《DEBUT OR DIE》56
Advertisement
"Did Park Moondae change his name?"
I didn't feel good about the back of my neck getting cold.
Anyway, I shouldn't look awkward.
I immediately picked up the microphone and said,
"...I was Park Moon-dae from the time I reported my birth."
"Laughing!"
The MC's reaction is good.
This was true.
As soon as I entered the body, I took out a copy of my resident registration, an abstract, and a family relationship certificate.'
It wasn't stupid, it was natural.
I've looked up all the factors that might be a problem.
Park Moondae continued to live under this name, and there was no other peculiarity. Except for dropping out of high school that he wrote down himself, it was clean.
"I saw the suicide note and it was because of bullying."
This means that it is not a reason to make a debut.
But that specific "confirmation of renaming"... There was definitely something on my mind.
'I'm going to search the Internet as soon as I'm done.'
"Oh, you must have asked because his name is so unique!"
The MC immediately wrapped up the question as if he felt there was nothing more to pick.
I waited for the filming to end, confirming that another participant was asked.
* * *
I just found an intensified SNS post on the Internet.
=========================
[I'm curious about what he did, but nothing comes out. Maybe he's an alien who changed his name]
=========================
'This was the problem.'
-9I was a bit disappointed.
Since the original account owner was a famous illustrator, it seemed to have quickly become a team in a short period of time. Although it's won in the fan community.
-(That makes sense!)
-He's serious about eating, so he's like an alien, so he's sent to investigate the Earth's food culture
-Moondae's dog has ears. I saw it
It didn't matter that people were laughing at these jokes, but the situation itself was a little suspicious.
'I didn't expect anything to come out.'
Park Moon-dae's birth date and name were even written on his profile.
To be honest, I thought my high school would be revealed in the middle of the show.
I couldn't help but say, "I was in the same school, but she was a little weird. He even expected to say things like, "He dropped out of school alone."
And this is a remark that won't hurt. Rather, fans would have been relieved that they were not surprised to bully anyone because they were the weak at school.
"Is it because your impression has changed a lot?"
This conjecture seemed to make the most sense.
When he first entered the body, Park Moondae was skinny and had shaggy hair. In addition, since a completely different person (I) came in, the tone, movement, and atmosphere would have changed.
But it will come up one day. I didn't even use an alias.
"I hope you come out after the program."'
It will be hard to see a smartphone until the live broadcast.
After the talk show shooting, he returned his smartphone as usual as he entered the accommodation again.
Let's just practice hard.'
Now there was only a week left until the final stage. I can't afford to think about anything else.

...but even if you don't have time to spare, you have no choice but to think about something else if you have a problem
I felt this before long.
* * *
It was two days later in the evening that it happened.
As I was half dozing off and pushing dinner into my mouth, an urgent call came from the production team.
From my experience so far, I knew I would get any interview cuts. But the atmosphere in the staff room was serious.
"Mr. Moondae."
The writer who cast me at the karaoke started talking in a barely worried tone.
"On the Internet now... There's a comment."
"......Yes."
I feel so bad about this feels so bad.
Even the author was choosing words in front of me as if he didn't know how to say this.
I held out my hands, feeling the headache coming in.
"Do you mind if I just take a look at it myself
"Well, yes."
The writer looked me up and down and handed me his phone.
I looked at the screen. I saw a familiar interface.
It is the community where the controversy over the big Sejin school violence has risen.
And I saw a title written in a big font at the top.
=========================
[Reason for dropping out of Park Moon University: He got caught stealing sanitary pads]
=========================
"......."
What are you talking about?
I was distracted by the unexpected title.
It's been a long time since I felt like I was stuck in my head.
I checked the contents with a brain that didn't work because of the shock.
=========================
Park Moon-dae graduated from Incheon City High School. I'll skip the explanation. I'm the same age as Park Moon-dae. It was Park Moondae Class 3, but he was a very gloomy and strange person. I didn't even know the name. I knew it was Park Moon Dae from Ajou University
Yeah, but don't worry after reading up to here, guys. ★ Park Moon Dae dropped out of school and got caught stealing sanitary pads. ★
Even the girl whose sanitary pad was stolen because of this had a strange rumor, so she dropped out shortly afterwards
And there are a lot of people who know this
The school violence committee was going to be held for a while. Park Moon-dae dropped out of school and ran away!
