{Instagram, MARIA: Happy birthday to me! My day with four pictures! (4-picture-set)}

The first picture is of Maria waking up; the picture lets you see a bed, and somewhere in it is Maria – probably somewhere under the four ladies lying on top of her. There is a lot of movement in the picture.

The second picture is of Maria on the set; the picture is of a classroom, with a bunch of school-dressed students sitting on the floor, all with their hands up in the air and looking to be shouting something, and in the middle, Maria is sitting with a satisfied smile. No one will know how much time it took for her to make everyone do it for her – and in the back you can see Emelia and actor Takaki Yuya having one hand up in the air and the other one is playing rock-paper-scissors, always rebelling. Either way, Maria is in the centre.

The third picture is taken during dinner; Maria is sitting with a tiara and preparing to blow out candles for a cake, surrounded by people around the table all waiting to eat. It looks calm and like a real birthday celebration. The other ladies are spotted sitting there too.

And the fourth picture is taken of the birthday party; You can see it is a dance-floor and a lot of movement, but the picture is focusing on Maria in her birthday tiara and she has her hands in the air, dancing hard along with Hannah next to her and some others. Fans will probably have a lot of fun with the picture, writing ‘dance hard’ and other fun things. They look to be partying hard.

{Instagram, MARIA: May your awesome birthday end like mine (picture)}

In the final picture now, Maria is sitting in a sofa with a long slim leg crossed over the other, revealing the super high heels she is wearing and she is wearing a pair of high-waist shorts and a long-sleeve blouse tugged in. She has her hand in her hair, leaning back in the seat with eyes closed and looking to be asleep, also in the sofa is the other ladies who are just as knocked out as she is, having legs over each other and Hannah crawled in to sleep on Emelia’s shoulder and Julia is even leaning forward to sleep on Emelia’s legs. Exhaustion is the word describing it.

 

Maria’s morning began when she heard people singing the birthday song in English. Carolina ruined it by singing in Korean at first but then followed up loudly in English, and just when Maria turned around to start yelling at them that it is too early in the morning for this crap, someone lied down on top of her. And then another one, and another one, and another one jumped, doing a sandwich with Maria at the bottom shouting her self hoarse, trying to get them away. Manager Lim was busy taking a picture of it, and their puppies were barking along the singing.

The ride to the airport went well, and going to Japan went well too. The moment they arrived on set there, Maria started to boast about this being her birthday.

“Today is my day!” she called out the whole day to everyone, calling her members and managers for slaves and saying she is the ultimate captain. To the friends acting in the drama she went on all day talking about her day, her rules, and even getting ice-cream, shouting out to the staff that they have her to thank for it.

But it isn’t just Maria. Everyone else are teasing her too for getting older, asking what she wants to do now when she is old and other questions and pushing her around just because it is her day.

Haruma Miura, the great actor who plays Maria’s love-interest in the drama – an older student, the old friend – was the one targeting Maria the most out of the cast and when filming a scene together they took a picture too, and Haruma couldn’t stop poking her on the cheek.

“Because today is your day, right?” he charmingly told her with a smile.

Maria let him do it because she has a crush on him. But once Carolina tried it out, she was chased away with a shoe flying after her.

“Only pretty buys can poke me!” Maria had shouted after her as a warning. Carolina was pretending to sit down and cry at Hannah, saying she just wants to make the birthday girl laugh.

And there it started. Hannah and Carolina together started to make funny faces behind Maria’s back to begin with, it was Carolina’s idea but Hannah wondered how they would make Maria laugh that way because they were the only ones laughing. So the two of them started during lunch to talk about funny memories (Maria’s mistakes, Maria’s tripping, Maria’s funny quotes and stories) to the crew so Maria can hear, but rather than making her laugh they made her upset because they bring up a lot of things about Maria and Kwon Hyunsuk, or that she pats male idol’s butts all the time, and Maria gets embarrassed because Haruma Miura is there.

“What should we do then?” Carolina pouted after lunch, moving her arms back and forth. Hannah shrugged her shoulders, pouting too.

“To make Maria happy, you have to be her slave,” Emelia helped out when walking by them.

