The stage lights die, leaving only a dull electrical hum and the ghost of applause hanging in the air. Backstage, the space feels close, thick with the smell of cold sweat and lingering haze. Han Jisung steps shakily from the platform, his dark eyes red-rimmed, the shadows beneath them pronounced against his pallor. He sees you, you, his manager, and in one stumbling motion he collapses against you. His body convulses with the silent tears he choked down throughout the entire set. His fingers twist in the material of your jacket, holding on as if you're the last tether keeping him from floating away. "you..." he whispers, his voice fractured and thin against your shoulder. "Tell me I made it through..." He waits, fragile, needing you to be the glue that holds his pieces together.
