Chapter 6: A Fine Crack

The ending was heated but wrapped up with a calm atmosphere.

Ha-hyeon walked down on his own, and all the members looked satisfied.

The manager kept praising them, encouraging everyone that they did well.

Thanks to that, they even went to a company dinner they normally wouldn’t have been allowed to attend.

“We always eat meat at company dinners.”

There were so many people that they rented out an entire restaurant.

A huge group gathered to drink, so it was naturally noisy.

Hwi-young deftly wrapped a lettuce leaf and muttered as if to himself.

“It’s the safest option. The leader only eats meat, and the maknae eats well.”

“Our table has two of them eating everything.”

While the other members ate moderately, Jun and Seo Ye-jun were impossible to keep up with once they picked up their chopsticks.

A growing high schooler and a meat lover who had always eaten richly made that inevitable.

“Eat slowly.”

But Ye-jun didn’t have much appetite today.

Maybe because the concert felt like being a rookie again after a long time.

Despite his tired stomach, he looked fine as he picked up the tongs and started grilling meat.

Hwi-young dropped the meat he was about to place on his lettuce wrap, shocked that Ye-jun, who was usually the one being fed, took initiative.

“Hyung, what’s wrong? Was the concert really hard?”

“Don’t talk nonsense. Eat while I grill.”

Jun smiled wide enough to show his teeth when Ye-jun placed a large piece of meat on his plate.

“Since it’s rare for hyung to grill for me, I’ll save it and eat it later.”

Even though Jun had no intention of doing that, his bright smile made Ye-jun open his mouth to call it nonsense again.

“I need to take a call for a moment.”

Jun, who had been eating without a care, suddenly stood up.

Ye-jun saw the word “Mom” on his phone screen.

He had never seen Jun call his parents in the past ten years, yet this was already the second call in just two days.

Ye-jun put down the tongs and looked at the door Jun had left through.

In the nest that had seemed happy and perfect, cracks began to show for the first time in ten years.

And in the center, the part he thought was strongest, a fine crack barely noticeable.

[Celebrity Board] REVE) Short concert review (warning: only Seo Ye-jun talk)

Author: Yang Ssom

I went to the concert. R section, 2nd row lol. I really saw them from the very front, and I got to see their features super clearly. My house is right next to the venue, so I’m at my computer crying while writing this.

I’m skipping view photos and stuff because it’s annoying. I cried so much I couldn’t take many pictures. Uploading what I have anyway.

Like the title says, I don’t have much to say, so this is short. I’ll just write diary-style about what I want to write.

The stage was great, all of them did well, no flaws. But the important thing is the concert venue environment lol. Who is our opponent? ATM (REVE’s agency, traits: 1. Bad at their job 2. Money ghost). Compared to debut, they’ve gotten better at handling things, but this concert venue was really… the lighting was a mess lol.

[JPG]

This is a lightstick photo lol. See the quality? It’s been a year since debut and there’s still no official lightstick, so they made another concert-only one.

A polygonal lightstick that seems like it would be a disaster if you swing it and hit the person next to you. Plus the remote control that works for everyone else doesn’t work lol. Only white light keeps coming out. Yeah, what do you expect from a disposable one ^^.

Those who went to the concert will know, but today’s protagonist was definitely Seo Ye-jun ^^. I’m sure you’re curious about the other members, but I’m only going to talk about Seo Ye-jun. That’s how shocking it was lol.

The home master just uploaded this fancam, go watch it lol. It was uploaded right after the concert without editing, so the quality isn’t great, but just watch him dance a little.

You all know Seo Ye-jun isn’t a dance member. He only did a bit of b-boying… But today Seo Ye-jun, without exaggeration, was as good as the main dancer Ha-hyeon lol. How does a person improve this much in a few months????

Ha-hyeon is truly top-tier in dance, but his singing is lacking, so he often gets out of breath on stage. It’s natural that someone who only danced struggles to sing while dancing. At least Ji-gu was a trainee at a big agency, so he sings well and dances decently, and I thought he was good at controlling his breathing.

But Seo Ye-jun learned that in two months, f*ck lol. What did he do to suddenly control his breathing so well? And he raps while doing intense choreography, but he doesn’t even look strained…..

[Link]

This is a fancam from a music festival two months ago. Watch him dance. Is this even the same person lol. Why did he suddenly skip all the intermediate steps and evolve? Suddenly an egg becomes a chicken. Hey Seo Ye-jun, where did the chick go?

Also today’s ment lol. Jun was about to say something, and a fan rudely did a personal ment. Ye-jun didn’t ignore it and responded. But that was:

“We’ve done well until now and will continue to do well ^^ We’ll keep going for 20, 30 years ^^”

※ 1 year since debut.

