Chapter 70 Family Concert
Early in the morning, iye was dozing in its cat bed, occasionally smacking its lips. Someone's annoying behavior made it turn its head away in its sleep. Finally, it half-opened its eyes, shook its head, and yawned.
Kwon Ji-yong realized that his early morning petting of the cat was not well received by the cat, so he reluctantly put his hand down. After seeing Iye close her eyes again as she wished, he quickly patted Iye's head again.
This is so annoying, meow!
iye tapped its tail lightly, then shifted its body, leaving him with only its rear end.
After finishing his daytime parent-child interaction, Kwon Ji-yong randomly rummaged through the refrigerator for some food, munching on a rice ball while checking his phone for messages.
Han Yunxing and Han Daoen had already left for work by this time, and the only one facing off against Kwon Ji-yong was Lee Joo-hyuk, who was staying at home today.
Why can't you just keep the video on your phone?!
This is Lee Joo-hyuk waking up to find a karaoke clip posted on Instagram by someone, and then belatedly realizing how ashamed he felt.
Kwon Ji-yong covered his mouth and laughed. The person on the other end was online the whole time, and as soon as the message was marked as read, he immediately sent another message.
[Honey, can you go back to filming? I'll promote it properly for you next time...]
Kwon Ji-yong raised an eyebrow: [No.]
[...]
Kwon Ji-yong hugged IYTE, who suddenly leaned in, and continued replying: 【Are you busy this afternoon?】
No time ^_^
[I'll treat you to the concert :)]
After making an appointment with Lee Joo-hyuk, Kwon Ji-yong put down his phone and went to the dressing room to pick out clothes. Iye followed closely behind him, her tail held high.

After being released by Cody, Han Yunxing wandered around several waiting rooms nearby.
Just as btob was starting to sing, there was a knock at the door. After a response, a pink head with a bun hairstyle peeked out.
"Hello, seniors!" Han Yunxing bowed in greeting.
BTOB had no idea what this girl was up to, but the group of them bowed and greeted her in perfect unison, "Hello, Yunxing-xi!"
However, after getting up, Lu Xingcai looked terrified and bluntly asked, "Wei? Did you take the wrong medicine today?"
Han Yunxing gave him a barely perceptible glare, then her eyes curved into crescents, revealing her signature dimples: "It was the section chief's idea."
She then turned to the PD next to her: "PD-nim, can we use the beginning part?"
Surrounded by the gazes of Han Yunxing and BTOB, the cameramen nodded up and down.
This morning, the section chief approached Han Yunxing, Gidle, and Pentagon, three junior artists from the company, to film behind-the-scenes footage for the company's long-awaited family concert. The goal was to showcase the harmonious and loving family dynamic within Cube Entertainment. Importantly, he also wanted to film footage of these well-behaved and beautiful newcomers.
Han Yunxing thought that the relationships between the company's artists were already quite good, so wouldn't it be awkward to get along with the section chief's idea? But since it was a given assignment, Han Yunxing had no choice but to follow it.
After listening to Han Yunxing's explanation, the BTOB members stared at the camera in the PD's hand and shook their heads in unison.
Filming this greeting scene is worse than not filming it at all.
"I thought it was a hidden camera." Lee Changsub circled the PD, and after the PD got the shot he wanted, he got playful and held the camera up to Lee Changsub's face, turning it around with him.
Now things have gotten really bad, the human-to-human transmission has started, and the other members, as well as Han Yunxing who came to visit the set, have all taken turns coming around again.
The producer was starting to feel dizzy, and quickly called a halt with a smile: "We have enough material."
After the camera crew left, Han Yunxing took out a few candies from her small handbag and held out her palm to the members of BTOB.
"It can replenish energy." This is a brand that Han Yunxing really likes.
Yook Sung-jae casually unwrapped a piece of candy and popped it into his mouth, saying indistinctly, "Thank you, Yoon-sung. I'll treat you to candy next time."
Han Yoon-sung patted her small crossbody bag and smiled, "It was a gift from Bo-mi unnie, but Sung-jae oppa, when is the next time?"
"Let's have a family concert next time, lol," Yook Sung-jae said with a forced smile.
The others watched as the two maknaes bantered, and when they cleared their throats, the maknaes thoughtfully handed them water.
"Yunxing-xi, we need to go backstage to prepare." Han Yunxing's collaboration stage was scheduled for the first few seats after the start of the show, and fans were already checking in and entering the venue.
