A Regression Guide for Idols Who Lost Their Original Intent Episode 390

The members’ gazes momentarily focused on me during my rap part, which I was forced to perform in Gyeon Hajun ver., then quickly scattered. The only one who didn’t waver was Ryu Jaehee, who had practiced matching with me from early morning throughout the entire morning.

It was understandable they’d react this way since it was so different compared to usual.

I continued the rap naturally and barely managed to finish my part without mistakes.

Gyeon Hajun also had long breath capacity so I wasn’t out of breath, but the problem was reality not being able to keep up with the speed in my head. I don’t know how many times I overcame crises where I almost stumbled.

It was fortunate that my part in 【Clear Stream Song】 was short. If it had been any longer, I would have bitten my tongue once.

In a way, my past self who had reduced my part to make the members stand out more than me had helped my current self.

Well done, myself!

As soon as I came down from the stage after somehow safely finishing the rehearsal, Kim Dobin poured out questions. This much was within my expected range.

“Hyung, your part seemed a bit different, right? Right? It changed, didn’t it? I didn’t mishear, did I?”

“Not just a bit, it changed a lot? The lyrics were completely different.”

Seo Yehyeon, who raised his eyebrows, added to that.

“Oh, hyung-nim. How perceptive of you to notice?”

When I clapped and let out an exclamation of admiration, Seo Yehyeon grumbled, asking if his ears were decorations and telling me not to be sarcastic.

“Sarcastic? I’m currently overflowing with infinite respect for hyung-nim.”

How could he be so calm while performing on stage with skills that were slightly superior to this?

If it were me, I would have felt so nauseous from excessive tension and stress every time I went on stage that I’d want to run off the stage immediately.

I had noticed since he stopped eating snacks, late-night meals, and putting dressing on salads, but he wasn’t an ordinary tough person. This was something I had to acknowledge.

“I told you not to call me hyung-nim! When did you follow the silent rule and call me nim-nim, and why are you insisting on the hyung-nim thing now!”

“Wasn’t it hyung-nim who said you wouldn’t regret it? Geez, it looks bad when a man says two different things with one mouth.”

As I lightly brushed off Seo Yehyeon’s fussing and picked my ear with my pinky, Gyeon Hajun handed me a water bottle and asked worriedly.

“Is your throat condition so bad that you had to completely change the lyrics?”

My throat condition is fine, but my rap condition isn’t good.

If I had also gotten Gyeon Hajun’s vocal tone, I would have been holed up in the studio after today’s schedule until the penalty time limit, frantically producing songs and getting my money’s worth, but since I unfortunately only got his rap skills, I was even afraid to go to the studio in case I made a mistake while rapping.

The fact that there was one more main stage remaining was my biggest stress right now.

And Gyeon Hajun, who was worrying about me now, was the cause of my stress. Because Gyeon Hajun’s rap skills were inflicting this pain on me.

Of course, the root culprit was the system that gave me this damn penalty.

“It wasn’t jarring, was it?”

When I asked the most important question, Gyeon Hajun nodded without a moment’s hesitation.

“Oh, not at all. Maybe because Jaehee’s doubling was included, you couldn’t tell at all that your throat condition was bad. It just felt like you slowed down the tempo compared to usual?”

Hearing those words and thinking about it, of course it was natural, but I seemed much more amazing than Seo Yehyeon. Me, who had brilliantly handled this part without any jarring or ridiculous parts even with skills that were a downgraded version of Seo Yehyeon.

Fortunately, although my rap skills had regressed to Gyeon Hajun’s level, my problem-solving ability remained the same, so I immediately changed my part’s rap style to a level that Gyeon Hajun’s rap skills could handle and rewrote the lyrics accordingly.

Enough to blend naturally with the beat.

I don’t know who made the beat, but the beat saved me, the beat. If it hadn’t been for this level of beat, my skills would have been completely exposed.

It was fortunate that I had enough time to come up with a solution.

