The moment the stadium lights dimmed, the entire world seemed to pause for exactly half a second.
And then—
The screaming started.
No.
"Screaming" was too weak of a word.
The entire stadium erupted like humanity had collectively lost its mind.
The ground literally vibrated beneath my feet as tens of thousands of fans exploded into deafening cheers. Lightsticks lit up the massive arena like a galaxy made of stars, glowing in synchronized waves across the darkness.
I stared around in complete disbelief.
"Dear lord," I muttered. "This place is going to collapse."
Beside me, Angel slowly lowered her hands from her ears.
"…Are concerts always this loud?"
"No," I answered honestly.
"This is just AUREA."
Because apparently normal human reactions no longer applied once those five idols entered a stage.
The giant screens suddenly flashed.
The intro music boomed through the stadium speakers.
