PLACE : WONDERLAND !
kirinare's perspective c:
my eyes fluttered closed, and i drifted off to sleep, my mind still reeling from the day's events.
it's been six months since debuted. i am known by Korea and Japan !
i am now standing on the big, bright, shining stage, surrounded by thousands of screaming fans in the audience.
holding a microphone, and my voice rings out clear and strong as she performs her debut single.
but as the performance progresses, the scene shifts, and i'm no longer alone on stage.
a figure appears beside me - a mysterious, shadowy form that seems to be pulling me towards the edge of the stage.
i tried to resist, but the figure grows stronger, its presence suffocating.
suddenly, the phone rings, shattering the dream and jolting jointing me awake
PRESENT TIME : KEREI'S BEDROOM !
third person's perspective <:
kerei rubs the sleep from her eyes, confusion etched on her face. she checked the time and it was 6:19.
'who calls someone this early?'
her phone was on her lamp stand, buzzing and vibrating loud as ever. she sighed and decided to accept her fate – checking the caller's id.
"中村マネージャー (Manager Nakamura) ?" she read, empty minded- wait.. WHAT?
she answered immediately, the sleepiness slowly fading away.
"Hello, Mr. Nakamura!" she said.
"Good Morning, Ms. Inoue." he answered, "Get ready for a meeting at 9, at KQ headquarters, I have something to say."
her eyes widen, was she in trouble?
"Wait, what's going on, Manager Nakamura? Why the sudden meeting?" Kerei asks, trying to shake off the remnants of sleep.
Manager Nakamura's voice remains calm and collected, "I'll explain everything at 9, Kerei. Just be there. And, Kerei?"
"Sir?"
"Come alone."
Kerei's curiosity is piqued.

she arrives at the agency, her mind racing with possibilities. what could this meeting be about? has she done something wrong? is it about a new project?
she greeted everyone and made her way to the office, where the meeting was taken place. as she enters the meeting room, she sees a mix of familiar and unfamiliar faces.
there's Manager Nakamura, the agency's director, a few staff members and... a representative from "Music Bank," the popular music show?
...
kerei's heart skips a beat. what does this mean? is she being considered for a spot on the show? but why the secrecy?
Manager Nakamura begins the meeting, his expression serious. He clears his throat, capturing everyone's attention.
"Kerei, we've called you here today because we have a special opportunity for you. One that could change the course of your career."
The room falls silent, with all eyes on Kerei.
"As you know, 'Music Bank' is one of the most popular music shows in the industry. And we've been approached by the producers to offer you a spot as a main MC."
Kerei's eyes widen in shock. What?
Kerei's mind races as she processes the news.
"Me? An MC on Music Bank?" she repeats, trying to sound calm.
Manager Nakamura nods, a smile spreading across his face, "Yes, Kerei. You've shown tremendous growth and potential. This is a fantastic opportunity for you to shine and reach a wider audience."
the representative from Music Bank chimes in, their voice filled with enthusiasm, "We believe Kerei's charisma and talent make her a perfect fit for our show. We're willing to offer her a six-month contract, with the possibility of extension."
Kerei's thoughts swirl with excitement and trepidation, Six months on live TV? Can i handle that?
"What do I need to do?" she asks finally, trying to sound confident.
Manager Nakamura hands her a thick folder, "Everything you need to know is in here. Scripts, schedules, guidelines... We'll guide you through the process, but we need your commitment now."
the flip, they got it all planned and shit?
Kerei takes a deep breath, weighing her options... was it worth it? it would mean, no media, right? so no more dramas to watch?
she hesitated and finally gave in, "I'm in."
