Third Person POV

Being an idol is hard. Let's be honest, it's not the dream everyone would think it was. Being watched all the time by everyone, people hating on you, having stalkers, trying to make millions of people happy. You sacrifice your own happiness at the end. Because in reality, being an idol sucked. And once you become one, there's no turning back. 

Aether was starting to get tired. His sister loved being an idol, but he...didn't. Not anymore at least. he thought he would be able to get use to it like his sister did, but no. He didn't have the heart to tell Lumine that he was done. 

Aether sighed as he sat in the recording studio. He didn't know what to do. He need to write a song, but he had no ideas. No inspiration. "Knock knock, it's your favorite person in the world!" "Kazuha?" Aether asked. "Rude! Me Venti!" Aether laughed and stood up. "What's up?" "Well...I have a favor." "I will not be dressing up as a girl." Venti waved his hands around, "It's not that! I swear! It's related to music!" Aether gave Venti a suspicious look. "What is it?" "I have a friend name Zhongli, he has a new upcoming idol, but he wants this newbie to debut with someone more popular. That was he can get use to the attention and gain popularity quickly. I asked Paimon and she told me to ask you." Aether thought for a moment. Should he really help this person? "Hm, I don't know." "Come on please? If you want you can talk with the manager first and the client?" "Yeah. Let's do that." Venti smiled brightly and hugged Aether. "Thank you! I'll text you later!" Before Aether could respond Venti left. 

Later on, Aether got a message from Venti to meet him at the café near the park. Aether told Paimon he is going out. Paimon said alright and sent a body guard to drop off Aether. While driving to the café Aether put on a jacket, some sunglasses, tied his hair up and put it inside of a hat. Once he arrived he thank the driver and said Venti would b taking him back to the studio. The driver nodded and left. Aether then entered the café and saw Venti waving at him from the corner. He also saw Venti with two other people, who he assumes is Zhongli and his about to be new idol. "Aether, Zhongli and Xiao. Xiao and Zhongli, Aether." Aether shook hands with the both of them and took a seat beside Venti. "Now then, Zhongli please explain to Aether about what you wanted to do." Zhongli nodded. 

"Well you see Aether, my son here, Xiao, is going to become an idol. He always gets nervous around crowds of people but still wants to perform. I was wondering if you could sing a duet with him and help him over come that fear? Once he sings with you, he himself will debut." Aether nodded understanding. Aether was outgoing and could easily help Xiao. "I could help however what would the song be about?" Zhongli tapped Xiao. Xiao got the hint and started to speak. "Oh well, my father and sisters think that the topic of angst fits me. So I suppose something angsty, sad, or dark?" "Okay, we can do that. Do you want it to be an original or a cover?" "Oh well uh-" Aether had an idea. If he was going to help this boy he should do both. Get him to sing two different songs. When being an idol here is always trends you must follow. "Or we can do both? We could sing a trending song, and then create one ourselves. It will teach you about trends and how to produce music." Xiao nodded. Aether smiled and pulled his phone out. "Here come sit be, let's look at some songs." Xiao nodded and walked over t sit beside Aether.
