Idol of the Heavenly One - Chapter 100.2
There is a short behind-the-scenes video, and I am going to watch it right away.
The production team said that the reaction filming had not yet finished, and they were showing the behind-the-scenes footage. The members looked puzzled by this unexpected situation. Usually, this kind of footage is shown after the first week of activities. I calmed my tears slightly and looked straight ahead again.
“What’s your dream?”
In the behind-the-scenes footage, the members were talking to the director during interviews about their dreams while filming the music video.
[Joo I-rip: My dream? Since I was young, my dream was to become an idol…… an idol?]
[Go Hee-min: Mine is to be a teacher. To teach children.]
[Lee Soonbok: A soldier. In the 707 unit.]
[Ji Myeong-hyeon: I, in front of the school……]
[Kwon Ji-hak: Hmm, well. I guess I haven’t really thought about it yet.]
The members were each talking about the dreams they had as children. Behind-the-scenes footage based on those dreams appeared on the screen.
Just as I wondered why Baek Jae-heon did not appear, a contemplative-looking Baek Jae-heon appeared.
[Baek Jae-heon: If it’s about a job, I don’t have one, but I did have such a dream.]
“What kind of dream was that?”
[Baek Jae-heon: When I was very young, there was someone who made me want to live.]
“Made you want to live?”
[Baek Jae-heon: Yes. So I wanted to find that person.]
“Did you find them?”
[Baek Jae-heon: Well. I guess I could say I found them. Hmm, I found half of them.]
“That’s a very vague answer. Are you disappointed you couldn’t find the other half?”
Since his appearance changed, that must be why he said half. It made me smile. Baek Jae-heon is always oddly precise in such matters.
[Baek Jae-heon: No. Instead, I found more valuable things, so it’s okay.]
“More valuable things?”
[Baek Jae-heon: Friends who guided me when I couldn’t adapt, friends I reached out to first to emulate, friends who moved toward goals with me, friends who gave me a breath of life, and even a friend as cute as a younger sibling. Those are more valuable things.]
“Are you talking about the members?”
[Baek Jae-heon: That could be, or it could not be.]
“Profound.”
Baek Jae-heon’s answer was not precise. This is because the members he referred to were from his first life. The friend who guided him must have been Joo I-rip. When Baek Jae-heon became a trainee at 13 and could not adapt, Joo I-rip, who had been a trainee for a year, reached out first to guide him. Since many kids came and went in the agency, Joo I-rip probably didn’t open his heart immediately. The two spent time together from ages 14 and 16 to 21 and 23. Then Baek Jae-heon died, and the cycle repeated. In this life, Baek Jae-heon joined two years ago, so there would be no memories with Joo I-rip. Therefore, the member he refers to may not be accurate.
Following Joo I-rip’s example from his first life, Baek Jae-heon would have reached out to Go Hee-min in his first or second life. Considering he told me not to mention what happened with the vocal teacher who harassed Go Hee-min before debut, it seems that incident left Go Hee-min deeply hurt and depressed. Baek Jae-heon likely reached out to him then.
He seemed to form a deep bond with Lee Soonbok every time. That is why he approached Lee Soonbok first this time as well.
After hearing this, the director probably worked out a specific storyline with Baek Jae-heon. That part did not appear on screen, but Baek Jae-heon must have requested the scene to be made that way. One thing puzzled me, though. Where was the reed field? I thought it would appear in the music video……? At that moment, the screen showed a wide reed field.
“…….”
And there I was, behind the familiar partition, seemingly working. A little later, as I was about to leave, I draped my jacket over my arm and stepped out from the partition. I noticed a small child in front of me. I poked the child’s cheek with my finger and smiled. The child chattered away while looking at me.
In the next scene, Baek Jae-heon appeared in that reed field. Wait, he wasn’t there when I was filming? I turned my body quickly to look at him, and Baek Jae-heon smiled and said:
“Please keep it a secret.”
