The Second Chance of A Suicidal Idol

Joon-woo & Reggie (3)

Jong Seok-cheon held up various make-up products to the shine of his clean bald head.

"UIG has come out with another perfect sunstick, to save yourself from burning...!" Seok-cheon prompted with a smile. He looked to be in his early forties, and wore an older-fashioned suit on an all white set.

Seok-cheon adjusted his glasses, "These treasures will come out tomorrow and will only be available for a limited time..."

A gesture of 'wow'''s and cheers came from a backtrack. Seok-cheon exaggerated his expression.

"My other treasures I would love to introduce to you today..." Seok-cheon stood and wiggled as if fawning in the direction of a door mid-set. "You will be surprised, you will be so surprised! You will thank me and bow to me out of thanks!" He sang.

The door mid-set summoned some clatter from behind, Seok-cheon looked towards the camera and covered his mouth with a shocked expression, slightly popping his lower body out. "I think our treasures are here!"

The door suddenly opened, and in came Baek Du-Ho. He was dressed in a jean jacket with matching barrel jeans, and a designer black tee.

"Ooh, ooh, oooh~!" Seok-cheon squealed and made fawning gestures over Baek Du-Ho's sheepish reaction.

Next, Mi Yong entered through the door, dressed in a patterned sweater that ran oversized and blue-washed jeans. Seok-cheon jumped up and stimmed his hands as if a fan girl. Mi Yong looked much more confident and waved at Seok-cheon with a smile.

Next, Ryeo Hyun entered through the door. He wore a black and tight tank that showed muscle with a short decorative jean jacket and a matching wash of jeans. Seok-cheon gestured towards the stomach of Ryeo Hyun and acted as if a succubus in lust. Ryeo Hyun was stoic, which made Seok-cheon even more bold.

Next, Jung Hyun-Ok walked through the door. He wore a white button up with an oversized black suit jacket and pants. Seok-cheon sat and fanned himself out of overheating.

When Reggie walked through, dressed in a beige and untucked suit, Seok-cheon looked behind Reggie as if looking for Joon-woo behind him.

"Very handsome~" Seok-cheon flirted to a slightly sheepish Reggie, "But I know not to get too close..." He gestured towards Joon-woo dressed in white pants and a white lightly-patterned sweater.

Joon-woo held his disdain well in that moment.

ASCEND was now all set in two rows of three chairs and across from host Jong Seok-cheon.

"For the first time in Gem Box history, we have a whole boy group visiting us! Please welcome the monster and very handsome rookies, ASCEND!" Seok-cheon whooped alone, jumping around and cooing as if he had accomplished all his life dreams.

Mi Yong nodded, "One, two, three..." He gestured to the others', "Hello, we are ASCEND!" All of ASCEND pitched in with a bow.

"Woow..." Seok-cheon fawned, "The visuals are just.... Too much!" He covered his eyes as if blinded. "Thank you for coming on today! We will treat you very well..."

"No, thank you for having us." Mi Yong, in his leader-like antics, replied.

"See you seem pretty happy to be here, Mi-Yo, are you not nervous?" Seok-cheon asked.

Mi Yong shook his head, "I've heard a lot of good things about your show, so I don't have a reason to be." He chuckled.

"Ahh, I see. What about the others'?" Seok-cheon prompted, "Did any of you know about this show?"
