You were at a nearby cafe, across the street where the concert was going on. You checked the time. It was thirty minutes in, and the show would end in about half an hour. You disguised yourself so Choromatsu wouldn't recognize you, had he happened to bump into you. Fortunately, you arrived at your destination with no occurrences of any sort. Facing the window, you watched as many people gathered to watch this so-called idol. You saw bodyguards at the entrance to maximize the security. The participants were only asked to flash their paper for confirmation to enter.

You bit your lip, clutching to your forged paper. You went to extremes just to get this plan to work. Standing up, you nervously made your way to exit the cafe. Traffic was light today for a Saturday, so you had no trouble crossing the opposite street. Your palms were sweaty as you kept the paper close to you. However, out of the corner of your eye, you recognized someone all too familiar.

'O...Osomatsu...?!' The name choked out in your thoughts.

You blinked to make sure you weren't dreaming, but it was reality indeed. The swaggering Matsu was humming his way up the sidewalk in your direction. Your mind went blank and your throat was dry.

Osomatsu wasn't very bright in some cases, but his intuition was flawless. You couldn't let him see you, especially after you said you were going home earlier.

'Oh no! If he sees me, the whole plan will be ruined!' You panicked.

You had to get past the bodyguards no matter what, but you had to act fast.

'I'm so sorry, Osomatsu!' You shut your eyes.

"Please, help! That man stole my ticket! I can't get inside without it!" You screamed at the bodyguards, pointing at Osomatsu.

Osomatsu's jaw went slack as he stopped in his tracks.

"W..What?!" He said in disbelief.

However, the guards didn't have any second thoughts as they interrogated him. You snatched the opportunity to dart in and sneak past the door.

"What are you talking about?! I don't have a ticket!" You heard his voice drone outside.

Your insides sank after you realized what you had done, but there was no turning back now. You were inside.

It was a rave party. People were throwing drinks and screaming at the top of their lungs. Some were slumped on the floor, probably because they had one too many drinks. You stepped over a couple people and crouched in the corner. It was a complete madhouse. You spotted Choromatsu toward the front, jumping around like the crazed fan he was. Thankfully, the idol was performing her last song, so the show would be over soon.

'All I need to do is hold on a bit longer.' You said to yourself.

"Hey! Can I buy you a drink?" You heard someone ask you.

"N-No thank you!" You politely declined.

The chorus broke in and the show finally ended. People gave their last hoots and whistles as they threw their glow sticks. They happily went to their dressing rooms to get ready for the meet-and-greets.

It was now time for phase two of your plan. You got up, taking a deep breath to prepare yourself.
