here's a double sequel combo to round out the Cursed Idol Challenge Saga™:

🎙️ SEQUEL 3: The Press Conference They Were Not Ready For

Alt Title: "Damage Control but Make It Fashion"

🛑 Scene 1: The Setup

After the brand collab disaster and viral chaos round two, their company decided the only way to control the narrative was a press conference.

EJ: "We're just answering a few questions."
K: "Professionally."
Nicholas (in sunglasses): "I'm ready for my villain arc."
Fuma: "Please don't speak."

📸 Scene 2: The Reporters Are Ruthless

Reporter 1: "So who started the challenge in the first place?"

All eyes shift to Nicholas.

Nicholas: "It was a community decision."
Yuma (whispering): "A dictatorship disguised as enthusiasm."

Reporter 2: "Taki, how do you feel about being the face of lamp-related violence?"

Taki (serious): "I've learned a lot. About gravity. And shame."

Reporter 3: "Yuma, will you be releasing the full version of your viral freestyle?"

Yuma: "It wasn't a rap. It was a cry for help that happened to rhyme."

Reporter 4: "Jo, thoughts on being launched into a pillow and still trending?"

Jo: "I did it for the views."
EJ: "No, you did it because you tripped."
Jo: "Same thing."

Reporter 5: "Will you be trying the challenge again?"

K (immediately): "No."
Fuma: "Absolutely not."
Nicholas: "Maybe."
Maki: "I've already ordered more blindfolds."

📎 Scene 3: The Manager Intervenes

Manager (taking the mic):
"I would just like to remind the public that &TEAM is made of professionals—who occasionally lose their minds in group settings."

Cue scattered laughter from the press.

Manager: "Also, please stop sending us lamps. We've received 63."

💅 Scene 4: The Ending Statement

EJ (with his best PR voice):
"We're grateful for the love, the laughter, and the... minor bruises. But if you think that was chaotic—just wait."

Taki: "What?"
EJ: "Nothing. Smile for the cameras."

Flashbulbs go off.
They wave.
The questions continue.
And someone (definitely Nicholas) mutters:
"I think it's time for a redemption arc."

🎯 SEQUEL 4: Redemption Arc – They Actually Practice This Time (Sort Of)

Alt Title: "Third Time's the Slightly More Coordinated Charm"

💪 Scene 1: The Plan

EJ: "If we're doing this again, we're doing it RIGHT."
Nicholas: "You're finally embracing the chaos!"
EJ: "No. I'm trying to contain it."

Fuma builds a full choreo schedule.
Maki designs "safe drip" outfits.
Taki does spin practice in socks.
Jo writes inspirational messages on sticky notes like "Don't fall (again)."

🧼 Scene 2: Practice

They rehearse with blindfolds off first.

Harua creates a "Floor Awareness" chart.

Yuma records backup vocals in case he blacks out mid-rap.

K leads stretches like it's the Olympics.

K: "We fall with grace or not at all."
Taki: "Can we fall dramatically?"
K: "Only if it's symmetrical."

🎥 Scene 3: The Final Take

Camera. Lights. Music. Determination.

And this time...

They do it.

No injuries.
No broken lamps.
No freestyle mid-chaos.

Jo stays upright.
Nicholas doesn't scream (as much).
Taki spins, lands, bows.
Yuma finishes his rap and adds a wink.

Maki shouts, "WE DID IT."
Harua bursts into relieved laughter.
Fuma claps like a proud mom.
K even smiles. A little.
EJ wipes fake tears. "My boys."

🌐 Scene 4: The Upload

They post the polished version, titled:
"Cursed Challenge: Redemption Edition 💅✨"

The comments flood in:

"THEY DID IT WITHOUT INJURIES THIS TIME???"
"we love a character development arc"
"Taki's spin? Nicholas's control?? WHO ARE YOU"
"K smiled. This is historical."
"but where's the chaos. i miss the screaming."

💌 Scene 5: Group Chat Aftermath

Nicholas: okay fine we nailed it
Taki: do we miss the chaos tho
Harua: a little
Yuma: the silence is suspicious
Jo: next challenge: blindfold karaoke on a trampoline?
K: BLOCKED
EJ: goodnight.
Maki: i already bought the blindfolds :)

THE END... (until someone opens TikTok again)
