Chapter 100
Alright! Stop fooling around! Dont doze off!
[Ah, Jeong Dajun, the high schooler ]
[An exemplary case of the college entrance exam obsession]
The Noeul members found it adorable how Jeong Dajun, as if possessed, repeatedly used phrases like umm and in other words in his online lecture teacher concept. Meanwhile, the older members grumbled in amazement with their hands stuffed in their pockets.
Why the online lecture concept?
Leave him be. Theres no way Jeong Dajun knows about 1980s America. At most, hes watched movies about it. Plus, hes preparing for the college entrance exam these days.
Isnt he just obsessed with imitating the online lecture teacher?
Despite everyones grumbling, the youngest member, Jeong Dajun, stubbornly raised his glasses with his fingers and drew circles frantically on the words written on the blackboard. He had seen it somewhere.
So today, lets organize the breadcrumbs of our The Dawn members!
Because there must be people who want this!! Maybe? I believe they exist somewhere?
Who the hell is this for.
Seo Hoyun was already exhausted from dealing with Min Jiheon. He looked even more worn out than usual, but Kang Ichae pretended to be absorbed in Jeong Dajuns concept and wrote everything down with his head buried in his notebook.
So what kind of people are The Dawn members??
Jeong Dajun excitedly organized the members information on the blackboard as if wielding a whip.
[Kim Seonghyeon (23) Leader/Main Dancer: Cool dark-haired handsome guy with double eyelids, sharp nose bridge, thick eyebrows, and dimples.
Seo Hoyun (23) Sub-vocal: Pure-hearted, cold-looking, dark-haired handsome guy who seems sensitive and looks quite gentle when he smiles (but scary).
Seong Jiwon (23) Main Vocal: Soft, warm-looking, brown-haired handsome guy with a mole on the nose bridge.
Kang Ichae (21) Rapper: Sharp-eyed, thin-lipped handsome guy with a hair color of watered-down red (currently grapefruit color), who makes you want to pass by quickly when hes angry.
Jeong Dajun (19) Sub-vocal/Dancer: No words needed, stunningly handsome.]
What is this?
[Why would you write this, Dajun?
I mean, you could just look and know]
[My cringing hands and feet are closing my eyes]
[But he looks like he just copied and pasted from the wiki (except his own)
Ill just write it down myself: bleached brown-haired puppy with thick lips and droopy eyes!!!]
Everyone opened their mouths in a daze, looking at the phrases written on the blackboard. Kang Ichae and Jeong Dajun exchanged glances and giggles, saying, Look at the eyes and Yes! Meanwhile, Seo Hoyun crossed his arms and leaned back on his chair, making a creaking noise.
You write Chinese characters well?
Of course, I should be able to do this much!
Wow Youre really studying hard these days.
Even against his older members teasing, Jeong Dajun remained determined. Kim Seonghyeon then attacked Jeong Dajun.
Whats with the stunningly handsome part?
Im just being confident, you know?
Jeong Dajun tried to continue organizing their birthdays, but Seo Hoyun scolded him not to waste time on something searchable on the internet.
[Guys, just look at the wiki
Let him be, Jeong Dajun is excited]
Hmph.
Jeong Dajun pouted with a snort, but he still seemed satisfied as he took a piece of paper from the lectern.
Lets first read the survey you filled out. Starting with Mr. Seo Hoyun.
Yes.
I think Im a kind person. You shamelessly chose YES . Where did you leave your conscience?
Why? Its true, you know?
Everyone jeered at him. Even the kind Seong Jiwon looked at Seo Hoyun with a subtle smile. Nevertheless, Seo Hoyun didnt change his shameless answer. Jeong Dajun continued to read the rest of the survey.
You chose Seong Jiwon as the person you think is the most handsome in The Dawn.
Ah? Really?
Seong Jiwon shyly smiled.
[Wow]
[Wow, Seo Hoyun has pretty good taste, though]
Eh?! Why didnt you choose the cute main rapper?
What?
Kang Ichae stood up with a face that said it didnt make sense, but Seo Hoyun just raised his eyebrows as if it was no big deal and pointed to the back.
Go look in the mirror with Seong Jiwon.
[A CG of a skull appears next to Kang Ichae ]
[Ah, fuck, this guy still doesnt hold back ]
Wow, this hyung is really unbelievable.
Be quiet. Kang Ichae chose himself, didnt he?
