Rui starts telling me about what the troupe does. I have to admit, I am a bit fascinated. I don't know if I'll be able to be good at it though.. 😣

He also introduces me to Emu and Tsukasa.

He then makes me practice lines and moves for the new play that they're working on. I'm kind of embarrassed 🥺..

"Are you sure I'm the right person for thhis?" I ask. "Yes, you're the perfect person for this" Rui says. "I'm gonna get your costume to see if it fits you, be right back!" He dashes off.

I look at the other members, who are just sitting on the benches, watching me. Is this how it's gonna be for the rest of my life? Performing on a stage with people watching me?!😨

"Are you nervous?" Nene says. "What does it look like?!" I yell at her. She stares at me, in silence. "I-I'm sorry I just-....." I start, "I'm just kind of surprised. I would have never guessed that I'd be doing this.😕.."

"You can leave if you want to." Nene says, bitterly.

"I... I don't want to let anyone down..😓" I say.

Nene opens her mouth, but before she could say anything, Rui comes dashing back with a costume in his hand.

"I have your costume, Y/N!" Rui says as he gives it to me "Go and try it on to see if it fits."

I take the costume and go behind the stage and try it on. It's a bit too big but it might work.

I go back to Rui "It's a little too big." I say.

Rui smiles and says "It looks good though." "Thank you ☺️" I say.

"Is it comftorable" Rui asks "Yes" I answer.

"That's good." Rui says "Ok let's practice all together"

"Are you sure I'll do good? I don't have much experience so I might mess up and embarass 😞" I say nervously.

"You'll do great fine." Rui says "I promise"

I smile at him "Thank you"

"Is everyone ready?" Tsukasa asks.

Everyone nods and we start the show.

It's off to a great start. I'm having so much fun!

It's time for my next line. I walk over to Rui but then I trip over a rock!! 😭

I think I'm going to get a concussion... Huh? I didn't hit the ground?

I can feel something holding me. I look up. Rui?! Rui caught me! I blush. "Th-Thank you-!" I say.

"Of course." Rui says.

I stand up and we continue the show.

TBC 😍😍🥰🥰😘😘☺️
