The anticipation in the air backstage heightened with the distant roars of the crowd. As I delicately applied the final touches of makeup, the brush swept gently over his nose, accentuating the excitement mirrored in his expression.

"Good luck, by the way," I wished, returning the brush to its box. I inspected Hyunjin's face to ensure every detail was perfect for the stage.

"Thanks," he replied, a small smile gracing his lips. As he adjusted his performance attire, Changbin approached, wrapping his arms around Hyunjin's shoulders in a reassuring gesture

Hyunjin shifted his attention to Changbin, tapping the back of his friend's shoulder and extending well wishes for his performance too. The camaraderie backstage added to the charged atmosphere of the upcoming show.

Changbin nodded with a smile, and they walked back to join the other members. Before stepping into the stage's anticipation, they exchanged deep breaths, offering words of encouragement and wishing each other luck. The backstage atmosphere was charged with both excitement and camaraderie.

As they stepped onto the stage, the entire stadium erupted into a deafening roar of cheers from the passionate crowd of Stays, Stray Kids' devoted fanbase. The venue, packed to the brim, showcased the remarkable enthusiasm of the fans. The quick sell-out of concert tickets emphasized the immense popularity and connection between Stray Kids and their dedicated Stays.

They kicked off their performance with their latest comeback song, "Case 143." The synchronized dance moves and harmonious singing captivated the crowd. The stadium reverberated with screams of excitement as fans enthusiastically swung their lightsticks in unison, creating a mesmerizing sea of lights that matched the energy of the stage. The synergy between Stray Kids and their Stays was palpable, turning the concert into an unforgettable experience for everyone present.

Continuing with songs from their album, Stray Kids kept the momentum alive. The stadium became a pulsating hub of energy as fans vibed to the music, participating in chants and cheers. The collective enthusiasm created an electrifying atmosphere, solidifying the deep connection between Stray Kids and their fervent audience. The concert unfolded as a shared celebration of music and camaraderie.

Peeking through the backstage screen, I couldn't help but blush as I watched Hyunjin and the others perform. The way he carried himself in that jacket caught my attention, and the involuntary blush on my face hinted at an admiration that went beyond just professional appreciation.

Swiftly shaking off the lingering feelings, I reminded myself of the professional context. I couldn't afford to get lost in thoughts and fantasies; my focus needed to be on my role as their manager, not personal sentiments in the midst of a live performance.

Despite my efforts to maintain professionalism, I found myself captivated by the way Hyunjin interacted with the crowd. His confident presence, wiping the sweat with a towel, and the genuine smiles exchanged with fans stirred a mix of admiration and intrigue. Balancing work and personal emotions became a delicate challenge in that moment.

As the concert reached its conclusion, each member bid their farewells to the crowd before heading backstage. The stadium slowly emptied as fans started to leave. The lingering energy of the performance hung in the air, mixing with a sense of accomplishment and the bittersweet feeling of the show coming to an end.

Hyunjin approached me with a smile, beads of sweat glistening on his forehead. Acting on instinct, I swiftly went to the desk, grabbed a towel, and handed it to him. He gratefully wiped away the sweat, and I couldn't help but notice the genuine appreciation in his expression. The backstage dynamic shifted from the onstage performance to a more intimate, post-concert moment.
