Episode 5.

What wind blew through the Colors members?

Now they suddenly post a notice about suing cyber bullies.
When fans actually sent truck protests before, they didn’t even pretend to listen lol

It’s good they came to their senses now at least.
Apparently they sued first before posting the notice so the bullies wouldn’t delete their videos.
└Wow, that’s actually the right move.
└└Yeah, you gotta hit them with the lawsuit first.

What’s going on with the live streams? Such a harvest of content.
I cannot provide a meaningful translation for this text as it does not appear to be coherent Korean language. It consists of random syllables and onomatopoeia that don’t form recognizable words or sentences in Korean.
└Our Coral Ging is so good at making ham boogie memes haha. Joo Hong must have been practicing to show us ㅠㅠ
The charm of a live broadcast hosted by Seuble,,
Yoonble’s livestream summary: Yoonble said “Isn’t that the trending meme these days?” and then held a funeral for the meme.
And then Ju-hong explains meme properties from behind and disappears.
This Twitch/livestream chat comment is quite informal and contains some unclear elements, but here’s a natural English translation:
└This is ESFJ. Please correct me!
“The RyuPub-Seoback joint broadcast is seriously fun lol. It’s a broadcast featuring the only capital I’s on the team”
But these days, Geum has not been doing well.

I’m an ESFJ, please correct me!
He said he changed back to ISFJ during yesterday’s live stream.

Things seem a little dark these days.

Is something wrong, Geum?
[UNTRANSLATED LINE 32]
You seem a bit down lately. Let’s talk.
The fan meeting is next.

Yeah… I used to always say I was in the middle of working on a song whenever I did a live stream, but lately I’ve been doing solo room streams more often.

The fan meeting is coming up next.
[UNTRANSLATED LINE 39]
If you’re going to drop a notice about not attending, shouldn’t you do it right now?

StillBlue should’ve announced this at least a day earlier…

Will they refund us if a non-attendance notice goes up?
└22.. Colors Yuguhajaneum
Colors never gives refunds anyway
I know this because I dug up the male idols there, but Colors will never refund you haha.
They probably won’t

└└333..

Shouldn’t they refund if someone doesn’t attend?
I don’t want to lose even an inch.
Why won’t they?

They always put in their announcements that member changes are possible anyway lol

Think about the individual fans’ positions too
└Don’t really cross the line;
Fan meetings aren’t cheap, you guys

Does she even have individual fans? lol
└Don’t cross the line;

Steel Blue adjusted most of the schedule due to Kim Geum’s sudden hearing loss, but the fan meeting was still not properly coordinated.
Look at these people trying to criticize her

I’m going

Why?
And that too, without leaving the room.

The four members huddled in front of Kim Geum’s door and looked down at Kim Geum’s crooked handwriting.

Without even leaving her room.
“If you hear that, you’ll probably say it’s because you’re a genius.”
The four members huddled outside Kim Geum’s door, staring down at her crooked handwriting.

“Wow, Kim Geum’s handwriting is seriously terrible even at a time like this.”
“She’d say it’s because she’s a genius.”
“That’s actually true though.”

Pfft.
All the members laughed. Kim Geum’s voice rang clear in my ears.

“Wow. Is it a blue T?”
Come out and talk to me, Geum.
How are you going to a fan meeting when you won’t even leave your room?

“Wow. Is this from Chung-chung?”
“Yeah.”
“Hmm… I see….”
It’s hard to even see their faces except when going to the hospital, so what kind of fan meeting is this? It would be better to not attend.
At my firm response, Yeon Ju-hong actually hesitated before answering.
Regardless, I slipped the note under the door.
It had already been two weeks since Kim Geum stopped leaving her room.
It was hard to even catch a glimpse of her face except when going to the Hospital. How could she possibly attend a fan meeting? She should just skip it.
If she said it was for health reasons, the fans would understand.

So really, she could just say she can’t make it. Express her apologies and promise to show up in better form next time.

Then.

“!”

