A Regression Guide for Idols Who Lost Their Initial Intentions Episode 236

The members who had changed into their stage outfits continued the performance.

Being able to hear B-side tracks live that couldn’t be heard on music shows was the greatest advantage of concerts.

Just now, Yuje and Seo Yehyeon had taken turns giving cute hand kisses and shy finger hearts, and this time Yoon Eden approached hesitantly from this direction and quietly waved his hand.

When Miss Kim screamed while covering her mouth at her bias’s fan service, his red-dyed hair making his features stand out even more, the grandfather in the next seat flinched and looked back at her.

But was it just her imagination that they seemed to receive the members’ fan service unusually often?

“This next stage is ‘Off the Record,’ a B-side track from our first full album, and this song actually competed with ‘Escape’ for the title track until the very end.”

“Yes, it was very intense.”

“We’ve always wanted to properly show this on stage at least once, and today we’re finally fulfilling that wish.”

‘Off the Record’ was a musical concept dance genre song with a brass section chorus, and it was always ranked among the masterpieces when listing Rev’s best B-side tracks.

When the lights dimmed and a spotlight shone on just one spot, Yoon Eden, who had been standing alone in the center of the stage, bowed politely.

Eden began rapping along with a lightly arranged beat that had only melody layered on top.

The spotlight followed Eden with each step he took. After finishing his rap part, Eden stood in front of Yuje and clapped a slate.

The screen lit up, and Yuje began singing while holding a standing microphone against a retro-style stage backdrop.

The Rev members created a complete musical on the wide stage with the dancers, utilizing the rapidly changing screen backgrounds and props.

Especially Seo Yehyeon’s appearance holding the microphone inside a phone booth against a snowy background with his eyes gently closed naturally drew admiration even from Miss Kim, who wasn’t a Yehyeon bias.

When Yoon Eden, who had received a rose from a dancer before his part, hesitated, the members all rushed over and pushed him toward A Section.

Miss Kim’s heart beat rapidly as Yoon Eden swept back his bangs and gradually approached her.

‘Could it be…?’

Yoon Eden came down from the stage while rapping and handed the rose over the barrier. The extended rose was positioned slightly away from her.

[You make me want to be a better man]

Along with the simple confession line, the grandfather’s face became sour as he unexpectedly received the rose.

Though she was disappointed not to receive the rose herself, her bias’s respect for elders was quite touching.

Before Miss Kim could even appreciate Yoon Eden’s face up close, he quickly climbed back onto the stage.

The group choreography with perfectly synchronized angles continued with the chorus, and the stage finished like a scene from a curtain call.

“The next stage was prepared by our rapper line hyungs. Do you call Eden Hyung and Yehyeon Hyung ‘Tom and Jerry’ when you put them together? When we suggested Tom and Jerry as their unit name, they bickered for a long time about who would be Tom and who would be Jerry.”

Yuje spoke into the microphone with a cheerful voice. When laughter erupted from the audience, Yuje grinned and added,

“But since neither wanted to be Tom or Jerry, their unit name ended up being EnY. Yes, that’s right. Eden and Yehyeon. Taking the first letters of their English names.”

“It took the hyungs less than a minute to decide on that.”

Kim Dobin suddenly chimed in like a tattletale and smiled mischievously.

“When we told them to pronounce it as ‘Eny’ instead of reading it as ‘E-and-Y,’ they both said they didn’t like that either. Yehyeon Hyung and Eden have surprisingly similar tastes in things like that.”

Laughter erupted from the audience once again at Gyeon Hajun’s words.

“Then let’s meet EnY’s unit stage right now!”

As the three who winked and gave cue signs with their fingers went down below the stage, a specially prepared VCR played since this was the only unit among the solo stages.

The screen showed Yoon Eden and Seo Yehyeon sitting across from each other in a conference room with serious expressions.

[Eden: I wonder if it’s really right to give Yehyeon Hyung the chorus part.]

[Yehyeon: Why? Want me to rap?]

[Eden: No, the lyrics just… don’t seem to suit you, Hyung. You don’t look like a villain from the start.]

[Yehyeon: I can look like a villain too, you know?]

Exclamations of “cute” erupted from all around the audience at Yehyeon’s appearance with his eyes full of determination.

[Eden: Don’t tell me you think that’s a menacing expression?]

[Yehyeon: Doesn’t it look menacing?]

[Eden: Uh, totally not. Should we change the lyrics then? ‘Whatever I do becomes okay’?]

[Yehyeon: I can look more like a villain than you!]

Yoon Eden shook his head at Yehyeon’s confident expression and turned to the camera to speak.

[Eden: Yes. That’s what he says, Daydream. If you’re curious about how well Yehyeon Hyung can pull off a villain-like appearance, please look forward to our E and-]

[Yehyeon: Y stage!]

Seo Yehyeon, who had also turned his head at the right timing, looked at the camera and waved both hands.

As the VCR was almost ending, Grandfather took out his phone and opened the case cover.

The text size was so large that even without wanting to look, the message content was clearly visible.

[Youngest Granddaughter – Grandfather, since you’re there anyway, please take some photos of Yehyeon oppa with your phone]

Isn’t she crazy? Sending her grandfather to standing area to be a photographer for her bias?

Miss Kim was shocked at this repeatedly updated unfilial behavior. Grandfather frowned and muttered to himself,

“Who’s Yehyeon?”

