"Hyejin on standby!"The staff announced.It had been like this.And just after watching Seventeen's enthusiastic and lively performance,Hyejin felt more at ease.If her brother and his friends could show their fans their performance with such passion and emotion.She sure hoped she could do the same thing.It hadn'r been long since her last stage anyways.What was switching companies going to do?
She fidgeted with the microphone near her lip and adjusted it before pushing the in ear-piece securely into her ears.
"Your up."the staff smiled politely at her.
And just as rehearsed earlier that day,the lights were dimmed and only a single spotlight shone on the stool she would be sitting on along with dimmed colored lights in the background.
She breathed in and waved at the crowd upon sitting on the blue stool.She smiled and once the song started to play,she swayed gently from side to side along with the song.
She sung every word with emotion,pouring what she felt in that moment through the song.A song she wrote to thank her fans for waiting patiently for her comeback from a different company.For supporting her through every step.
She wrote the song with the intention of not just thanking her fans.But thanking those that had been with her from the very start.Her parents.Friends and her brother.She spotted a few fans singing along to the song and waving the previous lights stick in the air.
The previous light stick had a white handle with golden swirls creeping up the handle before swirling around a translucent black sphere and inside,a spherical orb-or light bulb that would typically light up a bright gold or would blink golden or multicolored.
She knew the current light stick she and Pledis were currently in works of designing would lean towards the original light stick just a little more elegant and beautiful.
She finished the song off before the lights dimmed leaving the room in pitch darkness.The stool was dragged off and within a few seconds,she and the backup dancers were positioned to start the song.
———
She sat on the floor panting heavily in the same position as last time.With her knees against her chest and her hand placed gently on her forehead and the other with her palms on the floor.
She stood up and bowed to the crowd who were cheering.She heard her name being shouted and she laughed.
"Thank you."she said,bowing once more before re-entering the backstage.
She was handed a water bottle and she took it from the staff with a kind smile.She unscrewed the blue lid and drank the refreshing and hydrating water that satisfied her thirst.
Seventeen greeted her with compliments and hugs.
"You did great,Hyejin.The amount of emotion put into the song and lyrics gave me goosebumps.And the dance.Your passion for dance could be felt all the way backstage."Hoshi grinned giving her thumbs up.
"That was wonderful,noona."Minghao-or The8 smiled.
She felt the warmth of a hand rest on her shoulder.
"You did great out there,Hyejin.I can't believe this my first time watching you perform.Now I feel bad for missing the other performances back in Daegu."Seungcheol said with a smile.
"Thanks,oppa."she smiled,giving him a side hug.
"Goodjob,Hyejin."
She turned around as did Seventeen,finding Bangtan standing there still in their outfits from earlier on and congratulatory smiles.Hyejin bowed.
