Keito was walking around the Jimushou, looking very, VERY worried. When he entered JUMP's room, everyone was engulfed in silence, because they were usually greeted by this "Britain Boy" whenever he enters their assigned room. They all stared at Keito, who is, now, on the couch,looking up at the ceiling, instead of reading a thousand-paged book. JUMP members looked at each other, signalling one another to go and check him out. Everyone kept on pointing at one another, but in reality, they really wanted the oldest one to come up and talk with Keito--that is, OBVIOUSLY, Yabu Kota.
"WHY ME?!?" he angrily whispered. JUMP members looked at each other with a blank face.
"That's because..." Inoo started. "YOU'RE THE OLDEST."
"I hate it when you guys use my age against me..." Yabu wailed. "OKAY. FINE."
"Yay~"
Yabu walked up to Keito. "Yo, buddy. What's wrong? Why the long face?"
"Oh...so, you noticed?" Keito smiled wearily.
'Who wouldn't?!' Yabu thought. "Yes. So...c'mon, and tell Older Brother what the problem is."
"Okay...it's like this..." Keito started as he told Yabu to come near. He whispered things that Yabu thought was weird, but at the end, it seems like he understood something.
"Okay," Yabu started. "This is what you're gonna do. Your mom told you to clean up your room, right? But you don't want to, 'cuz it's not that messy, and there are a lot of things you consider memorable there..."
Keito nodded.
"...okay. First, you gotta reflect. 'Is this really memorable to me?' You should ask yourself that. And then, if you think it is, then, get a box, put it in there. If it isn't memorable, OR YOU DON'T CONSIDER IT MEMORABLE, you gotta have the guts to throw it. Okay?" Yabu said.
"...hmmm...okay..." Keito worriedly replied. "I'll try..."
*the next day*
"KOTA-SAN! Thank you! Your advice worked!!" Keito happily exclaimed, running in the room. JUMP looked at Yabu, who was smiling back at Keito.
"...you shouldn't do everything THAT guy says..." Hikaru muttered before shivering. "URGH~"

"Ehh?" Yabu mumbled after seeing Keito's sulking face again. "What's wrong this time?" he gently asked.
"Yuto told me that he wants me to go to his house...well, I wanna go to his house because I wanna see his brother..." Keito replied. "But..."
"KEITO-KUN~" Yuto called, waving his hand wildly in the air. "I'll see you tomorrow ne?"
Keito worriedly smiled before turning back to Yabu. "BUT I CAN'T..." he said.
"You gotta tell him...NOW before it's too late," Yabu said. "You can do it."
"O-okay..." Keito nodded. Yabu left before Keito called Yuto. "Yuto-kun..." he said. Yuto looked and smiled at him brightly. He ran up towards Keito.
"Hai?" he asked joyfully.
"About me going to your house..." Keito stammered. Yuto looked at him excitedly. "...I...I...I can't go..."
"EEEEEEEEH?!?! NANI?" Yuto exclaimed as if the his world crumbled down on his feet. "D-demo...demo....doushite?"
"I have things to attend to...my mom made an appointment with my doctor and my dentist...so..." Keito paused. "...I'm sorry...I guess we'll have to do this some other time."
After a minute of silence, Yuto spoke up. "Oh, that's alright. It's not your fault..." he smiled. 'It's YOUR MOTHER'S FAULT!!!' he thought. "Yeah! We can always do it. Don't forget that you're always welcomed in our house."
"Thanks..."

"OH NO~" Keito continued to mutter. "WHAT DO I DO, WHAT DO I DO..." he muttered once more.
"Hm?" Yabu asked, noticing Keito's mutterings under his breath. "What's the matter?"
"My dog...PABLO. He is SOOOO FAT that it's hard for me to carry him around...." Keito whined.
"That's easy," Yabu proudly said. "Stop feeding him."
"S-stop?!" Keito stammered. Yabu nodded his head. "I-I'll try...we'll see..."
*Okamoto Residence*
It's Pablo's dinner time. Thinking about Yabu's advice, Keito tried NOT to feed Pablo. But the poor thing didn't last even for a minute of waiting for its food. It ran around like crazy. It was barking like hell was about to touch the heavens. Keito stared at the poor dog. Giving up, he placed the bowl of doggie pellets on the floor. He watched Pablo smother the food.
"....well...." Keito started. "...that was useless..."

