《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.
