Debut or Die

Chapter 450

If you don’t debut, you’ll get a fatal disease. Episode 450

Seeing Chung-rye at the awards ceremony is nothing new.

Whether it’s VTIC or Testa, since their debut, they’ve never had a performance they wouldn’t be proud of at an awards ceremony.

But it had been a very long time since I had seen it from this location.

So in the composition where I take a camera and take a picture of him from the audience.

‘… hmm.’

Cheong-Ryeo was wearing a suit.

He is still a guy who feels like the unit price would be good. I’ve been there for decades, so maybe it’s natural momentum.

‘It’s not like I’m going to sell it anymore.’

I left a few sheets out of habit.

It was then.

“… !”

Cheongryeo turned her gaze. And slowly he raised his hand.

“… … .”

light hand greetings.

Unfortunately, the direction is the audience seat near where I am.

To the extent that it feels as if our eyes met through the viewfinder.

‘… no way.’

… … Did you notice?

no Does that bastard even make sense in a situation where there are no hints?

‘What can I see with the GM function that will remain in that guy… .’

At that moment, a pop-up appeared in front of my eyes.

[brother! Are you here?]

It’s a big month.

“… ! okay.”

As I opened my mouth to answer, I replied inwardly, ignoring the gaze from the seat next to me.

‘Hasn’t VTIC sitting next to you talked to you?’

[uh… no? It’s not like I’m talking or not. … Shall I talk to you?]

‘No.’

just dodge it

[Whew.]

What did you ask while you were about to breathe a sigh of relief?

I shook my head and answered.

‘You don’t have to worry about that. It’s okay as long as you sit quietly.’

Unlike the radio, there are no comments, so there is only one role. sit nice.

[Right?]

Then.

Oh right.

‘Be sure to concentrate when other singers are on stage.’

This is because the stomach tube may be covered with it the moment you yawn or frown.

‘Even if I can’t help but relax once or twice… .’

[…] I’ll never relax!]

I’d like to tell you there’s no such thing as that, but it’s actually the best way. Let’s do some cheering.

I picked up the camera I had removed from my eyes and turned it back to the singer’s seat.

Cheong-rye had already turned her gaze toward the road stage.

‘Was it an illusion?’

I clicked my tongue briefly and took a few more shots of Testana.

The same goes for Park Moondae, where the big moon is located. A guy with a lot of spirit is quite… It seemed plausible.

that you followed me

‘… Is this how it feels?’

I kept pressing the shutter without a word.

It was a bit strange for me to film Testa Park Moondae myself.

“Hey, I’m sorry, but give me your hand.”

“yes.”

During that time, the person sitting next to me bumped into my arm several times. He’s a pretty reckless photographer.

I turned my shoulders and glanced at the person who was talking to me.

Seeing that the shooting angle is similar, this person is also taking a testa… … .

“… !!”

… That’s right.

It’s a familiar face.

The problem was that it was a face that Ryu Gun-woo also knew.

‘… Ryu Seo-jin.’

Sitting next to him is a senior from the same photography club in college. < Azusa > Writer Ryu Seo-rin’s younger sister.

therefore… It’s a home mom who takes a big picture with me.

* * *

‘The lights are garbage.’

Ryu Seo-jin grumbled and set the camera. There were a lot of people around him with cameras similar to his own.

It’s probably because this location is perfect for taking pictures.

‘Besides, this awards ceremony is easy to film without having to hold an audience with a camera.’

The people who were taking pictures flocked in droves.

It was the same with the seat next to him. A well-built man wearing a black mask was holding a camera.

However, it was a little strange that he was dressed in a black suit. Anyone can see that it is a healthy and neat ‘work’ outfit.

‘Are they related?’

That’s why I don’t have a pass around my neck, but I could have kept it in my pocket.

You can guess how old he is by looking at his age, but… .

‘How are you?’

She was too busy taking pictures of idol faces, and it didn’t matter what the face of the man next to her looked like.

