“What do you mean, Ji-ye? You said the trend was good every day~”

Kim Ja-in spoke with the happiest face in the world, in the softest voice possible.

“Trend…”

I muttered quietly and let out a hollow laugh.

You did say that.

You did say the trend was good.

But I never thought the level of that “good” would be this much…

“What are you thinking about, Ji-ye?”

Kim Ja-in asked in a caring voice like a very luxurious madam speaking to her daughter.

I spoke honestly to her.

“I’m scared.”

“Of what?”

“Because things are going too well.”

“You’re talking like it’s your first time succeeding? When have you ever failed?”

Please stop that weird way of speaking.

I’ve failed so many times and I’m actually scared because this kind of success isn’t familiar to me, you know?

Unlike me, Kim Ja-in reacted as if she had played a part in her increasingly amazing career. Maybe it’s natural for her.

But I’m really not like that.

This bewildered, dazed, unreal feeling…

‘It would have felt more real if it had been a festive atmosphere.’

It’s quiet. Too ordinary for setting a record high.

But the moment I turned on my phone, the world became noisy.

Of course, it’s also because the algorithm shows me particularly many articles, posts, and videos about Flora…

Anyway, each day passes by so ordinarily, but whenever I turn on my phone, it’s chaos.

Everyone was praising us as if we had done something tremendous, which contrasted even more with the quiet daily life and made me afraid. That’s why I couldn’t even be happy freely.

Not just me, but Han Da-min has exactly the same reaction.

Even the leader can’t feel it’s real and instead exercises and practices as usual. So the other members are also spending time as usual.

Kim Ja-in said to me like that.

“Do you need to be scared? Even if it doesn’t feel real, just enjoy it.”

“I can’t enjoy it…”

“You don’t have to try hard to make it feel real, you’ll feel it soon enough.”

As expected, I’m amazing.

I nodded awkwardly while watching Kim Ja-in speak like a narcissist drunk on herself.

“That’s true.”

As Kim Ja-in said, I would soon feel it at a frighteningly fast pace.

Because.

“It’s decided that we don’t have a break period now, right?”

“Yes.”

Kim Ja-in said firmly.

Unlike her gentle tone, her answer was merciless.

“When there’s only going up left, where’s the time to rest. We have to go straight to the United States.”

The last week of 【Revenge】 activities.

After finishing this week’s activities, we’re heading to the United States again.

This time not for work or to help others’ activities, but for Flora’s activities.

“You have to do interviews and participate in award ceremonies to win awards, Ji-ye. Like a top star.”

“CEO, your way of speaking is too scary.”

It makes me feel like I’m being gaslighted.

I would work hard even without that.

She seems so happy that all the results exceeded expectations.

“Haha, okay, okay. I won’t do it.”

Kim Ja-in, who had been looking at her phone for a while, finally changed her tone properly and said.

“Anyway, you focus on 【Revenge】 activities. Award ceremonies and the United States are important, but what’s most important?”

“The activities we’re doing now.”

“Good. You came to confirm if climbing to the top of the charts is real, right? It is, so hurry back and manage your condition.”

“…Yes.”

I slowly got up and left the representative’s office.

As she said, I came to confirm if it was true.

And I was still sprawled in the representative’s office because I couldn’t believe it.

But I can’t keep doing this forever, so I have to go.

It still doesn’t feel real though.

A week from then.

We somehow managed to finish our activities in that surreal atmosphere.

In the splendor of becoming great stars who drew attention everywhere, became topics of conversation, and brought honor to the country, while also strangely living ordinary daily lives internally.

And we headed to the United States.

Only after arriving in the United States did the surreal feeling seem to fade a little.

It was expected that fans would gather at the airport to welcome us.

It was similar when we visited for activities with Cael Arden before.

‘I was so surprised and moved then.’

Of course, all the members came together and Flora’s recognition had increased much more, so we faced more people than then. We greeted the fans who came to meet us more skillfully, and perhaps more familiarly, and got in the car.

The realization started to hit from here.

Luxurious accommodations arranged for a long stay.

Schedules starting before we could even unpack at the dormitory.

Rehearsals for various stages we were scheduled to appear on, interviews continuing even at the dormitory, practice rooms prepared specially for us.

The people we met for work and the system of how work operated were very different from Korea, and we were surrounded by people all day long.

Every interview included a long speech about Flora’s achievements asking how we felt, and everything from rehearsal venues to waiting rooms was different.

Even the meal menus we ate in the waiting rooms.

“I really feel like we’ve become top stars.”

Min Ha-young giggled and snuggled against me.

It didn’t feel tremendously more luxurious compared to Korea, but the environment changed so much that it finally hit me as reality that we had made it beyond Korea to here.

We had experienced it once before through activities with Cael Arden, but the feeling was different from coming as Flora, because Flora did well.

I felt very good.

Maybe that’s why I wasn’t tired even though I hadn’t adjusted to the time difference.

Like the dopamine addiction buff was activated, even when I felt a little tired, I became energetic as soon as I started working as if nothing had happened.

Not just me, but all the members were like that.

And finally came our first official schedule in the United States.

“Ah, pronunciation, my tongue is getting twisted, I’m going crazy. If it seems like we can’t communicate, I’ll just dance.”

Min Ha-young struggled while practicing interviews with Han Da-min and the interpreter.

She had prepared so much for English interviews before coming to the United States, but after being corrected on pronunciation several times, she seemed to have given up.

“Hey, why can’t a rapper pronounce English? You did fine when rapping.”

Everyone burst into laughter at Han Da-min’s words.

As she said, Min Ha-young uses smooth English pronunciation when rapping. How does it make sense that such a person can’t pronounce short interview answers?

It seemed to be a psychological problem, so she needed to have full confidence.

When the members giggled, Min Ha-young’s face turned bright red and she grumbled about why they were laughing while snuggling into Han Da-min.

Our first official schedule was the Ty Ryan Show.

It’s a famous TV show that combines talk and live performance, and K-pop singers appear on it quite often.

Although it was our first appearance, it was also the first show to reach out when Flora started becoming an issue overseas.

It was Flora’s first appearance on an American broadcast, so we prepared quite hard, but Ha-young seemed very burdened by being the only one who couldn’t speak English.

‘The company even provided an interpreter so she wouldn’t feel burdened.’

How cute.

I chuckled softly and loosened my neck lightly. The talk time wasn’t very long and I felt less burdened since I’d gotten used to it through activities with Kael Arden, but I wanted to do well with the live performance.

And shortly after, staff guided us behind the set studio.

Inside the set studio, the host was already having small talk with the audience members.

I could hear the audience laughing at the host’s simple jokes.

The host held up our album and personally explained it, saying it was the K-pop song he heard most often these days.

As our turn to appear drew closer, my heart began to pound loudly.

“Then shall we welcome them now?”

And finally, along with flashy band sounds, the curtain that had been blocking our view opened wide.

“Kyaaaaaaah!!!!”

The audience’s cheers rang out as if they had been waiting.

We greeted them and entered the set studio.
