✭Legend || SM's New Girl GroupOctober 18th, 2013
Day 132
"How long is this plane ride?" Yerim asked their managers while fixing an annoyed Minhwa's under eye makeup. She kept rubbing her eyes, accidently smearing the skin-colored powder to hide the dark bags all the members bore.
"Less than two hours," Jiwook answered.
"I wish Haneul could come..." Hye Rin vocalized her sadness that her best friend couldn't join the group on their first concert. Well, it wasn't their concert per say but it was an SM concert.
"Her drama has to come first," Sumin sent the smaller girl a reassuring smile from the passenger seat.
A comfortable conversation continued in the van until they reached the bustling international airport. As is typical SM fans style thousands of Korean - and some foreign - fans of both genders scrunched up together in hopes of catching a glimpse of their favorite idol.
Although outsiders may not realize it but the second idols wake up to the moment they step foot on the concert stage their movements are pre-planned. The label already plans when each groups van will arrive at the airport, which group goes in what order and even which airport security will be around them. Legend were to come before f(x) and after SHINee, leaving a six minute time gap for their sunbaes to make their own way through the airport.
Legend and their managers were meet with shrieks and, surprisingly, no pushing. The few airport security guards they had surrounding them made it so no fan got closer than three feet to each of them. Every member heard their name shrieked at least a hundred times from the avid fans, even though having to be guided through an endless sea of fans was rather terrifying the girls enjoyed that they were able to see how many fans they truly have. Although, that mindset probably won't last very long.
The girls were rushed through security, one of them mumbled something about how they didn't even take their shoes off. The previous screams turned into a lighter buzz once they were brought to their gate.
"How does our stuff get on the plane?" Seol Ae asked, adjusting her tall leather boots that were uncomfortably digging into her skin due to the fast walking. She liked going fast, just not that fast.
"Some of the SM employees will check them in and grab them from the carousel when we land," Sumin answered, releasing a comfortable sigh, slumping into the plastic-feeling black seat.
"Can we walk around here? It's not like the fans who don't have a plane can get in the gates," Rui asked.
"Yeah, I'm thirsty," Hye Rin added, wanting a water bottle.
"Sure, sure just don't go anywhere alone," Jiwook waved it off.
Yerim and Holly said they were fine while the others quickly walked over to the closest kiosk.
"Should we get a magazi- hey Minhwa-ah, you okay?" Seol Ae shifted closer to the shaking girl. Due to her pointing it out the other members quickly took notice of Minhwa's shaken appearance.
"It's just the crowd..." she softly mumbled, slightly inclining her head back towards the airport's entrance.
The members nodded, understanding. It was rather overwhelming, especially for someone like Minhwa. Hye
