"Are you not paying attention?"

"Hmm."

"Do you really have to ask whether it is a finished copy in a situation like this? Ugh. "He's worse than me, the youngest."

My younger siblings scolded me, but there was nothing I could do about it.

no.

You need to know in advance to decide how to react. Like the last time, it's a finished product, but if I say it would be nice to complete it, I'll be in big trouble.

"... ... ."

Biju's eyes narrowed and she smiled, and in my opinion, it was the scariest type of facial expression among Biju's expressions.

I smiled and blurted out my words.

"Pretend I didn't hear you... ... ."

"no. brother. "I think he might be curious."

"right?"

"I don't think it's appropriate for the current situation."

"... ... ."

Jiho shook his head and said.

"I heard that my younger brother wrote a song. As an older brother, I can't just praise him for doing a good job, so why not ask him something like that?"

"I'm sorry."

Apologize! Apologize! I bowed my head and apologized to my younger siblings.

"sorry. "I have committed a great sin."

My younger siblings burst into laughter when I told them to just shut up and enjoy it.

Is it because I breathed in the beer that evaporated in the air? The younger siblings' facial expressions are pretty and cute.

It was obvious he was drunk.

"ruler. Then let's play it."

"yes!"

As the production crew prepared to play the music, Jiho and Junghyun put their heads together and smiled broadly.

It seemed like he was imitating music broadcast MCs.

"Summer night in the Southern Hemisphere! This is a big rookie who came with a very hot new song~! "You're the New Black's representative dancer, right?"

"yes. Kim Bi-ju's new song has been released. The title is 'Number of Cases.' So, would you like to enjoy it right now?"

"Music go go go~!"

The writers clapped and burst into satisfied laughter at the sight of the idiots getting along so well.

And finally the music started playing.

Tsutsutsutsu, the song started with a drum snare and a soft pop melody decorated the introduction.

"Oh oh... ... ."

In terms of the atmosphere, I would say it has a sweet feeling.

At the same time, it was a melody that calmly went its own way. With Echo in it, it feels a bit like a reminiscence.

Just when I thought I had captured the introduction well, a voice came out.

With goodbye

Our story started

four summers

After four winters

here and now

Bijou's unique voice resonated high.

At the same time, the lyrics of the song continued from the story of their trainee days to the story of how they met each other.

I also draw about our awkward first meeting.

The story of the time they spent together in the practice room, when they finally debuted, and when they held their first concert flowed metaphorically.

A touching refrain was added to the main melody, which was heightened by drums.

do it together

until the death

do it together

until I go to the grave

At that moment, we all burst out laughing and burst into laughter.

We all sat down, sobbing, as the main dancer's sobbing voice asked us to accompany her to the grave.

"Hahahaha!"

I sat down on the ground and laughed so hard that tears came to my eyes.

I laughed so hard at Biju's song, 'Let's go into the tomb together' in a soft voice.

The person in question said with an embarrassed expression.

"I couldn't think of suitable lyrics. I just sing whatever comes to mind... ... ."

"okay. "I need to change the lyrics for that part."

I wiped away my tears and sat down again.

While rubbing my tummy that was tight from laughing so hard, I made eye contact with my younger siblings with moist eyes.

The eyes were not moist with tears from everyone laughing. These are the kind of eyes that become moist after seeing something touching.

"... ... ."

"... ... ."

I probably have a similar face to that too.

I thought I covered up the tears that came out with laughter, but when I looked at my younger siblings' faces, it seemed like I couldn't help it.

The younger brothers sipped beer.

"Hmm."

"Hmm hmm."

The production crew sitting behind the camera cried! While we were laughing, we calmed down our voices.

"yes."

"It was a very beautiful song. Number of cases."

"A little impressed."

We ended our excitement with a small round of applause.

Biju asked, wriggling his hands.

"How was the song? everyone?"

"It was so good."

The level of completion was surprisingly high.

Was it early 2015?

I knew that I had been studying composition in my spare time since then, but I had no idea that I had progressed to this level.

"I didn't know my second son was this good at writing songs."

"It's not like that. I think I was lucky enough to get this song. Producers say that you only get caught once in a while."

"no. "This is not the realm of luck."

"is it so?"

I could feel the delicate touches in various parts of the song.

"huh. "It was so well made."

"Huh... ... ."

"Your composition skills have improved a lot? In that sense, Junghyun and I should participate in the work on Coin."

"ha... ... ."

Everyone burst into laughter at the sight of Biju covering her eyes with an expression of confusion.

Rihyuk, who was sipping beer and hiding his red face, also added his words.

