A Failed Idol’s Rise to Bottom - Chapter 41
Chapter 41
On the day of recording <Wish Flower>, U-PITE headed to the company early in the morning.
As it is a digital single album, there was originally no music video filming. However, he insisted that he would like to film a simple scene. Su-Gyeom pestered him for them to record a song and make it a music video, and Seo-Wook eventually decided to listen to him.
So normally, he would have recorded with a styled haired, but today he decided to record after getting as natural makeup and hair as possible.
As there were five people, it took quite a long time to put on makeup. Su-Gyeom dozed off and got his makeup done.
“What did our fairy do last night to be so tired?”
“Don’t say that because it’s embarrassing…”
Song-Ha’s words brushed past his ears, but Su-Gyeom couldn’t open his heavy eyelids. Instead, he murmured a complaint only through his mouth.
“Su-Gyeom is cute even when he complains”
Of course, it was not only Song-Ha who would give in to Su-Gyeom’s small grumbling.Song Ha is a character specialized in silly comments, and she frequently made silly comments to all the members of U-PITE, but Su-gyeom was the prettiest among them. The cutest or what.
Meanwhile, Su-Gyeom’s makeup is done. Unlike stage makeup, it was light makeup.
Soon after, the styling began. Soo-Jin, who has been with them since their debut, was in charge of the hair.
“Your roots have grown a lot. Su-Gyeom if you bleached and dyed your hair that much, just start growing pink hair your own.”
Soo-Jin mumbled, clicking her tongue. Su-Gyeom also sympathized with the words. It was because he was tired of repeating bleaching and dyeing every time.
“Today, it’s just a natural concept as a whole, so I’m going to look like I’m doing my hair, but won’t actually be doing it.”
Soo-Jin, who knows that Su-Gyeom sleeps with Tae-Won’s knee on every car, warned in a stern voice. Su-Gyeom replied coldly because there was nothing else to say as an excuse. It was because she knew Soo-Jin’s fiery personality well.
“Su-Gyeom was really pretty when he had black hair, too. I’m so sad that people couldn’t see Su-Gyeom when he had black hair. I like pink-haired Su-Gyeom, but I want him to have black hair. I’ve never seen such a pure person in the world.”
“I agree. I agree. When he has black hair, he’s so handsome. It’s really pretty.”
“Right. As expected, you have an eye for it. When I first saw Su-Gyeom, I thought he was a foreigner.”
“I wondered why a fairy was going to be an idol.”
“I thought a fairy was going to be an idol.”
Song-Ha was interrupting Soo-Jin’s talk to herself, and the conversation between the two quickly led to a silly battle.Whether Su-Gyeom’s earlobes in the middle were inflamed with shame or not, the battle between the two never ended.
“It’s over.”
Finally, after the hair was done, Su-Gyeom was truly relieved that he could escape from the embarrassment caused by endless silly comments.
The outfit was jeans and an ivory hoodie. The scarf was burgundy, and the outerwear was a rather boxy beige tteokbokki coat. The sleeves of the hoodie were long, so it was a length that slightly covered the back of the hand.
Su-Gyeom liked the pretty cute coordination even when he saw it.Come to think of it, U-PITE was a group that had no controversy over costumes in its previous life. As such, stylist Song Ha’s sense stood out.
Su-gyeom laughed with satisfaction and looked at Lee-Gyeom standing next to him as he had already finished preparing.He was all black, wearing black pants and a black turtleneck and a black coar over it. However, the inside of the coar was white, so it didn’t look stuffy.
“What are you looking at?”
“I’m looking at it with my own eyes, can’t I?”
Su-Gyeom, who’s anger from the previous day hasn’t vanished, replied sharply. Then, Lee-Gyeom muttered.
“Do as you please.”
While the two were doing that, Tae-Won appeared. He was wearing a gray sweatshirt and a rather dark blue jeans and a nighty green padded coat.
“Su-Gyeom’s eyes feels hot.”
“Of course, I’m a person who has a lot of things accumulated from you.”
Tae-Won burst into laughter as if he was dumbfounded by Su-Gyeom’s words. Then, he squinted and looked down at Su-Gyeom.
