ID Chapter 11

1.

“Hyung, how was the recording today? That idol… did he look okay?”

“No, not at all.”

“As expected. There’s no way he’d be okay after something like that. Even on screen, I could tell he was getting thinner.”

“He looked even thinner in person.”

“Oh dear, what a pity. Why isn’t the culprit being punished? Even if he’s a celebrity, his life was threatened. Do his parents know?”

“…….”

“What are you going to do now?”

“Well…”

Kwon Su-han stroked his chin. He recalled Ira’s emaciated fingers, his dark brown eyes mixed with resignation and fear, and the stiff, deeply sorrowful aura he had observed.

He also recalled the idol’s age. Twenty-two. Since his birthday hadn’t passed, he was twenty-one. He thought it was too young an age to say, ‘I’ve forgiven the person who tried to kill me.’ If asked what a suitable age to have one’s life threatened was, he couldn’t answer, but he was certain it was absolutely not twenty-two. That was far too young.

“Continue what you couldn’t say earlier. You said Ira unleashed his aura because you were about to eat his? You’re not trying to say he attacked you, are you?”

“It was a shield. A red Soul Aura, trying to protect itself from danger.”

“He tried to protect his lunchbox from you?”

“No, me.”

“…….”

“He tried to protect me.”

“..I don’t know what you’re talking about. Was it a bomb lunchbox or something?”

Mun made a dry joke, and laughed as if he’d heard a funny one. But Jae-yi didn’t laugh. He was serious, like someone who’d been told the world would end if he laughed.

“He’s lost over 15kg since debut.”

“Yes, I know that. It’s a bit extreme to just call it dieting. If you force him to eat, he throws it up… but then, when you see him like that, he eats perfectly fine.”

“Ira loves to eat.”

Jae-yi turned his head. Mun followed his gaze. Through the crack in the door, Ira could be seen eating cup noodles. Ira had skipped all three meals today, and on the way back to the dorm, he bought cup noodles and kimbap from a convenience store. Even that, Han-sae had jumped in to share with him. The problem wasn’t just the past few days, but that it was always like this when they made a comeback. He usually ate well, but his appetite seemed to drop after a comeback.

“He’s hiding something.”

Jae-yi said quietly. It was more a thought to himself than a statement to Mun.

“…Ira will be fine. He went through a tough time with Go Yu-jin early in his debut… Being an idol is a job with so many things to worry about, so he’s probably losing weight due to stress. He’s a strong kid, so if we just let him overcome it himself,”

“No, there’s something else.”

“..Jae-yi.”

“He’s hiding something from me. I need to find out what it is.”

A feeling he was suppressing but couldn’t hide surfaced in Jae-yi’s voice.

“…….”

That burning, fiery emotion. Mun, as an outsider, had already noticed it long ago, and now Jae-yi was slowly becoming aware of it himself.

Would this realization truly help the group?

Mun couldn’t pay attention to Ira’s condition because of such worries. He also considered Jae-yi’s concern to be an excessive worry, as he believed it was a result of those emotions. He would regret later, over and over, that he should have paid attention at that moment, but that was for later. For now, Mun was filled only with worries about the group’s future.

☆Endorphin☆ Let’s go!!!!! Ira-deokhus gather!!

Thank you to the Endorphin production team for always inviting our babies ♡♡♡

┗Oh, the doctor is handsome.

┗┗That doctor is world-famous, yes.

┗You can really feel Endorphin’s status has risen ㅋㅋ He’s a really famous person ㅋㅋ

┗A lot of people don’t know our Ira is A-class, I hope everyone finds out after watching this broadcast.

┗┗Really? Doesn’t everyone know? I knew even before I became a fan.

┗┗┗In the beginning, when Go Yu-jin left and an S-class left, rumors spread that a low-level user joined, so many probably thought he was C-class or lower.

┗┗┗┗The early days were really…ㅠ they criticized him like a dog over his rank.

┗┗Yeah, honestly Ira is S-class level, he should be re-evaluated.

┗┗┗What are you re-evaluating again?ㅋㅋㅋ A-class is already amazing ㅋㅋ

┗┗┗Whether S-class, A-class, or a non-aura user, Ira is just Ira. I hope he doesn’t worry about ranks.

┗Look at the kid munching on grassㅠㅠ Chickㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ

┗Aww, my baby, eat lots of apples.

┗┗Eat twice ㅠㅅㅠ

┗┗Eat thrice ㅠㅅㅠ

┗So cool.swf

┗┗The clip uploaded super fast ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

┗┗Fk, so cute.

┗┗Ah… I want to eat him.

┗┗I want to chew up his way of speaking ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ

┗The Ira Chick Meme is legendary….

┗┗I became a fan after seeing that ㅎ

┗┗┗Me too.

