A Regression Guide for Idols Who Lost Their Initial Intentions Episode 224
Ryu Jaehee, who entered the room with me after being quarantined, let out the breath he had been holding.
“I answered correctly, right? You asked so suddenly that my mind went blank for a moment.”
“Don’t ask me. How would I know whether you got it right or wrong?”
Still, judging by Grandfather’s satisfied expression, it seemed Ryu Jaehee hadn’t given a wrong answer.
“But why did he suddenly test me…?”
“Could it be because of that? He said he watched Rev Time’s Chuseok special during Chuseok. You carried the ancestral rite table setting back then.”
Wow, I thought he only watched the beginning and turned it off, but he watched that far.
The Chuseok special must have really hit Grandfather’s taste.
That old man isn’t the type to keep watching something boring just to see my face.
“Hmm, so does that mean appealed to all age groups? It doesn’t mean it was old-fashioned, right?”
Yoon Jeonga entered the room holding her phone horizontally and responded to my serious muttering.
“No, it wasn’t old-fashioned. I was just desperately guarding the remote so he couldn’t change the channel.”
“Ah, that makes sense.”
Right, Grandfather wouldn’t be like that. I asked Yoon Jeonga, who was staring at her phone screen as if she might crawl into it.
“I thought I heard Juni’s voice just now, what are you watching?”
“Huh? Rev’s New Year’s greeting that just went up.”
“Oh, it’s already uploaded? That’s fast.”
“Thanks to oppa, realizing that we filmed this in advance makes me feel really weird.”
Yoon Jeonga looked back and forth between me and the video and let out a deflated sigh.
But that was brief, as she started spouting unbearable praise about how the prince’s dragon robe suited Seo Yehyeon perfectly.
Curious about how it turned out, we also sneaked over next to Yoon Jeonga to watch the video.
After the greeting and deep bow ended, I finally realized the intention behind the following bonus footage and pressed my forehead.
“Wow, no wonder they rented those unique hanbok too!”
“I think the video editing staff changed though. Before, they used to edit carelessly and just upload, but this time they cleanly edited and connected the parts that were bothering us.”
When Yoon Jeonga, who had been listening to our conversation, blinked, Ryu Jaehee added an explanation.
“You know, those things. Really trivial comments that could make individual fans get emotional and flare up at each other.”
“Ah, I know, I know. These days LnL seems to be doing some work. Even the scheduler design changed, didn’t it?”
LnL, after Parachute who was the most rotten element left, was being reorganized in its own way.
The CEO putting down his belief in his own intuition just a little bit also played a part.
Thinking the system would probably count this as a Search Quest too, I glanced over at Yoon Jeonga’s phone showing fans’ reactions.
It looked like a cafe app with comments being posted in real-time.
-I think Yehyeon would have looked elegant and beautiful in women’s hanbok too, such a shame ㅜㅜ
-Eden’s cheollik is really perfect
-Hajun would have looked good in anything (except modified hanbok)
-Yuje ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Our school’s Chinese character teacher’s outfit and comments are so spot on ㅋㅋㅋ
-Rev should do a comeback with hanbok concept
-Looking for a gif of Doby dancing
“Why does your scrolling speed get faster whenever my name is mentioned?”
When I asked with narrowed eyes, Yoon Jeonga scratched her cheek and made excuses.
“Somehow reading oppa’s praise makes me cringe… But oppa, did you see this?”
Yoon Jeonga hurriedly tried to change the subject. What she showed me was a From post that Seo Yehyeon uploaded yesterday.
[From. Yehyeon]

Daydream, are you having a good Lunar New Year holiday? I’m having a fun Lunar New Year holiday with our Caesar whom I met after a long time~ Maybe because it’s been so long, he won’t leave my side hehe Our Daydream should also eat lots of delicious holiday food and have a happy and comfortable Lunar New Year holiday♥
Comments 8975
-Yehyeon, receive lots of New Year’s blessings! Please take care of us this year too!
-Eden was bragging about his puppy but Yehyeon is bragging about his cat lol
-Cat + handsome guy combination is love
-Caesar was clingy, but if I were Caesar I wouldn’t want to leave either
-Wow Caesar strangely resembles Eden
└Oh for realㅋㅋㅋ
└Wow I felt some déjà vu and this was it
└I can really see Eden lol Is Eden Yehyeon’s favorite member?
He hadn’t posted cat photos until now, but it seemed he uploaded this to show off after seeing the Podo photo I posted. If not, that would be unfortunate.
“Look at this double standard. He told us to be careful with holiday food.”
“Fans and members are different, hyung. Fans don’t have the obligation to stand in front of cameras looking neat.”
While Ryu Jaehee and I were having a trivial conversation about the post, Yoon Jeonga showed me Caesar’s photo and insisted.
“That’s not the important part! He really looks like oppa.”
Judging from Yoon Jeonga’s reaction and the comments on From, I could clearly picture Seo Yehyeon making a fuss about how they don’t look alike.
“Does Yehyeon oppa look at oppa’s face to ease his longing whenever he misses Caesar?”
“Would he? What kind of imagination is that? That guy practically has a seizure when you say I look like his cat.”
When I replied with disgust at the horrible thought, Yoon Jeonga muttered.
“But they really do look alike…”
“Your beloved Yehyeon oppa hates hearing that to the point of near nervous breakdown, you know?”
