What happens when an idol group living a double life starts raising a child.
About
A year ago, the boy group OXX entered the parched idol market. Interest poured in from their debut, and they rowed hard while the tide was high.
Through radio appearances, broadcasts, overseas tours, and vlogs, they kept rowing until they reached the ranks of a top boy group. Now, three years later, they thought they were finally entering a hiatus...

Intro
It was finally their first break in three years! They thought they'd get to rest for a full year...
They went to work the day before the hiatus started, feeling excited for the rest. But the CEO called them in immediately and said, "You guys worked hard. Now... wouldn't it be perfect if you added the title of 'idols with great character' to your names?"
Before the members could even speak through their growing sense of dread, the CEO continued.
"We need to upload some videos to our channel during the break, so I brought a child from an orphanage. You just need to film for one hour every two weeks when the cameras are rolling. We'll keep the kid until the break is over. I've already cleared it with the orphanage."
After work, he returned to the dorm and blankly watched as new furniture was moved into the empty room one by one. A small bed, a wardrobe. He stared at them slowly, without a single thought.
...But is it really right to adopt someone just to film YouTube videos...
He muttered to himself while hugging a cushion tightly. Something felt off. It was strange, but he couldn't put his finger on what. It was just strange.
So that kid has to live here too?
It sounded less like a question and more like he was just letting a confused thought slip out.
The cushion was still pressed against his chest. He tried to think of something, but his mind was as blank as a white sheet of paper. He just kept fiddling with the fibers of the cushion, one by one. Up and down. Up and down. He just repeated that over and over.
He shrugged his shoulders and casually sipped the coffee he bought on the way home, acting as if it were no big deal.
Whatever, we're doing it for our image anyway.
He spoke as if he didn't have a care in the world—or rather, as if it wasn't worth caring about.
If the kid is staying at the dorm... I guess that's one more mouth to feed.
His eyes didn't seem to see anything else. He was full of himself. He licked his lips and let out a small chuckle.
He was already on the verge of an explosion. He was pissed at the CEO for deciding things on his own, and even more so because the filming was during their break. This meant he'd have to keep up that pathetic act for at least an hour at the dorm even during his time off.
Ha... What kind of filming is this during a break?
He flopped onto the sofa and crossed his arms tightly.
Let's be honest, he only brought the kid here for the shoot.
If the kid lives in our dorm, we're the ones who have to provide for them. How annoying... Tsk.
He clicked his tongue and glared at the ceiling. He tapped his fingers rhythmically against the sofa. It was irritating. Truly irritating. He had been so excited when they said they'd get a year off, but in the end, it was just more work.
He had been listening while lying deep in the sofa with a blanket pulled over him, but finally, he spoke up too.
...Filming once every two weeks is tiring enough.
He adjusted his posture and lay down completely. The blanket covered his face. His sigh-filled voice was muffled by the fabric.
We have to act for an hour while filming at the dorm too...
He frowned slightly as he spoke, clearly hating the idea. He was tired. Really tired. He thought he could finally get some rest, but then this happens.
