Chapter 86

***

With the last guest appearance in an entertainment program, the activities of <Wish Petals> have ended.ReAd lat𝙚st chapters at n0v(𝒆)lbin.co/m Only

Of course, they couldnt take a long break. In the first place, Wish Petals was included in the second mini-album, but before the second mini-album, it was a digital single album.

After a two-week break, they were scheduled to make a comeback with the title song. Everyone was busy preparing for the comeback.

Fortunately, the timing of U-PITEs comeback and the pre-filmed entertainment program overlapped. The promotional effect would have been better because they would simultaneously appear on a public entertainment show as their comeback.

Am I bleaching my hair again?

At the hair salon, Su-Gyeom asked with a sullen look. Song-Hwa laughed as if she was going to die of cuteness.

You dont have to bleach your hair now, fairy.

Eh? Really? Ji-Yeon, do I not have to bleach my hair? Isnt Song-Hwa playing around?

Su-Gyeoms eyes widened at Song-Hwas words. He looked at Ji-Yeon, who is in charge of hair and asked with anticipation. Ji-Yeon then smiled happily.

Yeah. When I told the director that Su-Gyeom didnt want to bleach his hair, he told me you can promote with black hair.

Wow, awesome!

As Ji-Yeon said, there was no need for thank you. Ji-Yeon escaped the delicate and difficult situation of bleaching and dyeing hair, and Su-Gyeom was free from the cumbersome process.

This time, Im going to cover it black.

Yes!

Su-Gyeom replied with anticipation.

Before when he promoted their second mini album, Su-Gyeom also had black hair. The problem is he didnt manage to do his idol activities because of his military disease. The fandom was reduced to half, and then U-PITE disbanded after serious issues popped out.

Therefore, Su-Gyeom also did not know the future from now on. Since the starting point of U-PITE, Su-Gyeoms military disease, has disappeared, the results will be different from before.

It took longer than usual to dye his hair because it was in the stage of covering his bleached hair black. When hair styling was finally over, his hips and buttocks felt sore.

Oh.

Su-Gyeom burst into admiration when he saw himself in the mirror. It is much darker than the original hair color because it is black and made of dyeing rather than natural black hair. He saw bright hair colors due to frequent bleaching and dyeing, but the darkened hair tone made him feel strange.

Clap, clap, clap.

Wow are you crazy, fairy? Fairy? No, angel? What the hell is it?

He thought he could hear a sudden clap somewhere, but Song-Hwas silly comments began. Su-Gyeom blushed at the silly comments that he couldnt get used to. Song Hwas silly comments continued.Oh, because I changed your hair to black, you look whiter because it contrasted with your white skin. Its crazy. Its Su-Gyeoms power!

The cool winter tone?

Its a cool winter tone. I knew it, but looking at it like this, hes like Snow White.

Well, thats enough.

Su-Gyeom carefully got up from his seat, embarrassed, and his eyes met with Yoo-Chan, who had already finished styling. Yoo-Chan dyed his hair blue-black under the light.

It was strange and unfamiliar to see the blue color coming from Yoo-Chans hair, which was always black, so Su-Gyeom approached Yoo-Chan closely.

Wow, it suits you. How come you look good with this hair color? Is it because you are pretty?

I dont think thats what Hyung, whos always had pink hair, should say.

Aha, yes.

Su-Gyeom gently held his head back at Yoo-Chans words. Then Yoo-Chan laughed, covering his mouth with his hand thinking Su-Gyeom was cute. Next, Han-Sol had brown hair that was a little brighter than before, Lee-Gyeom was no different from before, and Tae-Won, who added scratches to the side of his head, approached Su-Gyeom.

Su-Gyeom felt scared for no reason, so he stepped back without realizing it. Song-Hwa, behind me, clapped again and shouted.

Song Su-Gyeoms unique beauty is amazing! Lets just all be fascinated!

Oh This isnt it?

Somehow, Song-Hwas words seemed to explain the reason for their crazy eyes, and Su-Gyeom swallowed his dry saliva.

As soon as she finished styling, U-PITE took a photo for the albums cover. These days, an album is no different from a photo book, so they work hard to take pictures. Thanks to this, the shooting took quite a long time.

Su-Gyeom couldnt overcome his tired body and was lying in the van after the filming. Then Tae-won, sitting next to him, leaned Su-Gyeoms small head on his shoulder.

Thank you.

Although he was surprised by Tae-Wons sudden behavior, Su-Gyeom, leaning on him for a long time, quickly laughed.

Guys, are you tired?

Why?

Han-Sol asked at Min-Seungs words. Then Min-Seung glanced at Hansol from the rearview mirror and looked forward again. The director wants to see your new hair. Hes asking me to come over to buy him a meal. What do you think?

Oh.

Hey, why do you make it so obvious that you dont like him? Hes the director. Lets get a grip, huh?

yes.

When Min-Seung criticized Han-Sols bitter answer, Han-Sol reluctantly replied. Then Min-Seung smiled satisfactorily and asked again.

Then I tell you Ill go?

Yes!

What is this? Why arent you answering except for Su-Gyeom?

Confused Su-Gyeom looked at the members faces with surprised eyes. Probably keeping the director in check, but the opponent was the agencys CEO. It is an opponent who absolutely needs a social life.

Su-Gyeom smiled awkwardly and opened his mouth to settle the situation quickly.

Its because everyones tired. Do you think they didnt answer because they didnt want to? Its just a silent affirmation, thats all.

Well, I suppose so. What can I do if you hate it.

Yes, yes.

Su-Gyeom responded to Min-Seungs words to the point of exaggeration. Min-Seung tilted his head slightly at Su-Gyeoms behavior but didnt say much.

Before long, the van carrying U-PITE stopped before a familiar Japanese restaurant. It was where Seo-Wook bought them a meal a few times.

Min-Seung headed to another room reserved for the staff, and U-PITE went to Seo-Wooks room.

As they entered, the door was opened by the staff. Seo-Wook was already sitting inside.

Uh

Hello, director!

Su-Gyeom bowed to Seo-Wook, who opened his eyes wide as if surprised. Seo-Wook seemed uncharacteristically flustered and didnt even consider receiving Su-Gyeoms greeting.

Su-Gyeom is worried that something is wrong with him, but he sits down immediately. As he tried to do so, Lee-Gyeom pulled his arms, and he managed to sit beside him. While Su-Gyeom, surprised by his sudden behavior, blinked his big eyes, Lee-Gyeom looked satisfied.

One or two members who filled the seats first, centering on Su-Gyeom, finally sat in the empty seats. Even then, Seo-Wook said nothing unlike usual.

Su-Gyeom felt it was strange, tilted his head and opened his mouth carefully.

Director, whats wrong?

What?

Su-Gyeom looked at Seo-Wook, with his head even more confused. Seo-Wook murmured, Its a big deal, with a serious look.

Su-Gyeom was worried because he reacted like that. The director is always relaxed under any circumstances.

Whats the big deal? Do you happen to have any problems?

Its a problem, yes. Its a problem.

Seo-Wook murmured to himself when asked by Su-Gyeom. At this point, Su-Gyeom began to worry sincerely. He was scared of what the hell Seo-Wook was worried about.

Su-Gyeom.

What?

Lets just stop promoting.

What?

Su-Gyeom said his words were no different from a bolt from the blue, but Seo-Wook only looked serious.

Su-Gyeom, you are too pretty. The director wants to hide you.
