It's finally Kei's birthday.Kei decided to hold a birthday party for the kids at Angel Voices Orphanage.At the same time, Mariya is looking forward on talking with Kei and she is excited to give him the letter she wrote few days ago. And as if in a cue, Kei made his grand entrance and the children all came running towards him and they all greeted and sang happy birthday to him.Aunt Francia greeted Kei with a warm embrace and greeted him a happy birthday as well.After a few moments, Kei is now making a speech, while Mariya is doing sign language for the kids."Thank you all so much for making my birthday special. You all made me very happy, and I will never forget this day. A lot has happened at the end of this year. Our Uncle, Mr. Onodera is now in heaven, and I am sure that he is watching all of us. But we were all able to recover little by little because of our Auntie Francia, your older sisters Kari, Mia and Mariya. Let me also thank this opportunity to tell you a very importa
Kei and Mariya decided talk at the Botanical Garden, so that they can have a quiet and private talk..."How have you been doing for the passed two years, Mariya?" Kei was the first one to break the silence between them."So far so good, Kei... But what are you doing here? Since when did you come back?" Mariya bombarded him with questions."I've been here in Japan for a month now, and wanted to settle everything first, before I decided to show myself to you, guys... And to answer your second question, I left my heart here at Angel Voices, and I intend to keep it for myself..." Kei gently told Mariya, as he is looking at her straight in the eye, as if he's searching her inner soul."Huh? What do you mean by that?" Mariya asked, while looking confused."I can finally admit to myself, to you, and to other people that I'm hopelessly and helplessly inlove with you. And I've never been so sure now. I love you with all my heart and soul, and I'm praying that you feel the same way, too..." Kei
Cherish smiles back at Gracie Ann. "Yes, indeed. You've got to thank your lucky stars." Cherish enunciated."Well, you're right there, but... I think you're more deserving to get this prize. It has been your dream to go to Japan, right? I think this is the time for you to make your dream come true. So that'd why I'm going to sell you my ticket. You can buy it in a bit of a higher price because I'm planning to renovate my small house and I need some funds." Gracie Ann made a surprising offer towards Cherish. Cherish's eyes widened in disbelief after she heard Gracie Ann."R-Really? Can I really buy your ticket?" she said, while getting teary-eyed."Absolutely!" Gracie Ann smilingly answers."Oh my goodness! I can't believe it, but thank you for making my dream come true. I promise I will give you the money tomorrow!" Cherish excitedly gushes while giving a big hug to her co-worker."I'm glad the two of you finally reached an agreement. It's a win-win situation, right?" Belvina happil
Japan Trip Day One. Sendagaya.Shibuya-ku,Tokyo,Japan.Cherish is making her way out from Sakura Hotel, where she's going to stay for one week.She was greeted by the freezing cold winter wind as soon as she got out from the hotel building. While she's walking at the side of tbe road, she's also checking her notebook as she reads her first destination to visit in Tokyo."First stop... Cafe Heaven in Shibuya." Cherish whispered to herself. That coffee shop is popular with local and international fangirls because it is owned by Kei's family. Kei is the leader of her favorite japanese pop boyband, known as MORSE.Kei's younger brother is the Manager of Cafe Heaven Shop, and he is also famously known for being equally husband like his older brother. Aside from that, Kei frequently visits the shop as well, and she might be lucky enough to talk to him and take a photo with him!Cherish started walking to Yoyogi station to catch a train to Shibuya Intersection where the Coffee Shop is locate
"Yes, we should. You look so cold that we need to drink and eat something warm." Ken nodded in agreement.Cherish just nodded in response, as she's suddenly confused. Why did she even think of being all romantic with Ken?She snaps out from her reverie when she heard his voice again."Let's go somewhere warm and comfortable." Ken enunciated. Cherish absent-mindedly follows behind Ken, while feeling a bit awkward...================================After sometime."What is this place, Ken?" Cherish curiously asks, while she roams her eyes around the area as they are standing at a wooden entrance door. She noticed that everyone is sitting on the matted floor, and the tables are too low. Everyone was enjoying their time eating good food, drinking alcoholic beverages and sharing an enjoyable chat.“This place is called “Izakaya,” Cherish. All the food and drinks are cheap and delicious.” Jen smilingly responded.“Hmm… Interesting.” Cherish stated."You must be hungry, right? Come and le
"I don't think our friendships gonna go that way." Cherish casually responded."Guys, will you stop asking these weird questions to Cherish? We're friends, nothing more, nothing less." Ken said it all in one breath."If that's the case... Can I date Cherish?" Kei suddenly announces.Ken frowned at his brother."What the hell are you saying?" he suddenly scowls at him."Actually, Cherish's my type of girl. I'd like her to be my girlfriend." Kei added."Well, we can't deny the fact that Kei and Cherish looks good together as a couple." Shun suddenly commented.Meanwhile, Cherish doesn't know how to react because she's been overwhelmed with different emotions due to MORSE's presence."Stop teasing Cherish, guys!" Ken tries to reprimand the guys."Wait, why do you sound so defensive? Wait, are you getting jealous?" Ban suddenly interrogated Ken."Of course not!" Ken quickly interjected, as he feels the warm sensation on his ears."Okay, let him off the hook guys. Ken's looking so agitated
