chapter sixteen ; arima kana
y/n's mouth was now agape as when she entered the practice room they were now singing with kana as the center.
" aren't like seconds ago she refused?? " y/n asked confused tilting her head, she was just taking a quick break because they still kept pursuing kana and it was getting on her nerves.
" wow, you saw it too, right?? that was great, wasn't it? " ruby asked grabbing my hands that made me smile and pat her head.
" we're really digging kana as our center! " mem-cho said which made y/n nod in agreement.
" i guess that settles for the line-up. " y/n said smiling innocently.
" i see you've already discussed this through. " miyako suddenly appeared.
miyako brings back pieyon to help the group prepare for their performance at the japan idol festival.
" no way. goodbye gu— "
" not so fast, bae. " ruby said darkly which made y/n gulp and was now dragging y/n with her.
" isn't she being harsh? " mem-cho asked kana.
" get used to it. " kana said deadpan.
pieyon trains the girls to build their stamina while planning their choreography for the performance. y/n caught her breath in a corner of the room, she was now fake punching the wall cursing aqua inside her head for this awful training.
" oh, right. " y/n mumbled as she realized it was time for that sweet scene of kana and aqua and sighed before standing up and getting to their sleeping room. instead of sulking she just chooses to just sleep.
the next passing days of training and preparing for the said day, y/n was now sitting on the sofa with a headset on and playing her guitar, singing some parts in a low voice while the others were now resting.
scribbling in the notebook where the chords should be long or short. y/n groaned and put her headset down to her neck and hummed the tone to herself still cursing inside out because of the out-of-tune.
" i'm gonna jump out if this still doesn't become in the right tune. " y/n grumbled to herself.
this continued and finally, she got it right but of course, hours had passed that made her feel sleepy, and fell asleep at the table. it could be seen that her hands were still around the guitar in a very protective stance while her head was resting on the table.
" hah, very hopeless. " aqua then suddenly appeared who was drinking an energy drink and looked like just removed his mask asked pieyon.
he sat next to y/n quietly and removed some strands of her hair away from its face. he hummed and just stood up, putting a blanket over her before exiting the room.
on the day of the jif, b-komachi heads to the event prepared.
" it's finally time for the japan idol festival! " ruby cheered.
" out of 10 festival stages, we're on the star stage. there are quite a lot of underground idol groups on this one. "
" i wish we could've been on the main stage..." mem-cho mentioned.
as the two continued to speak with one another, y/n and kana were the opposite.
they were quiet, kana was rather tired as y/n watched her from a distance.
when kana was about to rest in the dressing room, miyako mentioned, " not that way. "
" you can use only use the dressing room by the stage just before your turn to perform. " miyako mentioned.
" is that so? " kana asked.
" then where do we change...? " ruby asked. with this question, miyako takes them to a packed dressing room, where many other underground idol groups fight for space as they prepare for their performances.
" could you move your study to the side a little? "
" ah! does anyone have some eyeliner!? "
" what the heck is this hell hole...? " kana asked.
" the dressing room, can't you see? " miyako replied, making y/n look around with a what the hell look.
" but it's very crowded in here...? " y/n said, rather confused.
" this is normal for musical festivals with lots of acts. " miyako answered and explained the place making the members nod.
as the members got comfortable and got their ways, y/n sat at a nearby corner hugged her guitar near her, and put headsets on to listen to their lineup. it was her habit even before, in her past life. minutes passed as y/n felt a light tap and saw mem-cho, pointing at something.
y/n blinked and removed her headset to understand what she was saying and as she looked at what she was pointing she saw kana and ruby. it was that time when kana admitted she was more nervous because she did not want ruby and mem-cho to experience the failure she went through.
y/n smiled thankfully to mem-cho and stood up laying her guitar on the side for a while and approached them.
" it's alright, kana, don't worry. " y/n said.
" she's right! you're cute and you work hard. just a typical rookie idol... " ruby added. " of course, you will fail! just enjoy the challenges! "
" just be you. " y/n added smiling and patting her head.
" look! it's our turn to change! " ruby chirped grabbing both y/n and kana's wrists.
" oof, miyako-san, please look out for my guitar. " y/n called out while being dragged by ruby.
" i will, don't worry. "
the four changed their on-stage clothes, as y/n was done changing she looked around, " oh, wait. " y/n mentioned.
" do you forget something? " ruby asked, y/n nodded.
" don't worry it'll be quick. " she reassured and nodded making y/n turn around and look around and pick a lightstick and hide it before going back.
as y/n came back, she put the strap of her guitar over her neck and adjusted it before nodding at them.
" let's do this. "
