It was a normal day for the group, they are currently having a shooting for their variety show and the 1st gens and 2nd gens are in their own dressing rooms as they all wait for the staff to call them in to start the shooting.
Inside the 2nd gens room is very lively, some are chatting while some are fooling around with each other. Some of those who were chatting were Matsuda, Rena, Endo, and Seki...
"So... who did you guys write as someone you want as a girlfriend~?" Matsuda asked suddenly with a smirk, thinking she could tease them for it
"Eeh, I don't remember~" Endo said but added " but I'm sure I didn't write Akiho-chan or Kira-chan" giggling as she said it
"Hey!" They heard someone say loudly from behind, when they turned around they saw the two swimming? Crawling?? Towards them. Masumoto and Onuma joined
"We're pretty sure it's really not them" Matsuda thought before she ignored them and turned to Seki.
Masumoto and Onuma joined in their conversation, along with a few others who were curious
"How about you Yumi-chan? Let me guess, Inori~" Matsuda tried getting a reaction from Seki but to no avail, Seki giggled, with her hand covering her mouth, before she answered
"No, I wrote someone else.... But I might have wrote her as someone I don't want as a one" Seki caught on what Matsuda was thinking, making Matsuda laugh from what she heard while the others giggled
From not-so-a far, was Inoue playing with her switch with Takemoto, heard what they were talking about making her drop her controller while Takemoto celebrated and mocked Inoue for losing
Inoue seemed to be out of it, Takemoto wondered as to why she looked.. lifeless and in a daze. She tried shaking her, calling her name, even slapping her once but nothing changed.
Takemoto decided to shrug it off to continue playing before she heard her name being mentioned making her pause to continue eavesdrop- listening to them
Back to the four- well no longer four since some of the member joined
After her laugh subsided, Matsuda calmed herself down for a moment before asking Rena who she picked
"So Rena, who did you pick? Rei? Akipo?" Matsuda said, but oddly with a calming tone like she was planning something
Or saw something at the corner of her eye
"Or maybe Chukemon?" Matsuda hit a bullseye cause the moment she said it, she saw Takemoto stop and leaned a bit towards to them
Rena smile first and intentionally stayed silent for a moment to give a bit of suspense before saying "I'm not telling"
"EH" Everyone who was waiting, including Takemoto exclaimed and just right then, a staff came in to inform them they are about to start recording
A lot of them sighed, especially Matsuda since they all wanted to talk more. Inoue was dragged out of their room in the end since she remained in a daze until they were in the elevator, where she stood close to Seki, courtesy to Takemoto and Matsuda who gave her a thumbs up
*time skip to the end of the first half of their shooting, brought to you by Renaa's Kotsu*
Takemoto is still silent from earlier. She looked like her soul had left her to her embarrassment, as she looked in a daze and lifeless.
She was stuck in her thoughts, especially with what she wrote on her survey and a lot of what if scenarios playing through her mind
Some of the 2ki noticed this and agreed to have Rena talk to her. But before they asked her, they saw Rena already talking to her.
They could see a hue of pink on Takemoto's ears, making some of them chuckle at what she looked like.
Minutes later, they were still secretly watching when their chuckles then became silent laughs when they saw Takemoto freeze and then turn into a tomato once Rena left to do something
Some of the 2ki who came together and watched the two, were now relieved and didn't have to worry about Takemoto now as she looked like she in cloud 9 while being in her own world
A few minutes before
While Takemoto was lost in her thoughts, unbeknownst to her someone quite influential to her mood later was now approaching and calling out to her.
"....-an"
"Yui-..."
"...i-chan"
"Yui-chan" She finally went back to reality only to realize Rena was calling out to her while patting her shoulder to get her attention
"O-oh hi Renaa" Takemoto's ears quickly flushed "Um what is it?"
"I was curious why you were a bit quiet today? Is something in your mind?" Rena asked, curious why Takemoto wasn't with Inoue, usually they would be a bit loud in their dressing room.
"Oh no! Nothing important hehe" Takemoto dismissed, not wanting to admit her thoughts were related to the girl in front of her. She frantically waved her hands in front of her before continuing " Yep nothing major, just overthinking about something hehe" she awkwardly smiled
"Is that so? Are you sure? You can talk to me about it if you want" Rena kindly offered to Takemoto, not noticing how much affected Takemoto was when she gave her a smile
"Yeah...Oh um, I'm sure! But if I do need someone to talk to, I'll call you" Takemoto got mesmerized by the smile for a moment but quickly shook her head before Rena noticed she was staring, not realizing something was off in her sentence
"Okay! I'll see you later then! Also thanks for choosing me earlier! If you aren't too busy, let's hang out sometime!" Rena said, giving a very bright smile (too bright for Takemoto) before going over to the other side of the room to get ready for the second half of their shooting
Takemoto froze and slowly turned red as she processed what just happened. Rena smiling at her.....Rena offering to hang out....
Rena offering to hang out?!
I think I'm about to faint
Once Takemoto fully processed what happened, she had turned to a fully ripe tomato and her mind was going haywire.
She quickly ran to a random place, which happened to be the bathroom, and quietly squealed until she went out of the stall panting, only to realize she was surrounded by her genmates grinning and curious about what happened to her to look like she just ran full speed.
"so...why did you run towards here?"
"why were you in such a hurry?"
"its not like the next shooting would happen sooner"
"We still have about an hour before it starts"
"Ne, what happened earlier?"
"Oh yeah, now that you mentioned it, Yui-chan did look a bit red"
At that moment, she realized, she's doomed.
(Well not-so doomed, considering she gets to hang out with Rena later on)
