The drumsticks feel heavy in her sweaty hands as she waits at the bottom of the stage for their turn. Yuzu inhales and exhales slowly, trying to calm her irrational fear of her dropping her sticks or her sweaty hands making her lose a grip and poke someone’s eye out in the audience. They’ve been practicing for months now and while they’re far from being one solid unit, they are a band and they are good!
She looks across the others and continues to hop from one leg to the other as she whines, hoping to bring some air to her nervousness as well as make the others laugh a little. If she can’t ease her own nerves she wants to at least help the rest of them. That’s part of her role as the mood maker. She can read all of them well but never tress passes them into calling out any of their worries. Yuzu loves her band members and she’s glad they’ve grown together. As a smile widens across her lips she slips on her gloves and huffs out a final calming breath. They got this.
And indeed all worries seem forgotten however once she’s up on stage. The view from the back is nice, even if a little obstructed but Yuzu likes it either way. She does some final adjustments to the drumset and her own microphone while the others set up their own instruments for the performance.
The drummer can’t wait. Finally a chance to perform in front of a larger live audience to show them what they got. Two songs are on their set list: a cover of playing with fire and blood; both korean songs that compliment their style well. This is their moment.
Yuzu takes a glance around to receive an approving nod from all her band members before she raises her drumsticks high into the air.

sometimes, even when you rehearse for months on end, the reality of what you’re doing doesn’t sink in until you’re on the stage, looking out into the sea of eyes that looks back at you.
( 6tunes. kim hyojin of 6tunes. jinhyo of 6tunes. it’s still unfamiliar, still a foreign roof over his head that gives him the urge to continue proving himself, to show that he deserved a spot here as much as everyone else did. before, he was just himself, and now, he was part of a family. a family he deserved to be in. )
all of these thoughts, all of these worries, all of these feelings are swarming and crashing like waves, bubbling at the mouth of the shore as they recede before snapping out once more. and for the first time in what was a little more than a month, hyojin finds himself under the scrutiny of the public eye once again.
it’s a typical band setup -- all of them arranged in a semi-circle, with hyojin in the front and changyoon flanking him on the right. it’s comforting, having them all there with him; there are butterflies flitting around in his stomach, but he knows that the other members got him if anything went wrong. it’s when the staff member offstage makes a gesture at him that he finally grabs the microphone in front of him, moving his lips close enough to start their introduction.
“hello everyone, i’m jinhyo of 6tunes.” with a sweet curl of his eyes, he watches as the audience cheers, albeit not as loudly as they had been when the idols before them had been performing. no big deal -- 6tunes was relatively new, anyways, so such a positive reaction was already a good sign. “today is our first stage, so i hope you listen closely and enjoy.”
with that, the band starts, arrow starting on his keyboard for the first few rifts, grabbing the attention, before yuzu starts with her drums, the rest of the instrumentals following. strumming chords on his guitar -- the electric one he had borrowed from wonpil -- hyojin bobs his head to the beat as he begins to sing the first few lines.
bold = hyojin’s lines
우리 엄만 매일 내게 말했어
언제나 남자 조심하라고
사랑은 마치 불장난 같아서
다치니까 eh
the execution was something he was familiar with; like hwasa’s twit, this style of music was one he had recently added to his repetoire of stage expressions -- with a slight quirk of his brow, he sings with a bit of attitude, winking at the end of his part when sophie picks up afterwards.
멈출 수 없는 이 떨림은
on and on and on
내 전부를 너란 세상에
다 던지고 싶어
continuing, letting his smooth voice carry the beat along, there’s a slight growl to his voice as he sings “on and on and on,” adding more flavor to the execution. moving away from the mic to keep his strumming as yuzu then sings, hyojin fully embraces the confident, almost sexy mood of the song, taking on a half smirk that greatly contrasted his sweet, honey-like appearance when he had introduced the group.
우리 사랑은 불장난
my love is on fire
now burn baby burn
불장난
my love is on fire
so don’t play with me boy
불장난
pausing for a moment to sing the killing part of the chorus, the first line, hyojin’s eyes curl in a smile as the audience’s cheers pick up for the beat drop, letting the other members take over.
at the end of the chorus, they transition into the rap break with a few harmonizations, before going into the second chorus. as they near the end by reaching the bridge, hyojin and yuzu the only ones left singing.
걷잡을 수가 없는 걸
너무나 빨리 퍼져 가는 이 불길
이런 날 멈추지 마
이 사랑이 오늘 [jh/yz] 밤을 태워버리게 woo
continuing yuzu’s part skillfully, hyojin’s voice smoothly goes into a high note, yuzu harmonizing with him, allowing a pause in the instrumental to let it sink in. as the crowd claps once the note ends, they go into the final chorus, tying up the song.
once their first song ended, they quickly moved into their second song -- a day6 b-side that was a favorite of hyojin’s, known as blood. this time, yuzu starts with the drums, before the guitars and bass kick in.
once again, hyojin starts the song, this time with a different mood. although both of the songs they performed were similar in that they talked about the passionate push and pull of attraction and love, blood was a little more reserved in its fierceness, a little more suave. as the lyrics imply, they’re more about enjoying the love and hate feeling that a couple’s fights entail. with this in mind, he keeps his tone even and his gaze a little darker, more sultry, as he sings.
