My Regrets (Ran Mitake x Male Reader)

Chapter 25

*(Y/N)'s POV*

It was finally the day of the event and I was waiting for, Taiko and Shizuka to arrive. I received a call from them earlier ago and they said they'll be bringing my mom with them. Seems like she doesn't wasn't to miss out on this event, considering it has been a while since she has attended the previous one.

We still have some time before the event starts. Might as well go to the waiting room, could relax in there a little bit. When I entered inside, I saw all of the Afterglow members. 

(Y/N): Girls? What are you all doing in here?

(Tomoe): We just wanted to see if you're holding up okay, considering that the event is today.

(Y/N): I'll be fine. You girls helped me practice with practice after all.

(Himari): Are you sure? You'll be up on stage without us.

(Tsugumi): And what about your trauma? Has it gotten any better?

(Y/N): Well, I'm handling it as best as I can. I'm not as afraid when I see my father. So I like to believe it has.

(Moca): Moca-chan is really glad to hear that~. Don't you think so too, Ran~?

(Ran): Yeah, we came a long way. All that's left to do is support him once he's on stage.

(Y/N): Thanks, girls.

Just then, I heard someone knocking on the door. I opened it to see it was, Hagumi.

(Hagumi): Hey, (Y/N)!

(Y/N): Hagumi? What are you doing here?

(Hagumi): I came to drop off a batch of croquettes for good luck!

(Y/N): Really? Thanks a lot, Hagumi.

(Hagumi): No problem. Well, I'm gonna go back with the others now, the girls are all waiting with the audience.

(Y/N): Wait, Hello, Happy World! is here?

(Hagumi): Yep! And it's not just us though, all the other girl bands are here to watch you perform!

(Y/N): They're all here, huh?

(Hagumi): Mhm! Anyway, good luck out there, (Y/N)!

Hagumi then bid me farewell as she went to where the audience is. Man, the pressure is on.

(Tomoe): Hey, (Y/N)? Where's, Taiko? Shouldn't he be here by now?

(Y/N): Just give him a few more minutes, I'm sure he'll be here soon.

(???): You called?

As if right on cue, Taiko showed up entering the room with, Shizuka standing next to him.

(Taiko): Sorry for the wait. Has the event started yet?

(Himari): Nope, you're right on time! Good thing that you made it.

(Taiko): Well, that's good to know. We had to pick up someone with us before we can come over, if you girls were wondering why we were running late.

(Tsugumi): And, who would that be?

(Shizuka): (Y/N)'s mother.

(Ran): Wait, she's here?

(Shizuka): Yep. Taiko brought her here for the last event and I think she enjoyed every single performance. I'm certain she doesn't want to miss her own son's performance. Right, (Y/N)?
