Quick review of Eden's first concert

- This concert confirmed that Suh Hyun-Woo and Eden are definitely distinct entities lol Everyone, you must check out Eden's dance moves someday AHAHAHA I laughed so hard 😂

Updat𝓮d from freewēbnoveℓ.com.

└ kimgori @kim_gori_55

- But it was hilarious lmao It was my first time seeing our graceful idol dance so stiffly 😂

- Eden really sings so well. I was moved to tears.

- The emotions conveyed through his songs and his expressiveness were peak

└ kimgori @kim_gori_55

- When's the concert DVD coming out? I hope it includes the surprise guest performance, but they probably won't... Yeah, right, yeah

- The encore alone felt like it lasted almost an hour. Eden seemed to really enjoy himself

The surprise guest really made a scene at the concert 😂

"Hehe." Kim Go-Ri let out a silly laugh as she briefly reviewed the concert on BlueBird. She was at a cafe near the concert venue, laughing alone with a cup of coffee next to her. She probably looked odd to onlookers, but it was fine. All the other patrons in the cafe were just as quirky as her.

Suh Hyun-Woo, or rather, Eden's first concert had been very satisfying. The setlist was great, and since he was a new artist with few songs, the frequent fun events were a nice bonus.

Had anyone ever seen Suh Hyun-Woo talk this much at a fan meeting or a Chronos concert?

Though this was Suh Hyun-Woo imitating Eden, it had still been a blissful time for Kim Go-Ri because Suh Hyun-Woo was her favorite member in Chronos.

As Kim Go-Ri enjoyed the afterglow of other fans' concert reviews, a notification popped up from Eden's official account.

"Already up?" Kim Go-Ri smiled a bit more and clicked on the notification popup.

Eden @Eden_official

Today was so much fun! I'm a bit embarrassed by how excited I appeared, hehe. My dance moves will remain a secret between you guys and me, okay? Pinky promise~ I was truly happy. I hope you all had a joyful time too. Be safe on your way home and let me know when you arrive! #Eden #ThanksForTheFirstConcert #EdenArrivalNotification

"Gosh, he is freaking adorable."

Not just Kim Go-Ri, but most of the cafe's customers were happily reading the same post. Of course, the real-time trend #EdenArrivalNotification would soon go up due to Eden's post.

"Ah, it was so good. Alright, time to go."

Kim Go-Ri calmed down, tidied up the table, and prepared to leave. Happy as she was, concerts were physically draining. She hadn't expected to be as exhausted from a ballad singer's concert as she would be from a Chronos concert. It was all because of Eden's dance event and the surprise guest.

Once on the bus heading home, Kim Go-Ri fell asleep instantly. Upon arriving home, she made a post with the arrival hashtag that Suh Hyun-Woo could see.

kimgori @kim_gori_55

Never thought I'd get this exhausted at a ballad singer's concert... It was such a fun and exhilarating concert, Eden... Love you, and looking forward to more thrilling mischief... hehe #EdenArrivalNotification

Then she lay in bed and started scouring for any bits she missed while asleep on the bus. With so many artists linked to Eden, there were a lot of places to check, from the Chronos and High Tension members who attended the concert, to Producer Reina and Sequence. Although there was no mention of him, surely Kun-Ho had been there, along with the guest performers and numerous staff members' social media.

Whether on BlueBird or Stagram, digging around would likely yield quite a few tidbits.

"Wow, I’m so sleepy." Kim Go-Ri yawned and mindlessly scrolled through the official accounts. As more tidbits surfaced, her sleepiness dissipated.

The corners of her mouth lifted again, her cheeks reaching sky-high. "As expected of our Yoo-Joon. Knew he'd post quickly."

Was there any other Chronos member who understood the Rings as well as Goh Yoo-Joon did?

Kim Go-Ri had initially posted the review hiding the identity of the concert’s surprise guest, though other fans had already revealed it. Perhaps it hadn’t been necessary to hide Yoo-Joon’s appearance. A bold picture had already been posted on the Chronos official account.

Chronos @chronos_official

So thrilled to have been a part of our beloved Eden’s concert! I’m grateful he spontaneously agreed to have me on stage. As his senior, I'm quite proud of him~

#Yoo-Joon #EdenArrivalNotification

Chronos @chronos_official

Absolutely loved Eden’s first concert! It was our first time meeting him, but we felt incredibly close to him, almost as if he was another Chronos member? Whoa, is this what destiny feels like?

