A Regression Guide for Idols Who Lost Their Initial Intentions Episode 198

 

 

 

 

 

The final filming day for the reality show was approaching.

 

Since the planned 5-part Human Theater series filming was also finished, the final shoot would conclude with Gyeon Hajun using his reward of ‘Reality Travel Leadership’ that he received for clearing the Hell Maze mission.

 

“Doby, let’s not talk nonsense about going to Hawaii.”

 

At my warning, Kim Dobin turned around with an annoying expression that made me want to smack the back of his head.

 

“I also know that going to Hawaii this time is ridiculous, you know?”

 

“I already got word from the PD that they’d prefer if we avoided overseas destinations if possible.”

 

Gyeon Hajun calmly continued the conversation.

 

“So, do you have somewhere in mind?”

 

At Seo Yehyeon’s question, who was already searching for domestic travel destination recommendations on his phone, Gyeon Hajun nodded.

 

“Remember when we went on that Jeju Island trip for the final filming of My Idol? That couldn’t be broadcast and only went up on YouTube as behind-the-scenes content. I thought it might be good to recreate that. We could revive our memories and compare how much we’ve grown since My Idol.”

 

“Oh, that’s good.”

 

It seemed like a pretty decent idea, so I immediately voiced my approval.

 

“Hey, Yoon Eden. Would you have said it was good even if Hajun suggested cycling across the country?”

 

I raised my eyebrows and responded to Seo Yehyeon’s random question.

 

“No. Why? Do you think I unconditionally agree with Hajun’s opinions? The Jeju Island trip recreation is genuinely doable and the planning concept is good, so I’m okay with it. Cycling across the country is different.”

 

Who would think someone lacks self-identity and principles enough to agree with the most terrible travel idea that would be boring for broadcast and just hellishly difficult for such a pointless question?

 

“Hmm, that also looks pretty good though. Should we change it to cycling across the country? Everyone’s in good shape, and it would be nice to pray for Rev’s great success next year, wouldn’t it?”

 

No, Jun, that’s a bit…

 

I wondered if he was doing this because he wanted to see my self-identity and principles disappear, so I glanced to the side, but Gyeon Hajun’s face was completely serious without a hint of laughter.

 

When we made bucket lists in the self-content before regression, Gyeon Hajun’s bucket list included ‘Complete cycling across the country,’ so even I wasn’t sure if this was acting or sincere.

 

“Jun, are you serious…?”

 

When I asked cautiously, Gyeon Hajun nodded with his face still serious.

 

“Cycling across the country is on my bucket list. I promised myself I’d definitely try it someday when I became an adult, so doing it now wouldn’t be bad, right?”

 

My eyes began to tremble as I deduced through the big data I’d accumulated before regression that this was Gyeon Hajun’s sincere feeling.

 

Kim Dobin urgently poked my thigh. His eyes were overflowing with desperate determination that he absolutely didn’t want to go cycling across the country.

 

Ryu Jaehee and Seo Yehyeon, who had brought up cycling across the country, also had expressions saying they were screwed and were giving me looks asking me to do something about it.

 

“If that’s what you want, Jun… Um… you have the leadership authority…”

 

Yes, damn it. I’m a person with no self-identity or principles.

 

But when Gyeon Hajun, who has the travel leadership, says he wants to go, what can I do in this situation?

 

“Hey, Yoon Eden! Don’t bring up your Hajun favoritism even in a situation like this!”

 

Seo Yehyeon shouted urgently.

 

“Why are you reacting like that when hyung brought it up first?”

 

Gyeon Hajun asked with a face that genuinely didn’t understand.

 

“No, Hajun. That was just giving an example, and I also think your original idea of recreating the Jeju trip is the best.”

 

Seo Yehyeon, the very person who had unnecessarily brought up this nonsense and created this mess, tried to somehow fix the situation.

 

“Is it that bad?”

 

As Gyeon Hajun looked at me and asked, seeming strangely disappointed, I couldn’t bring myself to nod, and the gazes of the three non-Hajun members hit me intensely.

 

“It is pretty bad.”

 

Seeing his lips form a straight line at the heavy truth I revealed, it seemed like it really was sincere and not acting.

 

If anyone other than Gyeon Hajun had said that, I would have told them to go ride their bicycle to their heart’s content.

 

“Then there’s no choice. Let’s go on the Jeju recreation trip.”

 

In the end, Gyeon Hajun, who accepted the majority opinion and gave up his bucket list item, declared.

