Am I the only person alive who doesn't think that spreading out coverage across multiple paid-subscription services is increasing the accessibility of the game? Everything I've seen is only offering praise. I feel like I'm taking crazy pills.
Like Paramount+ is definitely not perfect, but at least I knew where all the games were. This is the broadcast breakdown just for SD:
NWSL+ - 8 ION - 8 Prime Video - 6 CBSSN - 2 CBS - 2 ESPN - 1
And heaven forbid I want to watch any of the other matches... who knows where they'd be? You need at least five different services. Like I feel so annoyed. If I didn't love my SD girlies so much I'd say fuck it and find something else to do (I still might honestly).
#NWSL#San Diego Wave FC#This just now came up because I'm finally making the calendar for my phone lol#I'm just basically being fussy because I do technically have access to all of these...#I don't think most people do tho so the point still stands... and I know ION and NWSL+ are free but still#Do I just use NWSL+ with a VPN and say fuck your advertisers... that doesn't help grow the game either 🤷♀️

𝐁𝐄𝐋𝐈𝐄𝐕𝐄 𝐌𝐄 [𝐎𝐍𝐄] — 𝐒𝐊𝐘𝐄 𝐑𝐈𝐋𝐄𝐘
two / masterlist / wattpad
summary: when a creepy fan gets too touchy with Skye in a meet and greet, she starts to see him everywhere and you're not too sure if it's true or if she's just stressed from work.
warning/s: mentions of substance abuse, mental illness and poor mental health, stalkers and just the general gist of everything bad that happens in the film.
author's note: okay so this was long overdue but it’s finally written and will be two parts, just something that came to me a few weeks ago. Hope you like it!! it’s set around the same time in the film, before Skye’s comeback tour, but there's no smile demon, and it’s loosely based around what happens in the film but not exactly that (it will make sense when you read it lol, enjoy!)
"Do I look okay?"
I hummed, half listening to Skye, unable to tear my eyes from my laptop.
"It's not too casual? I didn't feel like dressing up today," she continued. "Especially because I'll have to dress up after and it's just too much, y'know?"
"Uh huh," I agreed, admittedly still looking at my laptop screen.
"You're not even listening."
"If I wasn't listening, I wouldn't be replying," I answered, scrolling through a spreadsheet.
There was a pause and then I let out a yelp when a cushion hit me in the face. I moved my hair from my eyes as I looked up in the direction it came from, realising Skye had thrown it. She was stood in front of a mirror, arms crossed and looking at me with disapproval.
"What was that for?" I asked with raised brows.
"You're ignoring me," she said with a frown, before dragging her feet towards me and flopping on the couch.
I sighed, looking over at her apologetically. "I'm sorry, I've just gotta sort this damn spreadsheet. One of the interns got into and saved over the top of it and now March doesn't have any content planned."
"First world problems right there," she said sarcastically.
I gave her a knowing look. "That's your social media content calendar in case you forgot. Do you want fans to come to your tour or not?"
At this, she began to chuckle, sitting up straight. "Okay, sorry. Sounds annoying. But still. Do I look okay?"
I rolled my eyes playfully before setting my laptop down on the coffee table and taking an actual look at her. She was wearing a long sleeved jumper with a pair of jeans. Unlike her usual eccentric outfits, this was toned down, though her jewellery was still more than an average person would wear, as expected from her.
"You look beautiful, Skye," I reassured her with a smile, taking her hand and squeezing it gently. "Very comfortable."
She relaxed, a smile creeping on her lips. "Thanks. That's all I wanted to hear."
I chuckled before kissing her hand and letting go. "Shouldn't you be going now anyway? Your meet and greet starts in ten."
We were at a charity event where she was holding a meet and greet and then performing for free afterwards. I was with her to support her as her girlfriend but also for work as her social media specialist.
"Yeah, I'm going," she said with a wave of her hand before standing up. "You coming?"
I shook my head as I grabbed my laptop and got comfortable on the couch again. "I've gotta sort this and do some other bits, but Tara is with your mum and Joshua to get some content for your Instagram."
Tara was a member of my team who I managed, and the one who would handle the in-person content for behind the scenes stuff, like meet and greets.
