Debut or Die

Chapter 371

Episode 371 Cha

Yoo-jin.

A center with ‘Attribute: Black Hole (S)’.

With a crazy combination of conditions optimized for idols from skill to mentality, he has Triple A as his stat at a young age. I will not even go to the army and there will be no hiatus.

No wonder the system gave this guy five stars.

but… other conditions.

[Cha Cha Yujin doesn’t know anything?]

“I don’t know.”

This guy… My body changes, I return to the past, the status window opens, and I am Nabal and I do not know anything.

And that’s the most difficult kind of human being to properly explain.

-OK. So you and I used to know each other, but you came back to the past and became a different person?

-Call 911?

‘ruined.’

I moaned and rubbed my face.

However, the status bar flashes merrily.

[Would you like to welcome it like this?]

“… uh.”

X-shot Yes, I can’t take it.

[First Fellow Recruitment]

: < Fellow Awakening > has been unlocked!

– > Move

Another new tab is opened.

I got that popup right away. This time instead of a banner, something like a list of friends from the game pops up… … .

[Awakenable colleague]

Jaehyun Shin: During today’s workout (*^^*)

Yujin Cha: Sleeping soundly (?p?)zZ

“… … .”

You see a dot image of each gnome that looks like an emoticon. this too… It seems that ?Section 127? was implemented as a deteriorated version.

It’s a bit ridiculous, but it might not be bad for information seeking purposes. lame though.

… It’s been a while since I’ve seen Cha Yoo-jin’s name, so it’s nice to see you. Anyway, it looks like everyone else is here too.

“after.”

I sighed and checked the remaining exp. It’s 2000.

‘I’m sure there won’t be failures in leveling up.’

Isn’t that a step beyond the line in the ‘127 Section’ game? Of course, at the point of introducing the star rating system, I ate it.

‘If you think of it as a reinforcement concept, there is a possibility of failure.’

And if it fails, it’s just evaporation.

“Are there any probability tables here?”

What percentage of failures are what percentages of five stars?

Shouldn’t we at least know the expected value and calculate it?

[Wait a minute!]

The pop-up of the large moon that disappeared in a hurry reappeared after a while as if crawling in.

[Something like that… I don’t have it.]

“… … .”

Minimum expectations… Smashed.

Well, in the first place, there was nothing in the colleague recruitment banner.

I don’t even get mad anymore I, the X-God, expected morality from this crazy system. I looked at the ceiling of the room and held my breath.

Then I realized that there is a postal symbol in the top corner of the status window.

‘for a moment.’

What do you notice about that?

clicked

[The money for failure came… .]

+ 10G

+10G

“… … .”

For reference, there is no gold tab in this status window.

That is, it is a fake product. It must have happened in the process of overwriting the existing 127 section skin.

‘I’m stuffing the text with gold, you damn bastard… .’

I took my eyes off because I thought my blood vessels would explode if I continued. And back to the point.

Fellow Awakening!

[Colleague: Do you want to awaken Cha Yu-jin?] -Use

Exp 1000

.

I pressed OK.

Then, in Cha Yoo-jin’s dot image, an unusual light is lingering.

[Leap towards the emergency… .]

and seconds later.

Fanfare explodes from Cha Yu-jin’s handwriting.

[First awakening success!]

That’s it.

I clenched my fist. Not because of the thrill of success.

‘So what’s going to happen.’

I have to check how valid the explanation I pasted is, but I summoned them as colleagues and have no realistic words other than these emoticons.

‘What do you want me to do as a colleague?’

It was then.

Another pop-up pops up.

[< Communication > has been unlocked!]

“… !”

I don’t think it’s possible to have a conversation with a colleague through the status window like a big moon… … .

[I got a contact… .]

Cha Yujin: 858-XXX-XXXX

“… … .”

They give me the real number.

No, look closely… This even has an area code of the United States.

San Diego, California, USA.

‘Damn it.’

I punched the bed.

Are you in the US?

Is that why Sang-tae was sleeping?!

* * *

Cha Yoo-jin had a dream.

