《Debut or Die Novel MTL》Chapter 93
Advertisement
[
Cheong-ryeo started talking faintly from the beginning.
I deliberately got down on my knees. This is because, in the show, you have to appear as a rookie idol seeking advice from a senior like the sky.
Cheong-ryeo smiled soullessly and told me to sit comfortably a few times, and when he confirmed that it was not easy to open the conversation, he began to answer.
And well, there was a standard answer that everyone worked hard even when they debuted. It was obvious, but it was also a virtue that people expected from idols.
Well, I can't let you get away with it like this.
I drank the coffee I had left in one shot. The taste is strong because it's the part that sank.
Appropriate flattery is a rookie remark.
I didn't cross the line to the point where it seemed like he was beating up other members.
However, it would have been conveyed to Cheong-ryeo roughly what it meant.
'You did everything you could to select only the ones that fit your taste and formed a team. I know.'
...Indeed, Cheong-ryeo was staring this way.
Well, now you should have figured out the situation.
That's enough to know who's disappointed. I ended the conversation at that point.
Since then, the usual mountain cabin distress has continued.
Continuous landslides and broken back rooms.
And even the creepy news from the radio found in the warehouse.
Hmm, I think I took it well because I was immersed in it. I'll have to watch it later.
Without a hitch, the filming was wrapped up the next morning.
As soon as the shooting was over, it started to rain. It was monsoon rain.
I nodded and greeted the people around me, and at the recommendation of the production team, I took out my smartphone.
And I made a video call.
Doo-doo-doo. Ddu-!
Before long, a familiar face appeared on the screen. ... It's Big Se-jin.
'Why are you coming out first when I called Ryu Chung-woo?'
I heard a thud, and soon the screen was full of TeSTAR members.
'It's worth telling anyone to come out together if they call.'
The production team also said in advance that it would be nice for TeSTAR to come out with a few cuts.

Originally, I was planning to include it in the main shoot, but due to the timing, it was impossible. So, I thought it would probably go into the ending with a small cut like a cookie video.
Even though it's raining, you seem to be listening to all my heartfelt requests. I tried to ignore it, but I responded as mildly as possible to Big Se-jin, thinking about the camera.
The other side was also conscious of the camera and smiled roughly. I made a few more trivial small talk, then ended the video call.
I received a text message from the manager saying that there will be a slight delay in (his) arrival due to sudden heavy rain.
Ah, by the way, the new manager finally came a few days ago. He was younger than my original age.
I bowed my head to Cheong-ryeo, who was talking to me. I could feel a few staff members staring at me sideways.
A writer who was passing by intervened to help.
He praised Park Moon-dae for his good drawing, but he seems to have made a pretty good impression.
Thanks for making things easy.
Cheong-ryeo brought the car, and I explained the situation to the manager and was gladly given permission. There was no afternoon schedule anyway.
'I'm going to go in and sleep right after this.'
In the midst of a pleasant imagination, Cheong-ryeo drove back.
'It's worth getting your own car after 7 years.'
[T/N: Up to this point MD and CR are using formal words when talking to each other.]
I got in the front seat right away. Tuk, as soon as I closed the door and fastened my seat belt, the car started.
Cheong-ryeo did not wait any longer.
[T/N: CR dropped the formalities here.]
Cheong-ryeo laughed and stopped.
...He sounds like a bit of a psychopath?
'Why are you laughing then you're suddenly talking informally?'
I'll have to keep checking to make sure I don't forget to keep an eye on the front just in case. I started paying attention to both conversation and sight.
In any case, it is as if he admitted it himself.
Cheong-ryeo did not answer as if he was speechless, but soon let out a sigh as if the wind was draining.

