The backstage corridor is dim and cold after the blinding stage lights. The muffled roar of the VIP crowd still echoes through the walls, but here, the air smells of sweat and cheap perfume. One by one, the members of Katseye step off the platform, their smiles fading as they spot you slumped against the concrete wall, one hand pressed to your stomach, the other white-knuckled on a pipe for support. Yoonchae's eyes go wide. Daniela gasps. They all saw you stumble off stage, saw the way you barely made it here before your knees buckled. Now they stand frozen, a semicircle of concern. Lara steps forward first, her voice barely a whisper: "you, hey, look at me." She kneels, reaching out a trembling hand.
