A Regression Guide for Idols Who Lost Their Initial Intentions Episode 139

 

 

 

 

 

After finishing the recording, Seo Yehyeon looked haggard as he left the recording booth, and I, who had manifested as a demon training officer, pushed away the eleventh chocolate that Ryu Jaehee was trying to put in my mouth.

 

“My mouth is getting too sweet and my irritation level is rising even more, Jaehee.”

 

“Is it okay to eat ten chocolates? Is that right?”

 

As soon as he came out, Ryu Jaehee spoke seriously to Seo Yehyeon who was pointing out the number of chocolates I had eaten.

 

“Without this chocolate, hyung might have experienced an even worse hell.”

 

“Then I fed him well.”

 

Seo Yehyeon readily agreed and plopped down in a chair at the back of the recording studio.

 

After Ryu Jaehee also smoothly finished recording, the first stage of work was completed. Editing and the remaining work were scheduled to be done in my studio.

 

“Pink therapy failed, Gyeon Hajun therapy succeeded, and chocolate therapy and Ryu Jaehee therapy achieved half success.”

 

“How is Ryu Jaehee therapy considered successful?”

 

“I could hear that your commanding tone became a little softer.”

 

“Isn’t that because his energy was drained since it was after Yehyeon hyung’s turn?”

 

“I can distinguish between being drained and having a softer tone because you’re pleased, you know?”

 

Looking at the backs of the youngest line members who were bickering about success and failure in front of the camera, I casually threw out a comment.

 

“Just say it was successful.”

 

“See? I made Ryu Jaehee therapy successful!”

 

Looking at Ryu Jaehee’s triumphant smile, I scratched the back of my head. What meaning could that possibly have that he’s acting like that?

 

“Yes, this concludes the ‘Everyone Be Happy’ project.”

 

“Then we’ll come back with the next project! Dream of me!”

 

“Victory.”

 

I saluted toward the camera filming me while wearing the guerrilla instructor cap, and boos and complaints poured out from all directions.

 

“Ah, hyung!”

 

“This isn’t military content!”

 

“We really shouldn’t have sent him to for nothing!”

The evening after finishing recording.

 

“Hajun hyung, where are you going?”

 

Ryu Jaehee asked Gyeon Hajun who was putting on his shoes at the entrance.

 

At this late hour approaching 10 PM, all the members’ attention focused on Gyeon Hajun who was trying to go out.

 

Since this had never happened before, he received everyone’s undivided attention.

 

Perhaps feeling burdened by the attention focused on him, Gyeon Hajun turned his head awkwardly and answered.

 

“My sister had some business near the dormitory and stopped by in front of the dormitory, so I thought I’d see her face for a moment.”

 

“Jun, when you come back, at the convenience store, mmph!”

 

“What convenience store in the middle of the night?”

 

Seo Yehyeon, who had covered my mouth from the side as I was asking Gyeon Hajun to run an errand, scolded me. I brushed off his hand and shouted loudly.

 

“Ah, what are you talking about! The remote control batteries died so I was asking him to buy one AA battery! Listen to Korean until the end!”

 

“My goodness, it wasn’t late-night snacks? You’ve really matured.”

 

At the sight of Seo Yehyeon looking at me with a moved expression, I was at a loss for words when Kim Dobin chimed in from the side.

 

“This is all hyung’s karma… the karma of hyung who ate potato croquettes and double chocolate cream bread at dawn…”

 

“Shut up, dude.”

 

When I roughly messed up Kim Dobin’s hair, the guy quickly dodged to a corner spot on the sofa.

 

“Hey hey, Hajun, wait a minute!”

 

Seo Yehyeon suddenly stopped Gyeon Hajun who was about to open the front door and leave.

 

“You might run into sasaengs, so take Yoon Eden with you.”

 

I frowned at the sudden involvement while I was sprawled on the sofa watching TV.

 

“Why me?”

