1998

"I can't believe it oppa's we're finally get to perform with you!" Eugene said feeling giddy.

"It's amazing seeing your group grow this year Bada-ah." Heejun said.

"While we are still a relatively small fanbase it has grown significantly. Now we have worry other competition popping up." Bada said remembering a bout they had with new group Fnkl.

"That's how it is for us. Our fandom has clashed a lot with Sechkies this year that we had to calm them down to stop fighting." Jaewon recalls that horrific incident.

"With Sechkies and NRG I wonder how you and Shinhwa will fare?" Shoo said.

"We'll be okay Shoo-ah we got it in the bag!" Kangta reassured.

"Good luck oppa I'll be cheering for you." Jihoon's sister said from the inside of the building.

"Gomawo and hope you and Boah-ah behave." Jihoon said.

"You make sounds like I'm a little kid. I'm not a little girl anymore!" Hana pouts.

"You will always be my little sister. I have to lookout for you regardless."

"We'll be supportive support you from the television oppas. Hana and I made some few cards for you on the way." Boah handed out several good luck card with hearts drawn.

"Aww thanks kiddo!" Kangta patted her head.

"Kick some ass hyung!" Jiyong threw an imaginary punch before being smacked in the head by Nara.

"OW WHAT HELL NOONA!!" Jiyong cried out in pain.

"A child like you shouldn't be saying such things! You shouldn't hang with Jihoon too much." Nara scolded him.

"He's the only one hyung who comes here!" Jiyong hissed.

"Don't worry Jihoon-ah we'll take care of your sister. I'll make sure to these kids behave." Nara patted all their heads as the Shinhwa, H.O.T, and S.E.S bid farewell.

They took several vans as they drove towards a local stadium. Exiting the vehicle the three groups were guided a special seat reserved for idols. Sitting down was rival group NRG and Steve Yoo.

"What's up my peeps nice to see the main crew here!" Yoo greeted the groups.

"Woah Yoo hyung nice to meet you!" Rain bowed politely.

"I got no need for that formal stuff just call me Steve." Steve said standing.

"Woah kid now that's one hell of a growth spurt! You're taller than me now!" Yoo said in disbelief.

"I been telling him that this year. Since the end of last year Jihoon just kept growing. He's making Minwoo look short in comparison." Woohyuk teased.

"If it isn't our rival my name is Sungjin leader of NRG. Over there is Yoomim, Myunghoon, Sunghoom and our maknae Hwansung."

"Longtime no see Hwansung-ah." Kangta greeted him.

"It's been an honor Kangta hyung." Hwansung greeted him.

"Hey we went to the same school!" Jihoon pointed out.

"Woah you recognize this kid?" Asked Sungjin.

"Yes as matter of fact. I didn't think I run into you junior." The handsome maknae greeted him. He had exceptionally long hair similar to those Japanese idols. In fact Jihoon almost mistaken him for being Japanese.

"I'm gonna miss you. You were such a great captain to the school soccer team. And now you'll be graduating." Jihoon expressed his sadness.

"Don't sweat it kid I'll visit around. Besides I found a great university for what I want to enroll. Dankook University. I figured once I got educated I could start my own solo career once this group disbands." Hwansung said enthusiastically.
