The VCR signaling the start of the concert turns off….

ridge-.

Paat-!

“Waaa …

As the center spotlight came on, the Rookies members appeared, sitting at the desks on stage wearing their costumes for some time.

♪♬♬-!!

The intro to begins to flow.

-Don’t come near me for a moment.

-This is the distance between you and me

“Don’t come-!!”

Yoo Chang-seon started cheering with the woman next to him who he had been chatting with and the Rookies fans who filled the 15,000 seats.

The hot heat opened Yoo Chang-seon’s eyes, which had been bored for a while.

‘be pleasant.’

When I first saw Ha Ye-rin in the military, I liked her face.

Next, I liked Hayerin’s voice and dancing.

I liked Hayerin’s stage and Hayerin herself was good.

From then on, I stopped liking Ha Ye-rin.

Besides Ha Ye-rin… Lee Hye-jeong, Yoo Seol, Na Han-na, Park Yoo-jeong, Seo Yu-jin.

I liked all the Rookies members.

I liked all of Rookies’ songs.

The music show was good. The music video was good. The showcase was good.

And now… .

Along with countless other Rookies fans who think like him….

“Waaa-!!”

“Rookies-!”

It’s good to wave your hands and cheer.

Before the concert started, Yoo Chang-sun was sad that this would be Rookies’ last activity.

But right now at this moment… .

He forgot everything and focused only on the Rookies’ stage and cheering them on.

-If you still wonder

-Follow me

“Follow me-!!!”

With such a hot atmosphere, Rookies’ first and last concert began.

**

After the stage for , the title song of the first album, ended, the stage for the songs included in the first album followed.

This track is less interesting than the title track, but… .

Rookies fans continued to cheer and shout just as much as they did during the time of .

“Waaa-!”

“Gyaaa-!!”

“Pretty-!!”

It’s a real festival.

At first, I was worried about whether I would be able to properly perform on stage in front of so many fans because of the pressure… .

‘Happy… .’

The only emotions I feel right now are joy and excitement.

The 15,000 fans here love me and love us.

Know our songs and sing along with us.

Laugh. Scream.

All that energy is gathered into me and… .

It fills my whole body.

Thanks to the passionate enthusiasm of the fans, the members, including myself…, are able to continue on stage with a joyful atmosphere instead of a gloomy one, even though this is the last concert.

So we finished the stage with the songs from the first album… .

“Everyone-!”

“Waaa-!”

I picked up the mic.

What makes concerts different from other stages like music shows or festivals is that there are small talk segments like this here and there.

“Thank you for coming!”

“Gyaaa-!”

When my face appeared on the big screen, the fans cheered again.

We bowed our heads once in response to the fans’ cheers, smiled, and continued our comment.

“This stage is our first single, ! Let’s get started right away, so enjoy!”

“Waaah-! … Hmm?”

Even amidst the cheers, many fans expressed questions.

That would be the case… because our costumes were the same as when we performed , so we couldn’t start the performance right away.

The concept of the first album is a transfer student.

Thanks to that, we were wearing the same school uniforms as when we were in high school.

But the concept of is girl crush and sexiness.

‘The first album’s costumes and the concept of don’t seem to fit?’

… you might be thinking.

But before the fans’ questions could be resolved, the intro to was played.

♪♩♩♩-!

And before the first verse… .

Wham!

“… … !!!”

The backup dancers behind them rushed at each member and ripped off their costumes.

What was suddenly revealed while everyone was dumbfounded by the situation was the costume from that was inside.

Only then did the fans realize that this was a prepared performance and they started screaming.

“Gyaaa …

“Waaa-!”

Even though I became an adult this year… half of the Rookies members were still minors.

Maybe that’s why.

In the past, we often drew a line when deciding on a concept.

was the only song with a sexy concept, but it was also quite wholesome compared to other idols.

That’s why I often feel regretful about it, so this time I suggested a performance of tearing clothes.

Of course, that doesn’t mean the performance was obscene or that the costumes inside were overly short… .

“You’re crazy-!!!!”

“Protect the kids-!!”

“Kids-!!!!!!”

It must have seemed too bold to fans who were used to only eating mild flavors.

If your precious daughters came home one day with tattoos all over their bodies, would that be your reaction?

I somehow found myself laughing at the overprotectiveness of our fans who seemed to genuinely care about us.

**

“No…! You guys are going to catch a cold…!”

Yoo Chang-sun was genuinely worried and shouted at the Rookies’ costume-ripping performance.

Actually, the Rookies’ costumes weren’t that short at the time.

