Debut or Die

Chapter 575

If you can’t debut, you’ll get a fatal disease Episode 575

The big moon has disappeared.

Ryu Gun-woo is missing… The phone calls

– Sir! Stay calm. You need to be calm so we can talk.

A voice over the smartphone rang in my head. tell me to stay calm

As always with bad news.

“yes.”

– You didn’t know about the fact that you were absent.

“yes.”

– When was the last time you contacted your brother?

I reflexively recalled.

The last contact with the big moon.

After the joint concert in Singapore where Testa appeared was aired, I got a call from him saying that I had a good time.

– The ending was really cool.

It was a greeting saying that he had seen me appearing in the ending and that he was doing well.

that… … .

“Three days ago.”

There is a bit of urgency in the voice over the smartphone.

-Your younger brother wants to go to a specific place differently than usual, he wants to see the sun… Didn’t you mention something like this?

“… … .”

There was no

just… When asked about the current situation of Testa Park Moon-dae, he only replied that he was doing well.

– Of course I’m doing well.

That was it.

The guy didn’t say anything about himself. not even one.

Same as X.

“… no.”

A short silence settled deep.

The voice that seemed to soothe the other person but suppressed the nervous irritation came from the other side of the phone again.

-… The teacher’s younger brother has been absent from work for five days already.

five days.

-We found the smartphone by tracking the cell phone location today. And I heard a sighting that he went to the mountain yesterday, so I’m looking for him.

-It’s a little past the stage where you think there’s anything special about a grown man.

“… … .”

-Teacher, you said that you contacted your younger brother three days ago, right? That’s what I contacted during absenteeism.

He said he was already absent from work then.

this winter… He said he went into the mountain alone.

why.

-Sir, you are the only person who has a contact record from that time.

“… … .”

– You have to think calmly now. As the night progresses, the temperature drops, making it difficult to search. The last sighting is also a day later, so finding it quickly is the best way now.

I had to figure out what the hell he was going to and where he was headed.

‘… … now.’

I looked up.

I saw a huge electronic wall clock marked with red LED lights on a black background.

[17:04]

5:04 PM.

It is the time right before the winter sun sets in early February when the cold wave hits.

and… … .

56 minutes before the start of the Testa concert.

Tick.

It gets smaller.

-Now, the only family member stored in this phone is the teacher.

-The mountain was not specified. The search is faster when you narrow down the scope of where Mr. Ryu Gun-woo was trying to go at the time.

Tick.

therefore… 56 minutes left until the concert, no, now I have to say something within 55 minutes.

– Or is there anyone else who gets along like family? Who did you meet recently?

Tick.

“As far as I know, no.”

Keundal has no direct biological family. As Park Moon-dae and Ryu Gun-woo,

he was not very interested in building friendships with other people because he had been in the system for a long time.

So, I am the closest.

Yeah, if I had to find a hint from what he said, or someone to guess his mindset, I’d be the only one.

I had to look for hints.

-then… Teacher, first of all, just say anything that comes to mind during the conversation that day.

but.

Tick.

“You seem calmer than before.”

-And what?

does not exist.

this… It was over.

I haven’t heard a word about the mountain from him.

“… … .”

‘Why don’t you know anything?’

why?

It’s not too late this time

I didn’t check for missed calls that were over after a few hours. If you seem to have answered the phone on time, but answering it doesn’t change anything… … .

‘no.’

The smartphone hit the chin.

I realized that my hands were shaking.

‘X feet.’

My brain just couldn’t turn.

I’m trying to roll my head to find clues about what Keundal thought and where he was heading, but he doesn’t listen at the moment when it should roll the best than ever.

You’re good at fucking things like this.

‘hey.’

There’s no time.

Still didn’t move.

The sound of my heart beating hits my head.

Brain efficiency has hit rock bottom. Didn’t move.

Tick.

But time doesn’t wait.

therefore… What if I’m late again?

What if my brain starts thinking after the concert has already started?

Tick.

Can you make time to contact me during the show? no, there is no room for that During the 5 minutes of changing clothes, replenishing water, and putting on an oxygen mask, there is no way a phone call can be made normally. There is not even a moment to hold onto the phone during such a tight time.

then… I

tick

I

– teacher? calm down.

“Hueup.”

I took a short breath.

– Now, breathe out. Listen. We can still search at night, so don’t be too pessimistic… .

