The Malicious Member Returns! Episode 201

* * *

For the first time, I felt like I had properly climbed a very small mountain.

“Everyone, you worked really hard! You really, really deserve first place!”

Although not as much as when he debuted again through , it was similar to that.

“Ugh, ugh… Seriously, are we… .”

“Guys, you really worked hard. This is really something I’ve never even thought about… .”

“Holy, I can’t, I can’t believe it. Is this my song? Really…?”

“Party! Let’s go to the dorm and party! I think we can do it today!”

After winning first place, the waiting room that I returned to was filled with raised voices of excitement and joy, as well as tears.

I have never seen anything like this except when we won the Rookie of the Year award.

Back when we were Arrows, we had never been in first place.

“Yes! Let’s take a look at this week’s 10th place winners. 13th place is… Arrows, who have made a comeback with a powerful mini album!”

Even though it did quite well, it only maintained its ranking on the music charts.

So, this is a first not only for our members, but also for me.

“ha ha ha….”

My vision turned slightly white, and I was enveloped in a strange feeling of elation from head to toe. I couldn’t tell if I was walking on the ground or floating.

Suddenly, thoughts of the things that happened while I was preparing this repackaged album, the faces of my family, and everything I left behind came to mind.

ah….

I took back what I said about it not being like when I debuted.

None of that bluff worked.

Before I knew it, my face was getting wet.

“1st place, 1st place… .”

At that time, I was staggering, intoxicated by a feeling that was difficult to handle alone,

“Chunyong-ah.”

“…ah.”

“We need to take a picture of the first place trophy. We’ll upload it to SNS.”

I was able to come to my senses suddenly at the sound of Jaeha hyung’s voice gently grabbing my shoulder.

Yeah. Now is not the time.

It wasn’t like we had a vacation right after our debut, we were still active.

That means there’s no time to get drunk on this feeling right now.

Once we left this waiting room, we had to move on to our next schedule, and after today, we had to prepare for the next music show, and after finishing our activities by next week, we had to practice for the year-end music festival.

And that’s not all?

The reasons why I wanted to take first place.

[Kim Na-ri: Is Kim Chun-yong really in first place?? Please congratulate Si-woo and tell him that you worked really hard and that you will continue to support him in the future]

[Mom: Son, I watched the broadcast with Dad]

[Mom: You worked hard, son]

[Mom: You’ll have to come home after work, okay?]

[Bomi Noona: (missed call)]

I do what I can for my family… .

“Ah, Yongyong hyung! Come quickly. If I wait for you, my legs will cramp up.”

“Uh, uh, I’ll go. I’m sorry.”

“Yes, Chun-yong. I don’t know how many minutes Hwa-sung has been waiting in that strange pose.”

“Oh, it’s not that weird. Mars, can I join you?”

“Come on. Logan on the right, I’m on the left. Okay, one, two…”

“Guys, you’re doing something weird….”

“Oh, guys. Let’s really take pictures now! Hobin hyung is waiting!”

At the same time, I apologize to all those who are sorry.

“I’ll take a picture. Everyone, smile!”

In that case, there is absolutely no time to stop.

Dear Xenia, this is Tiozae!

I was able to gain strength thanks to the love that Xenia gave me since my debut, the release of my debut album, and the release of the repackaged album.

I think this award was also given to us by Xenia.

Thank you, our most valuable partner.

[I will do my best for Xenia in the remaining activities as well!]

[⎿Hello, Xenia. This is Jaeha. We talked among the members, and we thought it would be good if we each added something to the post. From until now, we’ve received so much love. There’s so much I want to say, and so many emotions I’ve held back, but… (Read more)]

[⎿Hello, hello, hello Xenia!! This is Tioje’s cutie Mars ( ˆoˆ )/

The first award given by Xenia! What does this really mean to us… .]

[… … .]

[⎿Xenia! Bomchun Yongyong. It’s Chun Yong. 1st place is something I’ve dreamed of for a long time, but never imagined… I don’t know what to say to receive it like this! Thank you. Thank you so much.

From survival to now, thanks for cheering me on and being by my side through all that has happened!

Really, thank you all.

I won’t stop.

I will work harder.

i love you!]

So, I was the last of the members to upload a SNS post, and buried the elation I felt about winning first place in a corner of my heart.

I hope to open it someday, when I’m a little less busy.

At that time, I hope to be able to share this feeling more fully with the people around me.

“… … .”

I quietly watched as hearts and reposts appeared on my post on Hobin’s phone, and then I quickly relayed them back to him.

“Hey, do you want to go to the van first? I’ll just look for something and come right over.”

“Yes? Did you lose something?”

“Uh… But I think I know where it is. It shouldn’t take long.”

“Oh, yes. There’s still some time until the next schedule, so you can come slowly. Besides, Yoochan and Siwoo said they were going to the store for a bit.”

“Ah… yes. Thank you!”

I gave Hobin a friendly smile and slowly walked towards the mirror in the waiting room.

My cell phone is always tucked away between tables, out of sight, in case someone looks at the message in advance.

