Chapter 24
"Do you want the socially acceptable answer, or the honest one?"
I burst into a hearty laugh at the youngest member's question.
This was precisely why I'd asked him in the first place.
Of course, the fact that he was sitting next to me accounted for roughly 40% of my reasoning.
Seo Yehyeon was already glaring at me, so I knew I wouldn't get a decent answer from him.
Gyeon Hajun always avoided saying anything that might offend someone, preferring to beat around the bush, so I wouldn't get the answer I wanted from him either.
Kim Dobin... Well, let's not even go there.
"Just be honest. I won't hold it against you."
"He seemed a bit crazy, but I figured if Hyung was relying so heavily on fortune-telling, he must be going through something really tough."
"Now that it's been revealed that wasn't the case?"
Will my Original Intent Score be penalized for inciting discord?
"Just a crazy guy who wasn't even struggling?"
Despite bracing myself for the impending pain, my Original Intent Score remained unchanged.
"You said you wouldn't say anything."
Perhaps misunderstanding my serious expression, Ryu Jaehee timidly added, "You said you wouldn't say anything."
Ignoring him, I rubbed my throbbing temples and grumbled, "I don't get it. What's the difference between pushing this as a follow-up to 'One Chance' and now?"
"There's a huge difference. Back then, Hyung was Reve's fascist dictator."
Oh, so that's how you saw me back then?
As I propped my chin on my hand and stared intently at him, Ryu Jaehee slowly scooted backward, then suddenly yelled, "You said you wouldn't say anything!"
"Did I say anything?"
Picking at his ear with his pinky finger, he waved his other hand, signaling Ryu Jaehee to continue.
Ryu Jaehee scratched his cheek, a sheepish expression on his face, and said, "Hyung is trying to communicate too, and ultimately, One Chance did well as a follow-up track, right?"
In other words...
"So, as long as the result is good, it's okay to be a dictator?"
Since the January comeback lineup will reveal my performance anyway, does this mean I don't have to worry about pushing my opinions and being accused of stirring up conflict, or having my Original Intent Score lowered?
Grinning, he leaned back comfortably on the sofa. Beside him, Ryu Jaehee sighed.
"Ugh, this Hyung still hasn't come to his senses."
Under Jaehee's pitying gaze, he scratched the back of his head roughly and asked, "...Isn't that right?"
"Yes, yes, that's incorrect. Think carefully and try again."
Then just tell me the right answer! I grumbled inwardly. I have so much to do; why do I have to waste time on this too?
Muttering, I checked my Weekly Quest list.
Since it wasn't an active promotion period, the quest list was nearly identical to the previous week's. I started the Search Quest, which was the quickest and easiest.
After the One Chance promotions, the buzz around us had skyrocketed, making Search Quests much harder than before.
I remembered the days when I could complete a Search Quest in a minute because nothing would come up. It was a strange feeling—should I be upset or happy about that? As I half-heartedly clicked through articles on various websites, I stumbled upon a surprisingly long post.
[Entertainment Chatter] Rookie Boy Group Catching My Eye Lately

