The malicious member is back! Episode 129

Once the system was really established, time passed so quickly that I didn’t even have to blink.

There are only three days left until the debut showcase, and in the meantime, my family, who had never asked much about my daily life, is asking about my fate.

[Kim Bomi: Hey little brother]

[Kim Bomi: Are you alive?]

[Kim Bomi: Have you seen the teaser and all that? But it’s not you, it’s some kind of AI Kim Chun-yong. There’s no way my younger brother would do that.]

[Kim Bomi: Please report your survival, because mom and dad are worried that your brain and shell will be uploaded to the Internet and a fake Kim Chun-yong will be walking around]

“haha… .”

So, it was only natural that I would burst into laughter at the text message I received just after getting out of the shower.

okay. These days, I haven’t been able to contact my family because I’ve been busy thinking about the members and dealing with the immediate issues I’m facing.

… It’s one of the biggest reasons why I came back like this.

I rubbed my sagging cheek a few times and carefully typed a message to my sister on the phone.

With gratitude, longing, love, and affection.

[Kim Chun-yong: That’s not AI, that’s me, the real me]

[Kim Chun-yong: I haven’t seen you in a long time so I forgot. If you look closely, it’s me]

[Kim Chun-yong: And cursing my face is cursing my father, sister, and me, so think carefully before you speak.]

[Kim Chun-yong: He looks just like me]

[Kim Chun-yong: ㅗㅗ]

[Kim Bomi: Have you finally turned around? Do you want to search?]

As usual.

“after… .”

I received a torrent of harsh text messages from my sister, but feeling the affection contained within the harshness, I roughly threw down my phone and hit my face on the pillow.

[AG’s new male idol ‘ToZ’ from the idol survival program is aiming for this fall’s charts]

[ToZ music video teaser video becomes a hot topic… “Moon Yun-ha did it again”]

[‘Wiz vs ToZ’ What are the two-way battle between new male idols? “For now, ToZ”]

The schedule, which was now in its final stages, was extremely easy.

Meanwhile, the music video preview, in which all members showed their faces, has already surpassed the mood sampler’s number of views, and the article’s response was also good thanks to the strong push from AG’s PR team.

Incompetent people have either retreated to the background or been kicked out, and only those who are passionate about this work remain… If it is obvious, it may be obvious.

of course.

“Now the music video and track video will be released on the day of the showcase. Only the album release remains. Thank you all for your hard work.”

“yes!”

“Okay then, there is something to do from now on.”

“… to?”

“What?” Let’s all take care of ourselves. This is where it really begins. I have to go on stage, huh? It’s okay to be a bit lacking as a trainee. But not when you’re an idol. I understand?”

Although bloody tears were shed in the process.

“Ji Hwaseong and Logan should go to the dermatologist. It’s good that he’s still young, but he’s clearly tired. It was all caught on broadcast cameras. “He shouldn’t have even a pimple.”

“Holy… .”

“Jaeha and Siwoo are going together too. I’m going to check it. At the end, I wonder if I applied the cream properly or not. “If you don’t keep your promise, I won’t leave you alone.”

“Ugh, yes… .”

“And Bang Yu-chan and Kim Chun-yong. These two really need to live well together, right? I know that just the two of you have loose-fitting clothes. “Then what should I do?”

“hmm… Diet, diet management… ?”

“okay. Yoo-chan has a good sense of humor. Let’s eat some chicken breast and brown rice for the remaining time. huh?”

In addition to the management of appearance under the leadership of Director Yoonha Moon, who believes that ‘an idol must look perfect when standing on stage’…

“Chunyong… Seed.”

“Huh, okay?”

“It feels good right now… This is when our crew posted a cover video… Appeared as a guest member… a little.”

“Hey, Teacher Dasol! “Stop being selfish, please!”

Practice, practice, practice!

“Wow… .”

Is it because of the hard times that suddenly came to mind?

I roughly ripped my hair and let out a pain-filled moan.

Seeing clearly exposed muscles makes me feel good, but that doesn’t mean I’m not hungry.

“… Chunyong. “Are you okay?”

