This happened in August. There was a lad named Hikaru Zikizu who was always at the top of his class, good at sports, and popular at school due of his unique appearance. His two buddies are Firu Mori and Shu Lamishi.
Hikaru finds Firu listening to music by a well-known idol when they are in the cafeteria.
"Firu, what are you listening to while you've been quiet and wearing headphones" replied Hikaru.
"I'm sorry, because the Popular idol's song is beautiful and heartwarming" Firu stated.
Meanwhile, Shu checked his mobile to see what he was listening to. "Isn't that the famous Idol? His voice is really captivating as well as his appearance" Shu said.
Hikaru responded, "all idols don't care when they become popular and rich, they don't care anymore. They'll only play around with people, but when they're behind the camera they are disgusted by those who hold their hand, they will hate so what is the purpose if they only treat people like that."
"Kishizu looks nice, look how cute she is! She looks innocent." said Firu said.
"Bahala kayo d'yan, Basta ako hindi nagpapaniwala ng mga taong yan kaya nga hindi ako nakikinig sa mga pop songs." (Translate: It's up to you, I just don't believe those people that's why I don't listen to pop songs." ) Hikaru Said.
The next day, Hikaru observed that many individuals were listening to that P-pop tune he'd heard everywhere on his way to school.
"Why do they want to listen to those songs?" He asked himself quietly.
When he noticed his close friend, he approached him.
"Hikaru, do you know what's new songs now? The songs are really great!"
He showed Hikaru. "Look how cute he is, why don't you try to listen to it?" Hikari nodded;
After the incident, he was unable to concentrate on his schoolwork that day, and he is puzzled why so many people enjoy that idol lady. Before going to bed, he looked it up on his laptop, went to the Spotify website, and typed in the idol girl's name.
"Shimiku Yuu"
- Most popular this month
- Philippines Pop song
- Rank 1
- Road to 10 Million Listeners
"She is really famous, huh."
Hikaru mumbled. He also tried searching for it on Google, and he has a lot of admirers; even on Pinterest, he looked at the face of his idol girl.
"Muka naman talaga siyang inosente at maganda, Pwe! ganyan naman yung mga famous na tao kahit din ang mga influencers makitang tao sa camera." (Translate: "She looks really innocent and beautiful, Pwe! Famous people are just plastic, even influencers look nice in front of the camera.")
He closed his laptop, lay down, and looked up at the ceiling.
When he fell asleep, he had a dream about a girl idol named Shimiku. He saw blood all around her while she sang on stage. It continues to sing despite the fact that the people on stage are covered in blood. When Shimiku observed Hikaru, she unexpectedly stopped singing.
"Hikaru Zikizu....." she replied, her gaze serious.
"Nice to see you."
"Nice to meet you."
He wasn't sure what to do so he just stared at the female. Shimiku approached him unexpectedly, making him nervous. Shimiku murmured something to him in Japanese, which he didn't comprehend. And he barely awoke from the dream as his cellphone rang an alarm.
He was astonished and sat on his bed, gazing out the window. "What just happened in my dreams?" he asked himself.
He heard his mother screaming downstairs
"Hikaru! Anong oras na! Wala ka bang balak pumasok sa school?!" ("Hikaru! What time is it! Don't you plan to go to school?!") His mom said it out loud
"coming in!" He said.
When he arrived at school he saw his friends and approached them.
"You will not believe what I tell you." Hikaru said
"Good morning buddy hehe~" Shu said.
"Morning, what is it." Firu said.
"I dreamed-" He suddenly wondered if he should tell because he knew they wouldn't believe him.
"Ha?" Shu said.
Just forget it. Hikaru said.
The two are confused.
After class, he heard the girls discussing about Shimiku's concert in their city and raced home without saying goodbye to his pals. When he got home, he walked upstairs and checked the laptop in his room for Shimiku's home page. It's true that she has a concert next week; he studied every detail, and it costs P5,000 per person.
He wondered where he would get that money.
"Saan naman ako kukuha ng ganong kalaking pera...." ("Where am I going to get that much money...") Hikaru said.
He thought of a way, the next day he tried to apply to a cafe to do a part time job.The Manager looked at him and the applications he gave.
"Ilang taon ka na ba?" (How old are you?) Manager said.
"I will be eighteen in August." Hikaru said.
"Working student huh." Manger said.
"Yes Manager." He said.
The manager rolled his eyes
"Sige na nga pasok ka na, pagbutihin mo kung Hindi pwede kitang tanggalin." (Go ahead, do your work so I can't fire you.) Manager said.
Maraming salamat po! (Thank you so much)
He said thankfully.
Since then, every time classes are over, his friends see that Hikaru comes home early, as if he is always in a hurry.
When it was Thursday and Shimiku's Concert was tomorrow, Hikaru saw that the savings were still not enough.
"Ano pa ba dapat kong gawin!" ( "What else should I do!") He sighs
When it was late afternoon and he was going to the Cafe, suddenly someone grabbed his arm and when he turned around it was a scary man.
"Where are you going Kid?" A tough man Said.
"T-to my part time job Sir." Hikaru said with politeness.
"Come with me first." Tough man Said.
"Wa-wait! Where we are going! I have part time today, I'm going to be late if I'm going with you.
said Hikaru said feeling nervous
Tough man pulled him.
"I won't hurt you if you come with me." said the man
Hikaru reluctantly went with the man, thinking about what was happening at that time. They got into a black van, and it started, 20 minutes later they arrived at the studio. Hikaru wonders why he was brought there, he was given a black suit and black pants.
"Put it on, and go to the right you will see a door with a start knock on it" said the man
Hikaru just nodded and went to the changing room to change, after he finished changing he walked down the hallway. While he was walking he noticed a few guards in the hallway and people going from room to room.It made him think, but he continued walking, as he was getting closer a makeup artist saw him.
"Are you the one Jeo sent here?" said the makeup artist
He thought again of the tough man who ordered him to come here, so he nodded there.
"Great, then meet her inside of her room right there." makeup artist said then she left.
Hikaru went where the woman pointed, when he opened the door he was surprised by what he saw. A woman focused on the mirror.... Blue hair, Flawless, piercing nose, Sparkling eyes...... It could be....
Shimiku looked at the door and saw a young man, and she smiled.
"Come in.✧" she said
Hikaru couldn't believe that Shumiku was in front of him, but he remained calm and went inside.
"Will you be my assistant?✧" she said.
Hikaru couldn't believe it, what he had been dreaming of seeing. Now he is in front of her that his two eyes can see.
"I-I will Ms. Shimiku Yuu." Hikaru said
"Then great.✧"
Hikaru wondered what he had just gotten himself into. But he had to be calm so that Shimiku wouldn't be uncomfortable. 10 minutes later, Shimiku handed Hikaru a piece of paper.
"Sign it✧" She said.
Hikaru read it and he saw that it was about him, it said that Hikaru would be her assistant until Shimiku left Japan.
"My Manager said, I will take care of everything... you will live in the mansion with me... I will provide all your needs but one condition, You must know all the details of my lifestyle, you will always remind me.✧"
Hikaru is speechless, with so many good people and more used there who can be assistants why he is the one chosen. He's just normal student who just nothing special on his life, hates Idols because, hate pop music and just living with peace going to be assistant of Shimiku.... He is so shock... That he's just looking at her with surprised look and look to the paper again... He read again the Letter... Is he dreaming?
In his thoughts
"I need to wake up to this dream... Maybe I'm just dreaming... this is just a dream... This is just a dream he keep saying that in his thoughts."
"Young man?✧" She said
He snapped on.
Hikaru: R-right.......
Hikaru Signing the paper.
