The accommodation where all of Debonaire had woken up.
─Wow, everyone looks so pretty first thing in the morning!
─Not a single flaw, none at all.
Amidst the reactions of the studio panelists.
[Naeun: You guys, drink this first. It's healthy and delicious~]
The members each held a glass of kiwi (containing a large amount of kale) juice and sat on the living room sofa with their legs stretched out.
[Dohui: Ugh, why are you leaning on me so heavily again. Do you like me that much?]
[Chiyo: Hmm... so-so? Not bad? Not bad?]
[Dohui: Why do I feel kinda bad about this.]
[Chiyo: It is because our youngest likes Chiyo more, hoho.]
Seoyun clapped twice amid all this, focusing the members' attention.
[Seoyun: Everyone, now that we've woken up in the morning, what is it that we should do?]
─We've gotta eat breakfast, breakfast.
─Yeah, we all work to put food on the table, after all.
─I wonder what Debonaire will eat for breakfast!
To Seoyun's question, Dohui, as if she had caught on very quickly, snapped her fingers with a crack!
[Dohui: Correct answer! Just like always, turn on the TV and watch the news!]
[Seoyun: ...Yes, that's right! (finger gun, pew pew) As expected of these cultured rascals, hahaha! Miss Ua, could you turn on the TV with the remote~?]
At that scene, another violent reaction burst out in the studio.
─Seoyun's answer was a little late, wasn't it?
─Ah, these kids are way too conscious of the camera!
Of course, the excuses that followed from Dohui and Seoyun.
─No, we really do skits like this all the time! Right, Dohui?
─Not me, but the unnies, maybe a little?
─Hey, you started it.
Whether that was true or not, the members inside the accommodation on screen continued the bit.
[Ua: See. What channel? 6? 7?]
[Seoyun: (wagging her index finger) No? At this time of day, there's only! one news channel that we always watch, isn't there?]
[Ua: Ah! Eleven~]
─Look at this, look at this, channel 11! They're blatantly angling for MBS to appear!
─And this is, coincidentally, really just by chance... right, Dohui?
─Wow, exactly. We really didn't, didn't think of this! Wow, daebak.
─Look at how shameless they are!!
And finally, channel 11 MBS came on the TV screen.
[Chiyo: ...What is a lawful wife?]
[Seoyun: (reading the room)...]
[Dohui: Shall we try channel 6...?]
[Ua: (shaking her head) We're channel 11 people.]
Meanwhile, leader Naeun showed a tear-jerking sense of loyalty, opening her mouth to cover for her rascally younger siblings and clapping exaggeratedly.
[Naeun: Ah, right, right! We like this drama so~ much! Right? Right, guys? Guys...?]
* * *
Before they knew it, the members had ended up continuing to watch the morning drama.
[Seoyun: Why does the lawful wife have a secret lover... while the husband is working hard at the company...]
[Chiyo: What to do... the husband is pitiful...]
[Ua: It's a drama.]
[Seoyun: Ugh, it's annoying... It's so annoying I can't watch.]
[Dohui: Yeah, let's eat. Give me food.]
[Naeun: What should we eat?]
─Seoyun is the type to get completely immersed in dramas, huh~
─Yes, yes. I had a feeling.
[Seoyun: Wh-what...? She's having an affair with her husband's younger brother, but it turns out that brother was adopted, and it turns out he was even the younger brother that the lawful wife lost in the past...?]
[Chiyo: Oh my... in this world...]
─But Chiyo... she's Japanese, right?
─Yes, she's Japanese.
─But strangely, she speaks Korean better than natives?
─...She watches a lot of those dramas.
True to its nature as a makjang drama watched by housewives, the storyline was rather shocking.
[Dohui: Unnie, you said you were annoyed! Let's eat, food.]
[Seoyun: Wait, wait, right now is important. The lines. I can't hear the lines.]
[Chiyo: Shh...! The lawful wife is on the verge of being caught by her husband right now...!]
Leaving the two inevitably immersed in the drama, the remaining members contemplated breakfast.
[Dohui: Let's just order in.]
Eventually, she turned on the delivery app.
[Dohui: What? Delivery fee is 6,000 won? Wow... I might as well just eat a salad.]
And with Dohui recoiling at the price, breakfast was concluded.
[Naeun: Really? Then let's eat salmon salad together with unnie.]
[Dohui: No, that's not what I—.]
* * *
The manager and members finally began to appear in one frame.
[Yu Yeongho: Ahem... did everyone eat breakfast?]
Inside the car, moving for the daytime schedule.
[Seoyun: What is it~ Manager-nim, your tone is weird today!]
[Dohui: What are you talking about, our Debonaire manager-nim is just his usual gentle modern boy self, right?]
[Chiyo: Ahem... did ya eat mornin'...? Pfft.]
[Naeun: Guys, how could you tease the manager like that! He's even dressed up so~ handsomely! Uh!]
[Ua: Yes, I ate salmon salad.]
The members' playfulness was all directed at the manager.
─They're definitely all very close with the manager, that's for sure~
[Q: The members all look very playful.]