What I wrote above is "Rookie Boy Group Catching My Eye Lately," but what I really mean is "The rookie boy group I've been obsessed with lately."
(ReveOneChanceMusicShowEnding.jpg)
Yep, it's that One Chance group—the one that went viral for their gacha-win song, stat-boosting anthem, and toxic energy-fueled track.
They're a five-member boy group under LnL Entertainment, and their group name is Reve.
Their fandom name is Daydream, and the nickname for fans is Ilmong, derived from "daydream." But only one member in the group actually uses the nickname... Their debut date was xx.08.08, and their debut album is the 1st Mini Album, which includes the title track "One Chance."
Below, I've compiled brief member profiles and some TMI tidbits. Since they're still rookies, there isn't much official information available, so I've scraped together everything I could find—their public appearances, behind-the-scenes stories, and rumors.
Order: By Age
1. Seo Yehyeon
(OneChanceWaistlineGuy.jpg)
At 21 years old, he's the eldest member of the team. His birthday is December 17th, and his official height is 180cm. As you can see from the photos, he's the visual member of the group, but his singing and rapping skills... well... still, he's handsome, so it's fine, right? Flower deer-like, virile beauty is rare these days.
On stage, he sometimes improvises new choreography, then glances nervously at the leader, Eden, even though Eden is his younger brother, lol.
He occasionally posts selfies on social media, but he's terrible at taking photos... Still, he's handsome, so it's fine, right?
2. Gyeon Hajun
(OneChanceAbstinent19PlusGuy.jpg)
Born on January 3rd, he's not a "fast-year" student, so he's the same age as Yoon Eden—20 years old. His official height is 182cm. He looks more like an actor than an idol, but his position in the group is in the vocal line (probably the lead vocalist?). His voice is amazing.
He takes good care of the members. The OA App praised his cooking skills, so he probably cooks for them too. He seems to be the "mom" of the group, the kind every team has.
He rarely speaks on radio shows or broadcasts, suggesting he's not very talkative. Though he's not one for frequent communication, his fan service in person is top-notch.
3. Yoon Eden
(OneChanceSmugSmileTeardropMole_ThatGuy.jpg)
Born on August 1st, he's also 20 years old. His official height is 180 cm. He's the team leader and main rapper. His rapping skills are no joke, and his dance lines are beautiful. He wrote and composed Reve's only song, "Come to My Universe."
He started in the hip-hop underground before going through the trainee route. Rumor has it he was a Newborn trainee with Hajun. He has a slightly intimidating, delinquent vibe when you first meet his gaze, but his eye smile is incredibly refreshing. When he smiles, he becomes a total heartthrob. Please, Eden, just keep smiling so I can keep promoting you...
Along with Maknae, he's one of the team's top communication members. Uniquely, his signature greeting is "May your health be well." He posts photos frequently, and unlike Yehyeon, who's hopeless at selfies, Dobin is a selfie god.
Hajun always uses formal language with Yehyeon, who's less than a month older, but Eden speaks informally to him. He's a true Hierarchy Breaker.
4. Kim Dobin
(One ChanceBang BangThat Guy.jpg)
Eighteen years old this year, he's a student in the Practical Dance Department at XX Arts High School, majoring in Urban Dance. His birthday is May 26th. His profile lists his height as 177cm, and as expected from his major, his team position is Main Dancer. He resembles a Golden Retriever, lol.
He's desperate to be funny, but he's just not... Sorry, Dobin... But Reve already has Seo Yehyeon, the creator of new choreography and a natural comedian.
I remember being intimidated by Eden during our first meeting, thinking he was trying to assert his seniority. Even though we've cleared up the misunderstanding, I still find myself stiffening up around him, like I'm back in military training.
5. Yuje (Ryu Jaehee)
(OneChanceDecencyKeeperThatGuy.jpg)
At 17 years old, Yuje is the youngest member of the team. His birthday is September 14th. Officially listed at 175cm, he's also the shortest member. He's the only one in Reve who uses a stage name.
His position is main vocalist. His high notes and vocal range are almost idol-level. I remember seeing him mentioned a few times as a trainee at TK Entertainment, one of the three major agencies. I wonder why he left TK to debut with LnL... He and Eden are the team's communication leaders, always using hamster emojis. But since they're both so cute, I can't complain. His selfie skills are just average, which might be why he often takes two-shots with Eden. He's great at fan service, both online and in person!
He's often seen clinging to the members, but only Hajun accepts his affection. Come on, guys, give our cute maknae some love! He's so disappointed! ㅠㅠ
If you've read this far, you've already fallen for Reve, haven't you? 😉
Then let's stan Reve together!
We'll be Reve fans until we die, and whoever gets tired of it first becomes a dog.
Please show our boys lots of love and pray that their next album is as good as One Chance! That's all for now.