Does anyone normally say 20, 30 years lol. Shouldn’t it be 5, 10 years at most? Why is he running ahead alone, f*ck lol. It’s the 1st anniversary right now? I love his characteristic confident words. Seo Ye-jun seems like he’s never bowed his head once in his life.

The person next to me also went “bzz” because his skill suddenly improved so much lol. I don’t know them, but we both freaked out the whole time asking why Seo Ye-jun is like this. He never seemed like a rookie, and now he’s finally evolved lol.

On my way home I looked around communities, and it’s all Seo Ye-jun talk. Ye-jun, you should have gone easy. The fans got so surprised.

• If you have questions, ask in the comments. I’ll answer.

[Comments]

– I heard from staff that Ha-hyeon’s condition was really bad. Was he okay today?

– Omg right, they said his condition was bad for days.

– OP) Yeah, today he was okay.

– Oh, relief.

– No, f*ck, today I felt my 10-year-idol oppas from Seo Ye-jun.

– Maybe your age..

– Shut up.

– I’m a passing idol trainee, and I was really shocked after watching the video…. Even people who’ve been on stage for years can’t run around like that and stay stable.. It’s harder when you actually do it. Rapping without shaking your breath while dancing is something you need a long time and feel for, it’s not something you can do in a day or two. He seems born with it, amazing.

– Thanks for the compliment ^ㅁ^ But he wasn’t born with it.

– Because until just a few weeks ago, he wasn’t someone who did that ^^..

– Are there people who can do it in a day or two??

– No.

– Ah.. okay.

– Seo Ye-jun, honestly, are you a 10th year??

– Who says 20, 30 years for a 1st year idol lol.

– This crazy intimacy like we’ve seen him for 10 years..

– Ye-jun, how much did you practice? You didn’t skip sleep, did you? You look like you lost some weight. You didn’t practice without time to eat, right?

– Seo Ye-jun…?

– Ye-jun…?

– For Ye-jun, sleep over practice, food over practice.

– Yeah, he works hard, but he won’t sacrifice that. Himself is first priority..

– True lol. First is me, second is me, third is me.

– Ha, Seo Ye-jun is realistic ^^

– Yeah, please always stay healthy.

– I went to the concert, and it felt like Seo Ye-jun was replaced. He was so calm today.

– True, he didn’t even talk nonsense.

– Hey Seo Ye-jun, come back. Who kidnapped you?

– He took care of the members between stages. Why did he suddenly become leader..?

– I’m a passing fan of another group, wasn’t he originally the leader??

– Uh, he is the leader but.. he’s the leader but… a leader who isn’t a leader..

– Leader in name only. Actually, Ha-hyeon handled the real member management.

– Wasn’t Seo Ye-jun originally the maknae itself? Always getting scolded by Ha-hyeon.. watching the younger members’ moods…. Even fighting with Jun, who’s 6 years younger, every day. Wasn’t he an immature hyung?

– Failed character analysis again today..

– At this point, the Seo Ye-jun regression idol novel protagonist theory rises again..

– F*ck lol this was so funny.

– I am Seo Ye-jun, a member of the 5th year idol group REVE. I successfully debuted through a program called Survival ID, and now I stand as a top idol. If we release a song, topping the music charts is basic; our last album even achieved a million seller. Of course, the daesang is almost fixed for our group now. The rookie days of bowing to seniors without a moment to stretch my back are now distant past. I am a huge success.

“Ye-jun, wake up. Today is the first day of filming.”

“What are you talking about. The concert is the day after tomorrow, there’s no schedule.”

“Are you still half asleep? What concert. Survival ID filming starts today.”

At those absurd words, my hazy mind snapped back. Survival ID is a Stone Age program already buried in my memory. Fans don’t even mention it now. When I raised myself and looked in the mirror right next to the bed, I couldn’t hide my shock. F*ck. This is my 23-year-old face. This isn’t a novel, how is this happening.

“F*ck this.”

No, wait. Since I got a young face, I should enjoy past glory again. – Excerpt –

– No lol this is so funny, the person who wrote this is hilarious.

– The post the comment above excerpted.. It’s not exactly the same, but someone actually writes something similar, f*ck lol.

– Ah f*ck lol really???

– Yeah, search “forced time machine ride” on Twitter lol. It’s a Ye-jun regression fic.

– Ah.. I searched and came back. Just chapter 1 is so bleak I can’t read it.

– I can’t read it either because I feel bad for Ye-jun lol. He built up a career and then regresses? Just reading it is painful.
