shishi gets rejected

hold on for a bit

shishi, not fully awoken feels herself surrounded by lukewarm, slightly on the warmer side masses of 

well, mass

she feels so light

like being in space

or encapsulated in a comically large pillow

was she actually caught by a giant pillow?

she is at peace

100% zen

floating through a calm abyss

oh god

a giant force throws shishi around and shishi starts suffocating and gasps for air by instinct

her mouth fills with more of this mass

it feels just like chugging a beverage

unwillingly

it's so salty.

oh wait

is this water?

where the hell are we?

shishi thrashes violently underwater

she can't see well due to her thrashing and

well, water.

shishi what'd we say about breathing underwater

you can't

it seems her underwater tantrum caught the attention of some bystanders

shishi hears some muffled banter from above her and then passes out

shishi awakes for the second time [technically like 40th] to some chatter

"You think she is dead?"

"Yes."

"You should know, we can't afford to damage the image of--"

shishi coughs up waters and sits up. she's sitting on a beach

oh god oh my god

haha! another beach episode!

i enjoyed how the last one turned out

but it seems like this one will be way different.

she looks around, her 5 foot tall life size gold plated 70 kg queen statue isn't anywhere.

she's already spent way too long without 5 foot tall life size gold plated 70 kg queen statue

she didn't even see her after she abandoned her 

not even when Dazai pushed her off the building

ack, the images of that mystery woman's stare resurfaces

hmm i hope they didn't find the 5 foot tall life size gold plated 70 kg queen statue though

i wonder where she is

shishi's not on the same beach, this one is larger and there's no children or families at all

in fact, there's a camera crew with expensive equipment, multiple tall men in suits, numerous people rushing around frantically and some girl in a chair getting her hair done instead.

"Oh, you're awake?" this guy who looks to be in his mid 30s crouches down to shishi and inspects her

shishi nods her head.

this other guy with sunglasses who appears to be younger looks at her surprised

"Are you ok?"

shishi nods her head again.

she's in a state of shock, processing.

"Oh, good!" the two men celebrate and stand up and then their faces freeze

they lean back down towards shishi

"You can't speak of this."

shishi begins nodding and then stops

"huh?"

"This would be a disaster to get out and would cause a lot of problems. You got it?"

"what why"

"Do you know where you are and who we are?"

"no"

The men stop talking and look at each other.

"Are you kidding?"

"no"

"You just washed up on the shore of the K-pop sensation, Gigi's long awaited summer album debut photoshoot. Show some respect."