┗┗┗Me too ㅎ

┗┗┗Me too ㅎㅎ

┗Even celebrities know itㅋㅋㅋ It must be famous.

┗┗It was popular enough to rank on real-time search trends without any news articlesㅋㅋㅋㅋ

┗Wow, it’s surprising Ira himself doesn’t know it..

┗┗You anonymous user must be a newbieㅋㅋㅋ The kid doesn’t use the internet, so he probably doesn’t know anythingㅋㅋㅋ

┗┗The kid has over ten million Instagram followers, but there are only twelve photos in total, from pre-debut to one week after debut..ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

┗┗┗Mallang-i is squishy..

┗┗┗┗Those were Ira’s last words on Instagram… sniff..

┗I wish Ira would use the internet more..

┗He’s too thin..

┗I wish people would stop saying he’s thin. Constantly hearing it must be stressful.

┗┗It’s because he’s a doctor, so he’s probably worried;;

┗Doctor, aren’t you holding our Ira’s hand too tightly?ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

┗Look at the hand size difference;Q

┗Ah, honestly Jae-yi’s expression is too eye-catchingㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Doctor, be careful at nightㅋㅋㅋㅋ

┗Gah, why is Jae-yi so angry… Is that the real reason (smirk)?

┗Look at Ira eating so wellㅋㅋㅋㅋ He could film a mukbang commercial?ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

┗What are the advertisers doing, not casting Ira?ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

┗Look at his puffy cheeks… … (I was healthy just a moment ago but I just died meme)

┗Ira-deokhu died….

┗┗Ira-deokhu died2222222222

Did you watch the kids’ live app? ㅠ(Ira, stop dietingㅠ)

Ira apparently didn’t eat his lunchbox again?

As far as I know, during the last album, he didn’t eat the Special Star lunchbox or the Forest lunchbox, saying his stomach wasn’t feeling well….

And I found something this time:

(Photo)

(Photo)

It’s a photo of the waiting room that Mun uploaded on Instagram, and Ira, who was sitting on the sofa, is gone somewhere. He went somewhere alone while everyone else was eating their lunchboxes ㅇㅇ

If you look at the certification photo of today’s music show morning fan-support lunchbox:

(Photo)

Do you see one pair of chopsticks on the table, still unopened?

(Photo)

The table where Ira was sitting ㅇㅇ

This is a photo from the last album, when members of Group B came to visit their waiting room and took a photo together.

(Photo)

There are 4 opened lunchboxes on the table… ㅋㅋ Ira either devoured his lunchbox instantly or didn’t open it at all…

I don’t want to keep mentioning Ira’s weight or criticize him. The kid is probably stressed enough as it is.

He lost so much weight that we were all worried, and he reassured us he was on a diet.

But!!! What is fan devotion, rightㅜ Honestly, I’m a bit uneasy.

I have a slight connection to the medical field, and looking at Ira these days, he’s so thin it makes me worry about his health… Our teacher also mentioned it, saying that being so thin that his neck bones protrude is a problem.

Even on Endorphin (the broadcast show Endorphin), the members said when Ira did a mukbang that he wouldn’t eat dinner after that. Looking at that, I wonder if he only eats one meal a day. Even if it’s a diet, isn’t that a dangerous level?

I wish someone would stop his dietㅠ He’s really going to get sick at this rate.. ㅠ

Jae-Ira’s Business.gif

Jae-yi-nim looks at the camera once, grins, and then fiddles with Ira’s ear…

Ah, if I had known fans would like such obvious ‘fan service bait,’ it’s a huge ‘Oh yeah!’ I’m dying, I love it so muchㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Even him naturally giving water… and holding handsㅠㅠㅠㅠ Being toyed with by business feels so amazing ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅋㅋㅋㅋ

┖Ira is the only person Jae-yi does skinship with..

┖It’s not business? No matter how I look at it, it’s real? It’s true?

┖Ira being flustered is super cuteㅠㅠㅜ

┖When Ira sang his audition song, Jae-yi’s expression was just like a man in love..

6.

Ah, honestly, Shik City, as a human being,

Please release the audition song videoㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ Ira from when he was all squishyㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ Why do they reveal that the audition video exists but not release it??? I really don’t understand..

Everything was great, but I especially want to hear ‘Cheer Up’..ㅠㅠㅠ Isn’t ‘Cheer Up’ really good?????? ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ I wish they’d release a cover or a remade version of the songㅠㅠㅠ

┖It was so goodㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ It felt different from the ‘Cheer Up’ I knew. I want to spread Ira’s version worldwide.

┖┖I wish even aliens could hear it……

┖Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah, even in the live broadcast comments, many said ‘Cheer Up’ was super good. ‘Cheer Up’ is super good, cover it.
