Chapter 319
Debut or Die
If you canât debut, youâll get sick to death Episode 319:
Letâs leave âPark Moon-daeâ alone?
therefore⦠Whether or not he disappears like this, I will just go back to the point where I rode the target and continue living as a testa.
Now, there is no need to talk further with Park Moon-dae just to understand the principles of the system. Because I didnât seem to know anything.
Iâve done as much as I can, so Iâll stop worrying about it and completely get my hands on the idol life Iâve been developing for years.
I wonât deny it.
It sounded plausible when I heard it apart from being ruthless. Because I came to admit that the life I lived in that body was also mine.
âbut⦠.â
I took a deep breath and relaxed my fists.
âis not it.â
â⦠⦠.â
Cheongryeo stopped tapping her fingers on the table.
âOf course, what I experienced as a body at Park Moon University is my experience. Because I did it.â
âis it so. then⦠.â
âBut the body is different.â
I leaned over.
âI canât say that itâs mine unconditionally just because Iâve been using it for a few years. Park Moon-daeâs growth background is what he went through.â
â⦠⦠.â
âI happened to get quite a bit of help there.â
If âPark Moon-daeâ hadnât lived right, it would have been difficult to win such a dramatic first place. And even after debuting, it would have been X in the past.
Cheongryeo stared at me.
âHave you ever thought that you would have succeeded faster if you did it with your original body?â
âI havenât tried it, so I canât say for sure. And in the first place, this is also a problem that has nothing to do with achievement.â
I chuckled.
âPark Moon-dae has the right to live with his body. Donât blur the subject.â
â⦠⦠.â
He continued to stare at me without saying a word, then quietly opened his mouth.
âSo if thatâs what you want, youâre going to give up your juniorâs career?â
âI never said I would give up.â
âthen.â
I crossed my arms.
âWe have to come to an agreement.â
Now that his status ailments are over, I plan to listen to what he wants and make adjustments.
Iâm like that again⦠canât do it
âIâm just saying Iâm not going to wipe my mouth and eat my back.â
âI donât understand. You donât need to think about it that much.â
I shrugged.
âwhat⦠I must have heard it.â
After sharing how âPark Moon-daeâ has been for several days in a row over the past few years, it is because I am human too.
âItâs kind of funny how you think youâre going to respect the doctor and not how to get this bastard to give up.â
At that moment, the person sitting across from me removed his hand from the table without expression.
âIt makes me feel good.â
âokay.â
âI didnât expect it to weigh the same as your achievements.â
I put my glasses back on.
âI keep trying to measure things that canât be either/or⦠Change the words to four and a career and think about it.â
â⦠⦠.â
âIsnât it easier to live now with both of them than when I gave up on one because of career considerations?â
Just in time, the dog under the table barked. Cheong-rye reflexively lowered her hand.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
I could see the dog rubbing its nose.
âIâm also going to try to handle the situation with the goal of having both of them okay.â
â⦠⦠.â
Cheong-ryeo kept her mouth shut with a mysterious expression. It seemed as if he was rolling something in his head that he did not know whether it was a calculation or a thought.
âItâs surprising.â
I thought that this bastard was good at encouraging me to weed out competitors.
âThe way of thinking is exaggerated, but I gave honest advice.â
I ended up adding it briefly.
âanyway⦠Thank you for recognizing Testa Park Moon-dae as me.â
â⦠⦠.â
It wasnât a bad feeling that the first evaluation after hearing all this shit was recognition.
He paused for a moment, then smiled bitterly.
âis it so. What if it is?â
no i will cancel Well, Iâm a little pissed at Tura for giving me such a big permission.
Cheong-rye removed her hand from her dog.
âThatâs too bad. I was willing to help in case of emergency.â
I donât think this bastard was trying to help bury the main body of Bakmundae.
âHow wasteful is the career of a group 1 idol?â
I changed the subject to wake up the useless overindulgence of the guy.
âThen give me a phone call tomorrow.â
âtomorrow?â
âI thought Iâd have to check who was in this body after today.â
âhmm.â
âDonât do anything stupid.â
In order to prevent an unexpected situation, I was thinking of leaving a note telling âPark Moon-daeâ to listen carefully to the voice coming through this phone and remember it and skip it in the future.
