A Failed Idol’s Rise to Bottom

In the evening, a total of six chickens were ordered, including chicken breast and chicken leg, for Han-Sol, who likes chicken and Su-Gyeom, who likes moist chicken.

In terms of figures, it was 1.2 chickens per person, but in reality, Tae-Won ate up to the amount that Su-Gyeom could not eat.

Su-Gyeom, who prefers seasoned chicken to fried chicken, lit up when he saw a piece of chicken seasoned with Cheongyang red pepper and mayonnaise.

His mouth was drooling from the appetizing appearance. As he was about to open his mouth to take a bite of steaming chicken.

“So, what do you want to say?”

“Oh.”

Su-Gyeom was in a situation where he said he had something to tell the members before eating the chicken. Well, he forgot what to say because he was fascinated by chicken.

Su-Gyeom, who was conscious of Lee-Gyeom’s question, looked at the chicken with a regretful eye and tried to put it down on the plate.

Then, Tae-Won said, “Eat it.”

“It’s okay, you can eat and talk at the same time” he said to soothe Su-Gyeom.Su-gyeom, who was encouraged by his actions, took a big bite of the boneless leg this time.

“Ugh!”

“Speak Korean.”

“’It’s delicious!”

Su-Gyeom shouted resentfully at Lee Gyeom. He felt sad for a while, and then quickly became happy with the taste of chicken in his mouth.

Lee-Gyeom, who saw his happy expression, shook his head and murmured.

“Anyway, it’s simple.”

“What? They say they don’t touch dogs when eating, but what kind of human being would argue when a Korean is eating chicken?”

Lee-Gyeom closed his mouth when he realized who Su-gyeom’s target is. Anyway, he was a guy who couldn’t please him even if he wanted to.

“Anyway, what I was going to say is! I was wondering what it would be like to make our comeback song “Wish flower.”

“You’re saying to do it as the main song, not the b-track, right?”

Yoo-Chan seemed surprised, but Su-gyeom seemed to like his idea. His expression was quite bright. Of course, not only that, but Han-Sol also nodded satisfactorily.

“I agree! I totally agree.”

Han-Sol actively agreed with Su-Gyeom’s opinion. Su-gyeom, who was encouraged by the reaction, decidedly took the momentum.

“I thought it would be nice to release a digital album and perform several times when we make a comeback. I think it’s going to be early spring, so I think it’ll fit well

“Well, it doesn’t matter to me, but I don’t know what other people would think.”

“I got an ok from the director.”

“Huh? When?”

Su-Gyeom said that he got permission from the director to ease Tae-Won’s worries, but Tae-Won’s expression darkened for a moment.Though he quickly returned to his usual self.

Su-gyeom answered his question while tilting his head at his unexpected response.

“I sneaked out earlier.”

“Alone?”

“Sure. I persuaded the director well myself.”

“Why are you going there alone?”

“Oh… Just… It’s not like I can’t go alone, right??”

Su-Gyeom was quite embarrassed by his question. He expected him to praise him for persuading the director alone, but his response was far from praise. On the contrary, it was like he made a mistake.

“No.”

“Eh? No?”

“Oh, no.”

Su-Gyeom asked back, surprised by Tae-Won’s firm answer. Nevertheless, the same answer came back.Surprised, Su-gGeom carefully opened his mouth, wondering if Tae-Won was trying to tease him or if it was real.

“Why?”

“The director doesn’t like it.”

“Oh, really? He didn’t tell that to me! Did he really say that?”

“Yes.”

It was a rather slow answer by half a beat, but he definitely said “Uh-huh”.

Tae-Won then gulped down Sprite.Su-Gyeom still couldn’t tell if it was real or not, so he narrowed his eyes and looked at Tae-won.

“It’s real.”

“Really? I had no idea because he didn’t tell me that. Thanks for letting me know.”

This time, even Yoo-chan helped out. Only then could Su-Gyeom fully believe Tae-Won’s words. He wondered when the director talked about it without him, but it seemed that Tae-Won’s words were since Yoo-Chan, not just anyone else, agreed with him.

