Debut or Die

Chapter 353

Episode 353

“Come in.”

“… … .”

Park Mun-dae, wearing a black hoodie, staggered a little as he entered the front door. Kongi groaned and hovered around him.

Only the dog’s cry echoed in the spacious and quiet accommodation.

“Bean hands.”

Cheong-rye is already trying to lift her dog, which is preparing to ‘finish the walk’… .

‘hmm.’

I deliberately asked my companion.

“Can you help me?”

“… .”

Park Moon-dae silently wiped Kongi’s feet, brought him a meal, and eventually accepted the dog putting his head on his leg.

‘I can’t come to my senses.’

When I thought I had crossed the line, there was no reaction I usually see.

Cheong-Ryeo put the hot drink on the other side and spoke casually.

“Have you failed?”

“… … .”

The hooded head raised its head. There is no particular backlash.

‘Right.’

It depends on what kind of failure it is, but probably not work-related.

‘Then there’s no way I wouldn’t know.’

He didn’t miss his competitor’s trends.

Maybe it was faster for Park Moon-dae to receive information than for the poor company to realize the problem on its own… .

Cheong-Ryeo looked at the competitor who was still wearing a mask and then continued.

“I heard you have something to say. do. I will listen.”

“… … .”

Moondae Park looked down at the dog and spoke in a low voice.

“You said you explained the situation to someone else.”

“Yes.”

oh you failed

Apparently, Park Moon-dae told someone else about the situation.

Park Mun-dae confessed to Hana, who was apparently the same age, so it is highly likely that the remaining one was the same age. Relationship pressure usually works that way.

I could have said something like ‘I told you not to recommend it’, but… The request was omitted.

Even if you didn’t have to do that, it seemed like you knew it well.

“excuse… I heard you have an excuse to use.”

“Yes.”

I looked at him wondering if he was just asking for information, not a deal or a threat, but his junior didn’t seem to be in a state to make such calculations right now.

Even really out of the ordinary.

Cheong-Ryeo confirmed that the reason Bak Mun-Dae didn’t hold the cup in front of him was because his hands were shaking.

The sleeve fabric fluttered.

“… … .”

It is in a crisis state where only the outer shape remains as if it is barely enduring an enormous shock with incontinence.

Cheong-ryo found traces of her very old self that were unfamiliar to her.

Just like it happened several times in the past with Moondae Park.

So I quietly opened my mouth.

“First, I create a storyline similar to mine. Find a reference from a best-selling novel or movie with a decent reputation.”

Cheongryeo found suitable examples by year and organized them.

I don’t want to tell you in advance what will be released in the future, even by mistake.

“I said that in an interview first. Keyword-oriented.”

”… … .”

“It’s like a foreshadowing that I’m feeling the charm from a conceptual point of view.”

Then, the member who heard his secret just passed by as a prank or excessive immersion later talking about something.

It’s a way to take the public and throw away the relationship.

“It’s a way to neutralize the opponent’s mouth. It’s effective. Should I say it’s like a vaccination?”

However, no words came out of the masked mouth.

Cheong-rye guessed somewhat unevenly.

‘I don’t like it.’

Park Moon-dae was emotional to the point of being soft at times. Well, it’s only natural that I’ve only returned once.

Cheong-Ryeo offered another alternative even though she did not like it internally.

“Don’t you like it? Then just tell the other person directly that it was a mistake because it was difficult to promote.”

“… !”

“At first, it was just a daydream as a joke, but I think I really came to believe it myself before I knew it… enough?”

Park Moon-dae raised his head.

This method is entirely focused on making the other person feel at ease, so in fact, Cheong-ryeo herself has rarely used it except for a few times in the beginning.

‘Because there is a variable or efficiency problem.’

It was because he was annoyed with sudden actions even if he was slightly insincere.

However, it seemed like the right way for Park Moon-dae.

Well, if I cared that much, I didn’t think I would say anything insincere. Cheong-Ryeo kindly added an explanation.

