The Malicious Member Returns! Episode 234

* * *

T.O.J wasn’t the only rookie idol to appear on KPCA for the first time this year.

“Singers, please wait in the waiting room if possible! In order to check whether the performers have arrived, please wait in the waiting room if possible!”

“In particular, rookie idols, please read the notices on the waiting room table carefully!”

Music Days wanted to give a chance to various people to win the award as they put ‘fairness’ as the selling point of KPCA, and that meant having more guests than other shows.

That means, of course, the team that formed a fierce rivalry with T.O.J. this year is taking up a spot in the waiting room.

“Antaei. You should really be thankful to Shop Nuna. If it weren’t for her, your skin tone would be gray.”

“Hmm, I know… Ugh, I’m dying. It’s been two days, why am I still like this?”

“Wow. I’ve seen someone like this before. A senior who had 20 shots of tequila at a prom looked like this.”

“Jaden, please. I’m starting to feel queasy when you mention the name of the drink.”

“Tae, it’s your karma. Why are you drinking alcohol that you can’t even drink well during the end-of-year stage season?”

Well, that’s Wiz.

Just like Tioje, Wiz arrived at the KPCA site and safely finished the red carpet photoshoot. Among them, Ahn Tae-yi was groaning and groaning, taking up an entire sofa in the waiting room.

“I heard that Chun-yong and Yu-rang became close. The atmosphere is good, how can I get out of that?”

“Yeah. Because you didn’t take it off, I practiced while feeling nauseous, and because of that, I ended up coming to the awards ceremony in a bad mood.”

“Please speak to me more affectionately… .”

The other Wiz members were enjoying themselves drinking and dancing, but they kept hurling abuse at our 7-year-old boy who was whining, and they poured water and hangover remedies into his mouth.

It’s true that they’re suffering, but I couldn’t ruin their awards show performance.

In particular, the leader, Han Dan-woo, was even more merciless in his handling.

“Cough, wait, wait. Let me catch my breath…!”

“If you drank to death, now drink and come to your senses.”

Would it be easier to understand if I said that it was similar to the scene in an old historical drama where they grabbed a character’s mouth and poured poison?

“I, I feel like I’m done. I’m not dizzy anymore. I came here in a van earlier… Ugh.”

“Then why are you about to vomit now?”

“You poured four bottles of water on me, Danwoo…!”

It was quite some time later that Han Dan-woo’s hands stopped and the conversation in Wiz’s waiting room turned to a different topic.

“… Phew. So that’s what I’m saying.”

Han Dan-woo, who threw the empty water bottle into the trash can in the corner of the waiting room, pretended not to know, but opened the conversation with a story he was more curious about than anyone else.

“You’re saying that Kim Chun-yong and Sa-gong-yu became close friends? Is this not just a delusion? Is this true?”

“Um, that’s right. Tae-hyung, since I came back from that time, I’ve been hungover all the time except when I was practicing, so I couldn’t even ask you about it…”

“Ahem, uh. I’m telling you the truth. That’s right, I said that Yu is just a little shy.”

“… … .”

At Antaei’s words, the other Wiz members exchanged glances and shut their mouths tightly.

Otherwise, I thought there would be a lot of criticism like, ‘You’re doing your best to defend me because I’m your friend.’

Those who took a step back and observed Sa Gong-yu’s sensitivity and bluntness were more aware of it than those who were close to him.

There, Han Dan-woo, who had not taken the position of leader for nothing, knew very well how to define that personality.

‘Kim Chun-yong’s son… definitely changed his personality to be more systematic and delicate after leaving Queen’s. In a way that he considers others well. So, it wouldn’t be a lie to say that we became close. But… .’

Han Dan-woo briefly looked at An Tae-yi, who was now suffering from a hangover, not a watery one, but a hangover, and then slowly opened his mouth again.

“… Did the two of you seem to be talking about something interesting?”

“Uh… Hmm? Why is that?”

“No, well. I’m curious. It’s something that comes up at drinking parties.”

I’m 30 percent curious about what they actually talked about while drinking, and 70 percent curious about how the two talked.

Finally, a question containing 110% curiosity, including 10% of the strange Seham, was directed at Antae.

There was no big reason why Han Dan-woo brought up such things.

only….

