Unlike a moment ago—when he’d looked like a man coasting lazily through life—once Lee Seonjin actually kicked off the meeting, he was serious. So serious he seemed like a completely different person from before; if not for the leftover slices of tuna sashimi sitting in front of him, it might have felt even more that way.Shouldn’t we clear the table…?It wasn’t exactly a mess, but it did look chaotic. Sharp-eyed servers came to clear the dishes, but thick-headed Lee Seonjin firmly told them no one was to come in—important talk from here on. Ha. No matter how upscale the place, a sushi joint was a sushi joint; feeling that keenly, Sihyeon could only stare at the face of Lee Seonjin, who was pouring out his passion, with a look that was a little bored and a little at a loss.Whether he’d prepped it in advance or not, Lee Seonjin pulled out a tablet PC and, while showing stats and images sorted a dozen ways, started spouting words Sihyeon couldn’t parse. Streams, charts, fandoms—once talk got deeper, the members’ postures grew serious too. He couldn’t follow it well, but he caught that it was about their group.“This comeback is going to be a major turning point for you. Yeah? You know that, right—how important it is.”“……….”“Honestly, it’s not an exaggeration to say we’ve been running for this timing alone. Your group itself started as a theme project, half experiment, half expectation, and I was worried a lot, to tell the truth—thanks for keeping up so well all the way here.”“President….”“We made a lot of money.”We already know, so could you shut it and just keep that to yourself. The sparkly, moved look on Rajoon’s face turned into an awkward grin at the next thing out of Lee Seonjin’s mouth, and Euihyun muttered something unprintable. That president—frank yet mercenary, mercenary yet somehow slippery—always had that one line that was the problem. Even so, he was surprisingly generous about money issues with his artists. Impossible to pin down.“So, bottom line: your concept this time is decadence.”“Wow….”“Layer in provocative and sexy, but also lazy and sensuous….”“……….”“In short: empty the fans’ bank accounts. Stick in a straw the size of a bamboo stalk, huh? Pull yourselves a new apartment.”What are we, bank robbers…? Whether he noticed the members’ faces rotting by degrees or not, Lee Seonjin didn’t stop. “Got it? The time has finally come for your name to mean something—ha ha ha ha! Warm, wholesome big-brother concept? I’m-your-one-and-only boyfriend? Don’t need any of it. From now on you just run wild, dissolute! I’ve been waiting two years for this. You’re going to devour the charts this time! Sick, right? Once you show why you’re Lemegeton, more fans gather; more fans means your stock rises; your stock rises and our company stock rises! Then I get money! Ha… I wish you were coming back tomorrow. I’m buzzing here. It’s going to blow up—no, beyond a blow-up, a lottery win! It’s certain! Ha ha ha ha!”“……….”I probably shouldn’t throw the tuna in his face, right…?With that lunatic practically scrawled across Euihyun’s forehead, he stared between the tuna in front of him and the still-booming face of Lee Seonjin, hesitating. Around the same time, Sihyeon hit a question of his own. He’d heard it a lot—your name value, what Lemegeton means—both last time and now, but he had no idea.No matter how he turned it over, the word felt foreign.Watching Lee Seonjin flounder in the tide of his own great ambition with an amused face, Sanyoo must have caught Sihyeon’s puzzlement. He dipped his head and, with a gentle smile, spoke.“Why?”At that, Sihyeon looked at Sanyoo a moment and slowly opened his mouth. “…I don’t know what it means to say our name means something. Or what Lemegeton means.” At the words, Sanyoo’s face went Hmm? for a beat, then he let out a small ha ha! It made sense that Sihyeon, who knew nothing, wouldn’t understand what this president was going on about.Thinking how he must have been chewing on it alone the whole time made it feel…weirdly cute. He laughed without meaning to; Sihyeon, who might well have been offended, only looked silently at Sanyoo’s smiling face. The way he blinked a few times was pretty, and Sanyoo barely managed to stop smiling. “Sorry,” he said, and smoothed the back of Sihyeon’s head with his hand.Sihyeon blinked again, wordless. Watching that face with care, mouth tipped at the corner, Sanyoo said, “Hold on,” and pulled out his phone.