Chapter 5 - Look At Me, At Least For Once

‌The Em Dash will always be my favorite thing I've ever seen. You often see it in novels, comics, manga, books, and other forms of reading material. Hell, even in newspapers!

Don't ask me why I like it, I just do.

So, can I eat your ass, please?

‌‌‌‌‌‌

Y/N: "I'm pretty sure that you're not supposed to do that, Knives."

Knives: "I think... it would look... cool... on stage...!"

|Knives Chau|

|19 Years Old|

|Status: Living in the moment while battling homework.|

‌‌

Holding her stage piano as she balances herself with only her right leg on a circus ball, she somehow gets it in one try. They don't know where she got the ball, but they didn't question it.

Y/N: "Holy shit...!"

Neil: "Damn, that's hot."

Kim: "Nods... It does look cool." ‌

Stephen: "Worried... Wouldn't your back break if you keep doing that?"

Knives: "It would've been broken if I didn't practice calisthenics with my dad."

Neil: "Wow... what's your dad like by the way?"

Knives: "Ugh! We can name a few things about him... Stubborn! Annoying! Overprotective! He worries too much! He overthinks things as if he knows the future! He pesters! He stinks! And overall? I hate his guts!"

Neil: "...He sounds like a nutcase lmao."

Kim: "Confused... Who even says 'lmao' these days? Also-"

SMACK!

Stephen: "Ow! Hey!"

Kim: "Be quiet, she wasn't finished, you dunderhead."

Stephen: "But I wasn't even the one talking?!"

Kim: "Oh, I know. I'm just too lazy to get up from this seat."

Neil: "LMAO!!! HAHAHAHA!" / Stephen: "ARE YOU FUCKING SERIOUS-"

Y/N: "Presses his temples; Sighs... Knives, please continue."

Knives: "Giggles... Well, I say those bad things to him, but I can't hate him for it, to be honest."

Kim: "Why can't you?"

Knives: "Because he's still my Dad, of course... I'd be lying if I said I could do everything on my own..."

Finishing balancing herself, she drops the piano slowly to the floor as she dramatically backflips towards her friends.

Kim: "Claps... Eh, 7/10."

Neil: "I thought that backflip was great. 9.5 for me!"

Stephen: "I think it's just perfect for our next performance next Friday!"

Y/N: "Sweatdrops... Is the backflip even necessary?"

Stephen: "Whatever gets the audience riled up, I'm all for it!"

Y/N: "Whatever floats your boat, Stephen."‌

...

Y/N: "Seriously, though, is the backflip actually necessary?"

Gideon: "Hmm..."

As Gideon watches- no...

As I watch Y/N and his friends from a hidden camera have their happy moments, I've been studying him and analyzing him since the very beginning.

His food intake.

His liquid consumption.

His lifestyle.

His hobbies.

His entire being on what made Ramona Flowers so attracted to him.

Yet even his ignorance knows no bounds.

Many eyes roam towards him.

All are in the vicinity of his peers.

Y‌et even he fails to acknowledge those gazes...

Or maybe he does know but puts his ignorance as a front.

We may never know.

Pulling up multiple files on his desk, we can see familiar faces printed on each file separately.

Kim Pine.

An aloof girl who thinks of nothing but utter nonchalance.

Although that is a misconception, as she has done many things that contradict her own words.

To establish a certain person's feelings?

A way to prove to someone, perhaps?

I'll look into that later.

Julie Powers.

A loudmouth.

Mouth full of bark... but no bite.

All talk but no shit to back it up.

All glitter but no dazzle.

‌Plastic.

Stacey Pilgrim.

Normal.

Normal.

Normal.

Normal.

Easy to manipulate.

Sophie Palmer.

...

...

...

...

Lisa Miller

...

...

...

...

Hmm... No info. It's best to lie low for now and let those idiots grab whatever information they can find.

There's still a bunch more of his friends, but we don't have any info on any of them as of now.

I need to talk to one of my pets to let them know their next mission.

Gideon: "Let's see..."

Looking up through his phone, he covers his eyes to-

Gideon: "Let's pick randomly on who I should pick..."

Gideon: "Eenie (Ken Katanayagi)..."

Gideon: "‌Meenie (Lucas Lee)..."

Gideon: "‌Miney (Roxie Ritcher)..."

‌Gideon: "Moe (Kyle Katanayagi)..."

Gideon: "Who will (Todd Ingram)..."

Gideon: "Be my (Lucas Lee)..."

