Chapter 105 Ideal Type?

All the members of 7IN and the Yeonguijeong-Nauri couple sat in front of the camera, and the live broadcast began. Since the live broadcast was being conducted by themselves without a filming staff, Hyun Siwoo personally pressed the record button and then returned to his seat.

"Hello!"

Already, hundreds of thousands of viewers had gathered for the live broadcast. Most of the viewers were fans of 7IN, but some had also tuned in after hearing that Yeonguijeong was doing a live broadcast.

Despite limiting the number of chats to prevent a flood of messages, the chat window became almost unreadable as soon as the broadcast started.

[Guys!!!] [ㅠㅠㅠThe server almost crashed, but I finally got in] [Today's visuals are on fire] [Yeonguijeong unnieee] [Why is Uncle Nauri there? Lol] [Why is everyone so cute even in hoodiesㅠㅠ] [Gunja, your hairstyle is so pretty] [When are you going to spill the friendship tea? Excited!]
Gunja, who was usually not very good at reading live broadcast chats, was even more nervous today due to the overwhelming response.

Although he couldn't read every single message, he didn't want to miss anything important.

Determined to keep up with the chat, Gunja had brought his prescription glasses for the occasion. Seeing him nervously squinting through his glasses, the fans began to worry about him first.

[But why does Gunja look so tenseㅠㅠ] [The glasses are so pretty though] [God Glasses! God Glasses!] [But you usually don't wear glasses during live broadcasts, right?] [Are you feeling unwell?ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ] [Did you overpractice and strain your eyes?ㅠㅠㅠ] [No way]
"Hyung, are you okay? Why are you so nervous?"

"Yeah. Are you really feeling alright?"

Following the viewers, even his fellow members started worrying about Gunja. Realizing he had made them unnecessarily concerned, Gunja took off his glasses and clasped his hands together in a gesture of apology.

"I'm not sick; it's just that the chat is more active than usual today."

"Huh?"

"Because I didn't want to miss any of the fans' words, I was focusing really hard..."

Hearing Gunja's soft confession, his fellow members let out sighs of admiration, and the fans were equally touched.

[ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠToo sweetㅠㅠㅠㅠ] [Everyone, slow down your chat speed] [If you want Gunja's eyes to pop out, then type faster;] [Slow down, okay? One message per minute] [But Gunja, can you put the God Glasses back on?] [Agreed]
Thanks to the fans, who were as kind and considerate as Gunja, the chat slowed down enough that he could read it comfortably.

Now, he thinks he can read all the messages even without the glasses!

Gunja, who looked visibly more relaxed, was about to put the glasses back into their case when he was taken aback by an unexpected uproar.

[What? What? What????] [Put the glasses back on!!!!] [Today, you have to wear the glasses, Gunja, pleaseㅠㅠㅠ] [If you don't wear the glasses, we'll speed up the chat] [No, really] [Quickly put the glasses back on, young master] [Recruiting members for God Glasses Fan Club (1/??)] [Pleaseㅠㅠㅠㅠ]
"Ah, okay. I'll put them on."

Only after Gunja hurriedly opened the case and put on the glasses did the clamoring for the glasses subside. Finally, the live broadcast could proceed as planned.

Actually, there wasn't much preparation required. Since it was mealtime, they each grabbed one of the Jeju Island specialty lunchboxes that the Yeonguijeong-Nauri couple had brought and started a mukbang.

The food was so delicious that the chopsticks moved quickly. Ki Yuchan and Ha Hyunjae, who were minors, ate especially heartily and neatly, earning a lot of praise from fans who were eating along with them.

[Wow, octopus cold noodlesㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠLooks amazing] [Yuchan, you're eating too deliciouslyㅠㅠ] [Wow, I love the tangy flavor] [I was just eating instant ramen alone at home, but now I don't feel lonely] [Yeonguijeong unnie, how much for that lunchbox?] [Thank you, unnie, for taking care of our kidsㅠㅠㅠㅠ] [How can you cook so well too?] [Truly the perfect bride...]
When someone commented about Yeonguijeong being the perfect bride, Nauri quietly raised both arms to make an 'X' sign.

The chat was immediately filled with question marks, but Nauri pointed back and forth between the lunchbox and himself, explaining, "I made this." The fans finally understood.

[Aah...] [Uncle Nauri, you're good at more than just playing the guitar] [Thank you, Uncleㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ] [Don't call him Uncle, call him Oppa today;;;] [Good at composing, good at playing guitar, good at cooking] [You need this level of charm to marry Yeonguijeong, I guess] [Wow] [Our oppa is full of charm ㅋㅋㅋ] [Now, spill the tea] [Yeah, how did you become so close ㅋㅋㅋㅋ] [Never expected this twist, no one saw it coming] [I bet everyone had the same reaction during the live broadcastㅋㅋㅋ]
At the fans' request, the mukbang naturally shifted into a chat session. Many fans were curious about how 7IN and the Yeonguijeong-Nauri couple became so close.

The first to speak was Yeonguijeong.

"Was it around early summer? I secretly went to Tamla Land with my husband. But on the Hallabong Express, we heard some strange 'thump-thump' sounds, so we went to check it out, and guess what..."

Yeonguijeong began recounting the moment she first met Gunja, telling the fans the story like a fairy tale.

She shared the story of how she and Nauri sat in awe watching Gunja and Soulless Jang battle in a soul rap duel, and how, when Gunja finally won and was taking a break, Yeonguijeong and Nauri approached him first and struck up a conversation.

Of course, the half-day spent at Yeonguijeong's house couldn't be left out. When the story reached that part, the members excitedly reminisced about the moment.

"It was really, really healing."

