A Regression Guide for Idols Who Lost Their Initial Intentions Episode 180

 

 

 

 

 

[1st Place- ‘D.I – Graffiti(Feat. Yoon Eden of Rev)’ ♥88,137]

 

 

 

“This feels really strange….”

 

I scratched my head while looking at my name attached to the song that took first place on the music chart.

 

Before regression, another rapper’s name was embedded there, but now Yongcheol Hyung’s and my name are written side by side.

 

Anyway, the song was good enough to take first place on the music chart even before regression, so my featuring portion probably didn’t contribute much to this first place.

 

A blue status window appeared before my eyes as I stared intently at the music chart.

 

 

 

[☺400,000 fans achieved!]

 

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

 

 

 

It feels like just yesterday I broke through 300,000, but I’ve already achieved 400,000.

 

 

 

[Essential Condition- You who disappointed 30,000 fans, make 30 million fans happy!(452,716/30,000,000)]

 

 

 

‘The essential condition achievement is still far off.’

 

I’d probably need to go on several overseas tours to achieve around a million.

 

Looking at the still impossibly distant number, I was seriously worried whether I could fill this number in this lifetime.

 

Besides, when I regress, doesn’t the number reset?

 

Of course, I’ll definitely succeed this time and avoid regressing to debut day again as much as possible, but since human affairs are unpredictable, how about changing the algorithm so that even if I regress, it accumulates up to the pre-regression numbers?

 

 

 

[No]

 

 

 

As expected.

 

I clicked my tongue at the system’s response that had become truly half-hearted lately. Is this right?

 

While I was holed up in the studio working on a song after making time in a while, my cell phone rang.

 

 

 

[✆Kim Dobin]

 

 

 

“This guy’s calling for something unusual.”

 

I knew Kim Dobin usually preferred texts over phone calls, but I answered the phone leisurely while thinking it was unusual.

 

“Hello.”

 

-Hyung, I love you!

 

“Ugh, damn.”

 

I reflexively expressed disgust at the love confession that rang out loudly through the receiver and immediately hung up.

 

While rubbing my arms that got goosebumps from the confession attack, I belatedly realized that Kim Dobin’s voice had been quite urgent.

 

I tried calling again, but only the message saying the other party was currently on a call kept playing. When I finally got through again, I urgently asked while holding onto the phone.

 

“Kim Dobin! Are you okay? You’re okay, right? What’s wrong? Did you have an accident?”

 

-I didn’t have an accident. Hyung, I love you!

 

It sounded so much like final words that my heart sank.

 

If it’s not an accident, then this is… But why specifically to me…?

 

“Dobin, you didn’t make some kind of resolution, did you…?”

 

-No! Hyung, I love you! L-O-V-E love!

 

When I asked with a trembling voice, Kim Dobin denied it once more and even shouted out the love alphabet clearly. I have no idea what kind of response this kid is hoping for.

 

“Did you eat something wrong? Hyung told you not to pick up and eat just anything.”

 

-Don’t you love me, Hyung?

 

“Are you hurt somewhere?”

 

-No, Eden Hyung! Don’t you love me?

 

“Why are you really acting like this? Are you possessed…?”

 

Now I was starting to get scared. Was this exactly how the members felt when I received the personality reversal penalty? I think I now understand a bit why they all made a fuss saying I was possessed.

 

Kim Dobin, who let out a short sigh, suddenly started shouting about giving up.

 

-I give up, give up! I told you. This is an absolutely impossible mission for our team.

 

“What?”

 

As my brain stopped, unable to follow what situation this was, I heard a familiar voice along with laughter.

 

-Eden, hello! This is Sion’s Blue Night! It’s been a while since we greeted each other like this! Please say hello to the viewers too!

 

The high-energy greeting of Sion, Syndrome’s leader who performed a special stage with me for On Top, poured out rapidly.

 

“Ah, yes… Hello. This is Rev’s Eden.”

 

I was swept along and greeted while patting my chest in relief.

 

Damn, the kid wasn’t crazy, it was a radio mission. I aged ten years, really.

 

 

 

* * *

 

 

 

Now, let’s turn back time and find out exactly why this situation occurred.

 

Kim Dobin, who had been shouting ‘Hyung, I love you!’ at the top of his lungs, was currently appearing as a guest on the terrestrial radio show ‘Sion’s Blue Night’ together with Altair’s Cha Yeonho.

 

In the midst of this, a surprise mission given to the guests! Getting their group leader to say they love them!

 

‘I’m screwed… I’ll be lucky if he doesn’t ask if I’m crazy. This hyung probably doesn’t even know I have an individual schedule today.’

 

As soon as Kim Dobin heard the mission, he despaired.

 

If Yoon Eden had been at the dormitory, the quick-witted Youngest Member would have somehow carried him through, but Kim Dobin had clearly seen it. Yoon Eden leaving the dormitory saying he was going to the studio during the day.

 

“Yeonho, you look quite confident?”

 

“I’m confident I can set the shortest record on Blue Night today.”

 

Cha Yeonho made a V sign toward the camera. The dial tone rang and then KJ’s cave-like low voice was heard.

 

-Hello?

 

“Jeongjun, I love you.”

 

-Oh, I love you too.

 

Thanks to KJ who immediately caught on that this was a mission and perfectly gave the desired response, Cha Yeonho recorded 29 seconds as he had boasted, breaking the existing shortest time record.

