Live Broadcast Rehearsal
8pm in the evening~~
"Yah! Guys, guys, guys, guys, GUYS! FOCUS!~" Mark snapped, turning around to see no one literally no one in the room listening to what he has been ranting for half an hour now.
"Oh….you two are back so soon!" Mark spoke surprised by seeing Jihun and Chen entering the dining room holding hands giggling and sitting beside the lazy ass Jae who was totally ignoring whatever Mark was saying and had his full attention given to the TV.
"So what's going on here Mark hyung?! And why are you still here in the first place with THIS hyung here?!" Questioned Chen, eyeing Hajoon.
*Mark sighs*
"Okay~ I’m gonna explain it all over again one last time cause I'm damn sure these pabos (means Idiots in Korean) have not heard a single word that I’ve been speaking and for you both too....so just please for once hear me out properly, ok?!" Mark stressed.
Sighing because he was already feeling tired and they were just getting started with their discussion. The Freelies just nodded pitying their leader for once.
"So it's like this~ We're supposed to do a Live Broadcast for our NEOzens tomorrow around lunch time after practice, y'know like spoiling for the upcoming album and all? But the problem here is how do we make it fun to watch!?” Mark was fully focused on the words that he was saying, trying not to miss out on any detail.
"Hmm~ AH! Guys let's first start off with funny introductions, how's that?!" Hajoon suggested, coming up with an idea and getting over excited about it on his own.
"I'm Nana" Jae started off first, starting an unexpected rehearsal for their Live Broadcast, setting an example for the others to follow but still as lazy as ever. Nana because Jae's surname is Na, so their fans gave him a nickname, Nana.
"I’m....um,,,. Just Mark" Mark tried, but he was already lacking energy just by shouting and trying to get the Freelies to listen to him all this time.
He had convinced himself to be just grateful that the Freelies addressed him as hyung and not just Mark or some other weird nicknames they could come up with because although he was their hyung and leader they didn't care for those titles at all. Their solo motive in life was to tease him 24/7.
"AH hyung~ You got no jams!! (Korean slang word used to describe not funny) Ani~ It's introduce in a different manner! What's I'm just Mark?! Pay attention hyung! You're the one who said to make it fun to watch, that's exactly what we're doing here!!" Hajoon complained, scolding their leader, Mark with a bored look to look serious but actually was just teasing Mark.
"I get it okay! I'm just tired. Anyways you were the one in the first place Hajoon-ah, who didn't pay attention at all when I was explaining shit shouting here and there! Don't get started about not paying attention!" Mark countered Hajoon's complain which got Hajoon angry for real.
"I’m Jino-No-Jam" Jino introduced himself this time to stop Mark and Hajoon from arguing further.
"See hyung! Even Jino has some sense of humor despite being the official No-jam of the group!" Hajoon taunting and teasing Mark as well as Jino this time but the two knew to care less. (No-Jam : a Korean slang to describe not funny)
"I'm innocent!" Ren stated next, ignoring Hajoon's comment, getting a loud laughter outburst from the other Freelies.
Reason being everyone knew that Ren was so not innocent although he did look so on the outside. He was one of the dirty minded people within the Freelies along with Hajoon and Jihun.
"Ahahahahah~ Then I'm Superstar!" Chen countered Ren's false declaration of him being innocent, also trying to calm down himself from the joke Ren had just pulled off but ended up laughing even more. As Chen was a child star in China before joined their company to become an idol trainee.
"Woahhhhh~~" All the Freelies exclaimed at Chen's fast thinking.
"I'm Mocchi." Jihun introduces himself, trying to calm the high tension that had covered them. Another nickname their fans had given Jihun because of his chubby cheeks.
"Yes right~ Our cute and lovely Jihun-nie has mocchi like cheeks. so be that Jihun-ah! Be whatever you want to be!!" Jae cooed his baby Jihun and received a grateful smile from Jihun to appreciate his support.
"Then….I'm GOD!" Hajoon again crossed the line trying to be funny and expecting another outburst of laughter from the Freelies but instead they all turned silent because of Hajoon's lame joke. Not at all wanting to give any reaction to his lame self praising jokes.
