"WAKE UP! TODAY IS THE DAY!" shouted Daesung, louder than usual as the doors fly open and G-Dragon walks out holding onto a bunch of unfinished lyrics and a chewed-up pencil that he used to correct almost every mistake in a song.

TOP has been non-stop practicing his rapping, singing along to the song repeatedly to ensure he was on beat and had the lyrics memorized down to the very last word as Daesung had been doing vocal warm-ups whenever he can.

Seungri and I were practicing our dancing since we were usually the ones who messed up and we could not afford those mistakes today as we were going to appear on our first ever music show: Music Bank and this would be a chance to spread our name further.

Even after debuting at the YG Family Concert 10th Anniversary on August 19th 2006, Saturday. We still needed to spread our name further so we got to perform on one of the biggest music shows ever and none of us wanted to failure.

There was no choice, it had to be perfect.

On the ride there, I tested everyone on the lyrics by shouting out a random verse and G-Dragon was keeping an eagle eye on who stumbled up and we were practicing from the time we woke up to the time we were going to perform in about 5 minutes. 

It was a mixture of songs: Put Your Hands Up was the intro with TOP and G-Dragon, La La La and VIP. "TOP and G-Dragon are needed on stage." announced Do-Hyeon, we wished them good luck as I could see TOP going over the lyrics again.

The rest of us headed to our spots at the back and waited for the cue. "Good luck." I smiled at them and we zone onto our performance.

AFTER PERFORMANCE

I walk off the stage feeling pretty good as I waited for someone else to say something and G-Dragon stands up, "Well done, that went pretty well." he complimented and I think Seungri nearly died choking on air from the first compliment GD gave him.

YG came in to congratulate us for our first ever music show performance and Heechul called me with everyone behind him, "CONGRATS DONGSAENG!" he smiled, turning his phone to show that Music Bank was playing as I thanked them.

"How's your practice going?" they all went quiet, uh oh. 

"Pretty good but... yeah, we don't want to talk about it. It's all about you." Clever diversion Shindong, very clever as I let it slide and usher all my band mates inside the small screen. 

"Meet my brother, Heechul and his annoying bandmates." I introduced them as Seungri sized himself up with Siwon and I rolled my eyes, grabbing his ear and throwing him out of the shot.

We had to leave as Super Junior got called back to practice and we headed back to our dorm, throwing ourselves a small celebration feast of takeaways from the local BBQ shop as Daesung cut me up some meat.

TOP poured the wine while I got the grape juice that I craved and we had everything neatly on the floor as the table was too small to host everything we ordered under YG's money that he shouted for us.

"TO BEING A MATURE GROUP THAT BLOOMS LIKE A FLOWER!" I shout, everyone diving into the food as I wrap my meat in a piece of leaf and dip it into the sauce before devouring it, I could have died peacefully.

All of us greedily shoving it down every piece of food as I steal the last piece of meat and eat it, "Damn... it's been a while since I had BBQ." I rubbed my stomach, contently as TOP had gotten a little tipsy and Taeyang took him to bed.

I could sense a bright future with this group.
