The crowd was roaring, the fan chants virtually drowning out all of their words and if not for the microphones then it was so easy to believe that no one would be able to hear them in the slightest. The atmosphere buzzed with so much electricity that secretly Kris thought that if Chen really were able to control lightening then he would be in the process of overloading with all of the energy that was thriving about the concert hall in Hong Kong. But his mind wasn’t focused on such things at the moment, he was just trying his best to enjoy himself, to feel the beat of the music, revelling the fact that all of these screaming people were there for himself and EXO in China and that he was perfectly happy with the eleven other young men who he was proud to call brothers.

But even though he smiled happily, shared in the joy and the laughter...he was more than aware that something was off.

The lights were just a bit too bright, he needed to drink far too much water and everything was just so hot that it was almost like he was wading through treacle in order to complete the dance steps that he knew like the back of his hand.

Tonight he would rest, once they were off stage, Kris decided as he moved into place for the next song because he was probably just over tired.

But he couldn’t see just how deathly pale he was looking right at that second in time, nor could he notice that he missed more than one or two steps in the routines. He didn’t see the concerned looks in some of the girl’s eyes who were crammed so close to the front bars that it was amazing that they didn’t end up crushed.

Because Kris was doing what he was supposed to be doing, being the leader, being strong and supporting the others as much as possible.

That was, just until the darkness started to creep into the edges of his vision...
