239

The Noeul fans hadn’t started with question marks from the beginning.
The moment they clicked on the newly uploaded video, The Dun members dressed in Halloween costumes appeared one by one, each accompanied by their own fitting BGM.

[Kyaaaaaah kyah kyah my wish came true kyaaaaaah]

[Dae Pa-sung… I believed in you…]

└You’re practically crying…
└└Women always cry at times like this…]

Kim Sung-hyun as an American quarterback, holding a rugby ball in one hand.
Sung Ji-won with an angel halo and wings.
And Seo Ho-yoon wearing an ordinary high school uniform with his bangs down.
Even the youngest member in a Cardcaptor Sakura outfit holding a pink magical staff.

[Thank you thank you oh my god thank you]
[What? Jung Da-jun in Cardcaptor outfit so precious]
“Sung Hyun-i as quarterback lol, I must be crazy”
[Sung Ji-won angel appeal didn’t need to go this far but I’m really grateful…]
[I’m so excited right now Seo Ho-yoon in uniform seriously]
Seo Ho-yoon really looks like a high schooler lol he’s definitely different in a school uniform compared to his stage outfit lol

A crisply pressed white dress shirt, beige knit vest, and dark gray trousers.
With his bangs falling below his eyebrows and understated styling, Seo Ho-yoon looked so authentically like a high school student that there was no sense of incongruity whatsoever.

[Ah.. the uniform.. no regrets…]

Among the fans, Seo Ho-yoon’s school days had been treated as a mystery.
Sung Ji-won had been famous since his trainee days at D.go, Kim Sung-hyun had spread widely during his Shining Star days, and Jung Da-jun’s sightings had occasionally leaked out over time.
Kang Yi-chae had become known as an overseas exchange student to the point where it was accepted as official, so everyone just went along with it—but there had never been any stories about Seo Ho-yoon.
The Noeul fans, unable to obtain even the slightest bit of information despite the passage of time, had only been sighing deeply, and now the person himself had appeared wearing his own high school’s uniform.

[Seo Ho-yoon would get an ID check if he went to a convenience store like that
Actually, I kind of want to do an ID check on him myself]
[Why is Ho-yoon so overflowing with pure innocence today… Like that older brother playing with friends next to the 3rd Floor Convenience Store, why is he like this…
Suddenly feeling wronged—why are you doing this to me?]
[Ho-yoon… Ah, can I even say this…
Every time after he’s sick, his pure and delicate charm peaks to its maximum…]

While most people were burning up at the sight of Seo Ho-yoon’s makeup, some were laughing.

[Ho-yoon really is obsessed with Joo Woo-sung lolol certified best friends

└Why?? Is it a costume fair??
└└ No (photo)]

For about a decade now, WH Entertainment had been hosting a massive Halloween party every year exclusively for their artists.
Related articles and photos were being uploaded in real-time across various communities and SNS, and the lion’s share of attention was undoubtedly going to Joo Woo-sung of Black Call.
He was wearing a white shirt and slacks, slicked his hair back with pomade, threw on a cape haphazardly, and inserted fake fangs while claiming to be a vampire.

[Both of them put in the least effort but are the hottest

Hahahahaha oh my god hahahaha

Even Kang Yeon-hu of High Five applied yellow face paint to show his genuine effort, but Joo Woo-sung, born with natural talent and ignorant of desperation, drew everyone’s attention with just a five-minute makeup job.

[Ah this Halloween is so fun damn it]
[ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ진심 5분 만에 분장한 주우성 1승ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ아 개웃겨ㅋㅋㅋㅋ그래 자고로 고양이상 얼굴은 뱀파이어 한번쯤 해줘야한다 그게 국룰임]

Until then, one person hadn’t appeared on screen yet.

Where did Kang Yi-chae go?
[Kang Yi-chae as a Taoist Kang Yi-chae as a Taoist Kang Yi-chae as a Taoist]

Just as everyone was wondering.
With a distinctly Korean melody that made shoulders sway naturally, Kang Yi-chae appeared, swirling the hem of his robe.

[Kyaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!]

“What is a Taoist?”

He pinched the brim of the traditional hat between his thumb and forefinger, adjusting it with a wink.

“Truly, bringing joy to the fans is the way of the sage.”

Then, sweeping his hand along the breeze, the hanbok billowed dramatically across the screen, obscuring the view, and

[…?]

A familiar melody that stirred childlike wonder rang out, and when Kang Yi-chae reappeared, he was wearing a sailor suit top with white shorts and a cute beret.

“Catch you~.”

[…what is this?]
[??????????????????????????]
That’s insane lol
Hahaha that’s hilarious hahaha

“I really really~! Love Noeul~!”

