Chapter 258: A Dating Rumor Only the Person Involved Doesn’t Know About (3)

Originally, they had planned a surprise birthday party.

Jin Sehyun was in charge of the custom cake, Ha Junseo handled the acting, Cha Seongbin was responsible for leading the situation along… they had even finished assigning the rough roles.

But now that things had turned out like this, their plan to prepare a touching surprise birthday party without Do Seohan noticing had completely fallen apart.

So they decided to do it openly instead.

December 4.

Do Seohan Birthday Commemorative Livestream.

The members walked out from behind while singing the birthday song.

“Happy birthday to you~ Happy birthday to you~ Dear…? Do Seohan!”

“Why is there a question mark there?”

“Anyway, happy birthday~!”

“Waaaaaa!”

-ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Cha Seongbin pausing in the middle is hilarious

-Happy birthday to our maknae hamster

-I can’t believe Do Seohan will be an adult in a monthㅠㅠ Just repeat 12th grade forever

-Happy birthday Seohan!!!

Pop—

They set off the party popper that came with the cake and welcomed Seohan with loud cheers.

The last one to appear was Jin Sehyun.

Holding the cake in one hand, he carefully followed the other members.

At the same time, a strange ripple spread through the comment window.

Foreign fans who didn’t know about the controversy were busy typing things like “so cute,” but Korean fans who knew about the Jin Sehyun cake incident from a few days ago were quite confused.

* Huh????

* Wait

* Isn’t that the cake from Jin Sehyun’s dating rumor?

* What the hell why is that here?

* What exactly is going on…

“Happy birthday to our maknae!”

Ha Junseo smiled warmly as he patted Seohan’s shoulder.

Seohan nodded with a reluctant expression and stared blankly at the cake.

There was one thing he couldn’t help but say.

“But the design….”

-ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Even I’m like… yeah… that’s… something

-The quality is good but it’s not Do Seohan’s style

-Wait that’s really Do Hamster’s cake?

-Seohan can’t manage his expressionㅋㅋㅋㅋ

Seohan carefully touched the pink ribbon made of chocolate with his finger.

Then he awkwardly said,

“It’s pretty.”

His words and expression clearly didn’t match.

-Who ordered it? Was it really Jin Sehyun?

-No but what is going on here

-Seohan can’t hide how confused he isㅋㅋㅋㅋ Our Seohan prefers cool things, why would they give him a cake like thatㅋㅋㅋ

-Was this a teasing cake for Do Seohan…?

“AHAHAHAHA!”

“Looks like the fans are confused too.”

While Seo Haim laughed uncontrollably, Cha Seongbin checked the comments and bit his lower lip.

He was trying hard not to laugh, but it didn’t last long.

“Pfft.”

Meanwhile, Seohan kept blinking as he stared at the cake.

Originally, he planned to react moderately in front of the fans and use the moment to clear up Jin Sehyun’s misunderstanding.

But after seeing it in person—

He was genuinely shocked.

A cute teddy bear chocolate was staring straight up at him.

A sigh slipped out of his mouth.

“What.”

“No, how did this happen?”

“Well….”

Seo Ian scratched his head and spoke.

If they had to pinpoint the exact reason this situation happened…

“We all prepared it together.”

-The fact that everyone agreed on that design is even more shocking

-That’s basically a proposal cake aesthetic

-ㅋㅋㅋㅋ Seo Ian’s ears are turning red, this soft rabbitㅠㅠ

Immediately, Seo Ian pushed the responsibility onto Jin Sehyun.

“We asked Sehyun to place the order.”

“So basically everything was Jin Sehyun’s fault~.”

“No, that’s not true. I’m innocent here….”

-The most unbelievable part is Jin Sehyun choosing that design. Maybe if it were Tofu Ian

-Even if lightning struck Jin Sehyun he wouldn’t pick that design

-Did his hand slip and click it by mistake?

-It really looks like they tried to tease Do Seohan and this happened

“It wasn’t a teasing cake! Don’t misunderstand.”

In the first place, the quality was too good to be a teasing cake.

Jin Sehyun eventually began calmly explaining the situation.

“This was during our comeback period, so we were really busy. So I just asked them to make a popular design since it was for a friend’s birthday… but somewhere in that process there must have been a misunderstanding….”

“The message wasn’t written by Sehyun~.”

“That’s the part I’m most wronged about.”

“Wow, ‘Thank you for being born ♥’… so touching.”

“I told you I didn’t write that!”

-Jin Sehyun looks genuinely wrongedㅋㅋㅋㅋ He’s in denial that he wrote that message to Do Seohan

-Ahㅠㅠ Why is even preparing a birthday cake so cute Sehyunㅠㅠ

-The shop probably assumed it was for a girlfriend when a guy ordered a custom cake for a friend

-So everyone believes this explanationㅋㅋ

-Wow that cake shop has great quality, I want to order from them

-The message alone is pure romanceㅋㅋㅋㅋ

Occasionally a few argumentative comments appeared, but they were quickly buried under the flood of real-time comments.

Kang Siwoo smiled and lightly tapped Seohan’s shoulder.

“Anyway, please blow out the candles first. The wax is dripping.”

