A Regression Guide for Idols Who Lost Their Initial Intentions Episode 108

While we were filming for a whopping 10 hours, I felt sorry for the fans who had to keep their seats in the fan section.

The fan manager distributed reverse support lunch boxes to the fans.

I barely managed to stop the agency from unifying lunch with the same sandwich lunch boxes as breakfast, and we even pooled the members’ personal money to change the menu to steak rice bowls.

“Wow, really… if it weren’t for hyung…”

Ryu Jaehee, who had been most angry about the rice burger incident before regression, reacted most sensitively to this reverse support lunch box as well.

It was fortunate that I remembered the rice burger incident and gave the agency a little poke. We almost had the terrible situation where fans would eat the same sandwich for two consecutive meals.

How could people survive two meals on bread? And not even different types of sandwiches, but the exact same sandwich. If you’re Korean, you should at least have one proper rice meal.

Anyway, just like the senseless agency they are, being so stingy even with people’s meals. It was better than before regression when they only gave one measly rice burger, but they still had no sense.

And what if the reverse support lunch box was worse than KICKS’? How disappointed would our Daydream feel? Having a worse agency than KICKS was already enough.

“Daydream, enjoy your meal! Don’t get indigestion and eat slowly!”

“We’ll see you again soon!”

We moved away from the fan section again so the fans could eat comfortably and returned to the waiting room for our own meal.

The subtle comeback spoiler was a bonus.

Rev reverse support lunch box

Since we got sandwiches for breakfast, I prepared myself for anything from convenience store lunch boxes to rice burgers for lunch, but the quality is amazing

The real horror is that since their agency is SM, this is totally plausible

“What, are we going to lose at this rate?”

I paused while calculating the medals.

Even though we had good team matchups and were in first place despite messing up archery, the team with those KICKS bastards was closely pursuing us.

There was absolutely no way we could let the team with those KICKS bastards steal our victory.

After counting the remaining matches, I used the item selection ticket before starting the basketball game.

Anyway, no matter how many games were left, basketball was the only one I could participate in.

I quickly scrolled through the pretty decent-looking item list. Of course, all the others were useful too, but what did I need right now?

『 Item 3. God of Sports

Description: Maximizes stamina, athletic ability, and performance in all sports.

Limitation: 1 day/1 use 』

[You have selected the item ‘God of Sports’.]

It wasn’t drug doping, so there was nothing to feel guilty about. Ah, if you’re jealous, why don’t you get yourselves an Initial Intentions system too?

Let me show you how to massacre civilians when skill is combined with item buffs.

I changed into basketball clothes and warmed up lightly. The opposing team had someone who was 186cm tall, but I had item doping, so I was confident in victory.

Before the match, we stood on the court and had a greeting time with the opposing team.

Unfortunately, the opposing team also had Altair’s KJ.

Seeing KJ smiling with a good-natured face in front of me, my resolve to take it easy in the preliminaries was shattered to pieces.

I shook hands with KJ, trying not to put too much force into my grip.

The basketball flew high into the air and the game began.

I immediately jumped up and caught the ball in mid-air. My body felt lighter than usual, so my jumping ability had also improved significantly.

I passed to another idol on our team who had some basketball experience, and he threw the ball toward the hoop. A clean 2-point shot went in.

After scoring a few times, I was closely marked to prevent me from getting near the hoop.

Since I couldn’t keep holding the ball, I immediately threw it from mid-court. The ball, thrown in a parabolic arc, went cleanly into the hoop.

“Nice shot!”

When I clenched my fist, my teammates ran over and patted my back.

“Eden!”

I grinned while listening to the fans’ cheers. Thanks to my goal, the current score had widened to a 6-point difference again.

The ball circulated around the court again and came into my hands.

The close marking followed me again. This was my chance. I looked at KJ blocking my path and my eyes gleamed.

Thud! Our shoulders collided heavily and KJ was pushed back. I didn’t miss that moment and immediately shot.

Another clean 3-point shot from mid-court went in.

“Crazy, from that distance!”

“Wow, what’s with Eden’s distance sense?”

The idol on my team, who had become quite friendly after exchanging a few passes, gave me a thumbs up in admiration.

I think I could succeed at a dunk today?

While dribbling, I recalled the past when I attempted a dunk while filming the music video but failed miserably and ended up sprawled on the court, only hearing the members’ laughter, then quickly passed the ball.

I called out the name of my teammate loudly and ran toward the opposing team’s basket. The opposing team saw the ball flying toward me and rushed to mark me, but,

‘Slow.’

I gripped the ball and leaped with all my might. To think I could jump this high, item buffs really were good.

“Woooah, dunk!”

I successfully completed the dunk I had always wanted to achieve at least once.

I let go of the basketball hoop I was hanging from and landed lightly on the floor.

I casually high-fived the hands reaching out from beside me, and as soon as the whistle signaling the end of the match blew, I reflexively checked the score.

