A Regression Guide for Idols Who Lost Their Initial Intentions Episode 195

 

 

 

 

 

The familiar Human Theater opening melody that all Koreans know played as Rev members’ videos and photos briefly flashed by within white line frames on a black screen.

 

The screen showed Seoul’s skyline as Human Theater’s characteristic calm narration began.

 

 

 

[Five young men who came together for one reason alone – sharing the same dream – despite having completely different backgrounds and personalities.]

 

[We invite you to the story of five youths who ran toward the same goal together, lived while bumping into each other, and eventually became like family.]

 

 

 

The screen turned black, then white calligraphy appeared in the center.

 

 

 

[5-Part Series: Five Brothers Under One Roof]

 

 

 

The screen switched again to show the Rev dorm.

 

 

 

[The alarm sound loudly announces the start of the day.]

 

[The first to wake up is the eldest, Yehyeon.]

 

[Right after washing up, Yehyeon carefully applies sunscreen, fully armed with a hat and mask before immediately leaving the dorm.]

 

 

 

The camera followed Seo Yehyeon as he opened the dorm door and left. After continuing to walk, Seo Yehyeon arrived at the park walking trail near the dorm’s apartment complex.

 

-Wow, I was disappointed they didn’t show him exercising in the first episode

 

 

 

[Yehyeon: There happens to be a park walking trail near our dorm, so I lightly jog for 30 minutes every morning.]

 

[He says lightly, but looking at the exercise intensity, it’s definitely not light at all.]

 

 

 

Seo Yehyeon’s back view as he jogged at running speed was interspersed with shots of two dorm rooms bursting open.

 

 

 

[Next to wake up is the second eldest, Hajun.]

 

[Today, for some reason, even the youngest Jaehee woke up early.]

 

 

 

Ryu Jaehee, brushing down his messy hair, walked to the kitchen and stood next to Gyeon Hajun who was turning on the gas stove under a kimchi stew pot.

 

 

 

[Jaehee: Hyung, is there anything I can help with?]

 

[Hajun: There’s soup left from yesterday evening, want to try making fried eggs?]

 

[Jaehee: Come on, hyung. No matter how bad I am at cooking, I can definitely succeed at fried eggs.]

 

[Despite his confident declaration, the yolk completely burst.]

 

 

 

Gyeon Hajun handed another egg to Ryu Jaehee, who was scratching his cheek while holding the spatula. Following Gyeon Hajun’s advice, the next attempt was fortunately successful!

 

 

 

[While everyone else was waking up, loud alarm sounds rang from inside the tightly closed room.]

 

 

 

Yoon Eden getting up with a grimace and Kim Dobin sleeping soundly despite the loud alarm were shown in sequence. Yoon Eden immediately headed to Kim Dobin’s bed and shook him awake.

 

-Wow, Eden’s morning face is the scary type

 

-Dobin’s appearance is exactly me in the morning

 

 

 

[Eden: Dobin, wake up. The sun is high in the sky.]

 

[Dobin: It’s only 7:30 right now… It’s not high in the sky… I’m not a high schooler anymore, I’m twenty.]

 

[Eden: So what if you’re twenty? I’m twenty-two.]

 

 

 

Yoon Eden grabbed the back of Kim Dobin’s neck as he buried his face in the pillow and shook his head, then made him sit up.

 

 

 

[In the end, Dobin is forcibly dragged to the living room by the leader’s hand.]

 

[Taking advantage of Eden’s absence, he lies on the sofa and tries to sleep again.]

 

[Eden, discovering Dobin like this, heads to the bathroom again.]

 

 

 

Yoon Eden removed the towel around his neck, soaked it in cold water, and pressed it firmly against Kim Dobin’s face.

 

 

 

[Dobin: Ugh, it’s cold!]

 

[Eden: Wake up, man. You can sleep plenty even after you die.]

 

[Dobin: Nobody knows about the afterlife. What if there are seven hells there where you can’t sleep and just keep rolling around? That’s why I want to sleep well while I’m alive.]

 

[Eden: Right, congratulations on your reservation to the hell of sloth.]

 

[Still, thanks to that, Dobin is now fully awake. He heads to the kitchen to help his second hyung.]

