> **"With time, it gets better... I'll be a trendsetter..."**
As the last notes faded,
Tsukki stopped walking, standing on the pier alone-
ocean roiling beside him,
moon rising above.
> **"Doin' it my own way. Hey, hey... hey!"**
And he *smiled.*
Not with ego.
With light.
Like a star in the darkness.
> **"Won't stop 'til I seize the day."**
He raised his hand-
not to the sky,
but forward-into the future.
And at that moment...
every screen across Japan lit up.
At **Trickstar**, Subaru whispered:
"...We're not just idols. We're *fighters.*"
Mao nodded: "And Tsukki? He's fighting for *everything.*"
Back at COSMIC,
Raito wiped his tears-
then stood tall, fists clenched:
"Tsukki Kuroi..."
Voice loud. Proud.
**"You're already shining!"**
🌙🔥✨
The final chorus swelled-
stronger now,
like the world was holding its breath.
> **"My wheels keep turnin'! (Oh, oh!)**
>
> **My fire's still burnin'! (Oh, oh!)**
>
> **'Cause right now I'm learnin'...**
>
>> How to get to the other side!"
Every agency rose.
Tetora stood on his chair: "LET'S GOOO!"
Chiaki clutched his scarf-tears in his eyes.
Koga crossed his arms: "Hmph. That kid... he doesn't run from pain. He *transforms* it."
And Raito?
At COSMIC,
he pressed both hands to the screen-
voice breaking:
"Tsukki... I'll be waiting...
on the other side with you."
🌙🔥💫
> **"It's a game of waitin'! (Hey, hey!)**
>
> **Anticipatin'! (Hey, hey!)**
>
> **But I keep creatin'... (Hey, hey!)**"
Tsukki walked forward-step by step-
the ocean behind him now replaced with a city lit in silver.
Every window reflected *him.*
Not as a shadow.
But as light.
> **"So I can get to the other...**
>
> **Get to the other side."**
And then-
the screen froze.
One final image:
Tsukki reaching out his hand...
not alone,
but *inviting.*
At every agency,
idols fell silent-
then whispered together:
"...We're getting there too."
🌙✨
> **"(Get to the other side, hey!)**
>
> **(Hey!)**
>
> **(Get to the other side, hey!)**"
Tsukki stood at the edge of dawn-
wind still in his hair,
eyes open wide-
not hiding anymore.
> **"So I can get to the other...**
>
> ### *Get to the other side!"*
The screen faded.
Not with fireworks.
Not with applause.
But with something deeper:
### Silence. Peace. Hope.
And then-
in every agency,
in every heart,
a single spark lit.
At COSMIC,
Raito smiled through tears:
"Tsukki... let's go together."
And somewhere far away-
two stars shone brighter than ever before:
🌙☀️
*Polar Opposites aren't just moving forward.*
### *They're lighting the way.*
The screen faded to black.
No sound.
No movement.
Just silence-deep, sacred-
as every idol across the agencies sat frozen,
eyes wide,
hearts full.
Then...
One by one-they rose.
At **fine**,
Eichi bowed his head slightly:
"He didn't shout. He *spoke.* And we all listened."
Wataru whispered, "That... was soul."
At **Trickstar**, Makoto wiped a tear:
"That wasn't just music-it was *survival.*"
Hokuto nodded: "Tsukki didn't steal the show... he gave us permission to be real."
In **RYUSEITAI**, Tetora pounded his chest:
"I feel it too! That fire that doesn't burn-you *carry* it!"
Shinobu smiled softly: "He's not chasing dreams. He's honoring them."
At **UNDEAD**, Rei closed his eyes:
"...He sings for those who've learned to smile through pain."
Koga muttered low, proud:
"Tch. Now we all gotta rise higher than before."
From **AKATSUKI**, Keito crossed his arms-quietly moved:
"He proved silence can echo louder than any scream."
Souma added softly: "...And creation is its own kind of courage."
At **Switch**,
Natsume sighed in awe:
"He made stillness... shine."