In the dream, he left his hometown and took up a job in a foreign country where his bloodline came from.

-Take your STAR. Hello Testa!

He was a KPOP idol!

It was a job he never imagined would appear in his life.

From the moment I impulsively accepted the scouting offer that suddenly came in after the semester ended, everything was decided in an instant.

There was only one reason.

It was fun!

And gearco he made his debut with a good team… .

– Eugene is the best at this kind of thing.

They were good members.

It wasn’t always good things, but every moment that ended up with good results.

spicy… A more dynamic life!

At that moment he realized.

‘This isn’t a dream.’

Cha Yu-jin opened her eyes.

And at that moment, he realized that he remembered the past, not a dream.

“Whoa.”

6 am.

He reached out and dismissed the alarm that hadn’t gone off yet.

Then I walked out to the kitchen, drank some water, and reflected on what had happened.

‘ah.’

The hair that wasn’t dyed was somehow awkward. therefore… .

Who are you?

’23-year-old Cha Yoo-jin belonging to the KPOP group Testa.’

However, now Cha Yoo-jin’s body is living in a completely different situation. He went to the local high school and was on the football team… .

I didn’t know much about KPOP. until just yesterday.

‘Wait, was it really yesterday?’

I couldn’t figure out what the situation was. Apparently, he had been on vacation for a long time and went to a friend’s house to play together… .

Actually, is this a dream?

He brought his hand to his face without hesitation.

puck.

“cadet.”

It hurt terribly.

He reproached his judgment for hitting him in the face and realized why.

It’s because I’m going to go on stage, but I don’t want my face to be scarred.

“hmm.”

He put down his glass of water and shrugged.

‘I’m an idol.’

It was right to start from there.

All that knowledge and information tips that I remember are by no means fake. An elaborate, real experience that no lunatic can make up.

‘On the contrary, this side is more suspicious.’

he rubbed his chin. Isn’t the life of this local high school too plain compared to one’s own life?

It’s no different than when I was in middle school.

‘Whatever.’

First of all, he texts the numbers of other members of Testa… .

‘… … I don’t know?’

Well, who in the world memorizes other people’s numbers these days?

He shrugged and tried to think of what to do next. But before that, an alarm popped up on my smartphone.

Ding-dong.

It was a message from the Face Look account.

It’s all in Korean.

-Apple: Hello.

-Apple: I am Park Moondae. If you remember, please reply.

The typeface uses a familiar tone.

“oh my god.”

Cha Yoo-jin laughed.

How can you show up at the perfect timing every time?

He tapped the screen with one hand.

-I’m from America lol

-I’m going to Korea tomorrow!

It seemed that the same thing would happen if I lost my savings on the plane ticket anyway. Cha Yoo-jin giggled.

* * *

“… So, are you waiting for the former member to enter the country now from the United States?”

“okay.”

I nodded.

I wasn’t too happy with the expression “former member”, but there’s no need to be blunt with the guy who followed me all the way to the airport.

“It is an unusual variable that past memories can come back randomly. I really want to write it.”

Cheong-rye is manipulating something with her smartphone with a sad face.

That bastard seems to be acting completely assuming that this is real.

‘… I understand.’

It wouldn’t have been once or twice.

I’ve been to this guy for a while… I was about to bring up a story about dogs, but I stopped.

‘I have to bring up the story only when I can see a solution to go back.’

Even if I try now, wouldn’t it just make me turn around more? I held my breath and listened to the placard.

[Welcome Testa Yoojin Cha]

… It’s embarrassing, but I can’t help it because my face is different from before.

‘It was fortunate that I was able to find the FaceLook account with my phone number.’

And fortunately, not long after holding this, a guy ran through the gate and came out excitedly.

A guy wearing a jumper that looks like a ski suit and dragging a suitcase with one hand.

“brother!”

Cha Yoo-jin, a common man.

I was speechless for a moment and felt a strange feeling… Wait, how old is that kid?

Cha Yoo-jin, who is young and blue, stops in the middle and frowns.

