"Welcome!"

"To the first..."

"HQ Family Concert!" The lights bright up as the audience cheers and the stage reveals the two performers of the song. "My name is Jung Hea, a trainee under HQ Entertainment and I have a feeling, you all may know my co-MC here,"

"Hello everyone, my name is Taehyun. I am Mirage's eldest member as well as the main rapper, lead dancer, and vocalist!" Taehyun says with a soft smile as he bows towards the audience that only gets louder.

"Oh wow quite the portfolio you got there Taehyun-oppa, are you also the leader, maknae, and FOTG?" The younger girl jokes making the male laugh and shake his head. "We have a long line up for you all tonight and I'm sure everyone is super excited, correct?"

The audience cheers once again as the two MCs look at each other and smile brightly.

"Then don't let us get in the way. How about we get started?" Taehyun asked as he hears many variations of 'yes' from the crowd. "What better way to begin with if not with the girls that drew so much popularity to the company? Let me introduce my sunbaenims, Enamor!"

"Ah they're just so perfect I swear, I'm jealous!" Hea exclaims with a small pout as Taehyun shakes his head. "Enamor has become one of the bigger girl groups in our current generation right?"

"Right." Taehyun response with a raised eyebrow.

"Well these next girls are here to you who ruled Kpop in the early 2000s. Welcome HQ trainees with a cover of Genie by Girls' Generation!"

"You know Girls' Generation was some of the first choreography I learned?" Hea asks looking towards Taehyun who shakes his head.

"I didn't know that actually, but did you know they were also mine?"

"Ah no way! Let me guess, Gee?"

"How did you know?" Taehyun acts fake surprise and laughs. "And no I will not be doing the choreography." He adds pointing towards the audience who half laughs and half whines. "But don't worry, this next performance although not having a choreography, will blow your mind. Grab your tissues while you listen to some of our best male vocalists cover Dangerously by Charlie Puth!"

"It really was, I know I can see some of the audience crying even," he teases pointing to a random spot of the audience making them laugh. "How about we make it up to you all? This next performance is adorable! Welcome HQ trainees and Mirage's very own Zero with Just Right by GOT7!"

"Oh is this a scary stage?"

"Not exactly, make sure if you're here with your partners to cover their eyes because they might fall in love with these next girls!" Hea jokingly teases. "Welcome HQ trainees with Sheesh by Baby Monster!"

[BACKSTAGE]
"So he's still performing right?" Haru says with a raised eyebrow shyly as he stretches his arms out as Johan helps him with his shirt.

"Yeah he is, I know he was worried about being the MC and also having so much stages but Taehyun is a big boy. He can handle it." Johan says with a nod as he finishes buttoning the boy's shirt. "There, you look good Haru."

A girl is heard cursing grabbing the attention of everyone backstage who is currently fixing their outfits or barely putting them on.

"I'm missing my heels!" Guinevere explains with a frown as she's making a pile of clothes on the ground looking for the specific heels. "I swear I left them right here!"

"Oh wait- these?" Yuliya says embarrassingly as she takes one of the heels she has on currently off to show the girl who tries her hardest not to roll her eyes, instead laughing.

"Yuliya please-" Guinevere says with a small sigh but smile, grabbing the heel to put it on as Yuliya gives her the other one and then walks away to find her own heels.

"Vere, you looked so good on stage!" Hana says clapping as she exits the changing rooms, adjusting her shirt in the mirror. "How was it?"

"I was actually pissing myself I'm going to be completely honest," Guinevere jokingly says standing up and walking around a bit to get used to her heels. "I don't know how Hyeon does it so effortlessly. It's like he was born for it honestly-"

"Speaking of which- Zyran-hyung, Caleb I just saw on the schedule you guys have two stages back to back?" Kyeongwoo says concerned with a piece of paper in his hand.

"Our first stage barely has any dancing. We'll be fine, I'm a bit worried about how quick we can outfit change though," Caleb says casually as he leans back on his chair and opens his water bottle to drink out of it.

"I'll help out with that since I have a bit of a break before my stage. Just give me your second outfits and I'll hold them near the stage so you can change quicker." Yerin says putting on her earrings and looking at Caleb who nods, getting up to do what he's told.

