Short Story For You
because I'm an idol

This place is too small for me, I need a wider place so that my art can flow in their air. Right, I gotta go.

That thought prompted me to move into the city. By continuing my schooling, I auditioned for an agency there. First, I failed. My rap is not clear, and my movements are too stiff. Yeah, thats... It's okay, it's still a long time to get to the top of the bar. One day my fans will be cheering. * Abe Mikio, fighting*

I chuckled to myself, thinking about my delusion. Hopefully one day it will work. Mikio's spirit.

"Mikio san, latte 1" the man said to me.

I pointed my thumb at him and immediately took the cup and filled it with ice cubes and lattes.

I gave a serving of refreshing drink earlier to Ayumu. My older brother-in-law, who offered me a job to be Batista in his little cave.

"Kichida san, the latte is ready." I was excited to wave my hand.

"Mi chan, gomen I'm a little busy here. You can take him to table 15, a prankster is waiting. " Pint Ayumu to me.

"Key !" My heart is no less excited.

I walk with 1 cup of order. Approaching table number 15. Ano, where is the jabbard that ayumu-ni means. The table was occupied by the girl. Maybe he replaced her.

" Sumimasen, miss, did you order a latte ?" My toot.

He looked at me and nodded. I think it's true he replaced that uncle. "Arigato" said.

"Yosh" I answered, with a smile and then returned to the kitchen.

I saw some photos of my idol, which were intentionally attached to the white wall. Staring at his portrait alone made a tremble, the spirit of reaching my dream filled my soul. Wait for me Ren Chan.

" What a long time, mikio" said a girl who broke my daydream.

"Ah, gomen Ayumi. I don't think I can now. Your brother will be troubled if I go "

I answered while taking the cup.

"Just relax mi-chan, you guys just learn. I'll take care of the rest" said Ayumu's sister from the door.

"But kichida ni-"

" Of course, go there. I'm yumi Chan"

"arigato kichda headstone" I bowed.

I took off the apron and took out the backpack I had prepared for tutoring at school.

With Ayumi I walked to school. The look is more casual with the shirt covered with. Her hair was tied to a ponytail with a few strands left to unravel. Ayumu is very sweet with her glasses.

" Mikio, until when are you going to look at me like that" Ayumi said.

"I'm sorry, that's because you're so beautiful today" I said.

Ayumi looked surprised by my statement. His face is like a boiled octopus now.

"Don't say that suddenly ! "

"Why ? You are beautiful" I said again.

His face was getting red, was he overheated?

"Akh, don't say it again !" He said as he closed his face and left.

"Wait for me Ayumi." Call me while chasing him.

🤴🏻

"Finally "I put my head on the table. After an hour of listening to the algorithm.

" How are you going to be an idol, if lazy like this "Ayumi says it right in my ear.

" What idols should learn" I said lazily.

" Right, not about the smarts. But his efforts "he said it was cold

Huh, I exhaled. True too he said, Ellen must also try hard.

My hair is still blonde, since my audition a week ago. I better clean this up.

We go back to the cafe and I'll help clean up.

When I picked up the item, a girl called me from behind. It was that girl earlier.

" Excuse me, are you mikio Abe ? " ask.

" Ah right, that's me "I replied

" What's "quote

" I'm from, knazx entertainment. Was it true you auditioned last week "

" Kna-knazx entertainment ? Ah right last week I auditioned. But it hasn't escaped "my answer.

The woman seemed to breathe out. " You actually passed the audition" he said.

" Huh, but no one emailed me "I replied.

The woman handed me a piece of paper and gave it to me. The sheet contained the form I filled out when I applied for the audition. There was nothing wrong, until my focus shifted to email addresses.

Baka !

I filled out my email address wrongly. It's just not appropriate. There's any notice.

" Gomenasai, I wrote the wrong email "my words.

He who seemed to have understood did not express anything.

"Come to knazx entertainment tomorrow at 10" he said.

" Hey "my word is fast and bowing.

" Okay, ja matane "he said leave.

🤴🏻🤴🏻🤴🏻

At 10, I was in the building a week ago. Though I've given up on breaking through this agency. But God seems to have another way.

I walked up to the reception desk and showed him the invitation card. The woman of the late 20s invited me to the room on the 4th floor. The other trainees were already there.

" Hajidhemashite watasiwa name of mikio Abe desu. Yorosiku omegaishimasu (greetings, my name is mikio Abe, please help)" said I politely introduce myself.

" Hey, yorosiku "answer they are compact.

