Three weeks passed again.

The end of the summer had approached just like this.

And many major things happened.

One, 5Note's first single album, titled Chaotic Wonderland was released. Its lead single, Lo$er= Lover, was received greatly by the public, and you could find countless people walking around Seoul with their headphones in, listening to it.

Can't blame them; the song was quite the hit.

However, fans were especially surprised by two things. One were the lyrics of the song, which sounded so heartfelt and written so poetically.

But second were the two other songs.

First, they thought this was a severe case of plagiarism, but after an official statement from High B, everything was cleared up.

What am I talking about.

Well, on Chaotic Wonderland, there were covers of two of DAY6's most successful songs, their debut hit single Congratulations and the most beloved song of the Every DAY6 series, You Were Beautiful.

Plenty of fans were in tears listening to them.

Two, Yeongsoo School of Music for Elites received a couple notices from a few of their students within a week of the album release.

One of them was Beomgyu, who decided to transfer his scholarship back to his hometown Daegu, meaning he'll leave Seoul soon.

The second was Soobin, who was needed back in Ansan and therefore requested a temporary withdrawal from the college. He, too, was going to leave soon.

Yeonjun had no plans of dropping out of college, as he only had one year left, but he too made his decision to go back to Daegu once he graduates.

Taehyun and Kai, who obviously lived in town, had no plans of dropping out or moving away. However, they were indeed sad that they wouldn't be able to see their hyungs around as much anymore (Yeonjun as well, as he will be busy studying).

Upon hearing these sudden news that were also published in High B's official statement discussing the future of 5Note, fans started getting cold sweat.

And those who had their friends nearby while reading it were lucky to have had someone to gasp and cry with after finishing the statement.

Third, High B officially announced 5Note's disbandment, just a week after the album was released. They explained just the bare minimum, as the boys themselves requested, saying they will terminate their contracts due to personal reasons and pursuits. High B apologized numerous times for the sudden news, but they weren't done.

No, it wasn't bad news.

The company was planning to hold a special concert as a goodbye to fans, with tickets as cheap as 50,000 won. Why you may ask? Well, and the boys discussed this with a certain group, the plan was that 5Note will perform all of their covers live at the concert, along with Run Away and Lo$er= Lover, and because they didn't want to completely profit off the original artists, the tickets were cheap.

Probably why they were sold out quite quickly at the arena theater.

And now, it was the day of the concert.

While the seats were being filled with dozens and dozens of people, the boys were all backstage, getting ready for their concert.

The stylists had dressed them in black, gray and white gear for the first stage, and styled their hair accordingly to the first cover on YouTube. Just a couple extra touches such as stage makeup and the white streaks in Beomgyu's overgrown hair.
