Debut or Die - Chapter 220
If I can’t debut, I’ll get sick to death Episode 220
To be honest, I didn’t have any great intentions about taking the GED.
It just seemed like there would be no harm in living at least in case of a high school diploma.
‘There’s no way that those who say they’re middle school graduates will be quiet just because they passed the GED, even though they wore their hair like that in variety shows.’
So, I just solved the past workbook once and finished without being conscious of it as if I was updating the TOEIC when the time came.
I even prepared for the official exam after graduating from college, but I wondered if I wouldn’t be able to pass the GED.
And as I thought, looking at the score of the previous exam, it was a pass.
“I just need to go quietly.”
It was the conclusion reached by covering the graded problem book.
Our activities ended yesterday, and we weren’t at the level of taking a vacation yet, but we were relaxed enough that our official schedule came out every other day or two.
Even so, I will have to prepare for the next album again after taking a break for about two weeks, but it means that there will be no problem taking the GED the day after tomorrow.
I crossed my arms.
‘Let’s not talk about it.’
There was nothing good about the news of my GED getting out of public opinion.
From useless sympathy public opinion to the worst case where a stalker becomes a nuisance to the exam hall, only unexpected situations increase.
Wouldn’t it be just annoying in the yard where monitoring was already restricted?
‘I don’t have to tell the others.’
It’s a long-awaited day off, so let’s all play on our own.
[Looks like these fucking KPOP bands!]
“Wahhahaha!”
Immediately outside the door, the sound of Cha Yoo-jin’s laughter was loud.
I think I’ve been watching 〈K-NOW〉 from the 4th episode, but thanks to that, I effectively trained for a mock test in the middle of the noise.
However, I don’t know why Cha Yu-jin is laughing.
‘The atmosphere seems to have changed a bit since episode 4.’
Unlike the beginning of the episode, which felt like ‘no-response officials are playing tricks with KPOP hell camp’, from the 4th episode, the stories of the participants were illuminated and a consensus was formed.
[Since my parents passed away, I’ve never had the feeling that other people ‘care’ about me.] [
I really need the prize money. For the sake of the family.]
And naturally, the editing of the participants’ attitudes changed a bit to match the atmosphere.
Unlike before, when he was in pain at the camp and fell out like an extra villain in the KPOP bombing, he showed that he felt real worth while completing the stages one by one.
[I don’t think I’ve ever pushed myself 100% like this.]
[They’re real. Factory training? Eat all the X’s! This effort is real and they train like athletes train!]
And even forming a consensus with KPOP mentors.
For example, the family history of ‘Park Moon-dae’ was intertwined with the participant’s story and used a little.
Oh, I hear a sound outside the door, as if the scene mentioning me is passing by.
[After my parents passed away, I lived as a trash doing shit or drugs, but my mentor went to the audition and won.] [
This really means a lot to me.] It
was just a scene where I was just giving tips on how to find a camera during the performance, but it was well organized with an interview. got it right
Maybe it’s because he doesn’t feel that he’s tired of it abroad yet, but he seems to be able to communicate well with the Shinpa code.
‘I’ll share some of the cast… Should I skip it?’
Come to think of it, I already heard the news that season 2 production was confirmed.
‘I hope there will be a lot of influx into the next album.’
I hurriedly opened the door and walked out. Cha Yoo-jin turns her head at once and shouts with her eyes flashing.
“brother! My brother is amazing, he is a wonderful person!”
“Oh thank you.”
They are on the verge of shouting ‘love yourself’ at any moment. he’s really american
I went to the kitchen and poured water.
“Has everyone gone out?”
“I don’t know! I’m awake now!”
It’s 2pm now, and I’m really proud to say it.
Actually, during my promotional period, I lived sleeping three to four hours, so even if I slept for twelve hours for a few days, they would treat me like a lazy person.
“Hyung, let’s play!”
“Later.”
“Do it now!”
“You saw something. You should see all of that.”
“aha.”
It’s over a term. There’s a half chance that you’ll forget that you said you’d like to play a game while watching a variety show.