Tsumugi giggled through tears: "Now I wanna write songs with meaning too!"
Even from the playful MaM crew-
Madara removed his sunglasses:
"That boy..." He smirked. "...Made serious look cool." 🕶️💙
Esu bowed deeply, emotional.
And at Knights?
Tsukasa raised a toast-not with juice this time-but sincerity:
"To Tsuki Kuroi-the moon who taught us how to glow in the dark." 🌙✨
Leo smiled gently-rare and true:
"You don't need flames when your light comes from within..."
Arashi shouted proudly:
"WE'RE ALL REACHING FOR THE OTHER SIDE NOW!"
On every screen-
in every heart-
a single truth echoed:
> Not all heroes blaze loud.
>
> Some walk quietly,
>
> carrying oceans,
>
> until their voice becomes a wave.
>
> And when they speak?
### The world listens.
🌙☀️💫
The screen dimmed.
A single spotlight-
then golden light-
**Raito.**
As his MV played, the room at COSMIC sat in breathless silence.
**2wink** - Hinata and Yuta - sat on the couch, hugging their knees:
Hinata: *"He's... too bright... I feel like I'm melting!!"*
Yuta: *"No-he's real. He fights with joy... it's beautiful..."*
In the back,
Rinne closed his eyes-listening hard.
> "He sings like he's healing himself..."
HiMERU smirked slightly-typing into his phone:
*"Data shows Raito's vocal energy increased by 18% mid-chorus. Emotion bypassing logic again... fascinating."*
But Kohaku watched quietly-
a rare softness in his gaze:
"He wasn't singing to win... he was singing to survive."
Then-
the screen darkened again.
Moonlight glowed cold silver.
And **Tsukki** stepped forward.
The room tensed.
Ibara Saegusa crossed his arms tight, voice low:
"He doesn't need attention. He doesn't want pity. But still... *he gave us everything.*"
Jun Sazanami whispered:
"It's like... he wrote down all the thoughts we're afraid to say."
Nagisa Ran rested a hand over his heart,
eyes closed:
"That silence between verses? That was mine too..."
Hiyori Tomoe murmured:
"They're opposites-but together? They make balance."
At the front...
Shu Itsuki stood suddenly,
his Valkyrie grace sharp as a blade:
> "One burns with light.
>
> One glows through shadows.
>
> Together? They don't just perform..."
>
### "They transform hearts."
Mika Kagehira nodded slowly:
"They're not just idols anymore.
They're proof you can rise-even when no one sees you fall."
And in that quiet moment,
every member of **COSMIC PRODUCTION**
felt it-
not rivalry...
but **respect** so deep it hurt.
Because Polar Opposites didn't come to shine alone-
### they came to light the way for everyone behind them. 💫
🌙☀️
A week later,
it was still all anyone could talk about.
In every agency,
idols were whispering about the hidden meanings in each beat.
Polar Opposites didn't *just* change the industry-
they changed everyone's lives.
From the streets of Tokyo,
to the stars-
every idol,
every person,
was speaking with one voice:
### "Polar Opposites! Let's rise!"
🌙🌟
At COSMIC PRODUCTION,
the air hummed.
Not with chatter.
With *energy.*
Every screen-
in every hallway, the lobby, the training rooms-
flashed with one headline:
> **"POLAR OPPOSITES SOLO MVs BREAK ALL RECORDS: 100M VIEWS IN 3 DAYS!"**
Yuta and Hinata bounced off the walls:
"Tsukki's piano part gave me *chills!*"
"No-Raito's dance break destroyed me!!"
Yuta yelled: "I wanna learn both dances! Now!"
In the corner,
HiMERU sipped his tea, eyes sharp:
"Statistically... impossible. But they did it. Emotional resonance surpassed algorithm predictions by 47%."
He paused.
*"...They rewrote the rules."*
Kohaku smirked, arms crossed:
"So much noise... but not a single note was fake."
