Debut or Die - Chapter 31

If you can’t debut, you’ll get a fatal disease Episode 031

“Hey, is that number 3?”

“No, did you do that well?”

“In the first place, the rank is also the highest… … .”

“The reaction wasn’t even a joke.”

When we placed third, participants from other teams around us started whispering.

Thank you, but in fact, this situation was predicted from the time the audience said that each person could cast two votes.

‘I put everything in check.’

It means that most of them are heavy viewers with participants who push them to the point where they even come to the audience.

The audience first takes a picture of the team with their favorite contestant.

And next, I would have voted for the team with ‘low rank and good skills’.

There is no point in giving votes to this team that could be a competitor to the contestants who push their main force.

If you think about it that way, to be honest, even finishing third was a save.

It means that the contestant who pushed me swept all the votes from the audience in this team as well as a few people who just came to watch.

However, the team members seem quite shocked.

“… thank you!”

Ryu Cheng-wu, who answered a beat late, bowed vigorously and greeted.

The team members eagerly followed the greeting, but it was clearly visible that they were trying to appear calm.

“thank you.”

I also shook my head.

The announcement of No. 1 and No. 2 was also postponed to the ranking announcement ceremony. Among them, there was a team that was ‘similar to the first team’ that Choi Won-gil gathered.

“Then Lord! 〈Re-listing! Idol Co., Ltd. > We will see you at the ranking announcement ceremony with the news of 1st place in the team match!”

After the MC’s closing remarks, it seems that Choi Won-gil took a peek at us with a triumphant expression.

‘Babonga… … .’

he’s always there

Is it because I haven’t tasted the spicy taste of editing yet?

In any case, this team was in a state of insanity to notice such a thing. Liu Cheng-wu patted each other on the shoulders of the team members who were applauding in a dead mood.

“great job. It would have been cool if we did our best. Let’s not worry.”

“yes… … .”

“that’s right. We did a good job!”

Well, as Cha Yoo-jin said, it was clear that he did well on stage.

So if you get a sympathy ticket with this, you won’t be cursed.

Anyway, there is no one in this team who is likely to be eliminated at the next ranking announcement. Rather, it was the best result.

The problem is editing, but unless there is another editing that saves only Ryu Chung-woo and kills everyone else, it will hit the mark. Because the stage came out well.

All of them are already attached to the fandom, so any bad side will be wiped out in the public opinion war.

Kim Rae-bin, who canceled the broadcast of the first team match, but was able to settle in the road rankings through a persistent battle with public opinion by fans, was an example.

Oh, that’s what you’re talking about.

“I… Park Moon-dae hyung.”

“Why?”

Kim Rae-bin nodded.

“I am very grateful in many ways. Can we exchange contact information?”

“okay.”

I obediently gave the number.

There was nothing wrong with being a good friend. Thanks to that guy’s song writing characteristics, I ate the arrangements raw.

Besides, given his personality, it seemed that unlike the big-headed guy who contacted me without even trying, he would quickly finish his business over the phone when needed.

Kim Rae-bin received the number and bowed his head again.

“Sometimes I will say hello.”

“… … It’s good.”

I don’t know if I’m talking to an aspiring idol or a successor.

‘Oh, I see… .’

Is this an opportunity to change the so-called ‘group of participants who are tied up’?

Since this team match ended successfully, there was a possibility that the fandom could be reorganized on its own if a few eyewitness accounts were leaked in time for the next episode to air.

Those who were tied up with ‘Park Moon-dae’ at the beginning had many risk factors in the future, from drugs to the final rankings. furthermore… … .

‘Isn’t it better to be tied up with a guy with a higher final rank?’

I couldn’t ignore the possibility that my reputation with Cha Yu-jin’s side would become less hostile if I was tied up with Kim Rae-bin.

‘That’s great.’

Hyeon-ta was not the only one to do such a calculation, but who would have lost their face when they said they would die suddenly?

“Thank you for your hard work~”

“Thank you for your hard work!”

While preparing for work and packing up, I was shaking my head from time to time when someone tapped my back from behind.

“There.”

“hmm?”

When I turned my head, Seon Ah-hyun was making a stern expression.

A guy who’s been busy for the past week and just said hello suddenly starts talking to you with a determined face?

‘Are there any bad rumors?’

Seon Ah-hyun looked around and made sure that people weren’t looking at her.

“You know Choi Won-gil Choi.”

“… ? Uh, Choi Won-gil, why?”

Why is the story of Choi Won-gil coming out all of a sudden?

‘Did I come here to curse because I was going to eat parts again?’

Surprisingly, this just-thrown idea was half right.

“You are such a mean child… !”

“… … .”

Seon Ah-hyun was almost getting mad.

No, what kind of personality do you have to have to make this Hogu so angry?

“Why did something happen?”

“Yes!!”

Seon Ah-hyun nodded vigorously and carefully began to explain the events of the last team match.

“At first, just… Now, while asking for his part.”

Oh my prediction shot was perfectly right.

“Now keep talking about yourself! I’m just being sarcastic… … .”

To summarize the following explanation of Choi Won-gil’s whereabouts, it was roughly like this.

‘I didn’t get the amount of camera in the first round, so it’s right to get some this time. I made the team, so shouldn’t I be grateful?’

‘Why did Moondae-hyung get a part and I became the main vocalist, but he didn’t give it to me. They seem to discriminate based on friendship.’

Even the latter seems to have talked while crying in an interview with the production team.

‘It seems that I learned from the last team fight that the first bread wins.’

It is said that when the team members who were hit in the back in the middle of the night were messing around, the big Se-jin calmed Choi Won-gil and sorted out the situation.

‘Considering broadcasting, it’s a wise choice.’