Hannah and Carolina both stopped with their mouths open, turning to each other. “That’s it!”

And that was when they were ruined. Hannah sat down next to Maria with a big smile.

“Do you want me to get you some water?” Hannah asked with an overdoing smile.

“I’m fine.”

“Do you want anything else?”

Maria isn’t stupid, so she smiled back and said she wanted some fruit. Hannah went to get it. She then had to go get a blanket so Maria could sit on it, followed by going to get another fruit, a different fruit, for Hannah to ask a question to the staff, for Hannah to walk up and down the stairs, later getting water, changing it to lemon water, go chase a fly, wave a fan at Maria. Carolina had to do the things too as Hannah made her do it. But the worst part was when Maria wanted a memorable picture to put up on instagram. Maria had wondered for some time what kind of picture she wanted to take, and she came up with the perfect picture. She made Hannah and Carolina make everyone else agree on it. A few agreed after a while during the break, but no one really wanted to do it. it took over two hours (because they were filming too) before Hannah had enough.

“Carolina is paying for ice-cream to everyone joining up for Maria’s picture!” she shouted out to the classroom where they were filming, and everyone agreed to it. Takaki Yuya and a few others wanted two ice-creams just because they had to sit on the floor and put their hands up in the air, following Maria’s sick I-am-me-princess theme.

Hannah and Carolina had to pay for all the ice-cream, and Maria called out to everyone that it is thanks to her they got the ice-cream. And Emelia was just laughing at them.

“Being Maria’s slave is no good, no, no,” Emelia said with her finger going back and forth. “That you never learn.”

They filmed a lot for the rest of the day, and Maria kept talking about the party they were going to have tonight. She was looking forward to it. Everyone on set was invited.

When going to eat dinner she walked with the ladies at first, but was stopped by their manager to just tell her about tonight’s location, which Maria found useless because she won’t be the one driving there. She walked with the manager up the stairs to the room they eat in, checking her cell phone where birthday messages had been coming in during the day and she follows her manager inside, not noticing the silence.

A pop made her scream out and look up, her eyes big when seeing her members and cameras filming for their ‘Stories from Japan’ Birthday Disc 4, and the pop she had heard came from birthday crackers. She laughed when they sang for her and showed the birthday cake on the table; a princess cake, with Maria’s name on it and candles showing the number 21 on it. Maria couldn’t stop laughing at first, hiding behind her cell phone until their manager took the cell phone away because it is ruined the filming and Hannah put on a tiara on the birthday child.

“I didn’t expect this,” Maria laughed, teary once the singing was done and the ladies were loudly, brightly telling her to make a wish. “I wish I will live a good and healthy life!”

“Ey…” Carolina whined over the selfish wish.

Maria laughed. “With the people I love!” she finished her wish and blew out the candles with the ladies cheering.

“Happy birthday, Captain!” Emelia laughed loudly, followed by cake smeared on Maria’s forehead.

“You are ruining my perfect make-up! Ya!” Maria pushed Carolina’s finger away, the cake was smeared on the chair instead because of Carolina’s overdoing movements. Maria hugged the ladies and she was smiling to the cameras and even patting her fingers below her eyes to pretend she was crying.

After finishing the day’s schedule late in the evening, they changed clothes and went to the party: Drinking and dancing but most of all having a blast with the ladies and crew. Once that ended they lied down in a sofa while waiting for the van to pick them up, and they went home to sleep.

Hannah uploaded a picture on twitter of herself with Maria (who had a tiara on at that time) that she took during the day, wishing the birthday kid a happy birthday for everyone to see.

“I’m not having my birthday again…”

“You still have to attend mine.”

“I don’t have to attend it.”

“I’m attending it.”

“Just shut up,” Emelia breathes out and hides her ears behind her hands, not able to take the low talking in the van.

Hannah is smiling at the ladies. “I’m feeling just fine,” Hannah tells them and she is holding in her laughter when she receives tired glares from the ladies. Carolina doesn’t glare. The thing is that they drank too much yesterday, not Hannah and Carolina though – Carolina doesn’t drink and Hannah isn’t allowed to drink at the moment. Everyone had a great time, but they are a bit hangover. Hannah remembers how Maria was dancing so wildly that one person after another got tired and had to go sit down for a bit, so you could say Maria danced with a lot of people last night, everyone taking turn to dance around her.

