Chapter 18: The Unusual
“Then you said about fans. Do you think if until that happens, fans can protect ? Can they accept the fact that their idol is on sale ? I don't think so. So please do not force me too much for something I do not want, because I myself have to save myself from these problems.” said Ava calmly and then turned away from before Keegan.
According to him who has experienced many things, it makes no sense to go into a hole that is clearly a tiger hole. It is better to stand on the edge of the hole and not enter.
So his decision not to get too involved deep in the entertainment industry has been set a long time ago and will not change.
Meanwhile, Keegan herself who heard Ava uncover what was in the industry and asked her not to interfere too much could only fall silent. He could not deny the fact that it did exist and he could not stop it from happening.
Ava who finally managed to escape from Keegan returned to the dorm quickly. Ava's roommates are all still not getting ready for bed and are still seen talking about what they want to do for tomorrow. Ava did not join in on this conversation and instead went to take a shower.
When she returned from the bath, Ava's roommates finally asked.
“Have you thought about what you want to do for tomorrow ?” asked Clarence who saw Ava had finished her bath and was dressed in pajamas.
Ava was still the one hanging the towel still for a while while thinking. “Somehow, I haven't thought about it yet, maybe I'll record the process of eating.”
“You don't want to show your talent ? Dancing maybe ?” ask Clarence.
Ava who had gone up to the bed was silent for a while. “Too tiring, eating is also one of my talents. Sleep is also one of them, so good night.”
“Goodnight.” reply to Ava's other friends.
They stared at each other and could only shrug at the same time. They couldn't guess Ava's plan at all.
In the end, many trainees experience insomnia because they think about what they should do the next day. The time they have is only one minute and should make the most of it.
When the next day, after undergoing the morning routine, Ava returned to the dorm and took a bath first. Reportedly filming will start after breakfast, so there is still time to plan what he wants to do later.
Ava went to the staff who were preparing breakfast to ask about the plan she had thought of last night. Another talent she has is cooking. But it is impossible to cook in a minute, so it is better to talk about recipes while eating.
“Can I borrow the kitchen and ask for cooking ingredients?” asked Ava to one of the staff.
“What do you want to do ?” asked the staff confused to hear there are trainees who want to borrow the kitchen.
“This is for individual broadcast later. I want to eat something and need to cook it personally.” replied Ava.
The staff nodded, before the director had asked all staff to coordinate the needs of trainees as long as they could be provided. While this is only a matter of cooking so there is no problem at all.
The staff took Ava to the kitchen and introduced her to one of the chefs who was in charge of cooking food for the trainee.
“This is chef Aruna who is in charge of cooking you can ask for ingredients from him.” the staff said to Ava. “Sorry to trouble you, this is just a trainee who wants to provide materials for filming later.”
“No problem.” said chef Aruna and happily let Ava in the kitchen. “What do you need ?”
Ava thought for a moment about what she needed. “Is there chicken wings ?”
“Of course there are. Do you want to make fried chicken snack ?” ask chef Aruna while shifting to take chicken wings that are not too frozen like ready to cook. “Take this, what else do you need ?”
“Is there wheat flour, rice flour, tapioca flour, eggs, garlic, and basic spices.” says Ava explains the recipe. Chef Aruna also helps Ava in arranging each material so that the stay made by Ava as directed.
Ava who got all the ingredients started working, she washed the chicken, drained it and let it sit for a while while making dough for the chicken.
Make the dough quickly and mix the chicken into it. Ava silenced it for a while while making sauce for the chicken. Ava's hands are very fast and do not feel stiff at all in using a garlic cutting knife.
“You are quite talented in cooking.” praise chef Aruna when looking from the side.
Ava gave a small smile while mixing the ingredients for her sauce. “I love to cook.”
“That's great, a girl should at least know how to cook simple food.” Chef Aruna is a middle-aged chef who feels every youngster should at least be able to cook.
Ava just smiled and started frying her chicken in hot oil. Ava who put in her chicken prepared a plate to serve it as soon as it was drained.
The fried chicken slowly turned brownish, at this moment Ava drained it. Then put the other chicken in until it runs out. Only after finishing did Ava move the sauce to her own bowl and serve the chicken to a different plate. This is done so that he can still get the texture of the chicken skin.
“Let me help save it, when you are going to go filming, you can take it.” Chef Aruna refrains from taking a piece and keeps it in place of food to keep it warm and not lost.
“Then forgive me a hassle.” Ava said thankfully before leaving the kitchen.
When Ava returned to the dormitory, her roommates seemed to have just finished taking a bath and were preparing to go out to eat.
“Ava did you go out for a morning run?” hailey asked, she is the one who most often realizes Ava goes for a morning run every day.
