It was time for one of the last songs in their concert. Their final two songs were Mikrokosmos and Dionysus. It had been an exhausting performance, but Taehyung had managed to enjoy it. It was one of their last shows during this tour and he wanted to savour every minute of it.

"Two minutes left!"
The stylists ran around, trying to get the outfits fitted properly. Taehyung hummed. He got his shirt on quickly. He kept an eye on the others to make sure they were doing the same. They were due on the stage soon and they needed to hurry.
"You guys ready?" Namjoon called.
"Yeah, if I can just get this zipper to work properly..." Jungkook mumbled. The stylist next to him handed him another jacket. There was no time to try and fix the old one. He threw it on and nodded.
The others didn't bother talking as they gathered near the entrance. They were all sweaty and exhausted. The only thing that was on all of their minds was finishing the performance and getting home. Food and sleep were also there, tucked safely in their exhausted minds.
"This is going to be good," Taehyung said with as much energy he could muster. He patted Yoongi on the back.
"Mmhm." Yoongi didn't say much else but a fond smile spread on his face.
Cold air hit all of them as they walked onto the stage. The lights were dark, but the voices of the fans were as loud as ever. They chanted the members names. Taehyung forced a smile onto his face. His body hurt - he couldn't wait to go home and sleep - but while he was here, he was going to be the best performer he could be.
"We can do this!" Hoseok said.
"Yes!"
Taehyung laughed lightly at Jin's enthusiasm.

The stage was magical. For a moment, Taehyung forgot his nervous energy and he tried to enjoy himself. It was true that he wasn't as nervous on stage as he used to be, but he was sometimes still a bit jittery. He wanted everything to go perfectly. Luckily, for this show it was.
He liked Mikrokosmos. Taehyung felt like a lot of the fans liked it too. The lyrics were a bit bittersweet and painful to listen to, but a lot of the international fans couldn't understand the words anyway. Thankfully the Korean fans were there to give them translations and explanations.
The lights were bright. Taehyung's heart was light.
The fans were singing along and waving their lightsticks.
One of the others finished singing their line. Taehyung lifted his mic to his face. The lyrics and melody had been drilled into his head with all the rehearsals and practices. The fans cheered along as he sang. He couldn't hear them, but he could see and sense their excitement.
He finished singing his part. Taehyung spotted a camera coming towards him. He straightened himself out and grinned at the camera. The lightstick-waving got frantic.
But before he could wave back, there was a loud bang and then a sharp stinging pain hit his leg. Taehyung accidentally let out a soft cry. He dropped to the floor. His vision blurred for a second. Hot tears immediately sprang to his eyes.
"Tae?"
Hoseok was at his side, eyes wide with fear. He slapped his hands on Taehyung's leg, exactly where a deep pain was starting to form. There was a warm liquid dripping down his ankle and into his sock and shoe. Taehyung couldn't move his leg at all.
