“Did you sleep well?”

Hannah looks up at the camera when she is caught dozing off, leaning her back against the wall in the corridor. She quickly shows a guilty smile and look away embarrassed. The concert DVD cameras will be filming today, both the concert and backstage. But Hannah doesn’t know if that is for the concert DVD, since there are cameras for ‘5 Pieces In Japan’ and the Swedish program too – though she recognizes the Swedish staff compared to the others.

She is honest to the camera and says she wasn’t able to sleep.

“None of us could sleep after yesterday’s concert,” Hannah tells and bows to someone walking by behind the camera. “I think we used up all energy at the concert, but we were still excited after it had ended.”

She smiles by the memory at how the girls had spent time with their families and staff after the concert, and when they went home to sleep they were just too excited and hadn’t been able to sleep. In the end they spent two hours talking about the concert, but their brains had fallen asleep at that time so the girls were just exchanging memories from the concert before falling asleep. Hannah had also texted Kyung Ho a little; ending up promising she will come visit him in the upcoming week.

“If you are this tired now, will you be able to do the concert later?” the camera-woman wonders.

“I will be awake by then,” Hannah answers with her innocent and tired smile. “It’s still early now, so during the day I will get more awake. And just the thought of the concert makes me filled with energy.”

After getting a text on her cell-phone, Hannah goes to exchange some words with both her manager and Julia before she walks away from all the people. She greets the staff with a smile when walking by them in the corridor and she walks to a backdoor where outside there are cars and vans. Hannah opens the door to let Honggi inside. She looks down when he walks by her inside the building and when he has come inside the two of them slowly starts to walk back.

“Can I talk to you now?” Honggi wonders.

Hannah doesn’t say anything; she just keeps her eyes on the floor when walking, so he sees that as a chance to talk. “I know that I have been behaving like a big time idiot for a long time. I have done things and said things that have hurt you, and then I have repeated them. I have thought a lot about it, and I admit I have been selfish.”

“Extremely selfish,” Hannah nods and Honggi gives a smile. Her tone isn’t as hating as he had feared, it’s a good thing.

“I think, you hated me last week, but you aren’t this week-”

“It’s because of the concert,” Hannah simply butts in to say.

“I could be,” Honggi nods. “Or it is the fact that you can’t be angry at me. Even if I have been so selfish, you know just as I do, that it won’t completely ruin our friendship. Don’t get angry at me saying this, it is the truth. I know I have been a jerk, but we are friends, right, Hannah?”

“Honggi-”

“I have told you before, Hannah,” Honggi sounds more serious, “our friendship means everything to me. I don’t want my bad behaviour to ruin it.”

Hannah looks up at him when he goes up in front of her, making the two of them stop. He apologizes for her again, face to face. Just like the day before, Hannah can’t feel angry at him as she did a week ago at the Music Festivals. Looking at him today, hearing him say that he is an idiot and sound like he really feels bad for his behaviour, makes her actually feel bad because she is also one to blame. She can’t be angry at him; after all, it’s Honggi. Honggi is quiet as it looks like she is about to answer him, but just as her lips parts, another voice behind Honggi asks what they are doing. It’s Jonghyun. Hannah quickly says “nothing” and walks by them both to go back to her members. Jonghyun looks at Honggi after seeing Hannah leave.

“Did you upset her?” he asks without judging.

Honggi shakes his head, sighing before answering; “I only said good words this time. I don’t know what to do.”

“Gove her some more time,” Jonghyun tells him. Even if Honggi is in love in his girlfriend, Jonghyun knows that their friendship is more important. “She has a lot in her mind now.” Honggi knows that, but he still wants her to talk to him.

Hannah returns to the room just in time for the rehearsals to start. Maria laughs when seeing her enter the room, asking why she has such timing before they heads out the room to go to the stage. The girls get their microphones and they feel so familiar with the stage today, the second concert day but fourth day there. They can correct yesterday’s mistakes, and come up with ideas to do better as they now know how the concert can look like as it is the second one. In other words: they have more confident in today’s concert.

Because they will film today’s concert for the DVD, there are more things to go through. It will be hard to see during the concert which cameras are for the big screen and the DVD, but that isn’t such a big issue. They go through things they were told by Lee Sooman to think about and they come with small suggestions as well. SHINee gives them some advice too – but only when the girls begs them to.

Minho tells them to take it slow during the talks, that yesterday the fans loved the relaxed talked they had. He doesn’t really know what they could say though.

