Work Text:
"And just before we move onto the last topic, what are your thoughts on climbing a mountain?"
The director asked casually. The sudden randomness catching the blonde haired man off guard.
"Oh well, I think it's difficult. I wouldn't do it willingly really."
Moondae answered , giving his honest opinion. Briefly hearing a beep. The camera turning off—wait. When was it even on?
"HAHA, amazing! Perfect perfect~ now we have a mission for you. Just pull out your best teary face."
“..pardon?”
Moondae’s eyebrows furrowed as the PD let out a small amused giggle. The camera was off but the PD was explaining how Moondae has a secret mission. In fact, all members per episode would eventually get one. A fun edition to their program .
”It’s a simple one, just pretend to act upset or something. Just make it dramatic! And before it gets too messy reveal the mission. If things get out of hand we’ll just edit it out, no pressure!”
“Ah okay, I will try.”
Moondae bowed his head into a small nod before the camera started rolling. A card left on the table explaining how Moondae has a secret mission , the blonde man assumed.
”ah… a mission?”
He recited verbally to the camera,picking up the neat note and starting to read the message out loud…
‘Convince all members you are feeling down by crying !’
?!?!
The puppy turned his head to the PD who was behind the scenes , sipping his coffee innocently.
His hand gripped the paper slightly tighter and gave his best to not frown. This was not what they discussed.
’Isn’t this considered defamation?' (---offended)
moondae knew it wasn’t really but.. the audacity.
“Yes! Please work on it secretly!~”
The PD winked at moondae behind the camera. The idols face which was somehow miraculously neutral , later going to be edited as one with determination with sparkles surrounding his face. The paper clutching emphasised theatrically.
“….Yes I will try.”
…
TeSTAR was collaborating with an American TV show about celebrities learning how to bake. TeSTAR had attempted to make three different desserts - any in the recipe book listed , All ingredients provided. The members split into their groups:
Team 1: Keun sejin , Moondae
Team 2: Bae sejin , Ahyeon and Raebin
Team 3: Ryu Chungwoo & Cha Eugene.
Shortly after Moondae returned, they were grouped up after the introduction of TeSTAR.
3,2,1 ACTION!:
The PD announced, the rookie group getting straight to town.
Kim raebin had diligently read out the ingredients they required , although his sincere attitude caused him to sound like he was rapping rather than reciting.
3 minutes into filming:
“Withameasuredcupofflourmixuntilasmoothtexture—“
“ah..ah we h-have no flour-!”
Ahyeon panicked realising they were missing one of the key ingredients for baking. Bae sejin coming over to examine the cupboard for the proclaimed missing flour. Weary they’d be stuck without a necessity.
…
Over with Team 1, Sejin occasionally glanced at the recipe book , mixing the dry ingredients.
“Does the red velvet cake really need to be made so delicately ? “
The bear sighed with a grin, his eyes drifting to his beloved friend when he hadn’t gotten a response.
“….”
However contrast to his beliefs, he was met with a sight uncomfortable to his view. A conflicted Moondae .
”moondaemoondae! What's that face for? Sejinie is curious!”
The oldest of the same age line acted cute infront of the Tibetan Fox , poking moondae's shoulder - a playful demeanour for the camera , but the touches were a little harsher.
"…”
Moondae seemed to be staring at the air, which was a little worrying since the idol was so particular about what persona he showed online, caused concern to flourish.
‘It’s only been about 17 minutes in filming, was it when the producer took him that he started to act like this?’
Keun sejin’s sharp espresso eyes examined the dazed man whilst the camera panelled to team 3 instead.
—-
‘fuck.’
He stared at the abnormality in front of him. The blear of red hovering infront of the golden haired man.
’STATUS ABNORMALITY!: Complete the task assigned or DIE!’
Moondae was gonna try half ass the meaningless task as much as possible! How could it become his death if failed?
sigh…
Apparently he must of been staring a little too long because he felt taps on his face. Oh sejin.
”..dae!”
”…..DAE!!!”
blink
”ow- what?”
moondae’s face twisted to meet keun sejins face.. it looked a bit …wrong?
”Wow! The astronaut returned! How was the trip~”
Sejin played off the face with a wide smirk. The touch unmoving from the soft skin. lingering on him more than necessary .
”Oh. Did you finish the dry ingredients? Wait a minute I need to crack the eggs and we can combine the cake mixture.”
