Before she knew it, she was marveling with her mouth open.

 

A clear and refreshing tone that captivated the audience from the first verse.

 

She knew AIM’s Daehwan was good since he was a member of such a famous group, but this soft pink rice cake was a fresh shock.

 

The roommate’s gaze couldn’t leave Baekya’s face on the screen.

 

“Vocal gangster….”

 

So this was what people meant by a voice that bewitches others. The deep crease between her roommate’s brows grew more pronounced.

 

Having zoned out without realizing it, the roommate, who had paused for a while with the replay button floating, belatedly came to her senses.

 

Because she still had one video left.

 

[Minseong’s Vlog (Dorm, OOTD, Vocal Lesson, Comeback Prep)]

 

The last video uploaded. The date was a week ago.

 

The thumbnail was a rabbit-like man holding a camera in front of a mirror.

 

[Minseong: Naings, hello. This is Minseong-log.]

 

[Minseong: …Is this how you’re supposed to do it?]

 

[Minseong: Haha. It feels a little awkward talking to myself when no one’s here.]

 

Minseong, standing in front of the mirror, laughed sheepishly.

 

[Minseong: This is our dorm. Not my room, but the closet room. Clothes belonging to me, Jihan, and Baekya are hanging here.]

 

[Minseong: This steamer is mine. I ironed everyone’s school uniforms with it for their graduation. All five of them—I practically raised them myself. I feel proud.]

 

[Minseong: And hanging here are the hats and headbands received during the last fan signing event.]

 

The camera panned across the dressing room once.

 

[Minseong: We organized our clothes after moving dorms recently, and there were way more than I expected. There are still clothes piled up in the corner that I haven’t even unwrapped yet.]

 

[Minseong: I ordered a few pieces, and I guess they’re mine. I’ll organize them after I get back from the company.]

 

Minseong’s camera focused on the mirror again.

 

[Minseong: I matched today’s outfit in pink, how is it? Does it suit me? Since I’m going to the practice room, I just dressed comfortably.]

 

[Minseong: It’s already March. The weather has gotten much warmer so wearing just a sweatshirt is enough, but it’s chilly in the evening so I put on a muffler.]

 

Minseong, wearing a pink sweatshirt, a pink muffler, and beige cotton pants, smiled broadly.

 

Below the video, subtitles ‘#OOTD #Today’s Rabbit Look’ appeared.

 

[Minseong: Come to think of it, the sweatshirt is the same color as Baekya’s hair. Del Monte Peach.]

 

[Minseong: Maybe the kids are into pink these days, I see a lot of pink clothes in the dorm. Actually, I don’t even know whose clothes these are… I just wore them.]

 

Minseong said that because clothes got mixed up while moving, they just wore whatever fit them.

 

DASE didn’t really distinguish ownership unless it was truly personal items like phones or wallets.

 

[Minseong: This room is for small clothes. Well, not small exactly.]

 

[Minseong: Anyway, we gathered medium-sized clothes here. There is a separate big room where Yulmu, Cheong, and Yooyeon’s clothes are gathered.]

 

[Minseong: But if you think about it, they’re the ones losing out. I can wear Yulmu’s clothes, but Yulmu can’t wear mine. Huge win for me.]

 

Minseong said he had a vocal lesson scheduled before today’s recording schedule, so he had to go to the company earlier than the members. Arriving at the office building, he headed straight to the vocal room.

 

[Minseong: Hyung, I’m here.]

 

Before starting the lesson, Minseong chatted briefly

 

[Teacher: Did you say the recording is today?]

 

[Minseong: Yes. But the song is harder than I thought….]

 

[Teacher: The notes were indeed high. But isn’t it okay for your level?]

 

[Minseong: Not at all.]

 

[Teacher: Shall we listen once?]

 

[Minseong: Yes, sir.]

 

However, since it was before the comeback, the video skipped straight to the next scene.

 

[Teacher: You’re good. It’s not difficult for you at all.]

 

[Minseong: Is it okay?]

 

[Teacher: It’s not just okay. Go! Go record right away.]

 

Minseong burst into laughter at the teacher’s joke.

 

With the sound of flowing water, the lesson scene sped up to 2× speed. When it returned to normal, Minseong picked up the camera.

 

[Minseong: I’ll do my best.]

 

[Teacher: You’re already good enough. Just do it the way you did in front of me.]

 

Bowing deeply, Minseong left the practice room.

 

[Minseong: I don’t know if you noticed, but DASE is currently preparing hard for a comeback.]

 

[Minseong: I don’t know how much of the song will be revealed, but the song I just sang is a B-side track that will be included in this album.]

 

Taking out his phone briefly to check the time, Minseong continued.

