EPILOGUE

TWO WEEKS LATER

The first stop of the tour was in Japan, specifically Osaka. It was a relatively big stadium, but nothing we haven't toured before.

The tickets sold out so quickly, quicker than I even anticipated.

And thankfully, with the new management in place, everybody was satisfied with how everything was rolling. We no longer had crazy weight standards, or had to fake happiness and the list could go so on.

Hyungsik stated that we had to do everything we were comfortable with, and although we had to maintain a good appearance, we were free to eat what we want, hang out with whoever, and most importantly - date whoever we want.

"OSAKA, MAKE SOME NOIIISEE!!!" Hyera pointed the microphone to the audience, and they all screamed loudly, yelling and waving lightsticks frantically.

It felt surreal each time, seeing the populations of people with our merch, how stadiums were sold out, how people resold tickets for insanely high prices just because the demand to see us was so high.

"Haerin, a lot of people wish to hear the song you and Jake made during the reality show, do you think you could give us a little acapella." Hana approached me with laughter as I rolled my eyes.

It was a good song, I loved it, but without Jake it wasn't complete. But I suppose I could give a short preview of the song, acapella style.

"An acapella of the song? Hmm, let's see. I can give you guys a preview, what do you think?" I looked over the stadium, and the cheers were roaring, people were screaming 'YES' and waving the lightsticks frantically.

"Hmm, I don't know, I'm not feeling the energy from the crowd." I teased them as Mira laughed, putting her arm around my shoulder.

It felt good to have such amazing members, without them, I'd seriously be bored and depressed. These girls gave me life, I was glad that out of the people who auditioned to be part of this group, these girls were the ones that were chosen.

I couldn't imagine it any other way.

"Come on guys, do you want it or not?" Taeri teased the crowd a little more, pointing the microphone to them again, and this time, the screams and yells were much louder.

I thought they couldn't get any louder, but I suppose they could, jesus. We're gonna be responsible for so many sore throats the next morning.

I chuckled, laughing as Hana looked at me with a smile.

"Do you hear them now?" Hana asked and I nodded.

"Alright alright, fine, I can give you guys a little preview." I cleared my throat, beginning just singing the song with raw vocals and no backing track.

The crowds yelled and cheered for me as I did so, but I only sang a few lyrics before it was Jake's part.

Instead of Jake singing his part, Taeri substituted for him, trying to lower her voice into a manly voice and pretend to be Jake, singing.

I laughed, holding my stomach from laughter as the crowds cheered some more.

Taeri put her arm around me, still singing Jake's part, until she finished.

"Okay okay, how about, we use the backing track, I don't think I can sound like Jake." Taeri laughed, and I just raised my eyebrows, wondering why they had the backing track, but nonetheless, I waited for the backing track to begin playing.
