Debut or Die - Chapter 119

If I can’t debut, I’ll get sick to death Episode 119

I couldn’t figure out what that crazy guy was thinking.

I wrote on social media in the way of being an X, and it wasn’t even a few days later, this shit again.

‘Turn the phone back to the company?’

It was even a shop now. It was because the dinner schedule was being prepared.

Kim Rae-bin, who was being blow-dryed next to him, could see his eyes wide open. It was clear that he had read the mouth of the manager.

It was more reluctant because this place was full of all kinds of people involved.

‘I know what to say.’

In the meantime, the hair designer who was holding my hair readily accelerated the situation.

“Take it, it’s okay. I’m almost done.”

He probably thought that I was holding back for fear of getting in the way of getting my hair done.

‘I don’t want to receive it… … .’

I held back a sigh. And then I told the manager.

“… Can you tell me that I will contact you later?”

“Hey, you don’t know the number? He changed his number and called me this way. You don’t answer numbers you don’t know.”

“… … .”

It was obvious that he had to go through the company and call when he could have done it via text message.

‘This is what I knew I blocked.’

There’s nothing you can do about it if you do this.

It was also unpleasant to keep telling the manager what to do.

It’s over quickly.

“yes. then.”

I got a smartphone from the manager and put it to my ear.

“I changed my phone number. This is Moondae Park.”

– Oh finally.

A voice full of laughter was heard.

Should I even listen to this thread splitting?

“I heard you changed your number. I will save this number.”

-yes. Please. And congratulations on the rookie award.

The hand holding the handle of the chair was naturally strong.

“… The awards ceremony hasn’t even started yet, so we don’t know. then… .”

I was about to finish my words immediately, but Cheong-ryeo answered without giving me a chance.

– It’s almost certain. Well, don’t you wonder what’s going to happen next?

I’m not curious.

Anyway, even if I interact with this guy, I don’t think I’ll get proper information.

Hit someone in the back of the head and go somewhere to catch someone.

“Not much. Anyway, I’ll save the number for good. I hope you have a good end of year activities. Seniors.”

It just meant to cut it off.

-… Oh how it goes

Then, suddenly, his tone changed to something slightly embarrassing.

-Hmm, I think there was a misunderstanding… I will never do anything that will harm my juniors. I have a line too.

sounds like a line

“I see. All right.”

– We will continue to meet during year-end promotions… Hmm, maybe I should explain then. It’s kind of hard to do over the phone.

“It would be nice to have a chance to see you. Then I’m sorry, but I have a schedule, so I’ll hang up.”

Cheong-Ryeo replied like a joke.

-is it so. Don’t accidentally block it this time.

“yes. then.”

I quickly hung up. If it was a lodging, I would have been able to say something, but I endured it because it was a shop.

And I gave the phone back to the manager.

“Here, brother. thank you.”

“Okay~ I’ll text you this person’s number.”

“… … .”

You can’t criticize the kindness of a manager who doesn’t know the details of the job. I sighed and closed my eyes as I leaned against the road chair.

‘it’s bothering.’

At first, I wondered if I could benefit from anything, but this bastard net troller was nowhere else.

Besides, his sudden change of attitude was unpredictable because he seemed like a really crazy guy.

‘As expected, the answer is a loss.’

It finishes quietly without scratching.

Anyway, after two years, the future I know is over. Then, since he has nothing to use, he will fall away naturally.

Until then, it’s enough if you don’t get involved while avoiding the situation.

Testa is also likely to reach the top tier by the time the next album is released, and if that guy is too proud of his status, he won’t be able to come out more blatantly than this time.

Aside from being insane, it seemed that he was quite obsessed with his status as an idol.

‘Then we just don’t have to build up bad feelings like killing each other.’

Well, originally, I was so upset that I was going to send it away somehow, but once things were resolved and I thought about it rationally, my risk was too great.

‘There is no need to risk your life to catch the troll.’

I keep this as a backup plan in case I don’t know. I cleared my thoughts and opened my eyes.