Hannah is standing on the stage, singing a part of her song [Burning]. She isn’t singing in the microphone, just practicing her voice for the rehearsal of it. After some singing, she looks to her left and stops to sing with a smile when seeing a camera approaching her. She gives a slight bow in a greeting before she is asked by the camera-man what she is doing.

“I’m practicing my song for the concert,” Hannah answers. “Just now … they are checking the sound; it started to sound weird. So while waiting I am remembering the lyrics.”

“You don’t know the lyrics?”

“I know them,” Hannah laughs. She is about to go on talking when someone walking by behind the camera makes her quiet. The person walking behind the camera walks behind Hannah so he gets visibly on the camera and Hannah keeps looking at him before he comes up to stand next to her with his hands crossed over his chest and a suspicious look.

“Are you talking about me?” Yunho asks, looking from Hannah to the camera back and forth. Hannah shakes her head, getting nervous to be in front of the camera with him. Yunho looks comfortable though.

“Yunho Sunbaenim will perform with me,” Hannah tells the camera and Yunho nods next to her, looking very manly.

The camera-man asks Yunho what he thinks of the performance and song he will feature in with Hannah. “Um… I really liked the song when it was released, and I still do. I think it matches Hannah’s image, even if she is very shy – like now-” he jokes with a laugh and Hannah laughs shyly too. “- I will try to help her make the stage Burn for her performance.”

They both laughs at his ending when he adds ‘Burn’ as in the name of the song ‘Burning’ and they go to do the rehearsal when the staff says the sound is okay. The camera films from below the stage and while rehearsing the song, Hannah sees the camera and when she gets the time she does the v-sign for it with a smile. When that scene is showed for the program, it will be a voice saying “in the middle of the serious rehearsal, Hannah takes time to show her happiness about the concert when seeing the camera”.

At the end of the rehearsals, Maria’s sisters come. They will stay in Korea for a week, to see the concert and go sightseeing before on Friday next week they will see 5 Pieces at their comeback stage on Music Bank. Carolina’s mother is already at the airport to go back to Sweden, so she had come by in the morning to say goodbye. Maria’s sisters are just like her, both in manners and way to talk. That family is pretty confident and they are divas in front of the cameras. Whenever someone is going to take a photo of Maria or the sisters (or they are taking of each other) they are all doing poses that Maria is known for making. Weird poses; diva poses.

It is very loud in the room backstage. The girls are loudly talking about their outfits, stylist Yong Hyun talking as well. They have fixed the make-up and changed into their first outfits to look like pirates. When a camera-man filming asks Julia if they are fighting about something, she just gives a small laugh and says that is how they have a conversation.

They are dressed early to do interviews for different TV programs and news just like the day before. Now they at least know what they are talking about since they had the first concert yesterday.

“BABY!” Maria screams in the corridor. Hannah turns around. She had just been about to walk by the camera filming down the corridor, but she is still visibly in it when she turns around. Maria is standing far away and she starts to dance to their song [I Love You]. Hannah laughs and looks over her shoulder at the camera, smiling widely. Maria gives out a sound in the back and Hannah looks back at her; Maria is still dancing like an idiot without any music. Hannah doesn’t do anything and she laughs when Maria bursts out that she herself looks like a fool to dance alone if Hannah isn’t following. Hannah just shakes her head back and forth cutely to the camera and Maria comes running up behind her; Hannah runs away before she is caught.

“Maria looks like a fool when she dances,” Hannah tells the camera with her arms around Maria a few minutes later.

“Ya,” Maria says in a warning tone. “I can look y just like you.”

Hannah just smiles and hugs her so her face is hidden from the camera behind Maria’s. Maria laughs and says she won’t get away with it.

With the fans filling up the arena, 5 Pieces are starting to look nervous again. The girls are chatting backstage, but also practicing some songs together and choreographies. Hannah goes out to the corridor to do an interview with the concert DVD. People keeps walking around them though, so Hannah can’t help but to look around once in a while when talking about the concert and stages. In the middle of the interview she suddenly gives out a surprised sound and she bows down deeply when Brian Joo along with Super Junior’s Siwon comes. She bows two more times towards them, but they won’t interrupt the interview and just greets before walking by. After doing her interview, Hannah hurries over to the room to greet them more proper.

SNSD’s Sooyoung comes too, looking like a model in her simple stylish outfits. She couldn’t come the day before when some other members from her group came, so she comes today. While she and Maria are talking in front of a camera, Hannah is standing in the background, reading a card the group had gotten from a fan. Hannah laughs when finish reading the card and she looks up at Julia in front of her who had showed her the card.

