A Failed Idol’s Rise to Bottom

Su-Gyeom was speechless at Han-Sol’s words. It was because he was confident that the assault case in his previous life was related to him.

When Su-Gyeom realized this, he felt grateful to Han-Sol and became angry. He is such a great person that he ruined Han-Sol’s bright future.

“……don’t do that.”

“Hyung…”

Su-Gyeom said, almost as if he was about to cry. Then Han-Sol responded, “I don’t know what I would do if someone talked badly about you.”

Su-Gyeom barely continued to talk, trying to suppress a burst of sigh.

“Don’t ruin yourself for me. You can’t do that.”

“…….”

“You know how hard it was for us to debut. Don’t do that, please.”

“Don’t say that. Hyung, you’re precious to me. I can only think of you all day. I can’t imagine the moment without you.”

Han-Sol poured out his words as if he were throwing up his anger without breathing.

Su-Gyeom needed clarification. Of course, Han-Sol confessed to him, but he never thought he would like him this much.

To be honest, it’s not just Han-Sol. Even the director and the other members were the same. Even after receiving the confession, he never seriously considered them.

Su-Gyeom was embarrassed by the confession, so he didn’t think deeply about the weight of their emotions. He was only thinking about how to avoid the situation before him.

“……I’m sorry.”

“What? What are you sorry about?”

“It’s just I’ve taken your feelings lightly. I kept making excuses, and I was confused. I couldn’t take your feelings seriously because I was busy thinking about what to do in the future.”

Su-Gyeom frankly expressed his feelings. Su-Gyeom bowed his head in apology. It was because he couldn’t bear to see Han-Sol’s face.

“I understand how confused Hyung must have been. You must have been embarrassed and worried. I would have done that if I were you. So you don’t have to be sorry.”

However, contrary to Su-Gyeom’s worries, Han-Sol understood everything.

At the generous words, Su-Gyeom gently pressed his pounding heart. How can he express that he was grateful and moved?

“I confessed because I like Hyung. I can’t hide my feelings forever, but I don’t want you to feel burdened and have a hard time. So you don’t have to apologize.”

Han-Sol spoke affectionately as if to soothe Su-Gyeom. The feeling was so warm that a warm breeze blew into Su-Gyeom’s heart.

“Let’s go. Everyone is waiting.”

“……yes.”Su-Gyeom nodded lightly and looked carefully at Han-Sol’s face. He was smiling happily. There was no sign of being upset. It was full of warm feelings and love.

S-Gyeom was grateful, but on the other hand, he was still confused and sorry.

Can he accept that overflowing emotion? Is he someone worthy of his love?

Su-Gyeom’s conscience poked at the thought that came to his mind. No matter how much he thinks about it, he is not that great of a person.

The harsh words that the production crew said earlier were buried because of the confusion caused by his conversation.

“Where have you two been?”

As soon as he entered the waiting room with Han-Sol, Tae-Won asked suspiciously. Although the words asked, “Where have you been?” the question contained quite a mixed feeling of dissatisfaction, “Where and what are you two doing to come in together?”

“Oh, it’s in the hallway…….”

“We were on a date.”

Su-Gyeom, who was about to say he met him by chance in the hallway, looked at Han-Sol’s face in surprise. The members, Song-Hwa, Min-Seung, and other staff members, are here. Su-Gyeom was surprised, wondering if he could say this.

“Hey, Han-Sol, get in line. I lined up first to go on a date with Su-Gyeom.”

“Yes, I understand.”

Unlike Su-Gyeom, who was surprised, Song-Hwa, Min-Seung, and even the staff stayed calm.
It looked like nobody took Han-Sol’s words seriously.

Except for the members of U-PITE. All of the members glared at Han-Sol.

He shrugged his shoulders.

Su-Gyeom was just being tactful, so he rolled his eyes around among the members, and someone knocked on the door.

Soon, the person who opened the door appeared. It was the production crew who was making dirty remarks about Su-Gyeom in the hallway earlier.

“U-PITE is going to start shooting.”

He said what he wanted to say and went out. But in that short moment, he made eye contact with Su-Gyeom. Without realizing it, Su-Gyeom took about half a step back.

“Oh. The one who looks like he is good at pillow talk?”

It was because what Su-Gyeom heard in the hallway came to mind.

Su-Gyeom swallowed dry saliva with a pale face. He was already out, but he looked with trembling eyes at the place where he was.

“……Su-Gyeom, are you okay?”

“Oh, oh, oh, oh……. I’m all right.”

Su-Gyeom smiled awkwardly at Yoo-Chan’s worried question. Then he followed him out of the waiting room and headed for the set.

****

The shooting went smoothly.

U-PITE carried a large backpack individually and divided the hint paper into pieces. The panels had to catch all the U-PITE members in a limited time and get the hint paper. U-PITE had to run away as much as possible so the panels could not take the hint paper away.

Su-Gyeom, aware of his little physical strength and slow running skills, was running away screaming.

“Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!”

“Why is he screaming like that?”

“Argh, don’t come, don’t come, argh!”

“Excuse me, Su-Gyeom! Calm down…….”

“Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah!”

“Hahahahaha! Su-Gyeom is so funny. What’s wrong with him?”

Su-Gyeom, who had been running around, finally felt the limit of his physical strength, quickly took off his backpack, carried it forward, and hugged it tightly with his arms so that he could not open his bag.

” Catch Su-Gyeom. Come on!”

“Argh, don’t catch me, don’t catch me!”

“No, I have to catch you. What do you mean, don’t.”

“Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

“Hahahaha, Su-Gyeom is so funny.”

With tired Su-Gyeom at the center, three panels gradually narrowed the distance and approached. Feeling in danger, Su-Gyeom screamed when he found Yoo-Chan at the end of his eyes.

“Yoo-Chan! Help me!”

Yoo Chan was also trying to outrun one of the panels, but after listening to Su-Gyeom, he immediately jumped between the panels.

With Yoo-Chan’s appearance, the panellists aiming for Su-Gyeom changed their target to Yoo-Chan, and Su-Gyeom did not miss that time and ran away quickly.

He was being grabbed and robbed of his bag.

“Oh, sorry, Yoo-Chan.”

However, even before Su-Gyeom’s apology was over, another panellist from behind hugged Su-Gyeom with both arms.

“Jimin, hurry up! Open up his bag! I’ll hold him!”

In the end, Su-Gyeom was caught in seconds, overshadowing Yoo-Chan’s sacrifice, and his bag was robbed.

He raised his hand.

“It’s all right, Hyung. You did a good job.”

“Oh, man, I got caught too soon. It’s unfair.”

With Yoo Chan’s comfort, Su-Gyeom hugged his legs and expressed his feelings. Then, Yoo-Chan patted Su-Gyeom on the shoulder.

Since then, Han-Sol and Tae-Won have been caught in order. When they caught Tae-Won, five of the seven panellists rushed simultaneously. Tae-Won was caught while fighting 5-1.

In the meantime, Lee-Gyeom ran around well with his long legs and was eventually the only one not caught while guarding the hint bag.

I was imagining someone screaming while running just like a kid.
