Chapter 23: What a day!

“Can I hug you?” I told Jinyoung.

I didn’t wait for his response and hugged him so tight.

“Kyaaaaaa!”

“Yah, Rhianne-a, I can’t breathe. You’re hugging me too tight.” he said.

I let go of my hug to him and smiled widely. Then Jinyoung pretended to cough as if he really can’t breathe.

“You’re really an actor.” I said. “Tss.”

Jinyoung smiled at me and put his arms around my shoulder.

“It seems like someone is very happy today.” Jinyoung teasingly said to me.

I smiled at him.

“Yah, are you going to smile the whole night? Won’t you tell me a thing?” he said.

“I’ll tell you but you have to tell me something too. How’s our moving on process there?” I asked him.

“Ah, about that? I don’t know.” he said. Then he looked up. “Aside from Mark, I have Yugyeom as a rival. Hahaha. It’s hard to move on with someone who never became yours.”

“Yugyeom likes Yerin too?” I asked. He nodded.

“Yah, Yerin is really attractive.” I said. “Yeah, I know how it feels to move on with someone who never became yours.”

I looked at him.

“Ah! I know what you need to do in order to move on.” I said

“What?” he asked.

“I can remember on a TV series ‘GOT TO BELIEVE’, Papa Bear told there that in order to forget your first love; you must find your second love. So, find your second love.” I said.

“Yah. I told you love is not something we should look for.” he said.

“But you can forget your first love if you start to fall in love with others.” I said.

“Is that applicable to you? Did you fell in love again after that boy dumped you?” he said.

“Yah, dumped is not the right word for it.” I said. “Yeah. I fell in love again.”

“Really? With whom?” he asked.

“I fell in love with fictional characters. Like Tezuka, Fuji, Ryoma, Eiji and others. And I started watching KPOP videos again.”

“So you fell in love with someone that doesn’t exist or with someone who doesn’t know you exist.” he said.

“Somewhat, yes. But at least, I became happy with it.” I said.

Jinyoung stared at the stars. “Okay fine. Now tell me what you want to tell me.”

I smiled at him.

“But now, I think I’m falling for a real person.” I said.

“For Mark right?” he said. I nodded.

“But, we just met for 2 months. I am not really so sure yet. But when I’m with him, I can’t stop smiling.” I said. “I liked him before since your debut. But that was as a fan. I never imagined that I will be able to meet him in person.”

“Everything seems to be so fast right?” he said.

“Yeah. I don’t even know if what I’m feeling is love or just an infatuation.” I said.

“Whether it’s love or not, just enjoy the moment while it’s there. There may come a time that it will no longer be available.” he said.

“I think so.” I smiled at him. “But I’m afraid.”

Jinyoung looked at me. “Afraid of what?”

“Afraid that I might make the same mistake.” I said.

“Mistake? Yah, Rhianne, tell me what you really want to say. Stop making those statements.” Jinyoung said.

I sighed, “Mark became so kind to me and now I’m starting to fall for him but I don’t know if he feels the same way. There is really something but I don’t want to assume.”

“Don’t worry he li…”

*ring ring*

Jinyoung was not yet finished saying what he wanted to say but someone is calling.

“Oh, I’m going to answer this call.” I told Jinyoung.

Manager unnie was calling.

“Oh manager unnie, why did you call?”

“Are you at the dorms?” she asked.

“Oh, I’m here at the rooftop. Why?”

“JYP just called me. The pictorial supposedly scheduled next week was transferred today. The photographer had some personal things to fix next week and you won’t be available on the next days so are you going to be fine if the pictorial will be tonight? At around 11pm I guess.” she said.

“Oh? Is that so? Okay. It’s fine. Will you fetch me or I’ll go to you?” I asked.

“I’ll fetch you so both of us will go there together.” she said.

“Okay. I’ll prepare myself.”

Our conversation ended. I haven’t debuted yet I’m having a hectic schedule. I love it. Haha. <3

“Who was that?” Jinyoung asked.

“It was Manager unnie. She told me I’m going to have a photo shoot tonight.” I said.

“Oh? Is that so? I guess you need to go to the dorm now.” he said.

