Chapter 327 - 327

Chapter 327

They managed to wake up Chae Eun-gyu with the desperate measure of pinching, but the real problem was from now on.

"My cheek hurts.........."

"You should put on your shoes quickly, hyung!"

"Yeah..."

Although it was less than Chae Eun-gyu who was still wandering in dreamland, the other members were still half-asleep.

Even the wake-up music was playing loudly, so they couldn't come to their senses at all.

First, they had to divide up the roles.

"We have to quickly choose the rope-switching person! Who will do it?"

"Why don't we send Eun-gyu hyung to the rope-switching side?"

"No. If someone who is already sleepy tries to do the rope-switching, they might not be able to do the rope-skipping at all."

"Oh, that's right."

Kang Si-yoon agreed with my opinion in a half-hoarse voice.

Song Hyung-bin and Ji Yoon-chul, who gradually came to their senses, suggested that Heo Yu-bin and Yoo Min-ha, who had lost their motor skills, be sent to the role of the turntable.

That's how me, Song Hyung-bin, Kang Si-yoon, Chae Eun-gyu, and Ji Yoon-chul, who jumped rope 10 times.

"You get it, Yoo-bin? We have to work together for this!"

"I'll try my best."

Fortunately, the members quickly woke up from the shadow of sleep, realizing the urgency of the current situation.

Everyone's heads were like magpies' nests and their eyes were still half-closed, but they moved only with the determination to eat breakfast.

"I'll go in first! Turn around quickly, Yoo-bin! Min-ha!"

It took more than a minute just to wake up.

Feeling that there was not enough time, I hurriedly jumped under the turning rope.

Following me, Ji Yoon-chul and Kang Si-yoon joined us with their hair fluttering in the wind, and Song Hyung-bin also came in without hesitation, wasting no time.

Now, the only one left was Chae Eun-gyu.

"Eun-gyu Hyung, what are you doing! Come in quickly!"

"Wait a minute, we have to get the timing right for this-."

"There's no time, hurry up!"

Chae Eun-gyu rubbed his eyes and jumped in at the shouts of his younger brothers.

I was worried that Chae Eun-gyu wouldn't even be able to join the group, but he had overcome the biggest hurdle.

Now, all that was left was to jump rope together 10 times.

"One! Two! Three!"

We counted loudly and cheered each other on in our own way.

I also shouted as loudly as I could, hoping that this power would be conveyed to everyone.

However, there were many things in the world that couldn't be achieved with just cheers and wishes.

"Keuheup-?"

The moment everyone shouted "Foouur!" loudly, someone's panicked cry was heard from behind me.

I was startled and immediately turned around.

I caught Chae Eun-gyu tripping on the rope and falling down.

"..."

The sound of him falling down was so loud and funny that we could only watch him lying on the ground in silence.

No one blamed him.

We looked at Eun-gyu with truly pitiful eyes, unable to raise his face.

The one who broke this pitiful silence was Yoo Min-ha.

Yoo Min-ha stopped turning the rope and let out a very sad sigh.

"Oh my.......... As expected of hyung-nim, your joints are....."

"Kuhem..... "

Yoo Min-ha's ad-lib spread laughter.

The members, whose playfulness was activated, teased Chae Eun-gyu even though time was passing.

"Hyung, hyung. If you sleep here, your mouth will fall off [facial paralysis]. Get up quickly!"

"Euuuuu.........."

Song Hyung-bin crouched down next to Chae Eun-gyu and poked his cheek.

But Chae Eun-gyu didn't get up and continued to groan like a zombie while lying face down.

Did he know that he had fallen in an extremely ridiculous and insignificant position?

Chae Eun-gyu couldn't raise his head at all out of embarrassment.

Then Kang Si-yoon sobbed while beating his chest at Chae Eun-gyu who was still motionless.

"Oh my, hyung! Hyung-nim is leaving like this, oh my! How are we supposed to live from now on, oh my..."

High-quality acting and ad-lib that sends away a living person in an instant.

Yoo Min-ha, who couldn't miss this opportunity, knelt down next to Kang Si-yoon and pounded the ground.

"How could you leave your brothers behind and go first, hyung-nim!"

".........I'm not dead.."

"Ahhh!"

"I'm not dead!"

"Oh."

When Chae Eun-gyu suddenly got up and reported his survival, Kang Si-yoon stopped acting as if crying and laughed heartily.

"The necromancy was a success."

"What necromancy is this!"

".........hyungs. Our time."

Everyone must have forgotten that time was passing even at this moment because they were busy with the skit.

Ji Yoon-chul pointed to the speaker where the bridge of was coming out and forcibly lifted Kang Si-yoon up.

The members who came to their senses only then were shocked.

"Hey, we're screwed! Hurry up! Hurry up!"

"Turn the rope quickly! There's really only 1 minute left!"

"Oh, seriously Kang Si-yoon! You're the reason I wasted all my time!"

"No, how is this my fault! It's the hyung who's lying still that's the problem!"

"Wow, Kang Si-yoon!"

"Wow, Chae Eun-gyu is really blaming others!"

"Everyone, be quiet!"

The conversation flow became chaotic.

I clenched my fists and shouted loudly.

Then everyone turned their gazes to me, all of them standing in a daze.

When I confirmed that everyone's attention was on me, I said to Heo Yu-bin and Yoo Min-ha.

"Turn it around quickly."

"Oh, yes!"

There really is no time.

The last chorus of started to play, and we could feel the time disappearing with our whole bodies.

Yoo Min-ha and Heo Yu-bin started to vigorously spin their arms like propellers.

"Everyone, jump right in without delay!"

Following my lead, the remaining five joined in safely and quickly one by one.

