"It's my first time working with them. I can't believe we get to see them all in one small room."
"You better get used to it now. They're officially under Phoenix Entertainment."
"I swear, they look like wax figures."
The boys had gathered for their debut livestream. It was only them in a room in Phoenix, along with some other staff that had been newly assigned to their team.
However, some staff members from other teams also tried to discretely enter the room to get a glimpse of DAWN. Despite being under Phoenix Entertainment, most of them hadn't had the chance to see DAWN in real life due to the idols' busy schedules. So, seeing them for the first time felt like an out-of-body experience.
"Stop eating," Jaeyong sighed. "We're about to start in a couple of minutes."
Akira pursed his lips and placed down the plate of chocolate-flavored strawberries and mallows before taking a seat next to his members.
Ren clicked his tongue and grabbed a napkin before wiping Akira's face. "Goodness," he said. "It's our debut, and you look like a mess."
Akira smiled sheepishly while the staff members arranged everything for their lives.
"Two minutes!" one of the producers exclaimed.
The boys glanced at each other before nodding.
"Alright," Jaeyong said. "It's time. Act professionally, okay, boys? Let's show them that we're a mature, new group."
They nodded in agreement.
"Starting in five...four...three...two.."
"Crap!" Casper exclaimed as the soda can he opened slightly burst, causing some of the boys to get splashed on by the refreshing drink.
"Casper!" they exclaimed in unison.
Jaeyong turned to the producer, but it was already too late. The prompter showed the words -'we're live,' causing Jaeyong to shake his head.
Well, what more did he expect from these hooligans?
"Hi guys," he started off, already sounding tired.
"What's up, everyone!" Jisung sweetly exclaimed, trying to do some damage control.
- It hasn't even been one minute into the life, and it's already so chaotic.
- I think you should have changed your name to CATASTROPHE instead. Then, the shortcut of it would be CAT.
- That actually doesn't sound too bad.
- How are you, guys?
- Jisung looks so sweet while Jaeyong looks very stressed!
"Let's introduce the group first," Jaeyong said, trying to liven things up.
"The light of a new beginning!" he started off.
"DAWN has e! Hello, we are DAWN!" they said in unison.
"Ah, it's nice to finally see you guys now that we're DAWN!" Akira exclaimed. "How are you guys today?"
"I think they're doing great," Zeth chuckled as he looked through the ments, most them containing overenthusiastic profanities.
"Do you guys notice our outfits today?" Sehun asked, looking at his team.
-You're all dressed as the jobs in your respective teasers!
- Casper looks like a proper farmer.
-You all look yummy.
-Your concept still confuses me. The video teasers didn't help one bit. However, the last teaser sounded really nice!
- Yeah, I was a bit skeptical about the concept and how it would sound, but I found myself gravitating to the last teaser to listen to the small snippet over and over again.
- I'm a casual listener here. I'm yet to be impressed. Let's see later when they drop the music video. "Moving on," Ren continued, trying to help Jaeyong host the show. "Our music video will be released in approximately one hour! That's noon-time in our timezone."
"We're going to wait for that moment with you, guys," Sehun added. "So, while we're waiting for it to drop. We're going to answer some of your questions and play some fun
games!"
The prompter directed them on what to do next.
Casper nudged June's shoulder since it was his turn. June sat straight and looked at the prompter.
"Here's what you're going to do next," June said, squinting his eyes. "Pick a question in the fishbowl and answer it professionally. No unnecessary spoilers, please."
The boys looked at June with wide eyes before bursting into laughter.
Meanwhile, Jaeyong sighed and shook his head. "Goodness," he muttered. "This is going to be a long hour, is it?"
- I can't. June even read the freaking instructions.
- Please let him have some media training.
- No, please. He's like a breath of fresh air in the idol industry! He's one of the biggest idols to date, yet he's still down-to-earth.
"Anyway," Jisung chuckled. "That's what we're going to do. Why don't June pick the first question?"
The other members nodded in agreement. June pursed his lips and reached inside the ball,
picking up a piece of paper.
He quickly opened it and read it out loud.
"What's the significance behind your individual teasers-especially the first ones? Why do all
of you have different jobs?"
-Ah, this is the question I wanted them to answer!
-Let us know, please. I'm dying of curiosity.
"June picked the perfect question," Akira chuckled. "He's actually the one who pushed for
this concept."
"As expected from our concept king," Casper proudly said while sitting straight up.
June chuckled and shook his head. "Well, as you all know already, Jisung produced the song while I wrote the lyrics. We also created our own choreography."
"Now, you may not know this-but this song wasn't supposed to be on this album. We had a problem with our past pany, and that is when this song emerged. In the end, we decided to go through this one because it's what spoke to us the most at that time."
"You didn't answer the question," Akira deadpanned.
June smirked. "Well, you just have to watch the music video to find out," he teased.
- Ah, but it's still too long!
- Since when did June learn to push and pull like this?
-My baby kitten has changed. He doesn't spoil us anymore.
- Please, just a tiny hint!
Just then, Casper spoke without permission, causing the others to turn to him with wide eyes.
"It's what we were during the lowest points of our lives!" "Except for me," he chuckled. "I just think farmers are cool."
