“I also had a busy yet enjoyable break period like the other members.”
“Was that really a break?”
As soon as I spoke, Min Ha-young’s retort came in as if she’d been waiting for it.
I nodded my head, obediently acknowledging her words.
“It was a fun activity period.”
Yeah, even I think that wasn’t a break period.
It was clearly an activity period. It was someone else’s activity period, but still.
Doing interviews, introducing songs, and performing live once a day repeatedly – if that’s not an activity period, then what the hell is!
Even when I rested a bit more due to the dopamine addiction side effects, it wasn’t really resting because I was resting from extreme fatigue!
…I kept these resentful thoughts to myself and just smiled as if it had been enjoyable.
Let me brainwash myself.
It was fun. It was fun. It was an activity that was nothing but enjoyable, fun, and interesting without a single hardship.
“Like Da-min unnie said, I met many famous people I’d only seen on broadcasts, and wonderful people who created famous songs. Each experience was new, so I learned a lot and had fun.”
“But I’m newly realizing again that Ji-ye’s English is really good. I’m surprised every time I watch her interviews.”
“Oh, it’s not that good.”
I acted modest, but honestly, it was that good.
Surprisingly, despite being treated as the family’s troublemaker and burden, Ryu Ji-ye was quite skilled in various languages.
When she was young, back when Ryu Ji-ye’s parents hadn’t given up on raising her as a professional manager.
Like her brothers, Ryu Ji-ye traveled to various countries, learning languages and being introduced to various celebrities.
Fortunately, those memories were completely passed on to me, so I could comfortably use various languages throughout the interviews.
Of course, the fatigue from constantly conversing in non-native languages was unavoidable.
The fans were very proud of this.
“The broadcasting environment was very different from Korea and interesting. The only regret was that we went all the way to the United States but couldn’t properly sightsee?”
“Oh, right…”
The members, who had been excited about meeting fans and the comeback, made slightly dejected faces.
We were so busy handling schedules, work, and meetings that we couldn’t do any proper sightseeing, only exploring nearby restaurants on the first day and briefly at the end.
I was busy with activities, and the Flora members even returned to Korea to practice, only to be suddenly called back to the United States and immediately handed microphones to perform live, so they were busy adjusting to jet lag rather than sightseeing.
Moreover, the members who had been excited about coming to the United States spent most of their time only in the hotel due to fans flocking around.
“But it was still a good experience for everyone~”
Han Da-min neatly wrapped up the momentarily dejected atmosphere.
“If we get another good opportunity to go to the United States next time, it would be fun to properly sightsee, eat delicious food, and communicate with everyone through live broadcasts like this there too. Right?”
“Yes, yes! That’s right!”
“Song-i also succeeded in eating the ice cream she wanted.”
The members hurriedly raised their energy.
“Now let’s gradually move on to talking about the album. Wow, we’ve already spent ten minutes just talking about recent updates.”
“The title song ‘Revenge’. What kind of song is it?”
At Da-min’s signal that we should quickly move to the main topic since time was limited, the members hurriedly brought up the title song.
An introduction about the title song was written in front of us like a script.
The members took turns reading the introduction, and after that, they freely shared their personal impressions of the title song.
“It’s very different from the style we used to do, so I was a bit surprised at first. Like, wow, we’re doing this?”
“The feeling is so different that you all might be surprised too. But I think our Garden fans will probably like it.”
“We poured everything into it to the extent that you’ll think ‘Our Flora can do this kind of thing too!'”
And a little spoiler of the song and choreography.
Normally, we would have done things like the 100-day photo challenge before comeback or given little spoilers during live broadcasts like we used to.
But this time, both we and the staff were too busy to do any spoilers.
While teasing each other, responding to fans’ chats, and having conversations, time flew by and it was 5 minutes before the music video release.
At the manager’s signal, Han Da-min spoke.
“Looking at the chat room now, it seems like the Garden fans are starting to get anxious.”
“Everyone, what should we do! Only 5 minutes left!”
Min Ha-young made a fuss while shaking my arm.
“Everyone’s probably busy preparing to refresh right now.”
“Then shall we quickly say goodbye and step back so our Garden fans can comfortably watch the music video?”
“Yes!”
“Everyone. We poured our everything into making this album and the title song ‘Revenge’ – please enjoy listening to it. This was!”
“Flora! Thank you!”
The live broadcast ended.
After finishing, 2 minutes remained.
The members became quiet again as if they had never been chattering.
As if waiting for each other, they scattered to different corners and started staring intently at their phones.
I was the same.
Refresh, refresh, infinite refreshing.
I kept refreshing until the music video I’d already seen many times was uploaded.
And finally, the music video uploaded to the YouTube channel.
The protagonist of this ‘Revenge’ thumbnail was Min Ha-young, who had decorated the first scene of the music video.
“Ooh, Ha-young!”
“Ha-young is the first thumbnail of the music video?”
At the members’ words, Min Ha-young started grinning.
Someone seemed to already be watching the music video, but Ha-young kept grinning as if she was continuously looking at herself in the thumbnail.
Well, she really did come out incredibly pretty. It’s a bit pitiful to say, but Ha-young rarely becomes the thumbnail for official channels.
I chuckled and turned my gaze to play the music video.
The content was just as I knew it, uploaded well without errors.
…Even though I already knew the content, it’s human nature to want to keep watching, so after watching it a few more times, I quietly got up.
Then I casually sat next to Han Da-min and poked her side.
I know you want to watch it several more times and check the view count and fans’ reactions.
But shouldn’t we gradually go back to practice now?
The music video was released, right?
The music was also released, right?
We played to our heart’s content thanks to the choreographer’s consideration until the music video and music were released, right?
Then we should practice. We have music shows soon.
“Unnie. As you can see from watching it once, it was uploaded well without any errors.”
When I looked at Han Da-min with those eyes, she smiled a bit sheepishly and got up with me.
“Girls, let’s practice. We need to practice. We rested too much today.”
At Da-min’s words, the members began to get up slowly with reluctance.
In the past, I would have given them more time to watch fans’ reactions and enjoy themselves, truly filling up on dopamine, but this time I couldn’t do that.
Because the choreography is insanely difficult.
Even Da-min and I find it difficult and sometimes make mistakes.
We’ve memorized the choreography perfectly, but it’s so difficult that sometimes our bodies can’t keep up.
‘Only Ha-young is perfect. Only Ha-young.’
If we’re like this, what situation must Seo Ra-eun and Choi Song-i be in?
They can somehow perform the full song, but they clearly look busy trying to keep up, so we didn’t have time to enjoy the comeback.
The members seemed to know this too, as they gathered in the center of the practice room and got into formation more easily than usual.
“Oh my. You gather right away when the music video is uploaded? I guess you’re feeling a sense of crisis?”
Practice began again with the choreographer’s playful words.
Two days until the music show pre-recording.
We had to somehow perfectly complete this seemingly messy choreography that seemed finished yet unfinished.
Our practice naturally continued until dawn again today.
And before we knew it, it was the day of pre-recording.
