Debut or Die

Chapter 438

If I can’t debut, I’ll get sick to death Episode 438

A senior from a club who used to drink alcohol suddenly appears as a fan of mine on a video call.

And this moment when my job is an idol.

Very embarrassing.

However, the mouth trained by many years of work experience makes the right sound.

“… yes. Seojin noona.”

[Yes.]

I’m going crazy.

When I saw Ryu Seo-jin’s face on the screen, which looked satisfied, I became more disturbed.

Although I remembered what that senior said at a drinking party, so I was able to successfully join the karaoke casting for < Azusa >.

‘That senior is an idol… Did you like it?’

I was busy making a living, so I didn’t know what the guys in the club like, but I think they mainly took pictures for their portfolios.

I’m sure I’ve never been given a job to film as a substitute.

however… .

‘just… Was it a secret for social life?’

It was even home.

If it is “Puppy Bear” that uploads pictures of Lee Se-jin and Park Moon-dae, it is an account that has taken many shots worthy of the name so much that I remember the name.

‘Looking at the interval between posting pictures and operating guidelines, it seemed that Testa was never the first idol.’

I don’t know if I didn’t know because I wasn’t interested or if that senior hid it well.

Anyway.

‘… Somehow, the composition seemed particularly natural.’

Was it because you learned something similar in the club? no let’s stop

‘Work, work.’

You should think of it as a grateful fan who participated in the event.

You can’t let anything weird creep in during a real-time video call that’s being recorded.

‘If you think only as a fan… .’

But here’s the question. Why did you put the story in me?

That’s not a big deal.

‘I like Sejin, but wasn’t I included in the film to increase the scale of sales?’

Then I realized what had happened.

‘… I couldn’t set the limit on 1 member application per person because the process was rushed.’

If you have a meticulous personality, you could have made a customized story for each member and put it in.

In this case, the Department of Journalism and Broadcasting is unconditionally advantageous.

… And the story that senior, no fan, told me is… .

-Can I really accept and love myself now that I took a similar career path as my sister in high school?

I wrote a very plausible story, comparing my experience of competing with my sister and my own low self-esteem to my experience of debuting in first place through a survival contest.

Of course, the identity of the older sister is Ryu Seo-rin, the writer of < Azusa >.

[First of all, my sister is a person with a very strong sense of purpose and good drive.]

I agree.

I almost twitched my eyes thinking of that aggro artisan writer who was in full swing.

However, he nodded his head rather carefully without showing off.

“You are a wonderful person.”

amaze yourself

[yes. So I think it was a bit difficult for me to work in the same field. It made me compare.]

Ryu Seo-jin didn’t even spit on his mouth and told the reconstructed story like a bridal department. It means a story like a fabricated cover letter.

Still, I could see a big trend, so I was comfortable with the answer.

“I think I thought that too when I first went to Idol Survival, looking at the other contestants.”

As I calmly boarded the flow, it gradually got better as if I was broadcasting a script.

And by the time the end approached, I had completely regained my pace.

“… Seeing that we are talking about our worries, I think that Seo Jin noona is just as good at driving.”

It is obvious, but it ended with a beautiful conclusion that it is okay to believe in yourself more and not compare yourself to those around you.

And the fans on the screen listen seriously, even though it must be an idol’s obvious broadcast-style feedback on a self-novel-level story.

“… … .”

okay.

Whether it’s a senior or not, don’t forget that that person is a hardcore fan who is willing to spend money and time on me… .

[Then, can I get the dog version of Mundae Fighting?]

My mouth trembled.

“… sure.”

‘X-foot real.’

I don’t know what to call this. Shame?

“go for it!”

But I was happy to pick up one cheek and flap my hands over my head to cheer them on.

I lost my mind, but after taking a few more motions unique to the fan signing event, the first call ended successfully.

-Tirik!

“… … .”

I feel like I’ve become ashes.

I was drained of energy and lay down on the floor for a while. The staff didn’t stop me. The door just burst open.

“Moondaemundae This is fun, right? It’s a bit meaningful~”

He exclaims quite excitedly, as if the guy who was hosting the room next door was waiting outside the door.

“I did it with your fan.”

“… ??”

It’s a pity that even if he came in a little prematurely, he would have benefited from the time he posted.

* * *

I was a little freaked out at the first ride, but there was nothing unreasonable about this job itself.

How many minutes do you sit at the pension with the staff and talk to the fans? I’ll do it even if I don’t take the money.

Even one member has only 7 fans. This is because, in order to select a video worthy of appearing on a concert VCR, it was agreed that one or two people would be picked up by receiving that number of famous people.

‘I think I could have pulled a little more.’

It’s a schedule of talking on the phone for 5 to 10 minutes per person and taking a 10-minute break in the middle, so it’s over in 2 hours. I feel like I’ve picked less young mulberries for what I’ve done.

I looked at the screen and smiled and nodded.

[Have you ever had a hard time staying at the dorm?]

No matter what answer you give, it’s a minefield, but I know there’s no malice.

“hmm… There was a time when the members were not allowed to enter the room when insects came out, so we stayed together in the living room.”

The answer is an alumni book answer that seems to be related.

[omg! Who?]

Good, you caught it.

We finished another video call by sharing an anecdote like that.

I picked and randomly selected several stories with a clear cause and effect structure among the stories that people could relate to.

So, like before, half of the people who hadn’t even thought about talking to an idol on the phone were able to do so, so it was quite refreshing.

Of course, there were also faces I saw often.

Surprisingly, the first home run came out in the fourth or fifth.

[Hello, Moondae!]

“Is it the story that other idols have fallen in love with me?”

[…] ?! oh no… ??]

