Epitome of Her

Just an act of kindness

Mark's POV.
Encore Stage
We all headed on stage for the final encore stage with all the performers at the concert today.
It was sprinkling down with rain and we weren't allowed to bring umbrellas on stage so we had no choice but to get a little wet.

They made us sing the encore song which was TVXQ sunbaenim's 'Balloons' which was a song we all were familiar with. It was funny seeing Haechan sing his heart out amongst all the other idols who were singing along. Renjun was also singing too.

After the song, my members and I walked around the stage, greeting and waving to our fans and the crowd. It was a nice experience performing in front of such a large crowd. I was also able to catch up with a few of my fellow Canadian idol friends today too which was cool.

I led the members around the stage, making sure we went around the whole stage.

As I turned around to head over to the other side, I saw a small figure right in front of me, my eyes widened as I quickly bowed my head. Last thing I needed was to stare at the girl who has been on my mind 24/7 and getting into a scandal for staring at her too long on stage.
I could see her excitedly running over to her fellow member who was an MC today for the concert.

"Hyein-ah!! Our cute maknae, you did so well~~" I heard her call, I couldn't help but chuckle under my breath.

I turned my head towards her direction as I saw this tall male idol staring at her, as he walked over in her direction, trying to get her attention before bowing and greeting her.
I looked away feeling a sense of frustration burning up in my chest. Why did he have to hover around her like that? Why did he look at her like that?

Or maybe I was just over thinking everything I just briefly saw.

I shook off the thought, telling myself that I was being over dramatic and I should not care. It wasn't my business anyways.

After a while, all the staff started motioning and requesting for the idols to leave the stage as they ended the concert. I told the members to wait a bit after seeing the rush of idols exiting through the hallway, my eyes couldn't help but wander on the petite girl squish through the crowd of idols along with her group.

Hanni's POV.
Back Stage

All the idols started heading backstage after the encore, it felt like rush hour at train stations. The crowd of idols and staff all scooting down the hallways trying to pack up and go home. It wasn't helping that I was on the smaller side.

I felt someone bump into me as they rushed past in a hurry. I stumbled on my feet before Haerin grabbed my arm quickly holding me steady.

"Unnie you okay?" She asked.

I nodded, "Mmm I'm fine."

"Stick with me unnie," Haerin said as she entangled her arm around mine cutely.

"Look at our kitten protecting me~~" I teased her as she chuckled shyly.

"Hanni-sunbaenim!" I heard a distant voice call out from behind.

At first, I thought I misheard it but the voice called again.

"Hanni-sunbaenim!!" This time louder. It was definitely a male voice.

The bustling hallway filled with everyone talking was definitely not quiet so maybe they were calling out someone else's name.

"Hanni-ssi!" The voice called another, this time it sounded much closer behind me, feeling a hand on my shoulder which caused me to flinch.
