World Tour Begins

"You're late! What are you guys carrying?" Chaeyoung asked as soon as she opened the door to the condo since Dahyun forgot her keys.

Before we headed out, we had our dinner at a fancy restaurant. It was always Dahyun's weird habit to go to a fancy restaurant while we were wearing our practice attire to see the different reactions of the people there. She was calm, funny and a prankster at heart. And those are just three of the many things that I fell in love with. People were giving us weird stares and were mocking us loudly while we ate. When the bill came and these people saw me take out my black credit card the people who were giving us mocking looks were speechless. They soon averted their gazes away from us. Dahyun was really happy seeing how they reacted.

After our time in the restaurant, we started making our way to the largest arcade in Seoul. Dahyun was also a gamer and it was one thing aside from music that we highly got along with. She became so excited the moment we entered the place. We spent more than an hour in the place before we decided to relax. Despite wearing our disguises, there were a lot of people who were constantly following us and were sneaking to take a photo of us. I knew it was harmless because I could tell that they were avid fans. Some of them were even kind enough to tell us that they were going to take photos.

We both understood that we were garnering so much attention already and decided to ditch the place. Since we were going on tour, I decided to buy her clothes. At first, she adamantly refused, but in the end, she gave in and decided to buy some clothes that were enough for the entire tour. She was going to be in different countries with different climates after all. I wanted her to be prepared. We didn't realize that we already had bought countless clothes from different boutiques. After seeing that we had a lot, we bought some snacks that we could take out and headed to back to Twice's place.

"We bought food for the movie." Dahyun answered nonchalantly.

Chaeyoung pointed to the various bags that were hanging on Dahyun's arm. "I mean those…"

Dahyun smiled wryly at Chaeyoung. "We went shopping to buy a few set of clothes but we ended up buying a lot."

"Uhuh. I can see that." Chaeyoung shook her head as she let us in.

I then turned to Chaeyoung. "Where's everyone else?"

"They're in the theater room. We're just waiting for you guys to arrive before we started the movie." She replied.

Dahyun put the bags on the living room couch before she stretched. "What are we watching?"

"We decided to watch 'IT' first before watching some Marvel movies that recently came out this year. We missed a lot of movies because of our promotions and all." Chaeyoung replied.

"We're watching a horror movie?" Dahyun grimaced before clinging tightly on to me.

I chuckled in response. "Don't worry. I'm here for you."

"Oh by the way! Lisa-unnie and Yuna-ya are here to watch with us." Chaeyoung informed us.

Dahyun smiled at her. "That's great! It's better if we have more company. Besides, we aren't the only ones who'd be leaving."

I nodded before asking Chaeyoung. "Did Seiji-hyung bring her girlfriend too?"

Dahyun jerked a little when I asked the question. Chaeyoung then answered. "He didn't. I guess he's still keeping it a secret from us though. But Nayeon-unnie and Jihyo-unnie are sitting beside him since they asked him to. It IS a scary movie after all."

We continued talking as we made our way towards the theater room. Chaeyoung also discussed what happened today when they were on their way here. They also met up with one of our managers as they were heading to JYPE's parking lot earlier today. According to what Wosik-hyung said, there was a change in schedule because of unforeseen events. Instead of heading to Singapore to kick off our tour, we were going to Indonesia instead. This was because the company couldn't agree with some of the moral standards to the venue that we were performing in. Basically, if they agreed to it, we would have to change most of our choreography to make it more "wholesome". Two days isn't going to cut it. Good thing our fans were doing something about it to help the company. So until we were able to fix the issue, we would be starting our tour out in Indonesia.

"Yo JayB-ya! Did you hear about the change of schedule for our tour?" Seiji-hyung asked as soon as we entered the room.

I nodded as I gave him a fist bump. "Chaeyoung-ie filled me in on the details."

"Hyungs… are we really going to talk about work or are we going to watch already?" Jiwoo complained.

"Hi, Dahyun-ie." Lisa greeted as she gave Dahyun a hug.

Dahyun pulled away from the hug before she gave them a smile. "We brought food."

"Jokbal?" Momo's eyes lit up as soon as she saw the food.

Sana sighed. "It's great that you brought food because I'm starving."

Jeong Do stopped Sana from spilling out the food. "Careful! Make sure not to spill it on the carpet!"

