LGHTNOVELBOOK Chapter 255
Chapter 255
Before calling Orca, On Raon and Gyeon Ha-ram exchanged a few light-hearted remarks.
“Do you know this, Ha-ram? In the past, there was a trend for clubs that loved something. There was a club for people who loved dogs called Kang Sa Mo, and a club for people who loved On Raon called On Sa Mo, like that.”
“I know, I know. Actually, I’m a member of such a club too.”
“Really? Which club?”
“It’s called Gyeon Sa Mo… Have you ever heard of it?”
“Oh! I think I know what kind of club it is.”
“Then, shall we say what kind of club it is together?”
“Gyeon Seong-ha~”
The camera briefly panned to Gyun Seong-ha.
“Refraining from~”
“Club! …No, Ha-ram! That’s not it!”
“Oh, really? Shall we try again then!”
“Okay!”
The two cheerfully shouted for a redo as if nothing had happened. This time, Gyeon Ha-ram started the cheerful remark.
“Gyeon Seong-ha~”
“Hunting~”
“Club!”
“Yaaah!”
All the members, except for Gyun Seong-ha, who was grumbling, “Do you think I don’t refuse people?” burst into laughter, bowing their heads or turning away to chuckle.
“Behind us, who is making such a ruckus?”
“Right? Who could it be?”
“Anyway, we can’t continue like this. I think we need someone to shout ‘Again’ with us if we’re going to try again.”
“Ugh, nothing works out when my brother gets involved.”
“Haha, this is the group with Gyun Seong-ha, whom we refuse, hunt, and love.”
“Welcome back to Orca, making a super-fast comeback after four months!”
As Gyeon Ha-ram introduced them, the camera panned to Orca, who looked visibly excited.
The leader, Kang Ji-woo, who noticed On Raon standing a bit closer to their side, led the chant.
“On and on ORCA!”
“Hello, we are Orca!”
“Waaaah!”
“Again! Again!”
The excited members cheered, and the fans at the scene echoed ‘Again,’ bursting into cheers.
“Alright, let’s calm our members down a bit…”
On Raon, with a picture-perfect smile, glared at the unruly members.
‘I told you not to do this!’
Kang Ji-woo, feeling guilty, explained.
“I was just so happy to see Raon in such a place….”
Soon, the ‘Again’ chants died down.
Gyeon Ha-ram continued the program.
“Then, please explain what kind of song the new track ‘Again’ is.”
“Yes. ‘Again’ is a dance-pop song that, as the title suggests, carries a hopeful and energetic message about trying again even when things don’t go well.”
“Wait a minute, wait a minute. Gyeol, your voice doesn’t sound very hopeful. Could you try to sound a bit more cheerful, with a smile, please?”
Seo Moon-gyeol, who was tasked with introducing the song, stared at On Raon as if to say ‘don’t do this,’ but On Raon, who had definitely seen Seo Moon-gyeol join in the ‘Again’ chant earlier, urged him, saying they didn’t have time.
“Yes… ‘Again’ is about having the strength to try again, even when things are tough!”
Not sure what it meant to sound hopeful, Seo Moon-gyeol decided to raise his volume a bit. His voice cracked slightly, which amused not only the members but also those watching live.
It’s always more amusing when someone who doesn’t seem like they’d do that does it.
– LOL
– Gyeol’s voice crack is so cute
– How can he just add exclamation marks to everything ㅠㅠ
“…a powerful, energetic, and hopeful message in a dance-pop genre song.”
“Yes, that’s great! Wow, so hopeful.”
Next, Kang Ji-woo introduced the key choreography, and Gyun Seong-ha came forward to demonstrate the key dance moves of ‘Again.’
During this, Gyeon Ha-ram couldn’t look directly at her brother. No matter how she tried to see it, he just looked like a guy who would get smacked by their mom at home, pretending to be cool or handsome for no reason.
After watching the key choreography, On Raon continued the commentary.
“But recently, there’s been a rumor that you two haven’t been seeing each other at all. Seeing you just now, it seems somewhat true. Do you have any intention of clarifying this?”
“It’s not that we fought, but since I’m staying at the dorm with the people here, I can’t go home, so I have no choice…”
On Raon cut off Gyeon Seong-ha’s reasonably sounding words with an annoying, “Yes, yes.”
“Anyway, it’s true that you live without seeing each other’s faces, right? Isn’t it?”
“Yes… you could say that.”
