(Baekya’s high school graduation photo.jpg)

 

High school grad photo is out. Case closed.

 

===========================

 

– His eye shape is completely different, stop defending him

 

– He definitely got surgery.

  └ So what? Even before surgery, he looks better than your face.

 

– You can tell just by looking that the prescription in those glasses is super high. Those are the kind of glasses that would downgrade even the most handsome guy on earth.

 

– I was wondering when the past photos would drop lol.

 

– If you take off the glasses, he looks exactly the same as now? Congrats on graduating, our Peach♡.

 

– Everyone leaving hate comments here should go look at their own grad photos first ^^.

 

– First it was the terrible BonoBono, now it’s the terrible glasses…

 

– Is he graduating this year too? Or is it middle school graduation?

 

February. It was graduation season.

 

DASE, with an average age of 19.666, consisted of five students and one adult.

 

Among them, three members were graduating this month: Jihan, Yulmu, and Baekya.

 

“I’m glad the dates don’t overlap.”

 

The night before Baekya’s graduation. Minseong was ironing a school uniform in the living room.

 

“Hyung, I can do that myself.”

 

“I just want to do it for you. Besides, the leader is supposed to do things like this.”

 

Things like Ironing uniforms?

 

Baekya was momentarily speechless because he said it as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

 

“I’m going to do Yulmu’s and Jihan’s too, you know.”

 

Minseong, the eldest in the team, said he had often ironed the members’ uniforms during their trainee days.

 

“Our leader’s ironing skills are number one in Korea~”

 

Yulmu said, bringing out his and Jihan’s uniforms.

 

“Boss, I’ll leave it in your hands then.”

 

“Ah, yes. Just leave it to me.”

 

They went back and forth, engaging in a short comedy skit.

 

‘Last time, my sister ironed it for my graduation.’

 

Baekya thought once again that a lot had changed. He went to bed thinking that he was probably the only person who would have two high school graduation ceremonies.

 

And the next morning.

 

Baekya set off early with Namkyung to make it to school on time. As they got closer to the school, something intense caught his eye even from a distance.

 

“…What is that?”

 

Something strange was hanging over the school gate.

 

[CONGRATS★Geumyong Boys’ High School Star Birth DASE Han Baekya★CONGRATS]

 

Namkyung burst out laughing at the banner, which was even flashier than the standard graduation banner hanging below it.

 

“Puhaha! What is that?!”

 

Namkyung kept snapping pictures with his phone camera, saying he had never seen a school hang something like that before.

 

Reporters began gathering after recognizing the car that had stopped in front of the gate. Before long, the vehicle Baekya was in was surrounded by cameras.

 

“You get out first. While you’re being photographed, I’ll park and come right back.”

 

“Do I… really have to take photos?”

 

“You’re not asking that seriously, are you?”

 

Namkyung’s expression suddenly turned dead serious.

 

Baekya laughed awkwardly, saying it was a joke, and quickly grabbed his coat. As soon as he opened the door, the sound of shutters erupted from all sides.

 

– Mr. Baekya, look over here please!

– Let me take a picture!

– Baekya, congrats on graduating! I love you!

 

There seemed to be quite a number of hommas mixed in with the reporters.

 

But for a fresh peach who had only been debuted for just over a month, this atmosphere was still unfamiliar. Baekya, who almost closed the door again instinctively, quickly regained his composure.

 

“H-hello!”

 

Greeting them as he stepped out of the car, Baekya quickly slipped his arms into his coat against the biting wind. The hood of his brown duffle coat fluttered and briefly covered his head.

 

– Aack! He’s so freaking cute!!!

 

When a scream rang out amidst the rapidly pouring shutter sounds, a startled Baekya opened his eyes wide. The moment he made eye contact with the homma who had screamed—

 

Chrararararack!

 

Her shutter clicked with an incredible continuous sound.

 

– Baekya, just one biting heart, please!

 

This time, someone else shouted from a different direction.

 

In that instant, the status window appeared.

 

[A new quest (Hidden) has arrived!]

[Q. The Nerd Who Became an Idol: Let’s shake the hearts of the public with your transformed appearance! 0/200]

 

A hidden quest appeared after a long time. As expected, the quest name was weird.

