Chapter 285

If you can’t debut, you’ll get a fatal disease Episode 285

The most unexpected… No, I heard the opposite of what I expected.

‘Do you need help?’

So I’m not trying to argue why the facts don’t match at all, but I’m worried about what’s wrong with me… .

‘Is it for creating an atmosphere?’

I raised my head to read Ryu Cheng-wu’s expression.

And that idea was withdrawn. Liu Qingyu’s face was clean.

yeah he’s not that guy

That’s what I said because I really wanted to help.

“… … after.”

… I was bewildered.

‘I didn’t expect help stories to come out in this situation.’

It seems that Liu Cheng-wu had continued to think that he was indebted to me for the car accident.

‘I didn’t consider that part in particular.’

Come to think of it, before, I even organized it with my mouth to say ‘thank you’.

I remembered what I said to Ryu Chung-woo, who seemed to be suffering from a sense of debt at the time of the uninhabited island distress entertainment.

-is it so. Well, let’s say I saved my brother’s life.

-… !

– You can be very grateful in the future. If necessary, I will call you without hesitation, so please repay me.

Liu Cheng-wu really did what he said.

‘… I was climbing at this time too.’

It was kind of funny to get a similar comment in the same situation.

“hmm.”

I put my arms over the railing and smiled bitterly.

I sorted it out… I feel more strange. A helping hand instead of doubt.

‘It’s rare.’

I was shaking. But it wasn’t bad.

I answered slowly.

“first… thank you.”

“… … .”

“You said so. It’s an upsetting situation.”

“That’s not right.”

Liu Cheng-wu answered firmly, and himself leaned comfortably with his arms on the railing.

“You didn’t lie, and I wasn’t harmed, so why are you angry?”

It’s surprising that you believe I didn’t lie.

I was about to sink into a strange feeling, but I quickly got out.

Because there is still something left to answer.

“And my situation is actually difficult for me to understand or explain… It’s not necessarily so hard that you need help.”

I pondered over my situation.

I had success with this job, and the status ailments disappeared… The guys I live with are all good guys.

I live fine.

‘No, it’s too much.’

Taking risks is the destiny of this job. And compared to sudden death, there is a context.

“All the difficult things have passed. Now just… I’m having a hard time buying it. I’m trying to find out why the contradictions you mentioned came about.”

just… Now, I don’t know why I came into this body and do this, so I had to know the truth.

‘If we don’t know the cause, we don’t know when this situation will change again.’

Liu Qingyu nodded.

“That’s why you need the whereabouts of ‘Ryu Gun-woo’.”

I like this look again.

“Yes. So my brother is already helping.”

Ryu Cheng-wu laughed.

“okay. Don’t worry about that part, I’ll do everything I can. Anything else?”

“Fine… .”

Oh there is one

“I have to ride the target this time, so please cooperate with me.”

You can get the reward for the mission ‘Conversation with Moondae Park’ if you are the target.

“what?”

Liu Cheng-wu finally looked as if he had been beaten, and soon smiled comfortably.

“That’s what our team should originally be aiming for.”

“Iknow, right.”

Not asking the reason for all this nonsense… It’s probably because of the misunderstanding that it was meant to turn a joke-cum-conversation back into orbit.

‘Even if I misunderstand like that, I don’t have anything to explain.’

But what should I say… There was a strange sense of liberation from just saying it so openly.

The strength in my shoulders was gone.

“good. I will work harder.”

“thank you.”

I laughed with him and looked at the scenery of the road. The middle of the mountain without people was quiet.

“It’s a bit hot, but the weather is nice.”

“yes.”

The heat was greater than the comfort, but I didn’t bother pointing it out.

Even after that, Ryu Cheong-woo did not ask for more detailed circumstances and reasons.

I only checked one thing while descending.

“Ryu Gun-woo’s circumstances match yours… Isn’t that a coincidence?”

“yes.”

“okay.”

That was all. With that said, this topic is over.

‘Isn’t it stuffy?’

If it were me, I would have judged on my own whether I understood it or not, so I would have yelled at him to steal everything I knew, but it was an amazing composure.

Instead, Ryu Chung-woo ended the conversation with, “I said it’s not now, but if you need help in the future, feel free to tell me.”

Even that wasn’t the end.

“Moondae, can you speak more comfortably?”

These were the words of Ryu Cheong-wu, who was driving on the way back to his lodging after descending the mountain.

“Thinking about it, I’m not even in the athletes’ village yet, so I must have been very strict about being polite.”

“no. You can.”

It sounds like a big deal.

“It would have looked bad to people if I had said anything at all. There may be some controversy.”

If it was like that right after debut… Um, Park Gommo must have been brutally beaten for ignoring the leader for being number one.

However, Liu Cheng-wu did not give up.

“Um, yes. So how do we do this? Just use respect and don’t be too formal. I think you can just add ‘Yo’.”

Why?

However, there was a corner where I could guess why he said that.

I finally smiled and answered.

“Is that so? brother.”

“haha.”

I didn’t particularly play music in the car on the way back, but I didn’t mind the silence.

And I realized that my problem was solved.

‘… There won’t be a repeat of the summer package controversy.’

That’s how I got used to my new roommate.

But when one problem is solved, another problem arises.

