"..i already got confirmation from 5 different lab,Riku-kun actually has weak heart on stage 2 with it will make Riku-kun get tired easily and his breathing will be hard for him,about his brain, there's some illness call Narcolepsy,"said doctor.

Miyou and Nishi look at each other.

"Please tell us the explanation about that doctor,"said the parent as they curious with odd illness or it can be called as they never heard that illness before.

"Narcolepsy is a neurological disorder that affects your ability to wake and sleep. People with narcolepsy have excessive, uncontrollable daytime sleepiness. They may also suddenly fall asleep at any time, during any type of activity.In a typical sleep cycle, we enter the early stages of sleep, then the deeper stages, and finally (after about 90 minutes) rapid eye movement (REM) sleep. People with narcolepsy go into REM sleep almost immediately in the sleep cycle and sometimes while they're awake.But for Riku-kun's case a little bit serious.He still 8 years old,it might be 49% that he will lost his memory from before he collapse.I want to test that but since Riku-kun excited for the discharge,i will let you handle him.The symptoms of it is hard to predict because Riku-kun will be collapse on anytime without warning."said doctor.

"But how can my dear son can get that type of illness..when he just awake from long coma??"Miyou ask.

"..if it accordingly by science, Riku-kun's brain still not properly working since he has experience in comatose.So the brain will immediately stop and making Riku-kun's whole body stop too.In other reason,i can stay,Riku-kun is having hard time without anyone know about it...but this illness really doesn't have cure.It's depends on Riku-kun's condition."said doctor.

Miyou a little bit disappointed afte hearing Riku are having another hard time again after sleep to long.

"..so.. there's no Medicine for it?.."Nishi ask.

"I can't give that yet because Riku-kun still kid plus it's early stage for this time.For this time,just keep eye on him and don't let him do something heavy work."said Doctor.

"...It's hard to say...but dear,please take care of Riku...because.."Miyou tell Tenn everything because Tenn deserve to know Riku's condition right now.Tenn actually shock with everything because it's different should be happening from before.

"I won't give up on Riku! i will make sure Riku will be healthy like other kid do.I will make sure that Riku will be happy like everyone did.."said Tenn.

Then let me start.First of all,like we already know, our school will have sport and festival before our summer holiday start right.This is about Class 1-B,Ueyonami Yaitako or his famous name as Tako because of he always be top student.Mostly he defeat Tenn at student year 1 ranking but since Riku just taking new exam,he was the top student and his grade are better than Tako."said Illiah.

"Wahh Rikkun is genius! right Iorin?"said Tamaki as he was impress after heard that.As former friend of Riku,they already know Riku is genius and hard working but he just being naive because he rarely feel the outside life.

"yes, congratulations Nanase-san."said Iori.Riku were blank as he don't know anything about student ranking.

"When did i enter the exam?"Riku ask.

"Riku,do you remember the trial test for us before?? That actually show that you can be part of Top student.But Illiah,what wrong with that brats?As long as Riku didn't cheat? Is this something you want to discuss here?"said Retsukasa Kuriyama.

"Yes, it's is.We all know Class B got first place on festival ceremony of Year 1 right? "Said Illiah.

"Do you mean by working together with class at the our FIRST ceremony?Yeah?"said Ritsu.

"Okay yeah actually,all of us in this class been together since kindergarten right? Except for Riku.We all know Tako were born with silver spoon and were threat as the future son to handle their family business.His family always force Tako to be the perfect student at school in study, successful in any event and have to grant everything his parent ask."said Illiah.

"Okay,we already know about that,please on the point Illiah."said Nanami.

"Okay,sorry, it's just a little word for Riku to know.Well today,i accidentally overheard Tako and the other about cheating on sport day.They want to eliminate us and make Riku join the sport day.Their attention to do that for making Riku absent for the exam before summer."said Illiah meanwhile Tenn were hold himself from anger.

"No,i didn't know...i just answer since Tenn-nii already teach me before the school start...but i never know about my ranking too."said Riku.

"That's mean,they will use a dirty play at the sport event right?"said Futaka.