Shortly after that introduction, the manager of the trainees told us to form a team for selection. I was together, juza and Kaito chose one of our senior-titled songs. Love in the cloud.

You practice 3 hours before performing for selection.

" Juza Kun, watch your steps" Kaito said.

" Mikio, your movements are wrong" he said again.

" Well, "I answered.

After such painstaking effort practicing it was finally our turn. The song played and we started dancing. The other trainees noticed our dance, although it was not always compact but we stayed in tune.

" A pretty good performance from team 4, the next "said the manager.

We sat down after the performance. " Hah, it's exhausting" said Juza Kun.

" That's just the beginning, juza san. There is still a selection of Rapp and vocal "answered Kaito who wiped his own glasses.

" Kaito Kun, you're really cool "my praise to our oldest member.

" Arigato, you are also a great mikio" he replied.

🤴🏻

Now is the final day of selection, before tomorrow the announcement for the trainees that will be classed on the debut line.

" I know you've been trying your hardest. But of the 8 trainees there are only 7 who can enter the debut line "

Everyone put on was was was face, my heart was beating very fast. Did I get into the debut line ?

" Today is enough to train, prepare yourself tomorrow. Because the best will get away with "the word ends the manager's speech.

We went back to drome, I'm the 1st room with Kaito, not feeling his presence here. Where is she ?

I intend to look for it, the surrounding drome is not a large place, surely I will find it quickly. But holding Kaito instead did not sleep, when tomorrow is an announcement to the debut line ? I'm sure he'll get away. Kaito is the best member among other trainees. Whether it's dance, vocal or Rapp even visual he's the coolest.

After searching the North, I went east. It wasn't as easy as I thought. Where is Kaito ?

Ah there, Kaito was holding his glasses and sitting without a chair.

" Ryoichi san ! " summon me.

He did not immediately reply, Instead of wearing his sunglasses.

" Ah mikio, are you here ? " Tanya ryoichi.

I sat down next to him, and looked at his slightly lethargic, passionless face. Why is she ?

" Oh, I can't sleep tonight "he replied staring at some sparkling stars.

"Are you nervous ? Haha, it's obvious you're going to get into the debut line "I said.

He smiled, but not because he was happy. Maybe because I didn't know what was going on, so an appreciative smile was displayed by him.

" I won't get away mikio" he said.

I flinched, what a terrible joke was told by him. Only impossibilities are thrown.

" Don't joke Ryoichi san, it's impossible. You're the best among us "

Back that smile he displayed, making my chest tick by slowing down a bit. What that smile actually means.

" No idol wears glasses after all, the contact lens doesn't suit me either. Hufft, maybe I'll just try something else." He said, I still looked at him with a confused look.

" It was mikio's spirit "he said patting me on the shoulder.

"you're confirmed to debut. With 1 place reduced by me, other trainees can debut instead" now the smile displayed is a sense of surrender. I don't like that.

" No, without you this group wouldn't be running. You are the wheel that brought us here, what we would be without you "I said emotionally, obviously I don't want to be lived by Ryoichi.

His brown mocha pupils enlarged for a moment, his lips that had been closed, now slightly opened. His face was very surprised.

" We need you, Ryoichi san. You're like a leader to us, even though it's a competition to get ahead of the stage." I lost control again.

"Mikio.

"If you're worried about another friend who might fail. Then I'll just go "I said and go to the manager's room.

" Wait mikio "prevent Ryoichi whom I have no regard for.

🤴🏻🤴🏻🤴🏻

I ran towards our manager room which was still on. After knocking on the door, the manager's voice told me to come in

" What's up ? " Suggest directly to the core.

" Sumimasen manager, I want to resign. " I said with a low head.

" What's your excuse ? " Task the manager while looking at me.

I stood up from my bent position. Not daring to stare at him directly, I could only see his wave-hair caress. He held his hand to his chest, waiting for my answer.

" I don't want to debut "my original ceplos, so stupid, which I say even silly reasons.

" Are you?, then what about Ellen ?. That's not what you're waiting for, mikio "he said.

Ellen, the idol I've been waiting for is coming to the first debut concert. Will the training I do be in vain ? But, Ryuichi...

" What will your wish stop ? Ah, too bad, when I listened to you to invite Ellen to the first concert. " She took a picture of my idol Ellen.

" I'll stick.p-go "my word for the last time.

He regretted my decision and sat back in his chair. " Yes, I can't force you to settle down. Tomorrow you can leave this drome " said the manager.

