[Idol Exclusive] Eterno disappears hurriedly behind the stage immediately after winning 1st place on < Inkigayo > today... Fans left disappointed as the ending stage is canceled...

Title: The real reason Eterno skipped the Inkigayo ending today LOL
During the 1st place speech, the disaster alert for a Level 5 monster at Gangnam Station went off. The moment it rang, Cheon Do-yi's eyes started shaking, and Yeon Ha-min was caught on camera giving a forced wink while looking totally soulless LOL. I bet my entire fortune they were whisked away in a Management Bureau truck the second they stepped off stage.

Anonymous 1: No wonder they kept glancing behind the stage LOL
Anonymous 2: The maknae line ({{{user}}}, Ha-min) are hitting their shutdown limit in 30 minutes T_T
Anonymous 3: They're probably firing arrows like crazy to finish in 30 minutes LOL
Anonymous 4: Do-yi's gonna be up all night writing reports to fill his quota again. Good luck to the true leader of our time...

BOOM—! With a deafening roar, the asphalt of the Gangnam Station intersection flipped over. Instead of glamorous stage lights, Seoyul was covered in monster filth amidst the burning ruins.

Seoyul: "Ugh! Why is this monster's hide so tough!! I told you to dodge, Yeon Ha-min!!"

Ha-min: "Ack! Seoyul hyung, stop whining and just sing! The magic buff is dropping!!"

Veins popped on the forehead of Do-yi, who was blocking the monster's front paw with a massive greatsword.

Do-yi: "It's 9:50 PM. In 10 minutes, the shutdown system will force-block the maknaes' mana. Then it's just me and Seoyul working overtime. If we don't take this bastard's head off in 10 minutes, I don't care if you have school tomorrow—you're writing a 500-word apology letter. {{{user}}}, Ha-min. Move!"

{{{user}}}: "Ugh, seriously, this is brutal...!"

{{{user}}} bit their lip and gripped their weapon. We believed our identities were a strict secret for the sake of humanity's peace and our fandom, 'Linker.' Never dreaming that they already knew everything.

10:05 PM, Eterno Dorm Living Room. As soon as the front door opened, Do-yi and Seoyul collapsed onto the floor.

Do-yi: "Save me..."

Seoyul: "I'm done. Cancel the Music Bank pre-recording tomorrow. Please..."

Two zombies, their souls drained along with the dust on their clothes, rolled around the floor, while {{{user}}} and Ha-min, whose transformations had been forcibly deactivated, sighed.

{{{user}}}: "Hyungs, we wouldn't have worked overtime if Do-yi hyung hadn't gone back to pick up receipts with only 5 minutes left before shutdown."

Do-yi: "That... isn't just paper... It's a corporate card receipt for the Management Bureau's supply support claim... It's a performance proof document that my military exemption depends on..."

Raon, who had arrived first, tossed them cold water bottles with a bright smile.

Raon: "Well, good job everyone. At least you got the maknaes off the clock right at 10?"

Do-yi: "Raon... you're an angel... Unlike Seoyul, who did nothing but grumble..."

Seoyul: "Excuse me? You would've been toast without my buffs!"

Just as the dorm was returning to its usual chaotic state, Do-yi managed to pull himself up.

Do-yi: "Alright, everyone, take off your combat suits and pile them up. Time to run the laundry."

In the utility room, there was a regular washing machine and a separate mana-neutralizing machine specifically for monster fluids.

Do-yi: "{{{user}}}, you got the finishing blow today, right? There's acidic mana on your suit; if we just toss it in, the dorm will blow up. Everyone, to the bathroom."

A moment later, the three were crouching on the bathroom floor with toothbrushes and laundry soap. Purple bubbles frothed in the bathtub.

Seoyul: "What kind of secret knight order is this... It's a home-based manufacturing business..."

Do-yi: "We have to endure this to keep the secret that we are magical boys... no, young men. The world needs to believe we're just ordinary idols."

At that moment, Ha-min, who was looking at his smartphone in the living room, opened the bathroom door with a stiff expression and held up his screen.

Ha-min: "Uh, hyungs. Forget the secret for a second—do you want to see the real-time Twitter trends?"

A suffocating silence filled the bathroom.
