Chapter 472

Episode 472

Cha Yoo-jin, who collapsed in the conference room, was quickly transported to the emergency room.

“Cha Yoo-jin? Eugene!”

“Can you hear me?”

“… … .”

Cha Yoo-jin did not move the whole time in the car.

There is no reaction from the whole body, which was normally full of vitality and energy to the ends of the extremities.

It was like a thing.

It was strange.

“How did this happen?!”

“… I just suddenly collapsed… There were no other symptoms. at all.”

Originally, all the X-like things in my life suddenly happen.

What kind of analysis and countermeasures do you mean by someone who freezes to death? Even if I tried to prepare with energy, it was useless when the situation eventually shuts up… .

‘no.’

I pressed my thighs.

I haven’t even tested properly yet, but I’m already doing well. X feet.

Let’s do something productive.

‘From the symptoms.’

I reached out my hand to Cha Yu-jin’s face. And I checked the guy’s breathing and heart rate.

“… … .”

“Park Moondae?”

I exhaled.

“… Breathing seems stable.”

“ah… !”

I’m no expert, but at least I didn’t gasp or my heart rate was too jumpy or shallow.

At that moment, Keun Se-jin kneaded his limbs and started checking right away.

“I don’t think the complexion is too bad. You look a little pale, but your body temperature seems to be fine, right?”

“uh.”

The body temperature isn’t too noticeably low either. At least that’s how I feel.

The manager who was driving muttered frantically, as if he had heard us.

“Then it could be something like that Mijoo… Whatever it was, fainting.”

ah.

“Vagus syncope.”

“ah! yes that… .”

“… … .”

It is mostly caused by extreme stress or tension.

And the reason I know this… It is the same reason why the employees of this company know this.

“There are quite a few among idols. Because it’s the active period, the testers can be like that too. The company has just moved and the environment has changed… .”

“… … .”

okay. It is true that we are in a complicated situation in many ways.

but.

‘Cha Yoo-jin?’

The one who laughed alone when everyone else was dead in the negative vote of ‘Azusa’ and took care of his mentality even when he was criticized for rumors of violence on camera?

‘Such Cha Yoo-jin felt ‘extreme stress and tension’ to such an extent that he lost his mind… .’

No, is this the face of a fainting person in the first place?

‘Asleep… I guess.’

I looked back at the expressionless calm face of Cha Yu-jin, who was breathing lightly.

No matter how you think about it, it’s unnatural.

“… ! As soon as I arrived at the hospital… .”

“yes!”

The car, which ran like crazy, secretly arrived at the emergency room near the company shortly after, and Cha Yu-jin was immediately taken to the hospital.

Big Sejin murmured in a low voice as he chased them into the hospital with the employees who came out of the company vehicle that followed.

“Calling the other kids… Let’s do it in a little while.”

“… … .”

It means to do it after the test results come out.

“It might not be a big deal. No, I think so.”

“okay.”

However, I had no idea what the outcome would turn out to be.

Because Cha Yoo-jin collapsed without any warning.

But I still don’t know what’s strange!

‘… X feet.’

I stood up against the wall and began to mull over this f*cking unnatural situation.

But something more unnatural was waiting next.

* * *

“The results came out, but the state of temporary loss of consciousness… It sounds like it.”

“yes?”

“In this case, it is usually said that it is just stressful, but it is possible to check the brain more to be accurate, but… First of all, they said there was no other abnormality in the tests you did now.”

“… … .”

It was said in reverse, but in the end it meant the same thing.

Cause unknown at this time.

“Anyway, you said you’d be back in consciousness soon!”

“Whew.”

“Yes, thank you.”

Still, it was fortunate that things didn’t seem to be the worst.

So far, let’s say we’re going to do some more testing.

The problem was then.

“I guess I should contact the members now.”

“… okay.”

Me and Keun Se-jin were thinking of telling the members about Cha Yoo-jin’s current condition. Because it seemed like it would be better than hearing it from a company person.

But that’s what I learned along the way.

“… Did your brother do the same?”

Most of the other members I contacted had milder but similar symptoms.

