《Debut or Die [fan translation]》Chapter 45

Advertisement

I carefully removed my hand from the handle of the front door so as to not make any noise.

I definitely had locked the door and double-locked it when I went out to shoot, but now that I came back the locks were unlocked.

'The time has come.'

Problems that come with fame.

Invasions of privacy.

It was already an issue I worried about. I just left it alone because I didn't have any financial measures to move.

'...First of all, there are no important things inside.'

I didn't buy much, and I already brought all my clothes with me for filming, so there was nothing valuable in the studio apartment.

'Then let's silently leave...'

The moment I thought about it, my smartphone rang.

Riiing.

[Seon A-Hyun]

The moment I checked the name on the screen, I realized a problem.

The walls in the studio apartment are like paper, so there is no soundproofing.

'I'm screwed.'

I hastily moved from the door and immediately ran to the emergency exit.

As soon as I turned around the corner at the emergency exit and hid in a blind spot, I heard the door open.

Squeak.

I saw the back of a woman's head stick out of the door to look around.

She was a normal-looking person. I've never seen her before, and the problem is that she's trespassing into someone else's house.

I broke out in cold sweat.

'This is crazy.'

I went down the stairs outside the emergency exit and answered the phone.

It was Seon A-Hyun who made the call as it appeared on the screen.

- M-Moondae-ya um... Have you eaten dinner yet?

"I haven't, but I don't think this is the time for me to eat."

- Uh, huh?

"There's someone breaking into my house."

- Wha- what!

Behind the phone, I could hear Seon Ahyun swallowing his breath and his parents' voices asking what was going on. Normally, I would have just hung up the call, but now I wasn't in a situation to gloss it over.

'I'll have to ask them to give me a ride to the police station.'

If a police car was dispatched after reporting to 112, the neighbourhood would get noisy, and strange rumours may arise.

It's the last minute, so there's no need to give any excuses.

So I was going to go there in person, explain the situation, and quietly hand the situation over to the police.

'I thought it would take forever to call for a taxi, but this turned out better.'

- Wa-wait. W-we'll be right there. Come down right away! We should report....

"I'm going to go do it myself. I'm sorry, but can you give me a ride to the police station?"

- O-of course!

I talked to Sun Ah-hyun on the phone and went down the stairs right away.

I was going through all sorts of things.

* * *

Fortunately, things went smoothly after that.

Seon A-Hyun and his parents, who were more surprised than me, rushed to the police station, so I was able to report it right away.

- What? Oh, a woman is...

- It's someone I don't know.

- Ah, yes.

The police officer seemed a little annoyed, but they were dispatched anyway.

And this is the conclusion.

'I didn't know it was more than just one person.'

There were a total of 4 people in the studio. They rummaged through the house together, messing up tablewares and clothes.

It seemed that several people who had a history of stalking other idols gathered together and followed me, and then broke into the studio apartment with poor security.

'I never imagined it like this.'

I rubbed my trembling shoulders.

What's even worse is that the police have been consistent in their attitude of not wanting to arrest these people.

'Was I unlucky to pick this neighborhood?'

The four people who were discovered were laughing as they kept trying to talk to me without showing any signs of agitation.

- Hey!

- Moon-Dae-ya, can't you hear us?

- You can hear us. Why don't you answer~

- Park Moon-Dae!

'They will either just get a warning or a fine.'

I think I'll be in big trouble if I don't move out.

"M-Moon-Dae. Are you okay?"

"Huh? Oh, I'm okay."

Seon A-Hyun restlessly picked up his chopsticks and put them down. I was embarrassed for being in a position to receive a meal.

This is what he said after the situation was finished.

- I-I was going to go eat out nearby, b-but I thought it would be nice if you and I could eat together...

- Oh, that's why you called.

- Y-Yes!

Due to this, I am now sitting with Seon A-Hyun and his parents in a restaurant.

'The ribs in this place are good.'

I silently brought the meat to my mouth. Since I couldn't sleep well, I should at least eat well.

"Oh my god, there are so many weird people these days. How could something like this...."

"Wouldn't it be better to contact your parents first?"

Seon A-Hyun's parents repeated this conversation pattern several times as they must have been very surprised.

Hmm. After pondering for a moment, I just decided to tell the truth.

I've been receiving a lot of help and even getting food today, so the least I could do is answer sincerely.

"There was an accident in the past... so my parents are not here anymore."

As Seon A-Hyun's father swallowed his breath, his mother quietly asked me.

"Do you have any other adults to contact?"

"No one in particular... comes to mind."

Since entering Park Moon-dae's body there would be people related to him that I wouldn't know but there was no sign that Park Moon-dae had a guardian either.

'We're really similar in this way.'

It was kind of interesting now that I see it. I wondered if among the reasons why I entered Park Moon-Dae's body, the similarity in our backgrounds was one of them.

However, the atmosphere on the table was sinking like a swamp, so I'll fix this first.

"It wasn't like this when I was very young. There were some things...but there are no particular problems with living alone now."

"Really?"

"Yes."

Seon A-Hyun's mother smiled instead of making a fuss.

"Yeah. You must be busy with a lot of things when doing them alone, but thank you for taking good care of our A-Hyun."

"No, I also received a lot of help."

At this point, I thought Seon A-Hyun would jump up to deny it, but he didn't say anything. When I turned around, Seon A-Hyun was silently turning the meat over to cook it.

'Come to think of it, did he not know that I don't have parents?'

