The groups for the extreme horror experience were surprisingly divided reasonably.

"You can divide into two groups of two people and one group of three people."

"Phew..."

Once it was said that they would not have to go alone, the faces of the scaredy-cats improved. Especially, Kim Raebin.

"Th-then... How will we divide?"

"I want to go with Chungwoo hyung!"

"Me too!"

And Ryu Chungwoo's stock value suddenly began to rise as everyone wanted to be with him.

'...Certainly, he's particularly reliable in this area.'

Ryu Chungwoo looked around and opened his mouth with a smile.

"Haha, then including me... um, how about the three of us, Raebin and Moondae go?"

"Thank you!"

"Aye~ It's not fun like that! Chungwoo hyung, it's fun when there are just two people."

Keun Sejin began to light up the candle and sprinkle ashes on top of the rice.

//TN: to ruin something that is already perfectly good

'This bastard really...'

As expected, everything that I was scared of after watching horror movies seemed to have the right concept.

"Hmm, is that so?"

"Of course!"

...And as Ryu Chungwoo was persuaded by Keun Sejin, the winner of rock-paper-scissors would be the one to designate all the groups.

"Wow~ so it turned out like this."

'Fuck.'

The most ridiculous thing was that Keun Sejin survived to the end.

'Shouldn't the person who suggested usually be the one who gets ruined?'

Keun Sejin grinned and immediately formed the groups.

Therefore, I was...

"Uwaaahh!!"

"Move! Move!"

With a crazy combination of Keun Sejin and Cha Yujin, we explored the haunted house. It was a combination that would make my eardrums burst first before we could get out.

I barely managed to ask Cha Yujin.

"...I thought you weren't scared of horror movies."

I thought he wasn't afraid of ghosts and was just weak against creepy things. However, Cha Yujin was jumping around as if he was stepping on living frogs at every step.

"I can watch! I hate real ones! Only fake ones are fine!"

"..."

'In a sense, isn't this also completely fake...'

However, this wasn't an issue that could be assured to him, so let's move on.

Instead, I asked Keun Sejin.

"Why did you choose me?"

"How should I say this... is it the call of conscience? I wanted to join the group of three, but my inner cry said that it's not fair to just take the one with the strongest nerves."

"..."

"So, I decided to show the three scaredy-cats' splendid skills of overcoming this!"

What a load of crap.

...Hmm, let's not forget that there was a camera on our foreheads.

"...Let's move first."

"Okay. Let's do that~"

"We must go fast..."

...I had to think about the shortest distance.

"But Moondae, where do you think the 'Suspicious sign' could be?"

"..."

That was also a problem.

In this 'Invitation From The Haunted Family', each group had a mission to perform which was to find a 'Suspicious sign' and take a picture. There must be more than one!

"They said that if we find a lot of it and take pictures, we'll get a present! Let's explore and challenge ourselves!"

"...I like that!"

Even Cha Yujin began to act bravely as if he was hooked by the keywords 'present' and 'explore'. He made me speechless.

"...Then, let's go through the hallway first, and enter the smallest door."

Since it seemed like the staff would be waiting in the largest and most conspicuous room.

"Things like this are usually hidden. I think we should look for something that doesn't stand out first."

"Wow, that's a good idea~ So the provider of the idea takes the lead, right?"

"..."

I really want to hit him.

However, it was true that being in the front was better than being in the back, so I took the lead feeling like I had to choose the lesser of two evils.

"Fine."

"Wow~ You're so cool! I'm scared so I'll go to the back~"

Still, Keun Sejin went to the back on his own not wanting to argue with Cha Yujin about who was going to be the last one at the back. He showed a firm determination to get a good amount of reaction footage.

"Well then, let's go!"

"Let's go!"

"..."

I slowly walked down the hallway. Inside the dimly lit wooden building, the pungent smell of mold stung my nostrils.

"Moondae! There's blood!"

"...!!"

I almost cursed. I just turned my head while clenching my teeth and responded.

"Don't shout...!"

Keun Sejin made an apologetic expression.

"Okay, sorry- uaaahhh?!"

"Uwaahh!!"

"...?!"

...I turned my head back to the front.

There was a woman in employee attire that would have been worn in a background movie 50 years ago.

But she had no legs.

And she did not have eyes either.

There was only a lot of blood.

"Aaahhhh!!!"

"Uaaah!! Run!"

...As I ran to the next room with the screaming guys, I realized that this group was already doomed.

* * *

"..."

When I got out, the sun was already setting.

It meant that it took us an hour to get out of that crazy haunted house.

'It was supposed to be a 25-minute course.'

I didn't even have a clue how embarrassingly I would appear on the broadcast.

"...My throat hurts."

"You also? Me too."

The two guys, who had been screaming out loud, were given ionized drinks from the production crew and drank like crazy.

Of course, Keun Sejin was the one who half-jokingly screamed, so this was karma he did to himself.

Seon Ahyun talked to us as he was worried that we had spent twice as much time as expected.

The duo of Seon Ahyun and Lee Sejin had taken three photos in 20 minutes and found the exit.

...The reality check came in several ways.

"A-are you okay?"

"...Well. It's fine."

This was an experience that I couldn't understand why anyone would pay for.

