The Malicious Member Returns! Episode 166

As Son Jae-ha entered the dormitory entrance earlier than expected, the members who were talking about what happened that day naturally turned their attention to him.

“Huh? Jae-ha hyung, why did you come home so early? And Chun-yong hyung?”

“Hey, Logan must have been spending too much time today. Jaeha hyung is showing us with his actions that he didn’t have time to waste!”

“I spent… almost… three hours… alone. You’re going too far… I considered everything, up until the time you came…”

“What? No! I said I didn’t do it on purpose, well. Listen. Hwaseong, Siwoo. I’m not Chun-yong hyung, but even if I went out with Hwaseong, I’m sure…”

“Jae-ha, what happened with Chun-yong? You said you were going to keep it a secret from us. Why are you coming in so soon?”

“haha….”

Son Jae-ha covered his mouth with his hand and burst into laughter at the words pouring out towards him.

The eyes of the four Tiozes, who were neither sitting on the sofa nor on the floor, were filled with curiosity.

Although they don’t show it, the five men here have been racking their brains to cheer up the listless members.

Son Jae-ha looked at those with whom he had come to share a special bond, and thought about each and every thing they had done.

‘Going to karaoke, playing games together, eating sweet snacks, telling each other what you like best…’

In fact, during busy promotional periods, there is no time to check on each member’s condition.

Even though we know to some extent, we have to pretend not to see it and let it pass by saying that we are all having a hard time so let’s just endure it for a little longer.

That was the fate of those who chose this idol profession because they liked it.

Can’t sleep at night, waiting in the waiting room or getting your makeup done?

“Oh, Mr. Yuchan. Don’t tilt your head back…! If you do, the spray will all go into your mouth!”

“Ouch, oh, oh. Sorry! I blinked, haha… .”

The other members were similar.

Compulsively checking your phone and being self-conscious about your attitude?

“Oh, Mr. Jaeha. Are you checking our repackage schedule? I don’t think I sent you a separate file. How…?”

“Ah. I wanted to know in advance how it would work, so I asked the company staff for a favor.”

“I don’t think it’s too much… but still, if you need it in the future, I’ll send it to you separately. It’ll be more convenient that way.”

“Um, yes. Don’t worry.”

In fact, it’s not that Son Jae-ha doesn’t show it these days, but his fatigue is more than Kim Chun-yong’s, not less.

So, this attitude of the members could be seen as a bit unusual.

From the beginning, Kim Chun-yong was a bit embarrassed that such things were planned for him, and he was just playing around to cheer himself up, because it was just another source of fatigue.

It was like that no matter how much help I received.

Even though I wished that the member who had a good influence on me would cheer up, it was like that.

There was no need to spend all that hard-earned vacation time just for one member.

however.

Nevertheless, the reason why Son Jae-ha and the other members planned this with the sole thought of ‘I hope Kim Chun-yong cheers up a bit’.

“I’m not doing it for my brother, I’m doing it because I want to.”

“… … .”

“So, you don’t have to feel burdened. I, and the other members, can do whatever they want. Why should you feel burdened? You can just say, “What are we going to do about these troublemakers?” and put your head on your chin.”

Sometimes, I wonder why some memories stay in people’s minds for so long, making them do things they don’t need to do.

Moreover, Kim Chun-yong’s actions derived from there made it impossible for the members to remain still.

“Hyung Yoochan, would you like to change your hair and makeup times to fixed from now on? Then… I think I could sleep for 30 minutes more.”

“Huh? No! You seem tired these days too, so there’s no need to do that….”

“Oh, I sleep in the van. And personally, I find it more comfortable to get my makeup done beforehand and then go into the van to sleep.”

“… If that’s the case.”

“Oh, then Yoochan hyung is right before Jaeha hyung’s turn, so please pass this file on to him. I think hyung is checking the repackage schedule these days. I was looking at that too.”

“Oh, really? I see. Wow, Jae-ha and you see all this stuff, really… .”

“Haha, I guess that’s because it’s necessary.”