The room started getting rowdy again as soon as food was being mentioned. If people could see us right now, they would think that their beloved idols were deprived of food. Dominic gave Tzuyu a smile. "Tzuyu-ya, can you please pass me some of the kimchi?"

"Here you go, oppa. Are you going to eat that by the way?" Tzuyu asked as she pointed to the stir-fried tofu near Jeong Do using her chopsticks. Dominic shook his head in response.

Jiwoo then tried to stop Tzuyu. "Slow down, would you? You're going to choke yourself."

Zee chuckled. "Leave her alone, Woo-ya. I bet she's just hungry."

Chaeyoung gave Zee a confused look. "But we just had dinner."

"That was two hours ago." Zhang muttered as he took a big bite from his food.

Yo Chul-hyung hummed as soon as he took a bite from his own food. "This is good. Where did you buy these?"

"It's street food, hyung. I already forgot where we bought it." I replied.

He then turned to Jeongyeon as he tried feeding her. "Here, you should taste this."

Jeongyeon's eyes grew wide at how delicious it was. "This IS good! We should buy more of this!"

Yuna's jaw dropped as soon as she heard that. "Do idols usually eat this much?"

Nayeon stopped her from talking by placing more food in her bowl. "Ya. Shin Yuna. Don't act like you haven't hung out with us. Here, have some more."

Lisa giggled as she patted Yuna's shoulder. "Don't worry about it too much. We tend to eat a lot from time to time."

Matt-hyung then placed some of the food on Lisa's plate. "Then you should eat too."

Lisa shook her head in response. "I shouldn't. I already ate dinner."

Jihyo rolled her eyes. "You just told Yuna-ya about eating a lot from time to time."

Mina bumped her shoulder with Jihyo. "How do you think she maintained a figure like that? 18 inches as your waist size is not a joke!"

"Mina-ya! Don't reveal it just like that! And what do you mean how do I maintain my figure? Your waistline is also small! It's 19 inches! Gosh!" Lisa defended herself as soon as Mina spouted some secrets.

The night went on like that as we continued to tease and bicker with one another. Our laughter echoed across the room as different topics came up and were talked about. Soon, we finally started watching the movie. Our laughter was soon replaced with screaming and crying because of how scary the movie was. Especially when it came to the girls. I earned a lot points with Dahyun today as I lost rack of how many times she clung onto me. When the movie ended, we took a short break before binge watching some Marvel movies. We were already on our second movie for Marvel, but the rest of the people were already asleep.

Dahyun was also asleep in my arms. Thinking that she would be feeling sore when she woke up, I decided to carry her up to her room. Dahyun was sleeping soundly as I tucked her in bed. She really looked beautiful even while she was sleeping. I played with her hair a little before I realized that it was time to leave. When I was about to stand up, I felt a hand grab my wrist. I turned to see Dahyun half-awake while forcing a tired smile.

"I thought you were already asleep." I chuckled lightly.

She slowly shook her head before patting the empty space beside her. "Stay awhile." I nodded slightly before joining her on the bed. She immediately wrapped her arms around me while she took a deep breath in. "I'm going to miss you so much."

Dahyun started crying after she said that. I didn't stop her since our feelings were mutual. I sighed deeply. "You don't have to worry about it too much, Dahyun-ie. When one of our schedules overlap, let's find a way to meet up."

"I don't really mind being away from you for awhile, but please just don't forget to call or message me." Dahyun said.

"I will. I promise." I replied.

She chuckled before she sniffled. "You usually forget to contact me when you're busy."

"This time, I won't. I'd probably miss you to death when we're on tour." I chuckled.

She giggled. "I know you will. And hubby… please don't forget to take care of yourself. Eat well. Get as much sleep as possible. Don't stay out late. And NO GIRLS."

"How about fangirls?" I joked.

Dahyun lifted her head up as she was now glaring at me. I chuckled before I kissed the top of her forehead. "Alright. Alright. I get it. No fangirls either."

"You can do whatever you want with them when you're in the concert or in an event or something. But never privately meet them. Do you understand?" She threatened.

I gulped. "Yes, ma'am."

She raised her eyebrow at me. "Aren't you also going to warn me about not being close to men? 80% of our fans ARE male after all."