-This is the 119th Mountain Rescue Team of the Incheon Ganghwa Fire Station. If you search for the address, it will appear right away, so you can continue the conversation as you come. Calmly, calmly.

“… … .”

The rescuers explain the way to come as if it were natural.

The premise was that I was so distracted that I forgot to ask for the address.

The moment I heard it, I would immediately jump out, grab a taxi, and go to the place where the search operation was conducted… reasonable expectation.

but.

‘I am… .’

I have to do a concert.

Testa poured ideas and investment into this tour like a regular album. Maybe it’s a risky time that might separate the team’s downtrend and uptrend.

And this was the first performance that would determine the impression of the entire tour.

When I went out of this waiting room right away, there were people sitting in the audience seats. People looking forward to the show are packed out there ready for today.

In addition, this concert adopted a story that organically connects each member’s stage by emphasizing the character of each member.

But if I fall

What is the stage for my solo song? what about large? How the hell do I handle my part? Who will fill that void? I wasn’t even prepared for anything.

The perfection of the performance will be smashed.

The rating of the tour is ruined.

And the fans’ reputation for Testa.

-Wow, I’m

still going to have a concert even if

my bones go out .

So, if I had at least three days, or at least one day… .

I looked down and looked at my hand.

The tightly clenched knuckles were white.

There was no cold sweat.

I opened my mouth.

“I am… I am at work.”

-yes?

The response was that it was absurd.

Two who are convinced that they heard it wrong.

I guess so. My family is missing, but who is saying that it is hard to talk because I am at work?

who… I couldn’t get that phone call, so every year on that day, I would feel like X and come to my dreams every day.

I.

I… just like that

“… … .”

Suddenly, the sense of reality returned.

I am now… Am I worrying about how much I reached my goal while receiving a phone call saying that a family member might have died?

this now… what?

“It’s Moondae… !”

I am… But if you think rationally.

“Park Moondae!”

“… !”

He lifted his head into the hand holding his shoulders.

It was Seon Ah-hyun.

Strangely, I reflexively felt that the place he was holding was hot, but then I realized that I was bluish-blue as if I had lost blood.

In this state, I could not have turned my head.

“… … .”

Seon Ah-hyun seemed to be thoroughly examining my complexion, but soon let go of her hand.

But a firm voice was heard.

“I think I am sick.”

“what?”

The surroundings were noisy.

Only then did I manage to turn my attention away from my smartphone.

Now was the time to go out to wait. However, when I was stuck here and on the phone, it seemed that the people who were watching came pouring in.

And my eyes are focused on the smartphone in my hand.

“Who is calling?”

I had no answer to Seon Ah-hyun’s question.

It was because a trembling voice was already coming out of the smartphone.

-… yes. Then, I know that the family is busy, and we will continue the search.

“… search?”

The atmosphere changed once more at the unusual word.

“I’m sorry, but who are you looking for?”

-yes?

I took my smartphone and looked at the guys who started chatting among themselves.

members of this group.

Looking at those faces ahead of the concert, my breath and head finally started to sink.

“… … .”

After breaking through the panic, an obvious answer emerged in my head.

It was obvious.

‘There’s nothing I can do anyway.’

My brain didn’t even work properly because of the trauma. Even if I helped the search in this state, there was no way I would be of any help in finding Ryu Kun-woo.

But if I don’t do a concert, it’s definitely X.

So, isn’t the answer already out there?

“… yes. thank you.”

The members who had just finished talking on their own took their faces away from my smartphone. Judging by the hardened face, it seemed that he had heard all the explanations.

“… … .”

I looked up.

Concert 38 minutes… No, it was 37 minutes ago.

Now it’s time to really hang up and get ready or the opening will be disrupted.

‘Hang up the phone and get ready.’

I had to say that.

But, damn it, my mouth didn’t come off.

‘do it.’

If I don’t do it, shouldn’t these guys have to say that? You can’t pass it on to your kids.

I bit my tongue and barely opened my mouth again.

“… therefore.”

It was before he even finished his words.

Ryu Cheng-wu spoke first.

“Go to Mundae.”

“… !”

“If you take a call taxi, you will be there in two hours. Talk quietly and uninterrupted as you go.”

The talk of spending half of the time for the concert on the move came out of my mouth casually.

I tried to refute whether

“that” made sense.

