And sorry for the wait
----------------
From the many people who were excited and were closely paying attention to Shining Industries' new hype. A-Yeong is one of them, she had been one of the many people who had followed Shining until they had to close and stop activities, she had grown fond of the company's way of dealing with affairs and even the way they handled their artists.
She had followed many of the artists who without a shred of loyalty went to the competitors, a happening she was in disbelief in and even criticized SN for just letting them go like that. After months of silence and what A-Yeong thought was the end of the company, but she watched what seemed like the trainee's evaluation video that had been released.
Just the sheer mood and emotions that were transmitted by the video, grew her to tears and consequently moved her to search more about this trainee Ryuu. Watching the instrumental music done by this youth, or so she assumed on was just plain joyful for her. The trainee just had something on him that deeply captivated her on many levels.
Everything about this boy just engrained and made her curiosity grow through time. He was very good with the guitar and the piano, he sang well too and the man went silent for quite a while now. So it had been a waiting game until she heard about the rumors and news about SN, how could she miss it when she was part of the loyal fanbase of SN. It was obvious the company wanted them to see that they were making something great, and had even once been 'leaked' a picture of the supposed photoshoot.
The person posing was none other than Ryuu, the artist her curiosity had never died on ever since she found out about him.
The youth was wearing a tech wear outfit, and A-Yeong had to add many times that he looked just priceless wearing those clothes. She was a lover of dark theme colors herself and just looking at the clothes the youth wore, indeed hit her in a soft spot.
A-Yeong is just a college student with the only stress coming to her being deadlines and exams, she was 24 years old and to add up she had an intimidating vibe to her although she is a soft and kind hearted person on the inside. This view of her came from her clothing theme which mostly consisted of tech wear. The color choices of her clothes too didn't vary much from black and white but she enjoyed it none the less after all she had to feel good about herself before even thinking about what others thought about her, just a motto she went by with.
But watching the similarity of the style she fell over heels for what was to come. A vest jacket with the iconic utility pockets followed with underneath a close to skin tight sweater, followed with black cargo pants and black boots, with a couple of accessories which were the straps and everything in place, and the iconic face mask which began hiding the nose down to the chin, not hiding the cross necklace he had around the neck, nothing over the top but it just screamed to make a standing. A-Yeong was surprised by the physical condition shown by the youth in the picture.
She had seen his videos and as perceptive, she was she could see the changes through video, but this was something compared with how he looking there, maybe she had been misdirected by the baggy sweater he wore in every video, but the obvious point was the legs, they grew in a noticeable way. She was quite the observative type and just made her catch these little things throughout.
But it was a pleasant surprise, she wouldn't say no to this little treat to the eyes.
The youth just stared down at the camera while he had his arms crossed, it looked casual yet instilled a little bit of pressure in itself obviously nothing out of proportion, but the stare was something that had made her feel that. Maybe it was because once she looked towards his eyes she just couldn't stare back at it after a while, the peculiarity of his eyes might be the sole answer to it or the way he transmitted emotions through his look alone.
But certainly, she could see the overflowing confidence that the youth gave. Something that was new for her since mostly the man had confusion and sadness in his eyes, and A-Yeong enjoyed the changes for sure. To the point, she even used the picture as her wallpaper of the phone.
Maybe it had been her expectation but once the day of the release came she just couldn't focus throughout the day, she felt like time didn't flow as fast as she wished for.
Once it was 6 pm right in time, she was already waiting for it and saw right away the new video posted by SN. Elated she went forward and clicked and focused on the video.
[SN- Where Is Your Hero Now] ( For people who dont know this is epic music. Might help find the music.)
The video began and right off the bat a couple of lines flowed in a neon light style and formed the SN letters, that didn't particularly impress A-Yeong, and she couldn't particularly ponder about it for long since her attention was taken by the sound of the music, the sound in itself brought a strong feeling to her, not particularly something she heard often but it wasn't unpleasant for sure. In synch with the music, a top view of a forest could be seen on screen, and the image began changing scenarios to each beat, in which in the last a figure she knew very well was seen looking right back without blinking, and in synch, he began moving, powerful and captivating movements were show, mixed together with soft movements, the music could spook a person out, and bring a sensation of strength, while Ryuu danced to the music while not breaking eye contact was a highlight for itself, but she couldn't ponder longer since the scene changed and now a couple of people could be seen wandering around a forest, 5 people could be seen in a similar outfit, the figures were just moving around in the woods, it was quick until one of the figures stared right back at the screen and the screen began glitching once more.
The image came back with the group now dancing and performing joined by Ryuu who was in the middle and they were dancing to the music as the movements grew harder and harder while from time to time the screen would glitch and more dancers would join in various tech outfits, the moves they did was enchanting in a way and the coordination they had was something priceless, it could be said that there were now no less than 20 people dancing and it only brought her awe to see such coordination in the many dancers, the tempo of the music just went faster and higher until the last seconds of the music where it dropped, and the dancer she noticeably recognized as Ryuu who was in the forefront looked at the screen once again, stopping on his tracks, the screen glitched again and showed a back view of a man walking with a long jacket with words big and clear for people to see. A-Yeong just decided to look at the man's steady catwalk come to a stop, and turn his head slightly to glance at the camera and move on to leave a mansion and just disappear into a forest.
A-Yeong didn't rest though and rewind the video to read the words drawn on the back of the coat. Once she pondered by the obvious meaning of the sentence she couldn't help but smile. Satisfaction wasn't enough to describe her mood.
In A circular way with what seemed like a white blooming Rose in the center with SN on the middle contrasting. The sentences were around and separated by big dots.
'Roses Lose Their Petals ⚫ To Bloom Again⚫'
A-Yeong was definitely hyped after watching this video, and this fresh and weird sensation didn't leave her and she ended up just watching the video many times again.
Something that could be seen in many houses of the people who were fortunate enough to be in the same situation as A-Yeong.
