Chapter 313 - 11.5
[MBink Show Day.]
Everyone was getting prepared for the show, including BXB69, ready with their debut in MBink or Music Bink, which was also their third show. Although they had two previous show performance, the prestige was not as great as MBink.
"Hyung, I'm a bit nervous…" Kyong said while he continued rubbing his hand anxiously.
Haneul held Kyong's hand and said, "We can do this. Don't worry, just give your best and do as usual, okay?"
Haneul looked at his members and gave him a briefing, "We can do this, guys! BXB69, GO, GO, GO!"
"BXB69, GO, GO, GO!" everyone cheered and waited until it was their turn. While they were waiting, there was a commotion from the entrance. A tall man towered above everyone appeared while looking down at the remaining groups who hadn't performed.
The man walked straight to BXB69's space and stood straight in front of them.
Everyone got tense, and as the leader, Haneul tried to be the spokesperson, "S—Sir, can we help you with something?"
[Ohhh, damn! Dude, you are so hot! Pupa, every time I see this master of the world, I can't help but to feel weak, wanting him to catch my body in his strong arm, and kissed me… oh~ How handsome and gallant.]
[Pupa: Stop daydreaming, at this rate, you will drool in front of him.]
Lee Yongsun glanced at Haneul nonchalantly before scanning the rest of the member. He darted his eyes at Jay and said with a taunting tone, "I have little to no hope for your group, but I will see as a way to appreciate a collapsing rookie nugu group."
Everyone was silenced when Mr. Lee Yongsun said that. Jay got triggered and ignited, knowing how much they practised. He clenched his fist, "You piece of shit!" he rushed towards Mr. Lee Yongsun about to teach him some lesson. Han immediately blocked him and pushed him back while bowing politely at Mr. Lee Yongsun.
"S—Sir, I'm sorry for my band member's attitude. It's my fault for not being a good leader!" Han took the blame for Jay's aggressiveness. Lee Yongsun looked down at Haneul and chuckled mockingly;
"I have no interest with a plain joe like you," Lee Yongsun said, and he left them alone.
Jay was cracking his knuckles. He tried hard to hold his anger because Haneul Hyung was holding him back, "Why are you holding me? I can beat that arrogant asshole!"
"Shush!" Han immediately covered Jay's mouth. "Don't say something insulting. Remember, we are an idol, and he is a lot more powerful than us! Jay, control yourself for the team!"
Jay was still angry, but Han Hyung's words returned his logic again. He nodded silently while focusing on their performance soon.
[Heh! That guy dares to call me plain joe! I will make sure he will fall head over heels after my performance!]

Everyone was silent when they walked to the stage. They saw their fans who brought a banner for them. Han, Jay, Taeyang and Taesa, and Kyong got ready in their position, waiting for the music to start.
[Song Suggestion: EXO – Tempo. Yes, I also love EXO.]
BXB69 – Baby Beat.
When the music started, they raised their heads, and Haneul opened the song as the centre.
~You mess up my beat, baby girl, so dance with me and follow my steps~
Their formation extended with Han dancing in the middle. Soon, he got replaced with Kyong, ~I can't believe you come to me at my lowest, baby girl. Come to my life and mess up my beat! So, take charge and take me closer to your heart~
The fans were going wild because of their performance. Kyong had an extraordinary voice that shook everyone.
Taeyang and Taesa took charge in pre-chorus.
~Baby girl, your beat is making my chest go up and down~
~This feeling is getting stronger every second~
~So take charge and dance~
~Just like how you lead my heart!~
Han took the front position again and lead the chorus while dancing. The fans were getting wilder when Han was dancing in front. As the most popular member, he attracted everyone's attention with his smooth dance, stable vocal, and handsome visual.
~Dance with me, my baby. I know you want it with me!~
~Dance with me, my baby. The dance floor is only for us!~
Kyong took charge again and continued with the same lyric.
After the chorus ended, Jay immediately took charge of his rap.
~Baby girl, this floor is for us, but I am the one in charge. You want me to flex, then so be it! Watch me dance while you sit in awe because this is the end. I will give you something you never have! Uh!~
Jay showed his dancing skill by doing a breakdance as his solo part. The crowd roared, even more, watching them in awe. After Jay was done, Taeyang and Taesa took over again with pre-chorus.
It was such a fantastic show for a rookie group, which showed how hard they practised and how talented they were.
***
Lee Yongsun watched from the screen inside his room. He observed how BXB69 was actually a potential rookie that could shake up the industry but lacked funding. They didn't have the best make up, nor did they have the best stage outfit.
In fact, their no-makeup faces actually looked better, just like what Lee Yongsun saw yesterday.
His eyes were glued on two figures, Kim Haneul and Im Jaehwa, with the stage names Han and Jay.
"They are interesting," Lee Yongsun said to the CEO of Music Bink.
"Mr. Lee Yongsun, do you want me to bring them after the show? But I thought you want to invest in the more popular and potential group because it's less risky."
"A change of plan can always happen, no?" Lee Yongsun grinned. "But I don't need you to bring all of them. I just need you to bring one person."
***
BXB69 finished their show with great success. Their fans were roaring crazy, and the crowds were also ignited to cheer on them. They left the stage and jumped around in the backstage.
"We did it! We did great!" Kyong said while he jumped around happily.
Taeyang and Taesa joined Kyong, and they were jumping around happily, while Han and Jay were looking at them like they were looking at their sons.
"That was a great performance, Jay. You did great," Han praised sincerely.
"I did it for you, Hyung. As long as you are happy," Jay replied with a smile. Honestly, it also felt good to perform in front of massive crowds like that, but it was even better when he looked back after his solo dance and saw Haneul Hyung was smiling proudly at him.
[Pupa, I did great, right? Right?]
[Pupa: Yes, you did. Thanks to Haneul's innate dancing and singing skill.]
[Hey, I also have talent!]
[Pupa: You don't even know how to sing well in other worlds.]
[Ah, you are just envious of my gorgeousness, greatness, handsomeness, amazingness! Bet you, Lee Yongsun, will definitely summon me to his room after this! I will be getting that sponsor soon!]
A man suddenly approached their manager, whispered something, and the manager nodded.
The manager approached them, and he said, "Jay, Mr. Lee Yongsun wants to meet you, be good because this might be our most potential sponsor!"