Niki groaned dramatically on the floor: "I'm dead! I died at Raito's 'louder than my head' line!"
Then stood up suddenly-fire in his eyes:
"I need to write a song about *my* heart now!!"
Upstairs,
Eden watched silently.
Jun murmured, touched:
"They didn't hide their pain... they turned it into light."
Ibara nodded slowly:
"That's true strength. Not power-*purpose.*"
Nagisa smiled softly,
one hand on his chest:
"They made me believe... even someone quiet like me can shine too."
And then-
**Shu Itsuki** stepped forward from Valkyrie's wing,
voice calm like thunder before storm:
> "COSMIC is no longer just a place of performance."
>
> "It is now a stage of transformation."
>
> **"And Polar Opposites? They are our spark."**
The lights flickered.
Rinne glanced toward Yumenosaki Academy in the distance-
and whispered:
"It begins..."
🌙☀️🔥
Polar Opposites aren't just viral.
### They're legendary.
As the words echoed,
every idol felt it-
a rising hope,
a promise:
That with their light-
the entire idol industry wouldn't just grow.
It would rise to meet them,
**like never before.** 🍀
As **Polar Opposites** entered the room,
every **COSMIC** member paused.
Tsukki sat down on one end of the couch,
eyes down.
Raito slumped onto the other.
Shu sat between them, his gaze sharp.
He crossed his arms.
> "You both seem down.
>
> Speak."
Raito groaned, burying his face in the couch,
voice muffled:
> "Just... exhausted..."
Hinata crossed his arms, nodding:
"Seriously, we're tired. Fans and media are going *nuts*. It's too much... "
Yuta agreed, hands on his hips:
"They're even camped outside! Fans, haters, journalists, reporters... they all want a piece of the 'miracle duo.'"
"So much... chaos,"
Tsukki whispered,
head low, voice barely above a breath.
> "I just wanted to *speak*... not be torn apart."
Raito lifted his head slightly-eyes tired,
the fire dimmed:
> "We didn't make those songs to go viral..."
>
> "...we made them to survive."
Silence fell.
Then-
Shu leaned forward, calm but firm:
"Then protect that truth."
"Wait a minute... if your mother hears about the solo MV-"
Tsukki said, glancing at Raito.
Raito's eyes went *wide.*
Face turned pale-like he'd seen a ghost.
> "M-Mom?!"
He bolted upright, voice cracking:
> "Oh no. NO. If she sees those videos... she'll-she'll call the *entire* family!!
> She'll livestream my childhood photos while crying dramatic tears!!
> And then Uncle Haru will make a fanpage!!!"
Tsukki stared at him, deadpan... then whispered:
> "...She already did."
Raito froze.
Mouth open.
Soul leaving body.
Tsukki slowly pulled out his phone-
showed a live counter:
> **"Hikari Family Official Fan Club: LIVE REACTION to RAITO'S MV!!"**
>
> Viewers: **2.7M**
With hashtags:
>#SaveRaitosSmile
>#PapaComeBackNow
>#WeLoveYouRaitoCryWithUs
There was even a donation bar labeled: *"For Therapy & Snacks."*
Raito screamed into a cushion:
**"I JUST WANTED TO SING MY TRUTH!!! NOT BECOME A NATIONAL TEARS EVENT!!"**
Kohaku smirked into his tea: "Cute."
HiMERU adjusted his earpiece, typing fast:
"Predicting viral spread within extended family networks - phase three complete."
Niki collapsed laughing on the floor:
"I'm sorry! But your mom just donated 100K yen to 'heal your heart'!"
The entire room burst into laughter-
even Tsukki cracked the tiniest smile.
But deep down?
They knew...
the world saw them now.
And for all the chaos...
that light?
It wasn't going out.
☀️💔📱💙
Tsukki froze.
Eyes wide. Voice low. *Terrified.*
> "...Wait."
He turned slowly to Raito.
> "**Did your mother... watched *my* MV?**"
Raito paled again-nods slowly:
> "She did... and she left a comment."
