The busking started smoothly, and SeoulHeart introduced the event from the stage. I took the lead and did most of the talking (as a leader does) and we introduced ourselves as a group for the first time. 

"Mind! Body! Soul! Heart! Annyeonghaseyo, SeoulHeart imnida!" 

Then I started the introduction line with, "Annyeong, I'm SeoulHeart's leader and main rapper, (y/n)!" 

As the members introduced themselves, I scanned the crowd, which turned out to be pretty solid. A whole range of ages and an even mix of genders. I took over talking after Arrow said her introduction, and told everyone about all three groups that were performing (with help from the other members of course). 

After introducing, we went offstage and let MAS perform their section. Hanging out with the RBW Boyz was pretty fun, and we didn't fool around too much, as to give respect to MAS. 

Somehow Youngjo and I ended up next to each other, and he kept doing little things to get my attention. Of course, it worked, but I tried my best to keep it professional. When he had picked at my bracelet enough, I grabbed his hand to keep it still. Then I noticed a fan look over and I dropped it fast, trying to not attract attention like the CEO had said. Youngjo made a sound of disapproval but stopped when he noticed why.

Then it was our turn to perform, the new girl group in the middle of the two experienced boy groups. Smiling at the RBW Boyz, we climbed up the stairs and helped MAS off, setting up the clean slate for us to perform on. A few people moved around and let a group of girls and guys up to the front, apparently fans of us. They cheered as we set up for our first song.

Our set went well and we got to the last song, one of our own, which included my stunt. I went carefully to the back of the stage and positioned myself at the perfect spot. The girls cleared and I launched into the cartwheel. 

As I went into the split, I felt my wrist hit the ground. 

Backward. 

Moving it to look like I landed correctly, I kept a smile on my face, as we needed to keep in character as we ended. As the crowd cheered, I looked around and was super happy at the enjoyment of the crowd. Getting up with my opposing hand, I bowed with the group and ran backstage. Heading over to the staff, I heard someone run up behind me. "I saw what happened, are you okay?" Youngjo asked, touching my shoulder to catch my attention. I turned around halfway to seeing him and Dongju looking at me. Tears were brimming in my eyes from the pain, but I tried to smile it off. Youngjo took my face in his hands and brushed the liquid away, hearing Dongmyeong calling over the nearest staff member.

When ice appeared, I pushed Youngjo away and talked to the boys, "you've gotta go perform, don't worry about me okay?" He nodded solemnly and looked over his shoulder at the rest of the RBW Boyz who were waiting to go onstage. Youngjo gave me a quick hug, followed by one from Dongju, who gave me a 'fighting' and they ran onto the stage. Smiling as they left, I focused back on my wrist which now had been put on ice. 

As the RBW Boyz started up their set of songs, I watched from the side with Dongmyeong, waiting for the staff to grab a bandage from the van. I noticed that Dongju kept looking over at me, trying to see if I was okay. When we locked eyes once while Leedo was announcing the next song, I shook my head and mouthed, "focus" and he nodded, turning back to the crowd with the confident smile he was supposed to be showing. It made me happy to see his little smile, even though it was forced. It was something that had gotten me through a lot of hard times in the past. As the boys launched their last song, English Girl, I got up and went over to the van where the bandage had been found. Giving back the ice, my wrist was wrapped up and I jogged back out to my girls, who were waiting to go on stage for the final bows. 

Climbing the stairs with MAS, Dongmyeong immediately came to my side again. I took his hand with my uninjured one and we bowed together, Takara flanking my other side. The crowd cheered and we smiled, gathering together as all three groups in a little huddle, the three leaders in the middle. We put our hands in the middle and gave a little shout to the successful stages.