Now, it really was our last chance.

The moment someone gets caught in the line, breakfast will fly away.

The worst fate of using up all your energy and returning empty-handed.

That was unacceptable.

"One! Two! Three! Four! Five!"

Half of the last chorus of had already passed.

We were in a hurry, so we used our superhuman strength to cross the line.

Now that Chae Eun-gyu was fully awake, he was also cheering along to the chant.

Kang Si-yoon and Song Hyung-bin also lost their playfulness and became completely serious.

If things continued like this, it seemed like we would succeed in the mission just barely.

"...Hyung! Hyung!"

"What's wrong, Yoon-chul!"

"The pants...!"

"What the-!"

Ji Yoon-chul spoke urgently right behind me.

I turned my head to see what was happening, and Ji Yoon-chul was holding onto the waist of his loose-fitting sweatpants and continuing to jump rope with difficulty.

"The sweatpants I wear to bed are too loose!"

"Hold, hold on tight! If they slip down, it'll be a huge disaster!"

It's natural to wear comfortable clothes while sleeping.

No one can blame Ji Yoon-chul.

He just had to work out hard in the morning, so his pants were falling down.

Seeing the youngest struggling in such a pitiful position behind made me feel anxious.

But in situations like this, you have to be cool and calm.

"Seven! Eight! Nine!"

was also rushing towards the end, and the counting that seemed like it would go on forever was already nearing its end.

We all shouted together, using every bit of strength we had.

"Ten-!"

"Success! It's success!"

"Aghh!"

It was really close.

The music ended less than 10 seconds after we shouted out the number of jumps.

If we had turned the rope even a little late or if someone had stumbled, we would have definitely failed.

As soon as the rope jumping was over, Chae Eun-gyu and Ji Yoon-chul fell to the floor.

Yoo Min-ha and Heo Yu-bin threw the rope down and ran to us.

"We did it! We did it!"

"Haha! Hahahaha!"

"Yoon-chul! Yoon-chul-ah, you really did well!"

"Wow!"

"I didn't know rope jumping was this hard in real life...."

Just looking at the atmosphere, it was like winning an Olympic gold medal.

To that extent, breakfast was a precious reward to us, like a gold medal.

While we were embracing each other and sharing our emotions, Kang Si-yoon burst out laughing again and made a bombshell statement.

"Today, Yoon-chul is blue-."

"What kind of nonsense are you talking about!"

"Keep it!"

I quickly covered Kang Si-yoon's mouth before he could say anything else.

Then, as if they were one body, the rest of the members rushed in and playfully pulled Kang Si-yoon's disheveled hair to punish him.

"This won't do. I'll have to keep his mouth shut today."

".........Do you have any duct tape?"

"Umm! Ummmm!"

"You're saying you're wrong?"

"Yes!"

Ji Yoon-chul's murderous words caused even the world-class Kang Si-yoon to collapse in an instant.

Meanwhile, our manager, who was watching us jumping rope frantically from the side and laughing out loud, gave us a thumbs up and acknowledged our mission success.

"The mission, success!"

"Wow!"

"Let's eat, food. Food. Where's the food?"

The reward comes after hardship.

We checked the chicken soup that was delivered on the spacious table in front of the tent and applauded with tears of emotion.

For a few minutes after that, we didn't even think about filling up the audio and focused on eating the soup.

Honestly, we should have enough leftovers, so it would be okay if we didn't say anything for a while.

"The rice you sweat on is the best."

"The meat is so soft. Doesn't it just go down after a few chews?"

"The soup is so refreshing and the best!"

The members kept exclaiming in admiration at the beautiful taste of the soup.

While everyone was busy playing with their spoons and chopsticks, Heo Yu-bin said with a look on his face that something had come to mind.

"Looking back on this trip, I thought of something. We were destined from the moment we first met!"

"Oh....?"

"Suddenly?"

"Yes! It's possible that we've gotten along so well because it's all fate!"

It was a touching story that conveyed Heo Yu-bin's sincerity, but the embarrassment that was conveyed to the members couldn't be avoided.

Song Hyung-bin put down his spoon and wiggled his fingers here and there.

"Time, space is shrinking...."

"Oh, why are you doing that, hyung! You said something similar yesterday!"

"I said that after we finished eating!"

The uninteresting jokes crossed each other again.

I laughed without realizing it.

"Hahaha! It was truly an incredible fate, just like Yubin said."

It's exactly as it is.

The fact that I was dragged into without knowing why.

The fact that I was able to complete the quest by beheading the Demon King and return to reality.

The fact that I met all these guys in was all fate.

'Of course, there were some undesirable fates along the way.'

Meeting Owen again was a very lucky fate, but the fate that brought the Demon King to reality wasn't so pleasant.

Demon King Seir must be secretly watching me from somewhere.

I thought of the phrase that appeared in the status window during .

If finding the Demon King again and defeating him is also fate in the real world..........

I guess I don't have much of a choice.

While I was thinking about this and that in my head, the members somehow seemed convinced by my words.

Song Hyung-bin, who had been fidgeting with his fingers, was nodding his head as he regained his composure.

"It's really amazing that we all met in a survival show with so many people."

"Why is it that when you listen to Yu-bin, it's not convincing, but when Karis talks, it's plausible."

"I'm the same."

"So, in conclusion, everyone agrees with what I say?"

"Hmm, hmm."

Kang Si-yoon thought for a moment and then smiled.

"I think so!"

"What's with that ambiguous answer!"

I laughed out loud again as I watched Heo Yu-bin swinging his spoon at Kang Si-yoon.

Yes, if all this is fate, then I have no choice but to keep going.

To protect this scenery I love, I will follow any fate.
