Until Dusk | Siyoo

chp 1 | the ending stage

This was it. The final performance of the 'Dreamcatcher World Tour.' The bright spotlights blinding Yoohyeon's chocolate, puppy eyes. Despite the burn of the lights rays, it brought nostalgia. Her earpiece starts to buzz as the soothing beat of "Dear"
began.

Glancing over at her members seeing the tears welled-up in their eyes, about to burst at any moment. A small smile is brought upon Yoohyeon's face. She admires how cute her members become at sentimental moments. But mostly was smiling to stop herself from crying with them. The maknae then raises the microphone to her coral lips to begin the ballad.

"처음~ 네게 사랑해라 말할 때
그 말이 내겐 어렵게만 느껴졌었는데"

("The first time I told you I love you
It felt so hard for me to say it")

Yoohyeon never liked to show her weak side. Even to JiU or Siyeon, two of the most nurturing members in the group. She always rather handle it herself regardless of the severity. Her feelings often felt bottled up because of this. But she knew that she should always try to stay enthusiastic for her members. Although of course, there were times she had no choice. Just like the current situation.

Yoohyeon's lips couldn't help but tremble as it was her turn to sing. Her voice cracked halfway through her verse as she removed her microphone from her mouth. This caused a mutual 'aww' from the fandom to be heard.

Yoohyeon chuckled at the Insomnias' reaction. She temporarily put her head down in embarrassment. The members all shared a glance at Yoohyeon, then to one another. They smiled affectionately, though Jiu began tearing up even more from locking eyes with her. Everyone had passed Yoohyeon's tears as being understandable and normal. Everyone except Siyeon.

  ~~~~~~~~~ Yoohyeon's POV ~~~~~~~~~
As the ballad was getting close to the bridge, Siyeon held my hand early, probably to comfort me after my mistake. I smiled awkwardly into her piercing, sweet gaze. My smile not from my melancholy state, but from the chemical reaction in my body. My heart fluttered at her touch, surprising even myself. She whispered to me inaudibly causing a puzzled expression to my face. At attempt to understand, I try to read her lips.

"괜찮아, 유현이."

(It's ok, Yoohyeonnie.)

She continues to whisper to me despite the large crowd. Unable to hear anything I smile and nod. All of a sudden the music fades in my ears. My eyes locked on Siyeon. My peripheral vision seeming to be nonexistent. Her thumb caressing my slender hand, causing my body to tense up even more. She eventually stops whispering and chuckles at my failed attempts at comprehend her words. She turns her attention toward the crowd as SuA's verse starts.

"언젠가 우리가 떨어져 있어도..."

("Even if someday we are apart...")

Our verse is about to begin as she looks back up at my round, lively eyes. My heart pulsating as if I've been stabbed. I could feel the flush on my cheeks arise despite the countless times we've performed this. I curse playfully in my head from my unwanted reactions. With a gasp of the stadiums air, I receive her gaze intently.

But as I open my mouth, my sight of the stage began to blur. My gaze rest solely on Lee Siyeon. Panic rose within me from the sudden lack of vision. But I couldn't stand to mess up the Insomnias' performance. I had no choice but to hesitate; hoping that the fans would assume it'd be from my previous emotional state. I begin to harmonize with a slightly shaky voice, our eyes still locked onto ones another's.

"아끼는 맘 내 맘 알아주길~"

("I hope you know my heart~")

   ~~~~~~~~~~Author's POV~~~~~~~~~~~
Siyeon showed her teeth smile at Yoohyeon's shaken state. Yoohyeon playfully scrunched her nose at her back. Though her facial expression differing from her racing heart. Siyeon lets go of her hand causing Yoohyeon to loosen her stance more and relax. But at the same time, apart of her wanted to hold Siyeon's warm hand even longer. At her surprise, the final few verses were being sang already. Meaning the concert would end shortly too.

"마주 앉아서 널 보고 있으면~
너의 눈빛에~ 음 난 녹아내려"

("Sitting face to face and looking at you~
Well, I melt~ in your eyes")

More members started to cry from the fans' sympathetic gazes towards them. Siyeon had switched her attention toward Bora. Siyeon's eyes began to water as Bora held her hand tightly. A pain within Yoohyeon's abdomen arose from the sight. Nevertheless, she glances away back at the fans. Her lips hesitantly curving to a slight smile.

And with that, the instrumental ended as they all stood up with a bow. Dreamcatcher began to recite their speeches to the fans. Yoohyeon's mind wandered elsewhere. No longer was her heart aching solely from the performance.
