Episode 41.

Faced with Cotton Ball Entity’s threat, Yun Chung glared at it with a more twisted expression than ever before.
My anger was already reaching a boiling point over being threatened myself, and now this creature dared to threaten my members?
Had it truly sunk this low?

“…I’ve never thought of you as some virtuous being, but I at least believed you had some principles. Yet you resort to threats like this—”
-Principles?

Cotton Ball Entity erupted into a laugh so horrifying it was almost unbearable.
The sound was so grating that I instinctively wanted to cover my ears.

-One wrong move and my livelihood gets cut off. You talk about principles?
“!”

Its livelihood… would be cut off?
Could this creature actually know something?
Cotton Ball Entity flew rapidly to within inches of Yun Chung’s face.

-Listen carefully, Yun Chung.

Cotton Ball Entity spoke in a voice lower and darker than ever before.

-If you don’t overcome this crisis properly, your group will be forced to disband.
“!”

***

After hearing Cotton Ball Entity’s warning and threat.
Yun Chung returned to the Dormitory with a heavy, sunken heart.
Hong President. I’ve never particularly liked him, but he’s truly become a burden in my life….

“I’m home.”
“Unnie!”

The moment I opened the door, Yeon Ju-hong launched herself like a rocket and flew toward me.

“Why are you so late?!”
“Huh? Were you waiting for me?”
“Of course we were! We’ve been waiting for you our whole lives, unnie.”

I couldn’t fathom why they’d go to such lengths.
At Yeon Ju-hong’s bright smile, I couldn’t help but laugh.
When I turned my gaze to the living room, all the members were indeed gathered there, staring only at me.
Seriously. They were all waiting for me.
But….

“Why are you all holding suitcases…?”

And not just any small suitcases, but massive ones like those used for immigration?
As I asked in bewilderment, the members grinned mischievously and handed me a suitcase instead of answering.
It was just as large and heavy as the ones the members were carrying.

“Let’s go, Chung.”
“!”

Seo Baek-young was saying something shocking in a tender voice.

***

Saturday evening.
Prism Homma had perfectly arranged late-night snacks on the table, then solemnly opened OTube.
Why, you ask?

▶

[Yun Chung Gets Kidnapped – StillBlue’s Yun Chung Abduction: LA Edition]

It was because a sudden self-cam video notification from the members had just appeared.

‘The members’ genuine vacation moment… I absolutely cannot miss this.’

Prism Homma chuckled and pressed the play button on the video.

[~This is a video of StillBlue members genuinely abducting Yun Chung, and we solemnly declare that this is not any concept or script~]
[※Even the Production Team was taken aback when StillBlue suddenly showed up and laid out their Yun Chung abduction plan※]

Prism Homma chuckled at the subtitle that started off without mercy.
Fans had already begun spreading rumors about Yun Chung overworking herself, and opinions were circulating that the members needed some rest.

‘As expected, our StillBlue members take the best care of their leader…!’

The screen transitioned, revealing what appeared to be the Company’s Conference Room.

Production Crew: So you’re saying you want to kidnap Yun Chung and run away?
Production Crew: What… what are you talking about…?

[Baek-young: Chung seems to be pushing herself too hard lately. No matter how much we tell her to rest, she won’t listen.]
[Geum: Chung-chung really needs to rest. She’s been running around so much that her eyes are completely vacant now. I even started calling her “Vacant Eyes” to tease her, but she didn’t even notice.]
[Bora: …We need to knock her out first before we can do anything.]

Production Crew: Bora, you’re… you’re not hiding a weapon or anything, right…?

[Ju-hong: Unnie is the kind of person who only listens once you’ve actually taken her away. So let’s go kidnap her!]

Subtitle: And so~ they began!
Subtitle: Operation: Yun Chung Kidnapping. Commencing. Now!

[Geum: Ah. Microphone~ microphone test.]
[Bora: When did that trend even start…? The recording works fine without doing that stuff now.]
[Geum: You gotta do things like this to add flavor to it.]
[Bora: What flavor?]
[Geum: Ah, there’s a delicious flavor you wouldn’t understand.]

The two same-aged members bickered back and forth as the camera panned to Yun Chung’s room.

[Geum: This is the room of our Chung-ri. Look, it’s incredibly neat, right?]

Subtitle: A room without a speck of dust
Subtitle: Did she clean it up beforehand knowing we’d be filming?

[Geum: Nope. This unnie’s room is always like this. She’s not human, I’m telling you. So sometimes we sneak in like this and have to mess it up for her.]
[Bora: …]
[Geum: What are you looking at?]

