"I feel like I'm getting married to a stranger." Rio uttered, not realizing that her fiancé was standing at the door, hearing every word she just said.
"Do I really seem that indifferent to you?" Ryosuke spoke out, surprising both Rio and Amu. Immediately, they turned towards the direction of the balcony and saw Ryosuke enter the room with Daiki trailing not too far after.
"Both of you were here this entire time?" Amu asked.
Daiki nodded. "We were just chatting out on the balcony. We aren't allowed to leave afterall, remember?" He began to chuckle but stopped soon after realized that no one else laughed along.
Daiki glanced at the pictures, exaggerated a sigh then walked over to both of the girls. In an instant, he threw all of the pictures into a pot. He then shuffled through the cabinets before finally finding some matches and after a couple of strikes, he set fire to the stack of pictures surprising everyone else in the room.
"Daiki, wait!" Amu exclaimed, attempting to reach for the pot. However, all of her efforts went to waste since Daiki wouldn't let her anywhere near it.
"It's alright!" He replied. "It's just some old photos that we don't care about anyways."
"Dai-chan, that's not what she means-" Rio panicked next as the air around them began to cloud with smoke.
"Maa. Don't worry too much! It's just a couple of phot-" The older boy began again, cutting Rio off to explain his thoughts.
"YOU. FREAKING. IDIOT." Ryosuke yelled last, whacking the older boy on the head before pushing him aside. "You're going to set off the fire alar-"
Before Ryosuke was able to finish his sentence, a high-pitched blaring sound echoed throughout the entire hotel. To take the extremity up another level, the water sprinklers suddenly and soaked everyone in the process.
"Oh..." Daiki nervously chuckled. "My bad..." He said as the other three sighed in exhaustion.

In less than 24 hours, the four of them were forced to transfer to an alternate hotel but the process was a lot more difficult this time. Although Daiki had confessed to accidentally setting off the sprinkler, many hotel owners believed that their own hotels will burn down. Afterall, these four seem to catch fire whereever they go.
"Why do things always happen to the two of you specifically? No one else in JUMP gets into trouble as much as you two" Their manager, Tanaka, commented after everyone had entered their new suite.
"But he started it this time!" Ryosuke pointed at Daiki.
"At least the pictures are gone for good now!" The latter playfully rolled his eyes.
"Well, we could've... I don't know... tossed them away like a normal human being?"
"I am normal, so normal in fact that I even prefer eating basic foods like cheeseburgers without the cheese!"
"So.. hamburgers?" Ryosuke commented.
"No, cheeseburgers without cheese. Hamburgers can have chesse on it!"
Silence filled the room and Tanaka faked a cough before grabbing his belongings. "Good luck everyone." Was all he said before closing the door behind him.
Without their manager present, awkwardness began to fill the room again and no one spoke a word for a couple of minutes. Instead, everyone decided to familiarize themselves with the hotel suite by walking in circles.
After a while, however, Amu grew tired of the silence. Everyone was obviously trying to find ways to start the conversation but doing so only made things more awkward. In the end, she decided to finally speak up. "So uhm... about those pictures.."
"Tanaka brought them over." Ryosuke immediately answered as if he had been rehearsing his explanation over and over again in his mind. "It seemed like Satoko and Mayu wanted a fresh start so they gave up all of their pictures. We didn't have a chance to discard them before you girls noticed it."
Rio sighed. "I'm sorry, Ryosuke." She suddenly blurted. "For everything I've said."
Ryosuke shook his head. "If I were you, I would've felt the same way. I'm the one who should be sorry. I could've handled it better but I didn't."
Daiki and Amu exchanged glances before leaving the living room to give the couple some privacy. "We're going to unpack our stuff in our bedroom." Daiki told them before closing the door.
"I understand why you might want to keep a couple of things to yourself. I don't think it's necessary to tell me every little thing." Rio chuckled nervously. "I don't want to seem like the crazy type of girlfriend who wants to know everything."
"But you're not." Ryosuke answered before walking up to his fiancée. Before she was able to question his actions, he placed his hand behind her neck and pulled her lips closer to his. After sharing a long kiss followed by a couple of sma
