It had already been weeks of promoting their single but there wasn't much any traction after the first week of promotions they were almost forgotten except for the few hard core fans they had gained.
They had appeared on shows, challenges all to promote their group, Junho saw how tired and stressed out everyone was, with all the non stop recording, the way when they wake up they had to go get their makeup and leave for recordings then come back just to sleep, it was a monotonous cycle of repetition.
Right now he was the studio and exercising if not for their appearances on variety shows like he had expected if not combined with NNET's promotion they would have faded into obscurity after the hype as 'Bounce' was only in the Top 80 in the song charts while 'MAMA' was at the Top 40.
Even with all the things they did the highest they got was at the Top 50 before it fell down when they had almost appeared on every music show, he was now trying to clear his mind.
Right now was when the Kpop Globalization was at its infancy stage and it wouldn't start ramping up until two years later that's why he wasn't fazed at the current state of affairs but he couldn't say the same for the others as they looked down since they all now had nothing to do.
He had currently told them to get dressed and catch up to him to dance studio as he had prepared something for them, right now he had planned lots of things for them, he had noticed that after their guesting shows and music recordings NNET and even JYP didn't do anything they were free for two months before they would start preparing for their last comeback as 'Wings'.
If they weren't gonna do things for him.
"Then I'll do it myself, now where's the best angle."
He was currently setting up a camera in the middle of the dance room, currently he was the only one, he had asked Woo-Jin to get a camera of the latest model from his own expense, he had also cleared permissions to film and upload to his personal channel.
"Well I didn't tell them what exactly I was filming but since they gave me the greenlight I'll do it."
He had planned he would start popularizing 'Relay Dances', 'Part Switches' and 'Dance Practice' neither of the three were popularized just yet, when he searched on VTube he didn't see any from any of the official agencies only from other dance crews.
"Junho."
Woo-Jin came in with a box full of papers.
"Did you print their names?"
"I got the tapes as well."
"Thanks."
"What are you gonna do anyway?"
"I'm just gonna record a few dance practice with them, I mean they aren't promoting us any longer after the music shows and a few variety shows."
"Well, the girl group is more popular than you now so their attention is all on them, have you checked the rankings?"
"Yeah, can't say I blame them but I have to put matters in my own hands if I want to survive."
"And I got your back, so when will they arrive."
"About that."
"Got it, also your income has been given out, I've used half of it to pay your idol debt and the half is here."
Woo-Jin gave Junho the card but he waved it off.
"Use it to buy gas and fetch them please, also bring me a salad, then you can give it back."
"I'm buying myself breakfast."
Woo-Jin left Junho was preparing and setting up three camera's, this time he didn't use the system's help he was doing it based from memory, he knew a few tricks based from his past life experiences and right now it was paying off in a strange way.
After a short while the stage had been set right now,
"Hyung!"
Sungjae barged in as if he hasn't seen him in years, he also had a drink in his hand, the others soon followed each and everyone had some sort of food in their hand, Woo-Jin then came and brought a huge bag.
"What's in there Hyung?"
"Meat."
"What?"
"Be right back, I'll be on my way to buy a griller."
"That's still technically my money, well anyway."
Junho then turned around to see his children and Jinyoung recording themselves already in front of the camera, he then had a problem, he didn't know who would play the music, he looked outside to see no one but after waiting a bit.
"Jihyo!"
Junho saw Jihyo along with Nayeon, and Sana walking towards his direction, the three of them were startled when Junho called them, he then motioned for them to come.
"Do you need anything Oppa?"
The three of them knew Junho, back when he was still a trainee and before 'NEXT' he had always treated them whenever he saw them along with many others in the cafeteria, they were glad as their Idol Debt wouldn't be increased.
"Are the three of you busy now?"
"No, we were just returning to the dance room."
"You guys have no classes right?"
"Mm."
"Now where did you three get the habit of going to the dance room?"
"Oppa stop teasing us and already tell us what to do."
Junho patted their heads and opened the door.
"Come in, all you guys need is to just press play."
As soon as the four of them came in they saw three boys taking different poses as Sungjae took their photos with the camera.
"When the three of you debut I hope you'll all be close with each other."
"Mm."
"Alright the four of you listen today we're gonna do this."
The four of them listened to Junho who was explaining the mechanics of the 'Relay Dance' and 'Part Switch', they all listened intently after he was finished explaining all of them had smiles on their faces as they wanted to do it.
"Let's Go!"
Mingyu shouted as he standed first in front, soon everyone followed, they didn't plan on who would dance whose part it all depended if they would pass the next part, they wanted this to be a free and fun one as they wanted to release their stress soon they all lined up.
"Play track 2!"
"Mm."
Jihyo pressed the play button as Nayeon and Sana were behind her, shortly the music began playing.
-
Somewhere.
"I feel like I missed out on something."
Woo-Jin said as he bought the griller, soon he saw Junho and Suzi's face on a poster as they endorsed TV Cosmetics, lately they had been selling like crazy, he just smiled and bought one too.
"Well I wonder if this is actually good."
