The Second Chance of A Suicidal Idol

Baek Du-Ho (1)

Kim Soyeon would have widened her eyes at the Reggie and Joon-woo unit magazine shoot, if it wasn't the tenth one that month. Taking a wild west theme, Joon-woo sat on a large wooden box. Reggie sat butt on the ground below Joon-woo, one leg straight, and the other bent up. They both wore blank modal-like expressions.

Of course, Kim Soyeon sighed, the Flights all across Witter ate the magazine up.

Imagine how many takes it took because they were too busy looking at each other 😂

Kim Soyeon missed Mi Yong. She felt even worse for the Baek Du-Ho biased Flights! There was little to no content of any of the other members, no solo ones anyway. She, at first, enjoyed the little shipping. On Producer10, it felt so much less forced.

She peered to her shelf of photocard binders and sighed. She wanted another Mi Yong photocard to add to her collection! She had every Mi Yong photocard to exist, and almost all of Joon-woo. Though she was slightly well-off, collecting Joon-woo was like trying to collect photocards with gold bars. All of his photocards were overpriced. And don't even get her started on the unit "ROON" photocards.

Only like a hundred would be made from the product of the magazines and they would be priced up in the hundreds! It was ridiculous and Kim Soyeon was frankly bored of all the Joon-woo and Reggie content. She wasn't bored of them perse, but the content surrounding them was all the same.

Her phone buzzed with a slight ring to it. She had a special ringtone for ASCEND Meverse post notifications. She turned her phone to see something from Ryeo Hyun.

It was a selfie. Of course, Reggie nor Joon-woo were in it because they were spotted earlier in the morning at some "couple" variety show. The selfie was from after an ad shoot, based on the products they held up.

Thank you so much for having us @KTUDE !!

The photo was of Mi Yong, Jung Hyun-Ok, Ryeo Hyun, and Baek Du-Ho holding up lip gloss bottles in a selfie. Baek Du-Ho seemed a little pale and they wore smiles and heavier make-up than usual. And gosh, Mi Yong looked so good.

Kim Soyeon went to screenshot the post, refreshing to get the best quality picture, only to be led to a loading screen.

She frowned, and reloaded the app.

The photo was gone.

She melted into her bed sheets. All she wanted was Mi Yong content!

Baek Du-Ho lied in his bed, expectedly sick. His face was pale and hot to the touch. His whole body felt double fatigued and whenever he even opened his mouth he went to cough. It made sense to Baek Du-Ho. He was a sickly child. He had no hospitalized care because it was never that serious, but he often was sick multiple times a month with a low fever.

His missed his parents in cases like this, but the soup Reggie had apparently prepared for him late into the night helped. That was the case usually, Joon-woo and Reggie getting back from their duo work late into the night. But Baek Du-Ho appreciated the gesture.

Mi Yong had claimed himself on speed dial for whenever Baek Du-Ho needed him, as ASCEND still had schedules lined up. Mr. Jeong hadn't really said much. He remembered the loud scolding at the KTUDE advertisement from Mr. Jeong. Baek Du-Ho could barely recall the previous day at all, but he knew it probably wasn't a good day. Everyone looked worn out by the end of it.
