'just sing' mark thinks. 'it cant be that hard'

so although his heart won't stop beating loudly and his hands won't stop shaking, he sings. it may not have been his best performance, but everyone stared in awe. who would have thought that a skinny, underdressed boy could keep their eyes glued on him for so long?

once he's done, everyone claps quietly. sure it may not have been perfect, but he definitely exceeded their expectations.

"thank you!" he says shakily, and bows. 'i did it' he thinks.

backstage, the boys jump on him, causing commotion. mark tried to calm them down, to no avail. they were all too happy to think about manners. yeah, there were a couple people staring, but who cares? he did it. mark did it.

"hello." a deep voice firmly says from the doorway. they all immediately snap their heads to face the voice, and mark lightly swears. "may i talk to you, mark?"

"y-yea, of course." he stutters, walking over to the man. the rest of them turn around, out of politeness.

"he did it!" jisung whispers to chenle. he squeezes his hand, trying to show his excitement without causing more commotion than they already did. "maybe one day we'll be like him!"

"not maybe." chenle states firmly. "we will. i promise."

"never promise anything." renjun says warily. "you never know what will happen."

"shut the fuck up and drink your juice." jeno shoves a juice box towards him. "you always have to ruin the moment don't you"

hyuck glances over to the man talking to mark, and although he can't see them well he can tell mark is happy, as he's fidgeting with his hands. 'he always does that when he's happy.' he thinks, lightly smiling. 'i hope he'll stay happy'

"hello." another man has appeared. (i hope he's got news for us too, hyuck thinks.) "come with me." and at that he walks away.

all 6 look at each other.
"what the fuck?" jisung says.
"i mean.... we might as well." renjun pipes in.

the man turns around, reaching his hand out expectingly. "well...?" he says.

they look at each other, waiting for one of them to speak up.
jeno shrugs. "let's go."

and at that they leave, leaving mark confused.
