Debut or Die - Chapter 297
Episode 297
“Hyungs are bad. I cheated.”
“Ah~ What’s wrong with Eugene!”
Cha Yoo-jin seemed very shocked to see the laser chaos during rehearsal, but declared a boycott of the conversation after seeing the main stage of the joint performance.
The reason is ‘how can you do a stage like this without me’.
‘Well, at least it took 30 minutes.’
After Testa’s stage ended, he slowly opened his mouth like that, probably feeling better.
I said, pulling the towel off my head.
“I’ll give you a laser solo next time, so swing it like a double sword.”
“Oh!! … Umm, it would have been better if we did it today!”
“Today is just one day. If we do it at our solo concert, we can do it for several months. I think that would be better.”
“That’s right~ It’s better to do it several times!”
“That’s right!”
“Then it’s better to wait.”
“OK Got it! I didn’t cheat on you.”
Now this is easy.
After accepting Cha Yu-jin’s words a few times, I continued walking.
Compared to the end of a normal concert, the body is much lighter.
‘It’s not that hard for about 5 songs now.’
Compared to a solo concert, it is almost eaten raw. Perhaps other groups involved had similar thoughts.
I opened the door to the waiting room and entered.
“Hello, Senior Testa!”
Then, I looked at the waiting camera and rookie group.
‘The same goes for these guys with sloppy hair.’
“It was really cool. Thank you so much for teaching me and helping me!”
“We were really thankful~ Fighting for debut!”
I officially greeted the debut group of < Azusa > once more in the behind-the-scenes cut like this.

I officially greeted the debut group of < Azusa > once more in the behind-the-scenes cut like this.
As soon as the camera was turned off and the board was cleared, I called one.
“Heiseung-ah.”
Gold 2.
“Nenep?”
“Shall we talk for a minute?”
“yes!”
Among the rookies, ‘They must be really close!’ After a while, Gold 2 followed me happily.
Big Sejin asked a small question.
“Isn’t Heeseung doing something wrong?”
“no.”
I lightly denied it. Big Sejin shrugged and waved his hand. I guess he guessed that he was talking about a performance in moderation.
However, I brought the Gold 2 all the way to the van parked in the parking lot.
“… ?”
“hitter.”
At this point, Gold 2 voluntarily bowed her head, probably realizing that the situation was not serious.
‘Did I do something wrong!’ is clearly visible.
‘mistake… Should I say.’
I closed the car door and threw him a can of drink.
“Oh, thank you.”
I got the gold 2 quickly and opened a drink. I waited for a while before he brought the drink to my mouth.
and the right timing.
‘… I didn’t know I’d be doing this line.’
Not that crazy guy. I held my breath and opened my mouth.
“so… What year did you come back from?”
“… !! Cool.”
Gold 2 barely squirted a drink.
I’m sorry, but that reaction alone was no different from the answer.
“Uh uh… .”
I took out another can of drink, squeezed it out of my hand, and said.
“You talk too openly.”
From the beginning, the situation was unique.
‘It’s rare for a contestant from the previous season to finish first.’
Especially if the audition was successful.
Because the production team and viewers prefer fresh faces unique to that season.
‘But this guy eventually debuted at number one.’
In addition, in this process, when Chae Seo-dam, the previous No. 1, was sent away, his attitude was too calm.
-ah… . Oh, it was kind of strange.
After the reaction to this extent, it was a bit surprising that they completely trusted our words.
‘The response was too skillful for his age.’
So the next time we met, I checked the status window.
This is what was in the bottom row then.
[! Abnormal status: bounce back]
-I really end up becoming an idol!
: ‘Failure’ when the team fails to reconcile within the period.
Doesn’t the feeling come directly from the structure?
That this is a status ailment similar to Cheongryeo’s ‘correction’ or my ‘debut or death’.
And the words this guy said while dealing with Chaeseodam.
-after… No, how could that hyung make his debut again this time… .
Even the hastily glossed over after this. The heart attack seemed to have ended here.
Gold 2 Kwon Hee-seung returns from the future.
Maybe as my next hitter.
“Starting with Chae Seo-dam’s debut ‘this time again’, your actions in general are too obvious.”
“… … .”
Of course, Kwon Hee-seung doesn’t seem to have the brain to admit it. It was worth it. First of all, the biggest problem is trust. From this guy’s point of view, he has no reason to tell me that he came from the future.
‘I have to throw the bait on my side too.’
I had information to dig out of this guy. I will have to bear it
‘I’ll start by giving this much.’
Click.
I muttered as I opened a can of drink.
“I’m from the future too.”
“Huh up.”
Are your lungs protruding?
Gold 2 covered her mouth and looked at me.
“… … .”
“… … .”
After a fairly long silence, he nodded and murmured.
“… no wonder! He said he was very good at it.”
did it work
“Oh yes.”
“Wow, I thought I was the only one, but was this really a precognitive dream? It was there.”
Words poured out from Gold 2 as if it was quite frustrating.
“Did someone else come back as well? It’s not just me. It’s usually like that when you watch dramas.”
There seems to be a misunderstanding, but let’s put it aside for now and chime in.
Also to understand the situation.
“okay. then… Did you come back because something didn’t work out while you were active?”
However, Kwon Hee-seung answered like this with a face that seemed to be dripping with sweat.
“Oh my… I wasn’t an idol.”
… what?
* * *
“… I was a model.”
“Yeep.”
