The Malicious Member Returns! Episode 232

* * *

Since Kim Chun-yong returned, it wasn’t just him that had changed.

People around him also began to act in ways they had never done before because of his influence, and in some cases, they even reset their own minds.

therefore….

[Ji Hwa Sung: Logan, look at Logan.

Ji Hwa Sung: I overheard Hobin hyung talking on the phone yesterday.

Ji Hwa-seong: This time, there is a KPCA official list, right?

Ji Hwa Sung: I heard you’re giving those two to Yong Yong’s older sister and younger brother??

Ji Hwa Sung: But I think you forgot Yong Yong hyung ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

Ji Hwa Sung: Should we give a surprise to both Hobin and Yongyong?

Ji Hwa Sung: Before either of us were ready, we had a tearful reunion that was just a half beat faster!]

Ji Hwa-seong, who was hit with a hammer of self-consciousness early on through the ‘Aiming’ stage in , and then successfully resolved a small trouble with Son Jae-ha thanks to Kim Chun-yong.

[Rogan Lee: Really? Oh, I’ve seen that Chun-yong hyung’s older sister lol

Rogan Lee: I like Surprise too. I like that.

Rogan Lee: But I don’t understand it one bit.

Ji Hwa Sung: What don’t you understand?

Rogan Lee: What does ㄱ < mean? (tears)(tears)

Earth: Ao]

And, if it weren't for Kim Chun-yong, Logan, who would have been destined to return to Liverpool without even being able to gamble, could be said to belong to the latter.

There were quite a few people who went through such changes, but these two in particular were particularly so.

[Rogan Lee: But when did Mars hear that again? What a Guesser

Ji Hwa Sung: I followed Hobin hyung who was pretending to go to the bathroom to do something.

Ji Hwa Sung: That call was with your older sister.

Jihwaseong: This is the first win of looking around well, Logan.

Rogan Lee: Oh wow

Rogan Lee: Let's do a Good Surprise]

Ji Hwa-seong, who was already quick to grasp situations and had a keen eye, acquired 'experience' through various incidents, and Logan was able to enjoy freedom by breaking free from the oppressive atmosphere of his home.

Is that all?

The two also changed more because of each other's presence.

[Ji Hwa Sung: Because I made you do something fun

Ji Hwa Sung: Today, when I go to my dorm, I'll do something other than card games.

Jihwaseong: RoR okay?

Rogan Lee: Mars is fucking terrible

Ji Hwa Sung: No, I don't understand < Where did you learn that you can't do a dog?

Rogan Lee: To Mars 😉

Ji Hwa Sung: Please don't go around saying things like that.]

Ah, if you live with a friend of the same age, you can forget about the hardships and have more fun.

Anyway.

[Ji Hwa Seong: Anyway, I think Yong Yong hyung has been a bit depressed lately.

Ji Hwa Sung: I saw what seniors Jeong Yeon Woo and Joo Young did before.

Ji Hwa Sung: I think it's because there's a lot to think about?

Ji Hwa Sung: No, how shocking it must have been

Ji Hwa Sung: It’s been almost a month and I’m still thinking about it…

Rogan Lee: God, that makes sense.

Rogan Lee: At that time, only Chun-yong was left and we talked separately.

Rogan Lee: We may have been subjected to threats that we didn't know about.

Rogan Lee: Omg all the puzzles are solved]

There were a few parts where the two of them got it a little wrong.

Because Bang Yoo-chan and Jang Si-woo hid their problems so thoroughly, even Ji Hwa-seong didn't notice them no matter how experienced they were, and Logan didn't even know about the problem in the first place.

Besides, the root of Kim Chun-yong's worries and concerns was something they could never know.

[Ji Hwa Seong: Anyway, let's refresh it.

Jihwaseong: Refresh

Rogan Lee: Fine I can do it

Rogan Lee: But how do you do it?

Ji Hwa Sung: So… .]

Still, the important thing was that both of them wanted to have fun while making their member feel good.

Thanks to that….

“Okay, where the hell are you going right now! Hobin hyung told me earlier that you shouldn’t just go anywhere, you brats.”

“Hey, what if Yongyong hyung is here? He’ll help me with the training, right?”

“Right. I trust you, Chun-Yong hyung.”

“You suddenly dragged me out here, and what the hell do you want me to do to clean up this mess…?”

Even though this situation has come to this.

“Oh, Excuse me! I’ll get through it, I’ll get through it!”

“I’ll just pass by for a moment! Yes, yes. Thank you.”

“Hey, hey…!”

The three of them were running wildly through the crowded building corridors, and the sudden turn of events was enough to confuse Kim Chun-yong.

'What on earth are they doing? What, were they fighting too? That's not it. They have nice expressions!'

Kim Chun-yong, who was dumbfounded, tried his best to guess the reason behind their actions, but Kim Chun-yong, who could not even think of the concept of a 'family reunion surprise', continued to make mistakes.

'…Run away? Are they running away because they're scared before the awards ceremony, right now?'

That too, is a pretty strange fallacy.

If you think about it a little, it sounds ridiculous, but it wasn't the case for Kim Chun-yong, who had become sensitive due to recent events.

Your old drinking buddy might be living a second life just like you, and you're at a loss as to what to do next.

Besides, today is an important day that may lead to the fulfillment of contract terms.

When things go that way, people can start to think a little negatively.

‘… If that’s the case, then this is not the time to be dragged around by these guys! You should win the Rookie of the Year award!’

Kim Chun-yong, whose thoughts reached that point, put strength into his body as he was being dragged away like a piece of paper by Ji Hwa-seong and Logan.

