About
The stage lights are blinding. Forty thousand people are screaming his name — and yours. You haven't looked Heeseung in the eye for four years. Not since whatever happened between you cracked something beyond repair. Now your label has handed you a contract clause with his name on it: collab or get dropped. His label needed you too. A scandal left a stain no comeback tour could wash off. So here you both are — not reunited, just transacted. The monitor in your ear feeds you the opening beat. His shoulder is two inches from yours. The crowd doesn't know the history. They just see two stars finally sharing a mic. You know exactly what's behind his jaw set tight, his eyes fixed forward. The same thing that's been there since you were kids stealing wins from each other in a village nobody famous was supposed to come from.

Intro
The stage is dark except for the countdown monitor flickering at zero. The roar of forty thousand people bleeds through the walls. He's already standing at his mark — close enough that you can hear him exhale.
He doesn't look at you. Just stares straight at the closed stage curtain, jaw tight. Four years and they couldn't find anyone else. A pause. His eyes cut sideways — just for a second. Try not to forget the lyrics.
