25 | the spotlight on us

the energy of the crowd was contagious as we waited for the show to begin.

seated in the very front row of the vip section, i had the best view imaginable, with two bodyguards stationed by my side for added security.

my friends sat beside me, buzzing with excitement, and i couldn't help but feel an overwhelming sense of gratitude. everything jake had done for me led to this moment, and it was surreal to be so close to him.

this was my first time sitting at the front row of a concert, and it felt as if i were at the edge of the universe, on the cusp of something unforgettable.

as the lights dimmed, a wave of anticipation washed over the arena, the crowd roaring in excitement. the stage lit up, and then, enhypen made their entrance.

it was... majestic.

the way they walked out, the confidence, the aura they carried-it was undeniable. they were the stars tonight, owning the stage as if it were built just for them. the lights framed them like they were straight out of a dream, and the thunderous applause only amplified the excitement buzzing through the air.

my heart raced as the show began, the music thumping through my chest. watching them perform up close was an entirely different experience.

i could feel the energy of the crowd surrounding me, but my eyes were glued to jake.

the way he moved, the way he commanded the stage-it was effortless. his presence was powerful, magnetic even. and once again, i found myself wondering how on earth i managed to pull the starboy.

every now and then, i caught myself smiling in awe of him. i barely noticed the performances passing by, most of the time, my focus entirely on jake. no one else mattered. it was like the world faded, and it was just him up there, shining brighter than anyone else.

at one point, during a song with a particularly romantic line, jake pointed to me. a playful wink followed, and i could feel my cheeks heating up as i realized he was looking at me.

"oh my fucking gosh, he just pointed at me!"

"girl, he was winking at me!"

the girls behind me squealed, thinking he was pointing at them, but i knew the truth. my heart swelled with pride and love, knowing that his gaze, his attention, was only ever on me.

the performances seemed to fly by, song after song blending into one incredible show. but then, as they paused to interact with the fans, a question rang out that immediately shifted the atmosphere.

"jake! is it true? do you have a secret girlfriend?" a fan's voice called out, loud enough for everyone to hear.

the murmurs in the crowd grew louder, like a ripple through the ocean.

"yeah, jake! do you really have a girlfriend?" someone else shouted, and soon, a chorus of voices joined in.

i froze in my seat, my pulse quickening. i glanced toward jake, noticing the shift in his expression, the slight discomfort crossing his face.

the other members looked at him too, some laughing it off, but i knew this question was something that weighed heavily on him.

but before the tension could build any further, a voice broke through.

"jake, if it's true, don't worry! we'll support you no matter what!"

a fan called out from the middle of the crowd, and just like that, the atmosphere shifted again. others joined in, shouting their support, and i could see the relief wash over jake's face.