Moondae broke off the contact from the warm hand cradling his face in favour of hurrying to get the carton of eggs. A bit flustered he zoned out praying (although unlikely) it went unnoticed.
…
”CHA EUGUNE STOP EATING THE CHOCOLATE!”
The maknae raged as the second youngest of the group was stuffing his face with the delicious chocolate chips. A key ingredient for team 2’s decor they planned out.
MUNCH MUNCH
”Chungwoo Hyung said I can have a little!!”
Raebin glared daggers at the red headed man, clutching his fingers into his palms, before remembering he was an idol. Slowly composing himself as Chungwoo soon controlled the energetic younger ones with a compromise for the chocolate chips.
However a matter solved too quickly became the recipe for the incoming new one.
…..
It all started When Bae sejin was about to get the icing sugar whilst Moondae was grabbing the mixer next to it. They briefly brushed each other causing the older to become surprised and accidentally spill the sugar, the product flying everywhere and as a result , into Moondae’s eyes. The commotion just caught on camera in time.
!!!
”Moondae!”
”Moondae!”
Both sejins called out in sync. Both coming to Moondae’s side, attracting the camera to spectate as well as the other members attention.
‘Crap. My eyes sting.’
The puppy representative looked back up after blinking away a warm feeling in his eyes. Why were they all huddled here all of a sudden? Weren’t they supposed to be competing?
”Excuse me, please cut for a moment.”
Ryu chungwoo asked the director before rushing back over. Bae sejin’s face was plastered with guilt.
”I’m sorry-! I didn’t mean to!”
Bae sejin‘s hands were flailing , acting as if he were an octopus after being chopped up.
”are you alright hyung?!”
”m-Moondae!”
”moondae hyung! Your eyes!”
”moondae! Why are you-“
…
‘Jeez. The powder flew everywhere, what a mess.’
moondae’s shoulder briefly swiped his nose to get rid of the potential lingering sugar .
Sniffle
Woah, what is wrong with the kids? Moondae’s eyebrows furrowed in slight concern. Little did the mentally 29 year old know, these actions caused the reactions around him to increase tenfold.
’what are they worked up for? Is it really a big deal to get sugar in your eyes? It probably just got stuck in my eyelashes anyway.’
“Moondae hyung please don’t cry! Here, eat some chocolate!”
Eugene quiet literally shoved a chocolate chip with the power of captain America in the confused mans mouth.
That’s when a ding popped out, a screen revealing victory for Park Moondae.
’STATUS ABNORMALITY COMPLETED AND REMOVED!’
‘CLICK FOR REWARD!’
Yes - NO
However, Moondae had no time to register his safety due to being shaken by the usual snack horder and keun sejin, who was touching Moondae’s shoulder as well. when did his face become so wet?
“wait—“
moondae begun to speak out, his voice meant to come out calm , just only now realising what the commotion was about.
“It’s…just the sugar.”
He rubbed his eyes rough to try catch any sugar to prove it was just the tasty white powder and not him actually upset since this was becoming a bit out of a hand. . .but it seemed to make these guys even more attentive???
“No guys.. seriously it’s the sugar.”
moondae tried to keep explaining but no one believed him it seemed. Much to his dismay. This conclusion confirmed as their leader tried to comfort him.
“Moondae. It’s okay , are you tired? Should we take a break? “
Ryu chungwoo ever so gently stood in front of the member who was teary.
”No I’m okay to finish this, because I’m not crying.”
….
A very loud silence creeped in the room at the man’s declaration.
‘This is awkward.’
the puppy sighed before the eldest member spoke up, declaring an outrageous speech as a rookie with not much influence.
“I apologise sir, I think we must finish the TV show another day.”
Bae sejin walked off to the staff and director, chatting to them . Their manager coming with him.
Moondae’s face stared at bae sejins leaving figure , hoping the director would explain for him it was a mission.
“Okay we understand. Please rest well.”
The PD replied seriously, to sejin’s words earning a humongous glare to the guy. Moondae didn’t understand, what was the PD trying to do?
”Wait, this must be a mistake—“
”—please don’t push yourself.”
The PD interrupted, Moondae’s face twisting into confusion at the circumstances. Wasn’t this what was supposed to happen? Little did moondae know that the PD was currently grinning the fattest smile known to man behind his back.
