"You got to be fucking kidding me" Said manager kim while looking out the window with a pissed face at the traffic and punched the horn.
*BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP*
"GO YOU MOTHERFUCKERS I HAVE PLACES TO BE." Said manager kim screaming at the top of his lungs and punched the horn again.
*BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP*
"Stop screaming I'm trying to concentrate." I said calmly out of nowhere from the backseat with an annoyed expression while scrolling on my laptop that is in my lap.
Manager kim sighed and stared out the front window at the traffic and said "I wouldn't be so pissed if I knew beforehand that california's traffic was this bad."
I looked up from my laptop, out the window and seen the traffic and said with a tired sigh "I hope we aren't late for the grammys."
"Me too but it seems like it might be inevitable." Said manager kim with a loud sigh too while rubbing his forehead that is covered in a little bit of sweat from the nonstop stress that he knows is bad for his health.
I nodded at what he said and looked back down at my laptop that had the folders of my lawsuit's open, but to be honest I can give zero fucks about my scandal with taeyeon because the main thing I'm worried about is how to make my bank account full which as you've seen so far has been looking good and I'm not going to let anyone jeopardize that.
"Hahaha he actually thought he was going to get the rights to my song how funny, instead you end up losing 80 million " I thought with a chuckle while scrolling on my my laptop and seen that sm entertainment came to an agreement with the judge and agreed to pay 120,050,050 which is a large half that I wasn't hoping for considering what they put me through.
I sighed again and closed the laptop and put it in my bag that was next to me, only to hear the notification of my phone go off.
I grabbed my phone out of my bag and seen I got a notification from my bank stating that I had 80 million and 120,050,050 deposited to it making the total 310,963,084 which made me smile happily and look up and looked straight out the window and seen we weren't in traffic anymore and asked calmly "Where are we."
"Haha, you we're so focused back there that we are almost at our destination." Said manager kim laughing happily while turning the steering wheel.
I laughed a little too and looked back out the window and seen a lot of people with their phones out ready like they were ready to record or take pictures and then looked at the ground and seen a red carpet and thought "I guess we've arrived."
"Finally we've arrived." Said manager kim while pulling into the line behind 4 cars.
"I also guess im a little late." I said calmly, obviously not really caring since the grammys tried to waste my money I spent on stage customization and the only reason they are still letting me come is because they don't want too pay me.
"Yes your late." Said manager kim in the background with a sigh while pulling the car up a little.
"Should we go through the back entrance because the red carpet is a waste of my time." I said while looking at the huge paparazzi taking photos of celebrities I don't even know.
Manager kim thought for a moment and nodded and whipped the car around the others and started driving towards the back of the huge building.
TIMESKIP: a couple minutes later.
I was currently making my way through the backstage with my three bodyguards and manager kim who is in front of me to make sure nothing happens to me and in case your wondering he is by no means short at all with him being about a sharp 6'0 tall.
I manuverd around the the team of workers that was operating backstage while dusting off my all black outfit which was a asos designed cropped lace dressy set with black shades and dress shoes an a expensive chain necklace with two expensive rings on each hands and a expensive braclet on my my right one and my usual hairstyle and piercings, to make sure I was presentable, only for a middle aged man step in front of manager kim, blocking his path and said "I will lead you to your seat mr tae, this way please."
I nodded calmly along with manager kim and started following the man who looked to be a security guard and seen the exit from the backstage with all types of bigshots sitting in their assigned seats and listening to the presenters making jokes about all types of things and waved my left hand at my bodyguards which meant for them to do their own thing until the end of the ceremony and continued to follow the security guard to my seat.
As I was following the security guard to my seat, passing by countless celebrities who who were laughing at the presenters joke while some got a little angry probably because the shade was directed at them.
I arrived at my seat and seen the one and only taylor swift talking to selena gomez, but didn't care and sat down in it that just so happened to be coincidentally in the front row and crossed my legs while manager kim also took his seat between me and taylor which the grammys probably did so their wouldn't be drama, not like they aren't trying to escalate any if you catch the sarcasticness in what I'm saying just by how the seating order was arranged.
"Here." Said manager kim with his hand extended that had a microphone in it.
I grabbed the microphone and hid it in my arms, just in case a cameraman passes
by to take pictures and started listening to tony bennet talk on stage about his past experiences, like managing his father and about his duets II album.