[Cardcaptor Yi-‘chae’rry]
Hahahahaha dude, hahahaha you bastard!! hahahaha

It was a transition so seamless it was almost bewildering.
And somehow, it looked incredibly natural on him.

[well, since his name is Kang Yi-‘chae’, ‘cherry’ works… yeah]
[why does it look so good on him, this red-haired guy
that’s what’s most absurd]
[hey why did you change outfits Kang Yi-chae what are you doing
what what what what are you doing]

With eyes opened as wide as possible, moving with uninhibited energy and zero shame, Kang Yi-chae was truly a born idol.
He pulled an ornately decorated card from his pants pocket and tossed it upward, then wielded a small magic wand with wings, batting the card away like a baseball.

“Nah lol is that even right? Like is that really how you’re supposed to swing a magic wand lol”
[Yi-chae, you’re not playing baseball right now? but cleanup hitter Yi-chae or shortstop Yi-chae is so good]
Hahahahaha oh my god this guy is so cute hahahaha

[I heard recently from Pop Pop that Da-jun’s been giving him private anime lessons

└Did he really get tutored? Yi-chae’s just swinging a baseball bat around
I’m a baseball-loving student of Chung Beom’s, that’s right lol

Then a brilliant light burst forth and enveloped the Members of The Dun.

So, the Halloween voting results were originally like this.
Hyun-sung: Quarterback
Ji-won: An angel.
Ho-yoon: School uniform
Yi-chae: Jeon Woo-chi
Da-jun: Cacao X
But due to the Taoist (Kang Yi-chae)’s mischief—.

The Halloween costume icon in the subtitles squirmed and then moved next to the other Members’ names.

Hyun-sung: School uniform
Ji-won: Quarterback
Ho-yoon: An angel.
Yi-chae: Caca X
Da-jun: Jeon Woo-chi

【Each of your roles has been switched!】

Hahahahaha Dae Pa-sung really pulled off something this time lol

Crude CG played in the background as The Dun Members passed by, each immersed in their roles and making expressions.

Sung Ji-won, an American quarterback with exaggerated shoulder padding.
Daoist Jeon U-chi Jung Da-jun spins around and around, continuously muttering ‘ahem’ and ‘hurrah’ like he’s chanting a Buddhist prayer.
Angel Seo Ho-yoon, annoyed by his rattling wings, trudges along the street with the wings slung over one shoulder and leaning on one leg.
Kim Sung-hyun, wearing horn-rimmed glasses as if to conceal his wild and masculine features, neatly dressed in his school uniform, turns the pages of his textbook one by one.
Kang Yi-chae still wields his magic wand while adorably blinking his eyes.

And so Kang Yi-chae’s magic wand struck the screen, cracks spreading with sharp sounds, and it turned pitch black.
When The Dun Members appeared again, they were all wearing cat ears that measured brainwaves, sitting at the semi-circular table placed in the Blue Tiger Practice Studio that was frequently seen in the dance practice videos.
And the brainwave game began.

The cat ears you’re wearing are a machine that measures brainwaves. Each of the Members will tell a scary story one by one, and whoever’s ears move the most during that time will receive a penalty. It doesn’t matter whether the stories you tell are ones you’ve heard, made up, or true stories.
What is the penalty?

At the Broadcasting Staff’s words, Kim Sung-hyun asked.

“Watching a horror movie alone.”
“…!!!”

[This is totally targeting him

Hahahahahahahahahaha oh hahahahahahahaha

[The dancer line is the scariest and the vocal line is already so strong, it’s so fucking hilarious ㅠㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ]
[Kang Yi-chae pretending to be scared and screaming is the most annoying thing]

Kim Sung-hyun and Jung Da-jun put up fierce resistance, but they were quickly dragged over by the staff and seated.
Eventually, Jung Da-jun, wearing a miserable expression, decided it was better to take the hit first and started the game. He rambled on about scary stories and then giggled nervously.

“Hyung, why are you so quiet?! Don’t you have anything?”
“Huh? Me?”

Jung Da-jun, trembling and rubbing his forearms, perked up his ears and spoke to Sung Ji-won, who had been quietly listening.

“Hmm… I don’t really have much.”

Sung Ji-won, thinking it over, made a sound as if he’d remembered something.

“Oh! Now that I think about it.”
“What is it?”
“Back in middle school? I had a hobby of practicing alone every day….”

[Everything Sung Ji-won says right now sounds so sweet…]
[It’s amazing that this angel can even speak Korean these days]

Sung Ji-won’s voice continued softly.

