A Failed Idol’s Rise to Bottom - Chapter 59

Su-Gyeom was affected by Yoo-chan’s gaze and lowered his eyes. His heart pounded loudly. Even if he told them they wouldn’t believe him. Su-Gyeom was resentful of their curiosity.

“If you don’t want to talk about it, then you don’t have to.”

At that time, Seo-Wook added, as if he had read Su-Gyeom’s mind. At the words, Su-Gyeom looked at him with eyes asking if he was serious. Seo-Wook nodded lightly.

“Then let’s put the story aside, and since we’re here, let’s go out and drink.”

“What?”

The members, as well as Su-Gyeom, were surprised by Seo-Wook’s unexpected words. Their eyes widened, and they asked back. Seo-Wook shrugged his shoulders even though everyone was looking at him.

“Why, is there a problem?”

“No……it’s not a problem…….”

It was not typical for Seo-Wook, who was strict about drinking, to ask him to drink first. Until now, he only managed to taste alcohol because he was at a company dinner, but alcohol was not the purpose in the first place.

Seo-Wook brought up the topic of alcohol first, so the members had no choice but to wonder. The members looked at Seo-Wook and were at a loss for what to do.

Seo-Wook got up from his seat and prepared to leave without waiting for more answers.

“Get ready and come out.”

“Uh…Yes.”

Su-Gyeom answered Seo-Wook ‘s words while still looking at the members, who seemed confused. Seo-Wook smiled leisurely and headed to the front door, satisfied with Su-Gyeom’s answer.

“Why are we drinking all of a sudden?”

As soon as Seo-Wook left the house, Han-Sol tilted his head and muttered. Everyone agreed with him, but they didn’t have time to think about it because Seo-Wook was waiting outside.

“Aren’t that my clothes?”

Everyone was about to get ready to go out, but Tae-won suddenly asked Su-Gyeom. “That’s right. But it’s because of you, so don’t blame me for wearing your clothes.”

Su-Gyeom replied, staring at Tae-won in a coy way. However, Tae-Won looked delighted and didn’t look one bit irritated.

“I’ll give it to you.”

“Why?”

“I’ll give it to you, so wear it often.”

Su-Gyeom, who expected to be criticized for wearing his clothes without permission, was surprised at Tae-won’s completely different response.

“All of a sudden?”

“You don’t like it?”

“No, well… It’s not that I don’t like it, but…….”

“Then wear it. I just bought them, so it’s like new clothes. It’s the same as new clothes. Can I give it to you?”

“Yes. Totally.”

“Okay, thank you!”

There was no reason to refuse. In addition, it was beneficial to get clothes that were clean and in good condition, like new clothes. Su-Gyeom smiled broadly toward Tae-Won with gratitude.

After a short conversation, Su-Gyeom hurriedly found clothes to change into. He wore jeans, an ivory sweatshirt, and a beige padded jacket. When he quickly changed and looked at the members, the members were already done and waiting for Su-Gyeom.

“I’m sorry I’m late! Let’s go.”

Su-Gyeom apologized sensibly and stepped out of the accommodation. He did not see Seo-Wook, so he must have already gone to the parking lot.

Su-Gyeom and other members headed to the underground parking lot through the elevator.

“Su-Gyeom, Yoo-Chan, and Han-Sol, take my car. Tae-Won and Lee-Gyeom take a taxi. I’ll text you the address.”

“Yes.”

When Seo-Wook offered his card to Tae-won, U-PITE answered smoothly. What Seo-Wook drove today was a large black SUV. The car with the R mark on it smelled rich at first glance.

“Su-Gyeom, get in the front.”

“Yes!”

Seo-Wook told him as he noticed Su-Gyeom’s worry of getting in the front seat or the back seat.

Su-Gyeom quickly got in the front seat. Yoo-Chan and Han-Sol quietly climbed into the back seat.

Seo-Wook began to drive smoothly. Su-Gyeom felt awkward in the car, running quietly without even noise.

“Can I turn on the music?”

“Yes, you can press that button.”

Su-Gyeom pressed the button that Seo-Wook told him. The familiar music quickly began to play.

“Oh, it’s our song, isn’t it? Director, do you usually listen to our songs?”

