《A Collection of Short Stories: Quiet Girl》29. What to Say...

Cassie sat on her bed exhausted after doing nothing, a productive day for her. She finished the last video she wanted to watch and then looked at the time.
“Oh, it’s almost time.” Cassie paired her phone to her tv and kept refreshing the page until it finally showed up.
First was Terumichi, she clicked on his video and watched a vibrant splash of color run across the screen until it made a circle then a point in the middle.
Eventually, the video actually started and Cassie saw Terumichi’s ashy brown hair, the camera flipped until we could fully see his side profile. Terumichi then looked at the camera and gave a knee crippling smile. He opened his mouth and it cut to their symbol before playing the last part of the song Cassie had heard for hours and hours after helping with the lyrics. She laughed a bit once it was over.
“Sorry Amai, but damn is he pretty! I see him all the time without makeup and I swear he looks exactly the same, but when he wants to be even more stunning he can do it for sure.” Cassie sighed, “See Cassie, he could be knee deep in-” Just then Amai’s teaser premiered. “Okay, I might be unloyal for a second.” She clicked on it and sat through the same logo. Amai’s was the opposite and this time the screen was dark, when it came into focus Cassie had to cover her mouth.
It had shown all of Amai’s back and he wasn’t wearing a shirt. He began to turn around and Cassie sat up on the couch, but then it cut to a black screen playing a different song. Cassie groaned out and threw her phone into the couch.
“Come on! You people know we came for that! We don’t even know someone's gonna be shirtless and you stop it there?” Cassie groaned and retrieved her phone before giving both videos a like. She sighed and pushed her hair back. “They’re both beautiful so how am I supposed to pick? Being loyal sure is difficult, but one thing’s for sure, if Terumichi ever goes shirtless that’ll be the end of me.” She actually went back on Amai’s video and got a screenshot of his bare back. “I don’t care,” She said to no one but herself, “I deserve this without having the real person.” She sighed and sat back, “Now I’m all hot and bothered.” She groaned and tried to find something else to watch until she passed out, but it was then she got three text messages, two from Terumichi and one from Amai.

They were polite enough to assume she was sleeping, but they both asked her opinion on the teasers. Cassie just sat there.
“Uh… they were hot?” She stared at the screen unsure of what she was to say. On one hand, she could just send some generic ‘oh it was really good!’ but it sounded fake to her; the only thing she could think to say was that they were hot? No, she needed to say something productive.
Cassie stared at the screen for a long time, it was then she realized she really was a huge pervert. Everything that came to mind was talking about their body and that wasn’t what she wanted them to focus on. She knew they worked really hard on this debut and for her just to idolize their bodies wasn’t something she wanted to do. She sighed and opened up a notepad, she made two separate paragraphs for each of them. She sat back and started brainstorming.
She laughed, “You know for a fucking writer I sure am an idiot.” She sighed and thought about Terumichi’s. “Okay… Michi, that was soo good! Is that a part of the MV or is it something separate that you shot? Plus that smile made me bust a nut- okay no, but I think that’s enough? Whatever, I’ll write Amai’s and see if it’s enough. To Amai, why was your shirt off? You know that’s illegal in this country! Plus, why even work out? Your ass is already so damn ripped you could tear me in half… okay so we’re not sending that, but good start I guess?” She groaned and rested with her head hanging over the couch. “What do I say to Amai? I feel like Michi’s is just some cop out response, but I can’t really say anything- Oh!” She shot up, “I bet Amai was upset they used that song for you and not him, but you sounded really good! Can’t wait for the whole album! Okay, that’s good enough for Michi.” She composed that and sent it to Michi, now she focused on Amai.

“What the actual fuck do I say to something where he was completely shirtless the whole time?” Cassie pondered on this for a while and a few minutes turned into a full blown hour and before she knew it the time had turned midnight.
She sighed thinking she couldn’t blow this off for any longer. Cassie quickly wrote down; “I guess what you were saying about working out was true, I couldn’t see the full results, but I think it looks really good so far. Don’t stress yourself out too much over that okay? You’re an amazing dancer with or without what you did!” She sighed. “I don’t know dude, that’ll just have to be good enough.” She put that and sent it to Amai. She went to check if Michi had responded to her and he did.
“Thanks, it really means a lot that you liked it, I didn’t even think I did much but apparently you and the comments say otherwise… oh please, if those bitches could hear you they’d disagree so hard,” She sighed and kept reading, “But yeah, it is for something else we’re doing, Amai’s is the only one from the actual title track. Oh, well I guess that’ll be cool… fuck who am I kidding? I can’t wait to just watch that thing a million times until I get every frame where he’s shirtless!” She then sent him back a general ‘you’re welcome’ response before checking and seeing that Amai had responded as well.
“It makes me happy to read that. I was worried about it at first, because people would know me for my abs only, but as long as you know that I have talent elsewhere I can live with that title for a while.” Cassie stared at the screen for a bit and felt her face turn hot. “It really meant that much to him?” She let her phone lock and fell on the couch screaming into her pillow.
