Ayako's struggle

My life as a SM town family member

 

“Oh my god”

This was so uncool.

 

You all were practicing for you semi solo concert for the SM Town week concert and news from Japan came to your attention. Well, because it caught fire real quick. Ayako's father, aka biggest in the world, started it all.

 

Fire-5's popularity was noticeable high in all of Asia. You couldn't count how many CF offers you all got not only in Korea but outside of it as well. So your names were all over Asia to see. So obliviously Ayako's father has seen her wide success.

 

And was demanding payment from her.

 

To say you all were pissed was a understatement. First he ditches then comes back to claim her because she was so successful was dirty. Extremely dirty.

 

It all started in Japan. Her father, Chursoke Kaji, went to the media claiming that he was Ayako's father. The resemblance was undeniable. He also stated that he wasn't getting a cent from his “precious” daughter that he “cared” and “loved” so much. Also stating some other bull like she is “greedy” and “selfish” to make her side look bad. Since it became such a huge topic in Japan, and since your groups name was mentioned Korea took noticed as well. You can't explain how huge this story has gotten in only 24 hours. Phones won't stop ringing, all your sites and sns are getting exploded with thoughts and concern. And Ayako's emotional status is a wreck to top it off.

 

“What a !” Mi Kyong scoffed at the mini t.v in your practice room. Ayako had her head buried in her hands and knees while the women talked about the scandal.

“No word from Fire-5's Aya or SM Entertainment just yet. We are still awaiting a official announcement.” the women said. You shook your head.

“Man, how much bull do we need this year?” you clicked off the T.V as Eun mei and Hisu Mei cradled Ayako.

“13 years. 13 years now he decides to poke his head into my life?” Ayako sobbed. “Only to take money from me?”

“Shhh, its ok, we'll be fine.” Hisu Mei said. “We'll just shrug him off.”

“Yeah back into the rat hole he came from.” you muttered rubbing her back. Ayako lifted her tear stricken face to croak out a laugh. Ayako's phone went off to signal her family calling. Ayako ran to her phone an started to ball in Japanese. You heard 'Oka-san' and knew she was talking with her mom. Your manger walked in with a huge sigh.

“Man, you girls are killing me worst then DBSK did when they were together.” he mumbled sitting on the bench against the wall. Mi Kyong stood up.

“Can't we sue that piece of trash?” she hissed. Eun Mei stood up as well.

“What's happening now?” she asked. Your manger rubbed his eyes.

“Hyung going to by sometime while we get everything settled. We already have Ayako ah's side to hold everyone off.” he said “But he has a lawyer with him I guess.”

“But her parents got a divorce right? And he didn't claim any of them so he has no right to her.” Eun Mei said.

“Or her income.” Hisu Mei said. You hissed.

“Can't believe he came back just for money. What a ing .” you said. Eun Mei popped your mouth, surprising you.

Keep your mouth in check.” she said taking her hand back. You pouted looking away, growling under your breath.

What is sunbae saying?” Mi Kyong asked. Your manger turned back on the t.v.

Should be airing soon.” your manger said.

We just got news from SM Entertainment about hot rookie group member Aya. Let's take a look.” the man said. There stood your CEO Kim Young-min was standing infront of the building with mics around him.

At this moment in time we have no reason to affiliate ourselves with this man. This man, Chursoke Kaji, is indeed her biological father but he abandoned all rights over her when she was small so Ayako owes him nothing, we owe him nothing. We wish the issue will be over soon since this topic is hurting Aya along with her family. She owes him nothing. That is all.” short, sweet and to the point. Looks like the reports weren't satisfied but your CEO walked away with no comment. Now curiosty for a piece of Ayako's history was being craved for and you all knew that both Dispatch and the Japanese media won't stop until it was discovered and brought to light. Plus, Ayako's dead beat dad won't leave it now, there's no way he would.

