279

When a fire breaks out, what’s needed is the process of extinguishing it.
The Dun had become the center of controversy amid talk of acquisition and merger.
Seo Ho-yoon decided to seize this opportunity rather than blindly snuff out the spark.

[OMG!!! Live stream incoming lol ‘The Dun High School Talent Show Competition’]

The Noeul fans had assumed that once acquired, they would stream on WH Entertainment’s own platform instead of the Pop Pop they’d been using. However, no one had anticipated suddenly encountering a live stream without any prior announcement.
Those who had been relaxed suddenly scrambled to open the app and begin registering.

[Lol this is hilarious people rushing to sign up out of nowhere]
[You guys it’s linked anyway so registration takes 3 seconds come on]

In truth, this live stream was also a kind of demonstration for WH Entertainment—showing how The Dun had led themselves all this time.

As the live stream began and the brilliantly lit practice room came into view on camera, most fans immediately recognized where they were.

[Whoa this is the new building]

It wasn’t the shabby practice room they knew—the one that remained dim even with all the lights turned on.

[They moved fast after signing the contract looks like they relocated completely]
[Even if WH rushed things it’d be slower than this lol is WH in a hurry or is Ho-yoon in a hurry]

Though it was good news to think of The Dun continuing their practice and activities in such a place, the Noeul fans still felt uneasy at the thought of the acquisition and merger. They still didn’t know how WH Entertainment would proceed from here.
As the fans were contemplating how to react, Seo Ho-yoon suddenly popped out from the side and appeared on camera.
Fortunately, the cast had come off—both feet were neatly shod in sneakers.

“Hey, Noeul.”

[Wow! OMG!!!!!!!!!]
[Aww lol so cute our little rabbit]
[Crazy black hair Seo Ho-yoon is back, I love youㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ When everyone was crying about bleaching their hair, I only shaved my black hairㅠ]

And then, following that,

“Hey~~!!”
“Hello.”

Kim Sung-hyun with his school uniform shirt draped over a white tee, buttons completely undone; Sung Ji-won wearing his school uniform jacket with perfect precision; Kang Yi-chae with a green jersey pulled up to his neck, three white stripes clearly visible on his arms; and Jung Da-jun layering a boxy hoodie over his shirt.
The other members poked their heads out as well.

[This is the Wuchan Sae outfit!!!!
How are they so cute? Seriously, they’re way too cute]
[The Dun pulling off the high school concept so perfectly is just divine… The kids are genuinely so fresh, The Dun high school is flashing through my mind right now]
“I’ll do a girl group dance to this lolololol”

Standing with the members, leaning back so everyone was in frame for the camera, I gently rotated my ankle as I spoke.

“Give us a moment. We need to warm up, so let me do a quick run-through of our brilliant dawn first.”

With the fans bursting with anticipation, the members quickly aligned their formation and moved in perfect sync with the beat. The sound of their sneakers dragging in unison created a strangely satisfying sensation for the Noeul fans.
The moment our brilliant dawn ended, girl group masterpieces that we’d pre-searched on YouTube began playing in random order.
Songs from White Cherry, Lia Purple, and other tracks that any South Korean would recognize from just the opening notes came one after another.

[This is paradise…]
[So this is heaven…]
[Wow, I’m really grateful…]

As if this was nothing, Sung Ji-won asked with a bright smile.

“Noeul fans, is there anything you want to see?”

Just as the title suggested “talent show,” The Dun had prepared this surprise live performance with the intention of dancing to pretty much any song the Noeul fans requested.

[What are you gonna show us?? White Cherry please!!]
[Please Joo Woo-sung’s solo song MYTH!]
[Joo Woo-sung Joo Woo-sung Joo Woo-sung Joo Woo-sung Joo Woo-sung Joo Woo-sung Joo Woo-sung Joo Woo-sung Joo Woo-sung Joo Woo-sung Joo Woo-sung Joo Woo-sung encore encore encore encore encore encore encore encore encore encore encore encore]

“Joo Woo-sung’s song? Today’s supposed to be a girl group dance relay… does anyone know it?”

When Sung Ji-won’s gaze landed on the self-proclaimed and widely-recognized Joo Woo-sung enthusiast, Kim Sung-hyun shook his head.

“I’m worried I’ll be a burden since I can’t perfectly execute Joo Woo-sung’s choreography yet….”
“Me! Me, me!”

Jung Da-jun, who had been joking around with Kang Yi-chae behind the others after finishing the choreography, suddenly threw his hands up and bounded forward.

“Finally, the moment to showcase my skills has arrived.”

Jung Da-jun exhaled a long breath, blowing his bangs upward with a mischievous grin. He then positioned himself center stage and waited for the music to begin.

【The distance between you and me is merely a single breath
Can I stare your eyes】

While it might appear lacking compared to Joo Woo-sung, he didn’t miss a single beat and executed the key points with precision.
Moreover, the way he incorporated gestures into the empty spaces had become far more natural and stylish.

