Best Friend

Chapter 5

That next morning, CRAVITY unfortunately had to continue their tour, having to leave us stranded in LA. They weren't allowed to bring us on the tour, as it could start some rumors. Alyssa and I had to find out own way back home. Before leaving, Seongmin gave me a cute goodbye kiss, and then they were on their way. Alyssa said how cute we are, and couple goals. I told her she could have the same if she could just pick one of the guys. It's not that easy, I guess. We head to the airport, bound for different cities. We hugged each other goodbye, then headed home. Well, that random trip to LA with CRAVITY was really fun. It may have only been one day, but it was worth it.

I arrive back home a few hours later. All night, Seongmin couldn't stop texting me until his show began. After his concert, the texting continued. He really loves me, and I can tell that he hates being away from me. I find it difficult to be away from him too. It's going to get especially hard when he goes all the way back home to South Korea. That is when managing our relationship will get harder. With the time difference, and me going back to school, it'll be complicated for sure.

Ah, I feel the same pain I did before. . . Seongmin has gone on tour once again, meaning he'll be too busy to keep up with my life. I may not have the most interesting life, but I like telling him what I did that day. Whether it be late at night for him, or early morning, I'm always updating him. Now that he's back on tour, he told me not to text too often, as it's distracting. They always do one last practice before going on stage. It feels like they're always practicing to make their performances perfect. It shows in their performances too. It makes me proud of them, but also sad, that I can't talk to them all the time. I understand and give them the space and time they need to do all their activities.

When I'm not bugging CRAVITY, I'm usually watching YouTube videos or writing. It's what I like to do in my free time. I also tried my hand at drawing even though I'm not that good at it. To be honest, most of my art is traced. I am guilty of it, that's for sure. Other than that, my family likes going camping every so often. It's nice getting away from the city sometimes. I see the same people every day. It's good for a change here and there. I'm sure when I finally get the chance to go to South Korea, that will be biggest scenery change. It will be a good experience though.

*A Few Months Later*
I get a random call from Seongmin.
"When's the soonest you can get to the airport?" Seongmin asked.
"Why?" I asked.
"It's for a special surprise." Seongmin said.
"I can actually leave right now." I said.
"Okay, please hurry." Seongmin said.
"Okay, okay." I said.
I packed a quick overnight bag with all my stuff going into my white backpack. I drive to the airport and waiting inside is CRAVITY. I hug Seongmin first, then the rest of the members.
"What are you guys doing here?" I asked.
"Here." Seongmin said, handing me a plane ticket.
"What is this. . . Oh." I said, reading the ticket. The ticket reads;
Passenger Name:
Raeshel Miller
From: LOS ANGELES.
To: SEOUL.
Date: 12JUL Time: 8:40 Gate: 14
Flight: F 0575 Seat: 12A Board Till: 8:10.
"You’re coming with us to Korea!" Seongmin exclaimed.
"Oh my God, no way!" I exclaimed.
"Yes, oh is that all you brought?" Jungmo asked.
"Yeah, I thought this was just another day trip." I said.
"No, no, no. Ah, our stylists will provide you with clothes. You're getting an idol makeover." Jungmo said.
"Wow. . ." I said, feeling intimidated.
"Don't worry, it will be fun." Seongmim said.
"Alright, well let me run home and get my passport then." I said.
"Go." Seongmin said.

This was so unexpected. I didn't know I would be leaving the country tomorrow. I had to fly all the way home from LA to get my passport. I grabbed it and went straight back to the airport, flying back to LA. I'm already exhausted. This is too much work for me. I guess I'll be having the most fun summer vacation of my life with CRAVITY. This should be interesting. I arrive back to LAX, and CRAVITY is patiently waiting for me. They had the pilot hold the flight while I scrambled to get my passport.

We all fly to South Korea together. Once arriving, there is a man in a suit, holding up a sign with CRAVITY written on it in English and Korean.
"Wait, what about Alyssa?" I asked.
"She'll be coming later." Minhee said.
"Alright." I said.
I get into the large, black SUV that takes all of us to Starship Entertainment. Wow, this place shaped Monsta X and CRAVITY into the groups they are today. From the very beginning to debut, it all happened here. I am shocked seeing it in person for the first time. CRAVITY leads me to their dorms where they spend their time after practices. My makeover will begin tomorrow when Alyssa gets here. We will surely be bombarded with hands on our faces, hair, and bodies, trying to give us the perfect idol look. It should be fun.