 

‘Why am I even a nerd in the first place!’

 

The moment Baekya hesitated, the request came again. The same desperate voice asking for a bite-heart.

 

Baekya decided to press <Accept> for now.

 

‘If I have to do it anyway, might as well get some Star Points.’

 

“Y-yes!”

 

Baekya quickly made a small circle with his hands.

 

As time passed and the crowd grew, Baekya was surrounded by cameras on one half and the general public on the other.

 

He was completely surrounded.

 

Ang.

 

The moment he bit the heart, screams erupted from all around.

 

[84/200]

 

The number went up rapidly.

 

When he bit the heart one more time because someone on the other side requested it—

 

Ang.

 

[161/200]

 

It doubled in no time.

 

‘This is kind of fun…?’

 

He felt like he could complete the quest right here if he did it just one more time.

 

‘I’ve already done it twice, what’s one more.’

 

Baekya turned around and opened his mouth wide to make the third heart. But in that instant, he made eye contact with familiar faces.

 

‘……!’

 

It was Jaehyun and Yookyung.

 

“Hey, Kim Yookyung. Is that the Baekya I know?”

 

“Kyaaaa! Baekya oppa~ you’re so cute~”

 

The heart machine suffered an overload due to the unannounced appearance of his best friends. Thus, the third heart came out a bit lopsided.

 

Fail.

 

– Baekya’s friends are hilarious lol. They keep making Baekya do the biting heart lol. Thank you sob (Video)

  └ Where is the source of this?

  └ It’s for his friend’s Insta 

 

– DASE #Yulmu #Jihan Graduation HQ (Uniform photo.jpg)

 

– Geumyong High graduation banner class (Banner.jpg)

  └ I heard they haven’t taken that down yet lol.

 

– A photo taken with Baekya was uploaded on the Gold Dragon school board.

  └ Gold Dragon = Geumyong Principal.

  └ Geumyong High’s best output lol.

 

– It’s so good to see the kids taking care of each other’s graduations ㅠㅠ Congrats on graduating, guys♡.

 

– Baekya + Duffle Coat + Biting Heart = Paradise (Graduation Baekya.jpg)

[ISSUE] Is the DASE reality show filming for real? (Updating)

 

Upvotes 560 / Downvotes 57 (+309)

 

There were rumors for a bit that the kids were filming a reality show after ‘No Games’ promotions ended, and seeing the sightings keep popping up, it must be true!

 

Organized in order by comparing the upload dates (might be wrong):

 

1. Yongin Amusement Park
2. Yangpyeong Campsite
3. Yongsan DGV (Minseong/Baekya/Jihan)
4. Hanam Mall Sports Center (Yulmu/Yooyeon/Cheong)
5. ID Building In-house Cafe
6. Paju English Village (New!)

 

– I saw idols today. I’m a Neverland part-timer, and on my way back to the dorm after work, some boys were standing in front of cameras. I was curious so I sneaked over pretending to be staff, and wow, they were freaking handsome. Looked like they were filming something in the haunted house, the screaming was a bit pitiful.

 

– Saw celebrities at the amusement park today! Totally handsome but I don’t know their names ㅠㅠ Are they rookies?

 

– There was a really pale, small person crouching on the floor at Neverland, I almost kidnapped him.. I think his friend called him “Pillow?” Why were you doing that, Mr. Cutie ㅠㅠ.

 

– Filming some variety show at Yangpyeong Campsite. Seemed like rookie idols, they came to our tent to borrow kimchi so we gave them some lol. Freaking handsome even to a man. And tall too.

 

– Idols came here and the women in my house are in an uproar lol. I was curious what celebrities looked like in real life, but seeing them in person, they’re just another level.. just a different species from us #YangpyeongCampsite (Campsite.jpg).

 

– Today someone bailed on the closing shift so I came out to sub, and holy crap thank you world. First time in my life breaking the ‘no-luck-for-fan’ curse so quickly ㅠㅠ.

Honestly, there were zero customers today so I was just snacking on popcorn, then suddenly a halo started shining from afar.

