Regression Manual for an Idol Who Lost Their Original Intentions Chapter 92

“You know you have to take off your shoes when boarding a plane, right?”

“Wow, what ancient nonsense is that? Does anyone besides Cardcaptor Cherry believe that?”

“Listen here, you brat who’s going to Jeju Island with a passport because you don’t even have an ID card.”

I replied indifferently while checking once more if my ID card and driver’s license were properly in my wallet.

Ryu Jaehee grumbled after getting scolded for a joke that I didn’t play along with.

“Hyung, you just disrespected everyone in the world who’s 17 or younger.”

“No, how does the conversation go that way? And you’re a high school sophomore this year, so you’re 18. Doesn’t that make you 17 in Korean age?”

“My birthday hasn’t passed yet. Hyung, don’t you even know my birthday?”

“September… I don’t know, dude.”

“I won’t remember hyung’s birthday either.”

“Hey, August 1st.”

Seo Yehyeon shook his head wondering what kind of conversation this was, then grabbed his luggage and swiftly passed by us.

“Hyung, but what class is your driver’s license?”

“Of course it’s Class 1 regular. When you get yours later, get Class 1 regular too.”

“Why?”

“Class 2 and automatic don’t have the same swagger.”

“I’ll just get the easy one.”

This brat, after I gave him advice that would benefit him.

This was a trip sent by which finished filming in mid-February.

Due to production schedule issues on ‘s side, they had no choice but to film the epilogue at a filming location in the Seoul suburbs instead of the promised healing trip.

After that, our side was also busy with comeback preparations and such, while ‘s side was busy contacting new idols.

Anyway, so this was an epilogue being filmed again two and a half months after the reality show filming ended.

Since it wasn’t during the broadcast period, this wouldn’t be aired on cable and was scheduled to be uploaded only to Rev’s official YouTube account.

Well, it would probably be uploaded with a title like ‘My Idol Observation Camera Keeps Its Promise’.

After arriving at Jeju Airport and exiting the airport with the production crew’s guidance, we saw a rental car.

The sedan was sufficient for five people to ride, and cameras were installed inside the car.

I handed the destination to the production crew in advance and entered the destination into the navigation. It was a beach famous for its beautiful scenery.

I sat in the driver’s seat and put on the sunglasses I brought. Ryu Jaehee, who got in the passenger seat, immediately connected his phone to the Bluetooth speaker, saying he had made a driving playlist.

“If there were four of us, we could have driven with the convertible top down.”

“It’s not too late even now. Let’s drop one person and rent a convertible.”

“No, it’s too late.”

Before Kim Dobin could say more nonsense, I grabbed the steering wheel and started the car.

After driving for a while and entering the coastal road, a refreshing and exciting melody that Ryu Jaehee played echoed through the car. It was a pop song I knew well too.

When I asked why he didn’t play it earlier and was playing it now, he said this kind of thing should be played while looking at the ocean scenery on the coastal road.

Too lazy to say anything, I smoothly turned the steering wheel with one hand while humming along.

“I should get my driver’s license right when I turn twenty too.”

Ryu Jaehee muttered as if making a resolution while looking at me instead of the open beachfront scenery. I lifted my sunglasses and chuckled.

“Why, does hyung look too cool driving?”

Ryu Jaehee nodded vigorously. Gyeon Hajun, who got his license around the same time as me though we didn’t take it together, asked.

“Eden, did you take driving lessons somewhere?”

“No comment.”

I did buy a car before regression and drove around well. Ah, my beloved Ferrari that I bought new but barely got to drive a few times.

“I need to get my license too.”

“Originally, twenty-one is the deadline. If you don’t get it by then, you won’t get it later either.”

I gave an appropriate response to the eldest hyung’s words, who was still unlicensed despite being twenty-two, then went back to humming.

After driving for a while, we arrived at our destination. The wide open blue ocean came into view.

I filled my eyes with the waves sparkling as if light was shattering under the sunlight.

Since it wasn’t peak season yet, there weren’t many people on the beach. It was early May, so the weather was between spring and summer.

Ryu Jaehee and Kim Dobin were the first to throw off their shoes and socks on the sandy beach, roll up their pants, and run toward the seawater.

I was worried they might enter the water fully clothed, but fortunately they seemed to have some sense.

The feeling of regret that it would be disappointing to come all this way and not even dip our feet once clashed with the feeling that the sand that would stick to our bare feet after dipping them would be annoying.

As I was wondering whether to just sit on the sandy beach, Seo Yehyeon lightly tugged on my sleeve.

“Let’s all five of us at least dip our feet once before we go.”

I thought he was on the same side as me about not going into the seawater, but what’s this about.

When I blinked and looked at him, Seo Yehyeon scratched his cheek.

“Since we came all this way, it would be a waste not to go into the seawater at least once. I was also disappointed that we couldn’t even dip our feet in the Sokcho ocean we went to in February.”

Come to think of it, Seo Yehyeon was also the one who brought up the ocean topic in the meeting on the first day of My Idol Observation Camera filming.

Pretending to be persuaded by those words, I threw off my shoes and socks and rolled up my pants. Future Yoon Eden can handle the cleanup.

I clicked my tongue watching the youngest line splash water at each other and inevitably soak their clothes with seawater, then took a step toward the seawater. The cool seawater wet my feet.

“Why is that hyung shooting a pictorial by himself.”

When the sea breeze blew and gently tousled Seo Yehyeon’s hair as he looked at the horizon, it was instantly a video pictorial.

