Korean
biggest and greatest boyband, BEAST (B2ST), was planning to held an event
called “HANGOUTS ON AIR WITH BEAST ON GOOGLE+” to celebrate their 1000th day on
July 11, 00:00 Korean Time (KST). I wasn’t aware about this event until I
received an email on July 9, 23:37 Indonesian Time , containing informations
and a form to win a chance to be invited to BEAST Google+ group to join the
HANGOUTS. I really love and adore BEAST, going crazy over them, so I wasn’t
hesitate to fill the form. To be honest, I didn’t even expect that I would win,
I mean, come on, BEAST is a very popular boyband, they have a giant amount of
fans around the world. I didn’t even wish to win, because I know that there
would be too many participants whose trying to win the thing.
So
the next day, July 10, I did my daily routine as usual. Then around 14:00
Indonesian Time, I received a call from +85xxxxxxxxx, when I picked up the
call, after a fine greeting, the lady on the other line was straightly remind
me to “log in to Google+ tonight at
22:00 KST”. I was pretty dumb for forgetting that I participate on the thing.
When I remembered, I was again so pretty dumb, silly, and stupid, by asking the
lady (unnie) “Wait, wait, so I won?” and unnie answered “Yes, that’s why I
called”. Oh My God. That was the only thing I kept saying. Unnie said “That’s
okay. Calm down, everything is okay, everything is going to be okay.” . Well, I
was suffocated, seriously, I’m not being overacting, that was how I exactly felt
while I was talking with unnie. I couldn’t breath properly, stattered a couple
times. Unnie was talking evertyhing about the event. She kept reminding me that
the broadcast would start at 00:00 KST (22:00 Indonesian Time), but I have to
log in to Google+ at 22:00 KST (20:00 Indonesian Time). She also told me to
download the video call plug-in in order to join the broadcast. Right after she
hang up the phone, I was crying, like seriously, I was crying so hard, made my
mom freaked out. I was don’t know what to do, thinking that it was just a
beautiful dream and I would wake up in the end. But it wasn’t. It was real. It
was freaking real. I would join the broadcast. I would see BEAST, I would talk
with them.
For
me, BEAST was so far. BEAST was unreachable. I live in Indonesia, they live in
Korea. Even our language is different.And I don’t have a huge amount of money,
because so far I don’t have a job which I can count on. So watching their
concert is still my dream. By winning this thing, I was so close to BEAST, I
was so damn close. My chance to greet them. Maybe my only chance until I found
a way to go to their concert or show.
I
was high, high in the sky, just by imagining I great BEAST. I love the 6 of
them, but who I love the most is Yang Yoseob. Just by imagining greeting Yoseob
and the rest of BEAST members, got me high.
When
I finally calmed down, I called my cousin (her name is Devi) who also love
BEAST to death, wanted her to join the broadcast with me, I didn’t have a
thought of do the broadcast alone. I was choking on my own words when I told
her about the whole thing (I sent her a text once I read the email, but she
said she didn’t receive any text from me). She was also shocked. Gosh, this is
what we always wanted, meeting and greeting BEAST. The next hour, she arrived at my house,
then we were crying together.
Exactly
at 22:10 KST, unnie called me again informing me that her and her team from
Cube was already preparing the broadcast, so it would take awhile until they
invited me to join the broadcast. After
around 15 minutes waiting, she called again, informed me that I was already
invited to join the HANGOUTS group, then she tutored me until I finally in to
the broadcast, and greet unnie face to face. Unnie was trying to contact the
other winner, so while she doing that, she left me hanging. Me and my cousin
amazed just by seeing the broadcast room, a room with CUBE ENTERTAINMENT
painted on its wall. Amazed by an empty couch which BEAST would seat on it.
Amazed by how busy the team preparing the broadcast. Both me and my cousin was
trying our best to hold our tears.
Not
too long after I was in, my internet connection start to messed up. We kept
disconnected, in and out the broadcast group. The picture kept breaking ,
continuedly pausing because of the terrible connection. Me and Devi was so
worried and scared, afraid that we wouldn’t able to join the broadcast.
What
we scared the most was finally happened. Unnie called me, she said that she had
to cancel my broadcast because my connection was so terrible, inconvenient the
others. I was crying, unnie kept saying sorry to me, even promised to send me
something to replace the cancelled broadcast. But i was just couldn’t accept
that. I kept begging to her to give me another chance, I said to her that I
really wanted to meet BEAST, to join the broadcast. Unnie was so so soooo nice
by saying “Okay Rosa, I’d give you one last chance,”
After
she hang up the call, after i already in again, Unnie told the winners, five of
us, that they were having a technical issue, so they would close the group and
create new one, she said they would reinvite us again.
After
waiting for a couple minutes, I received an invitation to join the new group. I
was in smoothly, but I only saw Helena. The other 3 haven’t in yet. Me and Devi
saw a different side of the room, it was only an empty couch with a wall right
at the back of it. No one was in front of the camera. But then, the connection
start to messed up again, the picture we watched was kept breaking, continuedly
breaking, and stattered. We were so afraid, because the picture stopped moving.