If this damn penalty had happened 1 minute before going on stage, I probably would have given up everything and done a quick regression. I can’t stand being looked down upon for my rap anywhere.

Well, Ryu Jaehee’s doubling also played a part in the rap part’s CPR.

When I grinned and extended my hand to Ryu Jaehee, he hesitated for a moment then didn’t extend his hand all the way and shook his head.

“We only just finished the rehearsal. We need to do well until the main stage too.”

This guy, so prickly.

While waiting and watching the award ceremony, our turn for the main stage quickly approached.

Once again suppressing the urge to run off stage, I started my rap part as practiced, wearing Gyeon Hajun’s skills like a mask.

Since Ryu Jaehee’s doubling provided solid support, I felt relieved and continued calmly just like during rehearsal.

Previously, I couldn’t understand why others found it difficult to follow even when I held back to match the song, but now I was feeling it painfully. My part was quite difficult.

Today’s penalty made me understand Seo Yehyeon a little. Right, he must have struggled rapping with skills that were only slightly better than this.

From now on, I should pay more attention to Seo Yehyeon’s parts while thinking of today. The standards were too tailored to me, which is why Seo Yehyeon went crazy every recording session.

In a way, this penalty was one that only benefited Seo Yehyeon.

Swoosh, I opened the fan to cover my mouth just as the MR flowing through my in-ear monitor finished. Having successfully completed the main stage, I let out a short sigh of relief as I came down from the stage.

Returning to backstage, I tapped Ryu Jaehee, who was frantically fanning his sweat-soaked face with the fan, and asked.

“Do you feel like stepping up now?”

I chuckled as I high-fived the hand Ryu Jaehee quietly extended first. He seemed quite pleased with his own rap doubling.

“But hyung, you usually take such good care of your health, so how did you mess up your condition management this time?”

Ryu Jaehee asked a rather sharp question. Fortunately, everyone thought I was sick rather than that my rap skills had deteriorated.

“I know why.”

Seo Yehyeon suddenly stepped forward.

Actually, I wasn’t sick except for my bruised ego, but I was curious what nonsense Seo Yehyeon would spout, so I stayed quiet without objecting.

Since we’re roommates, would he say something about coming back late from the studio or sleeping without a blanket?

“It’s because Yoon Eden keeps calling me hyung-nim.”

…Hm?

Is he saying I ended up like this because I deliberately called Seo Yehyeon hyung-nim during the award speech? But Seo Yehyeon doesn’t know about the system and penalties…

“He’s stressed about calling me hyung-nim too, but he keeps forcing himself to say it to mess with me, so his condition deteriorated from excessive stress.”

It was complete nonsense I never expected.

“Are you so displeased with me calling you hyung-nim that you cursed me? I’m not stressed about it at all.”

“Right, hyung. There’s no way Eden would be stressed about something like that. He’s even enjoying it now.”

No matter how good Seo Yehyeon was at reading people, Gyeon Hajun’s interpretation was more accurate this time.

“We just came from performing on stage, right? Not from wreaking havoc on a rival organization?”

Kim Dobin scratched his head.

Anyway, since the performance was over and I had no desire to watch the award ceremony, I left work immediately.

The moving date was just two days away.

On the way to the van, I casually draped my arm over Gyeon Hajun’s shoulder and asked.

“Jun, have you ever thought about learning rap?”

Gyeon Hajun paused for a moment, then chuckled and waved his hand dismissively.

“Forget it. How often would I even rap?”

I stared intently at Gyeon Hajun’s profile, which was hard to read. Does this guy objectively know his rap skills surprisingly well?

Well, if you have a rapper like me as a friend, you can’t help but try rapping at least once. Maybe he tried it himself, got shocked, and has been hiding his rap skills ever since.

“At least learn how to ride the flow.”

“Why, if your vocal condition is like today’s, will you have me handle the rap parts for guide recordings too?”

