Chapter 218 Survival Report

I saw the news that they were spotted at the airport this morning. But I was trying not to pay attention to them, because it was a terrifying moment when I realized they were really working as a group of eight.

‘The more I think about the worst-case scenario, the more I suffer.’

As a personal fan who wished Yu-geon would escape from Floss and continue his solo activities as soon as possible, there was no silver lining for me.

And then, what’s with Y-app? Y-app? What account are they using? They can’t use their Floss account anymore. As the alarm bells rang in my head, a friend sent me a link.

[- My Idol in My Hand, Y-Live! shared a link. (link)]

I clicked on it and it was the account of the leader of the other group.

̄ ̄ ̄ ̄ ̄

[Climax] Hello, this is Cheon Ise.

̄ ̄ ̄ ̄ ̄

What’s with this title that sounds like a national apology? Did something bad happen to Yu-geon again? I felt my heart drop and I logged into the live with trembling hands.

And then I couldn’t help but tilt my head at the screen that followed.

[No, who came up with that title?]

[No, you said to write anything. Don’t you have to greet them?]

[You don’t do that unless you’re guilty.]

The leader of the other group and Yu-geon were arguing with each other, adding ‘no’ to every sentence.

And then there was Yi-jun, who was laughing hysterically, and Seong-won, who was looking down at Yi-jun with a contemptuous expression.

Why were these four in the same room? Judging by the comments, it seemed like everyone else was thinking the same thing.

[Ah~ I’m sorry, Rise. We’re not used to Y-app yet? There was a bit of a misunderstanding, but we’re just here for a quick shoot. We’re in a very peaceful state before going to bed.]

Yi-jun smiled softly and greeted the screen as the only sane one.

[We were going to show you a simple eating show and go to sleep. But Ise hyung suddenly threw a challenge to you with the Y-app title, so I think you must have been surprised. We’re fine. We’re really fine! Instead, we have a lot of fun things to show you, because we worked hard. I hope you look forward to it.]

What was going on? Everyone was staring at the screen with blank faces, and Yu-geon and Ise, who had just finished their verbal fight, smiled and sat next to Yi-jun and greeted him.

[Hello, this is Kang Yu-geon! It’s been a while since I greeted you. Or not? This is the first time I’m greeting you as a member of Composition. Ah, I’m a guest right now, right?]

He didn’t have his own live channel, so he squeezed into someone else’s live broadcast as a guest. I felt like crying, but not really. It didn’t look like a fake business at all, but I suddenly had a bad feeling.

‘This guy... Is he going to join Climax?’

He only changed his agency, but he didn’t have a direction yet. He could go anywhere, do anything, debut in any way. The fact that all possibilities were open made me scared.

Why did he have to compete with those guys who had just escaped from being nobodies? I was confused, and Yu-geon smiled and picked up a cup of ramen.

[I’m going to eat some ramen now. What flavor do you like, Rise?]

[Ah, I was going to do that.]

[Then you do it.]

[I like the spicy one the best. What flavor do you like the most, Rise?]

He called the viewers by the name of the other fandom so naturally, it made my heart ache. But the person himself emptied a cup of ramen in no time, as if it was delicious.

And he didn’t forget to steal a shrimp from the leader of the other group, who was slowly enjoying the seafood flavor.

[Ah.]

[Weren’t you not eating?]

[No, I was saving it.]

[You looked like you weren’t eating~.]

The member who got along well with Yu-geon joined in and stole another shrimp. I didn’t know what it was, but I felt that Yu-geon’s expression was different from when he was in Floss.

I had been obsessing over him more than anyone else, so I couldn’t miss the difference.

‘He’s having fun after dropping a nuclear bomb on us and disappearing... You bastard...’

“What’s with that weird look?”

Yi-jun immediately sensed something strange and narrowed his eyes suspiciously.

“Oh...”

Yu-geon, who got along well with him, joined in and looked at me with eagle eyes as if he was a detective.

“Something smells fishy.”

“What smell? It’s the ramen smell, take it out.”

I checked that the screen was properly closed and opened the window. It was quite chilly at night, as the temperature dropped to 10 degrees.

“Brr, it’s cold.”

Yu-geon and Yi-jun whined and put the blankets over their heads, ready to sleep.

“You should sleep too.”

I lay down next to Seong-won, who had been sitting quietly, and patted his back.

He nodded slowly and covered himself with the blanket. It was as if we were on a school trip.

“Did you feel uncomfortable today?”

I whispered in a low voice that only Seong-won could hear, and he looked at me silently for a moment.

What? It’s either yes or no. If it were me, I would have shown my displeasure right away, but he was unusually quiet, which made me more uneasy.

“No, I’m fine.”

I was surprised by his unexpected answer.

“What?”

“Forget it. Just sleep.”

Seong-won turned his back and lay down, not saying anything else.

I didn’t know what to make of it, but maybe he was satisfied in his own way. I decided not to expect too much and just watch his reaction.

I kept thinking about Kyunghwa’s situation and almost tossed and turned in bed, but... he was a guy who knew how to separate work and personal life. I thought I’d talk to him as soon as I got a chance.

Thanks to the conclusion, I was able to fall asleep without too much delay.

The next morning, the first event of the island tour, whale watching, began.

“Hello, this is Seon-woo, your guide for today! We’re going to meet the largest mammals in the world, right now, let’s go!”

He sounded like a professional MC on a radio show, with a smooth presentation that was incomparable to before.

He had a cute gesture and a perfect expression that showed off his face. I guess it’s good to push yourself hard as long as your ability allows it, that’s how you grow.

I nodded to myself and glanced at Kyunghwa, who would be the guide for tomorrow.

He was trying hard to focus, but something seemed to be missing, and it bothered me.”

‘Should I tell him?’

As I was hesitating, Kyunghwa seemed to regain his focus and helped Seon-woo with today’s progress step by step.

If it was a problem that he could solve on his own... He wouldn’t want to cause trouble in this trip because of his pride.

Kyunghwa was a very responsible guy, so he wouldn’t make a mess, but I remembered the nightmare of the MC incident last time.

‘Back then, Seon-woo was too clueless, and this time it’s a bit different, but....’

His family situation was too complicated. I couldn’t make a decision and waited for a chance to talk to Kyunghwa alone.

During the morning whale tour, the guys who didn’t listen to the motion sickness pills made scenes that were hard to broadcast, and I was busy fixing them.

After lunch, we went snorkeling, but what could I say in the water?

I tried to look good on the screen, but I was overwhelmed by the wonders of nature.

After finishing the exhausting sightseeing, we came back and it was time to sleep again. Today, I didn’t have the energy to greet anyone, so I asked Yi-jun to upload some selfies on SNS and passed out.

‘I really need to talk to him once.’

I barely had time to think, and the fatigue swept over me and I lost consciousness.

The third day of the trip came in a flash.
