"See, it wasn't a big deal~" Sarah said beside me.
Her voice was light and almost playful.
Almost as if what had just happened was nothing more than a small errand.
I was sitting in the main room, leaning back slightly.
I gulped down water as if I had crossed a desert instead of standing on a balcony.
The cool liquid slid down my throat, refreshing my throat from how long I talked.
My chest slowly rose and fell as the tension finally began to loosen.
I nodded at her, setting the cup down and letting out a breath.
"Truth be told," I said honestly, glancing up at Sarah,
"It was my first time standing in front of such a huge crowd."
Sarah tilted her head, clearly amused, and smiled.
As if what I'd said was the most adorable thing in the world.
From the corner of the room, Aria had been quietly watching us.
She didn't interrupt right away. Instead, she smiled calmly.
And then walked over. Her steps were soft, almost silent.
