Prince From Another Dimension Becomes An Idol [EN]: Chapter 113

#113.

It was an idea Do-jae would never have come up with.

“Now? In this state?”

Do-jae’s usually calm voice was filled with bewilderment and shock.

Woo-cheol laughed as if Do-jae’s reaction was amusing.

“Then the ON TV viewership will explode! Since you’re roommates with hyung [older brother/male friend], aim for the highest number of likes!”

Woo-cheol was the member who communicated with fans the most through ON TV live broadcasts.

Other members also turned on ON TV live broadcasts, but Woo-cheol broadcasted the most frequently and for the longest time.

‘We just finished our first overseas performance, so it would be good to meet fans live and tell them about it, but…’

Do-jae’s eyes widened as he scanned his appearance again.

He was only wearing a thin shower gown.

There was a risk that his chest area could be completely exposed.

Aside from that, the atmosphere itself was too…

It might become a 19+ broadcast [restricted to viewers 19 years or older].

Do-jae just thought it was embarrassing, but Woo-cheol, seeing Do-jae examining himself with serious eyes, opened his mouth.

“Hmm. It looks cool, but is it too much?”

Do-jae barely composed himself as Woo-cheol seemed to realize it was absurd.

“But I think the fans would like it!”

“Woo-cheol.”

“Then just take a selfie. No, I’ll take it for you. Focus on your face! That much is okay, right?”

“Why are you so set on capturing this image…?”

Of course, even as he said that, Do-jae understood Woo-cheol to some extent.

He wasn’t a social butterfly like Woo-cheol, but he was diligently monitoring major online communities and social media.

‘They do seem to like it when I’m half-naked.’

Do-jae thought, recalling how the fans’ reactions varied depending on his stage outfits.

But at the same time, he was well aware that ‘it shouldn’t be too excessive.’

‘The body is sexier when it’s revealed through clothing, or something like that.’

While Do-jae was thinking for a moment and neatly placing the used towel in front of the bathroom door,

Woo-cheol had already turned on the camera app.

“Hyung, sit here!”

Woo-cheol shouted, pointing to the bed.

He began to burn with passion as a photographer.

“Hyung, tilt your head a little!”

“Woo-cheol…”

Click, click, click. Woo-cheol captured Do-jae in the camera, even taking burst shots.

“Wow. Isn’t this a complete pictorial?”

Woo-cheol asked, showing the picture he had just taken.

Do-jae looked at Woo-cheol, slightly surprised.

It wasn’t quite a pictorial, but the picture was really good.

The composition, atmosphere, the yellowish lighting, the temperature of his expression, and even the humidity felt in his damp hair.

It was perfect.

“Hyung, you really have to thank me for this!”

Since it was true that the picture turned out well, Do-jae smiled and thanked him.

“Should I take one of you too?”

“No, it’s okay. I took five hundred selfies while hyung was showering. And my face looks best when I take selfies with the rear camera.”

Woo-cheol’s photography philosophy was more distinct than he thought.

“I guess.”

Do-jae nodded.

Certainly, among the members, Woo-cheol and Louie were the best at taking selfies.

Ki-jun’s selfies were honest, and Heung-min tended to leave the photos to Woo-cheol or the staff rather than taking selfies himself.

It was a wise choice.

Gyu-sung used a beauty filter to take selfies, so they sometimes turned out well, but when it was too much, the fans cried.

Thanks to that, Gyu-sung’s fans wondered if Gyu-sung’s phone didn’t have a basic camera app.

And Do-jae…

Honestly, he looked good no matter how he took it.

And he even put in effort.

Compared to the first selfies he took, his recent selfies were at a Jin Ha-ru-level expert level.

“We’re done with the photos… Hyung, are you tired?”

Do-jae changed into his training clothes and answered, “No.”

“I guess.”

This time, Woo-cheol muttered.