* * *

After the conversation with Ryu Chung-woo, Dawn was digesting the insanely tight comeback preparation schedule again.

[VTIC Senior Senior: Do you not exercise?]

A sudden call came.

‘Why is this guy useless texting… .’

[VTIC Senior Senior: (Puppy photo)]

I checked a picture of a dog happily walking on the promenade of an apartment building that I was familiar with.

Dogs are familiar too. To be exact, I met him while jogging in the fog at dawn.

‘Come to think of it, I never went for a walk there after that.’

I couldn’t believe it even after I said it, but I forgot to go hiking.

I typed a rough reply with one unadorned hand.

[I switched to a different exercise]

[Vtic senior Chong Ryeo: That’s right. I didn’t see it, so I called. I’m done with today too]

It means that I can resume my early morning walk without worrying about meeting this bastard. It’s good news, but I’m busy preparing for a comeback, so I can’t go out anyway… .

‘Wait a minute, you’re saying this bastard can’t come over there either?’

That means… .

I threw the most nerve-wracking of several possibilities with a fastball.

[Are you ready for a comeback?]

The breaking ball is back.

[VTIC Senior Shin Cheong-ryeo: I’m always preparing for an album ^^]

‘X-footed.’

These bastards are making a comeback now. It’s obvious to see you talking like this.

‘How will the term be?’

I quickly shook my head.

This year, we made a comeback in January and these guys in February.

It’s the end of May now… Then, looking at this bastard’s nuance, it means that VTIC will make a comeback around June.

‘Then it’s a four-month term… It’s perfect for a repackage in that weight class.’

Usually when a repackage is released, sales tend to drop compared to the previous album.

It is an album that comes out with only one or two songs added to the previous regular album, so there is little purchasing merit and the term is short, so it is burdensome for consumers to spend a lot of money.

But 4 months is enough.

‘There is almost no damage at this level.’

It’s almost the normal activity level of a rookie, and since the quality of VTIC’s album is so well-known, everyone who buys it will buy it.

And it’s made like this… .

‘This is what I won’t lose in annual performance.”

Since the Maginot Line is a comeback early in the third quarter, it must have been planned since the beginning of this year.

‘It means that I have to put in half a year’s grades.’

At the same time, I am confident in this repackage.

“… … .”

It must be tough. I smiled bitterly.

“He had the same plan as us.”

Because we are aiming for a comeback this summer for exactly the same reason.

“Mr. Moondae, I’ll go in for a shot right now!”

“yes.”

I put down my smartphone and followed the staff. But my head was spinning.

“Slightly oblique to the front… Yes. That will be fine.”

And we came to a conclusion while taking album concept photos.

‘Don’t overlap the moon like this.’

We also have the Maginot Line in July. If possible, make a comeback as scheduled in June so that you can eat together for at least one month.

However, after a while, the emergency news that came through the company’s emergency contact network was the exact opposite of my hopes.

“… It’s July.”

-Yeah.

The wheezing of a planning team employee who was holding back his lust could be heard over the handed over phone of Ryu Cheng-wu. I held back a sigh.

It is said that the news of VTIC’s comeback in July has been spread throughout the news, just two days after the day I texted Cheongryeo.

[“King of KPOP” VTIC comeback in July… Countdown to album reservations]

It was sealed without Cardo and then opened.

“… … .”

okay. Let’s think of it a little better… Still, it was also something that broke off early, roughly a month and a half later.

It must also mean that if you don’t want to be eaten by those in your weight class, you should avoid them.

‘It’s tingling.’

Our company’s sealing skills must be heinous, so our comeback schedule must have already been exhausted through T1.

‘Then, whether you put it off until September or take off your rank insignia, let’s stick to it?’

Do you want to do such a dangerous thing?

“You know that we are making a comeback in July, right?”

-… no. You probably know it as June. Because our first article went like that… .

“… … .”

Right.

It seems that when T1 mentioned the testa activity plan while unraveling stock-related presentations and articles, it was announced as June out of June or July, which was the scheduled month at the time.

June was the second quarter, so I felt different when I composed the PPT.’

It was a common trick.

And if VTIC’s agency, LeTi, thought we were in June and caught it, maybe VTIC’s comeback… It will be at the end of July.

Worse. They can really overlap.

“I understand for now.”

I hung up the phone with a cold head and returned it to Liu Chengyu. Anyway, I was on the move again, so I couldn’t talk any more.

“Brother here.”

“okay.”

And what this means is that the members are listening to the phone call next to me.

“Are you overlapping with our VTIC seniors again?”

“uh.”

“after.”

Big Sejin sighed and smiled bitterly. The other guys are also nervous.

And it was well worth it. Because it’s a reenactment of the nightmare that was released at the same time as our debut.

At that time, I somehow managed to win first place, but when I think about the hardships I had, people usually feel helpless.

“Umm~ OK!”

Oh, except for that guy.

And Bae Se-jin intervened in a tone of frustration.

“If it’s that burdensome, can’t we postpone it a bit? August is fine too.”

“If I go to that extent, I think I will lose money in my year-end grades.”

If you exceed the beginning of the third quarter, you lose too much on the music score at the end of the year.

Then you can only focus on the album target, but that’s… Already being pushed by VTIC.

A decision was needed.