“yes? Oh, it’s okay, then.”

“… You and Yoo-chan even took care of your diet. “It looks like it’s going to be very difficult.”

“We’re all trying to debut, but… .”

Jaeha’s face was shining thanks to his visit to the dermatologist, but his strangely slow movements clearly showed that he was having a hard time.

The members and I are having a hard time in one way or another.

That was the time when I closed my eyes from a feeling of helplessness.

A message suddenly arrived on the smart watch I had placed on the nightstand.

[Jeong Yeon-woo: It’s about to be a showcase ^^]

“… what.”

In response to the message in my smart watch that I had neglected throughout the preparation period for my debut, I had no choice but to speak out more insincerely than ever.

It was quite surprising that an idol with as much experience as Yeonwoo would not forget to contact someone who was not in the same agency as him.

The one who had anything resembling memories between us was me, not Yeonwoo, and to him, I was a trainee he met on a survival program.

[Jeong Yeonwoo: Have you become close with the members?]

[Jeong Yeonwoo: I’m close with the members ^^]

And, as soon as the read mark appeared, the message that arrived next was even more surprising.

“her… .”

No, it’s more absurd than surprising.

Have you become friends with the members now?

All in one, including survival?

As someone who always knows everything to himself and likes to tease others with words that only he understands, it was not easy to understand the context of what he said.

“… Rex, are you not going into the dorm today again?”

“Well, I’m going to go anyway. It doesn’t matter if you don’t go in. You won’t even care? “I don’t have a schedule anyway.”

“well. “I think that’s what you think.”

“yes?”

“We live together, so we should get along well. uh? I also get along well with the kids, haha… .”

“Isn’t that just a beating?”

I said something similar before, but it didn’t exactly fit the current situation.

Seeing you suddenly send a message like this, it seems like you have an inkling of something else.

As I put the smart watch on my hand, I thought about the message Yeonwoo sent me.

The members and I.

now… Aren’t we close?

No, whatever.

“Chunyong. Can you tell me the choreography one more time? “It’s a bit weird to ask Teacher Dasol!”

“Oh, of course. “Where is it difficult?”

“Well, it’s hard to explain it clearly. Let’s have a drink and do it again… .”

“You have to do it quickly while your body still remembers. Let’s start with this and then drink!”

“Huh? uh… .”

Yoo-chan, he has been treating me very comfortably as if it was a given since the survival days.

“God, Chunyong. I woke up really early today too… .”

“uh. I can’t sleep well these days. “I also turned off your notifications in advance.”

“What? “Ho, was Chunyong the one who turned off my notifications every day until now?”

“uh… Except you accidentally turned it off in your sleep, I guess?”

“Holy, I really thought there was a ghost in the dorm until now! oh my god… .”

Not to mention Logan.

“Hey, Chunyong… brother. Bar, have you eaten?”

“uh? Siwoo why? “But I’m hungry?”

“That too, but… .”

“Oh, sit down. Even so, Hwaseong said he was hungry. We can eat together. I’ll prepare it for you. I can’t eat it. know? “Because of diet management.”

“… yes.”

Siwoo is the type of person that you need to take some time to watch, so it’s okay if he seems a little shy.

“Ugh, it’s hard… .”

Jaeha and Hwaseong, who are both lying on the bed just like me, have talked a lot while bumping into each other before… .

Are you feeling alright now?

There is absolutely no reason for this guy to send such a random message?

However, I had to quickly realize something at this point.

The reason why Yeonwoo sent such a message ahead of Tiose’s debut showcase.

This is what it means when the leader who debuted first and leads the members of a multi-member group said, ‘Be friendly with the members.’

Exactly.

“Is everyone sleeping?”

I wish I had known before Hobin came to my dorm late at night.

* * *

Hobin, who was holding convenience store bags in both hands, had a very solemn expression.

Our members, who greeted my brother with a stern look, looked bewildered.

“You might have been surprised that he suddenly came to visit me after saying he was leaving work, but I had something to tell you, so I came back to visit the dorm.”

“hmm… Are there any changes to your schedule? I need to leave now, or something like that… .”

