The Malicious Member Returns! Episode 249

* * *

The faces of the T.O.J members who returned to their dorms after a full week were filled with emotions.

“I’m back! Can someone help me with my luggage?”

“Mars, Inma. But shouldn’t you carry your own luggage?”

“Okay, then Yoochan hyung will go in alone. I’ll ask Siwoo.”

“I, I’ll do it… No one at home makes me do anything…”

“Siwoo, you too… .”

Some people are just happy, some people are deep in thought, and some people feel like they can finally live.

“First, everyone, receive your gifts. Oh, I thought I was going to die from the weight, seriously!”

“Oh my, Mars. What is all this? What are you doing here, packing up all this stuff after a week of being away?”

“I knew I’d be going to Daegu next time, so I brought a lot. This is Yoochan hyung’s. I heard this is good for your throat… Oh, Siwoo. You take this too.”

“Uhm, yes….”

Only after all six of us gathered did the dorm feel full.

“haha….”

Last night, Kim Chun-yong, who had fallen asleep slowly, walked toward the noisy living room and rubbed his stomach.

It is true that it was difficult to feel this level of energy when there were only Logan, Son Jae-ha, and Kim Chun-yong.

Well, maybe it’s because they are a particularly quiet group of people.

“Ah, Chun-yong. I heard from Ho-bin hyung about a trainee coming out of Queens….”

“Really? I heard there’s a trainee coming out of Queens this time?”

“Yeah. But, since you know her too….”

“yes?”

“Why, you know, Juan.”

“…Keuk.”

I was busy thinking, worrying, and considering various things before the other members arrived.

“Haam… .”

Kim Chun-yong hugged the famous bread of Daegu Dongseong-ro that Ji Hwa-seong threw at him and yawned in an un-idol-like manner.

“Brother Yongyong, didn’t you get enough rest? Why does your face look like that?”

“Why my face?”

“It’s the same as when I slept for 8 hours for 3 days because of my schedule.”

“Ah, well. That’s right… .”

‘Kim Joo-an is going on a survival show again. I couldn’t even sleep because it was something I never thought I’d ever do.’

The awkward smile filled with fatigue did not last long.

“Oh, everyone’s here. The timing is perfect.”

The members’ return to their dorms meant that their sweet, short vacation was over, and that meant… .

“… Everyone, please pack your bags lightly and gather around for a moment. I’d like to explain the upcoming schedule to you.”

It was as if a capable manager would show up at the perfect moment to brief them on their upcoming schedule.

It was a strange moment of being handed the prepared luggage, although it was quite tense.

“then….”

Yoo Ho-bin, who was looking at each member who was lined up in the living room, cleared his throat briefly and recited the things he had written down one by one.

“First of all, Mr. Logan, Mr. Jaeha, and Mr. Chunyong will be appearing as mentors on a survival program called , which will begin filming next month… ”

“Oh, just the three of you, separate schedules? Is that okay, okay? I have a schedule too…”

“-Mr. Mars, you will be appearing on a program where you will travel domestically with other idols. That’s great. Your quick-witted and bright image will be well-received.”

“…omg.”

Domestic travel with other idols.

There was no need to explain what this was.

If you work in the broadcasting industry, it means that Ji Hwa-seong was chosen as the next member of the that is currently being broadcast to great acclaim on BNS.

“… Me? Really? I saw all the stuff that Leopold seniors were in!”

“Yes. I think you wanted a lively youngest image. I think you can do it well.”

Ji Hwa-seong’s face was still filled with an unimaginable shock, but to Kim Chun-yong, who had already experienced it before, this fact was less surprising than his appearance as a mentor on a survival program.

Even with Arrows, there was a noticeable gap after the repackage.

Since my survival debut, I’ve been running like crazy without resting even once, and that’s the same now as then, which means that my method of managing my hiatus is also the same.

At that time, Ji Hwa-seong was the first to appear on a solo entertainment show from T.O.J.

“Uh, okay. Mars. We’re going to film Mars starting next week. I’ll tell you what it is slowly. Just, just know.”

“Umm, Tae-wook hyung. If you could tell me a little more in detail… then Hwa-seong will be able to prepare.”