"They're calling next stage!" Ryusang says loudly, as he pushes a couple girls towards where the stage is. "And stop leaving clothes on the ground!"

"There's not even that much-"

"He said, stop leaving clothes on the ground!" Inna yells making the trainees quickly pick up the clothes on the floor and Ryusang only sighing as he looks over at Inna with a frown but thankful eyes.

[BACK ON STAGE]
"This next stage may not be sexy or what people call 'sleek' and 'cool', but we can assure you that it will steal your hearts!" Hea says smiling brightly.

"Welcome Enamor's Kina, Young.Era's Haeun and Xuân, plus HQ trainees performing for the first time ever HQ Station's Me Gustas Tu live!" Taehyun says clapping.

"Surprise! Some stages will be first time ever live performances of HQ Station music." Taehyun says while making jazz hands making the younger girl laugh and shake her head. "This next stage has a familiar face to the audience,"

"Yup, very popular face actually," Hea says grinning. "Welcome HQ's soloist Seraph and trainee Caleb Kwon performing Black Pink's Shut Down!"

TAESAN: Caleb Kwon] ———

"Because these boys and my own MC are actually on our next stage as well-" Hea starts off but is cut off by the loud cheering of the audience her laugh loudly. "Let's have a little chat with Enamor's Jihyo while we give them at least a minute to change."

"Hey everyone! I'm your temporary MC while Taehyun changes, so Hea is there a specific stage that you're excited for? Want to give the audience a spoiler?" Jihyo says with a small raised eyebrow.

"I'll just say that one of these upcoming stages is a cover of a Block B song that I am extremely excited to see." Hea says clapping with her non holding mic hand smiling. "How about you Jihyo-unni? Give us a spoiler, you know you want to!"

"There's actually a solo performance from a trainee I think our audience here will adore!" Jihyo says looking at the audience who some gasp and some look excited. "But so many of these stages I think will have a positive reaction honestly."

"You're probably right," Hea says nodding. "Well the minute is up so it's now or never, let's hope they're changed." She adds with a small laugh. "Next stage we have soloist Seeaph, Mirage's Taehyun, and HQ trainees performing Butterfly!"

"Okay okay Jihyo, you can't steal my spot." Taehyun says laughing as he walks over to the two girls with his mic.

"Aw but come on, give the audience some girl power time!" Jihyo says with a playful frown.

"We will, in a few stages. But for now, you go back stage and help those who need your help. You are our company's precious leader after all." Taehyun says smiling as the girl nods and bows towards the audience, smiling and walking off the stage waving.

"You remember that feeling you all had when watching the Dangerously stage? Well get ready because this next performance is sure to get a reaction as well!" Hea says.

"HQ trainees will definitely blow your mind with this cover of Taeyang's Eyes, Nose, Lips!" Taehyun adds.

"Will anyone? But you remember that girl power Jihyo had mentioned?" Taehyun asks as Hea nods and then shakes head as Taehyun grins. "Well this next stage is the stage I was mentioning. HQ Station recently released Queencard. So everyone, be loud for Enamor's Wonni and HQ trainees with the song Queencard!"

"Wah! Take a photo!" Hea says happily, singing a lyric from the song making Taehyun chuckle and roll his eyes. "Three stages already this next person has! He's scary!"

"I'll agree with that, Seraph is one of the most hardworking men I know so I'm not surprised he arranged his stages like this." Taehyun says shaking his head. "But good for the audience who adores him right?"

The audience goes crazy with cheers and yells.

"See! So let's not keep them waiting, Seraph with his debut song Feel Like!" Taehyun adds

[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]

"This next stage is actually the stage I was referring to when you weren't here!" Hea says happily.

"Ah you're going to break my heart Hea, do you want me to leave and get Jihyo?"

"No no! I just mean this is the stage I've been looking forward to! It's so cute and I adore this song."

"I won't disagree with you there because our next stage is a cover of Block B's H.E.R by HQ trainees!" Taehyun exclaims.

