Why the Kind Idol Member is Guilty 41

‘Yeomin & Inhan Unit with Killer Face Chemistry ‘To The Top’ Concept Photo Picture (127)’

Yuho, who had stopped visiting the community for a while, couldn’t help himself as his hand moved on its own and clicked on the post.

Wow. Now they’re not even trying to hide it. Yuho couldn’t help but be shocked at the photos that clearly showed their intentions.

In the photos, Inhan and Yeomin were going crazy, pressing their bodies and faces together as if something terrible would happen if they didn’t touch each other. Moreover, the fact that the background was a bathtub and on top of a bed seemed way too much.

Especially the photo of the two lying on the bed facing each other was so admirable that even Yuho, the ultimate NanHyo shipper, had no choice but to acknowledge it. Anyone could see this was love. As expected of acting-idols, the looks they exchanged overflowed with narrative.

I thought he’d hate this kind of thing, but he’s like a fish in water. Yuho felt an unwarranted sense of betrayal toward Inhan and wanted to leave a hate comment directed at the agency.

Of course, from the fans’ perspective, it was a scene to welcome with both hands raised.

[SsangS (agency) finally came to their senses]

[Seriously a combination that works for face chemistry, dance chemistry, vocal chemistry, everything]

└ [What’s with the rhyme, is this Show Me]

[Seriously, my patience paid off ㅜㅜ I’m crying ㅜㅜㅜ]

[I think I just opened my eyes and became Mongolian ㅜㅜㅜ]

[SsangS finally decided to only push combinations that work]

└ [Evil dog aggro get lost]

[Crazy ㅜㅜㅜㅜㅜㅜㅜㅜㅜㅜㅜㅜㅜㅜㅜㅜ]

Looking at the comment section exploding with reactions beyond being moved, Yuho had no choice but to admit it.

As expected. NanYeom is the truth. Now even Yuho decided to accept that fact. Originally, it’s normal to follow the principle of majority rule. He just felt bad for the newly born NanHyo shippers who had been rapidly increasing lately.

NanHyo stock has been delisted, everyone. No new crumbs are scheduled to come out, so move to blue-chip stocks before it falls further. He felt like he wanted to step forward and push them along.

“Yuho, what are you doing?”

Startled by the sudden knocking sound, Yuho hurriedly closed the internet window. The one who opened the door and came in was manager Suhyung.

“Just. I was on the computer.”

“Ah. Really?”

At Yuho’s answer, Suhyung’s face brightened with a smile. I thought he’d nag me first, telling me not to look for hate comments or anything. Yuho was flustered by the unexpected reaction.

“Are you preparing well for next week’s audition?”

“Yes. I’ve memorized all the lines.”

“Good. Practice well. I’m going to take Yeomin to his schedule, so if you’re going out anywhere, contact me.”

“Yes.”

“Especially if Raulie tries to sneak out, make sure to let me know.”

“Ah, yes.”

“And you have a variety show booked for next Thursday, so don’t schedule anything around then.”

“What?”

At Suhyung’s sudden notification, Yuho felt more bewildered than pleased.

Due to his shy personality, Yuho had always been designated a low priority for variety show casting, so in the past 5 years, the variety shows he appeared on alone could be counted on one hand.

“Just me alone?”

“With Yeomin and Inhan too.”

“Ah.”

Of course it would be like that. It wasn’t surprising since it wasn’t the first or second time Yuho had appeared on variety shows as an add-on, squeezed in with popular members. A solo guest appearance from the start. Yuho thought it was out of the question.

“Can’t someone else go? I’m no-fun so I won’t even get screen time.”

“No. You can’t.”

At Suhyung’s unusually firm reaction, Yuho was at a loss for words. Suhyung didn’t stop there and told Yuho something even more unbelievable.

“To be precise, it’s a variety show where Yeomin and Inhan are regulars, and you’re going as a guest there. Besides you, there will be one more male guest and one female guest.”