…
Back at the dorm
The members were sitting in the living room. All huddled around the specific member who still had slightly puffy eyes.
Ahyeon sat close to the other blonde. His thick eyelashes fluttering nervously, not quite working up the courage to ask what was the matter. However, it seemed their leader, Ryu chungwoo was pretty straightforward.
”Moondae ah, Would you like to tell us whats wrong?”
The navy blue haired man asked sweetly, attempting to pry out an answer.
“Hyung I already said it was the sugar.”
Moondae held back a sigh. This was starting to frustrate him. Seriously. What was with them? They’ve nagged him the whole journey back. As if god heard his prayers for them to drop the topic, Bae sejin, being the only reasonable one in moondae’s eyes, spoke up. His usual quietness nowhere to be seen.
“Everyone lets give moondae some space.”
“Right! Moondae can’t feel great with us pecking his sides!”
Keun sejin agreed with the older surprisingly quick despite their usual disagreements. Keun sejins’s cheeky ways of speaking effectively lifted the mood as the group slowly but surely, dispersed throughout the dorm, cameras switched off for the time being.
….
moondae laid in his bed, doing his daily monitoring for all members. It seemed alright, only just occasional comments that weren’t really anything controversial. Just as he was about to search up the anti hashtags for himself, Bae sejin’s voice came from behind his shoulder.
”What are you doing?”
Moondae who was startled from the sudden noise , whipped his head like the child star jojo. His face just a little furrowed.
”oh.. sorry for startling you, I just.. wanted to make sure you were okay and couldn’t help but notice . ..”
sejin spoke a little softly, he seemed a bit surprised.
‘Ah he must of seen my phone. Is he worried that theres a controversy?’
”Hyung , please don’t worry. Theres nothing wrong, Ive done a few checks.”
”…”
Sejin awkwardly turned his head to the side, before glancing a little too long for moondaes liking. Soon after mumbling something he couldn’t catch before heading to his respective bed.
…
”Moondae - hyung?”
kim raebin called out. They were supposed to do film another episode in the dorm. A slice of life relaxed vibe is what the manager said the company wanted from them.
”yes?”
moondae replied. He was currently grabbing an apple from the fridge. Taking a bite prettily since they were on camera.
”uhh.. well I was hoping you could help me with a verse in a demo I created.”
raebin asked politely. Sitting on the stool across the kitchen counter with his laptop resting ontop. Aswell as a pair of head phones.
“Okay. What’s up?”
moondae came over, sitting next to the younger. Raebin handing moondae the headphones, explaining.
”Well in this part I wanted it to be a high note, but it sounds… odd but like its meant to be there?”
Raebin gestured with his hands. And once moondae heard the soundtrack he nodded in agreement. His fingers hitting replay as he subtly glanced to the side,aiming to look like he’s deeply thinking. Sneakily activating his ‘ability.’
Grabbing Ear (A)
”Ah, I think I understand Now. The notes being sung feel just a bit too close. Maybe try aligning it more to the beat?”
Moondae inputted. Once he got the excited nod of approval from the prodigy producer maknae, he continued to eat his apple— wait. Where did his apple go?
…
TeSTAR is currently getting their 3 day vacation before having to get back on schedule with the reality baking show they abruptly left hanging for a few days now.
”uh..uhhm Moon.. moondae? Could I ask you a question?”
Ahyeon asked extremely shakily. Like his back was being clapped by thunder.
”yes. Go ahead ahyeon.”
Moondae hummed, his eyes on the TV. The members were watching their Idol inc episodes together, reminiscing on their hard earned positions.
”Well.. you , that cooking show! Are you gonna b. . Be okay?”
The angelic mans expression seemed like he was about to combust. Moondae raised his eyebrow before remembering the whole thing. Damn they’re still on about it?
“Oh right. I am. But please remember it was just the sugar.”
Moondae tried to emphasise that he didn’t actually cry that day, due to the 6 of his colleagues occasionally trying subtly ask him ever since it happened.
”Ah well.l.. just incase I believe..believe in— in you!”
ahyeon raised his fist shyly, The puppy having to admit that ahyeon was really handsome. Moondae feeling inclined to try match his energy somewhat.
”Yes. Fighting.”
moondae cheered for himself? Ahyeon nodding like he was about to become a horizontal helicopter taking off.
