A Failed Idol’s Rise to Bottom

Upon arriving at the set, U-PITE greeted the production team and sat in the waiting room. Su-Gyeom calmed his shaking heart and waited for the filming to begin.

However, due to the nature of entertainment variety programs, filming was delayed without notice. Perhaps it took a lot of time for the panels to clear the previous stage mission.

Because of that, the waiting increased by twenty minutes, and gradually. At first, Su-Gyeom twisted his body around because it ached and moved his body into a narrow waiting room. But even that didn’t last long. The body, which was nervous before the shoot, began to droop without realizing it.

“Uh, I’m sleepy.”

Drowsiness crept up in the endless wait. Su-Gyeom, who was trying to hold back his sleep by pressing his heavy eyelids with his fingertips, quickly jumped up. It was because he decided to go to the bathroom.

Although he often came to the broadcasting station because of music broadcasts, he rarely visited it for other reasons. The entertainment filming station was similar to a maze for Su-Gyeom.

Far from asking, it was a strange place. Su-Gyeom looked around and headed to the bathroom, and Han-Sol was seen approaching from the far end of the hallway.

With the familiar face, Su-Gyeom quickly recalls last night’s memory. He has to get away from him. Su-Gyeom was determined to do so, hurriedly finding a corner to hide. Fortunately, Han-Sol did not seem to find Su-Gyeom.

At that time, two people who appeared to be the production crew passed by the long hallway. Among them, the man with his hat pressed down tapped the opponent’s arm as if he had come up with something.

“Hey, did you see the guy who came today?”

“Who?”

“The man with the pink hair.”

Whether or not Su-Gyeom is the only celebrity with pink hair, Su-Gyeom instinctively felt he was the one they were talking about.

It is said that it is a job to be talked about by others, but it is the first time he have heard someone’s conversation in this way, so Su-Gyeom held his breath, wondering what kind of story will come out.

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

“Look at you talking, madman.”

What…?

Su-Gyeom’s limbs stiffened at the unexpected words. Su-Gyeom was hiding in the corner to avoid Han-Sol, so Su-Gyeom seemed invisible in their sight.

They continued to walk dramatically and gossiped about Su-Gyeom.

“I don’t know if he is good at it, but I’m confused. Why does a guy look like that when he smiles and looks around?”

“Well, wouldn’t it be like hormones?”

“Oh, female hormones?”

“I’m sure you’ll see the angle.”Their voices grew distant, but their conversation sounded exceptionally loud to Su-Gyeom. Thump, thump, thump, thump.

At that time, an idea flashed through Su-Gyeom’s head.

There was Han-Sol at the end of this road. If Han-Sol hears their conversation…….

At the same time, it occurred to Su-Gyeom that Han-Sol was involved in an assault case in his previous life. The place he saw on the CCTV is different, but he remembered that time for some reason.

Without further consideration, Su-Gyeom ran out of the corner and stood in the hallway. Then he took a big breath and shouted out loud.

“Han-Sol!”

The two people walking ahead heard Su-Gyeom’s voice ringing loudly in the hallway and looked back reflectively. The two looked surprised and closed their mouths when they saw Su-Gyeom. They felt a stab in their conscience.

Han-Sol was still far away and tilted his head as if wondering at Su-Gyeom’s call. He smiled broadly and waved his hand. Then he started running in Su-Gyeom’s direction.

The two would have continued to talk with indecent remarks against Su-Gyeom, and Han-Sol would hear it. When he thought about it, Su-Gyeom naturally became fed up.

While he was approaching Su-Gyeom, the two walked quickly through the hallway.

Han-Sol approached Su-Gyeom with a bright face without knowing anything.

“Why are you here?”

“Uh, that’s….”

“You came out because you missed me, didn’t you? So that’s what you called.”

“Huh? Yeah, that’s right.”

He was too worried to say any excuse. That’s how much Su-Gyeom was out of his mind.

It left a deep scratch on his chest.

In fact, one of the reasons why he got the military disease in his past life was because of similar things.

Su-Gyeom suffered from various rumors and malicious comments because of his appearance. In this life, he vowed to use his pretty face even with that, but he couldn’t help but feel heartbroken when he heard someone say such things.

Besides, it was not just a rumor. It was sexual harassment. He couldn’t get out of the shock easily.

“Hey, what’s wrong?”

Han-Sol also seemed to notice his strange reaction. He examined Su-Gyeom’s expression with a serious face. Only then did Su-Gyeom laugh, but it seemed too late.

“What’s the matter?”

“No, what? It’s just that I’m tired, I’m tired.”

“I don’t think so. You don’t look tired.”

“Even so. It’s because I didn’t sleep well. You must have heard the conversation with Songhwa earlier.”

“Are you not lying?”

“Yes.”

Su-Gyeom pulled up the corners of his mouth as if nothing had happened. Still, Han-Sol did not erase his worried look at the response, but he did not inquire further. Thinking that it was fortunate enough, Su-Gyeom sighed with relief.

There was a strange silence between the two people walking in the hallway. Han-Sol thought about what Su-Gyeom was thinking, and Su-Gyeom could not escape the shock earlier.

After walking for such a long time, the two of them came to the waiting room.

Today, the timing was right, so he stepped in and solved it before something happened, but he couldn’t do it every time. Su-Gyeom feared how Han-Sol would react if something like this happened again one day.

Su-Gyeom was worried that this might be why Hansol assaulted the staff in his previous life.

“You know, Sol.”

“Yes.”

“Just in case…….”

“Hyung, tell me. It’s all right.”

Su-Gyeom hesitated for a long time and eventually opened his mouth. Su-Gyeom’s eyes shook uneasily, and his lips trembled.

“No matter what happens, no violence. Got it?”

“……Why are you saying that all of a sudden?”

“It’s just….”

“I know the story that I hit someone in my previous life because I’ve done it before. I still don’t get it, but I’m thinking about it. Just in case, I’ll ensure it won’t affect U-PITE.”

Su-Gyeom was relieved by Han-Sol’s serious words. Still, it was comforting to hear that Han-Sol was seriously thinking and being careful about the assault case.

Of course, it may be unfair and difficult for Han-Sol to care about things that have not happened in his current life, but in the end, it will be better than nothing.

However, this idea of Su-Gyeom was just an illusion.

“But no matter how often I think about it, the conclusion is the same. I’m sure it was because he deserved it. I don’t think I would have done it for no reason.”

“Sol.”

“Why the hell did I do that? What would make me angry enough to hit someone? I’ve been thinking and thinking, but there’s only one answer. If someone curses you, hyung, if he hurts you then I’ll hurt him. I won’t be able to stand it.”

Han-Sol’s words were unshakable. He went on with a serious look.

Su-Gyeom swallowed a dry spit at the words. It was because he thought the anxious premonition would become a reality.

“I’ll be as careful as I can…… I can’t promise. If someone curses at you, I’m not confident of it. I’m sorry.”

Su-Gyeom closed his mouth several times because he didn’t know what to do.

Then Han-Sol opened his mouth.

“……I would have done the same in my previous life.”

“…….”

“I know, I know very well. That’s why I can tell. Why did I do that in my past life? If someone cursed Hyung, I wouldn’t put up with it. I will do the same.”

Han-Sol, go and hit someone up. Though just do it in your head.