The door swung open with a bang, and Kim Geum appeared.
But either way.

“Geum-ah.”

But regardless.

“Geum.”

I was just happy to see her face.
I feel like I haven’t seen my daughter in a long time… .
“You came out.”

Ah, this is strange. This shouldn’t be a good situation, yet why do I feel so delighted, so happy?

The members were equally taken aback by Kim Geum’s sudden appearance before their eyes, so they all just stood there unable to say anything, staring blankly at Kim Geum.

“Chung-chung, what’s going on?”
“It’s like that even if I see you every day.”
Hmm. Kim Geum’s voice too felt so welcoming after such a long time.

“Do you think I only see this kind of thing for a day or two?”
“Even seeing it every day feels a bit much.”

“Tabooiiiiiiim!”

And at the same time.
Oh, except for Ryu Bo-ra.
“Geuuuuuuuum!”

***

Ryu Bora only managed a reluctant little hop.

***
That little face is so swollen like a moon… I couldn’t even imagine how much I cried.

“It’s not that I can’t hear at all. I can hear a little in one ear. In the other ear, I couldn’t hear at all at first, but now I can hear a little bit.”
Kim Geum’s face was swollen, as if she’d cried a lot by herself during all this time.
For that small face to be puffed up like a moon…I couldn’t even imagine how much she must have cried.

“It’s not like I can’t hear anything either. One ear hears a little. The other ear didn’t hear anything at first, but now I can hear it faintly.”
“Tinnitus?”

“Well, if you can’t hear something, you can understand it better by looking at the shape of the mouth. Anyway, that’s it.”
Kim Geum sat on the sofa, happily accepting the nut brittle that Seo Baek-young was feeding her as she spoke.

As soon as Kim Geum finished speaking, Ryu Bo-ra’s cold voice rang out.
“Well, if I can’t hear something, I can understand a bit more by reading lips. Anyway, that’s how it is.”
“Why didn’t you come out all this time and just stayed holed up there?”

The moment Kim Geum finished speaking, Ryu Bora’s cold voice cut through the air.
Right. That’s our Bora for you.
Merciless.

“I’m embarrassed.”
!
“I mean, you know? At first I just felt too sad to come out. But by the third or fourth day, I was too ashamed to show my face.”

In other words, she simply hadn’t come out because of her stubbornness.
Truly, that was so Kim Geum of her.

When Ryu Bora tried to roll up her arms at the sound of Kim Geum’s quite confident voice, all the members quietly held her back.

“…Please don’t stop me today. I think I need to grab her cheeks once or I won’t survive.”
“Really that… really.”

Ryu Bo-ra sighed and stroked her hair.

“Seriously, this girl… seriously.”
“why.”
Ryu Bora let out a deep sigh and swept her hair back.
“Is there an idol who threatens murder?”
“Kim Geum.”
“What.”

“Is there an idol threatening murder?”
“Are we in an idol-to-idol relationship right now?”

“You and I.”
Was it just her imagination, or did Kim Geum’s eyes seem excessively bright with anticipation?
Ryu Bora wore an expression that screamed she desperately didn’t want to meet those expectations.

“Yeah.”
“…are strangers. From today on, we’re strangers, so remember that.”
!!!!!

Kim Geum’s shocked face crumpled in despair, but Bora simply turned her head away sharply.

Well… Bora certainly hasn’t been having an easy time emotionally lately.

“Both of you, calm down for a moment.”
“…Actually, I tried it in a private stage room because of that.”
Yun Chung stepped between them.
“Even though I couldn’t hear, my body moved on its own.”
“Geum, do you really think you can do our fan meeting?”
“…Actually, I’ve already been practicing it in my personal stage room because of that.”
“Yeah.”
“Even if I can’t hear it well, my body moves on its own.”
“…”

“That’s not how you use that word, Kim Geum.”
“Whatever.”

“Your body remembers?”
Yeon Ju-hong shook her head in disbelief.
Anyway…

“Your body remembers it?”

“But Geum.”