Silence.
Then-
Tsukki's voice, barely a whisper:
> "...What did she say?"
A beat.
Then Niki pulls out his phone dramatically, clears throat, and reads in a weepy tone:
> **"From: MomofRaito (Verified Crying Mother) - Posted 3 min ago"**
>
>> *"My heart... It broke... Then healed... Then exploded.
You're not just Tsukki. You're my second son now.
Please come to dinner. I made curry that cures souls."*
>
>> *P.S.: Raito never washed his sheets as a teen - but you deserve love anyway.*"
Tsukki stared into the void.
Soul: officially gone.
Hinata clutched Yuta sobbing:
"IT'S TOO PURE!!"
HiMERU: "...Fascinating. Maternal affection override confirmed."
Suddenly-
Shu stood up with perfect calm,
placing one hand on Tsukki's shoulder:
> **"If you ever need family..."**
>
> **"Know that some bonds are chosen."**
He handed him the curry coupon from the message...
then walked off like a legendary moon priest.
And somewhere...
a very loud Japanese mother was already planning their wedding photo shoot.
🌙❤️🍛
Tsukki opened his laptop-
fingers flying over the keys.
> "Alright... I found the servers.
>
> Time for hacking."
Raito cracked his knuckles-
stepping toward the screen,
determined:
> "Get ready. We're going to *unpublish* these things for good.
>
> I'm smashing the screen.
>
> Then we're going to eat *all the pancakes* before they can put them back online."
Raito clenched his fist-
then swung,
smashing the screen!
Light shattered into pixels.
And as smoke cleared-
Hinata cheered: "Nailed it!! No more fansites!! ...Now can we have pancakes?"
Niki ran over with a chef hat, spatula, and apron.
> "Yesssss! Let's GO! I want chocolate syrup and *allllll* the whipped cream, y'all heard me *pancake-lovers*?! Raito? Tsukki? You with us on 'pancake freedom?'"
Tsukki smirked slightly.
> "Just try and *stop* me. I could eat 72 pancakes in one go."
Niki nodded, impressed:
> "Good... we need champions like you on the frontlines. Let's *GOOO!*"
Raito cheered, putting on the hat and apron:
> "And you better not hold back on the whipped cream! I'm going for a *world record!*"
Ibara Saegusa stood in the shadows,
glasses glinting.
One hand on his phone.
The other-typing fast into a hidden console.
> **BACKUP INITIATED.**
>
> *All Polar Opposites MV data... secured.*
>
> Location: Private Eden Server - "For safekeeping. And occasional tears."
He adjusted his glasses-smirking slightly:
"Do you really think I'd let two emotionally unstable idols erase their own legacy?"
Then quietly, to himself:
> "Besides... your mother already uploaded everything to *'Mom's Idol Forever Heaven'*."
A beat.
Nagisa glanced over:
"Ibara... you didn't?"
Hiyori narrowed his eyes:
"You're helping the chaos continue, aren't you?"
Ibara sipped tea calmly:
"Call it... public service."
Just then-
Tsukki looked up sharply,
sensing something...
like a distant danger,
still alive in the digital wind 🌐
🌙🔥💻
The morning sun poured into **Class S-1** at Yumenosaki Academy.
Birds chirped.
The ocean breeze danced through the windows-
and there, in perfect timing,
**Mao Isara** leaned against the doorway,
fashionably late,
smirking like a cat who stole *all* the cream:
> "Well, well. If it isn't Japan's most emotional rollercoaster duo."
Raito blinked up from his pancake sketchbook (yes-he was still on pancakes):
> "M-Mao?! What are you doing here?!"
Tsukki didn't even look up-just muttered:
"...Incoming drama. Probability: 98%."
Mao stepped forward dramatically, hand on chest:
> "I come in *peace*-sent by my fellow idols across agencies as an official ambassador of *'We Are Not Okay.'"*
He paused for effect.