[Yu Yeongho: Ah, yes, but in reality they are very quiet and listen well.]
[Yu Yeongho: ...Shall we go quietly? You must all be tired, you should sleep.]
[Dohui: We're on a broadcast, how can we sleep~]
[Q: Is it true that in reality they are very quiet and listen well?]
[Yu Yeongho: Haha... I'm just kidding...?]
But contrary to the manager's defense, the inside of the car only grew louder and louder.
[Dohui: Now, today's topic is milk shake.]
[Seoyun: So suddenly?]
[Yu Yeongho: You said you ate salad for breakfast, right? Then one milk shake should be fine. Let's drink it later.]
[Dohui: Oh, I was suddenly craving it, how did you know?]
[Q: Do you know all the members' tastes as well?]
[Yu Yeongho: Of course. In Dohui's case, she likes liquid fructose more than meals, so she looks for sweet drinks a lot and...]
The reason it had grown noisy was simple.
It was because, to the low RPM beat that started playing out of nowhere,
the members were randomly blurting out lyrics to the given topic "milk shake".
[Dohui: Milk shake. Meal swag. Rich shape. How's that? Not bad, right?]
[Chiyo: Oh... it has a story of its own. I give you 9 points.]
[Seoyun: Ah, she was definitely thinking ahead since she said milk shake.]
[Ua: Let me try. A unique mixtape in my ears, a sweet milk shake in my mouth. A heart shake of my pounding heart right now.]
[Naeun: Wow~ Ua is good too~]
[Chiyo: Hoo... as expected, I give 9 points. (Strict)]
[Dohui: Don't just evaluate, you do it too, unnie.]
And sure enough, the studio of the panelists who had been reacting also quickly became boisterous.
─Wow, amazing~ do idols all play around like this?
─Is this real? Is it fake?
─Guys, can we believe this? They've been messing around since morning!
An atmosphere split between half wonder, half doubt.
This time, Dohui answered with a serious nod.
─But this is something we do quite a lot among ourselves normally, with a bit more sincerity than just as a concept.
─Oh, really? Why? Is there a reason?
─Ah, since I'm writing songs now, I thought it would be good for the members to write lyrics too, so we're practicing attaching lyrics when given a topic. So if a good line comes out, I jot it down in my lyrics notebook too.
And as if to prove that wasn't a lie, right then on screen, Dohui pulled out a notebook and was writing by hand.
─Ah, now that I think about it, Dohui composes, right?
─I heard she even wrote and produced this title track herself.
And with that as the starting point, song promotion began slightly.
─Yes, not all of them, but one of the two double title tracks.
─Just show us the point choreography!
The studio filled the screen, and Seoyun and Dohui stepped forward.
The two showed the stage for the chorus part.
─Wow, the song is really good! Dohui wrote this?
─The dance is wow... really cool.
Naturally, the panelists gave favorable reviews while trying to follow the dance.
Of course, that was a direction written in the script, but since both the song and dance were good no matter who looked at them, the reactions were clearly overflowing with sincerity.
─This is definitely going to be a mega-hit!
─Wow, amazing!
Leaving the studio again, this time to the car on screen.
[Yu Yeongho: Kids, we're here.]
Having finally arrived at their destination, the members began to unbuckle their seatbelts one by one.
And simultaneously, the car seatbelt warning alarm sounded.
[Dohui: ...Huh?]
Amidst this, Dohui stopped getting out of the car and stood blankly in the doorway, blocking it.
[Seoyun: Why? Ah, she's playing around again...]
[Dohui: Shhh...!]
She then perked up her ears and began listening carefully to that warning sound.
As if inspiration had struck.
[Seoyun: Did she really come up with something...?]
[Chiyo: Indeed. (whispering)]
Though they wondered if it wasn't a joke, the members and manager, despite having spent a combined 35 years with Dohui, still couldn't bring themselves to disturb her.
[Seoyun: Since she wrote the title track this time, it's kinda confusing... Ah, but her expression is a hundred percent a joke.]
[Ua: I'm confused too...]
Especially since Dohui was someone with perfect pitch who would usually match the scale of everyday sounds.
In fact, it was quite possible that Dohui had recalled some musical inspiration from the car warning sound alone.
[Dohui: Ah!]
And Dohui, truly seeming to have received inspiration, raised her notebook and scribbled down some musical scale.
Yes, this was exactly the behind-the-scenes of Dohui's composition that had been spoiled in the preview!
─Wow...
─What did she come up with from a car warning sound...?
They couldn't help but exclaim at that sight.
It wasn't long before the studio panelists poured out questions toward Dohui in an excited tone.
─What is it? What did you come up with!?
─Is it real?
And even at this moment, Dohui in the studio raised her hand as if it were nothing.
But for some reason, Seoyun beside her was sighing.
─Sigh...
Dohui, who had gotten out of the car on screen, put down her composition notebook and made a "Huh?" expression toward the members.
[Dohui: ...It was a joke, why is everyone falling for it? It's not like we've heard car warning sounds once or twice; would inspiration strike? And I'm not that much of a genius. Why are you like this, don't put so much pressure on me.]
