Chapter 86

If we can't debut, we'll get a deadly disease - Chapter 086

[Drumroll!]

What was hidden beneath the sky... was a heavy nameplate.

-???

-? What the heck lol

On the luxurious and massive mother-of-pearl nameplate, which you'd expect to see on a corporate chairman's desk, the words were written in palace script.

[Reviewer]

[Loviewer]

Ryu Cheong-woo smiled and spoke.

[We chose this name thinking of the fans who watch us with love.]

[LOVE plus Reviewer!]

Cha Yujin added an explanation and looked at the massive nameplate with pride.

[I ordered this? I had it custom-made!]

[We wanted to show that our fans, who have invested in us so far, are the best... Oh, and after the W Live ends, we'll draw lots and send it to a fan!]

Of course, the sudden appearance of the nameplate was so unexpected that it was only funny.

By the way, Park Moon-dae opposed it until the end but was outvoted and just gave up.

Anyway, since Testa seemed so proud, the fans just flooded the comments with laughing emojis and hearts. They were just too cute.

Of course, on SNS, there was a heated live commentary.

-Do you want to tell the W app that the nameplate is old-fashioned and should be taken away? But it's their first W app, let's give them a break 😭 Let's just give them this one time!

-Oh, just spam lol~

-As long as something really bad doesn't come out, it's about reading the room~

-First, the name is fine, so the nameplate is unexpectedly cute and makes sense, right?

Thanks to this, the members who were close to the smartphone screen to see the reaction to the fandom name could judge the situation from comments like 'lol' and '😭' and 'I love you.'

[Reporting! The reaction seems good!]

[Yes, that's a relief...]

[Great!]

Testa, with an excited face, continued to the next announcement.

[Then, I'll announce the official color!]

* * *

Testa's first W Live went on for quite a long time.

It was originally scheduled for 2 hours, but the members felt it was a pity to end their first W Live just by following the script.

So, in the latter half, quite a lot of TMI was revealed.

=========================

[Today's MBTI results from Testa on the W app lol]

: Ryu Cheong-woo ESFJ / Lee Se-jin A ISFP / Seo Ah-hyeon ISFJ / Big Se-jin ENTJ / Park Moon-dae INTJ / Kim Rae-bin INFP / Cha Yujin ENTP

It was really amusing to see these guys, who had never done this before, get excited and do it live... Testa is a real treat even on W Live...

※It wasn't a formal test, so just for fun!

=========================

-None of them overlap, lol

-😭😭😭 The kids were so cute today, I wish the W app would be on more often

-Extroverts and introverts really came out like ghosts, especially the confident E Big Se-jin lol

-Every time the ESFJ description for Cheong-woo came up, the kids were amazed at how similar they were, they looked like kindergarten kids who really like their teacher 😭 Oh, how cute

-The ones with low empathy are T. It fits.

└?? Is there a fool judging someone's character by their MBTI?

└Lol, hitting half of humanity with a broad brush, well done~

Of course, the atmosphere of celebrating the finally decided fandom name was the strongest.

-Testa was a bit creepy because it reminded me of testers, but thanks to my singer giving the fans a love-filled reviewer concept, I've forgotten all about it

└This is true, Testa-Loviewer is a perfect match, no arguments here????️

-I'm planning to change my name to Kim Loviewer as soon as the court opens tomorrow. It's lovely and seems like it could be a hit

└Lol, are you crazy lol If two people apply in one day, it would be strange, I'll do it alone

└Lol

-Choosing a sky blue color for the fandom based on the time of day in three tones was also good. It feels connected to the world of this album?

└True, anyway, colors are kind of nominal these days lol

-Actually, our light sticks will be really noticeable... so the color might not matter that much...

└Lol, true lol

└I'm already looking forward to the light sticks lol

Testa's fans enjoyed the various teasers that came out during the first W Live and spent their Sunday.

Moreover, the final fan signing event for this activity was in progress.

-Will the fan signing be okay after the W Live? 😭

-These guys really can't manage their schedules;

While worrying about Testa and cursing the agency, people's hearts couldn't help but wait for feedback on the W Live-related stories.

Fortunately, the atmosphere being relayed in real-time was very good.

-Someone gave Rae-bin a baseball bat-shaped maracas 😂😂 Rae-bin is so embarrassed 😂 (photo)

-I asked Moon-dae to draw a dog. Well... Anyway, since Moon-dae is a dog, this is a dog from now on. (photo of a pancake-like drawing)

-Ahyeon prepared gifts today 😭 It's a deer character pen 😭 I got a signature with it! (photo)

And Testa, feeling that things were going well, was conducting the fan signing event even more energetically.

* * *

"Moon-dae, can you draw the light stick here?"

"...Sure. Here?"

"Yep!"

I feel like I've received similar requests about ten times today. I hid my reluctant expression and drew the final version of the light stick next to the signature.

...I drew it, but I can't tell what it is at all.

"What do I do! It's so good......"

Maybe the rough look makes it more human and endearing...

'Or maybe it's the rarity because I can't draw it well.'

Either way, if the person receiving it likes it, it doesn't matter, but I can't help feeling like the light stick has become Kim Sun-dal.

'It feels like I'm just killing time.'

I finished the drawing as quickly as possible and asked again.

"Is there anything else you'd like to see?"

"Whoa, then write something exciting!"

"Hmm, something exciting......"

Such vague requests are the most difficult in this environment where I can't spend time thinking.

But since I hear this more than twice during a fan signing session, I'm starting to get the hang of it.

I immediately wrote down the text below the light stick.

