Although J-Hope once again admitted that he was terrified of the upcoming performance, he gave his absolute all to preparing the stage.

Preparing an hour-long show with me front and center was just one dread-filled moment after another,

and I whipped myself forward as hard as I could, again and again, to practice for the show.

Most of all, preparing every detail with so much attention and care made me learn along the way about who I really am.
