Debut or Die

Chapter 440

If I can’t debut, I’ll get sick to death Episode 440

It’s already been more than 5 years since I debuted and celebrated the end of the year. At this point, a pattern emerges where everyone prepares for awards ceremonies and year-end music programs.

1. The type that prepares leisurely.

With many years of experience, the mind is relaxed and the body is the type to roll hard.

Or because you roll your body hard, you can afford it.

“Whoa, even if you take a little more time to learn the next move… I think it will be fine.”

“Okay~ Then I’ll skip it and fix it from part B to what we do today. Chung Woo-hyung, are you okay?”

“huh. Shall we increase the practice time then?”

“I see.”

Most of them belong to it. Next.

2. The type that prepares impatiently.

Because he has a lot of worries about making mistakes, he is the type to be immersed in anguish whenever he is comfortable worrying about the number of various cases.

“Is it because of me that you are trying to learn over time? No, don’t answer. Either way, you can do your best. Yes, because it gave me a lot of time… .”

“Brother, I think if you allocate that much time to the bridge movement, it means that the choreography points are shifted there! Then my pre-arrangement would sound unnatural… … ”

“Stop.”

… If you cut it moderately, you will be influenced by the number 1 guys and calm down.

“When you rest, don’t think about anything.”

“but… .”

“Do not.”

I made their break time like a break time.

And the next type to which the smallest number belongs is… .

3. The type to play leisurely

[You know hyung, right? Cramming is like a kind of cheating, right?]

“Okay?”

“Hi-Hi!”

He practiced because his colleague told him to do it, but in fact, other than matching the group dance, his movements and gestures are at the same level as he is on stage.

“Originally, your own skills are important!”

“… Does that mean there is no point in practicing for those who can’t do that?”

“Nope! Effort will become your original skill.”

“Hmmmm.”

You have a good mouth.

Anyway, these guys got together and the preparations for the year-end are going well as always.

“stop!”

“Eat Rabin Kim!”

I looked back at the practice video I had just taken, avoiding the dried sweet potato that Yujin Cha had thrown at Raebin Kim. I’m fine.

“… … hmm.”

And in fact, if you categorize it like this, there was also the last number.

4 times.

He’s the type to play while nervous.

However, there is no such person in this group.

This is a situation that everyone experiences once while preparing for the exam, but it is a slander that heals naturally when you receive money.

In other words, we who receive money are not applicable.

However, I am in other fields where I do not receive money. It’s because there are situations where you can’t use your hands even though you’re nervous.

“Could it be that riding a national medal is the next abnormal condition?”

-yes?

Weekend night after practice. I lingered in the bathtub drinking a cold non-alcoholic beer.

Of course, I’m not doing this alone like a madman, I’m holding a waterproof smartphone.

“Isn’t it strange that I care so much about a medal that allows me to postpone for a few years, not military exemption?”

-Because it’s not. Bro, not really!

The big moon beyond the phone almost screamed. It’s been a long time since I’ve been communicating with voice, but it definitely makes me feel different from the chat pop-up.

Anyway, this guy’s opinion is the same. No matter how much I searched, I couldn’t find anything strange about me.

And the reason I’m obsessed with national decorations is… .

-… Basically, everyone doesn’t want to go to the military.

“… … .”

– As time approaches.

that… yes.

Even since I go twice, I become obsessed with it as time approaches, like an unavoidable physiological phenomenon.

The guy who did it originally knows more X-like things.

By the way.

“You don’t know all that well about a guy who won’t go anymore.”

-sorry.

I’m sorry, but I’ve changed with my old body, but I need to get a military exemption to make ends meet.

And I know that what this guy knows well is not the military.

“No, I’m sure you’re convinced by just looking at my opponent.”

-yes! That’s it!

The big moon explained without breathing.

-I really immersed myself to the point where it almost became the status window again, and thoroughly looked it over, but there is no trace of system 1/4 on you! really!

Yes, I know.”

the wall will come down I admitted, lowering the call volume.

“Then what about mission failure?”

-… It’s not.

Because I knew.

I decided not to bring up this subject any more after Keundal rapped that he would check my condition book regularly.

‘If I feel bad like last time, I’ll have to run unconditionally in the direction where there are no people.’

And as this process has passed, the exciting year-end tax settlement period has finally arrived.

“Moondaemundae~ December 20th is the payment date for the 3rd quarter, right?”

“uh.”

No, not this settlement, but

the time when what we have done over the past year is evaluated by grades, which are quantitative figures, and awareness, which is qualitative figures.

okay. Finally, it’s the awards ceremony.

“Artist of the Year… Testa!”

“Congratulations!”

“This is the album target testa.”