 

[He may be a bit lazy, but Dobin has a really kind heart.]

 

[Meanwhile, like Yehyeon, Eden leaves the dorm early in the morning.]

 

[Somehow the route seems familiar.]

 

 

 

Yoon Eden arrived at the walking trail where Seo Yehyeon had come for his morning jog and began walking lightly.

 

 

 

[Eden: I just walk lightly while thinking of lyrics or melodies, and breathe the cool morning air…]

 

[Eden writes something in his phone’s memo app while walking.]

 

[Eden: Song lyrics. I tend to write them down immediately when they come to mind.]

 

 

 

Yoon Eden showed his phone’s memo app with his characteristic refreshing smile.

 

 

 

[Yehyeon, who was running on the trail, spotted Eden.]

 

[Yehyeon: Don’t walk, run! You have to run for it to be exercise!]

 

[Eden: As I keep telling you, this isn’t exercise, it’s part of my creative activities.]

 

 

 

Yoon Eden covered his mouth, yawned lazily once, then responded to Seo Yehyeon’s words.

 

The two bickering – “What you’re doing isn’t exercise, it’s walking,” “I came here to walk, that’s right” – and Yoon Eden’s feet gradually speeding up while pretending not to were shown in sequence.

 

-As expected, Rev’s Tom and Jerry

 

-Yoon acts like that but subtly matches the pace haha

 

 

 

[After finishing their jog-slash-walk, the two headed to the gym near their dorm.]

 

[The real morning workout starts now.]

 

 

 

The screen showed Yoon Eden working out hard at the gym and Seo Yehyeon climbing the stairway to heaven.

 

-There’s a reason why Yehyeoni’s beauty is an all-time legend

 

-Ah crazy, Eden’s arm muscles are insane

 

-Kids, when are you planning to upload the gym vlog we entrusted to you

 

 

 

[Meanwhile, at Rev’s dorm where breakfast preparation is in full swing.]

 

 

 

The scene switched from the gym to the dorm as the camera showed the dining table where food was being prepared.

 

 

 

[Hajun: They’re both a bit late today. Jaehee, call and ask where they are.]

 

[Jaehee: Yes! Eden hyung, where are you? Ah, the elevator? Yes yes. Hajun hyung, he says it won’t even take a minute!]

 

[Eden and Yehyeon arrived right after hanging up the call. They wash up and immediately sit at the dining table.]

 

[Finally, all five brothers are gathered.]

 

[Eden: Let’s eat.]

 

 

 

As Yoon Eden picked up his utensils and spoke, Kim Dobin, who was following suit by picking up his utensils, couldn’t hold back his laughter and let it slip.

 

 

 

[Doby: Pfft.]

 

[Eden: Why are you laughing?]

 

[Doby: When hyung delivers that line, you really sound like a patriarchal father of a household.]

 

[Jaehee: But what I realized while doing the National Rev Geographic narration is, isn’t Yehyeon hyung the oldest here? Why does everyone wait for Eden hyung to pick up his utensils before starting the meal?]

 

[Yehyeon: Right…? Now that I think about it, I was the eldest?]

 

 

 

Seo Yehyeon’s shocked face filled the screen.

 

 

 

[Doby: Just how long have we been doing this…?]

 

[Jaehee: Haven’t we been like this since almost debut? No, were we like this even before debut?]

 

[Doby: No, we weren’t like this before debut. I remember that clearly.]

 

 

 

Kim Dobin shook his head and was waving his utensils in the air when Ryu Jaehee’s hand smacked his thigh, making him quietly put down his utensils and continue speaking.

 

 

 

[Doby: What’s certain is that Jaehee has warned me several times when I picked up my spoon before Eden hyung did. So after that, I waited until Eden hyung picked up his spoon.]

 

[Yehyeon: What, so the youngest member was the guardian of this chaotic patriarchal dining table system?]

 

[Jaehee: No, Doby hyung is younger than Eden hyung. So when he tried to pick up his utensils before Eden hyung, I stopped him. I couldn’t say anything to Hajun hyung and Yehyeon hyung even if they ate first. Both of them have lived longer than Eden hyung.]

 

[Eden: Hey, it’s only a 7 or 8 month difference at most, okay?]

