Today was our special stage. Yesterday we already had a whole group showcase of our title song, Dont wanna cry and we did great. Our new album has already been a hit after being out for only 2 days. All of us were very happy with the success of the album and that carats love our album.

We were on the van to the showcase. Some were sleeping, some using their phone, but I was staring out into space. 

"Soons..."

"Yes ji?"

I had listened to dk and talked it out with him. So we were back to before, or at least more comfortable with talking to each other.

"Please be careful up there..."

"I'll be fine ji, don't worry yourself so much. All 4 of us will be fine kay?"

"I can't help worrying you know. You are always so clumsy. And what what if..." He said while snuggling into me.

I bopped his nose.

"Worry about yourself first... You don't even take care of yourself. We will be fine."

He snuggled deeper into my side.

"Sleepy?"

He nodded.

"Then sleep. We still have around half an hour before we reach."

~~~

"Ji! we are here."

"mmm let me sleep longer." He whined, not wanting to stand up.

I chuckled at the sight but I knew I had to be firm.

"We have a stage come on."

I dragged a groaning jihoon to the dressing room. We changed into our attires before sitting down on the chairs to let our makeup artist help us do our makeup and do up our hair.

I still had 15 mins left. I whipped out my phone from my bag. There were no messages except one from the contact named 'lil bro'

Hey Hyung... How's being an idol? Please don't perform on 24 April. Something bad is going to happen. Please don't perform so you won't get hurt... Ask the other members to not perform the special stage too. I'm sorry for not contacting you for so long. Hope to see you soon.

How did I not see this? It was sent out 3 days ago. Why is he asking me to not perform. No. I will still perform, I cannot let my fans be disappointed because of such a statement by my little brother. Although I did not doubt him, I also didn't want to listen.

Hey muel, being an idol has been fun! Sorry for not contacting you sooner too.

How has school and everything else been?

I'm sorry but I'm still going to perform. See you soon.

"Performance team members, you are up in 5. Please come now we need to transport you to the platform. The rest of you, stand by in 5."

The 4 of us ran to the side of the stage, in the shadows and got onto our own 'crane' before getting brought up to the platforms. As we were brought up, I saw all the fans down there, waving their carat bongs in the air. This sight made a warm feeling course through my body. I need to do my best for our carats! 

The 4 of us were wearing singlets with a jacket and ripped jeans. I wrapped the red cloth around my torso, leaving a bit hanging off the platform for smoother transition

The music started with the special intro we came out with for the special stage. I listened to the beat. 3, 2, 1. The 4 of us jump-rolled off the tiny platform, the red cloth tumbling with us.

Suddenly I heard the sound of shredding fabric and before long, the cloth above me shred into 2 and I could only look on in horror. I did not even have time to break my fall as I fell, hard, onto the stage.

I could only think about two things. One. I should have listened to my brother. Two. Jihoon.

Hyung! 

I could hear shouts as 12 blurry faces appeared in front of me. I could feel liquid flowing out through the back of my head, while smelling a weird metallic smell. Blood. I'm losing blood. I slowly felt myself losing consciousness.

I saw a tiny figure crouch down next to me and took of his jacket, wrapping it around my head as a makeshift bandage and putting pressure on it to try and lessen the bleeding.

"Stay with us. Stay with us."

"I-I'm s-sorry......." Was all I managed to mutter out before all became black.
