Idol Revive: If I Don't Debut, I'll Disappear-Chapter 328: Mad Dogs and Middle School Cults

Two weeks had passed without hearing anything from the members of SEEDZ or the Flower Garden Agency.

Once again, Flower Garden Agency was filled with countless protest emails, but still, no response came from them.

[Are they dead?]

[Can we consider this a hiatus from them?]

The fans also tried to visit the agency building in person, trying to chance upon anyone from inside. However, the building seemed to be deserted. Not a soul could be seen from the inside, nor did anyone come outside at all.

[Were they spirited away?]

[Did Weed Garden face bankruptcy and decide to run away with their unsettled debts?]

– It really was too weird. How come a small company has so much money?

– This really must be the true reason.

– But how come even the members disappeared?

– This is abuse! This is neglect! Flower Garden boycott!

– How can you even boycott them when they haven't even released anything?

This unusual silence triggered the fans.

[Rising Stars Festival. Who's going to check on them?]

– Can we really see the boys here?

– We don't know. But why not go? Its open campus too.

– Let's go. Let's go. Gyeongwon is home to cute kids. Maybe I can spot another talent that won't abandon me after I helped them debut.

– #ColdheartedRayen

– Haha.

Rayen Bias Edens were truly pitiful in this regard.

At the same time, a new notice appeared in the EntiRoom.

[URGENT!

We are calling for every Entity. On the upcoming Gyeongwon Founding Festival, we are asking everyone to attend the festival's performance as a guest.

This is a mass gathering. Everyone who arrives will receive a bonus for this month.

Sincerely yours,

Overseer of Scribes]

– Gyeongwon Founding Festival?

– What's that?

– It's a school festival in Korea. I've been following SEEDZ's channel, and I heard they were going to participate.

– I heard they disappeared. I thought something bad happened.

– Is the system suspension related to them?

– Oh, oh. A vacation and a bonus? This is bliss! I'll definitely go!

...

And so, when the day of the festival came, the students who were busy with their own booths couldn't help but sense something.

They looked around, and the whole campus was filled with people who were browsing in different stalls.

"Weird. Is it a bit too crowded?"

"I see so many foreigners too."

"The festival seems lively this year..."

Suddenly, a shout caught the students' attention.

"I've seen something crazy outside!"

"What?"

Outside Gyeongwon University gates, people with green lightsticks have gathered. Each of them was shouting.

"We demand to see SEEDZ!"

"Where's Jiji? Where's Rayen? Where's Haru? Where's Adrian? Where's all of SEEDZ!?"

"Where?! Where?! Where?!"

"GRRRR!!!"

All the students manning the booths inside the university watched the scene with curious eyes.

"Why are they protesting in our university?"

"SEEDZ? Aren't those the idols that just debuted? Are they here in our school?"

"You haven't heard? Some members of SEEDZ have become students in our school. The lab accident was even caused by one of them."

"Ah..."

Just then, a kind passerby said, "I think I've seen them."

The ears of Edens, who have very good hearing, pricked up. "Where?!"

The kind passerby was a student of Gyeongwon University. He stepped back after seeing the mad look on Eden's face. These Edens looked like crazy dogs that had just smelled delicious meat, already salivating before they could even see it.

"T-There." The student pointed inside the campus grounds.

Everyone's head turned toward the direction and saw a booth being crowded by people with green lightsticks.

'Another batch of Edens?!

However, this batch was weirder than the mad dogs. They looked like middle school kids, but they kept on chanting a weird phrase over and over again.

"SEEDLEUJAH!"

"SEEDLEUJAH!"

"SEEDLEUJAH!"

At the center of these middle school Edens, they spotted a yellow head that was especially eye-catching, being one head taller than the Edens, who were crowding the booth.

Traitors!

How come these Edens didn't even inform them that they already spotted SEEDZ?!

The rest of the Edens hurriedly went toward the booth. The already big crowd surrounding the booth grew even bigger.

Being under the cameras of many Edens, Yeo Haru's repressed instinct for so many days now was suddenly unleashed.

Flash, flash, flash.

