143 – Performance or Concert (1)
If you ask me whether I like my sister or not, of course I would say the former.
Regardless of her blood relatives, she was always kind, pretty, and good at everything, and was the pride of her family.
[Sister: Sister Doya is sad today]
[Me: ㅇㅇ]
[Sister: If you give a short answer, I won’t give you pocket money.]
[Me: Yes]
[Sister: I won’t even buy you a new Nintendo game]
[Me: Why are you sad today?]
[Sister: I want to see Doa ㅠㅠ]
[Me: (OK rabbit emoticon)]
“Ugh…”
Separately, sometimes I would sigh, thinking that my older sister, who kept playing pranks, was childish.
But she also likes her older sister.
If her older sister were to brag about her, she would talk for hours. She
Of course she came forward and she never boasted.
She has no intention of bragging in the first place.
-My mom bought me Seven’s album as a birthday present ~ Are you jealous?
-Let’s make an album! Let’s make an album!
-Wow Lee Do-hee’s Poka!!!
-Wow, that costs 100,000 won!
She was already a regular topic of conversation among her school friends without her having to come forward and say it.
-But it’s Doya. You look so much like Lee Do-hee!
-Really?
-Yes, I think their facial expressions are similar! The face is pretty too!
-I see. Thank you.
I hated being bothered more than anything, so I hid it.
In any case, the title of her older sister’s younger sister made her quite proud.
But there were times when she hated her older sister.
[Me: So when are you coming?]
[Sister: Do you miss me? Lol]
[Sister: But I don’t know ㅠㅠ]
[Sister: In a month or two?]
Since her debut, she has not had any vacations, and the number of times she has stopped by her house is one of the few.
That’s why I couldn’t help but be excited on a day like today.
“Oppa! Are you all dressed? You have to dress nicely!”
“Yes~ I’ll go now!”
Hotel near the concert venue.
The family, who had been waiting at the accommodation they had booked the day before due to inconvenient transportation, finally finished preparing to leave.
From noble mtl dot com
“Doya, please hold Dad’s hand!”
And as soon as he leaves the dorm, his father reaches out to him.
My father, who urged me on every time, seemed somehow pitiful.
“Okay.”
So, when I reached out my hand out of pity, my father looked touched.
“Doah, even when you grow up, you have to keep holding Dad’s hand like this, okay?”
“Yes.”
I think it’s her sister’s fault.
“Doya, isn’t it hot? Should we go and get some ice cream?”
“Yes.”
When I left the accommodation, the sun I faced was still too hot for September, the beginning of early fall.
“But it’s going to be very hot during Dohee’s performance. I should have prepared Schisandra chinensis tea and brought it to you in advance.”
Her mother was worried about her older sister, but the sky was clear so it was a good day to go see her concert.
“Are you happy to see your concert?”
She nodded lightly towards her smiling father.
Aside from that, her mom and dad seemed to be in a much better mood than I was.
I headed to the concert hall with such light steps.
The crowd grew rapidly as it got closer to the concert venue.
“A lot of people came.”
“Yes. They said all the seats were sold out.”
And banners hanging here and there.
[Saven 1st Concert ‘Link: to Seventh Heaven’]
It was her first time attending a concert, but the heated atmosphere changed into a passionate smell that left an impression on Doa.
‘…Cool.’
The Olympic Gymnastics Stadium is a short walk away from the point where the banner is visible.
“Doya, you are my sister!”
Photos of Saven members were placed here and there throughout the concert hall.
The one that stands out the most among them is definitely my older sister.
“Yes, it’s my sister.”
She almost said, ‘I have eyes too,’ as if she had passed it on to her sister, but she swallowed it and smiled at her mother.
Her mom took out her phone and took a picture of her sister and this time she held my hand.
“Would you like to take a picture in front of your mom and her sister?”
“Okay, okay.”
“Brother, come to work too, take a selfie of the three of you and send it to Dohee!”
She was posing in front of the poster and taking pictures.
I suddenly feel the gaze towards myself.
“Hey, look over there. Isn’t that baby really cute?”
“Wow, that crazy dog is cute…”
At the starting point of my gaze, two college-aged sisters were chatting for a while.
“I guess I came with my parents because I wanted to see the concert. What should I do?”
“That’s why it’s so cute…!”
This was also routine.
“But doesn’t it somehow resemble that baby Dohee? Should I say it’s the vibe?”
It was nice to see, but it could be annoying for no reason.
When I thought I had finished taking pictures of her, I grabbed her mother’s hand and started talking to her.
“Mom, I’m going to go sit down now. My legs hurt.”
“Really? Then let’s go…”
Mom’s eyes were focused on one place.
“Oh! Doya, should we go buy some merchandise for my mom and sister? Look at that, it’s so cute!?”
This is the goods shop.
In an instant, her mother grabbed her hand and walked quickly to her merchandise booth, looking excited.
