Chapter Title Fever Time Frenzy
Wow, I knew this would happen.
Episode 7 of Idol Training Simulation had just wrapped up.
It was well past midnight, but this was prime time for SNS activity.
Checking the timeline, it was flooded with tweets about todays episode, as expected.
Whered all those Grand assholes who were trashing Sma go?? LMAOOOO
Youre not mutuals with unnies Song Hyeongbin fans, right?? Kinda worried for no reason.
Yeah yeah, Ive got Song HyeongbinX on my profile too, all good all good
Thought Sma was buried since he barely showed up early on, but he got a ton of screen time from midepisodemood absolutely skyrocketed
But then I remember that time Kongrangdan got wrecked, and the good vibes turn right back to rage for me.
Exactly lololol Screen times about the same as last week, but they yapped so much it feels like they stole it
Another shocker today Karis 20, Estonias Korean skills
Gotta dig into his background at this point fr
Dude could debut as an actor if idol doesnt work out.
Estonia got a ton of Karistypes??
You think? Even in Korea, to see hot guys you gotta drop 120k won on AllPass
Nah nah, add proxy bidding snack shares concert dress code fits merch. Thats like 200 million total now
Ah fml
Always talks like a total weeb but switches to perfect honorifics with older hyungswhy is it so thrilling??
Dude calls them hyungnim not just hyung and youre thrilled?
Smas got Joseon dynasty vibes normally, ancient Chinese wuxia with elders. 100 historical drama addict. Weeb but history weeb flavor
Arent history weebs all massive pervs and crazies? Oh please. Love that??
Smas been in Korea like no time but fully adapted to Eastern Courtesy Nation vibes lololol Talking like hes got a resident ID already
Stop hating on Sma you psychos. No matter how much you trash him, he wont see it, but kindhearted weaklings like me read it and get mental breakdownsso if youve got beef, send a damn letter to the network
Pyo Joohyun had gotten into Idol Training Simulation later than her little sister, but her fanning skills were as sharp as ever.
In just a few days, shed memorized every trainees name and their connections in the survival show.
And shed dug up everything on Karis von Walden, whod stolen her heart at first sight.
As a result, she was now simping for her fave harder than ever.
What, whats wrong now.
Youve got it good. Your faves in the safe zone, no drama.
No, thats not it either?
Pyo Jihyun poked her head into the room at her sisters sigh.
Yooncheol barely got any screen time at all. You saw last timehe just nodded like a reaction bot, no words.
Cant do much about his personality.
Exactly. Its frustrating as hell? At least unnies side has some noiseours has zero crumbs.
Still, getting antid like this pisses me off.
It didnt sit right with her at all.
Sure, rivalries kicking off in a survival show were par for the course, but straightup hate without humanity? Nah.
If theyd at least apologized.
Song Hyeongbins hardcore fans usually deleted posts to cover tracks and dipped.
She lurked as the flame war raged for a few minutes.
Then a new topic popped up.
I owe Karis so much. Kongging seemed super stressed from messing up leader role in round 1, and he was worried again this time, but Karis kept looking out for him and it worked out
Watched todays ep and gave my leftover fever vote to Karis
Yeahhh they genuinely take care of each otherloved it!!
No cap, glad I stuck through todays ep. People rashjumping with zero info just looked weird
And its not like he did anything wrongjust teamed up and got hated on Poor KaGging
Their duo slaps tbh. Gotta debut on the same team
Some fansminus Song Hyeongbins diehardswere dropping reasonable takes.
Karis had helped a deeply troubled Song Hyeongbin, so they owed him that much.
Pyo Joohyun, wellversed in idol culture, found the scene oddly off and unbelievable.
Sudden full 180 like this? Even light fans usually just bury it and ghost in situations like that, no?
Ayooksis a bit special.
Pyo Jihyun showed her sister her phone at the question.
The screen displayed the ongoing fever time vote status.
Fever times gotta pop, so theres this unspoken vibe trading back and forth between trainee fandoms. Song Hyeongbin fans are probably gunning for it too?
Hmm.
Pyo Joohyun eyed Song Hyeongbins fever time status.
Even as the round 1 1, hitting the high vote threshold still needed time.
Team up with other fandoms to trigger fever time fastermaybe theyre allying with Karis fans this time?
Spot on, I think. Bluntly, its weird like you said. Id be too embarrassed to apologize, wouldnt even mention Karis.