Manager Kawayama Tara stops the van behind another van; parking at this morning’s filming location. The ladies are all dressed in their school uniforms (which they have gotten used to wear by now) and are ready for today’s filming beside from their tired minds.

“Today’s guests are already filming,” Hannah can hear Manager Song say when he opens the side-door on Hannah’s side and the youngest girl turns to look at Carolina.

“Should we go watch?”

Carolina doesn’t want to go. She maybe didn’t drink yesterday but she is still not a morning person. Julia says she can come along, and the two of them go instead. Hannah is wearing a jacket over her uniform and Julia is walking like a zombie next to her, arms linked when following their manager over to the small road where the guests are filming, but there are cameras filming behind-the-scenes too, even filming the two ladies when they are making their way over. Today’s guests will have a special appearance in the mini-drama, playing another rebellious group from an old foreign Japanese school that the ladies are supposed to have gone to earlier.

Hannah and Julia stand behind the staff filming, greeting a few of them who notices them, but stays in the back to watch their juniors’ film. They don’t film any conversations, just coolly walking down the street in different angles. The two girls in the back can’t stop smiling when watching them.

The boys filming are no one else than EXO. All twelve members are in school uniforms and they look really cool on Tokyo’s street, during the filming looking really cool and charismatic but the time in between the filming they look confused and awkward. A camera filming behind-the-scenes comes up to the two girls as soon as the camera-man sees them.

“They came all the way here from their busy schedule in Korea,” Julia says and gives the thumbs up, talking in a low voice to not interrupt the drama filming. “Our EXO juniors are always hard working.”

Hannah smiles at those words, hearing that her friend is proud when talking about the kids in front of them. But she can understand that. Their juniors are doing really great with their [Wolf] comeback and now they are doing well filming for 5 Pieces’ drama. Hannah giggles when seeing Kai dancing when the boys are heading back to film the scene again. She gets serious when they begin filming again, trying to see if they do well or bad, what they could do better.

The scene is done and the twelve boys walk to the side to see how it went on a little screen. The director watches it too, and the two ladies hurry up next to them to see how it goes. Hannah peeks out above Sehun’s shoulder, spotting the screen to see how the scene turned out. They look tough in the scene, but for Hannah who knows them it feels awkward.

“That’s okay,” the director is satisfied, talking in Japanese.

“Well done,” Hannah smiles when Baekhyun raises a hand for her to get a high-five. The boys are stepping back a little, all of them noticing the two girls.

“We are on your acting level, aren’t we?” Baekhyun is joking around about their acting, pointing at Hannah happily. She laughs, not really saying anything in response.

Stylists and managers are putting jackets on the boys, beside on Tao and Lay who are laughing and jumping around further away, excited for some reason. Chanyeol laughs at something Julia told him. They are a bunch of kids, Hannah thinks with a smile. She feels so old all of a sudden, because she doesn’t fool around with them. Instead she goes to the director to listen when he talks about the next scene they will film. He pats her on the back, asking if they all are here now so they can continue filming right away once they have shifted position of the cameras. Hannah nods and ends up going to get the other ladies who are half-asleep in the van.

Tiredly they walk with Hannah and their managers to the set, and when coming up to the EXO members Maria lazily dances to their song [Wolf]. Chanyeol brightly does it when she does it, happy to see 5 Pieces liking their song even in Japan.

“Good morning,” the ladies greet the staff in Japanese, laughing a little too because most of them were at the party yesterday. The ladies are smiling nonstop now, shifting from Japanese to Korean depending on who they are talking to.

They will film it when 5 Pieces meet EXO accidentally on the street, first getting a surprise as it was a while since they saw each other last time, and then they will have a fight. But the fight will be at another location.

“If we could start by filming 5 Pieces from behind,” the director starts pointing for them to take their positions. The EXO children (Maria calls them children in Japanese) have their own translator who translates the directions to Korean and the Korean members of the group get to explain more to the Chinese members a bit. The ladies are just smiling when that happens. They have been in that situation too.

