Dohyun was wearing a flamboyant military-style uniform.
To Reporter Yoo, he looked like a prince from a kingdom.
‘What kind of question should I ask Dohyun to leave a lasting impression?’
Many entertainment reporters were fans of someone. Reporter Yoo also became an entertainment reporter because she was a fan of someone.
Of course, she also became a fan of Dohyun while working and having to watch broadcast programs frequently.
In any case, she wanted to support Dohyun, who would soon start his concert, with a thoughtful question.
“Hello, we will now begin the press conference for Na Dohyun’s first concert, ‘Dreams Come True.’ We ask for enthusiastic questions from the reporters.”
As soon as the head of the Huen Entertainment PR team finished speaking, Reporter Yoo raised her hand. Others might not know, but Reporter Yoo was also human, so her hands were trembling while asking the question. Her palms were sweating.
“Hello, I am Yoo Hana from Sports Daily. First of all, congratulations on Na Dohyun’s concert. You have entered the Gymnastics Stadium after a significant journey. Can you tell us the key highlights of today’s performance?”
Dohyun smiled at Reporter Yoo’s question.
Dohyun grabbed the microphone and began to speak.
“Thank you, Reporter Yoo Hana! The key highlights today are, first, the hair, makeup, and costumes that fans will adore, a live band, a stage where we have prepared everything that fans wanted to hear, and the first release of the repackage album. I hope the reporters enjoy it too!”
‘Crazy! He’s already beautiful, but even crazier hair, makeup, and costumes! Is that even possible?’
Reporter Yoo quickly contacted her fan friend via SNS messenger.
-This is amazing, lol. Na Dohyun is crazy today, really.
-No spoilers.
-It’s not a spoiler, but Na Dohyun is really amazing, so look forward to it. I asked the first question, and Na Dohyun is that beauty descended from heaven.
While Reporter Yoo was exchanging messages with her friend and sending out articles, questions from various reporters continued.
Dohyun finished the short 30-minute press conference and got up from his seat.
“Then, I will repay you with a great performance! Thank you!”
* * *
Three minutes before the concert started.
The concert VCR was being shown on the large screen.
Dohyun checked his condition once again before going on stage.
The stylists’ hands were busy, and he also checked if there were any problems with his in-ear monitors.
Dohyun was scheduled to appear by jumping up from the protruding stage and singing one of his songs.
“Okay, Dohyun. Hurry over here.”
Dohyun moved below the protrusion.
Then he suddenly looked at the stage structure.
‘Hmm, the stage structure is usually built like this, but something doesn’t feel right.’
Dohyun, who had been feeling like he was flying just a moment ago, suddenly became worried when he saw the stage structure.
If the stage were to collapse during the performance, it would be a disaster.
Even if he got hurt, it would be okay, but an accident could occur where the staff under the stage could get hurt.
‘Let’s get rid of the unnecessary [잡스러운] thoughts. Let’s nail the first song!’
“5 seconds left!”
Dohyun heard the staff’s voice and stood on the stage device.
5.
4.
3.
2.
1.
“I feel good!”
Dohyun appeared, singing the intro of ‘I feel good,’ one of the B-side tracks.
“Kyaaaaaaa!”
“Na Dohyun! Na Dohyun! Na Dohyun! Na Dohyun!”
The fans started chanting Dohyun’s name. Dohyun felt a thrilling sensation flowing through his body.
This is why the stage is good. This is why other singers perform until the very end. Dohyun thought.
He sang and danced like his body was breaking.
The louder he sang, the louder the fans’ voices became.
Dohyun felt like he was about to cry even though it was the first song.
The purple cheering sticks filled the concert hall.
It was telling him that he was alive and being reborn as a true singer.
* * *
The standing area was literally hell.
Photographers pushed and shoved to take better pictures of Dohyun, putting their cameras on the shoulders of the people in front and secretly taking pictures and hiding.
People recklessly pushed and shoved to see Dohyun better.
The security guards were holding onto the standing fence, but it seemed like the fence would collapse.
Dohyun saw the scene on stage and opened his mouth when it was time for greetings.
“I’m Na Dohyun! Hello, everyone!”
“Oppa, hello!”
“Na Dohyun, I love you!”
“Sa, save me!”
Laughter erupted from the seats at the cry for help, but the fans in the standing area were not in a position to laugh.
“Everyone, the standing area seems dangerous, so let’s all take a step back.”
The security guards also asked them to take a step back, but that was not going to happen.
“Hwaaa! Stop pushing! I’m going to die!”
“Save me, Dohyun!”
Dohyun took out the in-ear monitor from one ear and listened to the fans’ voices as they were.
Before the stage started, he was worried that the stage would collapse, but now he was worried that the fans would remember his performance as hell.
“Everyone, I ask you one last time. Please step back a little bit in the standing area!”
The standing area hesitated slightly at those words.
“Everyone, how was the first song?”
“Marry me! Marry me! Dohyun!”
“I’m suing Na Dohyun! Guilty human Na Dohyun!”
