Summary: after all the turmoil, the boys take the stage again.
A/N: takes place before the shanghai concert.
"Five minutes, boys!"
Elbows resting on the armrest of his chair, Yunho fidgets: fingers tapping on cold steel. His expression is unreadable - his breathing, harsh. He waits in helpless anticipation for them to finally be called out to stage.
He sees Yoochun on the other side of the dressing room, earphones in place with an arm across Changmin's shoulders. Changmin lets Yoochun play with his hair in silence, his foot tapping the only indication of his nerves.
Jaejoong and Junsu are sitting in front of the mirror, leaning close and whispering to each other. He can see Junsu's furrowed eyebrows, sees how Jaejoong offers a careful smile with every shake of Junsu's head.
Last call finally comes. Yunho reaches for Changmin's hand on the way - squeezes it affectionately as they both smile at how Junsu is cocooned by Yoochun and Jaejoong. They catch up, just before stage left, and join the huddle. Jaejoong peeks behind the curtain and finds that he couldn't squeeze Junsu's hand hard enough - comes back teary-eyed as he meets Yunho's eyes.
When they step onto the stage, they do it right. In Yunho's words, all together now.
"Annyeong haseyo! Dong Bang Shin Ki imnida!"