Gyeon Hajun asked playfully, but I had to be serious. That’s a bit… I’d rather call the youngest member.

Even if I trained him seriously, it would probably take a full year. Hmm…

I just have to hope the System doesn’t throw another damn Quest like this at me. I should think of it as having learned how to handle situations where I have to perform live when my throat is in bad condition.

After returning to the dormitory, I was busy organizing the dressing room that I had touched on the first day and left neglected until now. It got postponed to tomorrow again, but tomorrow they’ll probably say let’s organize our personal belongings after moving first.

When today’s dormitory organizing was somewhat finished, I laid my tired body on the bed after going to the studio and opened the penalty countdown timer.

[Time remaining – 00:00:01]

As the timer changed to 00:00:00, I quietly recited the hook of 【Killing Beat】.

It’s back! It’s back!

Like that, I was able to sleep peacefully only after performing three songs in a row in the middle of the night with Seo Yehyeon, who never wakes up once he falls asleep, as my audience.

-Oh what? Eden’s part lyrics completely changed?

-You’re not freestyling because you forgot the lyrics, right? ㅋㅋㅋ But it’s interesting because your rap style/technique seems a bit different from usual

-Is it because the rap is slower? The song feels less hip-hop now, kinda hits my taste haha

-This way it kind of gives off Yehyeon vibes but now with like 100000 times more skill added

Even when he slows down the rap tempo that much, his vocal tone still carries it so well – it’s absolutely crushing lololol

When was that last stage? It doesn’t seem like Yoon Eden’s style at all so it’s damn fresh

└(Creator)jamkim

It’s the TBM Entertainment Awards congratulatory stage Yesterday while watching that stage I was like wow thanks to his voice tone he can pull off that style too and immediately made this video

└dsaopgaskl99

That’s not just the voice tone but the doubling also played a part, right? That group’s Sub Rapper seems pretty good too?

└NewAt

@dsaopgaskl99 The one doing the doubling isn’t the Sub Rapper but the Main Vocalist

└dsaopgaskl99

@NewAt ? Then what does the Sub Rapper do?

└NewAt

@dsaopgaskl99 This one is the visual

“Youngest Member, you look like you’re in a good mood since morning?”

After finishing morning exercise with Seo Yehyeon in a refreshing mood and returning home, I saw Ryu Jaehee sitting at the dining table with a smile on his face for the first time in a while, so I spoke to him as naturally as possible.

“My youngest brother contacted me, asking when the moving date is and if he could come help. It makes me think the allowance I gave him was worth it.”

Ryu Jaehee, speaking to us with a proud expression as if bragging, looked quite like an eldest brother.

“You didn’t accept, did you? We’re moving during school hours when he should be attending classes.”

“Of course I declined. It’ll be chaotically busy then and we wouldn’t be able to take care of him anyway. But how did Jaeseon come up with such a thoughtful idea?”

Don’t tell me he found out the moving D-Day to sell things on Joonggonara beforehand?

What’s the probability that the second brother, who doesn’t arouse Ryu Jaehee’s suspicion, was threatened or coerced by the first brother to find out the moving date? That youngest brother in their family looked quite weak-willed when I saw him before.

While showering, wondering if there was anything helpful, I did my daily quest and opened all the newly accumulated Random Tickets, finally finding one useful item.

[Item ‘Relationship Improvement Value Change Record⚿’ has appeared!]

Hey, if you had something like this, you should have given it to me earlier.

I had a reasonable suspicion that Random Tickets somehow only selected helpful things, but I withdrew that suspicion as soon as I remembered yesterday’s damn penalty random.

If it selected things helpful to me, it would have chosen Kim Dobin’s Singing Ability.

[Would you like to use item ‘Relationship Improvement Value Change Record⚿’?]

[Yes/No]

Grumbling toward the System, I selected without hesitation the name positioned last among the Four Members.

[▶Ryu Jaehee]