Even though Ji Hwa-seong and Logan are the tallest members of the team, Kim Chun-yong is the true main dance member of T.O.J.E.

The compression muscles were different.

"…100 million!"

“Huh? Hyung Chun-yong, why all of a sudden… .”

When Kim Chun-yong, who had been being dragged along so well, stopped in his tracks and didn't move, a look of bewilderment and confusion appeared on the faces of the two people who had been running excitedly.

Huh? You can't do this here?

Huh? If we go down one more floor, it's a tearful family reunion?

“Uh… guys. Listen to me.”

In addition, Kim Chun-yong suddenly hardened his face and started saying meaningful words.

“Let’s go to the waiting room, guys. If you’re feeling down, rely on your hyungs and think about how to solve it. If you do this, it’ll cause a lot of harm to other people.”

And then, he tried to drag the two of them back to the waiting room.

“No matter how scary this award ceremony is, you can’t have this kind of attitude. Hey, you guys won the survival show and debuted. This isn’t really a big deal, right? There are so many award ceremonies we have to go to in the future. You can’t run away.”

“Wait! Hyung Chun-yong, just a moment. Will? E, escape? That, that’s not it…”

“Profit, Yongyong hyung, why is your strength so strong, for real!”

“Oh. Unlike you, I work out hard, so that’s why. Keep quiet and follow me.”

Ji Hwa-seong and Logan pull to the left, and Kim Chun-yong pulls to the right.

However, the two people gradually begin to gravitate towards the right.

“Ugh, ugh… .”

A tearful expression appeared on Ji-hwa-seong and Logan's faces.

No, we were just trying to surprise you to make you feel better.

If I go back to the waiting room now, I'll be able to see my family a long time later, after Kim has finished counting!

But if you say something like, "No, I have to go see my family" right now, the surprise won't be meaningful.

Kim Chun-yong's power was so great that he didn't notice anything and was gradually being dragged away.

Then what should I do?

"…Mars."

“Hey, Logan.”

They exchanged glances and nodded with determined expressions.

Regardless of country or age, in a moment like this, there was only one thing the younger one could do.

… writing a slogan.

Growing up to over 180 cm tall, they never thought they would do something like that at a moment like this, but the two of them had no choice.

This time, I can't just go back to the waiting room.

As soon as that judgment was made, a brief argument began to unfold.

“Hey, can you come with me for a bit, Yongyong hyung? It’s not like we’re running away! There’s no way we’d do that!”

“Then why are you suddenly going to the underground parking lot? There are no other stores here.”

“God, that, that… I can’t… say it! Anyway, for now, come with us.”

“I knew this would happen. It’s obvious since you can’t speak. When you guys go to the waiting room, you’ll each get a chestnut.”

“Ugh, that’s not it, really!”

“Fine. Hyung Chun-yong, I’ll lie down here. I’ll really lie down. I’m not going to the waiting room!”

“You’re not getting up? Logan, you’re seven? Even Antae isn’t like this!”

Previously, Bang Yoo-chan and Jang Si-woo knew what shame was, so they hid it.

Right now, they can't even make that decision.

“What is it? A new challenge?”

“These days, short-formers are really calling everything a challenge… They’re just like kids throwing tantrums.”

“Oh my, these are the T.O.J. kids. They’re cute… aren’t they? But they’re really big.”

The sight of three men, with an average height of 180 cm, lying down and not moving in the waiting hall of the live hall where the popular music awards ceremony was about to take place caught people's attention.

Other celebrities who came to present awards, and staff members who passed by carrying their equipment and shouting loudly.

and….

“Hey, isn’t that in front of our waiting room? Can we get in there?”

“Who is it…?”

“… I’ll go and ask.”

Even other fellow singers who have just arrived to attend this awards ceremony.

“You should at least tell me why you’re doing this. What’s the problem, huh?”

“I can’t say it… If I say it, everything will be ruined.”

“Seriously, I also sympathize with Mars today. Chun-yong hyung. Are we that unreliable? This is too much… .”

“Belief and this are two different things, you punk.”

Kim Chun-yong sighed as he watched his two younger siblings sit down in the hallway because they could not tell him directly, even though it was for their own good. Someone slowly approached him from behind.

“Excuse me, just a moment.”

"…hmm?"

If I had to choose between something that stands out and something that is ordinary, I would say it’s closer to the latter… .

“This is in front of our waiting room, but could you please go somewhere else…?”

If I had to choose between being noisy and being quiet, I would clearly choose the latter.

'… Wait a minute. This is 100% my senior.'

In that moment, Kim Chun-yong suddenly came to his senses and bowed his head without even thinking about checking the other person's face, repeatedly apologizing.

“Ah, gosh. I’m really sorry. I’m sorry. Haha, this is our first time at an awards ceremony like this. We got lost a bit with our younger siblings.”

“Oh my, I didn’t get lost. Yongyong hyung, this is too much… .”

“Be quiet, Inma.”

“Aha, you guys are Tioje. It’s my first time meeting you. Our activity periods don’t overlap so perfectly.”

“Oh, yes. I will say hello. We are Tioje’s…”

Kim Chun-yong's head, which had been lowered, rose again and met the eyes of the person in front of him.

And, Kim Chun-yong couldn't finish what he was saying.

“… … .”

Because the other person was staring at me with an incomprehensible face.

And, that opponent happened to be… .

“Oh, I’m Nate from 2OCD.”

“… … .”

Because he was the person I had been trying to meet in person earlier.

A somewhat subtle feeling.

A feeling that seems like it's both known and unknown, like it's right but not quite right.

However, Kim Chun-yong was able to gain some certainty from that subtle moment.

“This is our first time, right…?”

Because it was the words that the other person said.
