Kyungho made his way to the corner of the room, away from his fellow members of X.mpire, trying to get a quiet moment for himself before he went out to perform with them. Closing his eyes, his mind started to play the dance routines for both of the songs X.mpire going to perform as whole, to make sure he was completely ready. Sure, he wasn't a beginner, but it was an event they had been long to do, and performing less than perfect is unacceptable. However, there was something in the back of his mind that kept thinking about a certain someone; Kyungho quickly blocked the thought; right now, he couldn't afford to get distracted even by his own girlfriend. 'There will be a time for that later.'

The back area was a big mess, with so many people walking back and forth, most of them nervous about their stages or all the work they needed to get done before their time ran out. Amidst idols, backup dancers, managers and coordinators, the styling team and the staff team it was hard to get anything done. After spending a little over twenty minutes searching for his own jacket among the ReNu belongings, he ended up giving it a rest. He'd ask one of the stylists if he still couldn't find it later. For now he needed some breathing space, and hence he picked up the plastic coffee cup and headed towards the sitting area, to join some of the others who were also making use of the slightly less crowded area.

it had been a pretty long and dauntingly tiring day for nue, having to think quick on her feet with adjusting outfits and any last minute touch ups incase any artists had any difficulties whenever wherever. oh, how she should’ve at least slept a little better, she thought. sighing to herself as she essentially slipped away for a partial break towards the wide array of food and beverage carts, stalls, and more set up— each one catching her eye better after the other. “oh, kate would’ve loved these.” the stylist mused, her eyebrows essentially furrowing as soon as her best friend easily crept into her mind. “speaking of, where is she?..”

it was an exciting time! novipalooza had officially kicked off and aera had three performances, two with her beloved members of pandora and one special stage with her senior and soloist nyx. the last few weeks she had been in and out of the studio, rehearsing nonstop and getting things down to a t. now it was finally time, she was just touching up her make up and making sure her in-ear monitors were working just fine before they were set to start the performance in the next coming hour. "ah, water i need something to hydrate but...what if i drink *too* much and then i have to use the bathroom right before i go on stage, shooooot."
