Regression Manual for an Idol Who Lost Their Original Intentions Chapter 82

Miss Lee, a light fan of Rev, fell into deep thought while looking at the link her classmate friend, who was a true fan of Rev and had promoted Rev to her, sent through chat.

It was , which she had dropped after finding it boring in episode 1 or 2.

Her friend made a big fuss saying this time it was really interesting, but since she was the same person who said episodes 1 and 2 were interesting too, Miss Lee didn’t really believe her.

After all, isn’t it true that your favorite idol is entertaining just by looking at their face? Therefore, her friend could be said to have lost objectivity.

But she had plenty of time anyway. Miss Lee touched the link, thinking she’d give it a try.

Unlike other episodes that had at most 100,000 views, this one had quite high view counts that caught her eye.

‘Is it really interesting…?’

When she played the video, the first thing she saw was Rev sitting around a cafe table.

[My Idol Observation Camera First Day Meeting]

[-Let’s just go to the ocean, the ocean.]

[-Winter ocean isn’t fun though.]

[-Then want to go to the mountains?]

[-I think the ocean would be good after all.]

The word “Ocean” scribbled on the whiteboard gradually zoomed in, and the scene changed to Rev playing around on the beach.

[-Try to catch me!]

[-Do we really have to do this among ourselves?]

[-Right now we’ve already doodled on the sandy beach, dipped our feet in, and this is all we have left to do, Doby Hyung. But we can’t make the hyungs who are taking that boring stroll along the beach do this.]

[Rev having fun at the winter ocean!]

‘Oh, this is really boring as hell.’

Where exactly were they having fun…? Miss Lee’s fan devotion and patience weren’t deep enough to keep watching scenes of them just walking along the beach in the snow without even going into the water.

Miss Lee left the video screen and sent her friend an honest 5-minute viewing review.

Then her friend’s urgent message came back.

[Please just keep watching that’s the most boring part and after that it’s all super fun] 10:30 PM

[Let’s say the beginning part is kind of a fake out ah really you have to watch this without knowing for it to be more honey-sweet fun!] 10:31 PM

[I’m telling you so you don’t drop out] 10:32 PM

Miss Lee, who replied that she’d trust her and watch until the 10-minute mark, played the video again.

And 30 seconds after the part where she had stopped, she suddenly saw Rev moving by car.

Wasn’t the content theme supposed to be the ocean…? Is it okay for the ocean playing scene to end in just 5 minutes?

Whether Miss Lee was confused or not, the ocean grew more and more distant.

A scene of them earnestly shopping at the mart was briefly shown.

Getting caught while secretly putting foods they wanted to eat in the cart while avoiding Hajun and Yehyeon’s eyes provided some small laughs.

When the car stopped in front of an old pension after driving along the mountain road, the sky was already getting dark.

When Doby, who had received the key, opened the door wide, something pure white simultaneously pounced on him.

[-Ahhhhh!]

[A mysterious something that suddenly jumped out!]

With Doby almost crying behind him, Eden tapped a human-sized doll hanging from a rope.

The smeared eyes and mouth stimulated fear, but Eden seemed unfazed.

[-What, it’s just a doll.]

[-Can’t we go home? I already want to go back to the dormitory…]

But Doby, who was eventually forced to enter the pension by the leading hands, saw the window-like ghost frames hanging on the wall and let out another resounding scream.

[-We said we were going to the ocean. We didn’t say we were going to a ghost house!]

[Is that really so?]

The screen rewound to show the very first scene – the meeting at the cafe.

Doby raised his hand high and gave his opinion.

[-How about a ghost house?]

[-What kind of ghost house when you’re such a scaredy-cat. Hyung doesn’t want to carry you out after you faint there.]

How-a-bout-a-ghost-house.

The audio played once more in slow mode, then returned to the scene inside the pension.

[My Idol Observation Camera that carefully listens to even the smallest opinions!]

While Miss Lee was laughing at Doby suffering under the disaster he brought upon himself, another message arrived from her true fan friend.

[If you watched without stopping you’d be at the pension entry part by now] 10:42 PM

[There are two parts where it really seems like ghosts appeared] 10:43 PM

For Miss Lee, who was very interested in occult and horror, this was the ultimate content.

[15:23 this part and 21:01 this part] 10:45 PM

Miss Lee, who had noted down the times, played the video again.

The Rev members were shown opening rooms decorated with escape room horror concepts one by one.

Opening a closet and being forced to hug the ghost inside, carelessly lifting a blanket to discover a bloody doll and collapsing to the floor, following Seo Yehyeon’s pointing and tumbling backward as soon as their gaze moved – Doby’s reactions were the highlight among them all.

Though overshadowed by Doby, Yuje’s reactions were no less impressive.

It was the moment when the youngest line was officially recognized as Rev’s scaredy-cats.

Yehyeon pretended to be fine while flinching, then made eye contact with a ghost photo stuck to the ceiling and let out a refreshing scream, ruining his act of composure.

In contrast, Eden and Hajun, called the same-age duo, were very calm no matter what jumped out.

You could tell the two weren’t very scared. Miss Lee was impressed enough by Eden making ASMR jokes.

The 15 minutes 23 seconds her friend told her about was the part where Yuje and Doby entered the room they chose.

The room decorated like a shaman house provided gloominess and fear even when viewed through the screen.

