Kapitel 3: When Eyes Meet
When Ashton got inside the venue he saw the familiar tunnel leading deeper underground and the small LED lights that trailed the floor all the way down lighting up the way. It wasn't too far of a walk but it took a few minutes longer than it should have due to the high influx of people making their way down alongside him. Once he finally got to where the tunnel flattened out he was met with the sight of the beautiful underground arena once more.
The area that Ashton stood at was the top of the large arena where you could see as far as the large expanse went from all of the merchandise tables on the left and right sides to where you could head down even farther to where seats closer to the stage were. The stage itself was even farther down where at the bottom of the seats it took up all the room on the bottom floor. The stage itself was a large flat circle that allowed the groups to entertain an audience at a full 360 degrees. This was difficult for many groups to get used to since most stages were facing in one direction but all of the regulars at the Star Lounge were used to it.
Now that Ashton was inside of the lounge he checked his phone to check the time and saw that Burning Roses were going to perform in less than 10 minutes. This put a pep in Ashton's step as he quickly made his way down more stairs and rows of seats until he reached the very bottom in front of the stage where there were a few more guards guarding a little gate that went into a little floor area for VIP attendees.
Normally Ashton would pull out the pass he had purchased online that gave him access to his area but instead, he decided to show the journalist pass that the guards at the front had given him. When the guard saw the pass their eyes widened a little before they opened the gate for him with a smile letting him inside the little floor area without any questions.
It was a shock to Ashton that this pass had so much power and he could only thank his previous dumb self who had accidentally turned the camera around mid-video to show his face.
While it was partially true that the stage covered the entire bottom floor, it was not entirely true. The little area that Ashton had just entered was a small floor area that encircled the entire stage for those who wanted the most personable experience with the idols and their performance to enjoy. This also allowed Ashton to get a better camera angle so he could take good videos of the Burning Roses and enjoy the show himself.
Once Ashton finally got his camera set up and found a good spot to enjoy the performance the announcer in the lounge began introducing Burning Roses which made Ashton also suddenly realize that Drew had yet to show up so far, 'I hope he makes it in time.' Ashton thought to himself.
"Now introducing one of our up-and-coming groups, the Burning Roses! This group consists of four members such as the always adorable Mai!" The announcer shouted over the speakers introducing each of the members starting with Mai who rose from beneath the stage wearing a dark yellow and red outfit that had a burning rose emblem in the middle. This outfit also accentuated her petite frame and improved the image of her short black hair that went with her smiley cute expression.
"Next we have the forever dynamic duo of Suko and Nanako!" The announcer shouted as two more people rose from the floor. Suko the girl that provided backup to the other three looked much different from the cute Mai as she had piercings all over her ears and even a belly button ring that showed from her crop top version of the same outfit that Mai was wearing. It was a strange choice all things considered especially with her multi-colored hair but since the group dabbled in all kinds of music so far it wasn't too far to be considered unappealing.
Beside her Suko rose from beneath the stage wearing an outfit identical to Mai's but in a much larger size since she filled out all of the right places in addition to her long blonde hair making some of the people beside Ashton drool in delight at the beautiful spectacle. Suko was the tallest out of the group and also admittedly the bustiest filling out all areas so this kind of sight and reaction Ashton was used to, including her smirking expression as she stared into the crowd giving them all faster heartbeats.
"Then last but not least! The one who made this beautiful masterpiece happen, the one, the only, leader of the group Miko!" The announcer screamed as the final member of the group came up from under the stage. Ashton's jaw dropped at all of the members every time but it was always Miko that gave him the most shock with her perfect entrance. With her beautiful hourglass figure and bust that in no way lost to Suko by much Miko was a figure to behold and almost like a dark angel as her long black hair ensnared the hearts of those watching.
As the final member of Burning Roses made it to the stage Ashton cheered until his lungs already almost gave out while also stopping his recording that got each of the members entrance. This was an exciting moment for him as he had waited for this all day but one strange thing happened as Miko made it onto the stage and joined her fellow members. All of them seemed to be searching the crowd for a moment before Ashton thought Suko caught eye contact with him for just a second.
This point was further proven when Miko looked directly at Asthon for a moment seemingly with a tense expression before her face relaxed when they locked eyes for half a second. It wasn't long but they locked eyes for just a moment which left Ashton unable to think for a moment as the group began their first song on stage, 'Am I imagining things?' Ashton questioned to himself.