Of course, it was our team’s victory.

The basketball finals that followed also ended with our team’s victory thanks to my performance.

KICKS Parachute, who was on the opposing team, calmly accepted his defeat and shook hands.

People swarmed around me, the MVP of this basketball game.

Not only my teammates who played on the same team, but also the opposing team and other idols who were watching came to say a word.

It was similar to how Seo Yehyeon looked when he finished the archery competition. The only difference was that basketball was a victory while archery was elimination in the preliminaries.

I responded with appropriate smiles and exchanged numbers. Anyway, this industry was small, so as long as they weren’t going to cause major scandals in the future, it wouldn’t hurt to build connections.

As soon as I returned to where the members were with the gold medal proudly hanging around my neck, I wiped my sweat with the towel Kim Dobin handed me.

While I was opening a water bottle and drinking it refreshingly, Kim Dobin said with sparkling eyes beside me.

“Hyung, you were just like Midorima Shintaro.”

What’s that, you otaku… I barely swallowed the words that rose to my throat, thinking about my relationship with Initial Intentions and improvement.

“Which character is that from? Slam Dunk? But wasn’t Slam Dunk Kang Baekho? Wasn’t it him?”

The left hand is just support. I know that line too.

I wanted to continue the conversation at the otaku’s level as much as possible, but thanks to Kim Dobin shaking his head, my attempt at eye-level conversation ended in less than a minute.

“Slam Dunk is too old-school, so I haven’t watched it either. It’s Kuroko. Kuroko’s Basketball, there’s a player who shoots 3-pointers from the end of the court. That’s Midorima Shintaro, and today your game style was exactly like his, so I just thought of him.”

“Uh-huh, yeah.”

I couldn’t understand a single thing he was saying. How is this guy a fashion otaku when he’s like this? He’s just an otaku.

I was giving half-hearted responses while ruffling Kim Dobin’s hair when I spotted Cha Yeonho and strode over to him.

Cha Yeonho, who had been comforting the dejected KJ, pushed KJ toward another Altair member as soon as he saw me.

Wow, anyone watching would think I was some rabid dog who went crazy and attacked KJ unprovoked.

“What do you want?”

“How about we take a friendly photo together, Senior?”

“Wow, are we really close enough to take a selca together?”

I responded to his barbed sarcasm with a strange smile on my lips.

“Thanks to someone writing in their clarification statement that we’re close friends, I’ve been getting tiringly frequent inquiries about whether we’re really that close.”

Cha Yeonho gritted his teeth for a moment, then quickly put on a mask-like smile as if nothing had happened.

“Unfortunately, I need to prepare for the relay race now.”

“Come on, it’s not like taking a photo takes an hour. It won’t even take a minute.”

“Well then, I’ll be going.”

I spoke quietly, just loud enough for Cha Yeonho, who was turning away from me, to hear.

“If you’re okay with the full recording being released, that is.”

Cha Yeonho quickly turned his head and glared at me with sharp eyes.

Who would have thought Kim Dobin’s words about me blackmailing Cha Yeonho with a recording would come true? Well, that’s what happened.

“Alright, taking the photo. One, two.”

We took a friendly selca with Cha Yeonho’s cell phone. iPhones really are the best for photos.

“Oh, if Senior posts the photo on SNS, I’ll save it and post it myself, so you don’t need to send it to me. Personal contact is still a bit awkward for me.”

The only response I got back was a hollow laugh.

“Well then, good luck with the relay race. Since our youngest member is participating, I can’t actively cheer for you, Senior.”

“I never expected Yoon Eden’s support in the first place.”

“Look how twisted this person is.”

Cha Yeonho ground his teeth and left at my muttering, which I said like I was talking to myself while clicking my tongue.

I also went to where the relay race was taking place and sat with the members to cheer for our youngest. Ryu Jaehee was running the final leg of the relay.

An idol running two tracks over from our youngest fell down, and the idol next to him got tangled up and fell too.

Seeing how the one who got tangled up and fell was clutching his ankle, it looked like he had properly sprained it.

Fortunately, Ryu Jaehee continued running without falling and made it to the finish line, then made a subtle expression mixing relief and worry as he watched that idol being carried away with assistance.

Cha Yeonho, who was also running the final leg, had a relieved expression too. But it seemed slightly different from Jaehee’s?

“Wow, I was originally assigned to that track so it didn’t matter to me, but Senior Cha Yeonho switched from the track where the injured person was. He must have been completely startled.”

I listened to Jaehee’s chatter with one ear and let it pass through the other.

The final victory at the idol sports competition went to the team that Rev belonged to. Rev contributed quite a bit to the victory by winning two gold medals.

An idol group leader with more years of experience than us went up as the representative to receive the medals and awards before coming back down.

“At least it ended well without any injury issues.”

Even though I had only run one event, I rubbed my eyes that were stiff with fatigue and let out a sigh of relief.
