The Night Performance

Debut

Content Warning: Suggestive jokes.

------------------------------------------------------------

The gang started to pack all that's necessary for them to perform in front of the officials. Everyone is equally as happy to be invited to the high grounds as their first performance as much as they're panicking that they have yet to had any live performance before. It appears to be a complicated situation, but the gang knew they had to work it out.

"Guys" Rifqi called out to all his friends.

"I know this is our very first time performing in real time. But a performance is a performance, our first time just happen to be in front of the riches. No matter how challenging it may be, it's still a stepping stone for us to reach a more prosperous fleet in the industry." Rifqi rarely delivers a motivational speech and when he does, it really works well.

"Our stepping stones just happen to be Mt. Everest, it seems." Cube replied, Seemingly proud of his boyfriend.

"Whatever mountain it is, I'm sure we could climb it no matter how tall. Just as long as we're together." Hana added more to Cube's statement.

"Yall so corny jeez." Zeri rolled their eyes.

"Good thing corn tasted good." And Zeri literally ate a corn after. Whatever you say bro.

"So we in this together?" Indi asked the crowd.

Everyone nodded and make sounds of agreement.

"We got this."

The next morning, everyone woke up earlier than expected due to the pressure they all felt. Everyone did everything they could to relief the stress. Ssam and Seth would clean their rooms to clean their heads off, Hana and Sailo would cook for others in hopes of burning their distress away. Elen helped a bit by displaying the recipe on her screen. Rifqi, Zeri, and Ali would eat their cooking clean, leaving no crumbs. And finally, Cube, Arga, and Indi fiddled their stress away with the music they made while also improving their skills.

Everyone had already gotten permission from their manager to take a day off to perform for today, they had to show multiple evidence for their managers to believe. It just sounds so crazy that some nearly didn't get permitted to take a day off. It'd be nuts if that happens.

"Guys, we rock n rollin'?" Cube shouted, inviting everyone to a group jam.

"Let's roll." Rifqi smirked at Cube. Cube replied with a soft smile.

Everyone unpacked their already packed instruments just so they could practice for one last time before performing. Don't know why they even pack the instruments in the first place only to unpack them all over again.

And so they started to replay all the songs they made before, giving their all before the stage performance. Whenever someone made a mistake, one should make sure to improvise on their own. Their songs became even more dramatic as they make their last stance before gambling on their fate in the music industry.

Once they're done, they started to pack their stuff again and put it inside their van. No they're not going by the van, Hana and Arga will drive the van full of packed instruments to their destination while the rest ordered a taxi to go. Seth definitely funded their taxi.

After a pretty long trip, they finally arrived at the front gate.

"We arrived at the destination" The drived informed it's passengers.

"Enter the gate." Elen stated.

"What?"

"We got the permission to come in, just drive inside."
