A Failed Idol’s Rise to Bottom

Chapter 53

Thats a good idea.

Right? Oh, but is the director not feeling well? You dont look so happy..

Contrary to the word good idea, Seo-Wooks expression was not very good. Su-Gyeom, who noticed his change, asked anxiously. Su-Gyeom felt he was unfamiliar because he was always wearing that unique smile.

Do I look like that?

YesIm worried.

I worried you, and its my fault.

Its not. Thats possible.

At Seo-Wooks words, Su-Gyeom shook his head. Then Seo-Wook laughed hard. It was only after seeing the smile that Su-Gyeom felt a little relieved.

Yes!

Su-Gyeom responded cheerfully with a more comfortable mind to Seo-Wooks words. Su-Gyeom, who fixed his eyes on the food, hurriedly used his chopsticks.

***

Goodbye!

When Su-Gyeom arrived at the accommodation, he nodded toward Seo-Wook. Seo-Wook waved his hand lightly to see Su-Gyeom off.

Su-Gyeom hummed and headed to the elevator, holding the extra tteok-galbi and braised short ribs in both hands.

Oh, Sol?

Su-Gyeom, happily walking, was surprised to see Han-Sol leaning next to the elevator. He wondered why Han-Sol was here, but he was glad to see him.

Why are you out there?

Ive been waiting for you.

How do you know when Ill come?

I have a radar limited to you. I came down because I thought you would arrive now.

Han-Sol jokingly replied to Su-Gyeoms worried remarks. Even after hearing that, Su-Gyeoms worries about Han-Sol did not go away. Because he was concerned about his health. He had been waiting for the cold underground parking lot.

Wasnt it cold?

Ive only been here for a minute .

Really?

Yes. Give it to me, and Ill hold it.

When Su-Gyeom asked, Han-Sol casually took the luggage in Su-Gyeoms hand. However, Han-Sols hand was as cold as ice. Surprised, Su-Gyeom looked at Han-Sol.

Why are you looking at me like that?

Your hands are so cold! Youve been waiting for a long time!

Yes, actually Ive been waiting for a long time.

Why did you do that? What if you catch a cold?

Han-Sol laughed as if it was no big deal, but Su-Gyeom was saddened. Then Han-Sol naturally clung to Su-Gyeom and folded his arms.

Im cold.

Oh, so why did you come out and wait?

It was because I wanted to see you as soon as possible.

Han-Sol leaned on Su-Gyeom with a grin. Su-Gyeom combed Hansols hair with his hand and climbed onto the elevator together.

Even your hair is cold. How long have you been out there?

I didnt stay that long. Its just that the underground parking lot is cold.

Its a problem because you are in that cold place.

What did you talk about with the director?

Han-Sol naturally changed his words due to Su-Gyeoms criticism. Su-Gyeom also noticed that he was trying to change the subject, but he pretended he didnt see. It was because he thought he was also to blame.

I didnt say much. I just ate.

Well, you must have talked about something. You didnt say anything and just ate?

Thats not true.

I know. What did you say?

Su-Gyeom felt that Han-Sols question was somewhat persistent. Su-Gyeom, wondering why he was so stubborn with his gentle and soft personality, suddenly thought about it and looked at Han-Sol.

Han-Sol seemed jealous because he thought Su-Gyeom was the only one favored by the director.

When he thought about it that far, Su-Gyeom thought that his behavior was important.

That Sol.

Han-Sols expression darkened somewhat as Su-Gyeom carefully spoke. Su-Gyeom, who saw the reaction, thought Han-Sol was offended and swallowed dry saliva. He was worried about how to resolve this misunderstanding.

Yes, tell me.

You may misunderstand. Its not like that.

After much consideration, Su-Gyeom decided to say it directly. It was because he thought it would be ineffective to talk in circles to resolve Han-Sols misunderstanding.

Huh?

His guess was correct.

I know youre in a situation where you might be jealous. Even in a different perspective, it can make you feel bad. But its not really like that. Still, I will be more careful in the future to avoid misunderstanding.

Hyung, how did you know?

I know everything. How can I not know how you feel.

Han-Sol seemed to be shocked by Su-Gyeoms words. He couldnt talk for a while, and his lips were trembling. When he saw his reaction, Su-Gyeom felt even more sorry. It was because he thought he would be embarrassed if he knew had been jealous and had a hard time.

Im so sorry, Sol.

since when? Since when did you know?

What?

Since when did you know how I felt? Since when?.

Han-Sol sighed and was at a loss.

Su-Gyeom wondered why Han-Sol was so embarrassed, but when he changed his position and thought about it, he would be very embarrassed if others noticed his jealousy.

I just found out. Im sorry I didnt notice earlier.

.

Han-Sol closed his mouth at Su-Gyeoms answer. He didnt know what to say. Su-Gyeom was also worried about what to say to him.

There was a moment of silence between the two. Meanwhile, the elevator arrived on the 15th floor, where the accommodation was.

Lets get off.

Su-Gyeom said carefully while looking at the elevator door that opened. But Han-Sol was still. Su-Gyeom was embarrassed when he saw his reaction. He wonders if his words were that shocking, and on the other hand, he was worried about Han-Sol.

Sol, are you alright?

Hyung, then Whats your answer?

Huh? What answer?

Su-Gyeom tilted his head to an unexpected question. He didnt know hed say this. In the first place he was unaware what Han-Sol is asking.

Han-Sol continued with an urgent look, while Su-Gyeom blink his big eyes because he didnt understand what question he was talking about.

You said you know my feelings, then you should give me what you think.

What I think?

Even after hearing Han-Sols explanation, Su-Gyeom didnt know what to say and asked back. He quickly tried to think, but couldnt understand what he has to say.

Can I ride?

Someone carefully asked. A woman cant get on because of them.

Sure, sure. You can get on. Sorry!

Its okay.

Sorry.

Su-Gyeom grabbed Han-Sols arm to leave so she could get on. It was only after the elevator closed that Su-Gyeoms flustered face returned to normal.

While muttering to himself, Su-Gyeom cant still understand what Han-Sol is talking about. His head begins to spin noticing Han-Sol still staring at him.

Im not sure?

You dont know?

Yes. Sorry, no matter how I think about it, I dont know.

After thinking about it, Su-Gyeom decided to answer honestly. No matter how much he think about it. He couldnt come up with an answer. He thought it would be more appropriate to answer honestly than to lie.

However it seemed like Han-Sol didnt want such answer from him. He looked disappointed and sad.

Sol?

Yes?

I just keep thinking, but I dont know.

Su-Gyeom was restless and apologized again. Han-Sol had a bittersweet expression on his face, but smiled slightly.

Im just glad you didnt refuse right away.

Refuse?

Didnt you not reject it?

Thats true but

Then thats it.

It was a strange word. What is there to refuse? Su-Gyeom tilted his head, but there was nothing to say, so he didnt add anything else.

Lets go in.

Han-Sol smiled bitterly and took the lead. His back looked particularly precarious.

Su-Gyeom couldnt bear to chase Han-Sols back and just looked at him for a while.
