Your POV

The backlash I received from my last show was terrible to look at. People were making comments about it on social media. They would say stuff like...

Comment #1: What the hell was that?!

Comment #2: (Y/N)-kun has never been the type to perform like that. I wouldn't be surprised if someone provoked him.

Comment #3: Rising Dragon? More like Falling Dragon! Lol!

It was true. I was provoked... I let Sakiko's words get to me, and the price I had to pay for it...

My band members were pretty disappointed in me as well. They even suggested that we should go on hiatus until things with our fans calm down. I guess thinking about it, it does make sense. But going on hiatus... It's the last thing I want to do, but it can't be helped.

Now, Rising Dragon is on a break for who knows how long, and I am walking outside in the rain, regarding my actions. As I did, I noticed someone up ahead. Someone I was not expecting to see.

"It appears we meet again." Saki says as she looks at me with a smile that looks innocent. However, I can tell that deep down, she's anything but innocent.

"And what the hell do you want now?"

"Oh my, are you getting angry at little ol' me? You make it sound like I did something bad."

"That's because you did, by getting under my skin!"

Sakiko just shrugged off what I just said, as if what I just said meant nothing to her.

"Oh please, you shouldn't get mad at me because you can't handle a little bit of criticism."

She starts to walk past me, and as she did, I can hear her say...

"Now everyone knows what the famous (Y/N) (L/N) is really like."

Sakiko walks away for good, and here I am, still standing in the rain trying to process everything she just said. I guess she's right, now that people know how I behave, there's no chance of me recovering from this.

As I stood in the rain feeling lifeless, someone came towards me and placed an umbrella over my head. That snapped me back into reality, and I looked over to see who was next to me.

To my surprise, it was...

"Uika?!"

"I had a feeling I would find you here." She smiled at me.

"What are you doing here?"

"I was on my way home when I noticed you were down in the dumps."

"Oh, and I guess you know why I am feeling this way?"

"I do, and while I don't approve of what happened, I don't exactly approve what Saki-chan said to you either."

At least it's good to know that I got someone supporting me to help me get through this backlash period.

"And trust me when I say, you can bounce back from this. I believe in you."

Uika smiled at me, and after hearing everything she said, I couldn't help but smile back at her.

"Thanks, Uika. Having your support throughout all of this is really appreciated."

"Yeah, and to take your mind off of this, I think it'll be a good idea for you to come to this event."

She handed me something before walking away, but not without giving me that cute smile, plus wave.

I looked to see what she gave me. Turns out that it was a ticket for a live performance that was happening soon.

"Ave Mujica..."

To be continued

A/N: Time to focus on Ave Mujica once again, and this time, it's Uika.
Be sure to look forward to the next chapter. :)