 

“Ah, definitely… if just the two of them meet in the middle of the night, people who don’t know Hajun hyung’s family relationships might misunderstand… as expected, Yehyeon hyung’s insight.”

 

When Ryu Jaehee nodded and gave a thumbs up, Seo Yehyeon scratched his cheek awkwardly and muttered.

 

“It’s just that Yoon Eden’s expression is perfect for chasing away sasaengs…”

 

“Who are you treating like a sasaeng repelling charm?”

 

“I’ve never treated you like paper. I have treated you like a bodyguard though.”

 

“That’s the same thing.”

 

“Are you the same as paper and people?”

 

“No, why is the conversation flowing in a weird direction again? That’s not the problem.”

 

“So, are you going or not? If you don’t go, I’ll go.”

 

“I have to go. As if hyung would be good at chasing away sasaengs. It’ll just cause more trouble for Juni.”

 

Grumbling, I put on the black zip-up hoodie that had been carelessly draped over the sofa armrest over my t-shirt.

 

As I shuffled to the entrance and roughly slipped on my slippers, Ryu Jaehee, who had been deep in thought, suddenly stood up and suggested.

 

“Wait, let’s all go together. So there’s definitely no talk.”

 

“Even with Yoon Eden following?”

 

“There are people in this world with infinite imagination, hyung.”

 

So all five of us ended up going outside the dormitory. When Gyeon Hajun called his sister, a woman who looked quite similar to Gyeon Hajun, standing near the apartment entrance, quickly turned around.

 

“Oh, noona. It’s been a while.”

 

When I bowed politely next to Gyeon Hajun, Gyeon Hajun’s sister, recognizing me, greeted me warmly.

 

“Eden, it’s been a while too! You’ve completely become a celebrity now, my goodness.”

 

I had met Gyeon Hajun’s sister twice before – once during my New Born trainee days and once during my LnL trainee days. Hyung had never met her.

 

“You’re getting along well with Hajun, right?”

 

“Haha, of course.”

 

Although the cold war had ended not too long ago, we were getting along well now, so I nodded.

 

“Since he grew up as the youngest being pampered, he’s only lived receiving care, so I’m really worried. I did teach him to take care of himself… he doesn’t act like he does at home in the dormitory too, does he? You don’t need to take care of him, just leave him be.”

 

Well… it’s not that we take care of Hajun, but Hajun takes care of us…

 

I smiled awkwardly under the worried gaze of his sister.

 

“Hello, Hajun hyung’s sister!”

 

After greeting the other members in turn, we waited nearby while the siblings had their affectionate conversation time.

 

The weather, now entering spring, was quite cool. Watching the two people chatting in a harmonious atmosphere, I blurted out.

 

“Is it good to have siblings? I’m an only child so I don’t know.”

 

“Well, I don’t know about older sisters, but older brothers are the worst. I really lived getting beaten up.”

 

“No, younger brothers are worse. They really don’t listen at all. I understand Doby hyung’s older brother. You have to beat up younger brothers to make them listen.”

 

“Younger sisters… sometimes they’re good but sometimes… sigh.”

 

As if the conversation was finished, Gyeon Hajun gestured toward us. Gyeon Hajun’s sister handed Gyeon Hajun a transparent bag containing a large box and said.

 

“Here, take this and share it. I don’t know if boys like desserts. I guess I’ve been too focused on just Hajun’s preferences.”

 

“Oh my, we’re crazy about desserts.”

 

“That’s right, all five of us like desserts.”

 

Even Seo Yehyeon, who rarely touches desserts unless it’s in front of cameras because they make you gain weight, added to Kim Dobin’s boldness.

 

It wasn’t wrong since Kim Dobin and Ryu Jaehee eat anything well. I didn’t dislike sweet things either.

 

“Get home safely, noona. If you have a chance to go to the family home, please tell our parents that I’m doing well.”

 

“Get home safely, noona!”

 

The taxi that Gyeon Hajun’s sister called arrived, and only after confirming that the taxi had left did we return to the dormitory.

