It's funny how something illogical things happen to you so suddenly even though this something that happening right now isn't directly at you. It's so scary that time travelling that people thought was something like human brain's imagination has gone too wild but actually really did exist. Now they were stuck in an unfamiliar situation that any regular people weren't supposed to be. Mitsuki slapped lightly his face in order to focus on the food in the fryer.

He was just interested about what the old man has told them about the incident in fifteen years ago rather than knowing his friends got themselves sent to the past. Weird isn't it?

He doesn't believe that the time travelling has already existed since fifteen years ago. It's just hard to believe. If this someone got themselves exactly like in the twins' situation, who would they be? Since ZOOL would 'kidnap' only popular people then, the one in the fifteen years ago incident must be a popular person.

A few minutes after their friends' departure, like have expected, two early teenagers and a kid suddenly appeared, replacing their future selves. And a few hours later, the dorm has turned into a day-care centre when the redhead pulled the reluctant young Tamaki to play while the young early teenagers with Tenn could only watch silently. Not surprised at all when the light blunette and the redhead were quick become a close friend.

Mitsuki were forcefully being snap away from the thought when he felt a tug on the hem of his apron. Looking down, he smiled at the young pinkette before switch close the stove to make sure the fire won't burn the food.

"What is it, Tenn?"

Over the days—weeks the little twins have spent in the dorms, IDOLiSH7 and TRIGGER were force to learn calling the twins by their given names instead of the usual 'Kujou' and 'Nanase' as to not confusing the kids. It's better that way. They just need to play safe. It's funny how awkward they were on their first try—the Re:vale duo has pointed it out. They both have no problem by calling the twins with their given name because it's what they have been calling to their current 18-year-old fellow idol a.k.a kouhai—and now, both of the group have already used to it.

"Can I have some water please, Mitsuki-san."

"Coming!" Mitsuki responded cheerfully before taking a glass and poured the water in it then carefully gave it to Tenn as he thanked the male.

Mitsuki watched Tenn's figure leaving the kitchen to head to the dining room silently. He bitterly admitted that he missed working on stage. Dancing and singing along with his members, pleasing the fans but he knows. He can't be selfish about what had happened. He just—

No.

They just need to be patient about their current situation and keep smiling. Having problems in life is what makes the life more exciting.

Smiling at the thought, Mitsuki turned towards the stove once again to continue his cooking business, unaware of a pair of eyes watching him silently in knowing spark in their eyes before disappear behind the kitchen's door.

ーoOoー

"Oh no."

Instantly, five pair of eyes landed on Ryuu, three of them shot the brunette a look, asking silently what have made the brunette looks as if he's in trouble while the two of them looked at Ryuu in confusion.

As usual, Re:vale weren't with them. They needed to work extra hard to cover up for TRIGGER and IDOLiSH7's absence. Sometimes, the two group members were so guilty with that but Momo and Yuki just waved away their guiltiness. Saying something like, 'This is least we can do for our kouhai. We were aiming to be a good senpai after all.'

Without them saying that, they already know that both of them were really a good senpai to them. So does the managers. Poor the managers needs to face their fans every day. Its okay, they would make it up for them after this whole mess ended. Hopefully, soon.

The only TRIGGER's member left looked up at the other remain with a trouble face. "It seems that our president will be coming to Japan pretty soon..."

In instant, the others turned pale by the news (except for the young teenagers—young Yamato pushed his glasses while silently watching the adults in the room like a hawk while young Gaku scowled and crossing his arms, clearly wasn't please by their secretive attitude). It would get ugly if president Yaotome found out that two of his underlings went missing and TRIGGER were off from work at the time being.

"Maybe or not... someone like TRIGGER's president would probably understand our situation...?" Even Iori doesn't sound so sure. They could hear the question tone in his voice.

The air grew tension. Each of them trying to think the solving of the matter.

"Why don't we go to the park?"

Two childish voices suddenly speaks right beside each of Nagi's ear, sending the poor blonde jumped a few feet from his sitting spot while shouting, 'Oh my god!' loudly, enough for Mitsuki to come in and check out at them.

"What happened!?"

All of them turned at bewildered Mitsuki before sighing in relief. Of what? Never know...

"Riku, Yotsuba Tamaki. It is not nice doing that to people. What if Nagi-san have a weak heart?" Tenn scolded the two, completely ignoring Nagi said, 'I'm perfectly healthy.' In order to reminding Riku and Tamaki of their behaviours.

Riku looked down on his foot as if it is the most interesting thing to look at while Tamaki stood behind Riku, scared of the pale pinkette. "I'm sorry..." they muttered silently at Nagi in which the other gave them a thumb up, indicating that he has forgiven the both of them.

"Fufufu. Well, why don't we go to the park then? Riku-kun and Tamaki-kun must be bored sitting all day in the dorm." Sougo said as he and Riku shared their knowing smile towards each other while Tamaki looked at both of their exchange.

At least, their tension atmosphere was already gone.

"Wait, how about the lunch?" Iori suddenly interfere.

"Then, why don't we have the lunch outside, like a picnic! Help me packing them up, Iori!"

ーoOoー

"Is it really okay for me to join you guys?" Ryuu said, uncertain by his action.

"Its fine, Tsunashi-san. We were happy to have you here." Sougo said to the brunette while he tried to spoon feeding Tamaki who's always turned his head sideways.

"If only the other members would also join us..."

"Don't moping in front of the food, Nagi. You'll ruin the appetite!" Mitsuki patted his back rather harshly, attempting miserably to comfort his friend.

The brocon trio and the young leaders just watch their interactions as the sideliners, not knowing what to do, Iori help his brother setting up their lunch spot while the twins proceed on playing with each other near the lake.

The park is so wide to have a lake in it. It was located near a forest, a perfect place to have a fresh air in the busy city of Tokyo. Some people and tourists would come here either to work out or taking pictures of the park. There are some stalls, selling foods and souvenirs for the customers that visit the park. It's a good thing the idols (minus the kids) were disguising themselves beforehand. A bit uncomfortable but it will do.

The group were having a nice time laughing and savouring Mitsuki's delicious cooking. Sometimes, they would get some suspicious looks from the people that passed them but eventually they would ignore them as if they'd never exist in the first place and continued their whatever business they were doing previously.

"It's surprisingly easy to handle our younger-selves leaders than the twins and Tamaki." Mitsuki pointed out.
