Prompt 1: Flawless

Characters: All Idols

Setting: Entertainment Industry

 

Singing. Dancing. Acting. Modeling. Hosting.

From music albums to live concerts, historical dramas to action movies, and magazine features to product endorsements, their lives are filled with rehearsals, photoshoots, or filming. Every day is filled with a different schedule – a list of tasks to do and goals to achieve. And after one day passes, another day comes – until all the days blur together and before they know it, weeks turn into months and months turn into years.

They are entertainers; it’s what they do.

They love what they do, and their fans love them for that. The fans love everything about them – gorgeous appearances, kind personalities, and interesting traits – the idols are nothing short of flawless in most of the fans’ eyes.

But the stars themselves know better.

They are not perfect – no one is. Their image comes at the price of hours of hard work and practice, a fact that is fortunately recognized by a majority of each idol or group’s respective fandom.

They sing until their voices are hoarse, dance until their muscles ache, or act until the perfect scene or act is captured. There are the managers’ instructions that must be listened to, the company’s orders that must be followed, the media’s rumors that must be quelled, and the anti-fans’ criticism that must be faced.

No, an idol’s life is not easy

Chapter 7: Wanna know how I'm an idiot? I saw that this was updated (back when you posted the Aaron Yan chapter) but I went straight to the last chapter and was reading it like, "I thought I've read this before" O_o and then coming back and finally checking my notifications, I saw this was updated again and I went straight to the last chapter again before I finally realized my mistake XP so after reading Aaron's chapter and this one...

First off, I'm happy that you're back with this story! ^_^

I've never heard of Bella Yao so I had to look her up but this was still devastating to read. But I like how you were able to help us visualize her final moments. this was so touching.
