A Regression Guide for Idols Who Lost Their Initial Intentions Episode 76

 

 

[Visual blocking will be implemented for 3 hours as a penalty.]

 

If it’s visual blocking during sleep time, this can hardly be considered a penalty. It seemed the system was being unusually flexible for once.

Soon, even with my eyes open, my vision became pitch black, so I closed my eyelids and fell asleep just like that.

“Kyaaaah! Ghost! Long-haired ghost!”

And not long after, Kim Dobin’s scream woke me up.

The culprits who had caused a commotion yesterday claiming they had sleep paralysis and woke up all the members at dawn were now screaming and getting up again, making a fuss about that ghost.

This time, three out of five had the same sleep paralysis. I wondered if there really was something there, but since it didn’t appear to me, it wasn’t my concern.

Since I couldn’t see anything even with my eyes open anyway, I used those sounds as background noise and fell back into a deep sleep.

In this regard, this penalty was much better than that damn coughing up blood.

No, it was good enough to be called a reward rather than a penalty.

“I’m really most scared of that guy who sleeps soundly without even opening his eyes during all this chaos and paranormal experience.”

“Somehow, I feel like that hyung would have slept just fine even in the Shaman House concept room.”

Seo Yehyeon’s disgusted voice and Ryu Jaehee’s admiring voice faded dimly in my ears.

When I woke up after sleeping soundly until morning, the mountain lodge door was open.

I nodded toward Manager Hyung who was asking if we were safe and stretched lazily.

Finally, it was our escape from Ghost Valley Lodge.

[My Idol Real Camera – Rev Edition]

[-Hello, this is Dobin.]

 

The screen showed Dobin wearing horn-rimmed glasses with a gray zip-up hood pulled over his head.

With a serious expression, Dobin explained the components and effects of ion drinks, then put sugar and salt into a water bottle and started shaking it vigorously.

 

[-Only lucky people will get to drink the ion drink.]

-Is this really something lucky people drink? lol

-Ah, I saw that in a science book and tried making it, but it seriously tastes like sweet sweat. Don’t think of Pocari or anything like that

-Dobin’s at it again

 

With Dobin’s satisfied smile as the last shot, the screen switched to show the members gathered in the practice room.

 

[-Ta-da, wearing Christmas gifts for a whole day challenge!]

 

Yuje, with earphones in his ears, made a V sign toward the camera.

Yehyeon, wearing a cashmere muffler over his training clothes, nodded beside him.

 

[-Yes, that’s what happened…]

[-Yehyeon hyung, why do you look so dead? Do you not like the gift?]

[-I’m saying this for the tenth time now, but no matter how I think about it, this is a fashion disaster. Clothes should be worn with matching pieces that go well together.]

 

To Yehyeon’s grumbling, Yuje replied indifferently, asking what was wrong since it looked fine.

 

[-What doesn’t go well together is exactly that kind of scene.]

 

The camera captured Eden wearing a snapback with the front divided into yellow, red, and green, worn backwards.

A yellow smiley face was stuck not in the center of the snapback’s front, but on the left side.

 

-It really doesn’t suit him

-Kind of gives cognitive dissonance?

 

[-Didn’t you buy that, Jaehee?]

[-Eden hyung always wears only black snapbacks, so I gave it to him with the meaning that he should try wearing bright colors sometimes too… I didn’t know it would look so bad on him.]

 

Scratching the back of his head, Yuje honestly confessed the truth.

 

[-Don’t tell me I have to keep wearing the muffler even during practice…?]

[-You can take it off during practice. But there’s a condition! You must wear it during break time!]

[-Can I take off the snapback and ion bracelet too?]

[-Hyung, don’t tell me you don’t like the gift…?]

[-Of course not. How could I not like a gift our youngest member bought for me?]

-Oh sweet leader

-That expression is fucking annoying though lol

-Can’t he just wear it backwards again?