"Yes!! I won this time but I admit I gave out a strong one~ Ahahahahah!" Ren commented after a pause of silence to see no one react to Hajoon's joke with a victorious grin on his face as he had just defeated Hajoon the most funniest as well as the mood maker of NEO FREE.
"Ok ok~ But let’s just get to the point already!!" Jino summed up their introducing segment.
"Hmm~ But listen to what I have to say first! So I watched our NEO 35 and NEO U hyungs Live Broadcasts~ And they seriously have NO-JAMS like literally!!" Hajoon with a bored face stated the fact. As NEO FREE even according to their fans was the most chaotic unit of NEO.
"Ahahahahah! Ani~ Hajoon hyung! Aren't you being too frank?!" Chen totally agreed thus bursted out laughing at Hajoon's comment.
"Yah~ At this rate, we'll definitely get a call from one of the hyungs in the middle of our Live and get a good long earful!!" Jino added.
Hating the fact that again because of Hajoon, he or Mark will have to hear naggings from their hyungs, as he let down the high mood of the group but nothing less could be expected from the great Jino-No-Jam, their official boring member.
"So what?! We can just not pick up, right?!" Ren said with sass bring the mood of the group up again and make them laugh again.
"Guys guys.... Ani~ please listen to what I've got to say for once!?" Mark pleased with a defeated sigh as he was trying his best to speak but the others always butted in.
Everyone was now focused on Mark as they just pitied the older boy because they always played around with him and teased him day in, day out but in the end they always ended up listening to him as him being their leader not just for the sack of him being the eldest.
"So what I'm trying to say is-- The reason why we're here is or to say the real reason why we're doing this Live is--" But again Mark's buffering was cut off.
"What are you actually trying to say, hyung?" It was Jae who cut Mark off, speaking in his Busan accent as he got frustrated by the older boys fumbling. The room was again filled with laughter because of Jae's outburst.
"Hyung...do you need some fresh air?!" Jino suggested with a sweet smile on his face. But Mark just rolled his eyes at Jino's remake, knowing even Jino was teasing him and just sighed a frustrated sigh.
"And just like this we wasted 1 hour of sleep, because of this crap!" Jae complained, stating the fact by sitting up straight.
"But hyung why does it have to be funny?" Chen asked with a confused tone.
"Chen-ah~~ You see, we are trying to create 'history' here, according to the great Lee Hajoon hyung who just wants to be extra funny and defeat the other NEO hyungs in his own little comedy war!" Jihun accused Hajoon as he explained to Chen in a cute voice but still had sass in his words which did not go unnoticed.
"Oh~ But it won’t be possible, you see?! Because it's said that every team has a no-jam member but we have 2 in ours.... Ahahahahah!" Chen stated facts, eyeing Mark and Jino while he couldn't help laughing at his own comment. This is the situation or comment any of the Freelies made to start roasting each other.
"But like why the hell do we need to do it as a group?! I'll literally die of embarrassment and tiredness from you all roasting me!" Complained Mark with a depressed face, not liking the way this Live Broadcast rehearsal was turning out to be at all.
"Because hyung~~ We are always together and we all love each other too much." Chen tried to lift Mark's sour mood by saying something sweet.
"Yeah Mark hyung! You know right, how much I love you?!" Hajoon teased Mark not leaving a single chance with a smirk plastered on his face.
"Woah~ Y-you're such a devil Hajoon-ah!" Mark accused shaking his head. As Hajoon was always the one who teased him the most.
But despite all their sweet talks, they decided to keep the concept of their Live Broadcast as ‘Teasing Mark Hyung’, thus named it ‘Mark vs NEO Free’ calling it a night and going to their respective rooms to rest. They were basically in a very mischievous mood and targeted Mark for teasing and pulling pranks.
Although being the oldest within the Freelies, no one saw him like an hyung despite them calling him so. They just treated him like a same age friend of theirs and were definitely not afraid of him whenever they pulled any pranks on poor Mark.
