《Debut or Die/ If I fail to debut I'll get a killer disease》[Debut or Die Chapter 045]
Advertisement
I carefully removed my hand from the handle of the front door to my room, trying not to cause any noise.
Obviously I had locked my door before I went to the shoot, I had double locked it, but now that I went back and put my key in, I realized that they had unlocked the security on my door.
'Someone got inside.'
I know it's a problem that comes with fame. The invasion of privacy.
It was an issue that had bothered me for a while, but since I didn't have much money to move to a safer place, I let it go.
'...Well, I don't have very important things inside the room.'
I hadn't done much shopping and had packed most of my clothes to take to the shoot, so there was nothing valuable in the room.
"I will quietly go out..."
But the moment I thought about it, my phone rang.
Tiiiiing!
The moment I checked the name on the screen, I realized the problem.
The walls in this room are like sheets of paper, they are not soundproof.
'I'm screwed up.'
I immediately moved away and ran to the emergency exit to hide. At that moment, I heard the door open.
Kiiiig.
I saw someone stick their head out to look around. I could only see her from behind, but it was enough to recognize that she was a woman.
It was the first time I had seen her. She seemed to be an ordinary person, but the problem was that she was trespassing on someone else's property.
I felt a cold sweat run down my back.
'It's terrible.'
I went down the stairs to the emergency exit before answering my phone.
As it appeared to me on the call notification, it was Seon AhHyun.
-Mo-MoonDae-ya... Have you had dinner yet?
"Not yet, but I don't think I will."
-W-why?
"Someone is invading the place where I live."
-W-what?
I could hear AhHyun shaking and the voices of his parents asking what was going on. I would have hung up his call, but I wasn't in a situation to ignore him.
'I will ask them to take me to the police station.'
I could call 112 for the police patrols to come, but that would cause a scandal in the neighborhood and strange rumors would arise.
Because of that, I thought it would be better to explain the situation at the police station and have them quietly take over.
'I thought it would take a long time for a taxi to arrive, but this is better.'
-Wait-wait for us. W-we're almost there. Come down immediately! W-we should report it...
"Yes, I was going to do it. I'm sorry, but can you take me to the police station?"
-O-of course!
While talking to AhHyun, I finished going downstairs. I can't believe these things are happening to me.
* * *
Fortunately, things worked out afterward.
AhHyun and his parents, who looked more scared than I was, rushed me to the police station, so I could report right away.
-Eh? Oh, she was a woman....
-Was she an unknown woman?
-Uh, yeah.
The officer looked somewhat bitter, but he mobilized anyway, so we wrap up this story.
'I didn't think it would be more than one person.'
There was four people who had invaded my room. The officers found them searching everything, messing up the crockery and the few clothes I had left behind.

It seems that these women already had a history of stalking other idols. They teamed up and followed me to determine the location of my dwelling, and now they broke into my room which had little security.
'I never imagined it this way.'
I rubbed my shrugged shoulders.
The biggest problem is that the police have been consistent in their attitude that they don't want to arrest these people.
'I was unlucky to live in this neighborhood.'
The four people who were discovered all laughed loudly as they kept trying to talk to me without showing any signs of nervousness.
-Hey!
-MoonDae-ya, can't you hear me?
-Do not pretend to be deaf. Answer me~
-Park MoonDae!
'They'll probably just get a fine.'
I must move immediately or I will be in serious trouble.
"Moo-MoonDae-ya, are you okay?"
"Eh? I'm fine."
Seon AhHyun restlessly picked up his chopsticks, but then put them down on the table. It was embarrassing because we really should be having dinner by now.
After the police investigation finished, this is what he told me.
-I-I was supposed to eat with my parents c-close to home, b-but I thought it would be nice if you had dinner with me...
-Oh. That's why you called me.
-Yes!
So now I'm in a restaurant with AhHyun and his parents.
'The ribs we were served look very delicious.'
I silently brought the meat to my mouth. Although I can't sleep right now, I should at least eat well.
"Oh my gosh, there are a lot of really weird people out there these days. How could they do that...?"
"Don't you think it would be better to contact your parents?"
AhHyun's parents must have been very surprised and so they have repeated this pattern of conversation several times.
Hmm. I thought about it for a while, but in the end I decided to tell them the truth. I have received a lot of help from them and they even invited me to dinner, so the least I can do is answer them honestly.
"Years ago, my parents had an accident, so they are no longer ... here."
I saw how AhHyun's father gulped his breath and his mother asked me in a low voice.
"Do you have any other adults you can contact?"
"I don't have anyone else."
Since I transmigrated into Park MoonDae's body, it's normal that I don't know his relatives or close people, but there was no sign that he had a guardian.
'He is too similar to me.'
Now that I think about it, it's kind of interesting. Since we both have a similar background, I wonder if that was one of the reasons I transmigrated into his body.
The atmosphere on the table was sinking, so I'll fix it first.
"But it was not like this when I was little. It's just ... there were some circumstances, although I don't have any problem living alone."
"Really?"
"Yes."
AhHyun's mother smiled instead of complaining.
"Well. You must have been busy because you have a lot to do when you are alone, but thank you for taking good care of our AhHyunie."
"No, I too have received a lot of help from him."
I turned the meat over so it would cook a bit more before eating it.

