Chapter 259 This is a Slice of Life Part. Probably. (2)

Kang Hajin had a rare moment of deep thought.

No, to be honest, he was always thinking, but this time, he expanded the scale a bit more grandly.

'How can we boost our popularity with an amazing song?'

No matter how he looked at it, the timing was perfect.

Their debut results weren't bad,

The view count on their self-produced content was rising every day,

They had even made a subtle impression on international fans as guests at Utopia's concert,

And with the upcoming year-end stage, it was a perfect opportunity to make a strong follow-up.

Plus, with the weekend primetime TV variety show *Touch High!* airing soon, this comeback was a perfect build-up that would be a slam dunk even if they kicked a baseball with their foot.

'Even though people these days say they don't watch TV, the influence of TV channels still can't be ignored. With so many people watching through OTT platforms, the impact is even greater.'

So if there was ever a moment when Kairos could appeal to the public, that moment was now.

The starting point of this comeback song's planning began right there.

"Ugh... My eyes hurt...."

Taehyun, who had tied back his annoying bangs with a rubber band and put on round glasses he usually didn't wear, came out of his room for the first time in a while to refill his coffee cup.

"...Huh? What are you guys doing there?"

As Taehyun, dressed in a comfortable hoodie and pajama pants, headed to the kitchen, his gaze fell on the living room, and he was met with a strange sight.

Hajin was nervously pacing the living room, biting his fingers as if his feet were on fire, while Doha sat on the living room sofa, hands clasped neatly together, bowing his head as if in prayer.

"Oh! Taehyun hyung. Did you finish studying?"

Dan Haru, who had just come out of the bathroom after washing his hands, spotted Taehyun and ran over with a bright smile.

As Taehyun naturally patted Haru, who clung to him, saying it was so hard to see hyung's face, he responded.

"No, just taking a short break. I'm planning to go over Social Studies one more time today. But why are those guys acting like that?"

"Ah, our song comes out at 6 o'clock. They're nervous."

"...They're nervous, now?"

"It's the first song they're releasing without Seo Taeil sunbae-nim's help. Although other people did help out... Anyway, they're really worried the reaction won't be good since this is a surprise comeback."

"But why aren't they in their room and doing that in the living room, making a mess?"

Haru, still nestled against Taehyun, answered with a look that said, 'Don't you know?'

"Hyung, didn't you knock on their door, saying it was noisy when they moved even a little in the room next to yours...?"

"...Well, yeah, but, you know, they're big guys, so even a little movement makes the room shake...."

"Hyung, when is the college entrance exam over...? Once it's over, will all this really end? When do they announce the results? You're not going to be like this until your practical exam, right? I really want to eat the food Yugeon hyung makes...."
