I Decided To Become a Perfect Girl chapter 168

168 – Saven (complete)

Although they had become more familiar with the stage and had stronger pace control through previous concerts and tours, the members were drenched in sweat and breathing heavily.

After the opening, they performed the Title song and several other b-side songs in succession, more intensely than usual.

─Then, let us all say hello first!

─I am in seventh heaven. Hello, this is Saven!

As if resonating with the leader Hana’s lively chant and greeting slogan.

ㅡWow!

Enthusiastic cheers erupted from the audience.

─There are so many things we want to say right now, but bear with us for now! Shall we give a personal greeting starting with the youngest, Dohee?

─Yes, I am a Confucian girl with a very bright personality and the youngest member who is like a leader. Right?

Dohee looks around at the members around her and asks for their consent.

─Well, I don’t know. Seeing what he does to his sisters… Bitter.

─Confucianism, it’s not Confucianism! You always treat me like your little brother…!

Of course, there was no way I would get the answer I wanted.

─No, Dohee… Is a Confucian girl…

Except for one person.

─Oh, I don’t know, I don’t know. That’s it!

In the center of the stage, Dohee took a step forward.

And the cheers of ‘SavenU’ are getting even hotter today.

Dohee paused slightly at the sound, but then smiled brightly and waved her hand.

─Yes, I want to be the number one leader, but unfortunately, I am Lee Do-hee, the youngest. Hello!

While Dohee was constantly waving her hands, the members gently straightened their hair and drank bottled water.

Then, other members introduced themselves one by one.

─Now I say harang! You say? Oh, I got confused for a second. Again! Again!

In particular, when Harang came to the front, the cheers were noticeably louder than those of the members before him.

─I say ha! You say lang! Going!

Fans said that Harang was like that until her last day, so they just smiled and did as she asked.

─Ha!

ㅡand!

─Ha!

ㅡand!

ㅡGood, good! Of course, our Chavenue is the best!

As Jeon Harang jumped here and there and sent hearts with her hands, fans responded by wildly waving their cheering sticks.

Thanks to that, Chaerin, who was next in line, had a great time.

Because of the burden.

─Oh, I can’t do that.

─Why can’t you do it! Let’s show Gong Chae-rin! You’ve been prepared!

─What do I prepare when? It’s just Insande!

─Hello, did you think this was just a simple greeting? In front of 20,000 fans!?

At times like this, Chae-rin’s face was captured on the electronic screen as she looked resentfully at Ha-rang, who ignited her fire by saying something.

Laughter erupted here and there at the two’s comical conversation.

After a while, Chaerin, who seemed to have made a big decision, came forward and cheers of encouragement poured in from her.

ㅡWow!

But Chae-rin’s expression became even more determined.

─Ah, if you put pressure on them, they will do worse! I just don’t know! Hello, this is Gong Chae-rin! Gong Chae-rin!

Fans cheered and laughed even louder as they saw their eyes closed tightly.

The members behind her were also bursting into laughter.

While greeting them like that, the members, who had cooled off to some extent, calmly recited the comments they had prepared.

─Come on! Welcome to our monumental Gocheok Stadium exclusive concert!

ㅡWow!

However, Seo-yoon suddenly shows a glum expression.

─But there is a very serious problem.

While fans were puzzled by the unexpected appearance.

The members run to the center of the stage again, leaving Seoyoon behind, wondering how long it has been since they drank water and cooled off their sweat.

─Now we’re going to perform again without any time to rest! Hey! Let’s go together!

And Seo-yoon runs away late.

At the same time, exciting wind instruments and brass filled the concert hall.

This is the beat prelude to Arranged by Dohee and Chaerin.

The members who took their seats in the center looked at each other and started chatting, as if recreating the intro to the extravaganza’s music video.

We actually chatted as if the stage and microphone were showing off that it was live.

─I heard that Saven prepared a lot of stages that can only be seen at today’s concert?

─So, so many! It was a full 3 hours!

─Hmm… But I can’t just show it… Do I need to get a lot of response?

─There should soon be cheers!?

Those words were echoed by the cheers of fans filled with anticipation.

And then, as if in response, the members turned their heads toward the audience in time with the prelude that ended and performed the choreography of the extravaganza.

「The situation is serious, if we are together with you,

But I also know that it is fate.”

Shake your shoulders to the rhythm.

Throwing up his arms.

Move with footwork to the beat.

Sometimes it stops abruptly to show a change in rhythm.

「Baby maybe we are a twisted fantasy

An adventure that is still not over

Still, we are Side by Side”

Everyone continued with the exciting and exciting Girls Hip Hop choreography.

Just watching those dances that matched the progression of the song, which had a lively night festival feel, was so enjoyable that it made me smile.

