Chapter 545
Debut or Die
Episode 545
JSAâs common space where cold air flows.
A cautious voice came from over the receiver.
[I⦠Who is that?]
Took.
Jaehyun Shin hung up the phone.
The name âSeon Ah-hyunâ floating on the screen soon disappeared.
A trembling voice asked from the side.
âmemory⦠Canât you?â
Cheong-ryeo did not answer.
However, the big moon who asked the question also knew that there was no need to answer.
Seon Ah-hyun does not know Park Moon-dae.
Despite Cheongryeo calling Park Moondaeâs smartphone.
â⦠⦠.â
When an unexpected situation occurred, Cheong-ryeoâs judgment, which immediately selected and called Seon Ah-hyun, was not wrong.
Because Iâve already seen Sun Ah-hyun cause an error in the systemâs virtual world.
âHe has the ability to nullify status ailments⦠.â
However, even Seon Ah-hyun does not remember Park Moon-dae.
âWhoa.â
Thanks to that, he called and brought in the person before Seon Ah-hyun. The big moon was on the verge of falling into a complete panic.
It had to be.
âThis is now⦠It makes no sense.â
The big moon jumped up and stretched out his hand.
âMoondae hyung is here right now⦠!â
At the end of that hand, I saw In-yeong lying on the sofa, unconscious.
It was Park Moon-dae.
He even looked peaceful without any trauma, but that was a sentiment that could only be felt when he was unaware of what was happening.
A few minutes ago, when the big moon arrived at JSA in a hurry.
â There he is.
-yes?
-Hey⦠.
Keundal grabbed the employee with a pale face and stretched out his hand to point to the sofa on which Moondae Park was lying.
â How does he look?
And the cleaning lady replied:
-Who are you talking about?
He did not recognize Park Moon-dae, who was clearly there.
â⦠⦠.â
It was an almost terrifying situation.
Only then did Keundal realize why Cheongryeo hadnât called 911.
If I call you, you wonât recognize it.
It was when the big moon swallowed saliva as he recalled it.
Tiririk.
â⦠!!â
Park Moon-daeâs smartphone in Cheong-ryeoâs hand vibrated vigorously.
It was a phone call.
Cheong-rye checked the screen once without expression and accepted it. A soft, urgent voice rang through the speakers.
[Sorry! The phone suddenly cut off.]
It was Seon Ah-hyunâs voice.
When the call ended without context, the polite man tried to contact him again.
And kindly asked again.
[Maybe I⦠Is the person you mentioned earlier related to me?]
Keundal let out an indescribable moan and slammed his head on the table.
Cheong-ryeo looked at him indifferently, then spoke in a dry voice.
ânow. Try accessing the portal site through the Internet.â
[â¦] ? yes yes⦠⦠.]
As if Seon Ah-hyun was manipulating a smartphone, the sound of her fingers hitting the screen echoed softly.
âSearch Park Moondae.â
[ah⦠.]
At that moment, Keundal, who raised his head, hurriedly searched for Park Moondae on the Internet.
â⦠there is!â
Park Moon-daeâs profile came out in good health.
All kinds of photos and histories of his career activities fill the page.
âthank god⦠.â
Park Moon-dae still remained here.
Keundal turned his head to Cheongnyeo, feeling at least a ray of relief.
[that⦠⦠.]
Sun Ah-hyun over the phone seemed to have checked the search results just in time.
[Who is this?]
â⦠⦠.â
A cool sensation passed through the large moonâs spine.
That cool voice instructed the smartphone.
âTell me the first profile you see on the screen.â
[I especially⦠I canât see the profile.]
â⦠⦠.â
The big moon stopped breathing.
And with trembling hands, this time, I hurriedly went to SNS and put in a search.
â
The results of Park Moon-dae were pouring out.
Just before Park Moon-dae retrieves the debris.
There was no mention of it after that.
â⦠Wait a minute.â
Keundal put in a search with Testa this time.
-Itâs amazing how Testa can tie two of the same age together haha
-Ryu Cheong-woo Bae Se-jin Sun Ah-hyun Lee Se-jin Cha Yu-jin Kim Rae-bin I love youã ã ã Letâs testa forever
.
Articles, SNS, communities, and video sites.
Everyone ignored the existence of Park Moon-dae as if it were salty.
Keundalâs face was pale and he put down his smartphone.
I felt like I was crazy
âThis is so strange⦠. It remains in the video and has all the official records! As if everyone was hypnotized⦠.â
If you still search, information about Park Moon-daeâs activities pops up, but everyone acts as if they canât see it.
The big moon went into a complete panic.
However, instead of giving her eyes there, Cheong-rye looked at Moondae Park on the sofa.
â⦠⦠.â
other way.
I had to remember.
[â¦] ⦠.]
[If I look at something now⦠.]
âItâs okay.â
Cheong-Ri hung up the phone again.
And he opened his mouth in a dry voice.
âWhy didnât you stop?â
â⦠yes?â
Big Moon realized that he had spoken to him.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âI didnât stop you.â
âYou were obviously wary of your junior using the system. Very⦠.â
Cheongryeo looked at the big moon without expression.