“But I got tired and lay down in the practice room. Then I must have fallen asleep without realizing it. My body felt so heavy… I thought, ‘Is this sleep paralysis?’ you know.”
“Y-yeah, but?”
“But then I heard a sound. Whoosh, whoosh…. For some reason my eyes felt strange and itchy too.”

[Wait, I take back the ‘sweet’ comment

Hahahaha damn it hahahaha

“Tell us it was about bugs!! Anything but this!!”
“Stop it!!”
“I thought something was off, so I slowly rolled my eyes to look—.”

Even as Kim Sung-hyun and Jung Da-jun recoiled in horror, Sung Ji-won didn’t stop.

“—long hair hanging down….”
“Ahhhhh!!”
“Noooo!!”
“Someone standing upside down on the ceiling with their long hair dangling, staring at me with an unwavering gaze….”
“Stop!! Stop it!!!”

Sung Ji-won laughed out loud.

“So? What happened next?”

Jung Da-jun’s eyes were already glistening with tears, and while Kim Sung-hyun covered his ears and shook his head, Kang Yi-chae asked the question—curious about what came after despite everything.

“Well, it just stayed like that until dawn.”
“…!!”

[Screaming]
[Oh damn, even Kang Yi-chae who asked the question is trembling]
This is the scariest shit lol

“I shouldn’t have asked, I shouldn’t have asked…. You’re lying, right? You made that up about sleep paralysis, right?”
“Well… yeah, I guess….”
“Hyung, why are you saying it like you’re not sure?!”

[So that’s what Sung Ji-won is
An angel, sure, but an angel you have to run away from like hell when you see him]
[“Do not be afraid…”
I’m absolutely terrified damn it]

I’m fucking terrified.

“What, hyung? Why are you so calm about this? What would you do if you saw a ghost?!”

Amid the chaos, Jung Da-jun asked the question to Seo Ho-yoon, who had been listening as if it were someone else’s problem.

“I’ll salt and sleep.”

[Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha”

Lol, that’s really reassuring haha
How on earth do you make him agitated…]
But Seo Ho-yoon is so old-fashioned lol, his ears haven’t been shaken hard even once so far.
How the hell do you even get him flustered…]

What exactly gets you excited, you guy]

“Don’t lie, you’re not gonna salt because you’re too lazy.”
at that time,

Then,

“I’ll nominate someone!”

Kim Sung-hyun suddenly jumped up and placed two simple chairs facing each other in front of the semi-circular table, then shouted.
“A one-on-one match?!”
“Whoa!! One-on-one match!!”

“Wow. K-high school boy against the angel who doesn’t shed tears?”

Jung Da-jun and Kang Yi-chae stirred with excitement, and Sung Ji-won even chimed in with a comment.
[Guys, why are you making such a fuss hahahahahahahahaha]
[Wait, there’s no such rule]

“Seo Ho-yoon, come out.”
“oh?”

“Huh?”
Then, Seo Ho-yoon’s cat ears, which had been calm until now, turned slightly.
Kim Sung-hyun called Seo Ho-yoon over with a provocative flick of his fingers.

Seo Ho-yoon let out an amused chuckle and sauntered over, flopping down into the chair. The angel halo perched above his cat ears swayed along with his movements.
“Well, just like the basic rule, the person who moves his ears the most loses.”

“Well, I’ll make it a basic rule—whoever’s ears move more loses.”
And then Seo Ho-yoon, the master of mouth-telling, began his career.

And so began the masterful performance of Seo Ho-yoon, the expert at talking his way out of things.
“for a moment.”

“Wait.”

Cutting off Kim Sung-hyun’s words, Seo Ho-yoon tapped his cheek with a finger.

“You’ve got something on you. Tsk, so careless.”

[I don’t have anything on me, damn it]

In fact, there was nothing on him.

Wow lol Seo Ho-yoon is seriously so damn shameless lol

Kim Sung-hyun, flustered, wiped his cheek with the back of his hand to check if something was actually there, and Seo Ho-yoon opened his mouth in a gentle tone.
“What, what?”
“Sung-hyun, you know what?”
“W-what?”

“…!!”
Things like, ‘I’m sorry for making you upset,’ or, ‘I still think of you all the time.’
Kim Sung-hyun was caught in Seo Ho-yoon’s trap before he could even try anything. And once he was, there was no turning back.
Lines like “I’m sorry for upsetting you” and “I always think of you anyway” came pouring out.

With his face buried in his large hands, Kim Sung-hyun whimpered as the Noeul fans grew frustrated on his behalf.
Oh, I’m pissed
[Wow, I’m seriously frustrated

Argh!!!!! Ugh, so frustrated!!!]
Seonghyun… what did you want to talk about…

Hyun-sung… what were you trying to tell me…

We could never know forever, it seems.. *sigh..*
Seo Ho-yoon, who was still holding his position, crossed his arms and raised the corners of his mouth.

