Chapter 22: Teenage Drifting(1/2)

 As time passed, SVT members were running commercials and guest appearances in variety shows. Suddenly one day Shiqi and the others received an invitation from a variety show.

The program production team is divided into two groups. One group is composed of Super Junior's Leeteuk, Eunhyuk, and Donghae who went to Switzerland in November 2014 to film "Super Junior's Beautiful Day", which focuses on travel reality content. The other group is responsible for providing

This is my first time participating in the filming of a variety show called Seventeen.

"A Beautiful Day" reminds me of the wonderful journeys of the senior groups. For example, "SHINee's Beautiful Day" includes various SHINee members who suddenly got a surprise vacation during the preparation of the new album. They visited Thailand, RB, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom.

The interesting travel stories that happened, and you can also enjoy the potential charm of tourist destinations in various places, making you feel as if you are traveling with SHINee.

As a group that several members in the group like, they have also watched their seniors’ variety shows and are very envious of such relaxing variety shows.

I didn’t expect that the members of Seventeen, who had just become idols, could participate in the same variety show as their predecessors, and it was also a variety show similar to travel. I couldn’t help but feel full of expectations, but unfortunately the result was cruel.

"A Beautiful Day - Seventeen", also known as "The Drifting Story of Fourteen"; mainly shoots the rural life of the members of Seventeen on a remote island.

It is completely different from the other group, easy and difficult, highlighting the real life of two different groups of artists in various environments.

Lirui Island, this unknown place, will from now on become the most profound memory point in Shen Baigui and his idol career.

Before the show started, the production team also asked SVT members about their thoughts and expectations during the variety show trip, and these formal inquiries filled the members' hearts with curiosity and joy.

"When we were trainees, we never went on a school trip. So we just stayed in the basement, really, just in the basement..." Soonrong and the members of the performance team said expectantly, hoping

Take a similar trip to make up for their regret of not having a school trip.

"SEVENTEEN's heart-warming outing, happy outing, comfortable outing, going to heaven..." The main vocal team prefers a relaxed atmosphere, and they are all children who like to get along quietly.

"SEVENTEEN's extreme adventure..." Mingyu expressed his thoughts and was disliked by the members. How could he go on an extreme adventure when he was clearly going on a trip? It is strongly recommended that Mingyu be separated from them.

Everyone answered their inner thoughts, and their busy schedules could not stop their thoughts. The children worked hard through practice and schedules, and were looking forward to the filming of the variety show.

……

Shunrong took a personal camera and kept wandering around the dormitory, taking pictures.

"Show Seventeen's real reality show, Seventeen's first broadcast without makeup."

While packing their things, the members also cheered and reacted to save face, so that Soonyoung would not have an awkward conversation by himself.

"It's not DK, it's Li Shuomin today."

"Hello everyone, I am not DK today, I am Li Shuomin."

"Want to take a look at Li Shuomin's luggage?"

Shunrong took the camera and approached Seokmin, who was sitting cross-legged on the floor wearing black-rimmed glasses and no makeup on his face. Then he put the camera close to the luggage and looked at the things packed in his suitcase.

……

Every child happily packed up and bowed, and took pictures and interacted awkwardly but hard. It can be seen that every member of SVT is very happy inside.

Arriving at the agreed place as promised, the program team started with a seafood feast, which made the children unbelievable and full of joy at the same time.

They usually either serve as background boards or as task tools. They still have too little experience in variety shows like this, which start with welfare. Although they have never filmed many variety shows.

I didn’t expect that the start of their trip would be a big meal. It was really great. Although some of the children’s family conditions were good, everyone still suffered a lot when they were trainees because of the occasional meal due to body management.

Good things are all extravagant hopes, and they are completely a history of bitterness.

Everyone was eating seafood happily. Shen Baigui was eating sashimi and sighed that the sauce here was pretty good, while observing the eyes of the production team.

When the members were almost done eating, the production team suddenly started asking questions. As time went by, the members lost their minds, as if something bad was about to happen. The development of this kind of conventional variety show is not suitable for travel variety shows.

Shouldn't there be a few countries and regions playing interesting mini-games, and the results of the mini-games will determine which overseas region to go to?

So far, it has been a routine process for variety shows, which is what SVT and the others are worried about. Except for a big meal, the show does not feel like traveling at all.

Especially when members answer questions correctly, the rewards given to members are seasickness pills. Such extraordinary rewards seem to imply that something bad will happen.

Jeonghan and Soonrong's expressions became more and more serious. They would get seasick. The development of the variety show was completely different from what the members expected. They seemed to have been deceived.

The members waited until they were taken to the shore of a ferry and finally accepted the cruel fact. They had really been deceived, any beautiful day was fake, and the travel variety show was all a lie to them.

The suitcases that the members happily prepared in the dormitory were useless. The crew only gave each member a small plastic bag, and they packed the things they wanted to take to the island within a limited time.

Shen Baigui watched the production team start timing after handing out the bags, as if they were going to do it for real, such a tense atmosphere.

"Dafa, it's totally like a survival show."

Shen Baigui hurriedly explained to Minghao, who didn't know what was going to happen and looked confused, and asked him to quickly pack the things he wanted to bring. The other members were trying their best to bring more things and trying their best.

Seungcheol and several other members played a little trick and hid small bags of snacks in the pockets of their clothes. Seungcheol also carried his backpack on his body and covered it with his clothes. Unfortunately, he was found on the boat, otherwise he would have spent his time on the island. It will feel better.

As soon as the time came, the people from the program team started to rush Shen Baigui and others to the ferry they were going to take. When all the members were on the boat, Seventeen's manager and accompanying staff did not follow them. It seemed that they were going to play. Really.

