Chapter 89

If I can't debut, I'll get a disease that will kill me 089

Below the suddenly trending video by TeSTAR, a title appeared.

[TeSTAR - Magic is You]

It was a title that didn't have a detailed description and didn't seem too official.

Moreover, seeing TeSTAR in animal pajamas, it somehow felt like a cute and casual behind-the-scenes clip.

'Good~'

The fans clicked play with a moderate sense of joy.

Then, an unfamiliar accompaniment began to play. It was a refreshing and soft medium tempo from an electronic piano.

And TeSTAR, who was sprawled out in the room, slowly got up and formed a pose.

'...??'

A new song? A cover?

The vocals began, surprising the confused fans.

- Today, I feel so good, as if

Something good is about to happen

- You'll be fine, everything will be okay

It's unfamiliar, but somehow it feels good

A pleasant melody that wasn't overdone.

Then, TeSTAR, wearing animal pajamas, jumped into the air and started dancing.

The animal ear-shaped fabric on her head flapped.

“……!”

The fans' shouts began to fill the SNS in real-time.

- I thought it was a reality behind-the-scenes, but it's a new song, click now

- Quickly check the video on the kids' accounts, it's crazy

- ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ So cute

The dance was of moderate difficulty, based on basic skills with added cuteness.

However, thanks to the animal pajamas and the free gestures and movements in front of the camera, it didn't look clumsy.

- Reality shines like a dream

In dreams, I dream of a wonderful tomorrow

When I meet you tomorrow

I'll only talk about sparkling dreams

Cha Yujin, wearing a snow leopard pajama, came out, wagging her tail with one hand and humming the verse.

Then, she sprinkled flower petals to match the lyrics.

Seon Ah-hyeon, in a deer pajama, appeared through the flower petals.

- My dreams that never fade

Push me to run faster in reality

Reality is breathing~ Yeh

YES breathing (breathing!)

Hoo-ha! Hoo-ha!

Perhaps due to the surrounding cheers, or the sudden hip-hop remix, Seon Ah-hyeon made unusually bouncy and rhythmic movements.

At this point, the fans realized.

'It's "Magic Boy" lyrics!'

The words from "Magic Boy" were cheerfully reassembled to create a thrilling day's feeling.

And simultaneously, everyone thought.

'It's Kim Raebin.'

'This is Kim Raebin.'

The impact of the Moon Rabbit competition.

Meanwhile, the song moved into the pre-chorus.

- I'll run breathlessly (Umm~)

Will you smile when you see me?

Park Moon-dae, in a white baby bear pajama, came to the center and suddenly knelt down.

'...??'

Then, he started mimicking the center position of the "Magic Boy" ending choreography.

It was obviously a joke, but he did it earnestly.

The fans were in stitches.

- ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

- Moon-dae is in a sporadic state

- Big Sejin is about to fall behind him, lol

- Someone quickly make a clip of Moon-dae's part, I need to watch this regularly

The part ended with the members helping Moon-dae back up and calming the situation.

Meanwhile, the lyrics were sweet.

- There's nothing that doesn't change

(Even if that's true)

The magic of this moment

-Maybe it’s YOU~

TeSTAR, who sang the last line of the pre-chorus, started the chorus with impressive choreography.

Big Sejin, in a black baby bear costume, was the center.

- Today, I feel so good, as if

Something good is about to happen

(Ooh- yeah!)

- You'll be fine, everything will be okay

It's unfamiliar, but somehow it feels good

Thanks to the pleasant lyrics and Big Sejin's large movements, the chorus flowed smoothly and looked like a great dance video.

However, next came Kim Raebin in a pink rabbit pajama.

It was the ultimate imbalance.

- ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Raebin in pink

- What happened to the medieval rabbit?

- But it's so cuteㅠㅠ Raebin is doing everything he wants, but get permission first

Holding a carrot like a microphone, Kim Raebin hummed a singing rap.

-LIFE is strange

Lightly stepping up

Walking above the sky

Even if it rains, I don't care

My life is

-bright, pouring light

All right, you're right

I'm shining today

TeSTAR, flapping her animal ears and headbanging like at a rock festival, was the highlight.

- ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

- I'm happy you're happy

The video continued with a mix of humor and coolness.

But it ended with a slightly shy smile and a serious tone.

- Yesterday's meeting with you

Became today's shining dream

And tomorrow's magic

Yeah, magic is you.

The video ended with TeSTAR all holding hands and bowing.

- ㅠㅠㅠ

- Seriously, you guys just uploaded this without any notice? You're such good kids

- Suddenly, the quality of life has skyrocketed

- I don't know who designed the animal pajamas, but please feed them a cow

The fans were so happy with the sudden new song and video that they felt like they had indigestion. But they also had questions.

- But is this a new song?

- It seems like a new song, but it doesn't show up in searches

- Wow, is it okay to release a new song like this?

- It's not even on Melon; did the agency accidentally upload it?

└ Crazy

Fans who had experienced the incompetence of the agency a few times were suddenly anxious. It was just too strange.

Fortunately, within half an hour, a new post appeared on TeSTAR's account.