"I was so happy because it felt sincere. I think I know what he wants to say to us... ... ."

"Look at Lee Hyuk's face getting red!"

"I said I was drunk. "I'm drunk."

While the fourth and the youngest, who claimed to be drunk Hongjo, were bickering, Junghyeon thrust his fist at Biju.

While the two of them clashed.

There was a warm air in the air, perhaps because of the song 'Number of Cases' released by Bijou. The production crew is also smiling as if it's cute. It was like we were looking at each other and laughing.

"But Biju."

"yes?"

"This sounds like a fan song."

"ah. that's right. "This is about a meeting, but it wasn't just us who met, but also our managers, producers, and the production crew of our travel diary."

The production crew cheered.

"And the soufflés... I wrote it with the meaning that we came together like this through all the chance encounters. I think it's true that it's a fan song. "Because this song was written for everyone."

I looked at my second child, who was smiling beautifully, and was lost in thought for a moment.

Then he parted his lips.

"Then shall we put this on this album?"

"This?"

"huh. Honestly, I don't think it would be strange at all if I went in as is. "I think it would be good to use it as a concert ending song."

"ah. that's right."

The youngest also agreed.

"It really has that vibe. "It's the kind of song you sing at a concert, waving your hands and saying, 'Goodbye!'"

"It has that kind of atmosphere."

"I liked it that way too."

Biju smiled at our words and opened her mouth.

"If everyone likes it, I like it too."

* * *

Unfortunately, the corner where they talked about each other's feelings ended with the 'number of cases' revealed by Bijou.

Usually, when someone sings the first verse of a comment, the rest respond by saying the second verse, third verse, and so on.

In the song that Bijou released, he did up to the 4th verse all by himself, so it was a bit strange for the rest to comment.

It felt like I was trying to solve a relay story and only one person reached the ending.

"With that in mind, we will skip it!"

"Waaah!"

Biju said urgently.

"no. I also want to hear comments from other members... ."

"Waaaaaa!"

"It's unfair. and. "This is really unfair."

We surrounded Biju and gave a wow at the sight of Biju's helpless appearance with a bewildered expression.

"Is there anything in the world that only ends with me?"

"Here~"

The youngest, who was drinking beer, slapped Biju and said.

"That's because my brother's comment was so touching. Honestly, I don't think we have anything more to add here."

"that's right. "This kind of thing should only be done in verses 1 and 2."

"Still, I heard... ... ."

"Waaaaaa!"

I burst out laughing at the sight of my second child purring his mouth like a sullen sparrow.

Joonghyeon and I put our hands on Biju's shoulders and said.

"ruler. "Let's go see the night sea!"

"Night sea!"

At that time, I left the barbecue party with my younger siblings, humming the lyrics of 'Night Sea'.

The beach is about a 20-minute walk away.

Shootaaaaa-

slam-

It was the beach of Kangaroo Island with gentle waves.

"Wow... ... ."

Under the full moon, the sandy beach sparkles like a star.

There were an enormous number of stars floating above the sky.

"... ... ."

It must have been a very touching moment, as Rihyuk was crying while looking up at the sky with his hand over his mouth.

"It's really beautiful."

It was the same for us too.

Junghyun looked at me with a blank face and then laughed.

"This is what it means to be full of stars."

"The weather today is perfect for stargazing."

Although the weather has been clear ever since I came to Australia, there were a lot of clouds because it was summer.

Today was a clear night sky without a single cloud.

"Wow... ... ."

While the production crew was amazed, we spread out our mats on the sandy beach. Then I lay down on top of it.

A truly starry night.

As the camera lights dimmed slightly, the stars sparkling like jewels were clearly visible.

"When I see things like this, I feel really weird."

Biju said with a dazed face.

"There could be people living on one of those stars. "The aliens living over there will be looking at us and wondering if there are people on that planet too."

"I know."

"Are aliens real?"

While we were talking, the science department intervened in a low voice.

"People can't live on those stars."

"huh?"

"The definition of a star is a celestial body that emits its own light. They say that if it's that bright, it's at least a few thousand degrees. "Most living things would vaporize and disappear in an instant there."

"... ... ."

"If people were to live there, it would be on the invisible planets around those stars. In other words, the probability that there is intelligent life in those stars is close to 0 percent."

While the atmosphere for not only the production crew but also us became tense, Lee Hyuk continued to talk about astronomy.

"Rihyuk hyung."

The youngest said calmly.

"You have to be nice to us."

"why?"

"We're friends because it's us."

"... ... ."

Rihyuk got angry when he heard that other people would pay him to be his friend.

