《Debut or Die [fan translation]》Chapter 164
Advertisement
We returned to the dorm at 11 pm after finishing all the schedules for the day, including the W Live.
After vacating a room for the two of them who fought, the rest gathered in the living room again.
Speaking of it, the vacated room was the three-person room.
Because it was more spacious.
Seon Ahyun, who left a knit work he was working on as he had to leave in a hurry, muttered.
"I-I hope it will be solved well..."
"I know right."
In fact, I thought that Ryu Chungwoo should have also been put in there with them but then discarded the idea since I was afraid that it would end in a superficial way as they were conscious of a third party.
'I'd rather they have a big fight than have that happen.'
Now that they have had time to think and were ready to have a conversation, they would be able to hear each other out even if there was a fight.
'Then after time has passed, the line won't be crossed.'
This was because heated emotions disappear, and memories remain. And both of them were thoughtful types, so it wouldn't take long.
"I'll turn on Netplus!"
"Sure. Watch what you want."
Cha Yujin calmly played an American sitcom with Ryu Chungwoo's permission.
I looked down at my phone as the living room was buzzing with English dialogue.
On the phone screen, there was a call history from the company.
To put it bluntly, it was a trace of my protest.
It was about how the two who fought still ended up on a team together on today's W App even though we made a request and asked for it to be prevented.
'This hasn't just happened once or twice. I'd be a pushover if I didn't get angry.'
Since the company was a place with no work-life balance, such mistakes were possible.
But shouldn't they pay proper attention to things that could be fatal like this?
'This is how they handle bomb-like rumors of discord?'
When I heard their excuse, they said that the instruction 'Don't pick the ones that are marked' was misinterpreted as 'Do pick it up' and that was why things ended up like that. Well, I get that.
The problem was their nuance.
In short, they were saying, 'It wasn't a big deal in the first place so aren't you guys overdoing it?'
'These bastards sure are relaxed.'
Since there had been a lot of things going on that came from the outside and they have only focused on that, it seems like they came to trust in the calmness inside of TeStar.
I really didn't like that since the response would most likely be slow if someone in the group actually took unexpected action.
'This needs to be fixed.'
I roughly looked at the picture of the situation, shrugged my shoulders, and put down my phone.
'For now... let's solve the thing with those guys first.'
In front of the sofa, Cha Yujin was talking about his favorite character in the sitcom.
Kim Raebin seriously stopped him.
"It might be a spoiler for those who haven't seen this series yet, so be cautious..."
"It's not spoilers!"
"It is spoilers!"
I couldn't even hear the series on the TV because of these guys' voices. I wouldn't even hear it if the two guys in the room were screaming and fighting.
As soon as I had that thought, the door suddenly opened, and someone rushed out.
It was Bae Sejin whose face was so flushed that it was about to explode.

"Park Moondae!"
'I think this is the first time I hear him call my name.'
Don't tell me the two came to a mutual understanding with the conclusion of attacking me?
Of course, it wasn't like that.
"You, you... just, come in."
"Yes?"
"Come here."
I had no idea what he meant.
Anyway, I didn't want to provoke him for no reason, so I obediently got up.
Then suddenly, Bae Sejin rushed back into the room.
"Oh! The hyungs are fighti-..."
"Okay then, Yujin-ah. Watch TV."
Bae Sejin closed the door when I came in. In an instant, the loud sound of the TV series was greatly reduced.
Keun Sejin sitting in the quiet room had a composed face.
It didn't look like there would be any commotion of them grabbing by their collars.
'It seems to be going well so why did they call me?'
As I bitterly sat down on the floor, Keun Sejin opened his mouth as if he had been waiting.
"First of all... I talked with hyung and we sorted things out a bit."
"Okay."
"Listen."
Keun Sejin calmly talked about the current situation. His attitude was so perfectly refined that even Bae Sejin could cut in from time to time.
'It's very formal.'
First of all, it seemed that both of them were going to pay attention to their attitudes in the future.
"From now on, we're going to try not to hurt each other's feelings as much as possible."
Keun Sejin apologized for his dismissive behavior because he didn't have good feelings toward Bae Sejin, and Bae Sejin apologized for suddenly attacking him strongly because of his complex feelings.
"We decided to be a bit more careful with each other from now on."
It was good up to then.
"But there are things we don't get about each other at all."
It seemed that as they were talking, there were some things that they couldn't accept.
Bae Sejin nodded his head.
"...Listen and look at it objectively. As to how it is."