After three long hours, Shen Baigui and others finally arrived at their destination after suffering a lot of torture on the boat.

By the time Shen Baigui set foot on the island, it was already getting late, and they had to divide into three teams to explore and search for a place to live on this strange island.

In the end, their team was smarter and sent Minkui to ask the locals if any program crew would come to film, so they could quickly find the house they wanted to live in.

When the members arrived, everyone gathered together the snacks and instant coffee they had brought with them in the room, but found that they didn't bring much.

This was the first time they experienced such a thing. They even had to chop the firewood themselves, and it took them two hours to make the fire.

"It's burning, Fire!"

Shen Baigui and others were gathered around the stove, looking at the firewood burning inside, and suddenly felt moved to the point of tears. It was really not easy, how could they, a serious boy band, have ever experienced this?

When all the ramen and other food were put into the pot, I just had to wait to eat. As a result, the handle of the pot lid came off and a screw fell in.

"The screw fell in!..."

"Just eat it like this and treat it as iron."

There was a lot of chaos, but in the end I gave up on myself, and there are still so many worries in my mood, so just be careful.

Fourteen people each have a small bowl, and the food in the pot is almost gone.

During the interview session, it was Seungcheol’s turn to squat by the wall and be interviewed by Shunrong.

Shunrong asked what happened during the meal just now, "While eating..."

Seungcheol, who found the screws in the bowl, said, "I think it's lucky that it's me, and it's lucky that I'm there."

"As expected of our captain."

As the eldest brother of the group, Seungcheol is very serious and responsible, and often takes care of more than a dozen younger brothers, even though he is the youngest one in the family who needs to be taken care of.

……

On the first night when they came here, SVT ate all the food given by the program crew and the instant noodles they brought, and many members were not full yet.

It took 3 hours to cook and 3 minutes to eat.

What's even more sad is that there is no hot water in the bathroom, making it difficult to change clothes.

There are cameras all over the house, and it’s not easy to even change clothes and pants. Some cameras only captured the upper body and the clothes that were changed directly behind the body, and some were directly filmed changing pants under the quilt.

The next day it was because after finishing the food, Seungcheol, Jeonghan and his brothers said they were going fishing last night, so they had something to eat in the morning, otherwise they would have been hungry.

Because the program crew didn't provide breakfast, Soonrong and Shim Baekkyu couldn't help but roll their eyes. They shouldn't ask during meal time, it would affect their mood too much.

Among the seventeen members, Mingyu is probably the most skilled at cooking. He also learned how to handle the mackerel he caught for the first time. Sim Baekgyu and his brothers were watching Mingyu screaming and killing the fish. They all find it magical.

Shen Baigui watched for a while and felt that it was a bit wrong for an older brother to watch his younger brother's excitement, so he walked away.

The smell of fresh fish and hunger made Shen Baigui feel that this breakfast was very good. People who often cook are really good at cooking. He is worthy of being a person who even takes cooking classes during practice. There is no dispute, and everyone affirms it again. , unanimously decided that Minkyu would be the group’s chef.

Shen Baigui could only do something about it, or else he would go back to the house and stay in the yard while squatting and washing dishes.

Unexpectedly, the members who were wandering around the village were really good at it. They actually exchanged a bunch of food by doing cute dances and the like. Everyone was very happy at first, but in the end, they were forced to take it back by the program team.

This is really too miserable, even one piece of chocolate has to be eaten secretly by hiding it under the quilt. It is better for Shen Baigui to go to the door to watch, in case the production team sees it again and will be sanctioned.

The people in the program may have felt that it was too much, so they gave Shim Baek Kyu and the others a chance, and they would be rewarded with ingredients as long as they answered questions related to the members correctly.

We have lived together for so long and have a very good relationship with each other. The members really cannot be too familiar with each other. Whether they dislike or like each other, they all know it clearly.

According to what I know about the members, Sim Baek Kyu and the others have almost taken all the prizes, so they had two good meals.

There are still tasks to do every day, which is pretty good. Whether it's going fishing or helping with some work, those uncles not only provide their lunch but also give all the fruits of their work to Shen Baigui and the others.

Eating fresh seafood every day and experiencing the joy brought by his own labor, Shen Baigui looked at Yuanyou who had a bad stomach and was a little disgusted with the smell of sea food, but he still felt that he should learn some cooking skills, at least to be able to Eat the food you like, otherwise you can just watch.

Otherwise, while others eat seafood and you cook sugar cakes, it will be really miserable in comparison.

Fortunately, when Yuanyou went out to do a mission later, there were other foods and even fried chicken to eat.

The recording of the entire program was ups and downs, with moments of warmth and disappointment. Although it was not the kind of overseas travel that Shen Baekkyu and the others imagined, it was generally good.

The way each member gets along with each other, working together in the face of difficulties, and caring after a member gets sick, everyone seems to be a little more united.

After finishing the recording of the program, the program team felt that Seventeen's performance was very good and had a sense of variety show.

Of course, he was first deceived into living on a small island, and then made all kinds of difficulties. The seventeen-year-old child did not give up or complain. At most, he just rolled his eyes. That was really angry, and the gap between reality and expectations was so great. The program crew even lied to people and didn't even prepare breakfast. In the end, they just rolled their eyes, which is really a good temper. Of course, there is nothing to lose your temper with.

For the sake of the program’s effectiveness, everyone can tolerate this. As long as they don’t step on their ‘landmines’, everyone is quite easy-going and won’t lose their temper casually.

…………

Back at the dormitory, Shen Baigui took the first step to take a hot bath that he hadn't seen for a long time. Although the situation was better than that of the members who didn't bring any underwear, the benefits were limited.
