So I didn’t arrive at the theater until 6PM but the doors hadn’t opened yet. Apparently I missed these japanese girls giving out free pentasticks so I didn’t get one. But I fought my way through and got a CNBlue poster but I missed the FT Island post cards and CNB bracelets.
Then I met up with Lauren and we waited to get through. And waited. And waited. And then we got into the venue. And I got the wrong seat at first so I was in the orchestra area in row A but I was supposed to be in the pit, row one. I figured it out eventually when some kid sat in the orchestra seat.
So I was in the spot directly in front of where Jonghyun and Jonghun would be. Which meant I’d see very little of Seunghyun.
Anyway, more waiting. Then it started.
CN Blue was a bit confusing since I’m not much of a Boice compared to a Primadonna so I didn’t know all the lyrics. There was one song I didn’t even know but that’s fine. At the beginning of their performance, I made eye contact with Jonghyun for like a whole 5 seconds. And with Yonghwa for a flash too. Yonghwa kept flirting with Jungshin throughout the entire performance too… Nothing else exciting happened except at the end when Minhyuk wandered over to us. He dropped his drumstick in front of me and just walked off, I’m not sure what happened to the other one.
Then FT Island came and stuff. That was just… amazing. I can’t even describe anything. They are all so perfect. I tried to find a single flaw on Jonghun and it was just impossible. So I interacted with Jaejin a lot even though he was supposed to be on the other side of the stage, he wandered a lot. With Jaejin, the first thing he did was point at me and mouth “You!” right before Bing Bing Bing when Hongki was talking about twisting. Then, another time, he came to the center and caught my eye for a moment and made the cutest smile before doing the signature pout he had all night. And, then he did some stupid derp face the next time he came over to my side. But Seunghyun pretty much stayed glued to the spot like Jonghun. None of them took their shirts off today, Minhwan came close, but Hongki kept lifting up his shirt and it was really loose so it went up when he jumped. And he jumped often.
I touched Jonghun’s guitar. And his calf. And his shoe. And his hand.
But I think he got upset when that messed up his strumming because he walked away after that. He was really shy and everything especially when dancing during Bing Bing Bing. But we shouted his name like a million times and he didn’t even glance up. I’m not even sure if he plays anything in those red earphones but he was like deaf.
At the end, Minhyuk piggybacked Minhwan, which I thought was absolutely adorable. Then they all did stuff in the center part of the stage but Jaejin strayed a bit and came and held my hand before everyone else noticed him. I touched his wrist/jacket again when he moved on to the other fans. Then they pretty much just left. Jonghyun waved to me on his way out and yeah.
There was so much to focus on that I realize I hadn’t paid much attention to the music. But I was happy to hear that Hongki’s voice didn’t sound strained.
