Miyuki was expecting Mei to start a fight with Rei eventually. He’d known that man since they were kids, and Mei hadn’t ever dealt with anything subtly. So he wasn’t surprised when Zono woke him up, pounding on his door, just incredibly startled. He was so startled, in fact, that he forgot his legs were wrapped up in his blanket and ate the floor.

Zono stopped momentarily, following the thud of Miyuki hitting the floor, before resuming his rattling after Miyuki groaned in pain.

“Hang on!”

“The Alliance people are fighting and suits is calling for you.”

Miyuki sighed before muttering, “Damn it, Mei,” under his breath.

He can’t imagine he looked very imposing, entering the cargo bay completely disheveled and yawning.

Nabe was standing between Mei and Rei, while Kuramochi was left dual wielding against two of Mei’s men while the third tried to calm them down. He caught sight of the junior trio hiding behind some crates. Honestly he was surprised no one's been punched yet.

“Mei, sit down.”

The man whipped around and glared at Miyuki. His two entourage members currently in a standoff with Kuramochi briefly let their eyes flick over to him, and the third man dropped his guard a bit too much. Mei’s red haired friend took the chance to turn his gun on Miyuki who drew his pistol in retaliation.

“But-”

“And call off your dogs or I’ll send you out into the vacuum.”

Mei’s dark skinned companion snickered and the redhead sneered at the threat, but they both looked past Kuramochi to Mei awaiting orders. Mei frowned, his brows furrowed as he considered his options. He looked between Miyuki and Rei a few times before ultimately sighing and waving dismissively at his men. They slowly lowered their weapons, and the fourth companion audibly breathed a sigh of relief.

The lowering of weapons didn’t mark the end of this altercation though.

“You said that we wouldn’t run into any Alliance,” Mei complained, marching up to Miyuki. Zono stepped between them. “There’s another Alliance member on the ship!”

“There’s actually three Alliance members on the ship, including you, surprise.”

“Miyuki,” Chris warned, pulling everyone’s attention up to the hanging paths where he was sitting with a rifle pointed at Rei.

“Hello again, Chris,” she said, raising her hands in surrender. “How’s your shoulder?”

“It’s been better.”

“Let’s just all put the guns down,” Nabe pushed, still standing between Mei and Rei. “We don’t want anyone to get shot.” He turned towards where the junior trio was hiding and called them out.

“Right,” Miyuki sighed, “where to start?”

“Maybe with the truth?” Kuramochi raised his voice in irritation.

“In my defense, I haven’t intentionally lied to anyone and it’s not like I’ve kept anything important secret.”

“We’re ferrying three Alliance members, Miyuki, that’s kind of a big deal.”

He looked around. Rei gave him a small nod, and Mei just rolled his eyes with a shrug. The silent vote was one for honesty, one for whatever he saw fit, and as his eyes met Haruichi’s– or at least where his eyes were hidden– the boy shook his head. Two to two, thanks Mei.

“We don’t ask questions.”

“That’s it,” Zono growled, “this is a muttany now.”

He turned around and grabbed Miyuki by his collar, lifting him so that his feet scraped helplessly at the ground. Someone yelled at him to put the Captain down, Kuramochi wrapped an arm around Nabe’s chest to keep him from stopping him, and guns were raised once more. Miyuki dropped his gun on instinct and grabbed at Zono’s hands, but he didn’t try to pry them off.

“Are you turning us in? Is that what this is?” Zono yelled.

“Of course not.”

“Then what is going on?”

A loud siren sound echoed through the cargo bay.

“Alliance check point,” Chris called before rushing off to the cockpit.

Zono dropped Miyuki with a warning that this would be picked up later, before he backed off so that Kuramochi could join Chris in the cockpit.

“One, two, three,” Miyuki said, pointing at Mei, Rei, and Haruichi, “into the cargo hold.”

He made his way over to a specific floor panel– Mei and Rei following quickly and without question while Haruichi seemed a bit more unsure– and lifted it to reveal a small hold. Rei dropped down first, followed by Mei who grumbled about the dirt, followed by Haruichi who sent a worried look back to his friends.

“Relax, they’ll be fine.”

Once the panel was closed again he approached the bay door just in time to watch The Challenger dock for inspection. He gave the bay a once over before opening the ship's ramp.

The sudden bright light that washed in from the flood lights made everyone wince and shield their eyes. Nabe made his way over to Sawamura and Furuya and quietly explained what was about to happen, reminding them to say nothing about the people hidden below. They could barely hear him over the loud whirring of the ramp, but they still nodded and got out their identifications. He was a bit surprised by how prepared they seemed.

Below the floor, Haruichi held his breath as the floor rattled and light streamed into the little hold. Rei placed a reassuring hand on his shoulder. Mei kept to himself, fiddling with his blazer sleeve and watching above them intently.

“Good evening officers, how can we help you?”

“You the captain?”

“Yes sir,” Miyuki met them at the very top of the ramp and gave them a small stack of folded papers. “Should all be in order. We’re just taking these people to Athens.”

The officer looked over the papers, nodding to himself, then waved in some more people.

“Check the passenger’s I.Ds,” there was a loud squeak as Chris and Kuramochi re-entered the cargo bay, “and purpose for their trip.” After addressing his men, he turned back to Miyuki. “Looks to be in order, this is a Fire-fly class transport, is it not?”

“Yes, sir.”

“Show me the cargo hold?”

Beneath the floor, the three hidden passengers held their breaths and stood as still as possible as if it would allow them to disappear. In the bay, the rest of the passengers had similar reactions. Unfortunately, Sawmaura’s fear was less than subtle.