“Ah~ haessung was so funny! Look at his face!”
….
2 days left on TeSTARS vacation:
“NO! don’t let them! AVENGE MEE!”
Eugene exclaimed in half english half korean. Mixing his words every time he was being trampled.The auburn headed man playing mario kart on the tv with NPCS.
Ryu chungwoo was currently on his phone, making a phone call home, casually chatting to his parents in his shared room. Keun sejin, who was roomating with the leader was deep in thought. The brunette had his palm resting on his face. He had tried to pester the youngest same age trio member (moondae) in a playful way, but it just wouldn’t work. Now usually sejin wouldn’t usually just egg on a person if they were clearly showing no signs of opening up, but come on. This was the moondae!
It made sejin’s skin crawl a little. He had never seen his friend cry like that. ‘The stubborn man never once cried during idol inc, even when he won 1st place! So what could’ve bothered that Tibetan fox to cry?’
With a mind full of concern, the bear representative stomped to where moondae was cooking dinner.
….
‘CLICK FOR REWARD!’
Yes - NO
moondae was staring up , looking at his status window. Remembering about the forgotten thing due to him being distracted.
‘Right, I forgot about the reward. I shouldn’t open it now, its best to wait as long as possible until I have to. Besides , these stats aren’t too—?!’
touch
Moondae flinched as he felt a warmed hand touch his back suddenly. Holy fuck. Whats with people touching him up? Did he have honey draped onto him?!
”Ah! Okay sorry,sorry don’t glare at me like that.”
Sejin put his hands up in a surrender. The cooking man still slightly glaring.
”Dinners still gonna be a bit, unless you wanna volunteer to help , leave.”
moondae said cold hearted,his wooden spoon stirring the pot of lotus soup.
“Ah no actually I wanted to ask about —“
moondae who had been nagged with the exact same line inwardly groaned. Not holding back since this was keun sejin. His face indeed a Tibetan fox.
”If it’s about that show, I just .. ughh..”
moondae grumbled , really sick and tired of the questioning thats been going on for almost a week now. Not to mention Ryu chungwoo and Eugune just so happened to ask about it today aswell.
”Look, it was really Just Sugar.”
‘These kids. What do they want?’
moondae sighed into his elbow. Hoping that his tone would make the brunette take the hint. But alas, the toned guy stood there. Like a sales man devoted to a particular challenging customer .
”Moondae.”
Sejin said seriously. Moondae was about to lose his composure at the man’s insistence before staring into the others eyes.
”We both know thats a stupid excuse. And if you think it fooled me or the others, you’re mistaken.”
‘Seriously…’
Keun sejin’s face was all serious. No hint of its usual playfulness today.
”What do you want me to say then? I was poked in the eyball by a needle? Would that be enough for you to leave it?”
”…”
Once it was clear Sejin wasn’t taking his sarcasm, the younger closed his eyes. He understood he was being a tad childish but it was really getting on his nerves. He should really compose himself.
”Look im sorry. Its frustrating to hear the same thing all over again, forgive me.”
moondae looked the other in the eyes, the other seemingly unoffended by the little outburst, instead seemed to be listening. But rather easily , the bear representative put on that smiley facade. Doing a 180 after moondae stated his boundary clear. Backing off.
”No you’re right. Sorry moondae moondae~ I guess I got a little nosy.”
Keun sejin replied light heartedly , patting moondae’s shoulder before changing the subject in favour of forgetting the slight argument.
”So, do you need to add more water? It looks a little low.”
”No, its just the angle. Come on this side and see.”
moondae stepped to the side, grateful that didn’t escalate. The two ending up having a fruitful conversation after. Keun sejin cracking jokes like a court jester.
…
1 DAY LEFT ON TESTARS VACATION:
Moon-dae fiddled with his jacket pockets, reaching for his phone. The soft ringtone echoing throughout the building.
Ring, Ring!
”hello?”
”good afternoon, its the PD from that tv show. Remember? I just wanted to have a quick chat since I am talking to you on your day off, haha.”
“Oh. Yes , good afternoon sir.”
Moondae held the phone to his ear , using his other to unlock the door. Walking inside the apartment. Devoided from its usual ruckus due to most members being out.
