Debut or Die

Chapter 294

If you can’t debut, you’ll get a fatal disease Episode 294

This is where it was important.

‘They rushed in.’

I took my smartphone out of my pocket and placed it in plain sight on my desk.

And just like this bastard did to me last time, I played the recording.

-Are you aiming for the target?

-All singers are like that.

A sound source with a much clearer sound quality than what Chae Seo-dam recorded.

it was recorded by me

“You’re not the only one who can record.”

I stopped playing and laughed.

“You didn’t think I would ask you not to reveal that I spoke casually with you while swearing.”

“… … .”

“It’s enough to go out on a variety show right away and solve it as evidence of close friendship with that senior.”

Chae Seo-dam seemed to be trying to understand what the hell was going on.

It doesn’t help much in the situation, but I reflexively look for words to refute because I want to deny reality.

‘Should I wait for you?’

After a few more seconds, he hurriedly opened his mouth.

“A new song is out! They say it was all planned… .”

Oh that.

“well. did i do that I didn’t want to talk too long, so I just skipped it… Isn’t it all up to the circumstances?”

I operated my smartphone again without a long word.

Enter your address book and make a call.

[VTIC Cheong Ryeo senior]

The melody of the acoustic version of VTIC’s new song went to the sound of a phone call for a while… cut off

Click.

-Hello junior.

“Hello, senior. Speaking of what we talked about in the waiting room last time, would it be okay if I gave it as a sauce for entertainment?”

It was a bit annoying to hear laughter over the phone, but Cheong-Ryeo answered as scheduled anyway.

-sure. I do. It was me who told you to let go.

“thank you.”

-What.

I hung up.

“They say so.”

“… … .”

Now, both of your joys and sorrows as weaknesses have been blown away.

The idiot in front of me had somehow calmed down where the momentum that had been grinning and rushing at me earlier had gone.

‘Even upturned eyes don’t last long.’

The desire to see oneself is a really strong guy.

I knew it was time to take the pressure up a notch.

So the conversation quickly changed.

“So this seems to have answered your question… Next is the school violence report that I originally wanted to talk about.”

Now that I’ve covered my weakness, let’s talk about yours this time.

I said casually.

“Isn’t it neat to just have the victim interview the reporter?”

“… !!”

“Anyway, doing this officially would be a good message socially, and since there is enough evidence, I think everyone will believe it.”

evidence.

I’ll bet on recording that the conversation I had with Seon Ah-hyun is now floating in this bastard’s head.

I finished talking.

“I thought it would fall apart if we added the situation that he was still recording and trying to catch other people’s weaknesses. I’m going to try to proceed right away. end.”

I picked up my smartphone and tidied up my seat. It is a gesture that says that everything has to be said.

“… that!”

Chae Seo-dam woke up in surprise as if he had been bombed.

“Wait a minute. This… why why this?”

So why are you asking a guy like you that he’s talking about stuff like this? Thank you.

I answered with a faint smile.

“Give up.”

“… … .”

“Since it was talked about just solving everything, I thought I should notify the person concerned. Now all we have to do is wait.”

It was a notice.

“… … .”

Chae Seo-dam froze in place.

It’s a normal reaction. At this point, the average person is overwhelmed.

The opponent has no intention of negotiating, and his preparations have been destroyed, and he even warned that he will now fatally attack your weakness.

Right now, I feel like I’ve been cornered with no way out.

regret and distrust.

And this ego-bloated bastard produces unusual results in his head.

“Why are you doing this to me?”

It is the fault of others.

“I haven’t done anything wrong to you! This is because I had a bad relationship with Sun Ah-hyun when I was in school… does this make sense? sincere… Why are you doing this?”

Chae Seo-dam started to speak gibberish.

“You can’t just trust Sun Ah-hyun’s words and make people like this! Trying to bury it unilaterally like this… .”

“is it.”

I said nonchalantly.

“What you did to Seon Ah-hyun is something anyone would do in that environment, and being treated by someone else is cowardly and unfair?”

“… … .”

“When you did that to Sun Ah-hyun, you knew how to harm the other person. It’s the same when you record me.”

Chae Seo-dam’s face was slapped.

These bastards say that they have to suffer like X to

do something similar to self-reflection. Wouldn’t it be better to accept the outcome?”

Of course, he said it knowing that he was not the one to surrender.