"Okay, good luck with all this," she said, motioning to my laptop, before flashing me a hopeful smile. "See you after?"
I nodded in agreement, glancing up at her. "See you then."
And with that, she left for her meet and greet whilst I got back to work.
I wasn't expecting anything to go wrong – it was a simple meet and greet, one Skye had done many times – but then I got a call from Tara.
"Hey, Tara, what's up?" I asked, balancing my phone between my shoulder and cheek as I worked at the same time.
"Hey," she said quietly and distractedly. "Erm, there's been a little incident."
I paused. "Incident? What sort of incident?"
There was some chatting in the background, but she must have moved away from it as it faded. "It's Skye. There was a fan who got a little too touchy. He started saying some weird things and wouldn't let go of her and security had to escort him out."
I furrowed my brows, concerned for Skye's wellbeing. "What? Is she okay? Is she hurt?"
"I think she's okay, but she seems shaken," Tara explained sympathetically. "I thought I'd call you to let you know. Mrs. Riley said not to but– well– it seemed like you should know, Y/N."
I resisted the urge to roll my eyes at the mention of Elizabeth, Skye's mother and manager. I'd known Skye as a friend for a few years and we'd been dating for the past year which meant I'd experienced her mother's unconventional style of parenting firsthand. I'd never seen eye to eye with her, but acted civil as she was technically my employer. But now, as Skye's girlfriend, it only gave me more to clash with her about.
"Thanks, Tara, I appreciate you calling me," I said gratefully. "Is she still with you? Skye, I mean?"
"She finished a few minutes ago, left to go get ready for the show. She should be on her way to you now."
I exhaled deeply. "Alright. Thanks. I'll check in. Speak later."
She said her goodbyes and all I could do was wait for Skye to return. She'd been through a lot over the past year, with her recovery and recording a new album and now preparing for the tour... a lot. And she was heavily overworked and the last thing she needed was a creep making her feel uncomfortable.
Eventually I heard the door to the dressing room opening and stood up, seeing her return.
"Hey, darling," I said softly, approaching her. "Tara called and told me what happened."
She frowned, glancing at me, saying nothing. It broke my heart and I couldn't help but pull her in for a hug, wrapping my arms around her tightly. She returned the gesture, hiding her face in my shoulder.
"I'm sorry it happened," I said quietly, rubbing her back.
"He really creeped me the fuck out," she admitted, trembling.
"It's disgusting, people like that," I said with a scowl. "I'm sorry you had to experience it. But security dealt with it, right? He's gone?"
She nodded.
"Good." I pulled back to get a better read of her expression. "Are you sure you're gonna be okay to do the show? You don't have to. They'll understand."
She sighed, looking down and rubbing her forehead. "I'll be okay. I can't cancel just because of one little hiccup."
I shook my head, taking her hands and intertwining our fingers. "It wasn't a hiccup, Skye. You were assaulted. That's a lot. You can have a break if you need it."
"It's okay," she reassured, swallowing thickly and looking up to meet my gaze with her dark eyes. "I'm okay. I just needed a minute. But you're here and I'm here and everything's okay again."
"Skye–"
"Please," she cut me off abruptly, before breathing out slowly. "I don't wanna talk about it anymore."
I hesitated, not liking when she did this. She'd always push down her true feelings if it interfered with work, and it never sat right with me. But she also never listened when I pointed it out.
"Okay," I gave in reluctantly. "If you're sure you can do it."
She offered me a small smile that didn't reach her eyes. "I can."
I chewed my lip as she let go of my hands and walked further into the room, heading straight for the mini fridge. When she pulled out a bottle of water and began to chug it like it was the last drink on earth, I knew she was compartmentalising. One of her coping mechanisms after rehab was to drink water when she felt like having an actual drink, and this was no different.
But as usual, she got her way and the show went on without a hitch. Any mention of the creepy fan was no more and everybody moved on, including her.
At least, until a few days later.
We'd just gone out for some lunch together, making the most of one of the rare moments she had free, and were walking around to stretch our legs when she froze suddenly.
I stopped walking, noticing she had, and looked to her. "You good?"
She blinked, eyes fixed ahead with a sense of panic. "It's him."
