[ The setlist doesnāt surprise Rinne at all. The line between his personal life and his career should have been as thick as the ink he used at the start of the year, but he canāt help how his brush glides across the paper. āTo wake up to the morning star,ā he wrote for his New Yearās resolution. Ai couldnāt even laugh at the kanji heād only learned how to write five years ago. His kakizome was televised, so of course he had to spin it into a cute song reference for his fans, but he and Ai both knew there was only one star in the morning he wanted to wake up to.
Rinne would leave secret messages and inside jokes for Ai like that. All year long, when they couldnāt share the same screen, let alone the same stage, he would make his intentions clear. Heās always held a middle finger up to the industryās rules and standards, but even for him, this was risky. But heās done the math. Months later, between this and captivating everyone with their onscreen friendship, his hard work finally pays off: the higher ups decide to bring B-Komachi and Crazy:B together for a concert.
It doesnāt go as well as Rinne expects. Mine-chan is so diligent in blocking any and all attempts to talk to Ai that it makes Rinne wish he was as cute as Kohaku to get a pass, so he spends the most of his time dodging her instead. HiMERU, the mature one of the group, refrains from helping him even when he knows ā no, especially because he knows Rinneās situation. But the greatest offender of all is his own best friend, Niki, who happily chats with Ai the entire time. āNahaha, it was super fun snacking with you, Nee-san! Letās all have yakiniku together sometime, okay? Bye bye!ā his ass. Niki knows how Rinne feels about Ai better than anyone.
Niki also knows that Rinneās a coward.
Rinne hasnāt realized it yet, but his best friend's blatant act of rebellion might have been the catalyst for what was about to happen next.
After his groupās own handshake session, Rinne gets a text from Ai. Naturally, heās quick to reply. ]
FINALLY SLAMS INTO THIS