Hannah gets a text from 4 Minute’s Hyuna who says she is there at the concert with Jiyoon, G.NA and B2ST’s Doojoon and Hyunseung. Hannah gets nervous when knowing who will be there – even Brian Joo is there! The American producer Melissa Allen makes a visit too. She had come back to Korea the day before, so she had decided to come to the concert today instead, though she sent her wishes to the girls for the first concert the day before. All the guests backstage are going to take their seats when Hannah hurries out. She laughs when a camera-man filming hurries with her. She meets up with U-Kiss’ Dongho, Kevin and Hoon who all came in the last minute. Emelia comes out too to greet them and they take a picture – they take pictures with all guests coming backstage. They exchanges words before the boys have to go take their seats.

On the way back to the room, Hannah and Emelia are asked about their friends coming to watch their concert.

“Most of our friends are really busy now at after New Year, so we are very thankful for that they are taking the time to come watch our concert,” Hannah says with Emelia walking close next to her. Emelia adds: “Because our families are in Sweden, it feels really good getting support from our friends here in Korea. On our first concert, there were a lot from our SM Town family who came and gave us advices.”

“Friends from our 92-line came too,” Hannah adds. Their 92-line are those born in 1992, and yesterday it was f(x)’s amber, FT Island’s Minhwan and Seunghyun who came by.

“Oppa,” Emelia waves for DBSK and SHINee when everyone is gathering to put their hands in a circle. With the dancers also it is very tight, so not everyone has their hands in the middle, but everyone is standing together.

“Have fun today, everyone!” Maria is doing the cheer happily and loudly with her unique voice. “For 5 Pieces concert we are honoured to have our seniors and friends helping us out to make it an even better concert, and out there our fans are waiting to see us rock the stage. So let’s scream and shout until we loose our voices!” They laugh at her words. “Okay, not so far; LET’S SCREAM AND SHOUT ‘TIL WE DIE! THEN - WHO ARE WE?!”

“5 PIECES!” they all say together.

“WHO?!” Maria shouts.

“5 PIECES!!” the whole group shouts and their hands fly up in the air. Everyone claps their hands and a camera filming catches Yunho clap his hands in the air before tapping Maria on the back, wishing them good luck. Hannah walks with her members towards the stage, fixing with her microphone on the way and nervously smiling at the camera she walks by. Today there will be cameras everywhere; on stage and backstage. The staff talks to them when they stop by the stage and the nervousness can start all over again for 5 Pieces.

The fans roar is heard when the girls come backstage to change clothes. Maria goes up on the stage as she left it earlier to get time to change, and she performs her ballad with Yunho and Changmin. Hannah has changed her clothes and is standing by the stage with Honggi to wait for their turn. They haven’t talked much, and when they have talked it is about the performance. They go through what to do on the stage when standing next to it. Before going to take their places under the stage they sees the camera filming behind them and waves happily before running away to take their positions.

Though their friendship is shaky, their performance is as beautiful as before. When their performance is coming to an end the two of them sings strongly while facing each other and Hannah can’t help but to smile when their voices have faded away and the song comes to an end.

The concert goes on with both lively and charismatic songs, the girls performing just as hard as the day before. They give their all that already at the beginning they are tired. Almost 20 songs in to the concert, they perform [Let Us Ride] in their pyjamas clothes. Hannah laughs when she is running and she glides in her socks over the stage. She points towards the fans next to her that are laughing at how far she glides. She is laughing, just like the day before having so fun. And there are new fans in the arena, filling it up. It makes her really happy.

Hannah runs over to the right side of the stages and she waves like crazy to a camera when running by it. *Let’s go!* the girls shouts together in the song, running around on the stages with the fans cheering. Hannah keeps having fun during the chorus, not being the one singing. Hannah walks down from the end of the right “arm” like the day before and the staff helps her to be on the same level as the fans. Hannah brings her hand out for the fans and she sings brightly *come over here, I’ll invite you, so come over*. She does the same on the other side while walking towards the middle stage.

During [Can’t Hols Us Down] that they perform after DBSK’s [Rising Sun], the girls are singing for all the girls in the audience. It’s true girl-power for that song. Hannah is singing strongly with the members at the final choruses of the song. She is facing her fans, singing so loud to keep up with her members that she even has to lift her head to sing the high notes.

The song comes to an end and just like the day before but with a little twist, Hannah turns nonchalantly around to walk back on the stage when the song ends. She can’t help but to smile at a girl on her right side that screams loudly over that movement.

