Chapter 242
Three days before Kang Si-yoon's birthday, February 10th, a birthday advertisement prepared by Seleves went up at Jamsil Station.
As we expected a large crowd, we planned to go out at dawn as we had previously discussed, drop off gifts and letters, and quickly return.
Of course, a quick and easy means of transportation was essential, so Manager Hyung's joining us was very important.
"Do, do I have to come out at 4 in the morning too?"
"For the success of this perfect operation, you are absolutely necessary! Look, Karis is begging too!"
"...He's just standing there?"
"Hey! What are you doing!"
Kang Si-yoon scolded me as he saw me standing there blankly.
"Hurry up and bow your head like me!"
"Why does it have to be like this...."
"You're making me write 5 letters. Really?"
"...Please, hyung."
The manager, who had been at a loss at our one-sided request, finally said yes.
With all the conditions necessary for the dawn infiltration action in place, we waited for the dawn of February 10th.
"Okay, the gifts are ready, and hey, did you put the photo cards inside properly?"
"I checked twice. They're all in place."
"I'm feeling uneasy for no reason."
"If you were going to feel uneasy, why did you leave all 25 of them to me?"
"I was lazy back then!"
We finished the last check while listening to Kang Si-yoon's ridiculous logic.
Since he said we'd probably fall asleep if we lay down in bed, we decided to go down to the living room and kill some time.
"Hyungs, it's kind of like that."
"What?"
"You know, the two-person petty thief in a gag movie."
"Hey bro, what do you mean, is your hyung a petty thief?"
"No, I was just giving my honest impression! Your beanie really doesn't suit you."
"Okay, I'll take it off! Thanks for the good opinion!"
"That doesn't sound like gratitude at all."
When I went down to the living room, I met Yoo Min-ha and Ji Yoon-chul playing a game on the Playbox as usual.
Yoo Min-ha immediately criticized the black beanie on Kang Si-yoon's head.
On the other hand, my black ball cap got a thumbs-up from the two younger brothers.
"As expected, Karis hyung looks good in anything!"
"I should buy one of your caps, hyung."
"This is really comfortable. It's also stretchy."
"Yeah, is this a picture where Karis monopolizes the compliments?"
The furious Kang Si-yoon, tickled Yoo Min-ha's armpit.
Yoo Minha, who is vulnerable to tickling, let go of the console in his hand with a hearty laugh.
"Hand it over, I'll play!"
"Ahahaha! Hahahak! Ah, hyung! Stop, stop! I was wrong! I'll hand over the console! Pleease!"
"Take it, it's still too early to get out."
In the end, Yoo Minha had to return to the sofa with Kang Siyoon's beanie forcibly worn on his head.
I stared at him blankly and said briefly.
"No matter how I look at it, Minha, you don't look good in a beanie either."
"Ah, really? I've heard that I look good in a cap."
"Hmm, I'll try wearing it."
"That won't work. Hyung is a bit of a balance destroyer, so he's out."
Yoo Minha checked his face with his cell phone, then immediately threw away Kang Siyoon's beanie.
"It really doesn't suit?"
"I don't lie."
"Siyoon hyung, don't ever wear this beanie! I'll lend you my hat, so wear that!"
That's it. We reached the final conclusion that Kang Siyoon's beanie was the culprit. The hat that Yoo Min-ha brought was definitely much better than Kang Siyoon's beanie, which had a strange shape.
We barely escaped the two-person thief duo and waited for dawn to deepen while playing a game of brawl with the two younger brothers.
In the process, Yoo Min-ha, who couldn't endure my one-sided beating, retreated to his room after screaming, "I won't do it!"
Ji Yoon-chul asked with his sparkling eyes.
"...Hyung. Please tutor me."
"I'll tell you in advance, the path to becoming my disciple isn't easy. Is that okay?"
"It's okay."
"It's like choosing a thorny path when there's a smooth road in front of you. Your fingers will be very sore from now on. Are you really okay with that?"