“It’ll be easier to understand if you read a fan post than if I explain it. Mm… ah. Here it is. Look.”He searched and scrolled for a few minutes, then suddenly held it out to Sihyeon. It was still a meeting—even if it was only names being tossed around—so he hesitated to grab his phone, but Sanyoo, whose read on people rivaled Chan’s, added kindly, “It’s okay. This is the president’s delusion time. He’ll be burning by himself for a while.” At that, Sihyeon glanced over; the president was still rhapsodizing—bank accounts! money! the charts!—painting fevered future projections.It clearly wasn’t ending anytime soon. Sihyeon dropped his eyes to the screen of Sanyoo’s phone.***[Lemegeton] 1X1025 Lemegeton Stage Names Explained, Member Profiles, Theme Concept—One-Stop Roundup!!Hello, my Soulmates (wink)Today I’m here not for core Lemegeton diehards like me, but for you fresh little newbie Soulmates who got recruited by this album’s title track, “Lax”…! Haha, welcome… first time with Lemegeton, right…? If you’ve made it here, relax your hearts and get ready to hand over your bank PINs to the boys, okay ^_^ … then everything gets easier, and when your paycheck comes in, you’ll be like, “Ah, my boys’ money got auto-transferred into my account for a sec…★” That’s the basic Soulmate mindset you’ll develop….. ha ha…….. :’) …Okay, down to business… (wipes tears)First, our boys’ group name Lemegeton (The Lemegeton) means the Lesser Key of Solomon—simply put, it’s the grimoire that locked up the 72 demons King Solomon sealed, and sometimes commanded! There was a lot of ❖ Nоvеl𝚒ght ❖ (Exclusive on Nоvеl𝚒ght) talk at debut about this (since it’s tied to religion…), but both the boys and the company made it clear there’s no meaning of demon worship or religion; it’s more like: “we’ll enchant you with demon-like charm”… which is kinda cringey but, let’s be real, un-refutable… Their debut concept was warm ‘your men’ and, even as rookies, their smackdown stages and skills shut everyone up, or so the story goes… As expected… my men… ★That’s why our fandom name is Soulmates! FYI, Lemegeton’s official color is Pearl Dark Orchid, so keep that in mind, OKAY!True to the name, our boys’ stage names are the names of de—m—o—n—s lololololololol. Yep, five of the 72 demons sealed in the Lemegeton… smh… it reeks of edge-lord teen vibes, but as their doormat I will simply shut my mouth. Still, our boys are hot, okay T_T…! It’s not cringey at all…! Look at their faces…! (inserts my bias’s radiant holy smile pic) (adds a clip of our leader scowling and muttering curses) (our Serre’s mischievous dance vid) (Ose’s scandalously sexy photos even though he’s still underage) (Kaim fan-cam: SSSSSS-tier looks)Man, our boys might not even be human,,,Anyway, here are the profiles and stage-name explanations for our otherworldly boys ↓↓↓↓↓First is Lee Sanyoo! Stage name Zepar, age 23, 185 cm.Most of us call him Je-oppa (companion product: Je-bosal). Gentle, smooth, and somehow skilled—always smiling, but there’s a killer rumor that he’s actually got a mean streak… (thump-thump…) His charm point: he’s the CEO of “teasing the leader” lol, the standard-bearer lolol. Watching Je-oppa roast Amon with that kind face—mmm, the scent of black-hearted mastermind ★ He looks like the leader, but he’s not. (Rumor says the CEO asked him to take the leader role at debut, but he ducked it because he hates wearing a crown…)Zepar is a soldier in red armor who can change a woman’s heart at will! He can make any mediocre man fall madly in love—but our boy is anything but mediocre =X lololol They say if you summon Zepar, men or women both turn into lewd, shameless creatures… maybe that’s why I have no shame >< hehSecond is Kang Euihyun! Stage name Amon, age 23, 174 cm.Nickname Mon-mon. If you call him Agumon, rumor says you get real-time swearing (companion product: jokes about his height… talk height and he bites… beware…). He’s hot-blooded and explosive, but he cools off fast and is big-hearted. Our mood-driven, quintessential rapper Amon is, believe it or not, Lemegeton’s leader… He looks wild, but rumor says he’s a tsundere who triggers the collector in you. He and Zepar are always snarling at each other, so that pairing always thrives… ★Amon means a strict governor, the unfathomable one; he’s said to have an owl’s head, a wolf’s body, and a serpent’s tail! He used to be an Egyptian god and then got demon-ified~~~ He sees past and future, so he can advise on love or reconciliation! (But our boy is probably hopeless at dating T_T) If the summoner wants, he can appear as a human, but then he breathes fire lolol—see? Agumon (whisper