 

Let's just ignore this for now.” Trey said as you all stood in a row looking at him, concern and stress on all your faces especially Ayako's. “If he keeps pushing he'll dig his own grave. Plus everyone is on your side not his. Let's practice shall we?” you all looked at each other and then Ayako. Who put on her best 'trying to smile but not really happy' smile.

Yeah, it'll take my mind off it.” she said in a strained voice. She cried all night again. You all got into position for your concert stage practice, trying not to think of Ayako's pain that effected you all so deeply.

 

Stop asking me.” you hissed at Krystal, who looked at you surprised. You gave a sigh and rubbed your eyes. “Sorry unni.” she kept asking about Ayako and her story while you ran a errand, aka water bottle filler upper. You've been constently being asked by everyone, your sunbae's, your friends, your saseng fans, even your family and have been sick of it. On top of that watching people trying to pry it out of not only you but your other members was getting irritating. Heechul once made Ayako brake down from pestering her about the topic. Not only that the media is having a field day with little pieces that Ayako was trying to keep hidden. It was starting to rub you the wrong way. Why couldn't everyone just let it be? Krystal smiled at you softly.

You must be extremely worried.” she said rubbing your hair. The soothing gestured started to calm your nerves. “Since you barked at me like that.”

I'm sorry.”

It's fine. I would act the same way.”

Omo, Ayako spoke out about it?” you heard one of the workers say.

Yeah, looks like she just posted it a hour ago!” another women said. You blinked in confusion. Did Ayako spill?

Omo, (Your name) ah! Is this true?” You and Krystal turned to look at Victoria who held up her phone to you. You put the bottle you were filling up down and looked at the site. It was your groups mini home page with paragraph pulled up on it.

 

Hello fireflies,

It's me, Aya. I know that you all got a sudden shock about the news about my father. It came as a shock to me as well. First off I would like to thank everyone for worrying about me and I'm sorry for causing such a disturbance along with the curiosity you all are dieing from. Trust me, I'm shaking while typing this. I was going to leave the topic alone after we announced that we weren't going to have nothing to do with my father. However, instead of going back to normal the issue has grown. So, here's my story. I'm not here to make you sympathize with me, but to make this all stop. I hope one this is done you all will drop the subject. It's not a pleasant memory of mine.

 

At first I was Chursoke Ayako, I lived with my Father, Mother, Older brother. We once owned a small bakery and was making a small living. It wasn't much but we were making it. As far as I could tell from my young age we were fine, happy. Then my younger sister was born, and we were still ok. Until, my father got into gambling. He gambled and gambled until he gambled away the bakery and became bankrupt. We lost out bakery, car and house all before I reached 5 years old. My mother found another job, it didn't pay well but it was income. With the little money we had my father gambled away once again. My parents fought, my eldest brother, at age 8, started to do odd jobs or beg on the street to get some more money into the house so they would stop fighting. My mother was currently pregnant with my youngest brother at this time. Suddenly, my father would go out early then come home late or not at all. None of us knew what he was doing at that time, I was to young to even understand what was happening. Then one day, we found a note on the table that explained that my father had found another women to be with, she was far richer then us and he could have a better life with her. My mother cried that day. My eldest brother was 9, I was 5, my sister was 3 and my youngest brother was two months away from being born. My mother tried to look for him and bring him back but failed. A month later he sent divorce papers that he already signed and had one of his friends pick it up for him. I've never seen or heard from him since. After that, My brother and I barely went to school but took up performing on the streets instead while my mother juggled 3 jobs while I helped raise my younger siblings. I never had a father past 5 years old.

 

There you go, this was what you all wanted right? I promise you that my scars are still around and would pray that everyone would stop trying to pick the scabs off. I'm growing tried and this is not only effecting me but my members, my family, and others around me. So please, let's not look back but move foreword. Thank you.

 

Love,

Aya.

 

(Your name)?” Krystal asked. You had tears in your eyes, tears of frustration. Ayako shouldn't of had to post this at all, he father should of never put this much stress on her or the stupid public. You shoved the phone back to FX's leader and stomped off, leaving your water bottles behind.

