Mel departed and everyone drifted off to do their own last minute things. After Noh completed his tasks, he want to find Phun. He easily found him in the kitchen and he was cooking no less. It smelled good too.

"What's for dinner?"

"Shrimp pasta. It's almost done," Phun gave Noh a quick smile. 

Noh set the table for everyone. With Phun cooking, everyone would soon show up. He wasn't wrong. Within 20 minutes, everyone was at the table, talking and eating.

By 10 the edited interview was posted right next to the one that was done a couple of years ago. Many watched it that night including some of the media. They found the first interview particularly enlightening.

At midnight exactly, the music video for Will You Be Mine was posted. Many watched and commented. Most were international fans since the timing of the drop was perfect for them.

This time around, Elevation took their album drop quietly. They woke in the morning with Phun filming them having a quiet breakfast before getting contacted by their manager to be advised about their schedule. They were also updated about the video. It was 7am and Will You Be Mine already had a record breaking 10 million views in 7 hours. Not just that, they were trending in several countries.

The music video had been shot like a memory reel where the band walked through and played music in the background. Noh had actually hired the current Friday College marching band to play the drum beats and be the actors/models in the song. They were willing boys since the legend of Noh was still a big part of the school. Per had talked about Noh constantly to the point where the others felt they knew him and his stories had been embellished and passed on.

While Secret never exposed any important details of the video. He would film the best behind the scenes moments and post them. The fans were well fed by him and so were highly anticipating the album and the video.

"10 million in 7 hours? That's crazy!" Ohm was so shocked that he went to see the views himself and Phun immediately filmed his reaction to not only the number of views but to the actual video. They had seen a completed version of it, but not one this polished. Ohm gaped, exclaimed, sighed and even shed a tear at how impressed he was. The others just watched him then slowly edged away.

"Have you guys seen it?!" He spun in his seat and gave the others his squinty look.

"When I woke up this morning," Flex confirmed as the others nodded.

"Oh. Shouldn't we have waited and had a reaction party?"

"You were the reaction party." Noh said cheekily and blew Ohm a kiss. Phun cut the clip right there and posted it with the caption One Man Reaction Party. Within seconds, people were retweeting and responding with comments.

"All right. It's time to get ready. We should have 5 interviews this morning and our first live tonight on Thai Music Nation." Noh reminded everyone.

Phun did not have work that day, however he would not be joining the interview sessions like he had done with Sempai Mel. He felt it was important to restrict his appearances and pick and choose the people he appeared in front of. Sempai Mel was an important link to the fans and a well known underground personality. She catered to a wide audience and had numerous international fans keeping track of her posts. She was not the kind of person you wanted to offend. Regular Thai media though, that was another matter.

The official press conference was set up for 1pm. This was actually because they were not an important band yet in the eyes of Thai media. The earlier the conference, the more important you were. This was common knowledge.
