[Ao]

Droplets of water came from the shower and a foggy atmosphere. 

After using the shower, she close it and submerged herself in the bathtub. 

The water is a bit warm and cozy.

Looking up at the ceiling, Ichika thought of her decision earlier.

She agrees to Ao on taking her here to the hotel restaurant.

They eat and talk about all happenings before her audition.

She is very scared at first that her hands are shaking nonstop. If not for her will, she might immediately quit and go home.

However, she remembers Ao. This adds to her will and gives more boost to face the judges.

Their gaze gives her a shiver however, she continues and continues until she finished her act.

…

"You may go out now. We will tell you later about the result."

At first, I thought that I didn't pass on my audition so I felt sad while stunned into the distance, however, after a few minutes, my manager runs to my position and tells me good news.

"You're passed. Congratulations!"

"Oh… okay…"

"Are you okay, Nakano-san?"

"Yeah… I'm okay…"

My manager is worried and confused about my reaction but didn't do anything to me and just left, giving my brain more time to analyze his words.

My first impression is not to be happy or jump for joy, instead, I nap.

I don't know why but when all of my stress disappear from my body, my eyes wanted to close to have a good sleep, however, since this is not my place, my manager let me nap for almost 10 minutes and then go woke me up.

…

All of this is something I tell Ao, however, right after we eat, he immediately takes me to the elevator and now we arrived in a room to check-in.

I know what he wanted but instead of rejecting him, for some reason, I couldn't.

Seriously… I thought that he is a good guy but I'm wrong. I'm blind by my love for him and didn't immediately see his other side and tonight, this bad wolf will eat me.

Instead of hating him, I become more excited. 

Ugh! I love him, I love him, I love him… I love him… No, wait, calm down… calm… down… calm down. Okay, I'm good.

All my guilts and all my regrets, I will forget it just for this night. 

I wouldn't care about anyone other than him and even my future with him, I will leave the rest to the future.

…

"A-a-ao!"

"Hmm?"

!!!

Coming out of the bathroom, Ao saw Ichika wearing a bathrobe.

Before that, Ao is surfing on the net while waiting for her so that's why his response is plain.

Now that he saw this view, he immediately swallow his drool, making a gulping sound.

Because they are quintuplets, they are almost the same but their aura is not. This is why he quickly knows which is Miku or Itsuki, for example.

He didn't do anything and just wait for her to sit beside him on the bed.

Although Ichika has the will, she's still embarrassed. 

Naturally, after all, this is her first time. 

No words come out of their mouth and silence begins to cover the area but it didn't take that long because Ao put his fingers to her chin and take her sweet lips.

'Cherry'

Is what he thought when he began to put his tongue.
