Side Story Episode 8.

Today’s mini fan meeting—the members’ visuals are absolutely insane

How are people this gorgeous every single day?
The beauty is seriously unreal

StillBlue’s mini fan meeting was genuinely generous

I’ve never seen a fan meeting this generous before
1. Reverse gifts
Scarf and glove sets, bento boxes, beverages, and… !!!!!!cookies made by the members themselves!!!!!
2. Nearly two hours of fan meeting
3. Mini games, challenges, covers—they did it all
This was the most generous fan meeting in Mulbit Park history

I had no idea Yun Chung could pull off a slicked-back look so well;
She wore the horror concept outfit exactly as is, and it was pure bliss
Cookie…ㅅㅂ… I should have gone thereㅜㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ
StillBlue’s barefoot dedication was genuinely moving

Really for the fans who are obsessed with Sanok.
They took off their shoes and danced the horror concept barefoot… because that’s how you get the real vibe…
I’m a fan for life

When Ryu Bora’s cookie story came up, she got so embarrassed it was adorable

Apparently she baked cookies first, but they all burned, so Yun Chung ended up baking new ones for her
So he’s saying that his share of the cookie is only the icing, half-crying about it lol
What a precious deer…

Meanwhile, Yeonkoral knew from the beginning that he would be burning it, so he asked Seobaek in advance to grill his own.
Surprisingly, Kim Geum didn’t burn hers—she saw Ryu Bora burn hers and figured as long as she didn’t do that, she’d be fine, so she succeeded
Ryu Bora proposes and Ryu Bora fails—that’s the StillBlue universe…

***

Week two of their comeback. The day all scheduled music broadcasts came to an end.
StillBlue had swept first place across every single music show—a stunning display of dominance.
Bleduck, who had been grinning ear to ear while rewatching StillBlue’s fancams, grinned once more as I opened OTube.
It was because StillBlue was participating in a radio schedule that appeared to be commemorating the end of their promotional activities.
To see the members looking happy after taking first place today—what a treat!
It was a shame that their long-awaited comeback was coming to an end, but being able to witness the members’ happiness made it all meaningful.

“Today’s guests are the hottest and trendiest girls right now!”
“Ah, all you hear on the streets these days is their song. They brought such an eerie track with them. The title was ‘Urban Legend,’ wasn’t it?”
“Yes, that’s right!”

The members were answering with noticeably higher energy than usual.

“I’ve been hearing that Kim Geum and Yun Chung composed ‘Urban Legend.’ Is that true?”

True to his reputation as a K-pop composer and hit-song factory, Moon Rise asked the question with genuine interest in the songwriting credits.

“Yes, that’s correct.”
“Wow, they’ve got looks, they’ve got vocals, they’ve got dance moves. There’s nothing they can’t do—and now they’re composing too? What are people like us supposed to do?”
“There’s been talk that StillBlue is destroying the entire ecosystem so thoroughly that composers’ livelihoods are being cut off.”
“I mean, one talented composer per group should be enough. You don’t need two. If you’re going to compose, at least space out your releases. But they’re like some kind of vending machine—just press a button and out comes a masterpiece. Sheesh.”

The two DJs rattled off their reproachful praise.

“Haha. Thank you so much. We’re grateful you see us in such a positive light despite our shortcomings. Honestly, it’s not that we’re exceptionally talented at composing or songwriting—it’s that we know ourselves better than anyone else. We focus on the value of creating songs that suit us best. Our composition skills don’t even come close to half of Moon Rise’s level.”
“Your words flow like silk. Next up for ecosystem destruction will be the MC industry. You’d better be careful, MCs.”

Watching Yun Chung and the DJs exchange kind words back and forth, Bleduck felt my chest swell with pride.
My girl can do anything. She’s talented at everything. Everyone, please look at my girl!

“Let’s talk about the B-side track ‘Urban Legend’ first. Unbelievably, the B-side surpassed the title track and took first place.”
“There’s this rumor that the two songs are alternating taking first place on music shows….”
“My goodness, that’s truly a terrifying urban legend.”
“‘Urban Legend,’ written by Ryu Bora, is such an eerie love song. How on earth did you come to write lyrics like that? Did you go through some kind of intense romance?”
“You can’t ask idols questions like that and expect answers. Right, Bora?”

To the mischievous question, Bora simply smiled sweetly as she always did.
At that sight, Bleduck’s heart sank slightly. Oh no… don’t tell me Ryu Bora’s dating rumors are going to blow up tomorrow?
The trolls would probably piece together some narrative about how a rookie is already dating instead of focusing on her work….

“Yes, that’s right.”
“?!”