(Your name)!” the Fx members called out, but you kept walking, ignoring the calls out to you.

 

Now it'll be a bigger issue!” You hissed. Ayako flinched while Mi Kyong shielded her.

Yah! Leave her alone (Your name). She was just trying to make it stop.” Your rapper spat back.

Now it won't stop. Everyone going to either ask her more or use it against her! I just want her to not to be in pain anymore.” you said, your voice horse from irritation. You heard Ayako start to sniffle, knowing her water works are going to start.

I'm so sorry.” Ayako said, her voice cracking “I just.. I don't know..” she covered her face. You did it now. Mi Kyong hugged her.

Look what you did!” she started to pet your Japanese beauty. “Don't feel bad Ayako. (Your name) just lacks mental compacity of emotional turmoil.” that touched a nerve.

Emotional turmoil? I don't understand? Try growing up being called a freak and a monster all your life!” you snapped, surprising Mi Kyong. “You didn't have a women smack you for having green eyes. Or a grandpa try to drown you in holy water! Or even got death threats for playing with other children! Or your parents almost divorcing over the fact your own country hates you!”

Whoa, (Your name) ah I-”

You don't even understand anything that's going on! You lived a good happy life!”

You think my life was rainbows and butterflies!” Mi Kyong snapped back.

Sure was compared to any of ours!” Ayako crying was getting louder.

Guys, please stop!”

I have my own scars too!”

Oh yeah!? Not getting the pairs of shoes you want doesn't count!”

What in the world is going on here!?” Eun Mei's voice boomed halting all three of you. Eun Mei had her hands on her hips while Hisu Mei cowered behind her with Trey and your manger looking worried. You could tell that You and Mi Kyong were fired up and Ayako was a sobbing mess. Eun Mei walked over. “What happened?”

It's all my fault.” Ayako crouched down and cried. “It's all my fault!” both you and Mi Kyong were down too by her side.

No it's not. Please stop crying.” You said.

I'm sorry, please stop crying. You did nothing wrong.” Mi Kyong said too. Eun Mei took in a deep breath before exhaling, calming herself down by pinching the bridge of her nose. Hisu Mei hesitantly walked over, he hands balled up was she watched in caution. Trey and your manger gulped while looking at each other with worried expressions.

Eun-”

Everyone.” Eun mei voice stopped Hisu Mei in her tracks, making everyone freeze. “We all need to go for a run.” That was Eun Mei's way of calming everyone down. Running. It was suppose to get all that stress out and got everyone level headed before anyone was to talk.

 

I'm sorry. I shouldn't of yelled at you.” You said, sitting on the bench at the empty gym inside your company. Mi Kyong wiped her sweat away.

No, I was kinda being insensitive.”

You were protecting Ayako.”

Not like you were attacking her, you were just worried.” you both sat in silence for a minute. Watching your members run around. Mi Kyong leaned against you.

I hope this passes, for Ayako.” she said. You nodded.

Me too.”

 

 

After the next couple days the commotion around Ayako's family matter died down. Her father was made a fool and never spoken of again, while others gave full support to Ayako and tried to block every possible statement that tried to re spark the flame again. Ayako started to smile again, happy that the issue was slipping the mind of the public, even though you all knew that it wouldn't ever leave.

 

However, another matter over took your senses.

 

The best rookie award.

 

You all were shocked, even though it shouldn't of been a surprise that you won. Your SM family cheered you on while you all walked to the stage. Ayako, this time cried for a different reason. Eun Mei held the trophy and looked at the crowed that was cheering like crazy.

Thank you, thank you.” Eun Mei spoke in surprise before her quality leader voice came out. “This is truly a honor. Thank you so much. First, I would like to thank our company for gathering us all together. Next would be our sunbaenim's that looked after. Our familes, our friends, our stylist and all the pd nims. Taemin sunbaenim for discovering our Taeby. And lastely, our fans. Fireflies we love you! Thank you!”

