CIGARETTE SMOKE -Eom Seonghyeon
masterlist chapter 5
6. Louis does know
social media + written
The lights started dimming for the first time in over two hours. The arena was erupting with screams and applause as the members stepped forward for their encore, waving at fans on every corner of the venue, some shouting so loud it got picked from the microphones.
“you know” Jihyeon leaned closer to your ear “I kind of get the hype now”
You laugh, still clapping “Yeah, Louis sometimes does know stuffs”
The final song began, phone flashlight started lit up the whole venue like tiny little star, swaying as thousands of voices sand together. You found yourself smiling without noticing; you had expected to enjoy the concert, what you hadn’t expected was for it to be so fun.
When the song came to an end, the last note faded while the confetti exploded over the stage and the boys took one last bow before disappearing backstage one by one.
The lights slowly came back on and people started gathering their belongings and moving toward the exit.
“man this was so fun, we should do it more often”
Just as you were about to get up a man in his fourties approached you, walkie talkie in one hand, written paper on the other.
“excuse me”
You looked up at him, he had staff written on his shirt.
“Are you miss Y/N S/N?”
For a split second you wondered if you had heard him correctly
“…Yes?”
He glanced down at whatever he had written down and nodded once.
“if you don’t mind waiting until the venue clears, could you and your friend meet me at Gate c? it’s just outside section 112”
You frowned, confused as to what was happening
“sorry?”
“gate c” he pointed toward one of the exits as if it was normal to know it.
“I’ll be waiting there”
Before either of you could ask any question he offered a small bow
“thank you”
You were left speechless as you turned to Jihyeon, hoping she had understood anything
"Don’t even try and ask me, I genuinely have no idea what the fuck just happened”
I shake my head laughing as I check my phone to see if I had received any notice as to what was happening.
“Did Seonghyeon accidentally set something else on fire?”
I stay silent for a second before slowly turning to the girl next to me
“what?”
She shrugs, as if it was the most normal question ever asked
“I’m trying to reason why a staff member would know your name”
I ponder on it for sometime, biting the inside of my cheek
“what if they got the wrong person?”
“he said your name”
“yeah but maybe there are two Y/N’s?...”
Jihyeon looks at me with frowned brows before chuckling
“he said your surname as well, and you had 2 artist passes under your name so”
I sigh nodding “good point”
By the time the venue had cleared curiosity had won. You walked to gate c, noticing it was one of the furthest from the entrances, noticibily quitter than the rest of the venue.
The same staff member as before was indeed waiting there, he spotted you immediately when you reached him.
“thank you for waiting”
He gave another bow, turning around without giving you time
“please follow me”
You exchanged confused looks with jihyeon before falling into steps behind him, too awkward to even speak between each other.
The route grew quitter with every turn, the music from the arena fading in the background, the fans going back home now completely dispersed outside or already on the metro.
You passed dressing rooms, storage areas, people wearing lanyards that hurriedly walked past you without sparing you a glance.
The girl next to you leaned closer as she said the first words in minutes
“I feel like we’re somewhere we definitely shouldn’t be”
You nod, about to say something but stopping once the man halted his steps In front of of a plain grey door.
He knocked twice, a muffled voice answered from inside
“come in”
The staff member opened the door before stepping aside
“they’re here”
Your eyebrows knit together “they’re…?”
Before either of you could process the question, a familiar voice called from somewhere inside the room.
“Oh, they actually came”
Seonghyeon smiled.
