We are followed by the camera backstage. We start doing some breathing exercises and last minute stretching.

"You guys are on in five!" The stage director yells through the door. We all sing a quick three minute song together as a team to finish warming our voices and circle up by the stairs that lead up to the stage.

"50 seconds!" The stage director yells. We can hear the crowd and my heart beat speeds up.

"Okay guys." Chan says putting his hand in the middle. We all put our hands on top of his.

"Let's have a good show. Nobody get hurt and let's show what we can do." We can barley hear him over all the screaming.

"Stray kids on three!"

"One. Two. Three. Straykids!" We shout. Putting our hands in the air.

"You guys are on!" We hear the director say. We walk on stage one by one. The crowd screams. I see the tv cameras and the place full of stays. I take deep breaths calming my nerves.

The music starts and we take our places. On cue Chan says his lines and we all dance. All my nerves are gone and replaced with confidence. Nobody messed up. The performance was going smoothly. The crowd went wild at the 'poppin' part of the choreo.

There are so many stays here. Everyone seems to be loving maniac and the dance.

My hardest line is near the end of the song. I have a high note. I step into the center and hold the mic.

I sing my part feeling the note come out perfectly. The boys keep dancing and the song finishes up. We all stand in our ending fairies, breathless.

The camera cuts on me. I am breathing hard and only notice the camera because the crowd screams. I smile at and wink receiving a wave of screams back.

After we catch our breath we talk with Stay for a little.

"Hiii everyone!" I say waving to people in the crowd who were making eye contact with me.

"ALYSSA I LOVE YOU!" A random fanboy shouts at the top of his lungs. The members notice and try to hold in laughter.

"I don't know who that was but I love you to." I laugh.

"Okay first things first how are we liking Oddinary?" Chan asks the crowd. They scream so loud that my in ear was basically pointless.

We all stumble back in response.

"Okay a lot then." He laughs.

———-

I go straight into the waiting room and plop on the couch.

"I'm so tired." I close my eyes and hear footsteps coming closer to me. It was Minho. He falls on me, his back against me.

"Oh my god I can't breathe!" I say struggling to get him off. He just laughs.

"Your taking up the whole couch!" He yells. Pushing him self more down on every word.

"OWWWW! OKAY ILL MOVE ILL MOVE JUST GET OFF!" I yell causing everyone to start laughing at us. Minho gets off of me and I sit up so he has a spot to sit.
