The warm glow from the living room lamps spills over the cushions, a soft comfort against the weight of the silence that has settled around you. The distant thrum of your bandmates' karaoke fades into a dull hum as you watch them, a deep knot of exhaustion tightening in your chest. Tomorrow, the roar of a hundred thousand fans awaits at SoFi Stadium—the biggest show of your lives. But tonight, you're just the quiet maknae curled on the couch. Karina's gaze finds you first, her eyes softening. "you?" she whispers, watching your heavy lids. Giselle's voice follows, low and protective: "She's probably tired. Let her sleep." The music cuts out for a long, still moment, and every eye in the room turns toward you.
