Chapter 130: Enjoy This Moment

n a month away, sleeping in my own bed felt a little strange.…………One night passed, and the next morning, sunshine streamed through the window directly into the room.Chí Jǐngyuán woke up sleepily from..."Ah ah..."

The close-up shots of Ji's shooting action were projected onto the big screen throughout, causing the cheers from the fans to increase by a decibel. Countless fans felt that their souls had been touched deep within, directly exploding the atmosphere.

EXO's win caused all the artists, regardless of seniority, to stand up and applaud. The EXO members sitting in the back row stood up with smiles on their faces and bowed repeatedly as a gesture of gratitude. Several members clasped their hands together in front of their chests, appearing very thankful and polite.

As seniors in the company, Girls' Generation's two older sisters naturally had to be more enthusiastic than others. They stood aside and laughed happily, warmly congratulating every passing XO member with cheers and clapping, occasionally giving a thumbs up.

Ji-won followed the members from behind, slowly moving forward from the back row. As he passed by Jin Hyo-yeon and Seo Hyun, the two seniors proactively raised their hands to greet him. Ji-won shook their hands one by one, and Hyo-yeon even patted his shoulder affectionately and shouted loudly, "Congratulations to you all, Ji-won! You guys are amazing! Zzzang!"

"Good to see you."

Chi Jingyuan bowed his head in thanks. As they clapped, he suddenly remembered a relative and turned to see Zheng Engdi a few steps away, smiling broadly at him and clapping enthusiastically.

Ji Jingyuan chuckled and walked over in two steps. He also gave Jung Eun-ji a high five, nodded at her smug smile, then quickly followed the members who were already heading towards the stage.

At this time, the narrator also began to introduce the award-winning group EXO to everyone:

"At the 2013 Mnet Asian Music Awards, the Album of the Year award went to EXO."

"EXO dominated 2013 with the most album sales through "Wolf" and "Growl," becoming a turning point in the market and driving the overall industry forward."

Under the chorus of "Roar," EXO had long since shed their previous urgency and anxiety. As they marched towards the main stage, each member walked with a swaggering gait, radiating excitement and exhilaration, along with an undeniable sense of confidence.

Twelve people arrived by the awards presenter's side. Gao Xiu, who had just looked very annoying because he deliberately dragged out the time to build suspense, now seemed much more handsome. He truly is a popular actor with excellent acting skills.

The crowd and Gao Xiu bowed to show respect, then Captain Kim Jun-myeon received the heavy trophy from them.

As the accompaniment music gradually faded, making way for her acceptance speech, the cheers from the fans remained just as loud.

"After winning the Best Asian Newcomer Award on this stage last year, I am incredibly honored to receive the Album of the Year Award this year. Thank you all so much."

Kim Jun-myeon adjusted the microphone, supporting it with one hand and holding a trophy in the other. He took a deep breath to calm his excitement before beginning his acceptance speech:

“First of all, thank you to President Lee Hyo-man, President Kim Young-min, President Nam, President Jeong, and everyone in ** Town family. And a big thanks to our managers and our beloved members…”

Speaking of this, he was getting choked up, but he still tried his best to control his emotions: “And also our parents, and all the EXO fans around the world, we are truly grateful.”

Thank everyone, finally Kim Jun Myeon paused for a moment, turned his head to look at the side of the team and mentioned Park Jeong-seon:

"Last, I want to thank our youngest member Yuan. He created the song “Roaring” which is deeply meaningful to us. During that time, he was also in charge of choreography and album production, it was truly very hard work. In fact, all of us brothers saw it with our own eyes..."

Speaking of this, Kim Jun-myeon's emotions seemed a little out of control. He couldn't say anymore, so he pursed his lips and handed the microphone to the side, signaling for it to be passed to Jiyeong.

At the same time, hearing Kim Jun Myeon's last words, several members closer to Lee Ji-won, including Wu Shihun, Do Kyung Soo, and Kim Jin Suk, walked up directly, hugged him tightly, and kept patting his back. The few people embraced each other on stage.

"Ah ah..."

And the audience in the stands joined in, many voices breaking with sobs. In that moment, there was a deep sense of empathy between the fans and EXO on stage.

A few embraces lasted for several seconds before parting. Ji Jingyuan gently patted a few members who were somewhat excited, then took the microphone from Kim Junmyeon. Without speaking directly, he was clearly moved by the situation. He lifted his head and blinked hard, shaking his head to prevent the glistening tears from falling.