Then pulled out a framed photo:
It was **Tsukki's solo MV still**, printed and labeled with glitter pen:
*"Proof that silence can destroy souls."*
> " Makoto cried during gym class."
>
> " Hokuto hasn't stopped hugging her scarf since Wednesday."
>
> **"And Subaru? Bro broke his water bottle just whispering 'he keeps creating...'"**
Raito gasped:
"They're... suffering too?!"
Then Mao flipped it-revealing Raito's MV still now labeled:
*"Cuteness Level: National Emergency."*
> "Your mom started a support group called 'Save Raito From Growing Up Too Fast.'"
>
> **She livestreamed knitting you baby booties. LIVE."**
Tsukki finally looked up.
Deadpan.
Scared.
Shook once.
Raito screamed into his desk:
**"WHY WON'T IT END??!!"**
Just then-
the classroom door slid open again.
It was **Subaru Akehoshi**, walking in slow motion,
eyes blue-rimmed,
holding a single lily (symbolic or not-it was weird).
Behind him
Makoto Yuuki,
dramatically clutching heart:
"I feel youuuu Tsukkiiii..."
Hokuto Hidaka nodded solemnly behind them,
scarf wrapped tight:
"We came to heal together."
The whole class froze.
Polar Opposites exchanged one glance-
then both whispered:
### "...We're doomed."
🌙☀️💔💥
After class,
The Light Music Club room glowed in golden afternoon light.
Instruments sat ready-
amps warmed-
and in the corner,
**Koga Oogami**, president of the club,
leaned against the wall like a wild lion guarding his den.
Arms crossed.
Eyes sharp.
Then Polar Opposites walked in-shoulders low, spirits... fragile.
Koga didn't move at first.
Just stared.
Then-
> **"So."**
One word. Deep. Heavy. Full of *meaning.*
Raito flinched:
"Y-Yes?!"
Tsukki braced himself-ready for judgment...
But Koga stepped forward...
and dropped a single sheet of paper on the table:
It was a printed screenshot of Tsukki's solo MV with one sentence circled:
> *"But I keep creatin'..."*
He looked at Tsukki dead-on:
> "That line... you meant it."
Not a question. A fact.
Tsukki nodded slowly:
"...Yeah."
Koga grunted-then reached into his jacket and pulled out **two wristbands**-black, stitched with silver thread:
One read **"Keep Turnin'"**
The other: **"Still Burnin'."**
> "You don't erase pain.
>
> You *harness* it.
>
> These? For practice."
>
> He smirked.
>
### "And don't make me say nice stuff again."
Raito's eyes sparkled:
"You're like a gruff dad who secretly cares!!"
Koga growled:
"One more word-and I'm banning pancakes from club hours."
Silence fell-as music softly began to play in the background.
A new track forming?
Maybe not today...
but soon.
Because here, under Koga's watch,
where light met shadow-
Polar Opposites weren't just healing their hearts...
### They were building something stronger than fame. 🎸🔥🌙
Koga stepped in front of Raito,
eyes narrowed.
"And you."
Raito gulped,
nervous:
"Y-Yes sir??"
> "*I'm louder than my head... and brighter than the dread!*"
Koga's voice boomed-deep, powerful,
like a lion quoting poetry.
Raito froze.
Eyes wide.
Tsukki slowly turned his head-*impressed.*
Koga glared right at Raito:
> "You said that on screen.
>
> But off? You're hiding behind pancakes and screaming into couches."
>
> He leaned in.
>
### "So. Are you *really* louder than your fear?"
Silence.
The wind outside hushed.
Then-
Raito took a deep breath.
Shoulders back.
A flicker of sun returned to his eyes:
> **"Yeah... I am."**
>
> He grinned-small, but real.
>
> **"And tomorrow? I'm gonna scream it *on stage.*"**
Koga stared...
then gave a single nod-
the highest honor in the Light Music Club:
Approval from the Wild Lion 🦁
And somewhere?