Ryu Seo-jin fixed his gaze on the camera again.

‘Did these bastards fight?’

I thought that it would be difficult to get a good two-shot between Lee Se-jin and Park Moon-dae because they seemed strangely distant.

And soon the stage began.

[This is the spacer for the Hot Performance Award of the Year.]

Several groups of singers line up on stage.

Of the hundreds of thousands of groups that were active last year, only about 20 teams came here, but even within them, the ranks and positions were divided.

‘The exchange quantity must match.’

Deciding to exchange data with other singers in other seats, she put a lot of effort into taking pictures of several teams.

However, he didn’t have the loyalty or stamina to film a team he wasn’t interested in. Because I’m an office worker who just got off work.

‘Should I do this?’

Besides, Testa was also absent from the singer’s seat for a while, so she rubbed her shoulders and lowered the camera for a moment.

and saw the moment

click.

The flashy camera of the man in the suit sitting next to you.

‘… That’s it.’

ruler… Take good pictures.

You can tell just by looking at the camera.

Stable support, smooth movement, and skillful operation.

Besides, from the camera angle… … .

‘… You only shoot the ones that will sell the best, right?’

It’s not just a picture of a popular member.

Demand soars in the supply and demand line of data, so only those who are in an exquisite period of shortage of supply are found and filmed.

For example, a member like Mirinae’s Park Min-ha.

Recently, in a variety show he appeared as an individual, he appealed to the light fan base rather than the public, and his fandom popularity rose instantly.

Or a member who is so good at the stage that the demand is constantly overflowing. I was only aiming for idols like that.

‘what.’

It was an impossible action unless you were completely familiar with this board.

‘Is that an official or a data arm?’

He is currently a first-team idol, but he is a former data arm.

Twin Homma, who couldn’t even guess that fact, just clicked her tongue and regretted it.

‘I wish I could have sat on the other side.’

The angle was almost the same as the one I took, so there was no need to buy that data.

‘Well, if it was that way in the first place, among the testers, Cha Yu-jin would have taken it.’

Thinking nonchalantly, she was about to recheck her data, but suddenly realized.

‘… ?’

The man next to me in a suit… Strangely, the habit of taking pictures was familiar to me.

resemble yourself

‘Hmm.’

I looked closely again.

To be precise, it wasn’t just him. At first glance, I could see things like tips and attitudes shared by members of the club.

‘Come to think of it, somehow the physique seems familiar… .’

In the end, it was the moment when she tried to carefully check Ryu Gun-woo’s face.

“Hey Younglin!”

A voice called from the back seat.

At the name of such a famous singer, she reflexively turned her head to the stage.

Indeed, Youngrin was coming up on stage.

‘already?’

It should come out a little later, in terms of yearly leave or grades. Was it after Testa in the leaked cue sheet?

However, if you look closely, it was during the stage of her juniors that Youngrin appeared.

It was a kind of surprise featuring stage.

‘oh.’

Youngrin neatly entered the performance formation.

Although she was very successful as a solo artist, it was a stage where you could feel that Youngrin was originally a member of a group.

‘My juniors are pushing me away.’

If it was intended to encourage juniors, it was a failure of the agency. It was time for Ryu Seo-jin to make a cool evaluation.

Youngrin looked this way and gestured.

“Aagh!”

“Young Rin!!”

The surroundings became noisy as if my ears would burst from the surround sound. Each seemed to think they had met their eyes.

Usually, in this case, ‘Youngrin-nim saw me!’ Ryu’s mistake, but… .

‘hmm?’

Seojin Ryu slightly frowned.

I didn’t think I saw myself.

‘Youngrin… Didn’t you see the data pal sitting next to me?’

* * *

[Thank you!]

I took a few more shots of the award-winning testa on stage.

It’s like a habit, but there is also an intention to check Keundal’s attitude one more time.

‘It’s fine.’