Oh, so that’s it.

In the end, this is what happened.

Whether it was because of Kim Chun-yong’s guilt over his life as a malicious member, or because of a goodness he was unaware of.

Because the members only saw one thing.

“… Hmm.”

As various memories flashed through his head, Son Jae-ha, who had been standing blankly in front of the entrance, quickly took off the shoes that were covering his feet and stepped into the living room.

Earlier, it was to answer the members’ questions about why I came back so quickly.

And also, to make sure that I did it right.

Son Jae-ha, who patted each member on the shoulder, opened his mouth in a voice that wasn’t too heavy.

“Everyone has hobbies and things they want to do… but I just can’t think of anything. I set out to do something, but nothing came to mind.”

“So… Hyung Chun-yong, do you have any free time?”

“Yeah, similar.”

Son Jae-ha responded affectionately to Jang Si-woo’s bewildered voice, then walked toward the window of the living room.

“… Each of you did what you thought was best, right?”

“Oh, right. Jaeha hyung said what I wanted to say. So, if you think about it, I got the sweetness of sleep and the coolness of guitar from Chun-yong hyung…”

“No way, Logan, put your hands up. I’ll show you a taste of Korean-style corporal punishment. Why are people so shameless, seriously!”

“Holy! This is not a Korean thing, it is universal, Hwaseong!”

“haha….”

As Son Jae-ha stood in front of the living room window with a light laugh, Bang Yu-chan approached him and spoke in a low, muffled voice.

“… So, Jaeha. What did you do? I don’t think you would have done something ordinary. … Did you introduce someone else to him? Otherwise, Chun-yong wouldn’t have been left alone.”

Even though he’s not a leader, he’s the eldest brother.

Or perhaps it’s the interpersonal skills gained from meeting many people outside of the entertainment industry.

Unlike his younger brother who was busy grumbling, Son Jae-ha put his hand on Bang Yoo-chan’s shoulder and pulled him closer to him when asked a question that got to the heart of the matter.

As if the red-haired member of T.O.J. who is the most shameless about skinship does it.

“Yes. That’s right, Yoochan hyung. I introduced you to someone. I contacted you in a hurry, so I wasn’t sure if it would work out… but they said it would.”

“… Hey, are you guys at the playground? Are you, like, women? Aren’t you hitting them?!”

“Um, bro. Don’t worry.”

Son Jae-ha, who was taking in the sight of the small playground beyond the living room window, slowly opened his mouth with a relaxed expression on his face.

“… It turned out to be pretty good, contrary to what I expected.”

Son Jae-ha’s thoughts were not wrong.

“Ouch! Ah! It hurts, it hurts!”

“Are you kidding me? I don’t think it was like this at home.”

In fact, as the two of them were watching, Kim Chun-yong was getting hit in the back by each of the two women… .

“Oh my, it’s because you lost weight. If you had gained more weight, you wouldn’t have said such things!”

“Ahhak, if you know that, stop it!”

Because I was laughing out loud somewhere they couldn’t see.

* * *

The conversation between the three siblings, which started on the swing under the playground, continued until just before the orange-tinged sun set and the streetlights came on.

Sitting peacefully on the three swings, we chatted about our recent events.

“… So, you’re saying that after wrapping up ‘Hide and Seek’ promotions next week, you’re going to prepare for the repackage? But, wait. What exactly is a repackage? I’ve been confused about this the whole time I’ve been buying them.”

“Ah, the songs on the album are mostly similar, but they change the package by adding one or two songs. These days, everyone tends to extend their activity cycle like that…”

“Wow, the sales pitch is crazy… Somehow, our Gaon originally had a full 4-week promotion, but this time they said they’ll only be promoting for 3 weeks!”

“Ah, crazy. I expected it, but I never thought I’d hear about the end of ‘Hide and Seek’ activities from Kim Chun-yong’s own mouth… Our Siwoo Boy Scout uniform will be ending soon! No!”

“Hey. Your brother wore that too.”

