The Malicious Member Returns! Episode 221

The bickering between Antae and the Wiz members continued for a while.

“So, if I listen to what you’re saying… it’s not like you did this to worry about other group members.”

“Hmm, it’s a bit different. I should say that I dragged my tired body here even after rehearsal to keep a promise with my friend.”

“This is also a member, really. I’m going crazy too… .”

Those who try to keep their promise with Kim Chun-yong at all costs VS those who want to quickly drag him to the waiting room because they don’t know what he might do.

“I told you a hundred times that there are no more vending machines, Antae. Are you going to make it so that you can’t walk on your own two feet?”

“Well, maybe we’re already late to where we were? Let’s go downstairs one more time… .”

“You really can’t do it. Hey, Ha-won and I will hold the arms. You hold the legs. We can lift it in three.”

“Hey guys? Excuse me, what about my doctor? Hey, wait a minute!”

“… Two, three!”

“Ah! I have a duty to see with my own eyes the touching conversation between Yuchan and Siwoo…!”

No matter how quiet the place is, this is in the middle of a broadcasting station hallway where year-end stage rehearsals and recordings are in full swing.

It was inevitable that the sight of the hottest rookie male idols these days, along with T.O.J., lifting up one of the members by grabbing his limbs, would catch the eye.

“Hmm? Jeong-eun. Look over there. Isn’t that… a wizard?”

“Oh my, that’s right. Are you filming a challenge? Oh my, you’re lifting up the member…?”

“Oh, that damn challenge. There are so many weird things these days. Short-form is really all the rage.”

Thanks to this, the broadcasting station staff, who were breathlessly going up and down the floors to inform the performers of the urgent notice,

“Ugh… .”

The absurd sight entered Kim Chun-yong’s eyes as he ran out of the waiting room and arrived in front of the vending machine.

“…What is he doing now?”

Unlike Ahn Tae-yi, who tired out the members by going around in front of all the vending machines right after the rehearsal, Kim Chun-yong, who arrived in front of the vending machines where his members were, couldn’t hide his bewildered expression even as he was out of breath.

I asked him to just check once to see if his members were getting along well.

“Hey guys, wait a minute, ugh… who pinched you over there?”

“Nobody pinched me. Don’t joke around and ask me to put it down.”

“…Danwoo hyung. I’m sorry. Actually, I pinched Tae hyung once because I hated him.”

“That could be… possible. I misunderstood.”

“Wait a minute, you’re apologizing to Eun-i instead of me? Dan-woo, that’s too much!”

It’s like being dragged around like a criminal with your limbs held by your own members.

“… Hey, wizards?”

“First, put An Tae-i in the waiting room, and… Kim Chun-yong?”

The first person to make eye contact with Kim Chun-yong, who was slowly approaching him, was Han Dan-woo. The guy quickly realized that he was looking at a rather unpleasant sight, and his face quickly turned red.

But what should I do?

“What is it, Danwoo? Chun-yong? Chun-yong? Oh, I can’t see it. Wait a minute… .”

“Hey, bro! Stop waving your arms around so carelessly!”

However, I can’t just put down Antaei who is struggling like this.

That’s why Han Dan-woo cleared his throat slightly and chose to pretend like nothing happened.

In the first place, Kim Chun-yong and Han Dan-woo were used to acting that way.

We used to be very close, but after a big fight we became distant friends, but that doesn’t mean we have any bad feelings anymore.

Although we exist as members of different groups, we don’t intend to act badly like when we were having bad feelings.

Thanks to the interests of these two people, the conversation between Han Dan-woo, who was carrying An Tae-i, and Kim Chun-yong, who was panting, began to flow smoothly.

“… You asked Antae for something, right? But instead of listening to your request, it seems like he’s just going to cause trouble here and there.”

“Oh, I was in a bit of a bad situation… I had no one to ask but Tae. I’m sorry.”

“No. I said no. Am I causing trouble? You guys. You really don’t trust me. I’m hurt.”

“Tae-yi, be quiet. Who on our team would trust you then? You need to reflect on your own behavior.”

“Seonho, this is too much. I just wanted to do Chunyoung a favor….”

“… Ahem.”

Only then did Kim Chun-yong realize what was going on, and he cleared his throat and rolled his eyes just like Han Dan-woo.

okay.