Ava shook her head. “I went to prepare materials for individual filming.”
“Oh! You have it ready ?” ellie asked in surprise. She had just woken up and was surprised to hear Ava had already prepared the materials for filming.
Ava nodded.
“What are you preparing ?” leah asked from the bed on Ellie's bed. Both of them had just woken up and woke up and became refreshed because of Ava's words.
“Food, I cooked it in the kitchen.” Ava replied casually and prepared to take a towel about to take a bath. “I go shower first.”
Ava then goes to take a shower leaving her roommate in a panic. They immediately got up and started discussing what they wanted to do in the shoot.
When Ava came out of the bathroom, she saw Sophie was with her roommate and the atmosphere was a bit tense. “What's up?” ava asked when she saw they were very tense.
“We still don't know what we should do for individual filming later.” Sophie said with a sad look.
“Why don't you try drawing ? Isn't it when SMA you are very happy to draw a copy?” ask Ava to Sophie.
Sophie was inspired when she heard Ava. “Why don't I remember that! Thank you Ava!” Sophie immediately rushed out of the room to prepare her belongings.
Ellie put her hands up. “Ava what do you think I should do ?”
Ava looked at Ellie for a moment while thinking. She doesn't know Ellie too much so doesn't know much. “What do you like ?” ask Ava then.
Ellie remembers what she likes out loud.
“Hobby then ?” ava continued to see Ellie looks difficult to say her favorite.
“I... love cats.” Ellie said with some worry.
“Then why don't you try talking about this topic. For example about keeping a cat, food, how to shave, win a cat's heart and so on.” said Ava suggested.
Ellie was like Sophie before, feeling enlightened and nodding determinedly at Ava before exiting the room looking for staff.
Ava's other roommates immediately showed their shining eyes and impatiently asked for a consultation with Ava. So for a while, Ava opened a consultation and asked them questions in general so as not to make him ask the same thing to different people.
In the end they found out what they wanted to do and immediately went to the staff to ask to prepare items and other things.
Ava was finally able to rest while waiting for her turn. He stretched his body first and opened his notebook and began writing what happened today into song lyrics. He wrote while muttering a little and wrote down some symbols that only he understood himself so that not many people only know this as a diary or collection of thoughts. This is to keep her identity and kitchen secrets a secret.
When the roommates returned they went to breakfast together. Breakfast this time is still the same as yesterday, those who need special treatment will eat salads that have been provided while others are freer.
Unlike usual, this time the trainees like no appetite and eating left quite a lot. Everyone was very busy and worried about the filming they wanted to show.
Ava herself is still as usual, this time the staff put up their sequence for filming so they know when to prepare themselves. Ava happens to be able to turn in at the beginning so she goes to the staff to get thin make-up and goes to the kitchen to pick up the fried chicken along with the sauce.
The chicken he had blinded was still warm because chef Aruna seemed to fry again for a while before Ava picked it up. The effect made the aroma of fried chicken spread quickly in the filming studio.
“What is this scent ?” ask a cameraman who is setting the camera. “It looks like fried chicken.”
“Who brought fried chicken here ?” ask the staff who are on duty at the same time.
Just then, Ava passed in front of them carrying fried chicken and one bowl of sauce in the other hand. It just so happened that there were tables and chairs in the filming area, so Ava immediately put her chicken and sauce bowl on the table and sat down to prepare for filming.
He saw a total of four staff on duty before him, two cameramen, and two accompanying staff.
“Are we going to start filming ?” ask Ava to the staff.
The staff who had been staring at the chicken in front of Ava regained their senses. “Ah! Okay, so what format do you want to do ?”
“How to eat, and explain a few things to make good fried chicken.” Ava replied.
“OK. The time is 1 minute, you can do whatever you want.” said the staff then stand behind the camera and ready to watch. “Start!”
The camera started to be aimed at Ava who was smiling staring at the camera. “Hello everyone, my name is Ava Luna. Today I will share how to make fried chicken wings with a spice that is easily made by beginners. First because this is only a short video I will show you the results I have made before.” Ava then raised the chicken on the table and the sauce pointed it at the camera.
“How to make this chicken is very easy, you only need to mix wheat flour, rice flour, and tapioca flour. Comparison 2:2:1. Mix with two eggs with salt and pepper. Just a little bit of a pinch. Then if the concentration is too thick add a little water, if necessary cold water to be more crispy when eating.” Ava then took one of the chickens and split it by hand and showed him the chicken meat and the skin that was still puffing smoke.
“See, this you have to cook with a lot of oil, the fire is not too big. Careful gosong.” said Ava then bit the chicken in her hand. “Do not wait patiently. Then when the color is already this brown just lift.”