“Oh, what’s wrong with you, Su-Gyeom?”
“Do you know how much humiliation I received yesterday because of hyung?”
“No, what are you talking about?”
Tae-Won tilted his head to Su-Gyeom’s resentment.
That’s why he left the room yesterday and went straight to the practice room to practice dancing.
When he came back from practice, it was late at night, and Su-Gyeom was already sleeping. So there was no way he knew what had happened after he left.
“’I won’t say it, it was a very sad life.”
“What, did you guys bully Su-Gyeom?”
“It was a situation where I couldn’t help but scold.”
When Tae-won questioned Lee-Gyeom at Su-Gyeom’s words, he replied plainly. He didn’t know about Tae-won, but Su-gyeom seemed to have done something wrong, seeing that Lee-Gyeom, who doesn’t talk, said such a thing.
“But don’t be mean to Su-Gyeom.”
Although Su-gyeom seemed to have done something to be scolded in the circumstances, Tae-won sided with Su-gyeom.Then, Su-gyeom’s sharp eyes became a little softer.
While the three were talking, Han-Sol and Yoo-Chan also appeared together to see if they had finished preparing.
Han-Sol wore a sweater with a geometric pattern, while his bottoms are rather light-colored jeans. He wore a gray towering padded jacket over it. To finish off, he wore a pink beanie on his head.Next to him, Yoo-Chan wore a boxy light gray knit and black cotton pants and an ivory coat on top of them. Due to the rough knit, the collarbone was slightly exposed, drawing attention.
“My children are enjoying dressing up again today.”
Song-Ha smiled satisfactorily as she looked around U-PITE. Then, she went to Han-Sol’s front and stressed that he should not take off his beanie no matter what, and that he should not forget that it is the most important point of fashion today.
U-PITE headed straight to the recording studio. The camera was set inside because it would be filmed from the scene of entering the recording room.Su-Gyeom tried to calm his trembling heart.
Until now, the details may have been different, but when viewed overall, it was like his previous life. That’s why he’s already experienced it.But this time it was different. The fact that Wish Flowers became a digital single album song was also changed to because of his will, and filming a music video was also the same.
A step toward a time that he had never experienced was always nerve wrecking.
Su-Gyeom swept his pounding chest with his right hand. At that time, Yoo-chan, who saw the figure from the side, grabbed Su-Gyeom’s left hand.
“Oh?”
“I’ll hold your hand.”
“Thank you.”
Su-Gyeom smiled brightly at Yoo-Chan’s consideration. While holding his hand, his trembling heart gradually calmed down.
“Well, then, get ready, and we’ll film the entrance scene first.”
The music video director clapped twice loudly, drawing attention. The members each nodded their heads and answered.Then the red light of the camera came on and the shooting began.
The recording was decided, they would go into the recording room one by one and record theri part, followed by recording together in the group part.There is also a method of recording separately and editing it, but it was better to include a recording scene together to film a music video.
First, the recording began with Han-Sol’s part.
While Han-Sol was recording, a camera was filming the waiting members. Su-Gyeom’s eyes brightened while thinking about what to do in the atmosphere to make rice cake that fans would like.
[rice cake would be for fanservice]
He brought the scarf he had left off and wrapped it around Yoo-chan’s neck. Yoo-chan’s eyes widend as if he were surprised, and soon fiddled with the scarf that Su-gyeom wrapped around him and smiled beautifully.
“Thank you.”
The inside of the recording studio was never cold, but Yoo-Chan was not even loosening the muffler that Su-Gyeom wrapped for him.
Su-Gyeom, who saw the scene, was also in a good mood and smiled at Yoo-Chan.
The individual recording went smoothly. Music video filming also continued naturally as the recording progressed.While waiting outside, Su-Gyeom purposely poked the members in the ribs and made jokes, or constantly made rice cakes such as touching the shoulders of the members next to him while bursting with laughter.
Thanks to Su-Gyeom’s warm-up, the music video shoot went smoothly.The only scene left was a group recording. The members entered the recording studio where additional microphones were installed for group recording.