"I have a lot of friends."

"Who is your friend? "Except for Subo Gwon and Namu hyung."

"that... ... ."

"No Teens!"

"Well, then... ... ."

"Senior Cha Woo-hyun can't either."

"... ... ."

As Rihyuk's side disappeared, we burst into laughter.

I said, getting up from the mat while the sound of someone grumbling continued to echo.

"It seems like the wind is slowly getting colder. "Let's go in now."

"yes!"

But there's something about these kids... ... .

"Yeoeoongcha..." ... ."

"Ugh."

"Mmm."

When I wake up, things look strangely strange.

Only Junghyun jumped up, but the rest of the kids held their temples in awe.

I approached Rihyuk, who was staggering around like a helpless praying mantis.

"Rihyuk. what's the matter?"

"uh... "Is it an earthquake?"

"huh?"

"The ground is shaking."

"What are you talking about. "Why is the ground shaking?"

It was when I was saying that.

Jiho, who was running on the white sand beach, stopped suddenly and said.

"uh?"

Surprise began to spread across the youngest child's face, as if he had realized some shocking truth.

"What's wrong with you again?"

"The ground is really shaking!"

"huh?"

"Is this why the Earth rotates? Is this what it feels like to have the Earth spinning?"

I turned to the production crew, but everyone just shrugged their shoulders as if they didn't understand what was going on.

Let's turn our attention to Biju, who looks fine.

"wow. "The ground shakes."

There's something strange about this guy too.

It was when I felt puzzled by my younger siblings suddenly making strange noises.

Whoa whoa.

The sea breeze blew, and a faint smell of alcohol came into the air.

"... ... ."

Only then did I realize what had happened.

Earlier, when Biju's song came on, I sipped my drink out of embarrassment, and while I was drinking coke, they were drinking beer.

Just looking at the amount consumed now, it seems like it would be at least a few cans per person.

"Kyahahahaha!"

Bijou, Jiho, and Rihyuk make the earth spin! wow! Turn around! While holding hands and dancing.

I looked back at Junghyun.

"Junghyun."

"Hehehe."

"Junghyun?"

"Hehehehehehehe."

Junghyun's cheeks are red as he stands tall like a jangseung and laughs.

"Kyahahahahaha!"

"... ... ."

"Ukkkkkkk!"

"... ... ."

ah. It's ruined. this.

however... ... .

"Wow. "Why does the ground spin?"

Is it because of the smell of alcohol coming from the younger brothers' breath?

As I became dazed, the ground began to spin.

As my surroundings spun, an unfamiliar sensation that I had never experienced before took over me. My gaze returned to the bright moonlight.

"uh?"

An image of someone mistreating a rabbit under the full moon.

"grandma... ... ?"

and.

That was my last memory.

* * *

The next morning.

I woke up from my dream with the pain of my head being split in half.

In my dream, it was a scene where leeches stole my ideas while I was composing and composing music and ran away to start the Leech Company.

"Huh... ... ."

My eyes are dazzled by the bright sunlight.

Feeling a burning thirst, I picked up a bottle of water lying around and gulped it down. Only then did I see the inside of the hut covered with blankets.

"what."

I don't remember coming this far.

I don't even remember making the blanket.

"... ... ."

While I was wondering what had happened, my younger siblings, who had been sleeping softly, woke up one by one.

The reactions were generally similar.

At first, I drank the water bottle with trembling hands and thought, "Huh?" I came to my senses.

"brother."

the youngest asked.

"Why are we here?"

"... ... ."

"what? "I was definitely looking at the stars at the beach."

Rihyuk said while massaging his temples.

"First, tell me the last memory that comes to mind."

"The Earth spun."

"Before the Earth started spinning?"

"Looking at the stars... ... ."

"And before that?"

"I drank alcohol."

"... ... ."

"... ... ."

The expression on his face became serious along with that of his younger siblings.

"ah... ... ."

Biju said with a sad face.

"Why did I do that? "This is so unprofessional."

"You really need to reflect on this."

No matter how much you call it a trip, it's still filming for a broadcast. I felt guilty and resentful towards myself for drinking and getting drunk.

Junghyun rolled his eyes and asked.

"We probably didn't make any mistakes."

"You don't know that."

We all struggled together and said, "Uuuuuuuu."

I felt absurd.

"Doesn't everyone know how much they can drink?"

"You have to drink a lot on a regular basis to know how much you can drink."

"You've never been drunk before?"

"yes."

"He always looked at me and said I was weak or weak, and then he drank a few cans and left."

"I started drinking it because of Biju's song... . "If I don't drink it, my face will burn right away."