"I'm off, fighting!" Today, in addition to her own songs, Han Yunxing also has a collaboration stage, which is a cover of btob's "Missing You" with the members of gidle.
A family concert is still a concert. This time, the Cube concert is said to be able to accommodate 10,000 people. Han Yunxing has been excited since morning. Now, he is holding Yunqi's hand on the side of the stage and secretly looking into the audience.
"Daiba! Unnie! I see so many stars!"
"I saw the baby boobs in the front row!"
The two girls' quiet exclamations, their heads huddled together, were captured by a nearby camera. The other girls, hearing their words, couldn't help but look out.
When the host introduced Han Yunxing and Gidle, seven pairs of bright eyes appeared on the big screen.
When they saw the camera panning to them, the group waved happily, drawing cheers from the fans below the stage.
When Lin Yang saw Han Yunxing's face on the big screen, her breath caught in her throat, and she screamed. However, the two people to her left didn't scream. Lin Yang paused, then glanced apologetically at the people next to her. They were one seat away from her, and the person closest to her was wearing a graffiti-painted fisherman's hat and was holding up his phone to take pictures, occasionally whispering a few words to the man in black next to him.
Lin Yang lowered her voice, but when Han Yunxing waved, she completely let loose and shouted, "Yunxing! I love you!!"
She felt incredibly lucky to be a fan; it was her first time chasing a celebrity and her first time attending a family concert, and she managed to get such a great seat with such a good view.
Perhaps she was shouting too loudly, because the person on the left looked at their banner several times. Lin Yang didn't pay much attention, as all her attention was on Han Yunxing's bright smile on the big screen. Even after the camera panned away, she was still savoring the moment.
After introducing the artists performing today, Han Yoon-sung and Gidle's collaboration stage began.
The lyrical pieces were entirely within Han Yunxing's territory.
The intro and opening verse of "Missing You" were given to Han Yoon-sung, and her first words were a vivid, fleeting longing, like drifting catkins.
The person on the screen, with furrowed brows and downcast eyes, slowly spoke: "My life is plete. It's missing you."
Lin Yang, sitting in the audience, desperately wanted to fly up and hug Han Yunxing to comfort her and prevent her from feeling down, but all he could say was, "Ahhh, me too!"
The person on the left seemed to be chuckling and repeating "me too" to his companion, which made Lin Yang shout even louder: she was the one who got the love number first.
"The day passed as usual."
It's not awkward to be alone.
"This is how I live, even though I can't have you."
It was a girl's warm and clear voice.
But has he truly let go? Perhaps there's still some lingering attachment.
"Actually, there might still be some emptiness here."
My unchanging heart still longs for you.
Years have passed and I still miss you.
With a light and upbeat rhythm, Jeon So-yeon's rap follows.
So I'm still reluctant to let go; I miss it every moment.
The girls paced on the stage, tracing the light scattered in the air with their fingertips.
"Thinking about it, and the day is over."
This is how I live.
I miss you so much
It's okay to nag.
Han Yunxing and Minnie's exquisite harmonies brought the atmosphere to its peak, their ethereal and clear voices blending together to express the overwhelming emotions of reluctance.
I miss you, I really miss you.
Yun Qi's slightly husky voice revealed a touch of tenderness, making the whole song more layered.
"Like messy hair when you wake up"
My life is terrible..."
As soon as Han Yunxing started rapping, the cheers from the fans in the audience exploded like a pot boiling over.
The person on stage casually reached out and ruffled his hair, the last syllable sounding like a sigh or a joke.
Your traces have seeped into everything I am.
You are responsible.
Han Yunxing's flow was a treat for the audience, and a chorus of shouts of "Take responsibility!" came from the back row at the top of the hill, and the front row joined in the jeering.
After Zhao Meiyan's chorus, everyone's harmonies extended the longing to the end.
As the song ended, the seven people slowly stretched out their hands into the distance.
"Aaaaaahh ...
The camera cuts to the artists' seats, where Peniel and Yook Sung are wiping away non-existent tears from each other's eyes. At the end, Han Yoon Sung accidentally glances at the two of them, purses her lips, and her mouth trembles slightly. However, the other members of BTOB are all sitting upright and looking serious. As expected, Han Yoon Sung, who has a low threshold for laughter, couldn't help but lower her head and laugh.
The white roses that were just moments ago on the big screen were covered in dew, but now, with the spring breeze blowing, it's like a shower of cherry blossoms, and sunlight is dancing among the falling petals.
