Bab 102: thank you
"Okay I want all of you to walk together and greet the fans and the reporters with respect."
Woo-Jin told them as they were only being escorted by one car today per Junho's request since today was the day most of the idols performing for the award show would practice, right now as they waited for their turn tons of people had already gathered outside.
"If you want pointers look at your Noona"
Woo-Jin pointed out Taeyeon who was ahead of them, they looked at how she bowed and waved and stood for a few pictures, they took pointers as they saw her walk confidently and made small gestures and acknowledgements to the fans and reporters.
"Remember you guys 'mysteriously' didn't show up at the airport where some people got confused and some people already knew about how you guys got a private flight, well there will be some leaks but its your chance to give them an update that you're all alive and well."
They all nodded and shortly after Taeyeon entered the venue they followed suit as Woo-Jin got out first and opened the door for them, as soon as they did the group heard camera's clicking and people screaming.
Junho went out first followed by Jinyoung, Sungjae Mingyu and Daniel, they all followed what Taeyeon did earlier, they greeted their fans and went to the extra mile and went near them to take some pictures with them.
The rest of them signed some albums that were given to them and quickly signed it while Junho took people's phone's and camera's to take a picture with them, they noticed no one was behind them so they took an extra minute to interact with them.
Shortly Woo-Jin clapped from the side so they could take a group photo, they all waved everyone goodbye as they took a group photo for the camera and went inside but before they could they could hear people screaming and cheering them.
"So how was that Hyung?"
Sungjae asked as they all went inside slowly, yesterday there weren't many people and decorations set up yet but right now the whole center was filled with staff members and such.
"Well I can't say you guys were right or wrong but now you've given an image that you guys care for your fans like that, so everyone is gonna expect you're gonna keep doing that, I won't say you shouldn't have done that but hey its your group's image and its still a good one, but remember when its time for the events don't interact like that you wouldn't noticed they grabbed something from you."
They all nodded and followed Woo-Jin quietly, right now the five of them knew they couldn't be loud or themselves as they had to be respectful and courteous since they were in the presences of many prestigious idols as well.
"In terms of looks I do have to say I look like an Idol as well I wonder if I should dye my hair blue?"
Woo-Jin joked as they all laughed since aside from them they all male idols still weren't copying their style from now, they all walked slowly to look at different managers, groups and idols talking to their staff.
"Where's Euri and Nayeon-Noona?"
Daniel asked as he and the rest of the boys had grown close with the two of them since one of them would always be with them during their recordings or shoots.
"They'll be here in half an hour, they said they were buying materials and stuff its still practice day so you really shouldn't worry about your looks aside from entering and exiting the venue."
"You guys are here, I'm the floor director, my name is Ming Ye-Chan, so you're going to be practicing after Taeyeon, right now there are still five groups ahead of you, follow after me I'll be showing you to your seats now and on the day of the event."
Everyone followed him silently as they were now behave, as they were walking they saw some familiar faces and waved at them, right now although it was practice time and every minute was precious waving at their friends and acquaintances was nothing to be afraid of.
"You guys should definitely do everything you can to cheer for them right now since nobody is around and phones by the staff's aren't allowed."
"Why so?"
Junho asked even though he knew but not everyone in the group knew why.
"Unless you read online forums and articles its easy to be caught in a scandal just because you cheered for them."
They all were shocked and wanted to ask more, Ming Ye-Chan continued on as they walked slowly.
"Just Imagine this, Junho was just looking at let's say Hyuna or even just a glance over there who is just sitting and fans caught wind of it or snapped a photo of you'll probably end up in the front page with dating rumors."
"Is it really that bad?"
"Of course it is, another thing is, its okay for you to bop your heads or jam when its JYP, Taeyeon's or any other Pegasus' artist songs there aren't any issues there, but let's say you do it for SNSD or KARA over there but you don't for 'f(x)' or BoA boom you're on the front page again for who knows what."
"Including Light?"
"Light is probably a pass since you all came from the same show, but yeah that will get you into random scandals, rumor's or any negative thing so it's either you vibe and dance to the music the entire night or you stay stoic and just lightly bop your head to every performer."
"Thanks for the Information Ahjussi."
"No problem its what I should say to rookies like you, well other than you guys creating a care free image its probably the stoic face during the awards is the safest way to go but since PSY is here hey who knows you guys might change things."
They waved goodbye at Ming Ye-Chan, as they sat down near Taeyeon.
"Did you guys finally get the talk?"
"Yeah."
"What do you think?"
"It's annoying but you get used to it."
The six of them continued to speak with their voices lowly as they didn't want to be rude and they continued watching the performances in front of them, it was currently a collaboration performance, the stage was called "Beats Rock The World" performed by Gaeko of Dynamic Duo, Zico, Double K, Loco, Davichi and Chuija
"Say Hyung."
Mingyu whispered to Junho as they were bopping their heads.
"You think I can rap like them?"
"If you believed that you can do it who says you can't? Watch them and learn it's a good experience to watch how the seniors do it."
As they were listening to the performance in front of them Woo-Jin came to them and whispered to Junho.
"JYP wanted to ask if he could drop the trailers today, are you fine with that?"
"Yeah I guess it should be time."
"Alright I'll tell him now, and he should arrive about an hour later he says he got stuck in traffic."
Woo-Jin knew he wasn't stuck in traffic but he didn't want them to know what really happened right now he had done his task and told everyone back at Korea especially the marketing team to drop the trailers.
"Due to some performers being late and some are incomplete we will have to move some practices today, for now I'm calling Wings and Taeyeon for their stages to perform and then proceed for the solo and group performances before the collaboration stage."
To Taeyeon and Wings they weren't surprised but to the others they were, they didn't know they had a collaboration together, everyone of the people present were listing down tracks where either Wings or Taeyeon had someone featuring either one of them but they only knew of "I".
To them it was highly unlikely for that song to be turned into a group performance, as they were discussing which song it was some of the idols were eager to see what they were gonna do now, as they looked at them go on stage.
"Oh, maybe it's just a Pegasus' Stage."
Many of them commented as the stage started singing with 'Fine', then it was Junho's turn along with Wings who performed 'Really Really' and 'God's Menu.' It was the songs everyone expected them to sing and they clapped their hands for their performance, it was until Chae Minsu decided to announce.
"Alright get ready for your next song, we're still getting used to the camera angles since this would be the first."
Many stopped and listened to what Minsu had said, they were now eagerly waiting for them to perform now.

"So what do you think?"
Park Minho who was with JYP right now were discussing terms.
"I do like the sound of it, can you distribute to the west?"
"If things go well I can start buying estate and start now, I'm friends with various western channels, I'll help you connect with some of my friends in return."
"Junho's freedom?"
"He is already free, he was never locked or caged he knew he just needed an agency big enough to promote and use their name, let's not get into that conversation, so what will it be? I won't touch your Korean distributors mainly I just want to be the main distributor in the Chinese and Western Market."
"I understand, I'll come back with my lawyers next week."
Park Minho nodded and shook his hand they talked for awhile as they went outside.
"Take care, and also Junho."
"I will, thank you for your hospitality."
"Ah right that reminds me they're going to Disneyland next week, of course I rented the place for a day would you like to come?"
"Probably not."
"Alright take care once more."
Park Minho said as JYP left for the convention center, right now he had nothing else to do.
"Ah right where is Ae-Cha I think we need to visit the convention center they're performing see what we can donate."
