Chapter 312
Debut or Die
If you canât debut, youâll die from an illness Episode 312
The two-day concert ended in great success.
-Please encore
-No, what if I make something like this and finish it in two days, you crazy people (itâs not a good idea)
-Make sure to buy it when it comes out on VOD. This is a recommendation for public interest
. First of all, it was fun and fresh.
A dramatic concert that embodies a narrative. Since Iâm good at the stage, I must have eaten half of it.â
The status window opens, but there is nothing to remove. The performance was great.
Of course, there were some people who were disappointed in terms of intimacy and communication, but after the W Live after-party as scheduled, it drastically decreased.
[Kyung â Testa karaoke opening âCongratulations] I
didnât just recite the behind the scenes of the concert, I received the songs in the form of a karaoke room and ran.
Thanks to that, my neck was a bit strained, but⦠It was worth it.
âOkayâ
I slapped all the pear bellflower juice I was drinking down my throat.
A cold wind was blowing outside. Looks like the guys out there are having a hard time.
â Are you really not going to Mundaemun University?
The guy who asked until the end eventually went out to enjoy just one day off. It was worth it.
Now is the period of preparing the stage for the end of the year in early November.
What it means is that you shouldnât expect a day off this year after today.
âNo, until about February.â
It will end with an awards ceremony and tour combo.
Today, there is no special contact from the staff. Heâll be filthy busy too.
They said that the format of this concert is special, so itâs difficult for us to match it perfectly at concert halls or tours.
So, they must be diligently modifying the plan by mixing general concert configurations according to the specifications of various venues.
âItâs a busy season.â
Today is also my last free time, so itâs better to clear my head and rest⦠.
Drooling!
Smartphone rings.
[VTIC Senior Shin Cheong-ryeo: (Image)]
[Senior VTIC Cheong-ryeo Cheong: How are you?]
â⦠⦠.â
Are we going to say goodbye? When I was resting, this bastard contacted me and Iâve never seen anything good, so itâs best to just ignore it.
However, when I saw the attached image, I changed my mind.
I thought it was a dog again, but it wasnât, it was a capture from an internet article.
[âA magical boy who defeats villains with a song!â Testa Appearance]
It was a provocation.
I replied to the guy.
[Yes, senior. We are working hard. So many people enjoyed the photo you sent, so Iâm going to accept it now.] Itâs a
good thing because the reaction is good, but it doesnât matter if itâs a magical girl or a boy.
Itâs not mental victory, but really, that entertainment story still comes out on the Internet.
Both in name and reality, he is the hottest rising male idol in Korea this year.
âIn the second half of this year, I ran without a single twist.â
Sexuality and topicality are not pushed anywhere. If itâs an awards ceremony close to T1, itâs almost certain that theyâll give us a grand prize.
âIs this bastard doing this because heâs pissed off?â
But the reply came without a delay.
[VTIC Senior Shin Cheong-ryeo: Thatâs right. I was trying to say that it suits you well ^^]
This bastard is completely trying to attract people⦠.
âIs this because Eun-won settled everything with the help of Gold 2?â
In that case, youâd better get a picture of the dog. I briefly contemplated whether to just turn off my smartphone.
But at that moment, I didnât even reply, but the phone rang out of nowhere.
[VTIC Senior Shin Cheong-ryeo]
â⦠?â
So what.
There might be information between the bullshit, so I received it for now.
âWhat are you doing?â
Then a calm voice was heard.
-hmm⦠I wonder if you have anything to say to me.
âyes?â
what kind of bullshit
Then, there was silence over the phone for a moment, and then I heard a slightly regretful voice.
â Is it yet?
âyet?â
â Iâm talking to myself. I just called because I was curious how you were doing.
I donât think so.
âAs I said, I am doing well.â
Surely ânot yetâ doesnât mean that some trick has been played but it hasnât exploded yet.
I asked outright.
âDid you prepare anything else?â
-hmm?
âI want you to say âyetâ.â
Then, the sound of laughter comes over the phone.
â Oh, itâs not really different. I wondered if your junior hadnât entered the country yet. Testa had a brief overseas schedule last week.
âBut that sounds like an excuse.â
There was no sign of cheating, so I decided to let it go.
â We entered the country.
