Sunday is not what they expected. The rain is pouring down during the second and last day of the Tokyo concert, the stage is slippery and every artist has it difficult each time they go up on the stage as well as when getting off the stage. Some of the artists are the cheerful ones; Carolina is walking around singing different songs from artist to artist to keep the mood up, being joined by Tiffany so they with linked arms head to the stage singing. Ryeowook is one of the cheerful ones too, keeping the mood up even if it is raining outside.

Hannah has her cheerful period too; when Emelia reminds her that they will run away today. The rain is not going to stop them.

But on the stage they get worried, careful with their steps on the slippery stage. Maria doesn’t seem to care, the lady who dances as if there is no rain but as a result her feet keeps gliding around and Hannah can’t even count all the times Maria looks like she will fall. She falls three times, the other times she seems to be rescued by a lady by either grabbing someone’s arm or having Emelia simply holding on to her. Emelia looks like a saviour each time she catches Maria, as if she predicts what will happen and holds out her arm just in time, while Maria at the other times grabs on to another lady who is the closest so Carolina one time almost falls with her or Hannah dropping her focus. It goes well; they all are charismatic on the stage and performs professionally even if it ends up being clumsy at some parts.

For Taemin and Hannah’s collaboration stage it is hilarious though. Taemin looks hot in the rain without a shirt and Hannah has today put up her hair in a long high pony-tail to not get the hair like seaweed over her face, and when walking out from the main stage in the middle of the song, Taemin slips so they hold on to each other tightly but laughs while singing.

Several songs after [You and Me], the next time 5 Pieces are on the stage they perform [Run Out] and [You Thought Wrong Of Me], and though both are the most charismatic performances by 5 Pieces for the concert they are probably the silliest with their movements. The stage is drenched in water, the ladies have barely started their performance when they feel their leather clothes sticking to their bodies and moving is getting a bit difficult. They dance to [Run Out], Hannah has the most part for this song and it isn’t much of a problem to dance on the stage after adjusting to it but their bodies are tensed differently than usually, being cautious of the stage, and not even halfway through the song does Hannah feel her body is really getting too tired for this – her back starts aching.

Without a problem they finish [Run Out], preparing for [You Thought Wrong Of Me] Hannah squats down to try calm her back a bit.

They start the performance with their microphone stands, and Hannah can’t be still. She wants to stretch her back; she is so uncomfortable standing there with heeled boots and an aching back, having to stand still so she is bouncing and focusing on feeling the song so she doesn’t look to be having a completely different melody going through her mind. She does it right; she is certain she looks to be into the song, especially when seeing Carolina doing pretty much the same thing.

Somehow they pull it off – the whole concert without anyone getting hurt in the rain. Hannah had to stretch and get massage for her back after half of the concert; each time she wasn’t on the stage she had either the doctor or a masseuse next to her.

For the ending it is hilarious though. Everyone is gliding around on the stage. Hannah walks around a lot with Emelia, the two of them sticking close to each other as if preparing for their run-away. They dance randomly to the audience and do fan-service, they are happy after spending the week together just the two of them at the house most of the days. After spending more than half their lives together, Hannah and Emelia end up fooling around with other artists. Emelia drags Hannah with her through the artists when coming up with something, and Hannah pats Jonghyun on his left shoulder when passing by so when he turns around she has already walked by his right side and they laugh at each other when he looks to his right to see her. Emelia went over to Lay at first to play around with him, then they go to Taeyeon to stand the three of them imitating each other’s weird dances.

By the time the concert has ended Hannah is a mess going around wondering when they are supposed to run away. Everyone is going to the after party, artists going around saying “see you there”.

If Hannah and Emelia leave now, fans will for sure follow them as the stadium is surrounded. So Hannah follows Emelia’s lead without asking questions; they leave the stadium with everyone else, they go to the restaurant with everyone else but before even taking their seats, Emelia grabs Hannah’s hand and they head back out in the rain.

