BXBX NOVEL Chapter 350 - 11.42
The reception for My Devil\'s music video and first comeback performance was enormous. Everyone talked about BXB69\'s recent comeback performance in Music Bink because it was simply out of this world.
People were surprised by how captivating and sensual the performance was, and BXB69\'s My Devil that was charting around rank 4-5 in the majority of music charts, suddenly made a perfect all-kill by skyrocketing to rank 1, beating all the senior idol group. They were also trending number one in social media.
BXB69 skyrocketed from just a Nugu (unknown) idol group to an ace rookie and suddenly became the trending idol group everywhere, even internationally. Everyone suddenly recognized their faces on the street, so now, BXB69 couldn\'t just go around to public space without being surrounded by fangirls.
And speaking of their fans, the increase of fans were also enormous, since their album sales reached one million in just one week after their release! It was so much, too much to handle, actually, because the BXB69 wave took over everything in their country.
Like right now, BXB69 was holding a fan sign event in a huge auditorium. They expected at least half of the seat would be filled, but to their surprise, many fans bought the album in bulk, hoping that they would get that Fan sign ticket because it was lottery-based.
So, many of the fans were crying hysterically outside of the auditorium with BXB69 merch because they were unlucky and couldn\'t join the fan sign without a ticket.
Meanwhile, the auditorium was packed with fans. No seat was left empty.
Kyong peeked from the backstage, and he was shocked by the number of fans. "H—Hyung, there are so many. And they are using our merch. I even saw someone bringing a banner with my face. Am I dreaming or what?" Kyong asked.
Han laughed and patted Kyong\'s head, "Why are you surprised? Don\'t you remember that our comeback is the top song of the year right now? At this point, I think we will win Daebak, haha!" Han said confidently.
Taeyang and Taesa also saw few people with their banner and even plushie with their faces. "This is so unbelievable. I didn\'t know that we can attract so many fans."
"Well, believe it, so you can get used to it," Han said.
Jay approached Han and hugged him from behind, "Hyung, we did it, finally."
Han froze on the spot. He awkwardly turned his head at Jay and nodded, "We are finally at this point. I think we are on a great path right now."
"Yes, as long as we can continue making great music, I believe that we can live in peace five years from now. I will make sure to invest all my money, so I can provide for you without the need of you to work after we leave the entertainment circle," Jay said.
Speaking of Jay, his solo career also skyrocketed. His single topped the chart at rank 2 now, right below My Devil, their group song.
"You also did great, Jay," Han said.
"Well, all I do is for you," Jay kissed Han\'s forehead before he joined Taeyang, Taesa, and Kyong to greet fans. Han stared at his group, who was currently greeting fans, and their fans were screaming like crazy for them.
Ding!
Han checked the new text from Lee Yongsun.
*Devil Husband: Don\'t forget our contract. Daebak Award will start in six months, and I will make sure that you will win. I will not give you up to Im Jaehwa. Remember that, wife.*
Han sighed and replied the text:
*Han Waifu: Are you somewhere over here? Don\'t be nosy. I\'m working right now. And no, I will not forget our contract. I can\'t wait to win that Daebak Award and marry you.*
*Devil Husband: Good, I will keep that promise.*
Han turned off his phone and joined his group mates to greet the fans and start the fan sign event. After BXB69 blew up in public, the individual popularity ranking had shifted. Jay was now the most popular, followed by Han and then Kyong. The twins were taking the last place.
But all of them were individually popular enough to overshadow many groups in the market. So it didn\'t matter much.
As the leader, Han opened the fan sign with his greeting, gratitude for the fans who came, and apology for the fans who were unable to enter this fan sign event. And then they played some fun games before they started their fan sign.
Lee Yongsun was watching the fan sign from above. There was a small room on the highest floor of the auditorium. This small, private room was reserved for Lee Yongsun, so he could watch over his beloved.
He smiled when he saw how Han was busy signing the album while chatting with the fans who were lined up one by one. He must have been waiting for this moment for years because, from what Lee Yongsun researched, Han had been struggling to work in that coffee shop for years because he needed to provide for his group.
Lee Yongsun could just buy that small coffee shop, but he didn\'t want to hurt Han\'s ego.
That was why Lee Yongsun often picked him up and forced Han to stay with him, so Han could skip working there. That was the only \'human\' and \'logical\' way for Lee Yongsun to stop Han from working.
Lee Yongsun didn\'t want his beloved to get angry because he was meddling too much with his life. Knowing how prideful Han was, Lee Yongsun doubted that Han would thank him directly after Han got fired.
So he carefully crafted his plan to capture Han, especially by creating a rift between him and Im Jaehwa first and then trapped Kim Haneul with him forever.
"I may be evil, and I admit that, Han. But I did it because I can\'t afford to lose you again this time."
"Don\'t worry, we will be together soon."
