《Debut or Die Novel MTL》Chapter 87
Advertisement
Ryu Chung-woo muttered and stopped, checking the living room when he was hit by a balloon bomb. Maybe it's because I could see a rotating lens between the balloons.
The familiar reality camera is back.
'The re-shoot started today.'
Since there hasn't had much time attached to the dorm lately, so reality cameras used to be short and thick only when selecting content.
'I was already too worried about activities or daily content, so I couldn't use it anymore.'
However, since it was their first time with such a full-fledged appearance, the members entered the living room hesitantly.
And I found a large note in the swaying balloon. As for how big it was, only the shape occupied a quarter of the wall in the living room.
Cha Eugene kicked the balloon at once and approached the wall. Colorful balloons, apparently derived from the three Pantone numbers selected as official colors, flew in the air.
Cha Eugene calmly put down the note with a slightly depressed face as if he recalled being scolded last time.
I don't know if it's really necessary to do this, but for the picture for the broadcast, everyone ripped off the note.
Then, a huge roulette wheel appeared.
'...A roulette.'
Just hearing the word sounds like a flashback.
However, the members were excited about the smell of full-fledged travel content.
As Kim Rae-bin said, was written largely at the top. And the explanation was followed by proper writing below.
Even Seon A-hyun, who was a bit low on energy, clung to the roulette with excitement. The roulette had a total of 7 slots, each with a different theme written on it.
Keywords were filled with only fairly distinctive things.
'Healing would be the best.'
Looking at it, it's a schedule to go somewhere in the mountains and live in the countryside. It's the most easy-going and I feel like I won't waste my energy except for housework.
The guys who expressed their tastes for a while, probably thinking about the amount (of footage), soon couldn't stand it and stuck to the roulette with excitement.
Thanks to this, the camera caught a strange scene of the six of us spinning the roulette together.
'Please go easy.'
I murmured my wishes and touched the roulette at the same time as the members.
'Of course, it will go back, then won't it go back?'

The roulette wheel spins for quite a long time, and then barely stops.
Despite Kim Rae-bin's desperate words, the disk goes beyond the purple section of the theme park... and went all the way to the red (section).
And the theme was written in avant-garde handwriting in red space.
Cha Eugene finally realized the meaning of the pronunciation and raised both his hands with a smile.
'Cha Eugene, do you like it?'
It couldn't have been so ominous.
And after a while, Ryu Chung-woo's smartphone received a text message from the production team.
The complexion of the members began to change as if the senses trained in survival were activated.
I approached the roulette.
And I turned the roulette again.
Round and round, the roulette that was spinning hard......
It stopped on Extreme Trip again.
...I spun it again.
Round and round...... Tik.
......It's extreme.
And the members realized the situation.
...For reference, the production team we met the next day laughed and said, "We have to plan the schedule first, but of course, we can't let it take all seven."
'This jerks...'
I felt the will to extract viewer ratings from travel content somehow.
...Indeed, there was an ominous premonition.
[I checked late because of my schedule. Congratulations on winning first place on MusicGayo.]
[Thank you, sunbae-nim.]
As soon as I woke up in the morning, I was replying to a text message that came to me.
Even if I wrote down that I'm late to check in the status message, it keeps coming.
For reference, the opponent is VTIC's Cheong-ryeo.
'This bastard is really tiring.'
How could he have confirmed it too late when he was also a candidate for first place?
Of course, one of the members would have said that on the day. The public broadcast triple crown was blocked for three weeks in a row, but I couldn't have said anything.
'I think he contacted me on purpose to pick on me.'
As expected, a reply came soon.
[I hope you win first place sooner next time.]
It means, "If you avoid it on your own without making it bother me and we will each take the first place, how good would it be?".
[Thank you. I hope you have a great day, sunbae-nim.]
'I can't ignore this.'
For now, I turned off the Tok [1] notification. Every time I meet the director, all kinds of bastards are bothering me.

