Dawn of Apollo

INTERVAL part 1

INTERVAL part 1

Mar 08, 2026

Interval

[Well, we are now at the next installment and we must sincerely apologize. It appears that we no longer have a sufficient number of Apollo members in the studio to discuss the next chapter. At the moment, it is only Sunny and Jungmo.]

JUNGMO: Hahaha!

[Also, Jungmo is seriously ill.]

SUNNY: Uhhh...is something funny?

[Jungmo covers his gratuitous giggling with one long hand, and gives Sunny a pained look. Slowly, the corner of Sunny's insolent lip starts to curl upwards.]

SUNNY: Actually...it is pretty hilarious!

[Sunny stands up - or rather leaps up - and waves his arms in the empty space.]

SUNNY: Oh man, what? They're all gone! What in the melodrama is this??

Hey, have you ever noticed how actually creepy this studio is without people? 

JUNGMO: Mmpff!! ...Whatever can we do? 

SUNNY: [to off-camera] Hey, Mrs. Kyung, let's play some music!

[Sunny is speaking to the goddess of our department, our senior producer of web programming, Mrs. Kyung Eunju. Mrs. Eunju, perched just behind the camera in the tall chair with the sensible ergonomic backrest, adjusts her spectacles.]

PRODUCER KYUNG: Unfortunately, Sunny, we don't have any music...

SUNNY: Sure you do! This came from a CD box! 

[He waves his novel around, as manifest evidence.]

PRODUCER KYUNG: Unfortunately...we have no such CDs...

SUNNY: Umm, but...did you look?...

[Jungmo fishes 5 empty CD boxes out from behind Yunsu's interview chair, and holds them up.]

PRODUCER KYUNG: ...Be that as it may...

SUNNY: Cue the hits!!

---

[At Sunny's insistence, we are cueing up their hit single. Single. As in, one. You've only had one hit, Im Sunny. And there may not be a second, if you maintain this ungovernable attitude! But for now...for now, you win.]

BERMUDA - Apollo

/All/

Ah-ah-ahhh!

/Jacob/

Not another summer... 

(Summer) (Summer) (Summer ~ !)


/Sunny/

S: My Muse! Good news! It's vacation,

You've spent the whole year, giving me education,

Been a fool for you since el-e-men-ta-ry,

Obviously, bet you and I know the six-three-three,

We've been through, then 40 and 12 gives 52...

But when are you going down to the 181?

That's where I'm from, prince of Hamilton -

Or at least my version in Busan! 

"With my parasol and patbingsu, I'm also kinda fun ~ " 

I'm up with the charts and down with the sun,

Rosy, one with the beach, one day you'll roll with me...

Love and peace, this has been Sunny MC!!


/Jacob/

Summer for a day, nah, summer for a night (no!)

I want summer to last me a whole life,

/Jacob + Jungmo/

The sun's on like I'm electrified,

Whatever light touches is my goddamn right,

/Jacob/

Bona fide attire (say!), my hair's on fire (say!),

I can't wait to show you but you're never on time?? 

Microwaves 'bout to become the yuletide,

Hurry on over before I change my mind!


/Jungmo/

So I say "later" but I can't contain all the longing feelings that have grown with me inside,

I wish I could be the tattoo 'round your finger and just hold you tight, all through the night...


/Minho/

Ooh, so I wait for you,

And ooh, there's no brighter blue,

Bermuda (Bermuda), Bermuda (Bermuda)

Bermuda (Bermuda), Bermuda (Bermuda)

Ooh, words are paper thin,

When you, you are my ocean,

Bermuda (Bermuda), Bermuda (Bermuda)

Bermuda (Bermuda), Bermuda (Bermuda)


/Sunny/

OK, hit em with the chopper!


/Hyuntae/

"Brrrr - what's romance?"

Is it when you lie and tell me that we're friends?

Is it the alien chest explosion that I feel when you tell me you don't know,

Something something, "well Hyuntae if you say so",

Is it when I'm waiting in excess of an hour in front of SEA LIFE, 

Then you call, telling me you'll only be there if I drive?

I can hear your hair dryer in the background, 

Delayed gratification putting me in the ground!

I don't know how I'm supposed to do the emotional work, and be kind of a jerk, 

And all the while do my hair, and stare but not really stare...

Your disappearing snaps send my brain to another dimension,

Should this resemble hypertension? 

/Hyuntae + Jacob/

Baby let's meet at the summer beach,

The church of the sun will give us relief,

Mama don't preach, you know I'm in need,

Have pity on a poor machine!

 

/Jungmo/

I say "okay" when I don't feel ready to leave you alone, I don't want to go home,

I wish I could be the moonlight on your shoulders, and be your comfort, till this world is over...


/Minho/

Ooh, so I wait for you,

And ooh, still I wait for you,

Bermuda (Bermuda), Bermuda (Bermuda)

Bermuda (Bermuda), Bermuda (Bermuda)

Ooh, if you live in my mind,

Then ooh, shouldn't your heart be mine?

Bermuda (Bermuda), Bermuda (Bermuda)

Bermuda (Bermuda), Bermuda (Bermuda)


/Jungmo/

And maybe I'm a little bit shallow...

Not deep like you. So what can I do? 

You saw right through me a long time ago...

(Still I don't think you know, you know?)


/Jacob/

And with you, 

A season of warm turns cold...

And everything I think I know is turned upside down,

But I think (and I think),

And I think,

That's life...


/All, in polyphony/

Seasons pass, we'll grow together... 

(Ah ah ah ~)

Let's spend our lives...

(Ah ah ah ~)

Not just one summer...

(Seasons pass with you) 

(I want to grow with you) 

(I want to learn with you...!)


/All/

"Seasons pass, we'll grow together."


/Sunny/

...All right, we're gonna call you out one more time!

Let's double time! We're doing fine!

Outro, dance line!!

(Formation!) (Dance line, dance line)

(Formation!) (Dance line, dance line)

(Formation!) (Dance line, dance line)

(Formation!) (Dance line, dance line)

(Hit em with the chopper!) (Dance line, dance line)

(Hit em with the chopper!) (Dance line, dance line)

(Bermuda!) (Dance line, dance line)

(Bermuda!) (Dance line, dance line)

(Bermuda!) (Willie bounce, willy bounce)

(Bermuda!) (Willie bounce, willy bounce)

(Bermuda!) (Della move, move)

(Bermuda!) (Della move, move)

(Hey!) (...!)

(Hey!) (...!)

(PG-13)

“Sunny, age 20, is an ordinary university student living in Busan, South Korea.
When he’s not in classes, he loves riding his bike near the waterfront, boogie boarding, and playing with his dog. At night, he studies…sometimes!…but he’s more often cracking open a beer with his older friend, an eccentric PhD grad who is obsessed with extraterrestrials.
No girlfriend - at least, not yet.
His goal is to become a vet tech, but he doesn’t know if he’d call that his 'dream'.
So far, so normal. But Sunny’s sweet little life is about to get a whole lot bigger with the arrival of a mysterious group called the acolytes of Apollo…”

A modern-day fantasy adventure about fate, chance, magic, family, and embracing the impossible.

It is also a story within a story!
To learn more about the real identities of the acolytes of Apollo, be sure to visit The Truth Tellers, a webtoon by Teleria:
