Chapter 3

... Blue Tea, an all boys idol group of six. Not only are they very handsome but also super talented. They were a local teen music group in my town until they got signed up to one of the most popular entertainment agency in the world and because famous internationally....

I had attended all their concerts before and after they got famous. I wasn't just in love with them, I was obsessed. While still in highschool I took up several part time jobs just so I could buy their concert tickets, pay to attend fan meets which I never got a chance to go to , join their fanclub and even buy gifts for them. It because a problem because I stopped taking school seriously and only thought of what my idols would be doing and which next concert I'd attend. My bedroom walls were covered in their posters, stickers and I made sure to buy anything with their face or name on it.

I was the typical example of an obsessed fan. Once, I got into a fight with a classmate that called their music lame which led to me being suspended for two weeks. My parents were disappointed and tried to get me to stop my obsession but it didn't work, nothing did. They decided it was a phase and wanted me to grow out of it but the phase was just too strong.

When we turned eighteen, Ryoko got picked up by an entertainment agency to become a trainee. I was so happy for my best friend who was finally going to follow her passion and bring her dreams to reality. My happiness faded soon after she left our town and I became once again, alone without a friend.

Driven into depression and loneliness, I immersed myself completely into my Blue Tea obsession and blocked out the world. Even after graduating from highschool, I just shut myself in and only went out when I had to attend concerts. Dad's job required him to be transferred to another country and Mom thought it would be a good idea to go with him. I didn't want to leave so they left me behind saying I was old enough to follow my own path.

... With my terrible grades, it was definitely impossible to get into college or even a decent training program. I decided it was best to continue doing part time jobs, besides my parents still sent me allowance every month so I was sure everything would be fine, or was it?...

You see the universe has a way of fixing you up when you go wrong. It took me less than six months to realize that growing up and being independent wasn't as easy as dramas made it seem. Two months after they left I had so much fun, I could eat what I wanted, sleep when, where and as long as I wanted, stay out as late as I wished with no curfew or parents telling me what to do or what to wear, I felt free at last. Then I realized that there was a reason why people cleaned their surroundings, woke up early, ate healthy and came home at decent hours of the night.

For two months I hadn't cleaned the house so cockroaches turned my home into their den. The cockroach infestation was the first attack from the universe. I was forced to take up the habit of doing house chores regularly. Then I lost my part time jobs for going late and not looking fit for the job, gained lots of weight from eating junk food without working out or even being physically active. My face was covered in pimples and in general I looked haggard from head to toe. All these happened in less than six months.

Ryoko finally got a week off from her agency, her nineteenth birthday was within the week and she could come home to celebrate it with family. I was so happy when she showed up at my door screamed ,"SURPRISE!". I was indeed surprised to see her pop up at my door but my surprise wasn't as great as the shocked expression she had on her face when she saw me.

"***Oh my goodness, what on earth happened to you Karin***?" *she exclaimed loudly*.