At Ryu Bora’s words, the DJs gasped in shock, but the members simply wore peculiar expressions.

“A fierce love… that’s what we have.”
“Yes?! With, with whom?!”
“Wait. We need to turn off the camera….”

After the DJs finished their commotion, Ryu Bora continued speaking calmly.

“It’s even a love triangle.”
“W-what, what, what are you saying?”
“Messages are exploding right now. From 71X3: ‘No, Bora. We can’t let our cute deer go.’ Yes, we can’t let her go either. But we have to hear this. A love triangle with whom?”
“Between me, the members, and Ever Blue.”
“….”

The DJs turned serious.

“This is really important information. Bora is such a funny person, you know? She competes saying she loves StillBlue more than Ever Blue, and then burns with passion saying she loves Ever Blue more than StillBlue. Her competitive spirit is no joke.”
“It’s a true love triangle in the real sense. All three love each other. All three are jealous of each other.”
“….”

Embarrassed by their own words, all the members lowered their heads.
But the Bleduck watching this scene were simply overwhelmed with emotion.
As expected, fan love belongs to StillBlue…!

“Wait, the other members also agreed to this concept? Doesn’t that make you all accomplices?”
“Well….”

Seo Baek-young brought the microphone to her lips, looking sheepish.

“I think we all felt anxious during the hiatus. Were we being forgotten? Even now, the world continues to birth so many amazing new artists, and there are already so many seniors whose skills are far more proven than ours. In such a fierce world, the reality of being unable to do anything felt a bit powerless.”

All the members listened silently to Seo Baek-young’s words.
Everything she said was precisely what StillBlue felt in their hearts.

“Before debut, I didn’t know. Back then, I thought that once we debuted, we could humbly accept whatever results came. But when we actually received such tremendous love, that love… was truly the most exhilarating thing I’ve ever experienced. So I couldn’t easily give up. And I kept yearning for more.”

Bleduck’s eyes widened like lanterns at hearing this for the first time. It was equally surprising to see all the members nodding quietly in agreement with Seo Baek-young’s words.
So the members had been harboring these thoughts without the fans knowing.

“I’m truly someone without possessiveness or greed. But for the first time, I’m feeling this sense of… attachment. I wish our fans’ affection would stay only with us. I want only me to keep seeing that loving gaze, that joyful expression on their faces as they look at us. I was even surprised at myself for thinking this way… so in the end, I had no choice but to admit it.”

Seo Baek-young lifted her head to look at the camera, then smiled with a pale, somewhat melancholic expression.

“Ah, I want to be loved. That’s what my heart is saying… I realized.”

At those words, Yun Chung reached out and took Seo Baek-young’s hand. Kim Geum, sitting beside her, did the same.

“Haha. I think I’ve been talking about something too heavy. I shouldn’t be worrying the members like this. I’m going to get scolded at the Dormitory later for not saying anything until now, aren’t I?”
“That’s right. I deserve to get scolded a bit. Seo Baek-young.”

Yun Chung gently reproached her, then looked at the camera with a reassuring expression.

“We poured these feelings of ours into this album. The desire not to be forgotten, to be loved by you. That’s how obsessive StillBlue was born.”
“Ah, that’s exactly the kind of greed you feel around this time~!”

Even DJ Tia chimed in as if in agreement. As a senior idol herself, she understood better than anyone what her juniors’ hearts felt.

“I’ll do better, EVEL! So let’s not break up!”

Kim Geum even playfully lightened the mood with her words.

“This album will only have about two weeks of promotions, but the next album will probably be a full-length album, so we’ll be able to promote for longer.”
“We’ll be back soon, so please wait just a little! You can look elsewhere for a moment, but when we come back, please look at us too.”
“Wait. I don’t remember agreeing that you could look elsewhere.”
“Be quiet, Ryu Bora. If we get a reputation for being obsessive like this, what are we going to do?”
“Ugh. I’m saying I didn’t agree either!”

Inside the radio booth that had turned into chaos, all the members burst into laughter.
Watching them, Bleduck couldn’t help but laugh along.

“We’ll keep coming back with bigger and better albums for the rest of our lives… and we’ll come back again. Even if you tell us to stop now, we’ll still come. We’d be truly grateful if you could always watch over us warmly.”
“Even if we’re across the ocean, we’ll always be EVEL!”
“That’s right, that’s right.”
“We even made a blood oath among ourselves. To never look elsewhere and only focus on EVEL and StillBlue.”
“…When did you do that?”
“Just be quiet about it.”

And so StillBlue waved brightly toward EVEL, who would be watching them through the camera.