”Yes, yes. About the part when we were asked to cut the cameras, i’d just like to say…”
‘Shit. Is he upset we left? I’ll have to think how to respond well to make sure this doesn’t turn into something troublesome.’
moondae unconsciously bit his lip in exasperation. Forgetting that the PD infact allowed the cancelled booking go easily.
”ITS GONNA BE VIRAL! I JUST HAVE A HUGE FEELING THIS WILL BE THE TOP HIT! A MARVELOUS REACTION FROM YOUR MEMBERS, THE DRAMMAAAA!”
”…”
”..a..”
Moondae was rendered speechless. The man on a phone call with him, The producer squealing like a teenage girl giggling over manga.
“Its wonderful! ABSOLUTELY DIVINE! the way you shedded tears was beautiful! Like a swan which had embraced its woes and—“
The PD who was a retired theatre child kept exclaiming about moondaes mission like it was a movie scene. The praised man on the other end of the line had his lips pressed together,silently judging.
”when we release this it will be like a.. inhale ANGELIC !! Your acting sends me to the very depths of passion! PASSION!”
Moondae heard some banging , a fist hitting a wall. A bit of odd noises
‘Is this guy a pervert?’
was moondae’s first thought. but this tv show to say..was really successful. From what he knew, it never had a bad reputation before and these missions were what made it so viral. So being a rookie group and all, he guessed it was something he’d have to suck up.
“Yes…?”
Moondae said with a neutral tone. placing his phone down onto the side table in order to take off his shoes. Having just finished practicing the choreography once more.
”OH! And its totally consented on your part, correct? Your manager gave you the contracts for filming with us?”
“Uh, well.”
moondae responded. Although he hadn’t been told of such things, which was never a good sign. Has the company done something without their consent?
“Could you please explain again? Just to refreshen my memory.”
“Ofcourse, we are allowed to use any content that we film as long as it will not controversy or trouble.”
the PD spoke with his chest. Meanwhile moondae put his finger to his chin. The words sounded reassuring but he couldn’t completely rely on those words. He’d need to dig into it later.
”Ah alright. Is there something else?”
moondae questioned.
”No not really! If there is anything though I will brief you tomorrow when TeSTAR comes back to the filming site.”
The pd ejaculated. Soon after the phone call ended with a soft beep. Moondae proceeded to the sofa, sighing afterwards.
-
DING!
TeSTAR groupchat:
Eugune has sent a photo. - 3pm
-Picture of Eugune and fan-
Eugene: “I met a fan! They saw me in the convenience store. Btw, do you guys know where to find a ‘hapiy chocote?’ Cant find it anywhere!” -3:02pm
Big sejin: “ㅋㅋㅋ. Whats a chocote? I don’t know.” -3:03pm
raebin: “Eugene I think you mean a happy chocolate ? Even though I still don’t know what that is.” -3:03pm.
*kim raebin reacted to Eugene’s photo with a 👏 emoji.*
Eugene: “Oh yeah! It is! It has a black packaging kinda thing. I remember one of you guys bought it back once!” -3:05pm
Chungwoo: “Haha, that was me. It should be near the other chocolates, try near the bit where it connects with the gummy section.” -3:10pm
—
Moondae swiped up the notifications. Reading each one with his stotic expression. They sure were talkative.
’I should probably eat something.’
he thought, heading to the kitchen.
….
filming day:
“ALRIGHT! Please stand where you were before.”
The Pd called out. They were filming not from the beginning, but rather from the point where the camera had cut previously. They were wearing the same outfits from that day aswell as the style. Everything was replicated perfectly.
1,2,3 ACTION!
…
…
…
…
The recording for the episode was ended swiftly after a few hours. It went well, no other trouble occurring. Ahyeon’s team came as the victors.Moondae who was laying on the arm rest on the sofa. Monitoring the dorm slice of life episodes they’ve filmed. All comments / media relatively positive.
“Moondae?”
Ryu chungwoo approached the bleached blonde.
”yes hyung?”
moondae nodded. His eyes still attached to the screen for a few more seconds before meeting the others enchanting indigo eyes. Plopping the device down as he did so.
”The episode we just filmed is going to come out on friday, wanna watch it in the living room with the rest of the members?”
Ryu chungwoo’s smoothly voiced out, his posture relaxed.
