Dowoon walked out the house, along with his band mates, and headed to their group car. Their mini gig was to be for an outdoor wedding, the couple said that they heard the music and was excited to see it be played for them. It was an honor to be doing such a thing at a wedding, but they are only able to play one song as the couple was fortunate enough to afford multiple people to preform.

Lucky bastards.

Congratulations though 👏.

The drummer was nervous of how the performance would turn out, the last group practice was amazing, but things could always go wrong during a live show.

"Oh man! You cheated, Brian!"

"Keep it down, Jae, he's right here." Sungjin said, Jae and Younghyun were playing goldfish and the bassist seemed to have won two times in a row. Such a winning streak was seen as unacceptable to Jae.

Dowoon looked away from the trio and over at Wonpil, this would be his first on stage performance since middle school. It was worrying, unsure if Wonpil would have stage fright from being away from the crowd in so long. Though, the pianist didn't look nearly as nervous as Dowoon had thought. In fact, he looked really confident and excited.

"Dowoon, don't get me wrong, I may look calm, but I'm a little scared." Wonpil said, meeting Dowoon's gaze.

Caught in the act of staring, Dowoon turned away quickly and then back, remembering that he confessed of his moving on from this years long crush. "U-uh...it'll be fine, I heard that the weather and wind is perfect today so nothing could go wrong rain wise."  He said slightly awkward.

"There's really no need to act so weird around me...actually, I have something to confess. Promise you won't grow distant from me." Wonpil said with sudden confidence. If I don't get this off my chest, my feelings will never change, he thought.

"I promise."

Wonpil took a breather before looking into Dowoon's eyes. "I like you, even though you said you moved on, I still like you. But, that's okay, these feelings will leave me soon so there's not really much I could do about it. Is that okay?"

Dowoon couldn't believe it, the tables had turned so suddenly. But he really had moved on, his heart isn't beating as fast as it would normally with Wonpil around and he isn't having those butterflies he'd usually have. He smiled and rubbed Wonpil's head, "Yeah, that's fine, still friends though, right?"

"Of course!"

They arrived at the wedding, the theme was green and white so obviously the balloons were that color. The instruments were already set on stage seeing as they were the first performers. The vows had only just finished and the couple were kissing and cheers were heard.

The group got ready with their instruments and smiled at the crowd, they were well known in the area so few of the people here were fans. Dowoon started the count of three with his sticks and the song began.

Dowoon made sure to smile and check all his friends out, but a sudden crash of keys caused him to break out of concentration. He saw Wonpil's keyboard was few inches lower than what was originally set to be. He was a little worried seeing as they were only few seconds from the chorus, Wonpil's first lines. He saw the way Wonpil sang into the mic uncomfortably, the incident being unnoticed by the others.

Suddenly, a guy from another band hurried over and fixed the mic after Wonpil's part was over. Dowoon let out a breath he was holding in relief. Everything else went by fast and smooth and soon enough, they were enjoying the desserts at the table.

"This cupcake is delicious!" Dowoon said with a chuckle.

Wonpil nodded and smiled brightly, "Well duh, these are from my shop, of course it's delicious."

"So you telling me you're getting paid extra money?!" Jae yelled in shock. Sungjin gave him another lecture before Wonpil continued.

"Yes and no, the money I'm eating here are going straight to the shop, so I'm not really gaining much from this other than experience."

"That's amazing, thinking of expanding soon?" Sungjin asked out of genuine curiosity. He had noticed how Wonpil's business was going so well, but the shop was so small. Even if he doesn't expand the building, maybe he can open a second one soon.

"Maybe, I still need more employees before that though."

Younghyun looked at Jae and Sungjin and they all nodded, "Then we'll join you, it wouldn't be right for us to decline your offer when you accepted ours."

Wonpil was beyond happy, finally some extra help, "Thank you, really, thank you so much!"

"Group hug?" Jae said standing up with open arms.

"Group hug!" They all replied, joining Jae with laughter.