“Hey, Jaeha. Rex is in that state right now. Tell me in detail. You have to be careful about that too.”

… At that time, my schedule was set right after Kim Chun-yong’s accident, so I couldn’t congratulate him like I do now.

“Hey, Ji-hwa-seong. Have fun, okay?”

“Ugh! I’m so nervous? Um, is it okay if I’m not with you guys? Are you sure I’m okay?”

“What’s wrong, again?”

Kim Chun-yong rubbed Ji Hwa-seong’s platinum hair with all the regret he felt at that time, and waited for Yoo Ho-bin to open his mouth again.

That’s probably not the end.

Members who will appear in other entertainment shows with Ji Hwa Sung.

Well, there was one more.

“Oh, and Mr. Yuchan.”

As if living up to Kim Chun-yong’s expectations, Yoo Ho-bin scratched his cheek and smiled brightly, then gave a thumbs up to Bang Yoo-chan.

“… Congratulations. This is the first overseas schedule among T.O.J.’s.”

“Uh… Yes? Overseas?!”

“Can you heal me, this time, Yoochan will be appearing as an idol guest.”

“Ugh… .”

okay.

During the difficult times for Arrows, Bang Yoo-chan was able to appear on the radio, do featured songs, and appear here and there thanks to this ability.

Kim Chun-yong: From what I remember, it wasn’t a music travel program called ‘Can You Heal Me’ but a different music competition program, but I guess it’s been upgraded this time.

The power of the KPCA Rookie of the Year award was to reach out to places like this.

“Wow, daebak. Yoochan hyung. You know you’re going to sweep the duty free shop, right? Please! There’s a jacket I wanted!”

“Hey, Mars, Mars. We haven’t even gotten our bills paid yet… .”

“Oh, don’t worry about that. Next week or so… the first settlement of Tiozae will be made. This is also something to celebrate.”

“Jeong, Jeongsan… .”

It was a briefing full of truly celebratory news.

After debuting, it felt like I was walking on thin ice every day, but I finally achieved my dream and actually got paid.

The living room, which had been moderately noisy due to the members’ return, was instantly filled with joy.

“Wow, what should I buy for my parents as a present? Of course, underwear would be the first thing to come up with, right? Ah, now I can really show off a little bit, for real!”

“Oh, right. But then there’s the tax issue to think about too….”

“Wait, Yoochan hyung. I want to hear more about that. After all, I’m a foreigner…!”

Laughing, talking, rolling around holding their bellies, and drying them off.

In the meantime, Kim Chun-yong approached someone who was quietly smiling.

During this hiatus, he is the only member of T.O.J who does not have a schedule.

“… Siwoo.”

“Ah… Chun-yong, hyung.”

Kim Chun-yong, who plopped down next to Jang Si-woo, whispered in a small voice so that the other excited members couldn’t hear.

“… You’re still a minor, so you can’t be flexible with your afternoon schedule. When you get older, you’ll probably have the busiest schedule among us.”

When Kim Chun-yong was active as a member of Arrows, he couldn’t know what Jang Si-woo was thinking at that time.

“First, Yuchan and Hwasung should go to their schedule. Ryu Wei left earlier….”

“Brothers, come back… from now on.”

“… Yeah. Siwoo, you too, get some rest, um. Um. Resting.”

“Brother Rex, I’ll take care of it. Take care of your schedule… .”

He was locked in his room, writhing in agony from the accident, while the other members were somehow going around doing external schedules for the sake of the group’s image, and for the same reason, only Jang Si-woo stayed still and guarded the dorm with Kim Chun-yong.

In the future, the other members of T.O.J will be so busy with their activities that their hiatus will be insignificant.

How does it feel to be in the dorms, seeing members like that?

Kim Chun-yong owed a lot to the members of Arrows.

‘… Maybe if I had been a little more mature back then, I would have talked to Siwoo earlier and it wouldn’t have gotten to that point. I wouldn’t have been digging the ground by myself without even understanding how a child feels.’

So, I couldn’t help but be concerned about Jang Si-woo being alone this time.

“haha….”