“The member who’s about to perform on stage with Eden.”

“Ah, was the kid who did New Year’s greetings over video call named Yehyeon?”

Miss Kim thought she might have misheard and just let that comment slide.

As a dark beat played, Yoon Eden in a black shirt with a loosely tied red necktie and Seo Yehyeon in a white shirt with a black necktie appeared on stage.

In contrast to Yoon Eden’s light makeup, Seo Yehyeon had heavy smoky makeup on his eyelids.

This was the first live performance of the solo song since it was revealed at the DTB Season 3 concert.

Though it was a bit disappointing that ‘Villain’ couldn’t be heard as a complete solo song and became a unit format, this combination wasn’t bad either.

Yehyeon’s parts were also appropriately mixed with some verse sections and choruses, so even though there was quite a skill difference, it wasn’t jarring.

Contrary to expectations of lots of cute heart choreography, the first verse hook’s choreography was a sexy version.

With Seo Yehyeon grabbing Yoon Eden’s necktie and pulling him closer, and Yoon Eden loosening Yehyeon’s necktie to cover Yehyeon’s eyes, the audience was in a state where heart choreography didn’t matter anymore.

Yoon Eden, who had completely loosened his necktie and thrown it to the audience, played with the rhythm of his part and strode toward A Section.

‘Wow, he’s coming again?’

Miss Kim congratulated herself internally for getting such a good seat.

Yoon Eden cheekily took the phone that Grandfather was holding to photograph Yehyeon, took a selfie, and handed it back, then shifted his gaze to Miss Kim’s phone next to him.

When she immediately relaxed her grip to make it easy to take, Yoon Eden flashed his characteristically refreshing smile, took a selfie with Miss Kim’s phone, and returned it.

‘Crazy, this is crazy!’

Miss Kim covered her mouth while looking at the perfect selfie. Today was definitely her lucky day.

Somehow knowing she was disappointed about no heart choreography in the first verse, the two who had shown plenty of sexy villain moments in the first verse displayed the villain’s original choreography in the second verse hook.

As soon as the second verse hook began, Yoon Eden and Seo Yehyeon stood side by side, put their hands together to make a hand heart, and cheerfully threw it toward the audience. As the combination running for the top two in popularity within Rev, the reaction was tremendous.

“Did, did they become entertainers without even going to university just to do that…?”

Grandfather’s muttering was drowned out by the enthusiastic cheers, but Miss Kim’s ears caught the sound of his breathing becoming labored due to rising blood pressure.

Seeing Grandfather’s complexion, which clearly looked like he was reaching his limit, Miss Kim immediately called the security in front.

“Coming through!”

Like Moses parting the sea, the A Section fans split apart neatly to create a path for Grandfather to pass through.

While watching Grandfather’s back as he left with security’s support, Miss Kim sighed in relief while clicking her tongue at the unknown grandchild who had sent an elderly grandfather with poor health to the standing area.

“Is someone talking about me?”

Yoon Jeonga, who had been screaming like a pterodactyl from the VIP seats every time Seo Yehyeon appeared, picked at her ear and grumbled.

Whether it was coincidence or not, Yoon Eden on stage simultaneously tapped his in-ear monitor with his finger.

* * *

“Honey, Father went to the medical room? I’ll take Father home and come back. Call me when the concert ends.”

Hearing Yoon Eden’s father’s voice from beside her, Yoon Jeonga grasped the situation and shook her head.

“Geez, I warned him so many times that he absolutely wouldn’t be able to last until the end. I hope Grandfather is okay.”

“Now posts looking for you will go up in the Concert A Section reviews. Asking who’s the inconsiderate granddaughter that sent her grandfather to the standing area.”

“Ah, no way. Honestly, you can’t blame me for this. Grandfather is so stubborn that the only person in our house who can change his mind is Eden oppa. Yes, he was totally cool! A villain through and through!”

Yoon Jeonga, who had been grumbling at her friend’s giggling, immediately waved her light stick vigorously and answered loudly to Seo Yehyeon’s question as he held the microphone for the talk segment.

“Oh my, this is killing me.”

As soon as Yoon Eden’s grandfather came out of the concert hall after resting briefly in the medical room, he let out a groan.

“Even with all that mountain climbing, I can’t keep up with young people’s stamina. How do they endure standing there for hours?”

He had been clutching his chest that felt tight every time the crowd moved, and when his son asked how the concert was, he snapped irritably.

“Tell him to quit! What music! He was shamelessly making hearts with another man.”

“Most of the songs he sang tonight were composed by Eden.”

“I couldn’t even listen to the songs properly because people kept pushing in that standing thing or whatever it was called.”

Eden’s father chuckled at the gruff response and asked.

“So you’re not going to the VIP seats the day after tomorrow? If you’re not going, give them to me. Thanks to father’s stubbornness, I couldn’t even see my son’s first concert properly and had to leave in the middle.”

“Who said I’m not going?”

The grandfather retorted with a frown and strode ahead. The rose that Eden had given him was still clutched in his hand.

Eden’s father smiled quietly as he watched his dishonest father.

* * *

“Okay, he finally left!”

As soon as I came down below the stage and clenched my fist in celebration, Ryu Jaehee, who was getting his makeup touched up, narrowed his eyes and asked.

“Is it okay to be happy about this?”

“No, it’s just that every time I saw grandfather on stage, I felt this sense of obligation that I had to do some kind of fan service…”