Since they rarely drink alcohol, it seems like they didn't know how much they could drink.

I told my younger brothers.

"First, let's meet with the producer and apologize if there is any problem. "Because that's where we made a mistake."

"let's go together. brother."

"Let's put on some clothes first. "I also wash my face."

It was time for us to get dressed and leave the cabin.

When the door opened, managers were standing in front of it. Wonseok, Minsu, Jongwan, and Jiwoon.

"Are you awake?"

The managers politely handed me hangover reliever.

"I thought you drank too much yesterday."

"ah. thank you."

"Are you okay?"

"yes."

He answered with a confused face and asked.

"Did we make any mistakes yesterday?"

"... ... ."

The managers shook their heads and laughed.

"no."

"But why the expression?"

"no."

Minsu said as he took the bottle of hangover reliever back from me.

"I am so honored to become the manager of New Black."

"yes?"

"You can go to the cabin over there. "Because the PD said he would wait."

"Oh, yes."

Without knowing why, I approached the hut where PD was located.

In the meantime, I made eye contact with the production crew who were gathering equipment and making various preparations.

We said 'Hello...' with awkward faces. ' When I said hello, the production crew burst out laughing and nodded.

"Good morning our Blacks."

"Oh. yes."

"Let's go filming today as well."

"... ... ."

The youngest asked, swallowing his saliva.

"Didn't we make a huge mistake yesterday? "I think he's encouraging me to be strong."

"Ahhh... ... ."

I wonder what on earth happened.

I kept holding on and asking questions, but everyone just smiled and avoided answering.

smart.

-come in.

As I opened the door and entered, I saw the producer and writers looking at a map inside the cabin.

Everyone burst into laughter as soon as they saw us.

"why... "Why are you smiling?"

"no."

"no... "Really, what happened to us yesterday?"

"it is a secret."

"Please tell us. I'm really begging you... ."

"secret."

When the producer told us to check the broadcast later, we held our heads in pain.

What happened?

* * *

「New Black's Travel Diary Season 2」

The scene of New Black crying in agony and asking for information began to waver, and then the scene shifted to a flashback to the past.

A group of five sitting together under a full moon sky.

He is smiling with his eyes slightly opened.

Universe: I love you.

Joonghyeon: Me too. love you all

Bijou: I love you. Hehehe.

Jiho: I always think my brothers are the best. Hehehehe.

At that time, Rihyuk stood up and stood with the full moon in the background.

Universe: What is it? love.

Junghyun: I don't know what it is, but I love it.

Rihyuk: Everyone, listen carefully.

Rihyuk, with his eyes wide open, made a strange gesture and drew a big heart.

Then, Cupid's heart popped out and said.

Rihyuk: I love you very much.

Members: Lie!

Rihyuk: It's true. Just wait a moment. I really need to read this at least once in this mood.

Rihyuk stumbled and started reading the memo on his phone, saying he had prepared it for this reality show.

Rihyuk: Our beloved members.

Members: They are my beloved members! Huki kick!

Rihyuk: I know I'm not very good at expressing myself!

Members: I know!

The members, who had been chatting about giving and receiving, hugged each other after reading the letters.

Wooju: You really are my world. Each and every one of them is my truly beautiful world.

Biju: Am I a beautiful person?

Junghyun: Oh. The world revolves around money, money... Shall we go eat pork cutlet later?

Rihyuk: Let's go to Namsan. I have never ridden a cable car.

Jiho: That pine tree on top of Namsan ~ It looks like it's wearing iron armor ~ I'm a Daehan person! Wow!

Rihyuk: Look at that. Jiho Wang is drunk~

We love each other while saying gibberish! love you! These were scenes where he revealed his true feelings while doing so.

I sat quietly like that.

Universe: Let's go. To see grandma.

Jiho: Grandmother?

Universe: Yes. I have to go see it in my dreams.

Jiho: If I try hard, will I be able to see my grandmother?

Wooju: It's not easy.

It feels like the smell of alcohol is coming from outside the video.

Let's go dream! While doing this, the members walked toward the cabin like ants moving in a line, and even spread out the blankets.

Then, he came out of the cabin, approached the production crew and managers, and started thanking them, saying that he loved them.

The production team weeping along with the members holding hands one by one and saying what they were thankful for in Season 1 of Travel Diary.

Subtitles were vaguely displayed below it.

[That day, New Black shouted 'love' a total of 492 times..☆]

It was the video that Seo Ri-hyuk wanted to delete the most, and the moment that gave birth to the New Black members' declaration of abstinence from alcohol.
