★ The Second Life Idols Lucky Plan – Chapter 176
[Hyung, you don't have too. It's enough to have come this far.]
[That's right, you don't have to force yourself."
Kang Hyun-jin received skydiving training with the members and stood together in front of the aircraft. However, when it came time to get on the plane, he got scared and froze.
Therefore, the members watching Kang Hyun-jin closely asked for understanding from the staff and approached Kang Hyun-jin.
However, despite the members' dissuasion, Kang Hyun-jin took a deep breath and shook his head.
[I also want to keep what I promised. Before this activity, I just need to calm down... ... .]
["It is true that keeping promises is important. But I don't think your teacher would want you to go to these lengths."]
["That's right. I'm asking you to have fun together, but if you're not happy, it's a D minus!"]
["Yes, Hyunjin. In fact, he probably doesn't like it when you force yourself to run like that."]
["But what we promised was group skydiving... ... . I don't want to cause trouble. I think it would be better to fly."]
However, despite the members' dissuasion, Kang Hyun-jin looked hesitant.
YourOne, puzzled by the appearance of Kang Hyun-jin, who felt scared but also seemed somewhat nervous, suddenly guessed when the video was filmed and realized why he was going to such lengths to try to set the mood.
-Is this really because of the drama?
-he went to hell just a few days ago. If you think about when this was filmed, I think it was filmed before the further revelations of the "situation."
-oh crazy... I guess Hyunjin was conscious of it.
The suspicion of being the beneficiary of the recently concluded <Catch Talent> manipulation arose when OneDear prepared for a comeback. In other words, it coincided perfectly with when OneDear filmed their comeback show video.
In an extremely turbulent atmosphere due to suspicions against them, they gathered to keep their promises to their fans and unite ahead of Sensibility activities.
["I've come this far, so I'll do my best."]
Therefore, Kang Hyun-jin seemed to think he had to overcome his fear and adapt to the members. That would have been the 'best' Kang Hyun-jin could do at the time when his heart was burdened.
["Still... ... ."]
["Hmm... ... ."]
Although he strongly claimed that he could do it, the members, seeing his pale face and trembling hands, could not easily take Kang Hyun-jin on board the light plane.
["... It was a pledge for all OneDear members to fly... Then how about doing it this way?"]
Won Yoo-ha, who was watching the scene, seemed to remember something, and the very next thing he did was leave the members and run.
["... ... ?"]
["Where are you going, Yoo-ha?"]
Although the members were confused by the sudden departure, Won Yoo-ha returned shortly after and held out something before Kang Hyun-jin.
And the moment they confirmed the identity of what was in Won Yoo-ha's hand, the members burst into laughter.
["Why did you bring that?"]
["I will take a proofshot to show to YourOne."]
Won Yoo-ha took it out. It was a photo card for the 2nd mini album.
The actual album and its components were used during Comte's mini-game, and Won Yoo-ha appears to have brought the photo card he used back then to the skydiving center.
["If I jump with this, my Hyung jumped with me."]
["That seems a bit like a stretch... ... ."]
["Hyung, it's not that I don't want you to fly. Even if you want to jump, you can't."]
["... ... ."]
[It's inevitable to be scared. It's good if you overcome it, but it's okay if you don't force yourself to overcome it. Please do as much as you can. Because that will put both us and our fans at ease."]
Kang Hyun-jin hesitated momentarily at Won Yoo-ha's words and then carefully nodded. At that sight, a smile appeared on the corner of Yoo-ha's mouth, revealed under the goggles.
["Then please support me."]
["That's right, Hyung, protect the land we shall protect the skies~!"]
["My Hyung greets us and is the first to welcome us when we come down!"]
Kang Hyun-jin eventually nodded along with the members' words, and finally, Won Yoo-ha's skydiving scene was highlighted once again.
Won Yoo-ha, who flew freely through the sky and landed on the ground, took out Kang Hyun-jin's photo card from his clothes pocket and presented it to him.
Immediately after, the video ended with the subtitle "Anet supports OneDear's 2nd album promotions!" under the image of OneDear taking a commemorative photo with their respective photo cards with bright smiles.
And after watching the video, YourOne couldn't help but feel as if their hearts had been stolen.
As they did with <Design Your Idol>, the broadcasters didn't miss out on a seemingly good story and ended up reviving it with a behind-the-scenes video.
-What do you think of a leader who always pretends to be indifferent and strict, but actually understands and cares more than any of his members? BECAUSE I LOVE HIM AND COULD DEFEND HIM FOREVER.
-If there is someone who, even after watching this video, disputes that Won Yoo-ha is the true leader, that person is a psychopath.
-YourOne is here, crying after watching the behind-the-scenes video~
-The leader who jumps with a member's photo on his chest, the members who ask if they're really okay and then don't take them on a plane because they think they're not, or the member who feels sorry for that.. I'm touched.
On the one hand, it was because the moment YourOne saw the members being considerate of each other outside of the skit, I felt touched.
This incident was a blow to Kang Hyun-jin, but when it came to the thought that Kang Hyun-jin and the members would have been considerate of each other, overcome the controversy, and prepared for activities just as they did during the skydiving, YourOne naturally had no choice but to promise one thing.
-I want to send these amazing boys to the No. 1 terrestrial broadcasting station and make them shed tears of emotion.
-I think this sacrifice will make this activity successful. Let's prove that happiness comes with hard work.