Just in case you don't believe me, I'll prove my graduation album and school uniform. But even if I don't do this, the people I know will keep coming out
[Picture] [Picture] [Picture]
=========================
Below that, there was a series of best comments from netizens from self-proclaimed municipal high school who claimed to know the case.
My spine has cooled down.
This was... there was no answer.
It was better to hit someone or steal money. You steal a girl's sanitary pad because you have nothing to steal?
Even if I saw it in real life, I would have thought it was a fool with no answer, but this happened to an idol audition participant.
"Did you finish reading it?"
I read it, but I have nothing to say.
Park Moondae, are you crazy?
'You write that you feel wronged to be left out in a suicide note after committing this kind of stupidity?'
Advertisement
Yeah, well, if you didn't steal it, you deserve it. But is there any way to prove that he didn't steal it right away?
"...Yes."
I managed to answer.
The writer didn't even mention "real or not" unnecessarily.
"We'd better think about what we should do now."
It means to take care of it or to drop out.
I swallowed and answered.
"... I'll think about it and tell you... It's."
"Yes, please hurry up."
I couldn't even speak properly.
I went back to the accommodation as it was. The room of the accommodation was empty because it was still time to practice.
I sat down on the bed because I thought I'd smash everything on top of the table.
And try to be as cool as you can... You're making a lot of efforts.
I slapped the bed.
There was a dull sound on the street, but nothing was resolved.
'Destroy it like this?'
What am I supposed to do?
There was nothing but evil in this situation where he put it in his defective body and pretended not to be and gave it to me as a level-up, and pushed me to debut within a year.
I had a headache. Should have been given that shitty flirtatious trait.
'Now... what do I do?'
The next thing that came after anger was a laughably strong sense of helplessness.
There was nothing I could do. Really.
Because I don't know anything.
If I had a smartphone, I would search for it. No, this was crazy.
This is the end because we are not looking at public opinion right now.
No matter how much I said I didn't care about what others said, I couldn't be sure if I would be fine even after seeing an unspecified number of people pouring out primary criticism.
In addition...
'......these people.'
This means what the people who cheered for Park Moon-dae would feel.
I spent my money and time as much as I could, but I wouldn't have imagined I'd be stabbed in the back like this.
It's more ridiculous because I didn't do it. It's driving me crazy.
... I've never felt so overwhelmed by the situation since I became an orphan.
"......."
Should I give up?
By the time the thought flashed across, someone creaked open the door to the accommodation.
"Well, um...."
"......."
I think just not telling you to go off now has demonstrated superhuman patience.
I kept sitting on the bed and bowing my head without replying. My brain felt like it was boiling.
"Hey, Park Moon Dae."
Then, the door burst open and a big Sejin came in.
I guess there's already a rumor going around. It was not strange that the quick-witted person noticed it first.
"Is that true?"
"I Don't know."
I thought I didn't answer, but I don't think I was able to control my mouth due to extreme stress. He was talking back.
"Why don't you know? Did you really drop out because of that?"
"I don't know."
I don't know why I'm bothering you so much. Since only the final is left anyway, wouldn't it be a benefit if I dropped out?
"...you know you're talking nonsense, right?"
I clenched my teeth.
"I don't remember."
"What?"
"I woke up trying to kill myself, so I don't remember anything. Are you satisfied?"
To do to doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo.
The sound of Seon Ahyun, who was standing awkwardly next to him, dropping the chocolate bar was loud.
I sighed. I told the truth unnecessarily.
Should I take it as a relief that I didn't talk about how I changed my body and came back to the past? If you can even see the status window, you can't take it out or beat it, and you're either a mythomaniac or a mental patient.
No, what's the point of all that now? If we don't solve this problem, we won't be able to debut in a year.
"Gee, gee, really......."
"Oh, really."
It's already hard to calm down, but you're encouraging useless conversation.
"If I had known... Leave it alone. I'll take care of it."
"... You said you don't even remember. How can you organize it?"
"Get out of here."
"If you don't know anything, it's better to have someone to talk to. You don't even have an agency."
"......."
That was right.