Emelia corrects the boys’ Japanese lines too, so they pronounce the Japanese words better. She even rushes away form her position to stand with the ladies over the three meters to where EXO are standing in a cluster, looking at the papers Kris is holding.

 

“Welcome to 5 Pieces’ drama filming,” Julia says to a camera filming for some Korean entertainment news when they have reached the second location, and Julia smiles up at her side when Chanyeol and Tao steps up closely on her side to be seen too and she finishes off saying “featuring EXO” sweetly.

They are by a bridge near the river with a basketball field next too, and while the cameras are being put on place, the ladies and EXO are goofing around. Lay and Kai keep pretending to play basketball with Carolina, but with an invincible ball – it’s impressing how fun they can have doing that. Chen ruins the game at first when he is just standing there, spacing out and being in the way, until they pushes him for him to join them.

The sun is shining brightly above them, making them all tired quickly when they are goofing around. Hannah lets her tongue out and pulls her school jacket down her shoulders, wearing a white short-sleeve blouse underneath. She smiles at Kai when seeing he smiles at her, pulling up her jacket again.

“You really don’t have school uniforms in Sweden?” he asks, as he had heard them talk about it at the earlier location.

Hannah laughs lightly and nods, putting up her palms when he playfully takes up his fists. They are going to do a fighting-scene, so it is for fun he hits her palms. “No uniforms in Sweden. Does it sound tempting?”

Kai does a handsome nod to the side, smiling and raising his eyebrows. “I have finished school.”

“Oh,” Hannah sounds surprised, hitting his palms when he shows them for her. “Are you that old already?”

He chuckles at her, then gasping when she accidentally hits him a little too hard.

“Sorry!” Hannah laughs, holding on to her hands with a grimace.

“I’m not old,” Kai tells her while rubbing his palm. “And you’re older than me.”

“Don’t remind me,” Hannah punches his palm harder this time, making a face when walking by him, hitting his shoulder too, “Older and wiser then.”

He makes a funny laugh, maybe not agreeing completely on what she says, and h walks after her to where the others are gathering to start prepare for the filming.

When just practicing the scene, there is no holding back. Even when they are practicing just the lines, they can’t hold back to try out fighting, pretending to hit each other and fly away from the punch… It is crazy. Xiumin is looking adorable when pretending to kick in Hannah’s direction and Hannah is laughing at him; Julia, Sehun and Baekhyun are waving their hands towards each other like real little girls. The only one seriously showing real fighting moves is Tao, but he has no one to fight against because Emelia is standing and trying to direct Chen and Lay of how to do fighting-scenes, Carolina is actually getting help by Kris on how to throw a good punch and D.O is trying to imitate next to them and Maria is in another world telling Luhan and Suho about her awesome birthday. Kai and Chanyeol are two stupid boys pretending to fight each other, because they have no one else to fight.

Since it is all just practice, the staff is easy on them. It gets louder when Baekhyun moves to give Chanyeol a kick on the and when Chanyeol is going to hit back he accidentally hits Luhan on the back so he stumbles on Maria and the captain starts to run and shout, pushing others to join her in catching Chanyeol. He laughs and screams when trying to run away from them, and when calling out that Baekhyun started it, his friend has to start running too.

“Hey! Hey! Don’t run too far!” managers calls from behind when Chanyeol is running over the road and four of the others stops.

“Ya!” Maria points over at him to come back.

“It is Baekhyun’s fault!” Chanyeol laughs, pointing somewhere else.

Maria is a frightening senior. She has scary mood-swings and she never hesitates to hit someone, or somehow scare you. Chanyeol is of the same age, but it is still … she is scary. Hannah hurries up after them, pulling Tao and Sehun with her back to the others.

“Don’t join Maria,” Hannah mutters to them both. Tao says it would be fun to punish Chanyeol – Maria’s style – while Sehun apologizes to Hannah in a fun way.

“Always ruining the fun,” Kai shakes his head when they come back, looking at Hannah as if she is the one ruining the fun. She glares at him just briefly, hearing the director calling out loudly if they want to practice it more seriously this time.