Seedlelujah, Seedlelujah, Seedlelujah.

How could Yeo Haru reject this?

As the flashes went by, Yeo Haru posed on time. What a skill! His glum mood for the past few weeks since the nightmare accident thoroughly vanished.

The other members of SEEDZ were also behind him, getting their fair share of attention. Fortunately, Flower Garden had accounted for this and requested a few guards around them.

After being away for so long, it wasn't really unexpected for the love of the fans to become this intense.

By the side, Yoo Gyeo was left without anyone noticing him. He raised the microphone in his hand.

"H-Hello... Please don't crowd around the b-booth."

This voice suddenly broke the happy atmosphere surrounding the Edens.

Who dared interrupt their reunion with SEEDZ?

When they turned to look in Yoo Gyeo's direction, their sharp eyes immediately softened.

This shorty actually looked good.

Okay, forgiven!

"F-Fellow fans, please line up in front of the box in front of me. Write your name on the piece of paper provided by us. L-Later, we will hold a draw to be able to hold a selfie with each member!"

The eyes of the Edens shone.

What a gift! They just went here to try and chance upon the members of SEEDZ, yet they actually got a chance to take a selfie with each of the members and have them sign the printed copy?

This was one of the strategies of SEEDZ as a sorry gesture from hiding lately.

Hehe... It's not enough to be forgiven, but it's acceptable.

After the Edens lined up, the draw lots followed suit. Twenty fans had been chosen for the selfie slots.

The chosen fans lined up before each member of SEEDZ.

The scene of twenty lucky fans provoked some jealousy among the unchosen Edens. The mad dogs could only salivate and grit their teeth at the same time.

Of course, the team had also accounted for this happening. Once the selfie session had ended, they held a mini fan meeting to appease the other fans. They couldn't just neglect the others.

"Where did you all go? Why haven't we heard from you for so many days?"

"Rayen, you're so cold-hearted! Why haven't you posted anything even until now?!"

Rayen and the other members scratched their cheeks in embarrassment.

"You're still not forgiven!"

"Yeah! Yeah! You have to make up to us!"

Adrian took on this chance and grabbed a microphone from Yoo Gyeo.

"Ehem. Ehem."

The Edens stopped complaining to listen to him.

Adrian's proper hand-washing lesson is starting.

So, how to hand-wash properly?

1. Of course, wet your hands first with water to prepare them.

"I'm very sorry for everything, Edens."

2. Make sure that all of the mud is rinsed off and goes down into the sink.

"Due to some troubles..."

'Not our fault! It's the company's!'

"... We haven't been able to take care of you more. For that, we're very sorry."

3. After making sure that no mud is left, use soap. Hands are often sensitive, so use a mild soap. Offer something soothing to the skin, something that would make it softer.

"And so, we prepared a small performance for you later at night during the Festival Performances."

4. Make sure that the soap will thoroughly cover all of your hands, from every crook and cranny. Then, rinse it with water again.

"This performance was made possible with our sweat, blood, and tears."

5. Lastly, dry your hands clean.

Adrian put his palms together. The other members also followed suit.

"We hope everyone will like it and that you'll forgive us after watching this performance!"

This was the first time Adrian had taken a mic and spoken so many words. It had long been known how lazy he was, so these long, flowery words truly seemed to evoke sincerity.

The Edens couldn't watch their idols begging for so long and finally forgave them.

Actually, there was also a hidden step after the 5th step of Adrian's proper hand washing guide.

6. Optional: Use a hand cream after!

At the end of the gathering, SEEDZ and Edens took some groufies together which had been printed on the spot by the members of Healing Arts Club and given to each of the fans together with some snacks before dispersing.

Gyeongwon Founding Festival is truly amazing!

After accommodating the last fan who won the slot for the fan meet, the members of SEEDZ all stood up.

"We still have a performance later. Please support us!"

Once the fan meet was over, the members of SEEDZ were escorted by the guards to the backstage area of Gyeongwon University Circle. This was where the festival performances would be held.

During the afternoon, once the sun was about to set, the performances were also just about to start. The stage lights all turned on, shining upon the hosts.
