hazelle steps foot into the skating rink, her group mates cheering her on.

the girl was guesting in the four continents championships gala in gangeung, korea. since hazelle is the leader of the most popular girl group in the country at the moment, the organizers thought it would be a good idea to bring the so-called 'american ice lily' back on the ice, despite retiring a year after she entered the juniors.

hazelle saw some familiar faces - yui, natalya, yurik, himawari, yuki, most of her friends in the skating industry, basically.

"alright, let's get paired up!" the choreographer for the opening routine calls out. hazelle nods, noticing one of the company staffs taking videos for an episode on their youtube channel. hazelle gave a quick wave before skating towards the center where everyone was.

everyone was getting paired up, but all of her male friends were already getting paired with girls, some she doesn't know.

"ah yes! ms. hazelle, please pair up with hanyu yuto. yuto, raise your hand please." says the choreographer.

hazelle nods, the last name sounding familiar. then it clicked - that's wyatt's middle name.

"okay." hazelle nods, turning around to find who this yuto kid was. she sees wyatt pushing some guy playfully.

"haze, this is the man." wyatt smiles sheepishly before turning to yui, his partner for the routine. "yuto, that's hazelle. you don't have to wait for their concert anymore, man." wyatt turns back to yuto.

yuto, as wyatt introduced, seems to be around her age, younger than wyatt. he has a shy demeanor, and based on what her friend had said, he must be a fan of their group.

hazelle smiles. "i'm—"

"ji hazelle, leader of musicality, main vocalist and main dancer." yuto nods, taking hazelle aback. "yeah, i know, i'm a muse, so..."

"oh, really?" hazelle laughs. "the others are there." she says, pointing to the seats where her group mates are.

"we better get to practice." yuto clears his throat, putting his right hand out. "shall we?"

hazelle nods, taking his hand. "let's go."

"that guy you're with, you look cute together." hayoung, the youngest member, smirks, as the group of five sat in their van.

"what?" hazelle chokes on her water. "i barely even know him!"

"stop lying," hikari snickers. "i used to be his classmate, and he's been whipped for you since you were like, fourteen."

"oooooh! soulmates!" haeseo hollered.

"our leader us in looooove!" hyeseon laughs.

hazelle rolls her eyes at the younger girls. "ugh, stop!"

"she's blushing, she's blushing!!!" haeseo points out.

"girls, please don't tease your leader, show some respect." their manager calls out.

hazelle sighs in relief. "thank you!"

silence filled the van, until they reached their dorm.

"go get some rest, especially you, hazelle, you have a lot of routines to do tomorrow." says their manager before leaving the five in their dorm.

"i still ship it." hayoung says after their manager left.

three months later

"fansign! fansign! fansign!" haeseo chants as the five girls enter the venue for their third japan fan signing event in tokyo, to promote their new japanese release.

"who gave her sugar?" hikari shakes her head. "hah, it's good to be back home, though!"

the girls were lead to the backstage, where their stylists got them ready to face their fans. after thirty minutes, the fansign starts.

an hour passed, and hazelle's noticed the diverse fans they have. some are teens, still in school, some are already adults, some are children, some are fanboys, and some are really shy and adorable.

"um, hello."

hazelle, being the first one on the table to meet a new fan, quickly recognized the voice.

"oh, yuto!" hazelle grins. "nice to see you here."

"haha, yeah." yuto sheepishly smiles.

hazelle takes the cap off her marker and signed the page of the album that has her picture on it. "how's life so far?"

"i qualified for the olympics, so..." yuto says, handing hazelle a paperbag. "oh, here! wyatt wanted to give you this."

hazelle reaches into the bag and pulls out a book, and not just any book, but one that's written and signed by wyatt's father.

"oh my god!" hazelle squeals, turning to her group. "guys, look!

the other four whipped their head to their leader, gasping as they saw the book.

it was a book written by the leader of one of the best kpop groups in the century, of course, the girls grew excited.

"tell wyatt thanks!" hazelle held his hand.

one year later

"a well deserved break!" hazelle sighs as she drops her luggage inside her closet.

"hazelle, sweetheart, after you get settled, we're going out!" leo calls out to his daughter.

"okay dad!" hazelle smiles, laying on her bed.

hazelle takes out her phone, seeing the notifications on the lock screen.

yuto 💕💕 [sent just now]
hi bub, i know you just landed and you need rest, but can you go out right now? ily 💕

confused by the last message, hazelle shoves her phone back into her pocket and walks out of her room.

hunter, her 10 year old brother, grins at hazelle. "sis! your boyfriend is there!"

hazelle raised an eyebrow and walked downstairs. her parents aren't in the kitchen, nor the living room, however, there was one boy in the living room that made her heart pound.

"yuto!" hazelle squealed, hugging the japanese boy. "i missed you."

yuto smiled and ruffles her hair. "i missed you too, angel."

yes, after a year of the fansign event, the two got close, and eventually got together after a few months. they were even dubbed as asia's most powerful couple of that year.

the two headed to hazelle's room to chat.