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

[This is a small gift from TeSTAR to the lovely reviewers who have given us so much since our debut. We love you♡

'Magic is You'

Soundcloudy : (link)]

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

The fans were amazed by the fan song released for free.

- It was a fan song?!

- You mean you released it for free on Soundcloud??

- No, guys, I'm so grateful, but shouldn't you just release it on Melon… ㅠㅠㅠ It's a waste at this timing, thinking about the year-end awards

└And the song is so good, it's even more of a waste

- When did you even make this? You didn't even seem to have time… But thank you, guys, you're so cute

While the fans were happy about the unexpected gift, they also felt conflicted, thinking, 'This is a perfect easy-listening song,' and 'If it had been released on music sites, it would have climbed the charts.'

Of course, more people were moved.

- TeSTAR is turning the "Magic is You" meme around… It's so good?

- You can't just end it with this, right…? At our year-end concert… we'll have a fun group sing-along with the fan song choreography…? Just thinking about it makes me feel great

- How did you think of making a fan song using the lyrics of the number one song? ㅠㅠ Kim Raebin is a genius, fitting for the arranger of the number one song

└It might not be Kim Raebin, everyone in TeSTAR was trending for writing

└ ㅋㅋㅋㅋ It's obvious who's biased, so leave my account

- I'll definitely buy it if it's included in the next album… I want the official album art and lyrics version

Anyway, most fans were happy, and TeSTAR, monitoring the reactions, was also happy.

* * *

"It was worth coming on this trip to work."

"Yeah, it turned out well despite the rush~"

"I like the pajamas."

Cha Yujin, still in her snow leopard pajamas, smiled brightly.

It was now 1:30 PM. It was time to wrap up the last content for Extreme Travel.

'…Honestly, the production team didn't expect this.'

In fact, from last night to this morning, they spent all their time recording the fan song and making the video.

The production team, who got hooked on the fan song content, gave them the time.

'Thanks to that, we managed to complete it roughly, even though we only had a rough draft.'

They had planned to release it later, but the production team convinced the company to release it now.

It seemed they wanted to use it for reality show promotion.

Next week's preview might say something like "The Making of That Fan Song," and the actual behind-the-scenes content would come out the week after that.

Anyway, everyone was happy with the positive reactions.

"…Shall we go eat now?"

"Sure."

They had skipped breakfast due to the choreography practice. They were hungry.

Fortunately, the production team, who had some conscience, took them to a nearby restaurant. It was a duck stew place, and they ate almost three servings per person.

"Thank you for the meal~"

"It was, it was delicious."

"Mr. Moon-dae, do you have any detailed comments?"

"The balance of sweetness and spiciness was good, the meat was good, and the rice was so good that I kept eating. Is that enough?"

"O~"

The next activity was… river rafting.

"Watch out, you'll fall over there!"

"Ah!!"

Splash! The river water splashed like a water bomb on their faces, but they still had to paddle.

"Come on, everyone! If one person makes a mistake, we all fall in! We have to look out for each other!"

"Y-Yes, sir!"

Paddling and getting wet on the wobbly boat was… almost like labor.

"Yay!"

But a few members seemed quite excited, especially Cha Yujin and Ryu Cheong-woo.

I don't know what they found so fun. But I understood one thing.

'…Are they trying to burn off the calories they ate?'

It felt like the company had hinted at this setup.

Unable to shake the thought that the duck stew was the culprit, I paddled silently.

"Yay~ Move your arms like that-"

It was an experience that reminded me of working part-time in a factory.

* * *

"Thank you for your hard work~"

"It was fun!"

After finishing the rafting, they changed and washed up at a nearby facility, and the afternoon quickly passed. It was time to wrap up the filming.

They set up the camera in a scenic spot nearby.

"Wow, we really used our time well."

"It felt like we were on a real trip together, it was fun. Thank you for making this a great time."

Half sincere, half for the show, the members exchanged their closing remarks with smiles.

"Next time… if we have the chance, it would be nice to go on a trip together."

This one seemed completely sincere.

"Let's go on another trip together."

"Agreed~"

"It would be nice to go abroad too."

…Wait, were the others also being sincere?

"Then, we'll see you again with a great appearance, dear fans!"

"Thank you for watching~ TeSTAR's Living Together TEST!"

The members, including me, waved enthusiastically after finishing the set closing remarks.

"Thank you for watching~"

"See you again!"

The filming ended there.

"Cut! Good job~"

"Yay!!"

"Thank you!"

Everyone's faces were bright, having completed another schedule successfully.

It seemed this filming was quite enjoyable.

"This place is close to Seoul and is nice. It would be good to come with family next time."

"It was good."

While returning the microphone attached to my body, I overheard Ryu Cheong-woo and Lee Se-jin talking. Suddenly, the manager ran over.

"……?"

"Raebin, wait a moment…"

The manager took Kim Raebin to a nearby corner.

Then, he returned Kim Raebin's smartphone, which he had left out during the water activities, and whispered something.

At that moment, Kim Raebin's face turned pale.

"……!"
