I stood behind the curtain.
I was nervous as fuck.
Jin and Jimin has performed. Now there were only two performances left. Mine and Taehyung's, and then all of the boys and they're "special person" as they call it.
They had gone to the front of the stage, and sat with the crowd. I was the only one in the back besides the staff.
Taehyung failed to show up for some time. I wondered where he was.
    Did he plan on not showing up? Was this an additional part to his revenge? Would he never look me in the eye again?
    What if he completely left me?
    What would I do? How would I react?
    I felt the tears sting my eyes and I quickly blinked to make them disappear.
I pulled out my phone and texted him numerous times. He never responded.
The announcer began to speak.
"We have our next to final performance! A duet, to be specific!..."
"Damn it, Tae... where are you?"
    I felt a panic attack coming along. I couldn't start that now. Not when we were about to walk on stage... or perhaps not when I was about to walk on stage.
Suddenly I heard the door open, and I felt my heart skyrocket as I turned around to find the missing boy leaning against the pale wall and staring at me with an emotionless expression.

"I'm sorry I'm late." He said quietly.
    "Seriously?" I said, glaring at him. "You had me frightened! Geez, be on time."
    He shrugged and walked up next to me. I tried to ignore his cologne and pretended he was just a random person next to me. My heart was beating faster than I could blink.
    He was handed a microphone and then sighed. We stared at the ground as the announcer finally called our names.
    "Now, I present to you, Kim Taehyung and Min Mei!" The crowd went wild as we stepped up on stage silently.
    I was nervous.
    What if he didn't catch on to the tune in time? Why didn't I send him anything? What if we screw up?
    I shook my head and the audience went silent. I glanced at Taehyung, and found that he was already staring at me. The music started.
    He rose the mic and sang first.
