#41. Arcus (3)
Na Jihan’s problematic statements didn’t end there.
“It’s better than sleeping with other people though.”
“Is that so?”
“Of course. Yoon Seowoo is used to doing it with me too.”
[Ji… Jihan;]
[Hey Na Jihan why do you talk like that?????!?!]
[Object ㅁㅊ Jihan the object is missing so the nuance is so strange]
└ Look at Hapil Jae’s expression getting weird (photo)
└ Jihan’s rough f?riendship and unsettling statements and Hapil watching it
[Now I don’t even know anymore, I’m curious about Seowoo’s reaction when he directly heard this statement]
└ He might be surprisingly used to it…? They said they’ve known each other their whole lives
[🔒 I’m the only one who smelled the irresistible scent of chemistry]
[🔒 I really didn’t want to dig into alpha fest this time.. really but these guys started it first]
[🔒 My loose idol fan life, Na Jihan is rushing without even turning on his blinker, is this right?]
└ Please speak correctly. The rushing was done to Yoon Seowoo and our position is about houseplant 1 in the dorm
└└ Okay sorry~ㅎ
[Why is it so funny that JihanSeowoo stories are gushing out like crazy]
[I came over from a minor ship and there’s so much to eat I’m about to be buried and die; Is this right?]
└ Just say thank you and eat, you’re supposed to row when the tide comes in
Amid the commotion, the second half of Arcus’s reality documentary was released. A meeting for the joint filming that would take place in Jeju Island was in full swing.
Na Jihan was incredibly busy. It wasn’t enough for him to naturally volunteer as a roommate and meticulously check the schedule and filming content. He delivered a list of necessary items to the road manager and even personally checked costumes and props in advance.
Na Jihan’s deeply concentrated face was captured on screen, then it switched to a brief interview scene.
[Q. You seem to become very meticulous when it comes to Yoon Seowoo-ssi’s work.]
Na Jihan: That’s probably true. Unlike a straightforward person like me, he’s delicate. (smiles gently) But Seowoo is somewhat indifferent to himself. He’s clumsy when it comes to his own affairs. I got used to taking care of things one by one from the side.
(Has it been like this since you were young?) Yes. It’s been like this since we were very young. I’m practically Yoon Seowoo’s guardian.
(You’ve been together for over 20 years, haven’t you ever fought or grown distant?) Of course we’ve fought. We grew up bickering like any other kids. But did we fight to the point of our relationship getting bad? No. I can’t do that with Seowoo. Even being together isn’t enough.
(Don’t you get tired of always being together like that?) Not at all? Even if you told me to be with him for 200 years, I wouldn’t get tired.
The scene changed, showing Midnight Entertainment’s senior boy group ‘Days’. The five members put their heads together with serious expressions for a long meeting, and soon one of them entered the small interview booth where Na Jihan had been.
“Wow. It’s been a really long time since I’ve been in here too. It’s changed a lot?”
Leader Bae Dojin smiled broadly while looking around. Since it was a booth used for Days’ debut interviews and self-produced content, he seemed to have a fresh feeling since there had been no reason to come in for a while.
[Q. How did you feel when you heard that a junior group, ‘Arcus’, was being formed?]
Bae Dojin: At first, I was curious. Midnight had been making mostly girl groups for a while. I felt like what was supposed to come had come. It was also somewhat curious because it was a different picture from what I expected.
(A different picture from what you expected?) As you know, given the company’s scale, there were some trainee friends who were being prepared to follow in ‘Days’ footsteps. There weren’t a few of them, but they took the form of two of those friends plus three external castings. I thought that was unique.
(Come to think of it, your cousin Bae Jonghwi-ssi was also a Midnight Entertainment trainee, right?) That’s right. But I don’t think he’s a good fit for Twelve Label or Arcus. I also think there will be better opportunities that suit Jonghwi better.
Anyway, back to the main point. Since it was a unique form, it was an impressive first impression. I think that’s how I can summarize it.
(In a way, ‘Days’ has a direct junior group. Were there any concerns?) Hmm… (smiles awkwardly and hesitates for a moment) It would be a lie to say there weren’t any, right? Especially when they said there would be changes to the member composition when the debut date was already set, I was nervous.
(Are you saying you were worried about the group’s direction?) Oh, no. I wasn’t worried about that. I thought they were talents who would eventually debut no matter where you put them. What I was worried about was the latecomer. I was worried about what would happen if they felt left out for joining late.
Actually, up until then, the whole senior-junior thing was only in a very conceptual range. For the first time, I wanted to act like a senior. It had been a while since I thought I wanted to take care of someone.
The scene changed, showing Bae Dojin carefully selecting and filling gifts in a small box. On top of a well-maintained fountain pen, a letter with a brief message was placed.
“May Arcus become a wider world for Yoon Seowoo-ssi as time goes by.”

[What’s with Bae Dojin’s senior vibes?]
