Chapter 241: I Won’t Spoil It (2)
Crash, bang, the livestream continued in chaos. Kang Siwoo glanced at the manager, then spoke in resignation.
“Let’s just change it to a ‘Ask Anything’ corner.”
“That’s a good idea. Everyone, ask us anything you’re curious about.”
The youngest members were wide open to spoilers. Jin Sehyun nodded with sparkling eyes, his voice noticeably more confident.
“As long as it’s nothing that’ll cause a problem… I can tell you anything….”
“If it’s really not allowed, our manager hyung will come running to stop us anyway.”
“……?”
“Then wouldn’t it already be too late by then?”
Manager Lee Jaeyoon’s pupils had been shaking non-stop for a while now. I felt a bit sorry for him.
Still, maybe thanks to the bait Kang Siwoo threw, the already fast-paced comments began shooting up like crazy, hard to even follow.
I rolled my eyes around like I was taking a kinetic vision test, trying to read the comments.
Did you already film the MV???
Please tell us when the comeback is, my bank account is ready ㅠㅠ
Give us a concert… take my money, Doubles….
Please drop a spoiler for the choreography, a girl here is about to collapse….
Ah.
“We haven’t filmed the music video yet, and the choreography’s only been lightly made for the point move…”
Swiik.
As soon as I raised my arm a bit, Kang Siwoo smacked me down.
I mean… I was just testing it?
“Seohan, are you planning to retire?”
“Get it together. You’re still a rookie!”
“Ahakhakhak! Ahakhak!”
Cha Seongbin and Ha Junseo’s heavy remarks made Haim burst into laughter.
I wasn’t planning on retiring yet, but….
“Our Dusty fans might be feeling a bit anxious waiting.”
“So this is the limit of what you’ll tell us, huh… I get it!”
“Which is why I’ll now perform the full chorus part.”
Cut.
“Ack!”
Is Do Seohan insaneㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ I’m dying laughing
What is wrong with our Hamjji today, there’s a hint of madness….
Full choreo spoiler? Even better
Isn’t he gonna get smacked by Doubles as soon as this live endsㅠㅠ should I record this ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
Just then, Seo Ian grabbed my arm and said,
“Actually, Seohan stayed up all night yesterday preparing for the recording.”
“Oh, right.”
“He’s not in great condition right now.”
Do Seohanㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ when he said “oh, right” he looked like the most clueless hamster ever ㄱㅇㅇ
He looks so unwell it’s even funnierㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
Do Hamjji has completely lost itㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ what is happening
No wonder I felt sleepy….

