This was Kairos’s dorm.

After dropping a major spoiler during the live broadcast, Kang Hajin and Dan Haru, who had returned in a daze, being dragged by Jung Siwoo, were now…

“Hold your hands up properly.”

…standing with their hands up as punishment.

No one had really ordered them to do it. As soon as they entered the dorm, the two had voluntarily crawled on all fours to a corner of the living room and raised their hands. This was their way of reflecting on their actions after whispering to each other in the car for a long time, trying to avoid the consequences of ‘a salad without meat’ and ‘bean rice for dinner.’

The only reason it continued was because Taehyun, upon seeing them, had simply nodded and told them to stay like that.

‘No, I’m still his hyung, so why am I listening to him so well? I’m the leader of this group, and I wasn’t even the one who spoiled things…’

It had already been five minutes.
Feeling dissatisfied with the situation, Kang Hajin suddenly raised his head and protested to Seo Taehyun.

“Hey, with this much sincerity, you could at least let it slide…”

Seo Taehyun quietly held up his phone screen. It was a screenshot of the management and PR teams’ group chat, which had gone into a frenzy because of the spoilers the two had dropped.

“You were invited to the staff group chat…?”

“Hyung Wook sent me the screenshot. But, is that really the point right now…?”

“…Dan Haru, raise your hands higher. It’s your fault.”

“I honestly thought the article had already been released…”

As Kang Hajin, who had nothing else to say, grumbled and nudged Dan Haru, Haru mumbled in protest, feeling wronged.

When Haru, who had been muttering about how the article was supposed to come out at 6 PM, trailed off, Lee Yugeon, who was coming out of the kitchen holding a pot of freshly cooked stew, revealed the truth.

“The article is supposed to come out at 6 PM.”

“……”

“Tomorrow at 6 PM, which is the problem.”

“…Ugh.”

After hearing Yugeon’s words, Dan Haru let out a deep sigh, his expression growing more complicated, and raised his hands even higher.

Seeing this, Taehyun, who still found the whole situation ridiculous, started scolding them again.

“I mean, of all things! You just had to wait one more day! You couldn’t hold back and ended up spoiling it!?”

“That’s right… I should have just waited…”

“…Not you! Conceptual Haru!”

When Dan Haru used a wordplay attack on his name, Taehyun nearly burst out laughing and tried hard to keep his emotions in check. Haru, who genuinely thought he just needed to wait a bit longer, muttered “Ah, I see…” and lowered his head again.
Yugeon, who couldn’t bear to watch anymore, chimed in as he brought out some side dishes.

“If Dan Haru had just waited one more day…”

“…Hyung?”

Hearing such a ridiculous joke, Joo Eunchan, who had been following Yugeon with chopsticks in hand, looked at him with a face full of betrayal. Yugeon just winked at him as if telling him to stay quiet.
