I just heard from a friend who’s in the audience that our kids came up on stage? Sounds like they’re about to dance ㅠ

 

⌎??Really? Why can’t we see it…

 

⌎Yeah they came up and greeted saying please support Flora and talked with the audience members…

 

Unlike during the pre-recording, the number of Flora fans who won tickets to the live broadcast audience was too small, so everyone was secretly worried.

 

Whether the members who just debuted might feel intimidated in front of other fans.

 

Especially since the members are quite shy around strangers.

 

But the reports about Flora that kept coming in were quite extraordinary.

 

The Flora fans at the venue aren’t saying anything and only other fans are reporting?

 

⌎Seems like it. The girls came up on stage so our fans probably don’t have time to secretly touch their phones. So jealous

 

⌎Seriously though, it’s amazing in many ways. How do they even think to take out their phones at the studio audience…wouldn’t they get kicked out if caught?

 

⌎I heard it wasn’t really live reporting but more like sending a message to a Flora fan friend saying the girls just came out. I don’t really know either…

 

They say the atmosphere at the venue is amazing right now ㅠ The kids aren’t nervous and are talking well, and the audience is responding really enthusiastically.

 

Though it was very little information, stories about Flora kept flowing in from somewhere.

 

From the news coming through other fans’ reports, fortunately Flora seemed to be doing well and cheerfully even in a situation where they had very few fans.

 

Flora’s fans were envious of those who were actually having conversations with Flora, but honestly they weren’t too disappointed.

 

The live broadcast of Countdown where Flora’s debut stage began.

 

The TV screen was showing detailed views of the individual member drawings that were seen in the music video.

 

New footage that couldn’t be seen in the music video.

 

It was footage that Flora had newly filmed for Countdown.

 

If they had been there as studio audience, they probably couldn’t have felt the emotion of seeing the visual beauty for the first time while watching Flora in person.

 

The screen showed Han Da-min, Ryu Ji-ye, Min Ha-young, and Seo Ra-eun’s drawings in order, then transitioned.

 

In a dark room, Choi Song-i was looking somewhere between the buildings that lit up the city’s night view outside the window.

 

A cool breeze blew into the room.

 

The sound of cars running on the road tickled the ears like white noise.

 

Choi Song-i closed her eyes and listened to that sound, then turned her head to look down at the book she was reading.

 

A thick book with Seo Ra-eun’s drawing inserted, Choi Song-i gently stroked Seo Ra-eun’s drawing with her hand then turned the page.

 

The next page of the book was empty. Instead of text and drawings, there was a flower bud tucked in like a bookmark.

 

Choi Song-i picked up the flower bud and placed it on her palm, then clasped it tightly with both hands.

 

Then she closed her eyes as if praying. Then a soft pink light began to flow from the hands holding the flower bud.

 

And when she opened both hands again, the flower bud slowly bloomed.

 

The screen transitioned with Choi Song-i smiling brightly at this sight as the final scene.

 

Unreleased footage?????? Are you crazy? This is so good for realㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ

 

Countdown must have saved the universe in a past life…For Flora to release unreleased video for something like Countdown…

 

No seriously this is insane??? The countdown is a lifetime achievement, showing the kids’ art filling the whole screen… seeing it big, the details are crazy ㅠ

 

Naturally, Flora’s fans went wild.

 

Even though Day Entertainment was famous for sparing no investment in Flora, who would have thought they’d prepare a video rivaling concert VCRs for a broadcasting station debut stage that would only be used once?

 

Even considering the collaboration and support from U-Net that allowed for more elaborate preparation, it was still an admirable effort.

 

The switched screen finally showed the view on stage.

 

A giant picture frame, with a flower field inside and an entrance gorgeously decorated with flowers.

 

Han Da-min walked through the flower field, passed through the entrance, and crossed over the picture frame.

 

“Waaaah!”

 

The fans’ cheers could be heard.

 

All the members passed through flower fields and entrances dyed in their respective colors, descended the stairs, and stood on stage.

 

Ugh these bastards must have been grinning while building this set, it’s so annoying lolololololol

 

⌎But you’re laughing too much for that?

 

⌎Ah why am I laughing lolol

 

Divine descent.

 

⌎lololololol

 

⌎Why isn’t Flora showing up? There’s only flowers and light on screen?