I moved to the company because I thought the conversation would be long.
Gold 2 said, ‘I thought my heart was falling’, and continues to drink green tea.
“nice… . There were a lot of things that happened while modeling. So I really thought I was on the wrong track.”
“hmm.”
“So this time I quit modeling and came back to < Azusa >.”
Gold 2 put on a proud expression, saying, “I was confident because I watched this season so hard.”
“Then Chae Seo-dam… .”
“ah! That hyung, as soon as he debuted anyway, love rumors and controversy about his personality caused a stir. So I sent it without any guilt!”
So was it.
I was going to ask about my future once, but I let this guy talk a little more.
“Somehow, my older brother was good like a ghost! I really come… It’s so reassuring. It was good, but I was just worried about what this was going on.”
Gold 2 is a much more comfortable expression.
“Usually, the cause is that the earth just collapsed and sent people back to the past. Is that really the case?”
This guy is clearly mistaken that I have returned to the same time zone as him.
And this is the first time I’ve come back to the past.
Judging from the description in the status window, this guy might be the first and last chance like me.
“This is another case.”
I’ll have to find out more.
“Let’s start by checking. You’ve been back for years.”
“uh… That’s the end of the year, so um… I think it will be 11 months?”
“… … .”
1 year?
“Isn’t it great? Not even a day, I don’t know what this is.”
I was speechless for a moment and looked at him.
that… It’s almost as if you haven’t come back.
“You bought that stock. really… What did you buy bro? Have you ever bought a lottery ticket? Oh, you don’t need it.”
“hmm.”
For now, the knowledge of the future is gone. I returned to this purpose with a wry smile.
Once this is enough, it may be clear.
“I came back a little while ago. Now the future I came back to has passed and become the past.”
According to the truth check I saw last time, there are lost memories… Let’s leave that aside for now and connect the logic.
“oh my god. So, what have you found out so far?”
I intentionally rubbed my chin.
“I’m guessing on that. … If it’s okay, may I ask what you did right before you returned to the past?”
Cases so far… It’s likely a sensitive question, so I thought I’d understand if you hesitated to answer.
However, this guy’s reaction was a bit different.
“how? Oh that… It could be a bit funny.”
Gold 2 laughed embarrassingly with a cold sweat on her face.
“What is it?”
“I accidentally fell into the river and hit my head on the bridge… So really bad luck… .”
“… … .”
“Oh no! Anyone trying to help with this! I didn’t do anything stupid!! Sasin saint! There was an accident while filming. Wow, the real environment is so poor… .”
It started as an excuse, but Gold 2 seemed to have something to say anyway.
It is said that there were many twists and turns while working as a model, so when I was resting, I was stuck at home and denied the world.
Gold 2 sighed.
“… Anyway, as I fell in love like that, thoughts like ‘I will never come back to this filthy industry’ or ‘The answer was idols’… I think you did? Then, the situation really made it possible to become an idol… .”
for a moment.
“Then you now… It turned out the way you wanted it.”
“Um, can you see that?”
Gold 2 nodded. I glanced over at him.
‘The guy who came back to the past just once.’
And what you want… ‘To quit modeling and become an idol.’
… I see an angle.
I took out the variables that bothered me.
“If you had come back earlier, you could have debuted in the previous season with me… What do you think about that?”
“Uh uh… .”
Gold 2 rubbed her head with a shy expression.
“That brother. I’m sorry, but that’s a bit… .”
“… ??”
“That season was so damn poor, so it’s hard to do it again… .”
“… … ”
“Ah! And to be honest, I don’t even have the confidence to debut in that lineup! It was honestly a scam.”
… I have nothing to refute.
‘Anyway, he said he didn’t like it.’
I tapped the desk with my finger and threw out the proposition I had organized.
“Then the time you came back is the most… Would you consider it appropriate to achieve what you wanted right before your return?”
“yes? uh… .”
Gold 2 thought about it for a moment, wondering if he had ever thought of it that way, but soon nodded.
“Yes! I think only the parts I wanted to try again were organized.”
sure I crossed my fingers.
‘It’s back to the point you want the most.’
I recalled the point of view of Cheong Ryeo in ‘Truth Verification’.
The monologue of the bastard.
-If I had made it, I wouldn’t have done it like this.
… He wanted to do idol again from the beginning.
perhaps… ‘Continue until you succeed’.
And it came back to the point before debut.
‘i get it.’
It is outlined.
system. This bastard isn’t just bouncing people back to the past.
‘I’m granting your wish.’
Desire, lingering, whatever name you give it… In any case, the wishes of the parties are reflected.
According to this strand, the status ailments can be seen as coming from the same context. This is because the penalty is structured according to the direction of the wish fulfillment of the person concerned.
‘It’s just off.’
There is just a problem.
… it’s me
‘I don’t remember wishing for anything like this.’
Compared to the two cases before and after me, there is definitely a sense of incongruity.
It’s hard to think that I would have wanted to become an idol with someone else’s body out of the blue, no matter how drunk or depressed I was.
then… Is this the wish of ‘Park Moon-dae’?
why?
“… … ”
First of all, it seems that we need to explore more detailed conditions to understand the mechanism.
And it would take a case comparison to know more.
“brother?”
“… … Um, wait.”
After thinking for a while, I took out my phone and picked it up.
[Are you on tour?]
In a minute.

In the end, there is only one option.
Let’s cross-validate.
