Backstage -


"Waaaaaaaaah!"

"Aaaahhh!"


As soon as the VCR ended, fans erupted in loud cheers.

The intense noise that shook the floor was transmitted all the way backstage.

Seohan gulped and bit his lower lip.


I was already nervous during the press showcase, but the current stage felt even more nerve-racking.

I mean, I can't help but be anxious when there are fans like that.

To be honest, I don't think there is anyone here who is completely calm.


Kang Siwoo glanced at the members' complexions with a stiff expression.


"Everyone is okay, right?"

"I don't know. I'm so nervous..."

"What about you, Sehyun?"

"I always have a steel mentality. I feel fine."


Shwishwishwi-


Sehyun's hand holding the water bottle shook so violently that his words became invalid.


Seohan giggled and covered his mouth.

At that time, Seohan's gaze happened to land on Seongbin.


'Is he okay?'


Although he was mentally unstable, he was always confident on stage.

Seongbin was very disorganized during the mid-term evaluation, but he always performed well during practice.


Since we performed on stage together, I gained some trust in Seongbin.

But.


'It's more complicated today.'


He hasn't gained the title of a sunfish for no reason.


[PRD: In this instance, the word sunfish is Korean slang. There's a game in Korea where you raise a sunfish, and it often dies for the dumbest reasons, like dying because it got scared of its own shadow or cause it brushed against a rock and died. Seongbins mental state is compared to a weak sunfish.]


His complexion was somewhat pale, in contrast to his long, messy, bright blue hair.

Did you lose your energy during the press showcase earlier?

Or...


'As expected, did the incident online diminish your confidence?'


Well, Seongbin had a lot of worries even before standing on this stage.

After the classmate posted an apology, there were people who continued to spread the same story.


Most of them would have been bashed and deleted their own posts. That's just how life is.

A single curse is more noticeable than hundreds of compliments.

Seongbin was afraid that his fans would be disappointed by that incident.


Seohan watched Seongbin closely and spoke softly, putting his hand on his shoulder gently.


"Hyung, are you okay?"

"Oh... I'm fine. My heart is beating just a little fast? Maybe it's an arrhythmia?"
