A few hours earlier:
Micah stayed with the fan group until the moment they wanted to surprise Leo.
Knowing where the party and hotel were, Micah was ready to take off and change out of this girl’s clothes.
"Why don’t you stay longer?" sister Meg asked, her eyes wide and sincere. She tilted her head, her ponytail swishing slightly.
Micah put on his best apologetic smile and smoothed his long snow-white hair.
"I’d love to, but my family keeps calling. They are super strict, and I’m already pushing it."
Jacklin, sipping bubble tea, gave a thoughtful nod. "Go on. Family first."
One by one, they offered goodbyes and waves. Jacklin even gave a side hug. Micah endured it with a grimace hidden under his wig. As soon as he stepped outside the building and felt the cooler night air on his cheeks, he let out a shaky breath.
The taxi driver barely looked at him as he claimed in. "Where to?"
Micah gave the name of his hotel and slouched in the seat, opening the button of his collar now that he was out of sight. Because of that damn obvious Adam Apple, he was forced to cover up his neck, feeling choked.
