My Happy Pill: #OT9Forever

Chapter 3

Austin's POV

"Who will be like Enrique Marquez? Who will win another VIP Ticket? Hmmm"

She got a random number again, what number will come out?

"And the number is..........My God, this is my favorite number, number 7, Austin Ross Asistio, congratulations!!! You won a VIP Ticket for the Strawberry World Tour Concert"

"YESSSS!!!! WOOOOO!!!" I felt like a fool screaming in my room when my name was said, I didn't realize it was open so my mom heard it.

"Hey Austin!! It's late in the evening already and you still making noise there!?" My mother woke up upset with my scream. "You still have work tomorrow, don't you? Why aren't you asleep yet?"

"Sorry Mom, I was just watching, I'll go to sleep after this"

"Alright, go to sleep, you're making too much noise"

I still can't believe that I won the ticket, I'm so lucky woooooh!!

ArielaMisuchi, the online streamer who did the raffle, suddenly messaged me, which means I won the ticket

.

"Hi Austin, congratulations on winning a VIP Ticket for the upcoming concert of Strawberry, to claim the prize, visit me at the Grand Central Mall, near the foodcourt, thank you and congratulations"

This is it, I will be able to watch Strawberry's concert, I will see Gyungyon, Doyoun, Hyejin, Kaori, Asuka, Misty, Yujin, Krizia, and especially Yeonjoo my precious one in person.

The following day, I went to the office early because I was happy today and liked going to work early.

"Good morning guys" I greeted my officemates sweetly, I went to my table and put my bag down

.

"Good morning Engr. Nicole"

"Good morning, engineer, it looks like you're really happy today aren't you?" -Nicole

"Hahaha, I just woke up happily a while ago"

"Hmmm it looks like" –Nicole

"Good morning sir" our boss has arrived.

"Good morning too, where is Engr. Austin?" Why is he looking for me?

"Sir?" I went to him.

"How is our project with Mr. Reyes? Any progress?"

"All good sir, the wall finishes of both floors are nearing completion, we are in the painting works today and it will be finished this week"

"That's good, I hope we can follow our schedule, okay engineer, you can go back to your work"

"Thank you sir" I returned to my table to make paper reports.

I finished my reports early to submit them to the client because I will return to the site in the afternoon, During my lunch break, I will go to the mall where I can get the ticket for Strawberry's concert.

12:15 p.m

Then the traffic eased up, and ArielaMisuchi said that she should wait for me at the food court at the Grand Central Mall which is 8 km away from the office. It looks like I'm going to be late, I wish I had asked for her contact number so I could call her, it's also lunch break that's why it's so traffic, fine, I'll see you at the mall after this traffic jam.

GRAND CENTRAL MALL

I immediately went straight to the food court to look for ArielaMisuchi, there were quite a lot of people now because it was lunch break, and I also had to go to the site later after that.

Where is she? She told me that she was just here at the food court, there were still many people today.

My phone rang and ArielaMisuchi was calling via Messenger, I forgot to turn off my phone data.

"Hello?"

"Hello, I'm just here near Kuya Jobert's Place Sisigan, I'm wearing blue sunglasses and a pink shirt, I'm so weird, right? I'm wearing shades inside the mall hahaha" -ArielaMisuchi

"Ahhhmm I'm here, I'm on my way there" I looked for the place she said she was, blue shades and pink shirt, is that her?

"Excuse me? ArielaMisuchi?"

"Austin!!" And who is this? Wrong person.

"Huh? My name is not Ariela" answered the woman I was talking to, nope she's not. Ariela was there waving at me.

"I'm sorry" She is also wearing blue shades and a pink shirt the reason for my confusion, It was a good thing Ariela called me.

I went to ArielaMisuchi. "Hello, I'm Austin"

"I'm Ariela, congratulations by the way" - Ariela

"Thank you, I'm grateful for this opportunity"

"Here you go, VIP Ticket for Strawberry's concert" Woooo!! I have the ticket in my hand, thank you, Lord. "When did you become a Strawberry fan?"

"It's only been 1 year" I answered.

"Wow, it's like you linked to Strawberry very quickly, now you can even watch them in their concert" –Ariela

"Yes, that's why I'm lucky and I'm thankful because I won your promo"

"I hope you enjoy the concert, hmmm have you had lunch yet? Come on let's eat" –Ariela

"I'm good, I still have somewhere to go, thanks again for the ticket"

"You're welcome, see you at the concert" – Ariela

I left after I got the ticket from Ariela, I'm going to the site and I want to finish the project before the Strawberry concert starts.

FAST FORWARD

3 DAYS BEFORE THE CONCERT

"Why isn't it finished yet? We would get rid of that" I was a bit frustrated by what I saw, until now all the finishing of the building is still not done. It won't be finished for three days because there are many more things to paint.

