Episode 110
The next morning.
[Rebooting……]
Wow, is this actually real?
I’m pretty sure that message was the last thing I saw before falling asleep, but it’s still showing that.
The bigger problem is that even though I feel like I got enough sleep, the body aches haven’t gone away.
If anything, it feels worse than yesterday, but I’m praying it’s just my imagination.
My body feels heavy and weak, and something feels seriously wrong—
I slipped quietly into the living room without waking my sleeping roommates and pulled out the thermometer from the storage closet.
Even though it’s getting warmer, my skin is burning hot, and I had a bad feeling.
38.1 degrees……
Alright, let’s face it. Being sick is awful.
“Hello? Park Joo-young? Oh, yes. It’s Seo Ji-on. Um, I just woke up and checked my temperature, and I think I really should go to the Hospital……. Yes, the other members are all asleep.”
And so, after Pod Arc’s first competition ended, I found myself headed to the Hospital without exception.
When you’re sick, the best thing to do is recognize it quickly and go to the Hospital. Don’t just tough it out—just go.
***
Because the Hospital told me to rest, I ended up forcibly excluded from today’s scheduled university festival appearance.
Still, after getting an IV Drip and resting a bit, my fever went down and my throat felt fine, so I asked if I could still go to the event, but I got shut down at the manager level and had to quietly return to the Dormitory.
I tried to appeal subtly right up until I got back to the Dormitory, but since it was a regional schedule, I just got word that everyone had already left……
Since no one’s ever been sick and skipped before, I don’t think anyone’s ever had to cover another member’s part, so I have no idea if this will be okay.
There’s no point in worrying, so after the Hospital visit I just slept off the backlog. Body aches clear up quickly once you take your medicine and get some rest.
I never intended to work this hard……
If I could do things the easy way, I’d want to do it that way.
When you think about it, this is all the System’s fault.
That’s what I was thinking, staring at the System that had finished Rebooting.
When I really think about it, there are plenty of questions. The unnaturalness of the Regression’s trigger, why it had to be an Idol, how Items work—all of it.
If I started questioning all of that, I’d get way too in my head about it, so I just choose not to.
As I was thinking those thoughts, I suddenly heard the front door open.
The manager probably went with the members to their schedule, and there’s no one who should be coming to the Dormitory at this hour……
“…What, what’s going on?”
“Geez, I even went out of my way to buy porridge, and this is the reaction I get?”
“Wait, how did you know our Dormitory password? And how did you even know I’d be here……?”
Sim Yu-jeong looked at me with pity as I just blinked in surprise.
“Kang Su-ah told me. She said you’d probably be at the Dormitory, and if she didn’t get you to eat something, you wouldn’t eat anything, so I should pick something up.”
“Wow.”
“She gave me the password too. Happy now?”
“I was just curious……”
“You haven’t eaten, have you?”
“Nope.”
“That’s why I brought porridge.”
Sim Yu-jeong set the paper bag down on the table and stared at me intently.
What, why are you looking at me like that?
“…Anyway, thanks. I’m grateful, but…… why are you staring at me like that?”
“Do you look a bit better?”
“Mmm…… I feel a bit better after going to the Hospital.”
“Then that’s good.”
“Aren’t you busy?”
“Someone took all my work, so I’m not busy. Why?”
“Ahaha……”
So doing the Arrangement for our team’s performance counts as taking her work?
Still, that counts as her worrying about me. If she wasn’t worried, she wouldn’t have come all this way.
“But the Internet reaction was pretty good anyway. I get why you wanted to do it yourself, so I’ll let it go.”
“Huh? The reviews are already up?”
“Quite a few. I just looked casually, but there were a lot of posts saying you and Daylight both did well.”
“That’s going to set up a pretty fierce rivalry……”
“So which place did you get?”
“First.”
“All that hard work paid off, huh?”
“Yeah.”
After that, Sim Yu-jeong casually chatted about what she’d been up to while she waited for me to finish eating.
Both Kang Su-ah, who asked for me to be fed, and Sim Yu-jeong, who actually came here to do it, seemed to worry about me so much. Of course, I was grateful too.
***
A few days later, on the day of the first broadcast of For the CROWN.
[On Air]
– When does it start?
– But I heard one of the Pod Arc members got sick after the first competition and skipped the next schedule
└ She said she had a fever in the morning and went to the Hospital, and it was a regional schedule so she couldn’t go
└ Got it
– IS SHE JI-ON COMING?!!!!!
– I thought the Survival format was dead, but it’s interesting how everyone seems to care about this one
└ You’re the one who’s been watching it On Air
– It’s been ages since Bellier had a broadcast appearance, and doing a Survival show feels strange,, After going around on tours, all the domestic buzz dried up, which really sucks
– Let me know when Rain Kids comes on
– Has Ashcode posted their competition review yet?
└ Apparently everyone thought it was surprising
└ Surprising because they did so well
The community’s On Air section was quite lively with the long-awaited Survival program.