[Today's Park Moon-dae's evening schedule: Think about the Loviewer met at the fan signing]

"Whoa......"

"See you again."

The fan, swaying, was moved to the next position by the staff. Since I had already held out once, this time the staff was firm, leaving no choice.

'Sure enough, mentioning a specific situation related to the person is the most effective.'

Adding a bit of a personal touch is better, but I can't think of anything in 20 seconds, so there's nothing I can do.

'It really will come to mind in the evening.'

I rubbed the back of my neck and waited for the next person, but there was no sign of anyone coming yet.

"Se-jin, do you have any secrets to performing well on stage?"

"Hmm~ If you tell me what you like about me, I can use that as my secret!"

"Wow!"

Big Se-jin was almost seamlessly continuing the conversation, which was impressive. The staff couldn't even intervene, which was amazing.

'Time's up......'

While looking at the camera calling out names, I heard the fan who had just passed talking to Seo Ah-hyeon.

"Ah, hello."

"Ah, yes. Hello."

The fan didn't seem particularly interested in Seo Ah-hyeon, as there was no particular enthusiasm in their voice.

"Umm, what, what's your name?"

"Yes?"

I could hear the fan asking back in a slightly confused voice.

"Y, y, your name...!"

Seo Ah-hyeon asked again, but the slightly lower voice made it even more muffled. The fan's tone started to show a bit of irritation.

"I can't hear you well......"

"S, s, sorry."

"No, it's okay."

"......"

It's not a good feeling.

After that, Seo Ah-hyeon's voice disappeared.

Glancing over, I saw that he was still signing.

"Hello!"

"Hello."

Finally, it seemed that Big Se-jin's conversation had ended, and another fan came to me. The fan, who was still waving to Big Se-jin, was waiting to hand over the album, and I heard a voice from the side again.

"Umm, t, this......"

"Ah."

It seemed that Seo Ah-hyeon was offering a gift he had prepared.

And a slightly hurt voice refused.

"Ah, it's okay. It's fine."

"......!"

The fan who was sitting in front of Seo Ah-hyeon left the spot.

Actually, it could happen.

No job always deals with only kind people. Since it wasn't to the point of being cursed at in front of everyone, it might just be a bit unpleasant and passed over.

The problem is that the situation is X-level awkward.

'Stuttering, unfamiliar peers, rejection.'

The keywords are a triple crown.

It's like someone is doing tap dance on Seo Ah-hyeon's trauma switch.

"......"

Looking over, I saw Seo Ah-hyeon stiff as a board, sweating coldly.

'What the X...'

This will be noticed if it goes on a little longer.

I took the pen from Seo Ah-hyeon's hand and immediately tore off the wrapping.

"......!"

"This is a gift Ah-hyeon prepared. Can I sign with this too?"

"Wow! That's so nice!"

I immediately started signing and pulled Seo Ah-hyeon into the conversation.

"And Ah-hyeon will give you the one I'm using now and another wrapped one."

"Whoa...?! Really?"

"Of course. Right?"

"Y, y, yes!"

Seo Ah-hyeon, who seemed to have regained his senses, started to respond.

'At least the stiffness is gone.'

"Wow, this is so nice, why am I getting two?"

"It's a thank you for listening to Big Se-jin for so long. Our member is quite talkative, you know."

"Hey, that's too much!"

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Somehow hearing this, Big Se-jin added a line and disappeared.

At this point, the fan seemed to think it was all a joke and happily took the pens with a laugh.

"Thank you so much~ How did you know I was a fan?"

"Big Se-jin said it about ten times from the side?"

"Haha...!"

The fan, laughing in embarrassment, fortunately also spoke sincerely to the next person in line, Seo Ah-hyeon, and had a conversation.

And Seo Ah-hyeon regained his composure before the next person came.

'At least it's over.'

Fortunately, there were no other incidents until the end of the fan signing that day.

* * *

"Are you okay?"

"Y, y, yes."

In the car on the way back to the dorm, Seo Ah-hyeon's condition was definitely better than before.

But his complexion was still pale.

And he kept muttering apologies.

"S, s, sorry... I, I almost, almost caused, a big problem......"

"It's not that bad."

It could become a bit of a troublesome scandal, but it wasn't something that would harm the group.

But the problem was that his mental state would likely break first if this continued.

'He'll keep worrying about the same situation happening again at the next fan signing.'

And if his 'perseverance' trait ever deactivated... it could really harm the group. There would be a hole in the dance line.

"Do you want to consider counseling?"

"......I, I don't have time... and..."

"If you tell the agency, they might give you some time off. These days, many people take breaks for such issues."

Since the activity had been going on for 4 weeks, if Seo Ah-hyeon said he couldn't handle it, they would likely give him some leeway.

But Seo Ah-hyeon shook his head hastily.

"T, they'll give me a break soon, so, so, I'll do it then."

"......"

That's just for publicity, and they'll probably give a few days and make a show of it.

I was about to suggest he get it now, but Seo Ah-hyeon spoke first.

"R, right now... I don't want to. I, I'm still active, and I, I don't want to miss any schedules."

He's firm.

Since he said so, I decided to let it go for now. It was the first time this happened.

"Hmm... Okay. I understand."

"Y, y, yes......"

'If the atmosphere seems off, I'll just contact Seo Ah-hyeon's parents.'

The conversation didn't leak out because we were talking quietly in the car with music playing. I decided to escape by using earplugs to block out Cha Yujin's voice singing along to a pop song.

"......"

And when we arrived at the dorm.

The living room was filled with balloons.

"......?!"
