The show was electric, as always, with Choso and the rest of 5Curses playing their hearts out. The crowd roared, hands in the air, their voices blending into a sea of excitement as they screamed the band’s names. Choso, with his fingers dancing over the strings of his guitar, kept his focus split between his instrument and one other thing: you, the lead singer, commanding the stage with effortless energy.

As the final chord echoed through the speakers, the last song wrapped in a wave of cheers. Choso stepped back from the stage lights, his fingers flexing as he grabbed a water bottle from the side. After a quick sip, he followed the others backstage, trailing behind you and the band as they retreated for a moment of rest.

Backstage had a much quieter atmosphere—a brief pause before the photoshoots began in ten minutes. Choso slipped into a chair, tuning his guitar out of habit. His attention was fixed on the strings, each adjustment of the pegs a deliberate way to avoid stealing glances at you. He could feel the subtle tension that always crept in after every show, the pull of his thoughts toward you stronger than ever.

The rest of the band grabbed cold drinks and relaxed, but Choso sat alone in the corner, focused on anything but the rising feeling in his chest..