“Not difficult, just three cloves of garlic, then chili sauce, soy sauce, ketchup each one spoon, oh for sweet taste, add a little honey or sugar. Lastly dilute a little with water. Don't forget to taste it so you know what it's like.”
“You can mix it directly, or you can also mix it,” Ava dipped chicken in sauce in a bowl and ate it. “Very delicious. Good luck.” Then Ava smiled as she ate the chicken on her plate quietly.
“Cut!” the staff next to the cameraman stopped filming and smiled happily. “Your fried chicken looks really delicious.”
Ava handed it to the staff. “Let's eat together.”
Of course, Ava's invitation was immediately accepted by the existing Staff. The four staffs who came directly stormed the fried chicken on the table and the five ate happily.
“Um! Yummy!” The cameraman who had seen the chicken at the table was very happy and immediately ate it with a gluttony. He had imagined that he would finally be able to eat it.
“This sauce is quite delicious. I've been drooling ready since you explained it.” said the other cameraman.
“Eat more.” Ava said while gnawing on chicken wings. He likes it when others like his cooking.
“I have to try it when I go home later, it's very good.” The staff who directed Ava were thrilled when they found the recipe that had proven delicious.
“Please try, this is very easy to follow.” Ava said
In an instant the five spent the fried chicken on a very delicious table. When Ava came out, she brought empty plates and bowls to return to the kitchen. Because Ava was among the earliest, she was directly in the intercept of her roommate who had not done filming.
“How was the filming ?” ask Ellie who's been wearing cat-themed clothes.
Ava nodded. “Pretty good, I just shared a simple recipe. Not difficult.”
“Then did you take more than one picture ?” leah asked, she was most worried if she suddenly forgot a word and even destroyed the video.
Ava shaking head.” I only took one video.”
“Then why did you take so long ?” ask Clarence.
Ava showed the plate and bowl in her hand. “Staff takes time to eat fried chicken.”
They could finally only nod as if understanding and let Ava go to the kitchen to return the dishes and bowls. Ava herself went and thanked Chef Aruna for being able to borrow her kitchen.
“No-no I'm also glad to see a young girl can cook. Come if you want to eat something, I will cook it.” Chef Aruna said with a big smile.
Ava could only nod. “Thank you.”
Since then, if Ava wants to use the kitchen or needs something, Chef Aruna will help her with pleasure. Even Chef Aruna already considered Ava as his own daughter.
Then Ava waited for the filming process in the hall with Ava's friends who were also waiting for their turn. Sophie joins them while bringing one of her best friends in her group.
“Include, this is my good friend from a long time ago, Ava and this is Haru Deluca.” Sophie introduces her new friend to Ava. Haru who was introduced to Ava smiled happily and was being very polite.
“Hallo,” Haru is very enthusiastic but also very polite to Ava.
Ava smiled faintly at Haru and only gave a small nod.
“I have admired you so much since the dance match.” Haru said with sparkling eyes. “Entah how can you dance like that. What a marvel!”
Ava just lowered her head to hear directly uncomfortable because she heard someone praising her right in front of her.
Sophie who was standing next to Haru could only laugh softly and glanced at Ava amusedly. He knows Ava is a shy person, especially if praised in front of him directly.
“Already, don't be too honest like that on Ava,” Sophie said to Haru, “She's a bit shy.” she whispered to Haru.
Haru who heard this was surprised but also fascinated to know this. After all, Ava looks very confident, especially when on stage. Unexpectedly Ava was a shy person.
After that Haru did not say more but his sparkling eyes still stared at Ava excitedly. Like a kid who found something amazing. So for a while Ava had to avoid Haru's extremely hot gaze when it fell onto her body.
Individual filming time took so much time that the staff allowed the trainees to return to the dormitory or allow the trainees to use the practice room to practice on their own.
Ava initially wanted to return to the dormitory instead in a courtesy pull Sophie to go to the training room. The goal is to watch and watch him train. Not only did Sophie, Haru and Ava's roommate who had been filming come to the practice room.
They chose a song and tried to rehearse the choreography of the song. It was a bit difficult but they seemed determined to try it. Until Clarence who is not so good at dancing also tried. Ava herself watched it twice and just sat there watching them do the exercises.
Although Ava did not practice, she showed some and confirmed the posture of her friends who tried to improve their dance skills.
“The best way to train a choreographer is to learn with a low-speed song to adjust the body because of the moves you make.” said Ava explained some tricks how to easily learn faster a choreography.
In the end, Ava led their training and their efficiency improved, it took them only a few hours to perform the initial choreography smoothly.