All sorts of *joo-jeop* [cringey/flirty comments] were echoing loudly in the Gymnastics Stadium.
Dohyun’s face was filled with a smile at the sound.
“Thank you, everyone. Thanks to you, I was able to start the concert like this. Let’s all run together today! I will complete a stage that will not disappoint those of you who came after *picketting* [ticket wars], which is said to be a bloody war!”
Dohyun disappeared behind the stage, and the second VCR was played.
This time was for Dohyun to change his clothes.
Dohyun wore a suit for his second outfit. However, he added a slightly sexy feel by wearing the tie loosely.
This time, he was going to appear on the main stage and roam to the protruding stage.
“Okay, let’s go!”
* * *
Reporter Yoo was the most ecstatic she had ever been in her career as a reporter.
She couldn’t be more ecstatic than this.
Na Dohyun.
How could her heart beat so fast at these three letters?
Reporter Yoo Hana thought that her long solo life was all because of Na Dohyun.
It had been eight years since she became an entertainment reporter. She was at the team leader level now, and she should have had some free time, but she was busy filling the gaps with Na Dohyun.
Reporter Yoo Hana’s heart started beating when she saw Dohyun walking around the second floor of the Gymnastics Stadium and throwing signed balls to the fans.
Please!
Please give her a signed ball!
With this wish, Reporter Yoo unknowingly got up from her seat and shouted Dohyun’s name as he approached.
Dohyun, who was on stage, showed off his *kki* [natural charm/talent] when he saw the reporters’ seats.
He winked, made hearts above his head, and finger hearts to induce a response from the reporters.
The reporters, who already had a crush on Dohyun, folded their laptops and got up from their seats to respond.
“Here!”
Reporter Yoo Hana’s loud voice pierced through the voices of the other reporters and reached Dohyun.
At that moment, Dohyun recognized Reporter Yoo’s face.
He was able to recognize her because she was the reporter who asked him the first question.
Dohyun adjusted his strength and threw the signed ball towards Reporter Yoo.
Reporter Yoo was excited that her singer had made eye contact with her, and when the ball flew, she caught it with all her might.
“Nice ball!”
Reporter Yoo received envious glances.
“Wow, senior! I’m so jealous.”
“You could make a lot of money selling that, right?”
“Senior, aren’t you lucky? All the fans are jealous.”
Reporter Yoo’s shoulders shrugged at the murmurs of the surrounding reporters.
“I’m not going to sell it. I’m going to keep this at home!”
In the meantime, Dohyun moved away from the area where the reporters were.
Reporter Yoo touched the signed ball while looking at Dohyun’s receding back.
Na Dohyun, why didn’t I know about such an existence when he first debuted?
* * *
The last part was to appear on the protruding stage.
I was less worried about the structure of the stage than before the start.
The stage, which seemed to be built poorly, was more solid than I thought.
“Dohyun, are you ready?”
The last VCR was playing.
While the VCR, which was about six minutes long, was playing, I decided to decorate the end of the stage well.
“Yes. I’m all ready!”
The *shimpan* [judgement] card came to my mind.
This concert will be an opportunity to increase my popularity even more.
A golden opportunity to become a singer who is trusted, seen, and heard.
I couldn’t miss the opportunity. Now that I’ve risen this high, I had to finish the stage by showing a better performance.
“10 seconds left.”
In 10 seconds, I will be on stage with the microphone in my hand.
Then I will sing an encore song and finish the stage.
The countdown started, and I bent down and then stretched out.
That was the moment.
Wobble!
I felt the stage shake slightly.
I was a little scared, but I closed my eyes and started singing on it, thinking it would be nothing.
My eyes felt like they were about to cry at the sight of the purple light filling the Gymnastics Stadium.
It was the same when I started, but now I really felt like I was going to burst into tears.
Let’s hold back the tears.
Because if I cry, my fans will cry too.
I was singing while trying to hold back my tears when I felt it shaking again.
I couldn’t know the situation under the stage because I was wearing in-ear monitors on both sides.
But I could sense that something was happening under the stage.
“Dohyun! It’s dangerous!”
Someone shouted. The voice was so loud that it pierced through the in-ear monitors.
Me, now, in danger?
I continued singing with a question mark in my head.
And the moment I took a step off the stage.
쾅쾅 [Sound of impact]!
Wobble wobble!
The stage shook, and my body lost its balance.
I dropped the microphone without realizing it.
“Na Dohyun!”
“Dohyun!”
As my balance collapsed, my body fell backward against my will.
쿵 [Thud]!
The part where I was standing collapsed.
Soon, the fans’ screams echoed in the Gymnastics Stadium.
Ah, this can’t be happening.
I can’t end the first day of my first concert like this!
Thinking that way, my mind became faint.
“Hold the stage! Hold Dohyun so he doesn’t get hurt!”
All sorts of sounds were heard.
Ah, no.
I can’t end the stage like this!
But the microphone was already out of my hand, and the part where I was standing had collapsed.
My mind disappeared.
