Debut or Die

Chapter 253

If You Can’t Debut, You’ll Get a Deadly Disease Episode 253

On the first night of the holiday season, Park Moon-dae arrives at the front door without warning at 9:00 pm.

It was a situation that Liu Cheng-wu had never imagined.

‘I posted it in a group room saying it’s okay to come over, but… .’

It’s just a joke saying that the food is delicious.

However, the sudden appearance of a person who had firmly rejected his proposal to spend the holiday together without contacting him in advance… It was very bizarre.

‘Is that also the Bakmundae?’

Isn’t he a cool-headed, good situational judgement, and a bright younger brother?

But right now, Park Moon-dae, standing outside in the dark… .

“brother.”

“… … Oh sorry. okay.”

Liu Cheng-wu paused for a moment, then moved his feet and moved out of the way to allow Park Mun-dae to enter the house.

In any case, I couldn’t let her stand outside tonight.

However, a feeling of unexplained tension made my body tense.

‘what?’

A calm voice was heard.

“I want to wash my hands.”

“… It’s over there.”

Ryu Cheong-wu thought while pointing out the bathroom. I think we should have a calmer conversation when Park Moon-dae comes back from washing up.

‘Let’s tell the parents in advance.’

By now, you must have guessed from the voices that the visitor was your acquaintance.

And Ryu Cheng-wu tried to close the door, but… .

I faced the embarrassed face of Bae Se-jin, who was following behind Park Moon-dae.

“… ??”

why are you out there

“Uh hello.”

“That’s right. hi.”

Bae Se-jin quietly lifted the fruit.

“this… It’s an apple.”

“Ah thank you.”

Liu Chengyu hurriedly accepted the fruit. The strange tension was gone.

‘hmm.’

he then asked

“It’s nice to come to play. But the two… what brings you here?”

“… I just followed Park Moondae.”

Bae Se-jin glanced toward the bathroom where Park Moon-dae entered.

“I’m going to your house, but… What is it? curious.”

‘It felt strange, so I followed you.’

Ryu Cheong-wu asked while reading Bae Se-jin’s worries.

“Have you heard why you’re coming?”

“doesn’t exist. Um but… .”

Bae Se-jin whispered to Ryu Cheng-wu.

“I think I remembered something.”

“… !”

“You suddenly remembered that every time you fell asleep. until now.”

Liu Cheng-wu immediately remembered what had happened in the United States last summer.

– When a person faces fear and pain… I get a little angry and blame others, but that’s okay.

That’s what he said to Park Moon-dae, who finally confessed his true feelings after drinking.

Afterwards, while noticing the symptoms of alcoholism in Park Moon-dae, deep down, Ryu Cheong-woo regretted the approach at that time.

‘Couldn’t there be another way?’

Anyway, it was a shocking experience separately.

Wouldn’t anyone have felt the same if my younger brother, who was calm and smart, suddenly couldn’t control his resistance to me and experienced pain.

It was even more so if the previous memory was blurry and then the memory flashed back and I knew it was like that.

‘Similar… Is it a feeling?’

Ryu Cheong-woo felt a sense of déjà vu from the strange tension he felt from Moon-dae Park, whom he had seen earlier.

So I prepared my mind, but changed my mind when I saw Park Moon-dae coming out of the bathroom.

“Brother, I have a question for you.”

Park Mun-dae’s face showed no reluctance towards Ryu Cheong-wu.

just… The color of the eyes turned upside down seemed like the right expression.

‘this.’

Ryu Cheong-woo quickly exchanged glances with Bae Se-jin.

“Well, once… Should I say hello to my parents and talk to them?”

“yes.”

Bae Se-jin hurriedly washed his hands and came out and joined Moon-dae Park. And Ryu Cheng-wu introduced the two to his parents.

I felt like I was breaking out in a cold sweat.

“here… These are younger siblings, and they came to play with fruit for a while.”

“oh!”

“Welcome~”

My parents seemed a bit surprised, but they welcomed them nicely anyway.

“hello.”

“… hello!”