He was tired from moving around since early morning, but Woo-cheol, who was more energetic than usual because the excitement of the first overseas performance hadn’t subsided, was not likely to be tired.

Even he was like this, so there was no way Do-jae, who had good stamina, would be tired.

“Then how about doing a mukbang [eating broadcast] on ON TV?”

“Didn’t we… just eat?”

Was eating curry a dream?

When Do-jae asked as if he was really wondering, Woo-cheol said.

“I think the portion was small… and Japanese convenience store bento boxes are supposed to be so delicious.”

“Really?”

Woo-cheol nodded his head greatly at Do-jae’s question.

‘Convenience store bento boxes…’

Honestly, Do-jae had only eaten convenience store bento boxes for the first time after coming to Korea.

Naturally, the taste was disappointing to Do-jae.

‘I’d rather have ramen. Ramen is delicious. Definitely.’

The pork cutlet bento box he had recently was okay, but he didn’t really want to eat convenience store bento boxes unless it was absolutely necessary.

However, the situation was that he couldn’t even dream of seeing Tokyo that Woo-cheol wanted.

As a hyung, he wanted to let him see as many convenience store bento boxes as he wanted.

He was also curious about how delicious they were if they were rumored to be delicious.

“Let’s do that, then.”

“Okay! Great!”

Woo-cheol excitedly hummed and left a message in the members’ group chat.

Woo-cheol [Urgently looking for members to do a live broadcast together in 30 minutes lol The concept is convenience store bento box mukbang lol]

The number next to the message disappeared in an instant, and Louie sent an emoticon.

It was an emoticon of a rabbit jumping around and raising its hand.

Woo-cheol [Okay, come to our room later]

Louie [I’ll wash up and go right away ㄱㄱ [Korean slang for ‘go go’]]

However, the other members didn’t seem to be able to read the message.

The number next to the message remained the same.

They were tired from the car ride and seemed to have fallen asleep.

Woo-cheol, who was looking at the message room, said.

“It looks like we can do it with Louie and the three of us?”

“I guess.”

“Great, great. MobiSam Tokyo Mukbang!”

Woo-cheol said excitedly, as if singing.

Do-jae stared at him.

“You go wash up too.”

“Ah… yes.”

Woo-cheol, who had actually been trying to postpone showering as long as he could, answered, startled.

***

Do-jae, Woo-cheol, and Louie went to the convenience store across from the hotel with Jung Gil-joo.

Unlike people who had eaten just an hour ago, the plastic bag was full of food.

After Jung Gil-joo told them to do well on the broadcast and left.

The three of them fixed their phones on one side and turned on the camera for the live broadcast.

“…”

“…”

There was a period of silence until the fans who received the notification connected to the live broadcast.

The sight of the three people sitting close together and staring blankly at the camera with bento boxes, cup noodles, and sandwiches on the table was quite cute.

It was even more so because they were all bare-faced and dressed comfortably.

Do-jae was wearing a blue hoodie and gray training pants, and Woo-cheol was wearing a black sweatshirt and black shorts.

Louie was dressed in full pajamas.

He seemed to have brought the pajamas he wore at the accommodation, just like when he traveled to the Philippines.

The microfleece pajamas with teddy bears holding hearts, so many that it hurt the eyes, were Louie’s familiar winter pajamas and cherished pajamas to the members.

“I think it’s ready now.”

As soon as Do-jae said that, the number of viewers increased and letters poured into the chat window.

As the fans appeared, Woo-cheol and Louie waved their hands and greeted them.

“We finished our performance, ate dinner, and came to the accommodation. Yes, we’re bare-faced… Yes, I know. We’re handsome. Hehe. Louie, show them your clothes in detail.”

The fans didn’t care about the convenience store bento boxes.

The reaction to the three people’s natural appearance was enormous.

At Woo-cheol’s words, Louie got up and showed off his pajamas.

“These are my favorite pajamas. I brought them especially for my first overseas performance.”

Comments poured in saying he was cute.