As kids they used to play like this all the time. Countless of times in school when being out taking walks they would suddenly run into the forest or run a different direction, most of the time just hiding to scare someone, a few times even following Maria when she was looking for them on the school grounds. Running away now, laughing and jumping, they don’t care about the rain falling on their umbrellas or the looks from people they pass; they are two children who just have left a party. They don’t even know if anyone noticed them leaving, but Emelia had left notes on the ladies and manager’s cell phones to let them know that the childhood friends have run away and will not be back until late, “so don’t stay up waiting”. It is a joke, that too.

Hannah’s phone starts ringing pretty soon. Jonghyun wants to know what happened, but she text him saying she has left with Emelia and are going out to eat just the two of them. She doesn’t write that playfully as Emelia, but Jonghyun sends a smiley letting her know he understands – he has probably talked to the ladies and found out it is just for fun.

Emelia has it all planned out.

No, she hasn’t, she just wants to do a lot of things. They are celebrities, which they don’t seem to care about when entering the subway station to go to a place where they both know there is delicious food everywhere. Emelia handles it all; getting tickets and finding the right train. Every where they go there are people staring at them, recognizing them. Inside the station they can’t hide underneath umbrellas in the rain, and it seems like a lot of fans that were at the concert are taking the subway home too. Hannah and Emelia are just giggling together, excited to have successfully run away – not that anyone noticed them leaving or chased them – and they are smiling at each other when seeing cell phones held up their direction. The Japanese fans are keeping a distance, but they do not hesitate to film or take a picture. It will probably be out on the internet within a few minutes that Hannah and Emelia are riding the subway in Tokyo.

“It’s thrilling,” Hannah giggles to Emelia when they have boarded the subway train.

At first it wasn’t a lot of people walking onboard, but when Hannah and Emelia went on, a bunch of people started to enter too. Emelia laughs at Hannah’s giggling.

“Appa will get furious,” Emelia says with excitement. “And Ji Young will get scolded.”

On that, Hannah laughs; they both love this just as much.

At the next station, when some people get on the two ladies hears a sudden scream and turns around. Two girls had just spotted them, giving out a scream in the surprise and when both Hannah and Emelia turns to look at them the two girls turns to each other flapping their hands and silently screaming.

Emelia laughs, smirking a bit as she leans back against the closed door behind her, relaxing a bit even if they are in public with a lot of eyes on them.

“Are you staying in Japan after tomorrow’s schedule?” Emelia asks Hannah in Swedish, not saying any foreigners on the subway train.

“Why would I do that?” Hannah asks, her back facing the rest of the train to instead look at Emelia but she can see through the window reflection how everyone’s focus is on the two members of 5 Pieces.

“I thought you would be staying for Mr Hannah’s concerts this week,” Emelia says, simply shrugging her shoulder.

Hannah shakes her head. “They are too busy,” Hannah answers. It’s pretty clever to be in public but have their conversation private thanks to speaking a different language. “They have four concerts just that week.”

“Yeah, but that wouldn’t stop the two of you, right?” Emelia teases and Hannah smiles.

“I have promised to follow Carolina at her pre-recordings,” Hannah answers. “I haven’t seen her yet.”

“Oh…” Emelia nods. “Understandable. Carolina is the one wanting everyone to see her at her aces performances. You think Maria will go too?”

“Mm,” the youngest nods simply, then smiles as she answered ‘mm’ in Japanese and continues in Swedish; “We talked to it earlier today, we will both go cheer on Carolina because we missed her debut week.”

Carolina will have to pre-record her music program performances for next weekend because the ladies will be in Thailand for their GIRLS POWER tour from Thursday to Saturday.

“She is popular; who would’ve known that would happen?” Emelia jokes about Carolina’s popular solo debut. Hannah smiles weakly at the joke, not finding it funny yet knowing Emelia doesn’t mean it. Emelia if anyone have given Carolina support and cheer that she will do well as a solo artist, though she most of the time seem to say differently. It’s Emelia’s way to care.

