A Regression Guide for Idols Who Lost Their Initial Intentions Episode 119

As soon as we returned to the dormitory, Ryu Jaehee collapsed on the sofa patting his full stomach, and Seo Yehyeon went looking for digestive medicine.

I pushed Jaehee aside and claimed the sofa. Jaehee whined but obediently sat at the very end of the sofa.

Nagging immediately flew my way about not lying down right after eating because it would make me gain weight. I ignored it and lay down, turning on my phone screen.

“Wow, did she really convert? She changed her KakaoTalk profile picture to Yehyeon Hyung’s face.”

I let out an exclamation of admiration at Yoon Jeonga’s profile picture that I discovered while looking for messenger to send some pocket money after a long time.

To steal a fan from Altair, Seo Yehyeon really earned his meal today! Rev’s fan-recruiting fairy worked hard today too.

Seo Yehyeon, who had taken digestive medicine and walked over sluggishly, plopped down on the floor and leaned his back against the sofa. I spoke to Yehyeon who closed his eyes with a tired face.

“Why don’t you go sleep in your room?”

“I’m going to exercise in a bit once this indigestion settles down.”

“Really? Let’s go together.”

I had to complete the Weekly Quest – body management item, so I needed to do today’s exercise anyway.

“But how do you make someone convert just by showing your face once? Is it because we see that face every day that it doesn’t feel real?”

I muttered while staring intently at Yehyeon’s profile. Yehyeon grumbled uncomfortably about what I was looking at and covered his face with his hand.

“Look at Yehyeon Hyung’s face in the mirror. Then you’ll feel it more.”

“Is this bastard disparaging hyung’s looks right now?”

I put Jaehee in a headlock as he replied indifferently.

“Ack! This is stating facts, how is it disparaging!”

This wasn’t meant as bullying but as a neck massage for the younger brother who had to hold his head up proudly all day today.

The system must have understood my heart as my initial intentions score didn’t decrease.

The next day, Seo Yehyeon left for his family home and Kim Dobin returned to the dormitory.

“Huhueng, why isn’t it vacation time now! No, if the agency is going to give us time off, they should do it during vacation!”

“What does vacation matter? Hyung, you’re graduating this year anyway.”

“Oh, that’s right?”

Kim Dobin came in spouting nonsense and scratched his head with a stupid expression.

“Huk, come to think of it, I’m taking the college entrance exam next week! That’s why I brought a lunchbox too!”

“Oh, okay. Do well and come back.”

“But why the college entrance exam? Hyung, were you thinking of going to college?”

“It would be good to go. And if you get the test ticket, you can get student discounts.”

“No one takes the college entrance exam just to get a test ticket.”

The person who went to take the college entrance exam to get a test ticket and filled in one line then slept quietly shut his mouth.

Father even lied about losing my college entrance exam score report, worried that grandfather would collapse, and absolutely didn’t bring it to grandfather.

Thanks to that, I gained the tip that if I wanted to make grandfather collapse, I could recite my college entrance exam scores in front of him.

Of course, I didn’t want to reach the level of an unfilial son, so I never pulled that card even before regression.

When both Kim Dobin and Ryu Jaehee went to school, the dormitory became empty. My appointments were still clustered in the evening.

I also didn’t feel great being alone in the empty dormitory, so I headed to my studio.

When there’s nothing to do, song production is the best.

[Holy shit, is this you? hahahahaha] 3:21 AM

[https://yxxtu.be/GKPSOEx87] 3:22 AM

[Wow, congratulations on becoming a filial grandson!] 8:36 AM

[Eden, it’s not too late even now, come back to the hip hop scene] 8:45 AM

I sat at the dining table with half-open eyes and checked my phone that had been ringing continuously since dawn today. Messages from acquaintances had piled up.

They all asked “is this you?” while attaching YouTube links or community post links. I could also see occasional exclamations calling me crazy.

[HIT!] Legendary flaming filial grandson idol who delivered diss rap at grandfather’s 80th birthday party.gif

-Fuck, this is k-hip hop

I’ve seen rappers crying about how pitiful their moms are in Korean hip-hop, but this is the first time I’ve seen someone dissing their grandfather lol

-First, I give 0 points for unfilial behavior since there wasn’t a single curse word

└But isn’t diss rap at an 80th birthday party already 100 points for unfilial behavior?

-But listening to it, everything he said was right? Like he said, getting bad grades doesn’t make you a loser in life

-Just the fact that he called his idol grandson a performer shows what the family atmosphere is like,,,

-The punchlines and diction are insane lol You’re telling me they’re an idol, not a rapper?

└Too bad, if it was a rapper, grandpa would’ve grabbed his neck even harder and gone down ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

└Seriously, both his rap skills and that crazy hip hop spirit, the hip hop world lost talent to the idol industry

└Yo, if you want to make your grandfather’s neck hurt more, quit being an idol even now and convert to being a rapper

-The idiot who posted this is also ridiculous lol If it’s a relative, they’re a moron exposing their family’s dirty laundry to the whole world, and if they were invited, they’re a crazy bastard filming and posting someone else’s family drama lol

-This is such a tear-jerking masterpiece ㅜㅜㅜㅜ It’s a song that brings comfort in our fiercely competitive society

-I’m going to play this fucking loud when relatives nag during New Year’s

-Now we have dedicated holiday BGM lolololololol

-Grandmother’s 70th birthday is in a week, I’m going to practice this intensively starting today

└Crazy bastard, that place works because of looks and skills so it looks like a performance, but if you do it, it’s just being unfilial

I held my stomach and laughed at my filial diss rap video that someone had filmed and inevitably uploaded to the internet.

