Wow first of all, apologies for forgetting how time works. I was convinced that the opening post should be a full 24h after it should have been, and when I realized that I didn't have time to set everything up.

In any case, here it is now! vixxmas 2022 is now OPEN!



Quick recap of the rules!

"C'mon, Wonshik, you literally own a label, how hard can it be?" Hakyeon says, in his most parent voice.

"It's not really the idol man-group kind of label!" Wonshik whines.

But he sounds worn out. Hakyeon deals the final blow.

"Jaehwan would be so happy though, imagine all the songs you can write for him?"

"I can write songs for Jaehwan now. But Wonshik sounds resigned. Hakyeon has almost won.

Step three: secure a label. Complete.

"How do you plan on ungluing Hongbin from twitch anyway?" Wonshik asks.

Hakyeon grins, somewhat miffed that Wonshik can't see the pride on his face right now. "Already dealt with. I pulled some strings to have his internet cut right as Sanghyuk conveniently offered to catch up, so now they're staying together while Hongbin's internet is fixed."

That was step two. One was bribing Sanghyuk to go along with it (surprisingly easy, all things considered).

"You're worse than Taekwoon," Wonshik says after a long moment.

"I am more persuasive than Taekwoon," Hakyeon corrects.

"Of course, hyung." Wonshik agrees, even if his tone points to anything but. "See you at the office when you get the others."

The line goes dead.

Time for step four: gather everyone, convince them that a grand return is a GREAT idea, then... Song. New name. Lots of things for step five.

And then step six, and probably the hardest one - make people care again.

"I'm kind of offended that you just decided that I'd be up for it." Jaehwan huffs over a shot glass.

Hakyeon raises an eyebrow. "Are you not?"

Jaehwan drinks instead, with Taekwoon laughing on the other side of the coach.

*

At the end of the day, despite the careful scheming, what happens is this: they get together, they get drunk, and Jaehwan has the amazing idea to go live.

It takes approximately three minutes for Taekwoon to utter the words "redebut meeting" and approximately five more for the viewer count to double in size.

Well. They still have step five to go through, but at least step six is taken care of.