They doesn’t say much more because a man comes up to them, asking if he can get a picture with them and for the rest of the ride that is what the ladies do; if one asks, the others follow. Half of the people in the train wagon take turns asking for a picture. The ladies should’ve guessed this would happen when taking the subway, but it isn’t any trouble because the people are polite and ask simple questions without pushing or rushing or talking in mouth on each other. When Emelia says “this is our stop”, they are let out and having people thanking them for the picture and wishing them a nice meal because the ladies said they are going to eat – Hannah even asked if they had any recommendation on food. Some girls tell them of a really nice food stand on the street near the station they have stopped at, recommending it for the two ladies. Though they say their goodbyes and thanks on the subway train, a few follows the ladies out of the station.

The food stand sells takoyaki, also known as octopus balls/pancake balls, and Hannah gets all jumpy smelling the delicious snack and Emelia too looks like they have hit the jackpot. It is a beauty it is even open at this time on a Sunday.

It is still raining and the two ladies have their own umbrella held above them, standing by the food stand talking about what to take from reading the menu. In the end they order their own canoe shaped plate of takoyaki, having different ones to share and then stand under a roof to eat with a toothpick, continuing to take from each other’s plates to share half-half.

“Hot food is delicious,” Emelia says with a smile, enjoying the food a lot. “Do you think we could get a drink somewhere near?”

“You want to drink when we have a photo shoot tomorrow?” Hannah asks with a laugh, holding out her plate for Emelia to take the last takoyaki.

“Mm,” Emelia nods, smiling at Hannah in a surprisingly cute way; “Just one bottle.”

Hannah can’t say no when they have gone outside to be free for some hours, and with Emelia giving her cute look to get her way. They walk around a bit first, spotting several bars they could enter but they enjoy the time in the rain just walking, looking and talking.

When finally sitting down at a bar, just the two of them, Hannah and Emelia take a bottle of sake to pour for each other. They start it with laughter to be polite in the Japanese culture, joking with each other and Hannah gets to pour Emelia’s cup first because she is the youngest and for some reason that is hilarious. They laugh like drunkards even before they have taken a sip of the alcohol. The next times they pour the small cups for each other they do it automatically as they have done this for six years already; it comes natural for them even if they joked around about it first.

With sake and snacks on the table, the typical Japanese bar and having just Hannah and Emelia sit there they talk about childhood memories, working solo, sharing stories they probably have told each other before and the less left there is in the sake bottle the serious the conversation gets. Hannah is not allowed to drink alcohol, but since she isn’t taking any medication these days it’s not that she can collapse or anything by adding alcohol in her system; it’s mostly because of her life as an idol saying she is not allowed to drink. She will probably not have a nice body tomorrow. She doesn’t drink much; they don’t drink to get drunk and they aren’t in a hurry to drink either, it is just to keep them company while talking. Hannah is certain she and Emelia could sit there with a glass of water each and chat away, but it would just look weird and since they rarely can drink sake or drink at all, Emelia seems to really enjoy the taste of Japan.

They catch up for lost time. It’s not that their friendship has ever been bad, but they just have been busy. They have to answer calls the whole time, managers asking where they are, if they want a ride back, when they are coming back, friends who are asking the same things. It is the last night Hannah will sleep at the hotel with Jonghyun, so he keeps texting when he is heading back to the hotel, asking if she doesn’t miss him. She does miss him, but she is having a great time with Emelia. They could probably sit there talking all night, but after midnight they take their things and start heading back to the hotel with a cab.

Though by the time they are at the hotel, all Hannah wants is to crawl into bed next to her boyfriend, but she goes with Emelia to talk to their members for a bit first.

It’s half past two in the morning when Hannah quietly opens the door to her hotel room. The hotel room is dark, the night view from the city shining in a bit and Hannah takes off her shoes to sneak over to the bathroom. Passing the bed she looks if Jonghyun is sleeping, her shoulders up to her ears and tiptoeing as quiet as she can with her cell phone in one hand and the bag she has brought along all day is placed at the end of the bed when walking by. She can see Jonghyun lie in the bed, his arm stretched out on her side and his chest bare with the quilt not pulled up completely. He looks y, his eyes closed and his face hidden in the shadows but she is certain she can still say in the dark where his handsome features are.

