A Failed Idol’s Rise to Bottom

Chapter 11

"Hey, you go ahead."

Sugyeom didn't forget to give off a nuance that he was embarrassed and couldn't answer.

"Oh, the choreograph instructor had suggested it. I didn't expect our fans to like it this muchThank you."

Igyeom had a straightforward personality and Sugyeom knew as such. That was why he had also expected him not to lie and say the choreography was their idea.

Pleased with the situation that was going as planned, he followed up with what Igyeom had said.

"Ah, but we really didn't know that? We didn't know what it would look likeAnyway, thatWe also watched it, that's uh, something like that? I mean, it seemed there was an innocent misunderstanding?"

Of course it was a complete lie. Sugyeom naturally thought it would look like a kiss. That was why in his previous life he even had the choreography changed by insisting that he didn't want to do it even if it killed him.

However, rather than openly say he didn't know anything, he had answered in such a way to stimulate the fans' imaginations more subtly and organically.

And instead of directly mentioning the word kiss, he had said, "something like that?" In that way, it would seem like a roundabout way of him expressing that he was embarrassed and shy.

As if responding to his efforts, the reactions to his response grew even more heated.

[Really crazy]

[He said he didn't knowHow can he not knowThat's so like Sugyeom]

[Inclusive choreographer instructor, I bow my head to you]

[I'm going to hit my forehead when I see the choreographerI'll be waiting for the 2nd round]

[I want another misunderstanding]

As expected, the reactions were passionate. Sugyeom swallowed a smile inside and widened his eyes as if he knew nothing.

"A viewer asked Yuchan how it feels to be an adult."

All eyes turned to Yuchan.

Sugyeom also looked straight at Yuchan with a smile on his face. And perhaps because he had felt Sugyeom's gaze, but Yuchan looked directly at Sugyeom. As a result, the eyes of the two became intertwined in the air.

It was just an instant, but Sugyeom had felt bashful meeting Yuchan's eyes. It was from staring into Yuchan's deep, dark eyes.

Yuchan said nothing as if he was lost in thought, but he soon slowly opened his mouth.

"The fact that I'm now an adult, I still can't believe it."

"Ah, of course. It hasn't even been a day."

When Hansol remarked jokingly, the other members abruptly laughed in response.

It wasn't until the members' laughter died down did Yuchan continue.

"Only now did it hit meBut I'm still not sure yet. To be honest, I was scared of becoming an adult. I've never lived as an adult before, but the fact that I'm an adult from now on is a bit awkward and overwhelming"

Everyone listened to Yuchan's sincere words. They had all experienced it, so they were naturally more empathetic.

Sugyeom was like that too. After becoming an adult, the treatment and gaze from society felt burdensome and unfamiliar simply because the one had become a two.

He was happy there was more freedom he could enjoy as an adult, but he was also afraid. Knowing such feelings made him more sympathetic to Yuchan's words.

"But last night, Sugyeom-hyung cheered me on a lot, so I feel much better."

Sugyeom widened his eyes at Yuchan's words. It was because he hadn't expected him to tell yesterday's story.

According to Yuchan's personality, he wouldn't have talked about yesterday's incident in more detail than what was already said. So since Yuchan had thrown a hot topic, Sugyeom decided to take the bait.

"Hey, you didn't need to say that."

Sugyeom fanned himself and even covered his face with his hands as if he was ashamed. It was as if there was something that shouldn't be talked about.

[What happened last night?]

[Say it in detail, guys. Let's know together]

[Taewon's face is working hard today..Taewon's face is working so hard noona is sympathetic]

[Song Sugyeom, why are you embarrassed?!!!!!!!!!!]

[What reason is for Song Sugyeom to be embarrassed?]

Sure enough, the comments became heated again. The other members were also looking at Sugyeom and Yuchan alternately with round eyes.

The more they did that, the more Sugyeom acted passionately, even blushing his cheeks.

"Oh, nothing happened. No, it's not something like that."

No one said what something like that was, so when Sugyeom put it in his mouth first, the comment window burned.

[What do you mean what do you mean what do you mean!!!!1]

[What's thatI'm really spinning, Sugyeom. Hurry up and tell us.]

[I'm getting dizzy]

[English plz : ) ]

[A Korean entertainer speaks Korean on a Korean show. What English please?]

[Let's put a +19 rating and talk openly]

[Guys, I'm spinningspinning]

Sugyeom knew it was time to take a step back. The fans' curiosity would be amplified if he slowly took his foot off the pedal when things were heating up.

"No, it's just that he became an adult. As his hyungI gave Yuchan some advice because I cared about him. But now that I think about it, I sounded like a kkondae. Ugh, I'm really embarrassed to think about it again."

(Note: Kkondae means forcing your thinking onto others.)

Sugyeom gave Yuchan a subtle look, hoping that all of this would be caught live on camera.

"What, what happened to you two last night?"

"Yeah, how can you leave us out? How can you do this?"

Hansol responded to Taewon.

Although the two laughed it off playfully, Igyeom didn't say anything. Sugyeom, who noticed it, immediately tapped Igyeom on the shoulder.

"What, Igyeom. Why aren't you saying anything? Are you perhaps jealous?"

"No, I'm not jealous."

"Eh, I think you look jealous?"

"It's not like that."

Igyeom was naturally quiet and was even less talkative in interviews and live broadcasts. Knowing that, Sugyeom pushed him as if he was jealous.

The comment window also went wild with comments such as, Black-Gyeom is jealous.'

Subsequently, there was small talk such as a Q&A on how the members have been doing.

Meanwhile, the scheduled end to the broadcast came.

"It's unfortunate, but we'll be on our way now! Happy New Year!"

"Thank you. Signing off."

"Our fans, be careful not to catch a cold! Dress warmly, promise!"

"Happy New Year."

Starting with Taewon, Igyeom, Hansol, and Yuchan, everyone said their goodbyes. Sugyeom smiled brightly, waving his hands at the camera.

"We'll be right back! Until then, see you next time!"

The broadcast ended with Sugyeom's bright goodbye.

Even though the broadcast was over, the members stayed in their seats for a while as they quietly looked around.

It was to prevent accidents such as having their conservations heard if there was an error when the broadcast was turned off.

After Minseong confirmed that the broadcast was completely shut off, he signaled that they could move.

"Thank you for your efforts."

Taewon thanked as he stood up. Following him, the other members also thanked as they stood up one by one. The members left the conference room after everyone was thanked.

Sugyeom also followed the other members in front with short, quick steps. However, he was caught by Igyeom from behind.

"Hey, Song Sugyeom."

"What?"

Sugyeom asked, trying to smooth out his voice that was about to burst roughly. He just wanted to head back to the accommodation to change and rest, so he was a little annoyed when he was caught by Igyeom.

"You"

Although Igyeom had stopped Sugyeom, it seemed he was having trouble knowing what to say. Meanwhile, not only the other members but also the staff had left the conference room, so the two were left alone.

"Hurry up and say it. Why did you call me?"

Sugyeom impatiently pushed for Igyeom to speak.

Igyeom, who had been quivering his lips for a while, finally opened his mouth slowly.

"Song SugyeomLast night with YuchanWhat did you do?"

"What?"

What was Igyeom asking out of the blue?

Sugyeom blinked his eyes in surprise as his thick eyelashes fluttered.

"I meanWhat did you do with Yuchan last night?"
