Wayo: A Bang Yedam Story

11 Debut

Author's note: you can now get a peek at handsome Sungjin in the 00 Characters chapter.

YJ and their two-male audience stand frozen in place.

Sungjin, unaware and unfazed says "You were great up there. I haven't seen you play since high school."

She thanks him, feeling slightly embarrassed. He's gotten even taller and more handsome.

Seo Joon leans over to whisper in Yedam's ear as they walk away to give them space, "That's the ex-boyfriend from high school I mentioned before."

Yedam turns his head to get another look. He's standing too close to her.

"Your uncle didn't mention you'd be here." YJ says, taking a step back.

"Oh, he mentioned it to my mom, then she told me, so it all happened last minute. Thanks for playing for my uncle again, I know you're probably busier now than you were before." Sungjin explains.

"I'd do anything for your uncle, you know that." YJ tells him.

YJ's glad to see Sungjin is doing well. She still feels a little guilty breaking up with him the way she did, but she's relieved it isn't awkward between them.

Yedam makes his way over to the bar where YJ is sipping a glass of red wine. "You got me good."

YJ laughs, "Sorry! Did you have fun at least?"

"Yeah, actually I did." Yedam admits.

"It'll prepare us for the debut performance next week, are you ready?"

"Definitely." Yedam smiles.

The day of Treasure's debut concert, YJ sits in her dressing room alone as she watches them perform from the tv.

[Treasure]

I'll be your boy

Be my be my be my girl

If it's the way I feel it

Be my be my be my

I just wanna be your boy

I don't need anything, hold my hand and run

Shh TREASURE

Wow they're good. YG sure knows how to put on a show.

Someone knocks on the door.

"Come in!"

"Hi YJ, you're up in 5 minutes."

YJ gets up and straightens her dress, "Let's go."

She waits as the Treasure members make their way backstage. She bows to each as they walk past, sweaty, panting, but in good spirits.

"You look beautiful."

YJ looks up to see Yedam in full makeup with a light sheen of sweat on his brow. He's glowing.

"If you think I look beautiful, you should see yourself!" YJ jokes trying to lighten the mood.

"No, I'm serious, you really are beautiful." Yedam doesn't know where this confidence is coming from, maybe it's the adrenaline from the performance.

"Thank you." YJ responds, somewhat speechless.

"I'll be right back, I have like 30 seconds to change!" And with that Yedam runs towards the dressing room.
