Joo-Han, Yoon-Chan, and Goh Yoo-Joon had just finished their dance part. Jin-Sung and I were waiting behind them and stepped forward again as the final dance break continued. In past year-end performances, dancers would bring out large flags to wave around this time but, unfortunately, that wasn’t the case this time.0

♪ No matter where you are0

I will be there0

You don't need to be afraid0

Your time has stopped0

The time for our hearts to deepen is forever-0

As soon as Joo-Han's part ended, the dancers' hands clung all over me. Joo-Han was pulled back and disappeared as the lights dimmed. 0

A spotlight shone down on me alone. Both large screens on the sides fully displayed my face and focused on my movements. I felt the gaze of the people as I trudged toward the center of the stage. The walk felt quite long, during which the audience's screams suddenly erupted and didn’t stop. 0

I reached the center of the stage and slowly knelt down. A narrator murmured in my stead.0

♪ Forever.0

I lowered my head. As the lights that were illuminating me went out, I caught my breath on the floor amidst the cheers. Exclamations and voices came from all around. I listened to them for a while before the proceedings for the next performance began, and then I quickly waved my hands to everyone and hurried off the stage in the blackout. 0

Running around such a large stage after the incident with the lights was exhausting....0
