Day 6

"WHAT?!" Kin wince at Parisu's scream... again. He looks up at her and smiles sheepishly.

"I can't believe you went through all that just because you wanted first row seats to the new group, what if you manage to debut and become a dancing machine?! You can't! You can't! Think about Reina-san!" she exclaims. Reina, behind her, who is just drinking some water, did a spit take.

Kin blushes at her loud voice and asks," I think you're overestimating me, I'm chubby, don't like to exercise either, what makes you think I can debut?"

"And I think you're underestimating yourself, you didn't know anything about design, writing or acting but still manage to get here anyway!" she exclaims. Reina looks up from her work in silence but the two aren't really paying much attention to her. Parisu didn't seem to know how much she was saying when Reina was there but Kin was very much aware and tried to change the subject.

"I'm going to need to research about the history of idols and possibly find some critic videos so that I know what mistakes I should do," he replies.

"I'll help you, only because it's useful content, but you can't keep changing this, you know how they have great competition? Our work doesn't get any less competitive either, you can only focus on one battle, not two," she replies. Kin doesn't say anything to that so long as she was helping him research about it.

As they research about how he can improve on his singing, back in the company, Bokkai is trying to skirt over a few people but haven't seem to be able to. He was getting glares from the other trainees, but that's what he get for giving them a routine in advance. He doesn't seem too bothered however even as they threaten to leave the company.

Mr Kirima seems rather hellbent on keeping Bokkai in the company, he didn't listen to what they talked about but given the tapes he's seen, probably nothing too good. He sighs, walking into the studio only to stop when he sees someone inside.

Haon was just practicing on his own when he saw Bokkai walk in. He beams and turns around to greet him. Bokkai was glad that there is at least one friendly face around here, he had came here to do some work on his own but given there is a dancer here, he didn't mind practicing with him.

Three guys outside peeks into the dance studio, two squeezing their faces to see through the small window, the other at the corner of the door, trying to listen to what they are saying. But all he heard was numbers and music so he gave up and looks up at the other two.

Both of them also shake their head before leaving.

"What happened?" the boy who didn't see anything asks the other two.

"I didn't know humans could do that..." one mutters. The other stayed silent, rather tired-looking just by looking at him.

"I mean... it didn't seem too bad still he did pulled off the hook off," the other mutters. They bury their heads into the mud as they split up for the day, rather depressed. That depressing atmosphere continued even after Kin entered the company building.

"Everyone," Ms Yume or Haruka announce to the rest during dance practice." This is Nakamura Kin, he'll be practicing beside you today," she replies. Everyone looks at the person that just walked in, everyone had their jaws dropped, saved for Bokkai.

"It's you," he mutters. Kin blinks he did find his face familiar... he had to think back a while before remembering some vague memory of this guy... were they in a school?" I'm Junpei Haon, nice to finally meet you Nakamura-san," he smiles.

"L-likewise," he stammers. Now he remembers a bit of what happened that day. Blame his very short term memory to easily forget an embarrassing encounter.

"Well I'm Unicorn," the guy short enough to listen through door cracks replies, he has quite the messy hair and red eyes (not iris) like he just came out of bed or something.

Kin had to take a pause however at the name. A neigh could be heard from afar.

"I'm sorry?" he asks. The tallest of the boys smacks his head.

"Use your real name idiot," he scolds.

"Kaneda Yuu," he grumbles.

"I'm Tōjō Hajime," the quieter one replies.

"And I'm Tanaka Sou," the tallest one says.

Looking at them, they seem to even more intimidating than the people auditioning and they look his age if not younger! He sighs internally at his terrible fate, he must look stupid if he acts like an older brother right now. All he can do is silently focus on Mr Tanaka as he teaches the others their routine. It seems that they didn't get it either save for Haon who looks eager to practice.

He waits for Mr Tanaka to finish before heading to him.

"So, you've decided to come after all," he smiles. Kin smiles sheepishly but didn't say anything else, Bokkai nods, understanding.

"First, we'll start with the basics," he replies holding a hand out for him to hold.

-

Kin falls onto his back, laying down on the floor, sweating out a puddle. The others had already left, he's the only one in the studio, not even Mr Tanaka is here.

He sighs, almost falling asleep on the ground when a hand waves in front of him.

"You can go back now," Hajime replies. He didn't expect him to return for him, half expecting Mr Tanaka instead.

"Oh..." he simply says even as Hajime leaves the studio, he is still on the ground. He finally mustered the energy to stand and grabbing his bag, he leaves the studio. A towel around his neck he checks the multiple messages he received from his mother and Pairsu alike.

He sighs, looks like this day isn't over yet.

Ms Yume walks pass the studios as she was about to lock up for the day when she hears music waffling in the mixing studio. She sighs, placing a hand on her forehead, she'll have to ask the security guard to work overtime. Flipping a phone to call the night desk, she makes a note to tell Mr Kirima to tell her in advance before working overnight.

A vein almost popped when she sees the main office light open as well. She kicks the door open, not caring it's the CEO's office.