I almost asked them if they had to invite me to be on the jury when we had the leader Ryu Chungwoo, but I held back.
'If it weren't for the status abnormality, seriously.'
These guys should be grateful for my time limit in the status abnormality.
"What is it about?"
Bae Sejin swallowed and opened his mouth.
"Am I... still uncooperative even now?"
"...!"
Bae Sejin tightly gripped his fists with a pale expression.
"I'm... I know I'm not good at it and that I'm not skilled. But... I'm doing my best. Really."
"Everyone knows you're working hard, hyung."
"As I mentioned... I wasn't saying that you're not working hard, hyung. But other than working hard, you don't care about anything else..."
Bae Sejin's voice lowered.
"...I, don't care?"
Keun Sejin sighed.
"You'd rather get angry than try to listen. This is why I'm just..."
"Hold on."
I understood the situation. I cut in before Keun Sejin could let out more.
"You need to explain more. What are the things hyung doesn't care about?"
"You know it, too."
Keun Sejin continued to explain with a slightly calmer voice.
"You don't care about being seen with the group at all."
"What are..."
"I know you're not interested in making it seem like everyone in the group is close and gets along. But even if you're not that interested in the existence of this group, I hope you could do it when the cameras are on."

Keun Sejin spoke in a tired voice.
"We're an idol group after all. These things also matter."
Bae Sejin stiffened. And for a moment, he looked down at the floor with his mouth tightly shut.
His answer came out slowly.
"Okay."
"...!"
"...I wasn't aware of those things... I'm sorry. I'll be more mindful from now on."
This time, Keun Sejin was left speechless.
'I guess this went a little differently than he thought.'
Perhaps, this might have been natural.
Bae Sejin must have been unfamiliar with idol groups in the first place, and on top of that, he got to know more about it through an individual survival show contest.
Therefore, group chemistry or whatever, he wouldn't have had time to notice or care about those things.
'It was probably hard enough to practice for the stage.'
In fact, if Keun Sejin had thought about it without prejudice, he might not have misunderstood in the first place.
However, this overlapped with his trauma of being eliminated from the debut group due to an 'actor', so his thoughts were unconsciously fixed.
To him, Bae Sejin must have been someone who thought, 'I'm going to be an actor anyway so I'm just going to hang in there for now'.
Then, to Keun Sejin's shock, Bae Sejin's words did not end there.
"I also think that this is a good team. I want to do well, and I don't want to become a nuisance. Also, I'm... happy to be active with this team."
"..."
Bae Sejin hesitated to bring out the next words, but he continued to speak in a squeaky voice.
"And... I'm sorry for saying that you only pretended to be close when the cameras are rolling. You were just trying to do a good job."
"...!"
Keun Sejin had a complicated expression.
His answer came a beat slower, after thoroughly thinking about it.
"No. I thoughtlessly made assumptions. I'm sorry."
This time, Bae Sejin had a surprised expression, then he cleared his throat and answered.
"Ah, ahem. It, it's okay!"
Looking at it, he was a little upset and wasn't sure if he should get angry or not, but he held it in. This guy has also grown a lot.
Keun Sejin replied with a faint smile.
"And well, I also was just trying to make a profit! Same-named characters are liked, right~?"
It was the usual, friendly tone.
However, it felt much more honest than the usual soulless conversation he had with Bae Sejin.
Bae Sejin muttered, avoiding his face.
"Well... well, yeah."
If he made a denial here it would have led to a more relaxed conversation to reconcile further, but it seemed that Bae Sejin's energy reached its limit here.
Sure enough, Keun Sejin was already smiling bitterly, not understanding why his reconciliation gesture was squashed away.
'It's okay. It's a five-star development even if it's just up to this point.'
Anyway, wasn't it clearly proven in this case that neither of their actions had any great malice?
From now on, whenever they got upset at the other person, they would be able to pass it off as 'that's just how he is' without stressing themselves with excessive assumptions.
'It was barely brought back to the starting point.'
I internally let out a sigh of relief.
'I've really done enough.'
I was craving beer. I should go find one.
"Then, in conclusion, Bae Sejin hyung is cooperative... and I will go out."
Bae Sejin was startled.
"Huh? Wa- wait."
"Hey, let's go together~ Ah, hyung, did you have something else to say?"
"...No."
"I see."
Keun Sejin smiled and nodded his head.
Neither of them seemed to want to talk to each other more.
"Um, okay."
It was better to keep it this way since you don't know where and what would explode if they had a deeper conversation.