Gideon: "Pet (Ken Katanayagi)..."

Gideon: "This next Friday...?"

Opening his eyes, he smiles happily.

‌‌‌

(Ramona's Home)

Ramona: "You're inviting me to a concert this Friday?"

Y/N: "Yeah!"

Ramona: "Why?"

Y/N: "No reason. I just wanted to invite a friend."

Ramona: "No... any other reasons?"

Y/N: "Nah... Besides, I want you to meet my other friends as well. Whispers... Courtesy of Julie Powers."

Ramona: "Chuckles... I knew it. Fine, I'll go."

Y/N: "Great! You won't regret it! I'll pick you up this Friday, is that okay?"

Ramona: "Sure. I'll be ready by then."

Y/N: "I'll be off then. Thanks for the tea, by the way!"

Ramona: "You're welcome, I guess."

...

Ramona: "Wait..."

As Y/N almost opens the door, he looks back at her.

Y/N: "What is it, Ramona?"

Ramona: "I... I was thinking kinda... Maybe..."

Looking at his face, she shakes her head.

Ramona: "It's nothing."

Y/N: "Are you sure? Is there anything that you want me to do?"

I want you to do me...

Ramona: "Shakes her head... Like I said, it's nothing. Goodnight, Y/N."

Y/N: "Smiles... You too."

As he closed the door to her home, Ramona felt disappointed.

Not because she was expecting something out of him.

No. No. Never...

...

...

...

Ramona: "...I actually thought he was trying to ask me out."

Ramona: "I wouldn't have minded it, to be honest."

Sipping her tea, she realized one thing today.

...

He looked so adorable today too...

Sigh...

(Somewhere)

???: "Do we really have to go to this place?"

???: "Why not? Might as well join in the fun."

???: "I know that's not why you're going to this Rockit spot, Adams."

Everything about her just screams "Gorgeous" and "Fabulous".

Her hair that glides through the tips of strands. With her hair that represents the sun that shines even through dark places and crevices.

Her hair is in a ponytail, which points out the exuberance and professionalism of her being as a whole. The cute hair elastic that holds the very thing that makes her... her.

Her makeup is done well, that even somehow exaggerates more to her beauty ever before her natural appearance. Eyelashes that glint even in the smallest light that bounces off.

Red lipstick even made her more undeniably delicious, imagining a scenario where getting closer to her face and tasting a strawberry that somehow even tastes more divine than the original strawberry.

Earrings that show even the beauty of her ears, shaped and curved perfectly to her earlobes. Not even a single speck of dirt and wax can be seen!

Clothes that hug her voluptuous hourglass of a body, even more so enticing both genders with gusto and delight. Hips that don't lie. Her back is that which proclaims dominance. Her height proves itself as it wouldn't even matter if she were short.

Accessories that even highlight the way she applies herself.

Her very own being and essence that exudes divinity and beauty as if she were the Herald of Athena.

[Natalie "Envy" Adams]

[Age: Don't ask a woman her age.]

[Status: Wants to kill this person beside them.]

Envy: "You're suddenly attentive today, Ingram..."

Todd: "Can't exactly calm myself when you're so eager to go to this place for some reason."

Todd: "Come on, babe. Tell Daddy the secret that you've been holding to yourself."

Envy: "First of all, barf. Second of all, you have a girlfriend... who's not here with us for some fucking reason... Last of all, it's none of your business."

Todd: "Woah... Like the attitude~."

Envy: "Were you ever this flirtatious around someone who's not your girlfriend?"

Todd: "Whe-"

Envy: "I'm gonna stop you right there, bucko."/ Todd: "Bucko?"

Envy: "I'm not into you, okay? And do I look like I wanna be here with you right now? You're wasting my time by being here in my face, so unless you want something from me, say it. And just because we were childhood friends, doesn't mean shit, so beat it. I need to go somewhere far away from you, womanizer."

Todd: "How did you-"

Envy: "How did I know? Easy. Your dumbass thought you were slick, and you think that you can keep it a secret from your girlfriend? Even she's having doubts about your relationship."

Envy: "I saw your tiny dick waddling around when you thought you were alone. I was there drinking wine, still sober that day, wanking your shit inside to some slut from the streets."

Envy: "I didn't see her face, but I bet she was feeling disappointed when she saw your little pea."

Envy: "You closed your eyes when you were moaning, thinking you were-"

Todd: "Okay! Okay! Shut up! You win! Now go to wherever place you were going to go."

