18. Hiatus Annoucement

Switch Rivals

The backlash went even further with news stations getting involved. "Sechskies' Kim Jaeduck wore a mask for what reason? Was it to hide something or to not be in the spotlight."

This was getting worse as time goes by. Jaeduck couldn't show his face in public anymore. Tony thinks it's time to do the unthinkable.

"Are you sure, hyung?" (Jaeduck)

"I'm sure. I'm doing this for you." (Tony)

A few days later, they switched again and Tony went to a press conference to make an announcement without the CEO's permission.

"Hyung! Are you crazy?!" (Jaeduck)

"It's the only way. They already received enough backlash." (Tony)

"Now, Tony. Don't do anything too crazy." (Heejun)

Tony nods and heads to the reporters.

"Jaeduck-sshi. What is this thing that your announcing?"

"With all the backlash that the rest of Sechskies, minus Suwon, have been receiving, I decided to take a hiatus." (Tony)

"But won't the fans not like it?"

"It's for the best. I'm doing this for the group. And for a friend." (Tony)

"And who is that friend?"

"I'm not allowed to say." (Tony)

 

After a new hours, the conference ended. But not long after, the rest of Sechskies showed up.

"What are you thinking?! A hiatus?!" (Jiwon)

"I'm doing this for the group. Who wants a suffering idol?" (Tony)

"But..." (Jiwon)

"Hyung, stop it! You've already hurt him too much!" (Suwon)

"Suwon. You too?" (Jiwon)

"Listen, Jaeduck. You got this all wrong. We're not mistreating you." (Jaijin)

"Then how will you explain this." Tony pulls out a recorder. He plays the recordings of what the members were saying.

"So, tell me why Jaeduck hyung doesn't have any parts?" (Suwon)

"Because, his voice is so annoying and he's not even good at singing." (Jiwon)

"You're not that good at singing either." (Suwon)

"Watch your mouth, Jang. You'll regret saying that." (Jiwon)

"Now, now you two." (Jaijin)

"Hyung. This is not going anywhere." (Jiyong)

"Actually, I agree with Jiwon hyung. Jaeduck hyung is not that talented." (Sunghoon)

"Why are you saying those about him. He's great." (Suwon)

"Only to you." (Jiwon)

"I think I have to agree with that logic." (Jiyong)

"Come on guys. You're mistreaeting him." (Suwon)

"Mistreating him. We're just saying our opinions." (Jiwon)

"And Jaijin hyung. You guys were friends." (Suwon)

"We are but he changed." (Jaijin)

"He's unworkable now." (Sunghoon)

"And he can't even keep his mind together." (Jiwon) The recording ended.

"When did you record that?!" (Jiwon)

"I placed a microphone in Suwon's pocket and recorded everything." (Tony)

"Why did you... I thought that..." (Jaijin)

"Why are we friends? I think the question should be: Why should we be friends?" (Tony)

"But..." (Jiwon)

"No Buts. Now, if you will excuse me." (Tony)

"Hyung, wait!" (Suwon)

"What up with him?" (Jiyong)

"I don't know but we're going to find out." (Jiwon)

 

Back at the house...

"Don't you think you took it too far?" (Woohyuk)

"No. They need to think about what they've been doing to him." (Tony)

"So, what are you going to do now?" (Jaewon)

"Work on additional work as well as being there for Jaeduck." (Tony)

"You mean..." (Jaeduck)

"Jeaduck, I'm doing this all for you." (Tony)

"Hyung. You don't have to. You're always protecting me." (Jaeduck)

"I'm just doing what's right." (Tony)

Is this what's right? Taking a hiatus is okay in all but doing that and threatening the Sechskies members is on the side of being not cool. What will happen during this time?
