Chapter 214:
A ghost-like guy.
Thats it for today!
Happy Chuseok! Bye!
The mbers, dressed in hanbok, waved their hands towards the cara. Kim Myung-jin, who was recording, gave a thumbs up.
Good. It ca out well. Lets change clothes.
Whats next?
A ssage of support for the college entrance exam. Then Christmas. And then New Years greetings.
Thats a lot
The mbers had their schedules packed until the end of next year. So they decided to shoot various ssages of support in advance whenever they had so spare ti.
As the mbers ca out after changing clothes, the hair and makeup artists attached to each mber changed their hairstyles quickly.
They tried their best not to make it obvious that they shot everything on the sa day.
Is there anyone among us who took the college entrance exam?
No way.
So of them had even dropped out of high school and took the GED instead.
Soone said that the college entrance exam is the first big test in life.
Isnt it a big event nationwide in Korea?
Yeah, even airplanes cant land during that ti and they just circle around.
And the stock market opens late too.
When did Choi Ian beco an economic expert?
Ian chuckled at Jo Tae-woongs remark. The mbers, who had pins in their hair, gathered together and watched other groups ssages of support for the college entrance exam.
What should we say for our ssage of support? If we just read the script, it sounds like were reading a textbook.
How about we sing a short part of our song?
Song? Which one?
The mbers eyes fixed on Park Jin-hyuk. Park Jin-hyuk smiled slyly.
You know, Its Okay.
Oh, thats a good one.
Its Okay was the title of a song composed by Ian and Kim Hyun, and written by Lee Joo-hyuk.
Which part should we sing?
Its okay. How about that part?
Guys. If youre ready, lets shoot now.
Kim Myung-jin shouted, looking at the backs of the AWY mbers.
The hair stylists quickly removed the pins from the mbers heads, and the mbers stood in front of the cara.
Two, three.
Who we are? AWY! Hello, we are AWY!
The mbers bowed their waists and shouted their slogan at Kim Myung-jins OK sign. Park Seo-dam, the unofficial MC of AWY, opened his mouth first.
Yes, the college entrance exam is right around the corner! Theres only one step left, right?
To all the students taking the exam in Korea! Youve worked hard so far!
The mbers cheered and clapped loudly.
It must be nerve-wracking, but its okay! Dont worry too much and fighting! You can do well!
Thats right. Youll get good results as much as youve tried! Even if you dont know the answer, we hope that every guess is correct! We, AWY, wish you the best of luck.
The mbers said a word each after reading the prepared script. Kim Myung-jin was about to stop the recording, but he paused his hand.
And dont forget to bring your computerized answer sheet and lunch box
Theyll give you the computerized answer sheet and sharp pencils at the test site, right? But just in case there might be so defective ones, make sure! To bring them!
Wow, Ian is so detailed.
And prepare sothing to wake you up during the English listening test
Ians words made Kim Hyun nod his head slightly, then he looked at him with doubtful eyes. It was like he was saying How do you know that?
Oh, right! And you cant have porridge or noodles for lunch. They digest too fast and youll get hungry later. Bring a lot of snacks too!
Kim Ju-young, a foodie, shouted, making Kim Hyun flinch.
Hey, who eats noodles with a lunch box?
Ah, hyung! Thats a taboo for exam takers!
Oops, youre right. Myung-jin hyung, can you edit this part
The other mbers burst into laughter. Kim Ju-young was probably the first one to talk about food in a cheering video for the college entrance exam.
Then, shall we sing that song for the last part?
At Lee Joo-hyuks signal, all the mbers opened their mouths.
Its okay. Youve worked hard.
Its only a mont of pain, youll do better.
Everyone, good luck on the exam! We are AWY! Bye!
The cheering video ended with them singing a verse of Its okay.

The title song voting for the week was over, and only the live stage was left.
The live broadcast of Our ti received applications for pre-audience through the fan cafe, and as expected, the application page crashed.
Should we switch to another app instead of using the fan cafe?
Seo Su-ryeon, who was watching the situation, closed the fan cafe window with a frown.
Like Iverse or Candyapp?
Yeah.
AWY had been using the cafe of a large portal site until now, but lately, there was a trend of moving to smartphone applications.
Iverse and Candyapp were community apps that ca out as applications, but they also served as fan communities, fan club managent, and various functions such as goods sales and live broadcasts.
They also had an automatic translation function, so they were popular platforms for many artists.
Well I think it would be better to make a new one than to use another app But we dont have ti.
Park Dong-soo tapped his desk.
If were going to do it, wouldnt it be better to do it before the kids go on tour?
I know soone from Iverse. Im sure theyll be happy if we join them.
Seo Su-ryeon picked up her phone.
****
The day of the live broadcast of Our ti ca. The mbers arrived early at the shop and started preparing for the broadcast.
I still cant believe Jin-hyuk hyung wrote a 7-minute song. How are we going to sing that at our concert?
Hey, its not even 7 minutes, its 7 minutes and 43 seconds.
Seo-dam, what did you do instead of stopping him?
Its fun.
Fortunately, they didnt have ti to make choreography, so they shortened the live stage to about a minute for each song.
The mbers murmured as they saw Park Seo-dam smiling the sa way as Park Jin-hyuk.
