A Regression Guide for Idols Who Lost Their Initial Intentions Episode 145

 

 

 

 

 

“Shouldn’t we run away quickly?”

 

Ryu Jaehee, who had grasped the situation, whispered in a trembling voice.

 

Kim Dobin was already frozen stiff with his face pale white, as if he had gone into panic mode.

 

“If all three of us run at once, we don’t know who’ll become the target, so don’t run and stick together for now.”

 

Honestly, I was also extremely scared being in a position with a gunman behind us, but I couldn’t show my anxiety because the younger members were beside me.

 

If I showed signs of being anxious too, these guys’ mentals would completely break down.

 

Still, I had brought something for times like this. Pretending to be calm, I reached into my jersey pocket and then froze.

 

‘Shit, where did it go…?’

 

Facing the empty pocket, my hands trembled.

 

I kept my trembling hands buried in the pocket so they wouldn’t be noticed and racked my brain.

 

When the hell did I drop it? Was it a problem that I just casually put it in since the pocket didn’t zip?

 

Meanwhile, the man following us was getting closer and closer. As the distance narrowed, Ryu Jaehee and Kim Dobin held hands tightly and shivered.

 

Wait, come to think of it, this isn’t a country that allows firearms, so how is that bastard carrying a gun?

 

The man who had finally caught up to us pointed his gun at us and shouted something.

 

I pushed the Youngest Line, who had frozen stiff at the gun barrel aimed at close range, behind my back and looked over the suspicious man.

 

His build was small enough that I could subdue him. The gun he was holding was the problem.

 

Right then, a sparkling sticker attached to the gun barrel caught my eye. The moment I saw that sticker, my tension eased and I could roughly predict what was going on.

 

“Go ahead, shoot.”

 

When I spoke to the suspicious man with a crooked smile, Ryu Jaehee was horrified beside me.

 

“Hyung, are you crazy? No, how can you provoke someone holding a gun!”

 

“He probably can’t understand Korean… Shouldn’t we give him all our money and everything we’re carrying and run away right now…?”

 

“Guys, this isn’t a country that allows firearms.”

 

“Then what’s that?”

 

“Fake.”

 

When I put my hand in my pocket, the threatening voice got even louder.

 

Ignoring it, I pulled out the cola can I had roughly shoved in my pocket and stated definitively once more.

 

“That’s the prop gun I brought.”

 

Still with his finger on the trigger, I watched the suspicious man ranting and then opened the cola can and sprayed it refreshingly toward his face, precisely at his eyes.

 

I subdued the suspicious man by twisting his arm as he screamed and covered his eyes with his hands, then snatched the prop gun. Spinning the gun once in my hand, I said.

 

“Sorry, but I have to return the prop.”

 

Let’s see if he knows it’s a prop or not, shall we?

 

When I aimed the gun at the suspicious man, he panicked at the gun barrel pointed at him, staggered backward, then ran away like crazy. He apparently didn’t know.

 

When the suspicious man disappeared, Kim Dobin slowly sank to the floor. His legs seemed to have given out.

 

“Hyung, you can’t sit down here! Get up quickly! At least get inside the hotel before you sit down!”

 

Ryu Jaehee forcibly pulled Kim Dobin to his feet.

 

“It’s okay. I have this.”

 

When I hooked my finger on the gun’s trigger guard and spun it lightly once, Ryu Jaehee noticed the sticker on the barrel and asked.

 

“Come to think of it, isn’t this a music video prop?”

 

“Yeah, I heard the area near the hotel had bad security, so I said I’d return it in Korea and brought it for self-defense.”

 

“Wow, I was completely scared thinking it was a real gun.”

 

Ryu Jaehee, who had been patting his chest in relief, blinked.

 

“But why was our music video prop in that guy’s hands?”

 

“I brought it just in case something like this happened, but it must have fallen out of my pocket, haha. How was I supposed to know someone would pick it up and use it to threaten us in reverse.”

 

When I laughed, Kim Dobin grabbed his head and shouted.

 

“I’m confused! I’m confused whether I should be grateful to Eden Hyung or resent Hyung for bringing a prop gun and causing this mess!”

 

“You brat, anyway I chased away the robber, so of course you should be grateful.”

 

“Right, let’s be thankful, Hyung. Anyway, Eden Hyung was the one who first noticed the gun was fake and told us, and Eden Hyung was also the one who took the gun and subdued him.”

 

“Is that so?”

 

Convinced by mine and Ryu Jaehee’s words, Kim Dobin tilted his head. Ryu Jaehee looked back at me with sparkling eyes and said.

 

“Anyway, Hyung. That was cool.”

 

“Yeah, sure.”

 

It was fortunate I was wearing a jersey. It meant the Youngest Line guys couldn’t notice the cold sweat soaking my back.

 

Damn, I was scared thinking I’d get shot in a foreign country and end up in the society section.

 

As soon as we returned to the hotel room, Kim Dobin rushed over to Seo Yehyeon. They really seemed to have gotten close while practicing dance together.

 

“Yehyeon Hyung! Do you know what happened to us? No, really, I thought I was going to get shot today! I almost made an equivalent exchange of late-night snacks for my life!”

 

“This isn’t a country that allows firearms.”

 

Seo Yehyeon naturally stole the bag from Kim Dobin’s hands and dodged away.

 

Examining the bag, Seo Yehyeon looked at the snacks, bread, jerky, beer and other treats we had bought with a subtle expression, then saw the drinks and made a ‘what’s this?’ face.

 

“Oh, but you didn’t buy carbonated drinks? Admirable, really. No, thinking about it, it’s ridiculous that I think it’s admirable to see something like this…”

 

The three of us exchanged glances. We did buy some. The problem was we gave it to that suspicious bastard’s eyes.