“No, no. The showcase is in 3 days, and T.O.Je will have to work hard without any time to rest. Until then, I don’t have any special schedules. “Maybe it’s a rehearsal.”

That was right.

After the showcase, we were going to be extremely busy with full-scale album promotions, entertainment appearances to promote ourselves, fan signing events, and preparation for the repackage album.

It was as if the busyness so far had been a preliminary battle.

“Ugh, I guess I need to stock up on stamina.”

“So I was planning to sleep in until tomorrow! When you wake up, do you want to play a game with Logan?”

“me too… “I tried to sleep a lot.”

“I understand. therefore… ”

As the members, including me, each said a word and nodded quietly, Hobin hyung slammed the convenience store bags in both hands on the table and said with a solemn expression.

“―Let’s play today.”

what?

Is today going to be a series of absurdities?

Our somewhat puzzled expressions seemed to have nothing to do with it, as Hobin remained determined.

“If you don’t play with each other now, you really won’t have time to play. After all, you probably didn’t have time to solve the problem together because of survival… We have to do it now. Even for those who are managing their diet, let’s call it a cheat day.”

It wasn’t a completely unreasonable statement.

Even though we had time to get to know each other, it was mostly in front of the camera, and the number of times we all got together and talked was just a handful.

That’s why I can roughly understand Hobin’s intention of saying, ‘I need to let the kids talk to each other before we get really busy and can’t have a proper conversation.’

But now?

No, it’s really hard for us, isn’t it?

“Huh… .”

I stuck out my tongue as I gently pushed down a bag full of beer and soju.

I brought soda, cola, and other soft drinks for the underage kids, but drinking next to them was a different story.

The days of Reck Trash are still vivid in my mind, and you want me to drink?

I said it wouldn’t work, well.

“Hey, Hobin. My heart is grateful. We’re really tired right now, and the adult members don’t really drink alcohol… .”

That moment when I try to say no flexibly and politely.

“… … .”

The members’ eyes were focused directly on me.

Just a little while ago, people’s faces were shining because they went to the dermatologist, but people who looked like they were dying of exhaustion suddenly had a glow in their eyes.

… Why are these people like this?

At that time, I rolled my eyes out of a strange sense of discomfort.

Yoo-chan was the first to speak.

“―No, Chunyong. Your brother went to college again, right? uh. I don’t like drinking alcohol. I didn’t drink it because I was outside. My brother did that after hearing that he was a master of silk and somaek. Although it was once. It’s good to play. “I think it’s good.”

“uh? that… “Do you want to?”

“Well, that’s right. so do i. In the meantime, I just couldn’t find a reason to drink it… “It’s different now.”

“Wow, will we finally be able to see Chunyong get drunk today? No, I don’t think he’ll be broken!”

“I haven’t seen it once… Chunyong hyung is disheveled… .”

“Okay. The time has finally come. I can’t drink it, but I can get some assistance, right? Please leave it to me. “It’s completely possible, it’s a huge hit.”

The expressions on the members’ faces as they said that showed a strange sense of purpose.

So, should I say that they were like party members just before a boss mob raid?

wait for a sec. So, in the current situation, the boss mob is… .

“… ah?”

Sounds like me.

Suddenly, goosebumps rose from the bottom of my feet to my head and I had to shake.

… This is what Yeonwoo said!

Yes, I am currently in a situation where I know the members one-sidedly.

So, the members may be having more trouble with me than I thought and may want to get to know me.

“… Ugh.”

A siren wailed in my head.

I knew better than anyone else what my injections were like and how I drank.

“I would rather die than live like this! “I’m going to die!”

“Hey, calm down… .”

“What, do I know? Ouch, wait a minute. Then, give me an envelope… .”

Drink, vomit. Talking nonsense and saying all sorts of things.

In order not to follow in the footsteps of Reck trash, I have decided to never drink again this time.

“First, shall we go to the living room? Let’s spread it out and play together!”

“great. I’ll get ready… .”

“Logan, Siwoo. Let’s take out the card. And the camera too. “Take a picture of Yongyong!”

How do I convince the members who are determined to see me break down before my debut?