-Really, the more I look at it, it’s totally youngest member style, far from Eden’s style

 

Dobin, who had placed 8 water bottles including the one with homemade ion drink in the corner of the practice room, grinned at the camera.

A brief scene of Rev practicing choreography passed by.

 

-What’s this? I’ve never heard this song before, is it a new song?

-That’s it, the Music Big Match special stage

-Oh really? It’s Watch Out?

-Yehyeon really couldn’t keep up back then, but he performed the actual stage without mistakes, it’s really…

└22 I’m even more touched imagining how much effort they must have put in ㅠㅠ

 

[-10-minute break!]

 

Eden, who announced the break time, was the first to walk toward where the water bottles were gathered and picked one up.

 

-Ah, as expected

-Will the leader survive the lottery?

 

[-Ugh, what is this! Hey, Kim Dobin!]

 

Eden opened the water bottle and drank it, then as soon as he swallowed the water, he frowned and called for Dobin.

 

-Dobin appearing right away is so funny lol

-How did you win right from the first try lol

 

[-Puhahahaha! Eden hyung won the lottery!]

[-What the hell did I get that makes water taste both salty and sweet at the same time?]

[-That’s an ion drink. Kim Dobin’s special homemade ion drink.]

[-Hey, spill it quickly. How many of those special ion drinks are there among these eight?]

[-Two.]

[-So I just beat a 1 in 4 chance and drank that?]

-I thought he’d get serious and ask if this was fun, but surprisingly he’s not saying anything?

-Eden is subtly harmful to the younger members

 

After repeating practice resumption and break time twice, the eight water bottles had decreased to similar levels.

 

-Instead of finishing one bottle completely and opening another, they really just grab any random one to drink lol

-Eden opened water bottles twice and won ion drinks both times lol

 

And the third water bottle opening.

 

[-Let’s drink some actual water this time.]

 

Eden spoke with determination and gulped down the water, but immediately frowned with disgust and lowered the water bottle he was pouring into his mouth.

 

[-It’s ion drink again!]

[-No way, hyung, your success rate is 100% right now. Can you actually see it? Are you the owner of the Emperor Eye?]

[-What are you talking about. I don’t want to drink this! If I could see it, I would have avoided it! And what’s the Emperor Eye anyway?]

-Public execution of a muggle’s otaku knowledge

-He can’t understand it so he can’t play along lol

-But seriously, what’s up with Eden’s luck…? He’s the only one drinking all those ion drinks

 

[-Could it be because of this?]

 

Yehyeon pointed at Eden’s wrist. When the camera was brought close to his wrist, a bracelet hidden under his sleeve was revealed.

It was that ion bracelet he received as a Christmas gift.

 

[-Negative ion, ion…]

 

Eden muttered and turned to look at Yehyeon with a dubious expression.

 

[-Say something that makes sense.]

[-Come on, nothing to lose, just try taking it off once.]

-Yehyeon also has a surprisingly quirky side lol

-So the ion bracelet attracts ions, and due to the irresistible flow of the world, Yoon Eden could only win ion drinks?

 

Eden took off the ion bracelet and handed it to Hajun who was next to him, then picked up a water bottle with a serious expression.

Eden’s face became strange as he opened the cap and gulped it down.

 

[-Huh? This time it’s just regular water.]

[-What, was it really because of this?]

 

Yehyeon pointed at the ion bracelet Hajun was holding and shouted.

 

-Isn’t it just a probability game…?

-One out of four times could win regular water

 

Yehyeon took the ion bracelet from Hajun’s hand, put it on his own wrist, and determinedly picked a water bottle and poured it into his mouth.

 

[-Pfft! Wow, why does the water taste like this? Yoon Eden, you’ve been drinking this thinking it was ion drink this whole time?]

 

As soon as he tasted it, Yehyeon immediately spat out the water and coughed.

 

-What????

-Is it really a coincidence that he won an ion drink right after putting on the ion bracelet

-I’m telling you it’s just probability, no one seems to seriously believe that

 

[-Whoa, what? Hyung, let me try once too.]

