Idol Revive: If I Don't Debut, I'll Disappear
Chapter 112: Haru, Blink Thrice

Chapter 112: Haru, Blink Thrice

On Flower Garden Agency’s various social media accounts, the netizens watched out for their decision about the alleged bullying case.

On some K-pop forums and related matters, the fans gathered to gossip about the same matter. At the depths of the forum, a particular hate post was garnering a little bit of engagement.

[Will the Ra-yuck get kicked out?]

– He deserves it, tbh.

– Wishing for it.

– How many days do you think it will take? I bet 3 days.

>> I bet he wouldn’t appear at the live viewing of the second round.

>> I bet it’s tonight.

As though that comment was read by the heavens, Flower Garden finally announced their stance regarding the matter.

[This is Idol:Revive’s Director. In light of the rumor of a participant bullying, we have investigated the matter clearly and determined that the said participant isn’t involve in such matters. We humbly ask everyone to please refrain on spreading the false rumors.]

The only solution the Director could think of was to simply deny the matter. After all, Rayen didn’t really bully anyone.

As for Binh’s case, they would have to downplay it for now to try to salvage the situation. In truth... regarding Binh’s actions, the Director was keen on giving him a punishment even if the sponsors backed him up, but because of the recent incident, the matter had been pushed aside temporarily.

Now, it came back to haunt them in an unexpected way.

As expected, when haters become fixated with something, they would bite onto anything and wouldn’t let go.

– We want you to clear up the matter. Don’t just brush it off by saying he didn’t bully anyone. What about that recording then? You saying it’s fake?

>> Why not? You believe everything on the Internet? How stupid.

>> Then you believe everything an entertainment company is saying? PR is the best they can do.

>> Stupid, the recording is clearly edited.

>> You’re stupid. Everything on the internet is edited. I believe what I want to believe.

>> Are you really an idiot? Can you only think from one side?

>> You’re the idiot. Blindly believing an unknown trainee and entertainment company.

– Is Ra-yuck backed by someone powerful?

– Oh right, maybe FG is afraid of his sponsors. Afterall, what could Immortals do against Vallenci’s CEO?

– Weed Garden (thumbs down)

– All this people. Why won’t you just believe an official statement?

>> Official ≠ Truth. We want truth.

>> You want truth, but you only believe what you want.

Just then, Flower Garden suddenly started a livestream. Since the participant’s had no social media accounts currently, they could only use the official account of the company.

[Flower Garden LIVE 00:01]

Instantly, the live viewer counts rose to the ceiling, numbering to a hundred thousand viewers.

For a newly established company just a month ago, to receive this much attention, it was a very good count already. And the number hadn’t stopped increasing too.

The comments section was almost bursting from the viewer’s comments that each couldn’t even be read anymore with the naked eye. Rayen was already feeling dizzy by the fast scrolling. He stopped paying attention to it.

In his previous life, he had never initiated a livestream before. Thankfully, one of the staff members controlling the stream enabled to Slow Mode.

Now that he was thinking about it, their company was truly bad at doing fanservice and PR.

Finally, Rayen could read the comments.

– What’s this? What’s this?

– There’s only white. What is this about, Flower Garden?

– Are they streaming how they would kick out Ra-yuck? Nice, FG.

Disappearing from the comment section entirely, the last user who commented was put on a timeout by the moderator. The words Ra-yuck also didn’t appear again too.

Rayen sighed in relief.

’What a kind moderator.’

The two hadn’t yet made an entrance, so the only thing the viewers could see was the interior of the interview room.

Director nodded at them to finally walk in the frame. Yeo Haru walked in without hesitation, while Rayen followed after him.

Enabling his camera mode on, Yeo Haru showed an expression befitting of the current situation and sat on one of the stools.

If the comment section hadn’t been put into a slow mode, Rayen vision would be twirling in dizziness.

– Oh, it’s Rayen and Haru!

– Baby Haru, are you fine? Why are you with him?

– Go away from him, Haru!

When Yeo Haru read these comments from the monitor facing them, Yeo Haru flashed a sad smile. Rayen stared at him.

’How sly. Is this really the guy who easily cried in front of us?’

"Please, don’t say that to my brother," Yeo Haru said, his voice tinged with sadness. "He didn’t bully me at all. In fact, he has been kind to me throughout the show. See? Does he look like a bad person to you?"

His words weren’t an act right now. Yeo Haru truly said what he wanted to say. However, it still wasn’t enough to convince his solo fans.

– Haru, blink thrice if Flower Garden and Rayen is forcing you to say this.

– What about the recording?

– Guys, stop hating Rayen. Stop hating Rayen. Stop hating Rayen.

"That recording is obviously fake. The agency also cleared this up. Please, don’t say anything bad to my brother."

Rayen remained silent while watching this guy act so guilt-stricken. Truthfully, Rayen didn’t need to appear on this stream at all, but he thought it wouldn’t look good if only Yeo Haru was here.

– Rayen’s threatening Haru with his gaze again. Please, don’t believe him.

Finally, Yeo Haru laughed loudly. It looked so sincere that even the fans were dumbfounded.

"What the hell are you saying? Is my brother so fierce looking to all of you?" Yeo Haru looked Rayen. "That’s just his default look, you know."

Rayen’s lips twitched. He couldn’t help it just now. But that minimal gesture never evaded the fans’ sharp gazes.

– Look, he’s pissed.

– Haru, just blink thrice.

Yeo Haru looked at Rayen with a questioning look.

’What are you doing? You’re ruining it!’ Yeo Haru signaled with his gaze.

Rayen chuckled wryly.

"Sorry. I’m just... sad," Rayen said, hiding his face.

Yeo Haru laughed weakly and turned back to the camera. Suddenly, some fans stopped commenting.

’Why does it feel like it’s Rayen being threatened here?’
