Reordinate the Fate

New Acquaintances and Departure

Stevan and Cliff have been told by Risa that they will leave at six in the morning. This early morning, Stevan woke up first and saw Cliff who was still sleeping beside him. He reached for his cellphone, 3 A.M.

Stevan came out of his room and got a new view, "Who else are they?!" he exclaimed in disbelief.  There are two men sitting on the living room sofa. Both seemed to talk with Risa while enjoying early-morning tea.

 "Oh! You're awake, Freak?"

 "I’ll consider it a 'good morning' greeting for me. Now answer my question, who are they? Why are they and you talking here this early?"

The two men sitting opposite Risa looked at him. Stevan thought he had seen one of the man somewhere, but he did not remember. It's just that his face is familiar. "Let me introduce him, he's my friend Stevan. Stevan, they are my acquaintances William and Max. "

Stevan is certainly very familiar with the name of the first man with dark blue hair, "He's your ex isn't he?!"

"What else are you fussing about this early in the morning?"

The door behind Stevan opened and there is Cliff coming out of the room. His face was as bad as Stevan's when he’s just wake up. The face immediately became more formal when the boy look in the same direction as Stevan. "Good morning." Cliff greets the three and bowing respectfully.

"Do you know him?"  Stevan casually pointed the two men, reversal of Cliff's formal way. "I know about William, the T-race leader."  Reply Cliff.

"You're going to say that you know Will is Risa's ex, but you're too polite for that, am I right?"  Stevan guessed right so Cliff smiled a little.

Risa interrupted the two just-wake-up man who only knew that 'it was Will,  Risa’s ex' by speaking, "Come here first. I will explain to you about them."  Risa shifted so that Stevan can sit next to her, followed by Cliff.

"First, let me introduce him, his name is Cliff. Cliff, this is William and Max." Risa sipped her tea, "You're right that Will is the T-race leader. Many people also know him as my ex." Risa put down her teacup,"You two must also think that my relationship with Will is deteriorating because we broke up. At least the media and the agency's official statement confirmed that, "

"But the truth is, we have never dated." Will nodded and continued, "Me and Risa have never dated.  When rumors broke out earlier this year, Risa's agency suddenly made a claim that our relationship was right. That certainly is a big problem for me, Risa, and my agency."

"After having a long discussion because of a misunderstanding, finally the best way out is us pretending to be really dating. Both to the public and to everyone. Risa even accepts the rules as if she is dating, when in fact we don't have a special relationship."

"How can they act arbitrarily?"  Stevan protested, Will sighed, "You're not from the entertainment industry, right? This is one of the dirty sides of our industry, Stevan. "

"We cannot do many things when we are told to do something that the agencies think it's the best for us."  Risa continued, "Sounds like bullshit, but that's the reality. One more for our case, we were really discussed it and think it's the best for us too" The girl leaned back and continued the introduction,

"The spiky black-haired man is Max. I know him from Will. This man has a hobby of adventure since his youth. That's why Will introduced me to him and the three of us meet often to talk about adventure and traveling."

"Wait a minute. How did you meet? "  This time Cliff asked to Will and Risa.

"I met Will like most other Idols met." Risa explained, "We met at a live music event to promote the new album. At that time I was in the canteen and was looking at various natural tourist destinations from my cellphone. Incidentally Will was also in the canteen and he accidentally saw the beach I watched from my cellphone. "

"He accidentally mentioned the name of the beach and that's where our friendship began."  Risa concludes a little further, "That was about a year and a half ago, and after that Will introduced me to Max. I can plan the dream vacation I want because of the two of them, "

"And that dream will now become true."

"Will they join us?" Stevan pointed at the two men. Risa straightened her seat and nodded firmly, "Of course!"

"What about Lunar Entertainment?"  Cliff asked Will. The man frowned, "Do you know the name of my agency?"  Cliff nodded, "I'm a Fyor Entertainment trainee, but maybe ... Will be a former trainee from now on."

Cliff said it lightly, even laughed a little. As if being 'expelled from training' is not a big thing.  As a trainee, Cliff has the obligation to get to know the various agencies and groups produced by the agency, including with their songs and dance movements. If you want a debut, knowledge of your own industry is also important.

"My group knew about us lying to the public. I did not keep it a secret. It seems the current situation is heating up due to an additional wrong news about one of my group members, Ren, who is being accused wrongly having an affair with Risa. The situation is a bit heated up in the public, so we decided not to release the album at this time, and we got free time.”

Will leaned back, "We're gathering again in two months. We are sure all the things will subside at that time. So I have free time now. Luckily, I was able to take part in this 'escape' vacation."