Gyeon Hajun nodded as if agreeing with my muttering.

The hem of the shirt lightly worn over his t-shirt fluttered in the wind.

Looking at the wide open ocean, I felt like the stuffiness from my slump was clearing up a little.

“It feels strange because it’s so peaceful.”

“Right. It feels like we should push someone into the seawater any moment to create broadcast content.”

I replied to Gyeon Hajun’s words and slightly closed my eyes. Cool weather. Waves lightly hitting my calves as they passed. And seawater splashing on my face…

“Jaehee, Doby. Having fun?”

“Gasp, Eden hyung, that was… definitely not on purpose…”

“Ah, hyung! Isn’t there a difference in weight between a few drops and scooping up water with your hands to pour?”

I was pouring seawater on the heads of the youngest line who had splashed water on me while playing around, when the production crew called us together.

“We’ve prepared a fishing experience and a horseback riding experience.”

I nodded while drying my hair with a towel. As expected, it’s not completely free travel.

“The fishing experience is for two people, and the horseback riding experience is for three people.”

“Do we go where we want? Or do we decide with a game?”

“You can go where you want. But if the numbers lean to one side, we’ll have to inevitably make adjustments.”

Gyeon Hajun and I chose fishing, and the other three chose horseback riding. Thanks to that, there was no need to adjust the numbers.

The reason I chose fishing was to cast the fishing rod into the ocean and maybe fall into contemplation while looking at the sea.

That’s resting too. With horseback riding, once you get on the horse, you can’t let your guard down.

After eating lunch together at a restaurant, we split up according to our chosen experiences and took separate cars with the filming teams.

The car drove for a while and arrived at a marina where boats were gathered.

We boarded the boat the production crew had reserved, put on life jackets, arrived at the fishing spot, and received a simple explanation of fishing methods.

Fortunately, neither Gyeon Hajun nor I got seasick.

One minute after threading bait onto the fishing hook, casting it into the ocean, and standing still looking at the sea. The fishing rod shook violently.

With that as a prelude, what began was not the leisurely angler experience I wanted, but Extreme Jobs – Fishing Edition.

“What is this? Why do they keep getting caught?”

I clutched my head while diligently throwing the continuously caught fish into a water-filled bucket.

“This isn’t the kind of fishing I wanted. What I wanted was to leisurely cast the fishing rod like an old angler and feel the aesthetics of waiting… Aaaah, I caught another one!”

Even in that brief moment of talking to the camera filming me, another fish was caught.

“You’re good at picking only the big ones to catch. Have you done some fishing before?”

The captain who glanced at the bucket chuckled and passed by.

Rather, Gyeon Hajun was having the fishing experience I wanted.

Gyeon Hajun, who had leaned his fishing rod against the railing and rested his chin on his hand, looked at the ocean with bored eyes and said.

“I was prepared for this, but it’s really boring when nothing gets caught.”

“Jun, then want to switch places with me? No, should we switch fishing rods too?”

I was diligently reeling in the fishing line without even having time to feel bored.

I tried blocking both the blessing of location and the blessing of equipment, but the results didn’t change.

As I got off the boat, my hands held a bag full of fish we caught today.

This isn’t about “if you must live, you must die; if you must die, you must live.” Is it more like “if you try to catch, you won’t catch anything, but if you don’t try to catch, your fishing luck will explode”?

“…I definitely chose fishing to relax.”

“I really wanted to catch a lot.”

Walking side by side and muttering, we both burst into laughter at the same time. This ironic situation was somehow funny.

We had the fish cleaned at a restaurant in front of the marina and got in the car to head to our accommodation.

The accommodation was a neat private pension. The horseback riding members who had arrived before us welcomed us.

“Hyungs, was fishing fun?”

“No, I only caught one or two fish.”

Gyeon Hajun shook his head briefly as he replied. Ryu Jaehee, who took the bag from me, saw the bag full of sashimi and spicy fish stew ingredients and asked with wide eyes.

“Whoa, then what’s all this sashimi?”

“This hyung caught all of it. By the way, there are also ingredients for spicy fish stew.”

“Didn’t Eden Hyung catch everything, including Hajun Hyung’s share?”

Uh, that seems to be the case.

Watching Ryu Jaehee spend 10 minutes telling stories about horseback riding when asked if it was fun, I regretted asking.

Dinner was a BBQ party in the front yard of the pension. Along with the sashimi I caught. There was also red sea bream and tilefish sashimi.

“Yoon Eden! Take some meat!”

Surprisingly, Seo Yehyeon volunteered to be in charge of grilling the meat.

Since he wasn’t going to eat anyway, he said he’d take on the role of grilling meat.

He couldn’t even tell us to eat a little since we were in front of the camera, so he silently grilled meat for us.

Seo Yehyeon only ate a few wraps that Ryu Jaehee fed him, filled with sashimi and vegetables.

“We’re not going to get stranded again, are we…?”

“It’s okay. It’s May now, Doby. There’s no way it would snow.”

Gyeon Hajun preemptively spoke firmly to Kim Dobin, who was saying nonsense while eating meat.

After thoroughly finishing the spicy fish stew with ramen, we cleaned up and went back into the pension.

We gathered in front of the camera and decided what to do until bedtime. It was essentially to create content for the broadcast.

The pension had board games like Blue Marble, trump cards, and Halli Galli, which had left painful memories for me and Gyeon Hajun.

“Let’s try that!”

Ryu Jaehee raised his hand high and his eyes sparkled.

“Study time!”