"Absolutely we can see it from what Illiah-san said.We have to te-"said Sarah but got cut by Tenn.

"Tell teacher about it?A person like Tako the son of rich family can do everything to make the teacher shut up and cover everything for him."said Tenn.

"I guess i know what Tenn mean,use the money to shut them.But i believe, there's someone will not fallen into it"said Sarah.

"No,we can't believe in anyone.. since we already together here,we have to make sure,Riku is our top priority."said Futaka.

"I will not let them take over everything.We need to make him learn about manner."said Nanami.

"..but guys,i actually want to take part in sports.."said Riku.Everyone include idolish7 and trigger look at Riku.

"Riku,your condition is not suit for the things like this.You don't want to make me and your classmates worry about you right?.."said Tenn while lay his hand on Riku's shoulder.

"It's fine Tenn,i know what kind of sport that Riku can take a part.And it's will just use a little energy for it..but we will make sure to get Riku back safely."said Futaka.

"See!! Tenn-nii,please... I don't want to sit down and can't do anything.My life won't be easy if I can't do anything right now.."said Riku.

"Riku-kun will be fine,K- Tenn-kun,you should believe in Riku-kun.Plus, everyone here has Faith at him too.You guys always stay together no matter what.That was the real friendship called."said Sougo.

Tenn hesitate because he know Riku's condition is not stable.He just afraid of losing him again.

"Tenn,if you love Nanase,you want to do everything for Nanase right? You can't stop everything that Nanase want do.He is human."said Gaku.

Tenn still can't decide because he really really worry at Riku's condition.In the same time,he want to make Riku happy and don't want to do the same thing like the past.He take a deep breath and about to tell them.

"..if that what Riku want,i will allow it."everyone were smiling after Tenn said that but,"but,with 1 condition."Tenn add."let me know first before Riku participate the activities and i will decide for him if it suit for his condition or no"said Tenn.

"Thank you Tenn-nii!! I know you always the best!!"said Riku while smiling.

They agree with Tenn's condition and glad that Riku can get the chance to feel the day.

"Then how about Tako's plan to shut us?"Ritsu ask.

"Well that, let's discuss and senpai can join us to,the sport festival are open for everyone.So you guys can join us at anytime to cheer our class."said Futaka.Yamato,Gaku and the other nodded and agree to listen their plan.

On the next day,Riku open his eyes and found out he was at his bed.He trying to remember since when he at his own room?Did he fell asleep or other things happen without he realizes?He just staring the ceiling and try to get his sense back.

Tenn notice that Riku already awake.

"Good morning Riku,"said Tenn.Riku's eyes directly looking at Tenn and smile.Tenn help Riku sit.

"Okay,before i told you everything,did you feel any pain at somewhere in you body?"Tenn ask.

"No, I just feeling..light head..as i want to remember what happen yesterday..but it's getting worst."said Riku.

"Then, don't force yourself..just relax first and try to do the practice breathe to calm down yourself"said Tenn.Riku nodded and follow Tenn's instructions."are you okay now? Here take your medicine first"said Tenn as he hand Riku's medicine.

"Remember,i always here.Don't be afraid,okay?"said Tenn while caressing Riku's back.Tenn show the video that been recorded yesterday.It was Tenn and Nishi's plan to make Riku understand his disease.Nishi already set the hidden camera as evidence to Riku.Maybe it will be hurting Riku's heart for awhile like Tenn already tell his parent about it.The chance to make Riku disappointed really high but in the same time,they don't want to hide it from Riku forever.

Riku watch the video and still can't remember.The last memory he remembers is 3 hour before he get his narcolepsy.That's mean,Riku might lost his memory in 3 hours before the event.

"..is this serious.."Riku ask.

"It's not serious Riku, Believe in me,this is not serious illness.It just part of the effect after you been coma for so long.But you can use camera or always write something at your diary.So you can be prepare anything happen if this happens like this again on next time."said Tenn.Tenn actually nervous and afraid if Riku couldn't accept it.Tenn explain about Riku's condition and what he experience right now.