And Kim Rae-bin, whose eyes were shining next to him, spoke up.

“… Maybe an arrangement program.”

“It’s classified.”

“All right… … .”

I’m sorry, but I don’t think the day will come when I ask that.

I threw a glucose candy to Kim Rae-bin, who was sullen.

* * *

After running through a few year-end events, the day has arrived for a new year-end stage.

This time it was the KBC Gayo Festival.

Since only singers who were quite active this year were invited to host the show, we received relatively better performances than other public broadcasters… … .

The problem was elsewhere.

“Come out!”

“Oh, that’s the ad then! That artificial intelligence!”

“oh my god.”

… It was an interim advertisement between parts 1 and 2, and I was able to see the real thing of the 3-month 350 million advertisement.

On the screen, no one can see that each testa sitting in a white living room like a set was holding different props.

FYI I… It’s a cheering stick. It’s also in the form of a sparkling magic wand.

… … I want to excuse the fact that I had no choice.

In any case, the advantage of the artificial intelligence secretary contracted for this advertisement was that it was small and detachable here and there.

[Connect to an item that shows your emotions.]

[Your personal assistant who understands the user, play the song you thought of.]

Suddenly, the screen lit up a character-type artificial intelligence speaker with ambiguous eyes.

Cha Yoo-jin laughed and tapped the speaker.

[I want to hear the airplane~]

Then, out of nowhere, the speaker began to emit a low-pitched ‘floating, floating, airplane’ vigorously.

[…] … ?]

Park Mun-dae with a calm face came out after Cha Yu-jin’s surprised cut.

Park Moon-dae waved a cheering stick and laughed.

[Play Curious Airplane]

Then, the audio was filled with Testa’s song ‘Airplane’.

A cut of Testa members making gestures passed over the clear BGM.

[Magical boy Testa’s]

[Magical artificial intelligence secretary!]

… There, the advertisement ended in an instant with Park Mun-dae, who had a picture of dog ears, shouting ‘Curious’ while pretending to be a puppy.

[Curious! Woof!]

And the waiting room was filled with laughter.

“Hahahahahaha!!”

“Cheup.”

That… No matter how much I thought about it, it was a laugh that came out of relief that I had avoided it.

“… … .”

I held back a sigh. Ryu Cheong-wu, who was the first to stop laughing, cleared his throat and only then began comforting him.

“Keuheum I think it’s because we’re number one, Moondae. How good is it to have a lot of content in commercials?”

“Sure… !”

“That’s right~ Brother Chungwoo said something good.”

Oh is it?

I nodded.

“Iknow, right. That’s right.”

“yes?”

“yes. I can’t wait to see other people’s versions too.”

“… … ??”

“Other people… ?!”

Bae Se-jin quietly told the truth to the astonished members.

“… It says 7 versions of the continuity.”

“… … !”

For a while, whenever I watched TV, I came to enjoy the thrill of Russian roulette.

The members’ faces were filled with tension, as if they were thinking of their own continuity.

Well, I didn’t have time to worry too long. It was because our stage was near the end of the second part.

And this stage was important.

Because it was the first year-end stage after SBC.

‘We have to drive a wedge into the turned public opinion.’

‘I don’t know the testa skills…’ It was inevitable that words such as ‘I must have clenched my teeth only for that special stage’ came up.

I had to do well here.

Thanks to that, the guys quickly fell into a different sense of tension.

And right before going on stage, they gathered together and even put in a spirit.

“Ah Testa, show me something today!”

“let’s go!”

I wondered if I had to write this phrase, but… … What was the atmosphere like?

Testa rode the lift device and went up to the stage.

Aaaaaaaaa!

All kinds of lights rippled in the audience.

It still didn’t quite make sense to me that each of those fires was a person.

Still, there was a lightstick that stood out. As expected, it is Testa’s cheering stick.

… This is because the luminous power is different.

‘Looks like you put a flashlight between fireflies.’