 

[Minseong: Originally, I planned to go straight to the recording studio, but I have a little time left. There’s a café we used to go to a lot when we were trainees, so I think I’ll stop by.]

 

Wearing a mask, Minseong walked out of the building. Since it was a weekday afternoon, only Minseong was on the street.

 

[Minseong: Four lemonades please. To go.]

 

Holding the pager, the rabbit headed to a corner seat.

 

[Minseong: Baekya used to sleep here every day. (Laughs)]

 

[Minseong: Ah, the lemonade here is really delicious. The owner makes it directly without using powder, so sometimes you even bite into lemon seeds.]

 

[Minseong: It’s my favorite drink.]

 

Minseong placed the camera on the table and fidgeted with his bangs.

 

Buzz—.

 

When the pager buzzed, the rabbit got up. Carrying a drink carrier, Minseong returned to the company.

 

[Minseong: Hello.]

 

[Composer: Oh, Minseong is here.]

 

[Minseong: This isn’t much, but I bought them along with mine.]

 

With just one lemonade, the studio atmosphere instantly became harmonious.

 

[Composer: Have you practiced?]

 

[Minseong: Yes. I worked hard.]

 

Thanks to the vocal teacher’s encouragement, he seemed more confident than before.

 

Minseong was now inside the recording booth wearing a headset.

 

Taking a long sip of the drink for the last time, Minseong stepped up close to the microphone.

 

As the accompaniment played, the voice of the member who finished recording first flowed out. When Yooyeon’s part ended, Minseong’s waiting lips parted.

 

[Composer: I think it’s good?]

 

[Minseong: My breathing was a bit….]

 

[Composer: You feel it wasn’t enough? (Laughs) Then I’ll save this one and go again.]

 

[Minseong: Yes, sir.]

 

The recording went smoothly. Coming out of the recording booth, Minseong bowed deeply.

 

[Minseong: Thank you for your hard work~]

 

[Composer: You worked the hardest. Heading back to the dorm?]

 

[Minseong: No. The members are on their way. We have choreography practice at 3.]

 

[Composer: Make sure you eat well.]

 

[Minseong: Yes, sir. Thank you. I’ll get going.]

 

The leader could only leave the studio after bowing about ten times.

 

[Minseong: That wraps up all my personal schedules for today. I’m going to head to the practice room first and wait.]

 

[Minseong: We’re really preparing hard for this comeback. Lately, it feels like I wake up, practice all day, and then go straight back to sleep.]

 

Minseong stared intently at the camera and blinked.

 

[Minseong: Still, thinking about meeting Naings soon, I don’t feel tired at all.]

 

[Minseong: If I have one worry, it’s whether I’ll be able to pull off this concept…….]

 

Thinking of the concept, Minseong bit his lip inward as if troubled.

 

[Minseong: I’m very worried, but I will do my best.]

 

[Minseong: Please let me know later when you see it. Whether I pulled it off well.]

 

Minseong opened the practice room door and entered. Heading straight to the sofa, he blinked slowly, saying he felt like he needed to sleep a bit before the members arrived.

 

[Minseong: I slept too late yesterday playing Mafia game with the members.]

 

[Minseong: We are totally into Mafia game these days, so if we play a lot, I think we do about 10 rounds a day? Of course, I am the best at it.]

 

[Minseong: Everyone. We want to quickly film the music video, release the album, and promote soon.]

 

Fighting off drowsiness, Minseong slowly closed and opened his eyes.

 

[Minseong: We’re preparing really hard, so please wait just a little longer.]

 

Smiling, Minseong waved at the camera, and the vlog ended.

 

Though it was a 14-minute video, it felt like barely a minute. Feeling regretful, the roommate scrolled down to the comments.

 

– Who screamed seeing comeback prep in the title? Me

– Crazy, look at Minseong’s outfit. The standard boyfriend look

  └ Your clothes are my clothes, my clothes are also my clothes lol

– What on earth is the concept that makes our house rabbit tremble? ㅠㅠ Can I look forward to it?

– My heart is already smashed. I knew it since they debuted as princes and hit us in the back with a doll concept.

  └ 222 If Minseong is worried that much, ID must have poured everything I like into this again

  └ Since I know ID is more serious about DASE than I am, I’ll just prepare my bank account

– DASE-log is truly the best content… I wish ID would release this consistently ㅠㅠ

– Isn’t the recording studio part a spoiler?! Is the comeback really soon?

 

‘A comeback?’

 

Her heart reacting to the word ‘comeback’, the roommate quickly moved to the search portal app. Then, she searched ‘DASE Comeback’.

 

[Days’ agency: Preparing an album targeting a June release]

 

Since it was April now, it meant about two months were left until the comeback.

 

Of course, she didn’t look it up because she was particularly interested, she just happened to watch the vlog and got curious since they said they were having a comeback.
