Why Yuna Shin Is Like This

"Why couldn't it be him?"

Shin Yuna countered with a question, leaving Hwang Yeji with an indescribable feeling that was hard to put into words.

"Oh! I forgot to congratulate Yunhui oppa on the massive success of his new drama!"

As the plot of *The Penthouse* got on track, its ratings steadily climbed. As the blockbuster year-end drama heavily backed by SBS, various promotional campaigns rolled out in succession.

The name Yoon Yunhui finally spread widely, and his Instagram also gained its very first batch of fans as an artist.

New fans stumbling upon Yoon Yunhui's Instagram account—which he had used for several years and filled with who knows how many posts—were left speechless for a moment.

Which actor plays social media like this?

Even though the so-called "relatable living person" persona is trendy these days, maybe we should still maintain a bit of a distance...

Scrolling through the posts one by one was simply too exhausting.

However, quite a few fans still chose to scroll through those few hundred posts because every few posts featured a handsome photo, making it feel like a treasure hunt.

There was no shortage of content material whatsoever; in fact, there was so much that people hardly knew where to begin.

Naturally, through his recent posts, the new fans quickly learned about Yoon Yunhui's identity as the student union president of Yonsei University, instantly connecting it to the little anecdotes from the previous school festival.

"The pride of Yonsei! The most handsome student union president in history!"

Although Yoon Yunhui's Instagram posts were numerous, almost treated like a personal moments feed, there was truly nothing unsavory in them.

He had hidden the posts featuring other people, leaving behind only the trajectory of his life since entering university.

Personal life, campus activities, charitable endeavors, and so on. The earliest post was a photo of his back from 2016, walking at the very front of a street protest for the very first time.

It held special commemorative significance.

Because that day happened to be his birthday, and it was also the event with the highest participation in the history of the entire movement.

Very few new fans scrolled back to this earliest post, and even if they saw it, they didn't process its meaning right away.

Yoon Yunhui hadn't written any captions, and the occasional comments in the comment section simply praised the work and offered mutual encouragement.

In short, Yoon Yunhui's Instagram follower count grew slowly and steadily.

In fact, on the way back, Shin Yuna had secretly followed Yoon Yunhui's Instagram, wanting to find out more about him.

None of the ITZY members currently had public Instagram accounts as artists, but were there any young people in the peninsula who didn't use Instagram?

Artists certainly had all kinds of secret accounts in private.

"..."

Watching Shin Yuna sit beside her, incessantly scrolling through her phone and talking about that man, Hwang Yeji felt a knot of discomfort in her chest.

"Is Actor Yoon really that great?"

"Mmm-hmm, unnie, don't you think Yunhui oppa fits my ideal type to a T?"

Shin Yuna, who was still a minor, didn't hesitate at all when discussing adult topics.

The ideal type she spoke of referred to her romantic preferences, not the simple, childish crushes typical of younger kids.

"He's well-spoken, considerate and attentive, has the face of a wolf, but possesses a sweet smile."

Shin Yuna began describing her ideal type using the kind of expressions young people like her used, completely unaware that Hwang Yeji's complexion beside her was turning darker and darker.

"Isn't that a contradiction? If he has a wolf-like appearance, how can his smile be sweet?"

Hwang Yeji couldn't help but interject with a dry remark.

"Aish, unnie, you don't understand. Anyway, that's the vibe. You know, he's just visually refreshing!"

Shin Yuna couldn't find the exact words to describe it, even blurting out phrases like "visually refreshing."

Refreshing? What kind of refreshing was that?

"I don't know."

Hwang Yeji broke the mood for Shin Yuna, something she rarely did. She didn't know, and she didn't want to know.

"Huh?"

Shin Yuna had already sensed something was a bit off just a moment ago, and now she was completely certain. She straightened her posture:

"Unnie, could it be that you're, by any chance, jealous?"

"What on earth are you talking about?"

Hwang Yeji's surface-level defense crumbled at the first poke; she was simply no match for her athletic younger sister.

"Did unnie forget? There's a second half to my ideal type description~"

Shin Yuna found her unnie's reaction utterly amusing. She smiled and said:

"I don't like people who fall for me at first sight. I only like those who gradually fall in love with me through long-term companionship."

"Then I wish you blessings, Yuna. Become an MC, and you'll have plenty of long-term companionship."

Hwang Yeji's expression began to grow cold.

First of all, she wasn't into girls; second of all, her orientation was completely normal and she liked men; and lastly, the aforementioned two points did not contradict each other.

Hwang Yeji and Shin Yuna were exceptionally close—so close they shared the same blanket.

"Unnie!"

Shin Yuna was torn between laughter and tears. Her unnie was putting on an inexplicable cold-cold act again.

Clearly, Hwang Yeji was the passive one in their relationship dynamic.

"Can you listen to me finish?"

"Fine, go ahead."

Hwang Yeji wanted to see just what kind of nonsense the youngest member could come up with.

"What I mean is, an ideal type still requires romantic chemistry to actually spark. But unnie, you don't know this—the way Yunhui oppa looks at me is insane. It's identical to the way my dad looks at me."

"Pfft, hahaha."

Hwang Yeji burst out laughing.

"Truly worthy of being our underage youngest."

Shin Yuna was left speechless.

Yes, although Yoon Yunhui matched her aesthetic preferences perfectly, she had gradually come to realize that Yoon Yunhui's attitude toward her was entirely that of an adult teasing a child.

Even if Yoon Yunhui wasn't as exaggerated as she joked—harboring some sort of old-father mentality—it still didn't change the fact that he viewed her as a kid.

How on earth was romantic chemistry supposed to spark from that?!

Shin Yuna felt like crying without tears. Was being young a crime now, too?

"Actually, you could just make him wait until you're of legal age, right?"

At ease now, Hwang Yeji began to tease Shin Yuna. Refusing to fall into the trap, Shin Yuna replied:

"In a few days, Yunhui oppa is coming to our company, to our practice room. We have a special MC debut stage together, so he's coming over to practice with us."

"Oh, okay. That's fine."

This wasn't ITZY's first time doing a collaborative stage; other artists had visited their company and practice room before.

It wasn't a big deal.

ITZY had already made two comebacks this year, and their next comeback would likely be next year, so prioritizing current work came naturally.

As the youngest had just said, Yoon Yunhui treated her—an underage minor—like a child, which gave Hwang Yeji plenty of peace of mind.

"Just let him come to our practice room then. What are you two collaborating on? I'll help review it for you."

Hwang Yeji was extremely magnanimous, even proactively offering her assistance.

" *Any Song*. Yunhui oppa is an actor, you see, so he doesn't seem to have any dance foundation."

Shin Yuna was quite satisfied with this choice. A dance with the intensity of *Any Song* was merely a warm-up for her; she could channel her focus entirely into the stage presence—meaning looking both gorgeous and badass.

"No problem, I can help."

Hwang Yeji took the task straight onto her own shoulders. For the sake of the younger sister's stellar debut appearance as an MC, she was going to strictly supervise Yoon Yunhui's practice sessions.

If that guy messed up...

Hehe~

Hwang Yeji, acting like a little fox, revealed a wicked, mischievous smile, while Shin Yuna wore a look of triumphant satisfaction.

After all, she had four unnies covering for her!