While I was listening to tony bennet speak, I kept seeing something on the left side of my peripheral vision moving up and down and looked and seen a blurry dark skinned woman was moving her hand up and down trying to get my attention four seats down and leaned forward a little to get a better look but seen the blurry woman stopped and just turned my attention back towards the legendary tony bennet who was still talking about his past with a reminiscing smile on his face.
"Excuse me." Said a voice out of nowhere, next to me.
I looked next to myself, at the person who called out to me and was surprised on the inside because it was jay z and looked next to him and seen beyonce watching tony bennet with a emotional look on her face and asked calmly "What is it."
"Rihanna was trying to get your attention." Said jay z while pointing at the blurry woman four seats down.
I paused for a moment to process what he said and asked with a confused face "Who."
"Rihanna." Said jay z with a confused face, wondering if me and her met before.
"What do....." I said, only to be interrupted.
"OHHHHHH, AHHHHHH, OHHHHHHHH, OHHHHHH, AHHHHHH, OHHHHOOOO." Said the background singers in sync, going up and down on the registers, holding the notes midway, with a drum beat coming in.
I immediately looked at manager, only for our eyes to meet and him to shrug, not knowing what is going on which wasn't caught on camera only me talking to jay z was.
Suddenly the drum beat smoothly faded out and a soothing piano melody suddenly took over.
I put the microphone that was hidden in my arms by my mouth and said loudly, immediately getting into my performing mindset "GRAMMYS HOW ARE WE DOING TONIGHT, AYYYY."
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHH L." Said my fans in the audience screaming madly with some celebrities getting hyped too.
"Grammys, I wanna hear you sing this song with me right now." I said calmly with a smile while getting up from my seat which shocked jay z, beyonce, taylor, selena, rihanna and especially tony bennet who is still in standing on the stage, by the sudden turn of events and possibly some more celebrities.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH." Said my fans and some celebrities screaming madly in the audience.
Suddenly the slow soothing piano melody restarted.
I opend my closed eyes and took a deep breath and said singing in a breathy voice with my eyes squinted, with no notes, while doing gestures with my left hand "Guess it's true, I'm not good at a one-nightstand."
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH L I LOVE YOU." Said my fans in the audience in sync screaming crazily and madly.
"But I still need love cause I'm just a man." I said singing in a breathy voice, holding the notes a little while walking down the walkway a little while beyonce had a surprised look while watching me.
"These nights never seem to go to plan." I said with an emotional face singing in a breathy voice and going higher in the register into my head voice a little but went back down the register with control, with no notes.
My fans in the audience were going crazy and screaming which made some of the celebrities bodyguards come forward in case something happens.
"I don't want you to leave, will you hold my hand." I said singing in a breathy voice, holding the notes a little, with my left hand reached out to the camera that is recording live.
"Sing, oh won't you." I said singing going up in the register a little bit, with no notes, with my arms slowly rising with the microphone in right hand pointing towards the audience.
"STAY WITH ME." Said the background singers in sync with the audience, holding the notes mididway.
"Cause your." I said singing in a breathy voice, with no notes while spreading my left arm with a smile.
"ALL I NEED." Said the background singers in sync, holding the notes midway.
"THIS AINT LOVE, ITS CLEAR TO SEE, HA." I said singing in a high register but went back down, holding the notes a little with a pleased smile.
"But darlin." I said singing, with no notes.
"Stay with me." Said me and the background singers in sync, holding the notes a little,
"Grammys, let me see your hands, ayy." I Said with a wide smile that showed my straight white teeth while grooving side to side as the the drum beat came back in.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH." Said the audience screaming crazilly.
"Mhm yeah, why am I so emotional." I said singing, with no notes, doing gestures with left hand while walking slowly down the walkway by the stage, making the fans and celebrities stand up from their seats and groove.
"No, it's not a good look, gain some self control." I said singing, going up and back down playing with the registers a little with a smile while looking at the celebrities I pass by, with no notes.
"DEEP DOWN, I know this never works." I said singing in my head voice but went back down my normal register, holding the notes a little.
"But you can lay with me so it doesn't hurt." I said singing, with no notes, gesturing to myself with my left hand.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHH L I LOVE YOU." Said some of my fans in the audience screaming madly.
"Now won't you." I said singing going up in the register a little bit, with no notes, gesturing at the audience with my left hand.
"STAY WITH ME." Said me and the background singers in a high register in sync, holding the notes midway.