 

 

 

Yoon Eden scratched his head as he refuted Ryu Jaehee’s words.

 

 

 

[Eden: I was really curious about that too, you know? I get that the youngest line follows this because they’re younger than me. But why were you and Yehyeon hyung following this too, Jun?]

 

[Hajun: Eden had a tough time during our early debut days, right? So I thought you guys were treating Eden like the head of the household to take care of him, so I went along with it. Eden is also the leader.]

 

[Jaehee: Ah, so it’s because the leader is like the head of the family?]

 

[Hajun: Something like that, yeah.]

 

[Doby: Then what about Yehyeon hyung?]

 

 

 

Everyone’s gaze turned toward the true eldest member of Rev, Seo Yehyeon, who should have been receiving this courtesy according to proper Confucian tradition.

 

 

 

[Yehyeon: Everyone was just staring at Yoon Eden’s utensils before eating! So I thought some new rule had been established without me knowing! I never dreamed it would be for such vague reasons!]

 

 

 

For some reason looking emotional, Seo Yehyeon raised his voice while banging on the dining table.

 

-No but everyone’s reasons are so trivial that it makes it even funnier lololololol

 

-Half-hearted lol reason lol It’s a word that describes the current situation way too accurately lol

 

-Something’s wrong with this patriarch

 

-But then again, Yoon Eden did contribute the most to Rev getting this far… Acknowledging Rev’s head of household…

 

 

 

[Jaehee: So in the end, Yehyeon hyung got swept up in mob mentality.]

 

[Yehyeon: I really thought you guys had a meeting without me while I was at individual schedules and established some new rule!]

 

[Eden: What, so it wasn’t an action that came from a respectful heart toward the leader?]

 

[Yehyeon: Why do you look shocked again.]

 

-Wait, did Yoon even know that Seo Yehyeon has been following him around because she respects him this whole time? ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

 

-What is this nonsense about Jerry respecting Tom lol

 

 

 

[A quiet meal among the bereaved family.]

 

[The truth about the dining table rules revealed after 3 years since debut seems to have shocked everyone.]

 

 

 

After the meal ended, interviews with the members followed.

 

 

 

[Production Crew: This wasn’t part of the script?]

 

[Doby: No, except for Eden hyung’s lines, it’s 100% a real situation. Eden hyung doesn’t usually say “let’s eat,” so we have to watch Eden hyung’s hands before eating.]

 

[Eden: Anyone listening would think I’m establishing hierarchy. I never forced this once. They just did it on their own.]

 

[Eden immediately clarifying in case others might misunderstand.]

 

[Just from his expression, he seems quite wronged.]

 

 

 

Seo Yehyeon, who still seemed unable to recover from the shock, was the next interview subject.

 

 

 

[Production Crew: As the team’s eldest member, will you continue to follow this dining etiquette?]

 

[Yehyeon: What choice do I have… This has already established itself as a culture within Rev.]

 

 

 

Seo Yehyeon answered with an enlightened expression, nodding his head. And the final interview subject was…

 

 

 

[Production Crew: Have you ever felt burdened by this dining etiquette?]

 

[Eden: I don’t know about feeling burdened, but I did feel responsibility. Like, ah, I really need to provide for this group somehow.]

 

 

 

The four members, excluding Seo Yehyeon who was on dish duty, gathered around the sofa.

 

 

 

[Jaehee: But what do we do now? It’s a bit awkward to go exactly like National Rev Geographic.]

 

[Doby: Why are you asking us that? Isn’t this the kind of thing the youngest should handle efficiently?]

 

[Jaehee: What did you say? Hyung, did you just finish talking?]

 

[Eden: Fight, fight. This is probably where it cuts off and the ending music plays.]

 

 

 

The youngest line members jumped up and glared at each other face to face, while behind them, Yoon Eden clapped and laughed with a face that said he was dying of amusement, and this scene was frozen as the Human Theater ending music played.

 

-Even though it’s similar content, when I watched the first episode it was definitely like observing wild animals in their habitat, but today it really felt like the kids appeared on Human Theater

 

-No but the way they deliberately create conflict situations and then cut it off is literally like Human Theater itself ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
