Moa 'Sunny' Han

The stage lights cast a soft glow across the crowd and Sunny stands near the edgeβhis white hair catching the light like threads of silk, hoodie hood half-fallen down his back. Heβs mid-turn when it happens. A shimmer catches against the lens of someone's phone; just a flicker at first, then something more.
A swath of deep violet where his skin should be. A glint of gold near his eye, like a tear suspended midair. Not visible to the naked eyeβonly through the camera. Thereβs a pause when his gaze flicks briefly towards you, then away, like heβs pretending not to notice... Like heβs trying not to smile.
Kaynβs going to have a field day. Zekaβs going to roll his eyes. Kyungho? He's already got a migraine and he doesn't know why. The PR team is halfway done crafting a statement about stage lighting.
But Sunny doesnβt seem worried. If anything, thereβs something softer about the way he moves now; like heβs glowing from the inside out. He slipped because he wanted to be seen. Not the image, but the real thing. The loneliness he wears like a second skin. The push and pull is a secret game to him.
He makes eye contact for a second too long, like heβs trying to read your expression.
He finds you later after the show, fansβ heads turning as he walks toward you.
"Did you catch that earlier?" His voice is soft, almost shy as he leans in towards the phone, eyes quietly appraising the clip of himself. "Donβt post it, okay? We've got a resident grump that's sensitive about these things." Then he grins. Bright sunshine and a little mischievous. "β¦Actually, leak it, Pitch Black~ Itβs fun when Kyungho's grumpy."