"Cause your." Said me and the background singers in sync, holding the notes a little, gesturing towards the audience on my left.
"ALL I NEED." Said me and the background singers in sync, holding the notes midway.
"THIS AINT LOVE, ITS CLEAR TO SEE." I Said singing in a high register but went back down, with a little notes, with my eyes closed feeling the song while making my way back to where my seat was.
"But darlin." I said singing, with no notes, while gesturing towards the audience with a smile.
"Stay with me." Said me and the background singers in sync, holding the notes a little.
"OOHHHHHHHH." Said me and the background singers in sync, holding the notes longly.
"OHHHHHH, AHHHHHH, OHHHHHHHH, OHHHHHH, AHHHHHH, OHHHHOOOO." Said the background singers sync, going up and down on the registers, holding the notes midway while i was grooving back and forth making the audience groove.
"OOHHHHHHHH" I said singing in a high register, holding the notes longly while moving the microphone away from my mouth.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH." Said audience screaming madly.
"Now won't you." I said singing going up in the register a little bit, with no notes.
"STAY WITH ME." Said me and the background singers in sync, holding the notes a little.
"Cause your." I said in my normal voice with a smile while passing by rihanna who waved at me with a smile which I did in return.
"ALL I NEED." I Said singing in a very high register with no notes.
"THIS AINT LOVE, ITS CLEAR TO SEE." I Said singing in a very high register but went back down, with a little notes, with my eyes closed feeling the song while making my way back to where my seat was.
I stopped in front of where my seat was and smiled and said singing in a breathy voice, holding the notes longly but slowly with my arm slowly open with my notes "But darlin, stay with me."
Suddenly a guitar beat came in with the other beats fading out smoothly, making the audience shocked and started cheering even more madly.
"Now, he can be a sinner, or a gentleman." I said singing in a soft voice, holding the notes a little while slowly passing by beyonce, jay z, taylor who was grooving hard and selena.
"He can be a preacher, when your soul is damned." I said singing, holding the notes a little while continuing my way towards my stage.
"He could be a lawyer on a witness stand." I said singing, holding the notes a little longer while gesturing towards a male celebrity who just laughed.
"But, he'll never love you like I can, can." I said singing with a smile while patting the man on his shoulder a little, holding the notes a little and started walking up the stairs of my stage.
I arrived on stage and said singing, holding the notes a little "He could be a stranger you gave a second glance."
"He could be a trophy of a one night stand." I said singing going higher in the register while holding the notes a little and looking at everyone I could in the audience, even spotting prince who was grooving side to side and aretha franklin who was sitting down watching me while clapping her hands together.
I walked to the left side of the stage and said singing, holding the notes midway "He could have your humor, but I don't understand."
"Cause he'll never love like I can, can, can, say." I said singing, with no notes with a smile and grooving side to side while gripping my crotch area.
A drum beat suddenly came in, making the audience sance wildly.
"WHY ARE YOU LOOKING DOWN ALL THE WRONG ROADS." I said singing in a high register, holding the notes a little while waving at some female fans who fainted from my attention.
"When mine is the heart and the salt of the soul." I said singing with a pained face and my hand on my chest, with no notes.
"THERE MAY BE LOVERS WHO HOLD OUT THEIR HANDS." I said singing in a high register with a clean register flip, holding the notes longly, while slowly moving the microphone away from my mouth with my head raised upwards.
I slowly brought the microphone back up to my mouth and said singing with emotion, with no notes "But."
"HE'LL NEVER LOVE YOU LIKE I CAN, CAN, CAN." Said the background singers in sync, with no notes, causing a echo affect, with the beat stopping on point.
I looked at the background singers with a smile and gestured towards them with my right hand.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH." Said the audience screaming madly.
I smiled and said calmly with a smile and my left hand on my chest "Thank you everyone, thank you so much."
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH." Said the audience screaming madly.
"Before I end this performance, I would like to sing a little song from my new album L's story part 3 to my fans who have been faithful and supportive to me throughout my career so for those who have been burning with happiness, sadness, fear, anger, surprise, or even disgust this one is for you" I said calmly while looking at the pianist, Indicating for him to start.
The male pianist started playing, with a slow piano melody coming in which made my fans in the audience start cheering loudly.
"I've been burning, yes I've been burning." I said singing in a breathy voice, holding the notes a little.
I looked in the front row of the audience where most of the famous celebrities are seated and walked back to the middle of the stage and said singing in a breathy voice, holding the notes midway "Such a burden, this flame on my chest."
