29 Moving (1/2)

After that night's decisions, Aria and Aika had agreed that they would move in together in an apartment so that they could truly work their way up on their own. They talked it through a little, Aria was going to use her money to buy it and transport for them. She had plenty to get a nice apartment for the two of them and Aika would pay her back later on since she had nothing of her own. Aika especially didn't want to rely on her parents in the slightest as she felt like achieving something wouldn't matter if she did it by using her parents work and money.

All her life, she'd felt like everything she accomplished was only because of her parents wealth and power. Even if it ended in a disaster, they were both fully committed to reaching the top on their own or not reaching the top at all.

Only one week after graduating, they were ready to move into their new home.

”Are you girls sure?” Aika's mother looked at the two girls worriedly, she felt they'd rushed into the decision and were risking their futures on a gamble.

Looking each other in the eyes, they nodded and replied in sync, ”Yes!”

Sighing, Yuna nodded in understanding and looked over at Max as he moved items around the girls new apartment. She had expected something like this to happen ever since she discovered Aika's interests in idols when she was young, but she really had wished she was wrong. Both her and max had built successful companies from nothing back before they met, and she was worried her precious little baby would suffer the same way she had.

And on top of that, she was worried for Aria. Her daughter's best friend had just been disowned by her own family and clearly wasn't in a place to be making such a huge decision. On top of that, she was taking on an extremely hard role, trying to build a company in a massive industry at such a young age.

She wasn't worried that Aria wouldn't be able to handle the technical aspect, the girl's test scores from Maple-leaf had proven that wasn't a concern, but she was terrified all the more experienced executives would take advantage of such a young girl.

”Darlings!~” Max came running over and grabbed Yuna and Aika in a tight hug, spinning around a little bit. ”I'm going to miss you, Aika..”

Aika laughed when she saw her dad's pouting face and pushed him away. ”I'll still be in B City”

”But you won't be our daughter publicly, your Dad is so sad...”
