《Debut or Die (MTL)》72

ㅤㅤ
ㅤㅤ
Last midnight, I heard that the music video of "Magic Boy" was released.
But there was no time to monitor it. Cha Yu-jin's half-asleep nonsense will prove it.
"Hmm? Is your hair done?"
"I finished my hair a while ago, and now I'm moving in the car."
"Oh...."
Cha Yoo-jin fell asleep again with a whitish exclamation.
Yeah, I've been traveling around since last night, polishing, filming, interviewing...….
Since I couldn't sleep well for the past month, it wouldn't be strange if someone was confused about who I am and who I am.
"Hey, now it's a showcase...?”
"That's right."
Seon Ahyun, who asked her manager with a feeling of uncertainty, could hear her breathing in. It seems that he is nervous because it is just around the corner.
"Well, what I've been preparing for this month... Let's show them everything. Wherever you are, you don't betray the amount of practice."
"Of course."
"Yes, yes!"
Several members who were awake responded to Ryu Chung-woo's encouragement, whose voice was hoarse.
And Kim Raebin, who was sitting next to me, murmured quietly.
"…In fact, the proportion of practice is high compared to the period, but the absolute amount of practice is not enough…….”
“…….”
When I looked at him in silence, the words changed.
"I think I can perform passionately enough on the stage."
"Yes."
I'm glad he's not sociable, but he's a self-conscious man.
* * *
Most of the reporters attending the showcase had high expectations.
It's not about TeSTAR's ability, it's about the topic.
"First, I'm sure we'll pick the number of articles."’
"If you fail, it's good as long as you fail."’
Both the photographer and the reporter writing the column eagerly waited for the showcase to begin.
And shareholders who purchased stock packages from "Aju Temple" sat in front of and behind reporters.
Most of them brought slogans and cheering tools. The shape and color were different because the official cheering sticks haven't come out yet, but I still felt the excitement of the fans.
In the overall excited atmosphere, the opening began with a light on the dark stage.
Wearing the same baseball uniform that he wore in the music video, Testa performed the stage more accurately than in the music video.
The choreography often featured jumping movements that moved the body excitedly to match pleasant songs.
Whistle!
Whenever I turned or bounced my foot to the whistle, the concentration on the stage increased significantly.
"You're good."
"The song is good, too!"’
The talented ad-libs, such as playing rock-paper-scissors or greeting each member, were also deftly cute.
"They don't look like a rookie."’
"People from auditions are good at this kind of stuff."
Reporters worked hard to win the title by sublimating the favorable sentiment into a fuss.

In the meantime, Testa members who finished the opening went in for a while. And instead, the MC came out and took the time.
It was a face that everyone here knew.
"Hello~"
"Oh! Oh!"
While fans were feeling both welcome and disgust at the familiar MC of "Aju-sa," under the stage, TeSTAR changed their clothes with the help of the staff like crazy.
"Oh, my head!"
"I can't take off my baseball uniform..”
While TeSTAR, wearing a school uniform jacket with a colorful shoulder, ran out, the MC skillfully led the audience's response.
"Wow, it's been a while Juju! What? You're not happy to see me? Let's not do that between us. We've known each other for three months! Of course, you're the only one who saw my face."
A moment of laughter, playful boos, and cheers. The MC smiled and introduced the next stage.
"Well, I hope you'll meet your stock for the first time in a while. Your stock, it's flying!"
And on the stage where the lights came on again.
TeSTAR laughed and started dancing to the intro.
It was me.
“…!!”
It hasn't been long since the end of the show, and the audience was overwhelmed with strange sentiments.
In addition, it was new to see Testa singing "Right away" with a smile by dividing parts with each other's parts.
It was like watching the epilogue after the happy ending, so the audience enjoyed the stage with a warm heart.
"Finally, he wakes up and shines."
Eventually, a chorus of voices continued.
Testa sang with a louder smile, embarrassed in a good sense.
Even the reporters who watched "Aju Temple" nodded, and it was a fun pop song time.
But it didn't warm everyone's hearts.
Some of them were chilled to the bone.
"Your songs are all done."
"Are you excited after sharing your parts?"’
They were fans of the "Ajusa" eliminated contestants who attended the showcase with a crooked mind.
Of course, most of the eliminated fans were just enjoying the stage.
Even if it was not a favorite participant, there was a member who had some affinity for the test.
However, everywhere there were a few exceptions.
"It was the Challenger version! Thank you~"
The incident occurred after the next song was over, and the members were talking for a while.
"This version! I really wanted to do it!”
"Yes, congratulations. Cha Yu-jin is a child.”
"He."
Cha Yoo-jin was excited that she had tried a different team version of "Final," the song she did in the final, and the other members were looking at it cuter than when there was no camera.
Reporters did not ask particularly malicious questions. However, I asked some sharp questions or some small pitfalls.
"You all look close. Who's the member that you're not close to the most?"