[Damn, Da-jun’s got serious swagger in his dancing]
[As expected… hanging around Kang Yi-chae… definitely picked up some cool vibes]

[Da-jun’s gotten taller???? Da-jun’s gotten taller???? Da-jun’s gotten taller?????

└Lifts in his shoes?
Hahahahaha no seriously it got huge!!hahahaha

【I want to be simple in front of you
Can I hold you tight】

Just as the chorus was ending, Kim Sung-hyun exchanged glances with the other members before suddenly calling out.

“Da-jun, we’re changing songs!”

Immediately, a bright and bubbly track burst through the speakers.

【I want to play a lot with you
I want to love this feeling】

It was “Skate,” a track by Awesome, a rookie girl group that had debuted not long ago.
Jung Da-jun let out a shriek before immediately breaking into an adorable, charming dance with a fresh expression.
The synchronization was 200% perfect, and the chat exploded.

Hahahahahahaha oh my gosh, our hamster
Yeah, cute really is reliable after all lol
“It’s a brand new song but the fact that you already know the choreography right away is so funny lol”

“Ho-yoon! Come on!”

At that moment, Seo Ho-yoon—who had been watching Jung Da-jun with an expressionless face, though it was really just his usual demeanor—stepped over and matched the choreography with him.

[Wait, Seo Ho-yoon knows it too?]
Seo Ho-yoon’s expression doesn’t change but he’s really nailing all the choreography details lolololol

【I want to play with you so much
I want to love this feeling】

As he showed off the famous pair choreography of skating in close contact with Jeong Da-jun, the endless chatter of sunsets died down for a moment.
Everyone had forgotten to type as they watched in awe.

[Magic, the lyrics suddenly look different when Seo Ho-yoon says it. Is it just me?]
[Seriously, his physicality is exceptional—when Seo Ho-yoon dances with that refreshing cuteness, you really feel the brightness come through]

“Woo~, dance refreshingly~.”
“Don’t change the concept~.”

At the same time, other members booed Seo Ho-yoon, who danced with a steady face the whole time. Seo Ho-yoon glanced at the members and stood closer to Jeong Da-jun, perhaps out of amusement.

[Fuck steadfast hahahahaha]
“JN is so stubborn lol”

Next, the moment I tried to make a dynamic movement by twisting my right ankle,

“Replace~!!”
“Oof!”

Kang Yi-chae pushed Seo Ho-yoon and grabbed Jeong Da-jun, robbing him of the pair spot.

Seo Ho-yoon, who was pushed out of nowhere, crashed into Kim Seong-hyun and rolled around on the floor of the practice room together.

[LOL Kang Ichae, what are you? LOL]

[I thought Kang Yi-chae was nice, but he pushed me away.

[UNTRANSLATED LINE 161]

[Look at Kim Seong-hyun and Seo Ho-yoon’s facial expressions hahahaha. Actually, even if it’s like me, they’re clueless haha]
Look at Kim Sung-hyun and Seo Ho-yoon’s expressions lolololol honestly I’d be the same way lol

“Kang Yi-chae, what are you doing now?!”
“Kang Yi-chae, what are you doing right now?!”

Even though the brothers were angry, Kang Yi-chae continued to dance slyly as if nothing had happened.
Even as his hyungs cried out in anger, Kang Yi-chae continued dancing with shameless composure.

“What should we dance next?”

[Why is Seong Ji-won looking at her warmly as if she were looking at her own grandchild?
[Why is Sung Ji-won looking at him with such warm, grandfatherly eyes?
He’s not even helping Seo Ho-yoon and Kim Sung-hyun up]
[He moved past it so naturally it feels like everyday life, which is hilarious]

As a few more songs passed by, the sunsets came to enlightenment. The Dawn is listening to all of the fans’ requests sequentially, regardless of their size.

[Hey, these guys can really dance anything they can dance]
[These guys really perform everything they can]
[You guys, The Dun is having a concert right now]
[You have to join. It’s basically a free concert]

Don’t miss this golden opportunity!
There was no way to miss such a golden opportunity!
The fans stopped hiding their desires and began making requests openly.
Despite it being advertised as a girl group relay dance, they shamelessly dragged out every famous choreography regardless of gender and demanded The Dun perform them all.
After two solid hours of this dance marathon finally ended, The Dun collapsed onto the practice room floor, breathing heavily.

[I am moved to tears. This is the usual level of an idol who has risen from small to mid-level to the first team…]
[I’m crying from the emotion. This is the true standard of idols who clawed their way up from a small company to the brink of the first tier…]
[These guys are… truly… the model idols of this generation.
Feeling down because of company work?

The songs are approximately 3-4 minutes long.
Each song lasted roughly three to four minutes.

“The sunsets really made up their minds this time.”

