“The name?”
“Fan name! Fandom name!”
At Han Da-min’s question, the fans shouted as if they had been waiting for this.
Seeing nearly a hundred fans speaking with one heart and one mind, it seemed that what the fan name would be decided as was the hot topic of The Capital among fans.
The fan name submission period that was announced recently had ended, so they might be asking with even more interest because of that.
“Ah, your name!”
Han Da-min said apologetically.
“We’re making you wait too long, aren’t we? We’re still discussing it continuously right now, but since it’s an important matter, I think we’ll deliberate a bit more before deciding.”
Really many opinions had come in.
The members were the same, and there would also be ideas collected from staff and fans.
We had picked and chosen from among them to narrow down to names that seemed decent…
Since names are inherently very subjective in taste, opinions weren’t easily narrowed down.
“Voting sounds like a really good idea! I’ll mention it to the company.”
Right, if we can’t satisfy everyone anyway, it would be a good method to narrow it down a bit more here and decide together with the fans.
“We’re also discussing earnestly because we want to give you a good name, so please wait just a little longer!”
“Yes!”
The fans readily answered and we immediately moved on to the next question.
Whether there were plans for group self-content besides the irregularly appearing content ‘What’s Ji-ye’s Problem? Let’s Make a Contract’.
Also when Seo Ra-eun and Choi Song-i’s episodes would be done.
Memorable Start Plan behind-the-scenes stories and dormitory stories.
A question also came asking if I had any thoughts of doing a duet with Ha-young, who’s the same age as me.
“A duet with Ha-young? I always want to do that.”
I spoke with sincerity while glancing at Min Ha-young.
“We actually both talked about doing it together.”
It seemed like both Ha-young and I had consistently wanted a duet since right after debut.
Since we’re the only same-age members in Flora and had been stuck together since Start Plan.
There were also many fans hoping for the two of us to cover something, whether dance or singing.
‘But it got pushed back in order…’
It was discussed that to solidify positions within the group, Min Ha-young should prepare a separate dance cover and my duet with Han Da-min should come out first.
But it would definitely come out in the not-too-distant future…
I spoke with a meaningful smile.
“Everyone!”
“Yes!”
“Please look forward to it.”
“Waaaah!”
SPLCON practice would start in earnest from now on, so it would be at least three months later.
I just casually mentioned that it was in preparation at least.
Then Han Da-min grinned with a mischievous smile and pointed at Min Ha-young and me.
“You’re just going to tell them to look forward to it without even knowing when it’ll come out? Show us a little preview.”
As soon as she heard that, Min Ha-young reached out her hand to me and began singing seductively.
“Even if we’ve endured countless pain~”
“Looking at you, I believe in eternity once again~”
When I reflexively added harmony to that, Han Da-min clapped in admiration.
“Wow, I’m definitely not letting them go. My kids are so good!”
“Everyone, those unnies seem really talented because they do well even when suddenly asked, right? No. They’re always like this at the dormitory. Not just Ha-young unnie, but Ji-ye unnie too.”
When Song-i spoke as if she couldn’t stop us, the fans responded and laughed again.
“Our kids love dancing and singing. When one person starts singing, everyone joins in.”
As Seo Ra-eun looked at us fondly, Han Da-min said mischievously.
“How about it, Ra-eun, want to sing with me? Even if we’ve endured countless pain~”
“…I, uh, I…!”
Then Seo Ra-eun’s face turned bright red as she looked back and forth between the members and fans, then hid behind Song-i.
Min Ha-young naturally grabbed Han Da-min’s hand that was left hanging in the air without a partner.
“Looking at you, I believe in eternity once again~”
…Good job. Really good sense.
After joking around like that, showing some dancing and singing, and doing several more Q&As, it was almost time to end the fan meeting.
“Everyone, what should we do? It’s almost time to end.”
“Awww…”
Seeing the fans making disappointed sounds, all the members looked sad.
“I really want to do more if we could. I want to have a concert here!”
“Yes, we’d love to, but unfortunately as you all know, we have our fan signing event. Sorry.”
Han Da-min said while calming down Min Ha-young.
“Is anyone coming to the fan signing too?”
“Me!”
“Me!”
Quite a lot of people raised their hands.
Wait, I heard fan signing tickets aren’t easy to get, but this many people are coming?
“Really? All of you who raised your hands are coming? That’s amazing!”
When I asked in surprise, really loud responses came back.
“For real!”
“We want to see you!”
“See you later!”
I just nodded and made eye contact with each fan one by one.
“See you later. I’ll remember all the faces of those who raised their hands.”
“Now, for the very last time. The final question!”
At Han Da-min’s words, fans who hadn’t asked questions yet raised their hands.
Just as Han Da-min was choosing who would ask the question, Seo Ra-eun carefully tugged at Han Da-min’s sleeve.