”Alright.”
moondae hummed, he was a little surprised they were gonna edit the video so quick. Were they just a relatively fast company? (It was Tuesday)
—-
All seven members were gathered infront of the TV. They were originally going to do this by themselves, no cameras. But the company decided to really suck more content out of their employees. Therefore they ended up doing some sort of reaction video. They were styled with basic makeup and casual clothes for a cosy vibe.
“Im excited!”
Eugene sincerely raised his fist like he was watching a match of some sports game. With other kinds of commentary from various members,The episode begun to play.. a preview of the content was played for roughly 15 seconds.
—
“Hello! take your star, TeSTAR!”
The Rookie idol group members Introduced themselves with their catchphrase. A female host named ’Aren’ who spoke both english and korean was casually giving them a quick run on what they were doing.
“So we will just be doing a bake off! You simply pick one of the recipes in your book and whichever one looks the best aswell as the taste- we will deem the winner!”
Aren explained with enthusiasm, the group nodding with equal enthusiasm.
—
“Haha~ I remember wanting to make a cake because anything other than that would be way too difficult.”
Keun sejin laughed. Commenting on the episode with his thoughts. Ahyeon who was sat next to the brunette nodded. Expressing his own feelings.
”y-yeah, it sounded challengi.. challenging for sure! But.. but it was really fun!”
—
The episode progressed smoothly, the camera panelling to team 2. Bae sejin’s group. Showing raebins rapid speech whilst they had just encountered their first problem.
”ah—ah we have no flour!”
Ahyeon’s voice nervously “shouted”. Bae sejin walked over, checking the cupboards.
“Don’t worry , its just behind the sugar.”
Sejin defused the situation. The elegant shy individual apologized after realising he didn’t check properly.
—
The next scene cut to was Keun sejin & Park moondae. The Big brown bear commenting occasionally. Laughing at himself as he mixed the dry ingredients together.
“Does the red velvet cake really need to be made so delicately ? “
The bear sighed with a grin, his eyes drifting to his beloved friend when no response was uttered. There was some crows edited in which filled the silence .
“….”
However contrast to his beliefs, he was met with a sight uncomfortable to his view. A conflicted Moondae .
”moondaemoondae! What's that face for? Sejinie is curious!”
The oldest of the same age line acted cute infront of the Tibetan Fox , poking moondae's shoulder - a playful demeanour was created.
moondae who seemed to be spaced out, an odd look on his face as his eyes seemed to gaze intensely at nothing.
—
Moondae in the present mentally facepalmed. He didn’t notice just how weird he looked. He had hoped they’d just cut it out but noo.
”Oh? Moondae hyung looks a little stressed.”
Kim raebin commented softly. Concerns slipping out his mouth a little. Ryu chungwoo hummed in agreement not much more said other than that.
—
“CHA EUGUNE STOP EATING THE CHOCOLATE!”
The maknae raged as the second youngest of the group was stuffing his face with the delicious chocolate chips. A key ingredient for team 2’s decor they planned out. The editing portraying a light comedic sibling dynamic between the two.
MUNCH MUNCH
”Chungwoo Hyung said I can have a little!!”
Raebin was edited with smoke coming out his head, clutching his fingers like an upset toddler. But the video cut to ryu chungwoo coming in between them. The subtitles saying ‘the father is here!’ Controlling the situation with charming ease.
“Its okay, theres lots to go around, try not to fight.”
aka promising theres enough chocolate chips. Euguene cheekily taking one last handful.
——
“GAHAHAHA!! Crazy~”
”I..I have some jelly , if you want some Eugene and raebin.”
ahyeon shyly proposed. His nimble fingers reaching into his pocket, presenting a few sweeties for them.
”Really? Thanks hyung!”
Eugene thanked ahyeon , taking the sweet happily. Meanwhile raebin took it sincerely thanking Ahyeon, Keun sejin teasing the deer.
”Hey! Ahyeon got one for me too?”
The brown headed man asked slyly, ahyeon who was far too nice nodded quickly, handing over one. Ending up sharing one too each member in the end.
moondae who chewed on his own sweetie stared back at the TV. Feeling a headache incoming.
—-
The episode continues, showing Bae Sejin’s team work together with calmness and efficiency. Communicating their wants for the decor nicely. Eventually needing some icing sugar. Sejin, being the oldest volunteered shyly. Before doing so by being encouraged by the other two.
BAM!
