A Regression Guide for Idols Who Lost Their Original Intent Episode 515

* * *

Cha Yeonho had finally reached the starting point of all these regressions and the last memory of the first round that he had completely recalled.

The truth that was eventually revealed to the public, whether the Rev members had succeeded in their persuasion.

Yoon Eden went from being the guy who drove his senior to suicide with false accusations without evidence to a righteous person who was sadly framed while trying to reveal the unjust death of a trainee, and Kwon Jeongjun went from being a star who sadly fell under false accusations to a bastard who drove someone to death and then shamelessly disappeared when he received some criticism.

As always, as easy as flipping a palm, everything returned to its rightful place.

And the criticism that had lost its way due to Kwon Jeongjun’s death was all poured onto Cha Yeonho, combined with Yoon Eden’s death and the guilt the public felt toward Yoon Eden.

-I must have finally gone crazy. I’m seeing things that aren’t there.

Seeing himself looking at the status window that appeared before his eyes from a third-person perspective a few steps away was quite unfamiliar.

Cha Yeonho, who had been looking at himself with a complex gaze as he looked up at the red status window with a distorted expression and a face that seemed to be crying and laughing at the same time, turned around and stood next to his past self who was sitting collapsed.

He who was scanning the letters written on the status window opened his mouth at the same time as his past self in the memory.

-Go back to the past… Let me prevent it. Whatever it is.

“Go back to the past and let me prevent it. Whatever it is.”

Cha Yeonho let out a hollow laugh at the voices that overlapped perfectly without a single syllable wrong. Right, that’s how it was. Back then, I thought that if I could just turn back time, I could make all this tragedy disappear.

-Want to make a bet on whether you’ll succeed or fail? Of course I’m betting on success.

He couldn’t hear about the price he would have to pay if he failed.

-Turning back time is only possible if there’s a host to provide energy…

-Choose one person to be your host? Are you hoping I’ll feel guilty and give up?

Even though he was considered dead at that time, Cha Yeonho rubbed his face with his palm while watching his past self choose Yoon Eden as the host without hesitation.

“Where is there a wish and choice without a price, you idiot.”

In the end, Yoon Eden escaped and I became the host myself in the end, didn’t I. I continued the bet even going that far, didn’t I.

“I don’t know anymore, Jeongjun.”

Cha Yeonho, who was now beginning to objectively see his foolish past self, let out a deep sigh and muttered.

“I don’t know who deserved to die and who should have rightfully received one more chance.”

Feeling doubt about a friend he could have willingly risked his life to save. No longer being able to look at that friend with the same affection as before. The end of friendship that he could feel gradually approaching.

That was the price Cha Yeonho had to pay. And that wasn’t even… the end, but just the beginning.

Coming back again.

[Disabling Risk Level System firewall.]

[⚠Firewall has been deactivated!]

[#&!ERROR¡&#]

[#&!ERROR¡&#]

[#&!ERROR¡&#]

Whether I was flustered or not by the sudden own goal from our home system, the system diligently kept popping up warning windows.

No, fuck. System, are you crazy? When you said going back, did you mean not the time period when I received the project but that time period when my vision was dyed red?

Are you a spy? Are you a spy for that Risk Level System? Huh?

It’s been exactly one day since I completely trusted that you wouldn’t intentionally hand over my body to the Risk Level System, one day! You bastard!

[⚠Activating Emergency Route 2.]

I don’t understand what the hell it means to disable the firewall yourself, then warn about firewall deactivation while activating an emergency route.

Watching the system play both the drum and janggu by itself was so absurd that I didn’t even feel betrayed.

Shit, this isn’t going to interfere with going back again, is it? Like having to endure another month at some point?

Just imagining it made me boil with anger as I roughly swept up my bangs, and at the same time my vision went dark.

Blink-

When I blinked, something slowly began to appear in my blurry vision.

It was a dark and unfamiliar room. As my vision adapted to the darkness, the scenery inside the room gradually came into view.

“What is this?”

It definitely wasn’t my Cheongdam-dong house. That room was well remembered thanks to the system showing it several times.

First of all, the room wasn’t at the disaster level where beer cans were rolling around and cigarette butts had formed a Christmas tree, and the room style was also a bit removed from my aesthetic sense.

Even searching through my memories, it was a room I had never seen before. Is this that… what Kim Dobin always talked about along with regression, possession or something like that?

