280

This time, Jung Da-jun waved both arms side to side in a greeting all by himself.

“Hello, Noeul~~!!”

[Ugh, Da-jun, why’d you turn it on again?]

“You’re crazy!”

Jung Da-jun grumbled in an indignant tone, as if to say ‘How could you say that to The Dun’s most handsome member, Jung Da-jun?’ and ‘Cancel it quickly before I get upset.’ Seeing the flood of fan messages pouring in to appease him, Jung Da-jun laughed playfully again and spun the camera around to show the surroundings.
Seeing the fans’ messages pouring in like they were trying to soothe him, Jung Da-jun laughed playfully again and spun the camera around to show his surroundings.

“I wanted to show the new office to Noeul Fans since we moved! The WH Management Team asked me to promote it too! I originally planned to do this with Ho-yoon, but right now I’m with Yi-chae… uh, anyway!”

It was true that WH Entertainment had casually mentioned, ‘Since we moved offices, please promote it in various places.’ But that didn’t mean they’d asked for a massive exposure through an unauthorized live broadcast.
It was true that WH Entertainment had casually mentioned in passing, “Since we’ve moved offices, please promote it here and there quite a bit.”
[Wow, what’s up with WH lately?

[Wow, what’s going on with WH?
Wow, what’s going on with WH?
The live broadcast had already started, and Jung Da-jun was already moving around, capturing everything on screen.

The live performance had already started, and Jeong Da-jun was already moving around and capturing everything on the screen.
The live stream had already started, and Jung Da-jun was already moving around, capturing various spots on camera.
[First time seeing WH in this much detail]

[This is my first time seeing WH Lee Yeol in such detail]
I’m seeing this for the first time explained in such detail by Lee Yeol at WH.
The practice room, brightly lit with mirrors covering all four walls, had expensive flooring installed for safety even with vigorous movement. There was the vocal practice room with thorough soundproofing and state-of-the-art audio equipment, the composition and recording studio packed with various devices and instruments, and even a restaurant where every meal was served buffet-style.

The practice room was brightly lit and covered with mirrors on all sides, and had expensive flooring to make it safe to move freely. There was also a vocal practice room with thorough soundproofing and equipped with the latest sound machines, a composition and recording room filled with various equipment and instruments, and even a restaurant where every meal was served as a buffet.

“Wow!!”

The sunsets were surprised by the appearance that was more beautiful than expected, and Jeong Da-jun also opened his mouth wide.

“Awesome, is there something like this here??”

[Oh crazy hahahahaha you haven’t seen it yet?! [#182]

[Mr. Dajun
[Da-jun

└As a K-pop fanatic in the corner of my room, I think I would be better at guiding the WH tour]

Jeong Da-jun rolled his round eyes here and there and looked around as if he was curious, but when he saw the employees, he spoke to them casually and said hello.

“Hello~~!!”
“Hello~~!!”

[Dajun Jeong is from California]
[Jung Da-jun’s got that California vibe]
The staff greeting me are confused, I am also confused]

At that time, Kim Seong-hyun, who had been rolling around in the practice room that Joo Woo-sung usually used, appeared at just the right time, his face looking frazzled.

“Ha… it was useful….”

I’m not sure what the benefit was, but Jeong Da-jun, who didn’t really want to know, just tilted his head slightly.

“You know, it feels very sacred because it has something in it.”
“You know, when you go in there, it feels so sacred and—.”

Jeong Da-jun, who cut off his words like a knife, led Kim Seong-hyeon back to the restaurant.
Jung Da-jun cut him off sharply and led Kim Sung-hyun back to the restaurant.

“What is the best here?”
“What’s supposed to be the best thing here?”
“The hamburger steak here is amazing!!”

[No, I asked Seonghyun Kim and he said he was eating kimchi stew hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

└He was really The Dawn too….]

[If you were going to do this in the first place, why did you ask, Seonghyun?]

Jeong Da-jun, who finished one plate cleanly and put on a second plate, mumbled with food until his mouth was full.

“…Um, but bro, we should turn off the live performance at this point, right? Our stuff isn’t in the museum yet—.”
“…Mmm, but hyung, shouldn’t we turn off the live stream around now? The Museum hasn’t featured our—.”
“—Noeul fans, that’s all for now! See you next time!!”

