The sound of thousands of cheers always filled my veins with both anxiety and excitement. Even after a few years of performing, the nerves never fully went away. This was the last concert of our tour, which was always the most challenging. Mainly because we were all exhausted and just waiting to go back home.

We had just a couple of minutes before we had to step out onto the stage, so we all hovered around the entrance until we were cued inside. We were all dressed in the same gray t-shirts and jeans, our only differences being in accessories.

The group was silent, stone faced, lined up against the wall. Every few seconds one of the members would take a deep breath, including myself.

I felt a tap against my shoulder. I turned and faced Heeseung, who reached for my microphone. "The tape is peeling a little," he muttered as he pressed the tape deeper into my neck. I noticed that he already had a small bead of sweat traveling down the side of his face, so I assumed that even he was nervous. Heeseung was typically the most put together member, other than Jungwon. Probably because he always felt the need to take care of the rest of us. He adjusted the mic a bit in front of my mouth before giving me a thumbs up.

I quickly turned back around, and just in time, too. We were cued to head out onto the stage and were immediately met with the screams of the crowd. Each of us waved to the crowd as usual, smiling and shoving back our nerves.

The time seemed to move by much slower than usual, and I could already feel my exhaustion settling in right after the very first song. The other members thankfully didn't seem to notice, they were too focused on interacting with the crowd.

I glanced over at Sunoo, who was making heart gestures to Heeseung which made the fans squeal even louder than before. I watched the way he stared back at Sunoo with a brand new, strange sort of look. Lustful, almost. Which was a crazy idea, since Heeseung was, of course, straight. There was a strong possibility that I'd just misunderstood.

I wasn't sure what he was thinking, but I was more than curious. The ends of his hair were already beginning to stick onto his forehead, he seemed like he was more tired than usual, even more than I was. I realized I was staring at him for a while once his eyes finally left Sunoo's and settled onto mine. I was given that same odd look, and my throat instantly went dry.

Jake suddenly shook my arm, making me whip my head towards him. "What are you doing?" he whispered. "We're starting the next song!"

I took one last glance at Heeseung, who looked away but was clearly grinning to himself. I cursed under my breath and rushed into position. I'm not sure what the hell he took, but he was acting very different. Or maybe he was just giving me that look since I was gawking at him for so long.