[That man… it feels like yesterday he was the nation’s first love but he’s already grown into an “adult”]
[What ㅁㅊ I thought I left the Days fandom but apparently not; I still fucking love them]
└ Sir, there may be fandom breaks but no fandom exits
[I don’t know how many shocking statements came out of stone-hearted Dojin oppa’s mouth]
[(Video) Wow I eventually went over to the Days account through this linkㅋㅋ Past me who cursed about genealogy selling being terrible, reflect]
[(Photo) (Photo) (Photo) Completely failed telepathy game]
└ I’ve never seen such a mismatched duo…
└ Shouldn’t at least one thing match normally? How they’re divided like this is impressive in some ways
[Looking at hesitant Seowoo with eyes that say he’s cute to death ㅁㅊㄷㅁㅊㅇ suddenly the senior-junior stock exploded]
[DojinSeowoo am I the only one who got signals???!?! Gentle capable classic handsome senior and soft innocent kind beauty junior… both looks and personality compatibility are divine honey combinations]
└ Main vocal duo please join immediately
└ Ugh sorry I’m still for main dancer main vocal domestic combination
└ Na Jihan’s approach is different though… but this combination gives a good feeling too
└└ Then wouldn’t it be fine to eat all three ^ ^ The most perfect shape in the world is the triangle after all
The scene that followed was empty. The camera was fixed in one corner like CCTV, capturing nothing at first, then soon bickering voices were heard and subtitles appeared below.
– Where are you going?
– …….
– Didn’t you hear what I just said? I’m making Yoon Seowoo sleep next to me.
– Without even asking Yoon Seowoo’s opinion…
– I’m asking now. Won’t you sleep next to me?
– …….
– Do you prefer sleeping with other people?
– You really, your words…
[Na Jihan you really talk strangely]
└ I don’t know how many times I’ve heard this lineㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ It’s on infinite repeat on my timeline
└ Na Jihan you really… click clack… Na Jihan you really… click clack… Na Jihan you really… click clack
[ㄹㅇ Na Jihan really has a problematic mouth in many ways]
└ Mouth of disaster(+)
[My head is getting a bit dizzy from the favorite ship stocks pouring down from the sky by the crateful]
[I was vigorously claiming that JihanSeowoo spring would come but…]
└ What spring, it’s boiling midsummer heat and the entire timeline is experiencing a braindead phenomenon
[?]
[??????]
[No what are these guys really?]
[What? What? What did I just see,,, what did I see? O.o]
[I knew Jihan was exceptionally fussy but.. if you watch, Seowoo isn’t ordinary either]
[Who sleeps using their childhood friend’s arm as a pillow? Don’t these guys know what friend means?!?!?!]
[I just thought that group’s main dancer and main vocal were secretly dating… I really didn’t know they were actually secretly married]
└ Ah so the late joining was through spouse special admission?
[Really ridiculous kids (((* ^ ^ *))) Kids that’s not friendship]
[Do you know more about each other than anyone else? O
Have you been watching each other for a long time and plan to continue? O
Do you take care of each other’s affairs more fussily than your own? O
Is being each other’s number 1 natural? O
Do you get upset if the other person has secrets they can’t tell you? O
Are you used to lying next to each other and sleeping face to face? O]
└ How is this a group member checklist
[Sigh… my HapilSeowoo stock that I was eating with the gap moe younger-older, delinquent-honor student combination,,, became a collapsing mansion ㅠ]
└ Don’t give up!!!! They say fan activities are about principles and ships are about beliefs
└ That’s right!!!!! Yeah without you HapilSeowoo is ruined. Absolutely protect HapilSeowoo. HapilSeowoo fans are starving.
[>I can hear all the acorn rolling sounds<]
[Wow when I got into the fandom this time I had the mindset of absolutely boosting my kid with fan love… but I never thought about making them this moe so I’m really flustered]
└ Did Na Jihan give birth to Yoon Seowoo by any chance?
└└ Fuck ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
└ Looking at him do that in his sleep, it’s not something he’s done for just a day or two
└ Seowoo is completely quietly nestled… amazing, like a tamed rabbit
[JihanSeowoo official(?) first night thread]
└ (Photo) Arm pillow, (Photo) lying face to face
└ (Video) Acorn rolling
└ (Photo) When Seowoo burrows into his embrace in his sleep, NaJihan naturally supports his waist and neck and pulls him into his arms
└ Gentle boyfriend moment of covering Seowoo with blanket and tidying up as soon as he wakes up
└ Scene of calculating time after washing up and letting him sleep as much as possible (photo)
└ (Photo) (Photo) Sitting up the dozing rabbit and feeding him apple for breakfast
[Wow it’s so tight seriously]
[This is… friendship? Am I misunderstanding the meaning of friendship or are these guys deceiving the fans]
[Arcus chemistry representative JihanSeowoo please pay lots of attention please pay lots of attention]
