The Second Chance of A Suicidal Idol

Watch Party (3)

If Joon-woo hadn't long finished digesting the food he had eaten earlier, he would've thrown it up. The editors, the producers, included Joon-woo being hit. All the yelling that happened before it and after. They included Team One's downfall without missing a beat of drama.

"What do you mean, Yong-ah? We did all we he could, just look at the rest of us!"

Rank 27 yelled just as angry as Joon-woo had remembered him, maybe even more.

"Yes– we practiced, but alone. We didn't do enough team practices..."

Edited upon leader Mi Yong's words was the lettering, 'leader taking accountability...'

"That's still saying we didn't do enough..."

At Rank 27's reply they included clips of the other contestants noticing the scene.

Then, they zoomed in on Joon-woo from a week or so ago, who had bystanded the fighting while slightly glued to Mi Yong's side. The editors had made it seem like they were discussing, Mi Yong and Joon-woo.

They zoomed in on Joon-woo trying to slip away from the scene, at least away from the center. And they ran through a montage of worried and shocked reactions whenever Rank 27 snatched Joon-woo by his arm, roughly.

Joon-woo flinched at the reply of the assault. He still remembered how it stung, how his arm was slightly bruised after. Really, why did he bruise so easily?

"And where do you think you're going? You're the one that prompted this... You put those thoughts of not doing enough in Mi Yong's mind, he would never discredit us if it weren't for you–"

"Hey, hey– isn't this too much?" Mi Yong spook up, face flushed as he had just downed a second can of beer.

Jung Hyun-Ok seemed to be a bit uncomfortable with the heavy inclusion of the drama. As did Reggie, Ryeo Hyun, Bo Jaesang, and especially Reggie's mother.

"Are you crazy?"

On screen, Mi Yong shoved Rank 27 off of Joon-woo with a grimace. 'Hyung defending his Dongsaeng...' was played over the screen. Really, were they using this situation to make them seem closer?

"When you see our name at the bottom, start packing your bags..."

At on-screen Mi Yong's words, exclamation points were placed around Rank 27's fist as it came flying in Mi Yong's direction. More contestant reactions followed. Specifically, Reggie and Jung Hyun-Ok, who on screen, watched the scene with wide panic in their eyes.

Hell– and as on-screen Joon-woo jumped in front of Mi Yong to take the punch, they replayed Joon-woo falling into Mi Yong's arms three f*cking times. Three f*cking times, and Joon-woo sat. He sat and watched as he flinched and collapsed into Mi Yong's arms.

His cheeks got a bit red.

"Ahh– they really had to include all of that?" Joon-woo quietly muttered, rubbing at his red cheeks.

"Really, are they crazy?" Ryeo Hyun spoke, for the first time in a while.

Reggie rubbed at Joon-woo's shoulder, as if to comfort. Joon-woo looked up at Reggie and sent him a look before knocking his hand off.

Reggie's mother, however, cried from where she was sitting, "Aish, how cruel of that person to hit you..." Tears ran from her eyes. "Really, are you okay? Does it still hurt?"

Joon-woo waved his hands, "No– I'm okay, it's okay!" He spoke frantically. He hadn't meant to make her cry. Reggie, after a few moments, stood and rubbed his mom on the back as she dried her tears.
