That night, I told my mom about my decision to join the cultural exchange program of our school. She was hesitant at first but she finally gave in. I felt a little guilty because it didn't take much convincing for her to allow me. I knew how difficult it was for her to let me leave a foreign country, away from her. I'm her only daughter and I could feel that she only cater to my whim for me not to rebel as she was probably worried that I was affected by her separation with dad. I don't have any plans to rebel.

I've already accepted their decision to separate and I'll support them if they want to find new partners. I'd rather see them happy separately than miserable together.

She made me promise to call her regularly and study well. I felt guilty even more because I knew that my main objective in going to Japan wasn't really about studies.

I told Emily and Shelly about my plans and as usual, they were against it and told me that I shouldn't go if my only motive was to see Saint. I realized how unfair they were to me and how apparent that they prefer Charlie.

What difference do we have? If I know, the only reason she auditioned at Rhombus was to see Yuto.

In the end, I convinced Shelly to apply at the Cultural exchange program. Of course, I want Shelly to see Saint too. I won't be happy If I'm the only one who's going to see him. I'm not a selfish friend unlike some people.

At first, Shelly's parents did not want to let her go. She just came from the Philippines and she's going again to the other part of the world but they changed their mind eventually when they found out that I would be with her.

Poor Emily, her parents were totally against it.

I managed to book the same flight with Shelly so the long trip wasn't boring.

The good thing is we're also roommates in our high school dorm so we will be seeing each other often.

We were still in the airport but I wanted to scream in excitement. Imagine walking in the same floor that Saint had walk on whenever he's going abroad.

We took a taxi going to the school. Shelly looked so nervous as if she wanted to catch the last flight going back to America.

I'm nervous too but I'm desperate to see Saint and nothing would make me change my mind. Even if I kind of feel lost like I'm in a Japanese drama without subtitle.

I do have a basic Japanese language background which helped a lot for us to find our way and we arrived at the university safe.

The dorm was neat even if it was a little smaller than my room. There was a great view of the school ground and it has close proximity to coffee shops and bookstores.

There were two single beds, two wardrobes and a small refrigerator.

A few moments later, we were busy putting our belongings in the drawers. We even decorated our room with our SNEWM posters.

I really want to go out this week to check if there are music stores around. I need to find new stuff to add to my collection.

"Let's visit Charlie," I heard Shelly said while unpacking her bag.

I secretly made a face. She didn't even bother calling since she arrived in Japan.

"Maybe, she's busy," I shrugged. I kind of hate it when a friend would talk about another person while I'm with her. I feel like she wasn't enjoying my company. I also don't want my friend inviting someone else if we agreed to meet especially if she hasn't inform me in advance. I'm a loyal friend and always make a way for my friends to feel special. Of course, I expect the same treatment.

"Please, I really miss our bonding time. I want to know if she's okay," Shelly insisted. "Let's call her, please."

I finally gave in and we tried to call Charlie in a messaging app we're using to communicate with each other but she wasn't answering.

"I'm sure they're not allowed to use social media doing weekdays," I told Shelly who was obviously disappointed.

"Let's go out," I asked her.

"I'm tired from the long journey," Shelly complained.

I was so annoyed but I decided not to force her. I didn't want to ruin my day.

After changing my clothes, I decided to go out on my own. I was so excited that I didn't feel any jetlag.

I tried walking until I found a shop that sells SNEWM merchandise. I spent almost 100 dollars for the posters, stickers and photobook I bought. I will never get tired of staring at Saint.

I was about to go home when I saw a group of teenagers. They were gathered in one corner like they were having a small meeting.

I quickly turned back when they mentioned SNEWM.

I pretended that I was looking at the window of a coffee shop in order to be able to listen to their conversation.

In my limited Japanese, I could understand that they were planning to wait for SNEWM outside Donghae Studio because they have a pictorial this coming Saturday.

What are these girls?

The group of teenage girls didn't look violent, although it was pretty obvious that they came from school as they were carrying their school bags.

I may be a crazy fan but I never dreamed of becoming an obsessive stalker.

But I really want to see Saint.

I don't want the day to pass without seeing him. I need to do something in order for us to meet as soon as possible

I quickly went home and opened my laptop to find the address of Donghae Studio.

I smiled when I found out that the studio was in the same area.

See you on Saturday, Saint.
