A/N: Hey guys, again! Hope you've enjoyed the last few chapters. I'm trying my best to update as fast as I can, I would love some feedback to encourage me to finish this story! This chapter we see more interaction between MewGulf and Jen as they all get to know each other. Again, if anyone has any ideas as to what should happen in the future, please let me know! Happy reading :))

Mew made his way towards the gate; his friends leading the way while he said goodbye to the fans on his Instagram live.

"I'll say goodbye now. I'm heading into the venue, I'll tweet later na. Goodbye everyone." He gave a wave to the camera before putting his phone into his pocket to search for the ticket.

Fans filled the entire hall, he couldn't see one single seat unoccupied. He was so excited for the show he could hardly believe he was actually getting to see them. He had been a fan of REDSAID for a few years now but this was the first time they had toured to Thailand while he was a fan; they mostly did international concerts. They were so popular overseas. The screens by the stage were so huge that everyone could see them, even the ones far in the back. They were lucky enough to get seats closer to the stage with a great view. A wave of screams erupted around the hall, when Mew looked up the screens had began to show a commercial that starred Yi Jen. She was so beautiful, Mew thought. He always had a soft spot for Yi Jen but his real bias was Choi Jisoo. He had seen a beauty commercial of her before and thus started his love for the band. She was his ideal girl.

"Can you actually believe we're here?" Mew's friend murmured beside him.

"I can't believe it! Kim Sun is going to be in front of me!" Another let out a squeal.

Over the years, the more popular the band became, more of Mew's friends fell in love with them. At first he was territorial but then slowly accepted that there was going to be a lot of people who supported the band.

The lights dimmed. The crowd roared sending the hall into mayhem. More screens propelled down onto the stage. The set was decorated with iron bars, lights around the stage flicked on showing different neon colours. All the screens synced up showing a video of a young girl, everyone knew who she was. 

They had been working very closely over the years to garner attention towards climate change. The video began showing different scenes around the world, with the young girl talking over it about how important it was to save the world and do your part. Mew didn't realise his hands were shaking, he was so excited. They had it all, he thought, singing, dancing, instruments. Amongst the darkness on stage, he could make out a figure stalking towards the drum set, Kim Sun. Mew's friend screamed and flashed her light stick. Apparently everyone else could see too. 

The video continued to play but there was no way of making out what was being said. Another figure walked towards the far side of the stage; Min Jun. If it were possible, the crowd grew even louder. Mew's heart began to pound as a familiar, slender figure flowed across the stage to the closer side, followed shortly after by another familiar tall shadow that took centre stage. The video came to an end and the crowd went into pandemonium. The screens lifted back up to their original place. A light shown onto the stage and the members came into full sight. Each member stood at their place on the stage each with their instruments, and fists in the air. Kim Sun behind the drums, Min Jun on guitar, Choi Jisoo on bass and Yi Jen centre stage standing by a keyboard. With a bang from Kim Sun on the drums, the first song was underway. The familiar beat echoed through the hall and Mew's eardrums. 

The crowd jumped to the beat matching the screams.  As he looked around the stage, he noticed how different they all looked in person, even more breath-taking, he thought. They were all wearing a different coloured suit; Jun with bright yellow, from what he could make out Sun was in purple, Jisoo had pink and Jen with white. 

Jen began to sing centre stage with her custom-made white, diamond mic. Even from the offset her vocals bellowed around the concert hall with such ease. He had always been taken with her vocals; how she managed to sing so beautifully yet so powerful with each word. Jisoo bopped along to the song playing bass. Her smile sent a warm feeling through Mew's heart. Her pink hair waving through the air to match her suit. Mew's gaze couldn't help but drift back towards centre stage. 

Yi Jen stood proudly, both hands on the mic stand, she seemed so in love with the words she was singing. Her honey toned hair flowed down both sides of her face and down her back. The screens showed her warm features, blush on both cheeks accompanied with glitter. She really looked like an angel. Mew stood the rest of the show, never breaking eye contact with Yi Jen. Her high notes sent shivers down his spine and when the band walked down the runway stage, through the main crowd to dance, he got a closer look. He was even sure she had made eye contact with him as she walked passed, just for a split second. Yi Jen did most of the talking in Thai, he was aware that she grew up in Thailand for the most part; being trilingual showed how smart she was and Mew fell for it. 

During their solo stages, they showed different parts of their being. Kim Sun showed off his drumming techniques, the female crowd went wild for it. Jun and Jisoo collaborated in a traditional Korean dance that was so beautiful the whole crowd was silent right up until the last beat. Yi Jen rose up to the stage from the lift. The crowd awed in response to the beauty in front of them. The red, satin-wrapped figure walked out into the spotlight. With every beat her figure met, the strips of clothe were thrown out into the air. The figures face hidden underneath a white moulded mask. Mew was so starstruck by the act, he could feel the tension with each move, the conflict that was being portrayed. The music grew quieter and the figure coiled, crawling backward out of the spotlight, revealing the face under the mask in the dark.
