A Regression Guide for Idols Who Lost Their Initial Intentions Episode 189

 

 

 

 

 

“Hey, aren’t you going to let go of this?”

 

“If you abandon me and leave, you won’t make it 10 ri before getting sick.”

 

After taking a few steps with Kim Dobin clinging to my legs, I let out a deep sigh and lifted Kim Dobin up, casually slinging him over my shoulder.

 

“Is this good enough now?”

 

Kim Dobin, carried like a sack of rice with his face buried against my back, grumbled.

 

“Hyung, I’m pretty sure I carried you comfortably in a princess carry position.”

 

“What was that, Dobin? You want me to just abandon you and leave?”

 

When I adjusted my hold so Kim Dobin could lift his head and asked, he hurriedly replied.

 

“No, it’s really comfortable.”

 

True to the abandoned hospital ward concept where human experimentation and organ trafficking once flourished, broken mannequins and fake organs were scattered all over the floor.

 

I was grateful to be carrying Kim Dobin because of the squishy sensation under my shoes.

 

He would have definitely stepped on this stuff and screamed while jumping around frantically.

 

“It’s so obviously cheap… Oh shit, that scared me.”

 

I was startled by a mannequin head that suddenly rolled right up to my feet. Anyone would be surprised when that head’s lid dangled open to reveal a brain inside.

 

“What is it? What made even you surprised, hyung? Was it really scary?”

 

“No, just a mannequin head.”

 

“Pfft, so Eden hyung is human after all. Getting surprised by a rolling mannequin head— AHHHHH! What is that! What is that! Hyung, are you even human? How can you have such a mild reaction to seeing that?”

 

Kim Dobin, who apparently just now saw the rolling mannequin head, thrashed around while screaming.

 

“Stop flailing. I’ll throw you down and leave.”

 

At my warning, Kim Dobin became docile again, and I readjusted my hold on him as we entered the final course.

 

Rusty iron doors lined both sides of the narrow hallway. They were isolation room cells.

 

Red lights hanging from the ceiling flickered ominously.

 

As we were passing through the hallway, suddenly BANG! The sound of a door opening came from behind us.

 

“Hyung, hyung! Ghost! Ghost! Ghost!”

 

The sound of running footsteps mixed with Kim Dobin’s urgent voice reached us.

 

“Hyung, hyung, a ghost is chasing right up to your back right now!”

 

“Oh, okay.”

 

Kim Dobin grabbed my shirt and shook it frantically while shouting urgently.

 

“I’m making eye contact with the ghost right now!”

 

“Yeah, I can’t see it.”

 

If you don’t want to make eye contact with a ghost, just lower your head.

 

As I continued walking at the same tempo while responding indifferently, Kim Dobin now started pounding my back with his fists like knocking on a door.

 

“AHHHHH! Hurry! Hurry, hyung! Khehhh… please save me…!”

 

“Oh, our Dobin is even giving me a back massage.”

 

When I walked a bit faster because Kim Dobin seemed like he might pass out, the footsteps following us also got much faster.

 

BANG! BANG! The sound of doors opening was heard two more times.

 

I let out a deep sigh and started running lightly. Kim Dobin was now completely prostrating himself in apology.

 

“I’m sorry! Sumimasen! Sorry for coming in! Just sorry for everything!”

 

“We paid money to come in, so why should we be sorry?”

 

“AHHH! Hyung! What if the ghost folks get angry hearing that!”

 

“It’s fine, this is Japan so they can’t understand Korean.”

 

Finally, the exit came into view. The ghosts that had been chasing us had disappeared at some point.

 

When we came out through the exit, only then did Kim Dobin catch his breath.

 

“I’ll put you down now, so walk on your own two feet.”

 

“I really look like I’m about to walk on all fours, but couldn’t you carry me just a little more… I have no strength in my arms and legs…”

 

“Geez.”

 

As I approached the members while still carrying Kim Dobin, Ryu Jaehee covered his mouth and giggled at the sight of Kim Dobin who was practically wilted.

 

“I knew Dobin hyung would be like that.”

 

“Hey, but Dobin carried me in a princess carry and ran with me, you know? I was so touched by that, that’s why I carried him like this.”

 

“Dobin hyung carried you and ran? No way, that’s impossible. He probably dropped you as soon as he tried to lift you and got a earful of curses.”

 

“Watch the broadcast. See if it’s real or not.”

 

Kim Dobin, who had been drooping, suddenly perked up and shouted as soon as Seo Yehyeon approached.

 

“It’s crazy! Really crazy!”

 

“Right! I told you it was crazy!”

 

Seo Yehyeon’s words, as he nodded enthusiastically in agreement, were denied in just 1 second.

 

“No, not the Hell Maze, Eden hyung is crazy! The Hell Maze is crazy too, but Eden hyung is crazier! This hyung is really castrated!”

 

“Yoon Eden is… what did you say he was…?”

 

“This hyung really had his fear castrated!”

 

“Hey, you should say the subject properly from the beginning! Why are you making me into a eunuch!”

 

When I got angry and tried to throw him to the ground, Kim Dobin hurriedly explained.

 

“My brain froze so I didn’t finish my words!”

 

After putting Kim Dobin down on the ground and rolling my stiff shoulders, Ryu Jaehee asked.

 

“But how many missions did you hyungs succeed at?”

 

“Two.”

 

When I showed the photos as proof, gasps of admiration came from the two scaredy-cats who had gone in before us.

