come to our concert? I can give a nice seat if you want,” Arioka said, trying to cheer her up.

Sakura shook her head.

“It’s okay, plus I have something to do this spring break,” Sakura said, smiling cheerfully.

Yuya glanced once a while and noticed the closeness between Sakura and Arioka. He looked anxious.

At the same time, Aoki who was returned right before the boys, stood at the window, looking up towards the sky.

“Is there any star tonight?” A voice came from her back. Aoki quickly turned and saw Kei who was approaching her. She was not surprised.

“No, the cloud covers it,” Aoki answered bluntly, looking back to the sky.

Kei didn’t continue asking and stood in front her, looking upwards too.

“I’m sorry,” Kei said, not turning from the sky.

“It’s okay,” Aoki replied, also still looking upwards.

Then, the moment of silent started and ended when Aoki start voicing again.

“Thanks,” She said, turning away from the sky and looked at Kei.

“For what?” Kei asked, looked at Aoki with a confused look.

“For your words. It awakes me from my fear,” Aoki answered, smiling.

“But it hurts you,” Kei said, turning away, felt guilty.

“Yeah, it hurts but it makes me realize than nothing will happen if I keep my mouth shut. That is the first time I hear someone complain that I quitting school. Before this, everyone is supporting the decision and I am frozen and scare to protest,” Aoki explained thoroughly.

“What do you mean? Aren’t you the one who decide to quit?” Kei asked, confused.

Aoki shook her head.

“From the outside, people will think it is my decision but actually it is my mother,” Aoki explained. She didn’t know why she could say it to him because even her siblings didn’t know about it. However, she felt relieved that someone knew.

“I thought you don’t have any mother,” Kei suddenly spoke out and it frozen him. He never thought that he would say that out loud.

“The truth is I’m just their cousin. When I was small, my parents had a car accident. My father died and my mother was badly injured. She was coma. So, her brother, my current father took me,” Aoki explained, not surprised with Kei’s sudden phrase.

“I’m sorry I said terrible things last night and just now...” Kei felt guiltier, nodding down.

“I’ve told you, it’s okay,” Aoki said kindly.

While they were talking, Hotaru with two glasses in her hands.approached Hikaru who was busy watching the scene between Kei and Aoki.

“Oi!” She greeted him.

“What do you want, ‘witch’?” Hikaru said wickedly, stressing the word ‘witch’ after he noticed Hotaru.

“I just want to celebrate our separation starting from tomorrow,” Hotaru said cheerfully, handing him a glass of juice.

Hikaru didn’t reply her. He suddenly felt uneasy after hearing the word ‘separation’.

She hit Hikaru’s glass gently and drank all the liquid in the glass while Hikaru was still holding the glass.

“Ahh, I can’t wait for tomorrow,” Hotaru said happily and walked away.

Hikaru just watched Hotaru stepped away. He didn’t feel happy at all and he hated when Hotaru felt happy with it. Probably because he wouldn’t have anyone to order around doing stupid things. Yeah, it’s normal to feel irritate.

Meanwhile, Rin took a stroll at the garden which was link to the side entrance of the hall. Slowly she sat on the bench in front the sparkling fountain.

“Are you okay?” A voice asked from her back.

Rin turned around and saw Ryosuke who was looking at her in culpable.

“I’m fine,” Rin replied and her eyes followed Ryosuke’s steps gradually until he sat beside her.

“I’m glad you are well,” Ryosuke said in a low and sad tone.

“Are you... worried?” Rin asked, not looking at him.

Ryosuke didn’t answer. The situation turned to silent, accompanied only by the night’s sounds.

“How was your performance?” Rin started breaking the coldness between them.

“It turned out to be better than our rehearsal,” Ryosuke answered, smiling. He didn’t want the awkwardness between them to continue.

“You must work so hard for it,” Rin replied the smile.

Ryosuke nodded his head and looked upwards.

“You study oversea, right?” Ryosuke suddenly asked.

Rin nodded her head and looked at Ryosuke, blurred.

“It must be exciting to meet new people and culture,” Ryosuke said cheerfully.

“En,” Rin nodded her head again.

“Thanks,” Rin said unexpectedly, smiling.

Ryosuke looked at her puzzled.

“For worrying about me,” Rin continued, explaining.

“Me too,” Ryosuke replied with a smile.

Yuto who was just walking towards the garden stopped his steps as he saw they were looking towards the sky in chorus.

As they were chatting in the garden, Keito was looking intensely at the glass that was half-filled with an orange liquid, sitting at the dinner table in the kitchen.

“You seem lonely,” Jart said jokingly and sat beside him.

Keito looked at the girl who was sitting next to him in puzzled.

“Don’t look at me like that? You make me feel awkward,” Jart said teasingly, waving her both hands.

“I’m sorry,” Keito said humbly and took a slurp of the drink in his hand.

Jart looked at Keito sadly and smiled bitterly.

“Do you know that I study in England?” Jart tried to start a merry conversation.

“I do,” Keito answered with a smile, a fake smile.

Jart sighed. He looked as he wanted to be alone.

“If you don’t want to do it then don’t do it,” Jart said bluntly before started her steps away from him.

Keito was a bit surprised. Did she relate to it or it just a coincidence?

After 12 o’clock, the boys started to leave the party and went to their room while the girls left to cleaning as usual. Kairi unsurprisingly was washing the dishes while Kota sat at the head of the dinner table, close to Kairi.

“Don’t you scare?” Kota who was usually there asked teasingly.

“Of what?” Kairi asked back, confused with Kota question, not looking at him.

“Of drying the skin of your hands,” Kota bluntly said.

“Not really,” Kairi answered frankly.

“Of course you are not because you have someone who will care for you no matter what,” Kota replied directly. He seemed irritated.

“Are you trying to say that I have my sisters?” Kairi turned to Kota and asked back, confused.

“Don’t act like you don’t know,” Kota replied seriously with a glare.

Kairi felt uncomfortable with the glare and quickly turned away from him, continued washing the dishes.

“You meet him today, don’t you?” Kota asked with a calmer voice and look after he saw Kairi’s reaction. He started to notice that he didn’t have any reason to feel annoyed.

“Who?” Kairi asked again in confused. She started to think and Kota acted strangely.

“The person you like,” Kota looked away. He suddenly felt that he didn’t want to her the answer, scared.

Kairi chuckled in sudden and it surprised Kota. He quickly looked towards Kairi.

“What’s so funny?” Kota asked seriously, uneasy with the sudden small laugh.

“I never heard of people seriously ask about that kind of matter,” Kairi answered and continued laughing.

Kota sighed. Maybe he did overdo his actions just now.

“But, it maybe not possible to meet him again,” Kairi suddenly stopped laughing and said in a soft and sad tone.

“What do you mean?” Kota asked, curious.

“I know there is no space for me,” Kairi said in a low voice and stopped her hand movement for a while, leaving the water ran.
