Cadenza [BINI Mikha X OC]

Chapter 26: A Rockstar

The screen illuminated in crimson red, and Mikha's name flashed across it. While Gwen's performance had been the highlight for many, the cheers for Mikha were just as thunderous. Her fanbase was significant, and no one could deny the energy she brought every time she stepped onto the stage. BINI had no weak links; every member delivered in their own way, whether it was emotion or energy. Tonight, Mikha was ready to bring the latter.

As the music started, the tempo seemed slower than expected, causing a ripple of anticipation. Fans knew Mikha could sing, but most assumed this performance would lean more on vocals than anything else. That assumption was shattered when she stepped forward with an electric guitar in hand. With the first slow, deliberate riff, she set the tone for something extraordinary. The melody was smooth yet bold, drawing the audience in. Jon had taught her that guitar solos were not about speed but about feeling every note, and Mikha delivered on that philosophy.

The slow, soulful riffs began to quicken, each note more intricate than the last, and the crowd exploded into cheers. Mikha's journey with the guitar had been short but intense, and the progress she made was on full display tonight. Her fingers danced across the frets with ease, hitting every note as Jon accompanied her on rhythm. As she approached the end of the solo, Mikha realized that she hadn't made a single mistake, something she had worried about. All those hours of practice had paid off.

As the solo faded out, the band smoothly transitioned into the main melody of the song, and Mikha took center stage. Her fierce expression held the crowd captive as she sang the opening lyrics.

[Track 07: Dangerous Woman – Arianna Grande]

Don't need permission

Made my decision to test my limits

Cause it's my business

God as my witness

Start what I finished

Don't need no hold up

Dressed in a silver and black ensemble that gleamed under the stage lights, Mikha's appearance was a striking contrast to her fiery crimson hair. The sharp contrast of colors mirrored the intensity in her voice. When she reached the chorus, the shift was palpable:

Somethin' 'bout you makes me feel like a dangerous woman

Somethin' 'bout, somethin' 'bout, somethin' 'bout you...

The crowd erupted, drawn to this renewed side of Mikha, a fierce rockstar who radiated confidence. Fans were enthralled by the energy she channeled, her performance leaving them wondering if Mikha was destined for rock anthems rather than just pop ballads.

As the song progressed, Mikha's voice grew more powerful, her delivery became more assertive. The way she played the power chords, her posture as she moved across the stage with purpose, even the slight smirk that played on her lips. Everything about her radiated confidence. She wasn't just performing. She was commanding the stage, owning it like she had been born for it.

Fans in the crowd, many of whom had followed BINI since their debut, were experiencing a side of Mikha they had seen before, but never to this extent. She always had that fierce aura in her that built up as BINI released their first album. Whispers rippled through the audience, speculating on how effortlessly Mikha transitioned into this rock-infused performance.