Miss Lee, who paused at 15 minutes 23 seconds, barely swallowed the scream she almost let out upon seeing the scene on screen.

The incense smoke on screen was shaped like a screaming person’s face. The shape was too clear to dismiss as coincidence.

When she hurriedly played the video, the smoke scattered into the air as if nothing had happened, and the Rev members appeared on screen again.

[-Oh, if there had been dust accumulated, it would have felt more realistic since it would seem like it was left alone for a long time.]

[-It’s scary enough already…]

Fortunately or unfortunately, Rev didn’t see that scene as they were busy looking at the Buddhist paintings on the wall and the ritual food on the model altar.

Seeing Doby overreacting to every rustling sound, she thought ignorance was indeed bliss.

If he had seen that, Doby probably would have fainted and then some.

Since everyone except Eden agreed they couldn’t sleep in the rooms, the Rev members brought blankets and pillows from the rooms and laid them out in the living room.

[-Hyung, I can’t go in! I really feel like I’ll get beaten up if I go in there!]

[-No, there’s no shaman here, so what the hell kind of exorcism is that supposed to be.]

Thanks to Doby’s stubborn refusal, Eden went into the shaman house concept room and brought out a blanket.

Eden tried to tell ghost stories but was stopped by the Youngest Line, and Yehyeon, who had checked the window, worried about being isolated, saying the snow was no joke.

[-I feel like a ghost is suddenly going to crawl out of that grandfather clock! Like it’ll crouch next to me while I’m sleeping and whisper the grandfather clock sounds in my ear!]

[-Just become a horror movie screenwriter. You’d even win an Oscar, seriously.]

After making a big fuss over the suddenly chiming grandfather clock, everyone fell into a deep sleep, exhausted.

Along with the plinking music box lullaby as background music, sobbing sounds were layered in.

[Sobbing sounds coming from somewhere?]

[Still, Rev is sleeping so well…]

[-Aaaahhhhh!]

[-Ahhhhh!]

With screams, two people simultaneously bolted upright. It was Yehyeon and Yuje, their entire bodies drenched in cold sweat.

At the same time, the 21 minutes and 1 second that my friend had mentioned arrived. This time, Miss Lee, who couldn’t find anything, sent a message and immediately received a reply.

[(MyIdolGhost.gif)] 11:21 PM

[When these guys screamed, the ghost frame here suddenly shook by itself] 11:22 PM

Rewinding 10 seconds to check, the frame really was shaking by itself, captured on screen.

It wasn’t even focused on the frame, and the camera was capturing the entire living room when it shook, so it was hard to call it manipulation.

[-What? What is it?]

[-What happened?]

[-Kyaaah, mountain lodge killer? Ghost?]

[The members waking up one by one after hearing the screams!]

The other three members also rubbed their eyes and sluggishly raised their upper bodies.

[-No… I had sleep paralysis… A long-haired ghost in red clothes was strangling my neck…]

[-What? Jaehee, you too?]

[-Hyung too?]

Looking at each other while clutching their blankets and trembling, Yehyeon and Yuje had cold water thrown on them by Eden.

[-Isn’t that an extremely typical imaginary ghost appearance? It’s just a nightmare created by imagination.]

[-But is it possible for two people to have the exact same nightmare?]

[The atmosphere suddenly turns chilly]

The scene captured three who couldn’t fall back asleep and the two same-age members quietly pulling their blankets back over themselves.

Doby shook Eden, who was covering himself with the blanket up to his neck, and whimpered.

[-Hyung… there really must be a ghost… I keep hearing sobbing sounds…]

[-Yeah yeah, anyone can see it’s a recorder. We saw one installed in the room too. Okay? Let’s sleep now, please.]

[-But what if it’s not actually a recorder? We don’t even know if a recorder really exists in this living room right now. I really can’t sleep unless I confirm that recorder with my own eyes…]

[-Oh, my poor fate.]

Eden lamented and got up again, throwing off his blanket with half-open eyes.

‘Surprisingly, Eden listens to everything Doby says.’

It seemed true that unless it was music-related work, he usually gave in to the members.

[Thus began the treasure(X) recorder(O) hunt]

[↙The recorder is this way]

An arrow and subtitle appeared pointing toward under the sofa. The Rev members, just as the production crew intended, didn’t even think to check under the sofa and were only searching innocent places.

[-Usually these things are hidden behind picture frames like this. Huh, it’s not here.]

[-Maybe it’s inside the fireplace? Ugh, dust…]

The three scaredy-cats were only poking around visible places under the dim lighting, and it was entirely up to the same-age duo to actively search places where a recorder might actually be hidden.

But even they didn’t think to check under the sofa, so the recorder was never found until the end.

Eventually giving up on finding the recorder, Rev stayed awake all night with the sobbing sounds as background music.

Fast-forwarding showed the sky outside the window gradually brightening, and it became completely morning.

[-I have a habit of exercising in the morning… I should at least go for a light walk.]

Yehyeon spoke awkwardly to the camera installed at the entrance, then glanced back at the other members who were finally lying down on their blankets with relief now that the sun was shining brightly, and continued.

[-It seems like there are no members who want to come with me.]

Yehyeon’s face immediately became serious as he roughly put on his shoes and tried to open the front door.

[-The door won’t open.]

[-What?]

[※Emergency Situation※]

[Rev trapped in the dormitory due to heavy snow!?]

The genre suddenly changed from horror to survival drama.
