Chapter 292
The last concert is over.
After finishing the concert at Kobe Arena, squeezing out every last bit of energy, we said goodbye to the fans who were waving their cheering sticks until the end and left the stage.
We really used all our strength, so it wouldn't have been strange if we all collapsed right away, but everyone smiled and made hearts for the YouTube camera.
"Everyone, our first Japan tour is finally over!"
"Wow!"
"You all worked really hard!"
After taking some time to regroup, we left our thoughts that will be posted on the YouTube behind-the-scenes video.
"We were happy that you loved our new song
"You all memorized the cheering without us even knowing. I was really surprised."
"That's right! I was so happy when the cheering suddenly came out, but it was hard to control my expression."
Everyone gave their impressions one by one, and it was my turn.
I calmly looked at the camera and conveyed my sincerity.
"Seleves who filled the audience seats even though it was our first tour. I want to tell you that I always love you and thank you. We will return with an even better stage next time, so please wait a little longer. 隣にいてくれてあ りがとう (Thank you for always being by my side)!"
When I briefly thanked them in Japanese at the end, the members all shouted "Oooh~!" and patted my shoulder.
"It was Seleste! Thank you!"
"Seleves, thank you! Bye!"
We finished filming the behind the scenes video without a hitch.
Thinking that everything was over, the members felt like all the tension had disappeared from their bodies.
"Ah, I sweated so much at the end that it's gross."
"...I want to wash up."
"We're going to the bathroom!"
While Song Hyung-bin, Yoo Min-ha, and Ji Yoon-chul stopped by the bathroom to wash up, the remaining members went into the waiting room and laid down on the sofa.
"Ugh, ugh.........."
"I don't have strength in my legs."
Heo Yoo-bin and Kang Si-yoon simultaneously fell on the sofa, limp as seaweed.
Heo Yoo-bin, who usually looked weak, groaned and shook his arms.
"Hyungs.......... I don't have strength in my body..."
"Oh my, my. What should I do, our Yu-bin?"
"Please help me up.........."
"That's because you're low on sugar. Hey, do you want some licorice candy?"
"No, why on earth did you bring that all the way here?"
When Kang Si-yoon took out a licorice-flavored candy from his bag and shook it in front of Heo Yu-bin, Heo Yu-bin jumped up and screamed as if it was a lie that he couldn't move.
Then Kang Si-yoon giggled and put the candy in his mouth.
"If you can get up on your own, how dare you."
"Oh, my hands are really shaking like this. But hyung.".
"Huh?"
"Did you put that in your mouth just now? Really?"
"Huh. Why?"
As Kang Si-yoon said, chewing on the candy with an indifferent expression, Heo Yu-bin's face turned even paler.
"Why on earth did you.........!"
"You said it was so tasteless back then that I thought it was really tasteless, but I thought it was actually edible."
"...Really?"
"Yeah. It tastes really good?"
"This made it clear.. Hyung is just weird."
"No, I said it's really edible? It's not that I'm weird, really!"
When Heo Yu-bin gave Kang Si-yoon a questioning look, Kang Si-yoon twirled his arms as if he was being wronged.
While looking for someone to back up his claim, he quickly grabbed Chae Eun-gyu's arm, who was next to him.
"Hyung, try it too. I told you it's not bad."
"Why me all of a sudden.........."
"It's so unfair that I'm the only one being treated as a weirdo!"
"You're a weirdo."
Even so, Chae Eun-gyu couldn't resist Kang Si-yoon's request and put a licorice-flavored candy in his mouth.
Kang Si-yoon looked at his eldest brother with hopeful eyes, as if asking him to please take his side.
Soon, a signal came from Chae Eun-gyu.
"Ugh! Hey, this is really bad!"
"Right! It's bad! What did I say, hyung?"
"Uwehh, ugh! It feels like eating plastic?"
Chae Eun-gyu squinted his eyes and staggered.
He looked like he had been hit in the head with a giant hammer, unable to keep his balance.
"Ha, this isn't it."
Kang Si-yoon immediately left Chae Eun-gyu behind and looked for a new person to eat candy with.
The person who caught his radar was.... of course, me.
"Hey, Karis. Since you ate lemons so well, wouldn't you not be able to taste licorice?"
"...Not being able to taste it isn't about eating it deliciously; it's about enduring it, okay?"
"Ah, I don't know, I don't know! Just eat it! How about it, Chu rai, Chu rai!"
[Here, the word 'Churai' is presumed to mean 'Try' or 'Try it'. It's pronounced strangely. Furthermore, it is a word that came from Japan. In Japan, it is called 'Torai' (トライ).]
"Hmm."
I looked at the black packaging for a moment. Since the sugar content was a little low............
"Okay, I'll try it."
"Hey, Karis, don't eat it! This really doesn't taste good!"
"Is it that bad?"
"It was really too much."
That's right. Chae Eun-gyu has rarely shown such extreme reactions and convulsions.
Still, since Kang Si-yoon had such bright eyes and hope for me, I thought I should try it at least once.
No matter how fake that expression is, friends are friends.
When I opened a licorice-flavored candy, Chae Eun-gyu and Heo Yu-bin said to me in a pitiful tone.
"You'll end up here, too."
"Hyung, why on earth were you fooled.........."
What kind of taste was it that made everyone react this way?
