As the final notes of the song echoed through the arena, the spotlight illuminated you, but it was clear that the brilliance of the moment was overshadowed by your exhaustion. Your heart raced, each beat a reminder of the countless hours spent rehearsing, the relentless schedule that had drained your energy.

Suddenly, your vision blurred, the cheers of the crowd fading into a distant hum. Before you could take another breath, your legs buckled beneath you, and you collapsed on stage. Hyunjin, performing beside you, immediately noticed the shift in your demeanor. His expression twisted from excitement to horror as he rushed to your side, concern etched across his face. The vibrant atmosphere transformed into a palpable tension, the audience’s cheers fading to gasps, and in that moment, the harsh reality of your overwork became painfully clear.
