Idol Revive: If I Don't Debut, I'll Disappear-Chapter 346: Mr. Min (1)

Rayen massaged his temples at Lee Seoha's endless bawling. Honestly, he just wanted to stuff the silk ball back in her mouth to stop her, but he wasn't that evil to do so. She might even choke if he did that.

'She hates me? Oh, right. She kept saying she hates me right from the start.'

Sighing, he waited until Lee Seoha calmed down enough to continue speaking.

"It's because of you... H-How can you survive but the participant I chose did not?"

Finally, it dawned on him.

"So you're that kind of fan..."

"Why?! Is it bad for me to idolize someone?!"

"No, it's not bad for you to support the other candidates, but hating on us for surviving and trying to harm us because of it, isn't that unfair?" Rayen said.

Lee Seoha was still unconvinced, though. She remained glaring at the Minstrels, especially at Rayen.

"We did everything to survive. We earned the right to debut. What happened to the others is unfortunate, but you can't blame us for surviving."

"You earned the right to survive?" Lee Seoha said with a mocking smile.

Rayen raised one of his brows at her reaction.

"Ara also has that right! She was among the top runners!"

Rayen blinked his eyes in surprise.

'Ara?'

"She's the coolest among everyone! She had the right to debut! I know it! But suddenly, you announced to us that she was eliminated?! How ridiculous!"

"....."

"You didn't even tell us what happened! You just tried to shrug us off and said you'll offer us compensation for the petals we used to sponsor her! But we didn't even receive anything!"

This time, Rayen could no longer say anything. He glanced at Xu Jiji and Yeo Haru, who were also looking at him.

Once again, Rayen massaged his temples. His head was aching.

Only Gil was left clueless about the situation. He glanced left and right at the screaming Lee Seoha and the Minstrels, unable to understand what was going on.

Just then, Yeo Haru also stepped forward.

"Are you an airhead?" Yeo Haru said, shutting Lee Seoha up. "You're blaming us for the management's failure."

Xu Jiji also backed up his words. "You know, it's not our fault we debuted. It's also not our fault that Sis Ara disappeared. It's even less our fault that the agency wasn't able to compensate you for your loss."

Lee Seoha stared at them hatefully.

"And yet, you point the blame at us," Rayen also said, sighing in disbelief.

"Bro, let's not waste our time talking to this airhead," Yeo Haru said.

His words irked Lee Seoha more. "I'm not an airhead!"

"If you're not an airhead, what are you?" Yeo Haru asked.

"I—"

"Oh, yes. I think I know now. You're an anti-fan."

"....."

"Bro, let's just hand her over to the higher-ups. Besides, didn't she also say she wanted to see that other girl?"

Rayen glanced at him questioningly.

"It's perfect since she can just spend the time together with her in custody."

"....."

'He's truly back in his element, alright.'

Once again, Rayen sighed.

"Alright. Let me explain one more thing to her, though."

"Okay."

Yeo Haru and Xu Jiji finally stepped back, handing the matter back to Rayen.

"Just like what Haru said, it's not our fault that Ara disappeared. Actually, an accident happened back then with one of the other participants. And Ara... she became one of the casualties in this incident."

Upon hearing this, Lee Seoha's eyes widened. "W-What?"

"So, blame that participant instead of us."

Lee Seoha looked down, her expression dazed. "Who?"

"Oh Heejun."

"Oh Heejun..."

Rayen also stepped back, unwilling to listen to her ramblings anymore.

Now, this matter should be over.

Rayen settled everything by contacting Zi Xu. They couldn't just let go of Lee Seoha after what they did, but they also couldn't bring her by themselves. They lack the ability to do it covertly. So, it would be best to hand over these matters to the experts.

But now that he knew the reason for this incident that nearly killed him a second time, Rayen felt bummed. He wanted to go home now.

'Well, it's probably Plotter's karma.'

Since that person didn't settle this matter cleanly, it almost cost Rayen's life, which Plotter prevented by exchanging his own.

'Ha! Just thinking about it leaves a bitter taste in my mouth!'

Rayen forcefully shoved down this feeling.

One hour later, Zi Xu and Clandestine both appeared to take Lee Seoha.

After that, Rayen also discussed the club matters to Gil and the two youngest members of the group, completely handing everything over. He had dropped out and achieved the goal they came for in this school already, so these matters were no longer a concern to him.

But he didn't leave right away. Gil suggested that he meet their club adviser first before completely leaving.

Rayen agreed as he was also curious. After all, Adrian said that the person who tried to save Yeo Haru in his first life but failed had the same name as their club adviser. He wanted to confirm if they were the same person.

After school, the person finally visited their club room.

"Mr. Min," Gil called to their class adviser. "These are my clubmates. They just came back today."

Mr. Min turned to the three Minstrels.

"Oh, it's you," Mr. Min was pleasantly surprised.

"Hello, Sir," Xu Jiji and Rayen greeted.

Beside them, Yeo Haru only stared at him.

As Mr. Min met Yeo Haru's gaze, he smiled awkwardly.

Ever since their class earlier, Yeo Haru had been staring at him this hard, which made him quite uncomfortable.

Rayen sensed the awkwardness that Mr. Min was feeling, so he stepped up to break the ice.

"Mr. Min Beom, nice to meet you again!" Rayen extended his hands toward Mr. Min.

Mr. Min shifted his gaze away from Yeo Haru toward his hand. However, he only stared at it, not taking it.

Rayen tilted his head in confusion. "Mr. Min?"

Mr. Min looked up at him as his name was called.

"Excuse me, but what did you call me?"

"Eh?"