'No, even if I got paid for it.'

If it's about the minimum wage, I don't want to go there again.

"Moondae worked hard~ Hey, thanks."

"Thank you!"

There was nothing far-fetched about claiming that I hard-carried them since it was all captured on camera. I slowly nodded.

Still, because we took a picture before coming out, it was a much better situation than running away.

"Whew..."

"I'm back."

When the last team, Ryu Chungwoo and Kim Raebin, returned after 35 minutes, the PD started talking again.

"You worked hard~ You should have dinner now!"

"Don't tell me... Is the dinner also extreme?"

"Of course!"

"Ahh..."

There would have been a riot if not for the camera being there.

"It's extreme... grilled pork!"

"Ohhh!!"

"Barbecue!"

Fortunately, the production crew seemed to know that it was time to draw the line.

Shortly after, in the vacant lot next to the haunted house, the barbecue pork began to be grilled over the fire.

'It's already roasted.'

Looking at the firepower, it seemed that the bonfire was used to keep the meat warm.

Anyway, most of the members were happy with the amazing visuals. Except for Kim Raebin who still seemed to be out of it.

"Thank you for the food~"

"Thank you!"

The taste wasn't as overwhelming as it looked, but the meat was delicious as always.

* * *

The present we received from taking pictures at the haunted house... was an animal pajama.

'There's one more suit like this.'

There were more than five sets of gifts in total.

Anyway, seeing that we were given seven suits, they were in fact asking all the members to wear those to sleep during the reality show trip.

'That's not hard.'

So at 8 pm, all the TeStar members were dressed in animal pajamas and sitting in the living room of the pension.

"Since the three scaredy-cats did a good job, we're wearing them together."

"I like it."

"I-it's cute and nice."

Looking at the guys, who were diligently talking just in case it was a sponsored, I thought they had already become broadcasters.

Anyway, it was free time from now until we went to bed. However, it obviously didn't mean that we could do whatever we wanted freely.

'We have to voluntarily pick content.'

Well... Whether it was a karaoke game, playing board games or writing heartfelt letters to each other. It meant that we had to do something and make it seem like we were comfortable.

"Hmm~ Should we play truth or dare, since we're bored?"

Like that for example.

"Tru-truth or dare?"

"Yeah. I saw that there was a lie detector earlier."

"Really? That's fine."

But then Kim Raebin, who was pondering something, intervened.

"Hmm, we spent the day playing so much, so I thought it would be nice to do something a little more productive in the evening."

The members quickly came to their senses with the ominous keyword.

"Productive...?"

"Raebin-ah, don't tell me you're talking about... making something?"

"Yes!"

"..."

A brief moment of silence passed.

But, surprisingly, Lee Sejin spoke out.

"...What do you want to make?"

"Ah, a new song."

"-!? What?"

"A- a new song?"

"Yes. Actually, there's a song I worked on a while ago! I also brought portable recording equipment just in case."

Kim Raebin was excited and brought his bag.

At that moment, everyone stepped forward and started to stop Kim Raebin.

"Hey, Raebin-ah! If something goes wrong it could become a spoiler."

"That's right. And I think it would be better to start that activity after finishing this one."

"...? Is that so?"

Kim Raebin lowered his smartphone with a perplexed face. He looked like he didn't expect this reaction at all.

'...That guy has no social skills, but he isn't stupid.'

Should I adjust to him again?

"A new song isn't the goal of the next album's title track"

"Ah, yes!"

Kim Raebin looked like he finally got the hang of it.

"What I made is for the fan song!"

"...Ah!"

An unstoppable attack skill appeared.

If you react with 'That's a bit...' you could be subjected to clever editing such as making it seem like you don't want to make a song for the fans.

Obviously, right now it was not about the production crew's editing but the editing of the Internet aggros.

...It was already obvious that they would occupy the popular posts on the community site in this way.

Fortunately, Keun Sejin opened his mouth right away.

"A fan song sounds really good! I really wanted to make it!"

Let's fire out the support.

"It's going to be fun. Even the timing is good now."

"...It will be fine."

"Th-that sounds good."

Kim Raebin just looked proud at the sudden change of attitude.

"Thank you...!"

I'm sure it wasn't intended, but this was the only scene I had ever seen where Kim Raebin was victorious.

* * *

On a leisurely weekday afternoon, TeStar's fans were having a good time reviewing the contents poured out during their activities.

After defeating VTIC and winning first place on a music show, there were some aggros going on rampant trying to pick a fight with VTIC fans, but it didn't turn into a big problem.

After all, it happened after VTIC finished their domestic activities so it was an element that could be passed on in their fandom.

Thanks to this, TeStar's fans, who had a relatively peaceful time, received a social media notification.

It was from TeStar's account.

'Who could it be?'

Because different members posted quite often, the fans just happily clicked on the notification without much tension.

'Accept your heart?'

'...?'

'Dating... This isn't about dating, is it?'

The fans clicked on the link half worried and half confused.

And they noticed the thumbnail with seven people in animal pajamas.

'...!!'

//TN: Moondae being a 'certified scaredy-cat' is honestly kinda funny and cute! And the fact that Chungwoo knew Moondae would be scared so he chose him to be in the same group at first including Raebin was so wholesome.
