Iris had just arrived and was excited to get her career started however there was something that was distracting her. That distraction was the one and only Ren Jinguji. She knew he was a flirt. She knew that she would have to make sure she ignored him. She knew that for her group to survive the harshness of stardom she would have to put her fangirling aside and focus on the true goal which was to help Moonlight grow.

She stopped zoning out as she heard a knock on her door. She opened it slightly as she took a peek to see Ren. Her eyes widened as she looked down at the roses in his hand. She closed the door as she noticed they were red roses. Ren knocked again as Iris took a deep breath in and out before she once again opened the door. " I am sorry to burst in on the most beautiful lady~," He says in a flirtatious tone. He is about to kiss her hand however Iris nervously pulls her hand away from his.

She was surprised how brave Ren was to even do that since he should have known about the no romance rule because of how much the academy had drilled that into her she was sure that it would have been the same for Ren and the rest of Starish. She was surprised that he would even take the risk to do this. She thought that maybe it was better to reject the action rather then risk herself getting introuble however as Ren backed up she knew that her rejection of his action didn't faze him. She had heard about him being a playboy which she didn't really want to deal with especially with the fact that she had a feeling that things would get stressful for her soon.

"My~ My~ looks like my rose is skittish today." He said softly as he chuckles while leaning back. Iris backed away a bit so there was some distance between her and Ren. She wanted to get the message across that she wasn't really interested in his antics. " Look, You may get other girls to swoon while doing this however, I have bigger things to focus on." Iris said calmly. Ren's eyes widened slightly at her disapproval. He wasn't exactly used to being turned down like he was now. Ren nodded in response to her comment. " I understand, however all I ask is that you take the roses," Ren responded as he pulled out some red roses for her Iris then showed an awkward smile before taking the roses in her hand.

She quickly placed the flowers into a vase that was placed next to her bed. She appreciated the flowers however part of her felt off by receiving them since she knew of Rens history she felt like the gift was for show rather then it being a genuine gift but she would have felt rude by turning them down. She wasn't exactly used to someone flirting with her so openly especially that being someone who was working amongst her and who was in the biggest group ever. She was not even sure if she would run into him at all let alone them living in the same dorm complex. She was relived that at least the rooms where split up into genders so she could have some breaks from him.

"I will see you later, lady." Ren said smoothly as he swiftly made his way out of the room. As he said this Iris blinked slowly. " Please don't call me laby." She wined as Ren made his way out of the door. She sighed as she moved back over to her packing which was spread across her bed with some of it reaching the floor. She thought back to the interaction as Magomi had made her way back into the room. She looked over to Iris which a curious look on her face. "Did you just see Ren Jinguji!?" Magomi asked curiously as she sat on the clean side of Iris's bed. "Yes, I did. How did you know?" Iris responded as Magomi signaled a gaze towards the door. " I just saw him walk down this hallway. I had had a hunch he would visit one of us." Magomi responded.

Iris nodded as sat down on the bed and nodded. " He did." Iris said awkwardly as Magomi leaned in and excitedly looked over to Iris. Iris leaned back against the wall as she looked back up to Magomi. " How was he?! Was he as charming as the rumors state he is?!" Magomi said excitedly and Iris didn't blame her for the excitement but she didn't exactly know what to say about him since Iris didn't want to break her best friends fantasy.

Iris was a fan of Starish however this was on less of a fangirl level and more as someone who appreciated them. Magomi on the other hand was a lot more of a fangirl. Even though Ren wasn't Magomis favourite Iris could still sense the curiosity Magomi had about the members and what they where like in reality. "Well, He was very nice for bringing me flowers however he was very flirty which didn't really surprise me however it did catch me off guard." Iris responded as she scratched the back of her head awkwardly.

Magomi tilts her head. " Is that a bad thing? I'd be kinda happy if he ended up flirting with me." Magomi curiously asked as Iris nudged Magomi and shook her head. " Have you forgotten about the no love rule already? We also have a busy schedule we need to stick to. We never know what challenge Shining is going to give us." Iris said seriously. Magomi started laughing awkwardly as she scratched the back of her head.

Later Iris was in the practice room as she wanted to practice. She wouldn't be surprised if Shining pulled some surpirse assignment on her. She always liked to be prepared and this was no different. She grabs her phone and looks through her music app as she stumbles across one of Rens songs. She looked through as she decided to choose Red Hot X Love Minds. She then plugged her phone into the nearby speaker and started to play the song.

Meanwhile Ren was walking through the hallway as he heard one of his songs echoing through the halls. He became curious to where the song was going from and who was playing it. He didn't exactly have much to do at that time so he thought to maybe entertain his curiosity. He walked down the halls as he got closer to the room. He heard the music became louder but he also began to hear footsteps and the squeaking of shoes. He walked slower since he didn't want to disturb the focus on whoever was dancing.