Cheong-rye shrugged.
âgreat. I will contact you through another body, so wait.â
âI donât need that⦠.â
for a moment.
I remembered the phone call I received from this guy out of the blue one day in November.
-hmm⦠I wonder if you have anything to say to me.
and the next word.
â Is it yet?
â⦠⦠â
Looking back at the date, today is the day before.
âI see.â
now i get it This bastard contacted me knowing the situation at that time.
âBut he didnât mention it once and wiped his mouth until he got on the target.â
Whether itâs helpful or not,
heâs an unpredictable bastard. I clicked my tongue and got up.
âAre you going?â
âokay.â
Since the story was over and there was no case in particular, I thought of looking for more traces of Park Moon-dae, even physically.
âUh, good bye. I will contact you tomorrow.â
It felt a bit odd that I had already received that call.
âokay.â
I ended the conversation with Cheongryeo and returned to the officetel.
Upon arrival, the search began immediately.
âIs there anything?â
No sign of anything came out.
I didnât feel much of a sense of life in an officetel, perhaps because I was stuck in a boarding school. Only one bedroom was filled with hobbies everywhere.
Testaâs albums and MDs.
It was kept well in various drawers that I didnât even have time to open because Iâd been chatting with him every time.
âDid you come to the concert again?â
I even visited the MD of the world tour I did earlier this year.
âLooks like youâve had a good time.â
I smiled and put them back. Still, it wasnât a bad feeling to have been used to relieve stress in this guyâs life for exams.
But the situation was still the same.
The whereabouts of âPark Moon-daeâ are still unknown, and the only thing that can be confirmed is the calendar on the smartphone.
-The day I meet my brother!
â⦠.â
Other than that, there are no special schedules and no logged-in social media accounts. Except for looking for Testa, I think I really only studied and lived.
I tried a few times to see if I could see his status window, but nothing popped up. Itâs just my âreceiving my rewardâ.
âafter.â
Once here
Eventually, around midnight, I sat down on the couch and started scribbling notes.
-When I came in, you werenât there, so I left it in writing. First of all, congratulations on passing and hard work.
⦠⦠.
Since the Cheong-Ryeo phone call was set to be recorded, I once again organized everything from not to meet or spill additional information after familiarizing myself with the voice, to how to contact me in December.
Then soon⦠Itâs midnight.
dang-.
Iâm lying on the sofa
A small bell rings in the corner.
âYou changed the clock.â
After a short thought like âI think that was a concert MDâ, unconditional sleep comes over again.
Soon the senses and thoughts disappeared. As always these days.
dang-.
But the bell rings.
âWait a minuteâ
And what Iâm doing is cognition and thinking.
âIâm coming back.â
I donât know what it is, but itâs like Iâm trying to completely fall asleep and have been interrupted⦠.
âbrother!â
â⦠!â
I got up.
I was still in the officetel. But there was one strange thing.
âItâs really nice, brother⦠!â
A strange-looking boy was sitting on the floor in front of the sofa where I was lying.
It seems to resemble me in a strange way, but itâs not exactly the same⦠.
âPark Moondae.â
When his name was called, he smiled awkwardly.
âyes⦠Iâm not sure if I can call you by that name.â
I could guess why he said that. That guy seemed to have been fixed in his early twenties by mixing some of Ryu Kun-woo into the frame of Park Moon-dae.
âDid you receive that as a new body?â
I have a headache because of sleep. I pressed my temples and rose from the sofa.
âThatâs your name, though.â
âthat⦠My brother uses that name too. Because I also wrote my brotherâs name⦠Ah, then, please call me âbig moonâ!â
It sounds like a title that could only come out of a game jeongmo, but do whatever you want. I nodded and went straight to the point.
âHow is the situation now?â
Itâs an unexpected situation, but it seems strangely calm.
The guy in front of me turned to the blinds on the veranda with a slightly nervous face.
and operated the button.
âOh first⦠Please look at this.â
Wiing.
The blinds open and what you see⦠.