The two greeted politely, but Ryu Cheong-wu checked Moon-dae Park’s eyes just in case.

And I found Park Moon-dae, who had sad eyes.

‘why… Like that?’

It was because it was not a target.

Ryu Cheong-woo became more confused, but anyway, he sat Park Moon-dae and Bae Se-jin in the living room.

Kamgi jumped up and sat on Park Mun-dae’s lap, and Park Mun-dae skillfully scratched the black puppy’s ears and said.

“brother.”

“That’s right.”

Park Moon-dae’s eyes shone brightly again.

“I thought you would reward me for my hard work.”

“… It did.”

that… It seems that it was not a choice of words, but Ryu Cheng-wu answered honestly anyway. Beside him, Sejin Bae is shaking his pupils.

“I have a request for you to listen to.”

Park Moon-dae spoke quickly without much expression.

“Hyung, I want to see some pictures of you when you were young.”

“… ??”

Words came out that I hadn’t thought of.

“No, preferably with a video. Are there any records that contain the time of a happy extended family?”

Liu Cheng-wu asked an obvious question.

“Why?”

“Just.”

It was an invincible answer.

Bae Se-jin shouted in the form of a mouth from behind.

‘Remember when you were young!’

“… !”

okay. It may be that you catch clues related to your memories when you were young and want to be stimulated by watching similar scenes.

‘Am I closest to Sejin’s family?’

Liu Qingyu thought vaguely and smiled for a moment. It was a smile of relief that he had guessed the situation.

“Okay then, shall we bring something out?”

“yes. please.”

Ryu Cheng-wu quickly went to the living room and took out the album and video.

And what I saw on the way back was Park Moon-dae, who was mechanically stroking Kkam-i, and Bae Se-jin, who was nervous.

“… … .”

Ryu Cheng-wu pondered for a moment, but decided to take into account that although Mun-dae Park may have lost his senses, he is not as shocked as he was last time.

“Do you want to see the album first?”

“I want you to watch the video together while looking at the album. And if possible, I would like to see my older brother in the lower grades of elementary school, would that be okay?”

Seeing that the demands were specific and the age range was accurate, Ryu also thought that Bae Se-jin’s guess might be correct.

“Haha yes.”

Liu Chengwu relaxed a bit and played the video. A picture of him as a child came out on TV.

[Cheongwoo~ Wave your hand here!]

A young self with an embarrassed face filled the screen. At the same time, Liu Qingyu himself was a little embarrassed.

It was probably Chuseok at this time too, and I remembered that all my relatives rented a car and went to play together.

“… What grade are you in? He is tall.”

“Probably in the second grade.”

A weak sense of defeat appeared on Bae Se-jin’s expression, but Ryu Chung-woo did not notice it.

It was because Park Mun-dae was scratching the dog’s chin next to him.

“also.”

“… ?”

Anyway, the three of us sat there and talked about various things while watching albums and videos.

My parents looked up and down the hallway and threw happy glances at me, but they also seemed a little burdened. “Why do you have to show me?”

Perhaps it is because after he retired due to an injury, he suffered from all sorts of media and became defensive towards others.

Ryu Cheng-wu smiled bitterly at the faint feeling of guilt.

‘Still, I have to say that Mundae saved my life.’

If Park Moon-dae comes on holiday, I was originally going to say it.

Ryu Cheng-wu thought so and continued to watch the video. The atmosphere wasn’t bad.

[Wow!]

The home video was replaced again.

Sejin Bae sees the puppy on his lap and is at a loss for what to do.

‘It wasn’t a big deal.’

Would you like to sit down like this and talk for a while before going back?

Late night snacks are not good for the body, but since it is a holiday, Ryu thought that he should eat something healthy.

It was then.

Moondae Park stood up in the seat next to him.

“… !!”

“for a moment.”

Moondae Park picked up the remote control and stopped the video.

And walked towards the TV screen.

with a confident face.

* * *

‘It’s me.’

I knew it as soon as I saw it.

On the screen, that guy with a sad face sitting on the corner of the pension sofa holding a book… It was Ryu Gun-woo.