“Ugh…”
I definitely think my mom is just like her older sister.
She couldn’t help but calmly wait for her mother to go shopping.
Whenever she goes home, it is full of her sisters’ things, but she doesn’t understand why her mother buys them.
Of course, my mother had a warm heart to keep her daughter’s records.
Doa was in the 5th grade of elementary school, and it was still difficult to understand her mother’s feelings.
After stuffing both her mother’s hands with shopping bags, Doa entered the concert hall not too late.
The seats where the family would sit were in a specially prepared area for invitation seating.
And then Doa’s brows furrowed slightly as her face was barely visible.
“Doya!”
Her high school older sister runs towards her and hugs her tightly.
“Oh wow, it’s been a while!”
It was Woowa, whom I had seen a few times with her older sister.
And the two who follow in her older sister’s footsteps.
“Hello, mother and father~”
Naeun Unni bows and bows.
“Mother and father Konnichiwa-“
She used Japanese playfully.
“Use it, Chiyo.”
“Hey, kimchi. You have to speak respectfully in Korean in front of your parents.”
Being scolded by Na-eun and Woo-ah.
“Eh…? Kimchi…? That’s too much… I don’t know Korean well… I’m not Kimchi, I’m Kimchiyo…”
Chiyo was just as strange as my older sister, or even more so.
***
“Wow, there are so many. It’s so…!”
Kim Seo-yoon, who goes to the bathroom repeatedly when nervous, must have glanced at the audience and shouted in an angry tone, unable to even take a deep breath.
“Did you eat Cheongsimhwan?”
I bought Cheongsimhwan in advance in case I forgot this time.
“Yes, on an empty stomach before coming.”
Then I’m glad.
“But sister, can I not eat anything?”
“What did you eat?”
“Just a simple salad.”
“Oh, I really don’t even go in right now. Ugh… After the concert, I will eat the most delicious food, really.”
Since the audience was blocked from entering during the rehearsal, I had to judge it by the murmurs coming from outside, but when I actually saw the audience filling the auditorium with my own eyes, I must have felt quite nervous.
‘Well, there were 9,000 people at the first solo concert.’
I remembered an article I saw a while ago.
[Saven’s first concert, 18,000 seats sold out on both days]
[Saven Concert that caused a temporary server failure]
Of course, not only good things happened under the title of completely sold out.
If the back of the stage is emptied right now, the maximum capacity of the Olympic Gymnastics Stadium is 11,000 people.
However, the number of tickets we sold was 9,000 per day.
-Why is the capacity 9,000?
└That’s what companies do in the first place. They reduce the number of people and raise prices to maximize profits.
└Is this true? Does it make sense that the basic ticket price is 150,000 won?
└ㄹㅇ I wonder if LE is crazy about money lol Large companies do it more
└I want to be smitten with what that agency is doing, but when I look at the kids, it’s my fault for falling in love, ugh.
Fans were outraged by the tyranny of the agency’s higher-ups and LE.
“Let’s do our best. We should at least show you the price of the ticket.”
That’s why the members are even more motivated.
“Yes. You practiced a lot.”
While playing a game, Hana’s older sister caught her and made her practice harder than anyone else. Her older sister’s face looked pale.
“I really… Did… A lot…”
The preparation was that perfect.
During rehearsals, there were no mistakes in movement and eye contact was perfect.
“But where did Ye-eun go?”
“Her? What video was that? Was it music or something? Anyway, she was going to the bathroom while listening to it.”
“Huh?”
Yeeun and her older sister came back a few minutes later, looking brimming with confidence.
“Everyone get out of the way! Park Ye-eun is dispatched!”
As the members finished preparing one by one and gathered in one of the waiting rooms, Hana smiled as she slowly extended her hand to the center.
“Then should we all put our hands together? We should shout slogans.”
I really don’t want to do it.
“Ah, this is embarrassing.”
“Aren’t you embarrassed to be cute all the time?”
“Your face.”
“Yes, I am Kim Seo-yoon. Cool beauty. You are Lee Do-hee. I plan to show cuteness on stage again today.”
“It’s noisy.”
“Information. I plan to use it tomorrow as well.”
…f*ck.
“I think that Dohee is cute…”
…A little.
Meanwhile, Chaerin put her hand on top of her older sister’s hand and said,
“Guys, gather Hana’s hands before she gets annoyed again.”
“Hey, Gong Chae-rin. When did I get annoyed?”
And although no one can sympathize with her, her sister’s unfair cries made her momentarily silent.
After a while, hands full of nail art gathered in one place.
“One, two, three!”
ㅡMake the heaven wake the saved! Go for it!
Really, every time I do it, the staff laughs.
I’m embarrassed and embarrassed… But I don’t feel too bad after doing it.
“It’s 40 minutes before opening!”
Until all empty audience seats are filled.
Less than 1 hour left.