Envy: "Thanks, lil pp."

Todd: "YOU SON OF A-"

As Envy closes the door on his face, he activates his vegan power with fury.

First, he shoots a bunch of psychic blasts everywhere.

Lifting most of the furniture with his psychic powers and smashing it against the walls, floor, and ceiling.

Crushing most things he could grab and vaporizing them with his bare hands, leaving nothing but ashes.

Todd Ingram grabs a chair and smashes it with gusto and wrath.

Leaving the poor chair in a disturbing fashion of despair.

It creaks and it croaks.

It breaks and it breaks.

Leaving nothing but itself tethered in pieces, left by a furious man, gritting his teeth.

Todd Ingram screams in most possibly his rage, reaching the roof.

The glass shatters from his anger, falling to the floor, creaking and cracking from the sheer power Todd Ingram is exerting.

Todd breathes heavily and takes gasps of air before turning his head and shooting a beam towards the door.

Outside the door shows Gideon Graves aloof on his facial expression, showing no signs of fear even after seeing Todd's immaculate and immense vegan powers.

Gideon: "You're done moping around, Toddler?"

Todd: "...Go fuck yourself."

Gideon: "Grin... I have, and it was amazing."

Todd: "Sigh... What the hell do you want now? I'm busy."

Gideon: "Busy...? Busy being a prissy little pissy bitch. All I see is you being busy over some pussy, who might I ask; is a hunk full of shit filled with the extract of an expired corpse and a pinch... of being a fucking slut."

Gideon: "Neither exclusive nor there is extravagant about this... thing that you keep strangling for some sexual intercourse in the bed."

Todd: "If you've come to try and piss me off, then you're deadass right on the right track to anger me with all of those words coming out of your fucking mouth."

...

...

...

Gideon: "Amused... Oh? You're threatening... me?"

Gideon: "HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!"

Gideon: "OH MY FUCKING GOD! YOU'RE CRACKING ME UP! HAHAHAHA!"

Gideon: "Please! Enlighten me, really, and show me what you're made of."

...

Todd: "..."

Gideon: "Can't do it, huh?"

...

Gideon: "We all know how it ends. The winner was already decided."

...

Gideon: "Me."

Todd: "Tch...!"

Gideon: "Now... Be a dog, bow down and kiss my feet, will you?"

Todd, hesitant to comply, begrudgingly and slowly goes to bow down to Gideon, kissing his shoes with disgust.

Gideon: "Good boy~... Your father would've been so disgusted by you if he had ever seen you groveling like this.

Gideon: "Now that would be delightful to see, no?"

Patting his head with appreciation, suddenly grabs a lock of Todd's hair tightly.

Gideon: "I came here to announce to you and you only."

Kicking Todd's face, he talks while gleefully kicking him.

Gideon: "This! Y/N that we-! I'm sorry! That I-! Have been stalking when they met our-! Sorry-! My! Precious Ramona Flowers~!"

Gideon kicks Todd again, earning him a groan and also earning him a sight to see.

A bleeding and helpless dog struggling to breathe, before continuing to kick harder, faster, and more accurately at the vital parts of his body.

Gideon: "So I want you-! To go-! Over to this-! Rockit-! Place-! And bluntly embarrass him to his face! Oh! So-! Little friend group! And to the PUBLIC!!!"

Gideon: "Beat him to death as well! It would be a sight to see!"

Todd: "Guggh!"

Gideon exhales as he relishes his job well done, slinking his hair backwards.

Gideon: "I'll be expecting you when you finish your job. Don't fail me now, Little Toddler."

Walking away, he happily strides and goes off to who knows where, leaving Todd a mess on the ground while whistling a happy tune.

...

...

...

Todd sobs as he grits his teeth with frustration.

Frustrated at his inability to fight back.

Frustrated at his helplessness.

Frustrated with himself.

Weak to even move, he cries silently.

Alone.

Alone. Again.

...

Wallace: "Man, that was a good porn video!"

Y/N: ༎ຶ⁠‿⁠༎ຶ

Wallace: "Now I gotta tell you, that man on the video did that other guy dirty! But he still liked it in the end! In the butt! Hahaha!"

...

Wallace: "So uh... Can I peg you-"

Sophie: "Wallace."

Wallace: "Oh! Hey Sophie! Y/N and I were just hanging out doing guy stuff, isn't that right, my boy?"

Y/N: "You were leaking in your pants..."

Wallace: "Am I? Or are you?"