Then, as if he had lowered the level of his tension a little, he spoke in a slightly relaxed voice.
'......?'
I felt a little out of place.
Cheong-ryeo smiled and tapped the steering wheel lightly.
'I'd rather drive myself.'
The problem is that Park Moon-dae does not have a license. There is no other situation where you can sigh.
...Anyway, I just felt it clearly in the conversation.
'This guy, he can't see the status window.'
It was only after dying and going back that he realized the 'death status abnormality', so this guy didn't have a guide called a status window.
'That's why I couldn't fill in the three attributes.'
It was literally heading straight to the ground.
He has an advantage over me in that he was an idol in the first place and went back to his own body.
If you lie for nothing here, the words start to get twisted. If this guy notices and starts mixing lies, I'll be in trouble too.
Let's tell the truth.
Cheong-ryeo stared at the front without saying a word and murmured softly.
I could see Cheong-ryeo's eyes staring at me with only his eyes in the room mirror [1].
...To be honest, I was terribly frightened.
Cheong-ryeo suddenly spoke in a much lighter tone.
I don't have the slightest idea.
Isn't this pure madness? I think he went crazy trying to rationalize the situation because of the defense mechanism.
However, Cheong-ryeo gave a surprisingly common sense reason. It was a very surprising reason.
It means that there is an end to the status ailment.
'That's why his case was disabled.'
Assuming this statement is correct, let's calculate. So I'm back to 3 years ago......
'4 times. Two of them have already been completed.'
There was a glimmer of hope.
...Of course, how much you could trust this guy was another matter. But I'm satisfied that I got a guy to dig up, and next, let's ask what bothered me.
You're copying me on purpose. It means I have to blurt it out first.
I clicked my tongue.
'Still, I can't talk about the status window right now.'
This guy is usually fine, but he seems to have lost touch with this supernatural situation. Let's not touch anymore. [T/N: Not to say any shocking information anymore.]
Afterwards, we had a quiet meal at a proper Korean restaurant and (I) returned to our accommodation.
'...Finally.'
I was terribly tired after staying up all night having a battle of nerves.
When I opened the front door and went in, people without afternoon schedules popped out here and there waving their hands.
Woah, it's nice to meet these guys. [T/N: HE'S FINALLY HOME!! Y'ALL DON'T KNOW BUT I STARTED CRYING WHEN I WAS TRANSFERRING THE RAWS ON WORD.]
They say you get attached to each other when you see their faces often, but seeing them together every day seems to make me more comfortable.
I grabbed Big Se-jin, who was brushing his teeth and asked.
Of course not.
But somehow, I got into the mood and said it once. Of course, the results were as expected.
But surprisingly, Big Se-jin pointed to the refrigerator.
My expectations... are off the mark.
I shrugged.
This guy's crossing the line these days.
At that moment, the smartphone rang.
Ji-ing.
[VTIC Cheong-ryeo sunbae-nim: Call me if you feel like dying ^^]
Suddenly, I wonder what it would be like if it was just Big Se-jin's behavior.
'First of all, he's much better than this guy.'
[Okay, I got it. Thank you.]
After replying roughly, I went straight to bed as soon as I washed up and left my snacks behind.
After a brief conversation with Lee Se-jin, I closed the blackout curtains and started taking a nap.
This is because there is monitoring that needs to be done in the evening.
The reality travel episode will be aired today.
*********************************************************************
Room Mirror –
T/N: Status ailment and status abnormality(es) are just the same. It just switches on at random times. I'll just edit them again when I have time.
That's it for all the updates for this month! Hopefully, I'll be able to upload 4 chapters next month again. Merry Christmas!!

Moonblood
Five moons rise over Evanir, each in her own cycle, and each moon is also a god, one of five sisters. Many gods create spirit attendants and companions, brought forth fully-formed. Long ago, the moons worked together to create a lineage that are, instead, humans transformed by the mingling of blood. They intended them to be long-lived and to draw their strength directly from the light of the moon who chose each individual. The five sisters had different goals in mind – one wanted it to be a blessing for scholars and artists, to give them more time and fewer physical distractions; another wanted them to have an animal form, different for each, to keep them more in tune with nature so they could serve as guardians of the wilderness. There are drawbacks to their children having human lives and personalities before being chosen: not all share the goals of their divine mothers, and some choose to put their gifts to darker uses. Those carrying the blood of one woman, fleeing the corruption in search of a quiet life, take a different path. -=-=-=-=- Moonblood isn't so much a novel as a series of adventures of varying length. They involve a core group of people, which does grow over time. They take place in a fairly low-magic world, but despite that, our core cast are directly connected to the moons and have various abilities, including limited shapeshifting to a single individual animal form. As with all my work, unless gender, orientation, or other aspects of sexuality are explicitly stated, I suggest not making assumptions. Probably most significant, I think, is a major trans character who appears about 80K words in - no spoilers, just a note for those who care about that one way or the other.

"I don't know who you think you are coming here, and acting like you don't care about anything. Now listen here Princess, because I'm not going to repeat myself. Here's a couple of rules that I'd like to enlighten upon you. Number one, you do not talk back to me. And two, you don't mess with me or the rules," his breath fans my face and I close my eyes. The proximity between us was terrifying. "I've dealt with many bitches like you, so I suggest that you follow those rules unless you want to end up like them," - he leans in. His mouth lingers near my ear, "used."... "... You might think that you run this place, but you do not run me. Understand? And the sooner you understand that, the better it'll be for the both of us," I warn staring right into his eyes before walking away. I was more than amused by his dumbfounded expression. I stop, and turn back around, facing him, "And one piece of advice, know what you're fishing for before you start fishing. What if you find a shark and it reels you in, instead?"⇒Highest rank: 1 in Chicklit on 01.08.16

Hi I don't know if this is satire/ironic or not, all I know is that I've been on a Total Drama kick and I spent the last half hour sending crappy Cody fanart to my friend.