“Sure. I also stream.”

“Hahaha. You’re lying.”

Su-Gyeom burst into laughter at the sly words of Seo-Wook. The thought of him streaming made him laugh. He felt strangely good even though he knew it was impossible.

“I’m serious.”

“Really?”

“Of course. I monitor everything, but of course, I stream.”

When Seo-Wook said he meant it, Su-Gyeom’s eyes widened, and he smiled. He couldn’t imagine Seo-Wook streaming their songs at all, but he was grateful he really did.

Su-Gyeom was not that bright, but he knew well how many selfish and mean people were among the agency’s representatives.

There were many representatives who thinks of their singers simply as a means of making money, and they used them as tools to sing and make more money.

In comparison, Seo-Wook was an angel. Not only was he friendly and kind, but he was rich, so he didn’t care about money. He supported him and even felt that he genuinely cared about U-PIYE. Su-Gyeom couldn’t get rid of the idea that he was blessed.

When he remembered his stubbornness in his past life, Su-Gyeom had no choice but to touch his forehead and make a sound of pain.

“What’s wrong? Does your head hurt?”

“No, it just hurts.”

“What’s wrong?”

“I regret my past life…”….”

“What are you talking about?”

“There’s something like that.”

They are curious about what the shaman said earlier, so Su-Gyeom tries his luck and told them, but as expected, it is a response to what absurd things he was saying. Su-Gyeom thought they would not believe him even if he said it, so he smacked his lips for no reason.

Seo-Wook tilted his head, but Su-Gyeom said nothing. Meanwhile, the car arrived at its destination.

After getting out of the car, Seo-Wook left the key to the person waiting. Just in time, Tae-won and Lee-Gyeom also arrived.

U-PITE and Seo-Wook entered the store together. The employee checked the card Seo-Wook showed, and guided them into the innermost room.

The room was burdensomely spacious. There was a bar-shaped table on one side and a large table in the middle. When the members sat on the fluffy sofa, the door opened with the sound of the bell, and colorful snacks and alcohol came in.

One of the staff even took a seat behind the bar-shaped table and made a cocktail with a flamboyant touch. Su-Gyeom, who saw someone making cocktails for the first time, watched him with surprised eyes.

“Su-Gyeom, drink too.”

“But…”

“It’s okay because I’m allowing it today.”

When Su-Gyeom immediately looked at the members at Seo-Wook ‘s words, Seo-Wook said firmly. Su-Gyeom was happy at the words, but he couldn’t express his feelings well because the members didn’t look very good.

Meanwhile, pretty and colorful cocktails came up one by one in front of the members. Su-Gyeom rolled his eyes here and there, wondering which of the colorful cocktails would be good to drink first.

“Can I go first?”

“Do as you please.”

Su-Gyeom, quietly waiting for the other members to choose first, opened his mouth while looking at the members who rarely thought about choosing. Then Lee-Gyeom replied in a heartless voice.

In response, Su-Gyeom did not refuse but immediately brought a yellow cocktail with a slice of pineapple in the cup in front of him.

Starting with Su-Gyeom, the members chose cocktails one by one.

“Drink.”

“!”

Su-Gyeom lifted his glass as if he had been waiting and took a sip of the cocktail. Contrary to what he thought would taste like pineapple, the cocktail had a strong coconut scent. Su-Gyeom, who doesn’t like coconut very much, frowned and put down his glass.

“Why? You don’t like it?”

When asked by Lee-Gyeom, who was watching Su-Gyeom, Su-Gyeom nodded a couple of times. Then, Lee-Gyeom pushed the cocktail he picked and took the one Su-Gyeom just drank from.

“Let’s exchange.”

“Yes!”

Thanks to Lee-Gyeom’s consideration, Su-Gyeom quickly felt better and sipped the cocktail that Lee-Gyeom offered. At first, he thought the sweetness spread, and then a subtle taste spread in his mouth. Su-Gyeom’s expression also became complicated.

“What’s wrong?”

“What should I say about this…… Uh, um… Well… I mean…It tastes like an old man”

Just as Lee-Gyeom was about to burst into laughter, Seo-Wook opened his mouth.

“You know how it tastes. Have you tried it before?”

Su-Gyeom please watch your words please.
