Debut or Die - Chapter 118
If you can’t debut, you’ll get a fatal disease Episode 118
The SBC Gayo Daejeon is over.
After that, due to schedule problems, I slept in the car all morning and moved, but my condition was the best in the past month.
This is because as soon as the broadcast ended, the manager told me all the current public opinion.
– Completely turned upside down!
It was worth seeing the members’ expressions at that time.
Anyway, after that, everyone seems to have slept soundly even though they were not in the car.
Thanks to that, I was able to tolerate the fact that I was not alone in the dorm because the company called me this morning.
But I had no reason to guess why he called me.
‘Looking at his expression, it doesn’t seem like a bad thing.’
I wish I had a new personal schedule.
And as soon as I entered the back porch of the company building, I could see the cause of the call.
Many boxes had been piled up so that the small porch for officials burst open.
All of them are carefully packaged with ribbons… It was a gift box.
It looked similar to the one I saw at the entrance of the hostel on my last vacation, but it was much larger.
‘uh?’
for a moment.
One of the staff members with me laughed.
“Mr. Moondae, I have a birthday present for you~”
“… … !”
… I see.
Today is December 15th.
It was Park Moon-dae’s birthday.
‘… I couldn’t even guess.’
I completely forgot about it because I lost my sense of date due to endless repetition of schedules and practice.
Recently, I didn’t even notice it because I didn’t check social media on purpose.
‘… It’s not even my birthday in the first place.’
No, even before I entered Park Moon-dae’s body… It was rare to have a particularly special birthday.
‘It was to the point of eating with rice or some expensive ingredients.’
Thanks to that, seeing the gift boxes filling the two walls made my feet stiff.
Did this all come from me?
“I think it would be difficult to leave it at home… The home of Mr. Moondae… hmm.”
While talking, the employee suddenly blurted out behind his back, perhaps realizing the family history of Park Moon-dae.
And kindly corrected again.
“Shall we put it in the company warehouse? Electronic devices and luxury items will be sent to the dorm. You can go and try it out.”
“… … Did the people who brought this say anything?”
Even looking at it, it seemed that the packaging was different in three or four places.
‘I think he tried to deliver at least one or two teams directly… … .’
“Ah, they used a professional delivery company. I got a delivery call the day before yesterday.”
The employee shrugged.
“And I think he asked Moondae to tell him that he didn’t have to be certified… … . that’s right. It was.”
“… … !”
Only then did I realize the situation.
‘… … You just delivered it quietly on purpose.’
The day before yesterday, I was in the midst of betting Testa on the Internet as a newcomer and falling over.
If there hadn’t been an all-out war at SBC yesterday, of course it would have been the same today.
In that situation, he must have been worried that if he even certified that he had received such a large gift support, there would be room for him to be caught again.
‘I was conscious of that, so I couldn’t even come to see you myself… … .’
I felt strange.
It was strange that there were people who cared and put in so much effort for others who could not even interact properly.
That the target is me is really… It was even weirder.
“Can’t you open it? Shall we just move it to the warehouse?”
“… wait a minute.”
Then I moved my steps and approached the boxes.
I could see boxes wrapped in the same wrapping paper over the ribbons tied to the frame brand shopping bags made with prints of my photos.
A tag was attached to each packaging ribbon.
“… … .”
Numerous clothing electronics accessories were visible on each tag.
‘… What should I do?’
I was almost overwhelmed. I don’t know what criteria to take to the accommodation first.
‘… First of all, it is an easy-to-certify item, and only three points for each wrapping paper design… … .’
As I was thinking about it, one tag caught my eye.
It was a tag attached to a relatively small box.
[Message Book]
“… … .”
I hesitantly lifted the box and unwrapped it.
A golden hardcover book that seemed to have been handcrafted was revealed. When I opened the hardcover version
of < You who came down to my heart like a shooting star >,
edited sentences were revealed in a neat design.
