Chapter 1009: Raven’s Terrifying Anecdote
It turned out that wasn’t the only grand prize that DAWN had won as EVE.
Nearly all of the award shows in Korea awarded them with the biggest prize. Even the usually rigged ones gave them such an award! It seemed like they had no choice but to give it to EVE since they truly had the greatest influence on the industry for this year. Aside from that, they were definitely afraid of astras and how they could flip the situation.
However, the boys didn’t bother going since they were busy preparing for their very first concert. Besides, they couldn’t be bothered to perform at rigged award shows anyway!
Despite their group attending only one award show, they became the icons of acceptance speeches. June’s speech had been the standard, and he had other idols working overtime to write their acceptance speeches beforehand!
However, the biggest difference was that June’s wasn’t rehearsed at all!
Now, they were going to have another event just right before their tour started.
“I love fan meetings!” Akira exclaimed as he trudged to their practice room. “We’re going to have one next week, right?”
“Hmm,” Jisung hummed. “I honestly can’t wait to meet our fans!”
Akira and Jaeyong turned to each other with knowing looks.
June noticed this and nudged Akira’s shoulder.
“What’s going on?” he asked.
The others’ attention was also captured. They looked at the two with inquiring eyes.
“Well,” Jaeyong started off, scratching the back of his neck. “This fan meeting is going to be different from the one we had before.”
“How so?” Sehun asked. “It’s just the same. We’re going to meet our fans!”
Akira pursed his lips together. “I’m all for meeting our fans. However, what Jaeyong said was right. This is a fan meeting born from the biggest spenders among our fans.”
“And so?” Ren asked.
Zeth placed his hand on Ren’s shoulder. “Oh, poor Ren. You don’t know how these things work, do you?”
Ren frowned and glared at Zeth. “It’s not like you do, too! You’ve never been an idol before.” Zeth smiled, crossing his arms in front of his chest. “Well, well, well. You don’t know how famous I was when we were both in school! I had people funding me then! I was grateful at first, but then I realized just how scary people were when they think they’ve given you their everything.”
“That’s exactly what happened with our group back then, too,” Jaeyong muttered, capturing their attention once again.
“Oh, you mean THAT incident?” Sehun asked.
The other boys slowly understood what the two were talking about. It was a relatively famous story among idols-the RAVEN fan meeting incident.
“Ah,” Akira muttered, scratching the back of his neck. “I remember it all too well. Honestly, those were the times when I couldn’t even joke in our group.”
“That’s how bad it was?” Sehun asked.
“Yup,” Akira and Jaeyong said at the same time.
“What really happened?” June asked. He knew of the incident, of course-courtesy of Mei Ling.
However, he didn’t know the details surrounding it.
Akira sighed and crossed his arms in front of his chest. “Where do I begin?” he muttered.
“It was during that time that obsessive fans started becoming innovative. We also had a fan meeting similar to this one-where the fans that had bought the most albums would be selected.”
“Some awful incidents happened before to other groups, but those groups were significantly more popular than we were. So, Jaeyong and I thought it was impossible! There was no way it could happen to us,” he continued.
“And yet it did,” Jaeyong chimed.
“The fan meeting was about to come to the end when one of the fans swapped their drinks with mine,” Jaeyong continued the story. “Then, I just happened to almost die that day.”
“What?” Ren exclaimed. “It said on the news that you just got food poisoned!”
“Yeah-poisoned. Real poison! I think it was rat poison, am I right?” Akira smiled.
“How can you say that so casually?” Ren asked.
Akira shrugged. “Well, Jaeyong’s still alive, isn’t he? Our agency downplayed it because they didn’t want to worry the fans. Aside from that, the fan who mixed the drink spent the most money on us. They didn’t want to lose such a fan.”
“Dang, they’re the worst,” June muttered.
“Yeah,” Jaeyong chuckled. “I had to get my stomach pumped out, but I still lived!”
“Anyway, I do think we need to be more careful this time around,” he concluded. “I believe security will be tighter because Jay couldn’t afford to slack off on us. However, we can never be too sure.”
Akira nodded with closed eyes. “I really want to make this an enjoyable time for us!”
June pursed his lips. “Who even decided that the biggest buyers should be the ones to attend
such events?” he asked.
The boys collectively shrugged.
“I don’t know,” Akira shrugged. “It’s been like that since forever!”
June clicked his tongue. “That shows why we sold so many albums then. We’re really promoting mass consumerism at this point!”
“A woke king,” Casper said, speaking for the first time of the day.
“Anyway, we can’t do anything right now since the emails have been sent out already,” Jaeyong said. “However, if you want to change something, we can bring it up to Jay. I’m sure
he’ll listen to us.”
“Hmm,” June hummed.
“Should I ask him to provide us with more security for the time being?” Jaeyong asked.
June clicked his tongue and shook his head.
“That won’t be necessary. We don’t want our fans to think that we see them as threats. I’m sure most of them don’t have bad intentions.”
“Yeah,” Jisung muttered. “I wish June’s good fan goes-Jia, was it?”
June perked up with the sound of Jia’s name. He did wish she would go. However, he would be more thankful if she didn’t. She just started a new job and was probably saving up money!
“Anyway,” Jisung said. “I’m sure our fans aren’t too crazy. They’re the best fans in the
world!”
