The party was loud and lively, everyone was having a great time. This special party happened every year where managers working in the entertainment industry would organize a party for the celebrities they work for.

It had somewhat of a "thank you for your hard work" message. Another reason why this party is held is just for everyone to loosen up and meet new people. After all everyone working in the entertainment industry wants a night off from work without worrying about the media and press.

A tall handsome male sat near to corner, by his looks anyone would expect him to be an actor. He rested his chin on the palm of his hand and stared out the window next to him. The entire wall next to him from top to bottom was transparent, giving him an extraordinary view.

A lady pulled the chair across the tall male and sat down with one of her legs on top of the other.

She stared at the untouched glass with bright blue liquid swirling in it on the table in front of her, "why don't you have fun with the others, he's probably not going to show up."

He didn't even spare a glance at her, "I'll wait a little longer."

She sighed and massaged her temples, "I'm his manager and even I haven't heard from him in two years, besides this is a crowded place, I believe he isn't stupid enough to show up just to end up the center of attention again."

The other male didn't respond and continued to gaze out the window. Reason being the window gives you a full view of the pathway so if any car rolls in, he'd immediately know.

"Russia, last year you waited the entire night and he didn't show up, I'm really trying my best to contact him, I really do understand your concern for a friend but Japan and the others are hoping you'd join them."

"..."

Russia heaved out a low sigh, "alright, I'll try to have fun tonight." He then stood up and downed the whole drink in one gulp. He could feel the burning sensation in his throat as the liquid slid down.

She gave him a warm smile, "I'm sure you'll meet him again one day."

Russia adjusted his suit tie before leaving.

He walked over to another table in the other side of the room, this table was more lively and less lonely than the one he sat in before.

The blaring music was a muffled out by the chattering crowd around him which wasn't necessarily an improvement.

The party was reserved for only celebrities with invitations so no press or media could stick their noses in. But still that doesn't mean everyone can do whatever they want, if they cause a commotion you bet the other gossipy celebrities will leak the details to the public.

As the Russian neared the table, a charming lady noticed him first and a smile beamed on her face. "Russia! So you finally decided to join us."

"Yeah, I figured to just have fun for the rest of the night, it's not everyday you attend an event like this." Russia plopped down on the seat next to the charming lady or more well known as the famous actress Japan.

Although there was a small smirk on the Russian's face, only Russia knew that deep down the party would never be fun.

At least without him...

There was another male sitting right across Japan, another famous actor, Germany. Next to Germany was an elegant lady, the K-pop idol South Korea.

They were all friends in the industry so they chatted for awhile concerning their next movies, songs and their personal lives.

In the midst of the chatter, Japan noticed the dazed expression of the male sitting next to her.

She placed her hand on his shoulder, "Don't worry too much, he'd doing fine, I'm sure of it."

Russia didn't say anything but his gaze shifted to her, it was neither cold nor warm.

Russia was waiting for a specific person, but they haven't shown up to the yearly parties ever since last year and he probably won't show up this year either. "Didn't show up" is actually an understatement, they disappeared from the public completely.

Everyone said he disappeared because of his guilty conscience, since right before he disappeared, he was involved in a scandal that turned everyone against him.

The media was especially aggressive in cussing him out. Every time Russia read their hateful comments he always felt a burning flare of anger in his heart.

After all, the public knew that the two of them were good friends before he disappeared.

No one knew his whereabouts and it didn't seem like he'd reveal himself any time soon. But the fact he didn't defend himself when being accused made people believe he actually did what the rumors said.

Before he disappeared he was the number one star in the entertainment industry, known for his immense talents in acting and singing as well as his good looks.

His songs were always a big hit for a very long time, sweeping away all the competition. His acting was so good that he was given countless offers.

At least until Russia came along, he as well was extremely talented in acting so according to everyone their talents were on par. The rankings for best actor were always either one of the two, it was always either of them with no exceptions.

But Russia started out later than the other, Russia has only been acting for a few years while the other has been acting since a young age.

Everyone at the table flinched in surprised when somewhere in the room, the shrill sound of glass breaking resonated within the room.

The sound pierced right through the music, now everyone at the table noticed there was a dense crowd in front of the bar. Which also happened to be close to the entrance.

Everyone at the table got up to check out the commotion, "what do you think happened? Do you think someone got drunk again or something?" Germany said with a cold tone.

"I'm surprised the person causing the commotion isn't you." Russia shot back, this was a bit of a sore spot to Germany from last year when someone spiked the punch, the German was intoxicated and accidentally knocked over an expensive vase, they demanded him to pay the full price.

It was quite an embarrassing story, it caused quite a commotion and ever since then the German never touched any public drinks.

Some people in the entertainment industry were already thoroughly offended by Russia's offhanded remarks because that Russian had no filter on his mouth. But most of his friends were already used to his cold words, including Germany.

All three of them pushed through the crowd but Russia got to the middle faster than the others due to his height which made him seem intimidating, so everyone in his path unconsciously moved aside.

There in the center of attention was a good looking male, he was a slightly shorter than Russia and was also wearing a black suit. There was also another lady standing right across him slowly backing away.

The Russian's eyes widened, the handsome youth raised an eyebrow and ran a hand through his messy hair. His eyes were two different shades of blue and stood out beneath the flurry of flashing neon lights.

Russia felt his heart tremble slightly out of shock.

Once Germany, Japan and South finally broke through the crowd and noticed who the person in front of them was they froze in their spots.

Amongst them there was quiet murmuring from the crowd,

"Oh it's him..."

"How dare he show his face, he has no shame!"

"Isn't that lady-"

"Well they're bound to meet if he ever decides to come back."

From Russia's surrounding chatter he deduced the lady from before saw the male and dropped her glass in shock.

Russia finally snapped out of his trance, a smile appeared on his face. He walked right in front of the shorter male and stared at him face to face.

"Can I buy you a drink America?"

There was a moment of silence from the other party, "sure why not?"

Albeit he said it with a friendly smile on his face, the tricolored country could sense the slight hesitation in his tone. Only slight.

America, the previous number one star in the entertainment industry has returned.

The two of them change outfits sometimes in the story so there's no concrete reference for the outfits they wear.
