Chapter 1 - A Story To Tell

It was late December when the duo AKU (Means Moon) held their last concert before the season of their debut album Moon God.

Everyone’s busy – interviews here and there, photoshoots and non stop guestings. The AKU duo Dylan and Sky were genuinely tired but loving the pressure they are feeling right now.

They’ve been together since 5th grade and since then they were training so hard to be recognized. It took them almost 5 years before they officially debuted, starting with 7 members, down to 5, 4 and there were just 2 of them left.

It was not inspiring to share, especially knowing the reason why the other supposed to be members were removed from the agency. There was Steve who’s fired due to a rumour that he used to be an “Only Fan” artist with scandals, Mason and James were both involved in a gang war during their student days – which was not tolerated by the citizens that was why they were removed even though the incident happened before they became a trainee. There was JJ, similar with Steve he was involved to an indi film where he played a role of a young **********. Even though it was artistically done, he was still removed from the group and the last one to leave was Yanku. Yanku was declined to debut simply because he fell in love with someone and even though it was not proven due to the dating ban for them he failed to debut as a member of AKU.

The night was still young and everyone was going wild as they gave their all during the encore. Dylan and Sky were performing “Moon” (Debut Single) and followed by “We Were Not Supposed To Kiss”.

The song “We Were Not Supposed To Kiss” is a mystery single included on their debut album that only those who attended the concert were able to hear.

Bridge:

It was there…

I was not just brave to confess…

The flashing lights from the world surrounding us kept me imprisoned…

But, it has been you!

It is always you…

We were not supposed to kiss,

But now no one can stop me.

Before they blast off for the last chorus there was a short moment of silence. Dylan was standing in the middle of the stadium, he was looking at Sky – running to him. As he was watching him running towards his direction Dylan recalled all of the struggles they had been and the sad night where he saw how hard Sky prayed to be where he is right now.

There was sadness, joy and a sudden heart explosion.

Everyone got frozen – even Dylan.

Just like how he went back down to the memory lane, he was snatched by the moment.

A sudden warm soft lips against him, a tight hug and a quiet moment.

“I just did!” Sky said in a soft voice after letting go of Dylan’s lips. They both looked at each other and a few seconds after the fireworks started to show.

They continued with the chorus and just like how they practised it – they gave their all.

Everyone was cheering, screaming their lungs out…

Love and acceptance was felt and received during the concert.

The concert and the launch of the album was a huge success. The kiss during the concert opened up such an opportunity for the two of them.