'Come to think of it, did he know that I dont have parents?'
He must have been very surprised, but he tried not to show it on his face.
'He must believe that this is the best way to react.'
So, I think the reason why Seon AhHyun followed me in the early stages of filming was precisely because of that.
'I also reacted in the same way, I did not show any regret for his stutter in the first evaluation we received when entering the program.'
My guess may be correct.
'But it's not a very important deduction.'
I shrugged and ate more meat.
On the other hand, after analyzing my situation, I think I have no choice but to sleep in my room and tomorrow I will proceed to find some other place to move to.
However, after I finished eating, I unexpectedly received more help.
"Are you going to come back?"
"They've been arrested, so they won't come today."
"B-but still..."
Seon AhHyun and his family, who were shocked to hear that I was coming back to my room, asked me to live with AhHyun until the next shoot.
"...?"
I didn't know what to say, but it's a total win, so I shut up and followed them.
* * *
While Park MoonDae was enjoying the unexpected pleasure of upgrading his residence, people on the internet were frantically spouting spoilers.
Because the show is so popular, the ban on early release of content was no longer very effective.
Viewers mentioned Cha YooJin a lot, but as a team, the mentions of the "Moon Rabbit" team were overwhelming.
The team that showed up first was so wonderful that I felt sorry for the next team.
There is a reason why he held a high position! He is so handsome
I bet all netizens will change their minds when they see your performance haha
Why is Seon AhHyun being criticized so much? He is too good
There were many people who tried to suppress or ignore the opinions about the participants of the "Moon Rabbit" team, but when the positive comments came up one after another incessantly, the negative opinions slowly disappeared.
And here was a Park MoonDae fansite master. Neither she nor her friend could win an audience ticket for the Third Team Battle, so she could only research various articles and read comments to catch up.
She is the same young woman who secretly hid her camera during the First Team Battle and became a fan of MoonDae.
'I don't have enough connections.'
Since it hasn't been long since a survival show contestant's fandom was formed, she refrained from socializing as much as possible since she had a fansite account, and as a result of not having many contacts that would give her more information, she felt defeated.
With trembling hands of hers, she clicked on the current trending post.
----
It's the first time I've been able to attend a show so I was really excited but when I got to see MoonDae's face. I felt like this was a very worthwhile experience ㅠㅠ
MoonDae's team was the first to introduce themselves, wearing rabbit masks and wearing hanboks. They looked like characters from a historical drama fused with fantasy. I couldn't stand it because it was so cool so I took a picture ᅲᅲ
His performance on stage made my heart race. It was so good that my heart is still pounding ㅠㅠ
I know there are people who say he can't sing or dance well, but they don't know because they haven't seen him live.
I'll write the performance details below!
...

She read each paragraph of the article with interest, but she couldn't resist looking at the attached photo, so she scrolled to the bottom of the article to see it.
The photo showed Park MoonDae's upper body with a rabbit mask that covered a bit of his face.
"Oh!!"
The blond Park MoonDae, wearing a navy blue hanbok robe on a starry black background, looked extremely beautiful and touched her heart.
'I should... buy material.'
(TN: Photo or video material, Ryu GunWoo's (MoonDae in his past life) business.)
She thought to herself, unable to get over her pain at not being able to see him. However, sellers of data and material feared legal problems, so they usually sold these items only after the show had aired.
The more she imagined that scene that could only be seen in the trailer for the ninth episode or maybe the tenth, the more anxiety it caused her.
"...Announcement, I'll make an advertisement..."
She tried to pull herself together by designing a MoonDae advertising to run before the next episode airs.
'No, it would be great if I could use that photo in the ad!'
She cried again and reconnected to social networks. She continued to seek reviews from the audience until the trailer for the ninth episode came out.

Living in Seon AhHyun's house provided a qualitatively different life than living in a studio room.
Of course, I had problems with the owner who rented the room to me although I compensated him for the door lock that had been damaged.
However, I had already gone through something similar in my past, before I transmigrated into MoonDae's body, so I didn't feel too bad.
The important thing is that now I could sleep in a room without mold. Also, the soundproofing is so good that I can sleep without wearing earplugs.
But today, I couldn't enjoy an environment without noise.
"No! You can't be the only ones having fun!"
Keun SeJin had come to play.
SeJin was talking in our group chat (of the three of us who were the same age) that we should watch the 9th episode together, but when he found out that I was being treated at AhHyun's house, he rushed over.
"G-go ahead!"
Seon AhHyun looked very happy. The fact that the owner of the house agrees to SeJin's presence means that I won't be able to complain.
SeJin smiled and walked into the living room, taking out the board game he had brought.
...He seemed like he was ready to start playing seriously.
Diing.
"MoonDae, someone is calling you."
"Oh, right."
The phone that rang on the table was mine.
Well, since we're on the same team, I thought it wouldn't matter if he joined us. It's okay because I won't be able to watch the show silently anyway since SeJin has come.
"RaeBin wants us to watch the 9th episode together. Would it be alright if I invited him here?"
"Eh? It's ok~"
"Y-yes, that's good!"
Since I immediately got a unanimous response, I texted RaeBin explaining the situation.
After a moment, I received the reply from him.
Hey, that's...

8 129Duck Around and Find Out
Flap never wanted to be anything more than a pond duck. He was perfectly happy with his life of mating, migrating, and eating fish. But all that changed when a spacefaring race of war-crazed giant chickens confused him for Earth's greatest gladiator, all on account of a sketchy lease deal from a few million years prior. Now Flap is Earth's Champion, unwittingly wrapped up in a high stakes conflict almost as old as time itself. Armed with a real dumbass of an artificial intelligence, a brain full of pop culture mush, and a hybrid body courtesy of an Academy Award-winning actor, Flap now has all the tools he needs to prevail in the bloody contest. The only question is whether he can learn to use them to save the Galaxy before his implant drives him nuts. Duck Around and Find Out is an absurd adventure across space and pond featuring GameLit elements, more movie and tv references than you can shake a stick at, and a cast of anthropomorphic animals that would make a furry cream their pants. Do you like ducks? And do you like space? Are you also a weirdo? If you answered yes to all three, this just might be the story for you. So if you're brave enough, Duck Around and Find Out.
