The next morning, OG woke up in a dorm that didn't feel like theirs.
The beds were softer, the air smelled cleaner, the curtains were expensive—and yet every corner felt unfamiliar. Like they were living inside someone else's dream.
Hana sat at the dining table, staring at the welcome basket like it was mocking her.
Yuki made tea but didn't drink it.
Kairi paced the living room like a caged animal.
Aiko leaned against the wall, arms crossed, eyes dull.
And Sakura…
Sakura stood near the balcony door, watching the city below.
It looked the same.
But her life didn't.
Her phone buzzed nonstop.
Messages from fans.
Messages from staff.
Messages from people she hadn't heard from in months suddenly pretending they cared.
Something was happening.
A notification flashed across her screen.
KOHARU ENTERTAINMENT — OFFICIAL LIVE ANNOUNCEMENT
Sakura's stomach tightened.
Aiko noticed immediately. "What is it?"
Sakura didn't answer.
She just turned her phone around so everyone could see.
Hana's eyes widened. "She's going live…?"
Kairi's voice was sharp. "Already?"
Yuki whispered, "We just signed yesterday…"
The live stream started.
A sleek stage appeared on screen—black and gold, with soft lights and a giant logo behind the podium.
KOHARU ENTERTAINMENT.
The chat was moving too fast to read.
People were spamming:
"WHAT IS HAPPENING??"
"IS OG DISBANDING??"
"PLEASE DON'T TELL ME THIS IS A RUMOR"
"KOHARU ENTERTAINMENT BOUGHT OG???"
"OMG OMG OMG"
Then she walked in.
Koharu.
Coffee-shade suit, hair perfectly styled, expression calm like she wasn't holding the fate of five girls in her hands. Her presence alone made the entire livestream feel colder, sharper, more serious.
She stood behind the podium, eyes scanning the crowd of cameras like she owned them.
Because she did.
She took a microphone.
"Good morning," Koharu said smoothly. "Thank you for joining this announcement."
Her voice was steady.
Professional.
Perfect.
But Sakura's heart still raced, because she could hear the hidden obsession underneath that calm tone.
Koharu continued, "Recently, there has been confusion and speculation regarding the status of OG."
The chat exploded.
Kairi muttered, "Confusion? You literally bought us."
Aiko's eyes stayed locked on the screen, her face unreadable.
Koharu lifted a folder.
"I want to make one thing clear," she said. "OG is not disbanding."
The words hit like thunder.
Hana gasped and covered her mouth.
Yuki's eyes filled with tears instantly.
Even Kairi stopped pacing.
For a second… it felt like oxygen returned to the room.
Koharu's gaze sharpened slightly.
"OG is now officially under Koharu Entertainment," she announced.
The internet went insane.
"NO WAY???"
"SHE REALLY BOUGHT THEM???"
"THIS IS SO CRAZY"
"OG COMEBACK PLEASE"
"SAVE THEM PLEASE"
"ARE THEY OKAY??"
Koharu raised her hand slightly, and the room quieted.
Her expression softened—just a little.
"And I will personally ensure that OG receives the support they deserve."
Sakura's fingers curled around her phone.
Support? she thought bitterly.
Or ownership?
Koharu looked straight into the camera.
"OG will be making a comeback soon."
The moment those words left her mouth, the world erupted.
The chat became unreadable.
Fans were screaming in text.
Hashtags started trending instantly.
Even news outlets began posting updates before the livestream ended.
Hana's voice trembled. "A comeback…"
Yuki whispered, "We're… really coming back."
Aiko's face didn't change.
But her eyes flickered with something complicated.
Hope… mixed with fear.
Koharu continued speaking, voice calm but powerful.
"This comeback will not be small," she said. "It will not be rushed. It will not be treated as a desperate attempt."
She paused, then added:
"It will be a statement."
A statement.
A warning.
A promise.
Sakura's stomach twisted.
Koharu's lips curved slightly—not quite a smile, but something close.
"We will release official teasers within the next two weeks," she announced. "And OG will begin preparations immediately."
The camera flashed.
Reporters shouted questions.
"Is it true OG was sold because of financial issues?"
"Will OG members have creative freedom?"
"Did OG agree to this transfer?"
"Are you personally involved with member Sakura?"
At that last question, Koharu's eyes flickered.
Just for a second.
A second too long.
Sakura felt her blood run cold.
Koharu didn't answer it.
Instead, she smiled politely.
"Thank you for your concern," she said smoothly. "Please focus on OG's music. That is what matters."
But Sakura knew.
Koharu avoided it because the truth wasn't something she could say out loud.
Koharu ended the livestream with one final sentence:
"OG will rise again."
The screen went black.
For a moment, no one in the dorm spoke.
The announcement echoed in their minds like a siren.
A comeback.
A new beginning.
A second chance.
But at what cost?
Kairi finally broke the silence.
"She didn't even ask us," she said bitterly.
Aiko's voice was low. "She never asks."
Hana looked at Sakura, eyes shaking. "Sakura… what are we supposed to do now?"
Sakura swallowed hard.
She looked down at her hands.
The same hands that signed the contract.
The same hands that once held trophies with pride.
Now they felt like chains.
"We do the comeback," Sakura whispered.
Aiko's head snapped up. "Sakura—"
Sakura looked at them, eyes full of exhaustion and determination.
"We do the comeback," she repeated. "We survive."
Her voice cracked slightly.
"Then we find a way out."
Yuki nodded slowly, tears falling. "Together."
Hana wiped her face. "Together."
Kairi exhaled sharply. "Fine."
Aiko didn't speak at first.
Then she looked at Sakura.
Her eyes weren't angry now.
They were worried.
Because she could see it too—
Sakura wasn't just doing a comeback.
She was stepping back into Koharu's world.
And this time…
Koharu had the power to make OG shine.
Or crush them completely.
Outside the dorm, the internet was celebrating.
Fans were screaming with happiness.
The world was calling it a miracle comeback.
But inside the dorm…
OG knew the truth.
This comeback wasn't a gift.
It was a deal.
And Sakura was the price.
