《Debut or Die [fan translation]》Chapter 78

Advertisement

Park Moondae was looking at her with a gentle smile in the next seat.

"Hello."

"...!!"

A conversation! The first conversation with Moon Puppy at a close distance!

'Oh my god.'

Due to the sudden nervousness, her mouth, which had been talking well until now, opened half a beat late.

Years of experience at fansign events were all to no avail...

"Oh. Hi, Moondae-ya."

"Um, noona?"

'This is crazy!'

A complex feeling of wanting to beat herself up for suddenly speaking informally to him first while also wanting to compliment herself for that since she was able to hear him call her 'noona' dominated her.

"That's right!"

"Nice to meet you... Would you like this?"

"...!?"

Park Moondae quickly took something from under the desk and held it out.

...It was a lollipop.

It was not just a mass-produced one sold at any convenience stores. The lollipop was cute and big with pretty animal decorations and looked like it was from a specialty store.

"You're giving it to me..?"

"Yes. It's delicious."

"..."

Regardless of what it was, this suited his personality, and somehow her tears welled up.

'Why, why are you giving me...'

Moondae hasn't received payment yet so he doesn't even have money, but why did you still prepare something like this?

'I think it would have cost a fortune to buy 100 of those, too...'

She almost got emotional while holding the candy, but fortunately Park Moondae spoke again without giving her a break.

"Is that for me?"

"Huh? Uh...yes!"

She realized she had reflexively taken out the flower crown because it was Moondae's turn.

She was going to say that during his self-introduction video she had wanted to see him wearing a flower item instead of eating chicken feet, but there was no need for her to say that. Park Moondae had immediately grabbed the flower crown and put it on his head cheerfully.

"...!"

"Noona, you probably want to take a picture? I will keep wearing it so don't worry."

Park Moondae signed his autograph to the bewildered homepage master.

"Your name?"

"Uh... my name."

The homepage master was bewildered by the unexpected situation and realized only after he signed the autograph that she had said her real name and not her own account nickname.

'I was going to get it from Moondae under my account nickname...!'

However, this thought disappeared at Moondae's next words.

"Thank you for coming. I wish I had a more fun personality, but I'm not good at talking... Is there something you would like to ask me?"

"No, uhm..."

No, Moon Puppy! Your personality is fun enough!

...Is what she wanted to answer, but she saw the staff approaching while shouting 'Let's move!' and reflexively quickly asked. This was because she had witnessed the staff working hard in front of them.

"Wha- what's your MBTI personality type?"

"I've never done that before so I don't know, but I'll try the test and let you know."

At the end of that fruitless conversation, she was forced to leave the table at the beckoning of the staff.

No, she should have left...

"Wait a minute."

She was still sitting at his desk. This was because Park Moondae was purposely holding her album down with one hand!

'Uh...'

Park Moondae asked again as if nothing had happened.

"Since I couldn't answer the previous question, it doesn't count. Do you have any other questions?"

In an instant, the homepage master's brain worked.

It was part of a conversation note that she had originally prepared.

'Moondae, we met when you wore the Welsh Corgi costume and went around to do the advertisement confirmation shots. Do you remember it?!'

However... her mouth faithfully moved instinctively and accordingly to the public interest.

"That, wha-what's your favorite food other than chicken feet? I know you can eat everything well!"

Park Moondae smiled.

"I like all kinds of chicken dishes."

"Ah, really?"

"Yes. I'll buy it next time. What do you like, noona? Chicken feet?"

Did he just say he was going to buy something? And he was making jokes by mentioning the chicken feet, wasn't he? Oh gosh.

But because there was no time, the homepage master hurriedly gave an answer.

"I also like chicken!"

"We must have similar tastes. That's nice."

The homepage master, who was about to say 'and Moondae is nicer', was blown away by Park Moondae's friendly answer.

All the silly praises that she had prepared were blocked by the idol's preemptive attacks.

"Let's move on!"

"Um."

In response to the staff's retries, this time Park Moondae gently sent the album to his fan.

She barely regained her composure, stretched out one of her hands, and exclaimed with all her heart.

"Handshake, please!"

"Ah."

Park Moondae immediately raised his hand and instead of giving her a handshake, he interlaced his fingers with hers, and smiled while waving the hand.

"...!"

"Get back safely."

"...Uh."

Oh my god.

Oh my god...!

She slowly returned to her seat.

And she sat down while thinking.

'This is seriously crazy...'

Why is he so calm and nice?

Even his vocalization was good. The conversation proceeded well without shouting.

'I knew he would be sincere since it's the first fansign event, but I didn't think it would be this nice!'

She wanted to give up and start screaming, but with superhuman patience, she picked up the camera instead.

'The flower crown. I will take the best pictures no matter what.'

Her fighting power set off. She silently adjusted the camera.

She could see Park Moondae wearing the flower crown through the camera's viewfinder.

However, before she knew it, he was also wearing rabbit ears which is a trusty item for a fansign event. Prickly white ears rose above the yellow flowers.

"Oh!"

It suits him!

Afterwards Park Moondae received a cotton wool doll that looked exactly like him. The homepage master reflexively estimated the doll's size with her hawk's eyes.

'Is it about 20cm?'