Really, it was a festival, not a funeral.

* * *

The backstage, where the members rushed out as soon as the stage went dark, was no different from a battlefield.

I sat down on the chair and leaned back.

I was out of breath.

Someone tapped my shoulder.

It seemed like the staff member was asking if I was okay.

“Shall I give you a respirator?”

I lifted my upper body.

“It’s okay if you rest a little, but it’s okay…”

All members except Hana were already wearing respirators.

Then I should write it too.

There is no point in trying to act tough.

“Yes, yes. Please.”

I nodded and put on the oxygen respirator.

Honestly, I don’t think it’s very helpful.

But it’s still better than not doing anything.

Meanwhile, she felt a hand wiping her face with a cloth.

“Dohee, clothes!”

The coordination staff members dropped the Velcro that was temporarily securing the costume.

And I brought new clothes right away.

Everyone was moving frantically.

It wasn’t like this originally.

It was all planned in advance.

Because it’s the last concert.

The mindset was to give it a try even though the set list was a bit daunting, out of breath, and difficult.

Anyway, there’s no way I can’t last two days, right?

Instead, the members spoke sparingly to conserve stamina.

“Now, we have to go up!”

But before getting on the stage lift again, I shouted a slogan loudly.

ㅡLet’s go! Make the heaven Wake the Saven!

This was strictly our last performance included in the set list.

* * *

The members came out to the stage and enjoyed it together.

The moments with the fans kept me moving without stopping.

The performance continued to be bright and exciting.

In addition, there were solo and unit performances by members with breaks in between the set list.

Hana and Harang were the first to perform on stage.

Befitting the name hahahahazu, the two who usually laugh the most appeared in completely different appearances.

The song performed by the two wearing casual gray suits is a provocative mixed dance song.

The two of them refrained from directly appealing their s*xiness, but brilliantly brought out their strange sensuality, electrifying the concert hall.

Seoyoon and Yeeun covered dance pop songs even though they were selected as the vocal line.

Seven’s choreography has never been difficult, and Seoyoon, who was originally good at it, has become even prettier with her dancing lines, and Yeeun’s skills have grown incomparably compared to the beginning.

They showed a high-quality stage.

Chaerin, who was proud among her fans to be the best dancer, unexpectedly appeared wearing an electric guitar.

She knew that Chae-rin played the guitar, but since this was her first time seeing her, her fans’ hearts fluttered.

And she released her own solo song.

Her self-composed song, which is simple yet easy to listen to with her electric guitar and folk rhythm, was enjoyable to listen to in itself as it contained her own senses and emotions.

With all the members performing solo stages with images they had never seen before, fans’ expectations rose endlessly.

Lastly, it was Dohee and Sarah’s turn.

A stage with white lights shooting out and fog pouring down.

The screen in the exact center split open.

Cheers erupting like crazy.

I heard that all members showed a unique unit and solo stage.

There was still only one stage that fans wanted from Dohee.

Piano.

Of course, Dohee, who did not know the needs of her fans, had no intention of doing so.

-This time, I’m really showing a male dance song.

-Dohee, did you hear a good response from the piano last time? Should I go with that again?

-Oh, I don’t like it!

-Okay Dohee on the piano~

This was also the reason why I resolved again to become a leader.

Still, while all the members showed off their unique side, I felt that it would be a shame to just play the piano like before, so I chose it in the end.

Sera sitting at the piano.

The two faces facing each other appeared on the electronic display board.

All members are pretty and cute.

Among them, the sum of the two is called the representative visual of the 4th generation.

‘Wow, you’re crazy.’

‘You’re breaking up like this…? ‘Am I going to die?’

‘It is paradise.’

The mere appearance itself aroused admiration.

And the two sang a serenade together to Dohee’s piano accompaniment.

A quiet and emotional stage delivered to fans.

The endlessly enjoyable stage disappeared for a moment.

Dohee’s beautiful performance, when their two voices layered to create a melody.

When the eyes of the two people who met each other during the performance suddenly turned towards the fans.

The conveyed emotions made fans who had vaguely forgotten about the breakup realize that the concert had reached the very end.

* * *

─Let us sit here and talk for a moment.

─Wow, it totally sounded like something my mom would say when she was scolding me.

We were having a lively conversation for no reason.

─I think Harang got scolded a lot.

─Yes, Dohee, you too!

─I’m a model student, so there wasn’t anything like that?

─What? What does he say? I already made an official statement saying that your mother personally scolded you a lot.

─Ah

I sat on a chair on stage.

Now, only the last song was ahead.

But there is still an encore left.

It’s still a little okay.

─We are now approaching the last song, Shavenu.

Hana took the microphone.