“Moondae hyung?”

“uh. grow.”

Calm down.

No matter how old this pup is, you need to explain why the body is different before proceeding.

But before I could open my mouth, he did.

“He looks like Moondae hyung, but he’s a different person. Have you ever had plastic surgery?”

“… similar.”

“Oh… .”

“greatness.”

I heard the sound of a baby cleaving. I pressed my forehead and muttered.’

“anyway… I’ll even give you the password for our dorm, so try anything first.”

“I don’t need it. You are right!”

“… … okay?”

“yes. [Of us, only Moondae hyung says that.]”

Cha Yoo-jin smiled.

“I know. So please explain!”

“… … okay.”

I got out of the airport with a guy who used to mix written expressions from < Azusa > on the road because he was a bit young.

And a game room in Seoul.

“… That’s how it happened.”

I managed to finish the nonsensical explanation of the situation in a long hour.

I break out in a cold sweat.

‘It’s getting more and more embarrassing even in summary… .’

I covered my twitching mouth with coffee. I couldn’t even guess what Cha Yu-jin would say.

However, the boy nodded his head obediently.

[It’s kind of like a parallel dimension multiverse. Right?]

“… … ??”

Cha Yoo-jin… do you understand this

Even in that term?

The guy shrugged.

[In addition, the alien mental parasite… Limestone movies like that. I know that much, too.]

At the same time, he seemed to think that he liked stupid things like this, but I’m just grateful that he agreed. To see Limestone Duck like this.

Of course, it is possible because the evidence is felt on the skin now.

Because life has changed

[Anyway, for some reason, this place didn’t feel like my reality.]

Saying, ‘I’ve found all my memories,’ Cha Yu-jin shook her head as she took a shot of hot chocolate.

[Because I’m so bored. It’s kind of like playing a tape over and over again?]

That’s right.

[And I can’t be a quarterback candidate this easily. It’s a world taller than 6 feet 3 inches.]

Cha Yu-jin grumbled, saying that her 6-foot-tall self had to have more adversity and mountains to overcome in order to succeed.

I agreed.

“I feel like I’ve set the right conditions. It’s not even the right age.”

“that’s right. that senior? Seniors who are not seniors now, were originally older.”

Cha Yoo-jin pointed to Cheongnyeo quite politely.

“… … .”

He… You’ve lived a lot longer than you think.

Anyway, the designated Cheong-rye is processing something with her smartphone without much agitation.

“Are you busy?”

“We have to adjust our debut schedule little by little.”

You reschedule… ?

Then Cha Yu-jin suddenly intervened.

“debut?”

“It looks like I can only get my kids’ memories back if I become famous. I guess it’s like game experience.”

“Um… .”

Cha Yoo-jin’s face was momentarily confused, but he soon understood.

“Okay, okay.”

what.

“I’m debuting too!”

Cha Yoo-jin grinned.

“With me, the group becomes famous faster.”

“… !”

It was a confident statement to the point of being arrogant, but I couldn’t refute it.

“And we’ll be testa again soon! Everyone, find out and do something!”

“… what?”

Cha Yoo-jin smiled.

[anything! We have to find our way back. As a testa!]

You bastard… .

It was to the point where the 17-year-old now felt quite trustworthy.

But it seems that the other guy wasn’t.

“hmm.”

Cheong-Ryeo looked up and down Cha Yu-Jin, as if estimating livestock, and was silent for a moment, then came to a brief conclusion.

“I can’t.”

“… !”

However, Cha Yu-jin had no sense of hitting.

“Everyone has a chance to challenge. The group hasn’t debuted yet. So it’s not yours.”

I’m trying to lose with facts.

However, Cheongryeo also has no sense of hitting.

“There seems to be a misunderstanding.”

Cheong-rye smiled.

“The company won’t accept Yujin, not me.”

“… !?”

And it speaks like a death sentence.

“Because that’s not the look LeTi prefers.”

“… … .”

“… … .”

I now thought of the debut group and Shin-O Judan Cheong-Ryeo. And finally, I thought of my current appearance.

