She's been a lot quieter than normal. Usually her bubbly personality shines through even in her darkest times, but not this time.
"Hi I'm Summer!" She gave a small smile and a wave, Stay could tell it wasn't her. Immediately they knew something was off. The group could tell as well. She's the type of girl who would overthink for days until it rips her apart. This was the product of that. Of course she still sang and danced well, she didn't want to disappoint people even more. But her presence just wasn't there. She tried and tried to be her normal self, but at that moment she felt inferior to everyone around her. Instead of her favorite song, Cheese, the group would be performing Super Board for the last tour dates. For this song she had the intro, which she never got in any song. She was so excited to perform it before the situation happened. She prayed that her normal self would come back soon, but she didn't know how much more she could take. Finally it was her solo stage.
"Hi Stay." She smiled, "I feel like I owe you all a deep apology." She took a deep breath, "I'm sorry i'm not me today. I'm sure you've all heard about the incident, i'm not sure if I should be even talking about it now but whatever. This is going to get really sappy." She looked up with tears in her eyes, "Am I doing something wrong? Why does this keep happening to me?" The boys in the dressing room listened to her talk.
"I have a plan." Chan spoke.
"What can I do better? I continue to try and try every day for Stay but I get repaid by getting harassed? I know that's not all of Stay, trust me I know most of you are the sweetest most loving people in my life. I must have some really bad luck or something." She laughed a little as she wiped her eyes, "Okay I'm sorry to get all sad-" In an instant she was engulfed by eight bodies. They all group hugged around her. The audience let out a long 'Aweee.' "Guys?" She spoke as tears filled up her eyes, "What are you doing?"
"We don't like to see you upset. So we came back up to make you feel better." Hyunjin smiled at her. Somehow, she ended up on Seungmin's back as he ran across the stage.
"Neeooom." He'd say as they flew across the stage. She was laughing now, her first genuine smile of the night.
"Okay okay I need to sing for them now." She laughed.
"I wanna watch!" Changbin ran to the second stage and took a seat.
"Me too!" Jeongin ran and plopped beside Changbin. The other six boys followed and took a seat on the second stage.
"Tonight I have a slower song for you all planned. It's a sweet calm song about love. I've been listening to this band quite a lot more recently, It's very different from what I usually enjoy in songs, but even so, I hope you all enjoy." The calming music of 'Apocalypse' started to play.
You leapt from crumbling bridges
Watching city scales turn to dust
Her voice matched the tone of the song. Loving, calm, sweet, almost sad in a way. Jisung could fall asleep listening to her sing Cigarettes After Sex. He loved the soft tone of her voice in that moment as he closed his eyes for a second to take it in.
Got the music in you baby
Tell me why
Got the music in you baby
Tell me why
You've been locked in here forever
And you just can't say goodbye
The boys all swayed together to the music, fans joining them. Summer smiled, noticing the whole venue moving from side to side with her voice.
Your lips my lips
Apocalypse
Just like the song, she dragged the 'pse' at the end of the word.
Your lips my lips
Apocalypse
She looked at Jisung for a split second, their eyes meeting as she sang the first line. The song was silently dedicated to him. No matter what the two went through, even an apocalypse, she'd still be there.
Ooh oh
When you're all alone
I'll reach for you
When you're feelin low
I'll be there too
And with that she finished her song. She still was not fully herself again, however anyone could tell those boys made her feel quite a bit better than before. She went back down to change along with Jisung Felix Changbin and Hyunjin so the other four could sing Waiting for Us. There was only a few more songs until they got to change for the encore. Summer always loved the encore outfits, with her little cat ears beanie and always dressed in the concert merch. She was glad it was inside so she didn't have to worry about being cold if she was to wear a tshirt or a sleeveless shirt. She was put into the concert sweatpants which were super comfortable and the show shirt. She took a deep breath before her closing-ment.
"Okay this time I won't cry." She laughed a little, "I'm sorry about all of that guys." Literally everyone was yelling 'it's okay!' and 'we love you!' "You guys are too sweet." She smiled, "I think this would have been a lot worse if I didn't have these eight boys and the sweet amazing Stays. And don't worry I still love all of you guys. Just I guess some people took that a little too literally." She laughed a little, "Okay that may have been too soon. Anywho! I just wanted to thank you all for standing up for me and everything, I truly do not deserve anyone here." She smiled at them, "Not gonna cry not gonna cry." She repeated as she fanned her face while everyone laughed a little, "Okay go to Jeongin before I cry." She laughed and turned around still fanning her eyes. Jeongin laughed as he patted her back before speaking.