There, there was what I called ‘the thing to find’.

One guy I would lightly bicker with, have some serious conversations with, and just kind of neglect.

[“X.” < 87 messages]

My atonement partner.

“Message 87… .”

I clicked my tongue for a moment at the flood of messages from X, then marked them all as 'read' and sent a short reply.

– Kim Chun-yong: Hey

– Kim Chun-yong: Hey X

– Kim Chun-yong: I got first place just like you said? I didn't even get any help from you?

It's kind of funny when I think back to why X was upset and why he fought with Kim Chun-yong.

In the end, he said that it was because he was having a good time with the members and didn't contact them often.

Well, after that, I heard information about 'the other guys' from X, and there were some parts that became ambiguous because I was more sensitive than I thought.

That was definitely the starting point.

“Wow… .”

I carefully re-read the part that I sent at the end, 'You didn't even get my help?' and added a word belatedly.

– Kim Chun-yong: Well, to be honest,

– Kim Chun-yong: It's true that I did well on stage, but

– Kim Chun-yong: It's true that I was able to solve the things that happened in between with your help.

– Kim Chun-yong: Like drawing aggro from senior Joo-young with the 'Overlap' skill, or getting more attention on stage with the 'Idol Aura', etc.

– Kim Chun-yong: Well… So the conclusion is

– Kim Chun-yong: Thank you?

– Kim Chun-yong: It's all thanks to you.

This was a kind of reconciliation request I had never made to X before.

You always ignore me, whine, nag, and talk nonsense, which only causes me more worries and problems… .

– X: Do you remember? You were so angry that you thought you'd fall? Haha

– X: Because I really liked you

– X: I hope you debut and take the next steps smoothly!

Anyway, I don't think this childish guy would have been talking nonsense.

If I had to decide on the next step after debuting, it would probably be winning first place on a music show.

Well, after I actually won first place, I thought of this kid.

[X is typing a message…]

Standing in the empty waiting room, I waited quietly for a moment for a reply from X.

There was no great reason for not going to Ben and exchanging messages.

“No, you usually reply as fast as a knife, but why are you so slow today, this is…”

It was uncomfortable to have a conversation while hiding things here and there, and I could have talked to myself so openly like this.

But it shouldn't have been that way.

– X: Hey you're fucked

– X: No? We're screwed.

– X: What should I do? I'm sorry.

– X: I guess I told you too soon that there were other guys.

– X: F**k we're screwed!!

“…What are you saying?”

If it weren't for my judgment, I would have seen X's passionate message saying 'We're done with X' a little later…

“Oh, thank goodness. He hasn’t left yet.”

Because I might not have met that man who came to our waiting room so late.

“Huh… What is this…?”

I noticed someone in front of our waiting room door and unconsciously took a step back, trailing off.

That makes sense, because someone came without a clue as to why he came.

last week.

A senior who shared all sorts of stories in front of the store on the 4th basement floor of Music Music Days Live Hall.

This is the person who made people say, "Korean male idols are still Sladex" with this album.

“Senior Yeonwoo. How did you end up here…?”

Brother Yeonwoo.

“What do you mean, ‘by chance?’ Of course it had to come.”

Yeonwoo, wearing a black hanbok that was designed to be longer today, walked into the waiting room without hesitation, the hem of his uniform fluttering in the wind.

“I wanted to congratulate you on getting first place. But, since it was our last broadcast, we had a lot to talk about, so I thought it was too late….”

“… … .”

“Fortunately, Mr. Chun-Yong is still here. Is it fate?”

“… How could that be?”

I still pretended to be calm as I shoved my phone, which was still frantically sending me messages like [Wow, what the heck, where should I start explaining this? It’s just this fucking crap…], back into my pocket.

“Haha, if it’s a congratulatory message, you could have just sent it as a message. If it’s a message from you, I check it regularly.”

“Well, but the first place is really special. And, I don’t think you saw my message? Jooyoung’s phone says it’s been read.”

"…sorry."

After a long time, I came to our waiting room and stared at Yeonwoo hyung, who was talking nonsense to me.

You came to congratulate me on winning first place?

In that case, it was clear that they would have sent Senior Jooyoung instead of Hyung Yeonwoo.

When Senior Joo-Young comes to our waiting room, Hwa-Sung and I will look at Logan's face and recall what happened back then, and learn another lesson.

But, coming in person means… .

“…Do you have anything else to say?”

That there is another ulterior motive.

"oh…."

At my words, Yeonwoo raised his eyebrows for a moment, then nodded with a soft smile on his face again.

“I don’t know how you knew, but yes, that’s right.”

“You want to talk to me, not someone else?”

“That’s right. You know, I liked Mr. Chun-yong. I told you he was fun.”

“…What brought you here?”

At my words, which were both nonsense and clearly wary, Yeonwoo Hyung stroked his chin with his long, white fingers and slowly opened his mouth.

and.

“… There’s something that starts right after the year-end music festival.”

“What’s going on?”

“Yes. Work. And, I want to do it with Mr. Chun-Yong.”

Things I didn't expect started to happen little by little.
