Summary: A girl was forced to change her identity and gender due to her family problem. On the other hand, Chinen Yuuri of the famous boy band 'Hey! Say! JUMP' injured himself in one of their rehearsals for the upcoming winter concert. A temporary replacement was found to replace him. Will the other members, especially his good friend - Yamada Ryosuke, be able to accept the fact about his injury and the new member? And who exactly is this mysterious replacer with an unknown past?
A black shiny Mercedes Benz arrived at the front gate of Tokyo High School. Everyone stopped on their tracks and averted their attention to the Mercedes. Time seemed to stop moving and the whole place became silent.
The back door of the Mercedes clicked open, revealing a young girl. She gracefully stepped out and straightened her uniform slightly before standing on the pavement. Her name is Ito Mizuki, second-year student. Because of her stunning appearance, well-mannered personality and not leaving out that she's always the top student in the whole cohort, she was very popular in the school.
Seconds after Mizuki had stepped out, a young guy followed behind her. He straightened himself before closing the door shut. Turning around, he flashed a smile at Mizuki. His name is Nakano Ryota, second-year student. Like Mizuki, Ryota was also very popular in the school. With his dazzling appearance, it was said that his smile could charm any girls and adding on that he's always following closely behind Mizuki - ranking second in the whole cohort.
Ryota walked towards Mizuki and slipped his arm around her slim waist.
As they walked past the other students, they greeted them warmly. All eyes were on them until the couple had disappeared completely into the school building. Then, everything was back to normal. Time starts moving and the place became noisy like usual. The only difference was that all the male students were talking about Mizuki while all the female students were talking about Ryota. And the only reason to explain all these was because the both of them were too perfect to be real.
----------------------------------------------------------
"Ah, Yama-chan! Good Morning!" Yuto greeted as he spotted Ryosuke walking towards him.
It was still early before the rehearsal starts and only Yuto had reached the dance studio.
"Mor…ning...Yuto..," Ryosuke greeted with a yawn as he placed his big bag on the table.
Taking out his practice clothing, he walked slowly towards the changing. Few minutes later, Ryosuke returned and saw that the BEST members, except Daiki, had reached.
"Morning, Yabu-kun, Hikaru-kun, Kei-kun, Takagi," Ryosuke greeted while placing his neatly folded clothes into the bag.
Smack!
"Ouch!" Ryosuke groaned, his left hand immediately flew to the side of his head that was stinging in pain and glared hard at the attacker, “What was that for?!"
"It's TakaKI and not TakaGI!" Yuya scolded before folding his arms across his chest and sat back on the chair.
Ryosuke clicked his tongue and averted his attention back to his clothes.
"What's the big deal? It's dumb to make a fuss out of that," Ryosuke muttered under his breath while rubbing the spot that was hit earlier by the Duet magazine.
"I heard that, Yama-chan!" Yuya yelled, glaring at him.
Ryosuke turned around and stuck out his tongue at him.
"TakaGI!"
And the two of them started running around the studio with Yuya chasing after him.
As the rehearsal time was getting nearer, other members started to arrive and finally, everyone had reached. The members gathered themselves in the middle of the studio while waiting for Kota's instructions.
"Alright guys, we've been rehearsing these dance moves for the past three days. I know that some of you have already memorized parts of the moves while others are still somehow clueless about it. So for today, we're going to rehearse all the dance moves again from the beginning to the end. It'll be tough but I'm sure we can get through it together. Our winter concert is just in two months' time and I don't think anyone of you would want to disappoint any of our fans, right?" Kota shouted with a smile while looking at the members.
"Yes!" the other nine members yelled back with all their might.
"Yosh! Keep that spirit of yours up! Let's start from the very beginning now!" Kota shouted again.
The members stood at their positions while Kota headed to the music player. As soon as his finger hit the 'play' button, everyone became serious and focused themselves on the rehearsal. The first few songs were done very smoothly and the next song that came up was 'Smile Song'. Reaching the chorus part, Yuuri was supposed to do a backflip. Just as he jumped and did the backflip, his feet landed on the floor but before he could stand up straight, he slipped and fell hard on his back.
