Day 140

"Japan! Japan!" Seol Ae and Yerim happily cheered as the plane filled with SM workers and artists pulled into the gate.

Hye Rin turned to Haneul with a smile. "Happy you got out of filming?"

"Definitely," the leader nodded, "it was difficult to get all those extra scenes done in time but I'm really happy I was able to."

"Everyone grab your things!" one of the SM staff members called out.

The makeup artists accompanying them scrambled to make last minute checks on all the idols makeup, preparing them for the numerous fan cams and paparazzi cameras.

As usual, it took forever for all of the SM artists to get through the airport. It was actually so bad this time that it became a first-come first-serve with the vans. Usually the groups would get their own van to go together, but since it was such a mess there was the rash decision for whoever got out of the mob would be pushed into whatever van was available until full.

And that is how Yerim found herself squished between Super Junior M's Zhoumi and Henry. It was extremely awkward. The dancer hadn't met Zhoumi before this and she felt her face gradually growing redder as the van took twists and turns resulting in her and Henry's sides brush against each other, she was practically lying on top of him at one point due to a sudden turn. The vans were so small that the trio were squished shoulder-to-shoulder together.

"Yerim-ssi?"

The Legend member turned in surprise towards the tall Chinese man. Zhoumi's brows were forrowed, looking down. "Do you mind taking your foot off mine?"

Looking down Yerim swiftly took her foot off of the tallers. Quickly apologizing for squishing the appendage Zhoumi merely waved it off saying something along the lines that 'you're really light, it didn't hurt that much'. Zhoumi actually didn't take his dark brown eyes off of her ankle, instead he asked in his thick accent, "What's on your ankle?"

At the question even Henry turned, curious.

"I have a weak ankle," Yerim shrugged, not thinking much of it.

"Were you born like that?" Henry asked, cocking his head to the side.

On the inside Yerim held in a stereotypical high-pitched squeal that a girl would have whenever they saw something cute. "I sprained it badly and had to get surgery. It's healed well over the years but it still is relatively weak."

"Oh!" the chubby cheeked Canadian snapped his fingers. "That's why you disappeared during training years ago?"

The dancer was about to nod but instead blurted out, "You remember that?"

Turning red Henry twisted his head around to look back out the window, focusing on the sites they drove by.

Yerim couldn't help the small smile that graced her face.

Soon the numerous vans carrying SM artists arrived at the Tokyo Dome. Since all the groups members were scattered in different vans it became even more stressful, having to wait for an entire group to show up in order for them to go through the needed run throughs. Both tour dates have identical set lists so the run throughs were that much more serious.

It took an extra half hour for J-Min (the first performer) to be able to get on stage, Legend found themselves having to hang out in their waiting room for their turn. Their first song was number seventeen so it would be aw