Whether he knew Kim Chun-yong’s feelings or not, Jang Si-woo covered his mouth with his right hand and laughed shyly.

“Chun-yong hyung. I… declined the schedule. Ho-bin hyung knows that too.”

“…what?”

This is something I didn’t know about.

Kim Chun-yong barely managed to keep his mouth from gaping open, opened his eyes wide, and met Jang Si-woo’s gaze.

Jang Si-woo gently rubbed his flushed cheek with the hand covering it and whispered softly against the background of the other members’ chatter.

“I have something to prepare. It’s going to be in April…”

“… Is that why you turned down the schedule? Because you wanted to do it properly?”

“Yes. So, you don’t have to worry about it.”

Who knows? Is it only him who knows this, or is it everyone else who knows but Kim Chun-yong who doesn’t?

Jang Si-woo, with a subtle smile, lightly patted Kim Chun-yong on the back and then got up to grab one of the breads that Ji Hwa-seong was throwing into the air.

okay.

Now, the start of a hiatus where each member of T.O.J.E. has their own schedules decided.

“Oh, everyone. Cornbread is good to eat, but before that, there’s one more thing I need to tell you.”

“Hehe, what is it?”

“Well, I don’t know if I should call this a group schedule. Anyway, it’s one of the most important things… .”

Also, at the beginning of the hiatus, an event was prepared to appease the regret of the Xenia members who would not be able to see all the members together for a while.

* * *

Internet communities and social media are always abuzz with stories about the idols that are the most talked about at the time.

This time, we will talk about the newly launched survival show as well as other idols related to it.

[Siyeon is a tow truck driver @Sereeeslover

Joo Chul Young < Isn't this guy's insensibility completely gone? If he did male idol server once, he'll do female idol next;; The timing is shit]

[⎿Oh, Tioje is a survival show from AG's agency, so they don't treat it as a regular show. Serenia's next is Flick Boys]

In that process, it was perhaps natural that Tioje's story would come out.

[This is T.O.J's first hiatus and his schedule is really tight. Three are server mentors and two are on a travel program?? The remaining one is going to be really embarrassing ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ]

[⎿But looking at the gap period and the age of the remaining one… aren't you preparing to transfer schools? Or maybe not, lol]

[Fire is out @fireworksday

I hope our Mars goes on a trip this time and gets lots of love from his hyungs… (Prayer)(Prayer)

I wish Chun-yong had gone with me, damn it]

[⎿ Teacher Bulbul, please don’t waste your selfish desires on things like this]

[Mentolgi, I'll live and die like this @mennnnheeriS2

No, what is T.O.J? He's already a server mentor? It's not like that, ㅇㅅㅇ… ]

[Trust Bang Yoo-chan and go to college @BangbangYourchan

[Yoochan Ohrabeoni is coming to LA this time and turning it upside down… Everyone, please put your hands together and wait for the blessings of the famous singer that will be showered on LA]

It's no wonder fans feel happy to hear such good news.

“Jae-ha is your mentor. It feels like it was only yesterday that I helped you debut….”

However, AG Property Company, which watched all of this community flow, tilted its head with a feeling of joy and excitement, but also regret.

“Well, um. There won’t be any group activities for the time being.”

No, it wasn't just her.

Xenia who likes group activities of Tiozae.

Or, Xenia, who only liked one idol but before she knew it, other members had also seeped into her heart.

It's good that my idol is doing well and appears in many places, but… still.

Still, since we all debuted together, wouldn't it be better if we all worked together?

Because of that thought.

And, I thought AG, who had a history of getting hit hard in the back of the head with a Smejiro, would be quick to catch on to something like this, if nothing else.

First is skill, second is skill.

What should I do to best demonstrate that?

“… Huh? Public notification… Whoa, whoa!”

During the hiatus, a single piece of news poured out like a shower to the thirsty hearts of fans who love group activities.

[AG Material Company: Neulbom]

[AG Material Company: Please, Neulbom, we are officially recruiting for our fan club]

[AG Corporation: And ㅠㅠㅠㅠ Fan meeting ㅠㅠㅠㅠ]

Oh, I see.

I heard the event is all set, huh?