Quietly she enters the bathroom and closes the door after her to wash up quickly to go to bed. She is tired, that’s for sure, but she has had a great time with Emelia and Jonghyun is leaving the hotel in six hours; she wants to crawl into bed as soon as possible.

She leaves the bathroom in her nightdress of this weekend, putting her cell phone on the bedside table and carefully crawls into the bed. She puts her hair up on the pillow when lying on his arm, lying on the side so she can look at him. Maybe she will be awake all night, just looking at him. Her eyes are heavy, so she blinks a few times to be able to look at him a bit more.

Is he awake? Jonghyun is always awake when there is a movement in the room, so she has actually expected him to move ever since she walked in, to hear his voice asking if she had fun. She pouts thinking he might actually be sleeping, but that would be good; he needs to sleep. Next time they will meet is in Shanghai, about two weeks from now. Two weeks will pass by quickly, she will still miss him and she will have fun with her members until then, but still … she really wished they could meet more often. Not really more often, she just wants to spend more time with him; not now and then briefly but actually spend a day or two together. The SM Town concert isn’t much because there are so many friends there that they don’t really spend much time together in the end.

Hannah has proven to fans that she is alright this weekend. She has proven to herself and to her members and friends that she isn’t in a bad condition; she is just fine. Tired, but fine.

She gets still like a frozen leaf when Jonghyun moves. She looks up at his face, a bit worried she might’ve done something while being lost in thought that woke him up, but Jonghyun turns towards her as if he is moving in his sleep and his free arm falls over her. She grimaces at his weight, pressed between her boyfriend’s arms and his body in front of her. Just as she thinks he is done, he moves his head on top of hers. For a second she wonders if she will have to get out of this grip to not suffocate with the little air able to squeeze in between his body of chest, arms and head to reach her.

Warm breath tickles by her ear and Hannah is just about to try slink away from him when it feels like he bites her ear. The arms around her are not relaxing, and Hannah realises that he is not sleeping at all.

“Oppa!” she bursts out in a light squeal, pushing his chest and once he fall on his back with a laugh she sits up with a shocked face-expression, a hand on her ear.

“You thought I was sleeping,” Jonghyun smirks. Like always when lying on his back in the bed he looks to be so comfortable in himself, lying there and looking like he is the king of the building.

“That’s not nice,” she says and kicks his leg.

“You left me,” Jonghyun pouts out at her, reaching his hand out for her, his fingers taking a light hold of her nightdress.

“I didn’t…”

“You left with Emelia,” he pouts, holding back a smile when Hannah gives him a glare. He then laughs and sits up to wrap his arms around her. “I was joking, Nabi.”

Just as she is about to say it wasn’t a fun joke – she is upset he let her think he was sleeping and that it actually worked, she was fooled – Jonghyun leans over her so she lies down in the bed, and instead of saying it wasn’t a fun joke she whines; because Jonghyun lies on top of her and glides in his body between her legs.

“Did you have fun riding the subway, Nabi?” he teases her with a smile telling her he knows everything. As if he even knows she talked to Emelia at the bar about him.

“How do you know that?” she frowns, pretty sure she hasn’t told him about riding the subway.

“Internet,” he smiles. He holds himself up on his arms above her, looking down at Hannah who isn’t sure if she should smile or pretend to get upset again. “It’s everywhere; you rode the subway after the concert, you went to eat in the rain… My beautiful Nabi had fun while I was lying here in the cold, cold bed-”

“Liar,” Hannah interrupts him with a laugh. “You had fun at the after party, Julia has already told me.”

He did have fun at the after party, eating a bit and loudly talking to his friends of SM Town. He was aware of her absence the whole time, but couldn’t ignore to have fun when Onew sat down next to him.

“Okay, I had fun tonight,” Jonghyun whispers. “But I wouldn’t feel so cold if you had been with me.”

