"Wahhh~!" Otoya's eyes sparkled when he stepped foot on the warm sand.

"We're here! We're here! The beach~!"

The redhead jumped in excitement as he started running towards the ocean while the others chuckled at him. Otoya squealed a bit when his feet touched the water as he started kicking the water a bit, making small splashes like a little kid. He looked at his friends and seniors as he waved at them. "Hey guys! The water is great!!"

"Yahoo!" Reiji cheered as he ran towards the redhead in attempting to join his junior in the water as well. Otoya and Reiji started splashing at each other while laughing. Ranmaru rolled his eyes at the brunet's childish antics as he made his way to the cabin while Camus and Ai followed after him, leaving Reiji playing with Otoya.

Misora watched Reiji and Otoya play as she laughed at them. "They look like siblings."

"Well, Ittoki-kun does look up to Reiji-kun as an older brother." Tsubasa commented as he lifted his bag up. Nanami agreed with him as she watched them while smiling. "Let's go to our cabin. I wanna take a rest after that long trip..."

Misora laughed at him nervously while Nanami tilted her head in confusion. She turned to Nanami and smiled a bit. "He didn't get to sleep because of the noise the guys were making during the trip a while ago." The other nodded at this as she started walking to the cabin as well. Misora and Tsubasa started walking to their cabin as Syo watched them go off. He took a deep breath and turned to the ocean.

"Hey! I'm joining in too!!" He called out as he started running towards Otoya and Reiji but someone grabbed him behind the collar and pulled him back. "WHAT THE--"

"Not so fast, Ochibi-chan~" Syo twitched at the nickname as he turned around and gave him a cold glare. Ren raised his hands up in defense.

"Come on. We still have phase 2 to start with." Ren said as he winked at him.

"Right NOW?" Ren nodded at him as Masato and Tokiya looked at each other as they sighed at the same time. Soon enough, Reiji went back to his cabin to fix some things while Otoya went back to his group to help with the plan.

"Since phase 1 is complete... What's phase 2 going to be?" Cecil asked as he handed Otoya a towel. Otoya thanked him as he started drying himself up but had the questioning look on his face also when Cecil asked about phase 2. Ren did his signature smirk when the question came.

"Oh no..." Syo backed up and pointed at Ren. "He's using that smirk!!"

"Jinguji, please don't make it troublesome when things get out of hand." Masato said as he shook his head.

Ren pouted at him as he did a hurt face. "That's mean, Hirijikawa." Masato rolled his eyes as a sigh escaped his lips.

"So what is your plan, Ren?" Tokiya asked.

"Alright. Here's phase 2 on trying to get Ochibi-chan approve by the other Ochibi-chan..."

"DON'T CALL ME THAT!!"

Ren told them the plan as the others listened to his every detailed thought. While Ren was explaining, bit by bit Syo's face was turning into a surprised one until he blushed out of the blue. "I'M NOT DOING THAT!" The blond yelled at him while a red hue started spreading darker through his cheeks. Natsuki laughed at him and started calling him cute while Syo yelled at him as well.

"Do you want to do it or not?" Ren asked him as he crossed his arms.

"You've got no choice, Syo." Otoya spoke up as Cecil nodded in agreement. Tokiya was reluctant on agreeing to it but nodded nonetheless afterwards. Masato sighed again as he shook his head but looked at the blond for his final answer. Natsuki smiled at him as he waited for his answer. Syo looked at them and averted his gaze to the side before groaning in frustration and finally gave in.

"Alright. I'll do it." The others brightened up a bit. "But!"

"But?"

"If you guys mess up in your part, I'm blaming you guys for it."

"Fair enough." Ren said as all of them nodded. He placed his arm around Syo's shoulders and started dragging him to the cabin as the others followed in suit.

"I hope this works..." Syo thought to himself as he walked with the others back in the cabin.

Tsubasa plopped down on the bed as he sighed in relief. "Finally... No annoying and pesky noises around!" He grabbed the pillow beside him and snuggled against it as he let out a soft yawn. "If you need me... I'll be going on a trip to dreamland..."

Misora laughed at him. "Okay. I'll be changing and might as well go for a swim outside while I'm at it."

"Okay~ Have fun~" He replied drowsily and he started dozing off while Misora let out a silent laugh. She went to the bathroom and got herself changed into a swimsuit. Walking out of the bathroom, she made her way to her bag and started rummaging through her things.

A knock sounded through the door as Misora looked up and looked at the door. She strolled over to it and opened it. Syo stood in front of her blushing, pure pink. He was wearing swimming trunks and a shirt with a hood attached to it. He was trying to calm himself down as he looked at Misora. "H-Hey, Misora..."

"Oh, Syo. Is there something you need?" Misora asked him while he tilted her head to the side. The blond fidgeted in place as he took a deep breath and looked at her, still having that tint of pink dusted over his cheeks.

"I-I was wondering... If you want... uh... T-To walk in the beach and maybe.... Hang out a bit...?"

"Sure, why not? Hold on. Let me get ready first." Misora smiled at him before closing the door. The blond made a silent happy jump then he looked to his right after. The other STARISH members were hiding and watching from afar as they gave him a thumbs up while Natsuki was holding a paper that said "Go Syo-chan!!" and Otoya waving a small flag with Syo's name on it. The blond felt a bead of sweat rolled down his head when he looked at them. "Oh brother..."

Misora opened the door and stepped out. Syo looked at her from head to toe and noticed she was wearing a see-through sweater and a two-piece swimsuit skirt. He stared at her, completely in daze at her appearance. The raven head blinked at him and waved her hand in front of his face. "Syo...?"

The blond snapped back to reality as he shook his head. "H-Huh...? W-What...?"

"I was calling your name but you weren't answering and just stared." Misora explained as Syo's face puffed red when she said it.

"A-Ah...! I-I'm sorry...!" Syo flailed his arms as he continued blushing and stuttering at the same time. "I-I was just surprised on how beautiful you are and--" He clamped his mouth and felt the blush on his cheeks reach up to his ears until they were red.

Misora blushed at this and started stammering as well. "T-Thanks..."

"Y-Yeah..." Syo scratched his cheek while he looked away to the side, smiling awkwardly. "A-Anyways... Let's go! There's a place where I want to show you something!"

"Sure! Let's go!"

Syo grinned and grabbed her hand. "Great!" Misora blushed at the contact but smiled back at him nonetheless.

The others watched the two of them walk away holding hands. Natsuki couldn't stop squealing on how cute the two were while Ren was smirking at how this turned out. Tokiya and Masato looked at each other and nodded.

"This is not a good idea, Ren." Tokiya said as he held up a key in his hand.

"This is seriously a risky one to do..." Masato said worriedly as he looked over to the closed door.

"Relax." Ren reassured them as he patted their shoulders. He snatched the key from Tokiya's hand and winked at the others. "We only need to block the one who'll be interrupting Ochibi-chan's date on the beach with a lovely lady~"

Ren locked the door and hid the key in his pocket. Masato and Tokiya looked reluctant but gave in after since they do want to help their fellow member out with his situation. Otoya, Natsuki, and Cecil did a triple high-five and smiled. Ren clapped his hands and smirked.

"Alright. Let's go for phase 3."