Thinking about it, I only talked to the production team, and since then I haven't mentioned it on TV.

Then he must have been quite surprised, but Seon A-Hyun seemed to try not to express it as much as possible.

'I guess that's the kind of reaction he believes you would want.'

Now that I look at it, I think that was the reason why Seon A-hyeon followed 'Park Moon-dae' around in the early stages of filming.

'Is it because I overlooked Seon A-Hyun's stuttering symptoms and reacted accordingly in the first ranking evaluation?'

I might have guessed right.

'Well, the reasoning isn't important.'

I shrugged my shoulders and picked up some more meat. For now, there is no other choices, so I'll spend today in that studio apartment, and I'll try to go somewhere else tomorrow. However, after the meal I unexpectedly received help.

"A-are you going back there again?"

"They were caught, so at least they won't come today."

"B-but, still...."

Seon A-Hyun and his family were shocked when they heard that I was going to go back to that apartment, and so I was able to stay in Seon A-Hyun's house until the next filming.

"... ?"

I don't know what this was, but it's a good thing, so let's shut up and go along.

* * *

Around the time when Park Moon-Dae was enjoying the unexpected pleasure of upgrading his residence, people on the internet were frantically releasing spoilers.

The program was so popular that, by this point, the ban on disclosure no longer worked.

It was Cha Yu-Jin who received a lot of mentions as an individual, but as a team, the mentions of team was overwhelming.

- Why did you put them in the opening? I feel sorry for the next team.

- There's a reason why they ranked high! They were all so good.

- I bet the internet will flip when they go on stage lol

- Why swear at Seon A-Hyun? He was freaking good.

There were a lot of people who tried to suppress the atmosphere somehow, saying that the team member's fans were ignoring public opinion, but as the attendance certification came up one after another, they secretly left behind a swear word and disappeared.

And here, there was Park Moon-dae's named fan account manager, who had been engrossed all day because neither she nor her acquaintances could win the audience ticket.

"Was my network lacking?"'

As a survival participant who had not yet formed a fandom, she refrained from socializing as much as possible as a named account, but what came back was a defeat in the information war. She clicked on her current favorite post with her trembling hands.

==========================

[Went as the audience] (Picture included) (361)]

: It was the first time something like this had happened to me so I was really excited to go there. Just seeing Moon-dae's face was worth it ㅠㅠ

Moon-Dae's team came out first, and they wore rabbit masks and a hanbok. It was like a fusion of fantasy historical drama characters. It was so cool that I couldn't stand it... so I took a little picture.

And the fact that the best performance on stage was so good that my heart is still pounding.

I don't know what the hell people are looking at when they say that he can't sing or dance well, when he is this good live.

I will write more details below!

... ...

==========================

She read the text one by one, and unable to resist the fact that a picture was taken, she scrolled down.

Below was a picture of Park Moon-Dae's upper body wearing a rabbit mask obliquely and wearing a durumagi.

"Ah!"

The blonde Park Moon-Dae in a navy blue robe with a starlit black background looked so handsome that it touched her heart.

'Should I... buy the data?'

She muttered, unable to overcome her grief of not being able to see him. However, data sellers usually sell them only after the show is aired because they are afraid of legal problems.

Her head started spinning the more she imagined that she could only see the trailer of episode 9 at the earliest and the 10th episode at the latest.

"...Advertisements, let's look at ads......."

She tried to pull herself together by putting together a new advertisement draft to be posted before the next broadcast.

'No, but if I use a picture from that time in this advertisement! That would be great!'

And then she waited again and logged on to SNS.

Her routine of searching for audience reviews continued until the trailer for episode 9.

* * *

Living with Seon A-Hyun in his house provided a different quality of life compared to living in a one-room apartment.

Of course, there were some problems with the landlord of the studio apartment and the compensation of the damaged door lock.

However, there was nothing to be offended about because it happened even before I entered Park Moon-Dae's body.

The important thing is that I'm sleeping in a mold-free room. The soundproofing was also good, so I was able to sleep without earplugs.

However, the pleasure of a noise-free environment was not an advantage I could enjoy today.

"I can't believe you guys were having fun by yourselves!"

It was because Big Se-Jin came to hangout.

Big Se-Jin who was talking in the group chatroom said that we should watch episode 9 together today, had rushed over after hearing that I was being taken care of at Seon A-Hyun's house, and rushingly appeared in the morning.

"Co-come in!"

Seon A-Hyun looked happy. Because the owner of the house was feeling happy that means I can't say anything about this.

Big Se-Jin smiled and entered the living room, and took out the board game he had brought along.

... It felt like he was really going to play in earnestly.

Riiing.

"Park Moon-Dae, isn't that an incoming call?"

"Oh, You're right."

I checked the smartphone ringing on the table.

[Kim Rae-Bin: Hello hyung. Episode 9 is airing today. If you have time, can we watch it together?]

Well, we're on the same team anyway, so I thought it wouldn't matter if he joined here.

It's okay because I can't watch quietly anyway when Big Se-jin is there.

"Rae-Bin wants to see episode 9 together. Should I call him over?"

"Oh? Agree~"

"O-of course!"

It was a unanimous agreement.

Without much thought, I sent a text message to Kim Raebin explaining the situation.

Then, after a while, he replied.

[Kim Raebin: I'm... Cha Yu-Jin is here with me too, so is it okay him to join?]

Hey, that would be a bit...