Jeong Da-jun, who accidentally spilled something about the museum, covered his mouth with both hands and at the same time the screen went dark and the live video suddenly ended.

[Guys, is The Dawn Museum really opening??]

[Hey, I’m glad they’re from the current generation.
[Thank goodness they’re in this era at least

[UNTRANSLATED LINE 95]

Also, the Nouls giggled as they thought about Jeong Da-jun, who spoiled Ocean Train before the album was even released, wondering if they were getting scolded by their older brothers and being punished for not opening their mouths.

[I guess the kids are a little excited about the move haha, they’re so cute haha]
[I guess the kids are a little excited about the move haha, they’re so cute haha]

[What is the situation right now? Why are you posting something like that? Are you clueless?

└I heard you were asked separately by the management team.
└The management team specifically asked them to
└└So, haha, it would be a shame if he didn’t show up.

[I’m an indie fan since Second Chance
[I’ve been a fan since Second Chance
But honestly, I’d be excited to brag about it too,,,,,,,,
From that building with the broken AC and water leaking from the ceiling… where? The kids were practicing there with tears and snot, and then suddenly they became WH idols…
What kind of fantasy novel development is that]

High Five fans were distraught when they heard these words, even from across the street. But it was a bit awkward to say something out loud.
Whenever High Five fans heard comments like these, even in passing, they felt conflicted. Yet they couldn’t openly criticize either.

[UNTRANSLATED LINE 117]
[The reason the Dun kids are nice is that they are polite not only to their own fans, but also to other fans… But that doesn’t mean they don’t feel bad…]
[The Dun members are kind, that’s true… they’re respectful not just to their own fans but to other fandoms too… but that doesn’t mean feelings aren’t hurt…]
[Actually, on “Wanna Sing With Me?” they took really good care of Yeon-hoo…
Of course, when you think about it, it was the company’s fault…

The spark between The Dawn and High Five fans gradually extended to the company.

[No, but WH fuck, please let Hapa go live]
[Seriously, WH, let High Five do live broadcasts too]

As the fandom continued to secretly talk about each other, an alarm rang for the sunsets again.

【Choose a roommate in your new accommodation】

It was an alarm that a live broadcast was about to begin.

[Hey, the Dawn is strong]

[No, WH, you don’t normally do live shows twice a day, right? 3 live a day??

└The Dawn can do this hahahaha crazy]

The only thing visible on the screen was a strangely familiar door.

“Doo!!”

A moment later, Jeong Da-jun burst open the door and appeared.

[tlqkf really?]
[Is this real?]

And the new accommodation that was revealed was an apartment known for its tight security and defense, which was frequently used as a lodging by any popular group from WH Entertainment.
The newly revealed dorm was an apartment that any successful group under WH Entertainment would use at least once—famous for its thorough security and fortifications.

[Security here is really strict]
[The security here is seriously tight]

Although it was not revealed externally, The Dawn was suffering from a number of sasaengs that seemed to increase in proportion as its popularity increased.
Though not openly acknowledged, The Dun suffered from an increasing influx of sasaeng fans proportional to their rising popularity.

[WH has been famous for its good security since the beginning, so I’m trying to make myself feel a little better…]
[WH’s security has always been famous anyway, so I’m feeling a bit better about this..]
[Wow,, you can really tell the kids made it big

Jeong Da-jun, who was chatting excitedly while showing the empty living room, kitchen, and rooms as no furniture had been brought in yet, suddenly turned the angle to show his face and raised the corners of his mouth.

“Okay, now let’s start choosing a roommate with Noeul!”

Although it seemed impromptu, all of this was suggested by Seo Ho-yoon and approved by the members.

[LOL Even if you go to a large group, you won’t change your spontaneous habit LOL]
Hahahahahaha ah, even going to the big leagues doesn’t fix his habit of being so spontaneous hahahaha

Excluding the dressing room, there were three rooms left, so only one person could have the room to himself.

“Well, I thought we should all get to know each other well by now, so we’ll pick a room in the order of who guesses the most about each member’s TMI! The problem is, we’ll choose from what Noeul gives in chat!”

Just as Jeong Da-jun was explaining how to select a roommate, Seo Ho-yoon, wearing a cast again, was caught on screen. He looked very haggard.
Just as Jung Da-jun was enthusiastically explaining the roommate selection method, Seo Ho-yoon appeared on screen again—this time with a cast on, looking utterly haggard.

