-Holy shit, 5 years ago I got accepted to that school’s history department and another place but went to the other place, but if I had gone to that school’s history department, I could have been classmates with Yehyeon for a whole year…

-You can really see in the video that Yehyeon was the most excited lol

-I was lucky to get a front seat and Yehyeon was beaming the whole time haha She came down to the fence and gave high-fives and even took selfies with our phones

-What the hell is that fog effect that appears in every fancam video?

-ㄱㄴㄲ It only doesn’t show up with pale blue

-Is it a built-in effect?

-Wasn’t it prepared by the university?

-During Clear Stream it was just gently floating on stage, but during Nightmare it turned dark and was kind of creepy…

-No, someone was joking that the editing was amazing, but now that it appears in every video, it’s getting a bit scary

-No matter how I think about it, it’s probably that – the resentment of those university students who lost the chance to have Yehyeon as a senior/classmate/junior has taken physical form

-But seriously what is it? It can’t be bugs

-I wondered why the fancam views were rising like that, turns out it was because of that effect???

-The kids posted on Twitter that it was powder from the artificial leather on Yehyeon’s department jacket sleeves deteriorating and falling off, case closed

-Did you see Yehyun’s former classmate’s post? ㅋㅋㅋㅋ They were shocked asking how she managed to keep that department jacket in such good condition all this time ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

“My department jacket… my department jacket that I’ve treasured and cherished all this time…”

Of course, aside from the fancam becoming an issue thanks to that department jacket, Seo Yehyeon couldn’t accept parting with his department jacket.

What’s so special about a department jacket from a school he attended for one year. This is all the harm of our academic elitist society.

“No, looking at its condition, it doesn’t seem like you cherished it that much, so why are you so obsessed with the department jacket?”

“That’s right, hyung. That department jacket became an issue as a natural effect. Think of it as the jacket going out in a blaze of glory and let it go without regrets.”

And that department jacket was resurrected through the stylist noona’s sleeve alterations. The Rest In Peace we wished for it became meaningless.

Starting with Seo Yehyeon’s alma mater, other university festival stages continued one after another.

The emerging invited performers frequently seen at university festivals these days were rappers.

While rappers who appeared on DTB as producers or in the Top 10 were mainstream, there were quite a few rappers who successfully made names for themselves with their own work, not just hip-hop survival shows.

In other words, it wasn’t particularly surprising that I encountered Yongcheol hyung like this in the university festival schedule.

Our Yongcheol hyung is now a rapper who always comes up when you ask anyone to name five rappers they know, unless they have hip-hop elitism or Hongdae pretentiousness, so he was optimized for event stages too.

“Hyung, you know what? You’re the fourth DTB alumni I’ve met in this university festival schedule.”

“Really? Who did you meet before me?”

“I met Skoen hyung-nim, Young Billy, and Seven Kick.”

BQ9 also appeared quite frequently in this year’s university festival lineups, no less than last year, but their schedule didn’t overlap with our group’s this time.

By the way, since Skoen and Young Billy were recently active with a duet song, I met both of them at one university.

Skoen welcomed me really warmly, but maybe because Skoen lost the championship to me, Young Billy was quite cold toward me. Even before regression, there were rumors that Skoen didn’t like Yupi much because Yupi prevented him from winning and made him settle for runner-up in DTB Season 4, but I guess those rumors were true.

“Hyung, these are our members. And guys, this is D.I. Yongcheol hyung who was in the same crew as me.”

This was the first time, both before and after regression, that I introduced our members to Yongcheol hyung face-to-face like this. Seeing them bow and greet each other felt strange.

Oh, during the Season 3 finals, I had brought the youngest line to the DTB filming location for support and reality show filming, so Yongcheol hyung and the youngest line were already acquainted.

Yongcheol hyung naturally received the extremely warm greetings from our youngest line, who weren’t shy at all, then pointed at Kim Dobin and casually asked me.

“Is that kid the youngest?”

“No, he’s the fourth. The tallest one is the youngest.”

I think I corrected Yongcheol hyung’s same misunderstanding last time too.

Yongcheol hyung glanced at Seo Yehyeon and whispered to me in a lowered voice.

“Damn, you really are outclassed. Seeing him this close in person, I understand why you called me in shock before debut saying there’s a crazy handsome guy and now you’d really have to compete with talent alone.”

“You don’t need to tell me that. And when you say things like that, lower your voice more, hyung.”

A dark history from my past that I don’t even remember had to come out of Yongcheol hyung’s mouth right now when Seo Yehyeon is in front of us.

Seeing Seo Yehyeon’s lips twitching, that bastard definitely heard it.

Worried that Yongcheol hyung might spill more dark history, I quickly dragged him away and changed the subject.

“But hyung, what are you performing today?”