Her words made me laugh. "Your threat earlier was enough to tell me that you wouldn't even get near them. I know you love me that much."

Dahyun rolled her eyes. "Alright then. Since you won't get jealous, then I'll bring some people in the room."

"Ya! Kim Dahyun!" I yelled while pulling her away from the hug. She was startled at first before she started laughing. We both laughed it off even if we did feel a little bit of sadness deep inside.

"Hurry up, Zee-ya! Wosik-hyung's already pissed!" Matt-hyung called out from our dorm's living room.

We were already at our dorm and were finalizing some things. The rest are also preparing their luggage and were making sure that they didn't forget everything. Wosik-hyung was tapping his foot while staring at his wrist watch. If we won't leave in 5 minutes, we'd be having problems with our flight.

Zee was frantically looking for something. "I'm almost ready! I just need to find my hoodie!"

He ran outside while checking every place he could. When I saw him I sighed. "Zee-ya…"

"Can't talk right now. Busy." Zee said as he opened the fridge. Why would he open the fridge to look for his hoodie?

I called out to him again. "Yang Zihao, aren't you wearing your hoodie already?"

Zee turned to check if he really was wearing it, before giving me a wry smile. "I'll… go get my stuff."

Wosik-hyung groaned. "Finally! Let's go! Don't forget to make sure you have everything you need!"

Yo Chul-hyung then yelled out to Zee. "Zee-ya! Passport!"

"Got it!" Zee answered.

We started making our way to our cars as we made sure that we had everything. We'll be gone for more than two months. That's how long this tour was going to be. So we can't just leave behind something that was important to us. As soon as we placed our luggage inside the cars, we made ourselves comfortable and started making our way to Seoul International Airport. On the way, we started catching up on some sleep since we had to wake up really early today just to get back to the dorm and prepare. Twice also had to wake up early to get ready as well. It didn't take long for us to arrive at the airport.

"JayB-ssi! Over here! Smile for the camera!" One of the photographers from one of the local news outlets called out as soon as we got out of the cars.

Our stylists, crew and staff went ahead of us to make sure that everything was in order before we arrived. They were also in charge of carrying our stuff for us when we headed inside of the airport. It was always like this. Our job was always to just stand in front of the camera and look our best. Jiwoo and Dominic usually had the best airport fashion. Today wasn't any different. It was really good too. After having our pictures taken, we started making our way to the airport.

The airport security on us was tight since we were also welcomed by the fans. It was hard to move around the airport because the fans were constantly following us. It was only when we entered the departure area that we felt like we could relax. We slowly made our way to the gate where our plane was currently docked but what awaited us was something that surprised us greatly.

"Hubby!" Dahyun yelled as soon as she saw us. She immediately ran towards me and jumped in to hug me while wrapping her legs around me. My wife was being a baby today.

"This is a surprise. I thought your flight was about an hour ago?" I asked as Dahyun continued to embrace me.

She giggled before giving me a long tender kiss. Matt-hyung cleared his throat. "Uh guys. I hate to break up the mood, but people are starting to stare."

I smiled wryly. "Sorry about that."

Dahyun then slowly let herself go. "Our flight was delayed."

When Dominic heard that, he immediately got concerned. "Is everything alright? Can the plane even fly you there in one piece? Do you want us to find you a new plane instead?"

Mina playfully slapped Dominic's shoulder. "Babe, relax. It's all fine. They're just making sure that everything's in order. There are two idol groups that are flying to China today after all."

"Really? Who?" I asked when I suddenly felt someone knock on my head before a set of arms wrapped around me from behind.

"Miss me?" The person said.

I turned around to see my sister Chungha who was smiling from ear to ear. "Kim Chanmi! You're here! My God! I missed you!"

She let go of me so I could turn to her. I immediately pulled her in for a hug and spun her around in excitement. It was easy to miss my siblings even if they kept on visiting me. I haven't even seen Kibum-hyung for a while now since he's promoting in Japan right now. He's also about to enter the army too. It would then be two years before we can actually hang out. That's why every moment I had with my family was precious to me.

"I'd smack you in the head if you didn't." Chungha chuckled as she pinched both of my cheeks. She then turned to Dahyun. "You must be my brother's wife AND real-life girlfriend."

Dahyun bowed immediately. "Hello, my name's Kim Dahyun. It's nice to finally meet you."