During the break, Ellie approached Ava while carrying a choreographed recording of the famous boyband. “Ava try to see this choreography.” Ellie said showing it to Ava. “What do you think about this choreography ?”
Ava watched for a while then her eyebrows shot up automatically, after the video finished, she glanced at Ellie while nodding. “Very good.”
Ellie did not seem to be expecting such an answer and patted Ava's back gently with anxiety. “Not that I mean, More specific.”
“It takes energy, control, and a lot of footstep. Also full of fun vibes.” comments Ava while remembering the choreography she saw earlier.
Ellie looked a bit cautious but also looked curious. “Do you think I can bring you this dance ?”
Ava looked at Ellie and fell silent, thinking of Ellie's possibility to dance to her. “Not with your current level.”
Ellie immediately withered hearing it, “This choreography looks very pleasant. I thought I could try it.”
“Then just try it.” says Ava finally.
Ellie looked Ava in the eye with a twinkle. “Really ? Are you going to teach me ?”
“But I need to remind, there is almost no rest in this koreo.” Ava said as she stood up, she reminded Ellie not to regret for asking her to try this koreo.
Ellie nodded excitedly still not knowing what she was asking for.
Sophie, who knows Ava wants to teach Ellie a choreography, gets interested and stands next to Ellie, preparing to try it out together. While others were just watching from the side.
Ava started to move while giving a beat in her mouth without a song of introduction. Move this so slowly that Ellie and Sophie can follow him. Slow-moving, Ellie and Sophie could follow easily. But once the song is turned on, both can only freeze in place when they see the moves Ava teaches become very fast in the song. Ava does the moves with a beat that matches the song while Ellie and Sophie are still trying to try to follow him but gasps as soon as it's done.
“It's too fast.” Ellie said on the sidelines regulating her gasping breath. “Why it feels like we've done so much.”
“All the moves were only twenty seconds at the beginning.” Ava said casually.
Sophie and Ellie looked at each other and looked surprised. Both of them gave up trying to do the choreography.
This time it was Scarlett who showed me another choreographed video. “I've loved this song so much lately.” Scarlett said as she muttered the song.
Ava obediently watched the choreography. But instead of being happy, he frowned instead, feeling that something was wrong. “How many moves are overrated ?” muttered Ava.
“Created ?” Scarlett was not so aware of it while watching, she felt that the whole thing was very good.
Ava nodded. “With this song will also be good using simple moves. But this is just my opinion.” Ava said as she flicked her shoulder. It's not the choreographer who made it, but it's just his personal opinion.
“Then just try it.” said Scarlett she believes Ava who is very good at dancing, should be able to make choreography easily.
Ava glanced at Scarlett but did not move, she was too lazy and wanted to rest. But Scarlett instantly showed her pitiful face and begged Ava with just her eyes. Ava averted her eyes from Scarlett but it seemed like she did not give up easily.
For a few seconds, Scarlett circled Ava trying to get Ava to agree. As she finally could not stand it anymore, Ava finally could only stand up and agree to it. Ava listened again to the song and thought about moving what was appropriate. After thinking for a moment, Ava finally started to move.
Ava starts a very simple hand movement and adjusts when the song is, then continues it by moving the hand that follows the beat of the song without much additional movement. Sometimes the movements will be slow but also sometimes also fast but everything is very simple which is easy for people to follow.
Ava just makes a move based on her instinct to the chorus. His body curves beautifully giving a beautiful impression when seen by people. His movements were well controlled there was a time when he slowed down there was a time when he became full of strength. These choreographies are neater and cleaner without much moving which is difficult, although some are rather quick, but still acceptable to follow.
This was the first time Ava's friends saw her choreographing, so they were stunned. When Ava stopped at the first part of the Chorus, they immediately clapped and approached. Scarlett was especially excited, as Ava said earlier, a simple move could also lift this song and look lighter.
“You are really talented in dancing!” praise Scarlett.
“How can this song so feel different with different choreography!” hailey said in admiration. The power of choreography is very strong and impactful.
“I think you will be famous if this choreography reaches the public. It fits perfectly with the song!” Clarence could see the potential of this choreography, obviously it fits more than the original choreography.
Ava flicked her hand a sign of disapproval. “No! Too much trouble.” he said tiredly. He leaned against the wall of the room tiredly.
Ava is very good at dancing, but she is not too happy because it gives off too much energy and makes her very tired quickly than before. Therefore, Ava did not want this choreography to appear in the public.
But Ava did not know that the camera in the room was on and recorded all their activities in the room. When the staff saw the footage and showed it to the director. They agreed to publish it as part of a teaser to get the public even more interested in watching their programs.
