Chapter 164
"... What is Siyoon Hyung making? "
"Well, I haven't heard the exact menu yet."
Since I was on an empty stomach, I honestly thought any menu would be fine.
No matter how good Kang Si-yoon is at teasing the members with his sly attitude, his cooking skills are real.
Kang Si-yoon had already cooked for me in my studio while I was doing
Ji Yoon-chul and I raised our cell phones to broadcast StarUs Live, which was watched by 90,000 people, and asked for Seleves' understanding.
"Seleve, it might be a little shaken, so please bear with me. Hyungbin Hyung suddenly came and said, Siyoon is making food, so we'll go up to the dorm."
"...Hold on tight."
Ji Yoon-chul spoke as if he were acting out a situation following me.
We carried our phones as carefully as we could, as if we were taking an airplane to our dorm.
―ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ So we're suddenly going to explore the dorm like this??
―I feel like a parrot when you carry it on your shoulder....
-The world's first parrot perspective star live ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-I think I'm going to get motion sickness, Captain!!
Although it was a sudden development, it seemed like the fans were quite happy that they were able to explore our dorm.
Well, the fun of these live broadcasts is watching unexpected situations unfold.
If the broadcast was conducted only within a set format, it could have easily become loose.
As I walked out of the practice room and toward our dorm, I thought back to the conversation I had with Ji Yoon-chul yesterday.
'Was it really necessary not to make thorough preparations?'
If I hadn't decided what to talk about on today's broadcast, I would have definitely gotten lost in the beginning.
But everyone seemed to like it even more because the development was so unexpected.
In the end, it means that an interesting broadcast can be created only by mixing preparation and improvisation.
In the future, I will have to take these points into consideration and make more classy broadcasts.
As soon as we arrived at our dorm, we heard the sound of water bubbling.
"Hey guys, are you here? "
"I came with Seleves."
"Oh, everyone! Hello! "
Yoo Minha heard us coming and ran towards the front door like a puppy.
Then he shoved his face right in front of the cell phone camera and waved his hands very quickly.
Because there was no schedule, Yoo Minha didn't have any makeup on his face.
Perhaps because of this, he boasted visuals that made him look much younger than his actual age.
-It's Minha!!!
―Min-ha with a bare face is cute ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ
―Min-ha is the best without makeup... Baby, baby
―MINHA I LOVE YOU
"You think I look like a middle school student? Ey, that's too much! And I don't look that young."
Yoo Minha, who was reading the comments, pretended to be angry and waved his index finger.
"I'm one of those people who will be taking the CSAT this year!"
"Don, don't bring up the CSAT!"
"Why, you should take it too, Yubin."
"I'm feeling nervous for no reason."
As soon as the topic of the college entrance exam came up, Heo Yu-bin, who had followed Yoo Min-ha, groaned.
Heo Yu-bin and Yoo Min-ha are 19 years old this year.
The college entrance exam, one of the hurdles one must pass before becoming an adult, is just around the corner.
"... Guys, are you going to take the CSAT?"
"Um, honestly, my grades would probably be a total mess, but I still want to give it a try since it's a once in a lifetime opportunity."
"I don't know...."
"Don't worry! I'll take you."
"Our schools are different, so the testing centers will be different, right?"
"Ah."
"Are you stupid?"
Heo Yu-bin skillfully teased Yoo Min-ha.
Although it is a rather unfamiliar sight, it means that the intimacy between the two same-age friends has increased that much.
Heo Yu-bin, who was usually teased for his position, has now acquired the ability to deal solid damage against Yoo Min-ha.
If I recall Heo Yu-bin covering himself with a blanket when I first met him, he has made great strides.
Meanwhile, Ji Yoon-chul, who heard the story between the two, opened his eyes wide as if he were surprised.
"... Will you have time? We'll probably be busy by then―"
"Ahh, Ahheem! Let's not stand here like this. Let's go inside quickly."
I reacted instantly and covered Ji Yoon-chul's mouth.
He almost casually told Seleve the news we had just heard yesterday.
If he says that we will be busy around November when the CSAT is, it would be like foreshadowing that our comeback is scheduled for then.
"Siyoon hyung is super busy right now!"
"He's boiling water and preparing ingredients like a chef by himself."
"Then let's go to the kitchen to see the sight. Come on, let's go."
I handed the phone over to Yoo Minha and gently pushed Ji back.
Then he whispered to me in a very small voice.
"... Did I almost spoil it just now?"
"Yes."
"...I'll be careful."
"I'm glad you know now."
As I moved to the kitchen, I saw Kang Si-yoon moving busily.
The steaming pot and neatly arranged ingredients told me what kind of dish he was making.
"Seleve, let me introduce you to today's chef!"
"Siyoon, please say something."
"What, why are you guys doing it instead of Karis and Yoon-chul?"
"I robbed it!"
"Don't say strange things so clearly."
Kang Si-yoon greeted Seleves and revealed today's dinner menu.
"I once had cream pasta with Karis. I still vividly remember how touched Karis was at how delicious it was."
"I wasn't that touched, Siyoon."
"Anyway! After we talked about that, the members kept saying they wanted to eat pasta, so it was hard."
Kang Si-yoon continued talking without even pretending to hear what I said.
"So today, we happened to have some ingredients, so I am making seafood cream pasta."
"It looks delicious!"
"Hyung, how long should the water boil?"
"Oho, you shouldn't cook in a hurry."
Ji Yoon-chul and I sat quietly in front of the kitchen table and watched the same age guys who had snatched our broadcast cell phone.