-I knew it the moment I saw the stage of < To a New World >. That friend is my idol! Haha
I support Moondae, who always does his best and continues to develop. But even if you don’t, that’s okay. I will always support the happiness of Moondae♡
-My star I want to see for a long time
-Meet Moondae and my insomnia disappeared! It’s fun just to look at it, and it makes my heart flutter just thinking about it… I love you in the future
– I am thankful and sorry for Moondae who always cares about the fans no matter what they do. A real doormat is okay!
Between the long lines of text, restrained sentences jumped out. It seemed that even the refined mind was squeezed out.
-Your sister still hasn’t forgotten the Tibetan fox, Mundae. I love dog mundae, but I also love Tibetan mundae ㅠ
“Haha.”
I couldn’t contain my laughter.
really… They were unusual people. It was unbelievable kindness.
Of course, feelings aren’t forever. These people also use words like ‘forever and ever’, but they know that they can’t do that because they are human beings.
But at this moment, just the fact that there are people who think like that somehow made me feel unbearable.
I wanted to do something.
“… … .”
“Mr. Moondae?”
“… Oh sorry.”
I barely came to my senses. And I quickly grabbed a few gift boxes.
As planned… No, a little more than planned.
“… Can I take your lodging?”
“I have tea. it’s okay.”
The manager accompanied me. By now, you should be buying a drink or smoking a cigarette in the lobby in front of the building.
“hmm… all right. Good luck. Happy birthday!”
“thank you.”
I packed my hands full of presents and headed to the parking lot.
The manager I met in the middle was frightened.
“Did you bring it all by yourself?! Make a call!”
“are you okay. It’s close.”
“Ugh… Anyway, congratulations on the gift. happy birthday Will you buy me some coffee?”
“Next.”
“Why don’t you refuse.”
I just laughed It seemed that even the wind had entered my head, and everything seemed pleasant.
“Go in well~”
“Yes. thank you.”
I broke up with the manager in front of the accommodation building. Then, I packed my presents again and went up to my inn.
And that was the moment I got off the elevator.
A strange smell was felt in front of the door of the accommodation.
“… … ?”
Isn’t this burnt?
‘no way.’
I piled up the presents on one side of the hallway and immediately unlocked the front door.
And after opening the fire hydrant, he opened the door.
“… … ?!”
“No!!”
… And I witnessed Cha Yoo-jin and Seon Ah-hyun running through the living room with some pots.
Smoke was rising from the pot.
I asked with difficulty.
“… what are you doing?”
“Mumundae! Rice is nothing… … .”
“Chicken soup for the soul!”
Cha Yoo-jin shouted and started to run away with the pot back to the kitchen.
A terrible silence began to flow from Seon Ah-hyun, who was left in the living room.
“… … .”
“… … .”
“… new birthday… … Congratulations.”
“thanks.”
I’m grateful for the congratulations, but I’d like to hear an explanation of what the hell is going on.
* * *
“… birthday present?”
“yes!”
“Oh no… Stand and have a gift separately! That just means thank you… … .”
“I have more presents too.”
I heard Cha Yoo-jin and Seon Ah-hyun talking, but nothing was settled.
It seemed like the two couldn’t communicate well either.
The other members, who had been awakened from a froze by the pot riot, tried to clean things up.
“So, since it’s Mundae’s birthday and we just have time in the morning, you were thinking of doing something delicious, right?”
“yes!”
“… … With that number?”
As Bae Se-jin quietly muttered to himself, Seon Ah-hyun lowered her head with a gloomy face.
“Because the recipe is certain… … I knew I could do it.”
“… Is this a sure recipe?”
Cha Yoo-jin happily answered Bae Se-jin’s question full of doubts.
“It’s my mom’s recipe! Chicken soup!”
“… … !”
Sejin Bae hurriedly added while his pupils were shaking.
“that… Even if the recipe is great, beginners may not be able to do it.”
“Try again!”
“Sit down a minute.”
I made Cha Yoo-jin, who was about to jump up, sit back down. And I remembered the pot I saw in the kitchen.
‘… It was burnt black.’