If my diss rap becomes an opportunity for grandfather to reflect on his actions and life’s footsteps, wouldn’t that be filial piety in its own way? Originally, honest advice is bitter.

Moreover, the video had already surpassed 1 million views.

“Hey, the diss rap reaction is pretty good? Should we release an official music source?”

When I giggled and said this to Ryu Jaehee who was setting breakfast on the dining table, Jaehee placed chopsticks in front of me with a thud and shook his head.

“Please don’t go that far, hyung. It was really fortunate that there were no curse words in that grandfather diss song. If there had been curse words, hyung would have carried the unfilial son label until death.”

Jaehee spoke as if lamenting while smacking down Kim Dobin’s hand as he tried to take a spoonful of rice before I even picked up my chopsticks, sitting in his seat.

Kim Dobin, who rubbed his hand and quietly put down his spoon, asked.

“Hul, Eden Hyung, did hyung diss rap your grandfather?”

When I nodded, Kim Dobin’s eyes became even more sparkling.

“I saw that live, hyung…”

“Wow, totally jealous. Jaehee bragged about following hyung to grandfather’s 80th birthday party and eating a 100,000 won per person buffet. You should have invited me too, hyung. I could have done breaking on the side.”

“Again, again, you’re showing off when you wouldn’t even be able to do it if the stage was set up for you. Hyung should have been in that atmosphere.”

Ryu Jaehee scolded Kim Dobin. For all that scolding, unlike Seo Yehyeon who was picky at the buffet, Jaehee ate well. He also quickly became friends with Yoon Jeonga since they were the same age.

Since I was looking at this post anyway, I decided to complete the Search Quest. Gyeon Hajun, who would nag about using phones at the dinner table, wasn’t there either.

Want To Be Unemployed @sipnotship

Still, all these people criticizing it as inappropriate behavior must have had good grandparents, I’m jealous haha

I have a paternal grandmother I wouldn’t want to go to the funeral of even if I died, so I totally understand that situation of spitting out a diss rap

Want To Be Unemployed @sipnotship

And honestly, it’s not like he flipped a birthday table and cursed profusely, that level of diss rap was… pretty refined, wasn’t it? I’ve wanted to flip tables and curse to people’s faces more than once or twice

The reaction wasn’t bad. Only a small minority seriously cursed at me saying the 80th birthday party diss rap was unfilial.

“Puhaha, that’s easy listening! I was worried since it was freestyle, but the lyrics got delivered properly!”

As I burst into hearty laughter from the rushing sense of pride, Ryu Jaehee muttered.

“That hyung’s points of joy are weird…”

Then should I be happy about being called a filial son, you punk?

[☺150,000 Fans Achieved!]

[Reward: Initial Intentions +10, Item Selection Ticket]

The status window showing 150,000 fans achieved that the system happened to display was perfectly timed.

It seems it now displays in 50,000 increments, and since this regular album activity performance was quite good, it was timing for fans to increase…

But displaying it now makes it look like the fan count increased because of this 80th birthday party diss rap.

“Gomguk again…?”

“Why, Doby. You said you like gomguk. You should eat a lot.”

Kim Dobin, who had been looking down at a bowl of gomtang with dead eyes, timidly objected to my words.

“Even so, you don’t need to give me gomguk until the morning of the college entrance exam…”

Kim Dobin, who at first happily ate two meals of gomguk without complaint saying he liked gomtang, declared surrender after five days.

It was understandable. Jaehee and I had been passing our portions to Kim Dobin too.

Thanks to that, we could be freed from gomguk for a while. It would have pricked our conscience to secretly throw it away, so it worked out well.

“Shut up and eat before I give you seaweed soup. Right now someone is busy as hell packing lunch boxes, where do you get off complaining about food?”

When I warned while roughly stirring the stir-fried pork with a ladle, Kim Dobin obediently mixed rice into his gomguk and ate it again.

Right now I was packing Kim Dobin’s college entrance exam lunch box together with Ryu Jaehee.

It was a tragedy for Kim Dobin, who needed a lunch box today, that just when Gyeon Hajun was absent, only the three of us remained at the dormitory.

Fortunately, Kim Dobin had brought a stainless steel thermal lunch box from his family home, so he could avoid the disaster of having to eat cold rice in a Lock & Lock container.

“Hyung, the rolled omelet got a bit burnt, what should I do? There are no eggs so I can’t make a new one.”

“Just cut off the burnt parts and put it in.”

“But hyung, shouldn’t you turn down the heat? It smells burnt.”

“Damn it, we don’t have time so we need to stir-fry on high heat. Hey, Doby, should I make you a tornado omelet too?”

“No, it’s okay…”

Looking at the lunch box being completed, Kim Dobin answered with difficulty, his face full of worry.

“Hyung, what if the lunchbox lid won’t open at the college entrance exam site?”

“Then you’ll go hungry.”

Kim Dobin’s face brightened considerably as he took the lunch box.

After the college entrance exam ended, Kim Dobin came back still carrying the lunch box and said cheerfully.

“The lunchbox lid wouldn’t open so I couldn’t eat the lunch box.”

I silently took it and easily opened the lunchbox lid.

“Wow, it opens so well, Doby?”

“That’s too much, hyung. You’re ignoring the sincerity of us who suffered so much packing your lunch box since this morning?”

“No, then you and Jaehee try eating it!”

“Try eating is informal speech.”

“…please!”

You think I can’t eat it if you tell me to try it?

I put a piece of stir-fried pork in my mouth and chewed, then naturally went to the bathroom and spat it out into tissue.

Even though I made it, this was a bit much. Good thing I didn’t taste it while cooking.
