Debut or Die - Chapter 140

If I can’t debut, I’ll get sick to death Episode 140

I accessed the pre-installed bank app.

‘It should have been deposited by now.’

I heard the story that the settlement money will come in yesterday.

In fact, the contract was signed with quarterly settlement, but last year, the company was in a mess, so it was temporarily suspended under the condition that the legal interest rate was attached.

So, in April, last year’s settlement and this first quarter’s settlement were deposited at once.

If it was an ordinary office worker, it would have been a blank space to sue the company, but there was no one in a hurry right away and the contract period was long, so it passed without much fuss.

But no one hates money.

Thanks to that, I wasn’t the only one who immediately looked at the settlement amount as soon as my schedule ended on Monday, April 22nd.

“Ugh!”

I heard a choking sound from the bed next to me. It’s Bae Se-jin.

‘The amount must be large.’

I thought so. Because the grades were so good and I even had a concert.

‘Still, I don’t really feel it.’

I inertia pushed the main account of the app and checked the new account.

And I doubted my eyes.

[Korea General Deposit]

[1 146 193 520 won]

‘… 1.1 billion?’

1.1 billion??

An amount that could not be touched even with organ trafficking was floating on the screen.

“… … .”

I was speechless.

Was this the amount you could earn after working for 9 months?

It was true that I rolled over without sleep and under a lot of pressure. And in the long run, it was also the accumulated amount of high school students since < Azusa >.

However, if you can receive 1.1 billion, it is a scary business because there is too much left.

‘No matter what, 1.1 billion… It’s beyond my imagination.’

I thought I should check the balance sheet. I checked the e-mail opened for company reception.

Strange e-mails were piled up like bombs, but after roughly filtering them, I was able to find the settlement e-mail.

I skimmed quickly.

“… … after.”

1.1 billion was correct.

And I also found out the cause.

‘There is no trainee fee.’

This means that the company’s pre-investment costs have not been captured. Thanks to this, the net income was settled as soon as it occurred.

Album event advertisement music concert… …

In addition, the proportion of participation in the production was large, so the copyright fee was quite high.

‘Kim Rae-bin should have received more.’

Just then, screams were heard from the next room. It seemed that Kim Rae-bin was on the phone.

Perhaps someone in the family called in surprise.

‘What a mess.’

It was a normal amount even though there was a fuss. It still doesn’t feel like my money.

“Did you see you??”

Bae Se-jin spoke with a red face. It must mean that he saw the settlement money.

“… yes. now.”

“Is this enough to buy a house in Seoul? If you take out a loan… … .”

It depends on what kind of house it is.

However, Bae Se-jin seemed excited as the initial achievement of his plan to secure a good home was quickly approaching.

But the calculation is wrong.

“That’s the amount before taxes.”

“uh … uh?”

“Since it is a high amount, the tax rate will be high, so don’t think about spending it all, and be sure to consult with a tax advisor before filing your comprehensive income tax return in May.”

“… … That’s right.”

Bae Se-jin blankly affirmed, then sat back down on his bed.

It seems to be back to reality.

And I also came to my senses while advising Bae Se-jin.

“I thought you would be familiar with settlement payments.”

“It’s the first time I’ve paid anything like this… … .”

Bae Se-jin threw his face into the hamster body pillow.

It’s been useful since before.

“What’s going on… ?”

Even Seon Ah-hyun, who was washing, heard the sound and poked her head out of the bathroom.

“Confirming settlement.”

“Ah ah.”

Seon Ah-hyun smiled as if she was relieved. It didn’t seem like he was very curious.

“Are your parents taking care of you?”

“Eww! I’m getting some pocket money… … .”

Seeing as the last time I gave out a department store gift certificate as a birthday present, that pocket money is probably quite expensive.

‘Come to think of it, I haven’t even used that gift certificate yet.’

As soon as the award ceremony season ended, I prepared for a concert and a new album, and I forgot about it because it was my promotion period.

‘Finally tomorrow morning… Well, I don’t have a schedule.’

It was the only time I had free time during the day for the next two weeks, including weekends.

Let’s double check first.

“It’s like we don’t have schedules tomorrow afternoon, right?”

“Uh uh! right why… ?”

“I’m going out for a bit.”

“… shopping? Are you a bank?”

Bae Se-jin intervened. He said he would leave as soon as he got paid, so he seemed to have guessed.

I nodded.

“yes. shopping.”

“… Then do you want to go out together? I have to go to the bank too.”

“hmm… that’s a bit.”

“what?”

I stroked the back of my neck.

“I’m thinking of going to the dessert shop.”

“… … ?”

“one… About seven.”

“… ??”

* * *

So the next day, Tuesday. I ended up wandering around the city of Seoul leisurely by myself.

… … No, I wasn’t planning on going.

“It’s nothing. Isn’t that the blue sign over there?”

“I think you can get off at the first alley on the right, driver.”

When I looked at it, two tails were attached.

Sun Ah-hyun and Kim Rae-bin followed suit.

-I wanted to go out too… !

– Dessert? It’s my sister’s birthday next week and it sounds like a really good time to pick out one of the gifts.

… well do that

By the way, Bae Se-jin came and dropped it off at the bank. It was a benefit because it saved the taxi rental cost.

‘Now I don’t have to worry about the taxi fare.’

It was a bit strange because it had been so long since I hadn’t had to worry about money in my life.

And soon after, the taxi driver stopped the car at the first destination.

“Well, we have arrived~”

“Thank you.”

When I got out of the car, the two of them, who were shining brightly in the back seat, quickly followed.

“Doesn’t it taste good?”

