Chapter 1053 This is me Part 29

FUTABA

Futaba laughed. "You made the call to the restaurant from all the way in the US? You should have just let me do it."

"I'll have you know, I got that from a super popular restaurant. The owner owed me a favour and I just used it on you."

"Right, I definitely have to treat you to a major meal when you return." Futaba trailed off. "Will you guys be coming for Succhan and Siena's concert?"

"Unfortunately no, we have one last concert to do here and a few more photoshoots and recordings. The next week will be incredibly busy."

"I see." Futaba starts to take the dishes out of the bag. She expected to be taking out plastic containers, but found herself taking out actual bowls.

The pork and rice soup was in an earthen pot, and the side dishes were in fancy looking plates.

"Holy crap, what kind of restaurant are you ordering from?" Futaba cursed staring at the beauty of the meal in front of her.

"One that I definitely plan to take you to in person when I get back."

"Deal, we definitely have to go." Futaba started to unwrap everything and picked up the chopsticks. She placed her phone on the phone stand and requested a video chat.

Ran responded moments later, and she sees the familiar face of her childhood friend on the screen. From the looks of it he was in the basketball court.

"Taking a break?"

"More like I demanded a break. Geez Takeyama can be really crazy. Does he think we are all like Yuhi with his unlimited stamina? I'm beat."

Futaba laughed. "It's not easy being an international star. But, M5 is doing really well. It's hard for asian artists to make it in such a short amount of time. But you guys are doing really well."

"Not to diminish mine and the others efforts, but I think we only caught this much attention because of Yuhi."

"Hmm, I've heard that Terashima is good, but aren't you exaggerating?"

Ran shakes his head. "I thought Sumire was amazing, but Yuhi is really different. I can understand why she always says he is better and why she strives to be like him."

"Then if he is that good, I'd really like to challenge him myself when you get back."

Ran looked at her in disbelief and exhaled deeply. "Now I remember why the two of you are best friends, your both so reckless."

Futaba shrugged. "There is nothing wrong with a good challenge. Because idols can only truly evolve if there is someone ahead of them. I hate to say it, but since Succhan left. The music scene in star town only has me shouldering everything. I'm not even that good, but I'm suddenly being considered a sensational artist."

The media really do know how to over exaggerate. Moreover, because they are suddenly paying more attention to her. They are making up stories about how Succhan only used her for her connections, and their friendship being a lie.

It took all her will power not to react.

If Terashima really lives up to his title then she wants to challenge him.

"You? Your not that good? I could have sworn you helped Sumire train."

Futaba rolled her eyes. "That was a long time ago. Besides Succhan has long surpassed me. I may have helped her train, but the girl herself had natural talent."

"Still, your plenty talented Futaba."

Futaba felt her cheeks colour at those words and Ran's cheeks also turned pink.

"Why are you getting embarrassed too?" Futaba exclaimed.

"Uh, the conversation turned really serious there." Ran trailed off. "I'm not just saying you are good because we are close friends."

"R-right, I know. Uh, this really is good." Futaba re-directed the conversation back to the meal. "You can't forget to take me to the restaurant."

Ran laughed. "I won't."

After chatting for a few minutes, Futaba ended it. Ran-chan's words and his expression when he spoke about Terashima lingered in her head. Perhaps- Futaba walks over to the couch and takes out her ipad and types Terashima's name on the search bar. If she can't get any sleep, she may as well do something useful.

A few videos later, Futaba finds herself bolting up and gripping the tablet tightly. This isn't just good. She always thought the rumors about Terashima being the God of music were exaggerated. The entertainment industry loved to exaggerate things and Terashima was clearly a favourite because of his good looks. Since he debuted at a young age, it was easy to manipulate him.

But, those rumors werent exaggerating. Rather the media haven't praised him enough.

Terashima Yuhi, is really amazing.

This is the second time she has had this feeling

Futaba takes out a half written song from behind the cushions and picks up her guitar.

(Song: Kings and Queens

Composition: Ibuki Sumire

Lyrics: Momoi Futaba)

If all of the kings had their queens on the throne

We would pop champagne and raise a toast

To all of the queens who are fighting alone

Baby, you're not dancin' on your own

Can't live without me, you wanna, but you can't, no, no, no

Think it's funny, but honey, can't run this show on your own

I can feel my body shake, there's only so much I can take

I'll show you how a real queen behaves, oh

No damsel in distress, don't need to save me

Once I start breathin' fire, you can't tame me

And you might think I'm weak without a sword

But if I had one, it'd be bigger than yours

It was one of the songs she was working on with Succhan when their friendship was still okay. She isn't good at composing, but she does have some skill thanks to Succhan helping her.

The media in star town are calling her an exceptionally talented artist, and while she may have the skills to fit into the top bracket of entertainers. The reality is, she hasn't released a new song since Succhan left. But, because the media hasn't paid much attention to her, they hadn't noticed.

Succhan is working really hard to achieve her dreams, and not just her. But their mutual friends, the guys in nanairofeather. Even if they are away from their loved ones, they are striving to do their best. She should also work hard.
