Chapter 226

If you can’t debut, you’ll get a fatal disease. Episode 226,

the group message room conversation was released, and the reaction was good.

-Is this a comeback rice cake??? Is the title Rabin your own song?

-DanDangDang,

who just talks about work, no matter what

kind of

bullshit happens. It’s crazy that I’m going to use it.

If there’s no particular problem material, wouldn’t this kind of small and friendly content be a steady seller? Besides, there was even a comeback hint, so it must have been fun.

… However, before uploading this, I received an unexpected review at the last minute.

-Um, will you capture it and upload it?

-okay.

– Wouldn’t Chungwoo hyung be better at this? you’re the leader

-… !

-You don’t usually post things like this, so I think the fans will like it more~ Don’t they?

… That was right.

It must be more natural than me, who has already used similar patterns a few times.

So, I accepted Sejin’s feedback and posted the article on the side of Ryu Cheong-woo to cleanly deal with it.

-Oh, it was Cheongwoo

. -Ah, Ryu Cheongwoo put an animal emoticon after the younger siblings’ names and saved them. Are you crazy, this guy

?

‘I couldn’t think of this before that guy.’

Wasn’t he like a child who was impatient with only his own motivation?

It’s time to do a self-diagnosis to see if you’ve lost your form.

I clicked my tongue and crossed my arms.

‘Do the next thing properly.’

Of course, before that, we had to properly finish preparing for the comeback.

Even if one person joins separately, it was organized so that it proceeds step by step, but the process of matching each other on stage is still essential.

Still, the other members, including me, have some time to spare. I’ve finished a lot of filming that I can do without Kim Rae-bin.

But not Kim Rae-bin.

‘That guy has to do it all from now on.’

Thanks to this, as soon as Kim Rae-bin joined, he was so busy that he would start talking about work whenever he touched it.

Even so, he didn’t forget to say hello.

A few days later, as soon as the time finally arrived at night, he sneaked into the room.

“My sister asked me to deliver it to my brother and Yujin Cha! I tried my best with all my sincerity. Thank you so much.”

What Kim Rae-bin offered was… Yakgwa and pumpkin sikhye purchased from a local restaurant. It was probably sent by courier.

But the quantity is staggering.

‘Somehow, you must have known Cha Yujin’s taste… .’

Since the two give different things, it is reasonable to at least match the taste of the person who knows the taste.

Because I don’t particularly like or dislike food.

‘I wonder when I’ll eat all of this.’

Still, I have to say something.

I received the box wrapped in a huge cloth.

“thanks. I will eat well.”

“thank you! I will definitely pass it on to my sister.”

Kim Rae-bin smiled and nodded. Originally, it was of no use to me because I had a bloody look and couldn’t sleep properly for several days.

I was a bit conflicted, but finally asked the question.

“… Is Grandma okay?”

“yes! I’m constantly in contact with him, but he says he’s recovering smoothly.”

It was fortunate.

I nodded without speaking.

“And in the future, I asked you to tell me honestly if you experience any physical discomfort, such as a disease… .”

“good job.”

I tapped him on the shoulder once or twice.

Now that you have gone through this process once, you will be able to accept it more resolutely even if the moment that Kim Rae-bin is really worried about comes someday.

‘… I can’t avoid it, but I can cope with it.’

That’s it.

I shook off my useless thoughts and picked up the bundle or the return he gave me.

“Then this… Refrigeration would be right.”

“That’s right. … Oh brother! I will!”

“done. I got it anyway, but what?”

That’s how I was about to take the contents of this bag to the refrigerator, which would need to be refrigerated anyway.

“Oh, come to think of it, there is something I wanted to ask you!”

“What.”

Kim Rae-bin followed and raised his hand.

“I wonder why you opened the message room related to the remote work of this album to the fans!”

“… !”

“Since there has not been an official press release related to this album yet, I was worried that there might be a risk of leaks in my short opinion… .”

Rabin Kim’s eyes flashed.

“I would like to ask what efficiency you expected to take that risk!”

“… … .”

such a risk… I never thought about it.

I looked at him with a bit of awe.

‘As long as the KakaoTalk server is not hacked, there is no way the song will be leaked.’

You’re so serious about your songs and albums that you’re even worried about the risk of existing only in theory.

Still, I think it might take a while for the group to shed space for a comeback personally before an official statement is made.

However, it shouldn’t have been said directly because of the remarks that crossed the line.

‘Should I take out only the least irritating parts and weave them together?’

I calmly opened my mouth.

“Among the fans, there are people who noticed that you were at your home. I told them to be at ease.”

This was also a real reason. It was because there were quite a few people who were anxious and worried about Kim Rae-bin’s mental state.

Of course, the primary purpose was to make the bullshit shut up.

-Hahaha, Lebyung is more sincere about his career than you guys~n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

-Where has everything disappeared?

-Because Gatgi is good at it before you guys even beat it, losing is the worst thing in life.

Seeing that reaction made me feel at ease.

‘This is the correct answer.’

“Is that so.”

but… Kim Rae-bin still had a puzzled face.

“But when the official comeback press release comes out next week, you’ll feel relieved.”

“… … !”

“The pleasure that message rooms can give would have been valid even then, so it would have been safer and better to upload after that… Oh no! Sorry for talking back.”

“… … .”

I was devastated.

is that correct?

right.

It does not mean that Kim Rae-bin’s hypothesis, such as the leak risk, is correct, but it means that there was no need to respond directly, being conscious of public opinion behind the scenes like X.

After all, everything will be solved once the comeback teaser comes out.

Posting a group message room capture in a hurry was a scrape that would be a hint that he was conscious of the bullshit.