When it worked, we suddenly saw Dongwoon oppa was already sat on the corner of
the couch, I didn’t know whether Dongwoon oppa realizing that me, Devi, and
Helena was there, because He was looking down, maybe he was busy with his phone
or something. What I know is I went crazy, I shouted at him like “Dongwoon
oppa! Dongwoon oppa!” while Helena went speeechless covering her mouth with her
hand. Devi told me that it was Hyunseung oppa, not Dongwoon oppa, so we argued
like “It’s not Dongwoon! It’s Hyunseung! No! Look at him closely, it’s Dongwoon!
No, It’s Hyunseung! No, it’s Dongwoon! No,it’s Hyunseung! Dongwoon! Hyunseung!”
Suddenly,
out of nowhere, Doojoon appeared, backing Dongwoon. He said “Annyeong,” and
waving his hand. Oh. My. God. It felt like something was pulled out of us, I
turned our head to the screen, screaming madly “Ahhh! Doojoon oppa! Doojoon
oppa! Annyeong Doojoon oppa!” We went mad waving and shouting at Doojoon while
Helena went speechless, covering her mouth with her hand. But then the picture
pausing again, and the next thing we saw was unnie, and the other 3 winners
were already in. Unnie said that the broadcast was about to start. She said “The
broadcast is about to start, so I want you guys to introduce yourself first,
starts with Helena then Rosa, and next,” So Helena start it, with no pause
after Helena was done, I said “Annyeong, I’m Rosa and this is my cousin Devi,
we’re from Indonesia and we really love BEAST!” then BANG! the connection was
disconnected. When it connected, I tried to log in to the group, but they
blocked me already. That was when our hearts broken into pieces.
We
kept trying to log in tho the group though we know it was useless. We were
crying, crying hard, even harder compared to when we found out that we would
join the broadcast.
We
were so close to BEAST. We were so CLOSE. I was so close to Yoseob. Devi was so
close to Gikwang. But what could we do? Nothing.
We
didn’t even able to watch the broadcast on Youtube because the connection still
kept messing up.
We
logged in to our twitter, expressing our happines and sadness there. Happy
because we greeted by Yoon Doojoon, the leader of the group, and saw Son
Dongwoon, the maknae of the group.
My
mom talked to me and Devi, saying that we are not destined to meet and greet
BEAST yet. Our destiny so far was only greeted by Doojoon and saw Dongwoon. She
told us that God knows that how much I love Yoseob, how much Devi loves
Gikwang, that was why God delayed to granting our wish. Mom told us that she
was very certain that we would meet and greet Yoseob and Gikwang and the rest
of BEAST member in the future, that God would give us a wonderful time, a
perfect time to grant our wish. Somehow, it calmed us down. However, we had to
be thankful for seeing Doojoon and Dongwoon.
We
didn’t sleep at all that night. We spent hours ‘til morning talking about how
precious our moment with Doojoon and Dongwonn. When I logged in to my twitter,
it was a chaos. Mention flooded by people asking me whether it was me a fans
from Indonesia whose Dongwoon mentioned about. I was shocked. Dongwoon
mentioned me? What is this again?
I
didn’t watch the broadcast, so I searched the video on youtube as soon as I
found out about the news. At around minute 10:15-10:50, we could hear that
Dongwoon saying “Indonesia” followed by mentioning my name as “Rosayanie”
followed by Doojoon saying “terrible connection”. We also could see those 5
papers on the table which I certain was a printed forms of us 5. And my paper
was on the righr corner, in front of Dongwoon.
God.
Dongwoon mentioned my name. It felt like, well, heaven, hearing my name come
out from his mouth.
I
cried again. I didn’t know whether I was happy, or sad. But I felt so confuse,
feeling happy, sad, excited, regret, at the same time.
Both
me and Devi couldn’t asleep, but we both trying to. And everytime I closed my
eyes, all I could see was Doojoon’s sincere smile. I could hear him saying “Annyeong”,
I could hear Dongwoon’s voice saying my name. Somehow we both fell asleep, i
guess it was 6 in the morning, and woke up at 8. We only able to sleep to hours
because of Doojon’s face filling our minds, because of Dongwoon’s voice echoing
in my mind.
I
logged in again to twitter, and found that someone told me I was captured on a
picture, with Dongwoon looking at us at the screen, and the picture was
uploaded at BEAST official fancafe. She also told me that BEAST was answer my
question too. She kind of guessed that Hyunseung answered it. Again, for the
many times, we shocked. What is this again? So we googled about that fancafe,
after a couple minutes, we found it. We saw a picture of Dongwoon looking at
the screen, our face was on the screen. Our jaws dropped, our hearts stopped.
Though we didn’t know, we didn’t realize when did Dongwoon looked at us, we
felt happy. Really happy. Not only Doojoon who saw us, who noticed us, but
Dongwoon too, and maybe the rest of BEAST member. We just didn’t know it.
In
that picture, me and my cousin was also looking at the screen, but we bet, when
Dongwoon looking at us, the connection was messed up, it happened when our
screen froze. That was why we didn’t know about Dongwoon looking at us.
Then
again, I found my profile at BEAST Google+ page. It said that I was hangout with
another 4 people with BEAST. They still count me as a winner though in the end
I wasn’t able to join the broadcast. Oh God.
Oh
Gosh I don’t know what to say anymore. I’m happy. Really happy.
So,
as a final word, I would like to say thank you, very much, to the team, to
everyone who already prepared for this event. Thank you for Unnie, I didn’t
know your name, sorry for not asking it L. Thank you
Unnie, for already gave me a chance, for being patient with me and my
connection, thank you and your team for your hard for all 5 of us. And thank
