A Failed Idol’s Rise to Bottom - Chapter 25

Chapter 25

The members avoided Su-Gyeom for a few days. As time passed, it gradually returned to normal, but he felt strangely awkward the moment he thought it would not go back to normal .

And each time, the eyes of the four seemed to be pointing toward Su-Gyeom’s front, but it was probably just his feeling.

In the meantime, the time passed well and it finally became the day of filming the horror experience entertainment show that Su-Gyeom was waiting for.

The abandoned house in the middle of the mountain was the main filming site, and the courage test had to be conducted as a practice game before the main house experience.

The rules of the courage test were simple. The group was divided into three teams: Team A, Team B, and Team C. The team that would bring the flag on the set first would win the championship.It was a program organized by typical broadcasting stations, whose late-night snack menus vary depending on the ranking.

“Huh? But if there are five of us and there are three teams…”

“One person has to go alone.”

The main producer replied to Tae-Won’s question.

“What?”

“Alone?”

“Wow…”

“Alone? Oh no… How can I go alone?”

“I can’t, I can’t.”

The members reacted in shock to the PD’s words.The script received in advance also briefly said, “After conducting a preliminary courage test, a late-night snack eating show,” so they didn’t know that one person had to do a courage test alone.

Except, of course, Su-Gyeom, who has memories of his previous life.But Su-Gyeom pretended to be someone who didn’t know anything, and even reacted the most exaggeratedly among the five U-PITE members.

“If you draw the letter C, you need to go alone.”

Unlike the flustered members, the main producer was calm. Su-Gyeom cursed the producer inside, but only acted worriedly on the outside.

“I’m really scared.”Su-Gyeom cried.

Of course, it was hundreds times scarier to be an idol than seeing a ghost, but he had no desire to do a courage test alone.Su-Gyeom wasn’t very timid, but he wasn’t courageous either.

Yeah, he was just average.Of course, the fact that he is average is only Su-Gyeom’s own idea.

“I’ll go alone.”

Yoo-Chan, who was looking at Su-Gyeom’s sobbing, said in a calm voice. As a result, not only the U-PITE members but also all the staff members turned to Yoo-Chan.

Honestly, for Su-Gyeom he was grateful to Yoo-Chan, who said he would go alone. He looked cool. He was about to cry, he shouldn’t have allowed him to go alone like this for the sake of the broadcast. Su-Gyeom, who quickly calculated the broadcast amount, opened his mouth with an expression that seemed to cry right away.

“No, Yoo-Chan. How can you do that? Let’s draw lots fairly.”

“No, Hyung. I’ll just go alone… “Oh, why are you so slow-witted?Su-Gyeom gritted his teeth inside because of Yoo-Chan, who insisted on going alone again.

Of course, he didn’t want to do the courage test alone. However, he didn’t want to lose the amount of broadcasting.

At this moment, Su-Gyeom’s success was more important than anything else.In fact, in his previous life, Yoo-Chan insisted and went alone. And the draw, which would cause tension, was neatly edited, as well as the preliminary courage test.

The gap, which was empty was edited out, it was a long part of the abandoned house experience, and naturally, the fun was halved as they forced to edit out a lot of things.In the end, U-PITE failed to secure the fixed position, and the dream of a fixed entertainment program was overshadowed.

They can’t repeat the same thing in this life, ever.Su-Gyeom secretly gritted his teeth, vowing to do so.

“No. If you say you’re going alone from here, what do we become?”

“Yeah, Yoo-Chan. I don’t think that’s right.”

Even Han-Sol helped out with Su-Gyeom’s words. He also didn’t seem to want Yoo-Chan to go alone.Yoo-Chan, who faced opposition, opened his mouth with the spirit of saying something. Of course, Su-Gyeom was faster.

“Then I’ll pick first!”Su-gyeom reached into the draw box prepared by the production team before Yoo-Chan said anything.

A round ping pong ball was rolling in the barrel.

Su-Gyeom picked up a ball, praying that he would avoid the worst situation of going alone.

“I haven’t seen it yet. I haven’t seen it yet! Hurry up and pick everyone! ”

Su-Gyeom decided not to check the ball immediately for a little bit of tension. He waited until the members picked it all.Fortunately, the members also held the balls they picked one by one without checking them.