She smiles at him, not sure what to answer to that, and before she can come up with anything to say he grinds his body up over hers and she gasps at everything that suddenly fires up in her body at once, grabbing his wrists as the fabric of their underwear are tightly grinded. He does it one time, looking at her gasp at the surprise.

“I know what your doctor said…” Jonghyun starts to say, carefully grinding down and watching her close her eyes tightly under him. “But I don’t want to wait another two weeks.”

The tone in his voice asks her if she wants to continue. Hannah thinks she has completed the concert, she has even been drinking alcohol; she feels okay.

Her head nods before her mind has come up with a good excuse to not do it.

Monday is spent filming a 2015 calendar for Japan, and when being back in Korea on Tuesday, Carolina head off to her solo promotions by herself, to spend Tuesday and Wednesday pre-recording and performing. Hannah is at home for a bit in the morning, to be with Tiger and to later bring Tiger with her, Emelia and Maria to the broadcast station to support Carolina. They sit in the dressing-room all the time, watching the pre-recording on the TV-screen in there, and when changing broadcast station Emelia takes her car to the agency to practice for her own solo comeback and the other two ladies follows Carolina to show support for the next location too.

Carolina is doing super great as a solo artist. Hannah had her doubts, wondering if people would take too much notice of how odd their mascot is; but the staff obviously already knows that and the fans seem to just love that Carolina has finally made her solo debut. Carolina gets a bit embarrassed each time she come backstage because Hannah will be applauding her for doing such a great job and Maria will say she is jealous of either the skirt or shoes Carolina is wearing. It is too clear how happy Carolina is; not just for her solo promotions but to have the ladies there. She walks around hugging them both all the time, as if reminding herself that they actually are there. One time when coming backstage, Hannah, Maria and the stylists are singing Carolina’s song and she looks like she is flying when getting all this cheering from them.

On Wednesday, Carolina continues her schedule but she is in the recording studio for a bit in the morning. All the ladies are at the studio today, taking turns so when Carolina is performing on Show Champion in the evening, Hannah and Julia are both there to support her. They are in the studio today recording Christmas songs, two songs to begin with. One is a brand new Christmas ballad called [The Falling Snow], a Korean song, while the other is an English song called [Last Christmas]. 5 Pieces will release a Christmas single at the end of November.

Thursday is rehearsals for 5 Pieces in Bangkok, Thailand, for Friday and Saturday’s GIRLS POWER concerts. There is just three things that are talked about this weekend; Carolina’s solo, 5 Pieces’ tour and [When No One Is Around]. The music video for the international single [When No One Is Around] is released on Friday, just the music video as the single will come out in two weeks. It was the music video filmed in the ballet hall; it looks beautiful and bright, dramatic though it is a dance video. Hannah shares it on her social media sites, she doesn’t update it a lot these days since being at the hospital. She has only updated a picture on Instagram of Carolina’s solo activities since the picture of herself by the bike that Honggi took. She doesn’t want to update too much when she is supposed to be resting, though she does things every day.

The concert in Bangkok is probably the most exciting concert so far. Everyone is hot from the weather, and it seems like the dancers are teasing Carolina for making her solo debut because they keep fanning their hands at her when getting the chance, the ladies are teasing her during their talk segment too by having Maria out of nowhere start singing Carolina’s song for the fans to start screaming and ask for Carolina to sing a bit. In other words; the crew and 5 pieces are basically boasting and promoting Carolina’s solo debut wherever they go with this tour. On Saturday, the last day of their Bangkok concert, everyone gathers afterwards for a “family picture”. They have the crew touring with them gather on the stage; 5 Pieces, band and dancers. Everyone gathers for a picture, and when looking at it later it really shows what a weird crew they are. But it is lovely and Maria says they can frame it and put it in everyone’s rooms at home, as well as bring it along on the rest of the tour to remind everyone of how weird they are together.