-Whoever has free hands~ Let's go streaming and buy the album~^^ Let's look at another pledge~
-what are you all doing? prepare to stream. 1st place #LETSGO
- OneDear: Please feel that we love YourOne through Sensibility...ㅠ Please listen to this song and feel the love for YourOne..
YourOne: Of course, I will listen to it. Our OneDear is asking us to do it. Get ready to go to number one~ ^^
Let's somehow give back the emotion.
That's how OneDear's second album activities began. YourOne, who has prepared a solemn heart ahead of the schedules to be released in the future, could not hide excitement the moment the confirmed first schedule of OneDear's activity period was released.
[Hello, this is 'Idol Night' host Baek Yi-hyun.]
[Hello, this is 'Idol Night' host Won Yoo-ha. Nice to meet you, listeners. Thank you for coming to listen today.]
[Ah, you seem to be in a really good mood already? Yoo-ha, what's going on?]
[I'm a little embarrassed to say this, but I guess I was actually looking forward to today too much. Of course, I believe it's not just me.]
[You're right. I also thought I would really like to invite these people since they are so familiar. Since our precious host, Yoo-ha, and our listeners have been waiting for a long time, I don't think we should delay any longer. Shall we start right away?]
[Today's guest, OneDear. Welcome.]
The 'family workplace visit' that many educational institutions had been looking forward to took place.

"... Isn't it a bit excessive?"
"It's style."
I expressed my astonishment at the sight of Cheon Se-rim wearing sunglasses at night. Nevertheless, Serim Cheon shrugged his shoulders and lifted the sunglasses resting on his nose's bridge even closer.
"Hyung, I heard you're anti Baek Yi-hyun."
"... ... ."
"We have to rescue anti-fans."
He's not the kind of guy who gets discouraged by things like strict fashion.
'... No, in the first place, is there something in the world that can kill that guy's pride?'
That thought occurred to me, but I decided not to express my skepticism and let Se-rim Cheon do whatever he wanted. Anyway, that's probably half a joke.
"Anti? Aren't you and senior Baek Yi-hyun close brothers?"
Yu Chan-hee, listening to the conversation between me and Cheon Se-rim, suddenly tilted his head and asked.
Cheon Se-rim glanced in my direction as if asking if he could talk, so I roughly answered.
"It is true that we are from the same orphanage. But I'm not a fan, so know that."
Ju Dan-woo, Aiden Lee, and Kang Hyun-jin, who shared the same room during the third contest of <Design Your Idol>, and Cheon Se-rim, who heard the story through a message late, knew that I didn't like Baek Yi-hyun.
'I'm sure you all know that I hate Baek Yi-hyun, but suddenly an argument broke out that Baek Yi-hyun and I were from the same orphanage and were older and younger brothers who missed each other.'
As they watched Baek Yi-hyun eventually transfer to KRM, these four people guessed that there was something complicated between Baek Yi-hyun and me.
However, Do Ji-hyuk and Yu Chan-hee, who had not yet heard the story about him, would not have known that the close relationship between Baek Yi-hyun was a setting that only took place under strict business conditions.
'There's no need to explain every detail. Giving a rough idea would be better.'
Because Baek Yi-hyun is not the type of person you would enjoy being close to.
"It seems like you don't like Baek Yi-hyun very much."
"Yeah."
It was the moment when I said yes to what Do Ji-hyuk, who was listening to the story in the front seat, said.
"Hmm, I see. I'm glad... ... ."
"... ... ?"
Do Ji-hyuk muttered in a tone that seemed to have struck a nerve somewhere.
'... What?'
I couldn't help but feel suspicious of Do Ji-hyuk looking out the window with an innocent face. Do Ji-hyuk's somewhat reluctant attitude bothered me.
"Hyung, is there anything you and Baek Yi-hyun..." ... ."
'So, I'll just ask.'
"Members, we have arrived."
"Guys, let's get down."
'Dang it.'
As the car arrived in the parking lot, I naturally had no choice but to keep my mouth shut.
At the same time, I got out of the car without delay for the fans who had gathered to take pictures of me on the way to work, and I ended up having to postpone asking about him until another opportunity.
That question could be solved in a short amount of time.
* * *
"This is my first time greeting the members in person like this, except for Aiden."
Before the live broadcast started, Baek Yi-hyun came to the waiting room to say hello.
Baek Yi-hyun naturally entered the room and greeted the members with a sly smile. At the same time, he looked towards Aiden Lee, whom he barely knew, and Aiden Lee, who had been watching him as if examining him, smiled at him.
"Ahaha, it's been a while~ I hope you've been well, senior."
"Thanks to you, I had a good time. I'm glad Aiden is doing well, too."
"Hello, senior! Please take care of me today!"
It was Yu Chan-hee who immediately stiffened and greeted him with a snap.
Baek Yi-hyun is an idol far behind the rookie OneDear and has a career that trainees have no reason not to envy. Because of this, Yu Chan-hee seemed a bit emotional.
Baek Yi-hyun lightly waved his hand to dissuade Yu Chan-hee, then looked at us and continued speaking.
"Oh, you don't have to greet me too stiffly. Since you are members of Yoo-ha's group, there is no reason for me to be your senior here. What more... ... ."
And when the guy's eyes turned somewhere, I could see why Do Ji-hyuk seemed reluctant to look at Baek Yi-hyun.
"... He also has the same motivation as me for debuting. It's been a while, Jihyuk."
Baek Yi-hyun, a 6-year senior idol.
Do Ji-hyuk, who had six years of experience but re-debuted as OneDear.
These two were already acquaintances.