“Then I will believe it even if I see a gap. It’s not terribly different from the expected answer you thought, but it’s positive.”

Cheong-ryeo finished her words slowly as she watched Kongi, who hadn’t been called, but even gave her hand to Park Mun-dae.

“That kind of people don’t change their thoughts that they’ve already concluded.”

And laughed.

“You don’t want to be the wrong person, do you?”

“… … .”

“Give me the answer you want to hear. Then it will be fixed.”

Steam was still rising from the drink that Moondae Park hadn’t touched in front of Cheongryeo.

And Park Moon-dae, who finally met his eyes… .

I was sure.

“no.”

this.

* * *

My head is like mud.

Thanks to this, at dawn, I sat down at someone else’s accommodation, which had the same structure as Testa’s accommodation. I know it’s not even funny.

But even though it’s a complicated worm’s burrow-like head that makes you go crazy without knowing what to do, one thing works.

it’s just denial

“no.”

Cheongryeo, who was sitting across from her, bowed her head to the side.

It feels like cold water has been poured into the muddy water in my head.

“hmm?”

“He… Not that kind of guy.”

That one could definitely be refuted.

‘Seon Ah-hyun is a person who admits that he is wrong.’

That’s harsh enough.

He has lived that way ever since. Keeping conscious of your own trauma and flaws.

[!Status Abnormality: Lack of Self-Esteem]

Wearing that abnormal status, keep finding and acknowledging weaknesses and points to fix in oneself.

too much.

and try to overcome

[Trait: Guts]

His traits seemed to reflect that.

attitude to overcome. And I’m trying to do my best… correct judgment.

‘I’m not the kind of guy who can easily convince you that I’ve told you what I want to hear.’

So, on the contrary, a problem arose.

I heard what Seon Ah-hyun shouted… I remember it.

– I’m sorry… . I can’t believe it… Doesn’t help either… .

“… He wanted to believe it.”

“I guess so.”

“But I thought it was right not to believe it.”

“… … .”

“I didn’t come to a conclusion in a way I was comfortable with, but I ended up like this while trying to find an uncomfortable answer.”

I… Because he couldn’t explain it properly, he misunderstood that mental illness was the correct answer.

‘… In fact, the battles were also splendid.’

I smiled bitterly as I recalled everything from seizures to alcoholism.

… I don’t know why I thought Sun Ah-hyun would believe it.

“therefore… I have no intention of using it that way. not through. Because it’s the exact opposite.”

If it were Seon Ah-hyun, he might think about it again and realize that it was an appropriate excuse.

Then there is really no turning back.

“is it so? all right.”

Cheong-rye nodded as if she had nothing to regret.

“however… Don’t you think that’s a very presumptuous judgment?”

what?

“I… .”

“No, not junior… that person.”

“… !”

“Isn’t it that juniors got into trouble because they were sure that the wrong answer was the right answer? I don’t know why you’re so concerned… .”

“… … .”

“Aren’t you embarrassed?”

I clenched my fist.

But he soon let go of his strength with a sigh.

“I said it, and in the end I also have to accept the reaction.”

The words came out softer than expected.

“It’s not like someone tortured you, but if it was poured out, you should bear it.”

“hmm.”

The guy on the other side doesn’t seem to agree very much, but he didn’t refute this time either.

“is it so. Cheer up. You can give up anytime if you don’t like it.”

“Even if you leave Testa, your junior’s life won’t end. Yes?”

This bastard seems to have a healthier idea than before… .

‘Why do you sound so disrespectful?’

It’s pretty upsetting.

Besides, my situation right now is not the time to think about that alone.

‘You bastard said someone other than me would return to the status window.’

I gritted my teeth.

However, if I say it, ‘Anyway, my junior isn’t going to die… um yes I get it.”

I just kept my mouth shut.

And then I looked at him again.

‘This guy with poor empathy is good at consulting.’

I was sitting on a bench to cool my head just in case, but I didn’t know that I would come all the way to the dorm and be treated to tea.

‘… A bit compared.’

