Lacey felt refreshed after the music ended and was surprised to find herself craving more. She inched out of the booth and headed back to the backstage area to meet all of the boys. She was feeling more of herself to greet everyone (minus her disgusting brother) with a hug as she congratulated them on an amazing performance.

She pulled the four guys, she wasn't related to, off to the side while Jae ran to the restroom. "Just wanted to say you guys were actually really good, and I genuinely feel bad for missing all your shows cause you're just really amazing and inspirational." Lacey said while beaming. "Of course I had to wait till Jae left cause- oh my god if he heard that."

All the guys agreed with varied laughter. "He would float away." Dowoon added with a cute giggle.

"Exactly. We'd have to detangle him out of a tree." Wonpil added, nudging Dowoon.

Wrapping his arm over Lacey's shoulders, Sungjin added, "see aren't you glad you came out of your little cave tonight?"

Smiling Lacey shrugged, her cheeks turning pink from the amount of attention. "Just a bit," she giggled.

"Aww how cute!" Brian teased as he pinched her cheek.

Much to her surprise and his, Lacey replied with a giggle as she hid her face behind her hands. At a moments notice, however, she shook out her hands and fought back her grin as she said, "I hear a prince coming back." At that statement the small group scattered and Jae re-entered the room.

"Not to brag or anything, but we did like really good." Jae said confidently as he sat down on the worn leather coach, beside his guitar.

Laughing, Dowoon replied, "how is that bragging? It was a team effort."

"True." Jae replied.

Looking out at the more busy bar Wonpil reported back, "Dowoon you have fans."

"No! Why me!" He whined as he looked at the two girls standing by the drum set laughing and talking.

Jae came over to the younger boy and wrapped his arm over his shoulders. "Dude, chics are drawn to drummers like bugs are to light. You will never escape it."

Joining in on the harassment, Brian added. "Tis your destiny our young one."

"To drown in babes every night!" Wonpil added as he clapped Dowoon on the back.

Fidgeting with his drumsticks anxiously, Dowoon looked for an escape. "I don't want to play drums anymore! Can I just play the cowbell!? No one cares about cowbells? Or piano, everyone plays piano!" To that Wonpil gave an audible growl that reminded Lacey of a chihuahua.

Eyeing his little sister, Jae stroked his imaginary beard. "Or... you could pretend our little imp of darkness over there is your girl and then they'll leave you alone. You won't even have to talk to them. Go down to the bar, get Lacey a drink, and walk back stage with her."

Brian frowned, "Jae, he's girl shy he won't do that." Suddenly his teasing mode had been shut down.

"Nah man! It's simple. Just make sure to walk close to her and she can like touch your arm or something." Jae added, looking proud of his evil plan.

Dowoon frowned as he seemed to contemplate his two options and which was worse. He looked out at the bar as if calculating the risk of walking out to the bar. Turning around and almost visibly swallowing his pride, he walked up to Lacey and nearly whispered. "What drink do you want?"
