I woke up today with full blown anxiety.

My palms we're weak and heavy, my arms were spaghetti. My eyes couldn't see correctly and I forgot how to count.

Today was our first ever concert. Not a lot of people came to our concert, but I'm grateful that a handful of gentlemen came to support us. I pulled on the short, cropped red jacket I had on. It barely even covered my cropped black tank top. For trousers, I had above the knee tights that gripped my waist. Like everyone else, I had on platform shoes. The outer rim on the shorts and shirt (where the wristband's were) displaces the word "TWICE" multiple times.

"Unnie" Dahyun grabbed my attention. I looked up at the five foot four girl. "I'm nervous."

I composed myself and gave her a smile. "Why ever for? You're Dahyun! One of the most specialist and amazing girls in the world"

"W-What if they don't like me..?" She blushed at my multiple compliments. I grabbed her hands.

"So what? They should be blessed to have you in their eyes!"

She inhaled and grinned at me. "Thank you Briar unnie. That really meant a lot to me. I'm glad to have a leader and friend like you"

I gave her a squeezing hug. Not for her, but to calm me down. She squeezed back.

Her words gave me energy. She saw me as a role model. Someone she thought she should be like. I gleamed and hugged her tighter.

"Uh, Briar unnie. I would like to breathe now"

I let go. "Oh! I'm sorry! Ahah!"

"it's okay!" She cracked her smile. "Come! Let's go see everyone."

She pulled me over to where the crowd was, I peeked over the curtains. One girl saw me and took a photo. I waved at her, she held her mouth and started to cry.

'Do we really make this much of an impact?' I pondered and backed up. Sadness unnie handed us headsets and microphones.

"Let's do this, okay unnie?" She grabbed her hands in mine. I nodded and walked out onto the stage. Everyone else follows me and the small crowd clapped and whistles.

"One, Two, Three; One in a million, hello we are TWICE" We introduced and bowed. The crowd went wild.

I inhaled and recited my speech. "Hello! I'm Briar and I'm the leader of the group Twice! I want to thank everyone here for coming out tonight and supporting us! We'll try to do our best! Fighting!"

Everyone clapped and we slowly got into position. The music slowly starts playing. We all wait for the first beat to drop. I had sung the first pre-chorus in 'OOH-AH' and whipped out the high note.

We danced and sung our hearts out. We did some fun mini-games with the crowd and they got to know us more. All my fears of not being good enough vanished and I let myself shine.
