A Regression Guide for Idols Who Lost Their Original Intent Episode 481

“Huh? Why? Does your team need my featuring for this DTB finals?”

Come to think of it, Jiwon hyung, who occasionally contacts me about beats, didn’t particularly bring up featuring for his team either.

I had worried about what to do if Jiwon hyung and Yongcheol hyung both proposed featuring to me at the same time, but that concern seemed pointless.

But then again, our Yongcheol hyung brought up the featuring topic first so I wouldn’t feel foolish.

However, Yongcheol hyung made me feel foolish again by briefly shaking his head.

“No. I just realized that’s what he meant.”

Yongcheol hyung chuckled and pointed at me as he continued speaking.

“Jiwon hyung gathered me and BQ and said let’s not use cheat codes against each other. At first I didn’t know what he was talking about, but there was exactly one cheat code that all three of us shared.”

No wonder BQ9, who had connections as last year’s team producer, didn’t particularly contact me about featuring either – I didn’t know there was this kind of behind-the-scenes story.

“Right, in a season where everyone’s going crazy asking to bring this guy, if you actually bring him as featuring, that’s an instant win cheat code.”

“I never planned to ask him anyway. Featuring should be a supporting flavor, not the main dish. What if the featuring overshadows everything? Our team members are already bland enough, so featuring him is out of the question.”

Yongcheol hyung shook his head firmly.

Ooh-

Mixed cheers and admiration poured from all directions toward Yongcheol hyung, who was shedding his rookie image and looking quite like a professional team producer.

“No matter how much of a cheat code it is, I don’t want to do it by burying our team member. That would disqualify me as a producer.”

While Yongcheol hyung was speaking with unnecessary gravitas, a text from Gongchul hyung came at perfectly timed moment.

[Gongchul Hyung- Eden, do you have some time in September?] 6:32 PM

[Gongchul Hyung- I’d like to ask you to do featuring for our team, would that be okay?] 6:33 PM

“Oh, hyung just called Gongchul hyung disqualified as a producer.”

“That side has kids who are good since they’re the team that produced last season’s winner, so it’s fine. Our team’s situation is different.”

“Hyung, I watch DTB too, you know.”

As I giggled while showing him the text, Yongcheol hyung attempted to change his stance without batting an eye. In the past, his facial expressions were so obvious that it was fun to tease him, but after getting broadcasting experience, this hyung has become quite shameless too.

Honestly, it would be better for me not to appear this season if possible. Season 5 kept being mentioned in a way that put it down, and I even gave a shoutout related to that, so what would I hear if I went on?

If it’s not even Yongcheol hyung but Gongchul asking, why bother?

[I do have tour preparations, but let me check if it’s possible first]

After sending an ambiguous reply that was neither acceptance nor rejection, I poked Yongcheol hyung sitting next to me.

Rather than directly refusing, there’s a very good way to avoid making things uncomfortable for each other while making Gongchul’s side withdraw their request first.

“Hyung, send a text to Jiwon hyung exactly as I say. ‘I’m with Eden right now and Gongchul hyung is extending his cheat code tentacles.'”

It seems BQ9 forgot to relay Jiwon hyung’s fair play request to Gongchul.

Less than 30 minutes after Yongcheol hyung sent the text to Jiwon hyung, another text came from Gongchul.

[Gongchul Hyung- No no, I was just asking, don’t worry about it] 6:50 PM

The plan was a success.

I think I’m using my brain pretty well these days?

Rev vacation sightings were posted from various places: Yangsan bookstore, Incheon bowling alley and downtown area, Suwon cafe and restaurants, Seoul bars and exhibitions.

Although the members didn’t forget to post selfies and fan cafe From posts even during vacation, what Daydream was really curious about were episodes of Rev becoming guesthouse owners.

The only photos uploaded were group photos taken with Navy, and the only story about seeing Rev as temporary guesthouse owners was secondhand gossip that one Dreamgirl who proved her fan credentials heard from her mom and younger sibling.

While milking Rev members’ temporary guesthouse owner experience with just two photos and the fan-credentialed Dreamgirl’s secondhand gossip until there was nothing left to extract, Navy’s valley guesthouse episode self-content was uploaded like rain in a drought.

No spamming Rev fangirling in comments X

No comparisons X

No negative comments after watching just one cut X

As mentioned in the previous quote, please always remember this is Navy’s self-content and let’s keep our suffering about our kids among ourselves

Of course, since it was Navy’s self-content, Rev’s screen time naturally didn’t take up an obviously large portion.

[Rev seniors diligently preparing meals for Navy and having their belated meal]

[Kang Seok: They’re eating jjajangmyeon… looks delicious…]

[Hanse: Hey, you shouldn’t say that after eating the delicious food the seniors made for us!]

[Navy members licking their lips while watching from the valley]

[Meanwhile, Rev seniors…]

[Yehyeon: This is the worst. Chinese food two days in a row. If only it weren’t for this damn dishwashing!]