 

When even Dobin, who took the ion bracelet from Yehyeon, won an ion drink, viewer opinion gradually leaned toward the Reve manipulation theory.

 

-Didn’t Reve mark only the ion drink water bottles to create this scenario? lol

-But Eden grabbed them too randomly without hesitation for that, if they really marked them he would have checked the marks before picking

-That really doesn’t make sense, it’s already been revealed that those ion bracelets are fake

 

[-This isn’t scripted, right?]

[-I’m starting to get a little scared now…]

[-It’s the curse of ions! The curse of ions!]

[-Youngest, did you buy this from Joonggonara by any chance? Did a real curse come with it?]

[-Wow, that’s unfair! I bought this from the official website!]

 

And that commotion ended when Hajun, wearing the ion bracelet, drank regular water instead of an ion drink.

 

[-Let’s just say our luck was damn terrible.]

[-Maybe Hajun hyung has a constitution that curses don’t work on?]

[-Right, like a positive ion constitution.]

[-No, what if even Eden hyung believes in the cursed ion bracelet theory!]

-What lol of course lol

-But the probability up until now was too ridiculous for that

-How unusual for Eden to side with Dobin who’s claiming curses and stuff

 

[Shocking twist!]

 

White subtitles appeared on a black screen, then Eden, like Dobin in the opening, placed the camera on the desk and seriously confessed the truth while holding the ion bracelet.

 

[-Actually, the youngest kept nagging me every time he saw my face, asking why I don’t wear the ion bracelet…]

[-But this bracelet isn’t my style.]

[-I made a plan right after picking an ion drink and taking one sip. A plan to make this into a cursed bracelet. So I could seal it away forever.]

[-I dented both sides of the top of the water bottles containing ion drinks. That’s how I could keep picking ion drinks.]

[-The first two times were really picked by coincidence though.]

[-Jun… Hajun almost ruined the plan, but thanks to Dobin, I got through it safely.]

-As expected… lol the probability was really crazy

-It was the leader’s scheme lol

-So that’s why the kid who usually hates curse talk sided with Dobin lol

 

[-But Yehyeon hyung and Dobin picking ion drinks while wearing this bracelet was probably a coincidence…?]

[-It must be. Where in the world do curses exist.]

[-Then I’ll seal this bracelet away now.]

 

Eden dangled the bracelet he was holding, put the ion bracelet into the desk drawer, and closed the drawer.

 

-But here’s the creepy part: excluding Eden’s two manipulations, the probability of picking ion drinks while wearing that bracelet is 90%

-There’s really something to that thing, isn’t there?

-For real, bought an ion bracelet and experimented with my sibling

 

With Eden’s figure waving at the camera as the final scene, the screen faded to black, and next week’s preview appeared.

 

[Next week!]

[-We are currently at the dormitory due to heavy snow…]

[-We are currently due to heavy snow at ‘beep-‘]

 

Doby’s figure appeared, muttering in front of the camcorder with a serious expression.

The second location couldn’t be heard due to the beep sound effect.

 

[-Wow, they’re collecting plot threads like this.]

[-It’s not a plot thread, isn’t it a prequel?]

[-I don’t want to get used to this kind of thing…]

 

The camera screen shook wildly, capturing nothing but pure white snow fields.

As the screen switched, a colorful room of unknown identity and a display cabinet with somewhat eerie dolls and props briefly flashed by.

Doby’s bleak voice rang out as narration.

 

[-This time it’s real distress.]

[-And in a place like this too.]

[-At ‘beep-‘.]

[-Aaaahhhhh!]

 

With someone’s scream as the final sound, the screen turned black and the preview ended.

 

-Distress? Could it be that Eden couldn’t come to From last week because of this?

└Where is there no internet these days, he just didn’t come because he was lazy lol lost his initial intentions lol

-Next week is already guaranteed to be super entertaining