I stepped out of the room with the two of them.
Then, avoiding the sounds of relief and welcomes coming from the living room, I headed to the refrigerator.
'There should be about two cans left.'
There were no problems with my weight right now, so it should be fine to have one in the middle of the night.
Clack.
"..."
The was nothing.
"The beer is here..."
"It's here!"
"Gasp! I'm sorry. Not knowing it was the last can, Cha Yujin thoughtlessly..."
Cha Yujin lying in the living room was shaking the dented can in his hand.
"..."
This punk...
"M-moondae-ya. I got some liquor. You can drink..."
"Thanks."
"D-don't mention it!"
No matter how much I thought about it, the only person who helped me with my mental health was Seon Ahyun.
I ended the day with Seon Ahyun's liquor in the room I had returned to.
"Ch-cheers!"
The final incident of the day was that my roommate Bae Sejin also willingly participated in tasting the liquor and fell asleep as if he was dead as he was probably feeling intoxicated by the relief from extreme stress.
Then on the next day.
"There's... there's an offer for Small Sejin."
In the car on our way to the salon, the manager stealthily brought back the cause of the conflict.
"It's a drama, and the writer knows Small Sejin... Guys?"
"..."
You should call Bae Sejin separately and talk to him then, you bastard.
The manager was puzzled by the stiff atmosphere in the car, but Bae Sejin in the back seat shook his head without agitation with his eyes hollow from the hangover.
"No. I won't do it."
"Is, is that so? But it's not that big..."
Before the manager became more puzzled, Ryu Chungwoo asked Bae Sejin.
"...Sejin-ah, wouldn't it be better to take a look at it since it might overlap with our inactive period?"
"...!"
Bae Sejin's shoulders shrank away, perhaps slightly embarrassed by his agitated self.
"No...I."
"Chungwoo is saying something good! Everyone is fine with it, right?"
The first manager, who was not present in the car on the day the two had a big fight, made the 'cheeky guy' designated in the front seat, respond to him.
It was Keun Sejin.
"...Umm."
Keun Sejin, who looked at the manager without any expression, opened his mouth.
"Wouldn't it be fine if it doesn't interfere with our activities? I'm sure hyung will decide on his own."
"...!"
It was a simple, euphemistic declaration of neutrality.
This time, Bae Sejin also looked toward Keun Sejin's seat with a slightly surprised face, feeling as if his words didn't have the same 'behave accordingly' kind of feeling.
Then, after swallowing, he spoke to the manager.
"...Then. I'll look at the synopsis."
"Oh~ That's good!"
However, the manager gave an explanation with a slightly awkward expression.
'But it doesn't seem like a synopsis is necessary...'
"Yes?"
"Yeah, this is like a cameo."
"...!!"
"You know the baby shaman that Small Sejin did in a movie, right? It's kind of like a surprise appearance... Sejin-ah? Are you listening?"
"..."
That's right. The whole dogfight was caused by a misunderstanding...
Keun Sejin and Bae Sejin looked dazed and couldn't get a hold of themselves throughout the whole day.
And anyway, a few days later, Bae Sejin finished the filming of 'the baby shaman who grew up to be a lunatic' in one day and appeared as a surprise cameo in the first and second episodes.
"Wow..."
"Oooh..."
And on the day of watching it, as a result, his praiseworthy synchronization with the shaman role was almost like his ghostly appearance as a child, and it was very impactful.
Except that the ghostly appearance of that time seemed to come from actual annoyance...
"Hyung, your acting skills are really amazing."
"You're cool!"
"...It, it's not even much."
Well, in the end, Bae Sejin also liked it.
However, a preview video that came out after the drama ended was more shocking.
The airing of season 4 was really just around the corner.

lovely | poetry
Sometimes my voice dies in my throat, buries itself beneath waves of crippling suffocation, burns itself out as cold hands tear at my laced skin. I have smiled while my eyes have cried and pleaded, my wrists numb, my lips wobbling and blue, and stars escaping this dark night that I'm trapped in. I long for a darkness that gives way to light. But I do feel the warmth of petals gathering and scattering in my cold bones, and imagine the touch and the sweetness of a kiss, and my heart rises to the surface of this sea and finds a sky painted by passing artists remaining far above our heads. I'm breathing out all the words I've kept locked under the pages of my breaking mind. And by doing so, I'm going to heal.TRIGGER WARNINGS: depression, anxiety, self harm, suicidal thoughts, OCD, panic attacks
