"Seriously... what really happened to you the other night?"

"I got stomachache."

I said while walking and pushing every person in front of me. I look around. Everyone are happily jumping and dancing. My heart beat very loud every time the vibration of the speaker gon loud too.

"You didn't eat again before performing? How many times did we tell you that you have to eat!? Remember the last time-"

"Enough."

He was shouting so that I can hear him. I put my things on the stage floor and look at him.

"I'm fine! You don't have to worry about me."

I said to Tim. I went up to the stage leaving Tim alone. I look at the crowd before I smile.

"Is everything ready Roe?"

I ask while not looking at him. I heard how he test his mic.

"Yes."

He answered. I tapped the mic. The DJ look at me so I sign to stop the music. He smile at me before he suddenly he stopped playing. I laughed how devastated the people look when the DJ stopped playing.

"Put the damn music back!!"

A lot are shouting and throwing stuffs. I tapped the mic again. They look at me in unison. Everyone gon silent. I look at Tim who was smiling at me. I shrugged my shoulder.

"It's Dead End!!!"

One person shouted and after it a lot of people scream and went near to our stage.

"Grace!!!"

"Tim!!"

I fixed my hair before I nodded to Roe to make him start the beat.

"Enjoy everyone!"

I shouted. The next thing I know the whole place gon loud again. Everyone are jumping and enjoying every second of it. We sing as if tomorrow is the end of all of us. Well we did get the name of our band by that idea.

"Hooooo!"

I look at Tim who was sweating a lot. I smilee looking at him. He always give his best. I was still singing when I grab a towel from my bag at the side of the stage and give it to him.

"Thanks~"

He whispered. I was still singing when he went closer to the audience. He put his mic down while asking a bottle of water. The people gon mad and everyone start running to find some water. I shake my head while looking at him.

"Tim always doing it."

I heard Nate who was standing beside me playing the electric guitar. He keeps doing it. I know he'll give me the water at the end. I tilt my head when someone caught my eyes.

"A full bottle of water! Heyy haha that's only half!"

I heard Tim said but that's not it. A man who was wearing a cap give Tim a bottle of water. It surprised me how he was just crossing his arms after giving it to Tim. He wasn't jumping nor dancing too unlike everyone who are enjoying.

"Thanks dude."

He nodded after Tim patted his shoulder. I can't see his face at all. I look at the crowd again and sing my last verse before Tim take over again.

"Here!"

Tim gave me the bottle of water. I smile while waving my other hand to the crowd before I face my back at them. I walk near Jiyoo who was also playing the bass.

"That was fun."

I said. Ji just ignored me the usual. I just laughed at him. I was about to open the bottle when my hand caught something. When I look at it the thing fall from my hand. I grab the thing on the floor.

"Oh-? It's a ribb-"

I stopped talking when I realize it was a purple ribbon. My eyes grew big and look at the person who was standing below and near the stage. I can't see his face so I step forward a little.

"Who are you?"

I whispered. He didn't move from where he stand even after giving Tim the bottle. He was crossing his arms while looking at my direction. My heart was beating so fast after  some disco lights landed to his face for a second. That was just a tiny bit of lights but when I saw his eyes I know it was him.

"No way."

I blurted out. I stepped back. I put down the bottle. I saw him move. He was kind a stepping forward. He probably know I recognize him now. While I was stepping backward I forgot that Jiyoo was beside me. I accidentally bumped my hand to his guitar and kind a messing him up.

"Yah!"

He shouted. I look at him surprisingly. Some notice us and some don't. Good thing it was Tim's last verse before the lights gone dimmed.

"See you!! Ciao!"

Tim shouted before they turned the spot light off and it was replaced by some disco lights and laser beams.

"Yah! What the hell is wrong with you?!"

Jiyoo shouted. I bow a little and keep saying sorry to him.

"Hey~ what's going on?"

Nate asked. I saw how Jiyoo check his guitar. He never like it if someone touched his instruments.

"Are you okay? Something wrong of your stomach again?"

"No-no i-im fine."

I said and touched my shoulder. Jungkook is here. I look at my shoes. He is here.

"Come on Ji. It's just an accident."

Tim said. I look at the ribbon I am holding. Why is he here? Of all bar he should visit why this one?! The gods are playing on me!

"This isn't you Grace. Noong isang araw ka pa wala sa sarili. Kapag pinagpatuloy mo pa ito maaapektuhan din ang grupo."

Jiyoo said. Napakagat ako ng labi. Tama siya.

"Ji it's just an accident. Don't be like this-"

"Fixed yourself Grace."

Pagkatapos itong sabihin ni Jiyoo ay umalis na ito. Tim's phone ringed. I grab my bag amd fastly put my things. I have to go.

"Grace!"

I was so surprised when Tim went to me. He look so confused at the same in a hurry.

"I have to go. Dad is in the hospital again! I-I have to go."

"Wai-wait! Let me go with you-"

"No! You don't have to. Go straight home. Roe and Nate will give you a ride. I have to go. Bye!"

He patted my head before he hurriedly ran to the exit. I bit my lips and fixed my things.

"Nate won't come at us. He'll go straight to his bar."

Roe helped me fixed the things. I grab my things and we start walking out of the stage. I didn't look around and just hurriedly walk.

"Why the hell are you in a hurry-!"

I look at Roe when he suddenly stopped talking.

"Help!"

Roe shouted. My forehead crease when I saw Janine grabbing his ears.

"Let me borrow Roe!"

I blink twice before I look around. I can't stay here. I'll just go home on my own. So I went straight out of the exit. When I finally get out of the building someone grab my hand and pinned me into the wall.

"What the!-"

I shouted. My breathing gon fast and my eyes grow big when I saw his face in front of me.

"Tatakbo ka na naman."
