A Regression Guide for Idols Who Lost Their Original Intent Episode 590

* * *

-Watching Yuje running made me go “ah shit here we go again” but then all the Rev members came out together and I became a fucking Scons meme

-What is really happening this year ㅠㅠㅠㅠ It feels like just yesterday when Hajun’s teaser came out in March…

-Finally Rev complete formation!!!!!!!

-At least we get to see 5-member Rev comeback this year… I was slightly scared they’d keep doing relay solo activities until the end

-I was worried Rev would pour all their earnings into Nitens, but thankfully O3 still has some conscience and sense

The reaction to the teaser announcing Rev’s complete formation comeback was fortunately quite good.

Even though it was individual activities, I was worried that Daydream might be getting tired of seeing us too much this year, but a complete formation comeback seemed to be different.

Well, there are probably quite a few fans who want to see Seo Yehyeon and Kim Dobin too. Or they prefer the combination of all five of us over individual activities.

Since we had only decided on the concept and were still receiving candidate songs, the comeback was scheduled for around the end of this year.

The fact that more than half of this year had already passed, and that I would turn twenty-six next year, didn’t feel real.

I was already dying of worry about my own D-day of thirty-one, but now I had to worry about KJ’s D-day that came before mine. And based on this year, there were only 3 years left.

Before Cha Yeonho and KJ enlisted, no, before that trainee who died unfairly made the same choice again this time, I had to somehow expose the Shinwol problem together with them.

Before regression, I exposed the plagiarism and ghostwriter copyright exploitation case next year and Altair immediately enlisted to escape, but since I’m not planning to expose it next year this time, there might be about a year’s grace period until Altair’s enlistment?

“Hyung, I drew the sheet music you mentioned.”

Ryu Jaehee suddenly handed me a bundle of sheet music, allowing me to escape from my thoughts.

Ryu Jaehee, who had free time after finishing his solo activities, unlike someone who whined terribly when I asked him to draw a few sheets of music and kept putting it off as much as possible, faithfully completed the sheet music just two days after I gave him the assignment.

I won’t specifically mention that someone was the fake youngest member.

Originally I was going to ask him to only draw 【All Right or Night】, but since there was a possibility it could be a different song like with Kim Dobin, I just told him to draw all my songs.

My firm belief that Ryu Jaehee, who had closely witnessed my struggles with not being able to contribute to Rev with my own songs, wouldn’t deliberately hand me another composer’s song also played a part.

“Don’t give them all at once, hand them to me one by one.”

I received the sheet music one by one like I had from Kim Dobin. Even when the last sheet music came into my hands, no bug occurred this time.

If our system had fixed the bug, it would have notified me, so it doesn’t seem like the bug was fixed by our system.

Since the bug only occurs when the keyword and the situation at that time match perfectly in a two-beat rhythm, I wondered if Ryu Jaehee’s bug keyword wasn’t the song title and sheet music.

It was disappointing since I was hoping to easily unlock memory fragments through bugs.

Seo Yehyeon was accidentally stumbled upon, and Kim Dobin I guessed after several failures even asking him directly, but I had no clue about Gyeon Hajun and Ryu Jaehee’s bug keywords.

Anyway, since Gyeon Hajun seemed to have cut ties with me after I left in the 1st round, I only needed to see the 6th round bug, and for Ryu Jaehee, it didn’t matter whether it was the 1st or 4th round.

Though the 4th round would be better if possible.

“Hyung, am I not enough that you’re trying to make the youngest member into a plaything too?”

Kim Dobin, who witnessed Ryu Jaehee handing me sheet music, asked in shock.

“That damn plaything talk… Fine. Just don’t say it in front of cameras. If you’re going to say it, make sure to add ‘fun composing game.'”

I had half given up on that damn plaything complaint by now.

“Huh, how could I play with Doby hyung? Far from fun, it would burst my insides and raise my blood pressure.”

That’s exactly what I mean.

I wish that guy would understand that my constant ‘fun composing game’ is both irony and self-hypnosis I use on myself.

“But have you both thought of content topics?”

Kim Dobin, who asked the question first, was making his characteristic mouth shape and smiling, so it seemed he was planning to bring something strange or nonsensical or damn annoying and whine about doing it.

“What weird thing are you trying to suggest again?”

To fill the gap during Rev’s complete album preparation period, it was decided to film the content ‘REVErse’ in a series format, releasing one episode per week.

Since content filming had a structure where our opinions were reflected as top priority, the staff members asked what topics we wanted to film content about.

We gathered at the dorm and convened Rev’s 1,304th meeting, but all we did was spout random nonsense.

Eventually we decided to think a bit more and reconvene the meeting, and that day’s meeting ended vaguely.

“Weird? Everyone will be so impressed they’ll give a standing ovation when they hear it. How interesting is the topic you thought of that you’re already keeping me in check?”

I never kept you in check.

The content topic I racked my brain to think of was a composing camp. But now it was closer to a marine boot camp rather than a harmonious camping trip.

