[Exclusive Preview/Legendary Embarrassing Moment: Check Out This Male Idol]
I quietly turned off YouTube after watching the video in the practice room. As I did, a message popped up on the screen.
Seo Hojin: hyung hyung hyung hyung
Whats going on?
Seo Hojin: Im in a hurry
Me: ?
Seo Hojin: Have you seen my class notes from freshman year? I need it for an assignment
Me: No
Seo Hojin: Ha thump-thump[1]... thump-thump
I was sure this bastard deliberately made up this story just to bring it up. I clenched my fist and gritted my teeth to contain the anger that rose from within.
In an instant, the variety show that was broadcast to the whole nation turned me into an idol with legendary embarrassing moment.
It was great that my intelligent image had a 180-degree change, but it wasnt so great that my embarrassing moments on YouTube garnered millions of views.
[Is Seo Hoyun an aegyo machine or a robot? (Like 113)
Aegyo machine: Is he a robot or Seo Hoyun?
Robot: Is he Seo Hoyun or an aegyo machine?]
[When Seo Hoyun grabbed Kang Ichae by the collar, it was the highest rating (Like 2144)
]
[Ho.Yu.N.Be.Strong.Sob.Sob (Like 3155)
Amazing staccato
]
[Its really funny to see him struggle so fucking hard with aegyo He really cant do it and only does it because hes told toHis image is so refreshing
When he said hed do anything if the fans liked it, I screamed. Yes my face is burning but its good to live hard!!]UppTodated from I the only one whos embarrassed?]
Im the one on the spotlight so why would you be
I murmured quietly as I held my head. Kang Ichae, who had casually exposed my embarrassing moment, sat down laughing as if he was enjoying it. I angrily gave him a honey punch.
Calm down. We have a fansigning event tomorrow anyway, so its good.
Whats so good?
Just think of it as practicing aegyo in advance
Kang Ichae squinted his eyes as if it was none of his business. A quest appeared as I pushed the traitor away with my foot.
[Quest Arrival!
Make memories with fans at the fansign!
A surprise gift from the system for the sulking Seo Hoyun.
Success: 2,000 points awarded.
Failure: Share on SNS with the reputation of A Real Fish Market Rock]
Until recently, The Dawn had only a handful of fans, yet they still held a fansign during their first album release.
Fansigns.
An opportunity to meet and talk to idols who were only seen through videos.
It was a shitty random drawing event where you had to spend tens of thousands of won to even have a chance of winning, just to talk for a few seconds or minutes, depending on the number of members.
How was it last time?
Kang Ichae, who had clearly wronged me, eagerly approached.
Are you talking about our fansigning during Glow? Like fansign cuts, things like that?
Jeong Dajun raised both of his hands and jumped up.
Me!
Okay, Dajun. You only need to raise one hand.
The company didnt tell me anything!
It was the only thing Daepaseong Entertainment did right.
It must have been Jeong Dajuns innocent smile that made it up to my terribly contrasting personality.
Lets practice once.
Feeling excited, Kang Ichae sat in front of me and screamed with both hands covering his mouth.
Youre so, so handsome, Hoyun!
Even using informal language.
Can you be a bit more cooperative? Lets try again.
This didnt feel like something I could just answer vaguely and get it over with. When I raised my eyebrows, Jeong Dajun jumped in.
Let me try. I ate tuna kimbap today!
Oh, really?
Good job?
Everyone was silent. Even Kim Seonghyeon, who was nonchalantly sipping water at the corner, looked at me as if he couldnt believe my attitude. Kang Ichae coughed a few times before asking brightly again.
Hoyun! When is your next comeback?!
I think itll depend on how the songs turn out, wouldnt it?
What should we do?
Everyone mumbled with a nervous look. I answered this question sincerely, but the reaction was still not good. According to the members, what was important was not the serious TMI, but the appropriate response and a balance of push and pull.
Well, I think I knew it theoretically
Feeling awkward, I looked away but Seong Jiwon suddenly stood up.
Wait a minute.
He then grabbed an employee passing by in front of the practice room.
