[Title: Joo Woosungs SNS Spring?

Im not a Black Call fan, but isnt Joo Woosung famous for not posting videos of himself? Fans are always crying about it, but suddenly, a video of Joo_Woosung_and_the_Kitty.gif was posted last night.

It_seems_like_you_like_me_more.gif

Who is this person??? As far as I know, there are no trainees like this in Black Calls agency. Is he just a regular person?

Seems like a regular person.

Oh really?? But his face doesnt look like a regular persons?

Okay.

At least among the rookies announced by the agency, there are no trainees like this, lol. Hey Woosung Can you please post your face?

This is crazy, for real]

[Title: Joo Woosung Posted Another Video on SNS! Why is he suddenly posting so many videos????

Fans asked him to post his face, so he did He suddenly changed his ways Joo_Woosung_and_the_Cat_Picture.jpg

trainee_feeling_gloomy_after_being_teased.video.

But this time, he took a picture with that trainee? Regular person? They seem to get along really well, lol. Cute.

I know!!! Hes a member of DPS Entertainment.

DPS??? Sorry, Im not knowledgeable. Please tell me what that is.

The Dawn (lit later)

Who is that anyway?? I heard of them before, but not really.

I was passing by Im a fan of The Dawn He calls himself Hoowoo. He didnt debut due to health reasons, but he did record some songs with them. They are hardworking kids, so please look kindly upon them

Oh (subdued) Sorry. Fighting!]

[Title: I heard from a friend (sorry)[1] that Joo Woosung and Seo Hoyun from The Dawn are close. Im a big fan of The Dawn, but I went crazy when I recently saw Joo Woosung (sorry, Im not one of his fans) on SNS.

Let me sort it out for you:

The Dawns debut album seemed to have failed, but they still have a handful of fans.Seo Hoyun, who appeared with Joo Woosung on SNS, is a member of The Dawn but has never appeared on an official stage.Joo Woosung and Seo Hoyun are strangely close friends; I dont know where they came from, but I suddenly became interested in them. Seo Hoyuns face is like a fox and rabbit, and hes more to my taste than I expected. I heard they will soon make a comeback, and Im looking forward to it.

Thank you, Speed Wagon!

Not at all!

Oh, thank you.

But Im not really interested in it. I feel like The Dawn is trying to ride on Joo Woosungs popularity.

Tsk, its not like Seo Hoyun was the one that did it. Joo Woosung himself posted it. Whats the problem?

Yes, yes, they seemed close friends. I feel like theyve known each other for a long time.

Black Call fans are going crazy over the flood of new photos of Joo Woosung and struggling to handle them. Plus, theyve never seen anyone get along with Joo Woosung so comfortably, except with this member from The Dawn

Yeah, Im really grateful to this friend. Its the first time Ive seen Joo Woosungs cute side. So adorable! ]

[The Dawns comeback, is it noise marketing?]

[The trainee who appeared on Joo Woosungs SNS, is it the companys strategy?]

Hoyun-hyung!

I collapsed on the practice room floor and lifted my phone to check the situation. To some extent, I seemed to be a hot topic in online communities and social media. Of course, I was also getting criticized, but it wasnt bad for viral marketing.

The planning and choreography were roughly organized, and the dance routine, practice schedule, and vocal parts were distributed. There were now about three weeks left until the showcase.

This level of firepower isnt enough.

Now, its time to start preparing for other things. I put my smartphone away and looked at Kang Ichae.

Hey, why?

Drink this.

Kang Ichae threw a water bottle at me. I drank the water gratefully as I was on the brink of dehydration. Kang Ichae muttered.

Why are you practicing so roughly, hyung? Do you even sleep properly?

I am sleeping.

Youre lying! Hyung only sleeps three hours a day! And in the lounge, too.

Are you some kind of Napoleon, hyung? You only sleep for three hours a day?

Kang Ichae stuck out his tongue as Jeong Dajun groaned. I ignored them as I didnt have the energy to respond.