Moondae hesitated a little and seemed to contemplate how to position it, and soon enough the doll had climbed on his shoulder.

So cute!

All three items matched him perfectly. Fans with cameras from all directions shouted at Moondae and urged him to look at the camera.

"Moondae-ya!"

"Moon Puppy!"

"Park Moondae, over here!"

Park Moondae took advantage of the gap inbetween before the next fan came up. Like a ghost, he found the cameras' positions and made eye contact with them. Of course, this was something he knew how to do from his previous job.

'Oh my god.'

But that moment passed quickly.

Surprised by Park Moondae's accuracy in locating her camera, the homepage master only realized this when she saw several fans getting their autographs.

'He's making the most of his time...'

He persevered, so that he could use the empty time for those fans who have already received his autograph before it was the next person's turn.

It was a clear decision considering that he was the last person.

'Our Moon Puppy... is born under the stars of idols... There's no refuting this...'

The homepage master was moved by the professional attitude of the special idol.

Beyond the viewfinder, Park Moondae was now shooting with a toy money gun. Seeing Park Moondae among the flying fake money, she really wanted to put cash in every of his pockets.

'Please never retire and walk the path of money.'

She thought warmly as she saw Keun Sejin and Park Moondae throwing fake money at each other's desks.

An issue arose after that.

This time it was because of a fan who moved to get an autograph from Park Moondae and gave him a yellow Welsh Corgi hat.

'He's going to change it soon.'

It was a bit disappointing but it's time to be satisfied since she already took some flower crown pictures. She clicked her tongue and waited for Moondae to wear the Welsh Corgi hat.

As expected, Moondae removed the flower crown and the rabbit ears and wore the hat.

But it didn't end there.

After enough time had passed for the fans to take a picture of him wearing the hat, Park Moondae put on the flower crown and the rabbit ears on top of it.

"...!!"

At that moment, Moondae's words echoed in the homepage master's head.

...And Park Moondae really did not remove a single item until the end of the fansign event.

* * *

"..."

"...Haa."

After the fansign event, the moving car was quiet. This is because the guys, who were tired from talking to 100 hundred people in a row, were all stretched out.

Thanks to that, it seemed like I could check the Internet quietly. I sighed softly.

'...I did everything I could.'

Still, I can't say with conscience that it was worth 100,000 won per minute.

I briefly recalled a few people.

Well, most of the requests were expected through preliminary research. Thanks to that, I think I cleared it safely without panicking.

'I was a little embarrassed, but... It was worth it.'

Occasionally, there were people who tried to pick a fight because they didn't like me, but it was just fine.

Well, it's not like they were going to punch me in the face.

On the contrary, I was more embarrassed because the people who paid for this kept trying to impress me.

'The money giver doesn't have to do that...'

I reflected on the student who came wearing a Welsh Corgi mask and made an acrostic poem with 'Park Moondae', and I soon realized what they were going to do. Monitoring my response.

"Hmm."

Let's turn on the smartphone.

First of all... TeStar's first fansign event became a real-time trend on social media.

'This was somewhat expected.'

Although the event was private, there were so many people who were interested that real-time postings were uploaded almost live.

Most of them were happy about the first fansign event with a good atmosphere, and even though the fans who couldn't make it were sad, they were excited about the real-time updates.

'The suggestion to ban post-it seems like a good choice.'

Since had a lot of viewers, this is a situation where the attention on the group is at a high level.

In any case, it was right not to give anyone room to manipulate and upload as they please.

'Thanks to that, there are no useless rumours on the surface.'

Instead, I looked up on the trending posts to see if what I did became a discussion topic.

Let's take a look at one of the most liked posts.

As the fansign event progressed, I noticed photos of Park Moondae being edited by attaching a series of pictures where I kept stacking all kinds of props on my head and body.

'...I think I wore about five of them at the end.'

I think it didn't even collapse.

It was a bit regretful since I was conscious of the 1.32 million won and made unnecessary use of it, but I'm glad I made them smile.

Hmm, let's take a look at some more popular reviews.

"..."

That... the cotton wool doll felt so good that I kneaded it like a stress ball, so I even brought it to the car with me.

It's in my bag now.

It was kind of a strange feeling.

'Isn't the recipient supposed to be the one who is thrilled about it...?'

Why is it that the person who gave the handmade gift is more excited about it?

Anyway, I was thankful for the gift, and moved on to the next post. It was the most shared post.

'...I gave it to them to eat since I thought they would be bored after receiving the autograph and just sitting still waiting.'

No one was eating it.

Anyway, it was good that they enjoyed it, but the reply that was posted just below was the problem.

'Hmm.'

I moved the tabs and looked around the Internet.

When I checked, I started seeing posts with similar bullshit from anonymous accounts for each popular post on the community site. Judging from the timing, it seemed to be an organized move.

I knew this would happen.

'How come all these bastards have the same pattern?'

However, when the hellish ended, it looked like they were scratching their heads while looking around to see if the crude words didn't work.

In fact, even after the audition is over, I can just ignore these guys.

However, it's a problem when they are targeting the people who are enjoying us.

'Let's solve this quickly.'

I clicked my tongue and turned on TeStar's social media.
