Chapter 21

Han Jisung

"Hyung! I'm excited!" Jeongin sprang beside me. Literally, jumping up and down out of excitement.

"We know." Chan chuckles. Everyone giggled because of Jeongin's cuteness.

Well, everyone... Excluding me.

I couldn't bring myself to giggle or even smile. Dejavu, isn't it?

I slightly flinch when I felt a hand squeeze my hand. 

"You're gonna be alright. I'm here. We're here." Minho assured me. I sighed.

"O-okay."

It's our first concert! We're currently on the backstage of Thunder Dome in Bangkok. I can hear the faint screams of the STAYs outside the backstage. 

But the negative words overcome the energetic screams of STAYs.

"T-they're coming for J-Jisung..."

"They're threatening Jisung!"

"They will shoot him in Bangkok!" 

"Jisung!" I was awoken by Chan practically shouting my name.

"Y-yeah?" 

"Loosen up for a bit. They won't hurt you. I don't think Minho would let that happen." Woojin shrugged his shoulders. I sighed.

They're right. I should calm down.

I sighed and squeezed Minho's hand, trying to gain strength from him. I looked at him and caught him looking at me.

"I'm here."

"Hello, STAYs! I'm Jisung!" I greeted them before sending finger hearts towards them. The whole dome is filled with their screams and it made my heart overwhelmed.

Wow, I'm this popular?!

"Okay, the STAYs surely want to see some aegyo from our emotional rapper, don't you?" The MC hyped the crowd. I nervously chuckled. I scratched the back of my neck but just did what he asked me too.

I covered my face out of embarrassment when the members didn't react. 

"Okay, I'm out. Goodbye, STAYs!" I playfully said before waving and turning my back on them.

The crowd and the members laughed. I did walk back to them after some steps. The other members introduced themselves and they also did the aegyo request.

It's funny how we, especially the other members, have different reactions differ to the one doing the aegyo. 

The little event finished moments later. I was able to make them laugh. I'm glad.

"We'll just perform one more time and it's our time to say goodbye." The fans made an 'aww' sound after Chan said that.

We prepared for our last performance. I took a deep breath when I was preparing for our performance.

I suddenly feel uneasy. Something's not right.

I decided to just shake it off as I was maybe, being paranoid again for no accurate reason. We started performing. For the other half of the song, we started to roam around the stage.

Giving fanservice to the fans. I was feeling the whole song when I felt something in the pit of my stomach.

Something's really not right.

As if on cue, something hit me in the head. I hissed in pain but I didn't make it show in my face since I know the fans are taking videos.

I looked down and it was a plushie. I picked it up and drew my hand back when I felt something pierced my hand.

I glance at my hand and I saw it was bleeding. I was alarmed since the plushie hit my head. I looked at the plushie again and I saw a sharp point bulging from inside.

"You okay, mate?" Felix lowkey asked me. He looked at my hand and gasped then looked back to my face.

"I'm okay." I smiled at him. I walked around, leaving the plushie there. 

It looked like the person who threw that directly threw that plushie to me. I mean, there are plenty of empty spaces around me since Felix just came when I pierced my hand up.

And why does it have a sharp point in the first place?! It looks like a small knife was inside.

I just smiled and continue to act hyped up even tho my hand is hurting. Soon, it's time to say goodbye. We waved goodbye to the fans and quickly headed back to the backstage as the staff noticed my wound.

"What happened?" Felix immediately went to my side. He was the first to see my wound up the stage. 

"I'll answer later." I weakly said. The staff leads me to a comfort room for me to clean my hand up so that I can wash the blood.

———

The others found out what happened without me telling. The staff somehow found the plushie that hit me and they somehow knew what happened.

I couldn't speak the whole time the staff is telling something since I feel so weak and lightheaded. 

After the discussion, our stylist helped us with our clothes and hair and that's when they found out that I do have a wound in my head caused by the plushie.

They did say that it was bleeding the whole time and it maybe is the cause why I feel so lightheaded.

They immediately gave me the first aid and brought me back to the hotel after finding out my injury.

The other members also went to the hotel early since they're worried about me.

"I'm okay, hyung!" I whined when Chan wouldn't let me stand up from my bed.

"Just lay there! I'll get what you needed. Say it. What is it?" I gave in since I don't have a choice but to just do what he says.

"I just want a cheesecake." I looked at my hands.

"I'll get it. Don't stand from there."

Chan, Changbin and I are the roommates the staff choose. There are three members per room and the staff will be the one to choose who will be in the room with each other.

Minho even became irritated when he found out that he wasn't going to stay in a room with me. I just laughed at him.

"Are you sure, you're okay?" I looked at Changbin who's laying at the bed beside mine. He looked at me with a worried expression.

"I'm okay. It's just a small wound. Don't worry." I smiled.

"But you do lose some blood. Do you feel fine now?" Chan entered th conversation. He handed me the cheesecake I wished for. My eyes sparkled at the sight of the said dessert.

"I am. I'm stronger than you think!" I playfully said. We all laughed.

"Just rest for now," Chan said before walking to his bed. I was in the middle bed.

I ate my cheesecake, making sure to enjoy every single bite of it. The rich sweet flavor of the dessert filled my mouth. 

How I wish this cheesecake is like my situation right now.

Sweet and enjoying.