… Doesn’t everything feel dark and cold somewhere?

And finally, I saw 17-year-old Cha Yoo-jin sitting in front of me.

He’s a guy whose eyes are about to explode.

hmm.

surely… When one of these guys comes in, I feel a little out of place.

“I am really good at it. Is that so?”

“well. Even if you ask me… Because I am not the owner of the company.”

Cheongryeo smiled brightly.

“Like you said.”

Oh, this baby is crazy.

Honestly, with Cha Yoo-jin’s ability, even if they don’t debut right away, if the agency has eyes, they’ll keep it somehow.

‘LeTi must be like that too.’

But seeing a guy I know do that, I’m going to kick him out of my own line.

Cha Yu-jin stared at Cheong-ryeo and immediately nodded without regret.

“OK. Then brother, come over here. Find a new agency with me!”

“for a moment.”

It’s not like the agency shoots a rookie every quarter, so if it goes that way, there’s no telling when they’ll be able to debut again.

‘driving me crazy.’

I pressed my forehead. Cheong-rye said without erasing her smile.

“I say so.”

Cha Yu-ji stared at Cheong-ryeo in silence for a while, then opened his mouth quite seriously.

[I don’t know why they appear so hostile, but don’t you want to go back? Your group already exists. Don’t you miss them?]

“… … .”

Did one of them have to keep his mouth shut?

[We can find a way back together, but I don’t know why not.]

Cheong-rye looked at Cha Yu-jin without expression. I was prepared to move if the need arises.

‘now… Didn’t he pick up the unexploded ordnance with an iron skewer?’

But after a while. The words that came out of his mouth were refreshing.

“is it so?”

“… !”

“That’s right. thinking about it… I wonder if I was too complacent.”

Cheong-rye twisted her mouth.

“It doesn’t even have a mission haha!”

Ah X feet… … .

The moment I was about to get up, Cheong-ryo stopped laughing.

“So let’s go with the survival of the fittest logic.”

what?

Cheongryeo laughed.

“Come to think of it, this is the first time I’ve said this… Do you know how many people were in my original group?”

five people.

But that didn’t seem to be what this guy meant.

This guy didn’t touch… First VTIC.

“Nine.”

“… !”

“Quite a lot, right? haha. It’s a composition that now includes two more members in the seven debut groups… Where do you think those two suddenly appeared?”

“… … .”

Why at the end… Have there been any team changes?

‘Let’s make a decision considering the timing.’

I reflexively spit out the answer.

“Survival Program.”

“that’s right.”

Cheongryeo picked up her smartphone again.

“LeTi collaborated with Tnet… There was originally an in-house survival program at the agency.”

In the beginning, it helped to form a fandom, but more stimulating idol survival was rampant, and when Testa was active, it was a form of dead momentum.

But at this point, it’s still in vogue.

“But people’s minds are really difficult to control. Yes? The more unspecified the majority, the more variables you see.”

Cheongryeo’s eyes narrowed.

“So, from some point on, I just canceled it… .”

The guy put down his smartphone and said lightly.

“I’ll leave it alone this time.”

“… … !”

“Whoever survives there will debut.”

“that.”

“Reasonable, right? efficient.”

I swallowed. it’s X

– Let the winner of the in-house survival program debut.

At first glance, Cheong-ryeo’s words sound like freedom to give up influence over the group. Because we want to debut with whoever survives.

But it’s not true.

‘The influence this guy exerts on the agency is ridiculous.’

I don’t know if I caught a weakness, I remember all the butterfly effects, or I do both. It was certain nonetheless.

But could this guy just let the survival flow go by?

‘In the first place, that’s crazy.’

This guy must have seen a lot of what would happen if he left that survival alone.

‘I’ll definitely have a nominee.’

And this time, this guy will make up all the nominees. The VTIC selected by this guy as the best… To the extent of me replacing the main vocalist.

in short… That’s just a declaration of ‘I’ll make you X before debut’.

‘X feet.’

I hurriedly opened my mouth.