Kang Ichae acted out wildly, but Jeong Dajun, who truly believed he was the most handsome, shamelessly muttered, Isnt he just the nicest person? before reading the rest of the survey. Noeul members were very grateful to Dajun and devoured his breadcrumbs.
[Kim Seonghyeons legs are the body part hes most proud of, fucking annoying, but it seems true, ah!!!]
[Jiwon hesitates hesitates and then confesses he hates Soruinun
Seoho stands awkwardly beside him, saying I dont drink much now either]
[Kang Ichae exposed Jeong Dajuns secret that he always fell asleep listening to online lectures at triple speed under the covers]
It was an absolute mess. Seeing the exhausted Kim Seonghyeon trying to stop the fighting among the members, who were not even like high schoolers but like K-teenagers, Lee Jihyeon sighed and gave orders.
Seeing that, Jeong Dajun quickly fixed his disheveled bleached hair and calmly said,
Ugh We now know each other well, right?
I just want to fight.
Jeong Dajun ignored them.
To understand each other more deeply lets switch roles!!
And he threw a bomb.
[????]
As Noeul members were full of question marks, not understanding the meaning, a small data screen appeared in the video.
[Role Switching
Seo Hoyun Seong Jiwon
Seong Jiwon Kang Ichae
Kang Ichae Seo Hoyun
Jeong Dajun Kim Seonghyeon
Kim Seonghyeon Jeong Dajun
You must act according to each others characters!
Caution! You have to hold in laughter, Noeul members try it too]
[???????]
[What is this, is it for real?]
[Are they saying each person acts as the other?
Seems so?]
After a brief pause, the video darkened, and a low-resolution American campus appeared, stubbornly sticking to the 1980s concept despite having been messed up long ago.
Will You Go to Prom With Me? played as the BGM. The screen transitioned just like the fan song music video.
Ta-ta-ta.
A motorcycle appeared on the screen. It seemed like the usual Kang Ichae, but the camera slowly moved up after scanning his long legs.
[Huh, whats this? Is it Kang Ichae?]
[Oh, its the same progression as the fan song]
And the man wearing a rider jacket took off his helmet.
Sigh.
It was Seong Jiwon.
Even though he acted like a bad boy, the neat Seong Jiwon swept his hair back and spoke very clearly.
Cute main rapper enters.
Will you go to Prom with me? (Say Yes!)
[]
[I gave up on the laughter challenge right away]
[Ah, so it was like this, ah, Im going crazy, dont insert the Will You Go to Prom With Me? BGM at this highlight]
[Im watching from outside and biting hard, Jiwon]
As the Noeul fans were flipping out online, Seong Jiwon walked with the helmet at his side. In the hallway, Seo Hoyun, wearing a tidy school uniform, was taking a book from a locker.
Seong Jiwon, awkwardly creaking closer, slammed the cabinet with one hand.
Bam!
Hi, Jiwon-hyung.
Ah, hello, Ichae.
Despite Seong Jiwons lousy acting, Seo Hoyun adjusted well, staying true to his acting-dol reputation trained by Min Jiheon.
Watching Hoyun sweep his hair back with a soft smile, Seong Jiwons pupils trembled slightly.
Ichae, have you practiced rapping a lot?
Want me to show you?
No, thats fine. I dont really want to hear it.
Okay. But when Im in front of you, I. Want. To. Act. Irrationally.
Even as Seong Jiwon stubbornly mimicked Kang Ichaes rap part, Seo Hoyun simply looked at him with a subtle smile.
[Ah, how does Seo Hoyun hold back his laughter while facing this?]
[So shameless, Seong Jiwon, hes perfect at copying the awkward smile and all that]
[Wow, hes good at acting, Im really looking forward to episode 1 of Please Take the Camera]
I. Want. To. Hold. You. Tight. And. Pour. Out. Such. Words.
As Noeul members choked with laughter, Seong Jiwon continued rapping as he walked away.
Still maintaining his poker face, Seo Hoyun carelessly put the book he had taken out earlier back when Kang Ichae appeared.
Baby rabbit, HouHou, has arrived.
Seo Hoyuns expression almost crumbled for a moment.
Kang Ichae smirked and crossed his arms, leaning against the locker with Hoyuns signature menacing smile.
However, Hoyun wasnt going to let it slide.
Hoyun, hi. Do you want to practice with Ichae, who got demoted in the game tier these days?
No. Seong Jiwon I have a problem.
What is it?
Catching a slightly anxious gaze from Hoyun, Ichae lowered his long eyelashes.
