Luna's POV
"I swear I will wring his neck once I catch him." I slurred as I try to balance myself due to the heels that I am wearing.
"Yah, stop it, Luna." Yessa told me as she helps me seat on one of the chairs available on the reception.
I was about to go to the boys earlier when Natalie came and pulled me back including Yessa.
That motherfucker. I saw a girl all out eating his face. I swear I will kill him once I take a hold of him.
My head started to hurt. It's been an hour and I was sure I haven't seen the boys since earlier.
Are they hiding?
My eyes landed on Natalie who's busy looking around. Natalie had been so weird lately. She seemed aloof and battling with an internal conflict all by herself.
"Natalie, are you sure you're okay? You've been off lately." I asked her a little concern.
These past few days, I barely see her. It's as if she's trying to avoid me. Plus, when I invited her to this party, she initially declined so imagine my shock when she pulled me back as I was about to knock out Kim Devon.
"Of course." she said but she seems unsettled on her seat.
"Hey, don't you want to see Jiro?" I teased her. I knew she liked my cousin.
"No. I don't like him, okay." she said but I was sure she looked sad about something.
I put a mental note to talk to her one of this days. There seem to be something bothering her.
Then, we were startled when we heard a noise coming from the stage.
Soon, the MC of the event came up the stage.
What's this? The program ended a little while. Is there another set of program?
"Yessa, what's happening?" I asked but she shrugged but I was sure I saw her grinning.
"Good evening everyone. I know the program ended a little earlier but we have a guest who wants to sing a song to the celebrant."
Huh? Who could it be?
My eyes went wide open when I saw Noah come up the stage, soon, the rest of the boys followed including Devon.
My heart starting beating like crazy as I sat properly on my seat.
The guests were also startled while the younger ones started gossiping.
"Yah, are they really going to be performing?"
"It's been two years since they were seen performing."
"Oh God, I haven't heard their voices since then!"
I looked around and noticed how the people are getting excited.
TRIGGER were already big when they suddenly went out the spotlight so this will be something big if they indeed perform.
"Hey, what's happening?" I asked Yessa.
"Good evening everyone." Noah started and I tried to focus myself on what's happening.
I started nibbling my finger in nervousness.
"We are TRIGGER!" the boys greeted like how they do.
"Awwww." I whimpered on my seat.
I'd pay a million to see this.
"I know every one of you might be confused. By the way, my name is Kim Noah, I'm the leader of TRIGGER."
Soon enough, all the boys have already introduced themselves.
My eyes landed on Kim Devon. He looked a little nervous.
I noticed him scanning the crowd and soon, we made eye contact.
All the frustration that I had earlier vanished once I saw his eyes full of worry.
He seemed restless and I noticed how Jack tapped his shoulder in reassurance.
But then, he seemed lost.
This is not good. Devon maybe om some therapy but it hasn't been that long.
I quickly stood from my seat and moved my way towards them. I stopped beside the stage and Devon immediately moved towards me as Noah and Joshua kept on entertaining the guest.
"Are you okay?" I asked him as I cupped his face.
I noticed the littles streaks of sweat on his forehead.
This isn't good. I don't think he's ready for this.
"Dev, you don't need to do this." I told him.
His hands went up and he started caressing my hands which are cupping his face.
"No. I want to do this. I can't stay like this." he sincerely muttered.
"But you're not ready. We still have plenty of time until you are ready."
"I know, but I still want to try." his eyes started watering.
"Devon..." I whispered as I wipe the tears that are threatening to spill on his cheeks.
I feel so proud right now. He is clearly scared of what's about to happen but he wants to overcome his fears.
"Whatever happens today, just remember that I'm here. I will support you even if you end up not singing in front of these people."
He nodded as he pulled my body towards him and hugged me.
"I will stand in the in front of the stage at the middle. Just look at me if you feel like you can't handle the crowd, okay?" I whispered.
"Thanks for being here."
And then I thought of something to ease his nerves.
"If I were you, I'll be more scared later because I will surely kill you after that incident with the girl eating your face earlier." I joked but he seemed taken aback.
"Yah, you do know that I didn't kiss her, right?" he said a little worried.
I just rolled my eyes.
"You better sing so well in there so I would change my mind about killing you afterwards or we can go back to the amusement park. I don't mind riding a dozen more times in the roller coaster." I grinned at him and he looked shocked.
At least his mind went somewhere else for a moment.
I gave him a peck on the cheeks before I walk and made my way to the front.
"Yah, Park Luna!" I heard him call but I didn't look back. "You're joking right?" he said nervously. I chuckled to myself at his reaction.
"So, we know we haven't been around for so long and honestly, we are not prepared but we would like to dedicate this to Mrs. Park for her birthday and we thank your daughter Luna for bearing with us." Joshua oppa said and Yessa hit my shoulders as we stand a few feet away from the boys.
"This is Hold Me Tight." Sylver oppa said.
Soon enough, seven boys stood before me but of course, my eyes focused on Devon.
He seemed to relax a little and I smiled at him once his gaze landed on mine.
They all started singing each of their lines.
I clasped my hands together as Devon's part came closer.
He lifted his mic towards his lips as his eyes focus on me.
"You can do it." I whispered as if he can hear me.
The boys were all looking at him as well and I was sure Jack and Jiro are ready in case Devon can't do his part.
And then a miracle had happened.
Please hold me, don’t leave me…
I will never let you go.
Please love me, adore me
Don’t ever think I will let go.
A tear fell down on my cheeks as I saw him lost on his own world. He's putting all of his emotions on the song and the rest of the boys seemed thrilled.
His eyes landed on me and I put my thumbs up and smiled at him.
He really did a good job.
Jack moved towards Devon and hugged the other.
Devon must have been shaking the entire time because it seemed like he lost his balance a little and Jack was good enough to help him stand properly.
Then, the rest of the boys moved towards the two and hugged Devon as well.
Now, my cheeks had been filled with tears as I clap along with the guest.
I am so damn happy for him.
Once the boys had released him from the hug, Devon's eyes landed on mine and my heart fluttered on what he mouthed.
"I love you."
I love you too, Kim Devon. I love you. I told to myself.
