Save a Failed Idol’s Life - Chapter 110:
“Wow, the view is amazing from the window. And it’s not cold at all, thanks to the insulation.”
Seon-woo, who had taken the best spot, smiled brightly and patted his bed.
He was the only one who seemed happy, unlike me and Kyunghwa, who had escaped the two-person sleeping arrangement, and Yi-jun and Seong-won, who had come here to have fun, but looked sour.
Anyone would think they had been fined or something.
“Ah… of all the times…”
“Who would want to sleep with you?”
“Don’t you like me?”
Seong-won and Yi-jun, who had to share a king-sized bed according to the strict rules, growled at each other as if they were about to fight.
The camera was rolling right now, was that okay?
I glanced around, but everyone knew that they didn’t get along since their debut.
[- But aren’t Seong-won and Yi-jun always a bit awkward? Seong-won seems like the type who doesn’t show much emotion to anyone. And the person he likes seems a bit cold to him.]
[ㄴ Kang is always like that. It came up a few times before, but Junie said they never officially fought, they just have very different personalitiesㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ And they’re both the same age, so they clash a lot.]
[ㄴ Don’t the other members try to stop them?]
[ㄴ They tried, but they’re like oil and water, so they just let them sort it out themselvesst.]
[ㄴ Lol, they just don’t get along, but it’s not like they hate working together. They did a joint act when they went on Star Discovery, remember?]
The fans seemed to know everything like this.
“Both of you, be quiet. It’s time for What’s in My Career, and the local broadcast is too loud, it’s drowning out the sound.”
Kyunghwa grabbed their ears and pulled them hard, as if to make them stop fighting. Yi-jun whined in pain.
“I don’t like it either, but he’s making a fuss.”
Kyunghwa sighed lightly at Yi-jun’s tantrum. Then he turned his head and suggested.
“Then I’ll switch places with Seong-won. How about that?”
“Huh?”
Yi-jun seemed to think it was okay, and Seong-won quickly accepted the offer.
“I agree. I was seriously considering sleeping on the sofa.”
“Hey, I’d rather sleep on the floor than share a bed with you.”
As they seemed to start another round of arguments, Kyunghwa pulled their ears again.
“Ouch.”
“If you fight one more time, I’ll throw you in the pool. Seong-won, you go over there.”
Seong-won nodded his head without complaining about his ear being pinched, and headed straight to the bed Kyunghwa had chosen.
“Ooh, this is it, bro.”
I lay down diagonally on the king-sized bed across from him and clapped my hands.
“What are you doing, just watching?”
Kyunghwa glared at me with a sharp retort. I grinned and pulled out a Cheon Soo Hotel VIP card from my pocket.
“What’s that?”
It was a special card that could be used without any limit at Cheon Soo Group’s affiliates.
I didn’t expect to get something like this either. It was a gift from Chairman Cheon, who ordered me to use it comfortably while staying at the hotel.
‘Maybe he was proud of his son, who finally showed some results after failing so much?’
He wouldn’t have given us such a treat if it wasn’t for this.
“I’m going to the lounge later. And the spa too.”
I was a bit worried that he was spending too much for a kid, but the theme of today was flex vacation sponsored by Cheon Ise.
To be exact… It was a collaboration that Cheon Ise had secured. The title would be ‘Cheon Ise Pays for Everything!’
‘Anyway, everyone knows I’m the son of Cheon Soo Group.’
What the hell was Cheon Ise doing… He was a nobody, but he flaunted his parents’ money everywhere.
I couldn’t help but complain about Cheon Ise, but it turned out that he was exposed by his celebrity profile.
[Search result> Entrepreneur Cheon Young-tae]
[Wife: An Jung-hee Daughter: Cheon Ji-su Eldest son: Cheon O-su Second son: Cheon Ise (Climax)]
Because of his father’s entrepreneur profile, he was famous for being a chaebol son since his debut.
His debut single was also the best-selling one because of the massive promotion by Cheon Soo Group, but… people were also curious about who the chaebol idol was and listened to his song at least once.
“Alright, everyone, if you’ve settled in, let’s reveal your belongings in this order: Ise, Kyunghwa, Yi-jun, Seong-won, Seon-woo.”
“Ah, yes.”
I didn’t bring anything but clothes. A simple swimsuit and pajamas, a spare outfit for emergencies, a phone charger and a laptop were all I had.
“How boring.”
Yi-jun yawned as if he was not amused.
“It’s better than having something weird come out when you’re bored and have nothing to do.”
We were already warned that we would do something like What’s In My Bag before we came here, so it was inevitable.
“I thought you would always carry a knife with you wherever you go, hyung.”
“Why would I?”
Seon-woo also joined in the nonsense, making me ask with a wrong expression.
“Well… when you go out… you might find something you can cook right away?”
Did we come to the wilderness? I narrowed my eyes in disbelief.
“At the hotel?”
“Hey, you never know what might happen at the hotel.”
“What kind of image do you have of me?”
I had always thought so, but they were weird in many ways. If I was desperate to push myself as a cooking idol, well… I could do it if the agency told me to.
But! I wasn’t told to act out a concept, but carrying a knife around was not a chef on a business trip, but a lunatic. I wouldn’t be surprised if I was handed over to the police station at any time.