“So I! Am trying to become the link of love between the two of you. Yo-han!”
“Yes?”
“What do you think I should do to help these two as the link of love?”
“In my opinion… if they see each other’s lovable sides, they could become much closer.”
Gyeon Seong-ha, who hadn’t forgotten the fierce argument between Ban Yo-han, who played the sister, and Cherrystin Bina in the idol variety show, had a lot to say.
Unfortunately, all of this was in the script.
The shock of encountering it directly during the live broadcast, after glossing over it during rehearsals, was no small matter.
“If it’s lovable sides, it’s definitely aegyo, right?”
“That’s right.”
“Since it might be difficult to suddenly ask for aegyo, we’ll show you an example first.”
“Raon, Raon, what’s your MBTI?”
“I am… C-U-T-E.”
With each letter he said, On Raon shamelessly struck a cute pose, like making a flower pose or poking his cheek with one hand.
“CUTE?”
He pronounced the final word stylishly and finished with his trademark biting heart, solidifying the short but impactful aegyo.
“Kyahhh!”
The cheers from the Aeri at the scene guaranteed that On Raon’s aegyo would score a perfect mark.
Gyeon Seong-ha and Gyeon Ha-ram, who sensed that they would have to imitate this, couldn’t laugh or cry.
“Then what’s Yo-han’s MBTI?”
Ban Yo-han also said, “I-D-O-L, IDOL,” and struck idol-like poses just like On Raon did.
Though Ban Yo-han and On Raon usually fought like enemies, at times like this, they worked together incredibly well, confusing the Gyeon siblings, who were terrible at such things.
“When did you learn all this…”
“There was nothing like this during rehearsal!”
– ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
– The expressions of the clueless siblings watching the aegyo are hilariousㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
– Yup, Raon’s MBTI is definitely CUTE and IDOL
“Anyway, let’s do it.”
“They say even cold water has its order. Seong-ha, you go first.”
“They say it’s better to get it over with quickly, so you go first, Ha-ram.”
In the end, as the MC, Gyeon Ha-ram thought he couldn’t delay any longer and showed aegyo first, with Gyeon Seong-ha following, striking an idol pose with a face that looked like he’d eaten something unpleasant.
– Ah, seriously, they’re so cuteㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
– I totally understand Seong-ha’s feelings. It’s shocking enough to see family members doing business, but here it’s even with a fellow member
– Guys, this is Music Pang Pangㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
– A group that changes the genre of a program for fun = Orca
As intended by the Music Pang Pang production team, the interview clip with the popular siblings reached 700,000 views on WeTube, making Gyeon siblings’ dreams restless for a while.
After the interview, Orca’s stage performance in the latter half of the music show was spectacular. Their live performance, beautiful stage set, and well-fitted outfits perfectly came together, firmly imprinting the song “Again” in the minds of idol fans.
Particularly, changing the final chorus from “그리고 외쳐, Again!” to “이제부터 외쳐, Again!” received positive reviews.
– They really proved it was a live performance~~
– Wow, Orca is amazing
– I can’t get “Again” out of my head, no matter what I say, it ends with “그리고 외쳐 어게인”
After successfully completing their comeback stage, Orca headed straight to a live radio schedule following their appearance on Music Pang Pang.
They had become quite used to radio schedules by now and managed them smoothly without any nervousness. Amid this, a chat message that could easily have been overlooked caught On Raon’s eye.
– HAZE
It was because of the word ‘하제’ written at the beginning of the chat.
‘I waited, knowing you would find me, but I’m sad because you couldn’t. If you see this, know it’s fate and come to meet me…?’
There seemed to be one or two more sentences, but they disappeared too quickly, buried under other chats, so he couldn’t read the entire message properly.
‘Is it the same person I saw during the liberation activities?’
There were a few things that bothered him, but he had previously guessed that the chat mentioning Haze was sent by Zero.
Now, seeing such a message again… Is it not Zero?
Then who could it be?
But why on earth would they ignore countless other means of communication and say what they wanted in the live chat of a Korean radio broadcast on WeTube?
Anyway, after finishing the schedule well, in the elevator heading to the parking lot, On Raon wondered if only he had seen that chat. Kang Ji-woo brought up the topic of the chat.
“Did you see the radio chat earlier?”
“Which one?”
“It was in English… I couldn’t read the whole thing because it was in English, but I saw the word Haze at the beginning.”