I see
âIf you have time, letâs go out to T-Holic sunbaenimâs variety show after entering Korea. I recommend it.â
I wondered what to do with those nojam bastards. However, the guy answered meekly.
-Oh that⦠Seniors.
If it wasnât for the phone call, he probably wouldnât have called you senior.
-Your survivability is really amazing. I have good resilience no matter what happens⦠I have often admired it.
It is a story that he did everything possible to kill him before, but he survived by far.
I made it simple.
âSenior is like that too.â
â Well, is it? Have you ever been in that position?
I donât know why, but it pisses me off because he seems to be having fun.
-Anyway, I have no intention of going there, but thanks for the recommendation
.
Taeyeon.
â⦠Even if you go over one target item, your position is strong.â
what a good thing It means that the probability that this bastard will hit me in the back of the head has decreased.
Cheong-Ryeo ended the call with a smile.
-Then see you at the awards ceremony.
âyes.â
And it actually happened.
The last time I saw Cheongryeo was at an awards ceremony for a major music chart that was scheduled for the last time that month.
* * *
âAh Testa, I showed you something today⦠Can you give it to me?â
âof course!â
âhaha!â
The members, who finished all preparations in the waiting room before the awards ceremony started, look half excited and half nervous.
To be honest, if thereâs a guy who doesnât expect to win an award in this situation, thatâs a weird guy.
⦠I didnât expect that he had already taken out the champagne.
âNow, shall we toast?â
âYeah cheeeeers!â
The guys with the non-alcoholic champagne included in the catering looked like test takers eating glutinous rice cakes right before an exam.
âwhat⦠The atmosphere is good.â
Among those who were in such a mood, Ryu Cheong-woo pointed out one with a smile.
âSejin seems to have something to say. Can you give me a toast?â
âMy me?â
âhuh.â
âOooh~â
Sejin Bae reddened his face, but didnât get angry.
âWell then⦠.â
Instead, he cleared his throat a few times before seriously opening his mouth again.
âThis year too⦠It was a lot of hard work and no matter what the result! Letâs not doubt that we worked hard and did well!â
It was surprisingly plausible. I donât think Ryu Chung-woo pointed it out for nothing.
âLooks like they prepared it secretly.â
âbrother⦠.â
âI think so too⦠!â
âI am impressed.â
The atmosphere was even better.
Big Sejin also held out his hand with a smile without saying anything.
âI wish you all the best next year! Oh, we still have to do the official slogan properly one more time~â
â⦠okay!â
âgreat!â
And to shout fighting slogans, the members put their heads together to form a circle.
A relief formation that would only appear right before a sporting event.
It may not be very different in terms of winning and losing and being rewarded.
âOh Mundae hand!â
I reached out. A familiar slogan comes out energetically.
âAh Testa, show me something today!â
âand!!â
The adrenaline rushed.
I finished the non-alcoholic champagne in one go and left the empty glass on the table.
âThen letâs go out.â
Thatâs how the first awards ceremony began.
The first part of the went by without any special features.
Rookie stage with good grades The performance is regrettable, but a meaningful stage Rookie stage of a large agency⦠.
It doesnât mean much. Itâs just that the group with Gold 2 briefly showed their faces.
Of course, there could be controversy over my attitude, so I took the position of eagerly watching the stage.
After the long first part is over and the second part is over, the long-awaited words come out.
Again after stage and stages have passed.
When the popularity of the person who appeared as an award presenter changes, and the effect before the presentation and the time leading to the introduction change.
[The next award is given to the artist who has shown activities that comfort and move the most people this year.]
Yes.
[Artist Award!]
It was the first grand prize. And thatâs the prize weâre aiming for.
The camera finds and captures the target candidates.
The camera, which arrived right in front of our block, grabs this table without hesitation.
âoh⦠.â
âShh!â
Big Sejin controlled Cha Yujin. thatâs right
Time goes by like that.
[The Artist of the Year award winner is⦠.]
drumming.
Singers laugh awkwardly.
A swinging cheering stick.
And finally the words are spat out.
[â¦] Testa!]
The camera lights up.
[Congratulations!]
Wow!!
The sound of pollen popping, the sound of cheers, the sound of music.
And the familiar faces on the billboard. The expressions on their faces, passing bewilderment and entering into joy, are very similar.
The funny thing is that Iâm no different.
âah.â
I was expecting to receive it.