At the same time, there were many questions about where the other members were.

It was something that happened every time they turned on ON TV live separately instead of as a group.

Woo-cheol skillfully replied that the hyungs were sleeping.

“I think everyone is tired and sleeping. I’ll come with them next time.”

Do-jae, who was quietly watching the fans’ chat content, moved a little more to the center.

It was because there were complaints that Do-jae’s face was not visible properly.

After roughly greeting them, the members began to eat the food they had bought as originally intended.

They didn’t forget to show the food with their palms behind it, like MyTubers [YouTube content creators].

“The ramen might get soggy, so I’ll eat this first quickly.”

Woo-cheol, who said that, began to eat the ramen he had poured hot water into.

Louie closely captured Woo-cheol’s slurping on the camera.

“You could film a ramen commercial, hyung!”

At Louie’s words, Woo-cheol worked even harder with his chopsticks.

There were a few comments that seemed to be teasing him that he would be confessing with ramen instead of chicken.

“Wow! This completely melts in my mouth! Hyungs, try it!”

Louie, who had tasted the egg sandwich, exclaimed and held out the sandwich to Do-jae and Woo-cheol.

Do-jae, who was opening the pudding lid, took a big bite of the sandwich.

Of course, it was the part that Louie hadn’t put his mouth on yet.

But in the past, he wouldn’t have even imagined sharing food.

‘Even my family didn’t mix food with each other.’

However, the members shared 24 hours a day.

Now this level of ‘sharing’ was very familiar.

“How is it? Is it delicious?!”

“Yeah. It’s soft. It’s very soft.”

When Do-jae said, looking at the camera, comments poured in saying he was handsome.

Fans flocked to say that they would eat even a sandwich model, not a real sandwich, if they were with Do-jae.

In the quiet atmosphere, the three tasted various foods.

As a result, there wasn’t much conversation.

It was becoming a real mukbang because the food tasted quite good.

Of course, the fans liked it, saying they were full just by looking at their faces.

Comments poured in saying it was ‘honey-jam’ [Korean slang for very fun/enjoyable].

But it meant that even if you put honey on it, it was still no fun.

Woo-cheol thought that Do-jae hyung should have been wearing a shower gown.

Of course, it was okay to save it for some time in the future…

Woo-cheol said, putting down the spoon he was eating pudding with.

“I took a picture of Do-jae hyung earlier, would you like to see it together?”

The fans were naturally clamoring to see it quickly.

Do-jae froze for a moment, but it was a picture that was good enough to be posted on Tweety [Twitter] anyway.

Do-jae ate the pudding and let Woo-cheol bring his phone close to the camera.

“Tada! Here it is. Do-jae hyung who just came out of the shower! The atmosphere is no joke, right?”

“Wow, that’s amazing!”

It was a picture with an atmosphere that even Louie immediately said was amazing.

Do-jae looked handsome even with wet hair.

His eyes looked even more moist.

On top of that, the subtly revealed smooth…

The reaction in the comment window was about to explode.

It was not a speed that could be read with human eyes.

Exclamations close to swearing burst out, and they clamored to see more.

Woo-cheol showed a meaningful smile and moved on to the next picture.

What appeared this time was not a picture but a video.

“There’s a video here too!”

“You…!”

Do-jae blinked in surprise.

But he soon agreed.

Whether it’s a picture or a video…

However, unlike Do-jae’s thoughts, the reaction was even more enormous.

The fans shed nosebleeds through the LAN line [internet connection] at the sight of Do-jae subtly lowering his gaze and moving.

The reaction was even better because it was not Do-jae himself who took and released it, but another member who released it.

It was because it seemed like a natural appearance rather than an overly blatant fan service.

That’s how the live broadcast caught fire.

Woo-cheol and Louie also shared several pictures of the other members that they had saved.

***

About forty minutes later.

It was when the three were about to wrap up the broadcast.

Knock knock.

Someone was knocking roughly on the door.
