Surprise!

The Life of the Sixth Member

"Hello, Luvies! Are you surprised?" You started recording with the camera showing your face, a smirk painted on your lips. 

"I know you guys have been missing Red Velvet so I'm here to try and make everything better!" You gave the audience a sincere smile, dimple showing and eyes turning into crescents. 

You had decided to start your own series that you originally planned to upload on your own Youtube channel. After talking to the staff, the company agreed to have you open your own channel in the expense of your freedom (they would have much control over it), so you thought it would be better to upload the videos on the group's official channel instead, as a way to promote the channel even more.

If the company isn't going to do much then you were going to take control over promotion yourself. 

"Right now I'm in my room, as most of you would be familiar with," you panned the camera around the room to show the aesthetic you had going on. Your room was very much you off-camera: simple, modern, but homey. The furniture in the room were mostly light wood with touches of light grey and navy around the room. The audience saw how one of the walls was painted navy blue and was acting as a gallery wall for your photos, posters, and the plaques Red Velvet had acquired throughout the year. There was also a clear case filled with Red Velvet trophies, which made the fan cooed because of how proud you were of your group. 

You panned the camera back towards you. "The members are here as well and I think Luvies had been waiting long enough for a room tour, so," you proceeded to get up from your bed, walking towards the door. "If they are okay with it I'll show you each room!"

You first went towards Irene's simply because it was the closest to yours. You knocked on the door with your series of knocks, hearing a "Yes, Eli-ah?" which made you open the door slightly. You poked your head in to find Irene sitting on the floor, folding up her laundry. She looked up with a warm smile on her face. 

"Hyun-unnie! I'm vlogging for Luvies and I want to show the members' rooms and I had shown mine," you gave her a grin. "Would you allow me to show your room?" 

Irene looked confused for a little before nodding, finishing up her folding. "Anything for you~" she answered in a cute voice which made you and the audience squeal. You opened the door wider so you could go through and went to her side to pinch her cheek, the camera showing her fresh bare face. "You're too cute for your own good, Unnie." 

Irene glared playfully, slapping your stomach. "Yah, what are you saying." 

You giggled before turning your attention back to the camera, giving the audience a clear but quick view of the leader's room. It was as expected with how the room was decorated nicely with touches of purple on her bed and throughout the bedroom. There was a gallery corner in the room and you went closer to it, showing the audience the photos and knick-knacks she had on display. There was one familiar book with her name written nicely on it. 

Irene went ahead and picked it up, showing it to the camera. "This is the scrapbook Eli gave me for one of my birthdays." She gave an excited grin and looked down at the book, starting to open it. "I can show you a few of the photos in here." 

You zoomed in so everyone would have a clear view as Irene showed numerous pictures on said book, the audience noticing the sweet messages and drawings surrounding most of the photos.

"This is one of my favourite gifts from anyone, ever," Irene looked up at you and gave you a loving gaze, making you melt. "Thank you, Eli." 

You smiled back warmly, taking her figure into your embrace. "It was my pleasure, Unnie." The audience could hear you kissing her head before you pulled back from the hug, the camera back to showing Irene's face. 

"Thank you for the tour, Unnie! I'll be going to Wan-unnie's room now." 

Irene smiled at the camera whilst waving. "Thank you for coming by!" She kissed your cheek just before you walked out of the room, you squeezing her hand in return.

 

You proceeded to make a trip to everyone's room, capturing the difference perfectly. Wendy welcomed you into her room with a warm smile, giving the audience a tour of what was inside. Her room reflected the person she was off-stage: simple and clean with warmth excluding from it. The room was also filled with the different message machines she had gotten from the fans, which you had wanted to try for a while. You left with a hug and a promise of trying out her most favourite message machine. Next was Joy's, and it showcased her elegance with touches of gold, dark red and dark green. She also gave the fans a quick tour of her wardrobe with her showing the matching sweatshirt you both got from that one shopping trip. 

"It's my couple item with Eli!" Joy smiled with her eyes closed, prompting you to pinch her chubby cheek teasingly. 

Your eyes widened as you got an idea, turning the camera on you. "Would you like to see us with it on? Together?" 

Joy nodded frantically. "That's a good idea! Let's take a picture to show later." 

A promise was a promise and you put the picture in the video, making the fans giggle with how cute the two of you were. 

After Joy's room came the maknae's room and compared to the rest of the bedrooms, hers was the most colourful out of all, filled with posters and things she cherished scattered throughout the room. There was a wall full of polaroids she had taken throughout the year and you zoomed in on some of them, which allowed the fans to catch a glimpse of Yeri's friendship with other people both in and out of the industry. Last but definitely not least, you walked towards Seulgi's room and just had to show the rows of clothes she had out in the hallway. Seulgi offered to get the smallest room in the dorm but on one condition, which was to have the hallway acting as her wardrobe. The rest of the members even helped put up the racks and organised the 'closet', which made Seulgi happy. 

"Here we are," you had the camera on your face. "Let's see what Unnie's up to." 

You then knocked on the door and not too long after, Seulgi herself opened the door. She gave you her signature big smile as she saw you. "Dongsaeng-ah!" 

She wrapped her arms around your waist in a hug and you hugged her back, one arm around her shoulder and the other one still holding the camera. The fans cooed when they saw the interaction and how effortlessly Seulgi called you her little sister. 

"Are you filming something?" Her muffled voice came from your chest and you chuckled, pulling back slightly from the hug to face her instead. 

"I'm showing Luvies our rooms and I know you already gave them a tour once but would you mind giving them another tour?" 

Seulgi giggled and took your hand in hers, pulling you inside. "Of course!" 

She proceeded to give you and the fans a tour around her tiny but cosy room, showing her collection of vinyls and drawings she had made. There was also a picture of you and her and her and Wendy up on her board, which you pointed at. 

"That's my favourite picture of me and Seungwannie! A fan took it and I thought it was nice." 

You smiled, thinking about how cute your first sister was. "You guys looked so cute!" 

Seulgi grinned in response, showing another one of hers and you which was also taken by a fan. Your fansite, to be precise. "And there's us! I loved that picture so much and it was the first picture I put up there." 

You were touched that she cherished your relationship that much. "Really, Unnie?" 

"Of course, Eli-ah! You know I don't lie~" The camera captured her signature warm smile where her eyes were closed and her cheeks squished. You couldn't resist hugging her. 

"You're too sweet, Unnie. Thank you." 

After you pulled back from the hug, Seulgi pouted up at you. "Eli-ah, I'm hungry." 

You smiled and kissed the top of her head, already knowing what she wanted. "Let's go then, I'll cook." 

"Yay!" She cheered happily and you laughed, shaking your head in amusement. 

"Well, that's it for this video! If you have any suggestions on what you want to see or want me to do, please leave a comment below. Thank you for watching and I love you Luvies!" 

You ended the video with your signature sweet but charming smile, making the fans swoon. 

Always the charmer.

Hi, everyone! I'm sorry for being so absent these past few months or even a year. I've been dealing with a lot and every time I open a new chapter to write, I always lose the creativity T_T I'm so sorry. Recently, I've just lost an uncle who loved me very much and I've been dealing with the loss. Thank you for always reaching out to me and waiting for a new chapter, I promise I will try to write soon. I also apologise for not replying to your comments, the website is not allowing me to do so I'm not sure why so I just write it here. I really appreciate all of you and I hope we can be here enjoying the stories I write for a long time. Thank you and I hope I'll see you soon ❤️