I had also thought of all the effective composing study methods I realized while teaching Lee Haewon. It was a method I couldn’t use on Lee Haewon, who I needed to lower his guard and build familiarity with, but I could use it to my heart’s content on our beloved members.

So what. Are you going to drop the relationship improvement back to 50? I already received all the rewards, right? All the hidden missions are finished, right?

“Wow… When you smile like that, you look like a villain who’s planning world destruction while laughing, not knowing they’ll be defeated by the protagonist in 10 seconds.”

“Shut up, man. It’s a smile of joy thinking about dragging you to hell.”

“Is it okay to film that kind of thing as content to show fans?”

While I was giving Kim Dobin a headlock, the promised meeting time had arrived.

We held Rev’s 1,305th meeting with this content series as the topic.

“Let’s do a temple stay! Vegetarian! Low-calorie! Vegan!”

As expected, Seo Yehyeon, whose eyes rolled at low-calorie meals, advocated for temple stay.

“Let’s just go on a light trip. Since we went to the valley last time, let’s go to the ocean this time.”

Gyeon Hajun suggesting a really safe idea.

“Volunteer work with abandoned dogs or cats, would this be a bit much to film as content? It would be better to do this kind of volunteer work quietly, right? I pass on giving an opinion.”

Ryu Jaehee who realized while talking and called GG.

“Let’s go to a composing camp. Lock everyone in a mountain lodge with a tough curriculum that rivals marine boot camp-“

“Pass! Pass!”

Me, pushed back by everyone’s outcry before I could even finish speaking.

And lastly…

“Debut documentary!”

Kim Dobin, who sounded like nonsense to anyone but I don’t know why he was so confident.

“These days they film documentaries from before debut and upload them. But we didn’t have anything like that. So the idea is to make one now, even if it’s late.”

At Kim Dobin’s confident words, Gyeon Hajun, who valued realism most, coldly refuted.

“We’re already in our 6th year, how do we film a debut documentary? It’s impossible unless we go back to our debut days.”

I could do it. Just swear 50 times and I could wake up on debut day.

But I can’t film a documentary. Who would watch a Rev documentary from that era anyway? Until 【One Chance】 hit and we appeared on My Idol observation camera, we were fucking hopeless idols.

“A fake documentary where we act out that era. The innocent, kind, and pure time from 5 years ago.”

“Innocent, kind, and pure? Then what about the guys who gave me the nickname Evil Eden back then?”

When I refuted with sparkling eyes, the youngest line pretended not to hear in unison. Kim Dobin quickly continued.

“Even the CEO hasn’t sold our first dorm, that semi-basement yet. It’s empty right now?”

“How do you know that?”

“I asked the CEO if he remembered our first dorm since we wanted to film this kind of content. I was going to borrow it for filming if no one was living there.”

Then, Seo Yehyeon, who had been quietly listening, spoke in a very reluctant tone.

“Recreate that time…? Our debut days…?”

Seo Yehyeon shook his head briefly with a face that didn’t look pleased at all and muttered as if talking to himself.

“Sounds like there’ll be personality controversies and discord rumors…”

Seo Yehyeon didn’t specify the subject, but I had a rough idea whose personality controversy he meant. Hmm, but it seems he did some good self-reflection on his past.

But it seems everyone else is thinking differently except me. Judging by how I’m the only one looking at Seo Yehyeon while all the other members are looking at me.

“Why is everyone looking at me and making a fuss?”

“Then why are you looking at me?”

“I naturally thought it was your self-reflection comment.”

“Do you have no conscience or no memory?”

“Both exist so don’t worry.”

“Is that something a person with both conscience and memory would say?”

Whether Seo Yehyeon and I were pushing personality controversies onto each other or not, Kim Dobin seriously laid out his opinion.

“So we need appropriate adaptation. A kind of propaganda that we were this harmonious from our debut days.”

“From what I see, appropriate adaptation won’t work. From what I see, we need to completely overhaul it. So that the original version of us from that era doesn’t exist.”

“Wouldn’t the level of second memories created by the wicked things in Eden hyung’s studio be enough?”

“Even that’s not enough. We need to completely eliminate the original, right hyung?”

Ryu Jaehee also seriously accepted and coordinated that opinion, and the atmosphere was gradually leaning toward Kim Dobin’s suggestion. Even Gyeon Hajun, whom I trusted, agreed.

“It would be fun though. It would revive the original intent from that era too.”

I’ve revived that original intent enough! Hey, how many times have I repeated waking up in that semi-basement dorm from debut days!

It hadn’t been long since the system sent me back to debut days again claiming to fix errors, and now the members were trying to forcibly drag me back to that era.

* * *

The familiar semi-basement dorm.

“Current date: August 1st, 20xx. Today is the birthday of Eden Hyung, who became the leader of our group. Wow-.”

A fake documentary filming that starts with my birthday.

It’s really fake from the very first page. You guys didn’t throw me a birthday party like this back then, you bastards.
