Debut or Die

Chapter 319

If you can’t debut, you’ll get sick to death Episode 319:

Let’s leave ‘Park Moon-dae’ alone?

therefore… Whether or not he disappears like this, I will just go back to the point where I rode the target and continue living as a testa.

Now, there is no need to talk further with Park Moon-dae just to understand the principles of the system. Because I didn’t seem to know anything.

I’ve done as much as I can, so I’ll stop worrying about it and completely get my hands on the idol life I’ve been developing for years.

I won’t deny it.

It sounded plausible when I heard it apart from being ruthless. Because I came to admit that the life I lived in that body was also mine.

‘but… .’

I took a deep breath and relaxed my fists.

“is not it.”

“… … .”

Cheongryeo stopped tapping her fingers on the table.

“Of course, what I experienced as a body at Park Moon University is my experience. Because I did it.”

“is it so. then… .”

“But the body is different.”

I leaned over.

“I can’t say that it’s mine unconditionally just because I’ve been using it for a few years. Park Moon-dae’s growth background is what he went through.”

“… … .”

“I happened to get quite a bit of help there.”

If ‘Park Moon-dae’ hadn’t lived right, it would have been difficult to win such a dramatic first place. And even after debuting, it would have been X in the past.

Cheongryeo stared at me.

“Have you ever thought that you would have succeeded faster if you did it with your original body?”

“I haven’t tried it, so I can’t say for sure. And in the first place, this is also a problem that has nothing to do with achievement.”

I chuckled.

“Park Moon-dae has the right to live with his body. Don’t blur the subject.”

“… … .”

He continued to stare at me without saying a word, then quietly opened his mouth.

“So if that’s what you want, you’re going to give up your junior’s career?”

“I never said I would give up.”

“then.”

I crossed my arms.

“We have to come to an agreement.”

Now that his status ailments are over, I plan to listen to what he wants and make adjustments.

I’m like that again… can’t do it

“I’m just saying I’m not going to wipe my mouth and eat my back.”

“I don’t understand. You don’t need to think about it that much.”

I shrugged.

“what… I must have heard it.”

After sharing how ‘Park Moon-dae’ has been for several days in a row over the past few years, it is because I am human too.

‘It’s kind of funny how you think you’re going to respect the doctor and not how to get this bastard to give up.’

At that moment, the person sitting across from me removed his hand from the table without expression.

“It makes me feel good.”

“okay.”

“I didn’t expect it to weigh the same as your achievements.”

I put my glasses back on.

“I keep trying to measure things that can’t be either/or… Change the words to four and a career and think about it.”

“… … .”

“Isn’t it easier to live now with both of them than when I gave up on one because of career considerations?”

Just in time, the dog under the table barked. Cheong-rye reflexively lowered her hand.

I could see the dog rubbing its nose.

“I’m also going to try to handle the situation with the goal of having both of them okay.”

“… … .”

Cheong-ryeo kept her mouth shut with a mysterious expression. It seemed as if he was rolling something in his head that he did not know whether it was a calculation or a thought.

‘It’s surprising.’

I thought that this bastard was good at encouraging me to weed out competitors.

‘The way of thinking is exaggerated, but I gave honest advice.’

I ended up adding it briefly.

“anyway… Thank you for recognizing Testa Park Moon-dae as me.”

“… … .”

It wasn’t a bad feeling that the first evaluation after hearing all this shit was recognition.

He paused for a moment, then smiled bitterly.

“is it so. What if it is?”

no i will cancel Well, I’m a little pissed at Tura for giving me such a big permission.

Cheong-rye removed her hand from her dog.

“That’s too bad. I was willing to help in case of emergency.”

I don’t think this bastard was trying to help bury the main body of Bakmundae.

‘How wasteful is the career of a group 1 idol?’

I changed the subject to wake up the useless overindulgence of the guy.

“Then give me a phone call tomorrow.”

“tomorrow?”

“I thought I’d have to check who was in this body after today.”

“hmm.”

“Don’t do anything stupid.”