Kim Chun-yong sent a message to Ahn Tae-yi saying, “Can you go to the vending machine to check if Yoo-chan and Si-woo are getting along well?”

But, I didn’t add anything like [You have to go alone] to it.

…because it’s so obvious!

‘No, couldn’t he just go to the waiting room and then say he was going to the bathroom and come out? This guy really, really has the knack of going beyond people’s expectations… .’

Kim Chun-yong, who was shocked by this series of chaos, nodded his head and placed a hand on Han Dan-woo’s shoulder and whispered resolutely.

“… I’m really sorry. I didn’t expect this to happen either.”

“No, what. Is this your fault? … It’s just Antaei’s usual behavior.”

“Guys, can you hear me? You weren’t just whispering, you were talking to me so I could hear you all.”

After hearing the entire conversation between Kim Chun-yong and Han Dan-woo, Ahn Tae-yi immediately let out an “uh-uh” sound and relaxed his body, and his whining voice only got louder.

“Oh my. I was trying to do my best, but everyone just keeps talking to me. I can’t even find Yuchan and Siwoo. You guys are just too much, seriously!”

“Hey, that won’t work. I’ll put her in the waiting room for now and then I’ll come back.”

“Huh? Huh huh… .”

At that moment, the Wiz members, who were now tired of it, were carrying Antaei on their backs and heading to their waiting room.

“Han Dan-woo. Just a moment.”

“…uh?”

“I’ll talk to Tae-rang for a minute. It won’t be long. Ten seconds?”

“Well, okay.”

Kim Chun-yong hurriedly approached An Tae-i, whose limbs were caught, and whispered while holding his ear.

“… Antaei. What are you talking about? You couldn’t find Yoochan hyung and Siwoo?”

“Ugh, I searched through all the vending machines. It wasn’t there anywhere. This was the last one… .”

“Then, you haven’t seen those two at all? Not even their hair?”

“Yeah. No, but still. I tried so hard, Chun-yong. You can’t pretend it wasn’t a promise!”

Kim Chun-yong fell silent after seeing An Tae-i whining like a seven-year-old boy with a face as smooth as porcelain and a vending machine shining brightly green.

well.

The Wiz members were so focused on Antae that they couldn’t see it, and Antae seemed to be so distracted that he couldn’t see it… .

Kim Chun-yong, who had been running towards my members from far away with his radar turned on, definitely saw it.

Two pairs of walkers, the same type as the ones he was wearing, were secretly visible through the gap in the vending machine.

“… … .”

Kim Chun-yong, who briefly glanced at the small gap, soon whispered into An Tae-i’s ear and said the words that would calm him down the most at the moment.

“… Okay. You worked hard, Taeya. After the stage is over, wait in your waiting room. I already told my manager hyung. Let’s hang out together after we’re done today.”

For the guy who somehow managed to carry out the request he made, and for the Wiz members who had a hard time trying to stop him.

“… … !”

At that moment, Antaei’s eyes sparkled like a child who discovered a new toy, and the faces of the Wiz members were filled with confusion as if asking, “What is this?” thanks to Antaei suddenly assuming a comfortable position.

“Let’s go, let’s go, guys. Let’s go to the waiting room. Is it easier to listen now? Hmm, okay.”

“Huh? Huh huh… .”

No, it’s good that you suddenly started listening well.

… Should I be happy that it has become more comfortable to carry?

“Something, I don’t feel well….”

“Eun. Are you an idiot? I was in a bad mood from the beginning when I started chasing Tae-hyung.”

“Joeun, Jayden. Don’t fight while carrying Antae. Let’s just hurry up and go. We’re going to embarrass Queens…”

So, after the bustling Wiz crossed the hallway and headed to their waiting room.

Silence fell again in front of the vending machine.

A silence where only the voices of the broadcasting station staff and other idols rehearsing can be faintly heard from afar.

“… … .”

Kim Chun-yong rolled his eyes quietly, still looking at the shadows of two pairs of Walkers loitering behind the vending machine.

Kim Chun-yong doesn’t know why Bang Yu-chan and Jang Si-woo were hiding behind the vending machine.

I just assumed that the two of them were having some kind of conversation, and then Antae saw him coming and hid.