“Bear Grylls?”
“A good hyung who always cooks for us?”
I could already see the small-eyed animation character and the survival expert going into the edited screen with 80% opacity.
“I’m taking a break today. I’m going to buy everything.”
They rented out the lounge for me at a slightly different time from the regular customers, so I had no reason to refuse.
I was very disappointed that I failed to book the fine dining restaurant Sky Aqua, but I was satisfied with this.
“Come on, you open your belongings too.”
I ignored the boring comment and pointed at Kyunghwa’s bag.
“Mine is…”
Kyunghwa opened his bag hesitantly. Why was he so embarrassed? I was suspicious for a moment.
Things that were hard to find in a man’s bag poured out.
“This is a wet tissue, this is a disinfectant tissue, and I carry both gel and spray types of hand sanitizer. This is a small kit that I carry around in case I get hurt or something.”
When Kyunghwa opened the small pouch, it was packed with disposable ointment, wrapped cotton swabs, spray disinfectant, band-aids, waterproof tape, and more.
“It’s really reassuring to have one of these when traveling. And this is an extra handkerchief, and a nail clipper, and also, these tiny buttons are really handy when a button falls off.”
Inside the carrier, there was nothing missing, from scissors with rounded ends to bottle openers and wine openers. Even a passport and a copy of the passport. Anyone would think he was immigrating or something.
“Are you Doraemon?”
“Something like that.”
Kyunghwa answered confidently without being embarrassed at all.
“Oh… do you have an extra charger too?”
Then Kyunghwa showed him two chargers from inside the carrier as if it was obvious.
“Of course. These days, earphones are all wireless, so they’re essential.”
“Wow, I forgot to bring mine today. Can I borrow it?”
That shameless guy. He said that without changing his face. As soon as he said that, Kyunghwa took out Yi-jun’s charger from the opposite pocket.
“I thought you might, so I brought it for you.”
“Why is this coming out of your bag?”
“Because you left it behind.”
It was because the guys around him were too noticeable, but Kyunghwa was also an extraordinary guy.
After a brief commotion, it was Yi-jun’s turn.
“Ah… I only brought my laptop.”
And that was the truth without any exaggeration.
Laptop, laptop charger – he managed to bring that, and Seongwon gave him a hard time, which almost started a fight. – pajamas, underwear.
That was all Yi-jun brought.
“What about your swimsuit?”
Then Yi-jun tried to undo the buckle of his pants he was wearing.
“Are you crazy? What are you doing?”
“Ah, I was going to show you by wearing it under my pants.”
“Don’t do it! Don’t do it!”
Yi-jun didn’t end up taking off his pants and broadcasting it, thanks to me and Kyunghwa rushing to stop him.
“Anyway, that’s it for me.”
“What do you rely on to be so careless?”
“Anyway, convenience stores sell everything simple. If I’m in a hurry, I can solve everything at the convenience store.”
It was the attitude of a guy who had never lacked anything since he was young.
“And I can borrow from Kyunghwa hyung.”
I shouted as if I had found the culprit.
“You. You raised him like this.”
Kyunghwa immediately turned pale.
“Who raised him? I never raised anything disgusting like that.”
“Ah, my treatment is like this. I’m really crying.”
Seongwon lowered his head in front of his bed as if he was bored, and Seon-woo sat in his seat and laughed brightly.
“Okay, okay, let’s move on to reveal Seongwon’s belongings.”
As per PD’s instructions, we all gathered around Seong-won’s bed. Seong-won backed away nervously, holding his bag.
“What’s wrong, why are you running away?”
Yi-jun complained as if it was unfair.
“Who said I’m running away? Anyone would be scared if you stare at them like that.”
Seong-won shivered and carefully placed his bag on the bed. He opened it slowly.
“Wow…”
He had packed extra clothes, pajamas, swimsuits, throat lozenges, mint candies, tea bags, a tumbler, a neck warmer, a mask, a mist, a heated eye mask, a sleeping eye mask, sleeping socks, and personal toiletries.
“You really act like your body is the most precious thing in the world.”
Yi-jun hit the nail on the head.
“So what? It’s weird that you only care about your body.”
“Can I have some mint candies too?”
Kyungwha quickly reached out his hand. Seong-won sighed and gave him two pieces.
“Can I have some too?”
Seon-woo also extended his hand. Seong-won glanced at me.
“Mint is fine.”
“Okay.”
Seong-won nodded and gave Seon-woo two pieces as well.
“Ah, then me too.”
Yi-jun casually pushed his hand forward. Snap, Seong-won closed the zipper and stuffed the bag inside.
“You can buy your own.”
He was so stingy with food. He was such a kid.
“Now, it’s Seon-woo’s turn, right?”
“Ah, ah…!”
Seon-woo, who had been hiding his suitcase under the blanket and fiddling with something, suddenly gasped.
He looked like he had done something bad that he didn’t want anyone to find out.
“What? Do you have something to hide?”
I asked without much meaning. Was I right on the mark? Seon-woo looked panicked and didn’t know what to do.
“Uh, no? I don’t have anything to hide, okay?”