My sister raised her eyebrow at her. "Kim? You're a Kim?" She then turned to me. "You know how dad feels about being in a relationship with someone with the surname 'Kim'."

I snap my head towards Dahyun. "She's kidding."

"I'm not." Chungha said sternly before she turned to Dahyun. "Before you, my brother had an encounter with a 'Kim' that nearly ruined his life. Ultimately, he forgave this person. Because of my OTHER annoying brother, she's now our sister. Sure, I love Kei-ya. But ever since that day, my dad had seriously been against us pursuing someone who has the surname 'Kim'.

Dahyun bowed her head as she didn't know how to respond. This was unexpected. I didn't know that my sister would be this hard on her. But something amazing happened after that. Chungha suddenly gave Dahyun a bright smile. "But I can see that my brother really likes you. And he's never been this happy since her previous girlfriend. We were worried about it." Dahyun slowly lifted her head and saw Chungha's smile. "And I can see that you feel the same way about him too. That's why I'm letting this go."

I was surprised with what my sister just said. Even Dahyun's face lit up because of her words. After that she approached Dahyun and held both of her hands. "I already have two sisters. One more's not gonna change anything."

"Chungha-ssi…" Dahyun muttered.

My sister held her hand up in front of Dahyun. "Please, call me unnie." Chungha then turned to me. "But you have to introduce her to dad so there won't be any complications in the future. My guess is, he already knows about this, and he's just waiting for you to bring up the matter."

"I think so too." I replied.

Chungha raised her eyebrow at me. "When was the last time you called him?"

"A while now." I answered.

She sighed in response. "Alright. Just make sure to tell him about Dahyun-ie. I don't want to see you or HER ending up with a broken heart."

"Alright. I got it. Let's just stop talking about this depressing topic. You're scaring my girlfriend." I told her before pulling Dahyun to my side.

My sister then turned to Dahyun and smiled. "Am I scaring you? I'm really sorry. Don't worry. I won't bite you."

Dahyun chuckled before waving it off. "I'm fine."

"Alright, Chanmi-ya, let go of the lady." Dominic said before patting Chungha's head.

Chungha then fought back before clinging on to Dominic. "Oppa, you're still a hot mess I see. Which one of these pretty ladies is your girlfriend?"

Dominic rolled his eyes. "Are you kidding? And let you pick on her? No, thanks!"

My sister scoffed. "Don't worry. I'll find out for myself. Hey, Dominic-oppa's girlfriend, I'm willing to tell you all his dark secrets if you come and introduce you-"

I immediately covered my sister's mouth and turned her around. "Alright. I think that's about enough. Let's bring you back to your group now. Shall we?"

She escaped my grip. "Hey! What gives, oppa? I was about to have fun!"

"Yeah. Yeah. Let it go, Changmi-ya." I told her as I brought her back to her group.

My time with Dahyun and the rest of Twice was coming to an end for now, since we'd be flying soon. We spent the rest of our time hanging out near the gate entrance before they sent us off. It was going to be awhile before we saw each other again. After one tender kiss, we boarded our plane and flew to Jakarta.

_________

"Oppa! We love you!" Someone tried to speak in Korean as soon as we started heading towards our cars.

We finally arrived in Jakarta, Indonesia. One of the many beautiful cities in Asia in my opinion. As soon as we landed, there were already some fans who were trying to take some photos. The concert was tonight, but the hype was already at its peak. I could feel it from the crowd of fans who greeted us. Who knew that we were this popular in Indonesia? Well, it was obvious since a minute after we started selling our tickets online, it got sold out immediately. That's how eagerly the fans waited for us.

Still, there was no time to waste since we still needed to rest for an hour before having our technical and stage rehearsals. We were finally meeting our fans in a big concert like this. We've only met them through award shows, conventions, fan signs and guest performance events. Not in a major event of our own. The thought of it just excites me.

"Ya… this is just exhilarating." Jiwoo muttered as we quickened our pace.

Zee chuckled. "I know. I can't believe these many people came to greet us."

Matt-hyung then reminded us. "Just don't cause any trouble. Especially you, Zee-ya."

"I didn't even do anything." Zee complained.

Yo Chul-hyung. "Not yet. Just don't trip or something."

