Regression Manual for Idols Who Lost Their Original Intent Chapter 365
I waved my hand toward Kim Dobin’s cell phone camera while wearing the hood of my zip-up hoodie.
“We’re currently stranded at the airport due to heavy rain. We barely managed to send off only the Youngest Member yesterday since he has a schedule on Sunday.”
“When you put it like that, it sounds like we’re in a life-or-death crisis right now.”
“I’m really in crisis though. Because of DTB concert practice. Hyeongjin is going to grill me thoroughly. Ugh, I’m already getting a headache.”
Since the flight was delayed and I can’t make it to practice tomorrow either, messages were already piling up like crazy. Choi Hyeongjin was saying the exact same thing as Gyeon Hajun.
What? Practice over video call? Do they really want me to get labeled as a hip hop attention seeker at this airport?
After a long time, an episode worthy of the nickname “Isolation Idol” had emerged, but all we could do here was wait, wait, and wait some more.
“Will this even make decent content?”
Unless something like the legendary Narita Airport Korean story happens, an airport stay vlog would be worth watching, but this was so boring you wouldn’t even notice if it was played at 2x speed. Everyone would probably bail after watching for about 5 minutes.
“Should we create some content? For example, Juni’s hangover cure mukbang behind Yehyeon Hyung’s back.”
There happened to be a Burger King on the path we had passed by.
“Come on, surely even Yehyeon Hyung is human, so he wouldn’t complain about us eating, right? People need to eat to survive. Just because we’re trapped at Hawaii Airport doesn’t mean calories and nutrients get supplied automatically.”
“You tend to view Yehyeon Hyung too generously.”
Isn’t he the type to only allow Kim Dobin to eat stuff behind our backs? When I narrowed my eyes and stared intently at Kim Dobin, he subtly avoided my gaze. Acting like that only made him more suspicious.
“You can just ask him directly.”
Anyway, eating secretly is more thrilling when you declare war on the person directly.
“Hyung, what would you say if we ate Burger King?”
“Guys, do you really have to eat fast food?”
What Seo Yehyeon pointed to with his hand was none other than Starbucks.
But if we suggest eating blueberry cheesecake there instead of just settling for an iced Americano, he’ll look at us like we’re the worst traitors in the world again. It’s not like this is the first or second time.
Just then, a report message from Ryu Jaehee arrived saying he had safely returned to the dormitory.
[Ryu Jaehee- (selca_taken_at_dormitory.jpg)]
[Ryu Jaehee- I’m at the dormitory]
[Ryu Jaehee- Are the hyungs doing okay?]
[Something’s wrong]
[Yehyeon Hyung is trying to starve us to death]
[Seo Yehyeon- I never said I’d starve you to death]
[Seo Yehyeon- I just stopped you from eating hamburgers]
[Kim Dobin- Hamburgers are the perfect diet food with carbs, protein, and fat]
[Seo Yehyeon- Dobin, please stop talking nonsense]
[Seo Yehyeon- If you promise not to eat fries and cola, I’ll allow it]
[That’s a bit much]
[Kim Dobin- A hamburger without fries and cola?]
[Kim Dobin- That’s the collapse of food culture]
Kim Dobin and I were really on the same wavelength at times like this.
[Seo Yehyeon- See?]
[Seo Yehyeon- I knew you guys would do that, so I stopped you]
[Seo Yehyeon- You bastards with no professionalism whatsoever]
[Why are you being mean to dogs]
[Are you discriminating against dogs because hyung is a cat person now?]
[Seo Yehyeon- Why are you like this]
[Ryu Jaehee- But aren’t all the hyungs together right now?]
[Ryu Jaehee- Why are you having a conversation in the group chat?]
[Seo Yehyeon- I’m embarrassed in case someone might overhear this conversation]
[Kim Dobin- Hyung, are we embarrassing to you?????]
[Are we embarrassing to you, hyung?]
[Seo Yehyeon- Do you guys share a brain or something?]
[Ryu Jaehee- I’m glad we’re having this conversation here]
[Ryu Jaehee- Please only do this here and not offline from now on, hyungs]
[Ryu Jaehee- Please]
The number one contributor to stopping Seo Yehyeon from dragging us to Starbucks was none other than Gyeon Hajun.
“We don’t know how long we’ll be here, so let’s eat a hearty hamburger, hyung.”