“I have high expectations.”

I don’t think it would be a very common picture of three men wearing masks and hats going into a specialty dessert shop… what happened

‘There aren’t many people on the road.’

It seemed like it was 9:30 on weekdays.

The two members and I entered the newly opened store as the first customers.

“Hello… … omg.”

“hello.”

And as soon as our eyes met, I was smitten. I felt it before, but now it seems that the mask is useless.

“Uh uh… heck wow… … . I am listening to the song very well, huh.”

“thank you. Please wrap each type of dacquoise, one by one.”

“yes yes?”

“Please wrap all of them, one for each flavor.”

“Ah ah yes!”

I’m sorry, but I didn’t have much time.

I exchanged handshakes and autographs for packaged dacquoise.

“Uh huh huh.”

… I’m glad you’re enjoying it though.

Then I looked back at the two of them standing in bewilderment.

“Aren’t you guys picking?”

“ah!”

The other two also shook hands and chose dacquoise.

I went straight to the checkout counter.

“Please pay together.”

“Ah yes!”

both were freaked out

“I’m fine!”

“If you sort by the settlement amount, it’s right for me to buy… No, I’m not trying to be condescending, but in the sense that it’s okay… … .”

I smiled.

“it’s okay. I was asked to come out.”

“brother… … .”

“It’s dumb… … .”

If I had brought Cha Yu-jin or Keun Se-jin, I would have shamelessly ate them, but these two are sitting there, impressed.

The two smiled as they were handed the packaged dacquoise.

“I’ll eat well!”

“thank you.”

And as soon as he came out of the store, Kim Rae-bin realized something.

“Oh, I need to buy my sister a birthday present.”

“I think it would be okay to choose slowly. Because there are many shops left.”

“yes?”

The two narrowed their eyes.

“Isn’t that why you picked it because you bought it here?”

“I thought you had a lot of candidates in case you didn’t like it, but… …

“It’s not.”

I shook my head.

“I will live in all seven places.”

“… … !!”

And it really did.

So, by noon, both of them were sitting in the cab, sobbing.

I packed the box and set it down at my feet.

all seven. All purchased successfully. I’ve already tasted one.

There was an unexpected event in the middle of hugging someone who came running while waving an album, but it went smoothly.

‘The last one was a bit close.’

The person whose eyes met at the cashier screamed loudly, so as soon as I received the macarons, I just said hello and ran out of the store like a thief.

“It’s over… ?”

“uh. end.”

“Ahhhh… … .”

Seon Ah-hyun melted down. He seems tired of meeting a lot of people.

I don’t know why the guy who doesn’t eat much sweets because he’s taking care of his body anyway kept following him.

‘Is it because of a sense of alienation?’

Due to Sun Ah-hyun’s personality, it might be that she didn’t like going out alone after going out with a group of people.

Anyway, the reason why you didn’t bother to come along during break time… It was something I was thankful for apart from efficiency.

“Are you going home now?”

“uh. let’s go.”

I took a taxi back to the hostel.

And instead of going up together at the accommodation we arrived at, we only left dessert.

“Tell them to share with the people in the accommodation.”

“Huh huh?”

“I just remembered something I’m going to do.”

I sent the two guys home and got into a road taxi.

And I took a picture of the navi again.

“department store?”

“yes.”

After finishing my business, I returned home about an hour later. When

I

opened the front door and went in, my eyes met Cha Yoo-jin, who was eating dacquoise with her cheeks exploding in the living room.

“… … .”

“it is delicious! thank you!”

“what… okay.”

He was not a fat guy and he liked sweets, so he could be considered the right person.

“Which is the most delicious?”

“This one.”

Strawberry Macarons. I remembered the store name on the wrapping paper.

“You ate the sweets well, Moondae.”

“What.”

“Didn’t he buy us a smoke screen because he got a girlfriend at Moon University? I believe you~”

“Are you crazy?”

After saying goodbye to Ryu Cheng-wu, I hit the back of the giggling Se-jin and went back to my room.

Beyond Bae Se-jin, who was reading a book in bed, I could see Seon Ah-hyun, who was using a scrubber at the desk.

“It’s nothing. Is your job done well?”

“uh. And this.”

“Ugh huh?”

I held out what was in my hand.

“It’s a bit early, but… It’s a birthday present.”

“Uh huh!?”

Seon Ah-hyun was frightened. Sejin Bae raised his upper body.

“It’s Seon Ah-hyun’s birthday… ?!”

“Oh no… ?!”

It was like a conte that the two of them were embarrassed side by side.

“It’s two weeks later, but I don’t have time to go out until then, so I’m giving it now.”

“ah… … .”

Bae Se-jin was relieved and lay down on the road.

Sun Ah-hyun shook her head.

“That’s right, thank you… !”

“It was nothing.”

… … Let’s not bother to say that he used a department store gift certificate he gave for that gift.

“W Can I open it?!”

“of course.”

Seon Ah-hyun immediately opened the package.

And it hardened into the coat that appeared.

“… ! You’re not too expensive… … .”

“no.”

The guy who gave me the gift certificate says all kinds of things.

I put another shopping bag from the department store under the bed. It took a little while because the bag was large.

‘… I think I made a good choice.’

I should have taken Seon Ah-hyun instead. I regretted it briefly, but I couldn’t help but buy it already.

Bae Se-jin glanced at him.

“What is that?”

“A gift.”

* * *

And that Sunday, at the early morning station where the pre-recording for Testa’s last music show was held.

Testa fans who arrived at the scene were given a rather large box one by one.

[Testa calls.]

[Midnight and Lover♡]

“… ??”