Jihyeon, Im sorry, but please help Hoyun come to his senses.
Yes, what??
It was the stand Lee Jihyeon who had been caught by surprise. After listening to the whole story, Jihyeon scratched her cheek uncomfortably.
So, you want me to talk about my ideal fansigning event But its difficult. Ive been out of the fandom for a while now Now Im more into 2D[2]
Thats fine. Just get Hoyun to snap out of it.
Bunny versus cat, pick one ]
This brat, someday Im really going to hit him
I took a deep breath and turned my gaze to Kim Seonghyeon.
But why arent the kids coming back?
Well, I dont know?
Kim Seonghyeon awkwardly averted my eyes and stammered. I got up from the sofa, scratching my head and about to change clothes.
I needed to hurry to the company to discuss the settlement with the CEO
Seo, Seo Hoyun!
Euk!
Kim Seonghyeon, who had been fiddling with his phone from afar, suddenly rushed over and threw a blanket draped over the sofa at me, then rolled me up like a sushi roll. The blanket was a heavy winter one that I had put out to wash.
??
Arent you tired? Wanna be a kimbap? Its warm and cozy!
What
Why was he suddenly acting like this? He even covered my face so I couldnt see ahead. Kim Seonghyeon raised his voice, blocking my hands so I couldnt remove the blanket.
Its so cold!!
Its summer, you lunatic.
Get out.
Before I swear.
Feeling my ominous tone, Kim Seonghyeon flinched. Normally (although he wouldnt have done this in the first place), he would have apologized and stopped quickly, but he was both flustered and persistent.
Even without seeing, I could sense Kim Seonghyeons confusion. Seizing the moment when his grip slightly weakened, I snatched the blanket away and glared at him.
Kim Seonghyeon. There must be a reason for suddenly mentioning kimbap?
When I narrowed my eyes and pressured him, Kim Seonghyeon, who had zero talent in acting, just rolled his eyes with a perplexed expression.
This brat definitely had something.
You did something wrong.
No I didnt.
What did you mean you didnt? Youre acting like a guilty puppy.
Spit it out.
Nothing? Butwhat if I try speaking gently and kindly like I usually do?
What?
I was about to seriously ask him what he had eaten when suddenly, I saw his phone on the other side of the room.
The phone fixed on a tripod looked suspicious.
?
Why is that there and
What does kimbap have to do with
Bang!
Thats when it happened. The front door opened, and a paper firecracker burst.
Wow~!! Congratulations on your first place~! Youve successfully finished your Ocean Train music promotions Uh
!!
Jeong Dajun came in with a big smile and a huge cake. It looked like a cake to celebrate our first place since there was a 1 on it.
Kim Seonghyeon and I were awkwardly standing still around the sofa. Our posture looked suspicious to anyone.
The icy atmosphere, our strange behavior, the messy hair, and the sweat on my forehead. It all gave the impression that something had happened.
Kimbap?
Jeong Dajun mumbled blankly, then his eyes widened.
Did you two fight over kimbap?!
Hello~, congrats Huh.
Congrats, congrats Huh?
Seong Jiwon and Kang Ichae, who entered the room late, also stopped talking and closed their mouths. Wearing silly cone hats and quirky glasses, the other members who had burst in with firecrackers froze in place, apparently misunderstanding something.
You guys fought because of food?
Why on earth did the conclusion go in that direction?
We didnt fight No, anyway.
They seemed to get the gist of it, but why me I was the target of the surprise, wasnt I? Why was it me who seemed the least likely to be entertained by it?
No, no, pushing all that aside.
My head hurt, so I supported my forehead with my hand.
Was it recorded?
If it was recorded, at least there was some chance of saving the situation. They could edit it somehow But all the members averted their eyes.
Uh
V-Live
Live broadcast?
Everyone nodded their heads gloomily.
With me as the target?
Im screwed
The manager who came in late, not understanding the situation, entered the room with a joyful expression and set off a party popper.
Surprise~!
Pop! The confetti fluttered and hung humorously on the members heads.
An icy silence filled the room.
