Prologue

"Guys...I think there's been a slight misunderstanding. Why won't you listen to me?"

Sugyeom said with an awkward smile to the four men standing in front of him.

Each of the four's eyes shining brightly seemed to have their own thoughts. It was like a surging tsunami, and as such, Sugyeom couldn't help but to slowly back away.

"What misunderstanding?"

"Right. What you have done so far, can it be called a misunderstanding?"

"You said you wanted to sleep together."

"Hyung said you wanted my lips."

Sugyeom panicked as his eyes shook when the four pressed at the same time. Meanwhile, they had gradually narrowed their distance from him.

"S-stay away! Stay away! Anyway, it's a misunderstanding. I just wanted our group to do well...You crazy guys, stop, stop! Stop!"

The four creeping closer like there were no brakes made Sugyeom back away in fright. However, there was a limit to how far he could go. Before long, his legs tripped over a bed and he fell on his back.

"It's really a misunderstanding. Really! I just wanted to save U-PITE! I only accepted my role!"

"So accept this too."

One of the men gestured towards his chest with his chin. Startled, the speechless Sugyeom on the bed kicked back while on his butt to retreat.

"Hyung said you liked me. Being young I have a lot of energy."

"I-I just said that ambiguously for the broadcast!"

Flustered by another man's remarks, Sugyeom shook his hands and cried out. What he had said wasn't meant to be taken as such. How else was he supposed to build his image on air? Idols needed to make ends meet too!

"What about wanting to sleep with me?"

Sugyeom shook his head at the third man's interrogation.

"Ah, I literally meant sleep! Sleep! Just sleeping at night!"

Since it was for a broadcast, the nuance was naturally a little mysterious. Sugyeom had left some room for misunderstanding to please the fans. However, he never meant it to mean anything else. It was simply a remark to sleep together with no other intentions.

"Hyung said you wanted my lips. You wanted to swipe it."

The last man interrogated.

"I just said that for the interview!"

Sugyeom had answered as such in an interview when he was asked if there was a place on another member's body that he liked.

This, too, he had deliberately left some room for interpretation. Nevertheless, he was naturally just being playful! It was a roundabout way of saying his lips were pretty.

However, despite Sugyeom's constant protest, the four didn't back down at all. Rather, they had narrowed the distance further.

"You crazy guys, go away! Go away! Stop coming closer!"+

Song Sugyeom's second chance at life.

As he tried to prevent himself from becoming a failed idol, it seemed another problem had arisen.