Cherish feels like her chest is going to explode because of excitement. The crowd started chanting the group members' name, as they waited for them to make a grand entrance.She is such a lucky fangirl because she is actually very close to the stage. She can clearly see a closer view of MORSE...After few more minutes, they heard a loud bang from the stage fireworks and the whole stage lit up!The audience screamed in delight when they heard MORSE hit RnB song, which is titled "My Beloved."The crowd started to crazy when the rest of the MORSE members finally appeared onstage.===============================The concert lasted for two-and-a-half hours. Ken and Cherish are now making their way outside the concert venue."Did you have fun, Cherish?" Ken asks her with a smile, as they are making their way out."It was an amazing, wonderful and fantastic concert for me! I will never forget this experience for the rest of my life!" Cherish gushes in return, while her eyes is beaming with e
Everyone is having a great time inside the Club Zion. MORSE invited very few friends and sponsors, as they wanted to keep the party intimate, as much as possible.Ken took a sip from his wine glass glass while he's watching Cherish happily chatting with Kei, Shu, Ban and Yu. It was clear that Cherish is having a time of her life, and he is also happy for her.But at the same time, he's secretly feeling jealous because Cherish has been giving her full attention to MORSE, instead of having a good time with him.Eversince he saw Cherish walking inside tbe coffee shop for the very first time, he can't deny the fact that he fell in love with her at first sight. For the passed few days of being together, Kei have been hoping that Cherish would like him too, and they could be more than friends.But Cherish full attention is on MORSE, and he's been observing that she is more interested with his older brother, Kei. His mind is saying that he should give up, but her heart says that he should k
Few days quickly passes by.At a certain coffee shop. Clarissa doesn't have any idea why their choreographer, Jun wanted to talk to her privately, but she decided to meet up with him because it seems like they need to talk about something serious..."Clarissa... I really don't know how to say this to you." Jun started, in a worried manner."What do you mean, Sir?" Clarissa curiously asked in return.Jun took a deep breath before he spoke again."First of all, I want you to know that you're a very good dancer, and I don't have any hatred to you or anything. It's just that with all of the crazy things that have been happening between you and Toru, the President of their talent agency came up with a decision to completely remove you as MORSE's back-up dancer." he solemnly announced.Clarissa feels like a big bomb exploded right into her ears. She is now fired as a back up dancer!She wanted to cry right there and then, but she tries to control herself."Believe me, Clarissa. I tried to
Every female dancer starts to get excited after they heard Jun's announcement.Being able to be picked is a huge advantage and they can have an exposure...On the one hand, Clarissa is not too hopeful because it is obvious that Victoria will be chosen. As a professional dancer, she will not harbor any resentment towards Victoria if ever she was picked. She can clearly admit that she is the best dancer in their group.Meanwhile, Victoria gave out a big smile to everyone because she's absolutely sure that she will be personally picked by their choreographer."And now, I'm going to formally announce the dancer who will dance with Toru for his solo performance... We decided to pick Clarissa this time, and it was an unanimous decision." Jun suddenly announced.Clarissa held her breath in shock after they called her name. She can't believe that she was chosen! It was obvious that everyone is expecting to be chosen."Clarissa, we're going to pull you out from the group for an hour per day so
Clarissa arrived early at the rehearsal room the next day.She breathed a sigh of relief when she found out that she's the only person in the room. She decided to wake up early because she wants to practice alone.Anyway, she wasn't able to sleep well last night because of Edward, Victoria and Toru...She started warming up her whole body, and after a few minutes, Clarissa started dancing...She suddenly stopped moving when she saw someone entering the room. She groaned inwardly when she saw Edward and Victoria..."Great. Just like what I needed early in the morning." Clarissa muttered under her breath."Oh, you're here, Clarissa. Aren't you trying too hard even though you don't have a talent in dancing?" Victoria sarcastically spat out."Please stop being a bitch in the morning, Victoria. I'm not in the mood to fight you." Clarissa warned her."Victoria, stop it ---!" Edward wasn't able to finish what he was about to say when they heard another voice behind them.Edward and Victoria
