"Hello everyone!!
Welcome to our festival!
Are you excited?
Well for this festival, we'll have my members perform.
Starting off with our sassy little sun.
HAECHAN!!"
Everyone cheered as Haechan came up on the stage with a big smile on his face.

"Hey hey hey!
Y'all better give some big and loud cheers as I will sing our all time favorite song.
MY song.
'Love song'!!"
Haechan shouted as the cheers came in.

The festival went really well.
Everyone watching, cheering and clapping every time a performer came in and out.
Jaemin and Heather cheering from the crowds as well.
Holding hands.
Laughing together.
Renjun watched them from the backstage.
Hugging his painted guitar.

"Now for our last performer be ready for our cute little fox!
RENJUN!!"

As Doyoung said that name Jaemin looked up and saw a nervous Renjun, holding his guitar tightly.

"Hello everyone.
I'll play a song made by me.
It's a bit sad so sorry for someone who expected an excited song just like everyone's.
It's called..
'Heather'."
Jaemin cocked his head to the side confused as to why he named the song Heather.

'Does he also like Heather?'
Jaemin thought.

Renjun took a deep breath, fixed the microphone and sat down.
He strumed the guitar softly.
And the lyrics came in.

"I still remember.
3rd of December,
Me in your sweater,
You said it look better on me than it did you."

Jaemin also remembered it clearly.

"Only if you knew how much I liked you,
But I watch your eyes as she walks by.
What a sight for sore eyes."

Jaemin widened his eyes, he also remembered Renjun saying those words to Heather.

'He likes me..?'

"Brighter than a blue sky,
She's got you mesmerized.
While I die."

'Renjun...'

"Why would you ever kiss me?
I'm not even half as pretty.
You gave her your sweater,
It's just polyester.
But you like her better,
Wish I were Heather..."

'Why am I so stupid?'

"Watch as she stand with her holding your hands,
Put your arms 'round her shoulder,
Now I'm getting colder."

'I should've known sooner...'

"But how could I hate her?
She's such an angel.
But then again, kinda wish she were dead."

'I'm sorry...'

"As she walk by,
What a sight for sore eyes,
What a sight for sore eyes...
Brighter than a blue sky,
Brighter than a blue sky...
She's got you mesmerized,
She's got me mesmerized...
While I die...
While you die...

Jaemin repeated.

"Why would you ever kiss me?
I'm not even half as pretty,
You gave her your sweater
It's just polyester,
but you like her better
I Wish I were Heather."

Renjun screamed.
Not the ones you hear in horror.
It's a beautiful one.
He used this opportunity to let all the pain be known.
By using a scream.
Using a tone.
Pain filled the scream.

"Why would you ever kiss me?
I'm not even half as pretty
You gave her your sweater
It's just polyester,
but you like her better
I wish I were..."

Renjun ended.
Staring at Jaemin.
And at the same time,
A tear came falling down their eyes.
Jaemin wanted to run to him, give him a hug, tell him his very sorry.
But he can't move.
Renjun stood up, then ran away.
Leaving the crowd speechless.
