Holy Idol [EN]: Chapter 150

Moving Day

< 150. Moving Day>

[Hey, you crazy bastard! I told you to diss him in a way that makes you look good together, not like sunbae-hoobae [senior-junior relationship] who pretend to be close but are aiming for each other’s backs!]

“I did what you told me to do, sunbae [senior].”

[What did I do! What did I do!]

“I mixed in a little diss, compared you to other sunbaes [seniors], and everyone knows you have a huge bias— Hello? Hello?”

The voice is gone. I took the phone away from my ear and saw that it was disconnected.

Rembrary pressed the home button to exit the call and checked the SNS [Social Networking Service] reactions, as the ‘call time’ numbers were just blinking and not going up anymore.

‘Did I say something that bad?’

– lololol he roasted him well lololol

– Seon Woo-sil must have been nagging him

– Woo Yeon-woo did a Woo Yeon-woo. You have to do it once a day to make it worthwhile.

n Il-Yeon-woo did an Il-Yeon-woo

n Lee-Yeon-woo will probably do a Lee-Yeon-woo too

n Will Sam-Yeon-woo do a Sam-Yeon-woo

n Disconnected ^^;

n Seriously, there’s always one or two clueless bastards

– Seon Woo-sil has turned into the neighborhood pushover hyung [older brother/male friend] image since hanging out with Woo Yeon-woo lololol

– Where did Woo-sil’s swag go ㅜ

Rembrary turned off his phone and put it in his pocket.

‘The reaction doesn’t seem that bad.’

The next day was a bit busy. It was finally the day Wild Animal moved from their cramped and small dorm to a large and spacious one.

The reason was a stalker sending strange letters and Jong-woo’s missing pizza, but anyway, the members were happy just by the fact that the rooms would be bigger.

Everyone wants to have their own personal space. In the cramped dorm, there was no such space, so the members kept bumping into each other.

“Moving, moving, we’re moving!”

Among the members who were packing their things while humming and singing with excitement, Rembrary also put his few belongings into the assigned box.

It was a box with a sloth picture on the lid.

“Did you pack everything?”

Jong-woo, who didn’t even have any luggage here, was busy running around, asking as if he had a lot to do.

Hye-gyeol, who was singing, shouted the loudest, “Oh! I’m done! I’m done if I pack this!”

“Isn’t there anything else to pack?”

Jong-woo asked, still anxious, and Keshi answered while carrying a box.

“Nope.”

“Tae-in, what about you?”

“Just a minute! 10 minutes!”

“Jeong-seo?”

“I’m all done.”

“Yeon-woo, what about you… Hey, don’t pack that! What are you doing?”

“This is food Jang Tae-ri gave me.”

“I told you to only pack personal items? I’ll take care of the food and big furniture later with the staff.”

“It is a personal item.”

“……Go. Get in the car. Quickly.”

Rembrary, who had his personal food taken away, sulked and went out with the box.

When he went outside, the members were already out and getting into the van.

Rembrary, who got into the car last, slammed the door shut and went to the innermost seat.

Even after the car started, the excited atmosphere remained.

‘How many rooms are there? Can I use a single room? What do you mean by a single room, am I being imprisoned?’ The members were laughing, chatting, and joking around, making it seem like they were getting along better than usual.

Keshi was joking with Hye-gyeol, making prison jokes, and then asked Rembrary with a giggle.

“Hey Yeon-woo, which room are you going to live in?”

“The room sizes are all about the same.”

“No, but there will be some difference in room size. Are you going to jump in to take the biggest room?”

“A big room…”

Rembrary wore a self-deprecating smile.

‘Why is he muttering like that with a story?’

The members looked at him, puzzled, and Rembrary answered gently.

“Even if it’s big, it won’t be as big as my Chriskealla Kerquera Andrea’s room, so what’s the point?”

“What’s that huge name? Is it a cousin?”

“A cousin? It’s the horse I raise.”

“You raise a horse?”

“But stables are usually huge, right?”

When Tae-in asked with a blank expression, Rembrary asked, “Shall I put it in easier terms?” and the members looked at Rembrary again, puzzled.

“No matter how big the house we’re moving to is, it won’t even be as big as my original room’s bathroom.”

However, when Rembrary answered firmly, the members felt bad and made ‘tsk tsk’ sounds.

He was annoying.

Even Jeong-seo, who always took Rembrary’s side, found Rembrary’s remarks annoying.

“Ugh, so bougie [luxurious/high-class]. Go away!”

Hye-gyeol couldn’t stand it and screamed, moving to the opposite seat.

***

While they were laughing and chatting, the van stopped in front of a new building.

“Is this it?”

“Awesome!”

“Wow, so cool.”

The members unbuckled their seatbelts as soon as the car stopped and jumped out, giggling with excitement.

Just as Rembrary was about to follow, Jong-woo turned around from the passenger seat and called out, “Yeon-woo.”

Rembrary sat back down and replied, “What’s up?” and Jong-woo asked.

“You brought your selfie cam, right?”

Selfie cam? He did bring it. Rembrary tapped the box he was holding, and Jong-woo asked again.

“You’re going to film a video diary, right?”

Rembrary tapped the box he was holding again, and Jong-woo asked in a slightly lower voice.

“You’re going to say nonsense while filming too, right?”

‘Is that what he called me for?’

“I do not speak nonsense.”

Rembrary answered bluntly, but that wasn’t Jong-woo’s point.

“Yeon-woo, you’re good at acting, right?”

‘What is he trying to say?’

“You’re better than Unicorn.”

Since that was true, Rembrary agreed, “Of course, of course,” and Jong-woo suggested.

“Act like you’re getting along well.”

“Jong-woo, we get along well.”

