The next morning, the interview appointment arrived. They met in the hotel lobby, where the staff checked everyone out, and then they proceeded with a transportation service to the location of the interview.
Fortunately, Wooyoung was feeling much better today; he had neither nausea nor headaches. However, he still wanted to take it easy and go a bit slower than usual.
The atmosphere between Mingi and Yunho was icy. Both ignored each other, and the others left it at that. They were all professionals when it came to their work, so nobody worried about the interview. It was clear that the two would pull themselves together for this purpose.
Even though Yunho didn't show it, he still wasn't feeling well. He felt ashamed that he was the reason for Mingi's outburst in front of the others, when he had only wanted to take care of Wooyoung. He felt bad for apparently provoking Mingi so much.
He glanced over at Yeosang and felt even worse. I seriously cried in front of him... that's so pathetic...
Upon arriving at the building, they were warmly greeted. There were snacks and drinks available, and it would be a short while before the interview began. Yunho couldn't wait and took the opportunity to talk briefly with Yeosang.
He hurried to get to him before he could grab some snacks.
"Hey, Yeosang. Can you come over here for a moment?" Yunho said softly, gently pulling the other into a side corridor. Yeosang looked at him expectantly, and Yunho became nervous. Shame rose to his face.
"Um... can you, uh, keep to yourself what... well, what happened outside last night..." His inability to articulate what had happened the previous evening frustrated him, and he felt a lump forming in his throat...
Don't cry again now, just don't...
"So, could you please not talk to the others about it...?" He sighed; he couldn't phrase it any better. It had to be enough.
Yeosang hesitated... he looked skeptically to the side before meeting Yunho's eyes again, but he didn't answer. Yunho felt a surge of panic.
"Please?" he said weakly.
Yeosang nodded in turn. "Okay... I won't."
"Promise?"
"... promise."
"Thank you."
So their conversation wouldn't attract too much attention, they quickly rejoined the others and the staff. Yunho was relieved that he didn't have to worry about this issue anymore. He trusted Yeosang.

The interview lasted for several hours, as content for future online posts was also pre-produced. It went smoothly, and in the evening, they were picked up by a transportation service to take them to the airport.
In the van, the managers became restless.
"What's going on?" Hongjoong asked.
The manager grimaced. "Get ready... Our travel schedule has been leaked, and the airport is full of fans. Security has been notified, but there seem to be a lot of people. I'm sorry, guys, but you'll have to endure it."
Hongjoong's expression darkened, and he turned to look at the others. Wooyoung and San exchanged worried looks, and Jongho rolled his eyes in annoyance, but that only masked his nervousness.
Such situations at airports could become dangerous as soon as the crowds became too much, someone started pushing or falling. In the worst case, it even led to physical assaults, with fans doing everything to touch them. Not to mention the psychological stress of being crowded and filmed from all sides... These situations were definitely among the less pleasant aspects of their work.