At least it was not me, but Ryu Cheng-wu raised it, so it passed naturally.

My initial judgment was… Wrong.

“You’re right.”

I muttered.

There was a voice that came to mind.

– But don’t worry too much bro. How can I change someone else’s mind to my own?

-That’s not true, and not everyone believes that… !

In the meantime, while listening to the people around me, I admitted that I was preoccupied with controlling public opinion more than necessary, and then I repeated the same thing again.

Didn’t he even commit something that didn’t produce any benefit this time like a headless bastard?

It was obvious.

just… It was just that I couldn’t stand the sight of being criticized for the death of my family. X feet.

“I made a mistake because I was oversensitive.”

“Oh no! A question I don’t need… .”

“No, this is right.”

I kept muttering.

“I guess it was because I was thinking about the past.”

“Yeah, you mean… ?”

“okay.”

I lost my words as if my spinal cord had been frozen.

“I am late.”

“yes… ?”

“When I went, everyone else’s family members had already completed identification. Only my parents stayed until that night… .”

Are you crazy?

I bit my tongue.

“Tongue bro.”

“I’m sorry for saying something stupid. Anyway, your reasoning is correct. It was my mistake and there is no big meaning or efficiency.”

“I’m sorry… !”

Kim Rae-bin… It became like I was about to spill all my tears and mucus at any moment. Damn.

I put down my luggage and touched my forehead.

“What are you sorry about?”

“Choosing the wrong subject to remind you of a difficult experience… .”

“No.”

I told you the truth.

“It’s hard because I couldn’t cope properly at that time… .”

“no!”

Rabin Kim cut off his words.

Then, with a clear nervous attitude, he clenched his hands into fists.

“As far as I remember, my older brother contacted me while studying at the academy… … . So, after a while, I received it. Is that correct?”

“… okay.”

I even talked about that.

Raebin Kim shook his head eagerly.

“But the student’s duty is… Studying is not right!”

“… !!”

what?

I looked at him with a look as if he had been hit in the back of the head.

“My brother was just doing his best in his position. So that’s… It was just an accident.”

Kim Rae-bin swallowed his saliva.

“As if it wasn’t my fault that I went to MT.”

“… !”

“Yes? Of course, the case is a bit different… .”

okay.

you are not me

But aside from that, I also… It’s true that you did your best.

It just felt like the best was not enough.

And no matter what I did, I just couldn’t admit that there was no way it wouldn’t be hard.

– No one is good at this kind of thing.

As I told Rabin Kim directly, no one is good at this kind of thing.

“… … .”

I got my head

The shock was strong, but the answer was clear.

Judging by using Kim Rae-bin as fodder, I finally saw it.

‘What a great deal a middle school student can do.’

I thought he was too young to suffer the obituary, but he couldn’t look at my situation when I was younger.

So now… Is it time for a re-evaluation?

‘okay. It’s worth watching.’

That’s enough for a middle school student.

“… … .”

Somehow, my mind was at ease.

… I had a groundless hunch that the quality of my sleep would be good today.

“I think there are grounds for making similar emotional judgments in the recent situation between Hyung and I, but… … .”

“okay.”

Let’s confirm this, though.

This poor bastard kept trying to convince me with my eyes.

Kim Rae-bin’s complexion brightened.

“… … ! Yes! So it’s my fault for reminding me of a hard experience!”

“No, not that.”

You’re saying too brightly that it’s your fault. It seems to have been inverted because of the joy that the persuasion was successful.

I continued to speak as softly as possible while lifting the boxes of Yakgwa and Sikhye.

“… Thank you for your kind words.”

“Hup!”

Kim Rae-bin bowed his head again.

“I really thank you very much. Meantime… Thanks to my brother, I received a lot of help and was able to participate in the album safely.”

It’s good for the group itself, so I’m doing this again. There is no end to this.

‘I need to freshen up the atmosphere.’

I asked lightly.

“Is that why you gave Cha Yoo-jin a return?”

Kim Rae-bin was straight.

“no. I gave it to you.”

“… … .”

I don’t know if the two of them are close friends or if they treat each other as fools, but I hope fans will see it as the former.

I shrugged my shoulders and put the yakgwa and sikhye in the refrigerator.

“Don’t eat well.”

“yes!”

For reference, I’ll just say that this gift had to be eaten one by one while preparing for a comeback, and I had to manage my weight at the last minute.

‘It’s self-employed.’

… The mysterious thing is that Cha Yoo-jin did not have that matter.

Anyway, such a funny happening was short-lived. The release date of the album was approaching by the minute.

The first signal was the teaser release.

* * *

“What are you doing?”

“I will not. go away.”

Kim Rae-bin’s personal fan gritted his teeth and pushed his snooping younger brother.

‘That’s fucking shit because I don’t want to admit that I’ll just have to look for it myself!’

It was quite annoyed that he tried to sneak a look at something that he could confidently look for if he was interested in Park Moon-dae, as if he was arguing with himself.

Of course, even considering that, her current reaction was more intense than usual.

Because there were concerns.

‘Is Kim Rae-bin okay? !’

Rumors had circulated that the grandparents had collapsed and joined the preparation belatedly.

Rabin Kim’s fan tore his nails.

‘First of all, it seems that the family problem has not grown bigger after seeing it posted on social media.’

Still, since the preparation period was relatively short, I had a foreboding feeling that the amount of Kim Rae-bin in the album would be small… .

‘Oh, it’s noisy! Then, protest to increase the amount of the next album!’

What are you buying and worrying about!

She yelled once and then corrected the mouse.

I’m sure it will wake up at midnight… .

‘It’s up!’

Then she shut her mouth.

“Huh.”

The thumbnail is Raebin Kim!
