[after the performance has ended; closing statements made and fans exiting the stadium-like concert room]

"Hey, well it was really nice meeting you." Kyra smiled as we exited the biggest door that we had entered through to get to our seats.

"It was really nice meeting you too!" Cami exclaimed, energetically sticking out her hand for the girl to shake. Kyra laughed a little at Cami's excitement, then shaking Chen's hand as well.

"I'll see you two around at some other concerts, maybe?" Kyra asked with a hopeful smile, pointing playfully at the two.

"Maybe!" Cami laughed, looking towards Chen for a few seconds before turning back towards Kyra. "Do you want to maybe, exchange numbers or maybe-"

"Do you have a ---?"

"Oh, yeah I've got an account on there. My username is @OhCamiHun." she smiled with no embarrassment at all.

Kyra gave her a raised eyebrow and a little smirk, then pulling out her phone. "Easy to remember, but I'll add you now to be safe."

"We should keep in touch too," Chen added after Kyra had entered Cami's username into her phone. Kyra looked around at the lobby that was clearing out as she handed Chen her phone.

"You two probably want to find security and stuff so that you can go backstage. Usually once everyone clears out they let you hop on stage and go backstage that way." Kyra said, pointing back inside the room that people were still exiting out of. Chen handed the girl her phone with a thankful smile.

"Okay, so should we just wait out here then?" Chen asked.

With a simple nod Kyra pointed towards some security personnel that stood by the door. "They'll probably know. I mean, that's what I did last time."

"Last time?"

"Did I not tell you? I won a backstage pass at the last concert I went to." Kyra explained, seeming shocked herself that the two didn't know. "I didn't tell- I mean, what's revealed is revealed now, go have fun. I've gotta drive back home and get five cups of coffee so I don't crash."

"Drive safely!" Cami called after the girl as she soon left, leaving with a hug for each of them as she waved and rushed out of the door.

"So she..."

"Appears so." Cami shrugged, pointing towards the security guards Kyra had mentioned earlier. Cami was obviously pretty reluctant to talk to them, so Chen went ahead first and nearly dragged her friend towards the tall, scary-looking guards.

"Hi, sir-" Chen began, nearly startling the first guard, who was probably staring off into space or sleeping with his eyes open.

"오, 미안해. (Oh, I'm sorry.)" he apologized, suddenly not scary at all for a tall man dressed in black and with a formal pin attached to his chest. "Eric!"

"Yeah, yeah, what's up?" another man asked, holding a bagel in his hand as he walked over. Cami snickered lightly under her breath, but Chen gave her a nudge to shut up.

"Hi, yeah, we were wondering where to go if we get backstage passes from the-"

"Oh! Of course - right." Eric said, the realization hitting the man. He pulled out his phone from his back pocket, looking through a list for a moment. "Here it is, winners are seats 39, 40 and 277, 278."

"We're 39 and 40." Chen said quickly, already holding her own ticket in her hands and gesturing for Cami to take her own out. The man carefully took the ticket from her, reading over the seat number quite fast.

"And you'd probably want to keep this," he laughed, almost like an old friend, handing the ticket back to Chen. Finally Cami got her ticket out and handed it to the man too, Eric looking at it for less than two seconds and handing it back to her.

"You two look trust worthy enough," he laughed a little, glancing into the stadium. "We're clearing out the hall now so that we can let you in."

"Chanhyuk - there! They're over there," a girl shouted, causing them to turn around in the direction of the excited shout. The girl, her shining smile lighting up her face, pulled the same, taller boy that had appeared on the screen earlier.

"Soo-" the boy began, trying to fix his glasses. He was cut off by the girl tugging on his arm and sleeve.

"Hey, over here!" Chen called, recognizing the unique, inseparable-seeming pair.

They quickly came over, most likely due to the girl's urgent demeanor. For some reason though, as soon as the girl was faced with the challenge of talking to the security guard, she almost hid behind the boy.

"Hi, you two were the other two winners, right?" the boy asked, seeming suddenly more open and assertive than the girl who had dragged him over.

"Right, that's us." Cami nodded, pointing to herself and then at Chen. "My name's Cami."

"I'm Chen, nice to meet you." Chen smiled, raising her hand and waving it a little in greeting.

The boy nodded, raising his eyebrows the slightest at the sound of Chen's name, but didn't mention anything. He quickly replied, "I'm Chanhyuk and this is my sister Soohyun."

There was a slightly awkward pause, the two girls glancing at Soohyun, who was swaying back and forth while standing a bit behind her brother. The security guard broke the silence, which everyone seemed thankful for.

"So you two are seats 277 and 278?" he asked, the two replying with nods. Chanhyuk seemed to know what Eric would ask for next since he already reached down his pocket and held two tickets in his hand.

He read over the numbers on the ticket quickly as well, passing the tickets back. "We're just waiting out here for people to clear out." He said, tapping his foot a few times.

It was a somewhat awkward silence that Chen was hoping Cami would fill, as she usually would, but nothing happened. Cami seemed to be trapped by simply the presence of the guard.

Chen was about to open her mouth in attempt to start conversation, but the phone in her back pocket suddenly buzzed.