The Dawn took off everything they were wearing as school uniform tops and gathered in front of the fan wearing only a T-shirt.
The Dun members, having stripped off all their school uniform jackets, crowded in front of the fan wearing nothing but t-shirts.

[Wow, but how do these kids know all the choreography??]
[Wow, but how do they know all the choreography??]
So it’s hilarious how these crazy high school seniors act like they know all the boy group dances lol

It was clear that they had witnessed Seo Ho-yoon dancing without any deviation in real time, but when he saw a post criticizing him for not knowing the choreography, everyone immediately became alarmed, wondering if this was a new dispute.

[Seo Ho-yoon dances well?]

[Seo Ho-yoon’s choreography is very quick. Joo Woo-sung said he could memorize it after seeing it once or twice.

└Joo Woo-sung said that???
└Joo Woo-sung said that???
└└Yeah, he said it was his only advantage

However, people who saw the newly uploaded tweet were interested in whether the article was true. The captured content quickly spread to StarStar and the community, and eventually ended up being uploaded to live chat.

“Are you saying Ho-yun memorizes the dance and then dances it?”

And Seong Ji-won, who was drinking water and reading the text, happened to spot him.

“yes that’s right.”

[yes that’s right???]
[Yes, that’s right???]
[What????]

“It’s true….”

Sung Ji-won, who was frowning slightly as if he was bothered by the distrust of his fans, closed the lid of the water bottle and turned his head to Seo Ho-yoon, who was still exhausted with his back against the wall.

“Hoyoon!”

Then, Seo Ho-yoon, who heard that voice, slightly turned his body and pushed Jeong Da-jun forward.
Upon hearing that voice, Seo Ho-yoon subtly twisted his body and pushed Jung Da-jun forward.

“Hoyoon, let’s show it to ourselves!!”
“Ho-yoon, come on, let’s show them!!”
“No, I don’t have to.”

Seo Ho-yoon said he didn’t want to do it and held on, but the winner was Sung Ji-won.
Seo Ho-yoon resisted, insisting he didn’t want to, but ultimately Sung Ji-won emerged victorious.

[Wow, what is it? I can dance as soon as I see it.]
[Wow, seriously? He can nail it all just by watching]
[And he memorized the entire choreography, not just the highlight section…?]

As it was, the second round of the dance relay broke out.
Thus, the second round of the dance relay commenced.

Finally, about three hours after turning on the live broadcast, Seo Ho-yoon, whose face was flushed red, made a grumpy expression and approached the connected tablet to turn off the live broadcast.

“Oh, I won’t do it anymore.”

[Speak informally, please]

Seo Ho-yoon, who saw the chat posted at that time, raised his eyebrows.

“no.”

And the live ended.
And the live stream ended.

[Wham!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Fuck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!]
[Ahhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Damn it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!]

It was Seo Ho-yoon who always maintained a respectful attitude towards young fans.

[Oh, I won’t do it anymore. no. Drur… widely… Oh, I won’t do it anymore. no. Drur… widely… .]
[Alright, I’m done now. No. Click… tap… Alright, I’m done now. No. Click… tap…]
[I swear that was my peak summer back in high school

“Who needs VR? Seo Ho-yoon gives me 5D sensations.”

[Ho-yoon gets so casual with me sometimes… I get butterflies…

└Damn, Noeul Fans’ taste is really something lol
At a time when The Dawn’s fans were pondering the lingering feelings as if they were still satisfied with their stomachs after the live performance.

Even after the fans of The Dun had satisfied themselves with the live performance, they still seemed hungry for more, savoring the lingering aftertaste,
“Ah. That’s….”

“Ah. Well….”
Of course, the topic of conversation was the live broadcast that was turned on without permission.
A WH Planning Team Staff Member and The Dun’s Manager were in the middle of a conversation.

The Manager, looking flustered, rolled his eyes around before swallowing hard as he recalled Seo Ho-yoon’s words.

“Manager. I know the WH Entertainment staff will definitely say something if we turn on the live. I’ll handle everything, so just laugh generously and say one thing.”

The Manager closed his eyes tightly, then opened them, hesitating several times before finally opening his mouth.
“yes?”
“…Well, the kids are at such a young, mischievous age….”

“They don’t listen well even when you tell them. Haha!”

While the WH Entertainment Planning Team Staff Member was dumbfounded at such an excuse, the live alarm sounded again.

【Tour with The Dun’s Most Handsome】

As both the startled WH Entertainment Planning Team Staff Member and the Manager quickly turned on the live, this time Jung Da-jun alone was swinging both arms left and right in greeting.

“Hello, Noeul~~!!”
Because we were planning to do it live.

Because it was planned to proceed via live broadcast.

“Today, The Dun’s most handsome will be joining us!”

Jung Da-jun, who caught on to the intention surprisingly quickly, winked and readily participated in this plan.

Meanwhile, Seo Ho-yoon, gazing out the window inside the moving van, let out a quiet chuckle.