"Well, the album was prepared in a very short period of time. How was it possible?"
"VTIC made a comeback a few days ago on the 12th. What do you think?”
It was all in the expected question, so Ryu Chung-woo and Keun Se-jin gently blurred the topic as they threw each other.
"We're all getting close~ But we all got weird camaraderie while doing 'Ajusa'... We got to know each other faster than we expected. We're surprised!"
"We were able to proceed quickly because the company had already prepared for the album. I would like to take this opportunity to thank Director Kwak Shin-kyun and the staff."
"When I meet VTIC sunbae, I want to get an album autograph! It was on my bucket list!"
It was the moment when the survival interview skills learned by the members to avoid editing by the devil shone.
And the right question was asked.
"You chose two title songs. What's the charm of that's different from the previous performance?"
"Oh."
Ryu Chung-woo tried to hold the microphone reflexively, but after a short judgment, he handed over the answer to Park Moon-dae, the inventor of the idea.
"It's not a weird question, so it's okay to text."
Although it was an act of complete consideration, Park Moon-dae was not a big fan of interviews.
"Oh my gosh."
Still, I can't turn the microphone back, so Park Moon-dae picked up the microphone calmly.
"The magic boy is.."
It was then.
“……1”
"Oh!"
Something translucent bounced off the stage a little below and hit Park Moon-dae's arm.
"Be careful..."
Ryu Chung-woo pulled Park Moon-dae with his fast reflexes, but he couldn't stop it properly because he flew quite hard.
“…….”
Park Mun-dae stared down at his arm.
It was all wet.
"You threw a water bottle."’
Water dripped from the splendid shoulder to the sleeve.
Seeing that his forehead is cold, he seems to have some splashes on his side face.
My elbow was a little throbbing.
'You threw it hard.’
In an instant, the concert hall hardened with embarrassment.
There were all kinds of sounds among the audience, from murmurs, worried murmurs, and small screams.
And the reporters were happy.
"This is so..."
"I don't know who it is, but you did a great job."
Park Moon-dae quickly grasped the situation.
First of all, there are no strange ingredients.’
Considering that the forehead was fine, it was not hydrochloric acid or alcohol. Even in the worst case scenario, the guy who threw would have had some saliva.
Then I'll just skip it.’
The whole accident was over for three seconds.
It was possible thanks to his adolescence, which he always had to measure the situation.
Park Moon-dae laughed.
"You're quick-witted.”
“…!?”
"I think you predicted my answer."
And I took off my jacket. Inside the jacket, a uniform shirt that fans already know was revealed.
It was the white summer uniform of the magic boy's music video.
"If you look at the performance in person, the differentiated charm of this song, hmm. You'll be able to check it out... That's what I thought.”
"…Ah!"
The members quickly grasped the atmosphere, and they took off their jackets and threw them to the side.
"Then I'll start right away with the push. Magic boy."
Park Moon-dae swept his still wet side hair and grabbed the microphone back.
Soon, the sound of the orgel filled the concert hall.
In the dreamy purple stage setting, wet-haired Park Moon-dae opened his mouth.
And fans at the scene quickly forgot about the water bottle incident.
* * *
TeSTAR's showcase was within an hour, never long. However, even before it was over, articles and reviews were posted one after another.
Of course, there was also an article that mentioned happening.
If you click on an article titled this, you can definitely see a photo of Park Moon-dae in his summer clothes shaking off the water left over his hair.
Or there was a picture of throwing a wet jacket. The water on the shoulder splashed and reflected on the lighting rather saved the aesthetics.
Photos that fit the water bottle were sometimes posted, but most of them captured the video they were taking, so the quality of the dynamic scene where the object was inserted was not good.
Still, the reaction was clear.
- What kind of crazy guy is he doing to throw a water bottle at an idol who's making a debut?
- He threw it in his face and If Chungwoo didn't pull, he would definitely get hit in the face
- It's obvious that he's a real soldier
- He got caught, right? Please tell me he got caught and taken
- I'm sad that I can't go to the showcase and watch the performance late, but that guy took my place? LOL Please die
- Fans were furious, but deeply relieved by Park Moon-dae's response.
- ㅠㅠ If I didn't do well, it would have ended in a nervous way, but I'm glad that Moondae-ya fixed it well
- You must have been flustered, but it's amazing that you just let it go naturally...
- I think Park Moondae-ya was just saying that because she didn't know what to doI think the interpretation of the character was accurate
└여Are we talking about characters here? get the hell out
- If the members were moved when they saw him take off his jacket, I think we get along well
Still, WeTube's cyber-recars did not miss this good prey.
Thanks to this, the title briefly appeared on the popular video in real-time on the day.
Funny, thanks to the good response, all of this has brought about buzz like viral marketing.
"Hyung, did you see this?”
And the news reached the ears of VTIC, who just finished their first week of activities.

Knight’s Fate: Knight and Princess
When war finally ended, the Arcadians sought retribution from the nightmares they had suffered from demonkind. A noble Princess had taken her mother's mantle in order to uphold peace between the two races so humanity could co-exist with their fellow demons in a kingdom without strife, but war paved the road to peace in blood and such path is but a fragile thread awaiting to be ignited by the flames of hatred. Another great war awaits, but will she be able to avert it?Second iteration of the Knight's Fate saga chronologically speaking. Yes I'm starting from the second because the first was an utter failure when I tried to write it, it just didn't fit the mood of a fantasy novel unlike this one. Though don't worry this doesn't mean you can't enjoy this one before I write the first. This is the first story I've actually published so I appreciate any feedback, be it good or bad just let me know what you think.