"No insurance, to pay for the damage." I said singing in a breathy voice, rising slightly in the register with no notes.
I looked down at the ground and said singing in a breathy voice with a serious face which strangely reminded me of taeyeon, holding the notes a little "Yeah I've been burning, up since you left."
"I've been smoking, oh, more than twenty a day." I said singing in my normal register, holding the notes a little while gesturing with my left hand habitually.
"Blame it on rebellion, don't blame it on me." I said singing in my normal register with little register stops, holding the notes a little.
I pointed at a random person in the audience and said singing in my normal register with no notes "wish I was younger, back to the nineteenth of may."
"I had and opened mind, swore to never change." I said singing in my normal register, holding the notes a little.
I did the shoo motion with my left hand and said singing in a breathy voice with no notes "Funny how time goes by."
"Had respect for myself." I said singing in a breathy voice with no notes while gesturing towards myself.
I looked to the right audience and said singing in a breathy voice, holding the notes a little "That river ran dry.
"You reached the limit." I said singing going up a regjster little bit with a intense face which made the audience stop grooving and watch with emotional faces like they could feel my pain and grief, holding the notes a little.
I shook my head with emotional watery eyes while looking at the audience even catching beyonce and aretha franklin wiping their eyes a little, not to mess their makeup up and brought the microphone back up to my mouth and said singing in a slight low register with a slight glodel stop with no notes "I wasn't enough."
"It's like the fire replaced all the love." I said singing in my normal register, holding the notes a little.
"I've been burning, yes I've been burning." I said singing in my normal register while looking looking around at different people in the audience, holding the notes a little.
"Such a burden, this flame on my chest." I said singing in my normal register, holding the notes a little while walking to left side of the stage.
"No insurance, to pay for the damage." I said singing in my head voice a little while decending back down the register smoothly to my normal register with no notes while waving at my fans with a smile who almost fainted from my attention.
I squated and reached my hand out at my fans who immediately started reaching their hands out to try and touch mines and said singing in my normal register, holding the notes a little "Yeah, I've been burning up since you left."
I got up from my squatting position and went back to the the middle of the stage and said singing in a high breathy voice, holding the notes midway "Oh, have you ever called I will burst straight back."
"Give you my forgiveness and the shirt off my back." I said singing in a slight higher register with no notes.
I looked around in at the audience with tears almost streaming from my eyes and gestured towards them and said singing in my normal register, holding the notes midway "No friends to turn to, yeah, I messed up that."
"Wish we could smoke again just for a day." I said singing in a slightly lower register with the microphone slowly leaving my mouth, holding the notes midway.
I wiped my eyes a little and took a breath and brought the microphone back up to my mouth and said singing in a slightly higher register "Funny how time goes by."
"Have respect for my self." I said singing going up another register slightly, holding the notes midway while looking around at the audience.
I pointed at rihanna and said singing in my normal register with register flips ascending down, holding the notes shortly "That river ran dry
"You reached the limit." I said singing in my normal register with register flips, holding the notes shortly while gesturing at taylor who looked entranced.
"I WASN'T ENOUGH." I said singing in a high register while looking at taylor, holding the notes shortly.
"ITS LIKE THE FIRE REPLACED ALL THE LOVE." I said singing in a very high register in my head voice with my head tilted up a little and my arms spread opened that was a b4 and ascended even higher successfully hitting a sharp f5 with very little controlled strain that wouldn't be noticeable if your not a pro, with the microphone not being by my mouth but my voice still being heard throughout the stadium, holding the notes very longly.
Beyonce, taylor, prince, aretha, jay z, and selena and possibly other celebrities eyes widened in shock.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH." Said my fans screaming at the top of their lungs madly.
"I've been burning, yes I've been burning." Said me and my background singers in sync, holding the notes shortly.
"Such a burden this flame on my chest." Said me and my background singers in sync, holding the notes shortly.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHH,WOOOOOOOOO." Said the audience, clapping and cheering at the top of their lungs.
"Thank you grammys, thank you." I said while bowing a little and waved while leaving the stage slowly but grandly.
Not knowing that this performance will gross over 14 billion views and that I will receive a grammy for album of the year, a honorary grammy legend award, a grammy for songwriter of the year and a grammy for best vocal performance, not knowing I will also be listed 20th on rolling stones 100 greatest singer's and nicknamed the saxophone by the mass.