“No, I won’t listen to your judgment, so do as I say.”

“… … .”

“Understand? Go and do all you can.”

I asked like an idiot.

“A concert.”

“We will.”

“no… .”

Liu Chengyu looked at me and stood me up.

And he held out his smartphone, which was still connected.

“Don’t ask. I have no intention of persuading you.”

“… … .”

“Don’t waste time, go now.”

I held the smartphone he held out in my hand.

No response came out.

‘no.’

I turned my gaze to the faces of the other members.

It was because I thought that a guy like Keun Se-jin or Cha Yu-jin would definitely give a rational refutation.

Even if I couldn’t do it, I thought it would show on my face. Then I thought it would help me open my mouth.

“… … .”

But no one stopped.

In quiet cooperation, I moved.

“Quickly, please.”

In an instant, I boarded the inside of the call taxi.

“Don’t worry about anything else.”

The door closed at the end of Sun Ah-hyun’s words.

widely.

So I sat in the back seat of an unfamiliar car and started moving.

“… … .”

The singer left the venue 30 minutes before the concert.

It was so crazy that it didn’t even feel real.

So I should have been more anxious. with my own hands… Because it is certain that the first day of the concert, where the future of the group depends, has been set up.

The audience… Because it is clear that you will be disappointed.

“… … .”

My hands trembled.

But you know what’s funny? It’s that I’m no longer in a dog-like panic.

Blood began to circulate in my brain like a lie.

‘X feet.’

Because it’s already too late to go back to the concert.

There was no more room for worry. I was able to pour all my nerves into the comfort of the big moon.

I might not be late this time.

When I thought so, it was funny that even in this extreme nervousness, my head began to spin.

“under.”

Even though the situation was like this, my brain, which accepted the return of a little peace with sweetness, was absurd. I laughed at my brain and closed my eyes.

Then, I called the rescuer who had called earlier and asked for a detailed explanation of the situation again.

Think again.

A place for the big moon to go.

About the whereabouts of the last few days.

He had been absent from work for five days without notice.

After all, it seems that the report came in at work this morning. The disappearance of an adult male is not well accepted, but since he is a civil servant, it would have been easier.

And the result of tracking the guy’s smartphone. It was found at a supermarket in Ganghwa Island.

It is said that Ryu Gun-woo left the story of ‘I’m on my way to the mountain’ at a supermarket in Ganghwa Island yesterday and the trace was cut off.

‘The search is slow because we don’t know which mountain it is… That’s it.’

There were many mountains worth climbing in Ganghwa Island.

If you were in the mountains for two days in winter, you had to find it quickly. A verb could also have appeared.

… However, I know that the rescuers also worried about other nuances.

If you went up a winter mountain in this weather and suddenly left your smartphone without notice… .

Kind of like that he might not have thought of descending in the first place.

‘no.’

I grabbed my smartphone with both hands.

… wouldn’t have been

He had no reason to do that. This guy went on a trip to Sokcho to find out what he wanted to do… .

But at that moment, his recent contacts suddenly popped into my head.

-thank you.

– Sure, you’ll be fine.

“… … .”

Could it be that his calmness stemmed from depression?

I couldn’t tell. I haven’t been able to have that deep conversation lately.

but.

‘If you start to be swayed by this logic, it’s over.’

It’s an idea that doesn’t help anything in the reasoning that wants him to survive.

I gritted my teeth and cut out the thought.

And back to keywords.

guy’s purpose.

‘Why is it a mountain in Ganghwa Island?’

If it is such a mountain, there are many similar places in Seoul. Why go to Incheon? … .

“… … .”

this body.

Moondae Park is from Incheon.

Feeling like I found a connection somewhere, I used my brain more closely.

Are there any other links? Reinforcement and reinforcement… .

And suddenly I remembered.

– Oh well. It’s reinforced, but… .

“… … !”

I had been to Ganghwa Island with him.

I remembered the reason clearly. that.

– Stay at sea. You said you wanted to do that before… … .

“… … .”

I immediately opened the map app and checked the geography of Ganghwa Island.

And called the rescuers.

“I found a place worth searching first.”

-yes?

“Manisan.”

I climbed a mountain

“To the south of that mountain… It has a good view of the sea and is close.”

If you look at the sea from this mountain, you will see the sea in front of Ganghwa Island where he scattered his parents’ ashes.
