Chapter 79

"Hey! Ta! Teorra! (1)"

【TEORRA OFFICIAL】

The official Teorra account announced that self-produced content would be uploaded at 7 PM. I read the notice carefully several times.

Thinking it might be uploaded before the scheduled time, I kept refreshing Teorra's NewTube channel.

"It's up!"

With the intention of watching it first, I immediately moved the mouse to click. Since it was the first video, the title of the self-produced content appeared right away.

The title, written in a crooked, childlike font, was instantly recognizable as a parody. ...The problem was that the title itself was ambiguous.

"Who came up with this self-produced content title?"

I chuckled, then quickly wiped the smile off my face and sat up straight. The self-produced content of Teorra members needed to be greeted with reverence.

Ding dong?

The background music, a simplified version of the melody from the brand, added a lively touch.

The setting in the video was a Greek-style vacation home with strikingly white walls. The design was something you might see in an electrolyte drink commercial, and the size was not bad for the six members to stay for a while.

【Real Variety Show with Teorra!】

The genre of the self-produced content was introduced with subtitles, set against the backdrop of the vacation home.

The camera passed through the front door and living room, then climbed the stairs. The camera, which showed various areas, stopped in front of a door.

A sign reading 'GREEN' hung loosely on the door.

'So this is where Green sleeps!'

The camera, which had sneaked in as the door opened, zoomed in on Green, who was frowning, seemingly sensing the rustling sound.

"What's with the bed? Princess Shalala bed...?"

The princess-style bed, which I had always wanted to try, strangely suited the twenty-year-old man without any sense of incongruity.

I was used to Green's fox-like smile, where his eyes were always hidden, so his expression before waking up was unfamiliar.

Green's face, with a chill settling over it, resembled that of a noble.

"He really is sleeping."

The long, narrow eyes and the movement of the pale lips became still again. My heart raced at the new side of him.

I felt a sense of crisis, as if my usual taste, which had always been like a green pine tree, was about to waver.

If that cold expression melted into a sweet one in an instant, it would undoubtedly put a strain on the heart. Is this what they call a 'cold to warm tsundere'?

'Dangerous...'

While I couldn't resist the cuteness of his rabbit-like ears, clichés are clichés for a reason.

I hoped my favorite would appear soon, but I couldn't take my eyes off Green on the screen.

"...It feels familiar somehow?"

I wondered if I had seen a celebrity with a similar appearance somewhere. Since the standards of beauty have a certain common denominator, it's not uncommon to see celebrities with similar looks.

The person speaking on the screen was not visible, but it sounded like Peppermint.

'So Peppermint was holding the camera? I thought she only took good photos, but what a sense of stability!'

The camera work was smooth and steady, without any shaking or dizziness, so I naturally assumed a professional shooting crew was involved. While I was surprised by this unexpected fact, Green woke up and placed his arm over his eyes.

The screen slowed down, and a profile appeared next to Green's face.

【Green (Real Name: Nam Cheolok)】

【Birthday: August 31 (18 years old)】

【Specialties: Dance, Choreography, Eating (?)】

【Hobbies: Networking, Makeup】

【Strict Instructor and Prankster】

Peppermint, who woke Green up in the morning and confidently tried to drag him out for jogging, and Green, who reluctantly agreed despite not wanting to, had a natural and well-worn attitude.

Even though the location was not Teorra's residence, the smell of reality was strong. Since the information available to fans about Teorra members was limited, this self-produced content was like a treasure.

The camera left the room with Green's enlightened expression and entered another room.

The owners of the other room were two people, Seohoon and Ham Euiwon. Seohoon was already awake, leaning against the headboard of the bed and reading a book.

【Seohoon】

【Birthday: October 1 (19 years old)】

【Specialties: Sports】

【Hobbies: Sports, Reading Poetry, Watching Movies】

【Sensitive Sports Enthusiast, Endless Energy】

"What's with the 'endless energy'...?"

The camera turned to show Ham Euiwon, who was sleeping quietly. His perfectly balanced features looked almost inhuman.

His appearance always left me speechless. I couldn't imagine creating such a face even if I used all my brainpower.

Peppermint suddenly started singing, a song I had never heard before.

Was it a song that existed in the world? Ham Euiwon, sensitive to the wrong notes, woke up from his sleep.

【Ham Euiwon】

【Birthday: April 5 (17 years old)】

【Specialties: Singing, Instrumental Performance, Composition, Producing...】

【Hobbies: Listening to Music】

He momentarily furrowed his eyebrows, and just when I thought he was going back to sleep, he immediately opened his eyes wide after the song.

