//★ MGA3 Letter of gratitude

KT TEAM // coach taeyeon ! #3009 Kwon Yuri ; #3010 kim jongin ;  #3017 kim jiyeon ; #3026 kim seokjin ;  #3012 kang heegun !

Writing a letter to the audience and the CEOs just using 150 words was a hard and surprising last mission for the grand finale, he actually welcomed with open arms since he had the feeling he had insomnia the last few weeks practicing and working everyday. Since Gary was a songwriter and a rapper who used to freestyle in his underground past often, he didn’t had that much trouble to find the right words. He knew how to play with words, creating a flow that kept the audience listening and that experience he used to support his team one last time. 

Inspiration was something he wanted to express with the words they carefully carried together, each of them put their hearts into this short, yet powerful letter, speaking from the bottom of their souls. They definitely were grateful for all this time, for the experiences, for the teammates that have grown close to each of them, for the music they were able to do together. He had fun, when he talked to them about what to add, it was a task that gave the whole competition a beautiful finishing touch. 

Hearing the words they chosen together coming out from coach Taeyeon’s mouth with her beautiful voice, made him shivering. His whole body shoke as he heard her reading out more, underlining single expressions gently, yet strong, looking like a leader had to look. While she stood up there, reading line for line, Gary moved his lips, speaking out the words himself without making any sound. In front of his inner eye the whole audition process replayed once more:

He remembered him rapping an own song, giving an interview, showing off his Taekwondo skills, dancing his heart out and telling a handcamera about his past and how he came to rap. He remembered the excitement, when they called him one more time to perform, so that the judges could decide which team he would be on. The interview for the Day of Family made him thinking about his parents and wanting to visit them. When he stood on stage together with his team for the first time, it was intoxicating. A great harmony between the members were a given for good teamwork, and they definitely had both. Even when they had to decide on a Korean song that debuted before 2010, a ballad song and last but not least a debut song. Gary remembered to be chosen as an MVP, he still felt uncomfortable about that kind of position. 

With every memory that returned to him, that few weeks seemed much longer to him. Together with his team mates he had overcome so many obstacles, always standing steadfast, defending the team against every storm and now they were finally here. And as the letter reading of Taeyeon ended, Gary turned around to the others and hugged each of them.Whatever the result would be, they could be proud of themselves for coming this far.

// ( ★ ) MGAS SEASON 3: Episode 6

Craftmanship/Special Event

They were finally to relax a little, after these past exhausting days. Though Gary enjoyed to be on stage, and he believed everyone else in his team did the same, it was a relief to not having to practice a song and a performance within just 3 days. That was the reason why every one of them was quite grateful to had the possiblity open to choose to hand out flyers instead of doing a little street performance to attract people. Of course, they wanted to give out flyers, what would be more fun to interact with people who might be their fans? 

Althought Heegun knew he couldn’t participate in that event, since he had to a different schedule due to the mvp performance, he didn’t want to fail his team, so he quietly sat down next to the others, listened to their suggestions. The ideas went up and down, back and forward, but they decided pretty quickly how to design their flyers. A cool background, their names, a few informations about the MGAs to gather more viewers and the teamname. Gary was quite satisfied, especially when thinking about the less time they would have in that kind of team formation. It saddened him to see the others grow with every single day, they spent together, influence each other positively, with the knowledge they would get separated really soon and had to go their own paths from then on. 

At some kind of point, somebody asked to give out candies beside the flyers, so they would gain more attention. Honestly Heegun didn’t know who actually had suggested that idea, but it didn’t matter at all. He wanted to just listen to them, enjoy their teamwork a little longer. They agreed pretty well in things like that, and the past performances, they had planned quickly without any disagreement between the teammates. Since they didn’t know if they would get support from KT, they decided to buy the candies themselves. The male didn’t mind at all, and after deciding what candies to buy, he told them to get into his car to go shopping as soon as possible. They had a sweet promotion to run.

Random Mr. Capable? Solo

       somehow he had expected that kind of result, it still hit him hard and kinda made him annoyed when thinking about the last three days that had utterly destroyed his team and himself. so much hard work they had put into that very performance and now they were safe without getting an proper feedback. it wasn’t like he felt relieved for having passed with every teammate still being part of that team, and he knew that today’s performance would get added into the next one’s, but the male still felt like being made fun of. while looking around, he saw that almost every contestant felt that way, annoyance and even anger was reflected in their eyes. 

       he sighed, the tension that rose everytime they stood their, staring at the display and waiting for their teamname to appear, had subside, but rose again when hearing the message of the next episode to be the last one in that team line-up. were they serious? now that they had worked these past days together, had grown closer? now they had to separate them and make them going their own path again? closing his eyes, he thought that it couldn’t get any worse. 

       but karma was a b*tch. the mc’s still got a lot to tell, squealing about some mvps, that were choosen by the coaches who had to think of the most valuable member in their team. how should they even be able to choose, when they just worked a little time together? did mnet wanted the team to shatter into pieces upon hearing who their coach might prefer? suddenly his name got called out, he was surprised, looking at taeyeon. his mind fell into some state of confusion and strange chaos. somehow he felt honoured to be called a mvp, from time to time people would even call him random mr.capable, as if he was some kind of captain or hero, if he wanted to do so. but still: was that even right to be called an mvp? he didn’t felt like he had earned himself that kind of name, it wasn’t like he did more than his teammates. 

heavy steps lead him to the mc’s as he sees a strangely familiar green head in between the other contestants. even though his head was a mess, he still decided to smile lightly, as if greeting jiyoon, jieun’s friend friendly. gary was thinking about the next stage they had to come up with, and when jiyoon also was being called the mvp of her team. he didn’t even recognized any name anymore. the male was just slightly about the fact to perform together with taeyeon, it seemed like she was satiesfied with his work, but why didn’t she named jongin, seokjin or jiyeon to perform with her? the eldest contestant felt a heavy burden, sometimes he could be competitive and yet he lived for equality, for same chances for everyone and that was what confused him the most.