“The last target singer of the year is… congratulations. Testa.”

Puffup!

Numerous firecrackers, drum roll calls, and testa’s representative song of the year, which is played with cheers and background sounds.

“thank you! We will work harder!”

“We will comeback soon!”

Shouts and applause cheers.

At each awards ceremony they attended, each of them neatly received one target item. This is because the company did not send out awards ceremonies that do not give the grand prize.

Well, that’s efficient.

And at the company I returned to, I was greeted by people from the same company while moving to take promotional photos displaying the trophies.

“brother! Hey~”

Spacer Newly debuted female idol, AR team staff, management team leader…

until beforehand.

“congratulations!”

“Congratulations… .”

It is an amazing industry that celebrates even when competitors look at you with eyes that want to break your head and take the target trophy as mine.

“… Seong Ha-rin, my junior? Do you hate us?”

“I guess so.”

Anyway, the end of the year was pretty fun without any special incidents.

Is there anyone who doesn’t like receiving an award for doing well? It was well-received as much as it prepared a special stage.

-The Testa Saber stage is crazy.

-What do you mean by that? sword dance? I almost drool while watching –

It was the taste of the heyday, like the end of hardship and adversity on the

stage of Testa T1A, which is currently being built into popular real-time videos .

… Of course, unfortunately, it does not mean that we won the grand prize in all target fields.

The sound source is Youngrin’s album, VTIC.

Even after VTIC went to the army, this composition was still solid.

Because the leader stayed and attended the awards ceremony.

“thank you.”

Chung Ryeo came to the most prestigious awards ceremony at the end of this year wearing a navy blue semi-suit for the red carpet, not a stage outfit.

“I would like to give all the congratulations and joy of receiving awards to the members I am grateful for who are faithfully fulfilling their duties.”

He didn’t seem shy or in a hurry to attend alone.

Instead, as always, it was appropriate without the slightest tension, and there seemed to be no gaps in it.

And I also threw out this hint.

“We will show you what you expect next year.”

Wow!

“thank you.”

Applause rang towards Cheongryeo, who lowered her head slightly. Keun Se-jin, who had a respectful smile, believed in the magnificent BGM and whispered.

“You mean you’re going to release a solo album?”

“huh.”

I’m going to dogfight again.

Besides, if it’s that guy, it’s like hinting at the VTIC group or sneaking in songs that will later be arranged into group songs as build-up… I will bet on the ‘Colorful K-Pop Star Award’.

I stared at the sloppy-looking plaque on the table.

It is an item that was suddenly created this year to appease the sponsoring company. We got it without any reason or grades.

‘In the time to make something like this, I’ll make a rookie award or subdivide it.’

Still, it will probably disappear next year, so isn’t it rare?

“It’s a prize. congratulation.”

“yes.”

Even Chung-ryeo, whom I met backstage, praised this award.

I politely handed over the plaque to the staff who took care of the award. Then Cheongryeo, who had been watching it without much agitation, opened her mouth.

nonsensical words.

“Didn’t you hear the good news?”

what?

“Does your dog give birth to puppies?”

“Hmm junior, did you fall asleep during science class?”

I mean what bullshit. This is the same sentiment.

I looked at him to get it right. Cheong-rye stared at me as if she was thinking for a moment, then smiled slightly.

“Um, it doesn’t matter.”

“yes?”

“No, I mean I want you to let me know if there is any good news.”

why.

“Because I’m curious.”

With that said, he left the awards ceremony in his car. And sent a short video via text message. with a message.

-happy birthday. (Video)

“… … .”

The video was about a dog receiving a new cushion instead of a broken one.

‘What do you mean?’

Of course, I thought it would be fun if asked, so I left it alone.

At this point, you must have learned that if anything makes me X, then I become X too.

Anyway, the last Music Awards held that year ended with numerous temporary awards put in for award distribution.

All that remains… .

“We are making a comeback!!”

Yes.

It’s a new activity in the new year.

We will make a comeback in January when all the results can be fully reflected.

And we plan to use a method that can draw much more attention than regular music broadcasts and spend a lot of time.

as soon as.

“We will make a comeback at the awards ceremony in January.”

“Yeah!”

Even though we already know, the reaction is hot. It was clear that everyone was excited because it was a comeback after a long time.

In fact, there was almost pressure from the head office to make a comeback at ToneA in December, but an offer came in. Because that’s their awards ceremony.

But we vetoed that opinion.

“It was good that you protested that you couldn’t pick up the quality of the stage until then!”

“A correct judgment has been made!”

“Happy New year Comeback? It’s the best!”

… It may seem a little overly excited, but it was amazing to see them humming and practicing all night, already intoxicated with the taste of victory.