I quirked a brow, looking ahead to see what she was looking at. "Him? Him who?"
Her hand on my arm tightened slightly. "From the meet and greet. The fan."
I rested my hand on hers as I looked again, eyes searching the pedestrians ahead. There was a group of people crossing the street, some others hanging by a hot dog stand and some more just idly walking by. But I couldn't see anyone who was acting suspicious or paying much attention to Skye, especially not someone who matched the description security had told me about.
"Skye, I can't see him," I said carefully, glancing back at her. "Are you sure–?"
"He's right there!" she exclaimed, stepping back shakily and tugging me with her. "He's right fucking there!"
I looked again, still not able to see him, but a few passers-by were certainly paying attention now. Worried someone may recognise her and that it could make everything worse, I grabbed her hand and began pulling her away.
"Okay, c'mon, let's go," I said quickly, leading her away from that side of the street and around the corner.
We took refuge under a flower shop's canopy and she started to glance over her shoulder, paranoid, hugging herself with discomfort. I frowned and placed a hand on her arm, rubbing it gently.
"I'll call the driver to pick us up," I said, already pulling out my phone to get her out of here.
She nodded, leaning into my side, and I hugged her with my free hand as I made the call. Once it was arranged, she exhaled shakily but didn't step back.
"You didn't see him, did you?" she asked quietly, half embarrassed and half upset.
I shook my head, glancing around once more. "No. But I believe you, Skye. If you say you saw him, you did."
She sighed, saying nothing else. I didn't let go of her until the driver arrived and took us back to her place. When I tried to speak to her about it, she didn't have much to say and it only worried me further.
—
It happened again, at the end of the week. I thought we'd heard the last of her crazed fan, but apparently not. I was working from home at my place when Skye called me in a frenzy.
"Hey, darling," I answered, smiling at the sight of her caller ID.
"I need you to come over," she said in a rushed tone, sounding distressed. "Please, Y/N."
My smile faded. "What? What's wrong, Skye?"
"I fucking saw him," she said with a broken voice.
I straightened up, pushing my laptop to the side. "What?"
"The fan, he was there, outside my building," she explained. "He's fucking following me, Y/N, I know he is! I saw him there when I came home and he's fucking there and I don't know what to do. Please, come here, I need you."
"Okay, I'm coming, don't worry," I said quickly, noticing she was getting worked up. "Did you tell reception? Security?"
"Yes, but they say they can't find him and I know what I fucking saw," she replied with a frustrated voice.
"Okay, stay in your apartment and lock the door, I'm on my way," I promised, worrying.
"Okay, please hurry," she muttered.
I quickly got ready before making a beeline straight for Skye's apartment. All I could think about was how stressed out this whole thing was making her. I believed her, I did, but why hadn't he been noticed by someone else by now?
Before I headed straight up, I spoke to the receptionist and security team downstairs in her building, but they claimed there was no sight of the fan, nor anyone who seemed suspicious. That certainly didn't help with my unease and I knew it would only worsen things with Skye.
When I headed up, I knocked first to let her know it was me before letting myself in with the spare key she gave me.
"Skye?" I called out, locking the door behind me.
"In my room!" she called back.
I took my shoes off before going to her bedroom, opening the door to see her sitting on her bed, duvet pulled around her like a safety blanket.
"Hey," I said softly, stepping in and closing the door behind me.
She opened her duvet slightly, hinting for me to get in, so I crawled in beside her and leaned back against the headboard. She attached herself to my side, holding me tight with a pout on her face, trembling ever so slightly. I held her close, kissing the top of her head.
"I spoke to security and reception on the way up," I started gently. "There's no immediate threat. You're safe here."
"I told you, I know what I saw," she muttered rigidly into my chest.
"I'm not doubting that," I spoke, choosing my words carefully. "But... are you sure it's the same guy? Not a lookalike? I know you've been stressed out and–"
Suddenly she pulled away from me, fixing me with a teary glare. "Fuck you."
Realising I'd definitely not said the right thing, I turned to face her and rested my hand on hers. "No, wait, I just wanna make sure, Skye, that's all." She sucked up a breath and wiped away a tear as she glared at the door. "Hey, I just want to make sure," I repeated, eyes flickering over her face with concern.