It probably helps that For the CROWN rode the wave of discussion and got good promotional coverage, and the word-of-mouth from the competition stages helped too.
People, especially K-pop fans, pay close attention to well-produced stages.
– It’s starting
– Oh, it’s starting
– Is that the teaser for the opening?
└ I think that’s right?
The broadcast itself was conventional. It opened with a teaser filmed with the Leaders (already released earlier), showed a preview of today’s episode, and then went into the main content.
[Q. But if you absolutely had to say something……]
[Daylight Han Jung-yeon: My friend Ji-on.]
[Evergreat Seo Ji-on: Han Jung-yeon.]
[Daylight Han Jung-yeon: The championship is ours, Daylight’s.]
[Evergreat Seo Ji-on: Wake up from that dream.]
[For the CROWN, starting now]
– I knew Daylight and Pod Arc were close, but I never imagined they’d trash-talk each other lol
– Seo Ji-on is actually Pod Arc’s hidden comedy ace, who expects the other person’s line on broadcast and counters it like that lol
└ The fact that it actually worked is the funniest part lol
– Honestly, the background music is doing the heavy lifting here
└ Right, if they’d put in serious music, it would be a battle of wits, not comedy
– Going dead serious one second and then suddenly comedic like what, stop making me laugh
Of course, the interview everyone was talking about was included in that short teaser too.
The only difference was that instead of the broadcast date, it said “starting now.”
[Quiet studio]
[???: Wait, are we number one?]
[???: We must be getting old……]
[???: We’ve aged. Everyone else here are our juniors……]
– Wait, are they ordered by Debut date?
└ Looks like it?
– Rain Kids is seriously a senior now,,, When they were skateboarding, they were really cute babies
└ Grandma, who even uses the word “cute babies” these days?
└ Hey, you bastard ㅠㅠ
The first to enter were Rain Kids, six years into their Debut.
After their awards and footage went by, the screen moved to Rain Kids’ pre-recorded interview.
[Q. What made you decide to participate in For the CROWN?]
[Rain Kids Hyun-ji: Lately, there are more rookie Idols doing well. And there are lots of popular Idols too.]
[Rain Kids Hyun-ji: I’ve been a radio DJ where a lot of Idols appear, and I suddenly felt like things couldn’t go on like this.]
[Rain Kids Hyun-ji: And right around that time……]
[Rain Kids Hyun-ji: I got a proposal to appear on For the CROWN.]
[Rain Kids, wanting to reach an even higher place as Idols]
[Rain Kids Se-na: Hyun-ji convinced us really hard.]
[Rain Kids Se-na: We already have seniority and fans, so we thought we could skip the Survival show without any problem.]
[Rain Kids Se-na: But everyone agreed that we felt like we were stagnating.]
[Rain Kids Young-eun: I think all our members felt the same way.]
[Rain Kids Young-eun: Hyun-ji felt that way too, and after she brought it up, we all started thinking that staying in one place wasn’t good.]
[Rain Kids Young-eun: So we decided to take the challenge.]
[Rain Kids Young-eun: We didn’t want to stagnate like this. And we had confidence we wouldn’t lose.]
– Wouldn’t Rain Kids be fine without a Survival show though? I guess I was being naive,,,
– Honestly, I was like why does Rain Kids need to do Survival, they’re at least second-tier even if they’re slipping, but if the members felt stagnant, then okay,,,
– Still, Survival shows are hard—you have to do well just to break even, so they’re all brave
– Six years in and re-contract’s right around the corner, so challenging for a comeback makes sense, Rain Kids had hits but they’re old news now
[Q. Is there a junior group you’re particularly looking forward to seeing?]
[Rain Kids Rai: Wow, we’re actually the most senior here, right?]
[Rain Kids Young-eun: Being called senior feels so strange.]
[Rain Kids Young-eun: Actually, I’m looking forward to all of them, and they’re all competitors.]
[Rain Kids Young-eun: For us, if we do poorly, it’s embarrassing.]
[Rain Kids Se-na: Do we really have to pick just one group?]
[PD: Multiple groups are fine too!]
[Rain Kids Se-na: Because I’m a dancer, groups that dance well catch my eye.]
[Rain Kids Se-na: Bellier, whose videos go viral lately.]
[Rain Kids Se-na: I saw their overseas performance footage and I’m really looking forward to them.]
[Rain Kids Hyun-ji: I worked as an Idol radio DJ doing a roundup show, and some people who were really new back then are appearing this time too.]
[Rain Kids Hyun-ji: What surprised me then was that for just one radio appearance, they prepared a medley of our songs and performed it there.]
[Rain Kids Hyun-ji: They were rookies, but I thought they were so cool, and then they swept all the Rookie Awards last year.]
[Rain Kids Hyun-ji: I’m really looking forward to them, and I’m wary of them too—I’d like to pick Evergreat.]
