Chapter 64
- If we mix this with whipped cream, won't it just become strawberry cream?
- Let's add it. It's a waste to throw it away.
- This is the full story of how the strawberry cake ended up looking like this! ★
- Eden-ah, aigoo, Eden-ah...
- Whose fault is it? The chopped strawberry Yuje's mistake, or Eden's for insisting on adding it because it was a waste?
- Definitely Yuje's fault for adding it himself!
- What are you talking about? It's Yoon Eden's fault for suggesting we add it in the first place!
- Why are you guys getting so worked up over a lighthearted joke?
- OMG, Kim Dobin's got a Devil Fruit! ㅋㅋ
- Wait, this is surprisingly good!
- It's just a strawberry cake...? It definitely didn't look like one.
- Anyway, we ate it all up!
- This being called "delicious" feels like the biggest scam of 20XX.
- Is this some Truman Show where everyone's in on it but me?
- But wouldn't it have to taste good? It just looks weird, but it's literally just whipped cream and chopped strawberries.
[Animal Transformation!]
[Five Adorable Creatures Hard at Work Decorating the Christmas Tree♥]
- Yuje, it's not like you're settling for a chicken instead of a pheasant, or a flying squirrel instead of a hamster.
- Since when are those heights considered "small animals"?
- I still can't forget when someone asked Eden if his cat pajamas were jaguar-themed...
- Hey guys, spread out the decorations evenly! Why are you dividing it into territories? Is it like species zones/Santa figurine zones/ornament zones/ribbon zones?
[And now... the long-awaited gift reveal TIME!]
[The Eldest Member reveals his gift first]
[- TO. Seo Yehyeon FROM. Yoon Eden. Merry Christmas.]
- A scarf and skincare set? Pretty safe and standard.
I bet my Reve 1st Mini Album that he searched for "gifts for men in their 20s" and picked these out.
└Is there any point in betting?
-Both of those gifts must be pretty expensive. Is this some kind of copyright royalty flex?
Yuje's Gift Box Opened!
-Hajun Hyung! I've been wanting this music box so badly! How did you know?!
-Yuje is so touched.
-Seeing Dobin's proud smile, I bet he gave Hajun a hint, or maybe Hajun asked him to feel Yuje out.
-I heard that music box alone costs over 50,000 won, and the earphones are over 100,000 won.
What's inside Dobin's gift box?
-Holy crap, it's money!
-Wow, even putting cash in the wallet? That's insane attention to detail.
-As expected, good looks and a great mind.
-Why is he bowing so deeply? LOL It suddenly feels like a holiday!
- He likes money more than wallets, lol.
- Isn't that tumbler from Starbucks' seasonal collection? ㅋㅋ
- That mood lamp is 10% off on Kakao Gift, I wonder if Dobin paid full price or got the discount.
- Even combined, it's less than 50,000 won. Where did he stash the rest of the money?
└ Ugh, you're so creepy, calculating all that.
└ He probably spent it on something else.
└ No, the Hyungs went way over the 50,000 won allowance, but he got gifts worth hundreds of thousands of won and didn't even use the full 50,000 won allowance? That's just infuriating. 😠
└ If you want to beat up a minor for spending less money than an adult, you need serious help.
- He prepared everything so thoughtfully within the budget. Stop picking on him for no reason! Ugh!
Eden's Gift Box: Shocking Reveal!
- Yuje Dream
- Why aren't you reading the preceding modifier, "The World's Cutest"?
- Because he's not cute.
- Look at Eden's unwavering resolve, lololol
- Eden's health-conscious gift is truly thoughtful, lololol. Vitamins, supplements, and now an anion bracelet? What's next? lololol
- Jaehee, isn't that snapback exactly your style? Hehe
└ But the piercing seems well-chosen. It would look great on Eden.
- Did he spend exactly 50,000 won here?
- I'm dying of laughter, lololol. A filial piety gift for Parents' Day? lololol
- What's so funny? I'm just pissed. Ryu Jaehee and Kim Dobin got expensive gifts without spending a dime of their own money, while the Peer Group had to spend their own money and ended up with trash they wouldn't even accept if offered? Seriously, the anion bracelet isn't even funny.
└Seo Yehyeon and the Peer Group must have felt so relieved when they saw the gifts, knowing Yoon Eden had chosen them.
└Here come the mentally unstable trolls trying to start drama again.
└Stop showing your anti-fan colors here! Crawl back to your private accounts and play there.
-Are you all happy with your gifts?
-Yes, I'm satisfied.
-The kids all loved their gifts! Time for the complainers to disband!
└Of course they'd say they're satisfied in front of the cameras.
-Ah, this is why I was so uneasy when they said personal expenses were allowed. I wish the production team had set a limit, like 50,000 won.
-Now the maknaes are getting all the blame for nothing.
[Music video shoot wraps up smoothly]
[Q. How was today?]
[Yehyeon: It was fun! Decorating the tree was the most memorable part. Maybe because it was my first time doing that at 21.]
Eden: The cake... I realized baking is definitely not for me. But it was fun seeing the gifts everyone prepared for each other.
Hajun: It was even more enjoyable because we were all together.
Yuje: Knowing we were preparing a surprise gift for our fans made the whole shoot feel exciting. Or at least, that's how I felt.
Dobin: Hearing "Merry Christmas" so many times makes it feel like Christmas already, even though it's still weeks away. Oh, right! This is airing on Christmas Day. Everyone, it's really Christmas!