whisper)Third is Lee Sihyeon… stage name Kaim, age 22, 181 cm.Nothing more to say: the group’s visual tyrant… he just drinks water and the sex-appeal meter explodes (word is the real-life visuals are even better…)… but… ha… detailed explanation is… sk…ipped…… T_T … ★Still, to add a bit: Kaim usually appears as a small bird, or a human with birdlike features. In heaven he was a low-rank angel, but in hell he’s high-rank—that lore drove everyone insane, okay ★ He’s said to be eloquent, unbeatable in spouting sophistry—if only our Kaim were eloquent, damn T_T sob…Fourth is Seo Rajoon! Stage name Serre, age 20, 184 cm.The sanctuary of the group! Our cutie T_T Nicknames abound: Kaim’s worshipper, big puppy, Serretriever, “my baby” (…) etc. As you all know, our Serre is a lover of the fans… a dancing machine, mischievous… that height! that build! He’s so gentle that when he’s flustered his eyes quake—ultimate moe point ★ There is a youngest, but anyone would mistake him for the maknae ahhh kawaii… A notable point: for reasons unknown, he’s worshipped Kaim since debut… (but Kaim, in turn, thoroughly ignores him—bad end T_T…)Serre appears as a man with long blond hair, riding a winged horse T_T too perfect T_T He can do anything—blink and wishes come true; with the power to bring luck, good things happen to the summoner even if he does nothing T_T At this point the lore is simply tailor-made… flawless…!Last is Yoo Chan! Stage name Ose, age 19, 188 cm.That’s right! Believe it or not, the maknae is Ose lolololol. Still underage… just a few months to go ^_^ He talks so little he’s called a folding screen. For the youngest, he has the most eldest energy and legs-for-days (Mon-mon…). His face screams ice-cold, ironclad—like he’s frigid and unapproachable—but the twist is he takes care of people so well. If he considers you his, Ose’s attentiveness surpasses even a mother’s, they say T_T (I perish). People around him swear he’s super touchy-feely, but he’s barely aware of it… What goes on in that head… Ose… why are you underage… ★(As someone whose absolute fave is Ose, allow me to add: ^_^ Last time, Je-oppa said on radio that Ose’s IQ is on another level T_T Ose had to juggle school and broadcasts on a brutal schedule because he’s underage, but his grades were always top-tier; someone stealth-snapped his mock-exam scores—a wall of A’s—and it blew up, then he said he’s not going to college → when asked “Won’t you regret it?” he went, “I can go when I want,” like it was no big deal; that stirred talk for a sec, but students at Ose’s school defended him hard and it ended T_T Ose’s family being loaded is already famous, so honestly why he’s doing idol work is a mystery—but the conclusion is the only thing Ose can’t do is variety T_T… pain…)Ose is said to be a noble, beautiful leopard, with green eyes and red rosettes—this canon wrecked many a fan’s heart T_T Some say he rides a big, beautiful leopard rather than is one, but whatever he does is perfection…. He’s fierce and dangerous, but if handled well, he’ll reveal hidden things or teach you secrets… Did Solomon write this just to set my heart on fire, why T_Tsniff T_T Look! Look! Our boys aren’t cringey at all! (insists)(insists)(in/sists) lolololol sorry… I… am their hopeless slave… I go around forcing people like this every day… I repent… consider this my reflection paper… T_T sob…Anyway, our irresistibly bewitching Lemegeton is a theme project idol group MR Entertainment prepared with ambition…! What’s that mean..? Simply, they have a single title and release mini-albums and concepts in story format to match it T_T dear God, those faces, those personalities, and the title is demons… I truly bow three thousand times to our CEO… thank you… thank you… take my bank account…(wipes tears again) (sniff…)So! To understand the current album “Lax,” it helps to know the previous ones. For my newly converted friends, I summarized them myself ^_^~! It’s just the title track lyrics summarized, but this alone tells you how the story flows~!Our boys’ 1st album “Watch Me” = Hey, look over here a sec—where else will you see guys like us? You won’t even be able to turn your eyes; you’ll zone out and stare forever. Even if you ask where we were and why we showed up now—Bang! I’m here for you. Hey, make room by your side; that’s my seat.Then the 2nd album “Look at Me Here” = The moment you get a chance, you always look away; you score a long line somewhere inside me. Look at, me me. Think about who made me like this. You called me here. Maybe your