《Debut or Die [fan translation]》Chapter 94

"You're awake?"
"Did you sleep well?"
"Yeah. It was refreshing."
I rarely said it openly. After taking a deep nap and a bath, I felt really good.
"Come on, everyone, look here and smile~"
Keun Sejin caught the people who were gathering in the living room and took a picture.
"For social media?"
"Yeah."
I didn't intervene because I thought it was well-corrected. Instead, I took out my smartphone to monitor real-time responses.
'...It's slow.'
I picked the lowest price among the low-end type phone models and it was slowly stopping working since the daily usage time was too long. Well, I didn't have the money to change it right now, so let's not think about it anymore.
Anyway, the social media timeline was crowded with people waiting for the main broadcast.
"Ah, it's starting."
"Cha Yujin! The reality show is starting!"
"Yes!!"
The broadcast started around the time Cha Yujin ran from the kitchen holding snacks.
The first thing that came out was... the excited TeStar who were preparing for the departure.
A scene with the light aircraft for skydiving slowly appeared. The camera swung down and reflected on TeStar, who were standing blankly with their luggage on the ground.
A huge white caption appeared above the appalled TeStar.
Shortly after, the screen showed the dorms.
A huge note on the floor of the living room with balloons saying 'Special edition! A commemorative trip for TeStar's 1st place win' received a spotlight CG.
And there was a caption.
From there... What TeStar had experienced came out without any change.
The scene of us turning the roulette with excitement for the trip and the bewilderment when it got caught on 'extreme' was humorously edited as well.
Of course, the finishing touch came from the discovery of roulette's manipulation.
An interview was attached.
"..."
Why... were they looking forward to me being bad at something?
Anyway, TeStar on-screen were meticulously trained in skydiving and boarded the light aircraft.
In this process, the members' reactions received quite a lot of attention.
I just rode and jumped, so there was not much to prepare. However, when landing, I received a caption and a composite.
And there was a jumping Welsh Corgi inserted as a translucent CG.

"Euhahaha!!"
"Puppy! A puppy!"
"...Stop it."
Stop hitting the sofa, too.
'These reality show producers, if there's nothing to edit they just seem to feed the scene with puppies.'
Where the hell did you find such video material?
Anyway, the fans also laughed and said it was funny. Still, seeing the reactions of Tibetan foxes popping up from time to time, I really wanted that one interview with Keun Sejin to last a long time.
On the screen, the interview was mainly inserted with warm words in order to alleviate the shock of 'skydiving'.
And then...
It was the extreme horror experience.
The fans were happy while feeling sorry for TeStar's remarks that didn't even work.
And as they wished... The image of TeStar exploring the haunted house was broadcast.
But somehow... our group had the most screen time.
'...It must be because there are three people.'
If I didn't think like that, I wouldn't be able to watch it because of the embarrassment.
Passed out?
'I'm moving there just fine. How can they put captions like that?'
Looking at the screen, Keun Sejin and Cha Yujin were clapping and laughing.
"That's right! I really thought you passed out!"
"Your soul left your body!"
...Even Cha Yujin knows advanced words such as 'soul'.
"...It wasn't to that extent."
"Oh? Really?"
Keun Sejin was chuckling.
"Then tell me one thing they said when they chased us."
"..."
Did they... say something?
"You don't remember, do you? You don't know, do you? It's because you passed out!"
Keun Sejin giggled, saying, 'Thank yourself for making the group.'
"Hey, look over there. It's coming out now!"
"..."
When I turned my head, I saw an employee running down the hallway on the screen.
...It was really screaming.
"You saw that?"
Keun Sejin asked triumphantly.
But soon after, Cha Yujin and Keun Sejin started screaming louder on both of my sides on the screen.
"..."
It was because of those guys.
In the midst of this, the broadcast had gathered Keun Sejin's quiet activities, edited them with an emphasis and sent it out.
"..."
When I turned my head, Keun Sejin had a wide smile.

"Wow, Keun Sejin shortened the escape time? As I thought, let's go easy on Moondae!"
It's a tough job, but it would be nice if I could hit that guy in the snout just once.