Seo Ho-yoon, still holding his ground, raised the corners of his mouth while crossing his arms.
“Oh my god?!”

“What the—?!”
[Like piglets always do…]

[Like piglets always do…]
Just a free fist cries
[Where’s Halloween going right now?
Just free X fists are crying

Lim
└└I knew Seo Ho-yoon.
└└???? how?? Eat it like Uncle Kirby?
└└I knew Seo Ho-yoon though
└└???? How?? Did he swallow him like Kirby?
└└Don’t know

Why does Jung Da-jun know about this lol
“Hmm.”
“I wonder what’s going on with my brother and Yi-chae~?”

“Did I do something wrong?”
Seo Ho-yoon said calmly while looking at Kang Yi-chae, who was relaxed.

Watching Kang Yi-chae’s carefree demeanor, Seo Ho-yoon spoke matter-of-factly.
“ok?”

“Huh?”

Caught off guard by the unexpected remark, Kang Yi-chae hesitated before nodding.
“It was set to automatically update at night when connected to charge.”
“…Yeah. I did?”
“When you plug it in to charge, it’s set to update automatically at night.”
“Haha. You notice everything. Yeah, I guess that’s how it is. I wonder if it’s updated by now?”

“…What?”

Kang Yi-chae’s relaxed expression faltered slightly. Seo Ho-yoon leaned forward, pulling away from where his back had been resting against the chair.
“……eh??”

“…Huh??”
[UNTRANSLATED LINE 359]

For someone who usually saved files on his desktop with names like “FINAL_REAL_FINAL_FINAL222222_WAIT_THIS_IS_ACTUALLY_THE_FINAL_SERIOUSLY_NOT_LYING_THIS_TIME_IS_FINAL,” this was scarier than any ghost story.

“…!!!”

In an instant, Kang Yi-chae’s face drained of all color.
evil
[Oh

Kang Yi-chae’s phone is on vibrate
└└ and the counter punch is strong hahahahahahahaha]

The counter punch is intense lol

Then he bolted upright and fled the filming set.

【All the production staff, having experienced save files disappearing due to automatic updates, decided to warmly understand his sudden outburst.】

“Look at the subtitles, damn it lol”

【20 minutes later….】

“Huff, huff, huff….”

Kang Yi-chae reappeared with disheveled hair, breathing heavily.

“Back already?”

Seo Ho-yoon greeted him warmly.
[hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha]
[Wow his personality is really terrible]

If Seo Ho-yoon acts warm, you absolutely have to avoid him lol
“Really? I’m glad.”
“Phew, haa, the files—some of them are still here. I lost a few files I’d worked hard on, but….”
“Really? That’s a relief.”

“Do you know why your files are still there?”

Kang Yi-chae’s eyes, which had been glaring resentfully, filled with confusion.

“…!!”

The moment Seo Ho-yoon finished speaking, Jung Da-jun’s exclamation burst out from behind.
“I heard you flew away yesterday.”
“Oh! That’s right! Yesterday Ho-yoon was doing something with Yi-chae’s laptop!”

“…!!”

With Kim Sung-hyun’s testimony added, Kang Yi-chae clapped his hand over his mouth in shock.

“And you know what?”

Seo Ho-yoon wore a sly smile on his lips.

“Just in case, I backed them up.”

“I have the recovered files.”
[Fuck hahahahahahahahaha]

Holy shit lmaooooooooooooooooo

“Seo Ho-yoon!!”

Seo Ho-yoon smoothly dodged as Kang Yi-chae tried to embrace him, brushing back his bangs that were irritating his eyes.
“I will offer it to you!!”
“I’d like some sikhye with a floating egg yolk….”
“I’ll prepare it for you!!”
“It would be nice if you made it yourself.”
“…How do you even make sikhye?”

“No, I’m not!!”
[Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha”]

Hahaha damn it hahaha I’m losing it stars hahahaha
Seo Ho-yoon, who had acquired a red-haired slave on Halloween, returned to the semicircular table and sat down.
As if on cue, “Parachute” was inserted as the BGM. Every time the lyrics “Your slave,” “No~ yes~” flowed through, Kang Yi-chae’s face was zoomed in for a close-up.

Sung Ji-won, sitting beside me, asked as he looked at me.
“iced coffee.”

“Ah.”

As if I’d heard an amusing question, I slowly curved my lips into a smile.

“….”
[Fuck hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha]

Damn hahahahahaha