She swallowed hard, jaw tensed as she looked to me. "I know it's him. I couldn't forget. He's scaring me on purpose."
I nodded slowly, believing she thought she was seeing him. But I couldn't be certain he was actually there. Still, I couldn't say that without her pushing me away, so I said nothing.
"Stay tonight," she said quietly, looking down at my hand on hers and playing with it mindlessly. "Please. I don't wanna be alone."
"I will," I promised, noticing her fatigue. "Have you slept, Skye? You look tired."
She scoffed. "It's hard to sleep when I've got a fucking stalker."
"You're safe here," I reminded her, before squeezing her hand. "Have a nap, c'mon."
She sighed deeply before giving in with a nod, lying down, head in my lap, which was her signal for me to play with her hair. I pushed her blonde hair from her eyes, stroking it gently how she liked. She let out a relaxing breath as I did, eyes fluttering closed.
"I want my security increased," she spoke after a moment, half asleep. "Please."
I hummed, finding her hand under the duvet with my free one and holding it. "I'll talk to your mum about it."
She nodded and fell quiet once more, eventually dozing off. Meanwhile, I tried to think of what we could do because clearly the issue wasn't resolving itself.
—
As promised, I made it my priority to speak to her mother about her security. Elizabeth Riley wasn't my favourite person, but I had to remind myself that we still had the same thing in common: Skye's safety.
So, whilst Skye was stuck in rehearsals at her dance studio, I went on a search for her mother. Thankfully, Elizabeth never strayed too far from her daughter when it came to work, so it didn't take me long to find her chatting to her assistant, Joshua, in one of the hallways around the building.
Approaching them, I stopped between them and watched as their conversation came to a halt when they noticed me.
"Y/N, hey," Joshua greeted with a warm smile. "It's good to see you."
I returned his smile. "You too, Joshua. Sorry to interrupt. I was actually hoping I could have a quick chat with Elizabeth?"
My eyes fell to the older woman, who glanced at Joshua with a knowing nod before looking to me with a small smile.
"Sure thing, Y/N," she said nonchalantly, before adding to Joshua, "Get that merch order rectified, Joshua, thanks."
Joshua nodded obediently before flashing me another smile and leaving us be. I watched him leave and looked back to Elizabeth with a serious expression.
"What did you need?" she asked, a hint of curiosity in her voice. I didn't blame her, since we rarely went out of our way to interact unless necessary.
"It's about Skye," I spoke quietly, in an urgent tone. "You know the whole thing that happened with that crazy fan at her meet and greet last week? It really freaked her out."
"Yes, I know, I was there," she said dismissively. "It was a lot, but it was taken care of. Nobody's seen the guy since. Clearly security scared him off."
I ignored her dismissal and responded, "Skye thinks she's seen him this week."
She lifted a brow, skeptical. "Thinks?"
"She's seen him," I corrected myself, realising how it sounded. "When we were out for lunch. And again, yesterday, outside of her apartment building."
She hummed, crossing her arms thoughtfully. "And did he approach her?" I shook my head, and she continued, "Did you see him?"
"Well, no," I answered, a little sheepish, "but she's really upset. And understandably so." I straightened up, meeting Elizabeth's stern gaze. "She wants more security. She's being stalked."
Definitely not reacting how I expected to, she sighed deeply like this was a minor inconvenience at most. "Y/N, if she's the only one who's seen him, she might be seeing things."
"With all due respect–"
"Skye is stressed out right now," she cut me off, adamant. "There's lots to worry about with her comeback tour. I love her, but she's got a lot to balance and that unfortunate encounter at her meet and greet may have startled her. If nobody else has seen him, you included, how likely is it that he's there?"
I pressed my lips together firmly, unsure how else to respond. Admittedly, a small part of me could see where she was coming from and I hated it.
"Her security team is great as it is," she finished decisively. "I don't think she needs more."
I swallowed thickly, feeling a little helpless, especially as I imagined telling Skye her mother's response. "She's really scared, Elizabeth."
Elizabeth motioned to me casually. "Let her know she's okay then. That's what you're there for, isn't it?"