Clarissa's train of thoughts stopped in a halt when Victoria and her two friends suddenly laughed, as if something is funny."Wow, are you suffering from amnesia, Clarissa? Alright, let me remind you something. Edward just recently broke up with you, and now you're flirting with another guy in just a blink of an eye! And you even had the guts to seduce a famous celebrity like Toru?! Just look at you! You're just a Plain Jane, and you're nothing but a pathetic wallflower!" Victoria insulted her.Afterwards, the three girls laughed at her in a mocking manner.At the same time, Clarissa secretly counted one to ten to calm herself. She has to control herself because she doesn't want to create any trouble. She doesn't want to stoop down to their level.Clarissa took a deep breath before she spoke again. "I'm not that desperate to flirt with another man right away, unlike other girls who snatches other people's boyfriend." she stated,in a calm manner. Victoria's whole face suddenly turned
"Oh.That was fast. Did he find out what happened to us last night?" asked Toru. Clarissa smiled sadly."Don't worry about it too much. That's not why we decided to split up. Apparently, he fell in love with somebody else." she answered."I'm sorry to hear that. But are you okay?" Toru asks her again."Surprisingly, I'm more than okay. It may sound weird, but I feel more relieved when we broke up. Should I pretend to cry and be heartbroken?" Clarissa stated, in an amused manner.Without a warning, Toru suddenly lets out a bark of laughter."You never cease to amaze me, Clarissa. You're really one of a kind." he enunciated."Well, I'm glad I made you laugh." Clarissa said, while shrugging her shoulders."By the way, are you hungry? We can do a take out by going at the drive thru and eat while we're on the road." Toru suddenly suggested."Sure! I'm actually starving." Clarissa finally confesses with a smile.==========================After a while.They finally reached their destinatio
"You're finally here, Jason!" Kei greeted one of his team member."I'm sorry for being late." Toru apologized to everyone. "You're not really late, dude. Anyway, let's do our best for our rehearsals today, okay?" Richard, the other member of their idol group said, while tapping Toru's shoulder."As always, we need to give our 100% best." Toru nodded approvingly.At that exact time, Toru and Clarissa's eyes accidentally met. Toru just gave her a simple smile, and Clarissa just nodded in return.Then, they spent half of the day learning new dance moves....=======================Lunch time.Edward and Clarissa are at a Coffee Shop not far from the Grand Theater."So... How did you go home last night, Edward? What happened to you after drinking at the pub?" Clarissa bombarded her boyfriend with questions."Just like what I told you, I went home all by myself. I wasn't able to escort you back to your apartment because I was so drunk." Edward explained."Why am I not convinced, Edward? I
"Yes, Sir. I'm absolutely fine. Why are you outside?" Clarissa curiously asked him."Oh, I'm just here to get some fresh air. How about you, what are you doing here?" Toru asked her the same question."Uh, same to you, I guess. I'm feeling a bit suffocated inside." Clarissa responded, while shrugging her shoulders.His instinct's telling him that Clarissa's hiding her real feelings. Anyway, he doesn't have the right to force her to tell him the truth.Clarissa smiled at him, and then she spoke again."I have to go back inside..." she informed him."Oh, alright. I'll just stay here for a bit more. I'll go back inside in a few minutes." Toru smiled back at her.Clarissa nodded, then afterwards, she walks back inside...Toru watched her walking away until she's out of sight."I hope you'll be able to see what is going on around you, Clarissa." he whispered.==========================Few hours have passed. All of the people are starting to leave the pub one by one. Jun, their choreograp
Evening quickly came by.All the staff and dance crew are currently having fun. After their first day of rehearsals, Jun invited them all of them to have a drink at a certain pub and have a mini-orientation to make them feel comfortable with each other."Alright, everyone! Let's make our mini-orientation party even more fun, so let's play a little game, shall we? How about doing Truth or Dare game?" Jun suddenly announced.The crowd became rowdier after they heard what Jun said."I'm sorry to spoil your fun, guys, but I need to go. I still have to go somewhere important." Kei politely informed everyone. As soon as Kei left, Jun finally started the Truth or Dare game by spinning an empty bottle.A few seconds later, the tip of the bottle stopped towards Edward. Toru observed that Edward and Clarissa seems to be very close with each other. He heard from the grapevine that they are romantically linked with each other."Okay, Edward... Truth or Dare?" Jun asked the question.However, To
The next morning...Clarissa woke up to the sound of the phone ringing. She jumped out of her bed and ran to her mini-living room to pick up her mobile phone.She quickly answered the call."Hello?" she asked, in a raspy voice."Hello, may I speak with Miss Clarissa Montecillo?" the female caller asks."Yes, this is Clarissa Montecillo speaking. May I know who's calling, please?" Clarissa answered "Hi, Clarissa. I'm Diana Lee, and I'm calling to formally inform you that you've been picked as one of the dancers. Please report to the Grand Theater tomorrow at 10:00 am sharp. Your attendance is a must."After a few minutes, the call was finally ended, and she still can't believe that she passed the audition!"I got in!" Clarissa excitedly screamed, as if there's no tomorrow.=====================The next day.At the Grand Theater."Don't be too nervous, Clarissa. Just dance just like what you usually do." Edward encourages her."I'll prove to them that they didn't make a mistake in cho