“Suddenly? Why me?”

Even knowing it was a stupid question, Yuho couldn’t contain his curiosity. A variety show at this timing. There was only one reason he could think of.

“Did Inhan ask for this by any chance?”

“No. The writer requested it directly.”

“Then did Yeomin…”

“Yuho, you haven’t been checking your articles lately.”

It was Suhyung who until recently had nagged him until his ears were calloused, telling him not to look for articles. Yuho couldn’t understand Suhyung’s sudden change of stance.

Yuho said to Suhyung with confusion.

“…I just go to the fan cafe. To only see good things.”

“The Yeongryong web drama you appeared in is causing a stir lately.”

“Why is that? That didn’t do well.”

“They say your face is funny.”

‘Shine Beautifully,’ Yuho’s first web drama work that was released on K Platform 2 years ago, was a high-teen romance where Yuho appeared as a high school sophomore.

However, Yuho had an intuition the moment he did the first script reading that the work would fail to gain buzz and become a flop.

A cast made up only of idols with no acting experience or recognition, a script filled with cringeworthy dialogue lacking plausibility, and an incompetent director with hastily arranged filming locations.

It was a legendary disaster that was embarrassing to even call a web drama, making even Yuho’s individual fans give up watching midway.

What reason could there be for that web drama, which had produced dismal results with an official account average of 2,000 views and less than 100 likes, to be causing a stir now?

Without Yuho needing to ponder, Suhyung immediately explained the reason.

“A few weeks ago, a girl from a rookie group said her bias was Seon Yuho and even mentioned your web drama. She said the content was cringeworthy but your face was funny. It’s been a topic since then. The web drama views also went up more than tenfold.”

“I didn’t know.”

“It was a huge deal, how can you just find out now? Look it up at least now.”

Raulie – [Hyo hyung, did you see this article?]

Yuho – [No, I’m seeing it for the first time now]

Raulie – [As expected, picked by teens] [How does it feel to receive love from all the nieces and nephews?]

Yuho – [I’m impressed by the children’s eye for talent, and I’m overwhelmed by the thought that the future of Korea is bright]

Raulie – [ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ When did you become so shameless]

Yuho – [I am a 5-year pro-idol after all]

Raulie – [Let’s rise to the top like this]

Yuho – [ㄱㄱ Let’s go]

He had heard about it roughly from Raulie 3 days ago, but he hadn’t expected the aftermath to be this big. Though it was minor, Yuho was newly surprised that a rise to fame could start like this.

But the problem was elsewhere.

“Do I have to go on the kids’ variety show?”

“You have to go wherever you can. What are you talking about?”

At Suhyung’s question, Yuho was at a loss for words. And he answered in a dying voice.

“Okay.”

“Right. Then prepare well.”

Suhyung found Yuho’s reaction different from expectations puzzling, but the next schedule was urgent, so he hurriedly wrapped up the conversation and left the room.

Left alone, Yuho let out a sigh with complicated feelings.

* * *

Yeomin and Yuho were in the middle of dance practice at the company practice room.

“Inhan. You’re here?”

Inhan appeared at the practice room later than expected, and Yeomin greeted him first.

“Yeah. Sorry I’m late.”

Inhan answered in a calm tone. Inhan’s face that Yuho was seeing for the first time in nearly a month was neat and unchanged from before.

“It’s been a while, Yuho hyung.”

“Right. Have you been well?”

“Yes. I’ve been so busy I’ve been out of it.”

Inhan produced a nonchalant smiling face. Only Yuho felt awkward for no reason and lowered his gaze.

“Inhan. You memorized all the choreography, right?”

“Yeah. I just stand on the left, right?”

“Yeah. If we just roughly match it, we’ll be done quickly.”

The conversation between Yeomin and Inhan continued, and Yuho stood in the center position on his own. The three of them decided to cover dance to a song by Cloud, a male solo singer who was a co-guest, together before the variety show appearance.

