The day after the third performance.
Chae-ah was watching a video of yesterday's performance on Instagram on a bench in the school playground.
A scene where Flea leads the audience in a chorus without panicking on a stage that has been blacked out.
"A movie called you~ You are the main character~"

👤“It was a really awesome stageㅠㅠ”
👤“I love you, vocalist unnie!!”
👤“How can you think of turning on the audience’s lights when there’s a power outage..? Amazing quick thinking..”
Chae-ah bit her fingernails so hard that they were blistered.
"This is ridiculous... why is this ending so successfully...?"
At that moment, someone approached Chae-ah.
"Ms. Kim Chae-ah?"
"Uh... Yes? Who are you?"
"I'm the student council president and the head of the audit department at Godol University. We've already checked the CCTV footage regarding the circuit breaker incident yesterday. You'll have to come to our office for a moment."
Chae-ah's face turned pale.
"It's because the...machine broke down...!! I didn't do it on purpose...!!!!!"
The documents landed right in front of my eyes.
[Results of the audit of the Equipment Management Department - Additional disciplinary action]
▪️Ban from entering official school events due to disruptive behavior
▪️Permanent ban on entry to the auditorium
▪️Planned to be referred to the school disciplinary committee
"Uh...huh?"
"Please come with me for now."
"No!!!! There's no way!!! This is all a conspiracy!!!!"
Flea, who was watching the scene from afar, quietly exhaled.
'Chae-ah... Don't forget that it's not because of me, it's all because of you. You don't have to blame me.'

Lunch time.
Band practice room.
As I opened the door, Bambi smiled brightly, holding a camera in his hand.
"A star from Godoldae has appeared~ Yesterday's Instagram views exceeded 100,000. A Flea fan cafe has also been createdㅋㅋ"
Flea's face turned red.
"Me, me?"
"Of course. Now you're an official star of Godol University? Haha."
Yejun, who was tuning the guitar, smiled.
"And more hot news!"
Yejun showed me the messenger notification.
🗨️Yanggo University Band 'VIBE' - Collaboration Stage Proposal
Flea looked at the screen.
"Huh? A collaboration?"
"I got a call from the school next door, Yanggodae. They asked me to collaborate at the next university joint performance!"
Bambi continued speaking excitedly.
"The leader there is Yoo Ha-min. He's handsome, good at singing, and has over 500,000 Instagram followers!! He's a huge celebrity.."
“I’ve seen it a few times too! It’s famous…”
Flea muttered softly.
"Why are you worried??"
"I've only been on stage once... and since they're professionals... I'm a little worriedㅠ"
"The decision is yours. If you want to do it, go for it. If not, you can reject it."
After thinking for a moment, I nodded.
"I'll think about it for a bit."
Eunho, who was quietly finishing setting up the drums, slowly approached and spoke.
“…Okay. Do whatever you want.”
When Flea looked up, Eunho avoided his gaze.
"... Well... You're good at stage... so you'll do well on the collaboration stage too... hmm"
The voice was quieter than usual, but somehow it sounded affectionate.
Bambi stared at the favor and thought to himself.
'Oh my. Isn't that guy completely stupid? Do you really think he won't notice...?'
"Hey~ Let's go get something to eat!! Flea is buying? ☆*: .｡. o(≧▽≦)o .｡.:*☆"
"Huh? When did I meet Bambi-senpai!!!!"

But that evening.
My phone was flooded with notifications.
[Yanggodae 'VIBE' Official Instagram]
"Next stage, Bandbu Kimplee X Yoo Ha Min collaboration confirmed! Please look forward to it :)"
Flea almost dropped her phone.
"Yes??? Confirmed...?"
"What the heck, you haven't even answered me yet?! What the heck are you doing?!!?!!"
Bambi screamed while looking at the screen.
Yejun looked at the screen quietly and said.
"What is this... Wait a minute, I have to ask the sheepdogs..."
Jiying -
"What? I got a DM from Yanggodae?"
🗨️Hello, can I speak to the band's vocalist, Kim Fly, for a moment?
