Debut or Die - Chapter 129

Episode 129

“Are there many people?”

“There are so many!”

“Even though there are still more than 8 hours left until the start of the performance, I see many people gathering and chatting… !”

Kim Rae-bin and Cha Yu-jin, who had been spying outside pretending to go to the bathroom, were excited and chattered.

The members on the stage either covered their faces or took deep breaths.

“Whoa… … .”

“You can hear everything rehearsal.”

Yes. Right now, I’m on the stage to rehearse for a concert.

In the case of idols on overseas tours, they sell tickets including rehearsal tickets, but it was fortunate that this was not the case.

From the first concert to the rehearsal, people would probably be 10 times more nervous than they are now.

Of course, even now, everyone is in high spirits.

“Let’s do really well. I practiced like that, but I have to show you what I did.”

“that’s right!”

“really… You did a lot.”

Bae Se-jin’s face turned slightly pale.

It seemed to be reminiscent of the last practice period.

‘It was a bit harsh.’

It wasn’t once or twice that I thought that my physical strength and lung capacity would not last.

Thanks to that, I brought a cycle machine into the dorm. This is because the unanimous consensus came out that the time to receive PT was not enough.

In the meantime, it was not normal to show a lively appearance in the unit stage production reality.

‘… But the day has finally come.’

I wasn’t sad or anxious. The preparations are over.

And it will be the same for the others too.

“okay. This time, let’s believe in the amount of practice and go.”

“yes!”

In that tight atmosphere, Sejin raised his hand.

“Shall we shout our slogan once and go?”

“Aid?”

“You have that~”

“… ah.”

Exclamation marks appeared on the faces of those who finally realized what they were talking about.

And after a while, chin chin hands gathered.

“Ah Testa, show me something today!”

“let’s go!”

… It was a phrase that equalized the atmosphere with embarrassment, but it had an effect.

“Are you going from the opening?”

The rehearsal went smoothly without any problems.

There really isn’t much left until all the empty seats are filled.

* * *

In front of the gymnastics arena was a sea of phosphates. There may be many reasons, but one of the main goals was to purchase concert-related products.

‘I got all the MDs!!’

Park Moon-dae’s hommage also stood in line with both hands full of shopping bags. It was evidence of a successful hunt.

Besides, they are all good quality!

In particular, the set of shiny parts that can be customized by attaching to the light stick was very pretty.

At the time of pre-purchase, it has already been confirmed through SNS that the first thing to sell out in an instant is just the image cut.

‘I picked it better than I thought.’

Recently, many fans have softened up with T1’s move to properly show the taste of large corporations.

In addition, there were even people who turned amicably after selecting this and that well.

But Homma made up her mind.

‘… Let’s not be vigilant.’

Because on the concert Blu-ray, you might find out that this and that were drafted by the kids.

But I couldn’t help but feel excited about it.

‘Doesn’t it seem like they prepared hard?!’

I was looking forward to the concert so much that I smiled all over my face. The reward that only those with tickets can feel has already flooded in.

Besides, her seat… It was District 8 on the 2nd floor!

It was the position where Moondae Park tried to challenge himself, but failed because he could not even try.

‘Moondae, I’m sitting here… !’

Originally, she planned to find a standing and exchange so that the direct cam could come out well, but the moment she saw Testa’s ticketing video, she thought it was fate and decided to accept it.

‘Let’s film more tomorrow!’

It was something I could afford because I had tickets for tomorrow as well.

“Would you like to try this… ?”

“Thank you!”

She received snacks and a small photo postcard prepared by Kim Rae-bin, a fan in the seat next to her.

Time passed in an instant as we chatted and checked the situation on social media from time to time.

It was time for the concert to begin.

An announcement rang the venue.

“… … Whoa.”

Homma Park Mun-dae skillfully took out the camera and hid it in her luggage.

At that moment, the lights in the venue went dark.

“… … !”

The light from the huge screen poured into the place where the buzz of people suddenly stopped.

Woo woo woo-.

What fills the screen… It was seven figures lying in a circle on the classroom floor.

It was a testa.

Aaaaaa!!!

The video unfolded with cheers.

The faces of Testa waking up on the floor were close-up one by one, and the next moment, soap bubbles passed over their heads.

The members chased the soap bubbles and lightly flung themselves out of the classroom window where sunlight poured in.

And the pop screen turned off.

♫♪♩♪-♫♪♫♪-♪♩-

The venue is dark again. The familiar melody rang in a more splendid variation.

And suddenly, the scene was filled with pouring soap bubbles and sparkling lights from light sticks.