 

I’m sorry, so if Gyeon Hajun ever says he wants to cycle across the country later, I’ll have to shut up and follow him.

 

“Then that means we have to watch the video we filmed back then.”

 

“We have to do that self-torture again?”

 

I still vividly remember getting internal injuries from watching while trying to revive the reality experience.

 

But watching that video was unavoidable to plan the route.

 

Kim Dobin, who entered the official YouTube channel on his laptop, clicked on the video that had already reached 1.26 million views with trembling hands.

 

We skipped through the airport part at the beginning and started watching from when the driving began.

 

“Even though this filming was from May last year, why does everyone look so clueless?”

 

“Wow, Eden hyung is talking nonsense saying he came out looking cool by himself.”

[Rev Time]

 

[Final Story – Rev’s Travel Journal]

 

-I can’t believe it’s already the last episode ㅠㅠㅠㅠ Rep-tam production team, please make like 100 episodes ㅠㅠㅠ

 

-We just watched reality content but they gave us a variety gift set from ecological observation documentary to human documentary to travel content

 

[Eden: Whether then or now, I’m the one in charge of driving, right?]

 

 

 

Yoon Eden, wearing sunglasses, lightly clicked his tongue while adjusting the rearview mirror angle.

 

 

 

[Hajun: Should I do it this time?]

 

[Eden: It’s fine, I’ll pass it over if I get tired. If it’s a recreation trip, we should do it as similarly as possible.]

 

[Conversation between the only two people in Rev who can drive]

 

-Our Juni finally escaped from being a closet license holder…!

 

-Oh the youngest made a playlist and it’s exactly the same as back then ㅋㅋ even started listening to music from the same spot ㅋㅋㅋ

 

 

 

[Yuje: To briefly update you on our current situation, Yehyeon hyung still hasn’t gotten his driver’s license, Doby hyung got his license but it’s a closet license, and I’m definitely planning to get mine next year. Seeing Yehyeon hyung made me feel a sense of urgency.]

 

[Yehyeon: Youngest, want to get it together…?]

 

 

 

While the eldest hyung and youngest member made a determined pledge to definitely get their driver’s licenses next year.

 

The car passed the coastal road and arrived at the beach where the Rev members had come a year and six months ago.

 

 

 

[Hajun: Back then we dipped our calves in the seawater.]

 

[Yuje: Hajun hyung, surely… no, right…?]

 

[Doby: Hyung, it’s November now. Can’t you see that seawater that clearly looks cold and would guarantee a cold if we went in?]

 

 

 

At Kim Dobin’s frantic dissuasion, Gyeon Hajun nodded.

 

 

 

[Hajun: Yeah, I also think it would be a bit much for all of us to go in.]

 

[Doby: As expected, God-Hajun hyung!]

 

[Hajun: Just the three of you go in, excluding me and Eden.]

 

-Why are you guys sneaking away lololololol

 

-Rev’s real power: Same Age Duo

 

 

 

The faces of Yoon Eden, who was clapping and laughing as if it wasn’t his problem since he avoided getting in the water, and the three who looked dumbfounded, flashed across the screen in turn.

 

 

 

[Yehyeon: Wait, why are you two same-age guys excluded?]

 

[Hajun: Well, I’m the person who has the travel leadership, and Eden is driving.]

 

[When you hear it, it makes sense so they can’t really argue back…]

 

-Exactly lol A skilled driver is precious lol

 

-Does Hajun also have some non-Yoon Eden discrimination?

 

[Doby: Hyung, would you exclude me too if I said I’d drive?]

 

[Yehyeon: Hajun, is there no special treatment for the eldest?]

 

[Doby and Yehyeon subtly trying to make a deal]

 

 

 

Even under the Puss in Boots stare directed at me, Gyeon Hajun remained resolute.

 

 

 

[Hajun: Doby, it’ll be trouble if you get in an accident with a rental car. And there’s nothing like that, Yehyeon hyung.]

 

[Eden: Right, when you and hyung are less than a month apart in age, what’s this about respecting elders?]

 

[Iron-clad defense from the two water entry exemption privilege holders]

 

-What’s with Hajun’s mental strength… How can he be so resolute facing those stares

 

-For real, I would’ve already offered up my house deed,,

 

 

 

[Yuje: Back then we did go in up to our calves, but the waves made us get wet even higher. These are winter pants so they’re thick and won’t roll up past the calves, plus once they get wet they don’t dry well and you’ll catch a cold.]