“You didn’t drink yesterday.”
“Why do you think I only eat hamburgers for hangovers…?”
In a world of two-eyed people, it’s natural for the one-eyed to be treated as strange. An extreme dieter couldn’t be understood by ordinary people.
Seo Yehyeon, who was infinitely strong when dealing with me but infinitely weak against Gyeon Hajun, was eventually dragged by the three of us and forced into Burger King.
As soon as we entered the store, while Gyeon Hajun distracted Seo Yehyeon, we secretly ordered hamburger sets. We ordered zero-calorie drinks and stuffed the fries into our hooded zip-up pockets for now.
“Eating hamburgers secretly is hopeless, so let’s change the mission to eating fries without getting caught.”
“What about the cola?”
“Insist we ordered a combo.”
“What if Yehyeon hyung doesn’t believe us?”
“Tell him to deal with it.”

[Rev’s Hawaii vlog Episode 2- Stranded at Hawaii Airport due to 12-hour flight delay]
[Yoon Eden: Now that we’ve finished eating hamburgers, let’s proceed with the mission.]
-They’re so bored they’re doing all sorts of nonsense lol
-Wouldn’t it be more entertaining content if one of them disappeared and the others had to search the airport for them?
-The kids have no light in their eyes lololol Only Eden has that spark lolol
-Why does Eden look equally tired but only his eyes are sparkling, like someone’s pinching him with dead fish eyes whenever he’s in front of the camera
-Is there anyone there who could pinch Eden?
While Kim Dobin, who was filming with his phone, blocked him from Seo Yehyeon’s view, Yoon Eden smoothly pulled out a bag of fries from his hooded zip-up pocket.
[Yoon Eden: If I take it out of my pocket to eat, of course I’ll get caught. How far is it from this pocket to my mouth?]
[Kim Dobin: Then how are you planning to eat it?]
[Yoon Eden: There’s a way for everything.]
Yoon Eden temporarily handed the bag of fries to Kim Dobin to hide, then took off his hooded zip-up.
Yoon Eden placed the sleeves diagonally along the torso and tied them in front of his body, then rolled up the hem of the hooded zip-up and tucked it in neatly.
It transformed to look as if he was wearing a hip bag. The hood was swaying at a point not far from his chin.
[Yoon Eden: Doby, pass.]
Speaking in a lowered voice while gesturing, Kim Dobin immediately passed over the bag of fries. Without hesitation, Yoon Eden put it into the hood part of his hooded zip-up, then smoothly pulled out one fry from the bag and tossed it into his mouth.
[Yoon Eden: Is this enough to complete the mission?]
[Kim Dobin: Should be more than sufficient.]
[Seo Yehyeon: What kind of diabolical plan are you two scheming again?]
[Yoon Eden: Hyung always calls it diabolical when it’s related to eating.]
[Seo Yehyeon: You just confessed that it’s related to eating. You guys planned another secret eating content, didn’t you?]
[Yoon Eden: No way. Hyung made such a generous decision by allowing us a combo set, how could we possibly do that?]
[Seo Yehyeon: You guys have finally come to your senses.]
-Yeah, fries are cute enough lol
-Yehyeon, don’t be moved and try putting your hand in Eden’s hooded zip-up hood
-Yehyeon, that’s how little you know your younger members
[Seo Yehyeon: What exactly are you munching on?]
[Yoon Eden: What do I have to hold and eat? I’m innocent.]
Seo Yehyeon examined Yoon Eden’s pants pockets with eagle eyes, but the pockets were flat. Of course they were. He wasn’t carrying anything in them.
As soon as Seo Yehyeon’s gaze turned elsewhere, Yoon Eden quickly started eating the fries hidden in his hood. And whenever it seemed like Seo Yehyeon’s gaze was about to turn this way, he immediately lowered his hand and shamelessly pretended he wasn’t eating.
-No matter how I look at it, this is exactly like eating snacks during class in a game
-I finally found the source of this déjà vu, I was wondering where I’d seen this – it was the snack-eating game
-Who would have thought I’d see a real-life version of that game in our group’s vlog
[Seo Yehyeon: Wait, but Yoon Eden, why are you wearing your outer clothing like that?]
[Yoon Eden: Ah, fashion, fashion. Hyung doesn’t understand fashion.]
