…I’m just saying, at least from what was visible in the chat room, that’s how it felt.
I know that the disappointment won’t be resolved just by hastily renting a small stage in the last week and performing for about an hour in a live broadcast.
Still, it was fortunate that they seemed to accept our apology.
The chat room was still filled with a continuous barrage of fanfare.
Han Da-min looked at this with satisfaction and continued talking with the fans.
We skipped asking about each other’s recent updates since we already knew without having to ask. What we had for breakfast this morning, how sloppy the three rehearsals for this performance were, and so on.
We mainly brought up topics that fans could laugh about lightly and had conversations around those.
After chattering enthusiastically for about 20 minutes, I could feel the atmosphere among the members gradually becoming more relaxed and comfortable.
Then a staff member behind the camera gave a signal.
Han Da-min checked the time, nodded, and then said to the fans.
“Alright, let’s end the conversation here. We should move on to the next stage, shouldn’t we?”
“That’s right.”
“Everyone, please stand up.”
As the members stood up, the staff quickly came up on stage and cleared away the chairs.
The two songs that would follow from now were the final acts of this live performance.
We stood in formation and looked at the camera.
Han Da-min spoke.
“The next song is the title track from this album. We’ll perform 【Revenge】 live for you.”
The stage briefly went dark.
And soon, bright lights came on as the intro to 【Revenge】 began to flow.
Our first image transformation, having consistently pushed a classic and elegant concept since debut.
While maintaining Flora’s distinctive noble feeling intact, the choreography alone boasts a level of difficulty that’s on a completely different dimension from our previous title tracks.
Naturally, the center for the intro section is our proud main dancer Min Ha-young.
Thud-. Tap- Thump-.
The concert hall was so narrow and the stage as makeshift as a school auditorium platform, so every time we stomped our feet, it shook greatly and made dull sounds.
Regardless, we danced with all our might, no less than on music shows.
So enthusiastically that if the dancers had come up too, the stage would have literally collapsed.
Tap, thud-.
Indeed, this song comes alive properly when the footsteps can be heard at precise beats.
After energetically finishing the 【Revenge】 performance, the song that immediately followed was 【Nothing】, which Ha-young and Han Da-min composed and was the pre-release track from this album.
It was a ‘let’s all die’ type setlist.
I’m not saying this as a metaphor because the song order was too good – I really felt like I was going to die.
‘Wow, this is crazy.’
My stamina is screwed…?
The foot stomping sounds were insane.
I got too excited and put all my energy into 【Revenge】 like a rookie, so as soon as 【Nothing】 started playing, I realized my mistake.
In terms of stamina consumption, 【Nothing】 is more demanding than 【Revenge】, but I didn’t think about that.
But it seemed the other members were the same, as we all hesitated collectively when 【Nothing】’s intro started, then moved into formation.
Fortunately, unlike 【Revenge】 which requires maintaining sharp choreography with no room for error, 【Nothing】 is a good song for glossing over choreography while encouraging audience participation.
“Everyone, are you ready to jump?!”
Perhaps the other members had similar thoughts, as Han Da-min suddenly shouted at the camera.
Then she broke formation without warning and gestured toward the camera with her microphone, encouraging participation.
“Haha!”
I burst out laughing at her blatantly abandoning the choreography.
The members bowed their heads and held back laughter, submitting to the authority of the eldest leader who had tacitly decided to take a break since the choreography was too tiring.
Then we all broke formation together and just bounced around to the rhythm, responding to Han Da-min’s encouragement.
“Everyone, jump!”
“No, no. It’s night right now. Noise complaints from neighbors.”
“Oh, then just hands!”
“You don’t know what we’re talking about, right? Neither do we!”
We really just said whatever came to mind.
Then we looked at each other and laughed because it seemed like we were saying complete nonsense.
I just wanted to catch my breath for a moment, and my head wasn’t working because I was tired, so I just blurted out whatever came to my mouth – what was that about noise complaints?
After intense rehearsals since morning, by the end the members gave off the same feeling as when we’d stayed up all night practicing and gone slightly crazy.
We calmed our breathing appropriately, took turns drinking a sip of water, then got back in formation.
Soon came the chorus of 【Nothing】.
No matter how tired we were, we couldn’t end sloppily.
We rested briefly, so let’s do it properly until the end.
We jumped with all our might and finished our surprise final performance.
“Huff…. Gasp…. Wait, just a moment….”
Han Da-min was really exhausted and couldn’t continue speaking for a while, holding her waist.
When she’s struggling like that, one of the other members should speak up instead.
Sorry. Everyone was equally tired, so we all just stared at Han Da-min longingly.
Seo Ra-eun and Choi Song-i were beyond words, and Ha-young and I, who had been dancing our hearts out at the front, were planning to collapse as soon as we got off stage.
In the end, Han Da-min held the microphone until the end.
“Everyone, did you enjoy it?”
Responses in various languages were coming back in the chat room.
They were scrolling up so fast they were barely visible, but Han Da-min nodded as if she had heard their voices and continued speaking.
“We had so much fun too.”
After briefly chatting with the members who had finally caught their breath, she gave the closing remarks.
“Unfortunately, our surprise event ends here. I hope everyone enjoyed it. Now, oh my. Look how late it’s gotten.”
Han Da-min said this while pretending to check her watch playfully.
“Now it’s time for all you Gaden to wrap up your day and go to sleep, so shall we say goodbye and head out too? Come on, everyone get up quickly. Stand up straight.”
At her words, the members lined up in a row.
“Everyone, we’re always grateful and we love you. We’ll be taking our leave now. That’s all!”
“This was Flora! Thank you!”
The live broadcast ended with an energetic farewell.
And the members began lying down on the floor.
“Uhhhhh….”
Seriously, it was fun and exhausting.
Zombie-like sounds emerged from here and there.
These weren’t members who would collapse after just a few songs, but maybe we overdid it more than usual because we were excited from the continuous rehearsals since morning.
We lay there for quite a while before finally getting up.
“Everyone worked so hard!”
“Great work!”
We exchanged greetings with the staff who had worked hard with us, then headed to the dormitory.
The members who arrived at the dormitory immediately scattered in different directions.
Someone went to sleep with a relieved expression, while others spent their time exercising, practicing, or resting.
What did I do, you ask?
First I washed up and lay on my bed for a moment to rest my eyes. Then I suddenly opened my eyes, got up, put on my fashion glasses, and fiddled with my phone.
What I’m going to do now is a live broadcast.
You might think it’s strange to do another live broadcast so soon after the live broadcast ended, but no.
Naturally, you have to do an after-party live broadcast after a concert, don’t you?
I looked in the mirror and checked my face.
It’s bare-faced but not bad. Glasses should be enough for broadcasting.
…I said this while applying colored lip balm generously, then turned on the broadcast.
As I stared blankly at the broadcast screen that had already started, viewers soon came in and began filling up the chat room.
-What’s this, is it my birthday today?
I watched the chats coming up in response to the sudden live broadcast, smiled, and waved my hand.
“Hello, hello. Everyone, hello. I’m back again.”
-Aren’t you tired?
-A performance and then a live stream??
“Oh, that much is fine. I’m not tired and I just came because I missed you all. Aren’t you tired?”
Is it because not much time has passed since the previous live broadcast ended?
Viewers gathered faster than I expected.
“I wanted to quietly chat with you all. Those of you who aren’t tired, please stay and talk with me.”