“Unnie, that person in the very back. I think they’ve been raising their hand since the beginning.”
“Oh, really? Then you in the very back!”
When Han Da-min pointed to the fan, he spoke in a trembling voice, perhaps from nervousness.
“I, I know you’re going to participate in SPLCON soon. Could you possibly tell us what kind of stage you’ll be doing…? If it’s okay, could you give us a spoiler?”
“Oh, SPLCON spoilers?”
“Yes, yes! If it’s difficult, you don’t have to do it.”
He said that looking very embarrassed and quickly sat down in his seat.
“SPLCON spoilers are an unexpected question, aren’t they?”
“Wow. What should we do.”
We said that while sneakily glancing at our manager.
SPLCON spoilers really weren’t planned, so the problem was whether we could do it on our own.
Fortunately, Seong Ji-soo, who received our gaze, seemed to think for a moment then drew a big circle with her arm.
Then she mouthed “only ours” to Han Da-min and me.
The joint stage with U&DA was already known through articles, but she was telling us not to spoil the details.
“Hmm! What kind of spoilers should we give.”
“What’s certain is that it’s composed of stages you’ll definitely love.”
“Will you sing songs you sang during Start Plan and stuff?”
When someone among the fans asked, the members all started showing ambiguous smiles and exaggeratedly rolling their eyes.
“Well~”
“They’re going to sing them. Crazy.”
The fans who cleverly figured out the meaning started buzzing in a positive way.
Regardless of the controversy, I know how affectionately the fans watched Start Plan.
Although it ended stained with wounds, our fans still love the stages we showed on Start Plan, don’t they.
So we couldn’t not prepare them.
We’re currently arranging all the songs we sang on Start Plan into a medley to fit the concert.
“What should we do. How about Ra-eun gives some spoilers?”
“Me, me?”
Seo Ra-eun, who had been waving to the fans in front of her, looked at the members in surprise.
She had an expression like she never expected such an important matter as spoilers to be entrusted to her.
“Yeah, Ra-eun~”
It was Han Da-min’s specialty of taking care of members.
Han Da-min would often entrust important tasks to members who had fewer opportunities to speak like this.
Of course it would be very burdensome for the person, but thanks to that, Seo Ra-eun gets another chance to receive attention and speak.
And one of FLORA’s unchanging rules is to never back down when given a task.
“Ah, what should I do. Spoilers…”
Seo Ra-eun stepped forward with an unconfident expression.
Seeing this, Choi Song-i clicked her tongue saying “Ugh” then suddenly grabbed mine and Min Ha-young’s hands and led us.
“That unnie looks like her face is going to explode. At least provide backup.”
Then she positioned me and Min Ha-young behind Seo Ra-eun and slipped away to Han Da-min’s side.
“What’s with that kid?”
Min Ha-young looked at Song-i with incredulous eyes, but as expected.
“Crazy, I feel like I’m watching Start Plan right now.”
“So cute.”
She lost to the maknae-lover fans and quietly prepared to provide backup.
Me? I was already casually discussing what to do with Seo Ra-eun without much thought.
“Unnie, what are you going to do?”
“What should we do… Ah, how about.”
Seo Ra-eun led Min Ha-young and me over and whispered.
“Just a bit of Horizon’s intro, how about that? Just one move.”
“Oh, that sounds good?”
“I like it too.”
Min Ha-young and I nodded our heads.
The special medley would be a masterpiece stage that fans could look forward to.
We decided to keep the medley secret but spoil that we would definitely perform a nostalgic stage.
After deciding which move to show, we got back into formation and stood ready.
“One, two, three!”
And when we performed one move from Horizon following Seo Ra-eun’s count, as expected.
“Kyaaaah!”
An intense reaction came back.
“Wow, everyone really wanted this.”
“How can you tell what it is from just that?”
“Yes!”
“Horizon!”
The fans shouted excitedly, and Han Da-min brought her index finger to her lips, saying it was a secret only we knew.
“Anyway, we’ve prepared so many really fun stages, so please look forward to them. And.”
As we returned to our original positions, Han Da-min, who had paused for a moment, opened her mouth.
“Now it’s really time to wrap up.”
“Aww…”
“It’s sad, but this isn’t really the end.”
I nodded at Han Da-min’s words and picked up the microphone.
“We’ll come back with even better songs, and next time we’ll hold a fan meeting in a warmer and bigger place than this.”
“Sounds good!”
Fortunately, the fans seemed ready to let us go, putting their disappointment aside.
“Then shall we say our final goodbye?”
“Yes!”
The members stood in a line and looked at the fans.
“Take care!”
“See you at the concert!”
“Rest well and come back soon!”
Listening to the fans’ wistful farewells.
“This has been FLORA! Thank you!”
The mini fan meeting came to an end.
