Seung Cheol stood in front of his group's dressing room mirror, adjusting his tie nervously. Tonight's concert was special, not just because it was in a huge arena filled with screaming fans, but also because you, his longtime crush and the group's stylist, would be backstage, helping with last-minute wardrobe adjustments.

He couldn't deny the butterflies fluttering in his stomach whenever he thought about you. Your smile, your laugh, the way you focused intently on your work – it all enchanted him. But he never found the courage to confess his feelings, fearing it might complicate their professional relationship.

As he stepped out of the dressing room, he immediately spotted you amidst the bustle backstage, surrounded by racks of clothes and busy staff members. Your eyes met his, and you offered him a warm smile that made his heart skip a beat.

"Hey, Seung Cheol," you greeted him, your voice sending a shiver down his spine. "Are you ready for tonight?"

He nodded, trying to mask his nervousness with a confident smile.

"Yeah, just a bit anxious, you know. But I'll be fine once we hit the stage."

You chuckled softly, a sound that Seung Cheol found utterly captivating.

"You always say that, but I know you'll rock it as usual."

As the other members gathered around, you began making final adjustments to their outfits, your hands skillfully smoothing out any wrinkles and ensuring everything was perfect for their performance. Seung Cheol couldn't help but steal glances at you whenever he thought you weren't looking, admiring the way you focused on your work with such dedication.

As the time for the concert drew closer, the backstage area became even more chaotic. Members rushed around, grabbing their microphones and checking their hair and makeup one last time. Seung Cheol found himself standing beside you, watching as you meticulously inspected each member's attire.

"You've got a real knack for this," he complimented, unable to hold back his admiration any longer.

You glanced up at him, a faint blush tinting your cheeks. "Thanks, Seung Cheol. It means a lot coming from you."

Before he could respond, the stage manager called for the group to get ready to go on stage. Seung Cheol took one last look at you, wishing he could muster the courage to tell you how he felt. But with the roar of the crowd growing louder by the second, there was no time for such thoughts.

As Seventeen burst onto the stage, the energy in the arena reached a fever pitch. Seung Cheol poured all of his passion and emotion into his performance, feeding off the crowd's enthusiasm. But amidst the pulsating beat of the music, his mind kept drifting back to you, the one person who had the power to make his heart race faster than any concert ever could.

After the concert ended, Seung Cheol returned to the dressing room, exhilarated from the performance but still feeling a twinge of regret for not confessing his feelings to you. However, as he entered the room, he was greeted by the sight of you waiting for him, a soft smile playing on your lips.

"Hey," you said, stepping closer to him. "You guys were amazing out there."

Seung Cheol's heart skipped a beat at your proximity, his mind racing with a million thoughts. And then, before he could overthink it, he blurted out the words he had been holding back for so long.

"Y/n, there's something I need to tell you," he began, his voice trembling with emotion. "I've admired you for so long, not just for your talent but for who you are as a person. And... I think I might be falling for you."

There was a moment of stunned silence, broken only by the sound of his racing heartbeat. And then, to his utter relief and joy, you smiled, reaching out to take his hand in yours.

"Seung Cheol, I've been hoping you'd say that," you confessed, your eyes sparkling with warmth. "I've had feelings for you too, but I didn't want to risk our friendship and working relationship."

In that moment, all of Seung Cheol's fears and doubts melted away, replaced by a surge of happiness unlike anything he had ever felt before. As he looked into your eyes, he knew that this was just the beginning of a beautiful new chapter in both of their lives.

With a shy smile, he leaned in closer, capturing your lips in a tender kiss that ignited a passion neither of them could deny. And as they embraced, the world faded away, leaving only the two of them and the promise of a love that was destined to burn brighter than any stage lights.
