Present Day : Music

~Your P.O.V~
As promised yesterday, Maya and I continued our assignment in between classes and I could say we finished about 45%. "Did you listen to the music yet?" Maya asked eagerly. "Instead of listening, I ended up streaming the entire movie." I answered. "You watched the movie? How was it?". "The movie was... interesting. Had a lot of harakiri on the first half--Not that I disrespect it! But overall the movie has interesting dynamics between the characters and the soundtracks are amazing! You're right, I really like it." I answered.

"I knew you would..." Maya gave me a smug. "Alright, alright... are we going to continue it?". "How about tonight? Same place same time?" Maya asked back. "I'd love to but I have a gig tonight. Maybe tomorrow, okay?" I said it with an apologetic smile. "It's alright. We still have a week to finish it." Said Maya with a smile. I thanked her for understanding and we went back home. I arrived and finished all of my chores.

I just finished shower and I got a notification. I opened my phone and it was a message in the group chat from Ryouma. He informed us about the place and we have to got there at 7 o'clock. I asked if I have to play the bass again and he replied that I'm back on the keyboard. Oh how sweet relieve that gave me... I replied a few thank you and the rest replied with laughing emojis. "Don't forget 7 o'clock so we can practice!" Ryouma reminded us again and we happily replied with thumbs up.

I put on a (f/c) comfy shirt with jeans and matching sneakers. I tied up my hair and put on light make up so I'll look a little fresh. I checked the time and it was half past six so I decided to go. I locked the door and went outside to call a cab to the place. When I arrived, Esaka was the first to arrive. I paid the cab and walked to him. "Hey, Saka! You're early tonight." I waved to get his attention. "Oh, hi (y/n)!" he waved back. "You're early too." He added. "I don't want to miss the rehearsal. It's been a while for my fingers to be more relaxed." I commented.

Few minutes later, Ryouma and Miku finally arrived. "Hey you two... looking comfy, aye?" Miku teased while walking. "Shut your face, Mikuma." Said Saka. "Yeah right..." Miku sticked out her tounge and I chuckled. We entered the place and it was pretty quiet. We went to our respective place and instruments and started rehearsing. As usual, Ryouma already prepared a list of songs for us. We usually only play few songs so the others can have their turn but Ryouma always prepares more. He even listed fifteen songs for us once!

The hour finally came and we waited in the back for our turn. We waited a bit long and we came up to the stage after the performer before us was done. 'I guess Ryouma booked us a bit late' I giggled at the thought. We played five songs and we went back to pack our stuff after we finished. "That was fun!" said Saka. "I missed the keyboard so much..." I added. "It's been a while for all of us to perform.". "I agree if SOMEONE doesn't always have excuses for now showing up." Saka shots a glare at Miku. "Hey!" Miku could only get that one word out.

"Before we leave..." we stopped and Ryouma gave us tickets. "Is this...?" I couldn't believe what I see. "A ticket for Yellow Magic Orchestra's performance this Saturday? You're the best, Ryouma-san!" said Saka excitedly. "How did you...?" I was still loss of words to ask. "I heard about it and when I knew we were going to play together, I thought why don't we go together too? You guys can have fun or maybe pick an inspiration or two." Ryouma shared his thought.

Saka and Miku were thanking and complimenting Ryouma but I still couldn't believe what just happened. "Are you okay, (y/n)?" Miku worriedly asked. "Ah! It's nothing. I was surprised." I answered. "Does that mean you'll come?". "Of course I am! This is going to be the best night ever!" I excitedly answered and the rest was happy at my reply. We exited the place and went back home.

(the next day...)

I woke up the next morning and I remembered the ticket than Ryouma gave, it was on the desk. "I better put you where I won't forget..." I picked it up and I put it in the pocket of my binder case. I took a quick shower and put on my usual (f/c) long sleeve tee under a hoodie with jeans and matching sneakers. I made toast for breakfast and packed my things with my laptop. I had breakfast, locked my door and went to college.