[Doby: Jjajangmyeon really doesn’t get boring even when you eat it two days in a row.]

[Yehyeon: Doby, is that what you should be saying right now?]

[~Suddenly started tornado omelet lesson~]

[Eden: Making tornado omelet isn’t particularly difficult. First you pour the egg mixture, then hold both sides well with chopsticks like this, pull it over and spin it like this and this, ta-da, complete. Easy, right?]

[Namwoo: Senior, it seems like a lot of explanation was skipped in the middle.]

[Eden: I told you to do it like this and this, didn’t I?]

[Instructor and students who don’t understand each other]

But going back and forth, their faces appeared frequently, and the occasional scenes played their supporting role perfectly.

-Rev really appears here and there but they’re always just working so it’s pitiful lololol

-No but our kids are so much like ‘seniors’…

-Everything caught on camera is either hanging laundry or cleaning or cooking

-Navy member lying down resting on the wooden platform while someone’s mopping the platform next to them, why is that so funny lolol

-A leaky gourd leaks outside too, our Eden is doing the exact same tornado omelet lesson he did on live broadcast

-Yoon Eden definitely isn’t slacking off and is working diligently, but compared to Hajun working next to him, the skill difference is fucking hilarious

-Washing dishes for 29 people is crazy, I totally understand why Yehyeon allowed Chinese delivery two days in a row

-Rev guesthouse owners I imagined: Leisurely welcoming guests and small talking

Reality: Frantically busy with cleaning, laundry, cooking, serving, dishwashing, odd jobs

Reviews of the pension restaurant they cleverly found were also captured and circulated.

5 ★★★★★

It was disappointing that the menu lacked unity and seemed all over the place, making it look slightly less professional, but overall the food taste was quite decent. I’m not sure why a restaurant specializing in mountain chicken dishes suddenly transformed into this young, trendy Inbyeol-style restaurant. It seems like the restaurant misjudged their target demographic;; Still, there were plenty of foods that kids would enjoy, so it was good for dining with children. Looking again, it seems to have changed back to a mountain chicken specialty restaurant. Even so, the food came out quickly and all the serving staff were kind, so I think it’s a restaurant worth visiting at least once.

5 ★★★★★

(Chicken Stir-fry Soup_Photo.jpg) (Chicken Soup_Photo.jpg)

The food tasted great and the service was excellent too. I’ll have to go back to try the chicken soup and chicken stir-fry soup again next time. It tasted even better because the actor from the drama I enjoyed watching made it personally~

When that review became an issue with titles like “Restaurant Menu Changes That Leave You Unable to Even Guess What Happened” and “Honest Review of Pension Restaurant Where Idol Served as Temporary Manager,” Gyeon Hajun posted on his Inbyeol story with a screenshot of the review and the message “Thank you for the 5-star rating☺”.

-For a moment I thought I was following some store account,,, it was Hajun lolololol

-Seems like he really experienced running a business for real lololol

-Wait, now that I look at it, the review below is about chicken soup again? They say it’s a mountain chicken specialty restaurant, did the Rev members catch the chicken themselves???

-They said they couldn’t even film among themselves during the live broadcast because of the guests’ portrait rights, which is such a shame ㅜㅜㅜ Still trying to console myself that at least it appeared in Navy’s self-content ㅜㅜ

-I’m getting more curious about Hajun’s Hand Feel that captivated even picky middle-aged women…

I didn’t want to believe that there were only two days left of vacation. I had gone out to gatherings so much that I barely slept at the dormitory for five straight days, so time flew by like an arrow.

Since we couldn’t throw away the salad, Ryu Jaehee and I forced ourselves to eat it for breakfast together, but there was still too much left, so we ended up taking two-thirds of it to my family home.

After stopping by my family home with Ryu Jaehee and playing with Podo for a while, another half day passed in a flash.

“Podo, what’s it like to play at home every day?”

When I grabbed Podo’s front paws as he sprawled on the floor, shook them, and asked in a serious voice, Podo bared his front teeth and growled.

Does that mean don’t talk nonsense? Yeah, you must have your own troubles too.

“Hyung, do you have any plans tomorrow by any chance?”

Ryu Jaehee, who was shaking treats nearby, suddenly asked. When I checked my phone calendar, there were no scheduled appointments.

“No.”

“Then would you like to go see a musical with me tomorrow?”

Ryu Jaehee asked with sparkling eyes while petting Podo, who had gotten up and grabbed the treat.

“A friend I used to train with at TK changed career paths to become a musical actor. So he sent me three performance tickets saying it’s his first stage. Doby Hyung said he’s coming tomorrow too, so I thought it would be perfect if the three of us watched it together.”

I nodded after looking at the musical title Ryu Jaehee showed me in the search window.

Faust… I roughly knew the content, so it probably wouldn’t be boring.

“Sure. I didn’t have anything particular to do tomorrow anyway, so that works out well.”

This was probably the one where he made a bet with the devil, but only the devil ended up like a dog chasing chickens and taking a huge loss, right?
