There is something in performing in front of the crowd that's addicting. Maybe this is how Vine feels. I also think that maybe their palms are sweating from nervousness when they performed the first time on stage. Maybe their chest also beats faster as they climb the stage.

"I will introduce you as a guest performer," Levi whispered. He was standing by my side while adjusting the mic. He signaled the operator to open the mic connection to the speaker.

"I'm nervous," I whispered. But maybe because the Vinepress yelled too loudly and his mind was busy so he didn't hear me.

I felt someone approach and stood behind me. "After this, leave. Go back to EGL," Tiden's voice.

My body stiffened for a bit. I felt him step away and return to his place. My gaze followed Tiden's retreating back. He has been nagging me to leave. I do not know why. He wouldn't stop so I promised to leave immediately after.

I want to ask him what the problem is but he doesn't give me the chance. I was hesitant to walk close to him because Maingey has been watching my every move since in the dressing room. So annoying!

"Good evening, Vinepress! Let's welcome our dearest idols, Vine!"

The fans cheered and applauded. I lowered my head in shame. I was suddenly nervous. My palm was cold while holding the mic and standing by Levi's side.

"Levi idol, who is that girl beside you?"

"You have a new member, my loves?"

"Ariel love love you!"

"Kyaaah! You are so handsome! Bed me now, Levi! I'm willing to spread my legs for you!"

I coughed a bit at a fan's scream. Uh, maybe it's better for her to keep quiet? I looked at Levi. He didn't react while placing the single mic on the mic stand. So I was the only one who's embarrassed by the female fan's scream. Uh.

"Hi, girls. It's nice to see you here tonight," Ariel said at last. I looked at him. He was sitting behind the drumset and holding the drumsticks with one hand while the other held the microphone. He winked at the fans. "Would you like me to introduce my members?" The fans screamed and Ariel laughed. "I think it's not necessary no? You already know us, girls. We'll just introduce the guest performer who will join us today. Levi bro, please do the honor."

I bit my lip and looked at Levi. He was staring at me. My cheeks just got hotter. I looked away.

"Nicole is sick. She can't perform tonight, so we invited this beautiful girl in front of you to help us give you an enchanting song that will lift your mood. No other than, Miss Rishel Joy."

The fans applauded. Levi motioned to Ariel. The latter nodded and gave three beats on the drums. Tiden started strumming his electric guitar. For me, it's like a melody that excites. And it looks like the fans feel the same way.

"Bloody sick, bloody hell
You turn my life high on top
You put a blood on my wine
It gives me power to dominate!"

I danced slightly into the music, headbanging a bit. Even Ariel and Levi did the same. When I glanced at Tiden, he remained standing. He was looking down at his electric guitar and only his fingers moved throughout his body.

"You f**** leech I gave you power
To dominate my body, turning me on
Give me power to dominate
Give me power to dominate!"

I laughed and jumped above the stage. I smiled when even Levi jumped up and down on the stage and banged his head too.

"High on top I overcome
Love of many I drank
Fame and wealth I possess
I give you all, I give my soul!"

I caught a glimpse of June. He was smiling but because he had the keys, he just gently headbanged and remained seated. My heart is about to explode with the strength of the pulse at the same time as the fast beat of the song.