"It's hard to believe, honestly, but I don't think you'd lie about this. The rumor about stealing sanitary pads is even weirder."
"E, that's right."
"I don't think a quick calculator like you would do such a stupid thing."
"-!! Oh, no....... I don't mean, uh, I mean......."
Seon ahyun is out of order. Big Se-jin ignored Seon Ahyun.
"Yes, it would have been different if it was posted by the victim or his acquaintance. But looking at it, that's not it either."
My hair is a bit cold. I looked up and saw a big Sejin.
Big Se-jin sat calmly on the opposite floor.
I don't know why anyone would be so nosy.
'he's like that because I helped his work"
Still, it was unexpected to do this with the final just around the corner. I'm not in a position to care about this right now.
"First of all... let's say I don't remember this case. Do you remember when you were in high school?"
"I don't remember high school at all. When I came to my senses, there was only a suicide note in front of me."
There was a moment of silence.
"... Didn't you mention anything in your suicide note?"
"There was no specific mention of the incident. There was an expression of injustice, but that's something anyone can say at any time."
"It's you, but you're cold-hearted."
Big Se-jin smiled helplessly.
I wanted to snort, but I couldn't afford to.
"Well, there."
Seon Ahyun broke in with difficulty.
"Well, then... all, to find out if you're here, to check... I wonder if it's hard."
You mean the girl who dropped out.
"If we're filming like this, we don't have time or opportunity to find.... I wonder if I'll ever get off."
The more I spoke, the clearer the situation became.
I think the survival rate will be high if I get off the bus, turn off the emergency fire, and find out exactly what's going on.
".........Oh, don't do that."
"What?"
"Well, don't quit, you, wait, let's
TBC:( poor baby is sooo stressed:(((

Flame Beneath The Snowfall
Alto is a world governed by Tones. Magic, as one might call it. Manifested through deep mental and physical conditioning, one can control the Tones in a way that is unique to them. The power to store items in gems, transfer life, affect a person's mind, and even the more primal abilities such as control of the elements. Those who have these supernatural abilities are called 'Vassals.' People that fully manifest their abilities are not as common as one might think, and not all Vassals acquire their ability through practice, given if conditions are met. In fact, those who had received much trauma manifest the Tones more frequently, albeit spontaneously. However, the rare kind of Vassals are those who manifest it from childhood. A gift, but not without its repercussions. Alto is stuck in a transitional era, where the line between modern and dated technology is blurred. One can travel to a city that has a tall skyline, bustling with people in sophisticated clothing, or a mere town governed by a lord, all the while riding on a powered vehicle. Cultures vary: Some turn to the more dated practices such as castes, others are more inclined to set equal footing on their people, led by nobility. Some are dedicated to become scholars, studying Alto's Tones, while others set foot on hunts, protecting lone towns from the creatures of some of the still-untamed lands. And the Vassals? Those willing are took under The Organization, an elusive group, its presence said to permeate all throughout Alto, taking care of Rogue Vassals that abuse their abilities and other businesses related to their side. But what is this story all about, you may ask? Well, set your sights on the upper portions of this huge landmass that is Alto. Yes, the 'whole' world is called Alto, but that is because the majority of the known people live on this large continent. Relieve yourself of the worrying tensions everywhere, and see the white snow. Trace the piercing mountaintops and focus your eyes between the valley. A town sits there. Mido. After realizing that the memories only left in his mind was the night of his town's imminent destruction in flames, a boy finds himself grasping for every fiber of his life as he lays down flat on the ground. Beneath him was soot mixed with the white snow. Fortunately, a group of investigators, who were supposed to answer their call for help, saved him from his sorry state. With a newfound second wind, but hampered by his loss of memory, he must solve his own case: Who had the audacity to set Mido, his town, aflame? Flame Beneath the Snowfall focuses on action, with a sense of adventure, but mostly the discovery of an outside world, and the protagonist's exposure to it. Add in a whisk of soft magical elements, and you get a story that I hope will be interesting to the readers. That is not to say that my work is without the sense of unnerving atmosphere, however. As a forewarning, there are elements of gore, horror, minor elements of mental trauma, etc. so it is not for all audiences. *The book is already completed. Although I have plans to continue the story (it would have to involve much larger scope in terms of world-building), I have yet to decide when to start the next entry.
