Chapter 247
In
However, since returning to the real world, I've been among those who sleep very leisurely, so I've sometimes fallen into deep sleep.
However, today, for some reason, I could hear a little bit of a jarring sound in my ears.
It wasn't so much that it bothered me, so I didn't wake up and continued to sleep.
"...Aaaaaaaah!"
I couldn't help but wake up to the sound of someone screaming in the distance.
"....What the hell is going on?"
I opened my eyes slightly as I pushed the blanket aside. Judging from the darkness outside, it seemed like it was still dawn.
I sat on the bed in a half-asleep state for a moment, but then I stirred when I heard the noise outside again.
When I opened the door and went out, there was a delicious smell of someone grilling meat.
'What are they doing as a group without sleeping?'
At first, I thought they were playing a game. These days, whenever they have a break, everyone turns on Yoo Min-ha's Playbox and gathers around to play a game.
However, the loud noise was coming from the kitchen, not the living room.
I trudged to the kitchen and said in a deep voice.
"What the hell is going on?"
"Oh, oh, oh! Karis, are you awake?"
"See, I told you? If this keeps up, Karis will wake up?"
"No, if you guys had just been watching the meat being grilled in the first place, this wouldn't have happened. I'm really being wronged."
Kang Si-yoon came out barefoot to greet me.
Behind him, the members were crowded around the table, looking at the frying pan.
I turned my head left and right to figure out what was going on.
On one side of the kitchen, it seemed like someone was frying beef.
On the other side, for some reason, the scent of the ocean wafted. Upon closer inspection, I saw green seaweed stems scattered here and there.
There was so much seaweed that it was overflowing from four bowls.
As soon as I saw the seaweed, I realized what the members had been secretly preparing.
'They were making seaweed soup for my birthday.
The members probably wanted to feed me, who was born overseas, Korean birthday food.
When I looked across the table, I saw the cellphone and stands that we use for Star Us Live setup.
They had even been hosting a cooking show for the Seleves since dawn.
"Hello, Seleves. Good dawn."
When I went in front of the camera and bowed, Seleves were incredibly happy and greeted me in various languages.
-Hello Karis!!♡♡
-I missed youㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ
-Idols who look at the camera as soon as they open their eyes are super cool
-Happy Birthday Karis!! XOXO
-誕生日おめでとう!! (Happy Birthday!! (Happy Birthday!!)
"You came to see the live broadcast this early....... Aren't you all tired?"
-It's okay. I woke up as soon as I saw Karis's face
-Wow, but how can your skin be so good with a bare face....
-What kind of cosmetics does Karis use, please
-You're so damn handsome....
-Is that really your face from waking up from sleep?
Everyone was amazed at my bare face.
I couldn't give a detailed answer to the fan who asked me what kind of cosmetics I use.
It's not like I can say, 'I got SSS stats for my appearance'.
I laughed a little and asked if the members were causing inconvenience.
-Watch it again, it's super fun
-ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Ask Siyoon
-Ngl it was very very fun XD
-The mics overlapped so much I couldn't hear what they were saying, but it was still funny
Well, it's rare for guys to turn on a live broadcast this early to celebrate a member's birthday.
They were all very passionate, but....
"I'm sorry, Karis."
"Yes?"
"Since Yoon-chul ordered 20 servings of seaweed, it seems like we'll have to live off of only seaweed for the time being."
"Yes?"
In the end, the members created a scene I've never seen before in my life.
Kang Si-yoon sighed deeply as he completed his mission.
After turning off the induction stove and preparing to put the meat in the water, he spoke to the members in a tone that suggested he had given up everything.
"I have one favor to ask, everyone."
"Please?"
"What?"
Kang Si-yoon pointed to the seaweed that was still slowly growing in the bowl.
"We have to do something about that among ourselves. We can't just make seaweed soup for 20 servings, so come up with an idea of what we can make with the seaweed. Okay?"
However, the members who didn't even know the basics of cooking had no idea what other dishes existed besides seaweed soup.
"Is there anything else besides seaweed soup?"
"Let's just eat seaweed soup three times a day."
"I'm sick of it! Aren't you all sick of it?"
"Well, if you're sick of it, Karis will eat it all."
"Why is the responsibility falling on me?"
Suddenly, 20 servings of seaweed were forcibly given to me as a gift.
I shook my head and searched for seaweed recipes on my phone.
"Seaweed salad looks simple, and there's also a way to make pancakes with seaweed and other ingredients."
"Those two are pretty good. Do you have the recipes?"
"Yes."
"Can you send it to me? I'll refer to it and make it later."
Still, Kang Si-yoon tried to use the 20 servings of seaweed appropriately, befitting his title as Seleste's chef.
He checked the recipe I sent him via private message and said it was easy enough.
"Hey, I'm glad you helped me out."
"Hmm, hmm. It looks pretty hard, Siyoon."
"Don't talk nonsense... Have you ever seen seaweed soup with Korean beef sirloin in your life? Oh, what am I talking about? You've never even had seaweed soup in the first place. Oh, I really have no sense."
