Idol Revive: If I Don't Debut, I'll Disappear
Chapter 167: Sixth Public Episode (2)

Chapter 167: Sixth Public Episode (2)

Although the Visual Unit had the lowest budget out of all units, they were still the most awaited unit to perform. That point even added more expectations for the participants — it would all come down to their skills and visuals, not the props and other things.

And they really didn’t disappoint the fans. Just with the performance alone of the first group, it was already top-tier.

– Vampire Daddy

– Ayumi Goddess, please suck my blood.

– My eyes are so full, but I need more.

– I just noticed that guy with the hair extension who won the MVP. Can someone tell me his name?

– It’s Xi Huan. Seriously, you don’t know him?

– You seem to know everyone hahaha. Thank you.

– Oh, the other team should just go home. We have the winner.

– Shut up.

At last, it was Rayen’s team’s turn. They wore the same outfits they wore during the MV. Rayen’s arm was practically naked — no, not just his arms; on his upper torso, two off-white fabrics draped on his shoulder, crossing over the chest part and shielding the sensitive body parts.

– Ahh, biceps. I’m drooling already.

– We have a full package here. Excellent singer, hardworking, good-looking and sexy. Where else can you find this type of guy? Here, in IdolRe! Let him debut!

– What kind of package is that? Why didn’t you include "bully" in the description?

– C’mon, you’re late to the news. He already shed that accusation.

– LOL, stupid believer.

Rayen watched the comment section gradually turn into a war zone. He kept reading his name and also the trios and Yeo Haru. No one really paid attention to the ongoing show anymore.

– #PricklesIsHereForRayen

– What kind of fandom name is that? Who came up with that? That’s why I can’t support Rayen. His fans are all nuts.

– Picking a fight with us again? It’s you, Yeo Haru’s fans, who have nuts for brains. Stop picking on us to elevate your idol.

– I haven’t even said anything.

– Yeah, Yeo Haru’s fan who doesn’t have a name. You’re just jealous.

– F*king crazy. Why would I be jealous of your cringey name?

– Yeah, Yeo Haru’s fan who doesn’t have a name. You’re just jealous.

– Yeah, Yeo Haru’s fan who doesn’t have a name. You’re just jealous.

– Report this guy for spamming. Crazy.

– Just stop commenting. They’re not really fans. They’re just here to start a fan war.

And since Rayen and Minho appeared close during their preparations for this round, it incited even more hate for him.

– How can he not be a bully when he was a close friend with a bully?

– So, what you’re saying is, if your friend is ugly, then you’re ugly too? Hahaha stop coming up with reasons to bring Rayen down.

– If he’s not, then he’s at least a bystander. How can he not know his friend was bullying another participant? They’re from the same group even.

– Is Rayen a CCTV?

Sigh.

’What a headache.’

This must be why his sponsors didn’t want him to associate with the three before. Even though he already proved his innocence, his name would keep on being dragged whenever they appeared together.

Thankfully, the performance finally started, shifting the audience’s attention back to the show.

...

Minji typed in the comment section, trying to disperse the ongoing fight currently happening.

’Sigh. These people...’

In the end, she couldn’t. So, instead of being incensed by the provocations coming from everyone’s side, she just closed the comment section.

At last, she could now breathe freely.

At the same time, the scene on the screen switched to the stage where Team Love Makers gathered. Huddled into a circle, they chanted the same line.

"Best of us!"

In this panel, everyone seemed to be close friends with each other. And even Rayen was smiling with everyone. How can they doubt this innocent smile?

’No way he’s a bully.’

Still, she was feeling regretful that she couldn’t attend this round’s live showing. She didn’t see Flower Garden post any call for registration at all.

’I wonder why...’

Anyways, since she couldn’t do anything about it, she didn’t dwell on it much anymore. Instead, she focused on watching the show.

She recalled how excited she was on watching the MV back then.

’I wonder how they will perform it?’

The lights on the screen dimmed. At the corner, the title of their song was displayed. Just then, a single firework flew through the darkness, exploding into a heart with an arrow shape.

"Break it."

The song officially started.

Having already heard the same song countless times, Minji was able to hum along with the music.

"Hello there. How are you?

Do you see what the world looks like?

It’s you!"

Since it was a rap, she really couldn’t follow along with the lyrics. Still, she bobbed her head up and down together with the beat.

Their performance right now was kind of similar to the MV, only altering some parts that couldn’t be entirely replicated onstage. She was glad that they didn’t change much. Not only did it look cinematic, their performance didn’t look scrimped.

Just the extravagant outfits and makeup alone spoke that everything was high-quality.

’It’s really so good to listen to. Too bad, it didn’t get much attention.’

Their MV still hadn’t passed the million mark yet, stagnating at more than 500 thousand views. She could only blame that person who was sabotaging Rayen. If not for that person, Rayen wouldn’t face any negative comments from other viewers.

"It hurts, it hurts, it hurts."

As if on cue, the lyrics also matched Minji’s feelings. Her heart felt a stabbing pain from the regret of not being able to help Rayen.

Transitioning into the chorus, the team gathered at the center of the magical-like stage. Rayen led them with his ethereal voice.

"Seeing you smile

I hear my heart shattering

Why are you so beautiful?

It’s driving me crazy."

Minji felt her heart fluttering with Rayen’s smile before he handed over the center position to Nana upon the start of the chorus.

"Oh, your laughter’s breaking my heart!

A-a-a-aww yeah!

Can you hear it?"

In sync, they all raised their hands into their ears as if trying to hear. Rayen’s expression was on point with every lyric — not too much, not too little.

"Shattering, shattering, shattering."

Although he was no longer at the center, Minji’s eyes were glued to him. His every move was imprinted in her mind.

’Why is he so handsome right now?’

She remembered the first time she saw Rayen. The thing about him that captivated her was his ethereal voice.

She did acknowledge his duality on and off the stage, and considered Rayen’s looks to be above average.

However, compared to the others, she did know his face looked plain. Yet now...

’Ah... I really can’t take my eyes off of him...’
