Chapter 64:
Chapter 64
The male rookie award goes to...
They danced around Park Seodam in the intro.
They added unnatural movements like dolls in the middle of the choreography, following the horror version of ‘dawn’ arranged by Lee Juhyuk.
“I remember the dawn when your breath touched me”
Ian, who was pushed away after biting Park Seodam’s neck, sang.
The fans cheered loudly at his powerful voice.
The rookies who performed before them had only lip-synced to the recorded AR with their breathing sounds.
They couldn’t feel the live vibe.
“Wow, he’s handsome.”
“His live is amazing.”
“He doesn’t look like a rookie. He’s good.”
Seo Minho of MOM whispered to his fellow member.
“Don’t run away, I’m looking at you
Come to me, I’ll give you this night as a gift”
Park Seodam, who was caught by Park Jinhyuk, shook his shoulders and shook off his hand.
Then he was caught by Jo Taewoong, who was singing his part.
The stage, composed of a fleeing sacrifice and a chasing vampire, had no dull moments.
As the song was nearing the end, 20 dancers dressed as priests filled the stage.
“It’s like an end-of-year stage.”
“What if they show this at the grand prize?”
“They worked hard for this.”
The singers who reacted favorably to Awi murmured.
Park Seodam, who showed a fierce military dance with his members in the center, suddenly stretched his arms to both sides.
A low vibration sound followed, and the people on the stage swayed.
Soon after, as if hit by a shock wave, the members and dancers fell to the floor.
Park Seodam, who relaxed and smiled faintly at that moment.
“At the end of this dawn, I’m waiting for you”
Ian, who sang the last verse, got up slowly.
Then he grabbed Park Seodam’s neck from behind and fell back with him.
“Gasp!”
The audience swallowed their breaths as they watched him dive back without hesitation.
The dancers who were waiting in advance caught their bodies and laid them down so they wouldn’t hit the floor.
The other members and dancers crawled toward Ian and Park Seodam like zombies approaching their prey.
The red light went off and the stage went dark.
The people who were just gaping at the shocking ending clapped and shouted.
“It’s like watching a musical.”
“That was awesome.”
Some group members even gave them a standing ovation.
“That was Awi’s special Halloween stage, the last nominee for the rookie award.”
Ignoring MC’s progress, Awi quickly ran backstage.
-Their stage is fun. They are a stage powerhouse
-Are they really rookies?
-I was going to turn off the broadcast and watch my idols come out, but I watched their whole stage
-They are crazy
The live comment section on the portal site went up fast.
“Are you okay, Seodam?”
“Yeah, what about you, hyung?”
“The dancers caught us so we’re fine.”
Awi entered backstage and gulped down the water handed by the staff.
There was no time to go back to the waiting room because the rookie award ceremony was right after the stage.
They took off their receivers, in-ears, and microphones and handed them to the staff.
“Wow, Seodam’s arm strength is amazing. I almost fell earlier.”
“Really, hyung?”
“I’m fine.”
Park Jinhyuk patted Park Seodam’s shoulder.
“Was our stage okay? Did anyone make a mistake?”
“Juhyuk hyung, we were perfect, right?”
“Didn’t we do our best stage ever? Listen to the cheers. I can still hear them.”
“I wish we could monitor it right away since it’s live.”
Awi members smiled with satisfaction.
While MC was hosting, the rookie nominees came backstage one by one.
“Rookie nominees, please come up now!”
Jo Tae-woong, who was right next to him, quickly added more words.
“And our AWY fans who voted hard for us to give us this award! You worked hard! Thank you! Thank you!”
The fans cheered, and the light sticks in the audience seats flickered.
As AWY turned around after looking at that picturesque scene, the people who were nominated for the award bowed their heads and greeted them.
“Congratulations.”
The rookie groups that had been standing like a folding screen. Ian sighed softly.
‘Who told them to stand there? That’s really cruel.’
They should have just let them sit in the singer seats and call only the winners to the stage.
[You’re too nosy. Why do you care about them? You’re the ones who won anyway.]
Jin didn’t understand him. But Ian remembered that he was just like them when he was in ‘Diamond’, so he greeted them more politely.
***
“Wow, rookie award! This is our first award.”
The trophy in Ian’s hand, who was heading to the waiting room, went through the hands of other members.
Kim Hyun stared blankly at the trophy and said, Park Jin-hyuk said without any tact.
“Hey, why are you leaving out ‘Cheating’?”
“That’s only your award.”
“Hey, technically we all worked on it together. Let’s count it as a group award.”
“Yeah! Let’s count it as two awards.”
Jo Tae-woong and Ian teased Kim Joo-young on both sides of him.
“Did you see Kim Joo-young crying earlier?”
“Yeah, I saw him sobbing like a baby.”
“What’s wrong with crying because I’m happy! Hey, Seo-dam also cried!”
“Seo-dam is the youngest.”
Jo Tae-woong poked Kim Joo-young’s cheek and teased him.
“Guys, don’t make a fuss in the hallway.”
Lee Joo-hyuk opened the door to the waiting room, and a loud bang followed by a flower pollen firework went off.
“Wow! What a surprise!”
“What is this?”
Ian and Jo Tae-woong were more surprised by Kim Hyun’s scream than by the firework.
“Guys, congratulations on your rookie award!”
“And congratulations on Jin-hyuk’s solo award!”
It was Park Dong-soo and other staff members from their agency.
“Thank you!”
The members of AWY bowed their heads and greeted the staff members.
“If you think about it, Dong-soo hyung also did his part.”
“Yeah, yeah, he’s our eighth member.”
Ian and Jo Tae-woong high-fived with Park Dong-soo.
“What, Seo-dam is crying again?”
“Seo-dam, you can’t cry! We have to go out again!”
“I can’t stop the tears!”
The members snorted at his crying and happy face.
“The youngest is the youngest.”
“Let’s clean up the makeup first.”
The actors who received the awards left one by one, but the singers were not done just because they received the awards.
“What if Seo-dam’s eyes are swollen on the singer seat cam?”
It was impossible for a rookie to receive an award and not show up on the singer seat.
AWY had to sit in the singer seat until the end of AAMA and watch the performances and awards.
The next day after AAMA, the fancams of the cammers flooded MyTube.