(Insert Cum Magic, search it on YouTube)

Y/N: "Gah! WHAT THE FUCK??!!"

Sophie: "HOLY SHIT YOU HAVE CUM IN YOUR MOUTH! SO YOU ARE GAY!!!"

Wallace: "HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA-"

Pope Francis: "And now I pronounce you, Husband and Husband."

Wallace: "YAY!!!"

Y/N: "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO-"

...

Wallace: "Hey! Wake up!"

Y/N: "AAAAAHHHHHH!!"/Wallace: "AAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!"

Sophie: "AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!! Hahaha!"

.

.

.

Sophie: "Why are we screaming again?"

Wallace: "Dunno, he started it."

Y/N: "...Please stay ten feet away from me from now on."

Wallace: "??? What did I do?"

Y/N: "Nothing! Nothing...!"

He scrambles away an exactly ten feet away from Wallace.

Y/N: "Nothing at all..."

Wallace looks at Sophie, on what the actual fuck is happening.

Sophie shrugs it off before having an 'Oh! I just remembered!' expression.

Sophie: "Oh yeah! Wallace, you coming to join this evening?"

Wallace: "Curious...What for?"

Sophie: "It's Stephen's gig tonight at the Rockit place!"

Wallace: "That Rockit place?"

Sophie: "Yeah!"

Wallace: "I'll pass."

Sophie: "Wha- Why?!"

Wallace: "Because I'm having someone at my place tonight as well."

Sophie: "Aww man... Y/N also wanted to invite you to watch the gig, but I guess if you're fine with it..."

Y/N: "Oi, don't lump me into your sentence. I didn't do squat."

Wallace: "Aww... How sweet of you to do, Y/N! I might just wanna eat you up~."/ Y/N: "Yeah, please don't."

Wallace: "But alas! I can't."

Sophie: "But whyyyyyyy- We actually need you there!"

Wallace: "Does the Rockit place have any handsome guys in there?"

Sophie: "Well... There's Y/N-"

Wallace: "He doesn't count."/ Y/N: "No, I'm actually ugly as fuck."

Sophie: "Ugh! You're so humble, Y/N! [(Y/N): "Me?"] Our friends are there! That's something, right?"

Wallace: "Sigh... Oh, you adorable Sophie. It's admirable that you say that!"

Sophie: "So you are coming-!"

Wallace: "But the answer is still a flat no."

Sophie: "What?!"

Wallace: "Oh, my sweet little baby girl."/ Sophie: "I'm not little."

Wallace: "There's a reason why I really can't go with you guys today..."

Y/N: "Curious... What is it?"

Wallace: "Blushes while rubbing his right arm..."

Y/N: "Woah, that's a new expression I've seen from you today."

Wallace: "Shut it."

Sophie: "Come on! Tell us what it is!"

Wallace: "Whispers... I... h..v.. d..t.. t..n..h..t"

Sophie: "Huh?"/ Y/N: "Huh?"

Wallace: "I said I have a date tonight, GODDAMMIT! You have a problem with that?!"

...

...

...

Silence ensues before Sophie squeals.

Sophie: "AAAAAHHHHHHHH!"

Wild Sophie tackles Wallace into a tight, crushing hug!

It's super effective!

Wallace: "GHK! Sophie...! You're choking me...!"

Sophie: "Good."

Wallace: "Y/N! Help me...!"

Y/N: "Like I said... Ten feet away."

Wallace: "I'll stop bothering you for a week-"

Y/N: "Alright, Sophie, you gotta let go now."

...

Y/N: "Sophie?"

Sophie: "No. Don't wanna."

Y/N: "Sophie."

Sophie: "No means no."

Y/N grabs hold of her, trying to yank her off Wallace before he suffocates.

Y/N: "Let go of him! You're actually going to kill him!"

Sophie: "NO! I need to give my bestie a hug for 10 hours!"

Wallace: "Yeahck- just ignorchk me ovevkr herechk-!/ Y/N: "10 HOURS?! We'll be late at the Rockit by then!"

GRAB!

GRAB!

Y/N: "JUST-! LET-! GO-!"

...

...

...

After finally yoinking her out of Wallace...

Wallace: "...I always forget that you have one hell of a grip there, Palmer."

Sophie: "Thanks! Been practicing how to lock someone down if I ever get in a pinch."

Wallace: "I wonder where you'll grip someone that hard next..."

Wallace: "Like pinning them down somewhere private..."

