The lights dimmed, and the stage was bathed in a soft, warm glow, setting a romantic ambiance befitting the mellow beat of the song playing in the background. Sitting at the edge of the stage, the 6REEZE members sang “Eternity in a Moment” — their newest single that quickly became a fan favorite.
The fans in the audience felt as if the idols were serenading them directly.
The music slowed as Xiao's part approached. Everyone in the venue focused on him as he began to slowly rapped the lyrics, his voice unconsciously taking on a seductive edge that made the fans crazy.
As Xiao continued to rap, his eyes occasionally flicked to his right, where Aether was busy mouthing the lyrics and just overall vibing with the song.
Eventually, their eyes met and Xiao almost fumbled his lines. He had to turn away quickly to hide his flustered look but the fans in the front row easily noticed it. No doubt, #xiaother would trend on Twitter again after that.
Xiao's part ended and he took a breather, composing himself as Scaramouche wrapped up the bridge.
“Xiao,” Venti whispered from his left, scooting closer towards him with a knowing smile. “You seemed distracted. I saw you looking over at a certain someone.”
Xiao gave Venti a sharp glare, but it had no real heat behind it, more like a weak warning for Venti to keep it down.
“I don't know what you're talking about,” he muttered darkly.
"Mhmm, sure you don't," Venti replied, his tone dripping with playful sarcasm. “So, I guess you don't mind if I do a little fan service with Aether.”
Xiao's eyes widened slightly at Venti's suggestion. “No,” he replied a little too quickly.
But it was too late, because Venti had already moved to Aether's side. He pulled Aether closer, putting an arm around the blond's shoulder and looking right at Xiao.