The whole concert goes well like the one the day before. The girls might be sweating from the tough dances or the hot surrounding – or they fact that when they are singing the fun songs they aren’t still – but they are still smiling and showing that they aren’t totally exhausted. When [Flying Free] stops during the encore, the girls stand together on the middle stage. Wet, like the day before, because they have been throwing water around at each other.

“I’ve lost my voice!” Maria laughs, and you can hear how hoarse it is. Their voices are tired after yesterday’s concert and today’s, and they have been singing and doing adlibs and everything like crazy. “It’s all because of you,” Maria says seriously and she bends her knees a little when pointing out with her whole arm over the audience that screams loudly. They all thanks for the audience’s support during the concert and Carolina also say they did sing really well to all of the songs.

Carolina starts to talk like the day before, talking about having their own concert and that. Hannah is listening and today she is having her arms around Julia. She actually wants to sit down because her legs are killing her from tiredness, so hanging on Julia is her secret try to rest.

“Before we will sing the two final songs,” Maria says and smiles again when the audience screams that they don’t want it to end. “I have a question: do you know the biggest reason to why we wanted to have a concert?”

The members look tired but they smiles at the question and the audience asking what the biggest reason is. Hannah smiles when Maria looks at her members, resting the microphone to her lips. “It wasn’t just that we want to perform for three hours in a row and get all sweaty and hot-” the members laughs over Maria’s words and the audience screams loudly when she mentions ‘sweaty and hot’. Hannah puts her arms down from Julia to wipe away some of the sweat from her neck.

“Do you want to know the reason?” Maria asks, teasing the fans when not saying the reason. She keeps smiling, taking a pause while looking at the audience. Emelia looks at Hannah and Julia, smiling too while telling the girls without the microphone that she is holding in the tears.

“We have wanted to do something special for our fans, who have been our angels – always being there,” Maria says and the fans roar over the touching words. “So we came with this concert…”

“Puzzle is our purple angels,” Carolina nods and Hannah laughs. “Purple angels?” Emelia asks. The audience seems to love it.

Hannah turns to Julia while the others are talking, and when Julia looks at her, they both laugh. Julia puts her hand on Hannah’s cheek to wipe away the tears coming and the audience shouts wildly, which one makes more tears come. Hannah looks away, up to keep away the tears. “Our magnae is crying…” Carolina seems to like it just as much as the audience. Hannah apologizes and laughs of embarrassment.

“It’s all thanks to our fans that we can stand here today,” Emelia says, as all of them are thinking of the same thing.

The reason Hannah had started to cry was because just the feeling from the concert is so amazing compared to a year ago, when she was struggling to even be able to practice with her members. She had been good to not think about it yesterday, but now when they talk about ‘purple angels’ it really hit her that when she was at the hospital last year, her fans kept telling her to be strong and that they are longing to see 5 Pieces on stage as five. The same thing when they made their comeback and Hannah had to rest those weeks, it makes her feel bad for missing all the chances to have fun with their fans.

Julia gives her a hug and Maria – also in tears now – comes over to tell her not to cry, because they make the others cry too. The audience is screaming ‘don’t cry, don’t cry’ and a minute later Hannah apologizes again and the group can start with their final two songs. They perform the ballad, and the cameras catches Emelia crying too. Just because of Hannah, they all remembered the tough time and thinking back to the hard times in the past while standing on this large stage with the fans waving the purple glow-sticks around them.

After that the concert has ended, the girls comes backstage. They keeps bowing and thanking the staff around them and smiling to the cameras backstage. Hannah bows and bows and bows and when Changmin comes up next to her she bows to him too. He just smiles and puts his arm around her shoulders, patting her with his hand and saying they did well. He also bows to some of the staff along with Hannah – not as deep though.

They all then go to stand next to the stage. Hannah hugs Maria’s arm when standing there, looking up at the big screen that even if the concert has ended, has started to show a video. The girls keep looking from the screen to the audience, smiling out of nervousness to see the reaction. On the screen, a music video teaser for their new song [Switch] is showed. It is the first teaser; and the first hint of a new song at all. So the fans looks surprised to see a new teaser and hear something new.

The teaser starts of with the lyrics, showing all five members dancing coolly to the song with a loud beat, adding clips of the member’s two second long solo parts. It sure has style, showing off the charisma of 5 Pieces. In the teaser you can make out Carolina singing *even your expression, I am so disappointed, disappointed* and the chorus *now I will SWITCH (switch, switch) I will SWITCH (switch, switch) To someone who will love me* and it ends with *SWITCH* and the final dance move by the girls with the camera getting further away from them.

“5 Pieces, [Switch] – 2012.01.10,” a voice says when the text comes up on the screen.
