Ita woke up to the sound of waves gently lapping against the shore. She stretched her arms and yawned, feeling refreshed after a good night's sleep. Deciding to start her day with a dose of serenity, she walked down to the sea, breathing in the salty air and listening to the soothing melody of the ocean. As she stood there, the stress and fatigue of her journey began to melt away. Feeling a sudden pang of homesickness, she pulled out her phone and initiated a video call to her mom, who answered with a warm smile. They chatted for a while and then Ita ended the call and went back to her hotel.

As Ita entered the lobby, she was immediately struck by the chaos that surrounded her. A group of people, armed with cameras were crowded near the door next to hers.
She slowed her pace, curious about the commotion. Ita's eyes scanned the area, trying to make sense of the scene before her.

Ita's curiosity was piqued. She approached one of the girls standing near the door and asked, "Excuse me, what's going on here? Why are there so many people and cameras?"

The girl, looking excited and a bit starstruck, replied, "Oh, you don't know? There's a famous singer staying in the room next to yours! We're from the media, and we received an anonymous tip that a celebrity was hiding out here."

Ita's eyes widened in surprise. "A famous singer? Who is it?"

The girl leaned in, whispering, "We're not entirely sure. The message didn't reveal their name, but we're hoping to get a scoop. We've been trying to figure out who it could be, but so far, no luck."

Ita's mind was reeling with the possibility that a celebrity was hiding in plain sight, just a door away from her own room. She couldn't believe that someone so famous couldn't even get a moment's peace, even when they were trying to keep a low profile.

As she watched the chaos unfold, Ita felt a pang of sympathy for the mysterious person behind the door. Whether or not they were a celebrity, they deserved some level of privacy and respect.

She shook her head, dismayed by the invasive nature of the media and the public's fascination with celebrities. "Can't they just leave them alone?" she thought to herself. Ita wondered if the person behind the door was feeling anxious, trapped, or even scared, knowing that they were being hunted by the press.

As the realization hit her, Ita's eyes widened in surprise. "OMG, this means I really saw a celebrity!" she exclaimed, her voice loud enough to catch the attention of the people around her.

She pretended to be disappointed, saying "Yk, I saw a few people down on the ground floor taking autographs... Shit, I missed the opportunity!" and accompanied it with a dramatic sigh.
The crowd around her immediately perked up, intrigued by her reaction. They quickly turned to her, asking "Who did you see?" and "What happened?"

Ita's plan worked, as the crowd began to disperse, hurrying downstairs to try and catch a glimpse of the celebrity. She watched them go, feeling a mix of relief and amusement.

Ita's thoughts were consumed by the memories of Rhythmic Spectrum's struggles. She had followed their journey from the beginning, and her admiration for the group went beyond their music. She respected their resilience, their dedication to their craft, and their commitment to their fans.

As she watched the crowd disperse, Ita felt a sense of satisfaction wash over her. She had helped protect the mysterious celebrity from the chaos that often came with fame. Maybe, just maybe, she had made a small difference in their life.

Ita's actions weren't solely driven by selflessness, though. She had to admit that helping someone in need filled a void within her. She couldn't be there for Rhythmic Spectrum during their tough times, but she could be there for someone else. It was a small consolation, but it was something.

As she turned to head back to her room, Ita felt a strange sense of purpose. She realized that she didn't have to be a part of the fandom to make a difference. She could be a force for good in her own way, even if it was just a small act of kindness.
Ita returned to her room, feeling a sense of fulfillment she hadn't felt in a long time. Little did she know that her actions would have a ripple effect, one that would change her life forever.