 

As soon as he took off his shoes, Kim Dobin placed the dessert box he was holding on the table in the living room and looked back at Gyeon Hajun with sparkling eyes.

 

Gyeon Hajun glanced at Seo Yehyeon, saw him standing with his arms crossed and a firm expression that wouldn’t let even a needle through, and gently appeased Kim Dobin.

 

“I’m also curious about what’s in there, so let’s just open it and look first.”

 

When we opened the box, it was packed full with cheesecake, chocolate cream cake covered in chocolate, strawberry cream cake, grapefruit tart, tiramisu in cups, and more.

 

As soon as Kim Dobin licked his lips, Seo Yehyeon quickly closed the box again.

 

“Eat it tomorrow, tomorrow. If you eat this in the middle of the night, it all turns into fat.”

 

As if he had received a mission to quickly remove this from our sight, Seo Yehyeon put the dessert box in the refrigerator at lightning speed.

 

Gyeon Hajun, who had been looking at the refrigerator with lingering eyes as if he secretly wanted to eat it, turned his gaze away and said.

 

“We can eat it tomorrow while watching the live broadcast of .”

 

“Do we really have to watch the live broadcast…?”

 

At my reluctant question, Kim Dobin clapped his hands and answered.

 

“Ah, of course! It’s a perfect opportunity to see Eden Hyung, the combat training king, in action!”

 

“Watch the rerun by yourself. Since when did we start watching each other’s individual schedule broadcasts live?”

 

When I grumbled, the other members each added their comments.

 

“I’m curious though?”

 

“Me too.”

 

“Oh, let’s see just how intense combat training you went through that made you grill me so hard in the recording studio.”

 

“This training officer clearly announced in advance that this training officer’s attitude can change depending on the trainee’s attitude.”

 

“This isn’t a recording studio right now, you know?”

 

Seo Yehyeon shuddered as if the nightmare was coming back to life.

 

 

 

The next day. live broadcast time.

 

Gathered on the living room sofa, we placed the dessert box in front of us and turned on the TV.

 

“Can I eat the cherry on top of that cake?”

 

Kim Dobin asked, pointing to the cherry on top of the chocolate whipped cream cake.

 

I nodded first and then looked at the other members. Gyeon Hajun and Seo Yehyeon also didn’t seem particularly opposed, so I replied indifferently.

 

“Ask Jaehee.”

 

As soon as my answer fell, Kim Dobin quickly turned to look at Ryu Jaehee.

 

“Ryu Jae! Can I eat this?”

 

“Oh, hyung, go ahead. I don’t really like cherries.”

 

“Why? Isn’t this cherry delicious? I only ate these and the transparent square ones from fruit cocktail.”

 

“I put it in my mouth once and spat it out right away. I haven’t eaten them since.”

 

During the commercial break before the program started, everyone used forks to eat their preferred cake or tart.

 

“What’s inside the cake? Is it grapes?”

 

Ryu Jaehee, who was scooping and chewing the chocolate whipped cream cake, tilted his head and muttered.

 

“There’s fruit in it? It’s cherries. It’s not just chocolate whipped cream cake, it must be Forêt-Noire.”

 

Gyeon Hajun, who took a bite, smiled and added that it was his favorite dessert.

 

The dessert box was emptied before the broadcast started. Gyeon Hajun took a photo of the dessert box with only crumbs and cream remnants left with his cell phone camera, saying he’d send it to noona along with thanks.

 

Eventually the broadcast started, and while the members were laughing at me being dragged to the training camp looking flustered, I was writhing in embarrassment when I heard labored breathing from beside me.

 

When I turned my head, I found Ryu Jaehee scratching his neck vigorously.

 

Seeing that the area around his neck had turned bright red, I urgently grabbed his wrist to stop him, and Ryu Jaehee, dripping with cold sweat, barely managed to speak as if gasping.

 

“Hyung, I can’t… breathe…”
