Chapter 9
After blowing out the candles on the cake Minhun had brought, the two chatted for a while and then looked surprised when they heard it was time for a surprise game. Both Yoon Jin and Minhun seemed accustomed to acting according to the scripted situation.
“So I roll the dice to move my piece, and if I fail the mission at the square I land on, I have to move back the same number of spaces, right?”
“But what do we get if we win?”
“Hmm… honor? Joy? Oh, fans are suggesting that they’ll grant a wish for the winner, how about that?”
“Sure, why not.”
Yoon Jin, who had decided to ignore the camera and focus only on his conversation with Minhun, was now more comfortable with the broadcast. This comfort stemmed from having a goal in the form of a game, and from knowing that Minhun would take care of entertaining the fans.
“Then the birthday boy should roll the dice first.”
“I’ll do that.”
Yoon Jin matched Minhun’s tone, which sounded like they were in a role-play, and threw the dice. Yoon Jin found it a bit fascinating to see Minhun, who usually appeared so young, now comfortably joking around while hosting. He wondered if he would have been like that too if he had been an idol from the beginning, but it was a future he would never know.
He rolled a 6, moved the blue flag forward, and removed the sticker to reveal the mission written underneath.
“Choose only one member you like the most and say you love them. All answers like ‘everyone,’ ‘the fans,’ or ‘the manager’ are prohibited. Must choose from Minhun, Junyoung, K, or Domin…?”
“Oh, was this game board specifically designed to be difficult for you, hyung?”
Minhun laughed out loud when Yoon Jin confirmed it was, and exclamations poured out in the chat window. This was a question that Yoon Jin had never properly answered in seven years. It was a question that ‘Yoon Jin,’ who was in the mother position, couldn’t possibly answer, always deflecting with responses like he loved everyone or the fans were the best.
[It looks like our Jin Mommy is about to fail the mission right from the start…]
[Why did they prepare such a difficult game for the birthday boy? But I’m really curious about the answer…]
[If all the missions are like this, isn’t Jin Mommy going to be stuck at the starting point? lolololol]
But for the current Yoon Jin, it was a trivial question, despite the effort to narrow down the answer choices. With the intent of moving the broadcast along quickly, he grabbed Minhun’s shoulder, who was chatting with the fans, to get his attention.
“Choi Minhun.”
He had only seen Junyoung briefly since he was in the military, and he hadn’t even met the other two yet. It was such an obvious and easy answer. ‘William’ probably wouldn’t have been able to answer this question properly, but that wasn’t Yoon Jin’s concern.
“I love you the most.”
“…”
Besides, Yoon Jin wasn’t in the habit of losing. Finding himself in a familiar competitive situation, he relaxed completely and smiled brightly.
‘I’ve gambled away so much money in my time.’
Minhun’s face suddenly flushed as Yoon Jin looked at him with a gentle smile. When Yoon Jin extended his hand to pass the dice, Minhun startled and backed away.
“It’s your turn.”
“Huh? Huh?”
“Now you have to go.”
“Uh… uh, I love you too…”
“No, I mean it’s your turn to roll the dice.”
Didn’t ‘William’ often tell the members he loved them? It was a reaction that raised such a question. Yoon Jin looked at Minhun with brief confusion as he buried his face between his knees. Looking at how embarrassed he got from just those words of love, he was still such a kid.
‘If I win, maybe I’ll wish for him to wear pajamas too.’
Just as Yoon Jin was thinking about how to somehow neutralize his own outfit that he was still unhappy with, uninvited guests appeared in the chat window.
[Hyung!!! Why Choi Minhun?!]
[Hyung!! What about me?!?!? What about me!!!]
It was Kim Kwon and Domin, who had just finished their work in Japan. And so, Yoon Jin’s birthday W-Live, which had started awkwardly, became a feast of fan content.

From today, the word “cuteness” will be called Jin. No complaints will be accepted.
===
─ Is there anyone with complaints?
└ Bang, any others?
─ Our Jin Mommy was kidnapped by the Defense Ministry and returned as Jin Baby. Damn, I almost thanked the Defense Ministry.
└ I really hate to admit it… but I agree…
└ Our baby didn’t go to the military, he went to kindergarten
└ Seriously, what’s with all this cuteness today?? Giving us two years’ worth of content at once??
─ I almost went crazy watching the W-Live… Jin…
└ The driest W-Live in 7 years…
└ The scientific consensus is that this wasn’t Jin’s birthday party, it was Give’s birthday party…
─ How can a 27-year-old man?? Huh?? Suddenly?? Huh?? Is it okay to become this cute??? Huh??? Our leader who used to exude maturity while taking care of his baby siblings?? Suddenly?? Like this??? Why?? Am I crazy?? Am I dying??? I’m dying from happiness???
└ Calm down lolololol
└ I can’t calm down
└ Actually, me neither
─ Jin’s W-Live style has always been kind of peaceful? Like a broadcast of nice words and pretty talk, which wasn’t my taste, but today’s live was legendary among Sparkle W-Lives
└ Agreed
└ Did you really need to mention it wasn’t your taste here…?
└ Jin’s lives have always been gentle and pretty speech that even other fans like as healing videos, no fighting please
─ When the live started, something seemed off so I was worried he might still be feeling unwell… but he was just uncomfortable with the camera… I wondered if our oppa liked dolls before? But he was just nervous and forgot he was holding the doll^^ Can a person change this suddenly? Thank you.
└ Domin, be careful… the leader is eyeing the maknae position
【 Title: Jin’s Birthday W-Live Killing Points Summary (Warning: Long post) 】