"...Y-yeah. I, I even caught crayfish with Woongie hyung..."

"I heard that freshwater crayfish can't be made into lobster! So we released them!"

"Ha-ha, thinking about it makes me laugh again. Who would cook lobster with freshwater crayfish?"

"Oh? Ji hyun-su, you cried when you heard Nauri sunbae's guitar."

"Hey, we shouldn't talk about that!"

"Ha-ha, Hyun-su had so much snot~"

"I've heard of having lots of tears, but having lots of snot, what's that?"

The behind-the-scenes story, which had never been revealed on the main show, was a thrilling scoop for the fans.

[Isn't this neglecting the VJ's duty?] [Why didn't you film that super fun moment?ㅠㅠㅠ] [Even if it was secretly, you could have followed them secretly...] [Ah, it's nice to hear this as a story] [Next time, bring a self-cam and record itㅠㅠㅠ] [By the way, it's amazing that idols can casually visit female celebrities' houses and it's not a big dealㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ] [Yeahㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ] [Seriously, thinking about it again, you must be a perfect partner] [Yeonguijeong, thank you to our uncle] [Why is Nauri-oppa 'uncle', but you're a bad kid] [Gunja, share your story tooㅠㅠㅠ] [Gunja, what did you like the most?]

Gunja smiled as he recalled the enjoyable memories. Even though he had just eaten, he soon started to salivate at the thought of the deer meat stew they had on the porch.

"I really liked the deer meat stew."

"Ah, right! The deer meat stew was really the best."

"...I, I also liked it a lot. It reminded me of my grandmother..."

"Ah, at nineteen... I realized the taste of valley deer meat stew too early..."

"Ha-ha, guys. But are you okay? We may be aunties and uncles, but you're new idols."

But it was an unnecessary concern.

From the moment of the showcase's Yu-du feast, 7IN's fans had already grasped the group's concept and direction.

As a result, both the members and the fans were becoming more laid-back.

[Yeonguijeong, no need to worry~~] [Valley deer meat stew, isn't it bliss?~] [If you don't know that taste, what have you been doing, Water Park?] [Wow, that's deep] [Hahaha] [What's the deep thing, what did you do?] [These days, 'beverage plants' are the perfect match...] [Stop it, you crazy guysㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ]

Nauri seemed to enjoy the fans' dad jokes and even applauded and laughed heartily. In high spirits, Nauri took a guitar out of its case.

"Since we're here, how about we have a jam session after a long time?"

"Yes! That sounds great!"

Gunja, also happy about the jam session, brightly smiled and quickly went to get the pipa. Soon, an impromptu jam session with guitar and pipa began.

Listening to the strangely mismatched yet strangely well-blended sounds of the two instruments, both the members and the viewers closed their eyes.

As Nauri, who had been perfectly syncing with Gunja's performance, took the lead with the melody, it became the main melody of the ballad song "Dreaming Flower" from 7IN's first album.

As it was a song never released in an acoustic version before, fans were inevitably delighted. Even in the mini album, which was mainly composed of strong beat songs, fans who liked quiet and emotional songs often picked "Dreaming Flower" as their favorite.

To be able to hear such a song in an acoustic version, with Nauri's guitar accompaniment.

In the surprise gift of a live broadcast, the fans were overjoyed.

[Ha-ha-ha, so good] [Please do a few more songsㅠㅠㅠ] [Can I record it for personal use?] [Will the video be uploaded on the Solarsystem YouTube?] [Please release "Dreaming Flower" in acoustic versionㅠㅠㅠ]

Pleased with the enthusiastic responses, Nauri played three more songs. They even improvised an acoustic version of a show song and changed one of Yeung-ui Jeong's old hit numbers to a guitar version, singing it with the members.

After the high-quality room concert ended, the free question time began.

As many questions poured in for the members, Yeung-ui Jeong became the guest MC and selected the questions.

"There are so many interesting questions~ Oh, this one is good!"

"What's the question?"

"What are each of your ideal types?"

"I, ideal type?"

Hyun-su and Hyeon-jae glanced anxiously at Team Leader Seo Eun-woo. However, Team Leader Seo Eun-woo just watched them calmly, indicating that there was no problem.

It wasn't talking about romantic experiences, and ideal types were not a big deal. It seemed more awkward to be overly cautious here.

Of course, there was always the variable of Yu Gun-ja, but at least when it came to matters of the opposite sex, it didn't seem like Gun-ja would make any problematic statements.

Thus, the members began to talk about their ideal types one by one.

"I like someone who eats well and treats me to meals!"

"That's quite a solid ideal type."

"Oh, but I would like to go to the gym together!"

"...I, I like someone who is good to their family..."

"That's quite mature for a high school student's ideal type."

"...But family is important..."

"That's true."

"I like someone who loves me a lot. For example... like you guys?"

As each person shared their ideal type, Gun-ja was deep in thought, resting his chin on his hand.

Ideal type, ideal type. He've never really thought about it.

What kind of person would he find attractive?

He doesn't have a particular physical ideal type. But he'd like someone who has many things to learn from.

Someone he can respect from the heart, someone with greater virtue than him.

Thinking about it, he feels like he somewhat understand what his ideal type might be.

"So, what would Gun-ja's ideal type be?"

"I..."

Team Leader Seo Eun-woo also perked up his ears for Gun-ja's answer. Even Seo Eun-woo was curious about Gun-ja's ideal type.

Certainly a woman who likes classical books, or someone who draws well...

"Six Virtues."

"?"

"A woman who has the Six Virtues."

"!"

With the unexpected answer, coffee spilled from Team Leader Seo Eun-woo's mouth like a fountain.