And just like that, I was reminded why I heavily disliked her.
"She's safe, Y/N," she told me with a knowing look. "There's no stalker. My daughter is just tired. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to get back to work."
I clenched my jaw slightly as she walked away without a care in the world. Or, at least not for her daughter.
Dreading what was to come with Skye, I tried to distract myself with my own work, finding a spare table and chair to sit at with my laptop. I wasn't sure what I was going to tell her, but it definitely couldn't be that her mum didn't believe her.
After her rehearsals were over, she found me at my laptop, still sweaty as if she'd come straight to me before showering.
"Hey," she called out, making me look up.
She sat at the edge of the table and looked down to me.
"Hey, Skye," I greeted with a smile, trying my very best to hide my nerves. "How were rehearsals?"
"Alright," she answered with a shrug, wiping her face with her sweat towel.
"And your back?" I asked considerately. "You didn't overdo it, did you?"
She rolled her eyes playfully. "No, I didn't. You don't have to ask every time you know."
I gave her a knowing look, since she definitely knew that I did. After she pushed herself too hard at rehearsals a month ago and was stuck recovering for a few days after, ice pack glued to her back, I couldn't let her do it again.
"I took it easy," she promised, pushing herself off the table.
Believing her, I nodded and let it go.
"Did you talk to my mum about my security?" she asked after a moment, and I internally panicked.
Buying myself a few more seconds, I stood up to look at her properly, though the hesitation was still there. Enough for her to notice anyway.
"She doesn't believe me," she said instantly, expression hardening. "Of course she fucking doesn't."
"No, that's not it," I found myself saying without thinking. "She just... thinks you have enough security already, that's all."
She clenched her jaw and looked away, but her frustration was still present in the way she squeezed her sweat towel into a fist.
"Skye, you're safe," I tried to reassure her, taking her hand and feeling her grip on the towel loosen. "Everybody is looking out for you. And if anyone dares get too close, they'll know about it."
She didn't speak, her head clearly running a mile a minute. She had a faraway look in her eye that concerned me, so I lowered my head to meet her gaze.
"Hey, I'll stay with you at your place," I said softly. "Until you feel at ease. I don't mind."
Her eyes flickered between mine, unreadable, then she nodded. "Alright. I should shower. See you after."
I opened my mouth to respond, but she already let go of my hand and walked away, not in the best of moods. Sighing, I ran a hand through my hair, knowing I could have handled that better.
—
"...no, I want the one with chocolate in it."
I glanced at Skye with an amused smile. "Seriously? You told me you hate the one with chocolate in it. You said it always melts on your fingers when you're eating it."
She scoffed playfully, picking up the trail mix packet from the shelf. "Yeah, but the two minutes where it doesn't melt is my favourite."
I sighed as I grabbed the one without chocolate in it. "Yeah, and then you'll just take mine and I'll be left with the melted one."
"What's your point?"
I quirked a brow as she stared at me, waiting for an expiation. Letting out a quiet laugh, I rolled my eyes and nudged her slightly before taking the trail mix from her hand.
"Fine, idiot, let's pay," I said, realising some things just wouldn't change with Skye. And as much as I pretended to hate it, I didn't.
She grinned with satisfaction before the two of us went to the front of the convenience store, joining the short queue at the till.
"Wanna walk back to your place or call the driver?" I asked Skye as we stepped forward.
She glanced outside the shop window, probably looking at the weather. "It's not too bad out. Let's walk."
I hummed in agreement, patiently waiting until we reached the front of the queue. As I was paying for the few bits we picked up, including the trail mix I would definitely not get to eat, Skye was already walking outside to wait for me, lingering.
"Oh, can I get this gum too, sorry?" I said quickly, before the order went through, taking some gum off the display stand.
The cashier nodded and was putting it through the till when we both heard shouting from outside the shop. I furrowed my brows, looking out the window, only to widen my eyes when I realised it was Skye. She looked like she was yelling at someone in the distance, but I couldn't be sure.
"Shit," I muttered to myself, before tapping my card quickly, paying.
"Do you want your rec–"
"No, it's fine, thanks," I said quickly, grabbing the bag before almost tripping over my own feet as I left the store.