Once he arrived closer to the door he quietly opened it. He still made sure not to disturb her however she seemed to focused for her to notice him. He leaned against the wall as he watched her graceful moves. She did make small mistakes here and there but overly Ren found her to be a very skilled dancer. He had assumed that she would have some sort of skill in dancing since most idols had at least some sort of training in dancing.

Once Iris had finished dancing her eyes widened as she blushed slightly. She then began to raise an eyebrow curiously as she looked towards Ren. " What brought you to this room?" Iris asked with her flustered tone still showing in her voice. Ren leant off the wall as he let out a soft smirk. " I heard my music and I guess curiosity caught me and lead me straight to you and your beautiful dancing~" He said flirtatously as Iris just looked away from him. "Thank you however I do not welcome your flirting." Iris said as she tied her hair up into a ponytail.

Meanwhile as Ren was in the room Masato was walking through the hallway as he was making his way to a practice room. Masato heard Ren's voice as he stood there for a minute. He usually didn't care about what Ren did however he did care if it would risk Ren or Starish since Masato cared deeply about the reputation the group had especially since he was taught that reputation meant everything. He would definitely not want someone like Ren to threaten the reputation of the group by dating someone under a potential rival group.

Ren looked at her seriously as he nodded. " I'm here to give you encouragement. I understand what it's like to start as an idol and its probably worse for female idols. Just know you have my support lady." Iris's eyes widened as she heard him as she then cleared her throat. " T-Thank you I will keep that in mind." She said as she looked at him. " C-can we talk later? I need to focus on my dancing. " she responded as Ren politely nodded.

" I will leave you be." He said as he then winked before closing the door. He quietly chuckled as Iris rolled her eyes in reaction. He liked meeting new people, yes but he felt like Iris was different. Even though she was new he could see that she had some potential and was pretty skilled.

As soon as Ren entered the hallway he looked over to Masato who as usual was looking at him with a very serious look in his eyes. Ren sighed as he tried to walk the other way however Masato came to block Rens route. " Are you not busy?" Ren asked with a raised eyebrow.

Masato looked pretty concerned which made Ren curious as to why him chatting with Iris had made Masato so concerned. "Jinguji, you are aware that they may be a rival group. I suggest your careful with your interactions with Moonlight." Masato said as his tone was a mix of both seeiousness and concern.

Ren seemed to shrug it off. He chuckled as Masato narrowed his gaze at him. "I'm being serious Jinguji! Just keep what I said in mind." Masato said as he noted Rens reaction. Masato looked down at the time as he continued walking towards one of the practice rooms. Ren looked behind him at Masato as he walked away. He felt confused for a minute until he decided to shrug off what Masato had said as he starts to walk away towards his dorm room.

Later on in the day Iris was walking through the hallway as she was breathing heavily with water in her left hand. She looked up as she saw Ringo walk towards her. Ringo smiled happily as he clapped his hands together enthusiastically. " There you are! Shining is calling you to his office. Just get there as soon as possible." Ringo said with that same excited tone. In reaction to this Iris tried to hide her hesitancy. She always felt scared when Shining called on her since she would always have a part of her that would wonder if she was in trouble.

She hesitantly walked into the office as she was shocked to see Ren there which then made her more confused. Iris walked forward as she kept her posture. She tried her best to hide her nervousness as she then looked down to hide her obviously worried expression. Ren glanced over as he could tell her nervousness however he knew that he couldn't really do much about this especially since he was standing in front of Shining.

Shining looked between Ren and Iris seriously as he leaned back against his chair. " A modelling agency needs you both for a photo shoot. You will need to work together so that the photos can come out the best they can." Shining stated. He then lowered his glasses as his piercing gaze lingered between Iris and Ren. " Would you be able to take this on?" He added as Iris and Ren politely nodded in response which was followed by them saying in unison " Yes sir."

"Good~!" Shining elongated as he then pulled his glasses back up as Ren and Iris where then dismissed. Once Iris and Ren are out of the office Ren then glanced over to Iris with a flirtatious gaze. " I look forward to working with you ...Rose~." He said flirtatously. Iris blushed lightly as she was caught off guard by the sudden change of her nickname. She quickly shook it off as she glanced over to Ren with a polite smile. " It will be nice to work with you as well." She said with a bow as she then leant back up and walked away.

Rens eyes widen slightly as he glanced at her walking away from him. He had never been ignored like that before and he wondered what would have made her run away from him so quickly. Meanwhile Iris quickly walked to the practice room as she felt slightly flustered by his comment. Even though she wanted to flirt back at first she knew that she had to keep being professional since she didn't want to put herself or her group in trouble.
