Chapter 66

a/n: hello hello~ i have two questions ( •⌄• ू )✧

1) Does anyone have raws or better translations than daotranslate for chapters past 200? Dao makes no sense, and Readhive only has up to chapter 200 :,)

2) Someone was asking if I would do a hot hundred...are you guys interested? it wouldn't make it part of the main plot since chapter 100 is still only their like first year of debut so the romance is still only just starting, and I'll prob age them up in it. I've never written it before but it seems fun bahaha

ps) I'm gonna just spoil yall with 10 chapters HAHA. assuming that school has ended for most of yall, congrats on ending the year! think of it as a summer gift

[ Park Moondae's POV ]

The instance where I was hit by a water bottle went viral.

[ Testar, 'Magical Boy' with water-soaked dreams ]

[ The power of a prepared star. Crisis refined into a performance ]

The reporters, as expected, wrote about the drama that went down during our showcase.

- What kind of crazy idiot throws a water bottle at debuting idols?

- They were aiming for his face. If Seungmin didn't pull him away, he would have been hit on his face...

- Please tell me they were caught and taken away

Of course, there were the enraged comments and there were the impressed comments.

- I'm glad Moondae handled it well, really.

- It's amazing that he passed it off so naturally. The others too. They immediately took off their jackets to play along

- Moondae's skills are no joke

Videos of me being hit and responding to it were trending everywhere.

Ironically, thanks to the incident that was meant to humiliate me, TeSTAR was a buzz.

I read through all the articles and comments quietly.

"Still, Moodae's achievement is the real star of this after-party."

I was pulled into the conversation I wasn't paying attention to. I turned to look at Keun Sejin, who was sitting on the sofa across from where I was sitting.

"T-that's right."

"...Yes, thank you," I muttered.

"He's embarrassed!"

I stayed silent as the guys continued to say how my wit was the best in the world.

"What Seungmin hyung did was also amazing," Kim Raebin said after the topic of me died down. "You were able to detect an issue right away and protect Moondae hyung."

"Yeah, that was so cool!"

"How did you respond so quickly?"

I also turned to Seungmin curiously. I didn't even see the water bottle until it was on the floor.

"...I have good eyes," the boy smiled. He continued to busily type something on his phone before putting it away.

He slumped against my shoulder. 

"I'm just glad that you're okay. And I'll make sure that never happens again."

"That's right, let's continue to take care of each other," the leader smiled, wrapping up our short after-party in the living room. "You all worked hard, so let's take a rest."
