one month seems like a long time, but when it comes to putting a performance together, it goes by too quick. that was taehyungs favorite part, one moment it's 31 days until night one and then all of sudden it's 31 minutes before showtime and everyone is running around backstage in a panic to make sure it all goes smoothly. that's why they planned so well, so nothing would go wrong and no one would be running around in a panic.
taehyung still enjoyed it. he liked being the one to go on stage and face those screaming faces with staring eyes all on him, and then people behind the safety of a stage feel like they should be the ones feeling nervous. he didn't think much of it, no one knew the difference. maybe if they experienced what it was like to feel those spotlights burning skin and screams so loud it drowns out any other sounds or thoughts — maybe they'd want it too. all it took was a little taste, just a sip of that pretty flavor called attention and soon everyone would want it like a drug.
it's like he could picture it already, all those faces that looked identical when in a crowd, just open mouths screaming and tears falling down cheeks. they adored him — and it made taehyung smirk just thinking about it.
he stood on the stage, the one he would be performing at in a month. they were suppose to be bringing set pieces and equipment over, today wasn't soundcheck day but he still wanted to come and look. taehyung closed his eyes for a moment and tried to imagine it was already showtime, it's been too long since the last show. he's addicted.
"fantasizing?" it was a single word, hard to tell much from few syllables as well as having eyes closed, but taehyung could tell who it was. his electric guitarist was very unique, not quite the personality one would expect to see from a member in a rock band, but the stage always unleashes something in people.
taehyung grinned and turned to his band mate, and friend, giving the slightly shorter male a hug. "i'm always fantasizing, yoongi." he said before separating from the quick hug.
"not too long now." the male said, the two of them standing beside each other and staring out at the sea of empty seats just waiting to be filled and never left. taehyung just nodded but neither spoke after that, it was too nice of a thought and a sight to ruin with words.
taehyung broke it, that deep voice breaking through the fantasy. "did you meet the new members." he had asked his friend, receiving a nod that wasn't surprising. "yeah, at that meetings like a week ago." yoongi said.
when it came to the tour, kim taehyung was the main attraction. he was the star and the prime jewel that had people opening their wallets and spilling cash like it was nothing, but his band meant everything to him. they were just as much a part of the show as he was, literally. there would be no real rock without those guys. it was their energy that gave taehyung his, what had his heart pumping and soul coming alive at the sound of them playing the music they all lived for.