In any case, it was nice to be able to find out right away. It’s a live broadcast, so even if you can’t do anything great, you can say hello when you enter.

Meanwhile, the entrance intro was ending.

I walked out to the middle and took a seat.

Then, the prelude to ‘Magical Boy’, which was arranged for the end-of-year stage, began to play.

It was a live orchestra version.

To the live violin melody echoing from below the stage, I started the introduction.

“I think of you whom I met tomorrow all day long, and dream a dream as blue as daytime.”

The ensemble of string and wind instruments filled the hall with splendor.

It was completely live music in real time.

What this means is that they didn’t install AR at all in order to save the feeling of a live band.

‘It was comfortable because the intro was me.’

If you don’t match the tempo when you enter, it will be a catastrophe. The one with the lowest probability of failure was right.

And after that, everyone performed well, so it was stable.

“Cast a spell”

“Make a wish come true true true~”

In line with the splendid performance, some modern dance moves were mixed into the choreography. It became more like a fantasy epic rather than a dream, but it had its own taste.

It was embarrassing because the outfit was a bit too long, but I thought people would like it.

‘Seonahyeon is flying.’

He seemed to be more excited than usual because he was the one who received this concept the best. Even the artistry was felt in the dance break part where only the violin solo and percussion remained.

And it was the part where the song naturally went over to the chorus of ‘Airplane’.

-Airplane

Kee-ing-!

‘Really in-ear.’

A sound like scraping a chalkboard rang out of my ears.

The device installed to prevent missing the beat due to shouts or echoes actually hindered concentration.

Meow meow meow!

… Even if the volume is too loud or I can’t hear anything, this is the first time I’ve had this uproar.

‘It will turn.’

Unable to hold back any longer, I roughly pulled out the in-ear on the side where the accompaniment came from. It was a transmission error when I saw several members doing the same thing next to me.

‘At the end of the year, the airwaves run really well.’

But something even more shocking happened next.

During the choreography of lying down, the in-ears that Bae Se-jin chose flowed down and fell on the stage.

It was clear that the fixer had made a mistake.

‘… I kick it with my feet in the next part.’

But at that moment, Seon Ah-hyun, who was coming to the middle of the line, accidentally stepped on the wrong line and slipped.

Head to the floor, too!

“… … !”

Reflexively, I grabbed Seon Ah-hyun’s back.

And on the other side, my eyes met Ryu Cheng-wu, who did the same thing as me.

‘Stand up and return right away.’

This was unavoidable.

The decision was made in an instant.

However, just as she was about to give strength to her hands, Seon Ah-hyun kicked her feet just as she had slipped and began to give her body a kick.

“… … !”

Seon Ah-hyun, using inertia, leaned her hands on the arms of me and Ryu Chung-wu, who held her back, stretched both legs and did a graceful backtumble.

Then, landing like a picture, he sang his own part.

“… I hope that my heart, which flies far away, will become a star that shines beyond the Milky Way.”

“… … !”

Contrary to my shock, the modified choreography came out from my body as I practiced. I was very fortunate.

The moment the last verse continued, the members naturally returned to their original movement.

Bae Se-jin sang while pressing the head microphone. Her face and voice were fine, but her fingers were trembling slightly.

“… I want our two hands to touch-”

The song was finished with a choreography in which seven people standing in a circle gathered one hand toward the sky and spread it out.

“… … .”

Aaaagh!

The camera’s on-air lights went off with cheers.

And it was only after the lights were turned off that expressions that seemed drenched in cold sweat began to appear on the members’ faces.

‘… Has it been recovered?’

Once the stage is properly… No, shouldn’t we look at Seon Ah-hyun’s condition first?

‘Some crazy guy falls down and does back tumbling without practice there.’

Wasn’t it a situation that could break your head if something went wrong?

However, due to the progress of the broadcast, there was no time to linger here. We quickly waved our hands to the fan seats and came off the stage.

And without time to talk Katabuta, I immediately faced the monitoring screen.

“… … !”
