CELEBRITY - YOSAHI

Part 4

Asahi POV

What now?! Why should I watch his performance? He just debuted a few weeks ago, so why should I learn from him.. Not trying to be rude but-
"Asahi!" I was interrupted by manager jae.
"They've already left..But that's fine. I'll come with you. So, come on.." she said and I trailed along to the van.
I also made sure I had my phone. I could see many other artists, so I definitely need a picture..

Wow.. I gasped in amazement.. The inkigayo building is huge.. I got out and quickly snapped a picture..
"Asahi, you might wanna save your phone storage for later~" she smirked and pulled me inside..
This is not the typical type of manager you'd expect..
We were blocked by the guards.. I didn't have an ID, but I'm sure manager jae did..

She pulled her ID and took it back once they checked it..
"you may get in"  they spoke and I sighed in relief..

Manager jae was right when she said that I might need to say my phone storage.. This place is huge. She guided me through the floors and finally to the audience seat..
"You little, sit here. I'll check on yoshi and manager seo"
The heck! Do I look little? I shrugged it off.. It's useless to waste energy on such things..

I looked around.. This is a dream come true. Maybe one day I would be performing here. Maybe one day I would have fans.. Maybe one day i could make my family proud.. Tears welled up in asahis eyes.. He missed his family a lot.. He's been training for 2 years and he barely got to see his family during this time period.

"are you okay?" a voice pulled him out of his thoughts..
(do I look okay?! I obviously don't.. What kind of a question is this?!) he thought..
"No" he mumbled.
"here, have this and cheer up" she said and handed him a coke.. His favorite softdrink..
He obviously didn't cheer up, but his mood became better..

"I'm jiyae, 21 years old, an idol that debuted a year ago.. But, I don't think you may know me.. Our group is not that popular.." she mumbled the last part..
"ooh.. I feel sorry for you" his tone deepened..
"there's nothing to feel sorry about. That's reality. You don't always become popular or have many fans.. No matter how talented you are.. You company plays a big role in your popularity" she said and I felt bad.
"I'm lucky to be under yg entertainment.." I mumbled to myself but she heard it..
"yes, you definitely are" she said and I pouted..

"forget that, let's go get some inkigayo sandwiches. I bet you've never tried them.." she said and I nodded..
"so, how is idol life?" I asked decided to start the conversation..
"boring and hectic. Our fans, they're horrible. As much as Id love to say I like my fans.. I cant..not after all the shit they've done to our group. Some idols lie about loving their fans, but I don't.. I love them. One of them saved my life.." she said tears welling up..

(I don't know what to do.. A hug worked for yoshi, so maybe that'll do)

I slowly hugged her. I could feel her body stiffen but it calmed down..
" it'll all be fine big sis" I told her..

" don't! " she suddenly said and I got shocked..
" it's not safe..the paparazzi may think we're dating" she said and I suddenly removed my hands..

She was right.. We both could hear the camera shutter go off..were doomed..