âYou seem cooperative and passive.â
â⦠!â
The big moon was hot in an instant.
âIf you think about it that way, my older brother was trying to help you in the first place! My older brother prepared it from a long time ago. So regularly⦠⦠.â
The big moonâs words gradually faded away. Cheongryeo asked coldly.
âThe system?â
And the big moon realized.
âI changed my body after using the system⦠.â
The more I thought about it, the more strange it was.
Park Moon-dae, who loves control so much, is so easily able to use the method of changing his body into an unreliable system.
Is that a conclusion that can be drawn immediately after thinking about it briefly?
âtongue⦠Hyung was originally very wary of the system, but at some point he started using it. Slowly and less vigilantly⦠.â
â⦠⦠.â
And so was he.
himself⦠I didnât stop him from that moment on!
-all right. brother! Instead, if itâs strange, I have to come out right away⦠.
A flashback echoed in my head.
â⦠⦠.â
The big moonâs complexion turned blue.
âWhere did the influence come from?â
It almost felt like a horror movie.
And when I turned my head, I saw Moondae Park, who was still standing on the sofa.
âMoondae hyung⦠What the hell are you going through?â
* * *
I declared.
[I want to drink beer.]
âSo.â
[Donât you want to drink?]
The invitation to restart didnât even respond. I mean donât be silly.
âI knew that.â
I stretched out my empty body and spread out as if lying on a bed.
This was a hotel in LA. VTIC is here for a tour rehearsal, so how can you suddenly pour alcohol into your mouth right now?
It was pretty good that I could have a comfortable conversation because it was a private room.
[Itâs a joke. I had a hard time practicing.]
âMy practice has nothing to do with you.â
I love you baby
Since I have nothing to do, shouldnât I have a small talk with a guy like you?
Of course, there was nothing that could be done while parasitic to the system, except to create a terminal for communication under tremendous pressure.
âIt feels like working overtime endlessly.â
Itâs new, but I want the big moon to survive through my status window. I typed with a sigh.
[Why are you not related? The better you practice, the higher the chance of not restarting.]
After hesitating for a while, he just smiled and added the following words.
[And even if it has nothing to do with you, people are the ones who want to say something when they see someone doing well.]
[So your fans can support you too.]
â⦠⦠.â
[Have a good concert.]
âYes.â
Cheong-Ryeo answered surprisingly meekly.
âhmm.â
It seems Iâve gotten quite used to it.
I (ideally) crossed my arms.
Itâs been weeks since Iâve been talking to this guy.
As if chatting for a while was worthwhile, this guy is now less inclined to create tension all the time.
In addition, thanks to the newly collected information through the status window, the restart was temporarily suspended.
Of course, the conversation without sociality often made people angry, but it still means that it becomes a tug-of-war to some extent.
Itâs because this guy realized my usefulness.
Like this.
âTo my profile.â
OK.
I opened the guyâs status window.
[Name: Cheongryeo (Shin Jaehyun)]
Singing: B+ (B+)
Dance: S+ (S+)
Appearance: A+ (S-)
Talent: A (A+)
Trait : Emotion (S)
!
It was so similar to the real Cheongryeo that it gave goosebumps.
It seems that this is the line that he completes by creating a perfect routine for a set period of time for the âfinal contentâ.
[Are you going to fill up the remaining stats with practice?]
âThatâs not urgent.â
Cheong-rye answered clearly.
âFor individuals in a group, positioning comes first. I just need my skills to be good enough for the role.â
It means that you already have the capacity to overflow as a main dancer. Got it.
Iâm the one who put all the stats into vocals only to get positioning as soon as a status abnormality got stuck in my head in the first place.
However, Cheong Ryeoâs words did not end there.
âThe characteristics are more important than that.â
The guy shifted his gaze to see his own characteristics.
emotion.
Surprisingly, this guy seemed very happy with his personality.
It is an S-class characteristic that can judge the value of an individual like a knife.
The boy smiled faintly and spoke.
âLike I said. Because the combination is important.â
OK.
Creating an idol group congratulations on having the most advantageous characteristics.
Still, out of courtesy, I decided to try my prepared suggestion.
[Donât you want to have a different characteristic?]
Recently, I created another terminal in this system and built up a new function for the status window.
A special reward given to me by the Big Moon before.
It is a roulette machine that draws characteristics.
But as expected⦠.
âI should have said this enough. Except when I ask questions myself⦠.â
[I do not recommend it. Do whatever you want.]
I thought you wouldnât listen.
âyes.â
Cheong-Ryeo looked at my pop-up and replied with a gleeful smile.
It was a little bit different than before. I felt like I felt a slight jolt of joy in my reaction.
Are you having fun?
âAre the results that I spent talking nonsense so far appearing?â
Of course, there is no sense of accomplishment. I held back a sigh.
âI want to know why I have to do this in this state.â
It was frustrating to be stuck here without any hints.
Iâd rather have noticed if it was a condition that happened to me.