“Ah.”

Fwoo—

Seohan blew out the candles and clapped.

“Wow…!”

“Happy birthday, Do Seohan!”

“You’re becoming an adult soon? I can’t believe it.”

They set the delicious-looking strawberry cake aside for the moment.

“Seohan, don’t you want your present?”

“Huh?”

It wouldn’t be a birthday party if it ended here.

“What? You actually prepared something?”

“Of course.”

“It’s not something weird, right…?”

“Hey, what do you think we are~.”

-What do you mean what do we think? Exactly what we’ve seen

-Ahㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Think about all the times you’ve teased Do Hamster

-Wait it’s actually a real gift

Ha Junseo, who had been hiding something behind the door earlier, walked forward while humming.

At the same time, Seohan’s eyes widened.

“This is the newest game console that the members prepared as your gift.”

“…A Nintendo?”

Seohan had been expecting gifts like hay bundles or sunflower seeds.

His shoulders trembled slightly.

Even though he tried not to show it, his eyes sparkled brightly.

-Ahㅋㅋㅋㅋ Do Hamster’s mouth corners are going upㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-The hyungs tease him so much he still doesn’t fully believe itㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-He keeps checking if it’s real

“Is this really real?”

“Open it.”

“Daebak….”

He couldn’t hide his excitement.

Rustle rustle.

As he unwrapped the gift, his back looked unusually cheerful.

Ha Junseo smiled warmly and said,

“Are you going to show us Do Seohan’s Animal Crossing?”

“I actually don’t know exactly what kind of game that is.”

“You just need to buy a house first.”

A full-scale healing game about owning your own home.

Seohan nodded with a smile.

Jin Sehyun added,

“And pay off the loan.”

“…What?”

“That’s the kind of game it is.”

Is that right?

[Today’s Jin Sehyun Dating Rumor Turned Out to Be a Happening]

All those secret account users who were roasting Jin Sehyun for getting a girlfriendㅋㅋㅋㅋ

I believe Dusties wouldn’t fall for that

If you don’t trust the members that much just leave the fandom~

+Summary for those who don’t know

A sasaeng suspected a secret relationship because Jin Sehyun ordered a pink-themed cake. Tons of people piled on accusations trying to bury him.

But it turned out to be Do Seohan’s birthday cakeㅋㅋ

Since it was during comeback season he asked the shop to design it themselves, but they misunderstood “friend (girlfriend)” and made that design.

-Seriously our Sehyun is such a cautious person. People were attacking him before anything even came outㅋㅋㅋㅋ I was so angry

└Exactly. Where else can you find an idol who understands fans this wellㅠㅠ

└I don’t think Jin Sehyun will never date in his life, but I believe he’s not the type to get caught like that

└222222

└I trust our Victorious Sehyun!!

-Wow people actually believe that stupid explanation?ㅋㅋㅋㅋ It’s obviously a lie

└???

└Poor Seohanㅠㅠ He basically got Jin Sehyun’s girlfriend’s leftover cakeㅠㅠ The maknae is working hard to clean up his hyung’s scandalㅠㅠ

└What nonsense is thatㅋㅋㅋㅋ

└The forced accusations are insane….

-The leaked cake photo was cropped at the top. If you look at the full cake from the livestream it literally has Do Seohan’s birthday date written on it. December 4ㅋㅋㅋㅋ The shop owner even uploaded it on Stargram todayㅋㅋ This is fake?

└So Jin Sehyun’s secret girlfriend’s birthday is also December 4??

└Actually it turns out Do Hamster is Jin Sehyun’s girlfriend

└So Do Seohan was Jin Sehyun’s girlfriend all along….

└ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

└Wait am I the only one realizing this now

└Do Seohan: ???

People tend to believe only the things they want to believe.

As usual, there were still a few “well maybe not” type comments, but fortunately the heated controversy quickly died down.

Compared to ridiculous gossip attacking the members, the end-of-year content Doubles kept releasing was far more enjoyable.

Christmas was approaching.

In a season where it somehow felt right to listen to carols on the morning commute, a new self-content video appeared to warm people’s chilly hearts.

[Santa, Please Take Care of Rudolph! Episode 1]

It was a Christmas special self-content.

—

In the preview teaser, Kang Siwoo held a paper card with a serious expression.

“Phew….”

It was an outdoor shoot in weather cold enough to freeze his hands.

Wearing a thick parka, he slowly read the mission card.

[Three Santas and four Rudolphs live in Santa Village.]

[The Santas and Rudolphs worked in delivery services in the peaceful Santa Village.]

[But one day, an emergency occurred in Santa Village.]

[The Rudolphs declared a collective strike.]

Christmas was approaching.

It was the busiest season for Santa.

Even with support from the logistics center, it wouldn’t be enough—but the hardworking Rudolphs had disappeared.

Santa Kang Siwoo checked the crooked handwriting on the note and frowned.

[Rudolph: I ran away. I’m not working.]

[Rudolph: Yesterday’s snack tasted bad.]

“Is this for real?”

At the bottom of the mission card, the task he had to complete was written clearly.

[You are Santa.]

[Capture the runaway Rudolphs.]