Thank you!” you all bowed while everyone person cheered. You heard your groups fan chants starting.

Fire-5 Choi Eun Mei, Fire-5 Chan Hisu Mei, Fire-5 Kim Mi Kyong, Fire-5 Fuji oka Aya ko. Fire-5 Lee (Your name) sarahanyeo Fire-5!”

You looked down to see other idols chanting as well, while Taemin was giving you the proudest look you ever gotten. You smiled at him while heading back to your seat. Taemin walked to you, arms waiting to embrace you. You did. You hugged him.

I'm so proud of you.” Taemin said letting you go. You smiled at him.

Thank you.”

Fujioka Ayako! Fighting! Fujioka Ayako! Fighting!” the crowed started to cheer. “Fujioka Ayako forever! Fujioka Ayako forever! We love you Fujioka Ayako!” Ayako covered while more tears started to spill and bowed to the crowd. You smiled.

 

Support, was all you needed.

Depressing right? Sorry for no updates. Kinda feel off my own bandwagon lol. Happier chapters I swear! I'll do a small side story to make up for the depressionness ok? K!

 

Day with 95 Dancer Line.

-Cheesy pick up lines-

 

Jimin ah!” You called out while sipping on your boba. BTS charming guy Jimin waved to you as he walked to the table you were sitting at in the park you all claimed. Jimin sat across from you.

Hey (Your name) ah. So nice to see your beautiful face I the morning.” he smiled. You rolled your green eyes.

Please don't start. It won't work.”

Hey, (your name) ah, what color is that slide?” He asked. You looked at it then back at him.

Red, why?”

Oh, is it? Because after seeing you everything became black and white and your the only color in my life.” Jimin said. You gave a disgusted squeal while rubbing your arms.

Augh, so cheesy!” you said. Jimin started to laugh.

Hey guys!” Nuest JR appeared, sitting next to you. You smiled.

Hi Jonghyun.” you said. Jr nodded, laying his head in his hand and just stared at you with his charming smile.

Hey baby girl.” you sighed.

Ugh, not you too.” you smiled jokingly smacking him. JR chuckled a bit before continuing to what he was doing, Starring at you. You ignored him at first, starting to pick on Jimin a bit before you started to get uncomfortable with Jr intense stare. You turned to JR.

You haven’t blinked once! Stop starring at me like that.” you pouted. Jr just keep starring.

Want to know why I stare at you with these eyes?” he asked. You blinked.

Why?”

Because blinking would be a waste of time since I wouldn't be able to see you for a second.” he said. You gave the same squeal of disgust while both you and Jimin cringed of the cheesyness of his pick up line. You saw Teen Top Changjo walking up to you all. You smiled but then frowned when you noticed he his expression.

Jo ah, whats wrong?” you asked. Changjo sat next to Jimin and sighed.

Because you took it all.” he said. You blinked.

Took what?”

I mean, you could of left a bit but you just took it all.” cookies? Music? Cola?

What did I take?” you asked him, confused and worried. Changjo grasped your hand.

My heart. You took it all.” again, you squeal of disgust while your boys cringed with you.

Oh god! What wrong with you all today.” you said taking your hand back.

What's going on?” B.A.P's Jongup asked walking up. You smiled in relief

Ah, friend!” Jongup wouldn't be that way. “I'm so happy to see you!”

What you weren't happy to see me?” Jimin asked with a pout. You ignored him while Jongup sat to his right.

No.” you said. Jimin smiled at you.

It hurts, but since its you i'm ok with it.”

Ugh stop.” you whinned. Jongup blinked.

What's wrong?” he asked innocently. You pouted.

He won't stop. I'm about to kill him.”

Actually I think I'm the one whose dead.” Jongup said. You blinked at him confused.

Huh? Why? Are you that tired?”

No, because there's no way this is earth if a angel like you is sitting in front of me.”

Not you too!” you cried rubbing away your goosebumps. Making your 95 line laugh.