My eyes were so dazzled that I looked up. And there was a 2D character standing in front of me. Oh, what is this? Did I fall asleep standing up? Did I faint? I was imagining everything when the drawing called me, “Excuse me.”

I’ve been CGV staff for 3 years but it’s my first time seeing a celebrity so please understand my excitement. No, but would you guys be sane if your bias suddenly appeared in front of you? Dammit ㅠㅠ.

Anyway, my baby came to watch Harry Potter and asked if there were seats ㅠ Of course there are ㅠㅠㅠ Our babies bought chili hot dogs, nachos, and coke ㅠㅠ DGV thank you, I am loyal (DASE signature.jpg).

 

– I broke up with my blind date 10 minutes after meeting him. Reason below.

  └ Today was our first meeting, and he suddenly wanted to go to a sports center. For the record, I hate sweating. I suggested just going to a cafe to talk, but he insisted on going there.

Said he wanted to give me a “special first meeting” or whatever. Eventually went. As soon as we entered, he put on like a helmet? and I was honestly so annoyed (continued).

  └ So I was thinking about ditching the date and going home, when something fell on my head. I was so mad, thinking “What the hell,” so I picked it up and it was a sponge-like microphone cover.

I looked up with an attitude, and what do you know? An angel was looking down at me, saying sorry. Annoyance? Anger? None of that. It all vanished the moment I saw his face (continued).

  └ My head was just filled with thoughts on how to return this to the angel, when Angel 2 appeared from behind. He asked if I was hurt, said sorry, and told me if I gave it to him, he’d give it to the member, and smiled while apologizing again.

Holy crap, what is that face; what is that frame??? First time I realized tan skin could be that sexy. Ah, so what happened to the blind date? Like I give a damn ^^.

  └ (Update) I thought about how he mentioned ‘member’, so I searched just in case and it seems like DASE hohoho♡ Angel 1 seems to be Yooyeon-nim and Angel 2 seems to be Yulmu-nim~.

 

– My friend works at ID and apparently the kids are doing a one-day part-time gig at the in-house cafe today.. I’m so freaking jealous.. Why am I not an ID employee ㅠㅠ.

 

– Peach Iced Tea made by 100% Sweetness Peach #Demont #PeachFlavorRestaurant (Takeout cup.jpg).

 

– Iced Ameri-Choco made by the company’s maknae… I’m pretty sure I ordered an Iced Americano, Cheong-nim ㅠ.

 

– Barista Min-nim’s coffee is the best! (Actually it would taste great even if he just poured plain water).

 

– Idols came to the English Village to film something. But they all look the same so I have no idea who is who. Are they twins? Staff called one of them ‘Peach-nim’.. There are a lot of unique idol stage names these days.

 

– This is a private coffee-truck support site I visited today. It was a Paju music video shoot. I got a sudden call from an acquaintance and rushed over:)

As expected, Iced Americano, the No.1 popular menu, was requested the most. Coffee King made it with lots of sincerity.

The singers were so handsome too! (Their clothes were the same so at first I thought the same person was coming multiple times lol) The music video looks like it’ll be really cool! I’ll cheer for you until the comeback day~ Fighting!

 

===========================

 

– Twins? Holy crap, what kind of concept is it?!

  └ Same clothes? Is it a school uniform?

 

– Cr-cr-cr-crazy, DASE reality show.

 

– Wasn’t the Neverland sighting on the day of the ‘No Games’ last broadcast? Did the kids go straight to filming a reality show after the music show ended???

 

– Freaking love this sh*t ㅠㅠㅠㅠ ID is finally doing some work.

 

– The blind date person has officially stanned~.

 

– MV filming! Kyaa DASE is having a comeback!!!!

 

– If it’s Paju, is it the English Village? Medieval concept again?

 

– Coffee made by the kids.. Past me, what were you doing not getting a job at ID…

 

– Is Baekya called Peach even at the company lol. Ah, I want to take a bite because he’s so cute.

 

– I have lots of kimchi too, guys..! My mom’s kimchi is delicious!!!!

 

– Neverland haunted house lol. Ah, I want to see it soon.

 

– The reality show hasn’t been officially announced yet, right?

 

– If they filmed the MV, the kids will be out soon! Give me my softie boys quickly.