"Yes."
"Good. I have received your will."
Kang Si-yoon glanced at us and clicked his tongue.
"If someone saw you, they would think you were going to learn some special forces martial arts."
"Si-yoon, this is that hard. However, the reward is just as hard. If Yoon-chul can absorb my teachings well, he will be able to beat you in 2 minutes."
"Hey, that's a bit too much."
"...I'll learn well, hyung."
"Why is he so excited again?"
Ji Yoon-chul nodded resolutely after hearing that he could beat Kang Si-yoon.
It was like the Doberman puppies we had met at the commercial shoot.
I was a little worried whether Ji Yoon-chul could keep up with my old-time techniques, but the youngest's will was firm.
Ji Yoon-chul, who is one of the sleepiest people in Seleste along with Chae Eun-gyu, tried to follow my teachings without showing any signs of sleepiness.
"If we keep doing this, wouldn't it be a huge hit if a content where idols actually play games opens?"
Kang Si-yoon turned the circuit of hope while practicing sparring with Ji Yoon-chul.
Honestly, I didn't think there would be any game-related content at all.
Idol content is being carried out in so many different forms these days, and Korea has always been a country with a developed game industry and culture.
"If such a competition really happens, I have to make sure I win."
"Until then, I'll definitely become a master like you, hyung."
As we got absorbed in the game, time passed very quickly.
Before I knew it, it was the time we had promised with Manager hyung, so we left the dorm with our luggage that we had already brought to the front door, leaving a message for Ji Yoon-chul to go to sleep.
"Hyung, did you get up after sleeping for a while?"
"I've slept since 8 o'clock."
"Thank you very much."
"No, no."
Manager hyung burst into laughter at my words.
"I just woke up thinking about the last World Cup game, and it was fine."
In places with a large time difference, it's common to wake up early in the morning when watching a World Cup game.
But it's easier said than done, and I always feel grateful to Manager hyung for taking the time for us.
We arrived at Jamsil Station after running through the deserted streets.
There were a few citizens coming out to catch the first train, but it was still very quiet compared to the daytime or evening hours.
We thought we could quickly put down the gifts we prepared and get out.
"Then, I'll stop here for a bit, so be careful and come back."
"Yes!"
"Yes."
"You guys look really excited?"
"It's like we're on a spy mission; isn't it fun!"
When Kang Si-yoon said something soaked in dopamine, the manager laughed in disbelief.
"Anyway, be careful on your way back."
"We'll go and come back faster than light!"
We each held a shopping bag and carefully rode the escalator down to Jamsil Station.
We were nervous and cautious of our surroundings, wondering if any fans would recognize us, but fortunately, we chose the right exit, and there was no one.
"It feels a little old, doesn't it?"
"I remember we weren't this careful back then on
"Back then, I actually wanted everyone to see me. Other than that, it felt a bit like when I was doing the Hallabong Finding Mission."
"Um, when I hid all your Hallabongs."
"Oh my, I was so scared back then."
We walked through the underground passageway, feeling a little bit alert. If we ran around openly, it would have looked suspicious.
As we went down the stairs one more time, we could clearly see the billboard celebrating Kang Si-yoon's birthday.
The billboard we were going to visit had a picture of Kang Si-yoon with tears in his eyes when we won the Album of the Year award at KAMA.
"Oh, I feel embarrassed because I'm crying. Did I really open my eyes like that?"
"To be honest, I was so touched that I didn't even have time to look at the person next to me."
Kang Si-yoon immediately raised the corners of his mouth as if he had seized the opportunity after hearing my words.
"Please, Seleves. Please put up an ad with a picture of Karis crying a lot."
"Unfortunately, I only said I was touched, not that I shed tears."
"You seem like a person without blood or tears."
"Unfortunately, I have both blood and tears. Siyoon."
While having this ridiculous conversation, we quickly and accurately divided up the tasks we had to do and moved forward.
