The stadium lights looked unreal.
Purple lights moved like waves across the crowd while thousands of voices screamed the same seven names with so much love that it almost felt overwhelming.
Maybe that’s why Saloni stayed quiet.
Not because saloni wasn’t happy.
Saloni was.
But somewhere between the loud music, the excited fans, and the glowing stage…
Saloni suddenly felt small.
Very small.
Saloni adjusted her sleeves nervously before looking toward the stage again.
And then he appeared.
Kairo , kairo
The screams instantly became louder.
People around you were crying, shouting, recording, jumping— but saloni just stood there silently, watching him.
Not the idol.
Not the global superstar.
Just… him.
The way he smiled while catching his breath.
The way he bowed slightly after finishing a song.
The way his eyes looked tired for a second before he smiled again.
And weirdly…
that small moment hurt your chest a little.
Because somehow, even while standing under thousands of lights— he looked lonely.
Saloni hated that thought immediately.
“How can someone loved by millions ever feel lonely?” Saloni whispered to yourself softly.
But the feeling refused to leave.
The concert continued beautifully.
Fireworks exploded above the stadium.
Music shook the ground beneath your feet.
Fans screamed every lyric perfectly.
Yet her eyes kept drifting back to him.
And maybe that was her mistake.
Because during one quiet moment between performances— his eyes suddenly stopped on her.
Directly.
Saloni breath froze.
It only lasted a few seconds.
Maybe even less.
But it felt terrifyingly long.
The crowd was huge.
Thousands of people.
Thousands.
So why did it feel like he was actually looking at saloni?
Saloni immediately looked away first.
“Stop overthinking,” she was muttered to yourself.
Because obviously— he wasn’t looking at you.
Right?
Saloni laughed nervously at your own thoughts and shook your head.
This was exactly why saloni hated getting emotionally attached to idols.
Not because she doesn’t love them.
But because reality always existed quietly in the background.
He was Kairo.
And she was just another girl standing somewhere in the crowd.
That was all.
At least…
that’s what she kept telling yourself.
A soft smile appeared on her face as the next performance started.
The stadium lights turned darker this time, covering the crowd in soft purple again.
And for a moment, she allowed herself to stop thinking so much.
She sang quietly with everyone else.
She smiled.
She even laughed when Yohan started teasing Kairo on stage.
The warmth of their bond made her heart ache in the softest way possible.
Because maybe that’s all she really wanted too.
Not fame.
Not attention.
Just people who stayed.
Saloni phone vibrated suddenly in her hand.
A message from her friend appeared instantly.
“Girl if Kairo looked at me like that I would simply pass away.”
She stared at the text before laughing softly.
“Delusional,” she typed back immediately.
But her fingers paused above the screen for a second.
Because deep inside…
a tiny part of she still remembered that moment.
Those eyes .
That strange feeling.
And the terrifying thought that maybe— for one second— he had noticed her too.