I looked at Kang Siyoon, who was tapping his forehead, and tried to figure out what was going on as best as I could.
Why on earth was a set of ultra-premium Korean beef in the place where seaweed soup was being made, and why were there so many bowls of seaweed in a corner of the kitchen?
I guess I'll have to watch the broadcast again later to see what happened while I was sleeping.
"You really don't know... What happened just now...."
"Looking at your expression, I don't really want to know."
"I didn't know making seaweed soup would be this hard. I'll have to tell Mom thank you next time."
Kang Si-yoon sighed again as he dipped the stir-fried meat into the boiling water.
I patted his shoulder and joined the members at the table.
Now that I think about it, why were the members just sitting at the table and watching Kang Si-yoon cook alone?
"Is it okay if you don't help him cook?"
"We failed when we tried to help earlier. Si-yoon said it's better to just sit."
"Aha."
"The seaweed....."
Ji Yoon-chul trailed off on the other side and looked at me with a sad look.
Since he was the one who created the myth of 20 servings of seaweed, he seemed a little depressed.
Still, we tried to cheer up the youngest.
"It's okay, Yoon-chul. Thanks to you, Seleves are also seeing precious scenes."
"...Is this really a precious scene?"
"Of course. Where would you watch an idol show where 20 servings of seaweed are made?"
"Isn't that bad?"
"No, no. It's a legend written with a different meaning."
"....."
Ji Yoon-chul sighed for a moment after hearing Chae Eun-gyu's words.
"I didn't think I'd become a legend like this......."
"How special and great! Seleve, Yoon-chul did well, right? Is it okay?"
Our perceptive fans immediately showered Ji Yoon-chul with praise.
-Our Yoon-chul, do whatever you want^^♡♡♡♡♡♡
-As long as it's Yoon-chul it is okay with anything
-I love Ji Yoon-chul♡♡♡♡
-Cats are supposed to cause trouble
While communicating with Seleves, Kang Si-yoon returned after checking that the seaweed soup was boiling steadily.
It seemed like he had aged several years overnight.
"Oh my, it's hard. Now, I just have to boil it."
"Si-yoon, you worked hard."
"Si-yoon, you worked hard, so do you want to eat a piece of sirloin first?"
"Ha, I really used up all my energy, so it's hard, it's hard."
Kang Si-yoon munched on a piece of sirloin, then covered his face as if he was about to burst into tears.
Then he sobbed loudly in an exaggerated tone.
"I, I put something this delicious in the seaweed soup!"
"Didn't you clearly say that you should put sirloin in it as an emergency measure?"
"Ah, as a real chef, I feel so guilty!"
About 30 minutes had passed, and the timer set by Kang Si-yoon finally rang loudly.
The moment when the seaweed soup that had been put through so much effort was finally completed.
"Come on, everyone! I'll serve you some seaweed soup!"
"We're eating seaweed soup at 5 in the morning."
"This looks delicious!"
We each received a bowl of hot seaweed soup.
I, the star of the day, sat at the head of the table and looked straight at everyone.
Seeing that everyone was fixating on me, I felt like I had to say something.
"Thank you all for working so hard for my birthday from so early in the morning. I'll keep this glorious day in my heart for a long time."
"Shouldn't we at least have a glass?"
"At least have a glass of water!"
When I started my speech more earnestly than expected, the members held back their laughter and raised their glasses of water.
I continued my speech with a thick face.
As if this was the royal palace of
"I will continue to work hard to create many shining moments with you in the future, so I hope you all join me. Thank you again for giving me the best birthday of my life."
"Aiya, Prince!"
"Long live Prince Karis!"
"Now, let's all have a toast."
In the past, I would have been embarrassed to say such comments, but now they come out naturally, like water flowing.
The Crown Prince's ego isn't even awake, and yet this is happening.
I clinked my glasses with the members and smiled bitterly.
For some reason, even if an abnormal condition occurs now, no one will think it's strange.
"Now, eat quickly. See what the seaweed soup I worked so hard for tastes like."
Kang Si-yoon urged me to hurry up and taste it.
I took a sip of the steaming seaweed soup and ate a spoonful with the meat.
"......It's very refreshing and has a deep flavor."
"Of course, my sweat and tears went into it!"
"I'm asking just in case, but your sweat and tears didn't really go in, did they?"
"What happened?"
I ignored Kang Si-yoon's furrowed eyebrows and devoured the seaweed soup without missing the opportunity.
The other members also enjoyed the 5 a.m. dinner very satisfied.
The members who had finished the live broadcast at 6 a.m. passed out.
'....Why is it my job to clean up?'
Since I was the only one who survived intact, I had to clean up.
After I finished cleaning up the kitchen, a message from our manager briefly summarizing today's schedule arrived.
As I was reading the schedule, I saw 'Cake Making Live' and hesitated a little.
'I've never made a cake before...'