As soon as I turned off my smartphone, the noise began to rumble.
'It's a preparation for departure...'
It was the beginning of reality travel content.
As soon as I brought out the backpack, there were comments from here and there asking if I had too little luggage.
'Well, it's just 2 days and 1 night.'
After all, it is a package tour that goes to the production company. Wouldn't clothes and brushing tools be enough?
My image in Cha Eugene seems to have become a snack supplier.
'I feel like I've become a bread shuttle.'
I can't come to my senses with a cool title that I've never worn even in high school.
Anyway, the opening was good in front of the camera crew. Even after being fooled, everyone was excited when they said it was a trip.
'It was a forced march.'
From the time we prepared for our debut album until now, we ran without rest for about two months.
However, I should have already guessed what was going to happen from the moment the production team smirked at the members.
After about 3 hours.
We arrived at a rural village under a mountain at the end of Gyeonggi-do.
It was a bit hot, but the weather was definitely nice. The PD shouted through a loudspeaker to the members who were in a bright mood after a long absence from their outdoor activity.
The atmosphere froze.
Dudududu...... [T/N: I don't know what an aircraft sounds like so forgive me.]
A black flying object swept over the blue sky.
And it became a mess.
Lee Se-jin's face turned pale at the instructor's leisurely reply.
'What a mess.'
Still, the production team dropped the last bastion.
- If you can't jump, you can just come down. Instead, the next course doubles!
'I think the fans will get mad at them for this.'
If someone really cried that they couldn't do it, they were at the level of swearing at each other and announcing an apology, saying, "Why are you making idol reality unnecessarily sadistic?"
However, it seemed unlikely that would happen.
This is because these guys are surprisingly tough on everything.
It might be natural since they are the ones who have endured a long time in ICorp.
Anyway, from Kim Rae-bin, who muttered to himself in the corner, to Cha Eugene, who was excitedly stamping his feet, everyone jumped off safely.
Having an instructor in the back must have played a part in having some courage.
Seon A-hyun also jumped without any problems.
'Next would be me.'
I happened to be the last batter again. The surprise VCR of ICorp came to mind.
'This isn't even scary.'
It's not like I'm going to die or get hurt, so what's the matter? I just don't know what it means to give money.
Huk.
The wind pierced my face.
It was great.
... I can't even imagine it.
A bright blue sky spread out in all directions.
Beyond the blue horizon, mountains and fields spread endlessly.
The sun poked my eyes, but it was not hot. The wind swirled.
With a thud and pressure, (my) body slowly stopped in the air and began to move in the wind.
It was a great sense of freedom.
If I had continued to live as Ryu Gun-woo, would I have thought of doing something like this?
'Absolutely not.'
I would have asked why I would jump from the sky with that money.
But I'm doing it now.
And there were too many of those things. Accomplishments, performances, fans, cheers...... the sense of living life.
'......It's strange.'
It was a state abnormality and whatever, but it was good.
Strangely, I liked that I was Park Moon-dae.
The moment we landed on the ground, those who went down first laughed and waved.
...Well, an extreme trip, I don't think it'll be bad. I stepped on the land laughing.
Did I say it wouldn't be bad?
I will cancel now. The producers don't know enough.
Some of the members who were certified as cowards were already crying. The PD excitedly talked on the loudspeaker.
This detailed statement is... It means PPL [2].
Lee Se-jin muttered beside me with a gloomy face.
That's it.
...Of course, however, it didn't work, and TeSTAR started to split up into groups.

Tales of Teleios
Born as a noble free-man, the only daughter of a lord, Arete of Syracuse was an ambitious young woman who would do anything to succeed her father's position. One day, her father was exposed of his secret movement attempted to overthrow the emperor... Tales of Teleios set in the ancient Greco-Roman. It is a very standard adventure, low fantasy, alternate historical story with common archetype and predictable storyline. It is a form of artistic expression. 🏳️🌈 LGBTQIA+ Content Tag 🙇 ESL Author 📖 A Very Brief Summary 📖 (Unavoidable Spoiler) This story is about Arete of Syracuse (the protagonist) who was on a journey to find a mysterious Teleios of Eretria. Travelling with her servant Matea, her maternal cousin Agave and a former hetaira named Pryne. Throughout their journey, they discovered the conspiracy behind the Emperor Nero's eugenic system. This story explores the topic of human advancement. Tracing the idea back to the Greco-Roman world, the idea of eugenicism started when humans attempted to achieve perfection through breeding enhancements. However, The Three Elders realised that they couldn't afford waiting on the natural process of evolution. Thus, they came out with the controversial idea of experimentation through the building up of monstrosities using different body parts of animals and attempting to achieve immortality through taking over the younger human bodies. Teleios means perfection, and the center of this story is about the journey of four very flawed characters: The protagonist, Arete was a skinny noble woman who was born premature and had amenorrhea. She was supposed to be drowned by the order of Emperor Claudius due to her imperfection. While Matea was born a perfect healthy person, but has had everything taken away from her. Agave who was born out of wedlock but was fortunate enough to be adopted into a noble family. And Pryne who was on her way to have a loving family but drifted instead throughout the world after making a decision that she deeply regretted and needed to overcome her sense of guilt along the way. The story will explore some of the most controversial topics which involved detestable ancient practices such as pedarastry, where as the Empress Sporus, being the victim of it, coping with her tragic experience through acceptance of the oppressor and her struggle for not being able to conceive. In summary, the topics were largely related to gender and sex. There will be violence and gore, as most of the fantasy works does. while the author here would like to inform the readers that this is not an erotica, nor it has any sentences that involve depiction of sexual activities. Therefore, this story is not for those who seek thrill on its sexual content. A dialogue of Empress Sporus: "The world itself abused us to a level unimaginable! Yet we have to learn to love the world! Simply to live! To make our life a little easier, a little happier. So what is wrong with that? Are you expecting me to go against the emperor when he is the one and only reason I became the empress?" Said Sporus.
