Debut or Die

Chapter 275

If I Can’t Debut, I’ll Get a Deathly Disease Episode 275

In the hallway of a broadcasting station, I didn’t even appear on the same program, but I dared to run into an Azusa contestant?

It was obvious.

‘It’s on purpose.’

The staff led them here to draw pictures for the broadcast.

If it was < Idol Inc. >, it was enough. You can make up for Testa not appearing with this trick.

And when we say hello here, he firmly refuses not to take a picture, and his appearance becomes ridiculous.

It’s just that they’re filming a video of ?Music Night?, but doesn’t it seem unusual to ask for a mosaic of us who happened to run into each other?

Ultimately, the problem with this situation is this.

‘camera.’

The camera was all over the place.

Seon Ah-hyeon met Chae Seo-dam on the condition of broadcasting.

‘Damn it.’

I winked at the other guys. Knowingly, sociable guys come out and greet you first.

“Oh~ hello!”

“I cheer for you. go for it!”

That’s enough.

There are 7 people, and Sun Ah-hyun could just nod.

I bowed and greeted the participants, conscious of two or three cameras turning toward us.

I was thinking of ending it like this.

But I guess they didn’t think so.

“I’m a real fan of Testa senior!”

“oh my god… … . Wow.”

“Senior, I’m really really sorry, but can I get your autograph… … ?”

Perhaps because of the value of the name Testa, about half of the participants sneaked up on her.

I don’t think I’ve received a word from the production team in particular.

And the camera advances accordingly.

“… … .”

it will be long Not good.

I checked Seon Ah-hyun’s face.

Fortunately, the agitation was not revealed. It’s a smile that isn’t as big as usual, but it looks a bit stiff, but it’s not noticeable.

Perhaps it is because of the fact that no special contingency occurred.

Chae Seo-dam, who is on the other side, doesn’t even bother to say anything, because he’s quietly moving behind him, buried in the flow.

‘… … As expected, my head is spinning.’

They seem to know that showing off their friendship by pretending to know Seon Ah-hyun here has no benefit and only increases the risk.

‘I didn’t say a word about Seon Ah-hyun even while appearing in < Azusa >.’

This is enough to not stimulate Seon Ah-hyun, and he must have thought that he would keep his mouth shut anyway.

However, that is the judgment of that person alone.

The producers will be different.

“Come to think of it, aren’t you two from the same school?”

Now that this is the case, I thought the broadcasting station guys wouldn’t miss this prey.

Friendship with famous idols is always a drawing that draws a lot of attention.

“ah.”

Chae Seo-dam, like a brainy guy, jumped first and gave a calm and appropriate answer.

“yes. Sometimes a greeting… … . Long time no see, senior!”

The back is a bit shy, as if talking to a ‘someone I know quite well’.

‘This bastard is quite repulsive.’

Did you guess that if Seon Ah-hyun hardened her face here, she would go to the ‘People changed because she rose’ frame?

That’s why it seems like I’m trying to leave a video that proves that I’ve met Sun Ah-hyun with a smile and ‘we’ve known each other’.

Unfortunately, the industry doesn’t run that fair.

I looked at him carefully.

‘If it’s necessary, I can delete the data by making a deal with the production team.’

Because Testa is not an Azusa contestant, but an idol who has already signed a contract with the company. That too, under the umbrella of T1.

If it doesn’t work out, it’s rather possible to get rid of it even if you openly say that you can’t use this picture at all on the air.

-hey. I want you to give me back what I stole from him. It’s not just one or two.

Like this. Rumors are good, but that’s about it.

It’s better to be on this side than to see this bastard benefit and Seon Ah-hyun go through a mental breakdown.

‘Should I throw it?’

It was a moment of contemplation.

“… … yes. hello.”

“… … !”

Seon Ah-hyun calmly responded.

A feeling of victory quickly crossed Chae Seo-dam’s face.

And the production team quickly intervened and took care of the new broadcast.