He turns and stares at Y/N, insinuating something.

Y/N: "...Why are you looking at me like that?"

Wallace: "Sigh... So dense."

Sophie: "I know. That's just how he is. It's cute."

Wallace: "Shakes his head... What do you even see in him..."

...

Looking at the clock...

Wallace: "Aren't you guys supposed to be at the Rockit place by now?"

Sophie: "Gasp... Why didn't you say anything earlier?!"

Sophie grabs Y/N by the collar.

Sophie: "Come on! We gotta go now!"

Y/N: "I can walk, Sophie! I can wAAAALKKKKKKK!!"

Wallace: "Bring back souvenirs if you can!"

...

Wallace, after seeing them go, sighs.

Wallace: "You got competition, Sophie... You got competition."

(ROCKIT ENTRANCE)

Sophie: "Heavy breathing... Sorry, we're late, guys. Had to drag Y/N's sorry butt."

Kim: "Is he okay? He looks dead for some reason?"

Y/N groans as his body aches all over.

Neil: "Oh! It's just one of those bits where they're actually pretending to be dead! And then they- BAM! Scare people half to death."

Stephen: "Or it could be because someone dragged him and let him get scraped off the damn floor..."

Knives: "Jeez... He looks like my Great Great Uncle when he was smoking pot and immediately went to touch kids to experiment with the duality of morality..."

...

Everyone slowly turns to stare at her, their faces questioning her. Even Y/N had to turn his head, even if it hurt.

Knives: "Hey! Don't look at me like that! He was just weird and creepy. He didn't actually do all those bad things- Maybe- A lil- I don't know..."

Kim: "...Knives's weird Uncle aside, we're glad you came."

Neil: "Facts. We didn't want you guys to miss out on the fun."/ Stephen: "Weren't you guys bad-mouthing them a couple of minutes ago?"

Sophie: "Oh man! I can't wait to see you guys perform!"

Stephen: "When the time comes for our turn to shine, I hope you can still continue to support us, boss."

Y/N finally standing up and not acting like a total bitch as if he hasn't experienced pain lmao.

Y/N: "Please don't call me that, Stephen. We're friends now and that ain't changing- Unless you piss me off."

Stephen: "Oh..."

Y/N: "Hah! I'm just messing with you."

Y/N: "Handshake?"

Stephen: "Hell yeah."

Neil: "Handshake? Oh! I wanna join too!"

(Imagine the most gayest handshake that you've ever seen)

Y/N/Stephen/Neil: "Yay!"

Looking at the three idiots, Knives, Sophie, and Kim look at them in disbelief.

Knives: "Did you guys memorize that before?"

Stephen: "We didn't. We somehow knew what we were doing...?"

Y/N: "It's actually because we're that awesome, ain't that right, boys?"

Neil: "My man."/ Stephen: "Yes sirrrrrr!"

Knives: "Woah! That's so cool!"

Sophie: "We should have our handshake that beats those guys' handshake!"

Knives: "That we must!"

Neil: "What about you, Kim? What did you think of our awesome connection?"

Kim: "That was the gayest 3-way handshake I've ever seen in my entire life."

Y/N: "Oh, come on! It was cool!"

Suddenly, the entrance of the Rockit opens.

Stage Manager: "Are you Sex Bob-Omb by any chance?"

Stephen: "Just us four."

Stage Manager: "Okay... And those two?"

Stephen: "Just our friends who came to see us perform."

Stage Manager: "Okay then, your turn starts in 10 minutes. Get ready now."

He closes the entrance door.

...

Stage Manager: "Opens the entrance... WHY ARE YOU STILL HERE?! GET INSIDE! It's freezing out here!"

...

After getting inside, Sophie and Y/N split off from the group to find their seats.

Y/N goes to find their seats as Sophie goes to buy themselves a drink.

Lo and behold, it's in the center top.

Sitting down, he exhales and relaxes, slouching to his "seat".

Y/N: "Oh... this is a nice chair."

Julie: "You like sitting on my thighs, huh?"

Y/N: "AH!"

Jumping out of his "seat", he turns swiftly to see Julie Powers in his seat, sitting before crossing her legs into a Figure Four-Lock; leaning her head to her right hand, looking at him menacingly and... devotion?

Julie: "I see that you're into that kind of thing, huh?"

Y/N: "W-What are you doing in my seat?"

Julie: "Isn't it obvious? It's mine, and yours is right next to me."