Seong Jiwon, who had just entered the practice room, looked at me worriedly as if he had heard what was being said.

Um Hoyuns dance has improved, but

Its still not enough Why? How can I improve more?

Jiwon-hyung Do you think hes possessed by a dead ghost who cant practice?

Jeong Dajun trembled. I was also scared and used my arms to steady myself.

Seong Jiwon wasnt really someone to take on lightly. I thought he was fragile, but now his eyes were rolling back, and he was not focused on anything but the comeback stage.

Kim Seonghyeon came in next and played the music, trying to adjust the stage movements some more.

After we finished distributing the parts, we modified the choreography slightly so that each member would stand out more in their respective parts.

Ooh, pick a card, the future becomes clearer,

Dont worry about the low chances, theres no need,

Its okay, Ill lead you.

Say it once more, its the beginning for us,

I will come back every time,

Dont be afraid of this strange feeling,

No need to worry,

Ill lead you.

Grandma, are you okay?

Oh, thank you, thank you.

Are you hurt anywhere?

No, Im fine Im more worried about you, young men.

Were fine.

In addition, Kang Ichae was inside the convenience store making a phone call, waving his hand frantically. It seemed like he was calling the police.

Soon after, we heard police sirens.

Wow, the South Korean police are fast.

Let me go!

Stay still, you punk.

I muttered as I pressed down on the thiefs nape.

I looked around to see if the police had arrived and saw a woman still holding her phone, staring at us blankly. As I turned my head, my eyes met with Kim Seonghyuns.

We both thought the same thing.

Wait, what if

***

Oh dear, that was close. I saw him following me after I withdrew money from the bank. He even followed me to a place without CCTV. It would have been a disaster if it werent for you young men.

After handing the thief over to the police, they praised us several times.

I glanced at the old lady. It seemed like she wasnt injured.

Thank you, young men. I dont know how to express my gratitude.

No, its nothing, Grandma. Its just what anyone would do.

This is the money our daughter sent us. She saved it bit by bit for my medical expenses Without this, I wouldnt have been able to get treatment. Im really grateful.

That was really close.

Seong Jiwon murmured with sympathy. From what I could gather, Seong Jiwon had a soft spot for the old lady. His eyes were glued to her, and he seemed deeply concerned.

I nudged Seong Jiwon.

Lets stop and go. Grandma needs to rest too.

Oh, Im sorry. I didnt realize I was holding you up.

Im the one who should apologize for taking up your time.

The old lady kept bowing her head. Seeing her reminded me of my grandmother, and I suddenly felt strange emotions.

I politely said goodbye and led the members out once the situation was resolved.

Wow, we really did a great job.

Kim Seonghyeon almost got hurt. Are you okay?

Yeah. Seo Hoyun protected me

Right. We dont have much time left before our comeback, so be careful.

Hey, come on. It was cool, wasnt it?

Being cool isnt everything.

Seong Jiwon playfully hit Jeong Dajuns head. Jeong Dajun complained while holding his head, but he couldnt deny the sense of accomplishment among the members.

You all did a great job.

Even Hoyun seems happy.

I, too, felt a sense of accomplishment.

There was something else to look forward to.

Kim Seonghyeon probably noticed it as well.

After returning to the practice room and practicing for a few more hours, the manager suddenly opened the door and entered.

Guys!!

Just as I expected.

Oh, you scared me.

Guys, you caught a thief! Why didnt you tell me!

The excited manager grabbed Jeong Dajuns shoulders and shook him. Jeong Dajun, unable to understand the situation, held onto his dizzy head.

Well, we were going to tell you later. But how did you find out?

You guys are a big hit right now!

What?

The news of you catching the thief has been posted online, and now were trending in real-time searches!

Bingo.

The manager shoved the internet article right in front of our faces. I slowly read the sparkling title on the screen.

[Ordinary Male Idol Group Caught a Thief Today]

The title was quite convincing.

Among the members with disbelieving expressions, Kim Seonghyeon and I locked our eyes again.

For now, we just grinned.
