Zegen Entertainment band practice room
Nothing out of the ordinary from this place, to be perfectly candid. Soundproof walls, instruments and just enough space for the 100B members to sit down and relax. There were only 4 people at the beginning. Hansol and Joel had been tackling with the internet issue, while Jinwoo just walked in recently after helping Jooyoung with his wheelchair.
“How is it?” Jinwoo asked, later stopping the wheelchair near where the group is sitting.
“I mean we only have a few minutes before Taewon comes,” Joel replied, later looking at his new leader, “Unless you can give us your phone for phone tether-”
The band practice room door was slammed open, revealing a 17 years old boy in a school shirt, his eyes has a lot of … sparks? You could say this boy do has sparks in his eyes because he had been holding himself back from screaming. His heartbeat was running fast and sweat covered his face, but all that don’t matter when you have a music video of your band released soon.
“Oh look, giant baby is back! And, sweating…” Joel’s thought faded away as soon as he sees their youngest’s condition ; panting heavily while sweat covered his school shirt, “I’ll get the water and towel.”
“Thank you, hyung!” Taewon smiled at Joel’s offering, before returning to the big question, “Is it out?”
Sadly, it has but they do not have the internet to watch. Zegen Entertainment’s practice rooms are … no. The entire Zegen Entertainment never had a good wifi coverage. The CEO had been tackling with this issue since the second idol of Zegen debuted, but it kept on giving bad wifi coverage. They gave up to fix this issue eventually.
“We don’t know yet, love. It’s supposed to drop now but we had been having issues with the connection.” Jooyoung explained briefly. It sucks to have a really bad connection to the internet but there’s that.
“Hyung,” Hansol, who had been tackling with the connection issue, turned to Jinwoo with a sly smile on his face, “we need your-”
“Phone tethering. I know.” Jinwoo had it coming. 100B’s very own walking 'boomer’, and a walking portable wifi. What’s next? 100B’s very own star chef? Maybe.
“Wait but how do you do tethering again?”
“Give it to me, boomer!” Joel snatched Jinwoo’s phone and later handed the towel and a cold bottled water to Taewon. He activated the tethering from Jinwoo’s phone and handed it back to the leader.
“Why, thank you, clown.”
“Anytime, boomer.”
“Guys, shut the fuck up!” Hansol raised his hand to silence the rest of the group, but unfortunately it created more chaos instead of silence because of what he had said. Jooyoung even immediately went to cover Taewon’s ears.
“Huh?” God, even the youngest didn’t know what was going on.
“Nothing,” Hansol quickly said so in order to make Taewon forget about what he had said, “It’s out now!”
“MOVE!” Taewon was so excited, even went far until forcing Hansol to move away from the laptop so that he could be at the middle, watching the music video. First second, then 3, 7, 10, 15 … then Taewon realised something. He immediately hit the pause button after he realised his mistake.
“Hyung! I’m so sorry! I got too excited for this. Okay I’ll scooch.”
“No! That’s okay,” even the youngest’s action made Jooyoung let out a chuckle, “just enjoy the music video first. You’re so excited for it anyway. We can watch it later. Say it as an afterschool treat.”
Hearing this, Taewon even got more excited and took the laptop to his lap. He played the music video and enjoyed the music video for himself. As for the rest? Hansol and Joel went out to grab some lunch. They had been complaining about how hungry they were anyway. Jinwoo, Taewon and Jooyoung were the ones to remain inside the room. Jooyoung took his phone amd started to play with it and Jinwoo went to the locker to take his water bottle.
“Okay but this is really cute!”
“Joel hyung You look so natural in acting.”
“Ooh! I like this part!”
“I really love the vocals here. It really made me have the goosebumps!”
Jooyoung was nearby Taewon and he heard every single word that the youngest had to say regarding the music video. Jooyoung placed his phone away and looked at Taewon. The boy couldn’t stop smiling regarding the music video, so does Jooyoung. It is quite creepy but at this context, probably not.
It’s just that … Taewon reminded him so much of Chan.
7th November 2018
“Come on come on come on! Work you dumb piece of shit!”
“Chanhee! Calm down! It’s fine if we are not the first watcher.”
“Full disclosure, I am your boyfriend and I want to be the first to watch!”
“Yeah but, at least calm down. You know how shitty Zegen’s wifi is.”
“Yeah but, come on! It’s your first solo music video!”
Jooyoung couldn’t stop laughing at him. It has always been like this. A music video release and Chan would be really excited for it. In this case, it is Jooyoung’s Zegen station. He had been writing a song and he gained his own Music video for it.
“Phone tethering won’t work?” Jooyoung asked.
“My mobile data is running out and I haven’t got the time to buy phone credit to get it. Gonna save it until we are home.”
“Sucks.” Jooyoung remarked slightly, before hearing his boyfriend’s shriek in joy.
“IT’S PLAYING!”
The tablet that Chan brought started to play Jooyoung’s Zegen Station music video. A catchy beat started to blast from the tablet, as Chan slowly placed his head on Jooyoung’s shoulder. Of course, Jooyoung returned the gesture by smiling and caressed Chan’s hair.
“Holy shit, you’re so amazing at this.”
“Okay, handsome. I like your face too.”
“Hey, did you choose the casts by yourself or did Zegen chose it for you?” Chan asked.
“A bit of both. I said to Zegen that I might need some people for the music video, but I want them to have this diversity. So Zegen did the casting and those lovely people were in.”
“Niceeee!”
December 15 2019
Taewon slowly closed the laptop halfway and placed it on the floor. He slowly stood up from his seat and looked up to Jooyoung, eyes teary.
“Taewon, are you alright?”
“HYUNG! THIS IS SO SAD!”
Hearing Taewon’s confession and then even the way he describes the music video, Jooyoung couldn’t even hide his smile regarding how adorable Taewon is. He kept on listening to his rants, even until Jinwoo, Joel and Hansol returned.
“What’s going on?”
“Nothing at all. Taewon’s just bei-”
“DEAR OLDER MEMBERS! YOU REALLY HAVE TO CRY OVER THIS MUSIC VIDEO!”
Taewon placed the laptop on Jooyoung’s lap and let everyone watched the music video together. Jooyoung took a quick look at the youngest, before returning to the music video that they were about to watch.
God. Taewon really reminds him of Chan.
