Han Da-min checked the chat room and burst into laughter.
“Everyone seems confused about what this is. Well then.”
She took over the camera that was filming and brought herself and the members closer into the frame.
“How is it? Our surprise gift?”
“We worked hard to prepare this for all of you Gaden! How do you like it!”
Min Ha-young shouted as if there were fans in the audience seats.
What can I say.
The chat room was filled with waves of emotion.
Even though they suddenly didn’t know what was happening, they seemed to find it very touching that we had prepared something for the fans.
“But everyone, this isn’t over yet.”
“We still have a lot prepared, so we’re a bit busy right now.”
When the members spoke playfully, Han Da-min chuckled and nodded.
“That’s right. You’re all probably thinking ‘What is this? What are they suddenly doing?’ but this is something we… Ah, whatever! It’s a gift for you all, so just enjoy it!”
Thinking it would take too long to explain the whole story behind this sudden performance, Han Da-min just proceeded with the show.
“Huh? We’re moving on just like that?”
Thanks to that, the members who had been leisurely greeting fans through the camera suddenly became busy.
“Everyone, please enjoy watching!”
With Min Ha-young’s shout, Han Da-min handed the camera back to the staff.
The camera returned to its position, and as we got into formation, the next song immediately started.
Next were the title track 【GISS】 from our 2nd mini album and the B-side 【FLORA】 composed by Han Da-min.
G-I-S-S
Not your name
Not a word between us
An afterimage that only grew in your silence
By the latter half of the 【GISS】 performance, the fans seemed to have decided to stop questioning and just enjoy, as the chat responses began showing more stable reactions.
‘The three rehearsals were worth it.’
I was worried whether this performance would go well even during rehearsals.
The cameras, the staff coordination, and the members who had made small mistakes during each rehearsal were all perfectly fulfilling their roles on this small stage.
【FLORA】 started immediately after 【GISS】.
The fans’ reactions became even more heated.
We had created choreography for it and performed it on broadcasts, but only once, which made fans so disappointed. They had been crying out for at least a dance video.
We also felt regretful that we only had one chance to show off the amazing choreography.
Being able to show it again at this opportunity was good for us and good for the fans.
For the official concert, it would be rearranged for the concert setting so the choreography would be slightly different, making this really the last performance with the original choreography.
As the two-song performance ended, chairs came rolling up onto the stage.
The members who had been dancing their hearts out sat down on the chairs, panting and catching their breath.
“Well then, shall we have some communication?”
Han Da-min spoke with her breath still not settled.
Many fans probably came in expecting communication, so it wouldn’t be right to just do performances and leave without any talk.
“Wait a moment. Let’s all calm down a bit.”
The members drank water and caught their breath while checking the chat room.
The chat room was moving faster than ever before.
We had sat down to communicate, but with messages disappearing before we could even read them, the members eventually looked at each other instead of the chat room.
“Should someone explain? Why we prepared this surprise performance.”
Han Da-min said this while naturally looking at me.
It meant that since I had stepped forward to plan this, I should explain.
“Ah, yes.”
I immediately picked up the microphone and spoke.
“This is our last week of activities, and thanks to all our Gaden, we got first place on music shows. Plus, we even climbed charts in that faraway country, right?”
“That’s right.”
“We received so much love, but compared to that, we felt like we hadn’t really done much for you all.”
After all, love is something that should be given and received.
No matter how much fans offer unconditional love and generous love, believing in us and liking us, we must give back as much as we receive.
“So we wanted to do something for you, but what would make our Gaden happy? We thought hard and discussed it among the members.”
In addition to this, it was also an apology for not being able to properly satisfy you despite this activity’s success…
But saying this now would ruin the mood, so I filled my mouth with only words that Gaden would like to hear.
“The result of our discussion! Is exactly this.”
“That’s right!”
“It might feel a bit rushed in preparation, but everyone, how is it? Do you like it?”
Han Da-min brought her hand to her ear as if encouraging audience response.
“Delay delay, you have to stay still for about 30 seconds.”
“Stay still, unnie, wait just a bit more.”
Han Da-min stayed still amid the members’ fuss until reactions came up in the chat room, then let out a “Wow” exclamation as if she heard the fans’ voices and looked at us.
“I just heard it.”
“What are the Gaden saying?”
“They’re very satisfied right now. Probably.”
“What do you mean probably.”
“I heard so many different voices. Haha.”
Han Da-min laughed with a somewhat uncertain voice and said.
“Anyway, as we mentioned earlier, our 【Revenge】 activities are ending this week too. How was this activity for everyone?”
“Wow, this activity was…”
The members each fell into thought.
It was truly a complex and subtle activity period.
The precious album that we put the most care and thought into in our lives proved that our efforts weren’t in vain by steadily producing results matching the effort we put in.
Flora kept setting records and soaring high, and though fans don’t know yet, we even got overseas broadcast appearance opportunities and award ceremony invitations.
Having experienced failure, I know.
This is truly fortunate.
How many people in the world can achieve results equal to or greater than the effort they put in?
【Revenge】 hit number one on the charts!
We entered overseas charts for the first time!
We got cast on a famous overseas broadcast. We’ll be going soon!
Throughout our activities, something to be happy about happened once a day.
Every time we heard such news, we were truly jumping with happiness and joy.
But even then, we kept hesitating.
Like parents who left their precious child at home while enjoying good scenery and delicious meals by themselves.
Every time we felt joy, only sorry feelings toward the fans who created these opportunities kept piling up.
So saying ‘We were just happy and joyful and it was all good!’ in front of fans felt somehow guilty.
Fans would want us to say that, but our conscience was pricked and we couldn’t say it even as empty words.
All we could say was just.
“Thanks to our Gaden, we feel like we’re receiving excessive achievements and love that we could never receive in our lifetime.”
“That’s right. It was an activity that made us feel the preciousness and love of our Gaden once again. That’s all we can say.”
“Everyone, thank you so much once again.”
“At this point, Flora, it’s late but we should set off fireworks with Gaden, right?”
Han Da-min said this and began talking about several achievements that Flora had accomplished throughout the 【Revenge】 activities.
Such as getting first place on music shows when we couldn’t even make promises, or entering the upper ranks of overseas music charts.
And we sang celebration songs and enthusiastically set off fireworks along with Han Da-min’s words.
We’re sorry once again. Dear Gaden.
Because of that damn stalker and assailant incident, security became so tight that we couldn’t properly celebrate together.
Even though they knew we were gritting our teeth and streaming like crazy for our sake.
“Ah, we should have congratulated them in real time.”
Song-i summarized that sense of guilt with a single grumbling remark.
Honestly, how could we not have known? With us breaking new records day after day, how disappointed must the fans have been that there wasn’t a single special video or live broadcast?
But it seemed like their hearts were melting away with just our belated apology—one that was delivered in such a roundabout way at that.
