Morning spilled softly across Los Angeles, golden and gentle. The hum of excitement buzzed through the arena corridors — today was the day. The concert. The first stop of the world tour. The stage where secrets would dance under spotlight.
The group rehearsed one last time, feet echoing across polished floors, voices rising in harmony like the sunrise itself. Choen moved like mist — fluid, focused — and every eye was drawn to her without needing to try.
After lunch came styling. Layers of touch-ups. Threads being snipped, accessories adjusted, last-minute nerves stitched into silence.
Two hours before the show… it happened.
The boys were already in their fits — a tailored blend of pastel white and ocean blue, like they'd been kissed by the tides. But when Choen stepped out of the dressing room…
Time. Just. Stopped.
She wore a dress the color of seafoam and sky, silk and shimmer. The light clung to her like a lover. Her hair cascaded like a waterfall over her shoulders, pinned with soft pearls, her eyes glowing with stage-light and something deeper.
Choel turned.
And gasped.
"You… took my breath away," he whispered.
Her heart forgot its rhythm. Breathing became irrelevant. There was only him, and this stillness, and the way the room seemed to hush around them.
Their outfits were matching — not identical, but paired by fate. His jacket bore the same celestial embroidery as her dress hem. Her earrings mirrored the stars on his cuffs.
Kiyo grinned. "Okay, Romeo and Juliet, we've got a stage to wreck."
The team laughed, and suddenly the air was alive again — charged, electric, like thunderclouds wrapped in cotton candy.
Backstage now. The lights dimmed. The arena trembled. The chant of thousands washed over them like a tidal wave:
"GLITTER! GLITTER! GLITTER!"
Choel turned to her, offered his hand.
"You ready?"
She nodded.
But in her heart, she whispered, I was born ready for this.
The curtains drew back.
They stepped into the light.
And the world watched as two stars collided, dancing not just with steps — but with a story only they could tell.