Kim Chun-yong doesn’t know what effect Ahn Tae-i’s careless remark had on the two of them.

When Kim Chun-yong arrived, Ahn Tae-yi was not unknowingly spraying gunpowder, but was whining while having his limbs held by the members.

Yeah. Those who come late don’t know anything.

…but.

“Yeah, right. I saw Yoochan hyung and Siwoo earlier….”

“… … .”

“Ahem, how long are you going to be there?”

“… … .”

“The Wiz members have also gone, and it will be our rehearsal time soon. Yoochan hyung and Siwoo too. They should all come out now.”

“… … .”

“Oh my. Just come out quickly, both of you.”

Kim Chun-yong knew something.

In the time that only I know, the expressions on the faces of the members that I have seen for a long time, whether they are good or bad.

“… … .”

The two people who cautiously emerged from behind the vending machine at Kim Chun-yong’s soft urging had their heads slightly bowed down with flushed expressions.

The sleeves of the jacket Jang Si-woo was wearing were wrinkled, as if he had been pulling on it the whole time, and Bang Yoo-chan’s hair, which he had styled, was disheveled.

Kim Chun-yong, who saw the appearance before the facial expression, briefly thought of the worst-case scenario: ‘Did they fight and throw punches?’

“… Oh my, really. I don’t know how difficult it was.”

“Chun, Chun-yong, hyung… .”

The small voices coming out of the two’s mouths were enough to put Kim Chun-yong’s worries to rest, saying, ‘We need to check if there are any witnesses who saw the two fighting.’

The fact that Bang Yoo-chan and Jang Si-woo didn’t rush to Kim Chun-yong to give him a piece of their mind right away explained their current situation.

‘Yoochan and Siwoo must have heard that I sent Taei. The fact that they’re just standing next to each other like this, scratching each other’s cheeks…’

Kim Chun-yong, who had finished making his decision, quickly grabbed each person’s arm and raised his voice.

“… Let’s go for now!”

“Huh, huh? Chunyong, what are you talking about all of a sudden?”

“We have to rehearse. I told you earlier, right? Time is almost up. Siwoo too. Hurry up!”

In times like this, you shouldn’t have given yourself time to think.

This was something Kim Chun-yong learned when he was going through a very difficult time.

Without even giving yourself time to think about the bad parts, you quickly move on to another chapter.

“Tomorrow is the due date, right? Rex, I’m not sure if you’re okay. The medicine is…”

“Um, I came home drunk yesterday and slept all day. I don’t think I’ll wake up today.”

“…Okay. Still, let’s all go to the charnel house together tomorrow. We couldn’t go last time.”

In Kim Chun-yong’s case, it was either alcohol or sleep, so it was actually worse for his mental health… .

Bang Yoo-chan and Jang Si-woo were a great outlet for the stage.

“You two, do you remember the performance of Logan Fair and me in ‘Hide and Seek’?”

“Huh? Yes… I, I remember.”

“Do you want to try that with Yoochan and Siwoo today?”

“No, all of a sudden?!”

Kim Chun-yong, who showed his fangs in a grin at the two people’s surprised reactions, looked the most refreshed he had seen in recent times.

“Logan and I also accidentally did the choreography back then, but what? Is it a bit different for Yoochan hyung and Siwoo?”

Kim Chun-yong, who had been tapping Jang Si-woo’s earphones and Bang Yu-chan’s ear mic, continued speaking slowly.

“Just try to improvise on stage. Since it’s a performance anyway, even if you make a mistake, people won’t know it’s a mistake.”

“Chun-yong, you. Normally, you would never say something like that….”

“Yes. I won’t.”

but,

Because today is special.

“―Tioje members! If everyone is here, let’s go up to the rehearsal! You can check out the ‘Hide and Seek’ performance stage and the ‘WoW’ stage together!”

As soon as Bang Yoo-chan, Jang Si-woo, and Kim Chun-yong arrived at the waiting room, the staff announced their rehearsal stage time.

After this, there were countless year-end stages waiting for them, and also, as Kim Chun-yong heard from Yoo Ho-bin earlier… .

“Shall we do a fighting cheer before we go up? One, two, three… .”

“Tioje, fighting!”

For now, it was okay.

This was because the solution to the problem that Kim Chun-yong had been most concerned about recently was imminent.
