A Failed Idol’s Rise to Bottom - Chapter 61

Su-Gyeom remained frozen and slowly walked toward the kitchen. Lee-Gyeom narrowed his brows because his behavior was suspicious.

“Where are you going?”

“Looking for a plate.”

He tilted his head.

“Plate? Why a plate?”

“To hit my nose.”

“…….”

Lee-Gyeom Gyeom was so amazed that he couldn’t say anything. Whether he did or not, Su-Gyeom was serious. He felt like this shame would disappear only if he died with his nose stuck in a prosthesis.

“Don’t talk nonsense.”

“I mean it.”

“That’s even worse.”

Lee-Gyeom held his arms, not letting him go.

In fact, now he couldn’t afford to care about anything, whether he grabbed his arm or bit it. That’s how much shame was stronger.

“……do I have to answer?”

“Don’t you want to do it?”

“Yes.”

“Why?”

“It’s embarrassing.”

“Then tell me.”

“No, I’m ashamed, you punk!”

Su-Gyeom expected Lee-Gyeom to back off after he said that he is ashamed to say anything, but he kept on egging him without mercy. Su-Gyeom gritted his teeth while looking at Lee-Gyeom.

Lee-Gyeom shrugged his shoulders, which further annoyed Su-Gyeom

Su-Gyeom glared at him with resentful eyes and turned his eyes toward Tae-Won. He lowered the corners of his eyes as much as I could and looked at them with pitiful eyes. Normally, Tae-Won would have stopped Le-Gyeom if Su-Gyeom started to make that pitiful expression.

But not this time. Tae-Won shook his head with a firm expression.

Su-Gyeom, who lost his last hope, quickly collapsed in his place. It wasn’t enough, so he lay down and swung his slim limbs around.

“Oh, I don’t know! Why should I say that? No, I won’t! That’s enough! Cut it out!

Su-Gyeom, who had been making a fuss to the fullest, remembered that not only U-PITE members were here, but also the director, and belatedly added a “Oh”

Seo-Wook, who was watching the scene, did not bother looking away. He remained smiling, Su-Gyeom thought that at least he is not upset.

“You must listen to it……?”

All the members, including Seo-Wook, nodded at Su-Gyeom’s question. The appearance was determined, so he felt resentment again.

Su-Gyeom didn’t know why they wanted to know other people’s stories so much.

Su-Gyeom sighed for a long time and glanced at the members for the last time. If he could decide, he would not tell anyone.

Unfortunately, however, no one understood Su-Gyeom ‘s mind. Maybe they knew but pretends they didn’t know.

“I can tell you, but you won’t believe me even if I tell you.”

“Why do you think so?”

“It’s just…”

It’s such a ridiculous story. Su-Gyeom swallowed the words back and closed his lips tightly. n Han-Sol approached and sat face to face with Su-Gyeom and made eye contact.

“Hyung.”

“Huh?”

“I’ll believe everything you say, so you can tell me.”

“…….”

“I’m not just saying it. I mean it.”

Han-Sol ‘s words had power. Su-Gyeom wanted to refute, but he couldn’t think of anything to say.

Su-Gyeom’s distrust was of no use in the face of the infinite trust he displayed trust.

Su-Gyeom sighed deeply. Come to think of it, it didn’t matter whether they believed it or not. Once he had told them, and if they didn’t believe it, it was their problem.

“So…”

After much consideration, when Su-Gyeom started his story, everyone’s eyes turned to Su-Gyeom. He managed to catch his momentarily distracted spirit from their gaze and continued.

“I died once.”

“…”

There was a heavy silence about Su-Geom’s words. The reaction is different from what he expected, Su-Gyeom expected them to burst out laughing, saying, “What nonsense is this?”

“……Why aren’t you surprised?”

“Keep talking.”

Yoo-Chan calmly replied to Su-gyeom’s question. There was an irresistible force in his words.

Su-Gyeom bit on the dry bottom lip. However, as soon as Su-Gyeom did so, Yoo-chan reached out and touched his lips.