 

[The youngest member’s logical persuasion leads to a dramatic compromise of up to the ankles!]

 

 

 

Ryu Jaehee, Kim Dobin, and Seo Yehyeon took off their shoes and socks, rolled up their pants, and walked into the sea with grim expressions.

 

 

 

[Dobin: Ack, it’s cold!]

 

[Yehyeon: We’re probably the only ones going into the sea in November, haha…]

 

[Yuje: This was supposed to be a healing trip, so why does it feel like punishment?]

 

[Yehyeon: It would’ve felt different if we all went in together, but those guys won’t come in.]

 

[The bright leader waves back at the resentful glares]

 

 

 

The three quickly came out when the waves rushed in and received towels from Gyeon Hajun.

 

After putting their shoes back on and leaving the beach, Gyeon Hajun announced the next schedule.

 

 

 

[Hajun: Next is the fishing experience.]

 

[Yuje: What about horseback riding? Didn’t we split 2 to 3 back then to do different experiences?]

 

[Hajun: Since Rev is five as one, I decided there’s no point in doing separate experiences, so we’re all doing fishing.]

 

[Dobin: But why fishing instead of horseback riding? I wanted to do horseback riding, tsk.]

 

[Eden: How dare you object to the decision of the trip leader who holds the initiative?]

 

 

 

When Yoon Eden scolded Kim Dobin, Seo Yehyeon quietly spoke up.

 

 

 

[Yehyeon: I know. I heard yesterday. Yoon Eden told Hajun he wanted to go fishing.]

 

[The truth is revealed… ☆]

 

 

 

Kim Dobin looked around at the members with a displeased expression and asked.

 

 

 

[Dobin: Should we start chanting “Stop non-Yoon Eden discrimination” too?]

 

-Please stop the anti-Gyeon Hajun and anti-Yoon Eden discrimination

 

-Is this what they call favoritism?

 

 

 

[Hajun: No one gets seasick, right?]

 

[Yuje: Captain, hello!]

 

[All Rev members board the fishing boat!]

 

 

 

Except for Yoon Eden and Gyeon Hajun who had experienced it once last year, the other three listened to the explanation and started fishing.

 

 

 

[Yehyeon: I caught one…! Guys, I caught one!]

 

[Finally experiencing the first hand feel!]

 

 

 

30 minutes after casting his line, Seo Yehyeon triumphantly lifted up the sea bream he caught, but looked flustered when the reaction was lukewarm.

 

 

 

[Yehyeon: Why is everyone’s reaction so lackluster?]

 

[Yuje silently points to one side]

 

[Following that finger and turning his head…]

 

[Eden: Wow, this one’s big! This is really a big one!]

 

[!?]

 

 

 

In the tank at Yoon Eden’s feet, who was struggling with his taut fishing line, caught fish were teeming.

 

 

 

[Yehyeon: What? What’s with him? When did he catch all those?]

 

[Dobin: Eden hyung’s fishing luck is insane. That hyung must have been the Dragon King in his past life.]

 

-Wow that’s a talent our family’s fishing-crazy uncle would envy

 

-Yoon Eden passes as our dad’s son-in-law candidate~!!

 

 

 

[Eden: This time I wanted to leisurely cast my line and fall into contemplation like Jiang Taigong.]

 

[Yehyeon: What’s fun about that?]

 

[Eden: There is. It’s a pleasure that hyung, who doesn’t have to suffer from creative agony, wouldn’t need to know.]

 

 

 

With Yoon Eden’s fishing luck exploding and Gyeon Hajun failing to catch a single fish just like that time, the same age duo perfectly recreated that day’s fishing experience.

 

 

 

[Yehyeon: Is this what they call hand feel? Wow, now I understand why everyone gets hooked on fishing.]

 

[Dobin: Says Yehyeon hyung who caught one fish in two hours.]

 

[Yuje: Is this a snipe at me and Hajun hyung who didn’t catch a single fish in two hours?]

 

-Who knew the sharp-minded ones would have no fishing talent

 

-It’s proven today that fish avoid competent people lol

 

 

 

Just like that time, the Rev members returned to the pension after having sashimi, spicy fish stew, and barbecue made from the fish they caught for dinner, and gathered in front of the camera.

 

 

 

[Yuje: Finally, the time I’ve been waiting and waiting for with bated breath has arrived!]

 

 

 

While the hyung line looked grim, the youngest line was beaming as if they’d been waiting for this day alone.

 

 

 

[Yuje: That’s right! Night story time!]