When I first saw Teorra members, I never expected Ham Euiwon to be the main vocalist. I was sure he and Peppermint were the visual members.

"Sure enough, the main vocalist."

When I heard Ham Euiwon's live performance in a NewTube video of Teorra members on stage, it was a simple surprise. But as I got more immersed in Teorra, I became happy that all the members were talented.

Of course, appearance is the top priority for idols. Since the first sense to experience an idol you can't meet in person is visual, it's inevitable. Humans are creatures swayed by visuals.

However, I believe the driving force that sustains a fan's heart is the members' performance abilities, including their singing and dancing.

While I can also get deeply into the members' relationships, their attitude towards fans, and their character, doing well in their 'main job' can instill pride in fans.

'An idol who points out the pitch while half-asleep... Isn't that actually good?'

Ham Euiwon, who had just woken up, asked Peppermint to sing again. While the song was repeated, Seohoon woke up and casually made the bed, ignoring Peppermint's pout.

Even without the 'reality' label, I could tell how routine this life was. It felt like indirectly experiencing Teorra's dorm life.

Seohoon, while Seohoon and Ham Euiwon were bickering, helped tidy up Ham Euiwon's bedding and nodded.

Ham Euiwon, after a sigh, took the blanket from Seohoon and tidied it up while listening to Peppermint's request.

So, he was saying he would run again with the other members. The time briefly appeared at the bottom of the screen.

【AM 7:10.】

Seohoon's fresh, sweat-free state indicated that he had already jogged and showered.

【Endless Energy】

The subtitle emphasized Seohoon's characteristic.

Peppermint's immediate agreement suggested that this was 'real' Seohoon's life. Despite a tight schedule and fatigue recently, he had woken up early to jog and read a book.

'Seohoon, you're living a godly life...'

This self-produced content would make many people reflect on their own lives. Since I had been living a nocturnal life, I felt a bit of a distance from Seohoon for a moment.

As Ham Euiwon was about to start nagging again, the camera quickly turned and left the room. It was a movement close to fleeing.

"Is it Ora's turn now?"

Since my favorite is Ora, I couldn't help but hope the next scene would be Ora. The camera, which had gone downstairs, quietly opened another door and entered.

And there it was. The fresh, round face of the cute bunny, lying on a white bed in a proper posture.

"Finally!"

The bare faces of the Teorra members that had been revealed so far had a natural charm of their own.

Even with the heavy makeup they wore on stage to prevent their features from being washed out by the strong lights, the difference was not noticeable. It must be because of their natural good looks.

"Isn't it almost the same as when they did a busking performance? They must have performed without any makeup... Our Ora looks exactly the same as back then."

Ora's skin, white enough to be transparent, was glowing in the morning sunlight. Her cheeks were tinged with pink, reminiscent of a peach. The camera lens was so close that every strand of hair was visible.

"What's with her skin...?"

From today, the 'Ora Peach Theory' will likely spread online. No doubt about it.

Perhaps because she had been criticized by Ham Euiwon, Peppermint paid attention to each syllable of Ora's name.

As her name was called, Ora's long eyelashes fluttered, and her large, dark eyes were revealed.

【Ora (Hong Ora)】

【Birthday: January 22 (17 years old)】

【Specialties: None】

【Hobbies: Drawing, Learning New Things】

【Hard Worker】

17 years old... I was calculating the age difference when I heard a voice I had never heard before.

Ora's completely sleepy voice was completely different from her usual voice. Her furrowed brows were filled with irritation.

【※Caution: Despite her baby rabbit-like appearance, she has a very cynical personality※】

Where had the overflowing cuteness in her usual tone gone?

Peppermint, who was now cowering, stuttered. The bold Peppermint, who was always confident, was nowhere to be seen. Even blinking rapidly didn't change the situation.

The gesture of brushing back her fallen hair triggered a sense of déjà vu. I couldn't understand why it reminded me of a tired office worker.

"...Ora?"

The screen moved to another bed where Jeton was lying. Jeton, who was lying on his back, seemed to have kicked the blanket off in his sleep. The blanket was balled up and rolling on the floor.

In stark contrast to Ora, who was sleeping so soundly she looked dead, Jeton was a mess. Peppermint, as if used to it, removed the blindfold and earplugs from Jeton.

Jeton's arm, searching for the blanket on the bed, seemed to be bothered by Peppermint's voice and covered his ears with both hands.

Ora's one word subdued Peppermint's high energy. Although Ora looked the most delicate among Teorra members, the cottages (fans) often worried about her standing out among the members...

"...Ah! This is a real 'variety show,' right? Right...?"