 

“Ah, amazing, Altair. You guys must really get along well. Gonghan and I took 38 seconds.”

 

Sion, who let out an exclamation, turned to look at Kim Dobin and asked.

 

“How about it, Dobin? Are you confident you can break Yeonho’s record?”

 

“I think I can break the longest duration record. Because this is probably an impossible mission for our team….”

 

Kim Dobin had already given up all expectations. He just hoped that Yoon Eden wouldn’t ask if he was crazy and that there wouldn’t be a broadcast accident.

 

The dial tone rang for a long time before the call connected. A mid-low husky tone filled the radio booth with indifference.

 

-Hello.

 

“Hyung, I love you!”

 

-Ugh, damn.

 

Sincere disgust followed by an abruptly cut call.

 

I knew this would happen. Kim Dobin let out a hollow laugh while holding his phone at the call that was mercilessly cut off.

 

 

 

[Ugh damn lololololol]

 

[He hung up immediately without a moment’s hesitation lololol]

 

[Eden was genuinely disgusted lololol]

 

 

 

The real-time text chat window scrolled up much faster than during Altair’s turn.

 

It was understandable. That disgust that welled up from deep in his heart and the immediately cut call were quite funny.

 

While holding his phone that kept showing the busy signal no matter where he was calling, Kim Dobin answered with a bright face when Yoon Eden called first.

 

Finally, Eden Hyung noticed this was a mission and…!

 

-Kim Dobin! Are you okay? You’re okay, right? What’s wrong? Did you have an accident?

 

As if.

 

Meanwhile, his voice was truly urgent. Kim Dobin reflected on the past three years of living as a Reve member and repented. It seems I was truly stingy with saying I love you.

 

-You didn’t make some kind of resolution, did you…?

 

-Did you eat something wrong?

 

-Are you sick somewhere?

 

-This kid isn’t really possessed by a ghost, is he…?

 

Each quote that was updated as he tried to elicit words of love was truly legendary.

 

 

 

[An accident happened lololol]

 

[Wow, Eden really loves Dobin so much haha He immediately called back asking urgently if there was an accident and worrying if he had made some kind of decision]

 

[Are these really the kind of responses you’d give to “I love you”? lol]

 

[Eden, why are you covering up the real ghost that actually appeared in the spirit photo with a sticker, but getting scared of ghosts that aren’t even there ㅋㅋㅠㅠ]

 

 

 

“Eden, don’t you love your teammate? No, I’m listening here and somehow not even an ‘I love you too’ response comes out!”

 

-No, you suddenly called out of nowhere and attacked me with love confessions, no, confession lines, so I was flustered…

 

Listening to Yoon Eden’s voice conducting a phone interview with Sion, Kim Dobin was relieved and let out a sigh that at least “are you crazy” didn’t come out.

 

Meanwhile, Cha Yeonho, who was listening to all of this together in the radio booth…

 

‘Seeing how terribly oblivious he is, Yoon Eden is definitely not a regressor. If he was someone who came back, there’s no way he couldn’t notice a mission of that level.’

 

Today too, he was smoothly erasing Yoon Eden from his list of suspected Reve regressors.

 

‘If that’s acting, what’s the Blue Dragon Film Awards Best Actor award? He’d debut in Hollywood and win an Oscar too.’

 

Cha Yeonho felt truly pathetic for having suspected such a guy as a regressor even for a moment and constantly trying to test him.

 

After the radio schedule ended, Cha Yeonho was able to briefly catch Kim Dobin. After thinking very briefly about his question, Kim Dobin quickly gave an answer.

 

“Who has the loudest voice on the team? Probably the main vocalist, our youngest member?”

 

Just as he was satisfied with the straightforward answer, Cha Yeonho felt an inexplicable uneasiness about the modifier added before “youngest member” and carefully asked.

 

“…Just to be sure, you didn’t interpret ‘loudest voice’ as volume, did you?”

 

“Isn’t that what you were asking?”

 

Both the leader and members, these damn Reve guys have a talent for making people’s insides burst.

 

“I meant who’s the most assertive.”

 

He tried to maintain a gentle and soft voice, but couldn’t stop even the trembling at the end of his voice.

 

“Well, probably Eden hyung since he’s the leader? Or not? Is the youngest member more assertive? When it comes to music, it’s definitely Eden hyung though…”

 

“What about Gyeon Hajun?”

 

“Hajun hyung? Hajun hyung isn’t really the loud type.”

 

Watching Kim Dobin scratch his head as he spoke, Cha Yeonho bit the flesh inside his mouth.

 

‘Did I guess wrong again?’

 

He had thought Gyeon Hajun was the regressor since he seemed skilled at acting and good at handling people, but now it was leaning more toward Ryu Jaehee.

 

Come to think of it, the two trainees who always made it to the final debut group in TK’s trainee debut survival program were eliminated this time.

 

Due to the issue that Ryu Jaehee caused.

 

Moreover, the plagiarism issue that came out along with the trainee hazing and assault issue was originally supposed to break three years from now.

 

It was sufficient grounds to suspect regression.

 

“Thanks for the answer.”

 

Cha Yeonho smiled, pulling up the corners of his mouth, and turned around.

 

 

 

[Danger Level: 70]

 

 

 

Even though he had narrowed down Reve’s regressor candidates from two to one, the danger level remained the same.