‘… Mr. Sagongyu, to be honest, I think you have a bit of paranoia.’

It was because of Sa Gong-yu’s personality that he couldn’t say it out loud to his best friend, An Tae-i.

Blunt and sensitive.

In fact, this alone could not express all of Sagongyu’s characteristics.

If you take a step back and look at him carefully, you can describe him in different sentences.

A person who is always forced to be professional because of his job.

A person who does not easily change their evaluation of someone once they have made a judgment due to some experience.

And, people who draw too strict boundaries between who they can trust and who they cannot.

That was the kind of love that Han Dan-woo felt.

Of course, that didn’t mean it was a bad thing.

The other Wiz members, including Han Dan-woo, have no idea what ‘bad thing’ happened that made Sa-gong-yu have that kind of personality.

However, the story that Sa Gong-yu became close with Kim Chun-yong through just one drinking party brought up a lot of thoughts.

‘Kim Chun-yong… Perhaps, judging from what you’ve been doing recently, you’ve become close by listening to each other’s stories.’

It wasn’t anything special, just something celebrities talked about while drinking.

Sharing our daily lives, sharing our thoughts and problems about them, and just letting it all out over a drink.

There, of course, the daily lives of celebrities are part of the entertainment industry.

What does this mean?

Because of Sa Gong-yu’s paranoid side and the drinking atmosphere, it is possible that Kim Chun-yong may misunderstand certain facts.

Moreover, Kim Chun-yong approached Sa Gong-yu first with the attitude that he wanted to have a friend, and he wanted to win his favor.

In a noisy drinking party, could you really listen carefully to what the person you were trying to get close to said?

Of course, Han Dan-woo couldn’t say that out loud.

Anyway, Han Dan-woo doesn’t know anything about Sa-gong-yu, and he doesn’t know what was talked about at that drinking party.

Besides, Kim Chun-yong was not a member of Wiz, but of another group, T.O.Z.

The fact that Han Dan-woo keeps getting this much attention because of something that happened when he was a trainee is a bit of a sticky matter.

“Um, umm… I went to the bathroom then, so I’m not sure. Well, when I came back out, Chun-yong was talking about a really great orgasm. Isn’t it all good?”

“…okay.”

“Ugh, I really need to go to the bathroom. I drank too much water… .”

Because of this, Han Dan-woo had no choice but to send An Tae-yi, who was now somewhat better, to the bathroom, feeling uneasy as he had not gained much.

“Hyung Danwoo. It seems like all the other seniors have arrived at the red carpet. Do you want to watch the broadcast?”

“Uh, uh. Let’s do it.”

Han Dan-woo tried to put his pointless thoughts aside as he watched Leopold slowly walking out of the waiting room TV that Jo Eun-i had turned on.

Kim Chun-yong is Kim Chun-yong, so I think he’ll handle it well…

* * *

Yes, same time.

“… Oh, so does Chun-yong’s older sister like Choi Ga-on?”

“Oh, yes. I think Yongyong hyung often sends his senior’s autographed albums to his older sister. I overheard him talking to our manager hyung.”

“I see. Siblings, siblings…”

“Shhh. Mars. Wait a minute… Chun-yong hyung’s expression in front, his expression…!”

“Oh, wait. Wasn’t this something I shouldn’t have said? Why am I like this today?”

The three Tiozes and one 2OCD who met in front of the waiting room of 2OCD were heading down to the underground parking lot in great anticipation.

And, the expression on Kim Chun-yong’s face, standing at the very front, was much more dynamic than usual.

I frowned, then realized the truth and quickly straightened up.

“Oh, I’m sorry. People tend to talk to me a bit too easily. Haha, so I often get involved in other things…”

“Eh, something else? What is it, senior?”

“Well, for example… discord between other teams?”

“Wow! We’ve had that happen to us too! What I mean is, when we did survival before… .”

“Mars, why are you so excited? Stop, stop! It’s embarrassing!”

“Hey, Mr. Logan. What are you embarrassed about? Then Mr. Logan, tell me briefly!”

“Oh. If you say so, senior…”

And then, I started to feel like a yaksha again when I heard the chattering voices from behind me.

‘That guy is using his skill on Mars again. Now he’s even putting his hand on Logan’s shoulder. This is driving me crazy. Is this a skill that makes people’s mouths lighter?’