"...I'll call the police, you psycho!" Skye was shouting across the street, earning judgemental looks off several bystanders.
"Skye!" I exclaimed, standing in front of her and holding her shoulders to get her attention. "What are you doing?"
She was trembling as she glared ahead, and I tried to follow her stare to see who she was yelling at, but other than the confused pedestrians staring at us, there was nobody.
"Hey, what?" I asked worriedly, looking back to her and searching her watery gaze.
Her eyes met mine, terrified. "It's fucking him."
I swallowed thickly, realising she was still talking about this stalker who only she ever seemed to see.
"I fucking saw him," she repeated, looking across the street again.
I frowned, rubbing her arms gently before feeling eyes on us. People were starting to put two and two together, no doubt recognising Skye, so I quickly laced our fingers together and led her away.
"C'mon, let's get you home," I told her calmly, but inside I was extremely concerned for her wellbeing.
She didn't speak, though her eyes were darting around, paranoid. When we reached her apartment building, I gave a heads up to the security there before leading her up to her apartment and settling on the couch with her.
She was leaning on my shoulder for comfort, my arm wrapped around her as I tried to find the right words. But there was no way to say it without making her feel like I was ignoring her.
"Skye," I started gently, softly. "Do you think that, maybe, you might be imagining this fan?"
She tensed up before pulling back slightly, fixing me with a glare. "You think I'm crazy?"
I widened my eyes slightly. "No, no, not at all! But I just–" I paused, trying to express my thoughts better without upsetting her further. "I haven't seen him. Nobody has, except you. And it was a scary thing what happened at the meet and greet–"
"You weren't even fucking there," she cut me off with a scowl, hurt in her expression as she stood up.
"I know," I said with a sigh, before standing up too. "I just mean, you've been working very hard and not getting enough rest and maybe you're–"
"Fuck you," she interrupted, gaze running over me with irritation. "You don't believe me."
I frowned. "Skye–"
"No," she snapped. "You think I'm fucking hallucinating!"
I winced at her words. "That's not–"
"Get out," she decided, crossing her arms sternly.
I stepped forward in an attempt to make amends. "Skye–"
"Now!" she shouted.
Swallowing hard, I let out a disappointed sigh. This was the exact opposite of what I wanted to happen. Especially because she looked so hurt and betrayed and I'd never been on the receiving end of that before, not from her.
"I'm sorry," I muttered. "I'm just worried."
"About the wrong thing," she retorted, avoiding looking at me.
I closed my eyes, internally kicking myself, before reluctantly leaving her apartment.

I'm glad you have others to check on you as well. I think personally I just thought of you as the kind of person who may stress over things purely based on the fact that you have such an organised list of works on your trello that you update regularly. I couldn't imagine being this organized even for uni assignments 😭
So yeah, which is why I assumed you might be putting a bit too much pressure on yourself, but also I can imagine and do kind of understand that there's some kind of doubt that comes with doing something creative.
But if this helps in anyway to reassure you about the kind of work that you put out, i have to say that reading either amended or lowlander has become a monthly ritual for me and your ao3 is a permanent tab on my phone. I feel describing why I love them so much would need me to write an essay (which I'm too lazy to write right now) but I still hope the fact that I am in love with your works, came across.
And it's so cute hearing about your kids and their costumes. I hope you have a loads of fun. And I'm so curious to see a bean costume. I googled it but couldn't find any images :(
But I'd love to know what you decide to dress up as XD
-😸
P.S. - if you want me to write exactly what I love about your works I'd like some time to write the essay lol
😅 get out of my head anonnyyyyy. I did discover a few years ago that often lists are a symptom my anxiety is spiraling. but for trello, I love it because it lets me so neatly schedule my updates, make sure I'm rotating stories, let people see where updates are, and get that nice little click of satisfaction when I move things over to new columns. So what I'm saying is my trello isn't totally unhinged! Before that I was doing the same things but secretly in google calendar and excel hah.
I will say, outside of any of that, there's this element that's hard to describe in any other way than this gross analogy: sometimes writing is like having a stomachache, and I desperately need to write/vomit until there's nothing left in the hopes that then I can finally rest. It's an unavoidable urge sometimes. So the trello and my updates are also me trying to give some bounds to that feeling since sometimes I HAVE to wait and, you know, take care of real life haha.
