Chapter Text
Haruka hasn’t heard from Minori in weeks, in fact the rest of More More Jump Hasn’t. She has been missing rehearsals and always leaving phone calls on voicemail.
Haruka feels this deep pit in her stomach as she stands in front of Minori’s apartment door. Why is she this nervous? She looks back into the memories of when they both met in highschool and how Minori helped Haruka become an idol again and followed her dream. She loves her, legit. It’s a kind of love where she loves spending time with Minori, the kind of love where she wants to be with Minori forever.
Haruka is a door away from her. She knocks on the door, no answer. Maybe she’s out on a trip with her family, but Minori would’ve told the group about it by now. Haruka knocks again, no answer. Sweat goes down from her forehead. It’s summer and it always gets warm around this area.
“Minori…It’s Haruka, are you in there?” Haruka yells out across the door hoping for an answer.
There is still no answer. The pit in Haruka’s stomach grows bigger as her heart thumps faster in her chest. Maybe Minori had enough of being an idol and finally escaped the idol nightmare and industry. If so, is what she’s been saying to the group about wanting to be an idol and everything else a lie?
Haruka turns the knob on the apartment door. Her hand starts to shake as she realizes the door is unlocked and fully swinged open revealing a whoof of a disgusting stench. It smells rotten, making Haruka feel like she’s gonna puke everywhere.
She covers her nose with her hand navigating the small apartment. Everything looks normal so far. Haruka has been to Minori’s apartment all of the time so everything else looks normal, except the bedroom. For some reason, Haruka can feel an uneasy aura from the bedroom, she can’t point her finger on why but Minori’s room usually has this easy going sort of vibe to Haruka.
Haruka has two options, to go home and pretend she never even went into Minori’s apartment and accept the fact that she left everyone and went somewhere else or to go into her bedroom and to find out what’s that uncomfortable aura inside.
“Minori..?”
Haruka wishes she went with the first option.