“… … !”

In that fantastic space shimmering with purple lighting, the introduction of Park Moon-dae’s ‘Magic Boy’ began to be heard.

-Thinking of you whom I met tomorrow all day,

figures on wires began to descend from the ceiling.

“… … !”

All seven testers appeared on wires from all sides.

Idols wrapped themselves in the stage equipment and started spinning around the venue.

-But reality is breathing All the time…

Sun Ah-hyun flew over her head while singing her part.

‘crazy!’

Shrieking cheers poured in from all around.

Aaaaaa!!

A gentle breeze blew from the spot where Seon Ah-hyun had passed, tickling her hair.

I got goosebumps all the time.

‘Moon Dae Mun Dae?!’

Moondae Park was passing by on a standing a little distance from her.

‘It’s over there in my area tomorrow!!’

Her blonde hair was caught on screen. Park Moon-dae was smiling lightly.

‘fairy! Please stay there tomorrow too… !!’

She cried and picked up the camera.

-Cast a spell

Testa gathered at the center stage in the small interlude right before the second verse chorus.

Then, they got off the device and started choreography.

The decorations of school uniforms, which are much more colorful than those in the music video, sparkled in the lights.

And the accompaniment was connected as if driving without a chance to catch your breath, and the next song continued. It was ‘Airplane’, the title of the second active period.

– My heart was pounding and I wanted to blow it somewhere.

Testa wore a wire from the opening and flew to the first stage, quickly taking away all the titles he had.

‘oh my god.’

I had a strong feeling that I would first immerse myself in the next composition and what it was.

But the atmosphere was certain.

With only hit songs coming out one after another, the audience was excited with adrenaline before they even worried about the composition of the second half of the performance.

Testa’s first concert started like that.

* * *

Testa sang one more low ballad song from the ‘Choose your side’ album and then proceeded with a light talk.

[Did you enjoy the opening after?]

Yes!!!

Positive replies that seemed like they were going to tear at the slightly ringing voice filled the concert hall.

Liu Qingyu, who spoke out, seemed a little surprised by the momentum, but soon smiled haha and nodded.

‘I keep looking at him, so he’s cute.’

Homma’s eyes and camera were focused on Park Moon-dae while giving a generous review.

Park Moon-dae handed the water bottle he drank to Seon Ah-hyun next to him and waved goodbye.

[hello. Lover. I’m Moondae… no see. I hope you had a fun and exciting time today.]

‘So cute!!’

I saw an effort to deliberately reproduce the tone of SNS. But I was quite ashamed, so my ears went red.

‘My dog mustered up the courage… !’

I was crying and holding the camera when I heard a black noise next to me.

“You’re cute… … .”

“… … ?”

The person next to me seemed to be Kim Rae-bin’s personal fan.

In any case, it meant that Moondae was that destructively cute, so she decided to warmly think about it.

[This stage~ I think everyone has already seen how hard we prepare!]

[This is the first unit stage!]

The members seemed nervous, but they still talked easily with excited faces.

[Oh, which team is first? that… It’s a secret!]

[Secret!]

It was only after the mischievous fans booed and Testa laughed several more times that Testa prepared to go down the stage.

[Is everyone ready? Then, please wait with anticipation to see who will be better!]

[Reveal soon!]

Then, Testa waved her hand and ran backstage.

It wasn’t until after I intentionally showed them all that the lights went off and the video started playing on the screen again.

[Ppabababam!]

[Ppabababam!!]

The two of them poked their heads out… It was Cha Yujin and Big Sejin!

‘Already here??’

This is because the units that mainly perform dance performances knew how to appear in the second half due to the composition of the atmosphere.

Besides, isn’t there ‘that’ Cha Yoo-jin?

Cha Yoo-jin, who smashes the stage, Cha Yoo-jin, the personal fan maker!

‘… oh i don’t know It’s not like Mundae is coming out!’

She shrugged and leaned back against the backrest. I thought it would be a bit easier to see since the gate didn’t come out.

‘What is Cha Yoo-jin flying around… Sejin can dance well too, right?’

From my memory of what she saw on a Witube reality show, it seemed like she would sing a rather famous and old jazz-style R&B pop song.

The cute VCR that the two of them were giggling at was also over.

[So our concept… … What is it, Eugene?]

[The outlaw of the wilderness!]

After Cha Yu-jin’s words, the screen cut off to black once.

And the screen that popped up again… It was a truly desolate wilderness.

‘uh?’

It was a scene like you would see in a typical American Western.

