Yuzhen had to stay late for work at the Ent. Once they took a five minute break, Yuzhen snuck off to make a phone call. She pulled a business out of her pocket and dialed a number.

"Hello? This is Yang, What business do you have for this phone call?" A polite voice spoke from her phone, Yuzhen sighs. (I can't believe im doing this...)

-

On a bright afternoon, Yang and Akira sat in a cafe with their drink as they patiently waits for someone. Yang took a sip of her iced beverage as Yuzhen sat in front of her holding a coffee. Akira looked at Yuzhen, Yuzhen sighs. "...Thanks for meeting with me...It was last minute.." She began the conversation, Akira nodded as Yang smiled.

"It's fine! What do you wanna talk about? You seemed desperate on the phone" She asked her, Yuzhen hesitated for a second and began to speak.

"I..heard you and Eric Damian used to be performers together..." She spoke, Akira jolted as Yang kept a calm demeanor.

"I shouldn't be saying your relationship with him like it's nothing..But his brother talked to me and encouraged me to speak with you..."

Yang replied, "You're correct about..us..We used to be a prodigy duo together for HeiWa, but Eric used me for the sake of fame. It was a tough experience because I was only swayed by his affection...Like I was something important. I wanted to know him as someone sweet and hard working...But now I see greed and delusion in him." She explained calmly, Yuzhen stared at her with soft eyes.

"You knew him too do you?" Yang spoke, Yuzhen nodded as Akira realizes.

"I recognize you from somewhere...You're one of the twins of The Moon Empire noble family?" He spoke, Yuzhen jolted but nodded again.

".. I heard one of the twins was a son...and soon changed their gender to a female woman. It was you wasn't it?" Akira explained. Yuzhen bit her lips,

"I never told anyone this...but yes, my birth gender was male..but i changed my identity to female. I was a disgrace to my family because of my identity...but my sister was also casted away. Me and my sister were quite rebels, and our parents eventually kicked us out. My sister helped me with everything, we stayed at our aunt's house and we gained a love for music. We were doing well, but something happened.."

Akira and Yang looked at each other, "What happened?" Yang asked her. Yuzhen took a sip of her drink, "She met some people from school and completely changed...She acted more...cold..and our relationship began to wither. She began to become careless about me and left our home and moved to S🪐TURN with Eric and the others. I gained hatred for her...she didn't give me a reason for leaving..and before that...they tormented me..like I was something useless. The only best friend i had...was music.."

Yang noticed Yuzhen's voice started to break,

(Yuzhen...the pain in your voice, How dare
they treat you like you were something downmarket!) Yang thought, clenching her fist. "Yuzhen.." Akira mumbled, Yang stood up and sat beside Yuzhen. She held Yuzhen's hands gently.

"Do you want revenge? Do you want them to lose everything they have?...Cause I do" Yang asked her, Yuzhen looked at her with confusion and despair .

"Why?...So I can suffer again? Whatever I do...I'll be trapped again...over and over.." She replied shakily.

"You won't do it alone..." Yang lets go of her hands and smiled.

"..You'll find the happiness you deserve and your pain will be set free...far away...so you won't experience them anymore" Yang looked at her with a gentle smile, her eyes glossy as she waits for a response. Yuzhen was silent for a few seconds and clenched, she shot out of her chair and walked out of the cafe. "Yuzhen?" Yang says as she leaved the cafe. Yang walks out and follows her,

"Wait! Yang!" Akira shouts as he follows the two.

As Yuzhen walked, she sighs.

(Hah! Joining them? In her dreams! I could never accept that offer...I'll always be alone...I will never give anyone my kindness and respect...It isn't important anyway-) She suddenly gasps as she realized she walked into an alley way, she looked in front of her and sees something she didn't expect.

"Y-Yue?.." Yuzhen stutters, a girl with long white and blue approaches Yuzhen with a large grin.

"I missed you so much!....My dear sister..." She spoke.

-

Yang and Akira eventually entered the alleyway and saw Yuzhen with a woman, Yang gasp. (Its her..) They approached the two,

(Yue Sia...The twin sister of Yuzhen..) Yang thought with suspicion. "Ahh! Look who it is! It was Eric's little chess pawn!" Yue spoke to Yang, Yuzhen stared at Yue with fear.

"W-why are you here?...Shouldn't you be in another district?" She asked her, Yue grinned.

