Why can’t I have comfortable activities?

No, not just me, but all of us.

I tried to fold away the bitter thoughts that briefly came to mind while looking at the Sub Quest and lightly warmed up my body.

Something seems like it might happen, but for now let’s just focus on the comeback.

“Haah…”

The sigh that escaped was unavoidable though.

Everyone had a similarly bitter atmosphere so my sigh didn’t really stand out much.

“Alright, alright, I understand you’re all feeling unsettled, but it’s an important day – are you going to keep this atmosphere up? Everyone snap out of it.”

The Manager quickly swept away the gloomy atmosphere.

She got the members who were just reading the mood to stand up, gave various instructions to the Staff Members, and forcibly erased the unsettled atmosphere.

Of course, even doing that never brought any liveliness.

Anyway, time passed and soon it was time for the live broadcast.

***

“Our kids have really become proper celebrities.”

Manager Seong Ji-soo continued her praise with an awkward smile.

As she said, today’s live broadcast – I can dare say with my own mouth that we did well enough.

During the interview with the MCs, when our pre-recorded stage was shown, and even during the final ranking announcement, we stood in front of the cameras smiling brightly as if nothing had happened.

Even now. Even now when the broadcast is over and we’re having a mini fan meeting in front of the Broadcasting Station.

We were professional.

“Garden~”

“Waaaaah!”

As we waved cheerfully and headed toward where the Fans were, the Fans also welcomed us by waving their light sticks.

A rather strange atmosphere formed between us and the Fans. Should I say it felt like we were pitying each other.

Today one strange person ruined our first stage performance.

The Fans must have also been waiting for our first stage with excited hearts. They couldn’t even watch properly because they were worried about whether we were okay and reading the Production Staff’s mood.

The mini fan meeting began with both sides tacitly hiding our pity and regret for each other.

“Everyone, have you been well?”

“Yes!”

“We really missed you so much. How was our stage performance?”

At Han Da-min’s question, the Fans each poured out their impressions.

I couldn’t hear each one clearly, but I could tell just from their expressions.

Even though there was that strange incident, the stage was really good anyway.

Seeing their expressions, it was worth pouring our souls into it.

“We really wanted to show you. This ‘Revenge’ is really good, right?”

“Yes!”

“That’s a relief. We were really worried about whether you would like it.”

Since the feeling was so different from before, almost like an image transformation, I was worried that regardless of the song’s quality, opinions might be greatly divided.

I can’t know all the Fans and General Public’s thoughts, but fortunately the Fans here seemed to really like our new attempt.

Well, there were quite a few Fans who sometimes complained loudly.

Looking at the skills Flora showed on Start Plan, they’re Members who could do better, so why lower the Choreography difficulty, or why only make Choreography for Challenges, etc.

I know there were quite a few Fans who felt regretful about this, separate from the songs being good.

There were even Fans who made short-form videos of our Start Plan footage, calling it Flora’s real skills.

I think those Fans must be really happy this time.

“It’s been a while since our mini fan meeting returned, so we can’t not do a Q&A! We received questions from you all in advance, right?”

“That’s right!”

Following our hosting, the Staff brought over pamphlets covered with sticky notes.

These were questions we received in advance while handing out freebies earlier.

“Oh my, there are way more than we thought, and I’m not sure if we can do them all, but let’s try as many as time allows. Should our Youngest Member Song-i pick first?”

“Yes.”

Song-i didn’t even pretend to choose and just took the sticky note right in the middle, handing it to Han Da-min.

Han Da-min hesitated at her bluntness, then took the sticky note and said.

“Why is everyone only asking questions about ‘Revenge’? Please talk about the pre-release song too! That’s what they wrote.”

“Aha~”

The Members all exclaimed together.

For a random pick, she chose something that Fans would really be curious about.

Speaking of the pre-release song, it’s the song that Han Da-min and I literally made while tearing our hair out.

Since it feels so different from the songs we usually make, they’d be curious about the behind-the-scenes of how such a song came to be.

“Well, this is…”

“We really have a lot to say about this song.”

Han Da-min and I simultaneously looked at each other and silently shook our heads.

The Fans giggled at our action that contained so much meaning.

“You might have felt it too, but this song feels very different from the songs we usually make.”

The title is even ‘Nothing’.

Meaning this song is nothing. That it was made without any meaning or reason.

“The story is really, really long, but if we tell it here we won’t be able to see other questions, so to put it briefly, we thought we wanted to include a song we made on this album no matter what.”

“Everyone was moving with one heart and mind to pour everything into this album and make the best album, and our affection grew that much too.”

We wanted to include our song on an album filled with such affection.

But no matter how hard we tried and put effort into making them, they were all rejected.

“If we made this song, it would overlap with the title track’s mood, and if we made that song, it would overlap with the b-side’s mood. But the already chosen songs were much better than the songs we made, so we couldn’t just demand they include ours.”

Later, we were rejected countless times to the point where our pride was a bit hurt.

“We really, really wanted to include our song on this album, but it kept not working out, so we were like ‘whatever happens, happens!’ and the song we made was Nothing.”

“Honestly, we didn’t think it would work. All the songs that fit the album concept were already decided, and we didn’t have any more time, so we had almost given up.”

“I remember that day. It was dawn. We were both slightly out of our minds, going ‘I don’t know!’ and let’s add this, let’s add that!”

“We tried making something like a song that would be good for jumping around excitedly at a concert or something, and it worked.”

“It even became the pre-release song. We were like ‘…Huh?’ That was exactly our state.”

“Anyway! The song we made going ‘whatever happens, happens!’ unexpectedly got included on the album and even became the pre-release, so we were very surprised too! That was the story! Next, should Ha-young pick one?”

“Sounds good~”

Unlike Song-i, Min Ha-young reacted big and carefully read each sticky note one by one before choosing one and handing it to Han Da-min.

“I choose this one!”

Han Da-min received the sticky note from Min Ha-young and read it.

“I heard that Ha-young had high participation in the Choreography for this title track ‘Revenge’. I’m curious what each member’s favorite Choreography part is! That’s the question.”

She picked a very Ha-young-like question. Since it’s Choreography she created, she’d be more curious about which points each member liked.

Min Ha-young quickly moved positions and went to where the Fans were and plopped down.

“Kyaaaah!!!”

Naturally the Fans went wild, and Min Ha-young looked at us with expectant eyes full of hope, sparkling.

Got it. I got it.

“For me, personally, I liked this part of the chorus.”

Han Da-min, who was holding the Microphone, started Singing the chorus and Dancing first.

“Teacher Min Ha-young is watching, so I should dance properly. Haha.”

With a little joke and properly powerful Dancing. As the Fans’ cheers grew louder at the Chorus Choreography performed on the spot, the Members also quietly moved back and started dancing along to the Chorus Choreography.

After finishing the Choreography, Han Da-min gave a gentlemanly bow and passed the Microphone to me.