Even though I gave it a good grade, I didn’t bother to take the camera away from my face.

In fact, there is one more reason to keep doing this.

‘… Cover your face.’

Just in case Ryu Seo-jin recognizes me. Well, since I’m wearing a mask and it’s been a few years, I think there’s little chance.

‘Should I be more careful until I change my body?’

I carefully decided to film all kinds of idols with a camera.

Naturally, the unit price rankings are automatically updated in the head, as was the habit of the data arm days, but one of the highest ranking female idols appeared a little earlier.

‘Younglin.’

The main character of the first great fancam that made me earn tuition for one semester. I wonder if Youngrin, who was unknown, also emerged because of that.

‘It was a fancam filmed on a rainy day.’

Without much thought, I continued to stare through the viewfinder.

It was then.

Youngrin pointed at my camera with her hand.

“… … !”

I froze with the camera for a moment.

If I’m not mistaken… .

‘Could I remember?’

No way.

That was about 10 years ago. There’s no way he still remembers it, and even if he did, how could he have recognized it right away at this moment?

‘but… … .’

Right before the final ending, Youngrin looked away again when she was not caught by the broadcast camera.

-Remember me

eye contact. and hand shape.

It was a familiar hand gesture.

The signature gesture of the song that was captured on the rainwater fancam I filmed at the time.

This… It couldn’t have been an illusion.

“… … .”

-Wow!!

The stage ended with cheers. Youngrin’s gaze also disappeared along with the lighting.

however… I felt strange.

‘How do I remember.’

I wasn’t even a fan at the time. After that, there were times when I took pictures of Youngrin a few times at events, but there was never anything like that.

I thought it was a matter of seat selection that made direct cams with amazingly good eye contact.

perhaps… .

‘… Did it leave an impression?’

I mean the audience holding the camera that took the direct cam that made them rise.

I thought it was bullshit before, but now I know.

that there is a possibility.

‘Because we’re doing the same thing.’

That feeling when you look at the audience on stage, when you look at your own fancam, when you look at people’s reactions.

And no matter how you feel when you see the camera of a fancam that has returned after a few years.

“… … .”

I lowered the camera.

And I saw the time displayed at the top of the screen.

-PM 11:21

‘Ah.’

The time has come.

I took a slow breath and counted down.

That moment.

Flash.

“… after.”

I closed and opened my eyes.

perspective has changed. sound too.

– Wow!

Cheers resounded from a seat a little farther away, not right next to it like before.

I was sitting in the singer’s seat next to the speaker.

and.

“It came just in time.”

There was a hand tapping on my shoulder. It’s Ryu Cheng-wu.

When he raised his head, he seemed to notice that the other guys were also checking the time.

“… ! Moondae hyung”

“Are you okay?”

of course.

I nodded my head as I looked around, not awkwardly in the appropriate line.

The members greeted each other as quietly as possible by grinning or handing out water.

If it wasn’t for the singer’s seat, it would have made more noise.

‘And with this, I would have asked if the body change was over.’

Actually, I’m also curious… .

“… … .”

I didn’t see any popups and turned it off first.

Elements that will affect the stage are blocked for now.

‘It’s the same over there.’

When I turned my head, the seat at VTIC where Cheongryeo had been sitting earlier was right next to it.

But the seat was already empty. It’s because he also woke up to prepare for the stage.

‘okay.’

it was better Right now, there is only one thing that is most urgent.

Because it’s about time now.

[Singer of the Year / Album – 2nd Quarter]

[Congratulations.]

[Testa / Savior (Jikimi)]

A few minutes later.

I went backstage to go up on stage.

The long awaited comeback stage was right in front of them.

* * *

“Wait a minute over there.”

“Yes yes?”

“Oh right. Ryu Gun-woo.”

“… ??”

“It’s been a while. You’re still doing this.”

‘… brother!!’

… For reference, I couldn’t have imagined that Keundal was going through something like this in the audience.
