A Failed Idol’s Rise to Bottom

Chapter 73

Ten minutes ago.

There was a strange air current in the accommodation. Su-Gyeom entered the room with a bright expression early on and was about to leave the room. Except for Su-Gyeom, only the remaining four members sat in the living room and were immersed in their own thoughts.

Tae-Won Hyung, where are you going?

Huh? Im just, no, Han-Sol. Why are you curious about that?

No, well, cant I be curious?

Thats not true, but.

When Tae-Won got serious, Han-Sol stopped. However, he still stared at Tae-Wons behavior. As if he were watching him.

At that time, this time, Yoo-chan, who was sitting at the corner of the sofa, jumped out of his seat. Then, Lee-Gyeom sitting closest to Yoo-chan blocked him.

Where are you going?

In my room.

Our room is over there.

At Yoo-Chans words, Lee-Gyeom pointed toward a room. Yoo-Chans face hardened whether the behavior was unpleasant or whether he did not like this situation itself. Yoo-Chan answered in a stiff tone.

Im going to go to Su-Gyeom Hyungs room.

Why?

Is there any reason why I should tell you why?

Yes, there is.

Really? Whats the reason?

Yoo-Chan twisted the corners of his mouth as if interested in Lee-Gyeoms words. However, Lee-Gyeom remained cold and did not take his eyes off Yoo-chan.

Your answer will change my behavior.

.

If you want to fight, go out and fight. Dont let Su-Gyeom know. Youll worry him.

Tae-Won spoke to the tense atmosphere. Tae-won, who usually boasts of a shifty personality, has been standing still. In fact, Tae-Won was not the only one who was sharp unlike usual. All four of them did.

In fact, Su-Gyeom, who was still in the room, could not have known the atmosphere of the four in the living room. Nevertheless, Tae-Won mentioned Su-Gyeom because there was nothing else that could effectively calm everyone.

This part was definitely true because it applied to Tae-Won himself.

And it quickly proved that he was right. Yoo-Chan and Lee-Gyeom were still looking at each other, but there was no more argument.

Thanks to the two of them closing their mouths, there was a heavy silence in the living room. The four men watched each others faces and remained silent. The heavy, stuffy atmosphere lasted quite a long time.

How long are we going to stay like this?

Han-Sol asked in a self-help voice. Three people looked at Han-Sol. Han-Sol received all the attention, shrugged his shoulders, and continued to talk.

Were like a fool. Its such a waste of time.

.

It seems like everyone knows how they feel, but how long are we going to be doing this fight within ourselves?

Tae-Wons eyes hardened at his words. Lee-Gyeom clenched his fist, and Yoo-Chan bit his lower lip.

It was because they understood Han-Sols meaning.

Han-Sol was not simply self-admiring this situation in which the four are sitting motionless in the living room, checking each other in check. It was referring to the fact that each of them had been fighting between themselves, being joyous and sorrowful at every word of Su-Gyeom until now.

For a moment, there was a subtly different silence between the four. But even that was for a while.

Soon four people rose from their seats at the same time. They looked straight toward the door where Su-Gyeom was.

***

Then back to the present.

Su-Gyeom lifted the blanket lying on the bed in a hurry and wrapped his whole body. Of course, he knew that it was not enough to stop the four men surrounded by madness with only one blanket, but now heI literally had to hold on to straws.

Su-Gyeom wrapped in a blanket, stuck his head out while checking the condition of the people surrounding him. No one would notice their difference at first glance, but if you look closely one would notice their eyes were bloodshot.

Su-Gyeom was alert as his instinct told him and threatened the four.

Just come closer. I wont let you go, really.

He made the greatest threat he could do without knowing what he was going to do. It didnt seem like much use.

Listen to me, my man. I just turned used some aggression to make our group successful. I accepted my character. I mean

So everything youve done so far has been done to attract attention, right? Without self-interest?

Oh, yeah. Thats right.

Su-Gyeom answered quickly to Lee-Gyeoms calm question. When Su-Gyeom admitted it, he felt like he became a great piece of trash as he remembered the actions that passed by in his head, but he would rather be a piece of trash than receive a hole dug by these guys.

