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.

Jacklin, sipping bubble tea, gave a thoughtful nod. "Go on. Family first."
