Chapter 33 D-day
Hours before the concert, backstage, all the girls are putting on their stage outfits, and getting their makeup done. Ji Hoon is the most leisured one, because he only has to change his outfits, he doesn't even need to style his hair as they are pretty long now.
Right now, Ji Hoon and the actresses' group (Emmy and Kristy) are chatting while waiting for their last rehearsal.
"Do you always take so long to do your make up too?" Ji Hoon asks both of them.
"Hmm, depends. I usually put more efforts into it if I'm going out with you, I noticed you like it when I put on a little eye shadow huh?"
"Honestly, I like them all, you really have an attractive pair of eyes, any style would suit you."
"Hmm~" (ˊ•͈ ◡ •͈ˋ)
"Aren't you nervous at all?" Kristy asked curiously.
"Not really, I enjoy being on stage performing for the fans, it's just lots of fun you know?"
"If only they can have your mentality too, they look like they would crumble anytime." She points at the other girls.
"Don't worry about them, they are born for this, me and Soo Yeon was just like this before our first performance on stage, we didn't have any conversation, we sat quietly, relaxed our body and mind, and when it's showtime, we just went out and basically did what we practiced to do. I have full faith in them that they will do the same, or even better than me and Soo Yeon."
"You really do trust them huh?"
"If you see the hard work they put in every single day, you would too."
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Later, they took turns doing their final rehearsal, and the countdown is starting very soon, fans are starting to enter the building.
You can see the family members of the girls in the front row vip seats.
"Before we go out there, there's something I wanna talk about to all of you, think of it as a piece of advice from a sunbaenim."
"Nae sunbaenim!!!"
"This is a live concert, with thousands and thousands of fans, not some pre-recorded tape that you see regularly on TV. You gotta make sure to interact with the fans, remember this, these people have never seen any of you perform before, so if you do well and leave a good impression on them, they might be your first batch of fans, and those fans are usually the most loyal ones."
"Nae sunbaenim!!!"
"You girls have worked so hard and practiced so much just for this moment, I believe in all of you, so you girls should believe in yourself too. I want you to go out and show the people what you are made of, and more importantly, I want you to have fun while doing it, hwaiting!"
"Hwaiting~!"

*guys, I'm gonna insert some korean lyrics in this chapter, so you can be more immersed, i will post the source below the lyrics.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Good evening ladies gentlemen, I'm your special host for this event, Yoo Chae Suk. My lil bro requested me to take this job, since I'm such a caring and loyal person, I decided to cancel my original plan for the night and take the job."
"Oppa, stop lying! You are single, you don't have any plan tonight!" Someone shouted from the crowd.
*laughs
"Who said that?! That's not true at all! I'm really popular among the ladies nowadays! I received about three invitations tonight!"
"Ayyy... it's probably from your parents, your siblings and possibly Jeong Kook oppa and Eun Hee unnie."
"Oh?! How did you know that?! Did you look at my phone?! Security, we have a stalker over here!"
*laughs
"Okay! Jokes aside. This is an event we have all been waiting for a long time. So without further ado, let us welcome, the return of the Nation's Siblings, Kim Ji Hoon and Kim Soo Yeon, Zenith!"
*cheers
"Hello everyone~! Remember this guy over here?" Soo Yeon points toward Ji Hoon.
"Kim Ji Hoon!!!" The fans shouted.
"That's right! He is my oppa, Kim Ji Hoon!"
"Hello everyone, I'm really happy that so many of you still remember me after my two years absence, thanks for the love and support always."
"I'm here only to see Soo Yeonnie!"
"I'm here to see the debut of the girls you announced!"
"Who are you?!"
Some of the fans teased him.
"Looks like I need to remind some of you who I am, Soo Yeon ah, let's get the party started!"
"Nae oppa!"
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*I'm gonna go ahead and skip Ji Hoon and Soo Yeon's part because this chapter is all about the debut of the girls.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ji Hoon and Soo Yeon performed their top two hits from their album, and they took turns performing their new respective solo.
"I hope with that performance, you guys can remember me better this time. But today is not about me, today is about a group of girls, that have poured their blood, sweat and tears, just for this moment. I'm really proud of them as a senior, as a friend, and most importantly as their oppa. I'll leave more explaining to our host Mc Yoo!"
"Ya Ji Hoon ah! You've already said everything I wanna say, did you read my script or something? Whatever, listen up everybody, when you entered the stadium just now, our staffs gave each and everyone of you a glowing stick with three types of color. All I need you to do, is when the girls appear later, I want you guys to match the color of the stage lightning, they represent the color of the fandom they picked themselves. Alright, let's not waste anytime, and please welcome G0G!"
*cheers and claps
The stage turns pink, and nine girls slowly rise onto the stage through a platform underneath.
The fans quickly change the color of their glowsticks, and it looks like a sea of pink roses from afar.
The intro starts playing, and the girls start dancing.

Without any fear whatsoever, they finish their song perfectly, smiling and interacting with crowds the whole time.
"This is how it's supposed to be..." Ji Hoon is watching them from backstage.
"Hmm, did you say anything?" Emmy is beside him.
"Nothing, by the way, would you believe me if I tell you, people will start recognizing them just by looking at their legs in the future?"
"What's that supposed to mean you pervert?" She knocks him on the head.
"What? I'm just saying. I can recognize you and Jee Eun just by looking at your legs too."
"Is that what you were looking at all the time? Is that some sort fetish or something?" (𓌻︵𓌻)
"... I love your legs!"
*bam
She knocks him on the head again.
