LIGHTNOVELSTORY Chapter 188
Chapter 188
On Raon couldn’t lift his head as he watched the broadcast that openly aired my outrageous deeds.
“Hey, you…”
“This is… definitely something to apologize for.”
The members, momentarily taken aback by the brazen behavior, soon began teasing On Raon playfully.
“Now that I think about it, blocking might actually be a good idea.”
“Block him and forget about ever seeing him again.”
On the screen, On Raon turned back to face the camera.
[On Raon: Please, please keep this a secret that I said such a thing.]
[Production Team: (Stifling laughter) Yes.]
– Lolololololololololololol
– The production team that promises anonymous protection like that and On Raon who agrees to it are both crazy lolololol
– What’s with the emphasis on modern-day variety shows lol
– The subtitles are so funny because they’re not overly intimidated lolol
– Too much courage. Next time, just don’t be scared, On Raon. You’re a brave boy.
– Muk Hye-sung’s expression lolol
As the reckless interview finally ended, Muk Hye-sung’s face appeared with no less than three exclamation marks next to it.
Muk Hye-sung, who seemed thirsty, gulped down water on the screen.
[If that kid really thought I was scary, he wouldn’t act like that.]
Without showing any signs of being offended, Muk Hye-sung’s seemingly detached comment caused the participant, who earlier tried to portray him as a scary person, to stand up and apologize politely.
[I apologize to Hye-sung for calling you scary earlier.]
[I accept your apology.]
[Thank you. Scary person, my foot. It seems like he considers me a pushover.]
[Right, Hye-sung. No matter how cute the kid is, you shouldn’t indulge such rude behavior.]
Viewers, including Chronicle fans, who had never seen this refreshing side of Muk Hye-sung, laughed heartily.
– I never thought I’d live to hear someone call Muk oppa a pushover lol
– Saying Muk Hye-sung isn’t scary lol. The Pick 3 trainees who got scolded every chance he got must feel so wronged lololol
– An amazing fifth-cousin relationship in many ways
– Blood ties are really something
– When Miri unni said not to indulge, why does it sound like Raon is Hye-sung oppa’s actual son lol
– Not even ten minutes into the show, and there are already so many highlight moments lol
After that, On Raon gave Muk Hye-sung a cute chick cushion as a gift, but thanks to the power of editing, it only looked like a bribe to cover up his audacious interview.
Anyway, after the morning commotion passed.
On the screen, On Raon and Muk Hye-sung lightly argued about whether to go out or not.
[(Let’s go out and have brunch.)]
[(Brunch?)]
[
[(It’s brunch.)]
Park Miri, who was in the studio, laughed and said, “Hye-sung, you sounded like an old man just now.” Muk Hye-sung firmly responded, “I’m not an old man now that I know what it means.”
However, he spectacularly failed the slang test that followed.
[Do you know what TMI is?]
[Isn’t it similar to an ATM…?]
[Then what about “Boksipyeonsal”?]
[If you practice abdominal breathing for three months, you can live comfortably?]
[Wow~ You really don’t know anything. What about “Byeoldajul”?]
[It’s not worth it. Standing in line to eat it.]
[No, that’s not it. It means abbreviating everything.]
[…Then why abbreviate even that word?]
– Muk Hye-sung’s last guess was so funny lol Why were you even expecting it lol
– His expression and tone showing genuine confusion were the highlights lolololol
– Muk-ssi…
– A person who still has his long-time members saved as “Chronicle OOO” on his phone
[(Let’s just stay home.)]
[
On Raon, who was munching honey butter chips, got angry at the ridiculous subtitle.
“Hey, PD! The subtitle is completely wrong. Who’s the extrovert here, who?”
“It’s accurate though…”
[(I have something prepared. Let me read the messages that your fans sent me.)]
On Raon’s mouth, undoubtedly full of guts, relayed the infamous comments like “handsome mold” and “look at Hye-sung” word for word on air.
– Eternals in collective shock
– No… None of us thought there was anyone else in the world as bold as Joo Yeon-ho to read such things in front of Muk oppa
– Hye-sung, we’ve filled your variety show time (sniff) If you’re grateful, do a proper cover of Chuchuchu at the next solo concert
– Muk Hye-sung’s formal Chuchuchu cover, please
– Now that Muk Hye-sung has said on national TV that he doesn’t plan on getting married, he must keep it
– Cheering for Muk Hye-sung’s lifelong bachelorhood
– I’m not an Eternal, but I support this too
[(Don’t worry about such trivial things. Let’s go out! The sun is shining, and the world is beautiful! It’s too nice a day to stay home!)]
After the heated urging to get Muk Hye-sung out of the house, On Raon’s solo interview scene appeared again.
[On Raon: Although I said that earlier, actually… I think there’s no weather that makes it a waste to stay home. I mean, the house is already perfect, so what does it matter what the weather is like outside? Still, I came here with a mission from the Eternals to get the teacher out, so I just held my breath and restrained myself.]