After a moment's thought, he said:

"Inside…"

He had just opened his mouth when he was interrupted by screams from the audience. He could only pause for a few seconds, waiting for the fans' excitement to subside a little before continuing:

"Actually, Jun-Mien gege is wrong about this point. It's not just me who has been working hard; in fact, all the members are really tired. Everyone put in a lot of effort for this retrospective, and I only did what I could."

Although that period was really tough, because we had each other's company all the time, comforting and encouraging one another, even when we were exhausted, it didn't feel too bad. And now that we've achieved our goal, it makes us realize that all the hard work was definitely worth it.

Pool Jingyuan's words not only caused cheers from the fans, but also touched the hearts of the members. A few people pursed their lips, a little moved, and patted his shoulder.

Whenever we receive an award, we never truly feel happy because we always think we don't deserve it. But now, I remember a phrase a friend once told me, and I want to share it with my brothers and all the fans.

"That is... Enjoy this moment."

"What time is it now"

He didn't wear a watch. He looked around, grabbed Han's wrist next to him, and looked at his watch while saying, "November 22, 2013, Friday, 11:43:33 AM."

As Ji Jingyuan announced this time, along with the fans in the audience, several members beside him also exclaimed “ah!”, expressing their inner excitement.

"Enjoy this moment, we will never forget this moment, it's truly happy."

"We will keep working hard to become the best EXO, thank you everyone."

Ji Jingyuan's emotions were clearly excited at this moment, saying many things he wouldn't usually express. He looked at the fans below who were screaming crazily for him, a knowing smile appeared on his face. After waving at them, he handed the microphone to the member beside him.

In this kind of situation, everyone certainly has a lot to say.

Unlike the last MMA time which was quite tight, this grand prize is a true final finale, only it wasn't dragged out too long, so there was plenty of time for acceptance speeches.

"Thank you, Junlong ge, thank you, Tian ge, thank you, Zhenmei jie, thank you, You shan jie..." Park Chan-hyeol thanked all of EXO's assistants and staff members.

"Thank you to our parents for making us so handsome..." This is Bian Chenxian.

"Thank you to everyone who has helped us..." Kai stammered for a long time before finally managing to say something.

“…………”

Because of today's grand prize, and the emotional accumulation of this period bursting forth, coupled with the touching music playing inside the venue at this time, each member looked to be in high spirits.

They all took the microphone and expressed their innermost feelings. Every time a member spoke, it was met with cheers.

After some back and forth, the microphone was once again in Chi Jingyuan's hands. Jin Junmian gestured for him to start the foreign language segment.

Whenever EXO wins a major award, they thank their fans in multiple languages. Pool Kyung-won is considered the group's language expert and he takes charge of the English thank you speech during these moments.

Chi Jingyuan took the microphone, blinked his eyes without speaking directly, but after thinking for a moment, he smiled and said, "Hello everyone."

"Wow..."

As soon as he opened his mouth, the crowd erupted because Ci Jingyuan was speaking Cantonese at that moment.

Before, all their speeches were in Peninsula language. Most of the local fans in the audience couldn't understand, and their cheers were just following the atmosphere on stage. At this moment, suddenly hearing a familiar language, and it was spoken very well and authentically, couldn't help but feel touched with gratitude.

Chi Jingyuan has always been gifted with language, and Cantonese is something he specifically learned for this occasion.

"Thank you very much to all the friends who support us, and thank you again to all the fans, you are the best."

Although the response was enthusiastic, Chi Jingyuan didn't say too much. He then repeated his thanks in English and passed the microphone back.

He would also say, that as long as there are members from Xia Guo on the team, he doesn't need to step in and take over.

The most interesting thing was Tao's speech.

Tao cried again, wiping his face and holding the microphone: "Thank you to all the fans, and to Lee Soo Man."

He stopped there and didn't say anything more. The few members of Xia Wen who understood were all looking at Tao, who was calling out Lee Soo-man's name in surprise, thinking something might happen.

Unexpectedly, after a few seconds, Tao added another sentence at the back, "Teacher," leaving Chi Jingyuan and Luhan speechless. They turned their heads, not knowing what to say.

After all the words were said, Kim Jun-myeon did a total of:

"Thank you so much everyone, we are EXO."

With a unison “we are one,” twelve people bowed deeply together, the scene frozen in time.