The voices that followed were all different in pitch, but somehow they sounded similar, as if to show that they were siblings.

“What does it matter what Kim Chun-yong wears? Oppa, do you care that I wear a school uniform?”

“Kim Na-ri, you really… I got my paycheck and now I don’t have any allowance.”

“Wow. Foul play, foul play. Where is that? Even if I get that kind of allowance, I’ll buy all of T.O.J’s albums. Because of Siwoo!”

“Hey, little brother. Don’t think about spending money and stuff. Give some to Mom and Dad and save some. What do you mean, you don’t have anything in your pocket yet?”

“Hey, even that older sister still likes receiving allowance from her mom and dad.”

“this?”

Persecute and be persecuted.

Feed the deal and get hit hard.

“haha….”

Kim Chun-yong, who lightly kicked the ground and made the swing he was sitting on swing back and forth, let out a refreshing laugh, not the worried laugh he had been letting out for the past few days.

It wasn’t as heartbreaking as the affectionate siblings in some novel, but this was enough for Kim Chun-yong.

Still, I knew that there was love underlying it.

Even though I added, “Your handsome leader contacted me, so I came out,” my older sister came out with both hands full of medicine and side dishes, and my younger brother followed me out without even changing into his school uniform.

… how much I missed this.

Kim Chun-yong, who had been staring at them for a moment, muttered in a voice as nonchalant as possible.

“You two have a lot of time? You’ve been sitting here for a long time. What’s fun about three siblings getting together and talking?”

If you had eyes, you couldn’t not know.

That means they’ll soon have to go back to their daily lives.

Because Kim Bo-mi’s cell phone, which often rang, and Kim Na-ri’s heavy school bag swayed along with the swing.

In Kim Chun-yong’s honest heart, he wanted to tell him to stay a little longer and then leave.

but….

“Uh. I should probably… go now. I came here to ask you to supervise the night study session for the first period. On the way there, please give Kim Na-ri a ride to her academy.”

“Ugh, I’m busy… .”

“You don’t know? I took the time to come here. Tell your leader hyung thank you.”

“Next time I see you, give me Siwoo’s autograph. Ah, I should have gotten it earlier and told him to come down…”

“Hey, I like Gaon’s album!”

“Oh, okay, okay.”

I had to send them off with regret to protect their daily lives and make every day better.

“Be careful on the way in. Don’t look at your phone while driving.”

“Hey, you do your best.”

“Brother. Please tell Siwoo that I love him. Be well!”

Kim Chun-yong slowly blinked his eyes as he watched the shadows of his two sisters being lengthened by the streetlight.

“… … .”

The slightly faded red hair pouring down before her eyes was a sign that quite some time had passed since her debut.

Kim Chun-yong didn’t have time to look back on what he had done.

There was no way to check what other people were thinking.

Because I was busy.

I just thought this was something I had to do, because I was busy taking care of the other things that were ahead of me.

But today.

To be exact, it’s a one-day vacation that started last night.

There, you can spend time with people you consider important… .

Kim Chun-yong could think that maybe he had run quite well.

Should we say that this is the moment when the unexpected T.O.J. member dragon raid ends successfully?

“…after.”

Anyway.

Thanks to that, the breath coming out of my mouth was light.

My head was clearer than ever.

The vacation that the members of T.O.J. prepared for Kim Chun-yong gave him more courage and determination.

– X: Hey, Kim Chun-yong Yong-guri, this won’t work? You’re just leaving me behind?

– X: Hey, this is difficult ;; Remember how we communicate

– X: I tried my best to accommodate you – –

– X: You really can’t do it, Inma

– X: I have to give you a special mission that doubles as a punishment.

– X: I misunderstand this (angry) (angry)

“Ha, really… .”

So that when I returned to my accommodation and encountered X’s message again, I could smile with a determined face.

If you stop for a moment at a stop called Refresh, it is basic to prepare to run again.

Kim Chun-yong, who had been attacked once based on affection, was ready to run properly again.
