Chapter 363 Flashbacks

Koichi and Helena were the main actors in the Perfect, The Scientist, and Save Your Tears music videos.

We stopped following their stories when the production crew went back to Catadrid some time ago, but to understand the effect of the videos' release on their lives, we have to go back to the day that Theo released his album.

December 26th, Elffire City.

Helena woke up feeling extremely anxious that morning as she knew that the music videos would be released that same day.

Ever since she showed her parents the payment she received from the three music video productions, they started believing more in her career.

After all, in total, she received more than 10 thousand dollars in less than a month, which was much more than a normal job would pay.

They knew that their daughter wanted to move to Catadrid, but they still told her that they would only tell her their decision after they saw her performance on screen.

That's why Helena was even more nervous because she wanted to show her work to her parents, she hoped they would like her performance and allow her to pursue her dreams in Catadrid.

That morning, when she came downstairs to have breakfast, she was surprised when she saw her mom and dad still home.

It was a Thursday morning, and at a time like that, they would be at work.

"Mom? Dad? What are you doing at home?" Helena asked in confusion when she saw them.

"Well, your dad and I decided to take the day off to see your show together with you." Luzia Lobo replied with a gentle smile.

Her dad only smiled in agreement.

Helena's eyes started tearing up when she heard that, she could feel their love with this simple action.

Even though she resented them a little for giving her so many obstacles in the pursuit of her acting career, she could understand why the path she chose was too steep and difficult and her parents were worried she would fall midway and get hurt.

"Awww, my little princess is crying!" Luzia exclaimed and hugged her.

"Who's crying?" Helena shouted and denied stubbornly.

The three of them talked about random stuff until the time of the album release slowly arrived.

Luzia and Rui noticed that their daughter was extremely anxious and nervous, so they tried to distract her by talking about other things.

When the time on the clock arrived, Helena could not contain the huge amount of emotion bubbling up inside of her anymore, she immediately turned on the TV and opened the Ruby App of the television.

"Ayia-san told me that I just needed to type 'Moonlight' on the search engine and I would find the channel." Helena commented;

Shortly after, she found Moonlight's Channel and consequently the 4 music videos which were just uploaded.

"I am the main actress of three of these four music videos." Helena said with a nervous voice as she clicked on The Scientist icon.

Luzia and Rui just listened patiently to their daughter's mumblings, they were also extremely nervous and curious about her performance.

Just like any other parents, they hoped their daughter was successful in realizing her dreams.

The family of three had their hearts beating loudly and strongly inside their chests as the music video started.

When the first note on the piano sounded, the three of them were transported to the mystical land of music.

They became totally immersed in the music video and the song.

Luzia and Rui almost could not recognize their daughter when she appeared on the screen, she seemed so different than the little girl she was with them.

Helena's demeanor was completely different from her usual self.

They watched as Helena's character met the male lead and had a life with him as they drifted apart.

Luzia and Rui almost thought that Helena had a twin sister who performed because it was such an outstanding performance.

They were so immersed in the video that they did not say anything from the beginning until the end of the music video.

Helena's reactions were equally strong as she could not believe she was the person on the screen.

She could not believe her dream was becoming true in front of her eyes, she could not help but cry a little as she watched the amazing music video from Moonlight.

But these were not sad tears, but happy tears.

When the music video ended, the three of them were silent for a while until the two parents saw the tears in their daughter's eyes.

"Happy tears!" Helena beamed a smile as she continued tearing up.

Luzia and Rui had their decision ready at that moment as they watched their daughter's happiness.

They would support 100% Helena's acting career.

The three of them shared an emotional hug before laughing.

They watched the other two music videos and were equally amazed by their daughter's talent.

But we won't cover that because, on the other side of Elffire City, two people were passing through a similar situation.

Koichi Ishii was the male lead and co-star together with Helena in Moonlight's music videos.

Helena had her parents, but Ishii only had his grandma.

Koichi Miyata was an old lady, but she was still extremely perceptive, and she could see that her grandson was an ocean of anxiety and nervousness.

But because of her old age, she couldn't help him much.

The two of them watched Grandma Miyata's favorite TV show to pass the time until the album's release.

But when the time arrived, he immediately opened the Ruby App and searched for Moonlight's channel.

"Grandma, I will put the music video for us to watch together." Ishii said with a voice filled with anxiety.

His situation was different from Helena's.

He also wanted to go to Catadrid, but his problem was that his grandma was too old for such a long trip.

Therefore, he decided that he would only leave Elffire City with his grandma if he did an amazing job in these music videos.

That way he would be certain that he would be able to afford his grandma's expenses in a new city.

After all, he would never leave his grandma alone in Elffire City, so the only option was to bring her with him.

Grandma Miyata was already extremely proud of her grandson, and she was extremely sure he would be extremely successful.

We can call it grandmother's love, but she still was certain of his future success.

They had these thoughts in their heads when Ishii clicked the 'Perfect' M/V icon.

When Moonlight's mellow voice sounded, they also became entranced by it.

The emotional video was played, and the grandmother and grandson watched together.

Grandma Miyata almost could not recognize the man on the screen as her grandson.

He was not shy at all and seemed like an extrovert outgoing man.

And his acting was extremely realistic as he showed his love for the female lead.

Grandma Miyata even forgot it was fiction and became immersed in it as tears started falling from her eyes.

The love shown on the screen made her remember her past and her family.

The song was so beautiful and the video was so emotional that she cried for the first time since her son died.

When the video ended, Ishii looked at his grandma and saw her tears.

He became extremely shocked as this was the first time he saw his grandma crying.

"Beautiful, my son, so beautiful!" She exclaimed with a happy smile as she looked at him with a face full of love.

Ishii could not hold his tears when he heard that, he ran and hugged his grandma as he cried and cried.

He also decided at that moment that he would pursue his dreams!

To make his grandma proud!