“Really? Then they don’t look alike.”
What’s with that fan devotion, her attitude change was remarkably fast. Still, it was better than listening to Yoon Jeonga’s praise of Cha Yeonho.
It was already torture before regression when we were just unfamiliar seniors and juniors, but now that we’ve seen everything and built up a proper bad relationship, I don’t think I could listen to it.
“By the way, did you get into university?”
She did get in before regression, but knowing that the future doesn’t roll exactly the same as before regression, I casually asked.
Besides, wasn’t this Yoon Jeonga an Altair fan before regression, not a Rev fan?
Of course, even if she had failed to get into university, it wouldn’t have been Rev’s fault. What is Altair, some university admission charm?
“Ahhh! Even oppa whom I trusted asks me that question…!”
“How many times have you heard that question now?”
“Yesterday at our maternal grandparents’ house, to death!”
“Grandfather will definitely ask during New Year’s greetings or meal time anyway. If you’re going to get scolded, this oppa is sacrificing himself to draw aggro for you, and you don’t even understand my broad intentions, you brat.”
Yoon Jeonga nodded with an enlightened face and quickly answered.
“I got in.”
I felt much more relieved, thinking it was fortunate that this future hadn’t changed.
If Yoon Jeonga had to repeat senior year and Youngest Aunt thought it was because she was a Rev fan… hmm.
Then I’d get another title in this family: ‘the guy who prevented his cousin from going to university.’ Yoon Jeonga hesitated and added a comment.
“I got in, but it might not satisfy Grandfather…?”
When I heard the university name, it was the same place she got into before regression. A mid-to-upper tier university in the metropolitan area.
“Still, you did well. What’s there to worry about when there’s a guy who didn’t go to university right next to you?”
I scolded Yoon Jeonga who reflexively glanced at Ryu Jaehee.
“Hey, he got into university through regular admission.”
“Wow, really? Where where? What’s your first choice? Applied music? Film studies? Or just a regular major?”
Despite the barrage of questions, Ryu Jaehee answered calmly.
“I just took the practical exam for H University’s applied music department and I’m waiting for the acceptance announcement. And just in case, I applied to two places for regular admission.”
“Huh? When did you take the practical exam?”
“Last week.”
“Why didn’t you tell us?”
“Well, hyung’s condition was a bit rough, and I didn’t want to make the hyungs worry about my entrance exams. Everyone was busy.”
Come to think of it, last week was when I had blown away five days of memories due to a massive penalty.
Realizing that even if I had known, I probably wouldn’t have been much help anyway, I felt lighter.
“With your skills, you’ll obviously get in. You’re Rev’s main vocalist.”
I patted Ryu Jaehee’s back and grinned.
“If you applied through regular admission, did your CSAT scores come out well?”
“Well, better than I thought?”
“Wow, you must be good at studying. Wasn’t the Korean difficulty level really insane this time? There were people at our test center who went home after taking Korean? Math was hard too, wasn’t it?”
“Korean was okay for me, but math was… Jeonga, what did you take for social studies?”
“I took Life Ethics and Korean Geography. What about you?”
“I took Life Ethics and Law and Politics. Did you get a good grade in Life Ethics?”
I sent a reply to Gyeon Hajun while listening to the conversation between these two former exam students who were getting fired up talking about the CSAT.
[Gyeon Hajun- Is Jaehee doing well?] 8:04 AM
[Yeah, he’s doing really well. I think our family’s grandson might change?]
[By the way, you got up early for a holiday] 8:04 AM
[Gyeon Hajun- We have to perform ancestral rites]
[Gyeon Hajun- You too?] 8:05 AM
[Yeah yeah, I ended up getting dragged here lol]
[Loading Hyoryun Diss Rap Part 2 lol lol] 8:06 AM
[Gyeon Hajun- Don’t do it] 8:06 AM
[The outcome will change depending on Grandfather’s attitude]
[I’m not crazy enough to spit out diss rap without context, Jun] 8:07 AM
I also didn’t want to perform on a stage with no response since it would be boring. I could only hope that I wouldn’t have to let the Hyoryun Diss Rap Part 2 that I had prepared slip out of my mouth.
After performing the ancestral rites, the time approached for what was no different from an annual event – paying New Year’s respects to our grandparents.
Since I had been absent from this annual event for a long time, it felt quite awkward.
“Please receive much good fortune in the new year.”
I bowed deeply and received the envelopes handed to me one by one along with well-wishes.
“You need to come to your senses and live properly.”
I responded just as warmly to Grandfather’s warm words of blessing.
“I’m already living with my senses intact. You can tell just by the fact that I didn’t spit out Hyoryun Diss Rap Part 2 in front of the ancestral table.”
The envelope that was thinner than others let me know that my New Year’s money was 300,000 won today as well.
Since we hadn’t prepared Ryu Jaehee’s envelope in advance, Grandfather took money out of his wallet.
I confirmed with eagle eyes that there were six 50,000 won bills and shouted.
“Wait, stop!”
Everyone’s attention focused on me. Ryu Jaehee, who had just taken a step forward to receive his New Year’s money, turned to look at me and desperately shook his head as if telling me not to say anything.
But I couldn’t just stand by and watch this situation unfold.
“You’re giving our prospective college student only 300,000 won right now? Are you trying to break your own beliefs right now, Grandfather? Huh?”