“… good. Yes, I think it will work out unconditionally!”

“brother! I have a jinx!”

“… ?!”

“just joke.”

“hey!”

So, on Monday, January 9th, right before our comeback, we will go on a New Year’s Eve late-night radio schedule.

Of course, this is all calculated behavior.

“It’s not really publicity, it’s kind of viral.”

“I like how it’s a little anomaly without being overly daring!”

Talk is the main content, so we can say as much as we want to say. Isn’t it an annual car to be scared of on the radio now?

And I want to give the fans the pleasure of guessing and guessing which album will come out.

Because it is a limited medium, there is no worry that the promotional effect will be consumed there.

‘It’s a kind of eve.’

I smiled and said hello in the media room in front of the radio booth.

“i look forward to.”

“Wow! yes!”

The writers and staff welcomed the group more than expected, and everything went smoothly.

“The testers are scheduled to deploy in 16 minutes!”

“yes!”

We sat down on a sofa outside and waited for entry. As it was a surprise appearance, it was planned to make it feel like an intrusion.

“Moondae, this… .”

“ah. thanks.”

I rubbed the stress ball Seon Ah-hyun held out.

And slowly blinked his eyes.

‘There’s nothing to do during this waiting time.’

You may miss the timing while thinking about something else, so this is the time when you wake up and do nothing at the same time.

All you can do is organize in your head what to say on the radio.

blink.

‘First of all, say hello and manage the audio… ‘

Blink.

‘Kim Rae-bin was excited and made sure not to spoil the song too much.’

Blink-bak

‘The last time I said hello, Bae Se-jin… .’

blink.

I see a dark ceiling. I closed and opened my eyes again.

blink.

It is as it is.

“… … .”

It’s dark for a second?

“… !!”

I got up. And I realized I was lying down.

‘what?’

It was a bed. no bed?

‘what’s this.’

I groped my hand and got under the bed.

‘fire.’

Beep.

When you press the button on the wall, the light comes on.

And the scene of a comfortable bedroom was revealed.

“… … !”

A room with a poster of Testa.

I don’t think I’ve seen the structure anywhere, but I think first of all… .

I mean, I suddenly woke up in a different place.

“Whoa.”

I took a deep breath.

Honestly, I’ve been through all sorts of things now, so I didn’t think I’d be surprised if something crazy happened… .

‘No matter what, what could happen without a sign like this?’

No pop-ups, no status windows, not even any psychological signs!

‘First of all, from the status window… ‘

It was then.

[Hyung!]

“Ugh.”

A voice rang in my head. The vibration-like sound contains meaning and

‘vibration?’

And I realized that the vibration through which meaning is transmitted is something I have already experienced.

When Keun-dal, who was studying public examinations with Ryu Gun-woo’s body, sometimes lost the initiative and I used my body.

“… no way.”

hey let’s do this

I held back my sleep and thought I wanted to reply to this voice in my head.

OK.

Whiik.

Strange calculations and processes pass in an instant in my head, and then a pop-up appears in front of my eyes.

[_____]

What is this?

[What is this_]

Stop knowing.

‘This is a chat pop-up.’

That’s what the big moon used to send me.

And the meaning is one.

“Damn it.”

I realized that my voice was familiar in a different way, and then I picked up my smartphone and checked my face with the front camera.

“… … .”

That’s Ryu Gun-woo, X-foot… .

“Damn it.”

[brother? Could it be that hyung is my body right now?]

“Yes!”

Hey, I have no system left!

I think that thought just went to the pop-up chat, but I skipped it… Let’s think what can I do?

‘Connect’

Keundal can access the status window of Park Moon-dae! while sharing views.

I don’t know if I can do it though. let’s try

‘that is… Is it okay if I call the status window?’

I focused my thoughts.

Park Moondae status window system access connection… .

connection.

[-CONNECT-]

And.

Visions and sensations come to mind. It was the sense of Moondae Park, who is on standby for the radio.

It was right that I could use the sense sharing that Daedal said.

‘after.’

Fortunately, it was only for a moment that I felt relieved.

… A hologram appeared in the shared vision of Moondae Park.

The familiar status window pop-up.

[Unexpected!]

Abnormal state mission failed: Return to original state

-Everything back to normal as if nothing had happened

: Until the end 23:59:59 (1day)

“… … .”

[I’m really sorry, I don’t know what’s going on! All I can hear here is that the mission failed… .]

And I instinctively realized what this was all about.

Ah X feet.

“It was with you.”

[Yes??]

“You said it was.”

This damn system 1/4 status ailment was triggered by him, not me… .

Even with the body changing 10 minutes before the radio stand-by!

[Aagh!]

That was the beginning.