Made sense.
Egoheavy fans rarely owned up.
Without that juicy reward incentive, this vibe wouldnt exist.
Hows everywhere else?
Other SNS platforms minus Bluebird were buzzing with fan repayments.
Got two votes left today, anyone wanna swap?? Yooncheol main for me!!
Trade with me ɞ ɞ DM!!
Pls vote Eungyu once
Is it over?!

New pairings were forming here too.
pic Karis vote proof Kong Kong Kong
Thx for Karis vote! ๑ᴗ๑
Bins Forever teammates...
Saw Karis help Hyeongbin today and voted right awayyy
Both fevers almost donegonna hit at the same time
Wow, insane. Theyre straightup pushing a Song Hyeongbin x Karis alliance here.
Pride whatever, fever time success is priority. Were probably swapping with Chae Eungyu fans too?
Even with overseas fan backup, domestic fan help was key to popping fever time.
With global round 2 deadline days away, top trainees were teetering on the edge.
Whod fire first was the question.
Pyo Joohyun clenched her fist at Karis von Waldens profilejust two stats from completion.
Gotta crack top 7 this time, no doubt.
She decided to scour every SNS platform.
Most were probably riding this collab wave.
Oh.
But she stumbled on an unexpected battleground.
Eyes gleaming with curiosity, she scrolled furiouslytill Pyo Jihyun peeked over.
Ah, unnie, better for your mental health to skip this one.
Feels like a dopamine hit right now.
Not rage boiling up?
The infamous toxic thread starter, basically.
Every vile idol community flow started on this platformno exaggeration.
And true to rep, the vibe here clashed wildly with everywhere else.
Keep babying Kano and hes out here acting like hot shit, giving hyungnim advice like hes somebodyfucking cringe
Gotta check his visa ᴗ
Fr, his recent antics stacking infinite dislike
Weird how chestpuffers only praise is good Korean.
And hes lost in concept, weebtalk 247total clown
Kanos never led but advising NenGing like he knows shit? Advice was just him hierarchying solo
Politics maxed
NenGing shouldve Yankeed and homed him quiet
Names got von and hes real Phone Leader lololol
But Kanos got total Yankee facehows that selling? Only hits same typeswe instinctreject on sight. Imagine that face in a grouppuke
Fr that foreign mug historical drama speechwanna deck him
Kano. Looks 100 Yankee, talks Joseon, bows princelytrue multicultural mess.
Realization Kanos lost it. Could model in his country but nah, comes here and ruins Nengle
Nonstop mess.
Felt like all the Bluebird altaccount owners had migrated here.
Pyo Jihyun tsked at her sisters face.
Told you its better not to look. Why hunt down that poison yourself?
Feels like a social misfit convention from the way they talk.
Abyss of abysses. Theyre dogpiling Karis now, but give it a weektheyll pick a new victim.
Pyo Joohyun knew Karis von Waldens speech wasnt standard.
But that didnt justify crossing into personal attacks.
No agency means he cant sue over that crap. Gotta debut first?
Debuts basically locked for him?
With fever climbing, not debuting would be weirder.
True, Karis is even faster than Eungyu.
Pyo Jihyun snapped her fingers, hit by a thought while fiddling with her phone.
Oh, and the benefit too. Extra 10k votes music show appearance. For overall 2.
Holy, right. Totally forgot.
Hes on music show the day after tomorrow?
10k votes were sweet, but a music show slot to brand that face? Massive perk.
Especially for an standout like Kariseyes magnetized instantly.
Pyo Joohyuns toxicinduced irritation evaporated.
Another stage to see!
Quite the messy situations brewed.
Watching Idol Training Simulation Episode 7, I hadnt spotted any scenes thatd spark real trouble.
My blunt words to Song Hyeongbin even seemed toned downgrateful to production for that.
But yeah, public opinions trajectory? Unpredictable.
I skimmed the cursefilled fan cheers and set my phone down.
Not enough impact to worry yetbetter tune it out.
Toxic flows stayed contained to their platform, no spread? Fine.
If my actions blew up across all SNS? Big problem. But this was still mostly baselessno panic needed.
More pressing was the urgent matter hitting me.
HHHyungnim!
Still like that, Yubin?
Cant leave the blanket!
Sighing, I eyed Heo Yubin, cocooned tight.
One day till Jos music show debut.