"So, Keito...why are you still looking down?" Yabu called. "Did my advice for Pablo work?"
"UH...." Keito muttered. "No."
"Why?"
"The poor thing ran around, barking like crazy! BEGGING FOR ITS FOOD!!"
"....well...." Yabu said. "...that was useless..."
JUMP laughed after hearing the "GRAVE" news about Keito's dog.
"WHAT?!" Chinen laughed. "POOR DOG!!!"
"Yabu-kun should be charged of ANIMAL ABUSE!!!" Inoo and Daiki chorused.
"Ow, ow, ow..." Takaki and Yamada laughed, clenching their stomachs. "...my stomach~"
"NO SKY!! DON'T FALL!!!! OKAY! OKAY...I'll stop laughing now..." Hikaru grinned.
"Back to Keito...what's wrong?" Yabu asked.
"...my grandmother...is...in a critical stage..." Keito replied.
JUMP suddenly silenced down. They were all gasping.
"I...we...we're sorry..." Ryutaro apologized, bowing low.
"Yeah...we didn't know..." Daiki pouted. "...sumimasen ne~"
"Wha--?" Keito paused. "No, no. It's alright...."
"Do you know what?" Yabu asked.
"What?"
"This advice of mine would work this time. Go off work and spend some time with your Obaa-chan.."
"..REALLY? You'll let me do that?"
"OF COURSE! You're not Dai-chan, are you?" Hikaru joked.
"WHAT?!?!" Daiki exclaimed. JUMP snickered.
"Yeah. Sure. What are friends for?" Yabu smiled.
"THANKS!!"

"I really appreciate what you did for me last week, guys..." Keito smiled. "Especially Kota-san..."
"Wow..." Hikaru gasped. "For the first time in you advising career...Ko-chan...this is the FIRST time someone has thanked you for the advice!!"
"What's that supposed to mean?!" Yabu laughed.
"...demo..." Keito started again.
"..it seems like Keito-kun has a lot of problems this past few days..." Yamada remarked. Keito fidgeted.
"YEAH!" Chinen smiled. "...we do hope this is the last of your problems...FOR NOW."
"...yeah..me too..." Keito replied.
"So..what IS your problem?" Yuto and Inoo chorused.
"...my...grandfather...wants me to..."
"WANTS YOU TO...?"
"...quit showbiz."
"WHAT?!?!??!"
"WHAT DO WE DO!??!" Daiki exclaimed. "OH, GREAT YABU!!! WHAT DO WE DO!?!?!"
"I guess..." Yabu started. "...you gotta tell your grandfather that you love working in showbiz."
"...b-but.." Keito stammered.
"No buts. C'mon. We all know you love working here with us...even though Daiki plays around with the water gun and he likes to spray some of its contents on you....even though Hikaru loves running around, carrying your bag...even though Inoo begs you to teach him English..." Yabu explained. "You still love working with us. AND YOU KNOW VERY WELL THAT WE LOVE WORKING WITH YOU, TOO!"
"...Kota-san..."
"...so, you gotta tell your grandfather and explain to him that we need you," Yabu continued. "...Hey!Say!JUMP WONT'T be Hey!Say!JUMP without you, Keito-kun."

"HOW ABOUT A ROUND OF APPLAUSE!!!" Hikaru shouted. JUMP applauded.
"..okay?" Yabu smiled.
Keito smiled back. "Okay."
*the next week*
"KOTA-SAN...." Keito called. "YOUR ADVICE DIDN'T WORK!!"
JUMP gasped. Yabu's face suddenly looked like he lost a million yen.
"....just kidding."
JUMP laughed and sighed in relief.
"YABU KOTA SAVED HSJ!!!!" Yuto exclaimed.
"Now, you can truly call him the ADVICE master...just don't ask him for advice regarding pet issues..." Inoo remarked.
"...or your pet would run around like crazy...JUST LIKE WHAT HAPPENED TO PABLO," Hikaru laughed.
"Shut up, Hikaru," Yabu sternly warned.
"Okay."