I sat down at the table and drank slowly. After a while, Saejin Bae came out of the next room.
“Have you been sleeping? I did too!”
“Oh no, just… I read a book.”
“no way.”
Sejin Bae had a comfortable face for the first time in a while.
After being in the same room as the big guy, I sneaked out into the living room and saw him sitting in the corner, but he probably isn’t in the room right now.
‘Come to think of it, Seon Ah-hyun wasn’t in the room either.’
Sejin Kim and Chungwoo Ryu are said to be so, but even Kim Raebin and Seon Ahyeon, who don’t go out often, are inactive.
“… excuse me.”
“yes. Would you like some water?”
“uh? uhh… .”
I gave water to Bae Se-jin, who walked into the kitchen.
Bae Se-jin stood with a bewildered face holding a glass of water in his hand, then asked without even drinking.
“… What do you have to say?”
“… ? Not really.”
I bet he wasn’t expecting an offer to change rooms.
I’m sorry, but the favor ends with water.
“Um, yes.”
Bae Se-jin seemed to be wriggling his eyebrows, but without saying anything, he quietly drank the water and went back to his room.
‘What.’
There was a nuance that he had something to say, but given the atmosphere, it didn’t seem serious, so I passed it on.
‘If I’m scared, I’ll tell you on my own.’
It’s the beginning of the inactive period, so let’s take a break too.
I shrugged and put the water cup in order. There was nothing to do, so I thought about solving the problem one more time.
“brother! I saw them all!”
… And after a while, I played a few games with Cha Yoo-jin, who had not forgotten the game even after watching all the variety shows.
To be honest, I was bored because there was nothing to do, so it was worth doing even if it was a bit annoying.
[How about hovering? My friend said it was fun last time!]
“Do whatever you want.”
Looking back, I shouldn’t have skipped it like this.
Two days later, in the morning, I received something I could never have imagined.
* * *
The morning of the GED exam.
I set the alarm to vibrate only to wake me up.
‘I’m sure everyone is sleeping.’
I quietly got out of bed and went to the bathroom to wash my face.
But when I came out of the bathroom, the bed opposite was empty.
‘… … ?’
Seon Ah-hyun, where did you go?
‘Did I use the bathroom here and go down to the living room?’
It was when I put on my street clothes and cautiously opened the door, making the most probable guess.
The first thing I felt was… it smells A very savory smell of food.
And a booming voice was heard.
“Park Moon University came out!”
“… ?!”
When I looked up, my roommates filled the bright living room and kitchen.
‘what’s this.’
Just as I was about to think about what day it was today, Big Sejin approached me, clapping his palms.
“Oh my gosh Mundaemundae~ They said they had an exam today!”
“… … !!”
Big Sejin was smiling. And looking around, the other guys are no different.
Knowing everything is an established fact.
“How did you know?”
Big Sejin shook his head with exaggerated pity.
“Moondae, let’s not forget that we live as a group… The smartphone screen you see… The person next to you can see clearly.”
“… !!”
“No, how? Don’t you have a word to say to the members~ Aren’t you too heartless?”
“It’s not a college entrance exam, so I don’t have to say it… .”
“Heukheuk, such a pitiful word!”
“that’s right! I’m sorry!”
“… … .”
These guys are deliberately pretending to be sad. did you have fun
At least, the rational explanation came from Ryu Chung-woo.
“It’s a day when everyone has time and is at the dorm… I thought it would be nice to give a surprise send-off. haha.”
“… yes.”
This… A bit unexpected. I don’t have to.
“Considering my older brother’s desire to take the exam quietly, we have decided to refrain from seeing him off to the exam site.”
That’s an accurate judgment.
But it didn’t end here.
“So… We made this all together.”
Seon Ah-hyun, who was standing at the back, quickly moved the ladle and set the bowl on the table.
What’s in it… It was chicken porridge.
“… … .”
“I want to make chicken soup! But everyone was against it!”
“Since it’s before the poetry exam, I thought it would be good to be familiar with it.”
“Chicken soup is delicious… .”
