"Hello? Earth to Jae?" Jae snapped back to reality as Sungjin waved his hand in front of his face to catch his attention.
"Huh? What were you saying?" He asked.
"I said, Wonpil suggested that we end tonight's set with You Were Beautiful so we're going to make minor adjustments. Is there something wrong?"
"No. I just.. didn't get enough sleep last night." Jae lied.
Well, it's not technically a lie since he barely managed to get a wink of sleep last night. But the main reason was her. She was going to watch them perform for the very first time and whenever Jae thinks about it, his stomach turns.
He has no problem performing in crowds. Although he sucks at class presentations because he is socially awkward af, singing and playing music are some of the very few things he can do confidently in front of many people.
It's the moment where he feels the most free - performing the songs he and Younghyun wrote, trying to convey a message to their listeners through their craft.
But the thought of her watching him sing makes him feel things and Wonpil and Jimin pressuring him on choosing the ‘right’ outfit is not helping at all.
He wanted to wear just his jeans, shirt and flannel like he normally does, but according to them he should look like a ‘snacc’ to impress her, even though he told them countless times that he doesn’t plan to.
“Jae, this is like your first ever encounter with a girl aside from me in like I don’t even know how many years. Let’s not waste this chance!” Jimin says as she goes through his closet.
“Seriously, are hoodies the only clothes you own?!”
Jimin finally settled with a black v-neck tee that Jae hasn’t seen in ages, plus tattered jeans courtesy of Younghyun (which took him like solid 5 minutes to wear cause his feet keeps on going into the wrong holes.)
There’s only two hours left before their gig. In the back of Jae’s head, he’s lowkey hoping she wouldn’t show up and he also wanted to beat up Wonpil for inviting her in the first place.
“You better not let your guard down tonight, hyung.” Dowoon tells him.
“What are you talking about?” He asks.
“Just... her attending our gig means she’s going to be in the club where there are tons of boys who will probably hit on her.”
“So? I don’t care, Dowoon. How many times do I have to tell you guys that I’m not interested?!”
“You’re just saying that cause you haven’t bonded with her that much. Let’s see if you still think the same after your project ends.”
“Whatever.”
When they reached the club, Jae immediately headed to the stage to check the sound system.
“Sound check, one... two... Check.. mic” He always want to make sure that all the equipments are working properly in order to make sure their performance will go well.
“I’ve checked everything already. Let’s just set up our gears and we’re good.” Younghyun calls out.
He headed backstage to get his guitar when he received a text from her which almost made him trip.
5:31 pm [new message] getting ready for the gig!! hope you guys will play my favorite song HAHA. fighting!!
Jae was tempted to ask her what her favourite song was, but he decided not to. He’ll just be bothered if it wasn’t included in their setlist and the members will sure as hell be suspicious if he suddenly wanted to add a new song.
Plus, he doesn’t care right? It’s not like he wants to impress her or anything.
A few minutes after 6, customers - which were mostly students from their university - started flooding the club. It’s no wonder though, since its the closest place to get cheap booze around the area.
Jae peeked through the curtain to check if she already arrived.
“Looking for her?” Sungjin teased.
“What?! No! I’m just checking the crowd.” He replies in an annoyed tone.
“And since when did you care about how many people were there?” Jimin adds, eyebrows raised.
“I swear, I’m so close to drop kicking all of you. Let’s just go out there and kill this set!”
Day6 finally went out of the stage. Jae scanned the crowed and saw familiar faces, and then her, who stood out in the sea of people.
Despite the clubs dim lights, he saw her clearly, as if there was a non-existent spotlight on her. She saw him looking at her and waved at his direction, and Jae gave an awkward smile before averting his gaze as fast as he could.
“Hi everyone. We’re Day6.” Sungjin, the one in charge of greetings, begins.
“We’ll be your company for tonight. First song is called ‘Congratulations’”.
As soon as the music played, Jae’s nervousness started to fade. The only thing that’s on his mind is singing to the beat and playing his guitar as if it’s his last performance.
Seeing the crowd waving their hands up in the air and hearing them sing along to every song is one of the reasons why Jae does music.
The feeling he gets whenever he sees people enjoy his craft is amazing — but it’s nothing compared to seeing her as a part of the crowd.
Her hair sticking to her forehead due to sweat (and how she manages to still look good is a mystery to him), her mouthing the lyrics as if she’s memorized all of them and her jumping like a kid when they play their more upbeat songs — all of those little things make Jae feel a different kind of way, a feeling he’s never have to deal with before.
“And for our last song, we’ll be singing everyone’s favorite “You Were Beautiful.””
The audience cheered but became quiet as soon as Wonpil hit the first note in his keyboard.
Jae sang his heart out and unconsciously looked for her in the crowd, but she wasn’t singing along this time.
She was just standing there, a sad look in her eyes, staring at... him? Or it could be any other member. Jae didn’t wanna assume.
As their set ended, the rest of the members headed to the bar to quench their thirst. Jae wanted to come along but Jimin stopped him before he could.
“Where do think your going Mr?”
“I’m thirsty.”
“Nuh-uh. The only thing you should be thirsty for is love. Go talk to her and ask her what she thinks of the set.” Jimin literally pushed him away and glared at him until he started walking towards her.
“Hey.” Jae greeted awkwardly.
“Hey! That was a nice set. I thought you guys wouldn’t be singing my favorite.”
“Uhhh.. which was?”
“You Were Beautiful! I mean, it’s everybody’s favorite but I’m not surprised. It’s a really heartfelt song!”
“It’s one of my favorite songs to perform too.” Jae says, although it’s not really his favorite. Okay fine, he admits it. He’s trying to impress her.
“Really? Is it hard to play? Dang, I wish I can play as good as you. But I can’t play any instruments to save my life.” She says pouting, making Jae’s heart do a little skip.
“Well... I can teach you sometime..” He starts saying and her eyes widen, “if you’d like-“ he hurriedly adds.
“Heol! Really? ARE YOU SERIOUS? Wait. You already said that! No take backs!!!” She says excitedly.
“Well, of course the project would have to be our first priority...” He says, as not to look like he’s liking the idea too much.
“Pft, who cares about the project? I’m learning how to play guitar!!!” She exclaims.
Maybe Dowoon is right. He’s not going to be feeling the same way when this project ends.
