《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..."

Sara's (not really) Fabulous System Armageddon, Book I: The World Ended at Rush Hour
Planet Earth, Monday, October 7th, 2019. 18:30 * * On a fateful day, during rush hour in eastern North America, Heavens and Hell crumbled and fell from their higher dimension on Earth. It came from "above" but not the same above we regard in our tridimensional Euclidean reasoning. No, it came from "above" as in from a higher dimension. Bits and pieces of those places fell on Earth from all directions, this time in tridimensional Euclidean space. Satellites, the ISS, and space debris all were wiped clean from orbit. Even those that didn't crash with the falling debris were knocked off orbit by the shockwaves. On the ground, power distribution lines were disrupted and most power facilities were left abandoned by their dead staff. Most of these had emergency shutdown routines that engaged in a few days. Some others had a survivor among their staff that followed protocol and activated their SCRAM switches, stopping the power plant. Long-distance communication disappeared the internet along with it. The world was plunged into technological darkness. Nine hundred and ninety-nine out of every thousand human beings perished immediately in the pulse of magical energy from the torn spatial boundary. Spirits were rent asunder and vanished, their fate neither salvation nor damnation, only oblivion. The criteria used for this culling was latent magic potential. It didn't discriminate against education, gender, age, or ethnic group. But of the around seven million survivors, most would meet their doom moments later. Those on moving vehicles, like the ones driving on highways suddenly had to contend with high-speed uncontrolled cars and trucks driven by corpses. Trapped in their vehicles and helpless, they became part of the long snake of crushed metal. Very few survived. Those in the air or out in the sea were alone and probably unable to control their rides. Airplanes crashed, and ships kept their course or drifted away, depending on their autopilot. Several ended their own lives in utter despair after seeing their loved ones die in front of them. Another large group would die at the hands of other survivors. Violence and aggression became the norm. Only a few sparse pockets of not-so-sane survivors managed to band together and cooperate for the sake of mutual survival. The sole survivor in a five-over-one apartment building in Georgia, a girl became the keystone to humanity's survival. Sara's fabulous System Apocalypse had just started. She has only one remark. It was anything but fabulous. * * Updates every Wednesday and Sunday.