- Congrats, you've successfully converted me! They're rookies, so there probably aren't many videos, but I'm going to watch them all now.
└ Only watch music shows from August 21st onwards. Don't bother looking for earlier performances or music videos—Reve doesn't have any.
- Seo Yehyeon's visuals are truly untouchable. Who cares if his skills are lacking? In the idol world, looks are a skill in themselves.
- OMG, I finally found that guy with the arrogant smile! I couldn't stop thinking about his smile, it was practically ruining my daily life.
- Seriously, if their next music video is shot like that again, I'm grabbing a bat and heading to LnL.
- The youngest member looks so cute being tiny among all the older members. It's adorable!
- I heard a rumor that Ryu Jaehee was kicked out of TK for assault.
└ Any proof?
└ Let's not spread rumors without solid evidence.
└ Wait, what? Several TK trainees who trained with Yuje posted congratulatory and supportive messages for his debut on Facebook. If Yuje was really an abuser, wouldn't they have cut ties with him?
- One Chance is their only song? I thought their debut song was "Come to the Universe" or something?
└ㄴㄴ That's a girl group song. Reve's song is "Come to My Universe."
└What's "Come to My Universe"? We don't have a song like that;;
- Obvious viral marketing ᄌᄂ 티남 ᄉᄀ
└Stop calling everything viral marketing just because it's a promotional post. Do you really think a small agency that shoots low-budget music videos and doesn't even update their schedule has the money or time for viral marketing? ㅋㅋ (MyUniverseYehyeongif.)
└Wait, is he the idol from that "The Importance of Hair, Makeup, and Styling" video?
└Please stop posting GIFs of music videos that don't exist;;

See? I told you the concepts would all be flipped.
Seo Yehyeon, who had been cultivating the image of a reliable eldest member, was now a dance backup member who constantly checked my, his one-year-younger, mood.
Kim Dobin, who had been aiming for the team's comic relief and variety show personality, was now seen as a pathetic guy with a desperate need for laughs but no sense of humor.
Ryu Jaehee, who had been trying to establish himself as the beloved youngest member, was now portrayed as a pitiful guy who was constantly rejected and disappointed.
Only Gyeon Hajun, who had consistently maintained the image of a caring mother figure, remained steadfast in his concept.
As I scrolled through the comments, chuckling, Ryu Jaehee craned his neck to read the screen and chimed in, "Hyung, you found that too? Doesn't it make you feel anything?"
"I still can't figure out what fans find cute about you."
"Ah, not that. Don't you feel bad for this cute youngest member who's been reduced to a clingy loner?"
"Good. Now's the perfect time to ditch the 'beloved, cute youngest member' concept and switch things up. And frankly, I'm the one who deserves your sympathy, having to witness your pathetic attempts to cling to other guys."
Three years later, knowing how this kid would turn out, this was the last piece of advice I could offer Ryu Jaehee.
Come to think of it, the concept-finding quest was only for our next activity, right?
We were supposed to create a concept tailored to what the fans wanted. Based on this post, the image fans had of me was...
"...Hierarchy Breaker?"
Too bad, but there were no more hierarchies left for me to break within the team, so that idea was scrapped.
"Hmm, what concept should I go with?"
"Hyung, how about searching your name and using the first article that comes up?"

Our Eden waving his hand is the very definition of a black kitten!

Have you never seen a kitten before in your life...?
"...They call me a baby cat."
"Ugh..."
"I know it doesn't suit me, okay?"
Since I couldn't bring myself to adopt a kitten concept, Ryu Jaehee hesitantly offered his suggestion:
"How about a reverse image? Someone who seems to have a terrible temper but is actually a pushover who gets bullied by their younger siblings?"
"Stop projecting your fantasies. Think about what the fans want, what the fans want, you brat."
"Ack! Ack! The fans definitely wouldn't want an image of the youngest member getting bullied like this...!"
Of course, none of this was helpful.
A pushover? What nonsense. One Hierarchy Breaker in the team is more than enough, you little punk.