The officer speaking with him and Furuya raised a brow in suspicion.

“Is everything okay?” He asked, looking back to Miyuki and his boss.

“It’s his first time traveling,” Furuya mumbled, clearly half asleep, beating Sawamura to an answer. “He’s worried there might be something illegal down there.”

Nabe had to resist face palming, especially when Sawamura responded.

“You don’t think there’s anything like that down there, oh no, what about Haruichi?!”

Everyone had to resist whipping around and yelling at Sawamura for his outburst. The main officer stopped following Miyuki and re-opened the papers to look them over for this new person. In the hold, Mei nearly had to physically bite his tongue while Haruichi rubbed the bridge of his nose.

Chris and Kuramochi’s expressions visibly soured, and Kuramochi prepared to rush back up to the cockpit to get them out of there.

“I don’t see a Haruichi on the passenger list.”

“No sir, Haruichi is a friend of theirs from back home. Loud mouth over there is just worried about what he’d think if they got held up here if we turned out to be smugglers,” Miyuki laughed.

The officer nodded and continued following Miyuki, who knelt down and opened a large cargo hold with everyone’s luggage.

“Haruichi… Kominato?”

Miyuki, Chris, and Kuramochi stiffened almost imperceptibly.

“No idea.”

“Well, thank you for your cooperation.” The officer returned Miyuki’s papers to him and joined his men back on the ramp. “Good luck with the rest of your journey.”

“Thank you sir.”

Everyone was silent until they’d left alliance airspace, still shaken from their close call.

That silence was only broken by the loud clatter of Mei slamming the small holds door open. He pulled himself up, ignoring his dark haired companion who rushed over to help him, and pointed accusingly at Sawamura.

“Would it kill you to think before you speak?!”

“Mei, settle down.”

“No I will not settle down, he almost got us caught!”

“Narumiya-san,” Haruichi pleaded.

“And you,” Mei turned around and jabbed his finger into Haruichi’s chest, “I knew you looked familiar. You’re that genius medical student with the runaway brother!”

Haruichi’s lips pressed into a thin line as he turned his head away.

“And you,” he pointed at Rei who was being helped out of the hold by, “Itsuki stop helping the enemy! She’s an Alliance officer.”

“Who was just hiding from them, Mei-san, if she wanted she would have turned as all in at that check point.”

Itsuki sighed. Mei opened and closed his mouth a few times, futilely searching for words, before growling and turning to Miyuki.

“Kazuya! Answers, now!”

Miyuki could only sigh in resignation at being caught.

“Alright, I knew.”

The room erupts into angry shouts as even Nabe turns against him with distrust. He isn’t sure why, but it stings a bit. Even though he knows he brought this on himself.

“Why didn’t you tell us? we’re your crew!” Kuramochi yelled.

“Because I didn’t need you all looking over your shoulder every two seconds, I was going to tell you all before we hit the check point I just… fell asleep.”

“Without telling us important, life saving information?!” Zono bellowed.

“Hey, the pain killers that you insist I take are really fucking strong!”

“That’s enough!” Chris cuts in before anyone can respond to Miyuki. “Miyuki,” the disappointment in Chris’ voice made the captain’s stomach roll, “I won’t say you made the wrong choice, but I hope you have a plan to fix it.”

Kuramochi rolled his eyes and started stomping back to the cockpit. “Fuck shore leave,” he says, just before he slips through the door, “find yourself a new pilot.”

rei's personal background

2000.12.31 ->

Takashima Reiko or Kim Rina, born 2000.12.3, into a world of hardships, faced immense challenges from the outset. Born in sanya, tokyo, to her impoverished single mother, who'd, sadly, lacked the resources and emotional capacity to care for her. Rei's early years were marked by neglect and abandonment. However, her life took an turn when she was put up for adoption at the early age of two. Rei's adoption marked the turning point in her life, providing her with an opportunity to overcome the difficulties she faced in her early years. She was fortunate enough to be placed in a loving and supportive family who recognized her potential and nurtured her talents. This stable environment allowed her to grow and thrive, despite the hardships she had endured.

pre-debut ->

Growing up in a household with access to internet, she was exposed to various musical genres and languages, which influenced her artistic inclinations. Reiko's family recognized her talent from a young age, providing her with the necessary support to pursue her dreams. Her parents enrolled her in vocal and dance lessons, sharpening her skills and fueling her determination to succeed in the highly competitive entertainment industry.

At the age of 10, she'd caught the attention of talent scouts from SM Entertainment, one of South Korea's most prestigious entertainment agencies. during the 2011 global auditions. The opportunity to train under SM Entertainment was undoubtedly exciting for Reiko, who saw it as a way to achieving her dreams. She relocated to Seoul, leaving behind her family and friends, to intense training along with other artist. Having joined the agency at such a young age, the training was challenging, and she sadly had to leave the entertainment,and move back home , a result of the hard training on her at just age 13.

About a year later,when Reiko had joined Pledis Entertainment, she faced the challenge of adapting to a new environment and settling herself among a different group of individuals. However, her talent and quickly caught the attention of fellow trainees and staff members. This can be acredit to her previous experience at SM Entertainment, which provided her with a foundation.

debut->

Reiko's journey within Seventeen began with her first meeting with the members at the young age of 14. Though she was shy at first, her attitude allowed her to blend into the group despite being the only female member.

Now that we've peaked into rei's personal background, it's hopeful that you have an understanding of her.