{Instagram, 5P_EMELIA: The family portrait taken in Bangkok with the crew, we can cut in the last piece with Puzzle, right? ^^,}

{Instagram, 5P_JULIA: They said it is a family picture… I’m doubtful but happy}

{Instagram, 5P_HANNAH: GIRLS POWER tour in Bangkok, finished! We are coming to the Philippines next, is it possible that you are ready for it? ;)}

According to fans, 5 Pieces’ family portrait is with derp face Carolina, the glaring ghost Emelia, lovingly mother Julia, overload cuteness baby Hannah, and top diva poser slash father Maria. in some way it could work because Carolina does look weird, Emelia is in her glaring character, Julia has her arms around two of the dancers so it does look like she is very loving, Hannah is smiling so much that her eyes are in a half-moon shape and Maria is like always the one giving the most confident pose with her long limbs.

Then it’s just to head back to Seoul, for Carolina to continue her solo schedule and the ladies getting to rest for a day before starting Monday with a new calendar shoot and more things.

It is Thursday. Hannah had spent Tuesday and Wednesday stuck in the recording studio – she has longed to get back there and record songs for her solo comeback – and now on Thursday they are taking the flight to Shanghai after Carolina’s performance on M Countdown for tomorrow’s SM Town rehearsals. Emelia has been filming her new single music video for two days, but she is done now and has come to M Countdown with the other members.

It’s because they are going straight to the airport after M Countdown that the ladies are gathered there now, and they fill Carolina’s dressing-room with talking and food.

“I can’t believe it is your fourth week already,” Julia smiles as Carolina is getting a final touch on her makeup before she will have to go to the stage. She is smiling widely, their mascot.

“Agree there,” Maria nods.

“But it’s my third performance on M Countdown,” Carolina points out.

On her debut week she performed on Music Bank and Inkigayo, and her mini-album was released the week after so it’s in fact the third week. When Carolina has left the room and her performance begins to air on TV, Emelia gives out a sigh.

“I can’t believe she hasn’t won on any music program,” Emelia comments, sounding frustrated by the fact that Carolina’s songs have been on the TOP5 on every music chart and has even been running up for first place since last week, but she can’t seem to reach first place. Hannah nods in agreement. It is seen clearly at the music stations that Carolina’s song is super popular, there are so many fans there for her, even comments online are suggesting that the charts are not correct because Carolina’s songs are the most played on radio since release. Her songs are popular, it is the kind of music that is loved and appreciated for all times, it is easy yet unique and everyone loves that.

Maria isn’t saying anything, just sitting there with her phone and singing along to Carolina’s voice on the TV. Hannah thinks she does it without being aware of that she is singing along; Maria sang it in the van on the way here too.

The youngest is also frustrated. Mostly because Carolina had said the other day that Hannah’s songs win all the time, why can’t Carolina’s? Carolina even said her own songs are better than most of Hannah’s, and since she has written and produced them herself she should win. Julia said it’s nothing important; they all can feel the love to Carolina’s music, how successful her solo debut has been, but Carolina still wants it to be shown with at least one win at a music program. Hannah stayed quiet, as she got a little bit upset over Carolina’s words about Hannah’s songs, but she too thinks Carolina should win on music programs – not because she is 5 Pieces, but because she is a hardworking artist and her music in this mini-album is just the best music out there now.

Carolina doesn’t come back after her performance, probably talking to Red Velvet while waiting for the ending, and Manager Lim reminds the ladies in the dressing-room to use the bathroom before they will leave for the airport.

Maria leaves the room right away, Mi Young leaving too. Emelia stays seated while Hannah starts putting her things in her bag, taking out her earphones to be ready when they are leaving. She knows Carolina will change clothes first, but at the word of preparing to leave she is done under a minute.

“Where is she?” Yong Hyun asks and looks at the TV-screen when all artists gather on the stage for the ending.

Emelia is quickly down on her knees below the screen to point on the right side of the hosts. “Oh, she is up against Roy Kim,” Emelia says as the two up-runners are shown. “Ah, there is Velvet too.” She points at half of a face seen three rows behind Carolina at one of the girls from Red Velvet.