“Not with me, with the members.”

“Where?”

“In the video diary.”

What? Rembrary raised his eyebrows, and Jong-woo explained, imitating filming with a selfie camera.

“We’ve decorated the dorm really nicely, right? Show it off with the camera, like ‘Our dorm is so cool!’ and exchange some friendly words with the kids, huh?”

“No matter how nicely you decorate the dorm, it’s still a doghouse…”

“We can put a real doghouse in the dorm and write ‘Woo Yeon-woo’s Room’ on it.”

“Understood. I will act like I get along well.”

“It would be even better if you actually got along well.”

“Tell that to the other members.”

“Try to open your heart and approach them.”

“I am always ready to receive believers, Jong-woo.”

“As a friend!”

Without answering, Rembrary took out the selfie camera from the box and turned it on. Then, he naturally handed the box to Jong-woo.

Jong-woo accepted the box in a daze and was about to shout, ‘Hey!’

However, Rembrary raised the camera and pointed the lens towards Jong-woo, so he stopped nagging and quickly smiled brightly.

“It’s not on yet.”

As soon as he heard Rembrary’s words, his face crumpled again, but

“You bastard!”

“Ah. It’s on.”

“Pretty bastard.”

As Rembrary went out with the camera, Jong-woo rubbed his forehead, saying, “Oh my…”

Hugging the box, he tapped his head against the backrest and instructed Gam-jae.

“The parking lot is over there. That way.”

Meanwhile, Rembrary approached the building entrance with the selfie camera awkwardly raised near his face.

‘It’s a secure place.’ There were as many as four security guards standing near the building entrance.

Moreover, three of those security guards were burly, and their attire was also black suits.

One was relatively smaller and a bit old to be fighting, but he was very wise and had the sharpest eyes, so you could immediately tell that he had a lot of experience in this field.

Rembrary was a little worried that they might stop him, so he walked along with the camera.

However, they just glanced at Rembrary with expressionless faces and didn’t stop him from entering.

‘It’s Woo Yeon-woo.’

‘It’s Woo Yeon-woo.’

‘It’s Woo Yeon-woo, isn’t it?’

‘He doesn’t seem like a crazy person in real life?’

Thinking that they must have already been told that he was moving in today, Rembrary entered the lobby.

***

September 18th.

A windy day.

The screen keeps shaking today because we’re moving.

Jong-woo hyung [older brother/male friend] says that this dorm is going to be very big and cool.

Even if it’s big… hmm.

Ah. I see our leader over there, moving with a box.

“Jeong-seo!”

“Video diary?”

“Yeah.”

“Can I film while moving?”

“Jong-woo hyung [older brother/male friend] told me to film.”

“Ah.”

Our Jeong-seo is good at acting and singing… is he good? Anyway, he’s a bit shy.

He’s putting on a straight face, but that’s just the shell. The real Jeong-seo inside is like a soft and squishy pudding.

Of course, I’ve never eaten pudding in this world. But still, pudding is pudding, right?

But if someone buys me pudding, I’m confident I can eat it very deliciously.

Shin Jo-woon, I’ll pretend not to know if you send me pudding. Get ready to be promoted from anchovy to whale…

“Yeon-woo. Elevator!”

Do you see? Jong-woo hyung [older brother/male friend] is running over and shouting.

But why is his finger pointing at my mouth instead of the elevator?

“Yeon-woo. Can you turn that off for a second?”

***

September 18th.

Can’t tell the weather because I’m inside the building.

This is the elevator… Jong-woo hyung [older brother/male friend] is next to me…

I have to control my mouth…

The elevator stopped.

Now, I will reveal Wild Animal’s second dorm to you all.

Uh? Why is the hallway showing?

“Jong-woo hyung [older brother/male friend]. Which unit is it?”

“That one. The third one.”

I guess there are three houses on one floor. There are three entrances.

I thought we would use the whole floor since it’s so big.

Three households sharing one floor,

“Yeon-woo. Mouth.”

I don’t know why there’s so much nagging next to me while I’m writing a diary.

I will never, ever write a live video diary from now on.

Can’t say what I want to,

“Yeon-woo. Mouth.”

It’s frustrating.

Anyway, now I will reveal the inside of the house.

Actually, I don’t know what it’s like inside since it’s my first time too… Who is that person?

It’s a familiar face. Oh Jeong-shin… sunbae [senior]?

“Woo Yeon-woo?”

Oh Jeong-shin sunbae [senior] also stops when he sees me coming out.

“Are you filming a two-timing entertainment video diary right now?”

“It’s a dating process. It is.”

“You’re filming a video diary?”

“Yes.”

“Who films a diary in real time! Is that a diary?”

“My manager hyung [older brother/male friend] told me to film it.”

“Are you filming right now?”

“Yes.”

***

– Huh huh huh huh huh? What’s next? What’s after this?

– Seriously, you can’t do this! Why did you cut it off as soon as you met Oh Jeong-shin!

– Didn’t they turn off the camera and fight? lololol

– Turn it on ㅠㅠ Sloth, turn the camera back on ㅠㅠ If you’re going to fight, turn it on and fight ㅠㅠ

– Did they cut the clip video here, or is this actually all the footage there is?

– They probably sent it out to check that ㅠㅠㅠㅠ

– Check it on the live broadcast ^^ This is it.

– Wow, so Woo Yeon-woo and Oh Jeong-shin really live next door to each other? lololol

– Oh Jeong-shin will probably get gastritis ㅠㅠ

n What are you saying? Yeon-woo will get it, why would Oh Jeong-shin get gastritis?

n Is your conscience Woo Yeon-woo? Put aside your fan heart and look at it objectively, Woo Yeon-woo fan.
