《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!!

Gosh, its awesome to see him (Gaston). He’s never down in the dumps! Every guy here'd love to be him (Gaston) even when taking his lumps. There's no man in town as admired as him, he's everyone's favorite guy! Everyone's awed and inspired by him and it's not very hard to see why: No one's slick as Gaston. No one's quick as Gaston. No one's neck's as incredibly thick as Gaston For there's no man in town half as manly! (perfect, a pure paragon) Ask any Tom, Dick or Stanley, and they'll tell you whose team they prefer to be on! Who plays darts like Gaston? Who breaks hearts like Gaston? Who’s much more than the sum of his parts like Gaston? As a specimen, yes, he’s intimidating; my, what a guy, that Gaston! He doesn’t need encouragement, you boneheaded fools. The only ones who need encouragement is you! (Was that too much? I say no.) No one fights like Gaston, douses lights like Gaston. In a wrestling match nobody bites like Gaston! When he hunts, he sneaks up with his quiver – beasts of the field say a prayer! First he carefully aims for the liver… then he shoots from behind! Is that fair? He doesn’t care. No one hits like Gaston, matches wits like Gaston. In a spitting match nobody spits like Gaston. (He’s especially good at expectorating!) Ten points for Gaston! When he was a lad he ate four dozen eggs every morning to help him get large. And now that he’s grown he eats five dozen eggs, so he’s roughly the size of a barge! Who has brains? Entertains? Who can make up these endless refrains like Gaston? (He uses antlers in all of his decorating!) Say it again: Who’s a man amongst men? Who’s a super success? Don’t you know? Can’t you guess?
