It was only last night when Michy and his cousin practiced until so late, and today was already the day for their showcase. Whether they were ready or not, they still had to perform in front of their fans today.
Both Michy and CM's fans had gathered in front of the venue with the lightsticks and banners to support their idols. It looked like their faces were blooming with enthusiasm, and a radiant smile couldn't leave their faces even just for a moment.
The fans were chatting with each other as they waited for the staff to let them in into the venue, and the interaction between the two fanbases was quite friendly.
In the entertainment industry, it wouldn't be surprising if there was a fan war involving different fandoms. The fans wouldn't fight physically, but they would fight with words on the internet.
Thankfully, Michy and CM's fans were friendly toward each other, so when the company decided to hold a showcase for the two idols, they didn't hesitate to share the spot inside the venue. Not only that, but they could even chat with each other like friends.
They had been waiting outside the venue for hours, but the door to the venue was still closed, and the staff had not let them in yet.
The atmosphere outside the venue was peaceful, and the same atmosphere could be felt inside the venue. The seats for the fans were still empty, but the stage was ready for the showcase today.
Meanwhile, the situation backstage was different. Aside from the staff, there were also the two idols who were getting ready for the performance today.
With the help from makeup artists, the two idols sat on the chairs, letting their faces become a canvas for the makeup artists.
Azren could only wait on the side with Felice. They didn't talk to each other, but the silence was broken by Felice's question, "What happened between you and Michy last night, Azren?"
Felice suddenly questioned him out of the blue, and Azren turned to the female manager with a frown on his forehead. "What do you mean, Felice?" He asked back instead of answering.
The pinkette sighed before drifting her gaze away from the idol and staring at the blonde. "Michy looks gloomy today, and I can see that he wants to keep a distance from you. You can't lie to me, Azren. So, what happened between the two of you?"
Azren didn't mean to lie to Felice, but he didn't think that something 'special' had happened last night. After chatting in the living room, they both went to their rooms. Azren didn't get an answer to his question, but he didn't think much about it. Now he noticed that Michy probably looked gloomy today because of what happened last night.
"I will try to talk to him, Felice," Azren decided, and he was about to walk towards Michy, but the door to the dressing room was suddenly opened from the outside before two women entered the room.
Azren's body froze, and even Felice looked shocked when she saw the two people.
"It must be Mr. Shelton who invited them to Michy's showcase," Felice spoke as she glanced at Azren, who still had his gaze fixated on the two newcomers.
For some reason, he felt uncomfortable when he saw the two people, but he still tried to flash a smile at Felice. "It's normal to invite them, Felice. Trissa is Michy's girlfriend, and Tallie is Trissa's mother. We should have expected it that Mr. Shelton invited them today."
Azren tried not to sound so bitter, but Felice gave him a weird look. Azren was nervous under the gaze, and he chose to look away from the pinkette before saying, "I want to get some fresh air, Felice. Call me if you need me later."
Without waiting for the pinkette's response, Azren started walking toward the door. He glimpsed at Michy for a moment, and he found how Michy was talking with the two women while smiling so brightly.
'Michy will be with the girl in the future, so of course, he has to smile at her that brightly,' Azren thought to himself before turning the doorknob and leaving the room.
He had stepped outside the room without noticing that Michy glanced in his direction right after the door was closed once again. He sighed, but he still smiled toward Tallie and Trissa.
"Your name is clean once again Michy. It's thanks to Trissa, right? She has helped you to clean your name, and maybe you can give her some rewards," Tallie suddenly spoke, and her daughter whined at her when she heard her mother's words.
Michy glanced at Tallie, and he also glimpsed at Trissa. He wanted to start a sincere relationship with Trissa, but Tallie still expected a reward. He didn't expect the woman would act that way, but Michy just let her be.
"Do you want something from me, Trissa? Maybe I can buy you some clothes or jewelry?" Michy questioned the young girl.
Trissa looked embarrassed by her mother's behavior, and she immediately clarified, "You don't need to listen to my mother, Michy. She was just joking, and you don't need to reward me with anything."
Perhaps Trissa was the one who was sincere towards him. He wasn't blind, and he knew that the girl liked him for real. That was why he also wanted to try to give his relationship with Trissa a chance.
"Trissa is right," Tallie suddenly spoke again. "I was just joking earlier, so you don't need to show me that face, Michy."
Michy glanced at Tallie again, and he smiled sheepishly. Perhaps he was overthinking and failed to see that the woman was just joking. It was not only yesterday that he knew Tallie, and he shouldn't think badly about the woman.
"I'm sincerely happy that you're finally able to clean your name, Michy," Tallie spoke again. "Now that you finally get back your clean name, you shouldn't do anything that can risk your future. What you are doing won't affect your career only, but it might affect Seventius as well. You know that Seventius will be yours in the future, right? You have to take care of it for the sake of your adoptive parents."
Tallie suddenly said something serious, and Michy's face turned gloomy. "Seventius is not mine, and it won't be mine in the future either, Mrs. Fletcher. Please don't say something like that to me."
Tallie looked like she wanted to argue, but then Trissa held her mother's arm. "Mom, can you please let me speak with Michy privately? I want to say something to him," she said to her mother.
The older woman frowned, but she sighed as she decided to relent, "I got it. I will leave you two, so just use the time to get closer to each other, alright?"
Trissa nodded her head, and Tallie flashed a small at Michy before leaving the dressing room. Trissa could heave a sigh of relief before pulling a chair to Michy's side.
Michy had done with his makeup, and he could talk freely with his girlfriend.
"You don't need to think about what my mom just said, Michy," Trissa started as she stared at the silver-haired idol. "She's just concerned about your adoptive parents, but the decision is still in your hands. Don't let what my mother had just said bother you."
Michy had to admit that Trissa was such a mature girl. They were the same age, but somehow, Michy thought that the girl was more mature than him.
Raising his hand carefully, he then caressed the girl's head. The gesture stunned the girl, but she didn't say anything and just let her boyfriend show his affection towards her.
"I'm alright, and you don't need to worry about me, Trissa."
The girl smiled when she saw how tender her boyfriend was towards her. Indeed, Michy had been treating his girlfriend so well, and it seemed that his girlfriend was touched by his soft treatment.
The two people were enveloped by a warm atmosphere even if they were not the only ones in the room, but then Michy could see his phone vibrate on the table. He stretched out his hand to reach the phone, and once he grabbed the phone, the primrose phone strap dangled from the phone.
Trissa recognized the phone strap because it was the phone strap that Michy bought on their first date, and she smiled because the idol indeed used the phone strap.
"It's my uncle. I will answer the phone now, so please excuse me," Michy spoke to the girl before getting up from the seat. The girl smiled at him, and he immediately walked to leave the dressing room.
Now Trissa could only sit on her chair as she sighed, but then she could feel a light tap on her right shoulder.. When she looked up to the side, she could find a girl scowling at her.