너랑 같이 있을 땐
말 한 마디마다
조심해봐도
혹시라도 한 마디
걸리면 바로
올라가 니 목소리
pausing his playing in guitar to place both hands on the microphone, his eyes narrow ever so slightly as he looks into the crowd, tilting his head slightly as he sings the lyrics a little teasingly. the softness with which he sings the notes would provide a larger contrast in the chorus, where the higher notes come in.
as sophie picks up after him, he resumes playing, picking up the notes as she builds up the hype for the chorus.
oh you gotta see blood girl
you gotta see blood girl
피를 봐야만 만족하는 너
oh you gotta see blood girl
you gotta see blood girl
다 죽어가면서도 i like this
starting off the chorus with almost effortless-sounding high notes, hyojin applies just the right amount of power to make it sound clean but not straining, making for a more alluring feel. as if addressing the audience, his gaze is fierce but teasing.
with that, they cycle into the second verse, then the chorus, then the rap break, and then the final chorus.
baby you got to see blood
you got to see blood
got to see blood
finishing the song and their performance with his last few lines, hyojin sings the high note smoothly and drags it out sweetly, the sly look on his face never faltering until the end.
as they bow, the audience cheers, this time a lot louder, and hyojin slips back into his normal self, smiling sheepishly and bowing once again shyly.
reaching for the microphone, he says a final goodbye. “thank you for listening, everyone -- we hope to see you again soon!”
turning back to his band members, he calls out a bright “good work, everyone,” making sure that all of them get offstage safely before he follows, turning to the crowd again and waving with a bright smile.

|| ✧ –––– it’s been a long time coming, but they’re finally here. sophie can’t keep the smile off her face as they wait by the stage, bouncing on her toes and toying with the picks in her hand. she’s never been nervous about performing, being on stage as natural to her as breathing, the spotlight a warm presence, but she is excited. being part of a band has always been one of her dreams, performing in front of thousands of people and sharing unique moments with their fans. granted, they’re not quite as big yet, and their fans are few and far in between, but sophie is just as excited anyway.
she looks around at the rest of the members, giving them encouraging smiles and nods. it’s their first official performance as a group, and they’re all nervous and excited for it, but sophie is sure it’s going to be great. they’ve rehearsed enough that they sound good, and even if they don’t or the audience doesn’t like them for whatever reason, at least they’ll have fun. which really, it’s all sophie cares about. as long as she’s enjoying herself and doing what she actually wants to do, what does it matter what anyone else thinks?
as soon as they go on stage, sophie’s smile turns into a smirk, her inherent cheekiness coming out. she plugs her bass and makes sure it’s tuned correctly before they start, pushing her hair out of her face one last time before the music plays. throughout the performance, adrenaline rushes through sophie’s veins, as she performs and sings, cheeky smiles and impish smirks playing on her face. the first song they’re performing, a cover of a girl group song, isn’t exactly sophie’s cup of tea, although she’ll say that the adaptation they’ve created works well and actually is something she’d listen to of her own volition, but sophie enjoys performing it nonetheless. the second song, though, that’s straight up sophie’s alley. it’s the style of music that takes over 90% of her collection and the one she always imagines herself performing in front of massive crowds. and even though there’s only a few people watching them perform, sophie plays like she’s in a big stadium, enjoying herself and letting the music and the adrenaline carry her through the performance.
once their set is through and adrenaline drains from her body, a wide smile takes over sophie’s face again, grin so big her cheeks hurt, but she doesn’t care. this is what she was meant to do.
6tunes are a 6 member band comprised of a group of friends (and 2 siblings) who share a love of making music and performing. Posting both original songs and covers, 6tunes are quickly making a name for themselves. Each member brings their own uniqueness to the band that combined creates amazing music.
Lee Changyoon still felt guilty for accepting the contract with Sphere and leaving 6tunes (except for covers). No matter how many times the band told him not to feel guilty, he would probably always feel it. Only the siblings got signed, so at least he wasn’t the only one to leave.
The keyboardist had been reading the fliers when he looked up to spot his bandmate. Smirking, Changyoon made a beeline for their bass guitarist. ❝ Sophie, my lovely Sophie. ❞ He handed her a flier. ❝ Do oppa a favour and take one? Have you seen Yennie yet? I think she’s around here somewhere? ❞
You receive a call in the middle of the afternoon and the voice on the other end should be one you already know by now. “Good afternoon, Lee Changyoon.” It’s the same man who scouted you in Zombie Night and followed you through your audition. “I speak in the name of SPHERE, and, after long consideration, we decided to offer you a contract under our company.” He makes a short pause to make sure you’re still paying attention before proceeding. “If you’re interested please stop by the SPHERE building in Itaewon until the 25th to officially sign as a trainee. I hope to hear again from you soon.”
Changyoon was on break at school when he suddenly felt the vibration of his phone. Curious to see who was calling him, he reached into his pocket and pulled out his phone. It was a number he didn’t recognise. Normally, he didn’t answer unknown numbers, but something was telling him to answer this call, and so he did.
Immediately, he knew who the voice was. It was the same guy from the Zombie event who had offered him the Sphere audition. Fully expecting to be rejected, Changyoon was half-listening to the guy, waiting for the word ‘rejected’ to pop up. Much to his surprise, something else was said.
We’d like to offer you a contract.
❝ Sorry, come again? ❞ was the first thing that escaped his lips. They wanted him in Sphere? Him? Did they not know him?
❝ Are you sure you have the right person? Um, thank you. ❞ He couldn’t say anything else. He didn’t know what else he could say. This was a big decision and one he shouldn’t take lightly. He needed to discuss with 6tunes first. He wondered if Yena got in. He made a note to text her after.
Looks like he might need to visit Itaewon soon.