-No, I didn’t completely collapse, but I suffered from dizziness… I stopped filming for a while. More than that, Cha Yoo-jin!?

-… … I thought I just fell asleep in the car, but maybe I wasn’t. Looking at it now, I’m sure I wasn’t sleepy.

-I thought it was a side effect of overdosing on caffeine drinks recently… . I don’t know. I am… I’m going to the hospital right away!

‘what’s this.’

I left a message so as not to disturb Seon Ah-hyun, who is still filming fishing on a boat, so I couldn’t confirm it, but there were already three of them.

I faced Sejin with a serious face.

“You”

“I was fine. What about you?”

“me too.”

But when it gets to this point, it becomes a different problem.

“They say it could be food poisoning or an infection-related problem, so let’s check it out.”

We had a comprehensive examination before the other members came.

“Brothers!”

“Rabin.”

And even Kim Rae-bin, who came running with an expression as if she was going to cry right away, was also tested.

But for all of us, the results were clean.

“… There is no need to call the members who are on schedule right away.”

“… … .”

There was nothing that leaked out to the media either.

That’s because Cha Yoo-jin didn’t have an accident or get sick in the first place.

Literally just suddenly ‘lost his mind’.

“… … .”

“That brother. this.”

I raised my head at the sound of the call.

Kim Rae-bin had a black envelope in his hand. The guy took out a drink from there and held it out.

It was a golden red ginseng drink commonly found in convenience stores.

“You might be thinking how hot a drink is in the summer, but since you’ve been sitting in an air-conditioned room for a long time, I thought this would be better… .”

“… thanks.”

I quietly opened the red ginseng honey tea he offered me and drank it.

Then, a strong voice was heard.

“Cha Yoo-jin will be fine. Previously, during my trainee days, I had a conversation about my family history, and I boasted about not having any diseases… .”

“… … .”

It seems to be trying to comfort me.

me really

I smiled faintly.

“okay. As I said before, the doctor also said that Cha Yu-jin would wake up soon. don’t worry too much He’s such a healthy guy.”

“… ! yes… … .”

Kim Rae-bin barely nodded, then quietly sat down next to him and began to sip his drink. I could see the big Sejin patting me on the back.

“… … .”

I leaned against the wall and thought.

okay. Cha Yoo-jin is a healthy guy.

He was considered to be in the top 1% in terms of both body and mind, but he suddenly collapsed without warning… .

‘And, of course, the majority of our group almost fainted at about the same time.’

But no one is saying there are no health problems. Even Cha Yu-jin is like that in the tests so far.

Then, among the remaining possibilities… What is the most suspicious?

‘It’s a supernatural intervention.’

I twisted my head into the air.

[updating ‘for company’]

“… … .”

If you think about it.

Didn’t this happen as soon as I absorbed the ‘Fragment of ■■■’ from Kwon Hee-seung?

And losing your mind like this… .

‘It seems to be similar to the symptoms that appear when I enter the virtual world created by the system.’

I still remember it well. The damn status window pop-up that popped up then.

-Enjoy your daydream ?

-Enjoy your reality ?

A world of daydreams and systems made with coins.

Of course, the upper part is closer to the chance that the big moon, which was the status window, made to save me… .

‘for a moment.’

I realized at that moment that I had found someone to ask about this situation.

‘The big moon.’

The person who created the daydream was the person in the status window.

and after a while

[Your brother! What’s going on?]

Fortunately, the answer came back in time.

‘after.’

[Ton hyung, are you in the hospital right now? Didn’t you

have any problems? ?

[Yeah?!]

I briefly explained what had happened.

Let’s skip the pop-up response, which was full of screams and worries, and get to the point… .

‘That’s why I wonder if Cha Yoo-jin’s consciousness is caught in the system.’

This is it.

I don’t know the principle, but the timing is so exquisite.

And a quick response came back from the pop-up that recognized the seriousness of the situation.

[Let’s check the status window right away!]

Yes.

I nodded eagerly.

But after a while.

[That brother. Right now, this status window and the system itself are not moving… .]

The guy brought unexpected news.

‘It doesn’t move?’

[yes! It seems to have stopped functioning at all… .]

