[■■ You heard a keyword, and it caused a status effect: Confusion. (Duration: 3 seconds)]

[Status effect: Confusion has been lifted.]
On Raon exhaled shallowly.
‘What kind of status effect is this?’
He could understand why he had paused at Geum Gyu-ri’s words, but the fact that it caused a status effect was absurd.
Should he be grateful? The overwhelming emotion he had felt a few months ago almost made his heart throb painfully again, but now he felt perfectly fine.
‘I need to get a grip.’
Although he was obsessively restoring a song due to his lingering attachment to memories that had supported him, On Raon was someone who knew how to focus on the present reality when needed.
Fortunately, Geum Gyu-ri, who was half lost in her own story, did not notice anything strange about On Raon.
As Geum Gyu-ri seemed to have finished most of what she wanted to say, On Raon responded sincerely to her long story and then launched his counterattack.
Even though Geum Gyu-ri might not have intentionally targeted his weaknesses, he thought he would regret it later if he let her attack him without fighting back.
“Do you have any questions for me? If not, can I ask you something?”
As On Raon leaned closer while saying that, Geum Gyu-ri momentarily forgot how to breathe.
“Were the tangerines delicious back then?”
“What, what?”
Geum Gyu-ri felt like she was about to faint at the implication of his words.
She had hoped he might remember since they had made eye contact and he had even gestured to her during the mini fan meeting, but still!
Whether hearing his voice through a speaker from afar or hearing his low laughter on the radio, On Raon’s voice was always pleasant.
However, it was nowhere near as good as looking him in the eyes and hearing him directly.
Then On Raon used an even more shocking method to snap Geum Gyu-ri back to reality.
He gently placed his empty hand on top of Geum Gyu-ri’s interlocked hands.
“!”
On Raon’s two hands overlapped with Geum Gyu-ri’s hand in the middle.
The team ring on his left hand was a little cold, but she didn’t have the leisure to care about such a piece of metal.
On Raon then brought their joined hands to his cheek.
Since it was On Raon’s own hand that touched his cheek, it did not violate the rule that fans could only touch the singer’s hand.
From any angle, On Raon’s perfect face, still retaining some youthful charm, was so endearing that Geum Gyu-ri momentarily pondered what kind of merit she had accumulated in her past life to enjoy such a luxury.
She couldn’t remember much of the conversation after that.
She definitely talked a lot about something…
“See you next time.”
“Yes…!”
When she came to her senses, time had flown by.
After being drained of energy by the five members, Geum Gyu-ri returned to her seat in a daze and then seriously pondered.
‘How do I… save money?’
If she had never been there, she wouldn’t know, but once she had experienced it, not going again was out of the question.

Among the 100 fans who were selected, there were people like Geum Gyu-ri who were so nervous that they trembled, but there were also many who were more adept at handling the situation than most celebrities.
Yoon Seon-woo was one of them.
Thanks to the constant chatter as if they had attended a special lecture on fan signings, Yoon Seon-woo, who had happily cleared Gyun Seong-ha, handed On Raon a silver tiara as he greeted him.
“If it’s okay, could you try this on?”
Yoon Seon-woo had rented an actual wedding tiara, and its large, towering design made it feel more like a coronation crown than a tiara.
“Wow. Where do you get things like this?”
On Raon, taking off the soft, fluffy cat paw gloves he was wearing on one hand, admired the tiara as he placed it on his head.
The fan manager behind him adjusted the slightly crooked angle with almost supernatural precision, and the shutter sounds were louder than ever.
“…”
Yoon Seon-woo, who had intended to make a joke like ‘My sister overthrew a kingdom and stole it for you,’ was momentarily dazed by the sight of On Raon embodying a dethroned prince in real life.
On the other hand, he was relieved that On Raon didn’t seem to have any aversion to the tiara.
Some people disliked items classified as ‘princess items’ or ‘wedding items,’ so he had been worried while preparing the tiara.
He had put a lot of thought into choosing something that was not too small, not too fancy, not too gaudy, and not childish.
Initially, he had even considered looking for a male crown, but he couldn’t find anything satisfactory.
Unfortunately, since it wasn’t possible to keep it fixed during the signing, On Raon had to carefully place the tiara back on the table after trying it on.
“Sorry, I think I might break it. I’ll try it again during the photo time after the signing.”
Yoon Seon-woo, who had been worried about not getting a photo even though the tiara suited On Raon as if he was born with it, was completely relieved by those words.
“But these gems aren’t real, right?”
“They are real.”
“!”
“Just kidding.”
It was fun to tease.

