V listened  , mesmerized by her voice. There was no one at the stage this time of night. YuuA always chose to sneak in here while the others slept and would normally just listen to herself when she sang. She fussed about herself for a few minutes before resuming her singing. V had followed her here to protect her but mainly because he did not need to sleep like humans do.

"How can her voice be so full of pain and sweetness at the same time?  , he wondered. Her low tones floated in the air and planted themselves in V's ear and he could not help but close his eyes in response. There were a lot of wilting flowers left at the back of the stage and with V's happiness a lot of them began to glow and regained their vitality. Some of them began emitting beautiful smells as if they were just freshly cut except some of the have already been there for days and left untended to. V continued not noticed the blooms.

If there was anything that he would want to learn to recreate , it was this exact moment where YuuA sang IU's Through the night.

YuuA was more known for her precise and powerful dancing and was hailed as one of the best in her generation of Idols. Because of it most people forget of the sweet voice that she has always possessed. V realized the full effect that it was having on him. He remembered when White , his 3rd Talon ,  first saw that MV in Manila and listened to the same voice that saved his life in Busan all those years. YuuA , he whispered back then as he did not in this darkness of the backstage.

He was calming down once more. The urges to fight and to devour and to kill all waning as he listened. He smiled that his search has finally come to a close. He realized though that he could no longer Harvest the orb within her. It would be too much to know that her death would be by his hands. He might live but what kind of life would that be without her?

Suddenly YuuA stopped singing and V had to open his eyes.

"How long were you listening?" She asked him using the mic in her hand."You do know that I haven't perfected this song right? IU sunbaenim sounds like an angel compared to me. It is embarrassing for you to even hear it at this stage."

"Could you just please continue? I was having such a great time hearing you." V said still hiding back stage. 

YuuA moved closer to where he was hiding in the shadows and pulled him to the light of the stage where she asked him to sit nearby. 

"I will sing but only if I see what my voice does to you."

V nodded knowing that YuuA knew exactly what her voice did to him.

He closed his eyes and listened as she sang the first notes of the melody and his mind drifted once more.