“… … .”

Somehow, the tension is alleviated.

It feels like blood rushing to your head. It was cool.

‘It was here too.’

This video is still in its infancy. I don’t know if my parents can see it if I turn it a little more… let’s be patient

I picked up my smartphone and took that cut.

click.

At that point, Bae Se-jin asked with a puzzled face.

“that… Anyone know?”

“… … .”

right.

I was in a hurry right now, so I forgot my excuse.

‘Is my brain rotten?’

I clicked my tongue and replied.

“I know someone, but I’ve been indebted to him.”

“ah… .”

Excuses become more like excuses the longer they drag on. As I answered quickly, I remembered the scene where I bought food from ‘Park Moon-dae’, so this word came out naturally.

Bae Se-jin was pleased.

“Then did you remember this person?”

“yes? … yes.”

You know how to create a story. thanks.

I added some clue tracking and flesh.

“My name is Gun-Woo Ryu, so I was wondering if he was related to Hyung-Woo Chung. There aren’t many Ryu.”

“I see. … hmm. Looking at it this way, it seems that they look a little alike.”

is it?

In any case, Liu Cheng-wu nodded his head politely, as if the flimsy excuse of having similar names worked well thanks to his appearance.

and spoke kindly.

“Should I ask my parents? Are you a relative you know?”

“… Thank you.”

To be honest, I don’t think I’ll know since I’ve seen his face at least once every few years because he’s such a distant relative, but it wouldn’t be bad to try.

‘I said this, but if I said that I was already in the afterlife due to an accident in middle school… .’

I was a little dizzy at what misunderstanding I might be getting, but I decided to push on. There’s nothing special about this.

And the expected answer came from the parents.

It means ‘I don’t remember’.

“Um… … .”

It’s embarrassing for me, but these two guys are worried.

However, because amnesia has an outstanding impact.

Even such a proposal came out.

“You can ask at door. I think I can find it because I know your age and name.”

“… ! then… Thank you.”

“Thank you for this.”

Liu Cheng-wu smiled and called, and soon after a few words of conversation, he gave me quite positive news.

“He said he’d find out quickly and tell me.”

“It’s a holiday, so thank you.”

“Haha, I’ll tell you that too.”

That’s how ‘Ryu Gun-woo’s Trace’ ended quite successfully.

And the only conversation topic left was the puppy.

Bae Se-jin asked quietly.

“… Is that the end?”

“Yes.”

Bae Se-jin must be worried that her mother is at home alone.

It’s just amazing that they followed me even though I didn’t ask for it. Of course, I didn’t even pay attention to whether he came or not.

“Don’t worry, I’ll tell you over the phone.”

Ryu Cheng-wu also euphemistically expressed his intention, saying, “You can go back.”

So, after saying hello to Ryu Cheong-woo’s parents once more, we went back to Bae Se-jin’s house.

Of course, I didn’t forget to say hello.

“Thank you for the fruit.”

“I bought it because I was living there… !”

It sounds like you’re pretty proud to say that.

Anyway, since I received help so that I don’t get taken as a person who has no case while being hectic, I’m thinking of making some holiday food tomorrow.

“after.”

So I changed back into my pajamas and lay down on the bed.

However, I couldn’t sleep well because of the sight I saw in ‘Truth Check’.

“… … .”

Let’s hit the X. Anyway, I don’t remember anything like that, so what am I thinking about right now? There’s no answer.

I brushed off my thoughts and called someone to replace me.

“Status window.”

Well, it seems that there is still such a thing as ‘settlement in progress’, but… .

Pupper bubbung!

“… !!”

Suddenly, pollen burst in front of my eyes.

Pollen made of holograms came out of the pop-up and scattered beautifully on the bed.

And the status window ecstatically flashed with a rainbow of light.

[Great success!]

User: Park Moon-dae (Ryu Gun-woo) succeeded in removing all status abnormalities!

Reward: Permanent Status Window Title

[Create title!]

: Successful person (idol)

I hope you have a sweet life.

“… … .”

what?