"You didn't answer anything," criticized Cliff.

"You said you know my agency. You should also know that we tend to be loose about things. We solve many things by discussion and find the best solution. I myself did not accept the rules of dating, because my agency knew we were not really in a relationship.”

Cliff has often heard information that Lunar Entertainment is a friendly and pleasant agency compared to many agencies in the entertainment industry. Many of Cliff's trainee acquaintances know that they have registered for training at Lunar Entertainment because they like the agency atmosphere that is comfortable and friendly.

"Your group?"  Cliff kept asking so he chuckled.

"Forgive him, Will. But he is the best trainee I know. He has great curiosity, but He is faithful. I hope you will not be offended by all the questions from this little boy."

"Stop calling me a little boy, Risa!"

"My group is the same as our agency. We just chatted and that was all. There is no great debate. You also know that men rarely argue about personal relationships and gossip, right?” Even though he didn't look liking Cliff' curiousity, Will still answered Cliff's question.

"Okay, you succeed if your intention is to offend me, Will." Risa folded her arms, "But as I talked about earlier, our situation is different."

"Right. Also, I have no intention of offending you.” Will raised his teacup, "I'm just answering someone curiously in front of me." Will turned his gaze to Cliff,

 "You dare to decide living the agency during the training period. You must have a reason for being here, little boy. We will see if your reasons can make you going until the end with us, and I hope we can get along well.” Will closed the conversation by sipping his tea, ignoring Cliff's annoyance that had reached the top of his head.

6 o'clock in the morning, it's time to go. Risa came out of her room after prepare herself happily. She uses an ordinary T-shirt and loose cloth trousers. Stevan who saw the one ponytailed girl is surprised, "You don't look like Risa the Idol!"

"What does 'I look like Idol' look like?"  Risa put on her face offended.

"Well, usually you are very fashionable with skirts and sleeveless shirts, complete with glasses and hair neatly arranged by the salon. Your makeup is made as if you are a career woman with symmetrical eyebrows and— "

 Bugh!

"HOW MUCH HAVE YOU BEEN PUNCHING ME IN THIS TWO DAYS?!"

"You really deserve to be punched! You described me overboard!  I'm not like that!"  exclaimed Risa.

"I'm not overdoing it!  Who said you don't look like that, huh? " Stevan replied, not wanting to lose, "Let me pay the optical check up's fee for them."

"You really are—"

"We're not in the forest yet, hey you two."  Will returned from the restroom and interrupted them. "You still have neighbors. Wait until we are in nature and I will let you fight until you are die."

"He/She started it!" Both blame the other at the same time.

"Where is the little boy?" Will ignored the two friends' words and changed the subject, "Ah! There he is." Will pointing out when he see Cliff come out of Stevan's room with Stevan's backpack and inside it was Stevan's clothes. Stevan said he can use it, right? Cliff can see Risa and Stevan also bring a simple backpack like his.

"I am ready. But don't have the toiletries I need. How then?"

Max, who had been sitting quietly on the living room sofa, replied, "We will stop at the convenience store once if you want to buy your needs, although I have to say you won't often bathe in this 'escape'."  Max got up from his seat, "We're ready to go now, I think?"

The other four nodded and they exit Risa’s unit to the basement. Arriving at the parking lot, they are not head towards Risa's car and instead stepped into the corner of the parking lot. There is already a campervan waiting for them there!

"Are we going to ride this?" Cliff asked.

"Not for a month."  Max looked at Risa who immediately jogged around the campervan in amazement like a child. The same sight was stared at by Stevan. He has never seen Risa acting like this, at least since she became an Idol.

"You mean?" Cliff asked again,

"Yes, not a month. Later we will change vehicles for several times.” Risa suddenly -don't-know-since-when standing beside Cliff and patting the boy's back, "We've planned all this for two years, do you remember? No need to worry and ask tons of questions. Come quietly and enjoy with us. "

"OK. Let's go, I'll drive alternately with Will. He has already practiced.” Will nodded and lifted his chin proudly.

"I'll study later, if needed." said Risa.

"Me too!" Stevan continued, again not wanting to lose.

"You too, right Cliff?" Cliff touched the back of his neck and grimaced, "I don't have a driver's license." Stevan clasped Cliff's back after hearing that.

"No need to worry. It's only us who need to drive it.” said Max, "Now let's really go! No need to waste time in this place. "

All five are up. The two 23-year-old men sit in the front seat and the driver, while the rest sit in the back facing each other. Risa takes a position near the window and moves her legs vigorously.

"Finally, my happiness!"
