Kris’ Point of View:
That day, we were in the backstage after concluding our Tokyo concert.
Yixing bowed to every staff whether they are acquaints or not; Chanyeol was laughing with his husky loud voice, picking at the golden confetti from his head onto my hair, Luhan and Sehun were already discussing a new mobile game; Jongin gave Baekhyun a triangular box neatly wrapped, the latter hugged Jongin smiling and skipping upon opening the box, holding a eyeliner.
“Leader, I slipped a little when I performing martial arts, they couldn’t notice could they?” Tao said worryingly.
“They couldn’t, don’t worry.” Luhan interrupted, not minding the game. “There were so many people, so chaotic, no one could have seen you”
“I am very tall and noticeable alright.” Tao pointed at his own nose.
“Fine, you’re the tallest” Yixing came around patted his shoulder, then pulled my arm and whispered to my ear, “I just saw Boss who didn’t have his pant’s zipper done properly.”
Baekhyun hopped his way to Chanyeol, Chanyeol grabbed him from behind, Jongin squatted down and picked Baekhyun up from his knees, walked around holding Baekhyun while the said person protested noisily. Chanyeol followed after them hitting Baekhyun’s butt and laughing away delightfully.
Under the backstage lights, everyone’s styled-up faces were slightly reddened, slightly sweating. However, I could tell that everyone was very happy; probably just like what I thought, that day they also think, we really had become popular. I turned around to see the splendid stage under the lights, mixed with golden confetti floating in the sky with the drizzle, I wondered if this could count as a termination in life.
“Let’s take a photo together” Suho suggested.
“Let’s go!” It’s always Chanyeol who’d echoed along first, he pulled Baekhyun, Jongin and Kyungsoo to stand at the edge of the stage, Luhan also dragged Sehun who’s still playing games to walk over, Tao ran over to call Jongdae and Xiumin. I walked over slowly draping over Yixing’s shoulder.
I thought that was a road that would never end, but I became alone inadvertently.
The place beside my shoulder is emptied, the person, those people, whom you have been walking with, when they would walk of your life, you woud never know.
Never doubt, the best moment of your life you were experiencing.
You just don’t know it.
---- The End.