Then shouldn’t I look for Kim Dobin first?

The only person who could acknowledge and understand this ridiculous situation was Kim Dobin, who lived without his brain.

While quickly looking around that neat achromatic room, I discovered a bundle of blankets on the bed. A bundle of blankets large enough to fit a person and then some.

[Situation Explanation

Deliberately contacted external malicious system to find remaining system. Found reaction attempt and escaped to Emergency Route 2 before malicious system could take control. Can return to recent time period immediately once remaining system processing is complete.]

[Searching for and processing remaining system focusing on signal location that responded to external attack when firewall was blocked…⛭]

So, you used me as bait to locate the remaining system? You should have told me before doing something like that.

I won’t apologize for suspecting you of being a spy. If you didn’t want to be called a spy, you should have given me a heads up.

“Then where is this place?”

[This is a memory possessed by the system.]

“Is it my memory? It’s not in my memory at all though? Is it a memory you erased?”

[Memory forms a person’s identity, a person’s world, so it cannot be erased recklessly.]

[Instead, we can pull tricks like having someone else bear the burden.]

[Emergency Route 2 where the project subject is currently located is the only point in time where the project subject does not exist.]

[It’s an emergency route that could be created thanks to someone who bore the project subject’s memories instead.]

[Whether to ignore or observe this memory is entirely the project subject’s choice.]

Just as I was about to say I wouldn’t watch because what’s the point of peeking at someone else’s memories.

“Haaa…”

Along with a loud phone vibration, a quite familiar sigh came from the bundle of blankets. So I wasn’t possessed in the memory owner’s body.

At the same time, I immediately realized who was inside that bundle of blankets and swallowed my words of refusal. Anyway… I’m curious.

The bundle of blankets wriggled and a hand suddenly popped out and snatched the phone. The blanket that had been covering up to the head slid down, revealing a familiar face.

“Yehyeon Hyung? What’s wrong?”

While watching Gyeon Hajun answer the phone with his head still on the pillow, in a sleepy voice that clearly showed he wasn’t fully awake, I scratched my head and looked around.

If this is a time point where I don’t exist, it would be after I died in the first round… so is this Gyeon Hajun’s independent house then?

The fact that this house doesn’t give me any sense of déjà vu and is completely unfamiliar really made me realize that I never even got a housewarming invitation from Gyeon Hajun who became independent in the first round.

If I had seen it and the system had erased it from my memory, I would have at least felt déjà vu.

“A text? I didn’t see it because I was sleeping. Yesterday’s filming ended a bit late.”

There was also a faint irritation in his answering voice at having his sleep disturbed.

“What?”

But in Gyeon Hajun’s next questioning response, both the sleepiness and irritation had completely disappeared.

What was contained in it was only surprise and bewilderment.

Uncharacteristically, Gyeon Hajun sat up abruptly, and the blanket slid smoothly off his shoulders.

Gyeon Hajun, who let out a dry laugh that could have been either a hollow laugh or a prelude to tears, trailed off his words as he scolded the person on the other end of the line.

“That kind of joke is a bit…”

Whatever the person on the other end of the line said, Gyeon Hajun unilaterally hung up the phone with a click and called someone.

“Hello? Jaehee, it’s me. It’s nothing serious, but Yehyeon Hyung is saying weird things… But why are you crying?”

Gyeon Hajun’s expression, which had been laughing as if absurd, gradually hardened.

“…It’s not true, right?”

Even though I kept waving my hands frantically in front of Gyeon Hajun, he didn’t even react. Hmm, he definitely can’t see me.

“Blocked, no I didn’t block him. Wait a moment.”

Gyeon Hajun’s hands were trembling as he lowered his cell phone from his ear and hurriedly accessed the text message app.

Since I had confirmed that the current Gyeon Hajun couldn’t see me anyway, I relaxed and stuck my head out to watch from the side.

I could see my name at the top of the chat window. I thought it was impressive that he hadn’t blocked my number.

I sat down next to him in earnest and watched Gyeon Hajun access the chat room with my name. I caught a glimpse earlier and saw there were tons of unread messages piled up, so let me see what he’s been ignoring.

This terribly avoidant guy had been turning away for so long, and the messages I had sent to Gyeon Hajun during that time, which of course I had no memory of, continued in a long chain.

Holy shit, I’m really dead!