This is a joke. It was a story about dropping out of high school due to career problems with a friend.

However, less than 3 minutes after the start, it turned into a typical fan signing event rather than consultation, but I accepted the conversation without interrupting.

[Thank you so much Moondae, we’ll see you again!]

I just wanted to do that.

And I felt it all over again.

‘… It’s been a while.’

It’s been a long time since I’ve done something like this with Testa. In terms of experience, it has been well over a year.

Even after the system was destroyed and returned, we didn’t release an album and only toured.

It was a new feeling to feel so directly that I was a testa.

“… … .”

Let’s continue to work hard without taking anything out. After calmly correcting my hair style, I stared at my smartphone again.

It was already the last consultation.

And this person…

[Oh hello! Wow!]

“… !”

What was reflected on the screen was the face I had seen a few days ago.

The person I saw with the light of a cheering stick between the dark concrete walls.

“… hello.”.

I am a fan of being a graduate student

[It’s the first time I’ve won something like this!]

He has a bright face who has never experienced a collapsed building. I clasped my hands under the table.

The excited fan shared her personal stories before speaking out about her concerns.

It was a story I already knew. It was because those were the words I heard over the collapsing furnishings room at that time.

It seems that he originally had such a bright and optimistic personality.

I said nonchalantly.

“… You are a graduate student.”

[Yes!]

I was worried about my studies, so I chose it because I thought that a new perspective would come out if I talked about it from the perspective of Park Moon-dae, who took the GED.

[But I do not recommend… .]

It was about graduate school.

I smiled faintly.

“I think it is a great thing to have research or study that you want to do. So, noona is a great person.”

[Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.]

It sounds a bit strange, but I hear it every time at a fan signing event, so I wonder what it is.

I listened and responded with the utmost sincerity, just as I did with those before me.

When we announced the end, the graduate student said this with her eyes shining with a face that had less tension.

[thank you. really… ! Actually, I’m still thinking about it, but I think I get the strength to overcome these worries from Moondae and Testa, really.]

A fan on the screen smiles brightly.

“No, thank you very much.”

It really wasn’t bad.

And after hanging up the phone, I realized that this fan didn’t ask me for any lines or poses.

You couldn’t pick

‘this’ .

Maybe I’ll see you at the next fan signing event.

Anyway, the video call that started at 7:00 p.m. ended almost at night.

After going out of the room and taking the ending cut… It was the end of today’s shoot.

“You worked hard~”

“It was fun!”

Thanks to the hard work, the staff also have bright expressions. The same goes for the members.

“I think it would be nice to hold a fan meeting occasionally in this format. After all, standing in line at the site doesn’t feel like having a one-on-one conversation.”

“It’s about diversifying the way we meet our fans by using modern culture.”

“I like… !”

It must have been a lot of fun.

I smiled and turned the screen to find today’s review.

– I was asked to recommend a book for my major to Bae Se, but I do not take any questions.

– Requested a heart challenge from Chung-woo

. call me sister Clavicle knit Son Min-soo It seems that I

had a memorable experience here as well.

I flipped through my smartphone while reading Keun Se-jin’s review of ‘KakaoTalk Boyfriend Profiler’ and Cha Yu-jin’s review of ‘Top 1 Spanish Instructor for Travel’.

The last guy asked quietly.

“Dae-hyung Moon, are you happy right now?”

“okay.”

It means that it is thanks to the person who stole the smartphone, so please remember it well and do something delicious.

And not only Cha Yu-jin, but the atmosphere was already on the verge of a dinner party.

“Can you deliver here? If not, I can go out and buy it.”

“Oh, we’ll go. I was just about to go to the mart.”

The donation concert staff who interrupted the conversation shouted that they would be happy to buy pizza.

I’m grateful, but I wonder if he’s running away because he doesn’t like going out with strangers. As an employee, it’s a natural thing.

Anyway, it was after seeing off the staff who went out like that.

“Then let’s set the table before we come… .”

“Ohhhh the cat is here again! We are in charge of this cat!”

“Eujin-ah, Bae Se-jin hyung is allergic to cat hair… .”

“Oh.”

open for a while… No, when I passed the cat version and proceeded to prepare for the dinner party to some extent.

Ding-dong

The doorbell rang. The guys who put their cups raise their heads.

“hmm?”

“Are you here already?”

Could it be that it was 10 minutes ago when the staff left. The pizza wouldn’t even have gone into the oven.

‘Looks like he left something behind.’

“I will go.”

I stepped out to the sin closest to the front door.

Ding-Dong.

Because I knew.

I quickly changed my pace and immediately grabbed the front doorknob.

Click.

And light and sound poured in from the crack of the open door.

“hi!”

This voice… .

“Surprise~”

“Wow applause”

“… !!”

I stiffened.

VTIC guys in plain clothes were standing outside the front door of the pension.

what.

“Hello Mr. Mundae!”

What is the situation?

Cheongryeo smiled brightly and waved her hand.

Even thinking about it, I want this to be a fucking description, but it is reality.

And the cause looks backward.

Glowing lights above the camera twinkle. And holding that light… These are the staff who left earlier.

‘oh.’

At the same time, grasping the situation, I slowly lowered my hand that was about to clenched into a fist.

Actually, as a surprise, we agreed to do a simple stage at the end of the donation concert VCR… ..

‘… Did you intend to do this?’

I didn’t expect that we would be surprised like this.

“I’m here for a special stage with Testa!”

In front of the lighting, Jin Chae-yul smiled and waved his hand.

‘Is there anything you can’t see after going to the army?’

It was a strange, somewhat upsetting reunion. But… .

“… … welcome.”

“… !”

There’s nothing wrong with it.

I smiled and stepped aside.

Let’s do it.