"Wow—amazing! Lyra is amazing!" Lin Yang heard the girl next to him exclaiming to her friend, and immediately his social butterfly personality kicked in.
"Yes!!! Today's makeup and styling are so pure! Are you guys stars too?" Lin Yang stammered in broken Korean, while handing over the support items he had prepared to exchange with his fellow fans; there were just a few left.
It consists of a chibi-style woven pendant of Han Yunxing and two banners.
Lin Yang said that learning a craft from your idol is definitely the right thing to do. After seeing Han Yunxing share her handmade works on social media, she started learning and her progress has been quite good.
The two female fans next to her were Cube Entertainment fans. After Lin Yang gave them small gifts, they happily pulled out Han Yunxing's related support items and stuffed them into their hands.
After thanking him, Lin Yang turned around and happily put the small gift back into his bag. Then, he glanced at the person on his left with a slight hesitation. Noticing the person's gaze focused on his hand, Lin Yang tentatively held up the remaining pendant. Sure enough, the person's gaze became even more intense.
Looks like she's a fan of Yunxing.
To be honest, she was startled. This person was not only wearing a hat but also a mask. The lights in the club were dim, and her star wand illuminated only a small area in front of her. Lin Yang could only see a pair of glowing eyes.
"Maybe it's Star?" After Lin Yang handed him a small gift, the person seemed a little shy. He put his hands together to thank him, then started rummaging through his pockets and whispered something to the person next to him. Lin Yang didn't hear what he was saying, but he saw the person carefully touch the knitted pendant and then put it into his bag.
Seeing that he seemed to be still looking for something, Lin Yang raised his voice: "No need to exchange, it's a gift for you—"
Kwon Ji-yong was surprised to see fans exchanging gifts today. While feeling curious, he was also wondering what to give back.
"Thank you." Kwon Ji-yong searched around and found only a few candies he had put in his bag before leaving. He handed them to Lin Yang, and the atmosphere became lively. It was a very brief interactive segment.
"Stars, are you having fun?!" Jeon So-yeon turned on his microphone and addressed the audience.
"Inside--"
"Hey, you little blue-clad girls, are you having fun?!" Han Yunxing's eyes crinkled with laughter after hearing the cheers.
While the other members were speaking, Han Yoon-sung was pulled to the front row by Jeon So-yeon to take a photo with fans who were waving their phones. After the speeches were over, the scattered members regrouped in the center of the stage.
Have a wonderful day, everyone! That's all for missing you.
After stepping off the stage, the group went to the waiting room to change into their costumes for the upcoming performance, and then sat down in the artists' section below the stage.
The current performance is BTOB's cover of Apink's "Five," a refreshing and lively summer song, and all of them are dressed in pink.
However, when it comes to performing, BT is serious.
It's funny, BT is serious too.
"Close your eyes and stand quietly, counting 12345"
The person on stage waved their arms vigorously to the rhythm of the drums, stretching their five fingers upwards.
It's a super-enhanced version of Five; people who don't know might think they're swatting mosquitoes.
Whether the guys really enjoyed the dance to the audience is unknown, but Apink in the audience was definitely laughing their heads off.
The fans below laughed and shouted, "btopink!"
Finally, following the lyrics "Come on, come on, come on," the members of BTOB gently extended their hands and eagerly winked at Apink in the audience.
However, all those flirtatious glances were directed at thin air. Park Cho-tak is a prime example; as soon as she saw someone wink on stage, she covered her eyes with her hands and silently leaned her head towards Jung Eun-ti, trying to hide her smile.
The audience, watching these interactions on the big screen, were still reeling from the flirtatious glances when they burst into laughter again.
However, despite their diverse styles, the artists at Cube Entertainment have a remarkably harmonious relationship.
After being a loyal audience member for a while, it was Han Yoon-sung's turn to take the stage. After "Rainbow" and "Kaleidoscope," she sang her last solo song of the day, "Shinning." As Han Yoon-sung's first self-composed song included in an album, and also a clear fan song, it holds great significance for Han Yoon-sung and her fans. Fans have always regarded it as the national anthem of the Star Kingdom.
Han Yunxing took a few steps towards the audience, smiling, as she searched for the lights: "Shall we sing together next?"
Lin Yang held his support stick tightly on the second floor. The lights of the stars twinkled and shone, forming a sea of stars in the stadium.
Please shine on me.
"..."
"Thank you for shining with me."
