The auditorium was packed, full of excited and eager faces, waiting for the next contestant. The stage was still fully lighted, but the large red curtain was still drawn, hiding the stage. Some students were holding banners of their favorite contestant, but it was transparent that at least 60% of the crowd was admirers of Prince 4.

IU stood at the second floor, leaning on the balcony, as she was catching her breath after running for like 15 minutes. Lyn made her stay overtime, with reasons unknown. So as soon as her shift ended, she rushed towards the auditorium. Thankfully, she overheard that the Prince still hadn’t perform.

Thirty seconds passed, the lights dimmed, and the crowd’s excitement erupted on the four walls of the hall. “They sure do have a lot of fans,” she muttered to herself as she looked down at the sea of colorful banners their fans made.

The lights slowly dimmed and the curtains drawn. The crowd was cherring like crazy and finally, there in the middle of the stage, stood the four glorious men. They stood with such charisma, looking marvelous in their black suit. Kris looked remarkable, looking chic with his hair pushed back and his black neck tie tucked in placed. Just like before, Luhan’s fringe was also up, and unlike the innocence he was vibing off from his white suit, seeing him in a black one was completely different. He looked manlier. IU’s little panda was also different. It was true that Tao looked unusual with his scary gaze, but wearing the black suit, he looked hot. With his black tousled hair and his earrings. He looked so unlike from his ordinary look. Lastly Yixing stood in the middle of the group. He looked alluring in his black suit, his bangs were swept to the side. His appeal jus amplified a thousand times more.

IU has never seen anything as perfect as this quartet. “Hello,” Luhan greeted the crowed, and every person in the room cheered. “The song we are going to sing is entitled Angel, which was solely composed by our very own Zhang Yixing.” Yixing stepped forward and bowed at them, and the crowd gave him an enthusiatic applaud.

Taking a deep breath, they sang. Just at the first note, they have already captured the hearts of their viewers. Paralyzed in their seats, eyes full of wonder, the audience swayed to the beat as they took all in the excitement they were feeling. It was just like the first time that IU watched them, but this time they were better. Every note was hit perfectly. Emotions were clearly etched on their faces. The big surprise to her was seeing Yixing smiling. His dimples perfectly carved on the sides of his cheeks. He looked happy.. they all looked happy, and IU couldn’t help but tear up at the sight of them singing like this.

And for the first time in the few weeks, IU finally
