To People's Irony [A Natsuki Shinomiya x Reader Fanfiction]

Chapter 2

          When I opened the door to my house, I was welcomed by my dog, a Shiba Inu, Oliver. He's tiny, adorable, and loving. He always greets me when I get home and cuddles with me when I'm sitting down or laying down. He always makes my day and makes my life brighter.

          "Hello my handsome beast. Were you a good boy while I was gone?"

          As I went to hug him, he licked my face as if he's trying to cheer me up. Then, he ran over to his bed. I went to make myself something to eat and turned on the TV to see an interview with STARISH. I quickly sat on the couch to watch.

          STARISH was a famous, boy, idol group. Ever since that day, things became worse. My mother was in the hospital for a tumor in her eye, we couldn't pay for my college tuition, and my friend betrayed me by going out with my ex. Talk about bad luck. I was depressed because all of this was happening, and I wasn't sure if I could handle it anymore.

         That was until my big sister who was in the UK for school, sent me videos of STARISH. When I listened to their songs, I felt happy. Their songs made me feel alive again,that I could accomplish anything, that everything was going to be okay. I fell in love with their music, and became a big fan.

          As I sat their eating my food, the interviewer asked his first question.

         "So it's been a few years since your debut. Do you think you guys have improved in anything since then?"

           Tokiya Ichinose was the first of the members to speak.

           "We have improved on a lot since we have debuted. We've never been as in sync as we are now."

           "We have all improved individually, but as a team we have improved immensely," Ittoki Otoya said, grinning from ear to ear.

            "That's good to hear! It's great to have such hardworking men. What have you each learned from improving?"

            "Well, we've learned how to work as a team. That if one of us holds us back, we all fall together," Syo Kurusu said.

             "We also learned that if we work hard, think of happy things, and never give up, we can accomplish anything," Natsuki Shinomiya said as he smiled brightly at the interviewer.

              "How inspirational! So your improvement has taught you a lot."

               "Yes, it has," Hijirikawa Masato said while nodding in agreement.

               "So, I heard from my sources that you guys have a new project coming up. A project that involves playing a song portraying a different feeling. What are your thoughts on it?"

                 "We know it'll be difficult, since we're trying to portray different feelings of emotion in each song," Ren Jinguji said.

                 "We each have to portray a feeling that only each of us can show. Something only we can do," Cecil Aijima explained.

                 "Our end results have to be different. It's a little different than songs that we've worked on before," Masato included.

                 "How will it be different from things that you've worked on before?" the Interviewer continued.

                 "You see, we'll be assigned a specific feeling, so we won't know which kind of feeling we'll be putting into our songs," Otoya said.

                  "It'll help us broaden our musical horizons, so to speak," Ichinose said.

                  "Well, that is interesting. Do you guys think you'll be able to pull it off?"

                   All of the members nodded in agreement.

                  "Of course! It doesn't matter how difficult it is, we'll accomplish it together," Shinomiya said enthusiastically. Typical Shinomiya.

                  "As a team!" Otoya included.

                  "How splendid. I hope things will turn out well. We all do."

                  The audience applauded in the background to cheer them on as if in agreement.

                  All of the members smiled at their fans, making them cheer and swoon even more.

                 "Thank you," Ichinose said.

                  The interviewer turned to look at the camera after STARISH got up from their seats.

                   "Well everyone, that's all the questions we have so far. Next, we'll have a competition between the members, after the break."

                    After she said that, Shinomiya's Pyo-chan commercial came on. I watched it for a little while, then turned off the TV.

                   Watching their interviews, commercials, shows, and concerts always made my day. Of course they are the cheesiest guys I've ever seen that practically ooze positive energy twenty-four-seven. Although, those are their best qualities. I've always wished that I could go their live concerts someday.

                  I got ready for bed, turned on my alarm, and put my headphones on to listen to one of Shinomiya's solos. I don't know why, but I felt some sort of connection to Shinomiya's music. I felt like we had something in common, but I didn't know exactly what. Maybe I was just being delusional, or maybe I'm just downright crazy. As I listened to his soothing voice, I fell asleep.