In order to prevent an unexpected situation, I was thinking of leaving a note telling ‘Park Moon-dae’ to listen carefully to the voice coming through this phone and remember it and skip it in the future.

Cheong-rye shrugged.

“great. I will contact you through another body, so wait.”

“I don’t need that… .”

for a moment.

I remembered the phone call I received from this guy out of the blue one day in November.

-hmm… I wonder if you have anything to say to me.

and the next word.

– Is it yet?

“… … ”

Looking back at the date, today is the day before.

‘I see.’

now i get it This bastard contacted me knowing the situation at that time.

‘But he didn’t mention it once and wiped his mouth until he got on the target.’

Whether it’s helpful or not,

he’s an unpredictable bastard. I clicked my tongue and got up.

“Are you going?”

“okay.”

Since the story was over and there was no case in particular, I thought of looking for more traces of Park Moon-dae, even physically.

“Uh, good bye. I will contact you tomorrow.”

It felt a bit odd that I had already received that call.

“okay.”

I ended the conversation with Cheongryeo and returned to the officetel.

Upon arrival, the search began immediately.

‘Is there anything?’

No sign of anything came out.

I didn’t feel much of a sense of life in an officetel, perhaps because I was stuck in a boarding school. Only one bedroom was filled with hobbies everywhere.

Testa’s albums and MDs.

It was kept well in various drawers that I didn’t even have time to open because I’d been chatting with him every time.

‘Did you come to the concert again?’

I even visited the MD of the world tour I did earlier this year.

“Looks like you’ve had a good time.”

I smiled and put them back. Still, it wasn’t a bad feeling to have been used to relieve stress in this guy’s life for exams.

But the situation was still the same.

The whereabouts of ‘Park Moon-dae’ are still unknown, and the only thing that can be confirmed is the calendar on the smartphone.

-The day I meet my brother!

“… .”

Other than that, there are no special schedules and no logged-in social media accounts. Except for looking for Testa, I think I really only studied and lived.

I tried a few times to see if I could see his status window, but nothing popped up. It’s just my ‘receiving my reward’.

“after.”

Once here

Eventually, around midnight, I sat down on the couch and started scribbling notes.

-When I came in, you weren’t there, so I left it in writing. First of all, congratulations on passing and hard work.

… … .

Since the Cheong-Ryeo phone call was set to be recorded, I once again organized everything from not to meet or spill additional information after familiarizing myself with the voice, to how to contact me in December.

Then soon… It’s midnight.

dang-.

I’m lying on the sofa

A small bell rings in the corner.

‘You changed the clock.’

After a short thought like ‘I think that was a concert MD’, unconditional sleep comes over again.

Soon the senses and thoughts disappeared. As always these days.

dang-.

But the bell rings.

‘Wait a minute’

And what I’m doing is cognition and thinking.

‘I’m coming back.’

I don’t know what it is, but it’s like I’m trying to completely fall asleep and have been interrupted… .

“brother!”

“… !”

I got up.

I was still in the officetel. But there was one strange thing.

“It’s really nice, brother… !”

A strange-looking boy was sitting on the floor in front of the sofa where I was lying.

It seems to resemble me in a strange way, but it’s not exactly the same… .

“Park Moondae.”

When his name was called, he smiled awkwardly.

“yes… I’m not sure if I can call you by that name.”

I could guess why he said that. That guy seemed to have been fixed in his early twenties by mixing some of Ryu Kun-woo into the frame of Park Moon-dae.

‘Did you receive that as a new body?’

I have a headache because of sleep. I pressed my temples and rose from the sofa.

“That’s your name, though.”

“that… My brother uses that name too. Because I also wrote my brother’s name… Ah, then, please call me ‘big moon’!”

It sounds like a title that could only come out of a game jeongmo, but do whatever you want. I nodded and went straight to the point.

“How is the situation now?”

It’s an unexpected situation, but it seems strangely calm.

The guy in front of me turned to the blinds on the veranda with a slightly nervous face.

and operated the button.