" Well, thank you and sorry "last me and then out of the room

🤴🏻🤴🏻🤴🏻

With the big bag I was tenting, my feet began to leave the drome that I had occupied for 7 months. The gray 3-story building seemed to wave at me, in harmony with the dimming of the sun because of the gray clouds.

There's nowhere else I'm going, other than the first place I've been in this metropolis. The cafe belongs to Ayumu's sister, the only one that's wide open for my shoes.

" Okaeri mi-chan "greet Ayumu's sister when she sees me coming in.

"Ta-tadaima "answer me.

Ayumi who was wiping the table stopped and approached us. Still with his glasses, Ayumu looked at me.

" Why go home, isn't it 3 weeks you debut ? " As usual, his intuition really did not miss.

" A.I failed "my answer.

Ayumu grabbed my body, displaying her cheerful smile.

" Already, there will be another chance" after which he goes to the kitchen.

It's just me and Ayumi here, and the awkward atmosphere is suddenly here. I was still confused to open the conversation, but Ayumi went to finish her task.

" Huffft "hela ku.

🤴🏻🤴🏻🤴🏻

A week after that incident, the former mikio had changed completely. No more cheerful with her beautiful humming, only mikio left aimlessly. Well my life is very sad.

" Moccha 1 and 2 hot Coco, wait a minute" I said after passing the order of the 2 teenage girls.

I told Ayumu sister the order earlier. Then back at the cashier's desk. Standing in front of me a girl with a pink sweeter with a black line and hair that is pigmented 2 neatly holding her sash bag saw me.

"Eee, is there something you want to order ? " I asked, because from that moment he just kept quiet.

" Can you come back ? " ask.

" What does it mean "I was confused by that cute girl.

" It wasn't your dream to debut, why did you go "

" How do you know, I'm one of the trainees" I said in surprise. Because every trainee is not allowed to publish that status. Ah I forgot, she was the same girl who told me when my email address was wrong.

" I'm sorry if I stay there. Then the heart of the group will go "my words.

" Could come with me after you work "the question.

Finished with the cafe of Ayumu's sister I immediately approached the girl who had asked me to meet her. The case with the look like earlier, yes I think the lips are bent yes also still the same.

" Follow me "he's leading me to where he's headed. Why he took me to a knazx entertainment agency. Two kept stepping and stopped in front of the training room.

He opened the door, looking at my trainee friend who was practicing. Great song and energetic choreography. I'm sure it'll be tranding. Ryoichi was the first to notice my presence.

" Mikio "call him.

I waved at them with Awkwardness. " You guys just practice "I said as they stopped dancing. As if not listening to me, they surrounded me from the front.

" Let's practice, the choreography is very tight. You have to train harder ", said Juza.

" Right, we're short of lead dancers here" he said.

" Ta-but I'm out" I said.

" Go back, the group will debut with 8 members" said the manager who came behind me.

I flinched, the decision that day there were only 7 members who would debut. Why is there a change ?

" I'm sure you must be confused, yes I can't do anything when the daughter of the biggest shareholder of knazx entertainment asks for it" explained the manager.

The daughter of the owner of the shares ? Is that the one who brought me here ?

" Yosh, come here mikio. Let's become idols " said Ryoichi.

My raging feelings made me exist in the greatest happiness, a dream that I thought would be a mere nonsense finally 1 step left to reach it.

🤴🏻🤴🏻🤴🏻

The orange spray that has dyed the sky above the Tokyo tower, I am still home with my rescue daughter.

" I'm glad you're back mi-chan" she said.

Huh ? The call was only used by people close to me. Why would a girl I just knew wear it ?

" Why do you call me that ? " Tanyaku.

"Don't you like me calling you by a familiar call "

" No, I mean-" my speech was cut off.

" It turns out that you forgot about me" he said, moving forward.

" Take a look at me, and remember something "he asked.

I noticed the white oriental face. Big round beautiful eyes and those peach lips. I think I'm thinking of someone.

" Fumiko ! Is that you ? " I said with surprise.

Fumiko was my childhood friend. We went to school together until grade 5 of Elementary School, until he finally moved somewhere. I still remember when his face was on the back of the walking car looking at me in tears.

" It turns out that I have not been completely forgotten, mi-chan do you still remember our promise. " ask.

" Huh ? I don't think I remember "my words.

" Promise about, someday we'll get married. I still remember when you said it."

I was stunned, hearing his words. It's true that she's the girl I like the most. Until the moment he left, everything turned dark. But almost the same color came back to me, the owner of the color was ayumi. Who should I choose.
