Courage in the Game (Completed)

Normal Time

Luhan (Exo)

"Come on guys, can't we take a break?" Chanyeol pleaded.

"Not at the moment," I answered him.

For the concert, I had teamed up with Chanyeol,Taeyang, Ricky, and Hunter. I was more than sure than Chanyeol, Taeyang and me could pull it off without much pratcice, but I wasn't too terribly sure about Ricky or Hunter. They seemed more pop and less hip hop. I don't know how long we had been praticing, but I knew we surely needed it. I could only watch as the rest of my group joined Chanyeol on the ground.

"Why are we practicing this hard this early?" Ricky asked.

"Cuz we need it," I responded.

"Need it?" Hunter threw in.

"Yes. This is probably the biggest event ever. It's not like regular concerts," I said.

Aish. How did I get stuck with these guys again? Oh yeah I needed a group because I sure as hell didn't want to do a solo act. Sure I had solo parts in songs, but I had never done an entire song and dance by myself. I sighed as I joined my group on the ground. They were right. We had been practicing like crazy and it was maybe the second or third day since we had found out we were doing a concert. While I laid back on the grass/dirt, I thought back to when we had formed the group. Yeah, it had been awkward at first, but we quickly got over that. We had spent a lot of the first day trying to choose a song. We didn't want to do something slow due to the fact it didn't seem to fit us. Right before we broke for dinner, we had found a song. I guess we had Hunter to thank for that. Him and his American artists. He played Kanye West's 'Love Lockdown' and we instantly liked it.

"So how about we take tomorrow off? We're probably ahead of everyone else," Taeyang suggested in his usual semi-quiet tone.

"A day off from this group would be much needed on my end," Hunter added. "I still have practice with Midnight to do too."

"All right we take tomorrow off," I told them.

They cheered and left one by one. After a few minutes, I was the only one left. Huh shows how much my group actually likes me. I enjoyed the sight of the thin clouds that were in the sky, it was a nice change from the constant sun we had been having since we arrived. Maybe we would get a bit of rain. Thinking of that rain, I began to think of Rayne, the girl. How was it possible she could make Tao and Kris act the way they did. And before now, I had never known Kris to explode over a girl like that. If he continued on this path, he was going to scare her away. It was then that soft singing ripped me away from my thoughts. I loved the voice but had no clue what the words were. It was in a language I didn't know. I sighed, got up, and quickly dusted myself off. I wanted to know who was singing and, if I could, find out what the words were. It didn't take me long to find out who it was. I was shocked though to find out it was Rayne. She was just calmly walking along and singing to herself. It was like she didn't have a care in the world. I cursed life when a branch snapped under my foot. So much for silently listening to her.

Rayne spun around at the sound of the branch snapping. "Oh hi Luhan."

That was all I got? Oh well. "Hey. What are ya doing out here?"

"Trying to choose a song."

"You haven't picked one yet?"

"Well I almost had one, but then Niel left. Now I need to choose a new one."

My eyes widened. "You're gonna do a solo?"

Rayne nodded. "Sadly yes. I don't think Niel will be able to do the concert with me."

"And you didn't get into a group or pairing?"

"Nope. Everyone's taken."

"And you're fine with doing a solo act?"
