Idol Revive: If I Don't Debut, I'll Disappear-Chapter 325: Mama Rayen And The Two Ducklings Did Not Go To School

After the meeting concluded, they left, passing by the empty office area and finally arriving in the lobby. There, three people were doing their own things.

Misty was by the reception desk and browsing on her phone, while Gil and Son Areum were curiously looking at the surroundings.

Rayen's steps gradually slowed down. Gil and Son Areum soon noticed them and approached the group.

"Well, you left us all hanging..." Gil complained.

Rayen laughed awkwardly. "Haha."

"Who're these guys?" Adrian asked.

"They're the Entities we recruited."

The members of SEEDZ glanced at the two curiously.

"I heard you're in terrible spots," Gil said. "So? what about the club now? Is the club going to be disbanded? And the performance? The proposal's due tomorrow!"

Gil was regretting it now. Why did he have to quit the Elite Club and join these guys? They're completely unreliable!

Now, he doesn't even have a home to come back to.

'Slow down...'

Rayen wanted to say that, but he stopped himself and just waited for Gil to calm down.

"I tried to contact you, I swear. It's just that I don't know how."

"So, what's the plan?" Gil sighed, deciding to forgive Rayen for now.

"Don't worry, the performance is still going to continue."

"Oh?"

Rayen explained the team's situation to Gil.

"If that's the case, how do you plan to do this?"

Suddenly, Adrian also stepped in. He was the leader, after all.

"The original plan was this..."

Everything had turned into another meeting. It continued on until late at night. Once Gil and Son Areum noticed the time, Gil requested to just continue the discussion online. They also had to head home!

"So, how do we contact each other?" Rayen asked.

"Give me your SNS. Let's add each other."

Son Areum's eyes lit up. "That's a good idea!"

She could show that she was friends with Rayen to Lee Seoha, and she would probably praise her. In a sense, Son Areum was similar to Miles in character.

However, as the two Unaffiliated Entities looked at Rayen, he could only smile awkwardly.

Well... How could he say it?

Aside from creating his hater account, he still hadn't created another one. It had totally slipped his mind.

Gil seemed to have guessed his thoughts.

"Don't tell me... You don't have any registered SNS yet? Aren't you an idol? How do you even treat your fans?"

"... I have. But I only have a Y and IdolVerse account."

"You don't have any MilkTalk?"

"Not yet..."

"Y would do. What's the username? I'll follow you."

As Rayen pulled out his phone and navigated to his Y account, he resisted the urge to twitch his mouth. When he saw that familiar username again, he refused to even look at it and directly showed the screen to Gil and Son Areum.

The two read the username and looked at each other. Then, without saying anything, they quietly searched the account on their phones and followed it.

Gil tucked his phone back in his pocket.

"We'll be relying on you to pass the proposal to Ms. Jin."

"Okay."

With that, the two left the agency together with Misty. SEEDZ also went upstairs to their dorms.

"Eureka, you've truly changed! Your face have thickened so much. I'm so proud of you!"

"Shut up."

"You know? You could have just given our account."

Hearing that, Rayen's steps halted. He glanced at Adrian.

'Why didn't you remind me earlier?!'

Reading his thoughts from his expression, Adrian chuckled and then left him behind.

...

Minji was once again at Seoyun's house, lazing around. But today, Seoyun was the one who insisted. They did not have any upcoming exams at all, so she couldn't be strict with herself.

There were times for fangirling, and there were times for being students. This was not the time for the latter.

Especially as the University Series' third episode will arrive.

This University Series had started at the same time the three units had been deployed to different areas for their mission. The mission of the other two units was to feed the fans content while preparing them for the upcoming Mass Cleansing on the Rising Stars festival.

Out of her love for her best friend, Minji could only agree to stay with Seoyun. However, she wasn't that enthusiastic about this series at all. Even though it was still SEEDZ's content, it had greatly disappointed her because its contents were only about Units 2 and 3.

There were nothing about Rayen at all!

Minji browsed through the latest posts regarding the series. Most were screenshots from Gyeongwon's forums from its students.

[I'm a student of Mr. Hass. I promise, he's not scary at all! In fact, Big Newz's class is scarier.]

[Today's sermon from Pastor Big Newz. "Worship SEEDZ in your heart, for they would bring you eternal peace." #Blessed]

– Seedlelujah! Today's class enlightened me as to why SEEDZ's songs are so emotional!

– Seedlelujah! I really can't help but cry whenever I hear Don Juan. I'm still wondering who's Don Juan. Is he an apostle in our religion?