We hastened our steps since the crowd was starting to mob our security making our room to move shrink. It took us a while to make it past the airport and get inside our vehicles safely. We all sighed in relief as soon as we entered our cars. Wosik-hyung didn't waste any time as he started taking our orders. He knew that we would be busy the moment we started rehearsing. Even Ming Do-hyung didn't take his ears off his phone the moment we landed. There was still a lot to work on but we did our best not to get in their way and just comply with whatever was asked. These guys deserve credit.

Time seems to be at its top speed. Before we knew it, we were already at the end of our rehearsals. I was so focused on the tasks on hand that I barely felt the time pass by that quickly. Working with the sound engineers, lights, directing our movements on stage as well as adjusting our group's formation to the stage's size. Those were the things that got me busy. It was only during the hour before we'd head to our dressing rooms that I got to feel the exhaustion. The sad part was that this was just the first day, and the concert hasn't even started yet.

"Ming Do-hyung. I'm going to take a walk. I need to clear my head for a while." I told our manager as soon as I got off the stage.

Ming Do-hyung nodded. "Alright. But don't go too far. Do you need someone to go with you?"

I shook my head. "No need. It'll only attract unwanted attention."

It was hard to get out from the venue unnoticed. There were a lot of people outside the entrance. Thousands of fans were lining up and were waiting for our concert to start. It's still three hours from now but the line is already THAT long. The sight of this made me happy and I didn't even notice that a smile was creeping underneath my face mask. I decided to go to the nearest vending machine which was near the ticketing booth. Seeing the number of fans in the line, the merch and the second wave of tickets were probably sold out too. By now, there weren't even any people near here, except for the ticketing officers and a girl who was talking to them.. As I was getting my drink, the conversation between the officers and the person, who turned out to be a fan of ours, piqued my interest.

"Please! I was late because of the traffic! There has to be at least one more ticket!" The fan begged.

The ticketing officer sighed. "I'm sorry, miss. It's been 30 minutes since the tickets were sold out. Even the merchandise was cleaned out."

"Please! Please! Just one ticket!" The fan cried out but was ignored by the ticketing officer as the security stopped the person from approaching her any further.

The fan released a disappointed sigh before she went and sat on the stairs in front of the entrance. "I guess it was never meant to be."

"Rough day, huh?" I said as I offered her a soda.

She turned to me and narrowed her eyes before averting it elsewhere. "Sorry. I don't take free handouts from strangers. Especially from foreigners."

I spoke in English, and had a black cap and face mask on. Of course she'd be suspicious. But I manage to release a chuckle. "Can I at least take a seat beside you?"

"Can you sit somewhere else? There's a whole bunch of steps waiting to be sat on. I really am not in the mood for any chitchat." She fired back.

"Don't worry. I'm just here to cool my head off too. I'll leave once I'm better." I said as I just sat a few meters away from her.

She sighed deeply. "I'm sorry. It's just… I've been saving up for this concert. I was a few rupiah short before today so I tried to look for a way to earn a few extra income. When I finally got it, it was too late."

"I see. Do you really want to see these guys that badly?" I asked.

The fan turned to me with her eyebrow raised. " Aren't you here to watch their concert? As far as I know, they're the only group that'll be holding a concert here this month. You couldn't possibly be here to buy a ticket for the next group then."

"Smart girl. Let's just say that it's something like that." I replied as I popped the soda can open and offered it to her. She still had that questioning look. "Don't worry. I'm not trying to poison you or anything. There are a bunch of security guards behind us after all. Silly girl."

She finally gave in and took the can from me. I opened the other soda can before I sighed. "Why are you so interested in Alpha anyway? What did they ever do for you?"

"Listen, old man. Don't you dare talk about them as if you know them." She warned.

I scoffed. "Old man? Me? I'm not THAT old. And hey, what do YOU know about them?"

She smiled before gazing up at the sky. "I don't know about you. But has a person's music ever saved you?" Her words made me stop and think about it. And the answer was yes. Countless times in the previous life actually. I would have died out of so many regrets if it weren't for THAT person's music. A lot of people's music saved me from it. When I turned to look at her, there was a hint of sadness in her smile. "Let's just say that their music saved me. Is that enough?"

