The Flashback

The Forgotten Band

A/N: Just a thought. It might help to read the “riddle” at the end of this chapter again so that the following makes more sense!


Minhyun released the following statement in response to Seungcheol’s confession.

It’d do us well to leave hiding and come back,
Somehow all our songs are now top tracks.
Somehow, we have popularity, we have fame.
Somehow, the whole world now knows our name.

And so our original plan was rethought,
But come out of hiding, we will not.
We have much more to do, much more to tell,
We just cannot bid this plan farewell.

For now, with the riddle we will start.
About that, there’s unfortunate news to impart.
By (Blank Space), we meant the song.
And so the answer S.Coups gave was wrong.

The answer was Taylor Swift, you see.
'Blank Space' is her song obviously.
We gave you hints that would lead to this.
However, the hints, you seem to have missed.

We told you it’s “the most popular one.”
We told you also to “consider the pun.”
On those lines you clearly didn't dwell.
There were also words from its lyrics as well,
Like “mistake,” “game,” “play,” and “face.”
(Blank Space) was not meant to be replaced.

We also said explicitly that it was a song,
One that would never to you belong.
'Armor' could, yet 'Blank Space' could not.
Unless, of course, a lawsuit’s to be fought.
“Lawsuit” should have also rung a bell,
Because Taylor Swift does lawsuits well…

However, everything that S.Coups had revealed is true.
And for that, Seungcheol, the members thank you.
You told the world; you came clean with your wrong.
Yes, 'Armor' was first our song.

This whole riddle has been a trap for you.
And how effortlessly you fell for it too.
Now the world doesn’t hate us and people understand,
The real reason we’re targeting our hoobae band.

As much as we’d like to just let it all go,
We’ve made a commitment to give you a show.
And so S.Coups’ dark past, we will now reveal,
As was promised in the original deal.

When we were trainees, once upon a time:
Brothels and drugs, cigarettes and wine.
In all such activities, Seungcheol did engage.
Even though he was underage.
He did it all with a fake ID on his tray,
With older women he would have his way.
And his way included whips chaining.
All this happened when we were training.
We know it all- we lived together, you see.
We know exactly how it used to be.

It wasn’t only working women that he bed,
Married women also got in his head.
With such women he had ual affairs,
Not once was he caught by husbands of theirs.
The greatest affair of all, right now we’ll tell:
He did it with ’s mom as well.
That member, however, we shall not name.
As it isn’t the mother we’re trying to defame.

This is the flashback we promised to you.
And we will prove that what we said is true.
We have attached some images under here.
And you’ll see the truth there wide and clear.

(Attached: pictures of Seungcheol smoking and drinking and doing drugs. A picture of his fake ID. A picture of him with older women, es, and he is touching them ually and kissing them).


A/N: It takes so long to write these rhyming things ahhh. I hope you guys understood the "riddle" though!
I'm quite mean to S.Coups in this story aren't I? Meh. I mean he's obviously a bad boy. Look at him:

Like this story? Give it an Upvote!
Thank you!

Chapter 26: again, damn this really did predict things lol seventeen would go on to get millions of albums sold, top the charts, and be one of the biggest kpop groups. its lowkey kinda scary how accurate these things became lol also yes han sungsoo is the root of all problems
p.s. i would pay money to have that song written at the very end, i hope its a real song bc i love the sinister feel it has

Chapter 1: damn i know this was written in 2015 but it honestly predicted a whole lot about nuest's promotions in japan, hell they would still be heavily promoting in japan right until before they went on produce 101 season 2 in 2017. for a long while, they would be stuck in japan

although i can't imagine this---mainly because the nu'est guys are too floofy for their own good---i'm itching to read this. ; u ; sounds like it'd totally do justice to baekho's initial image in pd101 and gaaaaaaaaaaaa.

Chapter 25: Finally...I've finished reading it! (sometimes I wish my real life responsibilities wouldn't stand on my fangirl's daily life...LOL). This was such a nice reading!....Although I have to admit the story seemed to be more tense, creepy, keeping-you-on-the-edge-of-your--chair and dynamic in first half chapters of it (just my personal feeling). As for pledisboss having turned out to be the main culprit, aka 'mastermind' as you've named him....well, I'm not surprised...and I think he actually fits better for these kind of actions than Junghan's mom :). Wish I could leave a more sound and helpful 'critique' but my mind refuses to come up with anything more... Overall, thanks for having come up with such an intriguing story, and frankly, thanks to your story as well, I'm getting to think that remembering all 13 members in one group is probably not that hard...LOL.
P.S. You'll probably see my annoying comments in your current work as well, see ya ;)

Chapter 21: Don't want to be 'that' person who keeps mentioning P101 after months since its final episode, but....the following thought has just struck me. I somehow knew this story was written long before guys joined the show but....damn....why do CEO's certain actions/thoughts described in this very chapter seem to be very likely his VERY actions/thoughts he probably got when the NU kids finished their participation in the show? You must be a seer! :) ;)
P.S. I hate being that 'crazy' fan/reader who's getting inclined to see things when they are actually not there, but this is what your story's being doing to me....LMAO

Chapter 19: Oh gosh...can hardly gather my thoughts... ㅠ ㅠ ㅠ. Leader mentions only 11 members? 'Cause Woozi is imprisoned & isn't with the rest of boys? OK...
S.Coups - that was probably the best option he could have come up with...
Moral: everyone has sooner or later pay for his/her mistakes??!! :/