â⦠Iâll have to dig into the system more.â
I thought of going deeper into the system where I hadnât yet created a terminal. In the meantime, I refrained from fearing that I would be thrown back because the backlash was so severe, but I couldnât do it anymore.
It was then.
âI have a question.â
hmm?
While hesitating, Cheongryeo asked.
âWho were you?â
oh.
Finally, this question comes up.
With a bit of familiarity at the bottom, I guess I was finally in the mood to interrogate.
I went back to the terminal and hit the batter.
[What does it mean?]
âIt means what missions have you solved.â
Cheong-ryo put on her pods as she was sitting at the table.
âFirst of all, since you brought up a story like beer, it must not be the same job.â
[â¦] ⦠.]
I stopped drinking, bastard.
I stopped after imagining the sight of them confessing in detail that I was also an idol. Iâm sorry.
[I didnât drink often.]
[It wasnât a very good job to drink and talk nonsense.]
âHaha.â
Cheong-Ryeo laughed a little comfortably and muttered as she leaned back in her chair.
âTalk.â
The conversation stopped for a moment as if lost in thought.
And Cheong-ryeo recited with thoughts, not with sounds.
âWell, Iâve done that before.â
â⦠⦠.â
I didnât bother to ask.
It was because he had already heard the results of the attempt from the real Cheongryeo.
It wasnât that specific, though.
âone⦠Was it a member you wrote about ten times? I kept my composure well in the event of an accident, so I said it as a test.â
The boy grinned.
âIt wasnât a happy ending. Of course, since I said it right before the restart, there was no loss.â
[â¦] ⦠.]
âIs this an example of not being nice to talk about? haha.â
hmm.
this⦠okay.
After thinking for a moment, I slowly completed my answer.
[I donât know.]
[You must have recruited at least dozens of people in the group so far, besides him?]
Cheong-rye didnât deny it.
I continued to finish my words.
[What you said is just one case out of dozens. Isnât the probability that different results will come out in other trials is quite high?]
â⦠⦠.â
Cheong-rye was not surprised or impressed.
âI guess so.â
It seems that such calculations have already been made.
âHowever, sharing secrets in itself has little benefit versus risk.â
The boy grinned.
âAnd having a secret or not has nothing to do with using people.â
[No, itâs not that thereâs no effect at all. It will be convenient to have a collaborator.]
Cheong-Ryeo replied indifferently.
âAmazing. I would have thought that stereotypes created by the mass media would exist in Help.â
I sighed.
[No, your mind will be at ease.]
But the opponent didnât blink an eye.
âwell. I am still not uncomfortable.â
Itâs like talking to a wall.
But instead of grinding the keyboard, I calmly typed again.
[Yes.]
[I know that itâs dangerous and Iâm not very reluctant to do it. itâs your heart Itâs also true.]
[But itâs not bad to think about it again after work is over.]
[Thereâs nothing to lose then, right?]
Actually, the guy in real life has already told the members of the same group about his experience to some extent. was
The two guys who are here now were also included.
Now this guy doesnât even know.
â⦠⦠.â
The guy seemed to have thought of something like âIâm saying that itâs not nutritiousâ, but in the end he answered like this.
âRemember.â
OK.
Still, a few weeks ago I would have said bullshit like, âI never said you had a sayâ, but now weâve had quite a conversation. I laughed and removed my hand from the terminal.
[Then, have a good trip.]
After a while, Cheongryeo successfully finished rehearsal for the concert tour with the other members of VTIC.
But still, not a single system window popped up for me, and no hints such as missions or status abnormalities popped up.
Iâd be lying if I said I wasnât worried about whether Iâd be stuck here forever⦠In any case, time itself passed without a hitch.
And VTICâs tour began.
âFrom now on, âconversationâ will only be possible after the concert.â
[â¦] ⦠.]
âRemember.â
I canât⦠Do you really have to stay here like this?
Until that dog is born?
* * *
âHaam.â
Lee Se-jin passed Cha Yoo-jin, who was yawning profusely, at a pleasant pace and headed to the kitchen.
The mild holiday afternoon was a bit drowsy.
Even Lee Se-jin leisurely thought that today it would be better to study Spanish rather than exercise.
By inviting a friend!
âThen together⦠.â
â⦠⦠.â
Come to think of it, isnât there really no one in this team to study Spanish with?
Most of them had a special language or were more interested in other things than languages.
âMmm.â
Strangely, he felt a slight drop in his mood.
But he had been in the industry too long to be swayed by that feeling, so he soon regained his jolly demeanor and walked back to the kitchen.
Then he found a friend of the same age sitting at the table with a strangely hard face.
âAhyeonahyeon~ What are you doing!â
â⦠ah.â
Seon Ah-hyun suddenly raised her head.
Big Sejin caught again that the complexion was not very good.
â⦠hmm. What can I help you with? Did something bad happen?â
âOh no.â
It was only then that Seon Ah-hyun lowered the search bar on the portal site that was still floating.
â Park Moon-dae
âSomehow itâs strange.â
