"Know me well...and your destiny will be changed forever." - William A. Zeppeli

-(Y/N)'s P.O.V-

Hello everyone, my name is (Y/N) (L/N), and I'm just your average 18-year-old male teenager. You could say average, but I am a childhood friend of a singer. My childhood singer of mine was Hatsune Miku, and I've known her for a very long time.

Throughout the years of my life with her, her dream was to become a Singer around the world to become famous.

I, on the other hand, have been her Jack-of-all-Trades. The reason why I am the Jack-of-all-Trades for Miku is that she needs a pianist, drummer, guitarist, saxophonist, and backup singer.

I became that music producer for her, that's what I think to myself.

...

Jackson "Paps" (L/N): Hey kiddos, how's life?

I can notice my own grandfather known as Jackson (L/N), but we call him "Paps" as his nickname.

(A/N: We're going to change the "great-grandfather" to "grandfather" because why would someone's great-grandfather would be alive for THAT long throughout the modern era?!)

Paps then noticed that Miku was hugging me from behind as he smiled in amusement.

Paps: Are you two dating?

Miku: No, we're just friends~!

(Y/N): Yeah...just friends...

I said with a frown expression to which Paps noticed it. He knew that I have been friend zoned by Miku.

...

I devoted my life and love to her. But...she didn't notice the love I had for her over the years since we were kids.

However, there was something that my own grandfather gave me a small piece of advice that would change my life to a different path. A path that would reach happiness...

-In the Present Time-

I was in my room and holding a single picture frame of Miku and me as kids, grinning happily at the camera.

I smiled at the picture until I hear a soft knock on the door.

(Y/N): Come in!

I tell the person who knocked at my door.

The door opens, revealing to be my Paps.

Paps: Hey kid, how are you doing?

Paps asked in a slightly concerned tone as I paused for just about 2 seconds before speaking up...

(Y/N): Well...not so much...

Paps: Is it because you were friend zoned by your own childhood friend?

Paps questioned and I stayed silent for a bit.

I then hear my Paps sighing as he walked over to me and sat beside me on my bed.

Paps: (Y/N).

(Y/N): Hm?

Paps: I'm sure you're already aware that Miku has been dating and broken up by a lot of men that she was in a relationship with, yes?

(Y/N): Yeah, but...

I paused at the start of my own sentence as I begin to think about everything about Miku's past relationship with the other guys.

It does anger me for them of breaking her heart and I'm the guy who could just fix her up.

I have a thought in mind by walking up to Miku and saying "I'll treat you better than them!". However, thinking about that makes me want to say "No, I don't want that".

Paps: "But" what?

I let out a small sigh before speaking up.

(Y/N): Paps, what can I do to make her notice me? A love that I held for her since we were kids until now. Just...what do I do...?

I asked him in a desperate tone as my grandfather pauses for a few moments before speaking up.

Paps: It's best if you give up on that, my boy.

I looked at Paps with a shocked face.

(Y/N): What?! What do you mean by that?!

I asked with my voice raised as my Paps gave me a level-headed expression. I realized that my emotions got hold of me in an instant as I quickly calmed myself down before saying...

(Y/N): S-Sorry Paps...I didn't mean to yell at you like that.

I said apologetically with my head lowered in shame.

Paps stayed silent within a few moments again as he lets out a deep sigh before speaking up.

Paps: It's just that you're desperate for her attention. I've heard of that kind of experience before.

(Y/N): You do?

Paps: *Nods* Yes. Desperate for someone's attention can cause damage to your own mental state and the relationship with that person. Whether a friend that you've known for a long time or something like that. And now, it's happening to you, (Y/N).

Hearing that made me stunned. Have I really not been taught about relationships? Or is it that I'm just delusional about my own actions?

Paps: *Places his left hand on (Y/N)'s right shoulder* (Y/N), it's best if you look somewhere else.

(Y/N): Look...somewhere else...?

I asked in confusion.

Paps: You know, like...why don't you try thinking for yourself?

(Y/N): For...myself?

Paps: You love Miku because you choose to. So, I'm thinking that you need to change your own ways so that your own life on whatever path you choose could lead you to true happiness, my boy.

(Y/N): (Choosing a path that could lead to true happiness, huh...?)

I thought to myself until I hear Paps speak up.

Paps: Anyways, it's best if you could get some sleep, otherwise, you'll get turned into a zombie.

Paps says jokingly as I let out a small chuckle before speaking up.

(Y/N): Sure. Thanks for the advice, Paps.

Paps: Anytime, my boy.

And just like that, Paps left my room and closed the door behind him.

I then lay on the back of my bed and let out a deep exhale before drifting off into sleep.

However, a weird dream appeared during my sleep.

After that weird dream, my body jolted me to wake up immediately.

I let out a few heavy breaths as I touched the right side of my face. I felt it was sliced open vertically by that mysterious priest floating beside a white-skinned centaur.

That's when I can notice the window on my right and see sun rays shining down from the outside, indicating that it was now morning.

(Y/N): Whew, what a weird dream. That dream literally accelerated time to morning, but I still feel refreshed after waking up. Well, whatever. Might as well eat some breakfast.

I said to myself as I got off my bed and start to arrange it before heading downstairs to eat breakfast.

(A/N: That's that! Stay tuned for more!)
