Kim Ilmong @onemongkim

It’s not even funny how you bash other groups’ 7-year fake friendship to deny your own group’s 14-year discord rumors

Do you have 7-year friends? Looking at how you talk, seems like you don’t have any friends at all lol

I wasn’t particularly surprised to see Daydreams fighting on social media anymore, but what caught my attention were two words in the quoted post.

‘Altair discord rumors’

I had already heard from Jiwon hyung today that Cha Yeonho had been probing around, and now with these discord rumors surfacing, I couldn’t help but feel anxious.

The most helpful internal whistleblower would be KJ rather than Cha Yeonho.

Honestly, Cha Yeonho, who had regressed six times with his memories intact yet only made blunders, wasn’t particularly trustworthy. Even with memory manipulation, it didn’t make sense that I, who wasn’t even a long-time friend of KJ or from Shinwol Entertainment, knew more than him.

And rather than me, who was already misunderstood as Cha Yeonho’s ally, it would be much more likely for Cha Yeonho, his long-time friend, to persuade KJ.

Hoping it wasn’t discord rumors between Cha Yeonho and KJ, I tapped on the quoted post.

Smile Jun @jjunluv

Why are you suddenly grabbing Rev’s hair over Altair discord rumors…?

14-year friendship couldn’t get much public attention for 14 years, but the ^half^ 7-year friendship gets called fake friendship while becoming a well-known best friend story that even muggles know about loyalty – you must be really jealous lol

「Eagle Hunter @aquila_dusgh0701

Seriously, even 7-year friendships get called fake friendship bullshit while doing friendship viral marketing like crazy, so why are you so desperate to bash 14-year friends who are twice that? Honestly, Yeonho’s illness manipulation…」

Eagle Hunter @aquila_dusgh0701

Seriously, they make such a big deal about a measly 7-year friendship and spread friendship viral content like crazy, so why are they so desperate to tear down a 14-year friendship that’s twice as long? Honestly, Yeonho’s delusional fans trying to manipulate things is so obvious lol They used to push the narrative that Yeonho was being left out, and now that doesn’t work anymore so they’re bringing up rumors about him cutting ties with Jungju? Please just leave Yeonho alone ㅠ That’s not gonna make your fave the top popular member of Altair ㅠ

「Red Hood Chacha @yeoncha

You know Nyeongho and Nau are 14-year friends but you stubbornly create forced discord rumors with just speculation

Making discord rumors with just a few photos for kids who’ve been together for 14 years, damn…」

After clicking through posts structured like nested quotes within quotes, I finally found the original post.

Red Hood Chacha @yeoncha

You know Nyeongho and Nau are 14-year friends but you stubbornly create forced discord rumors with just speculation

Seeing you spread discord rumors with just a few photos for kids who’ve been together for 14 years makes me feel sorry for you since you really seem to have no friends in real life, I can’t even curse at you… Stop projecting your inferiority complex about others’ friendships and causing widespread trouble, go outside and make some real-life friends, damn

Hmm, judging by the profile picture being Cha Yeonho’s photo, Nyeongho seems to be Cha Yeonho, but I have no idea who Nau is. As far as I know, there was no member named Nau in Altair.

From context it seems like KJ, but how would I know exactly how many years KJ and Cha Yeonho have been friends. Since I needed to know for sure, I took my phone to Ryu Jaehee, who knew all this stuff inside and out.

“Youngest, can you interpret this for me?”

Ryu Jaehee took the phone I suddenly handed him, skimmed through the post, searched on his own phone, and gave me an interpretation in less than a few minutes.

“It seems discord rumors between Cha Yeonho sunbae and KJ sunbae surfaced in Altair’s fandom because of some photo. So now they’re desperately shielding by saying the two are 14-year friends so discord rumors are ridiculous, while painting whoever raised the discord rumors as someone with no real-life friends who doesn’t understand friendship.”

It was a clean interpretation that I could understand immediately, but there was one part I didn’t get.

“Nau is KJ?”

“Yes, I’m sure.”

“Why?”

“I think they’re calling him by taking ‘ije’ from K’ije’i and changing ‘ije’ to English ‘now’ as a nickname.”

“Why…?”

“That’s just how the nickname world works.”

I have no idea what mechanism that is.

At least I understand 2E and ㅇ3 now. E has “든” attached to it, and ㅇ3 was something like LnL→엘엔엘→ㅇㅇㅇ→ㅇ3.

Of course I didn’t figure it out myself – when I was pulling my hair asking what alien language this was, Ryu Jaehee couldn’t stand it and told me.