– So true. My mom always tells me to go out and get some fresh air, but doesn’t it come inside if I open the window~~~
– A thousand times relatable, as an introvert
– Right.. Even if you’re an extrovert, you can be a homebody
– If you think about it, Eternal isn’t even his own fan but someone else’s fan. It’s so cute how he listens because it’s his uncle’s fan ㅠㅠㅠ
Just as On Raon’s interview seemed to end with a lot of empathy from introverts and affection from Chronicle fans…
[Production Team: So, are you saying, Mr. Raon, that you lied on our show?]
[On Raon: (Flinches)]
The Ten to Ten production team was relentless.
The panel, who had been watching the interview with great interest, burst into laughter and applause.
[Ah, that’s right!]
[In that case, Raon, you need to explain your previous statement.]
As if to see what he was going to say, Muk Hye-sung on the screen crossed his long legs and leaned forward a bit.
On Raon, rolling his eyes, looked resentfully at the production crew in front of him. Soon, he regained his characteristic shameless composure and made a request.
[On Raon: Um, could you play that part again, please?]
As before, a black screen appeared for a few seconds with a caption indicating that the screen was being adjusted, and then the back of On Raon, who had turned around again, was shown.
[???: Fake broadcast. Of course, it should be avoided.]
– This is killing me, it’s funny from the first word.
– Wow, there are many Koreans who can’t distinguish between avoiding and aiming for.. It’s impressive how he uses such sophisticated(?) vocabulary naturally. Is he really a foreigner?
– Now, whenever he says something, I just naturally laugh. Even though he’s ridiculously handsome, making me smile subtly just by looking at him, when he speaks, I end up grinning from ear to ear.
[???: But personally! I think a bit of seasoning is necessary for a broadcast. Like salt or sugar. We all know they’re not good for our health, but we still use them in cooking. Our leader, who is very concerned about our health, is an excellent cook but doesn’t avoid using sugar or salt just because they’re unhealthy. What’s important is moderation…]
[
For a while, On Raon, whose voice was modulated, was broadcasted speaking quickly.
The subtitles of what On Raon was saying scrolled rapidly at the bottom of the screen.
– ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
– What’s with the leader who cares so much about our healthㅋㅋㅋㅋ He doesn’t care one bit whether he’s anonymous or notㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
– On Raon looked like someone from another world because he was so handsome, but seeing him like this makes him seem really trivialㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
The real-time comments were filled with ‘ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ’.
Ban Yo-han and Kang Ji-woo also laughed until they were out of breath.
In that situation, On Raon, having removed his disguise, looked straight ahead again, brushed his forehead stylishly, and said brightly.
[On Raon: Oh, broadcasting is really not easy!]
Anyway, thanks to On Raon’s enthusiastic appeal, Muk Hye-sung and On Raon were finally able to leave the house.
The panelists chimed in with comments like, “Finally, our handsome mold, Hye-sung, is going out,” “Wow, look at that nice car,” “The weather is so good.”
And the two of them roamed around various parts of Seoul Forest.
[Why are Hye-sung and Raon taking photo shoots while walking around?]
[Hey, Young-min. You shouldn’t be jealous of this. It’s nice to see the two of them getting along so well~]
[No, it’s not jealousy~]
They played with the water near the ground fountain, took pictures with a child who approached them wearing squeaky shoes, and sent hearts to citizens who shouted that they were handsome, just like idols would.
– On Raon always starts with a double-handed heart unless asked to do a single-handed heart first. It’s funny how he refuses to use small, petty hearts.
– Wow, it’s beautiful. I’ve never been here even though I live in Seoul. I should visit this weekend.
– On Raon splashing water at Muk Hye-sung and then running away like a little kid is so cute.
– It’s touching how Muk Hye-sung constantly looks after the mischievous cat… Why don’t I have an uncle like thatㅠㅠㅠㅠ
– Their chemistry is so goodㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ It’s a shame today’s the last broadcast they do together.. Please film about 500 more times.. Make a vlog titled ‘Will Muk Hye-sung get drenched today or not’ with this uncle-nephew duo.
Finally, the much-awaited piano appeared.
[(How come there’s a piano here?)]
[(I know, right.)]
– Finally, it’s here
– I was so upset they cut it off in the preview, but now I finally get to see it.
– The atmosphere is truly fantastic…
[(Do you want to play it?)]
At Muk Hye-sung’s question, On Raon, looking somewhat pensive, cautiously sat on the piano bench.
– Just a moment ago, he was a perfect entertainer, and now he’s all sentimental?
– I think I just… fell in love….
– How can trimming nails be so mesmerizing?
– Understand us, Raon, we’re still a bit unfamiliar with serious On…
The transparent light shone clearly in his eyes, which were slightly angled by the afternoon sunlight.