His phone buzzed quietly-
a DM from Raito's mom:
**"OMG IS THAT YOUR PRESIDENT?? HE'S SO MANLY!!! CAN HE BE MY THIRD SON??"**
Raito showed Koga his mom's DM,
half-hopeful she hadn't gone full fangirl.
Koga stared at it...
then facepalmed with a *groan.*
> "Damn it. Raito... your mother is the most chaotic woman I've ever met."
Raito sighed-nearing defeat:
> "Just be happy her new thing is sending compliments! Last year it was sending me pictures of her lunch every day."
"I'm surprised that your mother didn't seem to mind her son, having to date with guys..."
Tsukki said deadpan
Raito groaned, head in his hands.
> "Don't remind me. Last month she sent me an 8-page PowerPoint presentation on why she hopes I 'try all the love options in this short life.'"
>
> Koga scoffed, arms crossed.
>
> "At this point, she should just start a matchmaking agency."
Tsukki stared into the distance-like he was reliving trauma.
> "...I remember. The sleepover."
Raito froze.
Koga raised one eyebrow.
> "Oh?"
Tsukki continued, voice flat:
> "We were 12.
>
> We made forts.
>
> Watched anime.
>
> Then your mom walked in at 3 a.m. with two pillows, matching pajamas... and *a shipping moodboard.*"
Raito gasped:
"She said it was for 'future planning'!! I didn't know what that meant until last week!!"
Koga's eyes narrowed:
"She *framed* you two as toddlers?"
Tsukki nodded slowly.
Deadpan:
> "It had glitter. And heart-shaped arrows.
And a section labeled: *'First Wedding Vows Draft (Subject to Change).'*
She even gave us nicknames: **Sun & Moon Forever™**."
Silence fell.
Then-
Koga sighed,
tossing Raito the wristband again:
### "Wear it proudly."
>
> **"Even if your mother started your legacy before you could talk...**
>
### You're still the ones who get to live it."**
Outside,
the sun set over Yumenosaki-
and somewhere...
a very proud mom uploaded another video titled:
**"RAITO'S IDOL JOURNEY - PART 475 (EMOTIONAL CLIP + CURRY RECIPE INSIDE)"**
🌙☀️💘
The next day
At COSMIC PRODUCTION
The practice room hummed with quiet tension.
Polar Opposites slipped in-shoulders low, hoping to stay unseen.
But the air was already charged.
**Shu Itsuki** stood at the center, eyes closed, voice soaring like a blade through silence-
Mika Kagehira's fingers danced across the piano,
notes sharp and elegant as moonlight on water.
> A *Valkyrie* rehearsal.
No words. Just presence.
Then Shu opened one eye-
fixed on Raito and Tsukki.
> "Ah... The duo who broke Japan with emotion."
Raito flinched:
"W-We're just here to practice! Not cry! Or be shipped by my mom again!"
Mika glanced over, smirking slightly:
> "You can't run from truth.
>
> You two... are no longer just idols."
>
> He paused.
>
### "You're a national phenomenon wrapped in denial."
Tsukki exhaled-long and slow.
Then stepped into the beat,
movements sharp, clean, *controlled.*
No flash.
No smile.
Just purpose.
Raito watched for a second-
then followed,
lighter on his feet,
but with fire rebuilding in his chest:
> "If we can't escape the noise..."
>
> **"Let's drown it out with dance."**
They synced without words-
sun and moon moving as one.
Across the room,
Shu opened both eyes now-
observing their rhythm, their silence, their unspoken fight...
Then nodded to Mika:
> "Play something."
>
> **"Raw. Unfiltered."**
Mika smirked-fingers striking keys like thunder at dawn:
A new melody rose-
not planned. Not polished.
But real.
And as it built?
Polar Opposites *answered.*
Tsukki spun-cold precision turning warm.
Raito leapt-bright joy shadowed by strength.
No running anymore.
Just *rising.*
And Shu?
He stepped back... and whispered to no one:
### "Good.
>
> The world needed more than performance.
>
### It needed truth."
🌙☀️🎶
To be continued...
