Chapter 18

After our fabulous cruise, we did the concerts strongly, finally concluding the USA part of the tour.

"Alright we got Canada and then we get a break," I declared.

Taehyung scoffed, "You get a break, but Sora, the dancers, and I have to prepare for the year end shows."

"Excuse you, I'll be there for half of them remember. I'm splitting up the time between being in the states and in Korea. But...I don't have to do any of the work," I winked.

The playful banter went on and on until we finally boarded the plane to Vancouver.

On our Canada leg, we were going to Vancouver, Toronto, Montreal, and finishing in Quebec.

"Well, see you guys in Canada," I hummed, before closing my eyes and drifting off to sleep.

Time Skip

After an agonizing eight and a half hours we arrived in Vancouver.

It was pretty chilly when we stepped outside so we all threw on some coats. Then again it was like two in the morning when we arrived.

We all headed to the hotel to rest a bit more, but since I had slept the whole flight, I was actually wide awake.

The hotel we were in offered twenty-four seven room service so I decided to sink my teeth into some delicacies.

After that I watched some shows and was practically up the whole night before I finally got ready and headed to the concert venue.

I started setting up, everything going smoothly and giving me some downtime once the main things were done.

I turned on my computer and sent a bunch of emails out to the other venues we were going to in Canada, as well as yet another 'how-to' email from my boss and answering a few questions of my colleagues in lower positions.

I was floating around to make sure everything was going according to plan when someone tapped me on the shoulder.

"Excuse me? I have a question for you," I turned to see one of the staff members looking at me timidly.

"Yeah sure what's up?"

She lowered her voice, looking at me intently, "I used to be a fan of ZS way back when. I was a huge fan of Sierra and was heartbroken when she left. You look a lot like her but way more mature. Is it perhaps..."

I felt insane panic bubble over in my chest. My palms started to get sweaty and my heart starting racing.

"Uhh..."

"Well?"

I looked at the girl. She was curious, had an innocent look on her face, and seemed genuine.

I sighed, "Yeah that's me but don't tell anyone."

She screeched, wrapping me in a big hug.

"You were like my hero when I was going through a rough time. Because while you were going through a rough time, you managed to stay strong and it was always about the music for you," she hugged me tightly.

"Ah I'm happy to hear that. But you have to promise me not to tell anyone about me okay. I'm Soorim the stage manager," I whispered.

She nodded, "For sure. But one more question, are you going to ever go back to the music scene?"

I considered her question sadly, "I'm not sure. But I'll definitely consider it if there's more people like you out there. I don't know how much of what I experienced before, I can take."
