VLIVE (5/15)

May 15th 2017

Hyunwoo continued to make different expressions at the camera without saying anything yet, reading the comments as the viewers arrived. He made a smile and waved to them in greeting.

"Hey everyone," he whispered, aiming his soft voice towards the microphone. "welcome to the v live."

Comments rolled down the screen, wondering why he was speaking so soft and what was happening in general. Chen appeared next to him, sitting down on the couch with a sigh. They stared at the comments for a few seconds, Chen beginning, "Why are you whispering?"

"Gosh, Chen, you ruined the concept." Hyunwoo said at a normal volume, sighing and falling into the couch. He aimed the camera at himself, fixing a strand of hair as if the camera was a mirror.

A few minutes past, the viewers asking a lot of questions. Only a few of the simple ones got answers, such as how they were doing and whether they'd eaten yet. Quite a few comments asked about Music Trophy, while others asked about the other members.

A noise came from the nearby door, Kaito entering the dorm and slipping his shoes off. "Hey guys." he greeted plainly. Chen pointed towards the camera that Hyunwoo was still holding, deciding to use his time wisely and continue making various expressions until the other members would arrive.

"Hyung's late, quite unexpected." Hyunwoo commented sarcastically, making a smile as he looked up at the taller that approached.

"I've never been late to a v live," Kaito said, plopping down into the padded couch and hitting Hyunwoo's arm in playful response in the process.

"Well sorry you've been waiting, the three of us are going to run this v live since Taeyang hyung and Alex hyung are busy at the moment." Chen said, acknowledging the questions asking where the two rappers were. "Both of them are busy doing song writing stuff."

"Song writing, pfft!" Kaito snickered, making both of the younger members look towards him. While Hyunwoo seemed genuinely curious of what Kaito was going to say next, Chen's gleeful persona for the v live suddenly became serious. Kaito continued jokingly, "If what 5UN's out doing is-"

"Shut up." Chen interrupted suddenly, sternly staring directly into the older's eyes. Kaito immediately stopped speaking, blinking a few times before clearing his throat with a slightly stuttered apology. "S...sorry,"

Hyunwoo quickly picked up the talk with the viewers. "So like Chen said earlier, the others can't be here at the moment and so we'll be just talking with you all about the comeback music video for some fun information if you're interested. Um, we'll just talk about it I guess? Feel free to ask us questions!"

Whether it was the lag of the livestream or simply the audience ignoring Hyunwoo's invitation of questions to reveal information about the upcoming music video, the chat didn't seem to address the main topic of the v live at all.

A majority of the comments were confused by Chen's sudden authority over his hyung who was almost five years older than him, while some personally theorized what Kaito would have said if he had continued. One particular comment caught Hyunwoo's attention, it asking, "Did you guys kick 5UN out?"

Kaito and Chen didn't seem to notice it, but the awkward silence was making it difficult to ignore the spam of questions regarding Chen cutting Kaito off. Hyunwoo scrolled back up the chat, physically pointing towards the question. Kaito glanced towards Chen, the younger making a very subtle shrug and letting the older answer the question.

"Oh, uh, answering one of your questions, 5UN isn't kicked out of the dorm. That's just some theory someone made online." Kaito said, making a smile before he continued, "We're all good here." He made two thumbs-up with his hands, awkwardly letting the silence sit as the comments continued.

"Oh my God, you're so awkward," Hyunwoo laughed, letting himself fall into Kaito's lap and aiming the camera up at the older.

Chen laughed a little Kaito replying, "This angle is also disgusting, here."

He took the camera, holding it instead. "So, what can we spoil about the comeback?"

"I've got one!" Hyunwoo cheered, sitting up. He took a moment for effect. "We're in it."

"Nooo," Chen groaned, sinking into the couch more. "Why do you do this, Hyung?"

Quite a while had passed since the start of the livestream, or at least the amount of time it took for the camera to run somewhat low on battery and be plugged in. The v live had become progressively more relaxed, Hyunwoo laying on his back and looking at the camera upside-down while Chen continued to read through the live comments, Kaito doing the same with a lollipop in his mouth.

"Oh! F.O.X sunbaenim's birthday!" Kaito suddenly exclaimed, reminding the two others of the important event. "That's right, that's this Thursday."

Chen nodded, Hyunwoo adding, "We're probably doing the usual birthday celebration stuff that we do for him every year. Nevertheless, he's... 29 this year, right?"

"Ah, don't out him like that," Kaito laughed, suddenly getting Chen's attention at his choice of words. Kaito noticed the the new attention he was getting from the younger, making a somewhat apologetic expression when he turned away from the camera. "But yeah."

"Oh," Hyunwoo said, reading a comment and answering their question, "Yeah, most of us attended a few of his birthday celebrations. He celebrates it on the actual day, kinda like foreign people, but goes by his Korean age since he's here."

"You didn't go to last year's, did you?" Kaito asked Chen, the younger shaking his head.

"Kinda excited since you make it sound so interesting." Chen smiled.

"We'll v live this Thursday too, so maybe we'll get F.O.X sunbaenim here too. Tune into that in case we can." Hyunwoo said, smiling gleefully.

"Oh, and you know who else's birthday is coming up?" he asked. Chen made a knowing smile, while Kaito asked back in a sarcastically shocked manner, "Who?"

"Me!" Hyunwoo squeaked, pointing towards himself making a cheeky smile. "May 21st, one day before the comeback - be there or be square!"
