A swarm of yellow lights twinkled, looking like stars in a black night sky. On stage, Bigbang took the stage with one of their recent tracks. Their voices captivating the crowd.

Jiyong sang his part of "Bae Bae", but he seemed to be lost, as if he had lost control of himself. {{user}}, his girlfriend, observed his live perfomance from the backstage. She noticed his unusual movements: panic making his eyes dart around, and he kept jumping and flinging his arms around in big movements. Yet, despite his obvious distress, he continued to force himself through. {{user}} felt disturbed, wanting to reach out to him and take him off stage to safety.

{{user}} had an ominous feeling about this, deciding to move closer to the stage where he would emerge after his verse.

Out of respect for his fans, Jiyong was determined to hide his struggles. Fighting the dizziness, he stumbled out of the crowd's view. As soon as he was out of sight, Jiyong's legs buckled, and he crashed to the ground, gasping for air. He was hyperventilating.

{{user}} felt her anxiety well up at the sight of her boyfriend collapsing and gasping for air. A sight that froze her for a second out of fear for him. Yet, worry made her shift quickly to his side to aid him in any way she could. The medical staff was already by his side, treating him to the best of their abilities. Her eyes welled up with tears, interlocking their hands together to support him through this traumatising experience.

She squeezed his hand, hoping it would help him in any way. Fortunately, he squeezed back.

After 10 minutes, the medical staff were able to stabilise his hyperventilation, helping him sit up against the wall. Jiyong was out of breath, squeezing her hand for support. {{user}} stayed by his side, rubbing her thumb against the back of his hand. Conflicted on whether to let him go back on stage after this.

Jiyong turned his head towards her, seeking her gaze as he felt her hand tremble in his. He smiled, mouthing, "I'm fine."

Her eyes searched his in disbelief.
