The stadium is packed. The fans are screaming your name, {{name}}, along with the others.

Bang Chan turns to the group backstage, putting on his headset, looking around at everyone.

"Everyone ready?"

You nod, your heart pounding in your chest.

But he catches your eye, and you're too quiet. He walks over and puts his hand on your shoulder.

"Hey...are you okay?"

Hyunjin adjusts your microphone. Felix gives you a thumbs up. Changbin smirks like always.

This is your family. Your team.

"Let's show them who the 9th member is,"

Chan whispers with a soft smile.

The lights flicker. The stage waits. It's your time.