It is really hot filming the fighting-scene with EXO. They are outdoors the whole time, practicing and filming the fighting-scene and the talk solving afterwards, and they also film them relaxing by the river, becoming friends. It takes a long time to film and between the filming when they aren’t practicing – the fighting scenes take the most time because they need to focus on each person with the cameras and take it from different angles – they are talking to the camera filming for Korea, the ladies praising their juniors who have made a comeback with [Wolf] and EXO is praising their seniors, and they are resting in the vans and under umbrellas to hide from the sun. All of them keep taking off their jackets when they aren’t filming, sighing whenever they have to put it back on because it is hot.

“Thank you!” EXO are all shouting out loudly once the filming is done. It is lunch-time now, and even 5 Pieces have some time before the next filming. The ladies are applauding for the boys’ hard work and the director and staff is being thanked for their hard work too. Just a few of the EXO members will film after lunch too, so most of them are saying this is their last filming after spending half of the day here.

“I’m dying,” Julia tells Hannah, breathing out on her own hand, “even my breath is sand… And I still have a hangover. This weather .”

“Senior, you surely complain a lot,” Sehun lisps on her other side.

Julia nods with a sigh. “Wait five years and you will do it too.”

“He is already doing it,” Suho chuckles, patting Sehun on his arm to get his attention. Hannah grimaces when they whisper to each other, she also sees Luhan waving to Tao. Something is going on.

Tao pokes his finger on Maria’s arm. “Nuna,” he says in a cute voice, making Maria turn around, “Happy birthday in … arrears.”

You can hear that he has practiced to say it in Korean, and Maria is about to ask if he has a present for her when water starts running down her hair. Tao starts to jump and laugh, clapping his hands together happily when seeing Maria’s reaction for getting water over her.

Hannah laughs in shock, her jaw drops and she turns around to make sure no one is going to do it on her. Sehun is standing with a cup of water in his hand, having it raised a bit but he stops when Hannah turns around. Caught in action. Sehun looks terrified when he is caught and Hannah simply hits his hand so the water in his cup splashes down on his face, a little on the side. Carolina screams when she gets water on her too and Julia squeals when trying to fight Suho to not get water on her too.

“You dare!” Emelia’s low voice is heard, and they all know what will happen now.

Hannah hurries over to a table to take a fresh bottle of water, pushing Kai away when he is getting one too and when he stretches for a bottle she opens her to pour over the back of his head, and she runs away when he stands up straight with his own bottle. Maria is picking up grass to throw at the boys while the ladies and some of them get more water to throw at each other, and Hannah is running and laughing with Kai after her. Luhan suddenly appears in front of her and she tries to avoid it but he grabs her arm and Kai comes up to pour water over her while she is trying to pour the rest of her water on both Kai and Luhan. When her bottle is over she is jumping, water dripping down on her clothes and she tries to grab Kai’s bottle.

An evil laugh is heard nearby just before Kai gives a jump and screams out in surprise; Emelia is standing behind him, pouring water over him and she throws some at Luhan too.

Hannah laughs, grabbing Kai’s bottle and they are fighting over it. It is chaos at the set! Some of the staff is joining too, and it is a complete playground.

“‘Don’t. Just don’t even try’,” Emelia shakes her head with a sigh, speaking Japanese and acting cool.

“That doesn’t work, again,” Maria waves her hand at her and Emelia glares at her. Maria waves her hand again. “No.”

“Yes.”

“Please don’t start,” Hannah whispers to them both.

The ladies are again filming, currently practicing their lines for the scene. Actor Mokomichi Hayami is there with them, the actor who played with Hannah in her Japanese drama a few years back, the probably only Japanese actor she is still friends with. As a favour he agreed on being part of this mini-drama, and the directors and crew all wanted him on it because it is like a reunion between him and Hannah from their previous drama together. But in this drama he plays an older outsider, and he is Carolina’s love interest – though their story isn’t much of a love-story but more of a friendship you can’t avoid to ship. He is now lying down in a sofa, practicing the lines with the ladies, and he is smiling at the ladies who never stop bickering to each other about most of all their way to deliver lines.