When I first dropped into
At that time, the supply unit that was supposed to deliver food to us on the front lines was attacked and completely destroyed. The front-line troops, including me, had no choice but to eat any monsters that were in front of us, and the tail of the Werewolf I ate at that time left me with a truly unforgettable and intense aftertaste.
I rolled the licorice-flavored candy around in my mouth, imagining a similar stench and bitter taste.
"Hmm?"
As Kang Si-yoon said, it was surprisingly okay. I didn't really taste the shampoo that Heo Yu-bin mentioned before, and I didn't feel the plastic taste that Chae Eun-gyu mentioned.
"It's okay. It has its own sharp taste."
"Yeah, I said it! It's okay! Hey, you're really the only one!"
Kang Si-yoon raised both his hands at my reaction and hugged me.
"What are you doing! It's hot! Hurry up and let go!"
"I was really sad! I'm not a weird person!"
"You're still weird, so let go!"
While watching us hugging each other out of nowhere, Heo Yu-bin and Chae Eun-gyu shook their heads.
"There's no need to resemble that kind of thing."
"That's right."
***
The members who had worked hard for over a week were given two sweet days off in Japan.
After moving from Kobe to Osaka, we decided to go to a theme park that our younger brother Line had been wanting to go to for a long time.
"...That's why it's a place with a lot of labels that contain world-famous movies! It's a different feeling from the amusement park I went to in Tokyo before!"
"Oh, I see."
"Yeah, that's true."
"Can't you react with a little more soul?"
Yoo Min-ha, who had excitedly explained about the amusement park last time, was just as excited this time as ever and talked about various things.
The members who knew that once he started talking there was no end to it answered with half their souls out, but Yoo Min-ha continued talking without being intimidated at all.
"Anyway, there'll be a lot of people if we go. So the route is from here to here, then take the cable car up, take a picture of the castle, and come back down."
"Oh, there's a castle inside the amusement park?"
"Yes! One of the movies from this label is about a magic school, so they built a huge castle inside the theme park!"
"Wow."
I instinctively reacted to the word castle.
At that, Yoo Min-ha grabbed my hand tightly and gave me a passionate look in his eyes.
"Did you enjoy that movie, hyung-nim?"
"Oh, I don't really know because I haven't seen the movie."
"Wow.......... I want to buy hyung-nim's eyes. I'm jealous that you haven't seen the existence of HoX Watt yet."
If you take my eyes, you might not know about the magic school in the fantasy world, but you'll be able to remember the huge castle built by the Demon King's army.
I stared at Yoo Min-ha, who was shaking his butt and looking at the amusement park map intently.
If Yoo Minha had entered
He always feels so passionate, but when he actually goes to the battlefield, I feel like he will be shivering from tension.
We arrived at the theme park, which was a 20-minute drive away, and followed Yoo Min-ha's lead.
"There are a lot more places to take pictures here than rides! You get it, right, Siyoon hyung?"
"Ok?"
Kang Si-yoon blinked several times when his name was suddenly mentioned.
"We have to take a lot of pictures today!"
"Ha, I guess you're in a situation where you can't do without this body again. Well, who would you leave it to? I'm the only one here who's good at taking pictures."
While Kang Si-yoon was shrugging his shoulders in high spirits, I quickly took a picture of Ji Yoon-chul and Song Hyung-bin standing at the entrance to the theme park as a test.
"Hyung-nim, please check it out. I think it was taken well."
"Huh? A picture? When was it taken?"
"I just took a sneaky picture."
"...I want to see it too."
I always heard from the members that I couldn't take pictures, so I studied secretly on the Internet.
How should I hold the phone to take good pictures, and what angle should I turn to take good pictures of people.
And I studied in detail what timing would be best to take photos in order to get natural-looking pictures.
'They say that pictures come out naturally when you take them without them knowing you're taking them, so this might have come out okay.'
I showed Song Hyung-bin and Ji Yoon-chul the photos I had just taken, feeling slightly nervous.
The two members who had been looking at my phone for a moment soon lifted their heads and gave me a thumbs up.
"Hey, you took a really good picture."
"The color of the sky came out so pretty, didn't it?"
"Did I really come out well?"
"Really? Karis took a good picture?"
"I want to see it too!"
"Me too!"
When I said that I took a good picture, the other members all ran to me and tilted their heads.
"Wow, it really came out well!"
"Yoon-chul's legs are already long, so they came out even longer when taking a picture like this."
"This looks a bit like a pictorial, doesn't it?"
"Haha.......... I'm glad they came out well."
I scratched my head awkwardly with a faint smile at my younger brothers' compliments.
Meanwhile, Kang Si-yoon, who had suddenly fallen out of the members' interest, snorted in disbelief.
"Huh! How could he change in an instant when he's so bad at taking pictures? Let me see."
But despite his confident words, Kang Si-yoon was speechless when he saw the photos I took.
"...Hey, this is probably just beginner's luck."
"Then let's see if it's beginner's luck or not! Let's have Karis take all our photos today, how about that?"
"Okay! It'll be fun!"
"Hyung, you know? We have to get one of our best shots in front of that HoXWart castle! No matter what!"
"I'll try my best."
Chae Eun-gyu, who saw all the members clinging to me, laughed heartily and patted Kang Si-yoon on the back.
"You lost your job in an instant. You're so pitiful, Si-yoon."
"...I don't know. But I know that I won't be cooking anymore."
"Are you upset?"
"I don't know!"
