A Regression Guide for Idols Who Lost Their Initial Intentions Episode 514

“Oh, hey, it’s been a while, Hyeonmin.”

As much as I’ve shaken off all those regretful childish emotions, I’d like to treat him nicely and even give him a warning about the parachute situation, but I also have my own fate at stake here.

Let’s catch up after I safely return to the recent timeline.

I had a lot of resentment toward the parachute who delivered the decisive blow that destroyed the relationship between me and Gyeon Hajun before regression, and who tried to give us a big screw-over even after regression, but I held back, worried it might disrupt the major flow.

I remember roughly what words I used to open the conversation back then.

“Did you guys make a comeback recently?”

“The teaser and music came out ages ago! You have no interest in us? I’m disappointed, hyung!”

Choi Hyeonmin clung to me quite naturally. Does he look less disgusting than before because it’s a matter of my state of mind?

Well, back then I faced him without having resolved the grudges built up from the pre-regression past, so his shameless clinging was bound to look disgusting.

I deliberately gave Choi Hyeonmin an affectionate smile and replied.

“Hey, what do you mean I have no interest in you guys. I know very well that you talk behind my back and our group’s back too.”

I could clearly see Choi Hyeonmin blinking and trying his best to hide his panic. Choi Hyeonmin, putting on the most innocent face he could manage, asked back.

“We do?”

“Acting all loyal and then running away, only to debut with that kind of song and flop – serves them right.”

When I kindly recited the gossip content I still remembered, I saw the KICKS guys flinch in sequence, and then the parachute’s eyes showing interest.

“-is what you said, wasn’t it?”

Seeing the stiff faces of the KICKS members and the parachute’s expression as if gauging something, I felt relieved. At this rate, it should flow exactly the same as the major current I created before.

KICKS will start suspecting each other based on my probing words, and Jung Iseo, who planned this, will approach me asking who the whistleblower is.

Having to let something happen that I could easily prevent left a bitter taste in my mouth.

“Eden hyung, who did you hear that from?”

“Don’t get all guilty and curious about who snitched, just tone down the gossip about hyung and hyung’s group, man.”

Thunk, when I placed my hand on Choi Hyeonmin’s head, his flinch was transmitted very clearly through my palm.

“Yunseong, you need to manage your members better.”

At my sincere advice, Kwon Yunseong glared at me with fierce eyes.

Right, the Kwon Yunseong of this time hasn’t had that grabbing-by-the-collar and sincere conversation yet – he’s the Kwon Yunseong full of pretense and resentment toward me.

Since the deflated Kwon Yunseong occupied my recent memories, the current Kwon Yunseong felt quite refreshing.

As soon as KICKS left our temporary partitioned waiting room, glancing at each other with distrustful eyes, Kim Dobin rushed over like a shot and asked.

“But hyung, how did you know KICKS was talking behind our backs?”

“This hyung has routes to receive all kinds of information. Anyway, wasn’t the taste of putting yourself in others’ shoes enough? Seems like you’re still chanting that damn regression mantra?”

When I glared and barked once at Kim Dobin’s question filled with suspicion, Kim Dobin’s budding suspicion died down again.

So barking was the answer to eliminating suspicion. Like the bluebird in our hearts, the answer was close by.

Instead of wasting time worrying about explanations, I should have just barked once more.

As I lay unable to sleep again today, the system displayed an interim report as if telling me to be relieved.

[Return route shows no abnormalities so far]

[Remaining time – Recent timeline: 5h

This timeline: 1d]

Great, just endure one more day and I can go home!

The precise date the system provided played a big role in greatly reducing my anxiety. From today on, I felt like I could sleep soundly without staying up all night with insomnia.

‘So does that mean you’ve also resolved that damn residual risk system?’

The fact that that annoying system remained with me really bothered me. As long as that exists, I’ll continue to be interfered with and manipulated by Cha Yeonho like this.

Even if it’s not something Cha Yeonho intended, as long as I was the former host of that risk system.

[External firewall construction complete, but residual risk system still under search…⛭]

You’re going back without even eliminating the residual risk system yet? Are you saying you can eliminate it in one day?

I don’t know, our system will handle it. Surely it wouldn’t intentionally hand my body over to the risk system.

* * *

Meanwhile.

In Yoon Eden’s studio, chaos broke out because Yoon Eden wouldn’t wake up no matter how much they tried.

“119! 119!”

Inheriting Yoon Eden’s healthy mentality of calling 119 whenever anything happened, Kim Dobin also started calling for 119 first.

“Wait, 119 is too early.”

“What do you mean too early! What if we miss the golden time by not calling now!”

“Look, look, he’s breathing steadily and well.”

Ryu Jaehee pointed with his hand at Yoon Eden, who was lying face down, breathing peacefully.

Except for not waking up when shaken, Yoon Eden looked peaceful as if he were sleeping. Ironically, this appearance also played a part in downplaying the urgency of the situation.

Yoon Eden didn’t wake up even when the youngest line joined forces and struggled to move him to the sofa.