- We really loved the Christmas surprise gifts, guys! ㅠㅠ
- This week's episode was so much fun! I wish they'd film and show us the recording sessions every time!
- I was disappointed they didn't release the making-of footage for "All Right Or Night," but they finally showed it all today!
- If those troublemakers hadn't rained on our parade, we would have enjoyed this to the very end.
- Yoon Eden and Gyeon Hajun probably just stashed those gifts away or threw them out.
└ Stop obsessing over the gifts already.
└ No, I'm not. https://twxxxer.com/LnL_reve/status/975447812 Check this out and then talk.

- They're really putting those gifts to good use!
- Yuje's gift was so thoughtful! The snapback and piercing suit Eden perfectly.
- Merry Christmas to Reve and all the Ilmongs!
With the S Company Music Daejeon and reality show filming safely behind us, the year-end festivities were fast approaching.
K Company's Gayo Festival had secured not only Reve's performance but also a collaboration with Adora and a feature on What Kind of Ending.
Since we would dance the first verse, Adora the second, and only the final chorus together, we only needed about three joint practice sessions.
"Wow, thanks to you, Dobin, I get to wear this in the dead of winter," I muttered darkly, tugging at my suspenders.
Shorts and knee-high socks in this weather? The irony was compounded by the fluffy ivory-colored knit sweater I was wearing.
"Could you at least say you're getting to perform on this collaboration stage because of me...?" Kim Dobin replied timidly, shivering under a blanket wrapped tightly around his legs.
Seo Yehyeon, who had been covering his eyes with his arm, lowered it after a scolding from the stylist and squeezed his eyes shut instead. He said weakly, "I don't care about anything else, but we absolutely can't wear these short shorts as stage outfits... Maybe 5-부 운동복 shorts would be okay..."
"But some fans might want to see you in shorts for a refreshing concept," the stylist pointed out.
"No way... They'd probably take a step back if they actually saw us like this."
With the concept of "pure and lively" and stage outfits tailored to Adora's style, we had no choice.
The sight of these strapping guys, averaging 179.2 cm tall, in cutesy knee-high socks and short shorts was simply mortifying.
If only the shorts were 5-부 length, as Seo Yehyeon suggested, it wouldn't be so horrifying.
And if Ryu Jaehee, currently dragging down our average height, hits a growth spurt, our average height will jump to 181.2 cm.
The shorts fashion remained elusive. Everyone seemed aware of the "visual terrorism" and discreetly covered their bare legs with blankets.
"The collaboration stage video will probably be uploaded to YouTube today..."
"Yeah, probably."
"If we report it like crazy, will they take it down?"
"This guy has no ambition. He should be thinking about how to get more views and attract even one more fan, not reporting it. Reporting? What's that even supposed to mean?"
Do you even understand the agony of having to please 30 million fans? Huh?
"Just get used to the outfit first, Hyung. It's not so bad after looking at it for a while."
Damn you, Seo Yehyeon. You actually made me defend this outfit with my own mouth. With everyone staring at me like I was crazy, I buried my face in my phone and used the time to search for Weekly Quests.
In the past, I used to just search for "Reve" or "Yoon Eden" on social media or the internet to kill the minimum 10 minutes of search time. But now, I was actively monitoring trends and browsing community forums, making the most of my search time.
With the Silver Disc and Naon Chart voting open, the Rookie Award buzz was at its peak. These awards were considered more prestigious than WAMA, making the competition even fiercer.
- Why are KICKS fans so bitter?
└ They're still salty about Reve snatching the Inmu #1 spot during their comeback.
- Why should they get all the attention? OMG, even when we tried to strategize with Rival Picks, we got unfairly targeted and trashed. We deserve more!
- One WAMA performance where our boys just clapped from the Artist Seats is enough humiliation. Let's focus all our voting power on Silver Disc and Naon Chart!
KICKS was currently leading by a narrow margin in the Silver Disc Rookie Award and Naon Chart Rookie Award voting.
Although Reve had surpassed KICKS in YouTube music video views, album sales, and digital music charts, the difference wasn't dramatic enough to explain their trailing in the voting. This discrepancy left a lingering unease.
But what can I do? It's not like I can rig the votes.
If the Yoon Eden of the past, who had never even dreamed of winning a Rookie Award and was instead consumed by worries about an uncertain future, could see me now, anxiously watching the vote count fluctuate by mere thousands, what would he think?
The only reason I harbor even the slightest lingering attachment to the Rookie Award is because our rival is KICKS. If they weren't in the picture, I wouldn't care at all. I've never coveted the Rookie Award before.
Before the regression, the Rookie Award felt like a distant dream to Reve. During the voting period, they were more concerned about the group's survival than winning any awards.
And for good reason. Not only were they making a comeback with a terrible song, but the January comeback lineup was so dazzling that they saw no path to success.
In my memory, Reve's December seven years ago was miserably gloomy. But this December, they were so frantically busy that they didn't even have time to wallow in sentimentality.
Gyeon Hajun's tap on my shoulder snapped me out of my reverie, and I headed toward the stage.
Everyone was desperately trying not to look below the waist, heads held stiffly high.
"Let's skip the fighting cheer. If we clasp hands, we'll end up staring at their bare legs."
Even Ryu Jaehee, who always led the group cheers, shook his head and hands simultaneously.
And so, with heads held stiffly high, we ascended the stage.