"I arrived here with my group on behalf of the ST✧R Entertainment Competition! We're all here! I'm just here shopping!" She explained as she chuckles. "No...You didn't..." Yuzhen spoke weakly, Yue laughs.

"Of course...i'm here to take your spot. You bitch...How dare you become apart of ST✧R Ent. Trainee...You were supposed to be the disgrace...A failure that only lives a peaceful life while i rule the world..You think you rise up and become top? I wonder what will happen to you when we win the competition.." She says as she smirked. Yang scoffed,

(this girl is a another level of delusion..)

"Who said you would win? " Yang spoke, stepping beside Yuzhen who was speechless. Yuzhen looked to her right, feeling utterly distressed. "Yang! Stay out of this! This is between me and her..." Yuzhen spoke to Yang. She chuckled,

"I'm in no position to get in the way of family business...But it bothers me that some group from S🪐TURN wants to take what belongs to me and my group..." Yang explained as she glares at Yue, Yuzhen jolts.

(This is a vigorous situation ...If Yuzhen's sister tries anything, Yang might do something she'll regret...And to think that Yue Sia joined Eric's group that district surprises me..) Akira thought as he watches from outside the alley way.

(I'll let her take care of it..)

Yue lets out a laugh and approaches Yang, the two came face to face as Yang held a blank stare. "Yue!" Yuzhen shouted, Yue's mouth curved into a smile.

"I like your confidence! You and your members seem more interesting than the other contestants...I think our tussle will be worth winning!" She spoke to Yang.

"Tussle? I think you got it wrong, This is only a debut competition to a music entertainment, not a fighting ring. What's with the confidence when you don't know how to sing and dance?-" Yang explained with a snicker, Yue clenched her jaw as a vein appeared on her temple.

"You little!-" She raised a fist, Akira and Yuzhen flinched. "Yang!" Akira shouted, he approached the alleyway but Yuzhen quickly grabbed Yue's wrist, Yue grunted.

"How dare you...getting physical with another participant will lead to automatic disqualifications to yourself and your members!" Yuzhen yelled at Yue, Yang was surprised by her actions.

(She saved me? This is unexpected..I was about to dodge her and twist her wrist...I'm glad i didnt do that..) Yang chuckled to herself, Yue snatched her hand away and grunted, she smiled as she held her wrist.

"Whatever...I'll see you when the competition starts...I hope we can have fun together.." She soon turned around and walked off.

Yuzhen turned to Yang as Akira approached her.

"What's wrong with you! Why did you have to confront Yue like that! I already told you about her and still had to talk back! Are you a psycho?!" She yelled at her, Akira scoffed.

"She's done worse...Trust me..I can't handle someone strong and fearless like her.." He says as he sighs, Yang smiled.

"Are you okay? To be real with you..You seem frantic earlier, even now...I can tell you're shaking.." Yang asked her, her expression changing. Yuzhen looked away,

"You already know everything...you know the answer anyway." She responded coldly. Yang nodded, "Alright..."

It was silent for a moment, Yuzhen squinted as she folded her arms.

"Come with me...This alley way is starting to creep me out." Yang says as she walks out of the alley way, Yuzhen was confusion.

"What?" They all follow as they were hit with a setting sun as they left the dark alleyway. "...Even if you try to endure all this pain...You can't do it by yourself..." Yang spoke to her, Yuzhen bites her lip.

"Its fine...I've been through so much..I can take more...Even if there's no one by my side..I'll handle it..." She clenched her fist and looked at the floor. Yang faced Yuzhen, "

"If you held all this pain in...There will be no room for happiness..." She says, Yuzhen looked at her with soft eyes. "You say there's no one by your side...But there is"

Yuzhen gasped, "Na..." She bit her lip, sighing. "She cares about you...more than anyone...She wants you to succeed..but there's something she didn't tell you..."

"...She wanted to be by your side every step of the way...She also had big dreams like you did...but watching you succeed from the sidelines was more than enough for her..."

Yuzhen felt tears running her cheeks.

They both suddenly heard footsteps beside them, Yuzhen looked and gasped. "Siaa!" Nakida yelled, she ran up to her and hugged Yuzhen tightly. "There you are! You didn't call or text me! I was so worried-" Nakida let out a long gasp. "WHY ARE YOU CRYING?! ARE YOU OKAY?!" She cried with worry. Yuzhen sniffled, she wrapped her hands around her. "No...I just missed you.." She said softly, Nakids blushed and sighed in relief.

"You're such a handful.."