A collide between one of the younger members and the oldest member happened. Sending a fury of powder everywhere. A few coughs came from the raven headed man. Aswell as the golden headed man. The editing made it flash to moondae’s face after the ‘fog’ cleared.
a dramatic effect played as moondae’s face came into view, the cute faced member had tears flowing down his face, the man a pretty crier indeed.
!!!
—-
“Ah what happens next gave me a scare.”
Bae sejin comments just before the next scene plays out.
“Right! I was so shocked I hur—-“
”you’ll spoil the fans!”
—-
within seconds, the camera whirled to the chaotic scene . All members calling out a certain persons name, the editing despite the scenario made it look as if it were a kindergarten. Kids checking up on a kid.
“What’s wrong?”
”its just the sugar—“
”HIYAAAAA!”
Eugene hurled a handful of chocolate chips in moondaes mouth. The confused puppy eating it whilst blinking confusingly. The red headed guy sounded incoherent as he rapped words that competed with raebins speed.
—-
“Oh! I don’t remember making that noise. But it sounds like a battle cry in the game I play!”
Eugene commented unserious. Bae sejin hesitatingly spoke up.
”Don’t worry.. moondae is okay.”
Bae sejin spoke to the camera, reassuring fans about moondaes health which the man appreciated.
”Yes, Loviewers. Do not worry. It was just some powder in my eyes.”
moondae poked his head towards the filming equipment, momentarily forgetting to speak during the whole time. Half lost in thought.Unkowning to the subtle eyes on him after he said that.
Just where the part where Ryu chungwoo came forward to the director to ask for a cut, it never showed, and the camera was still turned on. Much to TESTARS shock. All of them looking at eachother with slightly wide or skeptical eyes. Moondae feeling displeasure at being exposed like this.
—-
Right when moondae rubbed his eyes and sniffled , Bae sejin’s face was plastered with guilt.
”I’m sorry-! I didn’t mean to!”
Bae sejin‘s hands were flailing , acting as if he were an octopus after being chopped up. The actions obviously apologetic.
”are you alright hyung?!”
”m-Moondae!”
”moondae hyung! Your eyes!”
”moondae! Why are you-“
Various worries were captured. Moondae in the centre speaking finally, his voice emphasised, and made it seem like he was panicking.
”No. its..its just sugar seriously.”
moondae seemed to be trying to sound like he wasn’t crying , and kept wiping his eyes with his shoulder to be rid of the liquid causing panic to stir.
—-
‘Well.. I see why they panicked.’
moondae thought. Looking at his own face, if he were someone else- frankly he wouldn’t believe them too. But still..the editing wasn't helping either!
”See! Moondae, you shouldn’t scare us like that.”
Keun sejin started, having gotten over the fact they were filmed without consent to scold moondae.
“You scared yourself.”
moondae mumbled , seeming to sound defensive.
—-
Then, the video suddenly rewinded, all the way to where the PD took moondae into a closed up room. The PD speaking to the blonde haired man.
“Would you ever openly communicate your feelings if you could?”
The video played out showing moondae’s stotic expression before he answered.
"Oh well, I think it's difficult. I wouldn't do it willingly really."
——-
Present moondae stared at the screen in disbelief. Surely this was defamation for sure! This could even break the contract. This was scandalous! This was like idol inc editing all over again. In what way—!
….
….
….
….
Long story short, ever since they filmed that reaction video, all the members treated him a little more delicately. He tried to explain off camera that it was taken out of context but even if they nodded, it was obvious they thought othewise Which frustrated moondae. It was the sugar explanation all over again. The Tibetan fox sounded like a madman trying to explain the mission that never was revealed the whole episode!
He was tempted to have a word with the company aswell as that producer. But decided to quickly skim through responses on the video first. Wanting to check Loviewers opinions. Clenching his hands as he did so, sure it was doomed to have “crybaby” comments or such.

after several hours of monitoring the comments, his eyes became heavy. He was sat on the sofa. His mind long forgetting to contact the people he said he would. The comments. . .maybe weren’t that bad. And after scrolling through a few more social media posts about it, he concurred maybe he should let it slide. Just this once.
He rubbed his eyes softly yawning, they finished doing their activities for today. So he’d nap just for a little while. With his amber eyes fluttering shut after a few moments, he remembered just before losing consciousness something warm being gently placed with care ontop of him. Hushed voices indeed heard.
