  "痛い..."

  You woke up and realized you fell off the bed while you were having a good sleep. "今何時ですか...?" You checked the time on your phone, and it's only 6:30 AM. "Gotta wake up... and eat breakfast... and go to the music studio to meet utaites..." You hazily stood up and headed to the bathroom, took a quick shower, brushed your teeth, and changed. Then you walked to the kitchen, opened your fridge, and realized...

  "WAIT, SINCE WHEN DID I RUN OUT OF FOOD SUPPLY?!" You screamed at your empty fridge. It was still full of food a few days ago! You sighed and grabbed all the things you needed today, stuffed it into your bag, and stepped out of your house. Once you got out of your apartment, you walked across the street to the convenience store. You plan on buying a sandwich for a quick breakfast.

  You walked to the sandwich section when you saw a familiar figure standing there, picking a sandwich as well. He still has his mask on. "Eh... you're here as well?" You asked while picking a sandwich. "Ah, it's you," the hoodie guy said while taking the last tuna-flavored sandwich, "おはよう~" "はい、おはようございます!" You replied. Wait, since when did I become so polite to a person I just met half a day ago?! "Wait, I wanted that tuna sandwich..." You muttered after the guy took the last one. "Then you can have it," he handed the last tuna sandwich to you, "Ehhh?! It's fine, if you want it you can just have it," you shook your head. "Nah, just take it." The guy put the sandwich in your hands. That's when you realized his hand is really soft and white. It's so cute, you thought. Wait, why am I getting weird ideas for a stranger? Y/N, you need to stop!!! "I'll just take the egg-flavored one," the guy said while taking the egg-flavored sandwich. "Thanks..." you said while looking at your sandwich. You stood there for a good while. "You're not paying?" The guy cut your thoughts. You turned around and saw the guy already at the cashier. "EHH, WHAT, YES I AM, I WAS JUST, UM, THINKING ABOUT THINGS....?" You stammered. After you paid for the sandwich, you walked out with the guy while eating. "おいしね~" you said happily while eating. Then you thought of something important. "Wait, I think I'll be late!" you checked the time on your phone and realized it's already 7:30 AM, and you're supposed to meet the utaites at the music studio at 8:00, plus the MRT (subway) ride takes about 15 minutes. "To where?" The guy asked. "UHH, TO UM, THIS MUSIC STUDIO, SINCE LIKE, I'LL BE MEETING PEOPLE THERE..., I MEAN, THOSE PEOPLE ARE LIKE, COLLABORATING SO THEY MEET THERE AND I'M THE ILLUSTRATOR SO YEA" You're not sure if it's safe to tell him everything so you kind of told him. "Oh," the guy simply said, "that music studio? Great, as I'm going there as well." "Wait whaaaaaaaaat," you stared at him, "coincidence?" "Hmmmm," the guy showed you his phone, "look, I even have the producer's contacts. So stop thinking me as a crazy stalker." "Eh?! Sorry..." you looked down on the ground. "Then... we should probably get going or those people will scold us badly," he said.

  "Ok... I'm out of breath, stop for a second..."

  "Eh? But, your builds are better... I mean, you're taller than me!!"

  "Who gave you the idea of 'taller people have better strength'??!!"

  "Uhhhh, it's my, weird common sense....?"

  "Seriously...."

  You stared at him. "Then if you need air, take your mask off," "Don't think so. We're still in the public. I'll take it off in the studio." He replied. Is he... an utaite?? You thought. "Hey, are you—" before you asked your question, the guy stopped walking, and you almost bumped into him. "Wait, what—" "We're here." You looked up and saw a modern-design building. "Woah... this design is amazing..." You couldn't help but stare. "Let's go," he said, "you can stare at the building after work, ok?" "O-ok..."

  Once you guys walked into the studio, everyone— Like, literally everyone— stared at you guys. What's so interesting about us? Why is everyone staring at us? You thought. Then you hear a familiar voice. "Hey~~Right here!!" You saw a guy with milky-tea-brown colored hair waving. NO WAY, IS THAT, MAFUMAFU?!?! Your mind suddenly went blank. I'm meeting Mafumafu, I'm meeting Mafumafu, I'm meeting Mafumafu— "You don't have to scream this loud, I can see that you're there, I'm not blind," the guy replied. Mafumafu gave a big smile at the guy. "But, you're late!!! Did you oversleep again?" "No, more like, I took too much time eating breakfast," the guy replied. Mafu laughed at the guy's reply. Then he looked at me. "Oh, nice to meet you, I think you're the person who's gonna draw our MV thing? I'm Mafumafu, just call me Mafu, or Mafu-kun, whatever you like~" Mafu said enthusiastically. "Ok! My name is Y/N. よろしくおねがいします!" "こちらこそ~" Mafu smiled. "Do you guys know that we're blocking the doorway? Get inside, 鏡見て失神P." "You old man!! Don't call me Looked into the Mirror and Swooned P!!!" "Old man?? Have some respect to your elders." "Help~There's an old man called Soraru bullying me~" Wait. I didn't hear the name wrong right? Mafu-san clearly said "Soraru" right? Then, this person— "Yea yea, whatever," Soraru said while putting down his bag and taking his mask off, "there's a kid called Mafu screaming at an old man." "Hmmmm, it looks like Y/N-chan is very confused at our conversation right here," Mafu suddenly turned to you. "Plus, the real question I should be asking, why did you guys arrive here together?" "Ehhhh," Soraru stared at Mafu, "we bumped into each other in the convenience store." You nodded, then you can't help but ask. "So, this guy, who almost got into a car accident, who lives upstairs in my apartment, who's tall but sucks at running, is, like, the legendary utaite, Soraru???!!!" You couldn't believe it. "Pfffft, legendary utaite? What is Soraru to you, Y/N-chan?? Him? Legendary?" Mafu couldn't hold his laughter. "Oi, what about you, does anyone call you a 'legendary utaite'? If not, then just admit that I'm a better utaite~" Soraru looked at Mafu, making this weird joke. "...ha... I'm sorry... www..." Then Mafu suddenly thought of something so he straightened up. "Wait, according to Y/N-chan's words, you almost got into a car accident??!!! Soraruuuuuuuuu, you know that if you die I'm going to mentally die too right?!?!?!" Mafu pouted at Soraru. So cute, you thought. SoraMafu forever~ "But I'm right here, I'm not dead, I'm perfectly alive, so, stop it," Soraru kind of blushed a bit when Mafu patted his head. "Ahhhh, good kid, good kid— Ow." "Mafu, I am older than you, so, stop that, please, I beg you, there are people here watching." Soraru stepped away. THAT'S SO CUTE, THE WAY SORARU BLUSHED, I— wanna jump right into his arms and hug him... WAIT, Y/N, YOU NEED TO STOP THINKING ABOUT THOSE THINGS!!! You shook your head a lot of times that it caught the attention of Soraru. "Y/N, what are you doing," he asked. SORARU-SAN JUST CALLED MY NAME HE JUST CALLED MY NAME HE JUST CALLED MY NAME— "EHHH? UM, NOTHING... I think that we need to actually start working... I mean, we three are the only ones who are chatting!! Look at all the others..." "That's true," Soraru replied while walking toward a guitar, "Mafu, get your things ready, we need to finish the last part of the song," "Yesssss," Mafu said happily.

[Time skip - after 2 hours]

  You can't help but look up several times at those 2— members of After the Rain— and super famous utaites themselves. Meanwhile, you're drawing the illustrations for their new song's MV, and those 2 are fixing some parts of the song and arranging it. I love my life, you thought.