It was quite difficult to stop Lee Hyo-jae, who suddenly said he would accompany her to the family reunion.

“Did I make you feel uncomfortable? I’m sorry. I have a hard time setting boundaries between people… .”

“Oh, no. There’s no way we would make you uncomfortable, senior.”

“I’ll just receive the real album, say hello, and go right away. I don’t want Chun Yong to feel uncomfortable when he sees his family!”

“Ahem, Yongyong hyung… .”

“… Haha. Let’s go together, together! It’ll only take a ‘little while’!”

Ji Hwa-seong, Logan, and Kim Chun-yong also caused trouble in front of the 2OCD waiting room, and Tioje and 2OCD were seniors and juniors.

Let’s say my nose got pierced in a completely unintended way.

‘I think it was the same during the Jooyoung senior issue before. Are Logan and Hwaseong the ones who cause trouble? No, no. Actually, I’m the one who causes trouble… .’

Kim Chun-yong chewed the flesh inside his mouth and put all his effort into controlling his facial expressions.

Kim Chun-yong couldn’t figure out why Lee Hyo-jae was thinking of accompanying him on this journey.

His expression was desperate, as if he really couldn’t let Kim Chun-yong go like this, and he seemed ready to grab her hand to ask for a favor.

He said he would avoid shaking hands and come see me later, but once we shook hands, his avoidance was useless.

‘… I have to go quickly anyway because I have to prepare for the stage. I’d rather just hurry up and send it off.’

Even though he had roughly established his own behavioral pattern, Kim Chun-yong couldn’t help but feel his red hair hanging down the back of his neck wet with cold sweat due to anxiety and tension.

I keep thinking about the worst case scenario.

‘… What if Hyojae hyung was the one who caused the accident?’

The chances of that happening were probably slim.

No matter how shameless he was, he would never be shameless enough to be drinking with someone who ruined his life.

If that’s the case, there’s a high chance that he’s a sociopath.

However, the Lee Hyo-jae in Kim Chun-yong’s memories was not that kind of person.

Contrary to his calm and gentle appearance, he is very foul-mouthed, has a quick temper, and makes frequent mistakes.

I would say he is the kind of person who would be a drinking buddy with Kim Chun-yong.

but….

‘If, if this guy is the person involved, I’m taking the person who caused the accident to my sister and Nari right now.’

How could one not feel depressed?

Besides, what Sa Gong-yu said to Kim Chun-yong while he was very drunk and had a sad expression on his face was also just words.

“At first, I wondered why he was so aloof. He’s just so sly and… Ah, you’ll understand when you meet him.”

“It’s not that you’re loose-lipped or make a lot of mistakes, it’s that you’re sly?”

“Huh? Huh. It wasn’t the feeling you mentioned earlier. Ugh. It just didn’t feel right. You’ll know when you meet him.”

At that time, Sa Gong-yu felt as if the incident with Lee Hyo-jae had just happened vividly thanks to [Overlap], the skill that Kim Chun-yong used the most.

Also, there was no lie in that expression or in that voice.

No matter what anyone says now, to Kim Chun-yong, Lee Hyo-jae was a suspicious person, someone he was wary of, and perhaps someone he did not want to get involved with as much as Jeong Yeon-woo.

‘… I want to send it back right now.’

From the moment he saw Tiozae’s van in the distance, Kim Chun-yong’s hands began to get wet.

‘If, really, Hyojae hyung is that kid…’

If Lee Hyo-jae was the person who caused the accident that overturned the limousine that Kim Chun-yong’s family was riding in.

If that person is the one who is currently abusing his skills and listening to other people’s stories.

“…Huh? Hey, hey! Kim Chun-yong! Kim Chun-yong is here!”

“Yes? How did you come, Nari-ssi? Did you contact me already?”

“Huh? What? You haven’t called me yet… Oh my god, damn it. It’s T.O.J! Is it, is it really T.O.J?”

…what would he think when he saw Kim Chun-yong’s two sisters standing there with bright expressions?

“… Sister. Kim Na-ri!”

Kim Chun-yong, who gave a sincere smile to the two people who were meeting again after a long time, quickly turned his gaze to Lee Hyo-jae who was following behind him.

“uh….”

He let out a short exclamation and looked at Kim Chun-yong with an indescribable expression.