While Kang Si-yoon was packing up the gifts as neatly as possible, I quickly used tape to stick the letter paper to a high place that most people wouldn't be able to remove.
Then, we quietly moved like shadows and escaped from the underground of Jamsil Station, got into Manager Hyung's car, and gave a high five with heavy breathing.
"Undercover was a great success!"
"You didn't get caught? Really?"
"Fortunately, there weren't that many citizens."
I was also happy at the thought that the counterattack operation had been successful.
Now all that was left for us was.....
"Let's go back and sleep. I'm so sleepy."
"Me too."
"Oh, wait a minute, guys. Since we've come this far, let's just film one video to post on Tic Tac Tok."
"Failed to leave work......."
We expected to go straight to our dorm and get a good night's sleep, but we were finally free after filming a short video with Seokchon Lake in the background.
When we finally entered the dorm, there was one person who greeted us.
It was Ji Yoon-chul, who had been playing a game on Playbox all this time.
"Yoon-chul, aren't you sleepy? How did you play until now?"
"It was fun, so I just waited for you guys."
"Really? I should see how much you've grown in the meantime."
"Come in."
Captivated by Ji Yoon-chul's extraordinary energy, we stayed up all night until we saw the sun rise.

While the members were celebrating the surprise reversal and playing games all night at the dorm, small sightings began to appear on SNS.
-(Video) @cocochocobee I just stopped by on my way to work, aren't these the guys you like?? They were doing something here and there, but I have a transfer issue so I can't see them for longㅠㅠ
└No, what the f*ck is this
└Is this right??? It really seems like it was Karis and Siyoon....
└ㅜㅜㅜㅠㅜThank you. I think they went out at dawn on purpose. They didn't even sleep and they're so amazing..... ♡♡
└Your friend Yeppi doesn't even sleep and goes to work at dawn, so don't you think I'm even more amazing?
-(Photo) I think Siyoon and Karis went here this morning!! I don't think they were there until last night, but I just got there and when I looked at the electronic board, there were letters and autographs on the wall....ᵒ̴̶̷̥́ ·̫ ᵒ̴̶̷̣̥̀
└(Photo) they also put together several Polaroids that looked like they were taken in front of the electronic board!! I'm sharing these two together....♡♡
-(Quote) Gift Basket Point Phrase 'A gift for my beloved Seleves!! Promise one for each person!' 'Have a nimble day today (but be safe)' What the f*ck, stop searching for Kang Si-yoon memes ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
└Wow, anyone who looks at the handwriting can tell it's Kang Si-yoon's handwriting.
-(Quote) I was running at Seokchon Lake this morning and I saw two tall guys wearing exactly the same outfit and taking Tic Tac Tok selfies.
└Is this real??! Why didn't you take a picture?
└Hahaha, that's true
That's because the smartwatch is at the level of giving heart rate warnings...
Because I saw them? No, I really feel like I'm going to fall over if I run
└It's too much, the silhouette itself would have been different, but you should have taken a picture of it!!!
└Run for 30 minutes without stopping, you little brat
└I'm sorry, unni. What you said was right.
└I just saw a picture of them sticking a gift on Jikwang and I've done a subway run day, but now I can't see anything
└Unni is a martial arts master. She can just go into the volcano.
The story of Kang Si-yoon and Karis stopping by the Jamsil Station billboard in the early hours of the morning and leaving gifts spread quickly.
Seleves who were lucky enough to receive gift packages shed tears at Kang Si-yoon's sincerity that went one step further.
Those who missed this surprise event couldn't help but shed tears of regret as they looked at the proof posts that were posted on SNS.
Seleves who cried and laughed at the news of this surprise event waited for Kang Si-yoon's birthday on February 10th.
Seleste, who always turns on Star Us Live on the members' birthdays, especially prepared a birthday party with unique content every time, so everyone was very excited.
Furthermore, since it was Kang Si-yoon's birthday, who was known to be the most crazy in the group, everyone was curious about what would happen.

No one could have imagined that a live with such a strange title would be turned on.