Since it actually looked quite hip and not awkward, the viewers watching the video didn’t particularly notice anything strange.
However…
[Seo Yehyeon: There’s a reason I’ve been wearing it like this after taking off my outer clothing even though it’s this chilly.]
Yoon Eden’s mistake was that the t-shirt he wore underneath was short-sleeved. Seo Yehyeon grabbed the hood and pulled out an almost-finished bag of fries from inside it.
[Seo Yehyeon: A combo, you said, a combo. Since when did having fries make it a combo!]
[Gyeon Hajun: Yehyeon Hyung, calm down first. We need to find our flight tickets for tomorrow.]
[Seo Yehyeon: The plane will take off tomorrow, right? Ugh, I really hope this stay ends today… I feel like all the airport content those two are trying to create for their vlog will make me explode.]
[Gyeon Hajun: Eden and Dobin probably didn’t want to do it either but had no choice. You don’t think they’d deliberately try to annoy you, do you?]
[Would they really?]
[Yoon Eden: Hey, this is actually pretty fun? Want to try it again with a different menu?]
[Kim Dobin: Nope, if we do more I’ll have a brain malfunction.]
-Please stop discriminating against non-Yoon Eden members
-Whoa what, Yehyun and Hajun are finally talking to each other????
-Congrats Yoon Eden finally escaping from being a family tree breaker
[Looking for an agent who can help us, let’s go!]
[Yoon Eden: Wow, they say direct flights are already all booked up.]
[Kim Dobin: Don’t they give us the same thing? We came on a direct flight, so if they cancelled it, shouldn’t they give us a direct flight too?]
[Kim Do-bin: Don’t they give us the same thing? We came on a direct flight, so if they canceled it, shouldn’t they give us the same direct flight?]
[Yoon Eden: They say three layovers? That’s the only thing available with four seats.]
[Yoon Iden: They said there are three layovers? That’s the only option available for four seats.]
[Gyeon Hajun: Eden, do they provide hotels near the airport?]
[Yoon Eden: No. They say bookings are full. And since the flight departure time is early morning, even if it were possible, sleeping at the airport might be more convenient? Even if the Youngest Member were here, there wouldn’t have been anything he could do about this.]
[Kyun Ha-jun: Eden, can they provide a hotel near the airport?]
[Seo Ye-hyun: I definitely learned one lesson. Let’s check the weather forecast for travel destinations carefully.]
-Is it okay for episodes 1 and 2 to have such different vibes lolololol
-Everyone says they’re planners but weather wasn’t included in those plans…
[Yoon Eden: It’s been 10 hours since we’ve been stuck at Hawaii Airport. There are still two hours left until flight time.]
-Is it okay for parts 1 and 2 to have such different vibes? lolololol
[Gyeon Hajun: This is a trip I’ll never forget.]
[Yoon Eden: I’ve been stuck at the Hawaii airport for 10 hours now. There are still two more hours left until my flight.]
[Yoon Eden: Look at this damn guy. You should have persuaded us to shorten the trip by one day, not try to save yourself alone?]
[Seo Yehyeon: Where in our dictionary is there any compromise with each other.]
[Kyun Ha-jun: This is a trip I’ll never forget for the rest of my life.]
-The kids are getting more and more disheveled lolololol
[Yoon Eden: What kind of bastard does this? You should be trying to convince me to cut the trip short by a day, not trying to save yourself alone?]
-This is the first time I’ve seen Dobin so well-behaved
-The kids are getting more and more grubby hahaha
-Eden unconsciously put on his hood and french fry powder fell off lololol
-I’ve never seen Dobin so well-behaved before
The boarding announcement echoed through the terminal, and the passengers sitting around Lev began gathering their carry-on luggage and standing up one by one. Lev also let out a sigh of relief as he rose from his seat.
[Gyeon Hajun: Our plane is taking off. I was worried what would happen if that got canceled too. Thank goodness, really.]
[Yoon Eden: Finally going home.]
[Kim Dobin: Farewell, Hawaii! If only the last memories had been good, this would have been a trip of a lifetime.]
[Seo Yehyeon: No one will recognize us on the plane even if we take off our masks, right? My skin feels so stuffy.]
After each leaving a comment for Kim Dobin’s camera, they entered the runway connected to the airplane one by one.
