there was now only five minutes until you were to step on stage and perform. you were so excited, yet terrified and nervous something would go wrong. your palms and your forehead sweaty already for pacing the waiting room for 10 minutes.
minho, hyunjin, and felix were in the room with you. they all seemed anxious as well but definitely not as much as you were right now.
chan, jisung and jenni were with you as well. no one had noticed your excessive pacing until now. jenni spotted you from her seat across the room and decided to go over.
“hey, you good? do you need some water?” she gently placed a hand on your back to make you stand still.
“y-yeah, water would be nice, thanks.” you answer, staring at the floor.
“alright i’ll get you some, just hold on a sec okay?”
“chan! would you come here a sec? emergency like right now.” jenni yelled, catching everyone’s attention now.
“yeah, no problem…” his eyes met her line of vision going straight to you and he quickly walked over to where you were standing.
“y/nnie? hey, what’s wrong bubs?” he grabbed onto your hands, rubbing circles on your palms like he always did when you were stressed.
you couldn’t look at him. you couldn’t even move. you were frozen. your knees locked, feet planted on the floor. your hands were shaking a bit as well. you were… scared? no that can’t be it.
“y/n, look at me, okay? you’re gonna be okay.” his voice soft and calming
you finally turn to face him, tears starting to swell in your eyes.
“hey, hey what’s wrong?” he asks
“i- i don’t know, um…” you trail off, unsure what to say, how to explain.
“shh, it’s okay, you’re okay.”
“is it just nerves? or-“
“yeah, i… i think. yeah.”
“i don’t know why though, like i was so excited for tonight- i am excited but like i can’t fucking move. i just don’t want to fuck it up. i don’t want to ruin it. we worked so hard the past few weeks to set this up and if i-“
“you’re gonna do amazing, y/n. you always do. remember how we planned ahead just in case something does go wrong? you’re a great dancer and we believe in you. you got this.” hyunjin steps in
“he’s right. you’ve got this! and we’ll all be here backing you up.” felix adds
“that’s right.” chan says
“here’s your water,” jenni hands it to you and motions for chan to move out of the way, which he does. she grabs ahold of your shoulders, giving them a light squeeze as you sip your water. “you’ve got this,” she smiles
“now let’s get out there and show them what we’ve got.” minho says
your nerves seemed to brush over as the four of you stepped onto the stage. it was dark with the lights being dimmed, but you could tell there were so many people. they were all there to watch you guys perform. it was amazing.
everything went well in the end. the crowd was roaring and you caught a glimpse of seungmin taking pictures from the front row.
the pictures came out beautifully and you couldn’t be more happy with how everything turned out. there were no mistakes in the choreo and everyone seemed to love the performance. the night was going great.
after the curtains closed, you and the boys went back to the green room where the rest of you friends were waiting for you with gifts. flowers, candy, stuffed animals. they wanted to congratulate you.
“you guys did so well oh my god!” sage screamed as soon as you stepped through the door.
“thank you, couldn’t have done it without your guys’ help and support tonight.”
everyone ended up engulfed into a sweaty group hug.
“hey, y/n. can i talk to you in the hall for a second?” chan asked, his hands behind his back
“i- yeah, of course.” you smiled
everyone else in the room shared a look of confusion, but they were all as equally intrigued. as well as nosey.
chan cleared his throat before speaking, “so…”
“so…” you repeated
“um, what i brought you out here to say was that you did really amazing out there and you looked amazing and… let me shut up.” he laughed at the end, embarrassed by his rambling.
“anyways, these are for you.” he smiled hard, showing off the dimples in his chin
he brought his arms from behind his back in front of you and revealed a bouquet of your favorite flowers. one of many things he knew well about you.
“well, thank you channie. i really appreciate that. and the flowers are beautiful, thank you.” you carefully take them out of his hands.
“of course, i’m glad everything went well. and again, you looked gorgeous tonight, y/n.”
you could feel your face start to flush, heat rising to your cheeks as he complimented you.
“channie…. stop it!” you playfully hit him in his chest, embarrassed now that your best friend, your crush thought you looked pretty.
“what? i’m being serious! can i not tell my bestie how pretty she looks? aren’t i supposed to do that? actually, i think it’s somewhere in the bestie rules, you know.” he raised an eyebrow, still showing off his dimples as he playfully smiled at you.
he always knew how to pull at your heart strings. always knowing the right words to say like before. and like now, how he’s making you blush and kick your feet at him. he’s so… insufferable.
“i hate you.” you huff
“no, no you don’t. and that’s why you put up with me.” he replied in a sing-song tone
“but let’s get back in there before they all start getting suspicious or something.” he laughs, tugging at your sleeve to pull you back into the room.
—
walking back into the room, all eyes were on you and chan. your friends all giving you a spill the tea kind of look so chan decides to break the silence.
“what? i wanted to congratulate y/n.”
“her but not us?!” hyunjin and minho both dramatically gasp
“shut up.” chan rolled his eyes, yet silently laughed
“we should grab something to eat to celebrate!” changbin interrupts.
“good idea, let’s go.” sage says, grabbing one of your arms and walking out of the room. jenni and felix quickly following suit.
“bitch, spill right now.” jenni says once you’re all out of earshot of the other boys.
“so…”
