After it was over, everyone left the stadium with satisfaction on their faces. Meanwhile, Taehee also drove the five to their apartment. After dropping them, she complimented them, "good job, guys. You did great today. Not every rookie can pull it off with the live singing without any problems. Go and have some rest. You are all going to be busy starting tomorrow.After reaching their apartment, all of them hugged once again with happiness and then, they began to call their parents. Jun went to his room and took a shower. After that, he picked up his mobile and thought of calling Yungja, at first. But then, after remembering that Yungja going to be busy with her concert, Jun didn"t call her and called her mother instead, "h.e.l.lo, Jun?" Jun replied, "h.e.l.lo, mom. I just returned to the apartment." His mother asked, "Did everything go well?" Jun replied, "Mom, I finally did it."
After talking with his mother for a while, he disconnected the call and saw the time. Quickly, he walked out of his room and was about to call others to remind them but saw Minsu and HaeSeong are watching YouTube and checking out the comments of the video, "Unlimited live debut, Incheon."
Looking at Jun, Minsu said excitedly, "Hyung, we have a huge positive response this time. See this..." As he scrolls up and showed him the number views, which are currently at 1.14 million, Jun got taken aback in a surprise as he never expected such a huge number, even though he didn"t know the exact number of users as the live stream already ended 40 minutes ago.
Jun then asked, "Where are others?" Minsu replied, "They are still on their phones. Anyway, it"s almost time for our first video song to get uploaded. Come and sit here, Hyung. I"ve also ordered dinner for everyone." Jun smiled in return, "thanks." Thousands of netizens, who saw the live stream and those who missed it, are sitting before their laptops, mobile, etc... eagerly waiting for the music video to be uploaded.
On September 9th, at 9 P.M., the music video of Energetic got released on the official website and YouTube, simultaneously.
Minsu shouted, "Dohyun, HaeSeong, come down quickly. The first song was uploaded." Since they didn"t also know how it turned out, Dohyun and HaeSeong disconnected the calls and rushed downstairs as the video song was started on the television.
The music video first started with the usual introduction of Echo Entertainment. Then, as the background music started, the five of them are shown walking cheerfully for a three to four seconds before changing to Jun, who started to play piano for a couple of seconds and he looked at the front while motioning the hand towards his face and began to sing,
"In this moment where I gradually
feel more of both of our lips, it"s so hot"
3 minutes, 47 seconds later, the members of Unlimited clapped to themselves and Jun spoke, "good job, guys." Minho then commented, "Director To-Hoon and his team may be very strict but they have done a splendid job." Dohyun then said, "Hyung was no doubt the star here." Jun waved his hand and replied, "Everyone did well."
Minsu then laughed, "That scene of us pushing the Minho on a skateboard, turned out to be good even though it was extremely funny on the set." Jun the commented, "our maknae looks cute in that donut scene, isn"t he?" As everyone nodded, HaeSeong opened his mouth, "can we watch the reaction of the people?"
As everyone nodded, they opened the comments section, there are like more than a hundred comments posted just within the five minutes of the song and reached 30K views so quickly and the pace is increasing drastically.
"Wah, Dohyun looks very cute" "those Donuts are super yummy, lol" "Sungjun-Oppa, you are amazing" "Saranghae Sungjun-Oppa" "Unlimited, break the limits" "we support you, Unlimited" "Rookie monsters" "Best rookies" "Minho"s rapping style is amazing" "Sungjun"s vocals are the highlight of the song" "can"t wait for the other music videos"
As they were watching the comments while grinning ear to ear since the views quickly crossed 100K with lots of positive comments, ignoring the usual hater comments, the doorbell rang and Dohyun took the food parcel package from one the staff of the apartment building, instead of delivery boy, because of the confidentiality, even though the rookies aren"t even well known.
For every few minutes, each package came from each restaurant for 4 more times from each one"s favorite restaurants. After receiving his, Jun continued to watch the comments, along with the rest of them, while eating his favorite Chicken BBQ Garlic Pizza with cola. A couple of hours later, Jun stood up while stretching his body, "I"m going to sleep. You guys close it and sleep. We also have the press conference, first thing in the tomorrow."
After closing his door and sleeping on his bed, Jun spoke in his mind, "Aria, continue with the notifications." Immediately, he heard the notifications again.
