MISA

It's just 3:00 in the morning when I started practicing. Nobody is awake except me and the guard downstairs. It is pretty dark but good thing the lights are already on.

I practiced the dance steps and my lines so that when I perform I won't make any mistakes. Especially when there is a lot of people watching you.

Yes. Being an idol is amazing but it is a lot of pressure. A lot of motivation yet a lot of criticism. Sometimes I do wanted to give up but I always think that dancing and singing are the things that makes me happy. I'm doing this not to be famous or anything. I just wanted to show the world that I can do this.

That this is my happiness.

“You're early” said by a female voice from behind.

It's Mia.

“Ah. Yes. I woke up early and I just couldn't sleep so I practice ”I explained.

Mia just smiled and put down her extra clothes and her water on the floor. She immediately do some stretching and starts to practice. Her body shape and postures are just too perfect. No wonder why Mia is the M4's visual.

“By the way. Thank you about yesterday ”Said I while my eyes are still looking at her perfect body.

“No need to thank me. The one who deserves it is the guy from yesterday ”Mia explained then smirked.

“I wish I could say thank you but I missed my chance”

“Well there's always a next time” Mia said then smiled.

“Yeah. You're right ”

I really do I could thank that person one day. He's such a miracle. I could even treat him into his favorite restaurant and buy all the meal.

Wait. That's too much. Right?

"But you know what's more interesting with that person aside from his looks?" Mia continue.

It really surprises me that Mia like someone's looks aside from her friends. He must be that handsome for Mia to noticed.

"What is it?" I asked then took a sip of water.

“Out of all the people that who are assign to deliver something here in our building, they all freak out because“ we're the M4! ” but that one guy just deliver something then go back to his business like I'm just an ordinary person ”Mia explained.

“Maybe he didn't recognized you?”

“Nope. It's pretty impossible. As I remember the lights are bright enough to see my face ”

“Hmm” the only thing I can think of to reply.

“Maybe we're not really that famous” Mia joked then giggles while covering her mouth.

I did smile but maybe she's right. We're not really that famous after all? Or maybe that guy just doesn't care? Sigh. Why do I even bother?

Time really goes fast when you are doing the things you love. It's already 8:30 in the morning. Maira and Mina already woke up. Such a sleepyheads.

Mina made a breakfast for the four of us. She is indeed good at cooking. She will be a perfect wife. Aside from having a good heart, Mina is such a beautiful lady, Her straight black hair and attractive blue eyes is just too much to handle. Ah. What a lucky partner.

“Woah. What a perfect cook of egg and bacon. I love you ”said Maira while her yellow eyes sparkles like a star.

“Yie. Thank you! ” Said Mina then gave Maira a beautiful smile.

It took us 5 to 10 minutes to finish our food. It's really good. It is beyond delicious! I wish I could cook like Mina but unfortunately I'm really bad at it. Cooking is one of my weaknesses.

I was about to head out when I saw Maira giggles. Maira is having a comfortable rest on our red sofa. I took a glimpse on what is she doing. I think she's reading something online.

"What you are you doing?" I asked.

“I'm just reading this novel online. It's really good ”Said Maira.

“Hmm? How come it is good? "

“Well aside from the mysterious author, the story is really good. Let me send it to you and give me some feedbacks when you're done ”

“Okay. I'll try reading it once Im free ”

"Sure sure"

I was about to walk once again when I heard Mina's voice.

"Where are you going?" Mina asked while pointing her finger to my shoulder.

I'm bringing my towel and extra clothes today outside.

“Oh- I'm about to go to the new hot spring near our building. Wanna join? " I asked.

“Ah right! I'll just follow you later after doing the dishes ”she answered then gave me a smile. Such a cutie.

“Alright then. I'll wait you there ”

I'm pretty confident that no one will notice me today. I look like an ordinary girl with ordinary life. I do wish sometimes that I want to go back to my normal life.

The time I got there, I can already feel how relaxing it is here. I took out my eye glasses and clothes then put it inside the locker. Everything looks so blurred but I'm pretty sure that I'm walking the right path. I covered myself with a towel.

I went straight and started to feel the hot water. From bottom to chest. It's very relaxing. The fog makes it more natural. It feels like I'm taking a bath somewhere near the forest.

Ah natu-

“Nature” A deep voice said from behind.

I couldn't see things clearly since I left my eye glasses outside. Did I messed up again?

The wave of the water is getting stronger and closer.

Ops.

I bumped into something from behind. It feels like a wall but I know it's not.

“Oh- Sorry. I didn't see you the- ”a male voice said.

As I turn around I only saw a male figure. I immediately freaked out and put myself down while covering my chest. How did get here? I'm positive that I went into the right place.

"What are you doing here?" He asked.

“What do you mean? This is the ladies pool! ” I yelled while doing my best to cover my chest.

“Aish! You need to lower your voice. You went the wrong way. It's in the other side ”he explained.

I was about to yell at him again but suddenly I heard a lot of guys coming. It was that moment I knew he's telling the truth.

I can feel my heart beating so fast. What should I do? I'm already panic-

“Stay behind me and follow my lead” He ordered while trying his best to cover me with his body.

I know it's very blurred but I know he's not looking at me. I think I can trust this guy or else- I have no other choice. Such a mess.

I tried my best not to look suspicious. Going right. Going left. Going straight. Going back. I did all of that while following him. I'm pretty sure I did it well.

Then something happened. I tripped.

"What was that?" Another guy said.

“Oh sorry. I tripped ”said the guy who's saving me.

"But you looked fine though?"

“Ah-yes. Reflexes "

The guy who's saving me is trying to give me some signal. I held his hand for him to know I'm good to go again. He sighed then started to move again.

Good thing that the people who just arrived are too busy telling each others stories. The moment I can already get out I realized my towel is missing. Where the hell the my towel go?

“Hey. What's the problem? " He asked while trying his best not to look suspicious.

“Ah- I can't find my towel” I explained while my hands are shaking.

I really thought that I he would just give up and leave me but he didn't. He just sighed for a bit and grab his towel near us.

“Take this”

"How about you?" I asked.

“I can manage my way out here later since we're all the same so- go run” He explained then I felt something warm.

I can feel his hand on my head, patting. Like I'm his little sister. I can feel my cheeks getting hot. Am I blushing?

He did try his best to give me comfort without even looking at me. Such a gentleman.

“Thank you” said I then jumped out of the pool.

The moment I got out the pool, I went straight to my locker and tried my best to change as fast as I can. The time I was about to leave I saw Mina enter the locker room.

“Let’s go home” said I.

“Eh? But I just got here”

“Trust me” Then grab her hand so that we can go out of this place.

Another mess up day.

Yet I met a good man.