Did Seo-dam get brainwashed by him?
Its a reasonable suspicion.
Kim Hyun and Jo Tae-woong looked at Park Seo-dams back with doubtful eyes as he got his hair done.
But how do you think the voting results will be?
Thats
The mbers closed their mouths at the sa ti. They all knew that they had worked hard, so they couldnt easily guess who would get more votes.
In the silence, Ian, who was chewing on a banana, casually said.
I dont know about the voting results, but I know one thing.
What is it?
Theyll definitely say that we should do a triple title because we all wrote the songs so well.
So of them nodded their heads, agreeing that it was likely, and so of them were skeptical.
Co on, no way. Would they just change the winning prize like that?
No, they might. Theyll make a dramatic announcent that only one song will be the title, and then suddenly, bam! Three songs will co out at the sa ti.
Yeah, and its our teams prophet whos saying that.
According to Choi Ian
The mbers looked at Ian and clasped their hands in prayer. Ian spread his arms as if he was used to it.
***
The mbers of AWY finished their preparations and headed to the broadcasting station. They took a photo with the coffee truck that they had prepared for their fans and staffs as a reverse gift, and then entered the waiting room.
Guys.
PD-nim.
Lee Jong-su PD also had a cup of coffee in his hand, probably from the sa truck.
You guys are really good at reverse gifts.
Is that a complint?
Of course. Its not your obligation to do that for your fans. And we also get to enjoy it.
Thats true. Its not their obligation to do that for us either.
Thats why I like you guys.
The PD who was smiling warmly suddenly changed his expression.
So, what do you think will be the title song? Didnt you guys talk about it? It must have been a nerve-wracking competition.
Oh, PD-nim. Dont tease us. We didnt say anything.
Co on, you can tell .
Ian asked the PD bluntly.
By the way, PD-nim. Isnt it a triple title, not just one song? Thats the prize for todays winner, right?
What? What are you talking about? Its one song. We already sent out the press release.
Really?
Ians eyes followed the PDs face persistently. The PD didnt show any change in his expression.
He seems to be trying hard to keep a poker face.
Then, Kim Myung-jin ca out of the waiting room and gestured to the mbers that they had to get ready.
PD-nim, see you at the rehearsal.
Okay. Ill make sure the sound is good.
The mbers left the waiting room and the PD was left alone in the hallway. He scratched his neck and muttered as if sighing.
Wow Hes like a ghost.

A short summary of the previous episode was aired, and then the screen switched to the JBTC studio. The mbers of AWY popped out from between the LED screens that split to both sides and stood in the center of the stage.
Who we are? AWY! Hello, we are AWY!
The mbers lined up and shouted their greeting in sync with Lee Joo-hyuks signal. Then, Park Seo-dam and Ian, who were holding cue cards, ca to the center and started the hosting.
Everyone, the voting for a week has ended, and we only have the last live stage of Our ti left!
Which song did you vote for?
The fans who filled the audience seats scread.
You probably dont know which team worked on which song, right?
Lets reveal it right now!
The mbers split to both sides. The LED screens where they ca out brightened up and announced the nas of each teams songs.
Joo-hyuk&Hyun&Ian
Chat, Its okay
Jin-hyuk&Seo-dam
7, Night night
Ju-young&Tae-woong
In Your Eyes, Crash
Cheers erupted from various places in the audience seats. The fans who couldnt make it to the scene but were watching the live broadcast at ho also posted their reactions in real ti.
-7 is really Park Jin-hyuks style
I knew it was him who made this crazy song
-Chat was really good
-Crashs lyrics were written by Tae-woong The song is good but it hurts my heart
-In Your Eyes could have been a title song too Its a pity that it was eliminated from the candidates
The mbers who had split up gathered again in the center. Ian glanced at the cue card and looked at the cara.
Im curious how our mbers worked on their songs.
too. We dont know anything about the other teams, right? Arent you curious?
The audience shouted yes!
It will be revealed right now!
The cara light went off, and the LED screen showed the edited footage of the mbers work process. The mbers sat in their designated seats and looked at the screen with anticipation.
(Ahh!)
Ian flinched. That scream was his own, exhausted from working.
The black screen disappeared and Ian, who was tearing his hair out, filled the screen.
(Im going crazy!)
(Hey, look at this.)
(What are you guys doing? Is this a pieta?)
(Im checking on Hyun, whos tired from working.)
The scene showed Lee Joo-hyuk, who was calmly sitting, and Kim Hyun, who was half-asleep on his lap.
The scene changed and this ti it was Park Seo-dam and Park Jin-hyuk.
(Hyung, I cant think of anything!)
(Just drink so water like . Maybe youll get so ideas when the blood flows to your head.)
Park Jin-hyuk smiled stupidly and drank so water. Park Seo-dam, who would normally scold him with Hyung! Stop talking nonsense!, followed him and then collapsed to the side.
(Hey, arent you hungry while driving?)
(Uh But we dont have anything in the fridge.)
(I saw a lot of food in the staffs dorm Should we sneak in and steal so?)
Jo Tae-woong and Kim Ju-young were racing with wheeled chairs and then got tired and planned to steal the staffs snacks.
Ah The PD didnt edit that
The mbers bowed their heads as their embarrassing monts were exposed on the broadcast.
