Chapter 35

Stuff is going down😬

Yes I chickened out, I know. But it didn't seem right to ruin our last city in the Asia tour with a request like that.

So yes, we got through the Bangkok concerts without me telling Taehyung about he and Sora needing to break up.

We boarded our flight to Melbourne, Australia without a hitch. But when we had settled in, Sora came over to me.

"S, have you told him yet?" She asked.

"Not yet. It didn't feel right. I promise I'll tell him once the Melbourne concerts are over," I said.

"Please hurry. It's really hard to fight off whatever is happening to me," she begged.

"I'll try Sora, I promise."

She nodding, turning to go back to her seat. But just before she could I grabbed her wrist.

"Z, thank you for trying to fight it off."

Her expression softened a bit and she gave my hand an awkward pat.

"Healing, right?"

I nodded, giving a soft smile.

Healing. What a great word.

Four Days Later

After arriving in Australia, we had wonderful concerts.

Today was the last concert in Melbourne and also the day I told Taehyung to break up with Sora.

I was in my outfit for the dancer stage, waiting quietly from my stage manager spot so I could monitor everything.

Sora sidled up to me, "You ready?"

"No. But I have to be," I sighed.

"Again, thanks. I think this will work out," she hummed.

I hope so.

Taehyung and Sora got on stage for their first round of songs, singing and dancing as if nothing was wrong.

But when I watched them perform, I noticed a look in both of their eyes. He was watching her with uncertainty and she was watching him with dullness.

This had been going on since the Tokyo incident, but no one could really tell unless you looked hard enough. But their whole dynamic was not flowing today.

Every hug and kiss seemed so fake.

Maybe Sora had fought back harder than she should've.

And so the concert progressed as normal with the two of them switching between solo stages and duets. Soon enough it was time for the dancer segment.

I fixed the in-ear into my ear, a metronome tick blocking out the sounds of the fans.

As I begun the dance I felt my thoughts continuously drift back to what I had to do. The thing about me was that I had really great muscle memory, so my body was able to move on its own to the dance while my mind wandered off.

I could fool everyone except Jungkook. He could see the distant look in my eyes. And when our eyes met he looked at me worriedly.

I gave a small smile to assure him that I was okay. Luckily I got through the routine without problems. But it stressed me out because with every finished performance meant that the time was drawing closer.

Before I knew it Sora and Taehyung had finished their last song and we had all taken our bows.

As we were heading back, Sora caught my arm.
