Xiao’s band had now existed for over a half year and Xiao took every opportunity he had to promote his band. Any and every social media Xiao was on. Even if he was no social media expert he tried his best to promote his band on social medias. He had even recently joined the social platform called tik tok, where he had now grown rather semi-famous with his 630k followers, though his band still wasn’t doing the best, his tik tok was. One social media he hadn’t dared to step foot in yet though was youtube, even if the social media platform was big and gave many opportunities to promote his band, he just hadn’t dared doing it yet.
Lucky for him, he had friends on the platform, and one of them? Felix. Felix and he were around the same age and had been friends for some time now, and Xiao was more than happy to join Felix in a video. Today’s video? Something spicy challenge. Xiao looked at Felix as the other made his introduction, Xiao was fascinated, and then when Felix finished he began looking at the camera. Slowly he waited for Felix to introduce him, and as Felix was done introducing him he let out a smile and a “hi” as he waved at the camera.

hearing xiao ready to start, felix pulls his lips into a big grin. “okay then, xiao, while i go set up our first meal, why don’t you tell the viewers a little bit about yourself?” he honestly feels a little like a variety show host, except the both of them aren’t in a variety show and felix isn’t qualified enough to be a host for a show. “don’t forget to talk about your band!” they’re just filming a silly little youtube video, but what matters is that they’re having fun.
as xiao speaks, felix pulls up the bag of spicy chips. he picks up the scissors and opens it up. he checks the bag—alright, it has a mild level. it’s the perfect one to start of with. once xiao finishes speaking, he brings the bag to the camera for the viewers to see.
“okay xiao, say aaaaaah.” he takes out a chip and dangles it in front of xiao, a cheeky grin on his face. felix isn’t going to be the first person to eat something spicy in this video. as much as he thinks spicy food is intriguing, he isn’t very good at handling spicy food.
If there’s one thing Xiao likes then it’s his band, Xiao loves his friends and his band consists of friends, perhaps that’s why Xiao loves his band so much, because it gives him an opportunity to hang out with friends while doing something he loves.
When Xiao says he doesn’t care at all about becoming successful it’s a lie, sure Xiao more cares about just being with his band, but if he wants to continue the band they’ll have to have some kind of success. That’s a fact. That’s why Xiao promotes them so much, so that they’ll have a chance of succeeding and staying together.
Xiao nods when Felix tells him to introduce himself and then he begins talking. “Hey everybody!” he waves “I am Lee Dongyeol, mostly refereed to as Xiao. I play soccer and I am in a band” he takes a breath “We’re calles PHOAN, we consist of five members, me” he puts a hand on his chest “the bass player and singer, and” he quickly goes over the other members “we actually recently released a song called “Who Is This Song For?” and we’re planning on releasing an album this year! Please check us out” Xiao finishes with a smile.
Xiao stares at Felix as the other tells him to say ah, however Xiao just does as the other tells him to. “Oh it’s quite delicious” Xiao says.
