Chapter 16
"Did something happen to him?", you asked as you were getting concerned but guilty at the same time since it felt like you said something he may not wanted to hear.
You were used to most kinds of negotiations and discussions, as you were in the idol industry for long time, and you knew that not everything was so happy-go-lucky as most people thought it was.
"I'm not sure... I'll go check up on him.", Yamato said as he stood up.
"I will go with you.", you also stood up and got a nod from Yamato as you both went towards Sogo's room.
After you and Yamato left the room, Gaku smoothly created a conversation with the others, leaving Sogo running off as an elephant in the room.
Meanwhile, you and Yamato was standing in front of Sogo's door, and you knocked three times in a rhythmic pattern, but sadly, there was no answer from the other side.
(Hello from the other side~~~~ I have problems)
"Sogo-san? Are you okay? Did I say something wrong? You can tell me, anything. I don't mean to force you though.", you exclaimed as you knocked on his door, trying to maybe calm him down and talk to him.
After a few seconds of waiting, the white coloured, wooden door opened, showing a Sogo with a lesser pale face from before, with an apologetic look.
"I'm sorry for running off like that... I will tell you about my relation with the INS manager.", he said with a serious look plastered on his face, as he bowed down around 45 degree to apologise in the usual Japanese way.
"I-it's fine! I understand that this can be a fragile subject for you and I should also apologise bringing it up.", you apologised, a part of you feeling guilty, another part feeling that you and Gaku were lucky to find a clue.
"Now, now. Let's go back to everybody and hear your mysterious story that you have there, Sogo-kun!", Yamato said as he patted the purple-haired man's shoulder and walked next to him to where everybody else was.
Sogo sat down on the sofa where he was sitting previously, as everybody looked at him, waiting for something to come out of his mouth. (Ahem, words, not things...)
"My-... my Uncle was the previous head manager of the INS company before he passed away and the only person the company could go to was his Brother, who was my Father. My Father took idols and music entertainment was just some stupid thing, however, he realised that he was earning a lot of money with the INS company, so he decided to keep it. It's shocking how he would have disappeared... but if he has disappeared, meaning he hid somewhere himself, I think I know where he would be.", Sogo said with confidence as he finished his sentence with a short sigh.
Everyone on the room looked surprised. Seemed like they didn't know this purple-haired man standing in front of them was the Son of famous and popular head manager of INS.
"Do you mind telling us where you think he is?", Gaku started speaking, hiding his super surprised expression behind his charismatic face.
"He should most probably be near the zero arena...", Sogo tried to think hard where his Father would be, all his life knowing him.
You looked at a Gaku and he gave you a nod telling you that two of you should most probably go there quicker and try negotiating with the manager to come back if he was actually there.
You stood up gesturing Gaku to do the same, as you two thanked Sogo and the others, and apologised for disturbing them.
They were quite chill with everything, and they even told you that if you needed any help, you knew that you could go to them.
You thanked them a lot, especially to Sogo, and he asked you and Gaku for your autographs, which you gladly signed.
You and Gaku dashed to the part where the water was surrounding the arena where the legendary idol, Zero performed at, and you could see a figure of a man leaning against the railing which went around the water to keep out anyone from falling in.
"Excuse me!", I shouted at the man and he looked shocked and was about to run away but Gaku was able to grab hold of his arm before he could.
"Are you the head manager of INS?", Gaku asked as his grip was still on the man's arm but his other hand was somehow handsomely pulling his front hair back to get all the sweat from all the running off.
"I don't know what you're talking about-!", he exclaimed as he looked to the other way.
Oh, you didn't know how the INS head manager was supposed to look like.
Oh well, what is Google for then?
You took out your phone from the handbag, and you searched, 'INS manager face' and oh, it shows the same image as the man standing in front of me. Also you could confirm it as you saw the purple-hair, a bit darker, most probably because he was a bit older.
"You can't lie, my dude. Don't forget that your face is on the internet as well.", you said as you pushed your hair back and put one of your hand on you hips to give sass. Lol
"Ugh, fine. What do you want from me, and mostly, how the hell did you find me at the first place?", he confessed but asked two questions at a time.
"Your Son told us that you would most probably be here and everybody needs you back at the office or else the schedule will be messed up and the company will be very busy solving the problems that you made!", Gaku shouted but not too loud, trying to make the man infront of him know what trouble he caused for the own company that he owns.
The head manager released a big sigh as he said, "I apologise, I didn't plan to cause trouble, but I just-I just needed a small break...".
"Haha, it's fine if you just needed a break, just don't suddenly disappear into thin air and make everyone troubled.", you chuckled as his reason was just to take a break and nothing else.
Well, anybody pretty sure knows he's busy with a packed schedule and maybe he needed a short break... You hope the office will understand that when he goes back.
You and Gaku raised your hands and did the victory hi-five!
"Case solved!"
A/n: btw this is not a Detective story :) I just wanted to spice things up a little