Yuho stood in the center with Inhan and Yeomin on the sides. Since everyone had already learned the choreography separately, they just needed to briefly check positioning and action timing.

“Inhan’s movements are too big. Make them smaller. And in the back part, you need to stay down longer before coming up. You’re already taller, so when you come up first, you really stand out.”

“Yes. I’ll be careful.”

Inhan agreed with the dance director’s words, and practice started again. Thanks to being 5th-year idols and mainly dance members, practice ended in 30 minutes.

“Going straight home?”

Yeomin asked Inhan, who was sitting in a corner cooling off from the heat. Inhan answered immediately.

“Yeah. I’m going to go straight to sleep.”

“Let’s go to the dorm together. Let’s have a beer or something.”

“Hyung, you come to my house. The dorm is too chaotic.”

“This kid. Acting all expensive.”

At Yeomin’s words, Inhan just laughed. Yuho was gulping down a drink to quench his thirst from a slightly distant spot.

“Should we go now then?”

At Suhyung’s words, all three people got up from their seats at once.

Suhyung headed to Inhan’s house first. As they entered the apartment complex located 10 minutes by car from the company, Inhan, who had been sitting in the seat right behind the driver’s seat, prepared to get out.

“Go.”

“Yeah.”

Inhan answered Yeomin’s farewell casually and also greeted Yuho.

“Then see you on filming day, hyung.”

“Yeah.”

Yuho accepted the greeting calmly. But he couldn’t take his eyes off Inhan until he got out and went inside the entrance. Inhan never looked back once.

“Yuho hyung. Should we order chicken? Or rose tteokbokki?”

Yeomin suddenly spoke to Yuho. Thanks to that, Yuho’s gaze, which had been directed outside the window, moved to Yeomin. Yeomin asked Yuho once more.

“Hm? Let’s order something delicious.”

“Can’t we just order both?”

Yuho asked Yeomin with a mischievous smile. Yeomin spoke to Yuho with a satisfied smile.

“Okay. Let’s eat both. Our hyung can eat everything he wants. I’ll buy it all for you.”

“No. I’ll buy it.”

“Originally the person who suggests first is supposed to buy it, though?”

“Still, I’m the hyung?”

“I’m the senior though?”

“Huh.”

“I won. Right?”

That’s how days without each other continued to be okay. Thinking that such days would continue in the future, Yuho felt strange. Even though this was what he had wished for so much.

5th-year idol Yuho, an unpopular member of 'Seven Spot', has been in unrequited love with his teammate Inhan for 5 years. You might wonder how someone can maintain unrequited love for 5 years, but that's how intense Jung Inhan's kindness was.

The agency CEO acknowledged the group's failure and suggested disbanding, and Yuho promptly accepted the offer... *** Yuho, an unpopular member of a 5-year-old C-list idol group surviving on two actor-idols who are public favorites. "I want to quit." Finally making his decision at the disbandment discussion meeting called with 2 years left on their contract. "I'll follow whatever decision the company makes, but for now, I just want to stop." *** "Why do you want to quit?" Inhan dragged Yuho to an empty practice room. Kneeling on one knee in front of Yuho's feet, Inhan bowed his head deeply and suppressed his anger. Yuho wasn't particularly pleased with Inhan's kindness that manifested even in moments like this. "Why do you want to quit, hyung? Tell me everything. Hmm? Why do you want to quit?" "I'm tired of living as your backdrop." Yuho said, looking straight into Inhan's eyes. "...That's a lie." "It's not a lie. I'm tired of being your pedestal. So now, please let me go." Inhan looked shocked at Yuho's unwavering attitude. Taking advantage of that opening, Yuho slowly removed Inhan's hand. And once again, he firmly said: "Now please step aside and let me see the light too. Let me live a little." It was the moment he put a period on the 5 years of one-sided love that had been so unbearable.