I smiled at her before bursting out in laughter as I slowly stood up and patted the dirt of my pants. "My, my. I'm getting even more excited for tonight."

The fan snapped her head towards me. "So you ARE watching! Say, is there any way I can buy your ticket from you. I'll do anything! Please! Just sell me your ticket!"

"Sadly, I don't have any tickets." I replied as I emptied out my pockets.She had a look of disappointment in her eyes. I then continued. "But I CAN help you get inside. But you need to do me two favors."

As soon as she heard that, she immediately covered herself as if she was afraid of me. "Forget it! I won't do THAT sort of thing!"

I didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Listen here. That is NOT what I meant. Will you just hear me out?"

She slowly eased up, but was still glaring at me. "Fine. Let's see what you have in mind first."

"It's simple really. All you have to do… is to promise me that you'll do your best to live happily everyday." I told her.

She stayed silent for a while before she slowly burst out laughing. "Seriously? That's it? I got worried for nothing!"

I chuckled. "Exactly. But I AM serious about that. So? What do you say?"

The fan was trying to calm herself down. "Alright. Alright. Fine. I promise. What's the second favor?"

"As for the second favor… you just have to tell me your name." I asked.

She scoffed. "You're pretty weird for someone who's going to help me get in the concert."

"Are you going to tell me or not?" I folded my arms.

"Alright. But I'll tell you the shorter version of my name since my full name is difficult to pronounce." She suggested which I nodded in response.

"Fair enough. So?" I continued.

She sighed before giving me a smile. "Angel… Angel Aura…"

My eyes widened. "That's a beautiful name."

The fan started blushing madly before averting her gaze. "Shut up. Now tell me, how will you get me inside."

"Hang on." I told her before pulling out my phone to call out Ming Do-hyung.

She scoffed. "Who did you call? And were you just speaking in Korean? Are you working for the group or something?"

I gave a hearty laugh as I slowly removed my disguise "Since you were kind enough to introduce yourself to me, allow me to introduce myself as well."

She gasped as soon as she saw me. "Ah- No way…"

I gave her a wide smile. "It's definitely an honor to meet you, Angel. My name's Kim Jinbo. But my friends and fans call me JayB."

"Are you having fun tonight?!" Zee yelled through the microphone to the thousands of fans in the venue. They all replied in unison with an echoing and loud 'yes'.

The concert here in Indonesia was coming to an end, but tonight was totally fun. I nearly passed out twice because of the exhaustion and lack of oxygen, but I still made it in the end. Even some of my members also had trouble breathing after every performance. Still, it was a memorable night especially when the fans cheered loudly for us. This was the part of our concert where we would be thanking our fans one by one before we ended it with the never-ending version of "Aju Nice". My members were almost done with their speech. Only Seiji-hyung and I were the last ones to give a speech.

Seiji-hyung then lifted his microphone. "I'm really thankful to everyone who came here tonight. Pack? Did you guys have fun?"

The audience answered back with a yes. He then continued. "I wish that we could continue performing for you guys, but like all good things, it must come to an end."

Our fans started aweing in response. Seiji-hyung then spoke. "But I'll definitely remember, Jakarta. That's for sure!"

The fans started cheering for him after he ended his speech. Knowing that I was the last member to give my speech, the crowd started chanting my name. It was really exhilarating for me to be hearing my name being chanted by thousands of fans. It was definitely memorable. When the crowd relaxed a little, I finally started delivering my speech.

"Thank you, pack." I said which made the fans cheer loudly again.

I waited for them to calm down before speaking. "Today, was definitely unforgettable for me. Not just because of the concert and the fans who I'm blessed to see, but because I made an unexpected friend here in Indonesia today."

All my members turned to me before Jeong Do spoke. "Really? When did that happen?"

Dominic then answered for me. "It must have happened when he went for a walk earlier today."

I chuckled. "That's right. I found a fan who was practically begging to buy a ticket. Sadly, they were all sold out by the time she got here."

Yo Chul-hyung nodded as he clicked his tongue. "Yeah. We saw how bad the traffic was when we got here this morning. I didn't know that it'd be worse in the afternoon. Did she get here okay though?"

"Yeah, she did." I answered back.

Jiwoo then walked over to me. "Can we ask her to come up here on stage?"