Y/N: "But that doesn't-"

Looking at the chair that Julie was pointing at, it was right next to her.

There's a name engraved into the seat that says "Y/N".

Y/N: "That's... Very convenient..."

Julie: "I know, right? Now strap in. The show is about to start."

Y/N: "I'm still waiting for Sophie to get our drinks-"

Julie: "She'll be fine, her seat is right behind you, so there's no need."

Y/N: "Oh, cool!"

What he didn't know was that the chair of "his" was made by the perpetrator, Julie Powers.

She made that chair for him, just so she could sit next to him and inhale his essence-

Ramona: "I hope I'm not too late."

Turning their heads, Ramona Flowers appears once again!

Sitting to the right of Y/N, she greets them with friendliness and... love?

Ramona: "Hey guys."

Y/N: "Yahallo."

Julie: "Ramona! How have you been?"

Ramona: "I'm great, thank you for asking."

Julie: "What brings you here today?"

Ramona: "Oh, I was invited by this guy, he said I needed to go out more... Which is kinda stupid for him to say since I do go out every day. He's so stupid sometimes."

Julie slowly turns to Y/N, staring at him with... anger?

Julie: "You don't say...?"

Y/N: "What? You did say to invite our friends. Ramona's already one of us, no?"

Julie: "I didn't mean every FUCKING one... I did!, didn't I? Sorry, I must've forgotten."

Sophie: "Hey, Julie! Hey, Ramona! Hey, Y/N! Here's your drink."

Y/N: "Thank you."

Julie: "Hey Sophie, can you also grab me and Ramona some drinks too?"

Ramona: "Oh no, it's fine, there's no need-"/ Sophie: "Thumbs up... You got it!"

As Sophie walks away to get more drinks, the concert is finally starting...

...

...

(10 minutes ago)

Neil: "Oh man! I'm so nervous! My hands are literally shaking!"

Knives: "Me too! But I'm also exciiiiteeeeedd!"

Stephen: "Exhale... Inhale... Exhale..."

Kim: "I can't even take you guys seriously..."

Knives side-hugs Kim and puts her right arm over her shoulder.

Knives: "Lighten up, Kim! We're going to win this and show them who's... bosses?"

Kim: "You should go and tell those words to those idiots."

Neil: "I'm going to freak out and imagine all of them naked- Wait, no! That's just weird!/ Stephen: "RRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!"

Knives: "Will do, Captain Kimberly!"

Kim: "Please, don't call me that again."

Knives just sticks out her tongue while doing a face to Kim before going to confront the crazy duo.

Stephen: "Hey, Knives."

Knives: "Hey-"

Neil: "Go back to the Temu Factory, you wretched waste of Child Labor!"

Knives: "I'm going to beat your butt, motherflippers!"

Neil: "Wait! No- I was joking-! I yield! I yield! AAAAAAHHHHHHH-!"

Stephen: "Wait-! I didn't even do anything-! AAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!"

...

Kim: "Sigh... They weren't always like this...

Somehow, they turned for the better and aren't always so negative or stupid...

Well, they're stupider now but...

At least they know what to do and have fun at the end of it.

It's because of you...

Opening the stage curtains a little, she looks over to you, talking to Julie, Sophie, and the new girl.

Kim: "..."

As the lights dim...

(Insert Behind The Gates by Yungatita)

Knives: We held each other in the dark,

The rain and heat and

The miles add up and we haven't seen any peace of mind

Can it really be that bad?

I wanna reach the promised land

Behind the gates.

As Kim drums her way, she can't help but still look at Y/N even at this moment.

Wanting him to at least look at her.

Not to get his attention.

It was never about that. It never was.

Hell, even a glance would've been okay.

Knives: Held each other in the dark,

No space to move and

Can't help to think if we will ever find any peace of mind

Can it really be that bad?

Is this really our promised land?

The crowd vibes as they sway and move along the beat, dancing with smiles on their faces. Some are even dancing with their partners whilst they ignore all their surroundings as they only focus on each other.

Knives: Behind the gates

Behind the gates

But it didn't matter in the end.

It all ends for nought.

Because no matter how much she tries...

Because no matter how many times she tries...

He'll still be there.

But will never be there for her...

She drums away as if it were her last time.

And we won't ever feel the pain that comes with letting it all go

I hate it when I'm like this...

I can't imagine we came all this way to hear them tell us no, no, no

It's... stupid.

Not because of you

But because of me.

I ask myself if there will be a time when it would be fine.

But it just... hurts.
