My heart, filled with excitement, as well as anxiety, has been thumping like mad since we got here. 

It's the day of our first performance as an official, debuted group.

We can't afford to make a screw-up.

Nothing should go wrong, this time.

The camera, the lights, and the people circling around the studio, preparing for the event, made me feel nauseous.

I feel like vomiting any moment now.

"Are you okay, Mr. Kim Jinwoo? You don't look so good." the lady fixing my hair asked.

"Oh, haha. Yeah, of course. I'm just a bit nervous."

The lady nodded and smiled.

Calm down, Jinwoo.

Just stick to what we've been practicing, and everything's gonna be perfectly fine.

I heard the crowd cheer.

I stood up and took a peek; I saw people waiting, holding banners with our names on it.

They must've had very high expectations of us.

What if I don't satisfy them with my performance?

I felt my knees shake.

My head's getting a bit dizzy.

Goodness.

I can't do this.

But I can't turn back now.

This is the day I've been waiting for, for so long!

I can't waste this opportunity, just cos I got nervous!

What do I do?

Please. Someone tell me what to do!

I felt a hand touch my shoulder.

I turned around and saw Mino.

"It's alright, Jinwoo. You can do this. Fighting!" He said, with his fist clenched.

I paused and stared at him; I was speechless.

My body stopped moving.

It's like time froze.

I felt so relieved at what I just saw and heard.

The anxiety growing more and more by the minute, vanished.

Just like that.

With a simple phrase, all my worries faded away.

I don't know if it's the encouragement itself, that made it possible, or that the person who made the encouragement, did.

I felt a lump build up in my throat.

My eyes, beginning to water, made my vision blurry.

A tear rolled down my cheek.

What the?

..Am I..

Am I crying?

I looked at Mino and saw his eyes widen.

He held my shoulders. "Hyung!! Why are you crying?!"

"I.. I don't know.."

"What do you mean you don't know? Are you feeling sick??? Let's get you to the hospital!" 

"No. I.. I just.."

I was interrupted by someone. "Yah!! What did you do to him?! Why is he crying?!" 

I looked at where the voice was coming from.

It was Seungyoon, walking towards us, with the rest of the members.

"I didn't do anything! He just suddenly cried!" Mino raised his voice.

"I don't believe you. No one just suddenly cries." Taehyun folded his arms.

"No.. He didn't do anything." 

They all stared at me.

"He was just cheering me up.. I was so nervous."

Seunghoon raised his eyebrows. "Then, why are you crying?"

"..I don't know myself, too.."

It's the day! 

I'm so excited, I think I might go crazy!

What kinds of poses should I make while performing??!

Should I do this?

Or this?

Aish! I can't keep calm!

Mino, get your sht together.

I need to perform flawlessly!

And for that, I must stretch first!

I might get cramp later on, with all the daring poses I'll make.

Better safe than sorry!

Here we go!

"1 2 3! 1 2 3!"

Now, turn around.

"1 2 3-"

OH.

Is that Jinwoo?

What's he doing over there?

Is he taking a peek at the audiences?

Aigoo! I bet he's anxious again.

He gets easily nervous.

Well, I'm nervous myself, too, but not as much as him.

He's always had a problem with that.

Should I go to him and cheer him up?

But.. 

I'm still embarrassed to face him!

I'm still not sure if last night was just a dream or..

But..

That poor guy!

Look at him!

His knees are shaking!

Man up, Mino!

Alright.

Here we go.

"It's alright, Jinwoo. You can do this. Fighting!"

God! That was awful!

I'm still awkward in front of him, after all.

I bet he feels even more terrible, right now.

Look at him, he's not responding!

What's with him?

He's frozen!

Wait..

Is he..

Is he crying?

Did my lame encouragement made him cry?!

"Hyung!! Why are you crying?!"

"I.. I don't know.."

HUH?!

"What do you mean you don't know? Are you feeling sick??? Let's get you to the hospital!" 

"No. I.. I just.."

"Yah!! What did you do to him?! Why is he crying?!" Seungyoon barges in.

What!?

"I didn't do anything! He just suddenly cried!"

"I don't believe you. No one just suddenly cries." Taehyun folded his arms.

Damn you, and your attitude, Taehyun!

"No.. He didn't do anything." Jinwoo rubbed his eyes. "He was just cheering me up.. I was so nervous."

Seunghoon raised his eyebrows. "Then, why are you crying?"

"..I don't know myself, too.."

HUH???

You don't even know yourself??
