Happy Tears or Sad Smile?

Lorraine's POV

"And for the main event, let's welcome Theron Viransvelt performing Blackpink's DDU-DU-DDU-DU!!" Nagaria's voice blasted through the microphone, and I winced as my ears rang from the sudden noise.

The room buzzed with excitement, and the crowd erupted in cheers.

Everyone at Xylo was eagerly waiting for Theron to make his grand entrance.

I couldn't help but smile, feeling a bit of the excitement rub off on me.

After all, it wasn’t every day you got to see someone like Theron perform.

I glanced around the room, recognizing faces from the entertainment industry—actors, actresses, models.

Everyone seemed to be here, and the energy in the room was contagious.

When Theron finally stepped onto the stage, the crowd went wild.

He looked amazing, as always, dressed in a bold outfit: a tube crop top and an A-line skirt that fell just below his knees.

It was the kind of outfit only he could pull off.

His toned body and six-pack abs were on full display, and it was impossible not to admire how confident he looked.

"You're so hot, Theron!" Penelope shouted next to me, laughing as she said it.

It was a playful comment, but there was no denying that Theron had a magnetic presence.

He flashed a carefree grin and kept dancing, completely unbothered by the attention.

That was just who he was—easygoing, charming, and totally comfortable in his own skin.

It was no surprise that so many people had shown up to celebrate his birthday.

Theron had a way of making everyone around him feel at ease.

As the music played, Theron began to dance, his movements smooth and perfectly in sync with the beat.

He wasn’t alone—his backup dancers joined him, adding to the energy of the performance.

The crowd cheered him on, and laughter filled the air.

Even the emcee, who was his brother, couldn’t help but laugh at Theron’s playful antics on stage.

I found myself laughing too.

Theron was absolutely adorable, and his carefree spirit was infectious.

I laughed so hard that tears started to form in the corners of my eyes, and my stomach began to ache from the joy of it all.

"Hit me with that gun of yours!" Penelope joked again, as the song’s chorus hit.

She joined in the dancing, and soon enough, everyone else followed.

I couldn’t resist either—I wasn’t about to sit on the sidelines while everyone else was having fun.

But as I danced, something caught my eye.

Theron was looking directly at me, even while he was moving to the music.

His eyes locked onto mine, and he flashed me a wide grin before motioning for me to come closer.

I hesitated for a moment, a little surprised.