I don't know how it happened, but today's broadcast, which was originally Gaeanz's StarUs Live, had its MCs changed in the middle.
"Hungry."
"Hyung-nim, you haven't eaten anything either?"
"Yeah. Since Siyoon is making it, I'm going to eat a lot."
Song Hyung-bin, who stopped by the bathroom, said while handing out tableware.
"Come to think of it, what about Eun-gyu hyung nim―?"
"He is sleeping."
"Ah."
Chae Eun-gyu is sleeping. With just this one sentence, the three of us understood everything.
Because once he falls asleep, it's very difficult to wake him up.
Unfortunately, Chae Eun-gyu missed the chance to taste Kang Si-yoon's pasta.
For a while, Kang Si-yoon diligently cooked pasta, while Heo Yu-bin and Yoo Min-ha chattered endlessly, filling the audio.
After a long and arduous journey, a creamy pasta with an appetizing visual was presented before my eyes.
"It looks really delicious."
"You're right."
"...Can I eat it right away?"
Ji Yoon-chul was also holding a fork and fixing his gaze on his portion of pasta.
However, Kang Si-yoon, who is a broadcaster through and through, raised his hand and stopped the members.
"Wait a minute! We haven't fixed the phone yet. Let's watch Seleves eat."
"How do you fix the phone?"
"Just wait."
Kang Si-yoon looked around the kitchen and found boxes that could hold the cell phone.
Then he placed the cell phone at the front of the table and bowed.
"Please take a seat at the top and watch, everyone."
A perfect table setting, like you would see in a drama.
90,000 Seleves took their seats in the same place where the presidents usually sit and have their first drink.
"Seleves! I have a great idea!"
Yoo Min-ha, who really likes this kind of situational comedy, presented his idea.
"If you write 'Raise your spoon' in the comments, we'll eat then!"
"Aren't you supposed to say, 'Hold up your fork' to be exact?"
"Please choose one that's more comfortable"
Somehow, I felt like I was really sitting in front of the chairman.
Seleves laughed for a long time at the members' request that went beyond their imagination, and then wrote a message as requested by Yoo Min-ha.
-Seleste, pick up the spoon!!
―Pick up the spoon! Pick up the fork! Pick up the plate too!
-You ate so deliciouslyㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Wow, you're cute
―You guys are probably the only ones who ask fans to order them to eat....
Only then could we roll up the delicious pasta and put it in our mouths.
Since I had tried it once, I didn't react much and just kept playing with my fork.
"Wow, wow! Siyoon hyung, this is really delicious!"
"Hyung, why are you so good at cooking?"
"Oh, Siyoon, you made it well. It tastes just like the pasta I eat outside."
The members who first encountered Kang Si-yoon's cooking were amazed and gave him a thumbs up.
"Ahem! Of course, who am I?"
"You are literally light itself!"
"Siyoon, please cook for me often from now on!"
"I'll do it all if you just buy the ingredients."
Kang Si-yoon's shoulders were on the verge of rising to the sky, but I decided not to tackle him and just stay quiet for now.
After a delicious dinner, we patted our bellies and headed to our rooms.
Ji Yoon-chul and I went up to our room with our StarUs broadcast cell phones still on.
"This is the room that Yoon-chul and I use. Um, there's not much to show you."
I took the phone and spun around.
Since we both have neat personalities, our clothes and bedding were neatly organized.
Fans were very surprised to see the clean condition of the room.
"You said you were surprised because it was cleaner than you thought. Haha, actually, our room is a little special."
"... Later, when Yubin hyung or Eun-gyu hyung come out live...."
Ji Yoon-chul's words trailed off naturally.
Then Seleves spoke as if they already knew.
"Oh, that's right. The secrets were already revealed on
"Eun-gyu hyung also likes to sleep, unlike his image... That's why he was sleeping alone earlier and couldn't eat dinner."
Ji Yoon-chul, who found the comment asking if he should wake him up, shook his head with an indifferent expression.
"... It's really hard to wake up Eun-gyu hyung who's asleep. We've all given up."
"He tends to snore."
"That's right."
I had a feeling that if things continued like this, Chae Eun-gyu's image wouldn't be preserved.
I quickly changed the topic and lightened the mood.
"All the letters you gave me during the fan signing event are here."
All the gifts I received from fan signing events were carefully stored in one place.
I turned the phone camera to point at the box next to my bed.
I placed a black square storage box between the dolls and costumes on the side of the bed.
Inside, letters of various colors were carefully gathered together.
"Every night before I go to bed, I read the letters that Seleve wrote to me. Every time I read the letters, I feel like I can feel the love that Seleve has for me and the members, and I feel so happy. I always remind myself that I became an idol to feel this kind of feeling."
I looked into the camera and spoke in a sincere tone.
"Thank you so much, Seleve. Aitäh."
When I said thank you in Estonian, Seleves watching the broadcast were momentarily shocked.
-What did Karis just say??
―I think Karis spoke Estonian??
―OMG Karis just said Thank you in Estonian!! I'm crying in tears
―Me armastame sind!! (We love you too)
"Yes, it's Estonian. Aitäh means thank you. Stay tuned, I'll be teaching you some useful words in the future."
Seleves were clamoring for me to speak more Estonian right away, as they saw a side of me they don't usually see.
To add insult to injury, Ji Yoon-chul, who was sitting next to me, also sat up straight.
"I want to learn too, hyung."
That's how an Estonian conversation class was suddenly opened.
I put aside my thoughts about going live as planned and happily continued my conversation with the Seleves.
We didn't even realize that four hours had already passed since we first turned on the broadcast.
