The show must go on

Scene 1

It's dark, it's loud. My eyes are closed, I'm waiting for my turn to arrive. After a moment that felt like an eternity, I finally hear it.

"And now give a roaring applause for our next idol, Mion!"

I hear the crowd cheering for me, I run toward the scene where all my fans are waiting.

"Are you ready for my cheerful performance?" 

The crowd is screaming with passion.

"I can't hear you all! Even louder!" 

They're cheering for me so much. Maybe I couldn't sleep last night because I had a lot of things to manage, but it's a moment like that that makes it worth it.

I give the best I can, dance and sing as good as possible. They're all so happy, I can see their smile on their face.

They're all so happy, I can see their smile on their face.

They're all here to see me on scene, or the idol I play for them at least.

After that performance, the next idol is sent to take place and I go back in the backstage.

Once I'm away from the public's gaze My body fall by itself, all the exhaustion had caught up to me.

I wake up in my dressing room, I see the manager next to me.

"Rinka, are you okay?"

"Like usual, I just need a bit of rest." Being an idol is really tiring, it often happens that I faint." It's good then, you need to be healthy for tomorrow's photoshoot, so rest well. There's your friend that wanted to see you, can he come in?"

I nod my head, i already who it is. Only one person is all always here for me, and it's not just a friend, it's my boyfriend.

As my manager go out, my boyfriend, Ritsu, come in.

"Are you okay? I was worried!" He's always worried about me, it's cute.

"I'm okay, don't worry. You already know it happen frequently."

"That's why I'm worried." I kiss him while he's lost in his worryness, I usually wait until we're away from my job since I can't get a boyfriend. But I'd feel bad leaving him like that.

"Don't worry, I'll be fine, I just need some sleep."

"Yeah, of course, rest all you can." I hear those words as I fall asleep for today.

I wake up, it's 5 am, so it's time for my training. I need to stay in shape, especially with how much I eat.

I repeat my dance's moves and go for a run. After two hours of sweating, I'm ready for today.

Everything is noted on my phone, So today I need to do a photoshoot, be at an idol event and plan my next concert.

When I see the sun at the window, I regret not spending my summer like others teenagers.

I hear footsteps, it's Ritsu!

I jump in his arms and hold him as tight as I can.

"You feel better?"

"I do, I just needed sleep, you see?"

"Yeah, but don't work too hard. I don't want to see you hurt because of your job."

"Come on silly, I'm not that fragile." I say that but sometimes I feel like I can't go on. Someone else is coming, it's Shinozui, my dance teacher.
