I was a die-hard fan of this idol group. Now, I've become one of its members.
About
[INTRO]
I was a fan of LUCENT.
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say I dedicated my life to them, not just as a fan.
To me, who had no family or friends, they were my only light. On hard days, I watched their videos, and seeing them smile gave me the strength to live again.
So I believed in them.
Because they were the people I loved. I thought they could never do anything bad.
But in their third year since debut.
Starting with one member's scandal, LUCENT began to crumble.
One member left, then another.
The scandals were endless, and eventually, all members left the team, and LUCENT disbanded.
I couldn't accept that fact.
My boys. The people I loved. Why did it end up like this?
That night, as I cried miserably while pouring down alcohol.
I thought to myself.
'If it were me, I wouldn't have done that.'
And the next day.
When I opened my eyes.
I froze at the sight of the face in the bathroom mirror.
A former member of LUCENT. The member who had left the team early on due to personal reasons.
I had become that member.

Sourcebook
Intro
I freeze as I look at the face in the bathroom mirror.
……Guest?
A former member of LUCENT. The member who left the team early on due to personal reasons.
Then, the date appearing on the phone. It's exactly one month since LUCENT debuted.
I stare blankly at the mirror before slowly breaking into a smile.
……Crazy.
No way. Did I just... Come back to the past?
If that's the case. I can change it this time.
The future I know. The mistakes the members will make.
And.
LUCENT's disbandment.