“Can I ask for a word of encouragement?”

“ah … … that.”

Seon Ah-hyun seemed to be taking a deep breath. Chae Seo-dam smiled and waited for the situation.

“that… … .”

“for a moment.”

I heard the small whisper of Ryu Cheng-wu, who caught Bae Se-jin from behind.

And Seon Ah-hyeon said while looking at Chae Seo-dam slowly without any interruption.

“No matter what you do, believe in yourself more… … . I hope you do.”

Sun Ah-hyun smiled faintly.

“So far… … Because it comes, I think that’s the most important thing. Instead of caring about others, focus on yourself… … You trust me.”

“… … .”

A wave of agitation passed across Chae Seo-dam’s face.

Seon Ah-hyun took a step forward. And he met Chae Seo-dam’s eyes openly.

“we… … I wasn’t that friendly. I hope you will go through the remaining time with a good heart.”

“… … .”

“I will pray for that.”

It was a virtue.

However, depending on the interpretation, it was a word that could sound meaningful.

And it must have sounded different to the person involved.

Um, it feels like this.

– Take care of yourself and live kindly when you have time to work on others because of your inferiority complex.

‘It’s hard.’

I saw a look of bewilderment and tension in his eyes. It was quite pleasant.

Seon Ah-hyun looked around and shouted a little embarrassed.

“The others too. go for it… … !”

“yes! go for it!”

Seeing the other participants copying her words, Seon Ah-hyun raised her hand and made a fighting gesture.

It looked comfortable.

Chae Seo-dam seemed to be laughing along, but he didn’t look very comfortable.

Still, I obligely hold out my hand.

“… … Thank you for your kind words.”

“Yes.”

Seon Ah-hyun shook hands. And waved casually.

“Ah, shall we leave a message too? It was fate that we met like this~”

“We are so thankful!”

As soon as there was a gap, Sejin, who quickly intervened, turned the tide.

And with the enthusiastic support of the participants and the production team, a short cheering filming took place.

Taking advantage of that gap, Seon Ah-hyun fell back.

“are you okay?”

“… … huh.”

Seon Ah-hyun answered quietly and calmly. It was a voice that sounded relieved somewhere.

“The manager said we really had to move.”

“Nenep, thank you.”

“Ay what? Then we’ll see you on stage next time~”

The other members resumed their movement only after taking short words of support for the contestants.

And the moment they parted in the hallway, I saw Chae Seo-dam turn his head.

“… … !”

Perhaps he was trying to glare at me, but when our eyes met, he flinched.

‘The shock must have been great.’

1st place in the current season, he must have been confident that this was a weight class he could compete against.

Originally, when I participated, the program was all the same.

‘Does he have a sense of superiority because his grades in the program are better than Seon Ah-hyun?’

That’s why I thought Seon Ah-hyun would be pushed back again, but I’d go crazy thinking that she was being threatened.

I laughed at the guy.

And he said it with his mouth.

‘Lucky bastard.’

“… … !”

There’s no need to make enemies, but seeing him do it, I think it’s more emotional than I thought, so I won’t be able to go far.

It’s nice not to be burdened.

I rubbed the back of my neck and turned my head. I wondered how long that bastard could endure in front of the camera.

Not long after, Testa walked through the corridors and arrived at the waiting room.

“I’ll check on my lunch soon.”

“Okay, Manager~”

Clicked.

After the door was closed and only the members remained.

“after… … !”

Seon Ah-hyun let out a breath and sat down on the sofa.

Then, cool reactions poured in.

“Hey Ahyeon~”

“WOW!!”

“You did well to stay calm.”

Seon Ah-hyun seemed embarrassed, but she has a good face, probably proud inside.

Even Bae Se-jin said with an excited face.

“… … You did a good job with him.”

“yes? I didn’t mean to say that… … . Did that sound like that?”

Seon Ah-hyun lowered her head as her face flushed as if it were about to explode. Bae Se-jin was a little taken aback.