“Let’s show it to the camera at the same time on the count of three.”

“Okay.”

“Okay, let’s do it.”

“Okay.”

“Yes.”

Yoo-Chan also replied reluctantly as the members responded in turn.All five of them stood upright facing the camera with a ball in each hand. There was tension in its own way.

“One.”

“Two.”

“Three.”

Starting with Su-Gyeom’s “One,” all the members opened their mouths and counted. As promised, U-PITE shouted “three”and showed the ball they were holding toward the camera.

“How did it go? Oh, yes! I’m A!”

First, after showing a ball with letters on it so that the camera could check, Su-Gyeom quickly confirmed. Fortunately, the letter A was written in a large letter on the ball.

Su-Gyeom was genuinely happy.

To be honest, he was scared. It wasn’t just scary, it was very scary. He was so scared that he might have fallen down because he couldn’t do it if he had picked a C.

“Are you A? I’m A, too!”

“Wow, that’s awesome! Sol, are you A? Sol, you have to protect me.”

At Han-Sol’s words, Su-Gyeom immediately stood next to him and chattered. He was clean, timid, and faithful to his role.

“Oh, I’m B.”

“I’m B, too.”Yoo-Chan replied to Tae-Won’s words.

Since the two are B, Lee-Gyeom naturally became C and have to do the courage test alone.”Cha Lee-Gyeom, are you going alone? Oh no, our Lee-Gyeom… ”

Su-Gyeom said something he didn’t mean while being conscious of the camera.However, fans would like it just because he said, “Our Lee-Gyeom.”Su-Gyeom lightly threw the “Gyeom-Gyeom coupld” rice cake and stuck close to Han-Sol again.

This was also a camera-conscious behavior.

“Okay, I’ll hang up for a second.”

At the main producer’s words, Su-Gyeom slipped from Han-Sol’s side.They didn’t have to stick together more than necessary because they weren’t in the middle of filming.

“Su-Gyeom, are you sure you’re okay?”

“Yeah, I’m fine.”

‘I’m worried about you.”

“‘Yes, I’m worried about me, too.”

Su-Gyeom noticed that Lee-Gyeom was pointing at him with his head. Then, Tae-Won also sighed deeply.

“Su-Gyeom, what should I do? Aren’t you going to faint?”

“Don’t say terrible things. Words become seeds.”

Su-Gyeom replied curtly. He is already scared, but his anxiety doubled because they seemed to encourage more fear around him.

In fact, in his previous life, Su-Gyeom almost fainted halfway.

His eyes were half closed, and he was busy being scared by the small noise. Thanks to this, he couldn’t remember the course of the courage test at all.

“Hey, are you sure you’re all right?”

“I don’t think it’s going to be okay, but… Sol will do something for me. I trust you, Sol!”

When asked by Yoo-Chan’s worried question, Su-Gyeom raised Han-Sol next to him.In fact, Han-Sol was the only thing Su-Gyeom could trust. Fortunately, Han-Sol wasn’t very timid, so it would have been okay if he moved close to him.

“U-PITE, be ready!”At the producer’s words, U-PITE gathered again in front of the camera after a short break.Su-Gyeom looked at the camera coyly and hit the slate with both arms.

The shooting began with this.

“Team A, let’s go!”

“I’ll set a record!”

Su-Gyeom looked at the camera in an envious and cheerful voice to soothe his scary heart. Then Han-Sol also smiled brightly and drew a V with his hands.

The courage test was conducted without one of the common VJs. Of course, there was no way that there was a lighting or anything.Facing the end of the dark road, Su-Gyeom automatically swallowed his dry saliva.

“Let’s go, Hyung.”

“Uh, yes…”

Su-Gyeom secretly grabbed Han-Sol’s arm, responding uneasily to Han-Sol’s words. At this point, Su-Gyeom was almost unaware of whether he was acting or not. Su-Gyeom moved slowly with Han-Sol, who was taking a step first.

The night air in the mountain was as cold as it could be. Su-Gyeom trembled in the chilly air. No matter how much he tried to remember the memories of his previous life, he could only remembered what he was shaking in fear. He couldn’t think of anything that could help.