“What? Su-Gyeom. Why can’t you trust me when I say it, but when Yoo-Chan say it, you believe it right away?”

“Uh… I think you’re going to mess around, but not Yoo-Chan.”

“Wow, that’s too much.”

“But it’s true.”

When asked by Tae-Won, Su-Gyeom replied with a harmless expression. He didn’t mean to accuse Tae-Won of being good at lying. However, Tae-Won was so playful and Yoo-Chan was serious compared to him trying to make fun of Su-Gyeom. Therefore, of course, among the two, he had no choice but to trust Yoo Chan’s words more.

“What have I done?”

“You deserve it. Anyway, that’s how I feel.”

To Tae-Won, who seemed to think it is unfair, Su-Gyeom just shrugged off his shoulders and picked up a new piece of chicken with chopsticks.

“Lee-Gyeom, what do you think about releasing a digital single with wish flower?”

“It doesn’t matter much. I like that song.”

“Right! I think so, too.”

Su-Gyeom responded excitedly to Lee-Gyeom’s answer.Although Lee-Gyeom may not have a memory of making a wish in the snowflake together, Su-Gyeom became nostalgic enough just by his own memory.

Su-Gyeom would have been disappointed if the person who made such a vague memory together had a different opinion than him.

“Then I’ll tell the director.”

“No, I’ll just do it.”

“Wouldn’t it be better for me to do it because I’m the one who suggested it?”

Su-Gyeom carefully expressed his opinion at Lee-Gyeom’s words. Of course, it’s much more comfortable for Lee-Gyeom to tell him. He is a “good” person who can relieve the hassle.

“I had to go to the director anyway.”

“Oh, really? Then… Are you going alone? Then do you want me to come with you?”

“Oh?”

Su-Gyeom’s eyes narrowed because of his reaction as if he were embarrassed. It was because he could hardly understand his reaction.

“I heard the director told us not to come alone. If you don’t have anyone to go with, I’ll go with you.”

“I’m going to go with Tae-Won.”

“Right, Tae-won?”

“Oh, yeah. I did.”

When asked by Lee-Gyeom, Tae-Won shook his head. At that moment, their eyes exchanged signals with each other, but Su-Gyeom did not notice the silent conversation between the two because half of his mind was focused on chicken.

“Okay, then you’ll be fine.”

Only then did Su-Gyeom look satisfied. Of course, there was still a thought in the corner of his mind, “Shouldn’t I still go and tell him?” but there was no reason to insist on Lee-Gyeom’s offer to do something annoying for him.

Su-gyeom picked up a piece of chicken and took a full bite. The delicious chicken was already more delicious because he thought he had saved the hassle.

***

Thanks to Su-Gyeom’s claim, the song for the first digital single was eventually chosen as the wish flower. Naturally, there was opposition from the working-level staff, but thanks to Seo-Wook’s quick arrangement, the opposition from the working-level staff did not even reach U-PITE’s ears.

Thanks to this, Su-Gyeom was very satisfied that things went smoothly according to his opinion without knowing Seo-Wook’s efforts.Su-Gyeom, who received the part distribution, has been listening to his part for an hour.

Since he have memories of his past life, he didn’t have to listen to his part hard because he could already sing it in his sleep.

However, Su-Gyeom was just happy because the song itself was good, and that he could sing this song to more people.No matter how good the songs on the regular album were, they were not the title songs, and it was difficult to get a response from the general public unless they were on stage.

Su-Gyeom knew about this, so he insisted on Wish Flower as a digital single song.In the end, it turned out as he wanted, so he was naturally satisfied.It was time to focus on the earphones in his ear and play his part again, when he heard someone knocking on the door.

I was confused at first but according to this chapter, the part where Lee-Gyeom and Su-Gyeom made a wish happened in their past life so Lee-Gyeom is not aware of it. It is not specify where the flashback started in Ch32 so even I am not aware. Thanks for Allie and SadieWoods for the Ko-Fi