But thanks to that, it seems that the anger of the team members who couldn’t speak properly has disappeared.

Seon Ah-hyun’s cautious attitude turned into a completely energetic state by the end of her speech.

It was to the point where it looked like he was groping because he was pissed off.

“Joe, you have to be careful… ! Yes, I’m afraid your story will be strange… … Oh, to tell you.”

Seon Ah-hyun, her cheeks reddened, finally returned with concern as to whether she had cared about Park Moon-dae.

Perhaps the main point was this one.

It’s a funny situation, but this… … Yes.

‘I’m also a little thankful.’

A guy who tries to treat me like a real friend, not a person who manages his personal connections in this survival audition, where he is busy taking care of himself.

I feel like an idiot for sharing the ranks of groups with the kids.

‘This isn’t like a middle school class.’

My team is already losing ground in the first team match, and my future knowledge is in the process of being sharpened, but I wonder if I acted like paranoia.

I replied with a chuckle.

“Oh yes. thanks.”

“Oh no… … .”

Seon Ah-hyun was startled, then hurriedly waved her hands and returned to her usual timid appearance.

Se-jin, who appeared in the middle of the gap, came around with a shoulder strap.

He really seems to have a strange ability to fit in anywhere there is a conversation.

“Yap~ What are you guys doing?”

“that that… I was telling you.”

“what? ah… him.”

Big Sejin shrugged.

It seems that Choi Won-gil was taken as a troll enough to pass as a pronoun instead of a name.

“Next time, we don’t have to do it together. The stressed side loses. Look at this. The world is too busy to see good things.”

“Ugh huh?”

Keun Se-jin passed the topic naturally, then put something on the screen of his smartphone and turned it to Seon Ah-hyun.

It was a social media post with pictures of billboards in subway stations.

Oh, it’s already time for this.

Placing advertisements in public facilities is one of the representative supports of idol fans. I remember seeing the photos I took several times.

‘Of course, it went up as a fan account name between Data Sagan.’

Anyway, I wanted to show that Sejin’s own billboard was hung, but that wasn’t the only thing.

“braided! Are these the three of us?”

“hmm?”

Looking back, it was clear that each photo was taken of three nearby billboards facing each other.

Under the photo, there was an article registered together.

————=

[It’s Hongik University Station, but I was caught with the same age group as Aktober. It’s honorable ㅠㅠ I put a post-it on it and came back!]

——– —————-=

Big Sejin said with a smirk.

“Hey, isn’t it really amazing? How did you run ads like this? Did you discuss it?”

“… … .”

no.

You must have been fighting.

When I think about how much time and money he must have spent trying to get a large billboard at a convenient transfer station, I felt sorry for him.

‘Well, the possibility of survival of Bak Moon-dae… Thank you for your investment.’

A new problem arose. The point is that even if you debut and avoid sudden death, you must fulfill the contract period with sincerity to avoid going to hell.

When I was confused by the strange sense of debt, the big sejin went to the main point.

“Are we going to see this? Fans said they also posted messages, but isn’t it reasonable to go there once?”

“… … .”

Can’t we each keep that dory?

However, Ahyeon Seon shouted ok at once with her eyes shining brightly.

“Joe is good”

“Good good. Are you going to Mundae too? When are we going to catch it?”

It was the same way I was fishing when I watched episode 3 as a group.

but what… Anyway, as Keun Se-jin said, I had to go see the billboard at least once. Even if people recognize it, it will be easier to deal with than alone.

I looked at the two guys alternately for a moment, then just nodded.

“If you’re going, you’d better go within this week.”

“The sooner the better!”

“Joe is good!”

Listening to the happy two people diligently setting a date, I packed my things back.

I didn’t feel bad.

* * *

And two days later.

I took out the black cotton mask I bought at the convenience store the other day and put it on again.

The destination is Hongik University Station.

It’s been a long time since I’ve been stuck at home when it’s not filming time.

[Seon Ah-hyun: Would you like to have lunch after seeing our billboard? I found a few restaurants that look delicious, but if you guys don’t mind… (More)]

Message Talk came to Sun Ah-hyun.

‘It’s still a long sentence.’

While checking Sejin’s reaction to overuse of emoticons, he came out and got on the bus.

Because it was a cheap room, there was no subway within 20 minutes on foot.

‘I can move quietly at the bus stop near Hongik University Station.’

… It was a mistake to think so.

“omg.”

“Isn’t that Park Moondae?”

“omg… … . Hey hey over there!”

This is because it happened as soon as I got off the bus and crossed the crosswalk.

I hadn’t even arrived at the meeting place yet, but people were already flocking to it.

Few people recognized me right away, but it was because it was a downtown area, and crowds were calling crowds.

“who is this?”

“Are you a celebrity? Idol?”

‘I can’t do this.’

After thinking about it, I bowed my head and ran.

I wanted to respond more if possible, but the atmosphere was unusual. At this point, the ripple effect of the most popular audition program was amazing.

If you turn on the entertainment news section, it is the time when there is at least one news related to < Idol Inc. > in the rankings. It was because I didn’t go outside.

‘Now that it’s like this, you should just look at the billboard and disappear quickly.’

While I was quickly running down to the subway station, my smartphone vibrated, but I was going to check it out after evading the crowds.

and… As soon as I reached the location of the three billboards, I took stock of the situation.

Because the two people who had already arrived at the billboard were surrounded by smartphones.

‘I’ve already arrived, but it must have been a call saying that I’m at this point.’

These idiots came out without even wearing a mask.

In the meantime, people who recognized Park Moon-dae cheered.

“It’s Moondae!”

“Mundae is here too!”

It was embarrassing, but I was grateful. This is true.