 

“Wow, it was actually possible to succeed at those?”

 

“Look at Dobin hyung’s expression, hyung. If he hadn’t gone with Eden hyung, this hyung definitely couldn’t have succeeded.”

 

Kim Dobin’s expression in the photo was familiar. It was his expression 1 second before entering the recording studio.

 

No, damn. Then does that mean the recording studio is on the same level as this ghost house right now?

 

After seeing off Gyeon Hajun to the entrance for his solo challenge, Kim Dobin and I went into the human theater interview.

 

“Out of all the many songs, why did you choose to sing a military song?”

 

“Well, maybe it’s the aftereffects of … It just came out naturally.”

 

Next to me, Kim Dobin giggled, calling it a yang energy supply song. The guy who shouted Pika*chu has a lot to say. Then is that an electric supply song beyond yang energy?

 

“Why did you carry and run with Eden?”

 

“I absolutely can’t go alone without Eden hyung, but Eden hyung said he’d abandon me if I clung to him… So I thought, what if I carry hyung instead.”

 

“Can you normally lift Eden up like that?”

 

“No way? Completely impossible. People say humans display superhuman strength when in crisis.”

 

Thanks to that, he now has no strength in his arms at all, Kim Dobin said while dangling his arms and pretending to cry.

 

I occasionally threw in some comments to the three who were chattering about what happened in the Hell Maze with a bit of exaggeration mixed in, while gulping down water.

 

After 30 minutes, Gyeon Hajun returned with the exact same complexion as when he went in.

 

On Gyeon Hajun’s head was the rabbit hat that I couldn’t find, sitting there proudly. Which means…

 

“I succeeded at all three missions.”

 

Gyeon Hajun showed two selcas, proving his mission all-clear.

 

“It seems like Hajun hyung also had his fear castrated.”

 

“Why, are you going to speak without the subject again?”

 

“Hajun hyung is the craziest. To go in there alone and complete all three missions.”

 

“Wow, look how calm his expression is in the selca. Hajun, weren’t you really scared?”

 

“Of course it was scary. But it wasn’t quite at the level where I’d abandon the missions and run away?”

 

At the award ceremony that followed, I clapped and expressed my regret dramatically.

 

“Ah, if only it wasn’t for Dobin!”

 

“Now, let’s also give applause to Eden hyung who completed two missions even while carrying Dobin hyung!”

 

But since the winning prize was ‘Reality Trip Leadership’ which wasn’t appealing at all, I cleanly let go of any regrets.

 

Good luck, Jun!

 

 

 

* * *

 

 

 

The great national holiday, Chuseok, was approaching.

 

Like other idols, Rev’s official YouTube channel also uploaded Chuseok greetings filmed while dressed in hanbok.

 

But for Daydream, Rev’s fandom, there was another gift besides that.

 

It was the reality show Chuseok special episode.

 

Yoon Jeonga anxiously checked the time on her cell phone while glancing at the living room television. The news was still in full swing.

 

That living room television could only have its channels changed by Grandfather with the remote control.

 

If she seized the remote control from Grandfather’s hands to watch something like an idol variety special, she would immediately face his fury and be dragged to her room to get scolded by Mom as well—that much was obvious.

 

In front of such a particularly strict grandfather, the only person in this family home who could do and say whatever they wanted was Yoon Eden.

 

The master bedroom television had long been occupied by her cousin brothers watching Chuseok special movies.

 

“Damn, it’s starting soon… Ah, I need to see our Yehyeon oppa’s face up close… This is annoying, I said I’d stay home but Mom and Dad dragged me here…”

 

Glancing at Grandfather every ten seconds as he sat firmly on the sofa with no intention of going to his room, Yoon Jeonga muttered resentful complaints under her breath.

 

“That damn Yoon Eden doesn’t show his face even once during holidays despite being a grandson, tsk.”

 

At Grandfather’s muttering, which clearly showed his displeasure, Yoon Jeonga nodded and expressed intense agreement.

 

If only Yoon Eden were here, he could have gotten the remote control from those cousin brothers in the master bedroom so I could watch the channel I wanted…! Without her ally, that delinquent-like but reliable cousin brother, holidays were truly miserable.

 

“Eden went to Japan this time because of his schedule, Father. I’ll definitely bring him next New Year.”

 

“What kind of agency schedules work during holidays? Tell him to quit!”

 

Even at Second Uncle’s words, Grandfather’s displeased expression didn’t soften.

 

A thought suddenly flashed through Yoon Jeonga’s mind. This is an opportunity.

 

“Grandfather, do you miss Eden oppa?”

 

“Miss him? What’s there to miss about a kid who doesn’t respect his elders?”

 

“No, Grandfather definitely misses Eden oppa. That’s why you were looking for him.”

 

With Grandfather not moving as she wanted, Yoon Jeonga proceeded with brainwashing.

 

“If you give me the remote control, I can show him to you right now.”

 

Having finally obtained the remote control from Grandfather’s hands, Yoon Jeonga immediately switched to the channel broadcasting .

 

She could watch her bias Seo Yehyeon, and Grandfather could see the grandson he missed—wasn’t this killing two birds with one stone? It was truly fortunate that her cousin brother was in the same group as her bias.

 

“Wow, it started!”

 

Photos of the five members each striking poses briefly flashed by with the logo appearing, then an elegant hanok house door filled the screen.
