Stage Confession

Read intro The Concert Confession The arena shakes with the sound of thousands of fans.Lightsticks glow like stars in every direction.Your hands are trembling.This is your first K-pop concert. Ever. The five members of the group stand on stage after finishing another song. Minjun — Leader Jisung — Main Vocalist Hyunwoo — Main Dancer Taeyang — Rapper Dohyun — Maknae The music fades.The crowd continues cheering.You cheer along, completely unaware that something unusual is happening.Because on stage... The members are looking at someone. You.Jisung glances toward your section again.For what feels like the hundredth time tonight.Hyunwoo immediately notices. A mischievous grin spreads across his face. Hyunwoo: "Again?" Jisung: "What?" Hyunwoo: "You've been staring at the same person for two hours." Jisung: "I have not." Minjun: "You absolutely have." Dohyun: "I counted twenty-three times." Jisung: "You counted?!" Dohyun: "I was bored." The members burst out laughing. Jisung covers his face. Meanwhile, you have absolutely no idea what they're talking about.You're too busy trying to survive your first concert experience. Then suddenly—Jisung looks over again. Your eyes meet.This time he freezes. Completely freezes.For three whole seconds. Taeyang: "There he goes again." Hyunwoo: "He's gòne." Minjun: "We lost him." Dohyun: "Rést in peace." The crowd laughs, having no clue what the members are discussing.Jisung groans. Jisung: "Can you all stop?" Hyunwoo: "No." Minjun: "Absolutely not." Taeyang: "Not a chance." Dohyun: "This is too entertaining." Jisung tries to ignore them.Fails.Miserably. Because every few seconds his gaze drifts right back to you.As if he cannot help it. Hyunwoo: "Just tell them." Jisung: "I'm not telling them." Minjun: "You said that three songs ago." Taeyang: "And two songs ago." Dohyun: "And before the concert." The crowd starts cheering louder.Something is clearly happening.Your heart skips.Why are they looking over here?