Bam Bam Bam Barabarararabam

The prelude started playing. A picture appeared on the screen with a saxophone rhythm that was much more pleasant than the original song.

[WANTED]

[$100 000 000]

It was a bounty poster. The comical cartoon caricature of the two had the effect of sticking to the video.

-Who’s next?

The moment when Cha Yoo-jin’s voice, mixed with a nasal tone, sharply threw out a verse.

Two men simultaneously leaped from under the ends of center stage.

And they ran towards each other.

“… … !”

The two of them sprinted from the left and the right, crossing choreography as if sliding towards each other, then magically lifted themselves up and looked back at each other again.

Both of them were tall, wearing leather pants, loose shirts, tight vests, and cowboy hats.

However, Cha Yoo-jin was light brown and Keun Se-jin was dark brown.

-Now~ You have to know

What is right D’oh

What is left

They both threw their hats at the same time.

Dancers dressed in black appeared behind the two who were laughing crookedly while Keun Se-jin’s vocals bounced along with a pleasant pop song.

Then, the two of them took out a rope from their waistband and lifted it.

“… … ?!”

Aggressive military dance unfolded on all sides.

Cha Yoo-jin and Keun Se-jin began to knock the dancers down one by one with strange and lively movements using their feet and ropes.

The movements had similarities to the choreography of the dancers, but were also tailored to each other. There was always a part where the same movements were performed at the same timing for each verse.

So the sense of unity of the stage was maintained smoothly.

It was a feat to watch with your mouth wide open.

-Take my gun and

Bababababa-by Say

Goodbye!

The moment they entered the chorus, the two ripped off their vests and threw them behind them.

Then, a hidden costume element was revealed.

It was a gun holder with a gun.

-Oh my~

The two continued the choreography with one hand pointing at each other.

The organically connected choreography, where the choreography keeps changing positions and then returning to the original position, was quite musical, but at the same time, one hand was restricted and the other movements became more radical.

and last.

The choreography ended with the action of shooting each other’s guns away.

-Say Goooodbye~~

Above the sound of drum rolls and frantically playing saxophone, the two of them slowly lifted their missing hats and took painstaking gestures as if to say hello.

Then, slowly, it disappeared off the stage.

-Yay ha!

Even before the final verse of the song, the concert hall was filled with screams.

‘Huh’

Park Moon-dae tried to shut his gaping mouth on the stage that was so immersed that he had no time to comment.

‘That’s great… … .’

As soon as they heard the keyword ‘Outlaw of the Wilderness’, it was a stage with an intense composition that captured the elements that the audience would have expected as soon as they heard it.

‘… Shall we upload this stage cut on April Fool’s Day?’

“I think the cut of throwing the vest came out well,” she said, trying hard to stay calm.

And like her, the stage left a deep impression in the minds of most of the audience who watched the first unit stage.

No individual member, not the stage.

It was a big win by decision.

* * *

‘The unit stage just ended.’

While they waited after changing their costumes, cheers echoed even under the stage.

“The two of you must have done really well!”

Sun Ah-hyun smiled brightly.

I nodded.

‘… I wouldn’t have been pushed back.’

Well, to be honest, I wasn’t too concerned about the big one.

It’s because I heard the whole story of the song selection while coming out of the shower a few days ago.

– Moondae, can I tell you something fun?

-what?

-I practiced with that basic skill? Ever since I first came in as a trainee.

-… …

-As a result, whenever I practice alone, I end up using that.

-… … how much?

-well… maybe 8 years? haha.

To put it simply, Cha Yoo-jin is attached to the song that this guy has been playing with for 8 years.

Of course, just holding on for a long time doesn’t mean you can digest that song well.

However, considering the personality of a big-headed guy, he must have already picked out all the performances that can be pulled out by tearing down all the elements of the song.

From there, he must have picked out only what he thought was good and good, and then gently seduced Cha Yu-jin, so the result was obvious.

‘A good stage came out in the direction that Sejin Keun is good at.’

In addition, Sejin added one more device.

‘… There was no solo part.’

On that unit stage, there was no single part where someone moved alone.

unconditionally moved together.

And in almost every moment the two of them moved together, Sejin didn’t take their eyes off him.

This is because the stage was organized organically so that it would be less fun to see only one person.

Of course, if you don’t have the skills, whatever you do will be of no use. But the big Sejin had skills.

So maybe all the strategies worked.

‘… He’s got a really good head.’

I nodded inwardly.

Of course, there was no time to pay more attention to other people’s unit stages.

“Ooh, our stage… Since it’s the second time, let’s do well and come back!”

It was my turn soon.
