Dreaming of a Luminary
'Getting Addicted'
Chapter 4
Sakuno's whole afternoon was spent with much video searching on YouTube. At first, it was just plain searching for that song but it grew into something more over time.
Addiction.
She couldn't stop listening to it. The moment the song comes to an end, she would hit the replay button again.
This continued in like forever or as others say it, "Rape of the replay button." Yes, she was abusing the button but nevertheless, enjoying it.
"Goodbye, my love…"
"Even though my filling up tears soaks my whole body…"
"Step by step, you are getting far away from me…"
"Sakuno," Sumire asked, peering into her room. "Goodness! What have you been doing all this time?"
"Huh? Oh!"
Sakuno glanced at the clock hanged above her personal computer. It read 7:00 p.m.
"Gosh!" Sakuno jerked.
"I was just finished making dinner. Come down now and eat." Sumire added as she closed the doors.
"Yes, Grandma," she complied.
She scrambled frantically around her room, searching for her attractive red school bag. It was already 7:00 pm and she hasn't done a single one of their countless assignments.
"Sakuno!" called her grandmother downstairs in an impatient voice.
"Coming!" She stopped what she was doing and turned the computer off.
The dinner was delicious but Sakuno did not taste much from it. Her mind was still wandering about the information she just discovered and the amount of unfinished assignments.
~oOo~
Hours earlier, Sakuno was completely immersed with just surfing the internet, searching for pieces of information about her new favorite boy band.

Beside their names were the pictures of the different band members. She tried her hardest to memorize them all and surprisingly, it all went easily.
"Easier to memorize than most of my lessons." She thought.
Well, one might agree that it is indeed easier to remember things especially when you're quite passionate about it and Sakuno was passionate about this. Although she was new to it, she was slowly adapting herself to the 'changes'.
It all seemed as though time stopped and she was forever surfing the internet for more information about them to her heart's content. However, that was not to be.
Her grandmother came and asked her to come down and eat dinner. An interruption but she could not, of course, disobey her grandmother. She wasn't able to help preparing it; she was so absorbed with the internet. Even so, she was satisfied.
~oOo~
After dinner, Sakuno couldn't help herself but turn the computer on again.
"This must be how you feel when you're addicted."
She continued searching more of their songs and videos where they have appeared. Then, something within her awakened. It is like when you opened a door that has been kept closed for many years. It is something new but somehow natural.
"KYAAAAAAAAA!"
Welcome to the world of fangirling.
"My God! Why is he so handsome?" Sakuno said while referring to Ryoma.
"Why are you so handsome?" She said obviously just for herself.
"And your voice! Why is it so beautiful? God!" She desperately wants Ryoma to pop out of the screen so she could hug him. Don't you want that at times?
"Aw, I want to meet you!" That is certainly every fan's dream, to meet their favorite star.
When you are a fan girl yourself, you would know how Sakuno feels. If you aren't, then you could not possibly imagine.
Sakuno's night was filled with occasional fangirling and far-fetched fantasies. However, when you're a fan girl, these fantasies are not so out of reach. In fact, you want to believe these are so possible.
Sakuno literally turned into a fan girl overnight! Who would have thought! However, this poses an extra problem. With all of this fangirling business, one cannot simply focus on their studies without ever getting distracted. That was just her dilemma now. She was very engrossed that she lost track of the time.
Uh-oh.
It was past nine and she still hasn't done a single homework. Like greased lightning, Sakuno answered her numerous assignments.
"Tsk, tsk. A bad habit you're forming." Her grandmother stated calmly. Sakuno did not meet her grandmother's eyes and continued answering. "You would have been done by now if you weren't so drowned on searching… whatever you are searching."
This time, Sakuno looked up and stared at her grandmother. Well, not exactly stare but that is what she thought she did. Her vision is just clouded. Sakuno could barely perceive anything. However, she tried to blink it all away.
"Well, be quick in answering those then rest and sleep. It's very late, dear. Tomorrow, make sure you do important things first before you decide to other things. Good night dear."
"Good night, Grandma." She said while trying to give her a small smile. Sumire left the room.
As much as Sakuno wanted to retire quickly, she couldn't. The amount of homework she had was enough to keep her up until 2 in the morning. But when all was silent, she turned her computer on once again.
She searched for the band's songs and played them. They accompanied her through the night, never leaving her unlike the ones around her.
Please read and review. ^_^ They are very much welcomed.