“Mm, let’s wait exactly five more hours and then take him to the hospital.”

“Golden time.”

“Right, four hours.”

If Yoon Eden had been watching himself, he would have made a huge fuss about letting the golden time slip away like this.

And he would have felt proud watching Kim Dobin properly following his teachings about valuing golden time, then held his forehead saying he’d end up opening his eyes in a hospital bed with one hour left until waking up.

“Just in case, let’s call the hyungs too.”

When Seo Yehyeon and Gyeon Hajun arrived following Ryu Jaehee’s call, all five Rev members gathered in Yoon Eden’s studio for the first time in a while.

Of course, one person’s consciousness wasn’t here, but since he was with other members in the past, it counted as all five being together.

“Eden won’t wake up? Shouldn’t we move him to the hospital right away?”

Just as Gyeon Hajun looked at the youngest line with eyes asking why they called them instead of immediately moving him to the hospital, Yoon Eden muttered something like sleep talk with incredibly perfect timing.

“Five hours…”

The system did its best.

“What, he’s talking in his sleep. Seems like he’s just sleeping?”

Seo Yehyeon said, letting out a relieved breath. Even though he said that, subtle relief was evident in his voice.

“Eden must have been really tired from overworking lately.”

Gyeon Hajun also sat down heavily on the sofa with a much more relieved face, avoiding Yoon Eden’s head.

“Huh? But Eden hyung has been strictly keeping his sleep schedule lately? Something about sleep deprivation shortening lifespan or whatever.”

The youngest line also felt relieved at their leader’s revival and praised their own foresight in not immediately calling 119.

“Ah, I should have asked for sure when the hyungs were at the dorm. I was too flustered to think of asking.”

As the untimely leader coma commotion settled down, Ryu Jaehee clicked his tongue at the memory confusion issue that came to mind belatedly.

“Hyungs, do you remember what we were like when deciding on 【One Chance】 follow-up activities?”

Kim Dobin threw out a confirmation question. The first to readily answer was Seo Yehyeon, who had the most built up from that time.

“How could I forget that. It was a real war back then. Yoon Eden was being all dictatorial, and frankly speaking, he extorted 600,000 won from me. But did Yoon Eden ever give me that 600,000 won?”

Seo Yehyeon, who had been carefully retracing his memories, hesitated.

“Huh? Wait…”

Looking around at the members with a pale face, Seo Yehyeon recited in a trembling voice the content of the strange memory that had just confused his mind.

“What is this memory? When did we ever resolve things so peacefully?”

“Hyung, you have it too? That weird memory?”

Kim Dobin and Ryu Jaehee looked at each other.

Seo Yehyeon also has the ‘strange memory’. This confirmed it wasn’t just the youngest line’s problem.

“See! I told you this place is the problem! This studio is the problem! Should we go to some shaman’s house right now and get some talismans?”

In Ryu Jaehee’s mind, having already experienced supernatural phenomena in this place (even if it was actually Eden-style déjà vu writing), it had long been concluded that this studio was the problem.

“Don’t rely too much on shamanism. Everyone seems to be experiencing some kind of collective delusion phenomenon right now, but Eden was trying to communicate in his own way back then too.”

The point that Gyeon Hajun, who was always generous to Yoon Eden, mentioned was when Yoon Eden came in with soju after making an announcement in front of the CEO and everything went to hell, but the point the other members accepted was from the strange memory being manipulated.

“Hajun hyung’s memory has already been manipulated after being consumed by the evil energy of this place.”

“No, Hajun! You’re remembering it wrong! He didn’t even ask our opinions and just recklessly pushed through by himself… or did he? Why do I keep getting glimpses of Yoon Eden asking for opinions first?”

“Let’s get out of here first and then make a judgment.”

“What about Yoon Eden? Are we just leaving him here?”

“Of course we have to take him with us!”

“He’s heavy though… Can’t we just wake him up and tell him to walk on his own? Hey, Yoon Eden! Go to the dormitory and sleep five more hours!”

No matter how much Seo Yehyeon shook him, Yoon Eden kept his eyes firmly shut, so in the end three members had to work together to carry him to Kim Dobin’s car.

Gyeon Hajun, who had unintentionally caused confusion among the other members due to his non-Yoon Eden discrimination, quietly tilted his head at the two overlapping memories.

What is this? Was there a time when we did this?

* * *

Finally, D-day for going back.

“Eden, did something good happen to you?”

Seeing my cheerful expression from the morning, Gyeon Hajun asked. Since I couldn’t exactly say I was happy to be going back to the time period when I had a fistfight with you, I just shook my head briefly.

Since today wasn’t a day with any major incidents, there was no risk of the main flow going off track even if I relaxed without being so tense.

[⏳Loading…]

The system displayed a loading screen, proving that the system’s words about being able to go back today weren’t just empty threats.

I waited with a vigilant heart for the return to the recent time period when I received the Grand Prize, hoping that the Youngest Line wouldn’t come to the studio before I woke up, when the system finally finished loading and displayed a new status window.

[Disabling Risk System firewall.]
