===[The Next Day]===

Kyoko's POV

I heard that the KP/E was having a meet and greet last night. As I was laying down on my bed at the hotel room and things have been on my mind.

All day yesterday and right now, I've been thinking about that Kenji since. When I do think about I do having a smile on my face and my heart would start to beat very fast too. I tried to put figure what could still be...

His eyes... His smile... His confident... His hope...

Kyoko: "Do I love him?"

I questioned myself then suddenly I started to daydream about him and I being a lovely couple... since we going to collab with him I can't imagine myself cuddle with him, watching the sunset while holding hands, getting married and having a well family.

I took out my notebook and drew a small heart with his name and my name on it in the middle.

Yuka: "Kyoko, do you wanna go downstairs to eat our food?" I snap out of my thoughts and smile at my face with a nod.

As we went to the lobby and to my surprise there was Kenji on his laptop and wearing his headphone probably listening to music. We walked up to him as he nodded us and took off his headphone and smile.

Kyoko: ("Just from seeing him... makes me smile for some reason.")

Esora: "Hey Kenji, I'm surprise to see you, what are you up to?"

Kenji: "Oh hey girls, I'm just listening to music while doing my homework from school." I decided to sit between Kenji and Yuka.

Kyoko: "So Kenji, you should tell us about yourself. What's your hobbies?"

Kenji: "My hobby is: Traveling, listening to music, making music, playing soccer." We all begin to eat our dish and then I noticed Shinobu looking at the green bell pepper and I decided to tease.

Kyoko: "Shinobu, you should have one of this." I said with a smile as I tried to make Shinobu eat the green bell pepper.

Shinobu: "No way, never ever! I'm never gonna eat that!!"

Kyoko: "Yeah, yeah. I've heard it all before. Just try them, they're good for you."

Shinobu: "Why? It's not like I'll die if I never touch one! I just don't like it!"

Kyoko: "Maybe. But it's not just one. You never eat any veggies. Making tracks, playing games, day in and day out. You wreck your sleep schedule staying up late. Plus, Shinobu, you only eat snacks, energy drinks, sandwiches... I'm worried about you, and your skin."

Shinobu: "W-Why are you worried about my skin?"

Kyoko: "Moreover, if you kicked the bucket first, we'd be in a pickle."

Shinobu: "Er, well..."

Kyoko: "Come on, just eat one! I'm not leaving until you do!"

Shinobu: "Ooh... Fine! I'll eat those stupid veggies just this once, just move!"

Kyoko: "Really? Good." Shinobu ate the green bell pepper as I looked at Kenji.

Kyoko: "Here! Try out my food!" This shock Kenji as I grab a shrimp with my chopstick to face it in front of him. "Open wide!"

Kenji hesitated but decided to try the shrimp as I saw him swallowing the shrimp and looked at me with a smile as my heart start beating fast.

Kenji: "I gonna say Kyoko, the shrimp was done very perfectly. I like it."

Kyoko: "I really enjoy feeding you it's like we're a lovely couple." That made Kenji blush and looked away.

Yuka: "Kyoko! Don't say such things that isn't true!"

Kyoko: "Of course that isn't true... well not yet."

Kenji: "Well it's seem that I'll have to leave, see you girls next week." We nodded our head and Esora got from her seat.

Esora: "Kenji, let's share contact information so we could get in touch with each other." He nodded his head and pull out his phone as the three of us gotten his contact information as he waved us goodbye, I stare at him until he was out of my sight.

3rd POV

Kenji was walking to his hotel room when suddenly his wrist was grabbed by someone and saw it was Noa.

Kenji: "Ummm.... is something wrong?" He said as he tilt his head in confuse.

Noa: "SO CUTE!" Noa start pinching his cheeks and he heard another voice.

Ibuki: "N-Noa! Let go of his cheek! Your hurting his face!" Noa looked back at Ibuki.

Noa: "But Ibuki! He look such a cutie!" Noa said as Ibuki realize it was Kenji as she smile.

Ibuki: "Oh! Kenji, I didn't know that was you! I'm very sorry about her!"

Kenji: "Same Ibuki but... Can you help? I have something to do!" Ibuki help get Noa off of Kenji as Noa was trying to get to him.

Kenji: "T-Thanks Ibuki but I can't talk right now I'll have to get going, see you next week!" I quickly walked away heading to my hotel room.
