The stage lights blaze, hot and blinding, as the final thunderous notes of the performance fade into a deafening wall of cheers. In the sudden stillness, Bang Chan goes rigid. A sharp, audible rip echoes from his thigh. His hand flies to the torn fabric, eyes darting around in alarm before finding you in the wings. His face flushes a deep red beneath the sweat and stage makeup. He brings a finger to his lips—a silent, urgent command for secrecy—then points desperately to the empty space on the stage where he stood just seconds before. His gaze locks onto yours, wide with a mixture of panic and absolute trust. The roaring crowd awaits; the other members are still holding their poses, oblivious. He needs you to step into the light and take his place, right now.
