BoA just ran to the side whole waiting for the VCR to finish before proceeding to her next performance. She managed a quick “good job, thank you” to Sehun before he went to the backstage. She is very thankful that this VCR is almost a minute long. 

“Why not me?” A voice said next to her. A voice she knew so well. A voice she indeed missed for two years. Yes, they got the chance to talk, but unlike those times that they knew that either one of them would be at the company, willing to dance their troubles away. 

For a moment she just looked at him, words not forming in . Not once did he not made her feel small whenever he is with her. Small as in physically small. Especially now that she is wearing these white sneakers, no heels, not even hidden insoles. As she was formulating a thought to say, he beat her to it.

“He doesn't like it, right?” He let out a strained chuckle. That kind of a forced laugh and they both knew it. “And I thought we were friends. Everybody even says that I was the bridge to the both of you.” He clucked his tongue and laughed again. “Maybe I am silly to even think of dancing on stage with you ever again.” He just looked at her. Until now she have not said a word. Tears were forming inside her. 

“10 seconds!” The stage manager shouted, mostly for her and the back up dancers. 

“Time to shine again, BoA-sunbaenim” He smiled that smile of his. He gave her a push and she took the microphone that was reached out to her. 

Their tradition broken. Any time that one of them is there before the other performs, they cheer each other up. Yes, he did that. He also used to say Little Giant. As if they became strangers again.

Who Are You starts to play.

She had to smile. Had to face all those people. She does not even know why but her heart aches so much. 

My heart is running to you, every sec getting close to you

She knew she could not do it. There's no way she could finish this song.

My heart is running to you

She had to fight it. She is strong. People know that she is strong. He is the only person who truly knows how she feels, how she cries, how hard and pathetic she once felt in life. The shoulder she cried on.

(English Translation)

I felt it when I first saw you
You’re the type of boy I waited for
It’s like someone drew it out, the way you look, the way you talk
I don’t want to admit but I have no choice but to admit
But you’re like a tangled line, you make me dizzy

When you take a step closer
I get nervous for some reason
What if this is a hasty decision?
But if I go away, I’m afraid I would lose you
What do I do? Should I hold onto you?

He was watching from the side. He was genuinely smiling, silently cheering her on. As if each word she was singing was pointing to him. It was no use. 

Who are you stranger can't stop thinking of you

She was not even able to sing the first line of the chorus. The tears flowed out and she had to stop. The dancers did not know what to do. As if everything stopped except for the music. It was still playing and the audience were continuously murmuring. The dancers tried to do their best to shield BoA from the audience. 

He can't take it anymore. He ran. He does not even care anymore that people were watching. The girl who he loves the most in the world just broke down. He knows how strong she is, or rather how strong she wants the others to know. 

She saw him coming, her legs felt weak and she just slumped on the floor. He reached her and grabbed her face in his hands. He was wiping the tears pooling from her eyes. He was saying words no one but the two of them understood. He pulled her up and just hugged her. He signalled for the dancers to cover them up and to still dance.

It was the first time she broke down in front of a crowd. It's as if they were back to a studio, just the two of them telling their problems and dancing them away. But it was different. She knew something was different, he knew that something had changed. Just as much as they want to prove that they are still the same, it still is not. 

Even though she was crying and breaking down, she tried to complete the song.

My heart is running to you, every sec getting close to you
So please don't run away, take my hand

She knew that for the next part she could just rest for a while, the dance break she practiced for hours thrown into waste.

As if he just saw that the whole stadium was watching, all the while Gaeko was rapping, he took the microphone from BoA’s hands and began chanting, 

Jum-ping BoA
BoA jjang
BoA jjang
BoA jjang

As if the crowd understood what he wanted to do, they chanted with him. True enough it made BoA look up at him and at the crowd. He smiled at her. She smiled at him. No words were needed to make them understand what had happened. She stood up and so did he.

He passed the microphone to her. She wiped her tears. He did not go back. As if he was her, he danced along with her.

WHO ARE YOU STRANGER
CAN’T STOP THINKING OF YOU
It’s like I can catch you but you always disappear like sand
PEOPLE SAY THAT
LOVE IS ALL THE SAME
But you’re special, but you have no answer
WHO ARE YOU

I can’t grasp anything
I can’t do anything
Because of you, who fills up my head
WHO ARE YOU

I can’t do anything
Because of you, who fills up my head
