Dodger Stadium, Los Angeles.
Today, the IRIX Cup finals were being held here. Check latest chapters at 𝗇𝗈𝗏𝖾𝗅•𝖿𝗂𝗋𝖾•𝗇𝖾𝗍
As much preparation and hype had gone into it, the event wasn’t only streamed live on the official IRIX website, but also on YouTube.
[Every time I see IRIX my stomach fucking hurts, I had to quit IRIX, but The Dawn dragged me back to watch this...]
[I’m secretly watching at work and suddenly everyone’s asking if I’m into IRIX, all excited.]
[Salary thief Noeul vibes

└LOOLLLLLLL Damn, all of them secretly watching at work is hilarious LOOOLLL ㅠ]
The opening for the IRIX Cup finals was scheduled to begin at 6 p.m. local LA time. In Korea, students were on vacation, either still sleeping in or lazing around, while office workers were deep into lunch debates or work hours.
The Noeul office workers skillfully hid their phones with mirrors to sneak the livestream, while students watched with ease.
[A new sighting post went up today;;]
[Hair-makeup-coord legends
The Dawn’s hair-makeup-coord team is seriously unrivaled among Noeul. Even if tastes differ, they never fail HAHAHA This time even the salon staff came along, I heard.
└Yep yep LOOOL Seriously, I’m so grateful.
└└Or maybe it’s just that the boys’ faces are lethal on their own...]
While social media buzzed with chatter and anticipation, the stadium finally went dark, and through CG, IRIX Cup characters appeared from all sides, /N_o_v_e_l_i_g_h_t/ unleashing their skills.
[Holy shit what’s this scale—yep, this is America.]
[LOOOLLLLLLL Insane. Damn, this is so cool. I’m getting even more hyped for The Dawn’s stage, fuck.]
The ground cracked apart and scattered, and then a dark city nightscape descended onto Dodger Stadium.
[What what what what what what]
[Is it starting now? Are The Dawn coming out??]
[LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL Listen to the foreigners screaming LOOLLL Such good reactions LOOOLLL]
[This is gonna spawn a mountain of reaction vids HAHAHAHA]
Recently, thanks to their appearances on variety shows, The Dawn’s overseas recognition had skyrocketed.
Noeul felt proud watching the live broadcast’s chat fly by endlessly in multiple languages.
Just then, as the glowing white Korean signs glitched with static, narration echoed out.
【Hello? Are you there?】
The neon billboards that had been the only light in the black night flickered, wrapped in neon glow, and the world shifted.
Multi-colored smoke burst outward, and a giant screen wall split open as six motorcycles roared out.
[Ohㅏ holy shit, that’s fucking amazing]
[What the hell;;; Did they pour an insane budget into this...]
[Wait?? Is this a music award show or something?? LOOOLLLL]
As the motorcycles shot out in every direction, the camera shifted with them, showing off a dazzling moto show.
Before long, the motorcycles gathered again at the center of the stage, circling round and round before lining up side by side, facing one another.
Then the floor between them opened, and a lift rose up.
【Do you wanna be connected?】
On the bike sat a man in lace-up boots to the ankle, skintight leather pants, a black rash guard topped with blue techwear, red gloves on his hands, and a helmet hiding his face.
At the same time, the other motorcycles lined up on stage slowly sank below.
And then, the lone ride began.
[Wow, it really looks like he’s racing.]
