Monochrome Rumor - Chapter 4-3

“Don’t look at that, hyung.” 

Si-Hyun, who had lost the phone he had been concentrating on reading, looked up and saw Ra-Jun who looked somewhat embarrassed, standing restlessly. What’s wrong with him? 

Ra-Jun put the phone on the other side of the table and sat on a stool with his eyes wide open as if he were looking for something to say. It’s so cute. Si-Hyun smiled lightly. He looked at Si-Hyun as if surprised. If this is not a puppy, what is? 

“Why?” I asked, but he shook his head.

“What’s the matter?” 

Seeing that, San-Yu cut off the phone call with someone and approached them. With a soft question, his silver hair shone in the sunlight. Thinking it was like a halo, and when Ra-Jun answers quietly, Si-Hyun reaches out his hand and messes up his head. 

It seemed like it was a habit, so he turned his attention away and averted his gaze.

He didn’t say anything, but in fact, Lee Ha-Jin was shocked.

Lee Si-Hyun, whom he saw, begged all the time and was drenched in tears. He thought that Lee Si-Hyun was a weak-hearted and fragile person, but this is like being beaten in the back of his head. 

At first, he asked back several times because he thought he heard wrong that Lee Si-Hyun’s job was an idol. 

For Ha-Jin, who only watched news or current affairs programs when he even turned on the TV, idol was a very unfamiliar word, so it was natural. 

As if he knew me, who wanted to escape from reality half-way, San-Yu, with a worried smile on his face, patted me on the shoulder saying that it’s okay to rest for the time being since their activity has just ended not long ago.

That wasn’t what was important, but on the other hand, I gave up because I was wondering what to do even if I denied it. Yeah, what can I do if I deny it?

It wasn’t that I didn’t think about it. 

I assumed for a while that I would go back to the world I originally had, but I had no choice but to give up the idea in an instant. 

I wondered what I was going to do with this face, the person I was dealing with liked the song on the last album, so why did he plan to quit? There was also a reason why he would want to commit suicide if he was criticized so much for the sponsorships. 

What is your face known for? However, since he is a famous idol, I searched for it because he was popular, and all the things that came out were accusations and malicious comments.

What kind of life did this bastard Lee Si-Hyun live? 

The face that was crying sadly seems to be a lie, so I feel like I’ve been scammed this time. 

And one more thing. What I couldn’t understand was the situation with the members. No matter how many posts I read, the story about the discord between Lee Si-Hyun and the members appeared. It was said that there was nothing to say about it because it was an open secret that everyone already knew, but it seemed like a completely different situation to Ha-Jin.

Ha-Jin, who repeated several times that it is okay not to come visit him now, and the members didn’t listen to him and visited the hospital room every day.

Where is the discord?

The man named Seo Ra-Jun was obviously a loyal dog to be next to him without being separated for a moment, and Lee San-Yu naturally touched him and his friendly face did not seem to be an act.

Kang Eui-Hyun who’s going back and forth, even when he curses, he is the first to worry when his condition is strange or his expression is bad, so I think his personality is just like that. 

Lastly, Yoo Chan, with an expressionless face, doesn’t seem to be interested in this at all, but ironically, the way he takes care of this and that the most and acts delicately seemed to be just quiet as Lee San-Yu said.

I can’t figure this out. 

It was a moment when Si-Hyun, who was looking at the members one by one with a blank expression, shook his head lightly as if he had given up thinking. 

With a short knock, the door of the hospital room opened and a man he saw for the first time showed his face. The man who entered the hospital room stood foolishly for a while as if he couldn’t believe Si-Hyun’s face was looking at him. 

Ra-Jun, who saw him, calls out to him softly, “Hyung,” and then he comes to himself as if he has come to his senses. Staggering, he looked sickly on his face, so it felt like he was going to collapse at any moment.

Who is it? I frowned, but when I looked at the members, it seemed like everyone else knew him.

“Si-Hyun……….” 

Oh. This feels ominous.

 “You……..Like this…..Really……” 

“You’re alive, you’re really…” Hhhuunnnnggggghhh

Si-Hyun’s premonition was not wrong.

Si-Hyun looked down at the man whose face was buried in his lap, trembling and eventually bursting into tears with an absurd gaze. 

Do I look sad? Why does everyone cry when they see me? 

Looking at the man with a slightly tired face, it was funny to see him cry while saying what he wanted to say.

“I’m going to drive from now on, and no one of you will be getting a car key. I thought you were dead, so I tried to die, too. I thought it was my fault; so you came out in my dreams without saying a word, you stole dozens of keys from me, but I don’t have a car. ……I’m only driving the van from the company. I was so sad that I really cried”

“………….?” 

Are you sad because I stole your car keys?
