"Now, let us welcome, our special guest, Tomorrow x Together!"

A round of applause came from the staff around me and the music of their latest album came blaring through the speakers.

I smiled at them as they took their respective seats.

After years of working hard, I finally have my radio show on the broadcasting company I interned in before.

"Finally! I got you guys on my show!" I exclaimed to which the boys laughed.

"We also have waited to be interviewed by the one and only, Choi Haneul," Taehyun said with a teasing smile.

I rolled my eyes at him and smiled, "It took a while, I mean you guys have been so busy, how has everything been?"

I started the interview with a question from the list that I was supposed to ask them. Some from me and some from the fans.

"It's been overwhelming, we just celebrated our second anniversary and the love and support from MOAs have always been strong and consistent so it still feels like a feverish dream." Soobin, who was the leader, spoke with perfect lines.

I smiled, they have come a long way. I am proud to say that I have been with them through everything.

"Well, MOAs definitely have been there ever since and even now, some have entered their questions for you." I smiled.

Beomgyu bit his lip to stop himself from laughing aloud. He wasn't used to seeing me like this.

"Here's one question, what has been the hardest thing you experienced as a group?"

I looked at them and they started to look around looking for someone to answer.

I glared at them when they took their time so Yeonjun laughed and answered.

"I think it's just the expectations, we joined the company before it got big, but we debuted when it was starting to make some noise in the industry so people start to assume that we never really had a hard time." Yeonjun sighed.

I smiled safely, I was with them when they were bombarded with hate just because of their company.

Comparing them to their seniors and people talking about how privileged they were.

"I think all trainees have a hard time, no matter what company. I mean we've lost some friends because of how hard it was to be a trainee, the constant struggle of no assurance." Beomgyu spoke after my brother.

I knew what he was talking about.

Heeseung.

My chest started to get tight even when he didn't even say his name. Just the thought of him makes me breathless.

They nodded and added, "I've seen our friends get lost because of the uncertainty of being an idol trainee so I really hope that people don't discredit our hard work."

I smiled, "Yes, being an idol definitely is a hard path. So to all critics out there, no matter what company they got out from or whether they got fame from a survival show, there is no such thing as privilege. These groups worked hard to achieve what they have."

Huening smiled at me knowing what I meant.

He told me about Heeseung finally debuting through I-land. I know they'd also have a hard time so I wanted to say that as well.

After all, he was also a friend of mine before.

"I guess that's the message Tomorrow x Together wants to spread through their fans, right?" I said to keep us on track with the topics.
