Summary:

Clips of Testar in the kpop youtube ecosystem.

Notes:

One of my unfortunate traits is that when I watch any video with kpop idols on youtube my brain is like 'this could be Testar' and then sometimes I write it. And sometimes what I write is enough for a whole fic but sometimes I just lose steam and only write a little bit, and then that bit sits in my drafts all lonely and wailing for attention. So I thought I would share them here.

This chapter is a glimpse into what it might be like if Testar went on the GQ channel to do one of their Actually Us videos. The premise is that groups anonymously post answers to fan questions on social media. If you want more context, I think it was this Stray Kids video that inspired me.

Chapter 1: GQ | Actually US

Chapter Text

The video opens cold with the members sitting in two rows in front of a blank, inoffensive background, with a laptop open in front of Eugene in the center. Ahyeon, leaning forward, reads from it in his shy, French-accented English.

“‘Who is the best at English in Testar?’”

“As you can see, Ahyeon hyung is really good!” Eugene says cheerfully – broad, sunny, vaguely-Californian American accent on full display as he talks while typing on the laptop. “Oh, and Moondae hyung got so good at it so fast! I was really impressed.”

“Thanks,” Moondae says, looking amused. The members exchange looks while Eugene writes that down and reviews what he wrote. It’s displayed on the side of the video for the viewers to see as well. “Ahyeon hyung is great… Moondae hyung learned it really fast… okay, anyone else want to nominate someone?”

When no one responds, he clicks and says, “Alright, send!”

Bae Sejin fails to disguise a snort of laughter as a cough, and Eugene twists in his seat, beaming around to see why everyone’s so quiet. “Haha, what’s wrong? Are you guys jeal–” His grin drops with sudden outrage. “Wait a minute, it’s me!”

The members around him explode with laughter as Eugene shouts, “I’m the best at English! Why didn’t anyone remind me?!”


[We had Testar create real accounts and go undercover online.]

“Who’s the cutest?”

“Moondae!” Keun Sejin shouts. “He has permanent baby cheeks!”

Moondae’s quiet suggestion of Ahyeon is covered by a much louder, “Kim Raebin, he’s really a baby!”

In retaliation, Raebin shouts, “Cha Eugene is cute! He thinks he’s cool but he’s just cute!”

“I think Bae Sejin has an underrated cuteness,” Chungwoo puts in. Then the quick volley of cute accusations dies out as they all lean forward to watch Eugene transcribing their answers.

Before he can hit send, Keun Sejin suddenly jerks his head up. “Hey, how come no one’s said me?!”

“You wish you were cute,” Moondae mutters.

The final post reads: “Moondae or Raebin or not Eugene or Bae Sejin. or Lee Sejin (according to Lee Sejin)”