I was about to gain some confidence thinking I now knew nicknames, but encountering KJ becoming Nau made my confidence disappear again.

“Youngest, can you find out what caused the discord rumors?”

When I casually outsourced to Ryu Jaehee as usual, he looked at me with suspicious eyes.

“Hyung, were you always this interested in Altair? You usually didn’t care whether other groups lived or died. No matter how much gossip I brought you, you said you weren’t interested and just picked your ears.”

Kim Dobin, who had been lying on the cot diligently using his phone, also slowly lifted his gaze from the phone screen to look at me.

“Well-“

I was about to thoughtlessly reveal my connection with Cha Yeonho but stopped. Oh right, these guys didn’t know about my secret meetings with Cha Yeonho.

“I’m just curious why Hajun and I got dragged into this for no reason.”

Fortunately it seemed like a convincing reason, so Ryu Jaehee didn’t ask further and found the cause of the discord rumors for me.

It was several photos of KJ and Cha Yeonho where anyone could feel the distance between them, and a video of KJ brushing off and walking away from a drink Cha Yeonho offered.

-Did Yeonho and Jeongjun fight? He’s so blatantly swatting his hand away, I feel worse watching it

-Sasaengs were saying these two had a weird atmosphere lately, no matter how you look at it they seem to have fought └There was that kind of vibe since they came back from Hawaii

└Are you proud of consuming sasaeng stories? lol

-Isn’t Kwon Jeongjun crazy?? Yeonho is looking at him so sadly biting his lips like that and he ignores it??? Even if Yeonho stole 100 million, that face would make forgiveness totally possible!

-Aquilas all know Yeonho and Jeongjun cried, laughed, and went through everything together for 14 years, but throwing a few photos and a few-second video and spreading discord rumors everywhere feels too intentional, doesn’t it?

-Even 14-year friends can fight and have days they don’t want to talk and sometimes find each other annoying, but there’s no official statement and making discord and breakup drama from just photos and video clips is a bit much

└Try doing exactly what KJ did in that video to your friend and see if breakup talk comes up or not

I was worried about our team’s early discord rumors while filming the fake documentary, but another team’s discord rumors erupted first.

I trudged back to the room, flopped onto the mattress, and muttered as if lamenting.

“How do you make two people fight each other?”

I felt two pairs of eyes looking at me with deep distrust. At the silent gazes asking what I was planning to do now, I raised both hands in surrender and grumbled an explanation.

“At least I’m not planning to start fights within our group, so don’t worry.”

“To start a fight, sowing discord between both sides is most effective, but you don’t seem like you’d be good at that. It’d be faster to just pray for a fight to break out.”

Seo Yehyeon couldn’t provide a particularly helpful answer. Sowing discord would make their relationship worse, and what I wanted was for those two to reconcile.

Isn’t there some item or something? I could transform into Cha Yeonho and hit KJ once, then transform into KJ and hit Cha Yeonho once.

Then those two would get into a fight, I’d get to hit the guys I wanted to hit once each – truly killing two birds with one stone.

As for KJ, well, now that the circumstances were revealed, I was willing to hit him more gently than Cha Yeonho.

Of course, I knew very well it was nonsensical bullshit.

Because our damn household system never gives me the items I want.

“So, my goal isn’t a fight that ruins their relationship, but like what Jun and I did – through exchanging punches, drawing out each other’s sincere feelings and enabling reconciliation…”

“I didn’t particularly want to punch you back then.”

Gyeon Hajun replied. It was news to me.

I had put a lot of force into hitting him, so I naturally thought Hajun also secretly wanted to hit me back.

Then what does that make me for throwing the first punch, Jun?

“I wanted to resolve things through conversation as much as possible. It’s just that you suddenly told me to hit you and threw a punch out of nowhere.”

“Oh, so you threw a punch too because you felt wronged about getting hit alone?”

“No, I was worried you’d feel guilty since you unilaterally beat him up.”

Gyeon Hajun kept making me out to be the bad guy. What does that make me then, Jun?

Next to me, Seo Yehyeon clicked his tongue as if to say how much guilt I must have felt. Of course, if I had unilaterally beaten up Seo Yehyeon, whose mutual fault was fucking severe, I wouldn’t have felt guilty.

But wouldn’t I feel guilty if I unilaterally beat up Gyeon Hajun, who was practically tap dancing on my trigger switch?

Of course, if I said anything, he’d obviously just tell me to stop discriminating against him compared to Yehyeon, so I just let it slide.

To think that at my age, I have to worry about how to reconcile these dark-skinned bastards who are at least two years older than me.

I guess the only answer is a three-way confrontation.