We all turned to the crew and waited for their permission to bring her up on the stage. Ming Do-hyung gave a thumbs up as he smiled brightly. When I saw it, I immediately turned to the crowd in the VVIP section. "Where are you Angel?"

"Woah. That's a pretty name." Matt-hyung said. Angel raised her hand and the crew helped her up on stage. My members saw her and were clapping their hands. Matt-hyung then chuckled. "Apparently, her name actually matched her face. Can we give a round of applause for Angel, everyone?"

The audience started cheering for her. I approached her and gave her a hug which made the girls in the front squeal. After Angel formally introduced herself, my friends started asking questions about how we met. She told her side of the story of her first impression about me. My friends started laughing and teasing me when Angel told them that she thought that I was a kidnapper or something. The fans also found this hilarious as they laughed along. Angel was happy to be able to meet her idols up close. I didn't know that she was a huge fan of Zhang. Of course, Zhang was happy to have his pictures taken with her.

Angel then went back to her seat as we decided to end the concert with a bang. We didn't perform Aju Nice but just messed around as the chorus played. We started throwing water balloons and tried to get each other wet by spraying out our water bottles. The fans were laughing like crazy as they too wanted to join. There were confetti and large balloons that were floating and falling everywhere. It was indeed the end of a successful start for our long tour. The concert lasted for three hours. By the time we arrived in our dressing rooms, it was already 15 minutes past 11PM.

After changing to our regular clothes, our crew members started treating the injuries and other discomfort that the rest of us were feeling. Some were experiencing body pains and other problems so they were treated right away. I also had to be treated since I was feeling some slight back pains. One of the crew members that we had, got me a massage as I watched another medic tape up Yo Chul-hyung's knees. Apparently, he hurt it during the performance, but by the time we'd arrive in the next city, it'll heal up.

We got to our hotel at around 1AM in the morning. I was pretty much drained from today's events. We still had to go to a couple of morning shows tomorrow in Indonesia, and as well as to a fan sign event in the afternoon before flying to the Philippines late in the evening. The company decided to let us have a night off tomorrow, but I doubt we would take that chance to tour the city. We'd probably be catching up on some sleep before the flight. It's not the first time we've been here in Jakarta anyway. I went through my SNS and saw that Dahyun was online. I sent her a quick message to see if it was alright to call. After receiving a positive reply, I immediately called her up.

"Hey, princess! How's your first concert experience?" I excitedly asked.

Dahyun yawned before she answered. "Hey, hubby. It was really fun. I got to meet a lot of fans today. How about you? I heard from a recent post online that you actually met a female fan."

I smiled wryly. "Word really travels fast, doesn't it? Yeah. I met her when she tried to buy a ticket from the ticketing booth. Sadly, she didn't make it."

She hummed in response. "I see. And you helped her, right? I'm really proud of you."

"Are you okay Dahyun-ie? You didn't even fight back." I worriedly asked since she sounded so tired while talking to me.

"Mhmm… I am. Just a little tired." She answered in return.

"Do you want to get some sleep instead? I can call you up tomorrow." I suggested.

Another yawning sound came from the other end of the line. "It's fine. I heard from Wosik-oppa that you had a tight schedule in the morning."

We continued chatting up and shared our experiences about our first day on the tour. Dahyun herself got really busy and worked hard today. But she didn't forget to have fun as she also went out with some of her members before their rehearsal started. Tzuyu became their translator as they went around to check out the sights. I also shared how our rehearsal turned out.

"And then I realized that I was slowly… Hello? Dahyun-ie?" I paused before I started calling out to her.

"Are you there Dahyun-ie?" I asked again but there was still no response. I tried calling her out several more times, before someone else answered.

"JayB-oppa? This is Chaeyoung." She replied.

I raise my eyebrow. "Chaeyoung-ie? Is Dahyun-ie okay?"

There was a pause from her before she replied. "I think she fell asleep while listening to you."

"You guys had a really long day, huh?" I asked.

"Uhuh. It's especially true for her since we went to a noontime variety show. She had to be hyper at that time since it was a comedy show." Chaeyoung answered before she asked. "Do you want me to wake her up?"

"No. It's okay. You should get some sleep too." I answered.

"Thanks, oppa. You guys take care of yourselves too." She replied before hanging up.

Who knew that the thing that I feared most when we start our tour would begin this soon?
