The rehearsals went on for the concert, the members felt how the time went by quickly but equally draining their energy.

Despite their tiredness, the members of NCT Dream were excited to meet their fans. The cheers and energy from NCTzens fueled their spirits throughout the three-hour concert, making every moment on stage unforgettable.

The last rehersal started as the members lined up taking their positions as the choreography started while their instructor Baekhyeon analysed their fluid movements throughout the dance.

Hannah joined, standing beside Baekhyeon, startling Mark a little. Despite his initial surprise, he maintained his professionalism, even though his eyes were drawn to her as she focused intently on the soundcheck.

As the composer, her presence was crucial, and her keen ear picked up every nuance, ensuring everything was perfect. Mark couldn't help but admire her dedication and expertise.

As the final song ended, Hannah and Baekhyeon joined together in applauding the exhausted boys. Some of the performers dropped to the stage floor, panting and grinning, while others staggered off to grab bottles of water, their faces flushed with exertion.

Hannah walked backstage with the other members and staffs who were recording.

Mark approached the younger girl.
"Hey, come with us" Jaemin said, not wanting her to feel left out as she's new here.
"It's fine, I'll be here in the waiting area" Hannah said, trying to decline.

Jaemin insisted.
"Please"
"It's fine na go change" Hannah whined.
"No you're coming" Jaemin said as he walked behind her to see where she's going.

Hannah gave in and went with him to the green room.

Her eyes sparkled spotting Mark as she quickened her pace, not even noticing how she left the person she came with.

Hannah held Mark's hand out of excitement. A sudden warmth spread through his chest, and his heart started to race. He could feel a tingle in his stomach, like a swarm of butterflies taking flight. Every sensation seemed heightened, and he couldn't help but smile, hoping she didn't notice how nervous and exhilarated he felt.

"You're so good at it Mark! How can you be this amazing!" Hannah asked looking up at Mark who got flushed, not recovering from how she held his hand.

Jaemin noticed their composer talking with Mark, who was flushed, his ears visibly red. A faint smile spread across Jaemin's lips at the sight, recognizing the telltale signs of Mark's nervous excitement.

Jisung walked past, having just finished getting his outfit checked by Chanwoo. Munching on gummies which were likely swiped from Jeno's bag his eyes went to the soon-to-be couple holding hands, making him choke in surprise. Chenle, who had just completed his own outfit check, followed after him and patted his back out of concern.

"Yah, can't you eat carefully?" Chenle said as Jisung took a sip of water.
"Look ahead" Jisung said out, disgust evident in his face.
"Oh it's happening sooner than expected I guess" Chenle said, noticing how lovesick Mark looked.

Jisung was truely disgusted by the sight, shrugging it off mumbling something antiromantic he took the vacant seat to get his makeup done.

"Mark"
Mark's name was called by the makeup artist as he excused himself from Hannah and took a seat beside Chenle who kept on giving side eyes to him.

I'm dead now

Chanwoo noticed Hannah now seated alone in the couch, noticing that he was done with outfit checks Chanwoo took a seat beside her.
