★┆Joint Special Stage – KATSEYE x ENHYPEN
The arena is packed. Lights dim. A soft intro instrumental plays as both groups prepare backstage.
KATSEYE stands together—Sophia, Manon, Daniela, Lara, Megan, Yoonchae… and you (Wonhee), adjusting your mic pack.
Across the hallway, ENHYPEN is also getting ready.

★┆Sunghoon is quietly fixing his in-ear monitor, avoiding eye contact with everyone.
Park Sunghoon ??:
“…She’s here too…”
He says it under his breath, voice soft, almost nervous.
---
Heeseung ?:
“Bro. You’ve been like this all day.”
Jake:
“You literally forgot your choreography twice.” ?
Sunoo:
“He’s gone. He’s not here mentally.”
---
★┆Sunghoon tugs his sleeves down slightly, ears faintly red.
Sunghoon:
“…I’m fine.” ?
pause
“…Just focus on stage.”
---
★┆Meanwhile—KATSEYE side.
---
Sophia ?:
“This stage is gonna be HUGE.”
Manon:
“I think I’m shaking a little.”
Megan:
“Same…” ?
---
★┆You (Wonhee) are tying your hair, calm but focused. Daniela notices you smiling slightly.
Daniela ?:
“You’re smiling weirdly. What’s up?”
---
You:
“…Nothing.” ?
---
★┆Lara leans in immediately.
Lara:
“Liar.” ?
---
★┆You glance toward the stage entrance for a second—where Sunghoon is briefly visible through the gap.
---
★┆Backstage corridor.
Sunghoon accidentally looks up at the same time.
Your eyes meet for half a second.
He immediately looks away.
---
Sunghoon (whispering to himself):
“…Calm down.” ??
---
★┆Heeseung notices.
Heeseung:
“BRO DID YOU JUST SHORT-CIRCUIT??” ?
---
★┆Stage cue starts.
Lights hit.
---
★┆MC voice:
“Welcome KATSEYE and ENHYPEN for the special collaboration stage!”
---
★┆Crowd SCREAMS.
---
★┆Performance starts—smooth, powerful choreography blending both groups.
During formations, Sunghoon keeps accidentally ending up slightly closer to your side of the stage than necessary.