Taehyun and Hea take the stage with bright smiles once again. "Alright, everyone," Taehyun begins.

"Get ready to groove because we have a very exciting stage for you!" Hea jumps in with a playful grin, adding, "That's right! Up next is a song that's as smooth as well, butter!"

Taehyun laughs and shakes his head, "Oh, really, Hea? Did you just make a butter joke? Is that our MC style?" Hea shrugged with a wink.

"Very much so! But seriously, this song is going to make you all want to dance the night away." Taehyun nodded enthusiastically, "If you haven't heard it yet, we'll you're lying!" With that, Hea announced, "Ladies and gentlemen, welcome Enamor's Ray and Mirage's Milo covering BTS' Butter!"

"No one but those two I feel like could've done that song any more justice honestly," Hea says nodding as the two MCs still hum the song making the audience laugh. "See, we would not be able to perform that song like those two!" The girl says pouting.

"I agree, but you know what song has so many covers of it?" Taehyun asks the girl who only shakes her head. "Kara's Step is such a known and covered song that we are not surprised our talent here in HQ wanted to cover it."

"Ah Step! So good!" Hea says laughing. "Everyone cheer for Young.Era's Xuân as well as HQ trainees who are covering Kara's Step!"

"And this next stage is not going to disappoint either, the stage that will make many girls and boys in the audience flutter, welcome trainee Anneliese Kaiser with U-Go-Girl by Lee Hyori!"

[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]

"You know what Hea?"

"What's up Taehyun?"

"As much as I am loving our female artists absolutely 'slaying' these stages, I kind of want to see our male talent." Taehyun says looking over at Hea who nods along.

"Well I'm glad you said that because this next stage is nothing but male talent!" Hea exclaims excitedly. "A cover of one of the greatest debut songs, aside from our HQ artists of course-"

"Oh you mean The 7th Sense by NCT U?"

"Yup! Keep your eyes focused because here's our male trainees covering The 7th Sense!"

"Damn, if I knew any better I would think those 5 were already debuted idols!" Hea says after a small gasp when the stage finished.

"I agree, but quick question before this next stage Hea." Taehyun begins turning his body to the girl. "What's your favorite HQ Station release so far?"

"Oh that's so hard!" Hea complains, as she bums and thinks. "I have to go with either Red Flavor or Rollercoaster for sure!"

"Well unlucky for you because it's actually my favorite that's our next stage." Taehyun says laughing as he pays the girl's head. "Before our small break, clap loudly for the first live performance of HQ Station's Baby Don't Stop by trainee Kang Seojin and Mirage's Milo, the 'Butter' idol himself!"

[BACKSTAGE]
"You are not going on stage with that Miyoung- where's the outfit I picked out specifically for you?" Seyeon, a stylist, says with a frown as she looks at the girl shaking her head.

"I didn't like the shirt.." Miyoung says with a small frown as she turns her head hearing the footsteps of someone approaching them.

"Jongsu please- tell your sister that she has to change her shirt, this one doesn't fit the stage!"

"She's right Miyoung, it's yellow. You're going to stand out way too much," Jongsu says with a small frown as he looks at the shirt himself. "Maybe a neutral one. You don't have to wear the one Seyeon picked if you don't like it but you can't go out in that one."

"I lowkey like it," Kehlani butts in shrugging her shoulder as she walks over to the three having a conversation.

"I love it too but not for this stage," Seyeon says face palming her face. "Please just listen-"

"Okay okay I'll change shirts, but help me please Jongsu?" The younger sister frowns looking at her brother who looks at the stylist then back at her and nods making Miyoung smile.

"Hey Seyeon-unni, I don't mean to stress you out but Noah and Johan keep switching hats and I don't think they know which fits them better-" Kehlani adds with a nervous chuckle as the stylist only sighs and shakes her head, walking over to said boys.

"Babe!" A male voice is heard as he jogs over to his boyfriend smiling once he's close enough and wrapping his arms around the boy's neck. "Are you excited?"

"Extremely but nervous," Bitgaram says laughing as he wraps his own arms around Elliot's waist. "Shouldn't you be in the audience though?"

