Chapter 42
The next morning.
"These guys are slacking off with only one day left until our comeback stage! Get up! Think you're living the good life?"
Uriya was sick and slept in, but you two should be up bright and early, right? I burst into the room and woke up the two guys sprawled out until nine o'clock.
Ryu Jaehee, rubbing his half-closed eyes, asked, "Hyung, is Hajun Hyung okay?"
"Why are you skipping over my well-being?"
"How can you be sick when you're yelling at the top of your lungs first thing in the morning?"
"Exactly. Who'd worry about someone who walked out of the hospital on their own two feet less than two hours after being admitted?"
I silenced Kim Dobin's sly remark with a curt, "Shut up, Dobi," then asked about Seo Yehyeon's whereabouts.
"Yehyeon Hyung? I think I heard him say something about going to the practice room this morning while I was half-asleep... Why are you being so evasive about Hajun Hyung's condition? Is it still serious?"
"No, he's completely recovered. What do you want for breakfast?"
Ryu Jaehee, who had been peeking over my shoulder, waved his hand frantically to stop Gyeon Hajun from answering.
"Huk, Hajun Hyung, don't overdo it! We'll take care of it! Yehyeon Hyung, Dobin Hyung, and I agreed yesterday that we wouldn't let you push yourself today!"
"I'm fine, I told you."
"We're fine too! Besides, there's only salad anyway, so there's nothing to prepare. Huk, wait, shouldn't Hajun Hyung be eating porridge? Should we grab some from the convenience store?"
"No, I'm fine with just salad. I told you, I'm all better now."
At Ryu Jaehee's signal, Kim Dobin swiftly set the table with salads and four forks.
"Diagnosed with nutritional imbalance, and now I have to chew on this rabbit food..."
He grumbled, forcing down the cold, dry boiled egg that came with the chicken breast salad topping, chewing it with the lettuce.
For someone who usually ate salad with ranch dressing, balsamic vinaigrette was torture.
Gyeon Hajun, who was eating silently beside him, patted his shoulder lightly.
"There's no choice. We need to manage our weight since activities are starting soon. I'll make chicken stew for you when it's over."
"My nutritional imbalance probably has a lot to do with this damn diet."
"Hey, Hyung, you even had bread with your salad this morning. The salad has protein, and the bread covers your carbs."
Kim Dobin shut up and focused on his salad only after catching my glare.
Ryu Jaehee, who had paused mid-bite as if remembering something, turned to me with a serious expression.
"Ah, right! Seeing the diagnosis reminded me—Hyung, what are we going to do? There's a witness account online saying they saw you at the emergency room. It's causing a huge uproar. And to make matters worse, they mentioned seeing blood on your clothes."
Hearing this, I stood up to grab my phone, but Gyeon Hajun immediately scolded me for getting up during the meal, forcing me to sit back down.
It's not like I can delete the witness account anyway. I'll just check it after I finish eating.

Isn't Eden the one who performed on stage for What Kind of Ending's featuring? They said he was carried in covered in blood, and they thought he'd been in a major accident.
I heard he was coughing up blood or something... His shirt was drenched in it.

- [ Mㅊ, is this a joke? Please tell me it's a joke! What's going to happen to our Eden...? ]
- [ Please just say he bit his tongue or had a nosebleed! ]
- [ I'm going crazy with worry! Has anything been posted on the Fan Cafe or Official Account? ]
- [ That really handsome kid was also at the emergency room yesterday. ]
- [ OMG, Yehyeon too?! ]
- [ No, he was fine. It was another member lying in the emergency bed. But I only recognized the handsome one, so I don't know who the other member was. ]
- Are you sure? Not just hearsay?
└22 If there's no proof, I don't believe it.
└If they posted proof, those same people would be cursing them for mindlessly filming in that situation, lol.
└I saw a few eyewitness accounts on other communities too, so it seems like it might actually be true.
- If the post and comments are true, that means two out of five members can't participate in activities right before their comeback tomorrow. Wow, this is a disaster.
- What's going on? There's no post or announcement on the official Fan Cafe either.
- OMG, what a bolt from the blue right before their comeback!
- Seriously, is the comeback the problem right now? If they're coughing up blood, they might have to retire from the entertainment industry altogether!
└Exactly! Why is everyone only worried about the comeback? The artist's health is at stake, and Reve's future activities are now completely uncertain.
└Please let it be nothing serious...

Using illness as an excuse to postpone activities is the best ㅋㅋ
They must be really scared to face us directly, being a Rival Pick group ㅋㅋㅋ

These crazy bastards are seriously pissing me off.
Some of us are worried sick about our artists being sick, but they're mocking the sick members while hyping up their own group? Does that make you feel good? Stop acting so brainless.

