Seokmin had always loved the electric hum of a music festival, the way the air vibrated with anticipation, the pulse of the crowd as they swayed under the setting sun.
He could feel the energy shift as the night began to settle in, the sky turning deep violet, and the stage lights flashing like stars.
But tonight was different.
He stood just outside the crowd, where the sound was still loud enough to feel but distant enough to allow his thoughts to wander.
It wasn't that he didn't want to be in the thick of it, but after hours of dancing and shouting, he needed a break.
The festival was a swirl of color, energy, and music, and it had been incredible, but something had tugged him away from the center of the chaos.
That's when he saw him.
Joshua.
The name caught in his throat like a secret, though Seokmin didn't know him, he hadn't even heard him speak yet.
All he knew was that the guy standing under the soft glow of a side-stage spotlight was about to perform.
His silhouette, elegant and poised, stood out against the shifting lights, and when he started to sing, Seokmin felt like everything else had vanished.
The crowd around him, the noise, the chaos, it all dissolved, leaving only the sound of Joshua's voice.
Joshua's voice was smooth and sweet, like honey poured over glass.
It floated on the air, rich and effortless, drawing every pair of eyes toward him, but it was Seokmin who felt like the world had narrowed to just the two of them.
There was something about the way Joshua held himself, the confidence that poured out in the melody, that made Seokmin's heart thump a little harder than usual.
His eyes were glued to the stage, watching every small movement, how Joshua's fingers danced along the microphone, the gentle smile that played on his lips as he connected with the crowd.
It wasn't just that he was a talented singer; there was something magnetic about him. Something pure.
Seokmin's breath caught in his throat as Joshua's gaze swept across the crowd.
For a brief, heart-stopping moment, their eyes met. Or at least, it felt like they did.
Joshua smiled softly, the kind of smile that could light up the entire night sky, and Seokmin's heart skipped a beat.
It was a moment that lasted only a second but echoed in Seokmin's chest long after the song ended.
He barely heard the applause, barely registered when Joshua left the stage.