I'm really really flattered that you love and reread my stories so much 🥺 Not only because it's great to know that your work is appreciated, but also because I write the stories I want to read, and it's a really warm cozy feeling to find other people who share my interests!
On the black bean costume, I found a can of beans costume but he had insisted it was only one bean, so I was going to probably get a black pillowcase and get creative. I'm sad he changed his mind. I think the pictures would have been so funny :)

7 MEN 侍
Anyone must have an experience of breaking into cold sweats when accidentally leaving behind something. Trying to search for the members' "situations about leaving a belonging behind," episodes of a member leaving behind things came out, they were revealed...!!! (Interview was done during the first 10 days of May)
Questions:
Q1. An experience where you left something behind that gave you cold sweats.
Q2. I completely saw 〇〇 forgot something!
Q3. What will you do if you realized about your girlfriend's birthday after a day it had passed since her birthday?
REI YABANA
A1. When going to my destination, I have a habit of leaving behind things and leave like Hansel and Gretel, that's why I lose a lot of things. When I left in the classroom in my university the earphones that I got from Rinne-kun as a birthday present, since it was gone when I went back to pick it up, so I bought the same kind of earphones and use it.
A2. Daka-san (Motodaka) is really bad with forgetting things. All of the members must have seen him walking around searching for the other side of his wireless earphones (LOL). Just recently too, he forgot his coat at the studio where we do our band rehearsals and went home with just his turtle neck. Since he called me, "Is my coat in there? But I want to wear it for our YouTube filming tomorrow~" so I brought it home and gave it to him the next day (LOL).
A3. When I realized about it, I will immediately contact her and apologize first of all. If she can make time, I will bring her a present somehow or another and will meet her on that day.
[Recent Happening].
7 MEN 侍's blog in Johnny's WEB has started, and I am in charged of Wednesdays. *I ramble a lot that's why writing the sentences is fun, and I am happy that I can deliver my way of wordings without getting edited. They're long but please read them by all means!

A1. Basically, I don't forget my things. At home or at Jr. activities, I check my things before going out. Since the things that I must not forget like phone, wallet, pass case aren't a lot, so it's better if I check them before going. The experience that gave me chills when I forgot about it was about a homework during my school days. I do my homeworks properly until when I was an elementary student, but I started to forget my homeworks when I was a middle schooler, it was a lack of vigilance when I think about it now (LOL).
A2. The time when we went to Kyoto for our stage play, when I met with Katsuki to go to the convenience store, Katsuki forgot about the card key of his hotel room. It was a single room so no one is in the same room with him, that's why we had to ask for the hotel personnel to open it. I thought it is hard to be forgetful while looking at him saying, "I am sorry!" (LOL).
A3. That is bad, right? Yeah, it is really bad. I will call her immediately the moment I realized it and I have no choice but to ask for forgiveness. From there, I will wish her a happy birthday. As an apology, we will go on a date with everything she likes to do for a day.

I had a long time of staying still at home, and I came to think that if I can freely go and play somewhere, where will I want to go (LOL). For now, I want to go to the sea. I approximately go to the beach every year but I couldn't go last year, so I definitely want to go this year!
KATSUKI MOTODAKA
A1. I cried losing a number of times my previous wireless earphones before having the one with GPS function, and even though I am using the lipbalm I am obsessed with, when I noticed it, I already lost it. It happened a lot of times and I really feel down over it. Recently too, I accidentally left behind the coat that I was wearing and went home, my mind and body got scared (LOL). For the things that I forget, I basically don't know where I forget it, *the hopelessness that I have lost them is tremendous.
A2. Honestly, I haven't seen anyone who got in trouble for forgetting things more than I do (LOL). Sometimes, when my family goes out, my mother forgets something and goes back to get it. But when she goes back to get it, the thing that she forgot is there at the house so there is no real incident that happened.
A3. That's the end our the relationship...I will probably freak out when I realized it.