"That fandom" is so annoying with their overreactions. Generalizing everyone based on one crazy fan is ridiculous.
Don't they realize that capturing and archiving someone else's private posts is even more clueless and creepy?

Wishing Reve a speedy recovery!
Daydream, please understand that one private post doesn't represent the views of all KICKS fans!

What did Yehyeon do wrong? Why should our girl suffer because the other members couldn't manage their health?

Replying to @kiki_k
Of all the sick members, Eden is the team's top contributor, so we can't even criticize them properly. If we did, Eden's fans would immediately start bashing our girl's skills again, guaranteed.

Ah, Yoon Leader again. YJR, YJR, YJR... They'll be chanting about how many songs she wrote, composed, produced, and contributed to the top hip-hop group in Korea. It's so predictable, I've memorized the whole routine by now.

And Yehyeon needs to stop making mistakes on stage and improve her skills. What does she contribute to the team besides her looks? Add in the constant shade-throwing, and the Eden stans' fanaticism is complete.
낙원은 에덴 @Edenreve
Ugh, those Yehyeon haters are back, mocking a sick member on their private accounts.
If you hate a specific member so much, just leave the fandom! Your whining won't erase Yoon Leader's contributions!

So, if they're really sick, their activities get postponed? That's so unfair.
Honestly, I think managing their health is part of their skill and responsibility. If activities get delayed because of that, I'd be pretty disappointed...

Replying to @JFALK75AF1
Exactly! Looking at the current chart rankings, if they promote this week, they could definitely aim for #1 on music shows next week!

Eden and Hajun both look healthy! Everyone seems to be doing well.
But who started that rumor about Eden coughing up so much blood it stained his clothes? Does that look like someone who just coughed up a bucket of blood?
Nine @9nine
Replying to @gyugyudream
Exactly! They probably just went to the ER for something else, and the blood was just a nosebleed. I was worried for nothing after hearing those crazy rumors. With that kind of recovery, he should be in the special forces, not an idol!

The comeback isn't delayed! Who's sweating now?
Of course, no names mentioned 😉 Our Reve is going for #1! #Let'sGo

As expected, the public's concern largely subsided after we posted a group selfie from the practice room, looking perfectly fine.
Our agency, having received confirmation of our recovery, swiftly released statements on the Fan Cafe and official social media accounts, declaring that all members of Reve were in good health and that there would be no delays to our activities.
They also took the opportunity to announce the recovery of the two members who had been spotted at the emergency room.
Thanks to this, my coughing up blood was conveniently reinterpreted as a nosebleed staining my clothes, and my collapse was attributed to overwork.
Gyeon Hajun, who had been hospitalized with me, received minimal mention.
Perhaps the image of me being carried in covered in blood was too striking. It was all thanks to me.
"Your recovery is truly remarkable. How did you both get back to normal in just one day?"
Seo Yehyeon, who had arrived at the practice room early to practice, exclaimed in amazement when he saw Gyeon Hajun and me enter.
Gyeon Hajun was dealing with the doping issue, but I felt fine, except for a lingering fatigue from finally getting a good night's sleep after so long.
"Thank goodness. I was worried about holding the team back."
Gyeon Hajun offered a water bottle to Seo Yehyeon, who was drenched in sweat, and smiled faintly.
"The reality show filming starts tomorrow, right?"
"Yeah, they said they'll start filming from the moment we wake up tomorrow morning."
"But we have a pre-recording at dawn tomorrow, so we have to get up at 1:30 AM."
"We'll just have to catch a quick nap to avoid looking puffy on camera."
Looks like I'll have to squeeze in some songwriting again today. I sighed deeply at the disrupted schedule and got up.
"Alright, we've rested enough. Let's get back to practice."
Normally, the guys would whine for five more minutes of rest, but they seemed aware that tomorrow was our comeback broadcast and quietly followed my instructions.
After finishing our last practice session before our comeback broadcast, we returned to the dorm to find cameras set up everywhere.
The production crew from My Idol Observation Camera, who were with Manager Hyung, handed me a camcorder.
"You can use this to film the members waking up in the morning. Please try to capture them as naturally as possible."
I nodded absently, barely registering the crew's repeated emphasis on naturalness.
I knew that no one would act naturally with cameras around anyway.
As soon as the crew left after explaining the camera locations and a few precautions, I immediately passed the camcorder to Ryu Jaehee.
If I have to film the members waking up, that means I have to wake up first, right? I thought. Why would they assign this to someone who's already sleep-deprived?