In addition, judging from the cutting board and sink, it seems that the cooking process itself was not normal.
“Come to think of it, didn’t Yujin say she was good at cooking?”
“I am good at baking. It’s my first time cooking… … .”
“Oops.”
There was no joke. Big Sejin clicked his tongue and waved his hand when our eyes met.
“Oh, happy birthday to Mundae~ Did I send you a gifticon?”
“… chicken?”
“chicken. Two of them.”
I got it back exactly what I gave it to you in August.
It was the result of a fast-paced guy.
“thanks.”
“Me too! wait for a sec… … !”
Seon Ah-hyun, who had been sitting like a criminal, suddenly jumped up and stomped her feet to her room.
Then he brought a small, well-wrapped gift and held it out.
“Happy new birthday!”
“uh… thanks. Can I open it?”
“Yes!”
When I opened it, there was a department store gift certificate inside.
this… It feels like collecting friend money.
However, Seon Ah-hyun looked proud.
“I really don’t have time to go buy… … . It’s better to see and choose for yourself!”
“… um yeah thank you. I’ll go when I have time.”
“Yes!”
next time… I should buy Seonahyeon in moderation. It was a bit too much for a friend or co-worker to receive.
‘Come to think of it, it seems like he gave me something expensive for Sejin’s birthday.’
I wonder if I should say something at least once.
“Oh, I bought one too.”
There were no items as unexpected as Seon Ah-hyun, but after that, I received gifts from one or two people unexpectedly.
First of all, Cha Yoo-jin gave me a huge jar of jelly.
‘He’ll eat half of it.’
It must have been taken away from what he ordered.
And unexpectedly, Bae Se-jin gave me a hoodie, probably the type who remembers other people’s birthdays.
“I will wear it well. Thank you bro.”
“… what is it?”
So the gift giving ceremony ended.
Honestly, it was the first time in my life that I had received so many congratulatory gifts on the same day.
‘It feels strange.’
I brought the box I received from the fans and moved it to my room along with the gifts I received from the members.
“I’m sorry I couldn’t take care of you. Next time I’ll buy at least one meal. What do you want to eat?”
“You don’t have to be sorry, well, let’s eat what we want to eat then.”
“okay. OK.”
It’s normal to not know, but as we were beating with Ryu Cheong-woo, who apologized for not knowing, Rae-bin Kim shouted in a solemn voice from the side.
“I’m sorry I didn’t know your birthday… !”
“… Because it’s okay.”
“There is a beat I took recently… If you use that as your solo song… … !”
What if I put out my own song here?
… Let’s accept it for now though.
“okay. I think it would be a good song. Let’s check it out when we have time.”
“yes!”
Kim Rae-bin sighed in relief and staggered back to his room.
“… … .”
I want to get into big trouble, but I should at least tell him not to come out too low-key later.
I put the boxes next to the bed and lay down on the bed.
And after a long time, I turned on the data on my smartphone. Then, the first thing came in.
It was a gift from Sejin.
[Gift from Sejin]
: 1.5kg Orim native chicken
“… … .”
And after a while, Keun Se-jin’s talk message, plastered with ‘kkkkkkkkkkkk’, arrived.
‘This bastard is real.’
I reflexively hit the heart.
[Do you want to die?]
The answer came immediately.
[Big Sejin: I hate it]
“… … .”
I got up from my seat and tried to run to Sejin’s room, but I endured it.
That would be the reaction this bastard wants.
Instead, try to strike calmly and ideally.
[You will not be able to upload photos in the future.]
[Big Sejin: I’m sorry]
As expected, this is Jikbang.
I turned off my phone and went to sleep.
I closed my eyes, and the shape of the gift I received today and the sentences from the message book roamed around in my head.
… Somehow, it felt like I would have a good dream in my nap now.
* * *
But after a good night’s sleep, unwelcome news awaited from the manager.
“Mundae, did you get a call?”
“Yes? Who?”
The manager handed me his smartphone and muttered with his mouth.
‘Vtic Chungrye!’
these X feet.