Sure enough, four people faltered at Su-Gyeoms answer. Each of them seemed lost in thought.

Su-Gyeom swallowed his dry saliva and looked at the four faces carefully. Although the situation is permanent, he hoped the four of them will turn around, saying, Ah ha, it was a misunderstanding.

I dont care if thats the case.

After silence, Yoo-Chan opened his mouth. The words that came out of his mouth were quite embarrassing.

Shocked, Su-Gyeoms mouth turned wide open.

What do you mean it doesnt matter? It doesnt matter, man! Who doesnt care?!

There were many words that came to mind, but maybe because he was so embarrassed, Su-Gyeom couldnt say anything. There was nothing he could do but look at Yoo-Chan with a lost look on his face.

Because my heart is sincere.

UhUhUh?

Su-Gyeom was taken aback by Yoo-Chans unexpected confession. He was confused and wondered if he heard him right.

Youre going to confess all of a sudden? Here? Now? Between the same members?

Su-Gyeom is retracing Yoo-chans words stupidly, but this time Han-Sol opened his mouth.

Me too, me too. I thought about it hundreds, thousands of times. What the hell is wrong with my heart? Its a conclusion after a long thought. So its okay to say even if Hyungs actions were not sincere.

What?

I wont say this to any member with a light heart. I thought hard enough, thought hard enough, and suffered from my feelings. So, Su-Gyeom, please listen to it seriously.

Following Han-Sol, Tae-Won added in an unwavering voice.

Now Su-Gyeom wandered around rolling his eyes around without a place to look. Then, he met Lee-Gyeoms eyes. He was looking at Su-Gyeom with strange eyes and his emotions were unknown.

Su-Gyeom looked at Lee-Gyeom with half-anticipation and half-anxiety mixed eyes. Half of them said no, sorry for the misunderstanding, and half of them hoped that they would turn around, and they were worried about what to do if even that human being said, I mean it.

And it didnt last long either. It was because Lee-Gyeom opened his mouth with a firm expression.

I like you.

What??

Its not because you did something, its not because you said something, its just that I like you.

what?

So it doesnt matter. What you used to act like that for.

Su-Gyeom couldnt say anything to Lee-Gyeoms heavy and serious words. Su-Gyeom didnt expect Lee-Gyom to say that. He was confused, and if so, he wondered when Lee-Gyeom liked him. And yet he didnt want to know. If Su-Gyeom finds out, his relationship with him wont be the same as before.

So think about it from now on. If its something youve done without much thought, now you should think about it.

Lee-Gyeoms words were like an ultimatum. Su-Gyeom couldnt think of anything to say and could only open his lips mindlessly.

Instead, Su-Gyeom looked at Yoo-Chan, who usually side with him the best.

He also confessed, but now he had no time to argue about it. Su-Gyeom had vague expectations that Yoo-Chan would help him in this crisis.

However, Su-Gyeoms idea was just an illusion. Yoo-Chan spoke in a voice that was more serious and determined than ever.

Ill do my best to seduce Hyung.

Su-Gyeom was surprised and opened his mouth wide at what he had never imagined he would hear from Yoo-Vhan.

And then Su-Gyeoms cell phone began to ring loudly.

Su-Gyeom looked at the cell phone screen while looking at the four of them.

[Director]

When he saw the name on the cell phone screen, a deep relief became evident on Su-Gyeoms face. Su-Gyeom opened his mouth looking at the four people in high spirits at the thought that he could live now.

I got a call, a call! I got a call from the director. So well talk about it later..

Su-Gyeom thought that the four of them would fall behind and become calm after hearing that it was the director, the most powerful person in the agency. On the contrary, he felt the atmosphere of the four people burning even hotter.

This I told you it is the director calling.

Su-Gyeom could not imagine that the four became more triggered when they heard Director, from his mouth, it quickly resonated in the room and quickly disappeared.

This is the perfect confession scene for our foxy Su-Gyeom.