#Yoo-Joon #Yoon-Chan #Jin-Sung

The excitement of Eden's concert was palpable not just among fans, but also among numerous celebrities. Beyond the regular crowd from High Tension and Sequence, it seemed like a whole host of other celebrities had flocked to witness Eden's live performance.

As Kim Go-Ri scrolled through countless accounts, hoping to catch even a hint of something noteworthy about Eden, sleep began to stealthily reclaim her.

Sadly, there wasn't much gossip to scoop up. While the main accounts of High Tension and Chronos at least snagged a few snaps of Suh Hyun-Woo, other accounts offered nothing more than polite applause for the concert.

"Okay! Time to hit the hay... I'm way too hyped up."

Kim Go-Ri's sister, Kim Hyang-Su, who had been trying to sleep on the opposite bed, finally lost her patience and yelled at Kim Go-Ri. She flipped off the light switch in exasperation. The incessant chattering and grumbling had been a continuous disruption of her sleep.

"Ah! You were just like this when you returned from the Allure concert."

"So what? Go to sleep."

"Ah, seriously! Fine!" Kim Go-Ri muttered under her breath and reluctantly turned off her phone.

She had checked Reina's account earlier. The concert crew and performers had gone off to a dinner, likely ending any chance of further news for the night.

Then, she heard a sudden ding! Another alert on Kim Go-Ri's phone made her grab it reflexively. It was a notification from BlueBird.

‘Oh my gosh!’

"Whoa..." Kim Go-Ri gawked at the new post by Reina and, sneaking a look at her sister, quietly got out of bed.

"Where are you off to, Kim Go-Ri?"

"...None of your business. You’re not sleeping yet? Reina's post has a video. I won't be able to sleep if I don't watch it right now."

Kim Go-Ri left the room to play the video. Onscreen, Suh Hyun-Woo was visibly emotional. Tears were streaming down his flushed face.

"Hyun-Woo, you realize this video is going up on social media, right?"

"Social media? Yes..."

Suh Hyun-Woo was gently dabbing at his eyes with a tissue handed to him by Kun-Ho, while giggles from Reina and others could be heard in the background.

Kim Go-Ri laughed along too. Suh Hyun-Woo was clearly tipsy, and he continued to affirmatively respond to everything. According to the members, he tended to agree with whatever was said when he was drunk, and was only able to say 'yes.'

"Say something to the fans watching this," Reina prompted him as she extended the phone toward Suh Hyun-Woo. Receiving no response, she pointed the camera at herself. "Everyone, Eden is so overwhelmed by the concert he's in tears. He must have been nervous."

"He’s not nervous. He’s overwhelmed with joy."

Kun-Ho took over the phone from Reina and aimed it at Suh Hyun-Woo, who had now removed the tissue from his eyes and was gazing wet-eyed into the camera.

"Thank you, everyone... I never imagined I could be loved this much..."

"Pfft." Kim Go-Ri burst into laughter, unable to hold it back. Even though he was drunk and still expressing his gratitude, Suh Hyun-Woo tried to convey his feelings. His voice was definitely cracking. After the video ended, she scrolled through the responses.

Chronos @chronos_official

AHAHAHA! What's he up to? The drunk rescue squad is on its way!

It was obvious that Goh Yoo-Joon had commented on Reina's post.

"I’m dying from laughing so much, hahahaha!"

Kim Go-Ri laughed heartily and switched on the living room light. Knowing that the entire group was heading out to retrieve Suh Hyun-Woo suggested that the Chronos account would soon feature their rescue operation. Goh Yoo-Joon was always in tune with what the Rings desired, so he would surely deliver the news.

The drowsiness that had been sneaking up on her was now completely forgotten. Kim Go-Ri eagerly awaited the post confirming the members had safely collected Suh Hyun-Woo, all the while soaking in the afterglow of the concert.

Shortly thereafter, the anticipated post indeed appeared.

Chronos @chronos_official

Got here to collect the drunkard. But looks like we got caught too. Ready to feast!

They had intended to just pick up Suh Hyun-Woo, but ended up joining the dinner thanks to their seniors’ persistent requests.