– (Blessed emoji)

– Worship SEEDZ. Seedlelujah!

– What the hell is with this post?

[You get classes? All we do in KLi's class is stare into the air...]

– You are welcome to join us in our worship service, fellow Eden.

– Heck, no way. You guys in class 1-C are creepy.

[Today in art class, we were supposed to find a muse for our painting. Anyway, here's my muse. (Navin_sleeping_in_class.jpg)]

– (salivating emoji)

– You found a good muse! Let me save this!

– Everyone chose Navin as their muse. Here's my version! (Navin_sleeping_in_class_seductive_version.jpg)

– Here's mine too! (Navin_sleeping_in_class_abstract_version.jpg)

– That's Navin?

Then, Minji came across a clip from the University Series.

It was a scene shot in Gyeongwon Circle. Beside a beautiful fountain, the platinum-haired Iris was standing and looking at a student that was in front of her.

[Comrade Iris, why do you look so beautiful? Will you marry me?]

Do take note, this student was a man. And Iris...

Well...

[I'm sorry, but I'm also a man.]

She had thoroughly embraced her life as a fake man.

Then, one of Xi Huan's IdolVerse posts also came across Minji's feed.

[Huan_SEEDZ

Tada! Here's me in a science lab! (Xi_Huan_launching_a_party_popper_inside_a_science_lab.jpg)]

– Navin_SEEDZ: Stop causing trouble. You can't bring in party poppers in the lab.

– Iris_SEEDZ: It's too late. I saw the professor dragging Xi Huan just now.

Unfortunately, Minji found nothing about Rayen's unit at all. Edens who are Rayen, Xu Jiji, and Yeo Haru Bias were all deeply saddened by their absence.

Minji couldn't help but feel sour inside.

"Bah... I miss Rayen," she exclaimed.

"Don't worry, Navin said he might appear later in the series." Seoyun tried to comfort her.

"But it's already so long!"

"Don't lose hope!"

'You can only say that because you can see your bias every week. While me...'

Aside from having no news about Unit 1, Rayen was also dead on the internet. No social media accounts, no live broadcasts in the UCube channel or in IdolVerse.

Among the other members' IdolVerse accounts, only Rayen's feed was still empty.

How cold-hearted! How could he even treat his fans this way?!

Fortunately, she caught some news about the situation of Unit 1, too — although not from the official sources.

[Unit 1 on Gyeongwon Affiliated High School Spotted!

Since Unit 1 is so heartless, here's some inside scoop from your fellow Gyeongwon High School Edens.]

– Whaa! You saved my day!

– Update: Haru looks so obedient at school... (Selfie_with_Haru.jpg)

– Update: I'm one of Jiji's classmates. He's hardworking. He even takes care of the youngest. Always giving him notes at the end of the class. (Jiji_giving_Haru_notes.jpg)

– Update: Mama Rayen is busy taking care of the children. Please understand him for not posting at all. (Rayen_taking_Jiji_and_Haru_to_school_Monday.jpg), (Rayen_taking_Jiji_and_Haru_to_school_Tuesday.jpg)(Rayen_taking_Jiji_and_Haru_to_school_Wednesday.jpg)

Minji's lips laughed-cry because of these little bits of crumbs that she finally encountered. However, her good mood did not last that long as she continued to read through the comments.

– I've been experiencing a Haru drought for the past few days on IdolVerse! Any news?

– Haru had stopped updating us all of a sudden. Did he also catch the Rayen's disease?

– Rayen's disease is so strong!

– Update: Mama Rayen and the two ducklings did not go to school. No pictures today.

The tears on the corners of Minji's eyes that were on the verge of falling finally fell.

No more Rayen?!

Eventually, she calmed herself. Looking at the clock, it was 6 PM.

Minji glanced at Seoyun. "Is it out?"

"Huh? Oh." Seoyun also looked at the clock. "I almost forgot."

She was too busy browsing that she didn't even notice the time. However, just as she went to UCube, even though she tried to refresh SEEDZ's Official channel, no new video appeared.

Was it just late?

"Not yet. They'd probably release it late. Let's wait for a few more minutes."

However...

"It's been half an hour. It's still not out?"

Seoyun was frowning.

This was strange. Even during the survival show, the update release was always timely.

And when the University Series was first introduced, there was a clear schedule released too. Every episode would always be out exactly at 6 PM. Yet now...

Even after one hour passed. There's nothing.

Two hours, there's still nothing. The hours became an entire night. Yet there's still no release. Not even an announcement was made.

What's happening?