“No, Seon Ah-hyun too! When a story like this comes out, it hurts… .”

Yeah, if you were a person who would reflect on things like this, you wouldn’t have come this far.

I shrugged.

“You say you’re going to do it, but I have to think about that too. know what?”

“… !!”

“It’s not like I’m ruined.”

Chase Dam closed his mouth.

At this point, you won’t be able to stop thinking about it.

‘This bastard is really a crazy asshole.’

‘A real fuckin’ member is going to piss me off by releasing everything, whether it’s a group or a hit or not.’

… That will come desperately.

In addition, as for the level of self-destruction, he is probably creating hell by using his imagination as much as possible.

‘That bastard is preparing for my social death!’

hmm.

of course it’s bullshit

I’m not an idiot, and of course I don’t intend to bring this up to the surface.

‘It’s just a threat.’

“You are responsible for your work. is not it? You have proof.”

“Oh no… .”

The same goes for this.

We realized that Seon Ah-hyun had recorded the situation while discussing it among ourselves. However, it is difficult to identify Chae Seo-dam because of the sound quality of the file.

The only thing left is the counseling record that Sun Ah-hyun first mentioned, but this is highly likely to become a dogfight as all kinds of public opinion cling to it.

I mean, I have no intention of leaving behind all of that and adding personal elements other than activities to this already eventful group.

But Chae Seo-dam doesn’t know that.

“… … .”

He was completely caught up in this massive bluff and sank.

And it seems that he lost his fighting spirit and fell into a state of panic to the extent that he couldn’t even think of crying or getting angry.

‘I want to leave it like this for a week, but…

Then again, a variable may come out, so let’s give it something that looks like a rope.

I touched my smartphone once under the table.

It was time for the last helper to appear.

seconds later.

– Smart smart!

At the same time as a sudden knock, the door burst open.

“Tongue brothers.”

gold 2.

His expression was somewhere between urgent and tense.

“… Kwon Hee-seung.”

Even in the middle of being fed up, Chae Seo-dam turned his head and looked at him, as if he was writing all the different scenarios.

But the moment Gold 2’s next words came out, the atmosphere changed.

“I heard about it at a meeting and came here… . Moondae-hyung, no matter how much it is, can you bear with it until the official announcement?”

“… … hmm.”

I intentionally didn’t answer. Like a little conflict.

“… !”

Then, a flash of light returned to Chae Seo-dam’s eyes.

It is hope.

“Seodam hyung must be reflecting a lot too. Is that right, brother?”

Chae Seo-dam nodded as if he were sincere. And hurriedly opens his mouth.

“I’m sorry.”

I realized it was the right time to do something.

“yes.”

“Recorded… I was trying to use it. I was wrong. misunderstood… .”

After a moderate pause, I answered.

“I don’t think I would have apologized if things weren’t like this. Anyway, I understand.”

“Since it’s the current situation, Seodam-hyung understood it right?? tongue type. Tell me what you understand.”

I can see Chae Seo-dam rolling her head at Gold 2’s words.

In the end, he almost followed what I said earlier.

“… You shouldn’t try to be good even while causing great harm to others… That’s a misguided effort, yes.”

‘good.’

Eventually this word came out.

I don’t know if he’s sincere, but what he said in a shocking situation was important.

After time, if you want to rationalize your actions as positive, you will have to affirm that recognition as well.

And the moment the silence flows, Gold 2 instigates the situation again.

“Think of a bird, Moondae hyung! If Seo Dam-hyung resigns so badly… Things may be bigger than you think… Then this year’s schedule may be difficult… .”

“… … .”

I looked at Gold 2 in silence. Gold 2 looked at me with a face that looked like it would shed a cold sweat and swallowed.

gulp.

I shrugged my shoulders at the end of the last one.

“what… If the company is damaged, there will be a lot of work.”

“… … !”

As if holding back a sigh, I glanced at Seodam and then nodded.

“Only this time.”

* * *

After that it was simple.

Relieved, Chae Seo-dam wrote a contract in an instant and left the team voluntarily, fueled by the encouragement of Gold 2.

‘The nuance of the contract was also important.’

Instead of Chae Seo-dam keeping the conversation he had just had a secret, we made sure to keep Chae Seo-dam’s weaknesses silent.

Instead of burying Chae Seo-dam’s attempts to spread rumors and the story of school violence, it is a contract that he will leave quietly and not harm the team.