[It says update now, right? And I think it’s because it’s rebuilding itself. It’s because it doesn’t work, as if we couldn’t use it after updating the app.]

“… … .”

So, does that mean that there is no possibility that Cha Yu-jin’s mind is lost somewhere due to the system’s operation?

Is it because the system stopped at all?

[Yes!]

And this guy added a hypothesis of his own.

[I’d rather have some kind of error in the update process if it’s really related.]

But that means, in other words, that Testa is affected by updating this ‘for the company’ thing.

In other words, it can sound like a very bad meaning.

‘… Are you treating Testa as part of the company’s system?’

[Rather than that… The only thing this system has dealt with so far is the testa album, so I wonder if they unilaterally gave it too much meaning… .]

“… … .”

no wonder… I’m feeling a bit bloated.

[Anyway, I didn’t find anything particularly strange, hyung!]

‘Yes.’

then… It’s really not a big deal, so I’m glad I did.

‘Thank you anyway. I’ll call you when you wake up.’

[yes! Don’t worry too

much ?

And I asked with a sigh.

Just in case the answer comes back.

‘How long will it take?’

Surprisingly, something popped up.

[※Use is restricted during update.]

‘X feet.’

It’s a story you know.

‘Are you just telling me to wait forever?’

I was thinking of pulling out this damn system as soon as the update was over, if it was really related to Cha Yu-jin’s stretch throughout the update.

“Guys. Chungwoo-hyung said he was coming right after his schedule was over and… .”

“… … Ugh”

Sejin’s words stopped.

And the sound that stopped him didn’t come from me or Rabin Kim.

It came out of a hospital bed.

“… !!”

“Cha Yujin… !”

We woke up right away.

“A company, not a doctor… !”

“wait!”

Big Sejin, who was standing near the door, quickly ran out to call someone. And Kim Rabin and I immediately went to bed.

there… .

Cha Yu-jin, frowning, twisted her body sideways.

will wake up

“Cha Yoo-jin!”

Cha Yoo-jin, who had been wriggling, mumbled while sweeping his face with his hands as if crushing them.

[Goddamn headache… .]

“… … .”

english?

“Are you very sick?”

At that moment, Cha Yu-jin stopped moving.

And when he lowered his hand, his raw eyes were revealed.

Their eyes met piercingly.

[korean? I don’t remember calling 911, but who the hell are you? Bring me here… .]

… what?

However, Cha Yoo-jin took care of herself and looked away and recognized someone else.

“Rabin?”

“Cha Cha Yoo-jin! Are you okay?”

However, the guy looked flustered this time as well.

“Why are you in America, Rabin Kim?”

“… … .”

“What are you talking about! This is Korea!”

“korea? [You think I’ve been kidnapped by some kind of international… .] … Wait, Raebin Kim, did someone give you brownies or something? A chocolate chip cookie?”

“What are you talking about?!”

Kim Rae-bin is in confusion!

And at that moment, Cha Yoo-jin muttered a few words of primary English swearing in her mouth and sighed.

And muttering to himself again.

“ah… it’s okay. [Once. It’s okay as long as you take medicine before going back to Korea. We’re not a KPOP boy band anymore anyway.]”

At this point, Kim Rae-bin was terrified.

He shouted as he grabbed my arm.

“Moondae hyung. Cha Yoo-jin is strange!”

I know.

“The strange one is Kim Raebin.”

However, Cha Yu-jin responded sternly, as if dealing with a person who had actually taken medicine.

Then he turned to me and shook the back of his head.

[Could you please… ‘Mundae hyung’? Why did you bring Kim Rae-bin and me to the hospital without knowing why?]

And Cha Yu-jin laughed.

“thank you.”

“… … .”

“Well, you won’t speak to Korea, will you? [Since the steer is over anyway.]”

At that moment, I recognized who ‘Cha Yu-jin’ was sitting here.

– Steer.

Steer, not Testa.

It was the name of the group that originally debuted in before I participated in as Mundae Park.

‘… X feet.’

And in the air next to the face of ‘Steer Cha Yoo-jin’, the pop-up was renewed.

[Updating ‘Company’]

– D-30 until completion
