A Failed Idol’s Rise to Bottom

Chapter 74

While Su-Gyeom was mesmerized and looking at the four people, the cell phone was constantly ringing. Their eyes seemed to say, Dont answer the phone, but they couldnt ignore the call from the director, the agencys top authority. There was no reasonable reason to do so.

Hello, hello?

In the end, Su-Gyeom answered the phone while looking at the members. He thought that he might get burned by the intense gaze.

-Whats wrong with your voice?

-Whats the matter?

Seo-Wook seemed to have noticed something strange as soon as he heard Su-Gyeoms voice.

The reason was clear. It was because the four people in front were glaring at Su-Gyeom. They are also the same people who confessed to him.

But even if his mouth was torn, Su-Gyeon couldnt say it straight. Oh, no. He wouldnt do it even if his mouth was torn.

Oh, nothing.

Su-Gyeom lied.

-Somethings wrong. If you dont tell me, Ill go now.

Oh, nothings going on.

-Ill go now.

Now, hold on Director? Director?

Su-Gyeom shouted vainly at the disconnected cell phone. Its amazing that he noticed something happened in that short call. Su-Gyeom couldnt believe that the director of the agency would run right away.

Moreover, it was close to midnight now. Even if it was a lover, they would not necessarily go right away at this late hour. Su-Gyeom was embarrassed that the director would know what was going on.

It occurred to me. It would have been better that way. Only then did Su-Gyeom feel much more relieved.

The director is coming.

now?

Yes, now.

So, please get out of here.

He couldnt actually say those words but his lips turned upwards. Su-Gyeom answered Lee-Gyeoms question as if he had been waiting and looked at the four with expectations.

However, contrary to what was expected, the four stood still and remained in place. They even started to have a mysterious conversation that was not understandable to Su-Gyeom.

Its better.

I know. At this point, we have to ensure everything is sorted

Thats right. We cant do this forever.

I think so too.

What are they even talking about?

He doesnt know the meaning of the conversation, but for some reason, Su-Gyeoms eyes trembled uneasily because it was not a good sign for him.

Well, what are you talking about?

We will arrange it.

Su-Gyeom swallowed his dry saliva and opened his mouth again.

Well, what do you mean by that? What do you want to organize? Wait, answer me! What do you mean, what is it, what is it! The four of them left Su-Gyeoms room like what they had been holding out until a while ago was all a lie.

It was very grateful that those who were about to take off Su-Gyeoms pants immediately stepped down on their own, but when they stepped down like this, it was uncomfortable.

Su-Gyeom called the four urgently, but none of them stopped. He even looked determined as if he was going to war.

At this point, Su-Gyeom couldnt stay still either. Su-Gyeom quickly followed the members to the living room.

Whats that?

Four people turned after hearing Su-Gyeoms voice. However, the energy from them was terrible, so Su-Gyeom soon regretted his actions.

Why, why do you Is that so Im curious because youre talking nonsense.

Su-Gyeom lowered his voice and muttered as if he were making excuses in a crawling voice.

Then Han-Sol burst into a small laugh. However, it was completely different from the bright smile he usually showed, which made him feel good just by looking at it.

Hyung, do you really want to know?

Uh.

Su-Gyeom barely answered Han-Sols question after swallowing his dry saliva.

In fact, he have some bad premonition in his mind until he gave a short answer. It was because he was afraid to know the truth when he thought it was something that kind and warm Han-Sol could ask like that. Why, isnt there a saying that ignorance is bliss? Thats how heavy he felt when he said, Do you really want to know?

Its the difference between four or five.

What?

Su-Gyeom couldnt get rid of the feeling that he heard something he shouldnt have heard.

He doesnt know, but the four probably meant the members. But why five?

Of course, there are five U-PITE members, including himself, but in context, it was strange to add him.

Then, no way.

Do you mean the director?

Su-Gyeom carefully put the anxious thoughts that flashed through his head, and soon burst into a false laugh and shook his head.

Haha, that cant be true.

How could it be, by any chance?

.

No, its not, is it?

.

Ah, answer me!

The only thing he heard was silence. Su-Gyeom didnt expect that not hearing an answer would be so nerve-wracking.

It was absurd that the director would like him, but at the same time, it was also ridiculous to think the members would fall for him.

Well, yes, he tried up to a hundred to a thousand and flirted with the members. The members misunderstood it and had a crush on him. Of course, this also didnt make sense in Su-Gyeoms common sense.

However, if Su-Gyeom had to add a reason, it was even possible to rationalize it by saying, Its his fault.

But the director was different.

Whats so regrettable about that great director, he likes a rookie idol who has nothing. The idol belongs to his company. Even the gender is the same.

Hey, no matter how hard it is, thats not it. Why would the director like me?

I can give you tens of thousands of reasons, why someone would like Hyung.

Yoo-Chan responded firmly to Su-Gyeoms self-deprecating words.

Su-Gyeom was honestly moved by his unexpected immediate answer.

Although his confession was still embarrassing, it made Su-Gyeoms heart cry when he heard from someone, There are tens of thousands of reasons to like you.

Even if he was not fond of the other person, anyone would be agitated by these words. Su-Gyeom soothes his trembling heart by self-justifying himself.

Uh, anyway, the director like me? I dont think so. Its impossible.

Well, whatever. Its fine.

Lee-Gyeom interrupted and answered.

If Lee-Gyeom had answered more seriously, it would have been easier for Su-Gyeom to deny it. However, when he tried to pass over the directors feelings as if it was nothing, it became more worrisome.

Su-Gyeom swallowed his dry saliva and looked at the four people nervously. Then Su-Gyeom immediately came to his senses. It was because it was time for the director to arrive soon.

Lets bounce. He should leave for now.

It was not something he would think about long enough. Su-Gyeom immediately rummaged in his pocket. Then, without delay, he entered the room and picked up the cell phone that was rolling on the bed. Su-Gyeom doesnt know where his wallet is, but there was a card linked to his cell phone, so it would work out somehow.

Where are you going?

Wherever. Dont look for me. Dont worry. I wont miss our schedule.

When Tae-Won asked, Su-Gyeom answered quickly and roughly wore his shoes. However, as soon as Su-Gyeom was about to open the front door, the door opened on its own.

To be exact, it was open outside. And the person who opened the door.

Director.

Su-Gyeom stepped back when he saw the person he didnt want to face the most right now.

I knew it! The director has feelings for our bb too.
