" And now, walking onto the stage is 'Lead'!" said the Host as five boys walked on to the stage in front of the venue. "In front is the leader of the group, Zian. Followed by Shou, Nick, Jin, and Kuon." The crowd started to cheer as they stood on stage and bowed. The photographers clicked pictures of their every moment, not missing a single thing they do.
After a few minutes of greeting the crowd and posing for the cameras, the group signed the board and walked off the stage, towards the entrance of the stadium. As the next group was about to enter, they heard people screaming. Startled, they turned back to see the crowd going crazy for a group of 5 boys.
" And now, we have 'THE ONES' walking onto the stage!!!". the reporters were all excited by the crowds' reaction.
"Tsk, the copycats are here." hissed Nick.
The members of Lead watched the Boys on stage, as they greeted the crowd and posed for the cameras, and frowned. The style and theme of their outfits were very similar to theirs.
"Not just our songs, but even our outfits huh?" retorted Shou frowning.
"Don't let them get to you brothers. Let us go in first. The show is just starting," said Kuon calmly, trying to hold in his excitement, and walked towards the entrance.
Hearing the words of the youngest, Zian and the others smiled and followed him into the building.
Little did anyone know, the disaster that was brewing around the corner.
~A few months earlier~
A black van stopped in front of Starline entertainment's Office and five boys exited the van, looking completely exhausted.
"~Sigh~, done already, huh?" said a voice, looking at the boys as they walked into the 50 storied building.
Dressed in an oversized hoodie with a cap on, a girl sat on the roof of the office leaning onto the railing. Her hair, tied up into a ponytail, fell right on her shoulders.
"Ninna! Please be careful. And go back inside now... you have been outside for too long" said a worried voice through the phone that was placed on the floor beside her.
" I don't feel like going back though...It's nice and peaceful here~" she whined looking at the twilight sky.
"Nin! Stop being a kid!! you have a busy day tomorrow... you have a meeting with the Zian electronics C.E.O. You do understand how important this meeting is to NexIn, don't you? What if you get sick?" said the voice.
" Yeah, Yeah. Stop nagging King. I will be there by 9 tomorrow morning." she said smirking.
" Its 'Shane'" said Shane irritated.
" Its 'Shane' for others, and 'King' for me," she said teasingly putting her tongue out.
" ~sigh~, fine. Repeat after me, 'at 9 am on 12th June'" said Shane.
"urgh, I'm not a kid... I will remember!" Ninna said, a vein popping on her forehead as she closed her eyes trying to maintain her composure.
"At 9 am on 12th June" repeated Shane.
Knowing he won't leave her without finishing it, she sighed and repeated after him." At 9 am on 12th June,"
" Zian electronics C.E.O "
" Zian electronics C.E.O "
"NexIn Main Office".
" NexIn Main Office".
" Good. Now that I have recorded what you said as proof, make sure to be in the NexIn main office by 9 tomorrow morning. Now go in, your group practice starts at 6 pm. " Shane said teasing her and ended the call.
"urgh, treating me like a kid, " Ninna whined.
Pulling back the sweater that covered her left hand, she looked at her watch.
" OH MY.." she gasped. it was already 5:50 pm.
" I'M LATE!!!" she shrieked as she got up and ran towards the stairs.
