"Thank you all for your support, tonight, like every concerts that we did, I feel happy. Super happy !" Apo concluded.
Ta ran to get behind his DJ decks.
Barcode, who was often glued to his co-star Jeff Satur, noticed that the singer had left to wiggle with Us. He felt wronged. Every single time he was trying his best to follow Jeff, this guy always played with others...
Although they were all friends, and considered themselves one big family, this time, Barcode felt a pang of anger rising within him. He decided to let go too, because he couldn't hold Jeff back.
"Taaaa!"
The young boy headed straight for the DJ. Ta looked at him in surprise and he opened his arms and Code gave him a hug, hugging him so tightly that Ta burst out laughing:
"You're suffocating me there, you want to kill me on stage or what ?"
"Sorry, sorry, I'm just tired..."
Ta gave him a teasing look and he started a new playlist, so Barcode started dancing like crazy. He managed to have fun despite his fatigue but suddenly he felt his nose tingle, he turned completely around so that the crowd could see only his back. Ta leaned towards Barcode, he hadn't noticed yet...
"Jeff is looking for you....Oi? Are you okay? Oh no, you are bleeding again.."
"It's okay,'' whispered Barcode, who suddenly hugged Ta, he hid his face against the other boy's shoulder.
" Everything is fine ?" asked Jeff who arrived with a quick step, he immediately noticed the strange attitude of his Nong.
" Yes."
" Nope."
Barcode glared at his friend, how could he sold him so easily?! Damn. The poor singer was completely lost, he tried to smile, aware that the fans behind them had to film...
"Barcode, are you sulking?"
"No, no," Code was still hiding his face in the crook of Ta's shoulder, and he felt Jeff's annoyance, which was rare though.
"Barcode, you bother me," Ta whispered, he slowly backed away and waved at a staff. "Take a handkerchief for your nose."
" What's up?'' worried the older man, he approached with a quick step towards Barcode but the latter refused to look at him.
The youngest had a bloody nose. He had traveled to so many countries, and Code had absorbed so much fatigue that his own body was rebelling.
For a moment, Barcode saw blurry, and he tripped over the staff member who handed him a handkerchief.
"Stop." the latter hissed at his co-star whose face was seriously starting to get more serious. "You're going to worry the fans."
"You're bleeding." Jeff replied harshly.
The singer dragged the youngest by the shoulders, flashing big smiles towards their fellow actors and for the first time, he hugged Barcode sincerely and completely.
"Don't do that." Barcode grumbled, against Jeff's ear.
'' Why ?''
"Go back and have fun with P'Us."
Shit.
Barcode had spoken on the spot out of anger and Jeff's confused look made the situation worse.
"That's one hell of a long hug!" Apo said, mocking slightly, he took the two boys in his long arms, laughing, before whispering: "Is everything okay between you? Ta said there's a tension and people start to notice too..."
"It's okay.. just a nosebleed, nothing serious." hissed Barcode, he blew his nose, hidden by his seniors and making sure there was no more blood, he picked up his microphone and ran away from the stage, away from Jeff and near Ta who was dancing with Bible and Build.