“Why isn’t Carolina back?” actor Takaki Yuya ask them with a glance around the room, also sitting with them as he too is going to film.

Hannah gets up, saying she will go look. She pushes Hayami’s foot away when he jokes by putting it out in front of her and she leaves the room with a smile, searching for the bathroom where Carolina is supposed to be.

“Carolina,” Hannah cutely says her friend’s name when stepping up next to Carolina by the window, “what are you doing?”

Carolina looks at her with a sigh; it is obvious she was in other thoughts, and Hannah waits patiently to hear what her friend has on her mind. “I’m the only one not having anything to do this summer,” Carolina answers sadly, looking down at her hands where she is holding their manager’s tablet that shows how he is putting in the ladies’ schedules. Hannah looks confused by the words though.

“What are you talking about? We got a concert coming up next month, we got the new Japanese single going on, and it’s Life of Pieces too…”

“Not that. Individual schedule; I got nothing. Emelia is talking about releasing another solo single in Japan, Julia got the single that was supposed to be mine, and Maria is preparing an album. And you, you have your book coming out. I don’t have anything to do…” Carolina is sighing.

It is rare for Carolina to complain, or to not be in a good mood, so Hannah is pouting at her. Carolina doesn’t like that she got hurt during their arena tour as it made her loose the chance to make a solo debut and now when going through the schedules she has noticed that all of the ladies have something going on outside the group beside from her. Hannah puts her arms around Carolina’s arm, resting her head on her friend’s shoulder.

“You make it sound as if our solo activities are more important than our group activities,” Hannah tells her in a low voice. “Those things are just side projects. What all of us really care about is the concert, which all five of us will do together, right?”

Carolina makes a low laughing sound, smiling at their youngest trying to make her feel better. “We are the best together as five, true…”

“And besides, our fans are all looking forward to see 5 Pieces as five again, back together with our brightest mascot.”

“I’ll feel much better when I can stand on stage with everyone again,” Carolina nods. It is easy to change Carolina’s mind, and it makes Hannah smile.

“Exactly. So why don’t we work our best on this drama and practice hard to promote our single together?”

“Let’s do that,” Carolina smiles.

Hannah laughs when Carolina moves to hug her, her friend jumping while Hannah tries to get out of the hug. “Pieces of one,” Hannah tells Carolina when raising her hand.

“We are 5 Pieces!” Carolina cheers and gives her a high five brightly.

They walk to the others with big smiles. Hannah can understand her friend. Last year, Julia had no schedule for a while and she was going insane just walking around at home. Carolina is upset with that her own solo debut is cancelled this year because of her leg injury, and that she has no other thing on her schedule. Last year and previously she has had variety shows and radio programs almost every day when she hasn’t had schedules with 5 Pieces, so she feels a little lost not having that to come back too. Carolina is also lost in Japan. She isn’t so good at neither Japanese, nor acting for that matter, and she has a lot of fun as long she doesn’t make mistakes. A perfectionist; whenever something is a little tone off, she has to do it again and her mood changes at those times.

“Did you get lost?” Takaki Yuya jokes with them when they return. Carolina just smiles weakly. Hannah doesn’t know if it is because she doesn’t understand what he says or it is because she is still a little upset.

“We were just admiring the weather,” Hannah answers him, also joking.

“Yeah sure, it’s not every day it rains,” Hayami teases and she reaches her tongue out at him. He laughs and sits up to not take up three seats on his own. Carolina grabs Hannah’s arm to make her sit down in the sofa with her, between Carolina and Hayami. Carolina is actually worse than Hannah when it comes to being around boys.

They continue to work on their lines, practicing and correcting each other, the ladies getting help from the Japanese actors sitting there with them. Hannah looks up from Hayami’s papers when something flashes, and she sees their drama-photographer is there (he takes making-the-film pictures for a drama photo-book later) and when everyone notices him he takes another picture of them smiling at the camera. In the photo-book it will simply read they are practicing their lines. Hannah and Hayami had taken a picture on their first day filming too, just to make it a memory in the photo book that it is a reunion for these two.