'Invitation to the Haunted House' ended with the back story being aired.
The storyline, which combines human sacrifice with a classic 20th-century western haunted house, was quite eerie.
"Oh, that's why there was an altar there."
"...It's a little sad."
"..."
Everyone had different emotions about this, so let's move on.
Anyway, the first part of the trip ended with a scene of us devouring whole pork.
Taking care of the staff's share in this scene was almost like a rule of thumb, so that scene came out warmly as well.
Well, the last one was an opinion worth considering.
'The reality show is ending next week.'
Episode 7 was actually the end, and episode 8 seemed to come out with a subtitle like a director's cut as a special compilation of highlights.
In fact, considering that most of the idol reality shows will be completed within the fourth episode, this was also cut long to the point of getting a brain fracture.
In addition to the momentum when had just finished the final episode, it happened because of Tnet's empty program spot as there was a huge drama on another cable at the same time.
'It's almost longer than the duration of our promotions.'
Now, the music show was also the last for this week. The debut album promotions could be practically seen as ending.
'Should I do the W app to celebrate the end of our promotions?'
I went back to my bedroom and logged on to the W app's TeStar account to check.
And I was a little surprised. The last live was just a few hours ago.
However, the length of the video was 1 minute and 2 seconds.
'...1 minute?'
I didn't know what the hell was going on in the video.
I couldn't hear anything, so it probably wasn't an accident, but I had no idea what was happening.
'Who was it?'
First of all, the most likely candidate was Keun Sejin. But that guy couldn't have done it for a minute.
I clicked on the black thumbnail.
A dark screen was output with some white noise.
And after a while.
Suddenly someone's forearm filled the screen.
[Ah...Li-like this...]
[Oh?]
[...Huh!]
That was the end of the video.
'It was Seon Ahyun.'
It seems that he touched something wrong and turned on the actual live while practising.
When I saw the comments, everyone was crying because it was cute. There were quite a few people who happily guessed that it would be reorganized and played at night.
It was just a little strange.
'Well, knowing his personality, he probably posted a long apology on social media.'
When I accessed TeStar's social media account a few times today, I didn't see any traces of that.
'I was going to try doing W Live anyway, so I'll have to say something.'
It was easier to do it with a group of three than to do it alone. If a motivated guy is involved I'll be less burdened.
I went to the next room and knocked on the door.
"Can I come in?"
"...Uh, oh!"
The door opened quickly. Kim Raebin was still in the living room, and Seon Ahyun was alone in the room.
"Wh-what is it?"
But why did he look so conscious?
He was originally that type of person, but the time to talk to him has already passed.
'Come to think of it, I don't think I've heard Seon Ahyun saying anything today.'
He was talking quite a bit recently.
It was like his attitude and tone of voice had gone back to the early stages of .
"Is there something going on with you?"
"N-no."
Seon Ahyun firmly denied it. My goodness.
"You're breaking out in a cold sweat, though."
"...!!"
"If you don't want to tell me then you can talk to Chungwoo hyung or manager hyung."
"W-wait a minute."
Seon Ahyun struggled to open his mouth still in a cold sweat.
"I, I... ma-made a mistake."
"The W Live?"
"Y-you saw..."
"Yeah. You turned it on by mistake. But well... there was no problem."
Everyone said they enjoyed it in the comments, but Seon Ahhyun shook his head heavily.
"Th-that... I-I didn't a-accidentally turn it on."
"...?"
Seon Ahyun swallowed.
"I-I was going to turn it on, but I turned it off."
"..."
"I got re-really sca-scared..."

Blue Hills
Nothing had ever felt quite right for Alexander Adamson. He'd worked his way up to a job he could tolerate, a few casual friends, and even a nice little apartment that he could call his own, though it really wasn't. The problem was that none of it was satisfying. It was as though he were going through the motions of a life, rather than having one of his own. Of course, it didn't exactly feel right when he woke up in a strange bed in the middle of nowhere. Nor when he was told that he was now the proud owner and operator of a local farm. A farm that had belonged to a late uncle he'd never known. But with the first train out of town a full 'season' away, he had plenty of time to get used to the idea. Plenty of time, perhaps, to even get to like the strange little town of Blue Hills. I have a discord now. Marvel at my ability to somehow still be antisocial on the other side of a screen! Back from hiatus along with my other fiction. Chapters are on a Thurs/Sun schedule until book 3 of that fiction is completed, at which point I'll be updating this daily. At which point uh.... I dunno what I'm going to do.

Spiko's Journey
This is a Story of Spiko. An once normal cat, now a cat-girl. Which found herself in a new world. Searching for her home and anything that can hold her attention long enough. Join Spiko on her travels, in a world that is as unforgiving as it is breath taking. Be warned. This is a somewhat slow burn story. I expect that I will need a few chapters to get the rough outlines out there. General Info: -I really do this mostly, cause i need to freshen up my grammar and stuff. So, I will go over these chapters a lot, if I find errors (or you find them). I will mark revised chapters and what I changed in them ( if it is of importance to the story). I'm sorry for anything i might unleash onto the world. -There will be a little of everything in this. But I will never do harem stuff. Or horror just for the sake of it being horrific. No needless bad popes, bandits that rape villagers. Just for a hero to save the day. No stupid tropes. No OP Powers that can call forth doom to anyone. Spiko has Plot Armor as thick as any MC that you can't really kill off for good. But no Demon Lord will trip over a pebble, onto a peel of any fruit of choice and then die in a comedic way. When she needs saving. She's a tough cookie, which will find ways to get out of trouble (or into it). -Yes, the picture shows Spiko in her true glory. Before a lot of other stuff happened to her. And yes, Spiko is a weird Name for a cat. I'm weird. -Thoughts of Spiko are in Cursive = Why is that flower blue? -Descriptions and passive observational stuff that is coming from 3rd person view is in normal = There stood a blue flower, as Spiko shifted her wary gaze. -Distinct sounds are in bold = Swish (goes the cat paw on that blue flower!) -Talking is as always in "Hey, stop that!" -System stuff will be in tables = [Stat gain Stuff and so on] -There will be light GameLit stuff. I won't overdo it and if i do anything GameLit, it will have a reason and explanation. Do excuse the table formatting. I'm not great with word processor programs. -I'm crazy. Updates: Saturdays + whenever I feel like it (atm about 2~4 chapters a weekend + maybe weekdays. I guess?).