The two of them opened a suitcase first, then quietly opened Yun Chung’s closet.

[Geum: I’m mentioning this beforehand in case you worry about privacy invasion.]
[Bora: We’re always like this among ourselves. Yun Chung unnie frequently opens our closet and borrows clothes too.]
[Geum: Ju-hong is terrible at packing, so Chung-chung always packs for her. We don’t have privacy or secrets among ourselves. Right, Ryu Bora?]
[Bora: ….]
[Geum: What? That reaction? You’re hiding something from me?]
[Bora: (turning away)]
[Geum: Hey. Stop filming. Stop filming, stop it. What’s with that reaction!! You ARE hiding something from me!!! Wow. You traitor. After everything I’ve done for you!!!!]

Caption: We’re taking a brief screen adjustment due to the two’s lover’s quarrel!

~Cooling Off Time~

The screen changed once more, and this time the location shifted to the Airport.

[Ju-hong: From here on, I’ll be taking over as MC!]
[Ju-hong: Ta-da. Here’s Chung-chung unnie~]

Ju-hong pointed the camera at Yun Chung.
But that was….

“Pfft.”

Prism Homma spat out the water she’d been drinking.
And for good reason—

[Yun Chung: Ju-hong. Isn’t it about time you took off the blindfold…?]

Yun Chung’s eyes were covered by an adorable sky-blue sleep mask, and her arms were being firmly held by the other members.

[Ju-hong: Nope, can’t do that. I’ll take it off during security screening later.]
[Yun Chung: ….]
[Yun Chung: I’ll let it slide because it’s cute….]
[Ju-hong: Whoa. I definitely need to keep up this cuteness level.]

Lalalala.
Ju-hong cheerfully began the interview with the other members.

[Ju-hong: By the way~ do you have any hints about where we’re going right now~?]
[Baek-young: Yun Chung’s been talking in her sleep lately, and it’s something only those of us living together can hear.]
[Ju-hong: Sometimes when I go wake up Chung-chung, I can catch it.]

Caption: Sleep-talking?

[Ju-hong: Chung-chung keeps saying America… America… nom nom nom… like that.]
[Baek-young: So we thought maybe she wanted to go to America, and we prepared something.]
[StillBlue: These are tickets to Los Angeles~!]

Caption: The StillBlue members waving the tickets are so cute

[Yun Chung: …Seriously? We’re actually going to America?]
[Yun Chung: Wait. I was sleep-talking about America?]
[Yun Chung: And you interpreted that as me wanting to go to America?!]
[Yun Chung: Ryu Bora, you…! You should at least deny this!]

Even with my eyes covered, I could feel Yun Chung’s bewilderment radiating through.

Caption: Does Bora know something~?

[Bora: I have no idea what you’re talking about. I’m invoking my right to remain silent.]
[Geum: You two keep adding more secrets.]
[Baek-young: Right. I’m disappointed.]
[Yun Chung: !!!! Did Baek-young just say she’s disappointed?]
[Baek-young: I’m disappointed, Yun Chung.]
[Yun Chung: No, you can’t do that. We’ve had beer together.]
[Ju-hong: Yeah. I’m disappointed too.]
[Baek-young: Ju, Ju-hong. That’s not what I meant…]

While the members fumbled through their excuses to each other.
Yun Chung quickly removed her blindfold.

[Yun Chung: Wait. But Colors has a branch in Los Angeles, right?]
[Geum: Wow. Unnie. You’re thinking about the company even now? Just how obsessed with work are you?]

Caption: Yun Chung, the work-obsessed one…

[Bora: I really should have tied your legs together too.]
[Yun Chung: When you say things like that, it sounds serious, so I told you not to say things like that, Bora….]
[Bora: But that’s exactly what I mean.]
[Yun Chung: ….]

Caption: Our Purple Sashimi is terrifying

[Yun Chung: I like this. This trip. I’m starting to enjoy it.]
[Yeon Ju-hong: …That’s not what I meant….]
[Baek-young: Everyone, let’s confiscate Yun Chung’s passport.]
[Yeon Ju-hong: I said I wanted to go to DisneyLand and eat tons of hamburgers, not go to the company. Ju-hong doesn’t want that.]
[Bora: I’m thinking of visiting the filming locations instead. I’m not going to the company.]
[Yun Chung: I’ll go alone.]
[StillBlue: Hey, stop working already!]

Caption: Calm down, calm down~
Caption: Let’s ride first, yeah?
Caption: StillBlue’s LA travel vlog, begin~!