“【WAVE】, 【One of the】, and 【Graffiti】 without your featuring as the encore.”

“Huh, there’s a version without my featuring?”

“I perform alone at events so much that I made a version without the featuring.”

“Perfect, today you don’t have to cut out the featuring part.”

At my words, Yongcheol hyung blinked with a puzzled expression.

“Why?”

“I’m here.”

“You have to do your own stage.”

“We’re not performing at the same time. I’m last so it’s fine. When else would I get to be on stage like this with hyung if not now.”

Since we have different agencies and different booking rates, this chance of accidentally overlapping schedules was very likely to be the first and last.

“If hyung doesn’t want to, never mind.”

When I waved my hands dismissively, Yongcheol hyung made a groaning sound and replied.

“Of course I’d like it since I get breathing time too. But the question is whether you can act independently from your group like this.”

I took off the bomber jacket stage outfit I was wearing over my short-sleeved shirt and snatched the horn-rimmed glasses Yongcheol hyung was wearing.

“Then I’ll say I’m ED, not Yoon Eden.”

As I put the horn-rimmed glasses on my nose bridge and smirked, Yongcheol hyung laughed with a helpless expression and gave my back a refreshing smack.

-As soon as Yoon’s sweet voice said “How do you do?” the screams that exploded out like crazy were insane ㄷㄷ

-What??? When he came to our school he sang the version without featuring, but why only at P University did he use this MSG-level ultimate move…?

-2:31 There it is, D.I.’s big brother smile

-I also watched Rev’s fancam from the same day, and even though he wore horn-rimmed glasses, this one has more swag

-It was fucking hilarious how he kept insisting he was ED until the end, then when it was his turn on stage he came out as Yoon Ideun ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-P University festival committee planned this or not

-In the individual selfies they posted, DI was wearing those glasses, but I guess they got ripped off during the performance ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Oh, it’s the same day as D.I.’s featuring fancam

-No powder effect visible today either

-Just watched the D.I featuring fancam and our Eden is truly a born idol, adding and subtracting ad-libs however he wants lol

└What are you talking about? ED did the D.I. featuring and Yoon Eden performed on stage here, didn’t he?

-Tsk, that’s strange… I’m sure there was no sexiness in his features in that D.I. P University graffiti fancam

-Being careful not to overlap costumes is really genius!

Since I couldn’t waste my precious vacation time on Cha Yeonho, I decided to meet with Cha Yeonho now while I could spare some time preparing for the tour.

Still, I was postponing song production to meet him, so Cha Yeonho should be grateful to me. Of course, I didn’t know who would benefit more from this meeting.

But over there, KJ’s life was at stake, and over here, my life was at stake, so my side was definitely more important.

The private meeting with Cha Yeonho took place at Cha Yeonho’s house. Since I was living in the dormitory, it was impossible to invite Cha Yeonho to our house.

Try talking about regression and whatnot at our dormitory with all the members there. It would turn into shy Kim Dobin, you know.

For a man living alone, Cha Yeonho’s house was quite tidy. It contrasted sharply with the scene of my Cheongdam-dong house from my thirty-two-year-old memory fragments, which was truly a complete mess.

Maybe it’s because none of our members are neat freaks, but seeing someone actually living like this in person was quite fascinating.

This is why people become sensitive and suspicious about everything. Originally, you should live with moderate messiness to develop a easygoing personality and build immunity.

But since I’m a human equipped with social skills, I neatly folded away my inner observations and uttered the most safe and polite comment.

“Wow, nice house.”

“If you’re envious, you should move out too.”

“I didn’t say I was envious, Senior. Our dormitory is much better, so I’m not particularly envious. And independence is still too early for someone with our years of experience.”

“If you want to do it, you can do it even in your 4th or 5th year.”

Altair was now at the point where they could all move out independently, and according to the phone conversation I unintentionally overheard from an Altair member in Hawaii, all Altair members except KJ found Cha Yeonho difficult, so Cha Yeonho’s independence wouldn’t be strange.

Cha Yeonho, who noticed the shopping bag in my hand, made a very surprised expression and reached toward the shopping bag.

“You do have the basic sense to bring a visiting gift when visiting someone’s house? I thought you’d come empty-handed and carefree?”

“Oh, this? This isn’t a visiting gift.”

As I smoothly avoided Cha Yeonho’s hand and shrugged my shoulders, Cha Yeonho’s expression crumpled.

“It’s not a gift, but I did prepare it for today’s visit.”

“Then what the hell is it? Did you bring some food for us to eat together?”

“Since when were we close enough to sit face to face and eat something together nicely? Would either of us get indigestion?”

Confusion settled on Cha Yeonho’s face as he stared at the shopping bag. When someone’s that curious, it’s human nature to reveal it right away.

I took out the lie detector from the shopping bag and placed it firmly on the table.