 

“What happened? That’s why I told you to be careful because the security is bad.”

 

Gyeon Hajun patted Kim Dobin’s back and asked in a gentle voice.

 

“No, some crazy guy followed us with a gun, but it was actually Eden Hyung’s gun…! But it was a fake gun, so Eden Hyung subdued him…!”

 

“What are you talking about…?”

 

At Kim Dobin’s rambling words, Seo Yehyeon raised his eyebrows while opening the cap of the bottled water provided as hotel amenities.

 

“We met an armed robber, but it was this prop fake gun I dropped, so I safely subdued him, recovered the prop, and returned safely to the hotel.”

 

At my brief explanation that hit only the key points, Seo Yehyeon’s mouth fell open.

 

“Wow, you really almost made an equivalent exchange of late-night snacks for your life. That’s why if you had said you wouldn’t eat late-night snacks, this wouldn’t have happened.”

 

“Eden.”

 

The moment Gyeon Hajun called my name, I had a hunch. Ah, this is the prelude to Gyeon Hajun’s nagging.

 

Pretending to hang my head low, I urgently sent a text to Ryu Jaehee.

 

 

 

[Youngest, what time is it in Korea right now?]

 

 

 

Looking at the text that arrived on his phone, Ryu Jaehee made an expression like ‘why are you texting when you’re right next to me?’ I sent him hand signals to hurry up and reply.

 

 

 

[Ryu Jaehee- It’s 8 PM]

 

[OK quickly turn on the OA app]

 

[Ryu Jaehee- What? Suddenly?]

 

[Turn it on quickly, quickly]

 

 

 

There’s only one way to escape Gyeon Hajun’s nagging.

 

“It’s good that you protected the younger members, but why on earth did you bring a prop gun-”

 

“Hello, Ilmong-ies! It’s been a while!”

 

When Ryu Jaehee, wearing a hood and Kim Dobin’s cap pulled down tight, greeted while looking at his phone screen, Gyeon Hajun’s head reflexively turned in that direction.

 

“Jaehee, did you turn on the OA live?”

 

“Yes…”

 

At the sight of Ryu Jaehee nodding and desperately signaling me with his eyes, Gyeon Hajun narrowed his eyes.

 

Gyeon Hajun snatched the phone from my hand and scanned the hot chat exchange between Ryu Jaehee and me.

 

With a face that said he had a lot to say but wouldn’t, Gyeon Hajun covered Seo Yehyeon’s head with a blanket so it wouldn’t be visible, then smiled brightly at Ryu Jaehee’s phone screen and greeted.

 

“Hello, Daydream. It’s been a while.”

 

“Hello, Daydream.”

 

Seo Yehyeon, who was covered with the blanket, stuck out only his hand to greet. When Ryu Jaehee kindly provided camera service by moving around, Seo Yehyeon muttered while covering his face with the blanket.

 

“Ah, I’m not wearing makeup right now…”

 

“Daydream, I missed you!”

 

I suddenly stuck my face close to the phone screen to cover Seo Yehyeon and waved my hand vigorously.

 

Thanks to that, I was able to escape Gyeon Hajun’s nagging! Thank you very much! At my heartfelt cry, Kim Dobin, who had slipped next to me while wearing his hoodie with the hood up, also very enthusiastically welcomed Daydream.

 

“Me too! I really wanted to see you all too! I really thought I’d never be able to meet Daydream again!”

 

 

 

[Why, what happened???]

 

[Didn’t the kids leave the country for music video filming right now?]

 

[What’s wrong with our Ganggang mouse ㅠㅠㅠ]

 

 

 

Next to Kim Dobin, who was excitedly telling the story of how we went to buy late-night snacks and encountered a suspicious man with a gun in the rapidly scrolling chat window, I added a word here and there.

 

 

 

[Wow, but it was so fortunate that the sticker was attached… If it wasn’t for that, we wouldn’t have known it was a prop pistol]

 

[Still, the fact that he sent the younger members behind his back in that situation is really amazing]

 

[Really a true leader]

 

[Wow… he sprayed cola in their eyes…]

 

[How big must his liver be to do that,,,]

 

 

 

“Anyway, so we returned safely. It almost became a big incident.”

 

“Manager? We went to buy late-night snacks without telling Manager Hyung, so haha…”

 

Gyeon Hajun’s expression, which wasn’t good even when he only heard my brief summary, gradually became more serious as he listened to Kim Dobin’s slightly exaggerated version of the story.

 

And after the OA live ended, I had to listen to endless nagging in the hotel room where Gyeon Hajun and I were staying.

 

As expected, the OA live was just robbing Peter to pay Paul. Either way, the nagging ending was the same.

 

 

 

* * *

 

 

 

The first weekend after returning to Korea.

 

“Oh, is starting!”

 

At Ryu Jaehee’s shout, the members began coming out to the living room one by one. I ran out faster than anyone and tried to snatch the remote control from Ryu Jaehee’s hand, but.

 

“Ah, don’t watch it!”

 

Before I could even touch the remote control, I was held by both arms by Gyeon Hajun and Seo Yehyeon and shouted while desperately struggling.

 

“When Hyung acts like this, it makes us more curious and want to watch it more.”

 

“Right. I’m curious about what kind of scene is going to appear that makes you so desperate.”

 

“No special scenes appear! It’s boring! Just don’t watch it!”

 

“If no special scenes appear, then why are you stopping us from watching?”

 

The image of me hesitantly singing along to military songs, bursting out crying and running away as soon as NBC training ended, getting covered in muddy water during trench combat, and my appearance during rappelling training flashed through my mind.

 

Damn, as expected, I must prevent them from watching by any means necessary.