“Maybe she should wear something on her wrist next time…” Yong Hyun is thinking watching Carolina’s outfit, of what he can see in the close-up. “Does she look nervous?”

“No, she is anxious because we are back here,” Emelia chuckles and sits back in the sofa just as Maria and Mi Young comes back.

“It’s not done yet?” Maria sighs when seeing the music program is still going on. “I rushed because I thought the show was over…”

Julia imitates one of the dark voices counting the votes, laughing by herself while the others aren’t really focusing. The winner is announced and Hannah hear the confetti shooting out, as in a reflex she starts clapping her hands and she has to lean on the side as Maria stands in front of her talking to their stylist what Carolina could add to her outfit as it looks like something is missing.

“Guys, guys, GUYS!” Emelia roars and grabs Maria’s arm when the leader doesn’t react.

“WHAT?!” Maria bursts out as she wasn’t interrupting anyone or speaking loudly when Emelia grabbed her. Emelia points at the TV that Julia is just gaping at, and Maria first things that Julia is just imitating the close-up on Carolina on the screen because they have the same gaping expression, but then she sees 1^st place: [I Wish You Were My Love]. With the highest, most annoying but happiest tone, Maria starts screaming at the top of her lungs and she grabs on to Emelia to jump with her and it is like Maria just won first place at a music program for the first time in her life; while it in fact is Carolina who has won first place for a solo song that she wrote and produced.

The room burst out in cheering, Maria even wipes tears that aren’t there and though she was the loudest screaming she tells everyone to be quiet when hearing Carolina’s stuttering speech. Of course Carolina has prepared a speech already, but she looks so surprised and moved that she stutters it all out.

Maria starts screaming the second Carolina thanks 5 Pieces in the speech. It is surprisingly long, Carolina’s speech, and the ladies are celebrating backstage like nothing else. They know it means a lot for a member to win something as a solo artist, and honestly speaking they weren’t expecting it since it’s been three weeks already. Being restless during Carolina’s encore, the ladies keep waiting and waiting, and when Carolina finally leave the stage Hannah is peeking out from the door looking for her.

Everyone in the room knows when Carolina comes because Hannah gives out a squeal and runs out of the room.

“CONGRATULATIONS!” Hannah cheers and throws her arms around Carolina.

Carolina hugs her back, for once being quiet, but she laughs against Hannah’s shoulder at the strength Hannah had when running into her so Carolina took a few steps back. Hannah hugs on to Carolina, congratulating her when they walk to the room where Maria is next, blocking the door to embrace Carolina and take her inside where everyone congratulates her. Carolina had kept her face on the stage, she smiled so happily during the encore, but now when being congratulated by the ladies who are so happy and proud over her she has started to cry. She got teary when Hannah screamed and hugged her in the corridor, but to have Maria embrace her with all that warmth and being given that proud look shown by her members is really what she hasn’t been shown before. They have been happy for her when she made her solo debut, they have been proud too seeing how popular she has been, but this is the first time all five ladies are gathered at Carolina’s event and she managed to win first place thanks to their fans – according to Carolina, all of this wouldn’t mean a thing if her four ladies weren’t with her.

Crying, Carolina turns her back against Emelia who asks why she is crying. The room is loud with voices but Emelia is filming Carolina, she caught her crying with the award in one hand and flowers held with her arm. Maria laughs; her voice is clearly heard in the filming. Emelia takes Carolina’s arm in her hand to turn her around, stepping around the crying friend when she doesn’t want to look at her and Carolina gives out a whine.

“Are you crying because you’re happy?” Emelia teases.

Carolina nods, hiding her face behind a hand and Julia embraces Carolina from behind, moving the mascot a little out of happiness.

“Congratulations, Carolina!” Julia cheers.

Emelia stops filming and pulls Carolina in for a hug, moving Julia to do so and Carolina starts crying even more. Even the playful Emelia can’t help but to hug and congratulate her – after catching Carolina’s tears on film.