The fan signing event, which lasted for three hours, ended successfully.
If it were possible to rate Orca’s fan signing event like a restaurant, it would have received five stars 100 times.
Reviews of Orca’s first fan signing event started pouring in on social media.
– Orca Mokdong fan signing review: Yohan is a fox.
– Kangju talked a lot like a friend you met at a good restaurant (I firmly believe that this person will not go to a cafe but will choose good restaurants for all 123 rounds). I asked if it was better to order or cook kimchi fried rice myself, and he said it’s much better to cook it to your own taste and promised to share Kangju’s kimchi fried rice recipe later. He even told me not to skip meals, which made me feel like I was talking to my mom…
– Seongha is much more physically impressive, gentler, and more talkative than I thought. He smiled like a big puppy, and I was just dead on the spot.
– 4. Seongha
Puppy: Wow, you dressed so well! You could get a job as our stylist. I’m interested in this field too, so I pay attention to my outfits even during practice. Doesn’t it feel good to see yourself in well-fitting clothes in the mirror? Actually, I feel good. (He was genuinely proud and very cute.) But Jiwoo doesn’t care about clothes the most among food, clothing, and shelter, so every time I see him…
### Genius Idol’s Strategy to Conquer
**Chapter 133 (Continued)**
너무 답답해요. 제가 맨날 뭐라고 하는데도 아직도 그래요. 내가 날 잡아서 무릎 나온 바지들 다 태워버릴 거에요.
Fan manager: Please move on.
It’s not an exaggeration, this was how it was… The surprising thing is that there were even words omitted there… He talked so much that I didn’t even get a chance to say “Really?”. His way of speaking was so cute, like a clueless puppy. ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ Is this really the same physical genius who exuded charisma on stage? This older sister is crazy about the gap!!
– Why are all the younger line rapping like crazyㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Seongha-Raon line is really the zone where you let your guard down and get mesmerizedㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ If you ask Seongha one thing, he goes off on a tangent, and just when you think Raon is listening well, he gets busier asking the fan somethingㅋㅋㅋㅋ If you read the reviews, they’re all like thatㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
– (Photo) I asked Gyeol to draw an animal he thinks I resemble, and it was way higher quality than I expectedㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ He quickly drew a koala, and I keep giggling whenever I look at it at homeㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Ah, why is it so cuteㅋㅋㅋㅠㅠ
– Yohan: Is there something you want to know?
Me: Yesㅠㅠㅠㅠ
Yohan: Hmm, my name is written in Chinese characters.
Me: Wow, really?
Yohan: Yes, if I don’t say it, everyone thinks it’s a religious name~
He wrote “Yo” from “bright” and “Han” from “leisurely” on the post-it with such confidence that I was just flooredㅠㅠㅠ
– Hooㅠㅠㅠ I was so nervous that I couldn’t say a word, but Gyeol held my hand and waited quietly, so I could say everything I had prepared. His calm gaze made me almost walk down the aisle with him right there.
– The members never let the sound go silent. If there was even a brief pause, the member sitting next to them would jump in and say somethingㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Even though they were obviously nervous, they said everything they wanted toㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ It was so much fun, and you could see they tried hard to make us happy. I don’t regret spending money at all. I want to go again, but I wonder if I can…
Lots of photos of the members wearing various props were uploaded.
Fans who couldn’t attend the fan signing event consoled themselves by saving all the beautifully edited photos they could find.
– (Photo) Who gave Gyeol the face chain and leather gloves? His outfit today was kind of like a suit but not a suit, and it was thrilling on stage. It suited him so wellㅠㅠ
– (Photo) Gyun Seong-ha dressed in a police hat and uniform… He could have filmed a hundred episodes of a genre drama already. Please make our boy act in dramas.
– (Photo) The nameplate for “CEO Ban Yohan”
– (Gif of Kang Ji-woo wearing a small red ribbon headband pretending to bite an apple) From today, Snow White has been renamed Snow Kang. If you object, eat 100 poisoned apples.
