Fri [ends] ミ Taennie

Prologue

Taehyung sat in the dimly lit dressing room, his heart racing like a drum. He couldn't believe it was finally happening – his debut performance with BTS. But what if he messed up? What if he forgot the choreography or lyrics?

"Hey, V, are you okay?" Jimin asked, noticing Taehyung's absence from the group's pre-stage huddle.

"I...I need a minute," Taehyung replied, his voice shaking slightly.

He got up and walked away from the bustling backstage area, seeking solace in a quiet corner. He took deep breaths, trying to calm his nerves.

"V, what's wrong?" Suga's voice came from behind him.

"I don't know if I can do this," Taehyung confessed, his eyes welling up with tears. "What if I fail?"

Suga placed a reassuring hand on his shoulder. "You won't fail, V. We're a team. We've got your back."

Taehyung nodded, feeling a bit better. But he still needed a moment to collect himself.

"Take your time," Suga said. "We'll start without you. Just join us when you're ready."

Taehyung watched as his members took the stage, the crowd erupting in cheers. He closed his eyes, focusing on the music and the familiar voices of his members.

Taehyung took a few more deep breaths, feeling the cool air fill his lungs. He reminded himself of all the hours, days, and months of practice, of the countless times he'd rehearsed with his members.

"I can do this," he whispered to himself, his voice growing stronger.

He thought about why he started dancing and singing in the first place – for the love of music, for the thrill of performing, and for the joy of sharing that with others.

Slowly but surely, Taehyung's nerves began to settle. His heart rate slowed, and his mind cleared. He visualized himself performing with confidence and passion, the crowd cheering him on.

With newfound determination, Taehyung stood up, smoothed out his stage outfit, and made his way back to the wings. He could hear the music, his members' voices, and the roar of the audience.

As he peeked onto the stage, he saw Jimin, Jungkook, RM, Suga, J-Hope, and Jin performing with energy and charisma. Taehyung's heart swelled with pride and belonging.

As Taehyung was about to step onto the stage, he noticed a young girl, probably around his age, standing in the wings, clutching a microphone. Her eyes were wide with fear, and her body was shaking uncontrollably. She looked like she was on the verge of tears.

Taehyung's heart went out to her. He knew exactly how she felt. He had been in her shoes just moments before.

Without hesitation, Taehyung approached her. "Hey, are you okay?" he asked softly, trying to calm her down.