Starting with yellow pajamas… Sparkle’s stylist is truly a pervert, you have to admit it… Our Jin’s face whiter than milk with visible collarbones… those sleeves… haa… no explanation needed
(GIF)

Killing parts from the very beginning so I’m holding back and only posting two. Is that person dragging a doll his own size and greeting us really the Jin Mommy I knew??? And not Sparkle’s new maknae???
So nervous with the camera that he forgot to put down the doll and kept broadcasting while being tense, I thought you were my son I’d abandoned at the beach^^! I knew from this moment. Today’s live was going to be amazing.
(GIF)
Jin suddenly smiling brightly when Minhun appears… still loves his son??? But aren’t you more lovable??
(Video)
You have to watch this as video. Photos? GIFs? Such things can’t capture the love between these two… As a 7-year Give, I’ve never been this surprised… The day Jin chose Minhun as his favorite son, I’m marking it on my calendar.
Do you see how sweetly Jin is smiling while saying he loves him??? I love Minhun too, but not as much as Jin does. And then 25-year-old Choi Minhun randomly confessing his love back when told it’s his turn. You’re kinda cute
(Photo)
I really can’t see Choi Minhun hiding his face with his hands and burying it in his knees out of embarrassment;;; And I totally can’t tell his face is red;;; I was surprised that 187cm suddenly disappeared^^;;;
(GIF)
Our Dongdong and K suddenly appearing in the chat lol When they spammed asking why Choi Minhun, do you all know what our Jin answered?? Because he’s here with me now^^ He’s here!! With me!! Now!!!!!!!! Dongdong and Kwon K, come home right now!!! Or you’ll lose your mom!!! Junyoung is… um…… hang in there…!!
(Photo)
Jin’s mission of 3 types of heart gestures. The baby who became less awkward when Minhun arrived… got awkward again when told to do aegyo, making him twice as cute.
(GIF)
Hunhun getting the “confess” mission and being surprised like, “To you, hyung?!” Minhun, you’re an idol… when they say “confess,” it’s usually to the fans, right…? Did you want to confess to Jin that badly? We all know that feeling, but let’s hide it a bit on the live^^^^^^
(GIF)
Jin doing the same “confess” mission… I heard there were no emergency room beds available that day…? Because everyone was rushed there watching the live…

Jin focusing hard on the game… Our Jin happy about winning… I wondered why he was trying so hard to win, and it turned out he was embarrassed being the only one in pajamas so he asked Minhun to wear pajamas too… But Minhun had to leave, so they agreed he’d make another wish later. I’ll be curious about that wish for the rest of my life lol
+ Dongdong and Kwon K lololololol When doing the confession mission, they spammed “wooooo” for Minhun, but when Jin did it, they sent hearts at the speed of light♡ QPG, hurry and let them promote in Korea… They released an album with the DongK combo, so let’s release one with the HunJin combo too… You guys like money, right…
===
─ I’ve rewatched the live dozens of times, and it’s thrilling every time… Jin awkward with the camera…
└ The funny thing is Minhun, who was discharged later, is exactly the same as before going to the military lololololol Only Jin became a rookie ㅠㅠㅠlololololol
─ HunJin album??? Absolutely do a sexy concept
└ Let’s go with mature sexy
└ QPG, make sure you see this comment right now
└ OMG mature sexy is so good ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ Just imagining it makes my heart explode ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ
─ I almost died laughing when Domin and K invaded the chat lololololol I heard they were trying to catch a flight to make it to the birthday live… is that true??
└ Minhun stopped them, so it’s probably true…
└ I was completely surprised to hear that K was going to do it too, not just the maknae… The maknae’s official brake??
└ K probably missed his mom too since it’s been a long time ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ
└ The sons love their mother
─ Watching the live makes me want to see them all together ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ Will there be any group activities until Junyoung is discharged?? Will DongK continue activities in Japan???
└ Nope, Japanese activities are ending soon. As for group activities… didn’t they just recruit fans for some special broadcast?
└ Idol Competition Sports Day???
└ Yes, that’s it. They’re doing the Idol Sports Championship again for the year-end special with 2nd gen vs 3rd gen teams, according to the news.
└ That planning is so trash, it got a ton of hate lololololol Why did Idol Sports disappear in the first place… Because too many idols got hurt, right… So why bring it back…?
└ Why Idol Sports of all things ㅜㅜ This time it’ll be Jin Baby not Jin Mommy, how can we send our babies
└ I really want to see Jin broadcasting in that state, but Idol Sports is a bit lol… He already gets a lot of small injuries, so I’m more worried.
─ Why does QPG tear apart a group that loves each other to death? Other groups are fighting like crazy. Instead of crappy things like Idol Sports, let them do a healing program together
└ Agree
└ Please refrain from mentioning other idols