─There was so much help from so many people before I could stand on this stage. It seems like I’m copying Dohee’s testimonial, huh.

─That’s right, this is plagiarism.

─Be quiet. Anyway, this wouldn’t have been possible if it wasn’t for you. Thank you so much. We had only really happy memories.

And the final thoughts were postponed.

If I tell you now, I’m afraid I’ll cry before I even sing.

─Did you have a lot of fun?

Do you know our hearts?

ㅡYesssss!!!

A louder and louder shout than ever was heard.

─Then, I will tell you the last title song, ‘New Day’, which is being released for the first time today.

Acoustic guitar accompaniment rang out.

After the soft melody prelude.

Seoyoon’s soft vocalization spread along with her trembling breath.

Unni Chaerin smiled as she made eye contact with each person.

Harang, who had been waving her hands, now held her breath and sang.

Ye-eun held the microphone with both hands and sang with all her emotions.

One sister lowered her head while singing.

Sera started crying openly.

「When we have a good day together

On the coming new day

Sometimes anxiety would surround me.

What did I look like back then?

What did you think when you saw me?

The moment we laughed together

The path I walked while hiding my fear

Perhaps you were just as anxious as me?

When the sun rises, we will no longer be there.

Because there is no such thing as eternity.

Then how about it, when we make eye contact?

There is no next thought.

Don’t cry in the bright morning

I will become the rain and comfort you

I will become the sunlight and hug you warmly

I will become a star and always shine

Keeping our stories

It will be a new day, will you be it?”

And I tried to sing calmly while carefully examining the members and the audience.

Phrases that fill the 4th floor of Gocheok Dome.

I shed tears after watching .

The sobbing sound that echoes throughout Gocheok Dome.

I thought I would never hear the sound of so many people sobbing in my entire life.

I felt like I would never be forgotten for the rest of my life.

* * *

The stage where the members left after the last performance.

A not-so-bright encore sign began to ring out in the spacious concert hall.

After a while, a quiet and peaceful accompaniment began to flow.

「You and I, everything became special

It’s already a star of stars.”

Saven’s fan song.

Cross-edited videos showing the seven members’ past appearances appeared on the electronic display board.

[Hello. Top East Entertainment trainee! I’m Seo-yoon Kim, 18 years old! I look forward to!]

[Hello~ This is Haru Enter Harang! My goal is to become like Coral Blue seniors! I am confident in rap!]

[Hello! This is Lee Do-hee, a 15-year-old 4-year trainee at Top East Entertainment!]

First, the members’ first audition video.

[Uh… Hello, this is Kwon Hana from Pudding Entertainment. I never dreamed that I would get injured as an athlete and succeed in debuting as an idol…]

[This is Gong Chae-rin. She will always be grateful and will strive to become a singer who knows how to be humble and grateful at every moment. Thank you.]

[Mom told me not to go out here. I’m scared that I’ll get hurt. But mom, I don’t get hurt. Rather, I met so many good people… I am grateful to all the participants. Thank you to the production crew. Thank you so much, Chuseo. I will do my best…!]

[At first, I was in Tier 5 and received harsh reviews from the trainers… But I think I was able to come this far thanks to so many unnies, Dohee, and the trainers. I am truly grateful that I have made great progress just by being able to become a candidate.]

Successive live broadcasts, when the final rankings of Save were announced.

The hearts of the Sabenyus were heartbroken.

The fans’ eyes became unbearably moist.

And then, Saven’s first debut.

Saven’s first fan signing event.

Saven’s first year-end performance, impressions from the Rookie Award.

Saven’s first concert.

Saven’s first tour.

Moments full of firsts.

And the first and last thoughts of Saven Dohee.

[When I looked back at Saven later. When I thought of it. I will become a member of SAVEN who works hard, always, anywhere, so that the people who helped and loved me… Can feel fortunate that they like this group.]

At the end of the VCR video.

Members came up.

Going back to the beginning, they performed the title song ‘I’m in Love’ from .

And finally, the members expressed their feelings by reciting letters they had written to their fans.

Everyone burst into tears.

I have not cried once during the preparation process.

At the actual concert, in front of the fans.

Tears that I had never cried before burst out all at once.

I almost fell to my knees and cried.

Because more than just the members cried.

The youngest child earned the title of crybaby.

It didn’t matter anyway.

I cried because it made me cry.

Sometimes it felt good to cry.

[Saven concludes activities for 1 year and 6 months… Official disbandment on the 1st]

Seven, who has been consistently releasing albums, performed his last group stage with On the 23rd and 24th. At the time, the Saven members greeted their fans, saying, “We only had really happy memories.”

Afterwards, on April 1, 2024, the project girl group Save ended its activities as scheduled and disbanded.

I look forward to the future activities of the Saven members.