I was silent for a while, remembering that I had closed the door when Cheong-rye came to see the news of the dog being hospitalized.

No, no matter how much it is, there is a difference between coming to the front of the house. Let’s do what we have to say though.

“Anyway, thanks for the advice.”

“Are you not going to do it? haha.”

That’s my heart, baby.

Anyway, I started thinking again with a clearer mind than the night before.

‘Once the testa’s activities were restricted… .’

… I will never give a damn about this kid. X would love it

“Will Beans Snack?”

“king!”

I looked at the guy who was adept at handling his dog and kept quiet.

In the end, there is only one way to come back.

‘Seonahyeon’s characteristics must be reactivated.’

grit.

Re-activating it to offset the status ailment is the surest move.

but… Looking back, I don’t think my words will work.

‘… I wonder if he’ll even try to talk.’

I don’t know, but it could have been a list of recommended hospitals.

‘Stop’

I cut off the thought of going to the useless side.

in a productive way.

‘That’s why someone else should do it, not me.’

It means that the members have to do similar things that I did with my characteristics in Azusa.

“… … .”

mobilize helpers

I got up from my seat with a few ideas in mind.

no i was trying to get up

“Keeing.”

Even if the dog didn’t catch the person.

Cheongryeo’s eyes narrowed.

“I feel sorry for Kongi. It’s okay to stay here for a while.”

to the lodging?

“What about your members?”

I heard that he released an album before he enlisted, but why can’t I see him blowing his nose?

“Personal schedule. Or because it’s a vacation.”

is it.

It wasn’t just a dog grabbing a person.

I looked around again.

Well, I don’t want to closely observe where other people live, but… There were some things that caught my eye.

Photo frames and souvenirs that I received at the beginning of my debut are still arranged in the living room.

“… … .”

Wait a minute, I think I took a picture and sold it… done. no way.

I turned my eyes and looked at the guy and the dog on the other side of the road.

And impulsively asked.

“Do you have any intention of talking to the members right now?”

“yes.”

There is no sign of worry.

“I wonder why my junior said that. You don’t have to tell me, do you?”

“… … .”

that’s my question too

Fuck, I don’t know why I said that… .

“I don’t know. just… I want to talk.”

“… … .”

Whether I laughed at it or not, I answered with half-giving up.

However, Cheong-rye just replied like this after petting the dog’s head.

“It could be.”

“… … !”

“Because it will be frustrating.”

Surprisingly, a faint understanding emerges from the tone.

“Aren’t you frustrated?”

“Nothing. hmm… No, it seems like it was like that before, but people get used to it.”

Cheong-rye takes her hand away from the dog and smiles a little.

“They say they are adaptable animals, right? Your junior will be fine soon.”

“… … ..”

My head thinks it’s bullshit. weird… It’s funny that it’s emotionally comforting.

I finally answered with a sigh.

“… thanks.”

“is it so.”

He’s holding his own dog, so I’ll have to take advantage of this gap and get up soon.

I poured the cooled tea into my mouth and stood up.

‘I didn’t even suspect what was on it.’

It seems I’m still not sane.

When I left the table shaking my head.

belt-ring.

The doorbell rings.

I inadvertently looked at the intercom. I was thinking that if I was a member of this company, I would have to hide.

But the tall guy in the light clothes wearing the mask that can be seen on camera… .

This is Seon Ah-hyun.

”… !!”

I reflexively backed away. Why… It’s here.

‘What came to me… .’

It won’t be. How do you know I’m here

And there is no reason for you to come.

‘I haven’t received any contact from the company or the members.’

It wasn’t even set to silent, but there was no vibration…

“… … .”

for a moment.

I somehow checked my light pocket, then raised my eyes and looked at the intercom screen again.

One of the two smartphones in Seon Ah-hyun’s hand.

‘That apple case.’

it’s my smartphone

“ah.”

And I figured out the situation. now i… Last night, I left the door open and crawled out at dawn with no contact… .

“I have a visitor since morning.”

… It’s been about 3 hours.
