Fortunately, the P*Chuu incident was settled thanks to Siyoon’s clarification.
[Siyoon: P*Chuu is a character-shaped pork cutlet sold at snack bars. Cheong, are you calm now?]
[Cheong: Y-Yes… I’m sorry.]
[Baekya: It’s okay. You must have been really shocked.]
A warm scene of apology and forgiveness unfolded. The story then returned to Baekya’s casting episode.
[Baekya: At first, I thought it was a scam, so I refused.]
[Siyoon: Why? Why did you think it was a scam?]
[Baekya: ID is a really big company, but I wasn’t handsome and hadn’t done anything to catch the casting manager’s eye like Minsung hyung did. So I ran away. I think I walked around the school about three times.]
[Siyoon: You say you ran a chase?! That casting manager’s persistence is amazing… But Baekya, fans might feel sad hearing that. You’re really handsome and cute, right?]
[Yulmu: Yes, from today on, he’s our team’s official mascot.]
[Yunyeon: Our hyung also sings really well.]
Yulmu and Yunyeon eagerly jumped in to support Siyoon’s words, and the chat exploded again. Siyoon asked to check the monitor, noting comments were pouring in at incredible speed.
Baekya’s shy answers made fans shed tears in the chat.
Seeing the comments, Baekya didn’t know where to put himself and apologized and thanked the fans. Promising Siyoon never to say that again, the casting story wrapped up warmly.
Next came questions about the members’ height, weight, and usual clothing style, followed by music playing.
[Siyoon: We’re back with Days’ ‘Play’ as the first song of part two. Stay with us for more.]
[Group: Waa~]
[Siyoon: The reactions are great. Before starting the corner, I must ask about your debut song, ‘Play.’]
Siyoon asked for an introduction to the song.
[Yulmu: Days’ ‘Play’ compares a fateful meeting to a card game, showing a man’s obsessive love.]
Yulmu delivered his prepared lines flawlessly, having memorized them sweetly since last night.
Siyoon noted that although their full-scale activities just began, the song was released last year.
Days’ ‘Play’ was the first song by a rookie group to enter the revamped charts last year, truly a hot debut. Days blushed at the praise.
After a few more words about the song, the topic shifted to the music video.
[Siyoon: I saw it too, and the outfits were flashy. User 2300 asked if the concept was the Little Prince?]
[Jihan: The prince idea is a bit much… Just think of it as a medieval man. The music video’s era setting is similar.]
Again, the chat stirred wildly. Most agreed Days didn’t really have self-awareness.
[Siyoon: User Lee Sohyun says if Jihan’s face isn’t a prince, then there’s no prince in this world. I agree. Though my juniors, they’re really handsome.]
[Group: Thank you.]
[Siyoon: The song’s great, but if you had to pick one killing part, what would it be? Cheong?]
Cheong pondered briefly, then confidently answered.
[Cheong: Baekya!]
[Siyoon: Baekya, what’s your favorite part?]
[Cheong: The second verse’s high notes part—I sing along too.]
He liked the second verse’s “sabi” (hook) where he sings with Baekya. Siyoon asked if they could sing that part briefly.
Since it started from very high notes, it was a daunting request—any mistake would be embarrassing.
But Baekya couldn’t refuse. He had the quest to succeed within a time limit.
The quest was <I Will Rise For Sure!(2)>.
Starting with “rookies must do whatever they’re told,” the quest’s real details hid behind the “see more” link as expected.
‘That day almost ended in a bad ending…’
Just thinking about it was terrifying.
What was hidden behind “see more” felt like a stone on Baekya’s chest.
‘Yeah. How big a deal are high notes?’
He could do this a hundred times over.
The song started perfectly with no mistakes.
Baekya’s firm falsetto and Cheong’s low voice echoed through the studio. Then the system window popped up.
[Q. I Will Rise For Sure!(2): Personal skill first achievement!
▷Personal skills: 1/5
▷Aegyo: 0/5
▷Charm: 0/5
※ Time left: 25 days]
‘Aegyo and charm aren’t the same thing?!’
His blood pressure was rising again.
Luckily, maybe because the initial shock was so great, stress didn’t rise.
On the day he saw that absurd quest, Baekya had to spend 2 precious star points.
[Siyoon: Wow~ You both sing so well! Especially Baekya’s voice is really nice. User 7035 said they just felt eargasm, me too.]
Siyoon looked at Baekya with a bit of envy and said he wanted to collaborate someday.
The live reactions were great.
Listener texts praising Baekya’s voice flooded in. Baekya and Cheong thanked everyone again and vowed to work harder.
[Siyoon: Only one corner left now. Time flies.]
Next was the corner where listeners received gifts. Guests had to complete missions to win prizes—Begin Again’s main segment.
[Siyoon: If you succeed, fifteen people get chicken coupons. If you fail, Days face a terrifying penalty.]
Asked to pair up in twos for the game, Days began scrambling.
[Siyoon: Need help?]
[Minsung: Please help us…]
Siyoon asked who the youngest was, saying normally the youngest picks first. Cheong raised his hand quickly, claiming maknae.
[Siyoon: Anyone want a specific teammate?]
Cheong thought for a moment and chose Yulmu, believing he had a better chance with a strong physical partner.
Next was Yunyeon. Looking at remaining members, he chose Baekya. Asked why, he answered:
[Yunyeon: I think he’s hoping to be picked.]
[Baekya: When did I?!]
Yunyeon laughed and tugged Baekya. His deep dimples were charming.
But sulky Baekya refused. The live chemistry exploding between them caused the chat to go wild.
With that, Minsung and Jihan, the remaining two, were automatically paired. Siyoon quickly organized.
[Siyoon: The order is Jihan-Minsung team, Yunyeon-Baekya team, Yulmu-Cheong team. Jihan and Minsung, please wear prepared blindfolds.]
The mini-game was to guess objects by facial touch while blindfolded. It was a brilliant way to tease fans.
Only Siyoon knew which objects would be placed between members’ faces.
[Siyoon: Time limit is one minute. You must guess within one minute.]
Each team competed for five chicken coupons. The first game began.
Jihan and Minsung’s object was an apple.
With Siyoon’s countdown, the apple was placed between their faces.
The camera caught Minsung and Jihan pressing their cheeks together, rolling the apple.
The chat rose quickly. But contrary to fans’ hopes, the first team shouted the answer in just 20 seconds.
[Minsung: Answer! Fruit!]
[Siyoon: You have to guess which fruit.]
[Jihan: Apple?]
[Siyoon: Correct! The Jihan-Minsung team succeeds and wins five chicken coupons.]
The two took off their blindfolds and high-fived, thrilled to win chicken.
Next was the second team. Yunyeon and Baekya sat side by side, blindfolded.
[Siyoon: You saw the previous team. Only the object changes, rules stay the same. You must guess the exact object.]
[Baekya & Yunyeon: Yes!]
Nodding together, the second object appeared.
[Siyoon: Start!]
Siyoon shouted as a yellow chick doll was placed between them. Yunyeon and Baekya, faces close, started gently stroking the doll with their cheeks.
