"Do we have to wake her up right now? "

"Yes, Daphne, or else she will be late for her Jimmy Fallon interview. As her manager, I do not want y/n to have a bad impression this early in her career. She's just starting for Pete's sake!"

With all the noise they are making, I'm surprised that they haven't figured out that I'm already awake. How will I get some rest now? I thought to myself.

Since I do not have an escape route out of this one, I should get ready and conquer the day that my team planned out for me.

"I know that, Steph. I have been working for y/n for 3 years now and I already have an idea of how the industry works. I am just worried that this kid is overworking herself. Last night, she went home from dance practice at 2 in the morning. She was lucky that I was still awake to open the door."

"Well if she wants to be the best dancer out there like she dreamt of, this is the only way to do it. Hollywood is getting bigger as time progresses and kid you not, the demand expected from actors and artists are increasing as well."

Man, this conversation is getting serious by the minute. I guess this is my cue to stand up.

"Hey guys, it's too early in the morning to have that kind of conversation don't you think?"

"Oh great, you're awake. How long have you been eavesdropping?"

"Long enough to convince me that the both of you love me so much and I am not eavesdropping Steph. Mind you, this is my room."

"Fine. Whatever you say, kid. How's your body?"

"Really really sore. I can't feel my legs and I can't walk properly. Oh, how am I going to survive today? This is horrible!"

"ha ha ha very funny. You do know that your antics do not work on me any more right?"

"Well, it's working for Daphne. Look at her she's laughing!"

"By the way, Daphne, thank you for opening the door last night. Sorry I kept you waiting. I'm still convincing Kevin to make our training lighter. I feel like he's killing me!"

"Oh, that's just silly! You're too lovable. Plus, you do not have to worry about me. It's part of my job and I promised your family that I will take good care of you while you are here, remember?"

"hmmm right right"

Oh yes, my family! I guess being busy for the past few days made me forget about them for a second. It's kind of weird to admit that I miss them all of a sudden. I guess this career is distracting me from what I'm truly thinking and feeling.

"Oh come on, y/n! Don't be mopey pants. Let me distract you for a bit. Do you want to hear your schedule today?"

"Yeah sure go ahead. Before I change my mind and go back to sleep."

"I guess that's my signal. I'll go now so I can assist the others in preparing the meal for later. Enjoy you two."

"Thank you, Daphne!"

"Thanks, Daphne! Okay so starting with the obvious, you need to change and get ready because our team meeting will start at 9:30 AM. We will be briefing you about your upcoming event alongside the remaining training days for it followed by your taped interview for Jimmy Fallon at 2 PM and other talk show appearances."

"Just to make sure I am getting this right, the only physical thing I am doing today is the meeting and interview?"

"Well, if you put it that way, yes. Why? Is there a problem?"

"I expected more I guess? You guys would usually overbook my day. Anyway, this is amazing! Since I have some time in my hands, do you mind going with me to my spot?"

What is my spot you ask? Well, it's a coffee shop that's minutes away from my house. It became my go-to place when I instantly felt peace and normalcy in it. Ever since I started going there to accomplish work or have my "alone time", I never encountered people who would like to have my autographs or pictures taken. Don't get me wrong, I love my fans, but sometimes I crave my personal space.

When I discovered this shop while I was taking my daily walk, I only told it to the people I consider family, Daphne and Steph. Since they value my safety at all times, they kept this place a secret too. Whenever people would look for me and they know I am there, they would make up excuses for my sake.

"Yeah sure, why not. I haven't had my morning coffee yet plus I couldn't get over their caramel macchiato. It's so intense, I tell you! I had a dream about it last week!"

"Well, tell me all about it later! I'll just take a bath and get ready. Meet me downstairs."

"If you're not finished in 10 minutes, y/n I'm going there my own."

"Oh, whatever!"

A/N: Hi everyone!

I already published the first few chapters yesterday, but I decided to delete them because I thought of a better story for this one. I'm revising the other chapters right now I can release it right away.

Anyway, I hope that Chapters 1 - 1.3 are okay for you guys. This is my first time writing a story so I have a lot of things to figure out. Tell me what you think!