Bang!
All the members stopped dancing and averted their attention to Yuuri who was lying on the floor.
"Chii!" the members shouted and rushed to him immediately while Kota went to stop the music player.
"Chii! Are you alright?" Ryosuke asked worriedly, as he lifted Yuuri's upper body onto his lap.
Instead of replying, Yuuri clutched onto his right arm tightly. Kota, who came back after pausing the player, noticed it immediately.
"Yama-chan, Yuto, carry Chii to the couch. Be careful with his right arm," Kota ordered.
Once Yuuri was placed on the couch, Kota told Yuya and Hikaru to get their manager while Daiki was to call the ambulance. Ryosuke watched anxiously at his fellow band mates rushing in and out of the door. However, looking at Yuuri, he was even more worried.
Yuuri was wearing a pained expression while clutching very tightly onto his right arm. A bad feeling washed over him and he decided to approach Kota.
"Yabu-kun, Chii didn't break his arm right?" he asked carefully, hoping that it wasn't the truth but Kota merely looked at him with a solemn expression.
"We must be prepared for the worst," Kota said grimly and Ryosuke's heart sank almost immediately.
Few minutes later, the ambulance arrived and all the 7 members followed Yuuri to the hospital while the BEST members stayed behind. A minute after they had left, their manager came rushing in.
"What happened? Why was Chinen-kun brought into the ambulance car?" he asked anxiously and his eyes were darting continuously from one member to another.
The BEST members let out a heavy sigh.
"While we were practicing our dance moves for 'Smile Song', Chii did his usual backflip but he didn't manage to land properly. He slipped and fell hard on his back," Kota said, pausing halfway to look up at their manager and continued, “I think that he had used his right arm to lessen the impact on his back.”
Before their manager could reply, Kota's phone rang. Immediately, he flipped it open and pressed it hard against his ear.
“Hello?”
"Yabu-kun, Chii's condition is stable."
"Okay, I understand. We'll be heading over now."
And he hanged up. Looking at the other BEST members and their manager, he told them about Yuuri's current condition.
"Alright, the five of you may go. Yabu-kun, please update me on Chinen-kun's condition as soon as possible. I need to inform Johnny-san about it," their manager said and the BEST members nodded before rushing over.

The last school bell rang, indicating the end of another school day, and the students in the class started packing their bags.
"Mi-chan, Kato-san has already reached the school gate," Ryota whispered softly and Mizuki stared at him in surprised.
"Woah, that’s early!"
Ryota nodded his head and Mizuki sighed.
"Alright, I'm done."
"Let’s go then," Ryota said, grabbing her hand and laced their fingers together.
Just before they walked out of the classroom, they bided goodbye to their classmates who waved back happily.
Reaching the school gate, Ryota opened the back door for Mizuki before getting in and slammed it shut. The Mercedes then drove into the streets and back to their house.
----------------------------------------------------------
"We’re home!"
"Ah! Welcome back, Ryoko, Mizuki," Natsume, Ryoko’s mother, called out.
Ryoko walked over to give her a hug.
"Mou Kaa-san, didn’t I told you to call me Ryota?" Ryoko pouted which Natsume and Mizuki laughed at her expression.
"I’m sorry, Ryoko. I've been calling you by your real name for the past fourteen years until you decided to change it three years ago," Natsume explained and Ryoko sighed.
"It’s okay, Kaa-san. Until I've get revenge for us, I’ll never change my name back," Ryoko growled with a glare before excusing herself to her room.
Natsume and Mizuki stared at her back view with a sigh.
"Well, I guess I'll be heading back to my room too," Mizuki said, after hearing Ryoko slamming the door shut.
"No, hold on for a second, Mizuki!" Natsume quickly said, causing Mizuki to stop on her tracks.
"Your Otou-san will be joining us for dinner tonight," she continued and Mizuki spun around immediately.
"Really?" she asked excitedly and Natsume nodded.
It had been a long time since her father last joined them together to have dinner and Mizuki was really glad that he could make it that night. Smiling widely, she skipped back into her room and Natsume shook her head slightly with smile.
