Chapter 81 - Say

"Why are you all worried about this showcase."

Junho looked at everyone from the backstage as it had only been minutes since the place was open, right now Junho had asked to hide their phones and give it to Woo-Jin, currently there were a few select fans who had pre-ordered their album.

"I can never get used to it like you Hyung."

"Me neither, although there are still a few people but."

"Relax the both of you, just do your best and the rest will follow, worry about what happens next when its all over, right now just do what I always say."

"Perform like its your last."

Both Sungjae and Daniel smiled as Junho patted their heads since the two of them were shorter than him.

"What are you guys talking about?"

"We were talking about how long it took you guys to finish your makeup."

Sungjae chuckled at Mingyu and Jinyoung who still had stylists following them around.

"Say are there are a lot of people?"

Junho asked Nayeon who had been walking around the place since earlier, in fact most of the people from Junho's agency were nervous since this would be their first time working on a live performance, while Junho provided the personnel the Agency and Network made the stage props and programs.

"There are, and you stop moving and fidgeting."

Nayeon said as she did her best after awhile everyone was ready, she looked at them and was satisfied, with what she had done, she did what Junho had told her and in her mind it was also the best option she felt like she had done something memorable.

"You guys are up in 30 seconds go now."

Sungmin said as he rushed.

"Oh right I believe in you guys."

He said nonchalantly, he for one was angry but for awhile since he couldn't coax out one song, he had just heard of the songs when the albums came out and was frustrated that he was left out but he didn't mind it either since he knew he was bad at managing.

"Thanks Hyung."

"Now go there's a lot of people outside."

The group looked at each other one last time and smiled.

"Fighting!"

-

Woo-Jin who was outside looking at the crowds line up saw different posters, cards, and signage of the group especially Junho, he didn't know whether he should be happy or worried about Junho.

"Oppa"

"What is it Euri?"

"Look we made the news!"

Woo-Jin grabbed the phone and in front of him that Euri shoved he looked at the lines that were going up with each passing second, he as manager was clueless until he saw the logos on the right.

"Is it a PAK?"

"After a few more minutes it will be! If you look closely everyone that's still lining up is still viewing the video! Even the fancafe is vehemently spamming the likes on VTube! Say Oppa is it okay to reveal I'm their stylist? You know promote mine and Nayeon's shop?."

"Junho wouldn't stop you and I won't as long as you're available when we need you both and most importantly just don't reveal about the comebacks until I say so."

"Got it!"

"Go for it, Oh yeah I've been meaning to get my hair done and looking at Junho and the boys my current haircut makes me feel old already."

-

"This place is really packed, well they do have Junho and it has been hyped up for the past few weeks."

JYP said as he sat in front, he looked from left to right only to see people with different signs and posters, he too was in fact curious how they would perform as he had only heard the music and even though he had viewed the music video that got released only an hour earlier there only a few snippets of the choreography.

"What if I change my hair too."

"No your hair is iconic already don't even bother."

"And here I thought you'd never arrive."

"I couldn't miss the new hotshot of Pegasus can I especially when I'm free?"

Jeong Ji-hoon said as he sat down next to JYP.

"You got discharged already?"

"Yeah just a while back, I'm actually curious about your new boy group."

"You'd be surprised by their leader, are you planning for a comeback already?"

"Sort of, I'll tell you first if I do."

"Speaking of hairs you also look outdated."

"That's because."

"It's starting."

Shortly the lights went out and every fans screamed at the top of their lungs, both JYP and Jeong Ji-hoon laughed as since they knew they wouldn't be able to hear each other now.

-

'Yes, sir and ma'am'

'Welcome!'

'It's easy to choose what you want in this store'

'Anything on the menu will satisfy your all five senses'

As soon as the music started everyone screamed again as the boys sang with the beat, everyone who had worked hard had felt relief when they sang as if their months of preparation was worth it and had finally paid off.

'Hottest menus that will never cool off'

'Imprint those flavors on your palate'

'DU DU DU DU DU DU'

Even though the staff had seen them practice the song multiple times their performance today felt different, little did they know that Junho had buffed everyone with his skills, he had been finishing missions left and right and right now he was using them to the full extent as to leave an impression on everyone once again.

'Cookin' like a chef I'm a 5 star Michelin'

'Reached the peak of "taste" I see it illusion'

Everyone had taken out their phones and camera as some had heard of this part from Junho but some didn't this time even JYP and Jeong Ji-hoon were in awe at how wide Junho's vocal range was, the fans screamed his name during this part.

People were mesmerized as they finally felt that this was what they should have been from the start, everyone was happy, excited and wanted to enjoy the showcase, the lucky ones that were selected promised themselves to brag about being here as they felt it was going to be an important moment in the industry.

As soon as the music and lights faded once again the screams still kept continuing as everyone got up to clap as they didn't expect this type of music as soon as the lights went up they were all wondering.

They were still in a huddle, everyone thought it was the same 'Wings' as they would do weird stuff or huddles during their introductions but as soon as a beat came in everyone once again screamed at the top of their lung.

'Leggo world i gonggan soge bimil (shimmy shimmy)'

'Gakkaomyeon gamyeon gateun gimme (gimme gimme)'