"Let's add more manpower so we can finish this on time" I suggested.

"I have nothing more to add, sir, I'm struggling to look for additional manpower" I just facepalmed, I didn't want to waste more time, apart from Mr. Reyes scolding me, I'm probably going to miss Strawberry's concert too.

1 DAY BEFORE THE CONCERT

Today is Strawberry's arrival in the Philippines, I want to wait for them at the airport but I can't leave, it's fine I'll be back tomorrow hahaha, I'll see them perform closer to me, because I have a VIP Ticket men, VIP.

I was here on the site and suddenly Mr. Reyes was on the site too.

"Sir good morning" I greeted Mr. Reyes.

"Good morning, engineer, how are you?" -Mr. Reyes

"Is it me or the project?"

"You, Because I have something additional to add, don't worry, I will extend one more week to finish it" -Mr. Reyes

"Ehhhhh??" I was suddenly quiet by what he said.

"Is there a problem engineer?" -Mr. Reyes

"Ahh nothing, sir, because..." What can I say? My goodness, Mr. Reyes is trying to interfere with my plans. "We couldn't finish it"

"Huh? Why? I've already given you a 1-week extension, all you have to do is finalize it, then redo the ceiling paint, because it's too blurry" -Mr. King

"Plus here's more, let's go around" We went around inside the building, Mr. Reyes was so annoying, the project would be over, and he still wanted to add more activities, I guess this person was fooling around with me already.

End of Austin's POV

HOTEL

Strawberry arrived in the Philippines at exactly one o'clock in the afternoon.

"Annyeong haseyo" (Hello)

"Annyeong"

"Pillipin-e osin geos-eul hwan-yeonghabnida" (Welcome to the Philippines)

When they came out of the airport, they were mobbed by their fans.

"AHHHHHH!!!!"

"Strawberry!!"

"Annyeong Gyungyon unnie!!" (Hello Gyungyon)

"Saranghaeyo, Hyejin!!" (I love you Hyejin)

"Notice me Doyoun!!"

"I love you Kaori!!"

"Yeonjoo saranghaeyo"

"Yujin maknae!"

They waved to their fans until they got to the car that would take them to the hotel where they would be staying.

"Jinjihage, gunjung" (There's a lot of people here)–Hyejin

"Ne, uliga ol ttae neomu manh-eun salamdeul-eul boassseubnida" (Yes, I never thought that there were so many people when we arrived) –Krizia

"Bwa, gwaenchanh-a" (Look, it's so beautiful) –Kaori

Habang papunta sila sa kanilang hotel ay pinagmasdan nila ang kapaligiran at napahanga naman sila sa mga nakikita nila.

"Wae ulineun meomchwo?" (Why did we stop?)–Doyoun

They stopped because of the traffic.

"Yeojaleul jinjeong, teulaepig-eun sigan-e heuleum" (Don't worry girls, the traffic here won't last long) Their interpreter answered. "By the way, there is traffic here at this time"

While the girls were busy with something, Kaori was silent, just looking out the window of the car.

"Kaoli gwaenchanh-a?" (Are you alright Kaori?) –Asuka

Kaori just nods. "Eojileobjiman Tanjung-e salajil geos-ibnida" (I'm just dizzy for a little bit, but I'll be alright later)

"Najung-e kaolileul yag-eul meogseubnida. naeil undong-eul hal ttae" (Take medicine later Kaori, you need to have energy for tomorrow's concert) –Yeonjoo

"Al-a*s-eo, Yeonjoo unnie" (Yes Yeonjoo) –Kaori

THE FOLLOWING DAY

Austin's POV

This is it!! This is the day that I will watch Strawberry concert!! I'm so excited to see them. It's a good thing I'm not in the office today, see you later Strawberry my loves.

While I'm on my way, my phone rings, it's my boss. He's calling on a Saturday morning.

I answered the phone. "Good morning sir"

"Good morning Austin, can you come to the site now?"

"Huh? Well, I have an appointment right now, sir"

"There's no one to supervise the site, it can't be neglected, can you cancel your trip first? Just for now"

"I can't sir, tomorrow morning I'm free"

"So I can't hinder your appointment today? Is that very urgent for you?"

"Yes sir" this is important because I only had one chance to see them, I did everything just to watch this concert.

"Just do what I say, you will be the one in charge of the site today, if there is no problem then you can go to your appointment" Damn it! Everything is ok already on the site, why do I have to go to the site today? I can't refuse him because he's still my boss. If I can't go to the concert early, I'll lose my seat even if it's a VIP Ticket, of course, I want to see my idols up close. Damn it.