Surprised by the sudden action, Su-Gyeom’s eyes widened in surprise. Yoo-Chan made a stern expression.

“Don’t bite your lips.”

“Uh…Uh…Uh…….”

Surprised, Su-Gyeom was frozen, and Yoo-Chan opened his mouth, looking at Su-Gyeom.

“Keep talking.”

“Oh, I see. It was from my previous life, after debuting in U-PUTE. At that time, I… I was working part-time at a PC room…….”

“Part-time job at an internet cafe?”

Tae-Won asked back with an expression that he was amazed. It was an incredible reaction.

Of course, his reaction was not incomprehensible. In his previous life, U-PITE was not as popular as it is now, but he was a rookie idol who successfully completed his debut. It was surprising to hear that he had a part-time job at an internet cafe, not a broadcasting job.

However, no matter how surprising it was, he thought it was not as surprising as the story of dying once in his previous life.

“Su-Gyeom , did you have a part-time job?”

This time, Seo-Wook asked. Su-Gyeom looked at him and nodded quietly. Then Seo-Wook’s expression hardened.

“There was a story about that…….”

“What story?”

This time Han-Sol asked. Su-Gyeom was trying to answer, but he felt sorry as if he had committed a crime, so he bowed his head and looked at the floor.

“U-PITE has been disbanded.”

“…… what?”

A painful memory seems to hurt no matter how much time passes. Su-Gyeom’s heart throbbed and his eyes tingled as he talked about what had already become of his previous life. He had to take a deep breath because he thought tears would pour out right away.

“U-PITE has disbanded…”

“Why?”

When asked by Yoo-Chan, Su-Gyeom moved his lips. It was not easy to say why. Several reasons were piled up together. And one of them was the fact that Yoo-chan was gay. Su-Gyeom bowed even more because he couldn’t bear, to tell the truth.

“Why did you break up? Did we cause any trouble?”

At Lee-Gyeom’s sudden question, Su-Gyeom forgot Yoo-Chan’s warning and bit his narrow lower lip again, and raised his head. Lee-Gyeom was looking at Su-Gyeom with a somewhat angry expression as if he couldn’t understand.

“It’s because you are in a relationship!”

“Oh…”

Su-Gyeom was screaming in the air, soon blurted out. But it’s already late. Lee-Gyeom looked at Su-Gyeom with an expression of disbelief.

“I’m in a relationship…”…?”

“Uh, that’s also very crazy…….”

Su-Gyeom, who couldn’t say it was a sex scandal, said it as purely as possible. Then, Lee-Gyeom still responded that he couldn’t believe it.

“I’m in a relationship. With who?”

“Oh, I don’t know! She was such a pretty girl, why!”

“No way.”

“No way. That’s what they say!”

“That can’t be true, the person I like is…”

“What? Do you like someone?”

Su-Gyeom’s eyes widened at Lee-Gyeom’s words. He became sensitive because he remembered Lee-Gyeom’s sex scandal in his previous life.

“Oh, no, there’s no way that the person I like is a very pretty woman.”

“What are you talking about? Of course, you like pretty girls. Anyway, you say no, but you really did. “Even when Su-Gyeom said it again, Lee-Gyeom just shook his head with a sullen expression.

“Then only because of the romance rumor did U-PITE disband?”

“Oh, well, that’s not it’s…….”

Su-Gyeom shook his head at Seo-Wook ‘s words. It was certainly as he pointed out. Even if an idol member was getting married, it would be fine if only the member was left out, but there was no need to go to disbandment.

Su-Gyeom swallowed his dry saliva and looked at Han-Sol this time.

“Why, is it me? Did I do something wrong?”

Han-Sol,  noticed Su-Gyeom’s gaze, raised his hand and pointed to himself. Su-Gyeom nodded reluctantly in response.

“Really? What did I do? What did you do?”

In response to Han-Sol ‘s response, Su-Gyeom showed a sorry expression, even though he didn’t do anything wrong yet.

“…… assault.”