"I should but your stage isn't for a whole so I figured I'll see you before." The younger male shrugs his shoulder.

"Is that your way of saying our stage isn't worth it?" Eunwoo teases fixing his socks and bending to put his shoes on. "And here I thought we were friends-"

"We are!" Elliot says rolling his eyes. "Okay okay, well I'm leaving since break is almost over and I don't want to miss any stages."

"Well hurry cause we're about to go up Elliot, don't want you missing the song of the year." Aurelia says teasingly as she wiggles her eyebrows, passing by and to her group mates as Elliot nods, leaving a kiss on his boyfriend's forehead and walking off.

"You guys are so adorable, it makes me want to throw up just a tiny bit." Soojin says teasingly as she shoves Bitgaram who frowns but then laughs.

"Says half the company," Bitgaram rolls his eyes.

Kokomi sighs as she scrambled around trying to find something, making a mess of the vanity she was using as she pouts still looking.

"You good?" Liena asks with a raised eyebrow as she finished putting on her lipstick next to the girl still trying to find something.

"Yeah, I just thought I had a hair pin somewhere here but I guess not," the youngest female trainees says sighing as she shakes her head. "Do you have one Liena?"

"I don't but- Lani, do you have a hair pin?"

"Oh yeah," Kehlani says nodding as she takes her small bag into her hands to open it then hands the youngest the hair pin.

"Ah! Life savers," she says in glee as she puts it on. "Okay how do I look?" Kokomi says standing up and doing a spin for the two girls who cheer her on.

"Like a billion bucks," Liena says grinning.

"If I had to put a price on it yeah, you look like multiple millions." Kehlani added teasingly making the youngest girl smile.

"Just don't shine too much guys! Your stage is before ours, I don't want the fans disappointed because you guys did so well before us," Kokomi added making the two laugh before the youngest left to walk over to Haeun, putting her arm around her shoulder.

"Okay come on Lani, we have two stages before us so let's just run through it a little more."

[BACK TO STAGE]
"Earlier we complimented Enamor on just how much impact they made for HQ, but let's not forget that they're not the only girl group we have," Taehyun started.

"Mhm correct, and just as equally talented and popular, our next stage is Mesmer performing their current comeback Lovesick Girls!" Hea finished smiling.

"This is personally one of my favorite Seventeen songs, I mean how can it not be?" Taehyun says laughing softly. "Our next stage will make you adore our male talent-"

"Who's making the cheesy jokes now hm?" Hea teases shoving the boy who laughs and shoved her back.

"Yes yes, jokes. But seriously, let us showcase our HQ trainees performing Adore U by Seventeen!"

"You all may not know this but we actually have many more female trainees then male trainees," Hea begins as Taehyun nods. "I want to say for every boy we have two girls."

"Sounds about right."

"And this next stage is a good example as to why we have so many girls- it's because the talent is insane!" Hea says excitedly. "Honestly I'm considering joining them on stage for this one," she finishes with a laugh.

"If that's the case, let me sit down in the front row real quick," Taehyun jokes back walking towards the audience only to get pulled back by Hea.

"Okay okay enough joking, the audience is dying to see the stage right guys?" The audience replies in yells of 'yes' making the MCs smile. "Enamor's Jihyo and HQ trainees are here to make you dance with their cover of Hey Mama!"

"No way! Even as an idol now, that stage fit those girls perfectly." Taehyun added clicking his tongue. "This next stage though, is also one I personally can't do- or think I can-"

"Oh come on! This one is up your alley for sure!"

"Maybe but-"

"Don't make a joke, I already know you will." Hea cuts him off rolling her eyes making the audience laugh softly. "I'll beat you to it, and make a joke first," she says with a wink at the end.

"Ah I see what you did there!" Taehyun says with a laugh. "Clap loudly for our trainees covering Everglow's First!"

The audience goes wild in level of their noise as the two MCs direct their mics at them smiling brightly.

"It for sure is our most powerful performances tonight by a landslide but also!" Taehyun begins smiling. "These next two stages will be back to back, and I can assure you the audience will not be silent for a second!"