â⦠!â
The sunset was setting outside the window.
However, it is not a common color. The feeling of the golden and purple-red sunlight colliding with each other and hearing the sound of a music box somewhere.
It was something I knew.
âItâs a scene from the teaser, and hyung and I must have been very impressed. This has been implemented.â
â⦠avatar?â
âyes.â
The guy laughed awkwardly.
âI⦠This is the world of imagination.â
â⦠⦠!â
âSo itâs not real, it only happens in our heads⦠.â
âYou know what, stop it.â
âyes.â
You can understand it as a state similar to the daydream you had during that coma.
And I also realized why he was behaving like that. It seems that self-awareness was mixed while living as âRyu Gun-wooâ.
âIâm going through all kinds of experiences.â
I held back a sigh.
The guy laughed awkwardly.
âYour brother really knows everything⦠.â
I said that because there are so many things I donât know about that I feel like Iâm going to turn around.
âNo way. Rather, you seem familiar with this situation.â
â⦠⦠.â
âMaybe today⦠So, were you still here yesterday?â
Originally, Park Moon-daeâKeun-dalâ sat carefully on the floor. And he answered seriously.
âyes.â
also.
âAnd it wasnât just yesterday.â
âwhat?â
âBrother I⦠Youâve been pressing âaccept synchronizationâ while resolving status ailments.â
I remember. It made people feel uncomfortable by only mentioning âaccumulated completionâ every time.
âIt turned out that it was synchronized with the time I was with my brother.â
âAre you with me?â
âyes.â
âI have no memory of that.â
âIt was different.â
Keundal rubbed his palms on his thighs with a nervous face. and said quietly
Bring up a random topic.
âHyung, I want to apologize first.â
âMy older brother suffered so much⦠Actually, itâs my fault.â
â⦠⦠.â
âthat⦠When my brother fell into a coma, I had a crazy idea.â
He slowly began to explain the situation at the time.
âBecause my brother said he might never wake up again. So I⦠I cleaned my brotherâs house. I knew then.â
Following those words, the thoughts he had experienced at the time began to rise directly in my head like a resonance.
-this⦠.
the camera I used.
And among the data that I didnât delete there,
there was also something I uploaded with the âgun1234â account.
And this guy who was tidying up the house seemed to recognize it at once.
The psychological blow was very decisive.
-What should I do⦠.
âat that time⦠I must have been very heartbroken. Itâs no different than hyung helping me from then until now, but thereâs nothing I can do to help, and hyung is going to die soon⦠.â
â⦠⦠.â
âSo I was packing up and going back, and I accidentally leaned against the handrail of the outer stairwell with the trash in my hand. without thinking⦠.â
It was such a cheap one-room building, so I thought the railing looked dangerous when I went out to smoke.
âBut the railing couldnât overcome its weight and collapsed⦠.â
And, of course, when this guy is at his most frantic, it is destroyed.
-ping!
at the worst possible timing.
âTo be honest, I thought I might have broken my leg in moderation until now⦠⦠I didnât talk about it because I was worried. But maybe⦠Maybe I was on the verge of dying then.â
I almost bit my tongue. But the manâs story wasnât over.
âSo I guess the system got it wrong.â
âmistaken?â
âThis system grants wishes based on the thoughts you had right before you died.â
The big moon swallowed.
âhowever⦠I hoped that my brother would live a long and happy life, but at that time, he was in a coma on the verge of death like me⦠An error occurred. You misunderstood the object.â
â⦠!â
âMy older brother went back to the past and lived in my body instead of me.â
â Ugh⦠.
I remembered waking up in a dirty motel room.
But the point of view of that scene⦠It was me.
âI think I was fused into the system in the process⦠I guess there was still a bit of ego left. Itâs like a pattern of behavior that needs to be corrected.â
And I realized
This guy continued to use the word âsystemâ naturally.
⦠Just like the usage of the word I had never explained to anyone who defined it myself.
I barely opened my mouth.
â⦠status window.â
The guy nods.
âthatâs right.â
â⦠⦠.â
âSo, brother, I am⦠It was my brotherâs status window.â