But if I apologize, I will be busted for forgetting it, so I will make her the opposite by urgently preparing a grand plan and make her feel, "He planned all of these that's why he was late for my birthday." (LOL)
[Recent Happening]
The filter for kids of my phone got lifted. Since I have my Jr. activities when I was in middle school, so my father bought the phone for me and got the filter for kids be activated in my phone. Since for it to be lifted, I had to go to the store with my father so the filter for kids had always been activated in my phone. Because of the policies, I had a hard time not being able to see what others can normally see, but I have finally become a proper adult (LOL).
TAIKO SASAKI
A1. I forgot my key when I went out of the house, since it is an autolock, so I got locked out of the building. I contacted the control office but it seemed like it will take time for them to respond, so I took my chance and pressed the doorbell of a unit of someone who I don't know. I explained the situation but the owner of the unit is a foreign guy. I cannot communicate in complicated Japanese with him, I used a translation app in phone to explain and I got the door opened for me (LOL).
A2. When I went to have barbeque with my friends, even though I entrusted my cooler to the friend who was in charged of bringing the drinks, when I was about to hit the freeway, a person from the barbeque place contacted me saying, "you forgot your cooler." It seemed like for my friend, it was not his so he completely forgot about it (LOL). I'm glad I received the message before entering the freeway.
A3. This is a person who you must not forget her birthday, right? The moment I realized it, I will contact her immediately and I have no choice but to apologize. Or, I will think of a fancy surprise and and will tell her as an excuse that that have taken up my time.
[Recent Happening]
I am watching again the anime 「Dragon Ball」. When I saw a scene from it by chance, it made me want to watch the whole series again. It has around 300 episodes though (LOL). I've become absorbed at it when I was in 1st grade, but I still enjoy watching it now. It is interesting to think like, "What was this episode about again?" and also the way how my feelings [for the episodes] change.
REIA NAKAMURA
A1. I relatively don't forget things.
I think I don't have a story here that is a massive failure at least. It's just that, I may forget my promises with people. Getting a message, " You are not yet here!?" and replying "Huh? What was it about again?" kind of situation happens a lot. My excuse during those times is, "I overslept." Lately, I put a memo in my phone about my plans with people, I wonder if my mistakes reduced.
A2. Yabana forgot his contact lens and panicked, but no one can lend him, right? But, when Katsuki forgot his contact lens, the colored contact lens that I ordered with wrong prescription matches with his prescription by chance, so I gave them to him. Katsuki has a good luck, right?
A3. I'll call her to my house the next day and will solve it through a surprise. I will adjust back the date of the calendar and the clock to my girlfriend's birth date, and I will tell her, "You are probably busy celebrating your birthday with everyone yesterday, right? Today, let's celebrate your birthday with just the two of us."
[Recent Happening]
Heading towards 「Johnny's Ginza」, I come to the gym at the office 5 times a week, and the trainer-san is pushing me to workout hard. The other day, I was told, "let's rest first because you've overworked" for the first time. Since I didn't feel that I overworked, at that time I realized that I am really looking forward to the live.
RINNE SUGETA
A1. When I remove the bracelet that I super treasure and wrapped it in tissue paper during a photoshoot, I completely forgot about it and went home. *When I realized that I left my bracelet, I immediately got it checked, but I felt uneasy until it was confirmed the next day. I kept thinking that since it was wrapped in tissue, it might be mistaken for a trash and be thrown away...and my heart kept pounding.
A2. Katsuki forgetting things might be a usual scene (LOL). Before, the members took Katsuki's belonging and attached to the white board that is in the room as a prank. And yet, since he didn't notice it, we also forgot about it and went home. It was left there for 2 days (LOL).
A3. I will send her a message saying, "happy birthday," like nothing happened, and I will write a sentence at the end saying, "The last birthday message you have received is from Rinne, right?" Moreover, if her birthday is on 06/07, greeting her at 6:07 or something, matching her birthday with a time that has a deep meaning and send the message to her is effective [as an excuse], right?
[Recent Happening]
The takeout box for Thirty-one Ice Cream (Baskin Robbins) is Yamada (Ryosuke), that's why I went to buy it yeasterday. It is embarrassing to be seemed aiming for Yamada-kun, so I brought along my little brother and made it looked like "my brother wants it so I am buying it for him" (LOL).