very own me—the me who wanted nothing.The 3rd album “Double Aspect” = You keep catching the parts I couldn’t refine; you’re the one who says I’m strange. I believe it’s just us two in this world, girl—no love is a crime, and neither is the way I think of you. I hang the portrait of you laughing and crying. Even if you call it a crime—if you say so—I say I can’t believe in that anymore, but even so I—The 4th album “Lax” = To me, we’re too tight, too stifling; I can’t shake the feeling of living with a leash cinched tight. Want me to show you something more fun? I’ll show you something slower and more pleasurable, pretty. Come here. From now on you’ll be submerged in me. I’ll guide you. We’ll be submerged forever and enjoy what no one else knows. You definitely won’t get out. You won’t escape. I already know.ha…Even just the album summaries and I’m dead, our boys kill me T_T (I’m having a heart attack as I type) T_T As you noticed reading, our boys are descending T_T They debuted on Album 1 as warm, perfect “your men,” then from Album 2 something felt off; in Album 3 suddenly bad boy vibes, and in Album 4 it all exploded. That’s right, everyone T_T They came out languid and fatal and got my heart. T_T What the hell is it that “no one else knows,” huh?? I couldn’t sleep from the teaser, and after the comeback stage I really couldn’t sleep… They all ate the Fatal-Languor Fruit together and came to kill me T_T My God T_TThey’re at full potential now; as for the next album, I can both guess and not guess, cries ^_^…How do I even end this…?I don’t know, so here—finishing with long-legged pics of our Ose turning the walk-out from work into a runway… ★(1X1020_01.gif)(1X1020_02.gif)Comments (854)·5959 Thanks for writing this, cutie… ♥└ op) Did I do good ^_^?└ Yup! So nice at a glance b└ You’re cute lol thanks for the work pat pat T_T·Insane—the album summaries are almost all actual lyrics and I’m blown away T_T Please give us a full album T_T└ Your words = mine T_T what even is that T_T└ I got hooked at “Look at Me Here,” but didn’t know I’d turn into this kind of sticky stan. Collecting each release makes me so happy T_T└ We’ll go pull your favorite thing—money—so please make more merch, CEO T_T truly amen T_T·Soulmates, I’m new—why is Kaim’s explanation skipped?└ Uh… yeah… that… the next person will explain…└ Mm… right… the next person…└ The next… person……└ Right… the next…└ da… um………└ (silence all around)·Past me, who laughed my ass off at their concept the first time, is still getting beaten up.└ So it’s ongoing LMAO└ (looks at me getting beaten too)└ God, but it’s so true—when a friend tried to recruit me at first, I saw Lemegeton’s concept and was, like, “Cringe black-dragon edgelord~~~” and cackled└ lol but isn’t that… all of us ^^,,,└ Don’t sucker punch me like this T_T·Ose is so handsome it’s absurd…└ But how did he maintain A-levels with that hell schedule? Sometimes on live he’d just read the workbook instead of solving it and it was cute, but then the report card gave me chills T_T What can’t he do, seriously└ Variety T_T└ lololololol└ Let’s be satisfied with young-and-handsome, big-and-rich ^^!***After reading the long post closely, Sihyeon’s expression was complicated. I learned everything I wanted to know, but I don’t feel at ease…. He had never imagined it would mean demons and grimoires; staring seriously at the end of the scroll, not sure how to react, he heard Sanyoo speak with a laugh beside him.“You don’t know how to react, right? It’s okay—we were the same at first.”“Ah….”“Euihyun looked like he was going to smash everything to escape the cringe, Rajoon was spaced out, and Chan didn’t say much either, but his eyes said, are they insane? Ha ha!”“And back then, you didn’t say anything either.” As soon as Sanyoo added that softly, at last freed from his fugue, Lee Seonjin started explaining this and that about the album concept again. Themes in the lyrics, stage approach, the feel of the outfits; rest up now so you can jump straight into choreo and vocal practice when the song drops—that’s how the ridiculous sushi-joint meeting ended.He was the kind of man who drained you just by proximity.On the way out, they felt glances flick their way here and there, but no one bothered to acknowledge them, and Sihyeon, thinking of the drama shoot tomorrow, followed in the members’ wake. Was it the scene where he meets the female lead? He was half-enlightened, running the lines he’d memorized whole, when—“Lee Sihyeon.”Lee Seonjin’s quiet voice slipped down his back.