Im just too pretty, and its serious.
[Ah]
[Ichae, are you going to die today?]
[Hoyun is so pissed]
Hmph.
Hoyun.
Seo Hoyun was indeed pissed, as the others had said, but he clenched his teeth and responded. However, Kang Ichae didnt stop and just raised his eyebrows, saying,
Why. What. Why. Are you jealous because Im so pretty?
Hoyun wouldnt talk like that.
What?
Hey, stop it. Kang Ichae, your imitation failed. I dont treat Seong Jiwon like that, okay?
Having given up imitating Seong Jiwon and leaving it all behind, Seo Hoyun gnawed his teeth, but Kang Ichae only raised one side of his lips.
The only problem was
What are you gonna do?
Kang Ichae knew Seo Hoyun far too well. Kang Ichae perfectly imitated Seo Hoyun without a care in the world.
A subtitle then appeared on the screen.
[Seo Hoyun Failed in Laugh-Enduring Challenge X Pissed-Enduring Challenge
Pissed Off Enduring Challenge Failed]
[]
While the broken rap-robot Seong Jiwon and pissed baby rabbit, HouHou, at a nonsensical challenge Kang Ichae opened the classroom door and then swirled around his long legs. Jeong Dajun and Kim Seonghyeon, who were talking, came into view.
Jeong Dajun was nagging non-stop as the two were cleaning the classroom.
Jeong Dajun, didnt I tell you to take your vitamins earlier? Are you just eating snacks?
Jeong Da Jun, in his own way, managed to defend himself by imitating Kim Seonghyeon, the tallest in the group, who was stretching his legs out and seemed to be quite at a loss.
It was because he wasnt good at acting.
Please just stop being so loud, Jeong Dajun.
Kang Ichae, who had entered the classroom, looked at them without much expectation (still acting like Seo Hoyun). Kim Seonghyeon opened his mouth.
so loud.
[oh my god ]
[Is it called bouncing around just because Jeong Dajun is jumping around?? Hey, is this really an imitation??]
Puwahaha
Seeing that, even Kang Ichae, who had been doing well at the imitation game, almost crumbled. He had to clench his teeth to hold it in. Meanwhile, Jeong Dajun squinted his eyes and sat down like Kim Seonghyeon.
Dajun, lets do it properly, okay?
Wheres your reply?
Yes, hyungie-hyungie.
Puwahaha
[Hyungie-hyungie = Hyung-hyung?? ]
[Hey, just because you add an ie at the end doesnt make you Jeong Dajun ][1]
[Kang Ichae, hey, you failed. Hey, just give up.]
I want to quit Puwahaha.
[Kang Ichae failed the hold-your-laugh challenge!!]
Kang Ichae seemed like the one most likely to survive until the end but was unexpectedly beaten quickly. Even as Kang Ichae gave up, sobbing half-heartedly white on his desk, Jeong Dajun continued to nag at Kim Seonghyeon with determination.
Kim Seonghyeon only responded with a disgruntled Yes, yes or Got it, sir.
Finally, all the members of The Dawn gathered
I. Want. To. Look. Good. To. You.
Kang Ichae, come at me right now.
Ack! Sorry! Ahh!
Bounce, bounce.
and it was a pure mess.
[Jeong Dajun held back his laughter while watching Kim Seonghyeon imitate him but crumbled when he saw Seong Jiwon coming while rapping
Cant be helped, how could you hold back after seeing Seong Jiwons staccato, Seo Hoyun is amazing.]
[Seo Hoyun eventually grabbed Kang Ichaes collar
Kang Ichae, in the midst of it all, I got it, dont be mad, Ill give you a carrot
If I were Seo Hoyun, Id hit him too]
And so, the winner of the laughter suppression challenge was Kim Seonghyeon, who had been just mumbling Bounce, bounce all along.
Thank you.
Whats this for?
Kim Seonghyeon murmured desolately, not at all happy even after receiving a fake gold-plated necklace.
So, who is this for?
Anyway, the response from the fans was good, so whats the big deal
Seo Hoyun thought for the first time that day that he wanted to leave the members behind and quickly return to the drama set.
[1] This was really hard to translate in its original form, so I went for something close, -ie. Kim Seonghyeon initially said, . The word means hyung. The change from to involves changing the final - (ng) sound to - (h), which gives it a more playful, cutesy tone. This kind of change is often used in Korean to make words sound more playful or cute.