"You're right because next up is our idols! Here's Young.Era with ETA," Hea exclaims loudly then pays the boy's shoulder next to her. "And also Mirage's Fantasia live!"

"Ah I can't believe day one is almost over!" Hea says with a small pout.

"Me either, but on the bright side!" Taehyun says waving a boy over who smiling and walks over to them in the middle of the stage, bowing towards the audience. "Hyeon, say hello to everyone!"

"Hi everyone! I am Mirage's Hyeon, you may or may not know me-"

"Oh if they don't know you, that would actually be insane!" Hea says giggling as she looks at the male.

"I'm sure there's a few people who don't know me but that's okay," Hyeon adds smiling as the audience is still screaming for his attention.

"Hyeon, tell us how the concert has been and what the fans should expect for tomorrow." Taehyun asks the boy who nods and thinks.

"The concert tonight has been actually crazy, the talent of this company never seems to underwhelm me." Hyeon says with a soft chuckle. "Honestly with all the guys who performed today, I'm surprised I was even debuted under Mirage."

"Ah you can't say that Hyeon! You're super talented, voice of an angel as some would say." Hea adds frowning as she heard the boy's words.

"Thank you Hea," the older male smiles patting her back as she smiles back. "As for what fans can expect for tomorrow. Can I spoil something?"

"Sure, just not too much." Taehyun answers.

"You will see some special performances from Enamor, Mesmer, and Mirage tomorrow!" Hyeon announces as the audience claps loudly. "Thats all I have to say."

"Actually, we want you to announce this next stage." Hea says grinning as she leans her cards over to Hyeon so he could see what's written on it.

"Are you sure this isn't a.. secret?"

"Okay enough puns!" Taehyun jokingly complains making the two laugh.

"Okay okay, seriously," Hyeon begins. "Everyone welcome Enamor's Wonni along side other HQ trainees performing Secret Garden by Oh My Girl!"

The two MCs laugh as Hea tries to show Taehyun a dance move, Taehyun copying it which makes the audience laugh.

"Now I know we joked about song of the year before, but this next song might actually be a runner up- of course next to our Enamor and Mesmer releases," Hea explains as Taehyun does the move shown to himself with his hands only. "But you can all admit that Aespa's Supernova has been everywhere!"

"And she means everywhere," Taehyun adds once he stops dancing the main chorus of the song making the audience clap. "Even in our own company building, you walk past a practice room and it's Supernova."

"To be fair, you might have actually just been walking by these girls' rooms that's why you heard it so much," Hea teases.

"Actually now that I think about it-"

"But aside from that," Hea cuts him off laughing as the boy looks over at the audience who also laughs. "These next girls will not disappoint in showing you just how much this song rocks. Young.Era's maknae Koko and HQ trainees with.."

"Aespa's Supernova!" Taehyun finishes.

Hea is shown sighing as she makes a sad face grabbing the attention of Taehyun who frowns back at her.

"What's wrong Hea?" Taehyun asks with concern as the audience stays quiet.

"I'm just sad Taehyun! We have two stages left," she says with a small frown. "I mean they're incredible stages but only two left!"

"I agree, it is very sad but Hea we still have a whole day tomorrow," Taehyun reassures the girl as the audience starts to make noise once again. "See the audience gets it! Yes it's sad that we're almost done tonight but that only means tomorrow will get more hype!"

"I guess you're right," the girl states sighing, but smiles as she looks down at her cards. "I will say though, these two songs will not disappoint at all! Something about this next stage is going to make you have twinkles in your eyes."

Taehyun rolls his eyes laughing loudly and then shaking his head.

"Next up, TaeTiSeo's Twinkle cover stage by HQ trainees!" Taehyun announces.

"Yah! Taehyun you're no fun, enjoy the puns while we can still make them-"

"No," Taehyun exaggerates the "oh" sound.

"Extremely but, there's always tomorrow." Taehyun response as the crowd gets quiet. "But everyone make some noise for the last stage of the night!"

"This is the final send off with Mirage's Jongsu and trainees performing what's like Kpop's national anthem!" Hea adds excitedly.

"Bang Bang Bang!" The two yell together as the crowd goes crazy with cheers and screams.