 

⌎Already being dramatic before it even starts lolololol but I wish our girls would come out soon, I’m going blind from the brightness

 

Ah I’m really crying… yes, this is what I endured for

 

The song hadn’t even started yet, but the fandom was a melting pot of emotion.

 

How many things had they gone through to see this moment, to debut Flora?

 

It wasn’t only Flora who had fought through mental anguish. The fandom was the same. They too had fought hard and protected Flora.

 

The fandom’s wounds that had remained like festering trauma, like deep resentment, seemed to wash away completely at the sight of Flora standing on stage with radiant smiles.

 

And shortly after, Flora’s B-side track “Famous Painting” stage began.

 

The fandom’s atmosphere, which had been full of emotion, became filled with excitement as soon as the song started.

 

You who look at me

 

When will you notice?

 

Beauty overwhelms you

 

It was live.

 

Despite being their debut stage, the members’ live vocals pierced through the sound system clearly.

 

What other determination could there be?

 

Smiling so radiantly while performing live without wavering, loud enough to resonate throughout the venue.

 

Preparing such a perfect stage that felt relaxed despite being their debut performance.

 

That was Flora’s determination.

 

The B-side “Famous Painting,” and then the title track “Blooming.” Their live performance, which would later be called a legendary debut and become a model for junior groups, continued without hesitation.

 

***

 

The reaction to our debut stage? Needless to say, it was good.

 

No, it was so hot that calling it just “good” wouldn’t be enough.

 

The live performance we did on Countdown’s debut seems to have become a huge topic, and thanks to that, fan influx and recognition literally exploded after our debut stage.

 

No matter how much buzz we had here and there, until now we were only popular among K-pop fans. Now we’re starting to properly make an impression on the general public outside that fence.

 

Our unique yet good song was received by the public as a fresh genre and started showing solid results on the music charts.

 

Our visuals and appearances from our Start Plan days also became minor topics of discussion.

 

The attention received as trainees and Start Plan participants was completely different in scale from the attention received after debuting.

 

Anyway, since it seemed like many people became interested in our powerful live performances, we pushed through all music shows with live singing.

 

Every time we performed live, it became a topic of discussion, so there was no reason not to do it.

 

The challenges we filmed here and there while going around music shows are also gradually riding the algorithm, with many people participating.

 

‘I wonder if we could make it to the first place candidates at least once.’

 

Based on the metrics, it seems quite possible but…

 

“Princess, what are you thinking about?”

 

Min Ha-young, who had approached at some point, sat next to me and wrapped her arms and legs around my body.

 

Is she even aware that she’s wearing a skirt?

 

How can she do this in that outfit…

 

I shook my head and covered Min Ha-young’s knees with a blanket, then focused on my mobile phone again.

 

Ding!

 

(Min Ha-young)’s affection toward you has increased by +1!

 

“No, I’m asking what you’re thinking about. Why do you only look at your phone? I’m bored.”

 

“Thinking about you.”

 

“…That’s really ridiculous.”

 

Ding!

 

(Min Ha-young)’s affection toward you has increased by +0.2!

 

Min Ha-young unwrapped her arms and legs from my body with a disappointed expression.

 

“You’re busy by yourself, all by yourself. Ugh. Fine! I’m going to call Song-i too.”

 

She seemed quite sulky, but I wasn’t worried. Despite her pouty tone, her affection level kept rising.

 

The affection system I purchased recently was more useful than I thought.

 

It allowed me to understand people’s affection toward me and the type of affection in numerical values, and helped me strategically conduct conversations and actions like just now.

 

‘It was worth the money.’

 

Right now it’s only being used to figure out whether Ha-young is really upset or not, but it was a function that would be quite useful in important moments too.

 

Anyway, thanks to that, I know Ha-young isn’t really hurt, but if I tease her just a little more, she might actually get upset…

 

“Hey, Ha-young. No. Let’s play together.”

 

“Okay~”

 

When I put away my mobile phone and spoke soothingly, Min Ha-young wrapped her arms and legs around me again as if nothing had happened.

 

“Geez, really. You’re wearing a skirt.”

 

I sighed and pulled the fallen blanket back over her.

 

Today was the second filming day for Flora’s original content [What’s Ji-ye’s Problem? Let’s Make a Contract].

 

Following Han Da-min, Min Ha-young and I, appearing as the second guest, were wearing school uniforms as today’s costume.

 

Since we’re the same age, it seemed we’d be filming with a school days friends concept.
