38: MAMA '18 and Breakfast with Sashi Okan

Sakura's POV:

We've finished Day Two of our performances today. Tomorrow and for the next three days, we'll do it again. We had songs lined up for us, we've practiced them already and we were now getting ready for MAMA 2018 Japan. We'll be flying there tonight after resting for an hour. I wish we'd just fly over in the morning, but WM wanted us to be early for tomorrow. It was unreasonable, but I realize K-Pop Idols will have to do a taped rehearsal for their fans. I was already exhausted as it was today, but remembering we had to perform again tomorrow and for the rest of MAMA '18. I looked at Chaen who was now walking like a zombie, her eyes closed. She back hugged me after a while, her eyes still closed as we were waiting for everyone to finish packing their stuff. Everyone is in a rush, we were sharing the dressing room with the forty eight group, all our kids were seated around me. Eunbi Unnie was sitting with Nako on her lap. They're all tired and out of energy and the only reason they were seated around me was because Matsui was sitting across us, the whole team was kind enough to cover me as Chaen sleeps. Chaen was still in a backhug and I was sitting on her lap. I don't know how we are getting out of here.

Chaen's steady breaths were hitting my neck, her arms tightened around my whole body. I let her be, she's jealous of Matsui, ever since she caught me looking at Matsui earlier. Though it was a quick gaze and I held her hand the entire time anyway, making sure our hands were intertwined, I knew she was jealous of Matsui. Though I already told her time and time again that she shouldn't be jealous, because Matsui wasn't even up to her par. She was kind, loving and compassionate with everyone she works with, definitely unlike the self-centered Matsui, she was more decent than Matsui was, we always slept together and her hands didn't stray away, she always held me tight in a hug or backhug, she always held my hand and her kisses were always on the forehead, nowhere else unlike Matsui who kisses me everywhere she wanted on a whim and like a blitzkrieg of kisses everywhere near my neck or chest. Soon, we were ready to go back to our hotel. I needed to wake her up. I tapped her cheek using my palm and waited for her to wake up. I felt a groan from her.

"Uggghhh what?" She said as she groaned.

"We're leaving now, Koibito. C'mon, wake up." I replied softly to her.

"Okay, give me a few seconds." She replied.

She stretched her arm and held me in a backhug yet again. She stood from her chair. She slings her bag to her chest and mine on her other side. She makes me look back to her and she kisses my forehead. The forty eight groups held a collective gasp at what they've seen. Chaen only smiles and placed her arm around me as she still held my hand as if it were a natural thing. Then Sashihara appeared in our dressing room. She greets the rest in the room and quickly approaches me and held my other hand.

"You did great, Kku-chan. You danced great." Sashi says.

"Thank, you Okan. We're actually about to leave now, we can have breakfast tomorrow if you want, we're staying at Park Hotel, Tokyo." I offered to Sashi.

"Sounds good. Bring your members with you." Sashihara replied to me and bowed to the rest of my team members.

I bowed back to Sashi and pulled Chaen out of the dressing room. The rest of my team bowed to Sashi and we abruptly left the stadium and went back to our hotel. Chaen was already in bed, we were roomies with Wonyoung and Minju. The mother and daughter were already sleeping in bed. I was lying beside Chaen, eyes closed but not quite asleep. I encircled Chaen in a hug. Waiting for my alarm to sound off, the nuclear trigger alarm that Chaeyeon hates. I purposefully left my phone underneath her pillow to wake her up for our flight at twelve. Because if I don't we'll be late for the flight and miss the plane entirely. Chaen was exhausted, judging by the way she looked and by the way her sleeping form curved towards the bed, I've never in the last five months seen her sleep like this.