And articles and announcements quickly surfaced.

[< Azusa > 10th place in new season, Chae Seo-dam failed to debut “Health problem”]

Anyway, because of various incidents, I was hated by the debut group fandom and the reason was ‘health’, so this incident passed without any major problems or disturbances.

And at the end of the conversation, Gold 2, who came in and drank all the honey, was a smile itself.

As you may have noticed, he is the one who has been tricked into serving the role of giving carrots to Chae Seo-dam while Keun Se-jin is making a plan.

-Okay, just swing the whip~ Let’s make Hee-seung give you a mouthful of carrots at the end!

I can’t deny it. It was a good line.

“You’re good at acting.”

“Me? You were completely sincere.”

On that day, as soon as Chae Seo-dam left the room, Gold 2 took a long, deep breath with an expression that she had taken a breather.

“after… No, how could that hyung make his debut again this time… Oh I don’t know! Anyway, I feel relieved because I quietly sent them away before debuting!”

I have no intention of blaming him because I would have been upset if he was on the same team as a ticking time bomb. I just laughed

“Thank you for watching again. older brother!”

“There is nothing to be thankful for.”

“Ei-hyung is really great to see again! I will be really good to you anytime!”

Gold 2 started sending hello messages more often after that.

And after a while, another type of text message came in through the manager of the debut group of < Azusa >.

The sender was Chae Seo-dam.

It was a long message, but interestingly, it was Sun Ah-hyun who requested it as the recipient.

[I thought everything was part of the competition and I was competitive, but I’m sorry that I hurt you more than I thought or intended. I really realized it this time. There might be something wrong with my way… … .]

To sum up these phrases, it was that he seemed to have been too much for Seon Ah-hyun during his school days.

Of course, half of it was close to self-excuse.

“… ‘More than intended’? Did you call this an apple now? I still can’t come to my senses… !”

“I’m fine… !”

Bae Se-jin, who was angry by proxy, was stopped by Seon Ah-hyun.

“I didn’t expect to receive an apology… . I thought no, but my apologies… I guess I wanted to get one too.”

“Ah Hyun-ah… .”

“Thank you.”

Seon Ah-hyun nodded to the surroundings and met my eyes.

“And thank you, Mundae-ya… . I tried to help too, but I feel like I get help every time.”

“… ?”

What are you talking about after you spread the rice well and sent it to the pile?

Of course, if I answered like this, there would be endless discussions, so I simply answered.

“It was a collaboration. I am also grateful.”

“Yes… !”

Sun Ah-hyun smiled brightly and coolly took down the text capture of Chae Seo-dam.

“Oh oh!”

The members applaud as if they saw some kind of ceremony. Seon Ah-hyun seems a bit shy.

“hmm.”

I thought as I watched the apology-like thing disappear.

‘It looks like that bastard is going to forget about that again anyway.’

However, it is a board that has been designed with that in mind.

‘I’m sure he’ll keep his mouth shut because he’s the type of person who can’t avoid being disadvantaged.’

And when he almost became an X with such an overwhelming difference, he won the mental victory with a sense of awe rather than revenge.

‘I coped well with that situation and got out.’

It’s like this.

Therefore, this guy will never think of gnawing at related issues again. Sun Ah-hyun will forget this guy.

‘I’ll never see you again.’

That’s because it’s been cleaned out of the industry.

“… hmm.”

After thinking about it for a while, I put in a text message that night.

[Well done. Thank you]

Well, it’s a simple fact that it helped me with this, so it’s worth doing this much.

belt ring.

Soon after, a picture of a familiar dog with its front paws arrived.

hello

“… hmm.”

I touched my chin.

Surprisingly, I don’t scratch. This bastard is slowly coming to his senses… .

[VTIC Senior Shin Cheong-ryeo: Really? Then I’d like to get a song in return.]

“… … .”

Are you crazy

[VTIC Senior Senior: I’m joking ^^]

I didn’t reply and turned off the text.

After sending Chae Seo-dam away with that, the impact was all sorted out.

And at the meeting the very next day, it is revealed that if Chae Seo-dam had not been sent away at this time, they would have almost worked together.

“There was a more specific schedule for the company’s concert agenda… .”

It’s because the story of the group concert schedule of artists belonging to the symbol of the successful agency came out.