“Oh first… Please look at this.”

Wiing.

The blinds open and what you see… .

“… !”

The sunset was setting outside the window.

However, it is not a common color. The feeling of the golden and purple-red sunlight colliding with each other and hearing the sound of a music box somewhere.

It was something I knew.

“It’s a scene from the < Magical Boy > teaser, and hyung and I must have been very impressed. This has been implemented.”

“… avatar?”

“yes.”

The guy laughed awkwardly.

“I… This is the world of imagination.”

“… … !”

“So it’s not real, it only happens in our heads… .”

“You know what, stop it.”

“yes.”

You can understand it as a state similar to the daydream you had during that coma.

And I also realized why he was behaving like that. It seems that self-awareness was mixed while living as ‘Ryu Gun-woo’.

‘I’m going through all kinds of experiences.’

I held back a sigh.

The guy laughed awkwardly.

“Your brother really knows everything… .”

I said that because there are so many things I don’t know about that I feel like I’m going to turn around.

“No way. Rather, you seem familiar with this situation.”

“… … .”

“Maybe today… So, were you still here yesterday?”

Originally, Park Moon-dae’Keun-dal’ sat carefully on the floor. And he answered seriously.

“yes.”

also.

“And it wasn’t just yesterday.”

“what?”

“Brother I… You’ve been pressing ‘accept synchronization’ while resolving status ailments.”

I remember. It made people feel uncomfortable by only mentioning ‘accumulated completion’ every time.

“It turned out that it was synchronized with the time I was with my brother.”

“Are you with me?”

“yes.”

“I have no memory of that.”

“It was different.”

Keundal rubbed his palms on his thighs with a nervous face. and said quietly

Bring up a random topic.

“Hyung, I want to apologize first.”

“My older brother suffered so much… Actually, it’s my fault.”

“… … .”

“that… When my brother fell into a coma, I had a crazy idea.”

He slowly began to explain the situation at the time.

“Because my brother said he might never wake up again. So I… I cleaned my brother’s house. I knew then.”

Following those words, the thoughts he had experienced at the time began to rise directly in my head like a resonance.

-this… .

the camera I used.

And among the data that I didn’t delete there,

there was also something I uploaded with the ‘gun1234’ account.

And this guy who was tidying up the house seemed to recognize it at once.

The psychological blow was very decisive.

-What should I do… .

“at that time… I must have been very heartbroken. It’s no different than hyung helping me from then until now, but there’s nothing I can do to help, and hyung is going to die soon… .”

“… … .”

“So I was packing up and going back, and I accidentally leaned against the handrail of the outer stairwell with the trash in my hand. without thinking… .”

It was such a cheap one-room building, so I thought the railing looked dangerous when I went out to smoke.

“But the railing couldn’t overcome its weight and collapsed… .”

And, of course, when this guy is at his most frantic, it is destroyed.

-ping!

at the worst possible timing.

“To be honest, I thought I might have broken my leg in moderation until now… … I didn’t talk about it because I was worried. But maybe… Maybe I was on the verge of dying then.”

I almost bit my tongue. But the man’s story wasn’t over.

“So I guess the system got it wrong.”

“mistaken?”

“This system grants wishes based on the thoughts you had right before you died.”

The big moon swallowed.

“however… I hoped that my brother would live a long and happy life, but at that time, he was in a coma on the verge of death like me… An error occurred. You misunderstood the object.”

“… !”

“My older brother went back to the past and lived in my body instead of me.”

– Ugh… .

I remembered waking up in a dirty motel room.

But the point of view of that scene… It was me.

“I think I was fused into the system in the process… I guess there was still a bit of ego left. It’s like a pattern of behavior that needs to be corrected.”

And I realized

This guy continued to use the word ‘system’ naturally.

… Just like the usage of the word I had never explained to anyone who defined it myself.

I barely opened my mouth.

“… status window.”

The guy nods.

“that’s right.”

“… … .”

“So, brother, I am… It was my brother’s status window.”
