"Wow, they spare no one. I knew fans could go crazy but even the celebrities are bad-mouthing you two."
joongi kept sliding to new channels and most of the celebrities were asked to comment on haneul and mi Jung being a model for the up and coming photobook of Alvaro Edna. The wave of comments and the articles kept growing by the minute. It didn't look like people were going to stop anytime soon.
Even though members were happy that some of their members got a big opportunity, they couldn't help but get worried about them. Some comments were so mean that they teared up. Haneul didn't look like he was feeling bad about it but he wasn't feeling good either. Complaints were so much that it put on a mountain of pressure on haneul and mi Jung. With this many eyes watching them like hawks they had no choice but to be exceptionally good at what they were going to do.
Mi Jung came into the living room and sight of seven people huddled together greeted him. Were they still looking at the news? Why? He took a brief look at the big screen on the wall opposite of his group members. Dozens of comments under articles and windows showing different channels but the same content.
" Don't think too much about it. People have mouths so they will talk. We can do nothing about it. Let's watch a movie."
Mi Jung leisurely walked to the kitchen to get some snacks and drinks. They were not going to shoot until spring so there is no way to shut people up for now. Constantly reading negative articles and watching those discussions would only spoil their mood.
A few days passed by and the group concentrated on their comeback instead of the news and what people were saying. There would be people coming to watch their practice sessions occasionally with contempt on their faces. A day before their music video got broadcasted, Alvaro Edna spoke to Y channel in a short interview.
" People are saying that you are making a big mistake with casting two unknown idols as models, what do you think about it?"
The long brown-haired female reporter asked with a plastic smile on her face. Edna raised his head, a sarcastic smile could be seen under his red sports cap.
" People always say that I'm insane but they keep praising my works. I don't do what people ask me to do, I do what gives the best feels for my work. Mi Jung and haneul are the best models for my concept and I won't work anyone other than them for that theme. I would rather not do the photobook at all if I can't photograph them. Have a nice day."
A female reporter's face showed a stunned expression with her mouth agape and she didn't know what to say for a minute before finally getting herself together. In the time it took her to comprehend the words said, Edna already walked from the place without hesitation. His words blocked some black-hearted celebrities' roads that thought of pressuring the unknown idols to call off the contract with Edna. Afterall if the idols rejected him, he would need to select someone else sooner or later.
Edna's words showed his determination to capture those two idols with his camera. Which gave birth to bigger controversies. What was it this world-famous photographer can see that they can not in those idols? Beauty? Beautiful people were everywhere in the industry. Temperament? Some models perfected their temperaments for years in the circle. Body? Youth? All these questions made people more curious about these idols.
On the next day when A-GEN's second mini-album got released and their mv broadcasted on their company channel. It broke a record by getting the most views in an hour. Company servers broke down one after another and view count got higher and higher. Millions of views in just a few hours out of spite. Jin hwan watched it with a gleeful light in his eyes.
Because of the recent negative movements against A-GEN, the comment section of the video was disabled. But it didn't stop people from sharing the video while commenting on it. While most of the people were bashing the idols, a lot of people showed extraordinary interest in the song. Some unexpected praises were made from fans making A-GEN the most searched topic on the sky network.
Redcat: What is this song? Ballad? EH? Is this a requiem? An idol song? O.O
Thegodcametoseeme: The song contains some unique elements. I can not even make what some of the instruments are used in it?
Anothersunflower: Isn't it so sad? The story and the song combination of the music video made me cry a river. TT TT TT TT
winnerforlife: " You told me to bury your ashes on his dimples. If he is smiling when you are dead then the only ocean is befitting of your ashes." Just who wrote these lyrics?
cryariver: I cried when these lyrics came... " Please, don't put her in the dark. Don't close her eyes. In case she cries." Just how much you need to love someone to write these? I will go to give a kiss to my mother.
A live performance of the show started after a few hours. Group members took part in the writing process but mi Jung and jay wrote the most of the song. They felt a lump in their throats and nervousness took control of their body. They would constantly warm up. Even if the choreography for this song was not hard it was emotional and hard to express. They were going to perform this title track, a sidetrack and sing live the other four songs. Reporters and the fans were looking forward to seeing the songs performed live, some of them to scorn and some of them to enjoy.
But no one knew the last performance would be given a name by the people. Most heart-wretching song performance 'Devil's cries'.