“What is it?”

“yes… … ! Just my honest thoughts… … . Still I… … I didn’t know you would say that yourself… … .”

Seon Ah-hyun let out a small sigh with a relaxed face.

“… … cool. I thought it would be scary.”

I asked.

“How was it?”

“Than you think… … It was fine. huh.”

Seon Ah-hyun held her hands together and murmured softly.

“When I met him in real life, I thought that it was really nothing… … Definitely listen.”

“… … .”

Contrary to my concerns, this meeting seems to have awakened Sun Ah-hyun.

I experienced firsthand that it was no longer difficult.

“I am… … It was fine.”

Seon Ah-hyun finished speaking as if he were sure.

“… … okay.”

“That’s it!”

Big Sejin tapped him on the shoulder. The other members also surround Sun Ah-hyun with happy faces.

At that time, Liu Cheng-wu spoke with a smile.

“Come to think of it, didn’t Ahyeon speak comfortably and barely stutter?”

“… … !”

“I know!”

Did the trauma go away help?

Seon Ah-hyun became a flower color.

“Is it true? It seems that… … Alas.”

… … As soon as I thought, I groped for it again.

Then, the members who were looking at each other started shouting in a hurry.

“No, how is it, Ahyeon-ah~ You can stutter while talking comfortably!”

“It’s between us, so let’s just relax.”

“You are right. Cha Yoo-jin just picks out the vocabulary roughly and lives by speaking well.”

“I speak very well!”

“Yes, yes.”

Although the point was strangely blurred in the middle, Seon Ah-hyun bowed her head, as if her intention was conveyed well.

“… … yes.”

The voice sounded a bit hoarse. But right after that, he raised his head and said with determination.

“still… … practice more! I’ll make sure you can speak better when it’s comfortable!”

“okay. I will support that.”

The atmosphere in the waiting room has improved to the point where it can’t be so warm.

‘That’s good.’

I patted Seon Ah-hyun on the back. He was definitely a special guy.

“Thank you so much… … !”

Seon Ah-hyun smiled with a more comfortable face.

* * *

The interesting thing is that after that, Sun Ah-hyun really became more comfortable speaking without stuttering in public.

It seems that the relief of pressure and tension helped.

“Mr. Seo also said that he would improve in a cascading fashion, but I feel like I’ve gone up a notch… … !”

“Yes, congratulations.”

And this week, < Azusa > was watched by everyone, including Seon Ah-hyun, who was active. It was the ranking announcement ceremony.

[No. 1 is… … Chae Seo-dam!]

“Huh.”

Surprised. I thought so.

I looked at the screen with a sad face.

If the momentum had increased thanks to the amount of ‘Chae Seo-dam suffering because of a team member’ in the last episode, it would have stuck but not fallen.

[Chae Seo-dam: Really… … thank you. I will work harder… … !]

But the atmosphere in the living room wasn’t that bad.

“Do you want something to eat?”

“okay.”

“Thank you Ah-hyun~”

Seon Ah-hyun’s face was clear as she handed out dried apple chips to the members.

It probably wouldn’t matter too much if Chae Seo-dam succeeded as an idol by winning first place.

‘Well, it’s a good thing.’

I shrugged.

I don’t feel bad for going on like this.

And it was that night that the pre-laid baits brought the fish.

– Hello senior!

I mean in advance.

I entered the room and quickly brought the story to the point.

“hello. Did you call me about something I told you about last time?”

-yep! that… … I participated in this team fight shoot today and went home now!

Since the ranking announcement is coming out right now, it seemed like a few days would be the shooting period.

And the phone call… … It must mean that there is something on your mind.

That’s something to the point of calling without hesitation on the same day.

“Have you seen anything?”

Second place over the phone… … So Park Min-ha took a breath.

-this… … after. That’s it.

“yes. Please speak.”

-That’s the one we talked about last time. I think he naturally tried to find out our number.

“… … !”

I heard the sound of a jackpot popping.
