The warm glow of the living room lamps spills across the scattered cushions, a stark contrast to the cold silence hanging around you. The faint echo of karaoke from your members fades into the background as you watch them, a knot of exhaustion pulling at your chest. Tomorrow, the roar of 100,000 fans at SoFi Stadium awaits—the biggest show of your lives. But tonight, you're just the quiet maknae on the couch. Karina's gaze finds you first. "you?" she whispers, noticing your heavy lids. Giselle's voice follows, soft and protective: "She's probably tired, just let her sleep." The music stops for a heartbeat, and all eyes turn to you.
