CHAEYOUNG.
I kept on wringing my hands over and over as the time for the start of the show approaches. I have been to numerous ones but this is something beyond my wildest imagination. Aside from the fact that the tickets are sold out, this is the first time I will perform in this sky dome. I took a deep breath and looked around. I smiled internally seeing everyone doing the tasks assigned to them. The teamwork at OA is undeniable and I love it. I love everyone here. I looked at Ally and she smiled.
"Are you ready?" she asked and I nodded, feeling 100%. The excitement is already taking over the fear.
"Yes, unnie. I have never felt this thrill before and I'm beyond thankful to everyone who made this happen. It really is happening, isn't it?" I asked, still unbelieving. Alice chuckled and gave me a quick hug.
"It really is happening, Chaengie. Congratulations on making it this far. I couldn't have been more proud. Mum and Dada is already in the crowd. Break a leg, Rosie! I love you," Alice said and gave me another quick hug. I chuckled a little weakly at that. Mum and Dada is already in the crowd. I took another deep breath and stood up. It's almost time.
I looked at the overhead clock with the countdown and 10 more minutes left.
"Rosie, it's almost time. Come, you need to be backstage already," Hye-ri said, one of the technical assistants. I nodded and took another deep breath.
"Let's go," I said and followed her. I briefly saw Jennie and Lisa today as everyone is so busy making this day absolutely perfect. I couldn't wish for anything more. I also love how the agency handled the ticket selling, making sure that everybody will get a fair chance and scraping down those who will attempt to sell their tickets for a much higher price. I internally scowl at that. Lisa is a genius in tweaking the website on the ticket selling days. She was hands on and monitored everything. Jennie is a little overbearing because of nerves I think but I love how Lisa calms her down. I chuckled at the thought of not really feeling so envious now. I will have my time and when it comes, I will never let go again.
I can hear my song playing in the background as soon as I approach the backstage. I can hear the fans singing along and all the screaming. My heart literally expanded at that. I will give them all my best tonight and for all of the lined up shows around the world.
"5 minutes!" I heard a shout and a staff ushered me to the rising platform to prepare. I saw Jennie and Lisa again hurrying over.
"Break a leg, Rosie. You can do it!" Lisa exclaimed and wrapped an arm around Jennie.
"Good luck, Rosie! Fighting!" Jennie screamed in excitement and I nodded teary eyed.
"Okay guys, it's almost time. Let's do this," Hye-ri said and checked her watch.
"Alright, here we go. In 3, 2, 1, hoooooooo!" Lisa screamed and I set my face as the platform rose. I was met with the fans' screams and I grinned as the music started playing.
I've been driving for an hour
Just talking to the rain
You say I've been driving you crazy
And it's keeping you away
So just give me one good reason
Tell me why I should stay
'Cause I don't wanna waste another moment
Saying things we never meant to say
And I, take it just a little bit
I, hold my breath and count to ten
I've, been waiting for a chance to let you in
If I just breathe
Let it fill the space between
I'll know, everything is alright
Breathe
Every little piece of me, you'll see
Everything is alright
If I just breathe