“Yeah, I’ll go. How about you?” I asked.

“I’m going to stay here for a while.  I missed this place.” he said.

“I’ll be going ahead! Thank you for the time.”

I smiled at Jinyoung and immediately went back to the dorm.

“Oh, Rhianne?”

I looked at my back.

“Oh, JB!” I said.

“It looks like you’re in a hurry.” he said.

“Ah, not really. It’s just that I’m going to have a photo shoot tonight.” I said.

“Oh? Night?” he said.

“Yeah. There were some conflicts in schedule so it was moved tonight.” I said.

“Oh really? Good luck!” he said.

I smiled at him, “Thank you!”

JB is really a sweet and caring person. He is truly a great leader of GOT7. I admire him for that.

I went inside the dorm and fixed myself. Few minutes later,

“Rhianne, let’s go.” Manager unnie said.

We went to the van and headed to the studio where the photo shoot is going to be held.

We arrived there at about 10:30pm. They started to put make-ups on me.

“Rhianne, tomorrow you’ll attend the press conference JYP will be handling. He’s going to announce that you’re going to be 15&’s new member plus the upcoming activities of the entertainment.” manager unnie said.

“Oh, okay. What time?” I asked.

“It’s 1pm. I’ll fetch you at your dorm.” she said.

I smiled, “Okay.”

Oooh! I’m so excited with this. Finally, I’ll be a new member of 15&. My dreams are starting to come true. Yey! I don’t know how to contain my feels.

At about 11pm, the photographer came.

“I’m sorry for the hassle everyone. But I hope everyone is in the good mood.” he said then he looked at me.

“So you’re Rhianne, right? The new member of 15& right? I’m Laurence Wu. I’m going to be your photographer. I’m sorry for the sudden change of plans.”

“Oh, nice meeting you Mr. Wu. It’s fine.” I said.

While they were preparing the set, a received a text message.

From: Peter Pan <3

I heard that you’re going to have a photo shoot tonight. Text me if you have arrived the dorms already. We’re practicing for our Japan debut. Do well! <3

So he really put a heart shape on his contact name. What a guy.

“Rhianne-ssi, we’re going to start.” the assistant said.

“Oh, okay.”

I went out there wearing a cute dress. Ooh, so they’re going to make me have a cute image. Hahaha. I know I’m cute.

Okay fine, I’m just joking. -_-

“Just look at the camera and smile.”

It’s my first time to have a photo shoot session and I’m still adjusting to it.

“Oh, is this your first time?” Mr. Wu said.

I nodded my head.

“I see. Ahm, do you have a thing that will make you more comfortable?” he asked.

I looked around and,

“Oh!” I pointed to the guitar I saw there.

“Oh, so you like guitars. Okay.” he said. He looked for the staffs and asked them to bring the guitar.

I held the guitar and do my poses. I’m kinda enjoying this stuff.

After an hour of changing clothes, new styles, new positions, the photo shoot has ended.

“Thank you everyone for working hard!” Mr. Wu said.

“Thank you!” we all said.

“Do well! I can see that you will go far.” Mr. Wu told me.

“Oh, I hope so. Thank you very much.” I said.

I went to manager unnie, seeing her sleeping there.

“Manager Unnie, the photo shoot is done. We can go home now.” I said.

She woke up and smiled at me. “Okay.”

Manager unnie seems to be so tired but still she can manage to smile.

We went to the van and went back to the dorms.

When I arrived at the dorm, everybody I guess is already sleeping. So I went to my room silently. I looked at the time.

“Oh? It’s already 1:30am? I need to sleep so I can prepare myself for tomorrow’s activities.”

I still have my morning training tomorrow at 8am.

I laid down my bed

“Oh!” I exclaimed. “I have to text Mark.”

To: Peter Pan <3

I just arrived at the dorms. The photo shoot was fun. I’ll be sleeping already. I still have training tomorrow. Do well on your practice! Good mornight! J

I put my phone under my pillow and sleep.

The next day…

I woke up at 6:30 am. Ugh. I’m still sleepy but I have training today. So wake up Rhianne! You need to wake up!

I