“We’re changing roommates this time.”
“That’s right!”
“Oh. We decided that, huh?”
We hadn’t switched roommates since debut for quite a while.
There hadn’t been any particular content around it, and our living habits had matched well with the current roommates, so no one felt the need to change….
But since we were changing now, we decided to do it live in front of the fans.
Jin Sehyun asked Kang Siwoo with an excited voice.
“How are we gonna pick?”
“Well, it’s going to be divided by rooms…. Right now, we’ve got one triple room and two doubles.”
A temporary roommate arrangement until the next round of activities.
Just like last time, I could already picture everyone preferring the double rooms, but that was secondary for now….
Kang Siwoo looked around at the members and continued smoothly.
“Is there anyone you’d like to room with?”
“I want Junseo-hyung!!”
Seo Haim raised his hand high and blurted it out. Ha Junseo’s expression brightened at the unexpected choice.
“Junseo-hyung is so quirky, so it’s fun being with him!”
“…Hey.”
He’s right.
Ha Junseo tilted his head, unsure whether it was a compliment or an insult.
“It’s probably a compliment.”
“Yeah. Haim’s always sincere with hyung.”
“Oh, really?”
Eventually, Ha Junseo turned his head with a pleased expression at Jin Sehyun’s reassuring pat on the shoulder.
Kang Siwoo looked at the two and smiled, then cautiously opened his mouth.
“Um, the person I want to room with is….”
“It’s Do Seohan, obviously.”
“It’s Seohan.”
“…….”
Freeze.
Kang Siwoo scratched his head, seemingly with no excuse to deny it.
“I mean, yeah.”
Siwoo is truly sincere about Do Hamjji….
No one loves the youngest more than himㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
But I get why Kang Siwoo finds Do Seohan so cute. Even on screen he makes you want to kidnap him into your pocket—he must be endlessly adorable in real life!
“Then what about you, Seohan?”
“I’ll go with random.”
“Oh no~.”
“Kang Siwoo got rejected.”
Cha Seongbin sighed with a sorrowful expression, but it was clearly just for the reaction.
From the start, we were going to decide the roommates randomly anyway.
Manager Lee Jaeyoon reached out from behind the camera and handed over a long container.
Inside were three pre-prepared wooden sticks for the content.
At the end of each stick, A, B, and C were written in ink. Kang Siwoo showed the sticks to the camera and explained.
“Your roommate will be decided based on what you draw from here.”
“If you draw A, you go to Room A immediately.”
“For reference, Room B is the triple room we’re using right now.”
Then came a sharp comment.
But isn’t it possible for one letter to get drawn multiple times??
Since it wasn’t a lottery system and the same stick could be drawn again, the number of people per room wasn’t predetermined, just as the commenter pointed out. But that, too, had been arranged by the staff.
“Oh, that’s all part of the randomness~.”
Cha Seongbin grinned slyly as he spoke.
“I think it’ll be fun to have four or five people in one room.”
“True. Can’t miss out on the fun.”
“That kind of chaos doesn’t sound bad~.”
Ahㅋㅋㅋ look at Seongbin’s proud faceㅋㅋㅋ he’s just cute
Words become reality, guys… stop right there….
I can already picture Cha Seongbin sobbing if it actually becomes a five-person room
“Let’s all pull them out evenly, okay?”
“Yeah, got it.”
“My fingertips have amazing instincts. I’ll draw one like a champ!!”
To be honest, it was just a joke at this point….
But once everyone started drawing sticks from the container one by one, somehow the room grew quiet.
“I got B.”
“Huh? Me too.”
Huh?
“…I got B.”
“I also drew B.”
“What?”
It became reality…!
“Aaack!”
Kang Siwoo clutched his head with a bewildered expression, and a grave voice burst out on its own.
“Wait a sec. How many of us are there?”
“Five people.”
Huh?ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
No seriously, they should’ve done a proper lottery
This is hilariousㅋㅋㅋㅋ Words really do become reality… guys….
“Are five people seriously going in?”
“If we squeeze tight, it’ll work!”
“We’re not luggage, you know, we’re humans.”
-ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Do Seohan’s spitting facts
Seohanㅋㅋㅋㅋ Did you learn how to savage from Jin Sehyun or what
But seriously, he’s too right to argue with
The triple room had somehow become even more crowded than expected.
In the end, the members assigned to Room B gathered for an intense discussion.
Kang Siwoo was the first to speak seriously.
“Our space is tight, so we need to divide it strategically, okay?”
“How should we assign the spots?”
You guys aren’t serious, right?
The 5-member squad in the triple room has begun a super serious discussion….
The problem is… they really do seem seriousㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
Jin Sehyun quickly offered his opinion.
“Leader-hyung, you can have the bottom bunk.”
“Then I want the top bunk~.”
“Since Seongbin-hyung is the oldest, we’ll give him the top bunk too.”
And the remaining three. Coincidentally, all three of the youngest had ended up in a 5-person version of the triple room.
We had to come up with the most reasonable space allocation.
Jin Sehyun stroked his chin and said,
“I’ll sleep on the floor. Haim, you can take whichever bed is left….”
“I want to sleep on the floor too!”
“Get out…!”
While the two of them bickered, Kang Siwoo’s gaze turned to me.
“Seohan, where do you want to sleep?”
Hmm.
“I’ll sleep in the closet.”
It might actually be pretty cozy?
[New Room Assignment for Universe Dust]
Double Room A: Seo Ian
Triple Room B: Cha Seongbin, Kang Siwoo, Jin Sehyun, Seo Haim, Do Seohan
Double Room C: Ha Junseo
Apparently.
????Why are there five people in a triple room?
└Because that’s Universe Dust for you
└Because those are our boys
└Guess they like clustering together since they’re dust
└Now that you mention it, even the dust under my bed is all clumped up….
└WTF what kind of logic is this
└Are the Dusties insaneㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋahㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
Other idol fans be like “Our boys huddled together are so cute, like kindergarten kids ㅠㅠ” but why do Dusties start moe-ifying them into literal dust?
└Insaneㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Everyone’s saying “Our boys are like dust”ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
└The group name was doomed from the start….
└They’re cute, but like, dust-cute
└What even is “dust-cute”
└Fluffy…?
└Huh?
What even happened during that livestream…?
└Wasn’t it Do Seohan dropping a massive spoiler and getting dragged off by Kang Siwoo?
└Five of them crammed into one room and locking Do Seohan in the closet?
└Excuse me? Now I’m even more confused
└I need to rewatch this
└Why the hell did the closet come into playㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ are you all insane

The five members of the “triple room” huddled together….
Ahㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Did they really arrange themselves like they said during the livestream?
└There’s one empty bed, and Haim’s half hanging off of it
└Seo Chick being extra againㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
└Why is he sleeping like thatㅠㅠㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
└And Jin Sehyun’s exasperated expression… seriously perfection
Just from this one picture you can fully interpret the Stardust characters
Cha Seongbin: Eldest of Universe Dust, going wild on the top bunk playing with Seo Haim below
Kang Siwoo: Sitting quietly by himself, studying with a Japanese textbook
Seo Haim: Can’t stay still for a second, and in about three minutes he’ll be completely on the floor
Jin Sehyun: Coldly spitting facts at Seo Haim with a deadpan stare
Do Seohan: …???? Wait, why is he in the closet????
└WTF that last one completely flopped the interpretation and it’s killing meㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
└Even the commenter is bewildered by Do Hamjji’s current state
└I also can’t figure our boy out sometimes…
Why the hell is Do Seohan inside the closetㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ You crazy guy
└Insane
└Excuse me…?
└I only noticed nowㅋㅋㅋㅋ It was so natural I thought he was part of the background
└The way he slightly poked his head out for the camera is so cute I’m gonna die
Can anyone explain why our boy became one with the closet?
└Because hamsters like dark places….
└Whenever they escape, they always bolt for the closet—it’s a universal truth
└ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋHe's a human though

The fan community was in chaos thanks to the rare room assignment shuffle.
The delightfully unconventional room assignment proof photo had set the whole place on fire.
Dusty Yuyeong laughed uncontrollably as she saved the photo of Do Seohan in the closet to her gallery.
“I need to look at this whenever I feel down.”
Our youngest gave us the biggest laugh of the morning.
Han Yooyoung mumbled that to herself as she left her room to get ready for work.
Phone in one hand, she picked up her things and headed out the door….
Right then.
“Oooooh?”
