Rina was a bit jittery but not as much as last time. This was going to be her second stage and her first was already a hit. She just needed to relax and be herself like last time and everything would go her way.
"Relax pretty, you're going to be amazing." Yuta whispered into her ear from behind her. She could practically smell him before she saw him as his heavy cologne infiltrated her nose.
"Thank you." She whispered back going down to fix her makeup and earpiece as she needed something to take her mimd off.
"They go in five, get ready and stand on the platform." Taeyong shouted shooing Rina away from her station.
"Rina dont worry, you'll do good like last time." Mark said comforting her as he easily saw how nervous she was.
"Thank you Mark, I'm just excited to get on stage." She smiled at him making him sure that she wasn't feeling bad or scared.
As the platform raised them to the stage, she walked to her spot which was at the front and right next to Yuta. She knew the marketing team deliberately put them together for boosts but she didn't care.
After the curtains was raised and the song started , Yuta gave her a wink and started strumming his guitar as practiced which just made her more aware that she was going to sing infront of a huge crowd.
As she scanned the crowd she saw so many posters of her in the crowd, it gave her a boost of adrenaline and happiness as she knew that she wasn't alone.
The earpiece she had signalled her to start the first few lines of the song. "I'm so insecure I think, That I'll die before i drink and im so caught up in the news of who likes me and who hates you"
"I'm so tired that I might quit my job, start a new life and they'd all be so disappointed because who am I if not exploited?" she started tapping her feet to the rhythm.
"And I'm so sick of seventeen where's my fucking teenage dream?"
"If someone tells me one more time, enjoy your youth im gonna cry, and I dont stick up for myself im anxious and nothing can help"She held the mic tight as she sang into it as if it was going to run away if she didn't hold it properly.
"And I wish I'd done this more, And i wish people liked me more" she grinned as she looked across the crowd at rhe built up tension she made.
"All i did was try my best, this the kind of thanks i get im relentlessly upset" Rina took her mic and walked to Yuta.
She walked up to him as he was strumming the guitar whilst watching everything she was doing. They wanted to push the rumours Yuta and Rina out there, she'll entertain it "They say these are the golden years, but i wish i could disappear ego crush is so severe" she sang to him, her hand on his shoulder snaking up to her hair and the other on the mic.
"god it's brutal out here"
She let him do his part as she took a breather from the singing instead to dance to the instrumental.
Now that his solo was done it was her turn and she walked back to her mic stand and started singning "I feel like no one wants me, And I hate the way I'm perceived"
"I only have four real friends and lately I'm a nervous wreck" she pointed to her friends that were watching her backstage.
"Cause I love people I dont like, and I hate every song I write and I'm not cool and I'm not smart and I can't even parallel park" this line caused people to laugh in the crowd which wasn't intentionally what she wanted.
"All I did was try my best, this the kind of thanks i get, im relentlessly upset"
"They say these are the golden years,but I wish i could disappear ego crush is so severe"
"god it's brutal out here" She pointed to Mark to start his solo right after she finished, smiling after everything was going so smooth for her.
Her tone changed, after the hype sound now left a sad feeling. She went up to Johnny on the drums and sat on his lap singing, "Got a broken ego, a broken heart god i don't even know where to start"
She finished the song and got up from his lap over to her stand, bowing to crowd and everyone else. She thought Yuta would've been proud of her but when she looked into her eyes there was just a fire she couldn't explain it gave her a dark feeling.
She waved at the audience before going backstage to refresh herself before she had to start more songs and do some encores and requests from the audience.