The burnt-out chicken soup, which looks like it came from hell, automatically comes to mind.
It’s almost unbelievable that it evolved into such a perfect chicken porridge through two processes.
“Ahyeonie worked hard… Sejin, so Bae Sejin did a lot. Among us, the only ones who can cook are Rabin and Sejin.”
“It seemed that Bae Se-jin was more knowledgeable than me!”
“Not quite like that.”
Bae Se-jin coughed. okay. Both Kim Rae-bin and you are stubborn.
‘I managed to make it.’
I was at a loss for words while looking at the chicken porridge, which looked like it had been made with great care.
a little… I’m embarrassed, but I’m sorry.
“How is it, Moondae? I’m so grateful… Are you speechless? I know everything, eat deliciously~”
Excellent. sorry disappears
“What did you do?”
“Ayy, we all went to the grocery store together~ If you deliver it, you’ll get caught. Where did the material fall out of thin air?”
So yesterday, all of a sudden, everyone was absent. I don’t think I managed to find out and put it in the refrigerator.
“How do you understand?”
I sighed, but finally smiled bitterly.
“Yes, thank you.”
“… … !”
“Thank you everyone.”
“Thank you.”
“Eat quickly!”
Anyway, I ended up eating chicken porridge while sitting among those smirking.
“… Do you have any taste?”
“yes. It’s delicious.”
I thought I was pretending.
But I didn’t know what else I would hear if I left it, so I emptied it clean.
… It was also something to be thankful for.
“Would you like another bowl?”
“it’s okay. Seriously, don’t take pictures of you.”
“Huh? You don’t want to share this important moment with Moondae fans? The members worked so hard on cooking~”
“… … .”
yes, do as you like
It’s not like you’re hitting a notice right away just because you’ve taken the GED, but it’s okay to post that Moondae Park ate breakfast later.
“Do you want me to pack the leftovers into a lunchbox?”
“Um, yes. thank you.”
Actually, I did pack something to eat for lunch yesterday… You can come back and eat it.
I left the inn at the right time, carrying a thermal container of chicken porridge and being seen off by the others.
“Get a perfect score~”
“Eat something delicious for dinner!”
I felt odd.
‘I brought a cheap lunchbox with me during the college entrance exam.’
I didn’t expect to eat something like this while taking the GED with someone else’s body.
‘… Let’s have a good test.’
If I don’t pass, I think it’ll be really funny, so it won’t happen, but I’ll have to pay more attention.
After putting on a mask, I put on a ball cap and hit the road.
The test site was not far, and it was easy and quiet to arrive by taxi.
And, of course, no one was interested in me. If I had asked the company for security personnel, I would have been criticized for interfering with the exam.
‘Not one or two dressed like me.’
There are so many different age groups, so the usual outfit like me is not buried.
Thinking that I had done well not to leak the news unnecessarily, I sat down at my desk and took out a pen.
It was a long test.
* * *
Ahn at a GED test site in Seoul.
As Park Moon-dae said, different people of various ages were sitting at their desks.
However, there was something that Park Moon-dae did not expect.
All in all, there were people who had a huge fan heart that could identify any idol just by looking at its skeleton.
‘Bar Park Moondae??’
Yes.
A student who was putting his bag on the seat behind the desk at Park Moon-dae froze when he saw a familiar back in front of him.
That bone, that hairline at the back of that neck.
All kinds of backseats of Park Moon-dae’s direct cams that he looked for countless times reflexively overlapped.
And an instinct-level realization hit my head!
‘Wait, it’s inactive now… And because Mundae dropped out of high school! Couldn’t you come for the test??’
Thoughts rushed in like bombs. Of course, the ego of the test taker was also shouting that it was an absurd delusion.
“… … .”
However, after a while, the examinee, who got out of the vortex of all kinds of thoughts, thought hard.
‘I have to be careful!’
The possibility of that is extremely slim, but it is rude even if Park Moon-dae is hit, and it is rude even if he is not.
Firmly resolved, the examinee cautiously sat down at her desk.
That’s how the thrilling GED test began.