[Hey Ho-yoon, is your ankle okay??]

Seo Ho-yoon had clearly been dancing just fine in the morning, but now he was covered in dressings from his feet to his calves and was leaning on crutches with both hands.

[No, Hoyun suddenly becomes Halloween]
[Wait, Ho-yoon suddenly turned into a Halloween costume]
[Ho-yoon, why is the bandage wrapped around your leg twice its size]
[Wait, are you really okay, Ho-yoon?? Did you get hurt?]

“It’s okay. Totally. I’m really fine.”

It was actually really okay.
I really was fine.

“—Well, since all the members are here, shall we give it a try? Who will be the first to challenge?!”
“—Alright, now that all the members are here, shall we begin? Who wants to go first?!”

As soon as the youngest finished speaking, Seo Ho-yoon raised his hand. The tone was calm, but the eyes were fierce.
Before the Maknae could finish speaking, Ho-yoon raised his hand. His tone was calm, but his eyes blazed with intensity.

“I am-.”

I will definitely stop you from taking up a solitary cell.

“—I will definitely get solitary confinement today.”

Even if he died, he wanted to die alone, and even if he was sick, he wanted to be sick alone.
I wanted to suffer alone, to hurt alone, even if it meant dying alone.

“Ohh.”

Kang Yi-chae, who was next to him, smiled and showed his teeth.

[Wow, but he’s really smart so I think he’ll get everything right]
[Wow but he’s seriously smart, I bet he’ll get them all right]

Seo Ho-yoon waited for the problem with a relaxed expression.
Ho-yoon waited for the questions with a composed expression.

“Ugh… solitary confinement.”
“Mm… a private room, huh.”
“Oh… a private room??”

As Seo Ho-yoon dismissed the members as pure and good children, there was one thing he overlooked.
Ho-yoon had overlooked one crucial fact in treating the members as innocent, kindhearted children.
That fact was: the members had also absorbed some of his personality through living with him.

“Anyway, I’m going.”

Kim Seong-hyun, who had switched places with Jeong Da-jun, felt that his premonition was not good for some reason, and chose one of the questions that came up in the chat window.

“TMI’s first question, um…what drink does Seong Ji-won hate?”
“TMI first question, um… what drink does Ji-won dislike?”

Seo Ho-yoon, who quickly shouted the name, immediately gave the correct answer.

“Seong Ji-won hates Sol O Noon. One time, while drunk, he took out Sol O Noon from the refrigerator and said, ‘Here’s the drink you don’t know why you like.’”
“Sung Ji-won dislikes Sol O-noon. Once, while drunk, he pulled it out of the refrigerator and said, ‘I don’t understand why you like this drink~.'”
“Wow…!”

While the members were responding appropriately, Seong Ji-won was the only one who smiled, looking slightly troubled.

“…Huh? Did I say that?”
“…Huh? Did I really say that?”
“…!”
“I don’t remember well… Haha. I don’t really dislike Sol O-noon that much.”
“You, you… what?!”

Seo Ho-yoon, who was suddenly betrayed by Seong Ji-won, got up without even using his crutches.

“You try drinking it right now.”
“Drink it right now.”

Kim Seong-hyeon, who thought something was going out of the ordinary, hurriedly read the problem he had selected in advance.

“Second TMI! What is Kang Yi-chae’s favorite song?”
“Second TMI! What’s Kang Yi-chae’s favorite song?”
“Seo Ho-yoon! Composer Lim Hyun-sung’s 201X release, Riot!!”

Kang Yi-chae, who shouted, pretended to be upset and lowered the tips of her eyebrows.

“To be exact, it is Riot Remix ver….”
“To be precise, it’s the Riot Remix ver…”
“There’s no such thing.”
“It’s an unreleased track by Chung Beom. I’m the only one who’s heard it in the work studio.”
“Hey!!”

From then on, even though Seo Ho-yoon answered all the questions correctly, such as Jung Da-jun’s favorite food, Kang I-chae’s taste in movies, and Sung Ji-won’s maximum vocal range, the members remained in ignorance and only repeated ‘Did you do that?’

“Quit, just!!”

Finally, Seo Ho-yoon, who exploded with anger, turned his back to the camera and declared a strike, saying he would not solve the problem.

[Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha so funny]
Haha that’s hilarious
“So you’re saying you’ll never give him what he wants, huh? lol”

Kim Seong-hyun comforted him by asking how it wasn’t a random draw, but of course it didn’t work.

“What number is The Dawn’s group ring that Seonghyun Kim is wearing?”
“What size is the group ring that Kim Sung-hyun is wearing?”

While the members who heard the problem were wandering around without knowing the answer, Seo Ho-yoon, who was now lying down on the sofa and feeling helpless, suddenly lifted his head.

“…Seo Ho-yoon. No. 19.”
“…Seo Ho-yoon. Size 19.”
“….”

Eight pairs of eyes naturally focused on Seonghyun Kim.

“ah….”

Seo Ho-yoon was confident of the correct answer because he had seen the size directly next to Kim Seong-hyun when matching the group ring.
Since I had seen the sizing firsthand when the group rings were being fitted next to Kim Sung-hyun, I could be certain of the answer.

“…but I’ve lost weight these days??”

He said, and turned away.

“Get a tape measure. Quick.”

[You see Kim Seong-hyun never misses this opportunity]
[Look at Kim Sung-hyun not missing this opportunity]
Today Tokki is totally getting dominated lol

There’s no way there’s a tape measure in an empty lodging where not a single piece of luggage has been moved.
There was no way a measuring tape would be in the empty dormitory where not a single box had been moved in yet.
My pride thoroughly wounded, I flopped down hard on the floor. The members paid me no mind and continued deciding on roommates.
And the final victor was Kim Sung-hyun.

“I will choose solitary confinement.”
“I’ll choose a private room.”

The next person with the most correct answers was Jeong Da-jun.

“Oh, then I’ll spend it with Hoyun hyung!!”
“Oh, then I want to room with Ho-yoon Brother!!”
“Ah~.”
“What’s with that tone!! Brother!!”

Jeong Da-jun stuck out his lower lip and pouted, then added a word in the same tone as Seo Ho-yoon.

“Anyway, it’s the same room as me~”
“Anyway, I’m already in the same room as you~.”

[UNTRANSLATED LINE 323]
[LOL Wow, these kids are so fucking strong LOL]

Then he quickly turned his head towards Kang I-chae and Seong Ji-won and clapped.

“Anyway, congratulations!! Kang Yi-chae and Seong Ji-won! You two have become roommates!!”
“Anyway, congratulations!! Kang Yi-chae, Sung Ji-won! You two have been paired as roommates!!”
“…Huh? Is that how it works?”
“Eh?”

[No, both Kang Yi-chae and Seong Ji-won
[Wait, both Kang Yi-chae and Sung Ji-won

…so cute

└No, here?]

[Haha.. Our styles don’t match each other…
[Hh.. their styles don’t really match though…

└How can you hide the smile on your lips?
└At least hide that smile on your face when you say it

Behind Seong Ji-won and Kang Yi-chae, who awkwardly shouted that they were happy, Jung Da-jun was seen clinging to Seo Ho-yoon and saying, ‘Hyung, I have to go to bed at 11 o’clock, and I want you to turn off the lights, and sometimes I can only sleep when I listen to music.’ The live ended with Kim Seong-hyun running close to the camera next to him.

[I was so happy for the three live performances… The kids were so excited today, they had a high school vibe. It felt like they were on a high school field trip, so it was so cute…]
[I was so happy for the three live performances… The kids were so excited today, they had a high school vibe. It felt like they were on a high school field trip, so it was so cute…]
[Suddenly my happiness circuits… feel like they could be reset. I think we can get along well with WH]
[First of all, the building is so sparkling and pristine…
The kids’ faces look so good…

.
.

A few days after that.
A few days later.

“Ah~. Live.”

He greeted with a smile on his face while holding a brush in one hand. After hearing Jeong Seon-ui’s story that WH Entertainment should not perform live without permission from the agency, he slightly tilted his head, pretending to be innocent as if he knew nothing.

“Oh my, I didn’t know there was a rule like that. I’m sorry.”
“Oh my, I didn’t know there was such a rule. I apologize for the trouble.”

Then he raised his mouth again and sipped his drink.

There is no sign of reflection on his smooth face.
Not a trace of remorse on that smooth face.
Absolutely no intention of listening.

It was the appearance of ‘Excuse me, but I should have taken a peek.’
