"Jennie, what are you saying? You have your own performance to worry about," Alison told her.
"Don't worry about it, Ali. My performance will not be until the latter half of the show," Jennie reassured her manager. "Besides, they're my juniors. I can help them so why not let me?"
It was Night who spoke up from the band first. He looked at Jennie straight in the eyes. "We've never played together before. And we don't have time to practice now."
"I can coordinate with you. I've listened to your music in the last few days. I know how to play your songs." Then she turned to Eros. "Can you let me borrow your guitar? If not, I can borrow one from the show."
"Of course you can borrow my guitar," Eros replied with his mesmerizing voice. "But I use a left-handed guitar..."
"No problem. I can use either right-handed or left-handed."
"Wow, goddess! For real? You're gonna play with us? I'm so stoked!" Thunder was almost bouncing in his excitement.
"Ahaha! This is great! I don't even care anymore if we mess up our performance tonight. Just having Senior Jennie perform together on the same stage tonight will guarantee that we're gonna be the talk of the town afterwards." Blaze turned to their manager. "Alison, let us do this! We want to do this!"
"You!" Alison sighed, massaging her temples.
In the end, the manager agreed to the idea. She trusted Jennie but not so much the young men. After asking Jennie to look out for her juniors, Alison left to bring Eros to the hospital for treatment.
Jennie returned to her dressing room to change into one of her back-up dresses. She also asked her hair stylist and make-up artist to make some changes in her appearance. After a few minutes, a staff member called Jennie to stand-by backstage with the band members.
Lisa walked beside her and she could feel that something was bothering him. He looked stiff and although most of his face was covered by a mask and shades, she knew that his expression looked unpleasant.
"What is it?" She asked him in a whisper.
He hesitated before saying, "Nothing. Don't worry about me. Just do your best on the stage out there. I'll be watching and waiting for you backstage. I know you're going to be amazing, love."
"Okay. Watch me, hon."
"En."
She met up with Blaze, Night and Thunder who were already on stand-by.
The young men's eyes lit up when they saw her, looking at her up and down with appreciation. But when they tried to stand closer to her, they felt a cold and dangerous aura from the tall bodyguard beside her. They instinctively stepped back.
The three young men chatted with each other instead, but as their performance drew nearer by the second, they began to feel nervous. Fortunately, seeing Jennie looking unfazed, they were somewhat able to force themselves to calm down.

On the stage, the male and female hosts smiled at the camera in front of them when they received the signal from the director that the commercials just ended.
"Welcome back to 'MusicFest Tonight'!" They said together.
"Are you ready for the next performance?" The male host asked the audience.
Audience: "Yes!"
"Our next performers are a rock band that is gaining attention because all of their members are very good-looking—"
The female host couldn't finish her introduction because a group of teenage girls and young women began screaming.
"Uwah! Is it Pandemonium? Finally! It's the turn of my four husbands!"