Rather, compared to the average sexy concept, it is more covered up.

But Yoo Chang-seon was genuinely worried in his heart.

Actually, when he was in the military, he also liked idols with bold outfits… .

The Rookies wanted to protect him more than that.

Especially Hayerin.

Yoo Chang-seon felt a strong urge to approach Ha Ye-rin, his favorite, and cover her with his coat.

But contrary to that thought… .

‘… But Yerin is really damn pretty.’

Yoo Chang-seon couldn’t easily take his eyes off Ha Ye-rin.

Yerin’s appearance right now… , does it stimulate men’s primal instincts?

-I’m not as stupid as you think.

Whenever I watch Ha Ye-rin on stage, I somehow find myself becoming absorbed in her.

-BB-Breaking bad!

-Stop pretending to be nice.

But this time, I became obsessed with Ha Ye-rin for a different reason than usual.

**

After the somewhat unconventional stage, what came next were the members’ individual cover stages.

From Lee Hye-jeong’s ballad stage, which was the first start, to Seo Yu-jin’s cover of the SAV legend group, Na Hanna’s American hip-hop dance song, and Park Yu-jeong’s memorable female-oriented animation theme song.

“Waaa-!”

Rookies fans cheered loudly for the members’ solo stage, which they were seeing for the first time since the NaA ratings.

And the next one to come out is Yoo Seol.

“What should I call Seol-i?”

“Well.”

Since the songs that each member would sing were kept a secret until the show began, people could only guess.

In this midst of curiosity and anticipation, Yoo Seol appears.

“Huh?”

“Where have I seen that outfit before… .”

The song started while fans tilted their heads at the sight of Yoo Seol wearing a rather lively outfit.

♩♪♬♬-!

“… … !”

This is a song that any idol fan cannot help but know.

The debut song of Tailrose from JJ Entertainment, one of the three major entertainment companies, .

Everyone here knows that Yoo Seol originally came from JJ Entertainment.

I also know that Tailrose was a debut group but was dropped for some reason.

Even though it was a bad memory for Yoo Seol….

Yoo Seol chose this song as if he was going to tackle it head on.

-When I see you, my body trembles baby

-I don’t know why I keep doing this~

And so the stage begins.

Yoo Seol began singing the debut song of the seven-member group Tailrose perfectly, all by herself, and live.

-The face smiles brightly

-Arms are straight and proud

“Wow, waaa-!”

“Yu Seol-!!”

At first, fans who were watching the stage with slightly worried eyes soon cheered at the stage that had a quality that was no less than the original song.

In front of so many fans, Yoo Seol perfectly imprinted who she is and what her skills are.

“As expected, you’re amazing.”

Han Si-woo, who was watching Yoo Seol’s performance right below the stage, was filled with admiration.

What are the advantages of Yu Seol?

Sweet singing? Outstanding performance? Delicate emotional acting and detail?

Not all of them.

Yu Seol’s greatest strength is that he is smart.

Now that the Rookies have finished their term and are going their separate ways… each member has to decide on their next move, whether they like it or not.

Yoo Seol proved her worth once again by successfully performing a song by a seven-member group on her own.

‘It’s scary how rational you are.’

As expected, Han Si-woo is better than the second highest rated member at the time.

And the stage of the member that Han Si-woo rated the highest was next.

Hayerin.

If Yoo Seol is a very smart and rational character… .

“Hehe, Miss Yerin still doesn’t know… .”

Han Si-woo still hasn’t fully figured out Ha Ye-rin’s character.

Sometimes I feel like a child… and sometimes I feel like an adult…

‘Is this song selection also intentional?’

If this was intended… it was frighteningly detailed.

Just the fact that Ha Ye-rin chose this song made Han Si-woo’s heart flutter.

“Oh, it’s up.”

While Han Si-woo was thinking like that, Ha Ye-rin came up on stage.

And as soon as Ha Ye-rin came up on stage, she discovered Han Si-woo… .

Wink.

“… … .”

I gave him a little wink with a playful smile.

“… If you do that unconsciously, then you’re really sad.”

Han Si-woo felt his heart pounding like crazy and recalled what Soo-ah had said to him before.

‘Honey, do you have someone you like?’

I said no at the time… but it seems like it’s true.

Of course, it is closer to philia love than erotic love… .

Han Si-woo realized that he was completely captivated by Ha Ye-rin.

“… Damn. I can’t even go and say anything because I’m going to hear this thief and pervert talking.”

And so, Ha Ye-rin’s personal cover stage began with Han Si-woo’s bitter monologue.