I donât think they brought the order to the front for no reason. Because I have to subtract them in order of year and give the ending to the seniors.
but⦠yeah iâll be honest
It feels like someone has hit a gong in my head. Goosebumps ran all the way to the inside of my skull.
âTarget.â
Are you really riding this this year?
Big Sejin staggered and stood up from his seat. I pulled out of my chair and got up.
I think people around me are clapping, but Iâm not sure. I dragged Cha Yoo-jin, who tapped my shoulder, up to the podium.
Sun Ah-hyun and shoulders collide.
We stood on stage. Bouquets and trophies pass each other.
âthank you.â
Liu Chengwu took the microphone off his lips as if he was choking for a moment, then calmly spoke again.
âwe⦠I am very happy and honored to receive this undeserved award. Not just this year, but the members who have been working hard every day since their debut.â
Ryu Chung-woo took care of each and every one of his fans, staff, and parents. I heard that they were practicing from the dorm, but I didnât spill it and listened.
He was the one who deserved it.
And it felt like that.
â⦠Thanks again.â
But just as I was about to say that, someone stabbed me in the back from behind.
I thought it was the wrong poke the first time, but Iâm sure it wasnât the second time.
â⦠?â
What.
âMundae!â
It was a big wave.
he pushes me Other guys made a seat and openly vacated the middle.
âwhat.â
Thatâs how I ended up being pushed to the center. The guys around me tap on the shoulder. The pollen stuck there stuck to his nose and fell.
There is a microphone in front of it.
â⦠Thatâs great.â
Procrastinating to occupy the last impression⦠Of course not, I picked up a laugh and grabbed the mic in front of the audience.
⦠Iâm a little excited.
âNow that Iâve caught it, I should say something.â
That was the moment.
[Mission cleared!]
â⦠!â
A hologram appeared.
After clearing the status abnormality, the one that didnât appear when I wasnât calling.
And I understood the situation a beat late.
âah.â
Right.
As I expected, public opinion was important.
This⦠Because Testa is an authoritative object in the public perception of being a target.
âStill, clearing at the first awards ceremony.â
It was a development I liked. I was willing to accept this situation.
But the hologram is not over. It pulls out unsolicited articles.
[Payment is being settled⦠.]
â⦠!â
now?
The order is odd.
âI have to accept the reward to receive it⦠X feet!â
I realized that I was mistaken about something.
This wasnât the âStatus Abnormalityâ that the system gave.
therefore⦠It means that there was no guarantee that what was possible when clearing the status abnormality would be the same.
The same was true of compensation checks.
âUnless Iâm in the form of pressing the reward.â
A cold sweat runs down my neck.
The hologram that appeared in front of me crackled and changed its shape.
[Reward completed!]
Reward: Conversation with Moondae Park
completed?
At that moment, my vision blurred.
â Park Moon-dae!
Just like the debut of when I cleared the first status abnormality.
And it was a blackout.
* * *
When you think about it, it was really strange.
That I, who had never participated in a talent show, had a job dancing and singing in front of others.
âOriginally I⦠.â
Why did you take pictures of idols?
I can say that because it makes money, but then why did the people who didnât make money film it?
The pleasure I got there⦠.
Was it vicarious satisfaction?
âHuh.â
I opened my eyes.
inside a dark room.
I saw a familiar ceiling. But itâs been so long that I donât feel familiar or welcome⦠that. This is the ceiling of my old bedroom.
â⦠!!â
I got up. And groped his face. A glass ball is caught.
Without running to the bathroom to look in the mirror, this head, hands and glasses⦠.
my original body.
Ryu Gun-woo, not Park Moon-dae.
â⦠⦠!â
I clenched my fist. And he bowed his head.
âCalm down.â
and this situation.
âthis.â
This⦠I already had a similar experience once.
âdaydream.â
Is it similar to the coma? Even now, in case you dream⦠⦠.
It was then.
[Hey there!]
â⦠!â
what.
Hearing in my head⦠No, a strange resonance that I donât know if itâs right to say I hear this.
[I⦠bro why are you here⦠⦠⦠.]
I spat out the words.
âWho are you.â
[Yes yes?]
An echo as if crying.
Then a small resonance sounded.
[Bar Park Mundaeyo.]
â⦠⦠.â
this⦠Whatâs up with the X.
