Ye

Debut or Die - 231

The emergency room was still busy serving its original purpose. This is because the news had not yet reached the reporters.

Lee SeJin looked at the ground and thought silently.

"I called the agency, so this will end."

Unable to compose and stay calm, he urged to pull himself together and convince himself that company personnel would soon come out saying all sorts of words to make the situation understood.

Still, he couldn't do it... Not in this situation.

Except for Ryu CheongWoo, who lost consciousness, he was the only person who could communicate with the company, but he couldn't keep his composure.

— ...Hueup.

Lee Se-jin grabbed the phone from him and took a deep breath.

His hands were shaking.

Most of the members were fine. The extent of his injuries only reached sprained or fractured joints.

It should be confirmed if they suffer from any side effects after a while, but even Lee SeJin, who was now in charge, only suffered from minor abrasions.

The one responsible for everything that happened was knocked unconscious because he wasn't wearing his seat belt, but even that was merciful compared to someone else.

"He should have died."

However, Lee SeJin held his breath from him, overwhelmed with emotions other than just anger towards his ex-manager.

Because it was terrifying.

— Is everyone alright...?!

He remembered the time when he checked the status of his companions right after the accident.

But when he saw the person next to Ryu CheongWoo, who was sitting in the back...

"...No, he's going to be fine."

He... he was in shock, he thought the injury was much more serious than it really was.

They all had minor injuries. Ryu CheongWoo, who was sitting behind him, closer to where the car was hit, only broke his leg, but Park MoonDae... couldn't believe it...

It was to see the abundant bleeding. He had a blood transfusion and surgery, so he was sure he would be fine.

Lee SeJin tried to calm down by assuming things that he really couldn't tell.

This is because when he almost signed Park MoonDae's surgery consent form right before he had it done...

— The current condition of the patient... that is why it is very dangerous... the tube inserted immediately...

He tried his best to listen, but he couldn't concentrate.

He did not feel that what was happening was real.

"Until... recently, we were performing for our second anniversary."

No matter how unexpected an accident is, why did it come when he wasn't prepared?

Why was he so helpless?

Yes, this was ridiculous.

"We were doing very well."

Wasn't this too unfair? What did Park MoonDae do wrong...?

Why did it have to be Park MoonDae, when in this industry it is not easy to find a person as talented, diligent and hard-working as him?

He was a young man whose life was not easy.

— Parental consent is required.

— His parents...

They are no longer here. Lee SeJin's blood ran cold.

— C-can't I sign it? It is just that...

— Wait a moment.

It seemed that the young man's vital signs were coming and going, so instead of getting Lee SeJin's signature, the doctors had a brief meeting where they reconfirmed the patient's condition and immediately began surgery.

It was possible because it was an emergency, but anyway, Lee SeJin sat waiting for the result.

— ...

And he thought.

The other members, who were still in a panic, had already been treated, so they should know about the situation by now.

Lee SeJin was able to quickly recall the scene of crying, screaming, and rioting in anger.

"Soon there will be eyewitness accounts... When they publish articles, rumors will spread..."

No, what's the point of all that? All limbs must recover.

Lee SeJin clenched his teeth and hands.

"He will be fine."

The fact that he has undergone surgery means that there is a chance that he will recover.

So when Park MoonDae regains consciousness soon...

— Then you will die suddenly at the age of thirty!

"Shit, I shouldn't have said that..."

He hit one of his knees with a fist.

The reality was in front of his eyes.

"He's going to wake up."

He has to do it.

*   *   *

— ...I am Ryu GunWoo.

— Oh~ It is a pleasure to meet you. I look forward to your continued support! My name is Lee SeJin.

I looked at the person who greeted me friendly with a strange feeling.

Even in a coma, he was still lively, but there was something different.

"This bastard's gaze..."

It had disappeared.

He smiles brightly and behaves himself, saying that he will seize the opportunity somehow, but the doubts and limitations cannot be erased from his eyes as if he is going to take the risk.

"...It seems to have been a fatal blow to leave the show because of the rumors."

And since he had quit the show due to the school bullying rumors, I don't understand why LeTI brought me here to carefully explain everything to him.

— This brings to mind, may I know how old are you? I am 21 years old~

— I'm also 21.

— Oh, you are also of the same age.

I don't know if he thought I'm a senior or something, but he's not talking to me casually.

It means that his mentality has been shattered due to rumors to the point that he doesn't consider the popularity he gained from participating in Icorpo.

I sighed and spoke.

— We should talk casually.

— Oh, is that so? Okay~

I chatted with Lee SeJin to give him more information, and then he left to meet an employee from his agency.

— ...

That's right.

I was trying to get as many guys as I could before Icorp was over, but strangely, doing so left a bitter aftertaste.

And as for Seon AhHyun... the agency has not given their answer yet.

... After watching the broadcast episodes of Icorpo, I understood the reason.

"Shit."

My head ached.

...Should I have used the force to participate in Icorpo in some way?

In fact, for LeTi, it wouldn't be difficult to kick out a contestant from this bankrupt show and replace them with his own trainee.

The problem is that the agency flatly rejected it.

— "Idol Corporation"? Why would you go there...?

"... They said there was nothing to be gained."

CheongRyu mentioned that it was possible that two or three trainees would be added to the program because they were not going to debut at the agency.

But they wouldn't send an untrained trainee labeled with a powerful agency name to a low-quality program.

At that time, everyone thought that the third season of Icorpo would be ruined.

"I couldn't convince him."

I thought that I could liven up CheongRyu more with the bait of my knowledge of the future, but it was impossible to do it in time because the first shooting of Icorpo was just around the corner.

"Fuck."

The only positive thing is that this agency treats me quite well.

— GunWoo-ssi, have you never taken lessons before? Really?

I became a trainee two, almost three months ago. When about 15 days passed, they confirmed my abilities and everyone's attitude towards me became more friendly.

It is understandable. My three years of experience as a lead vocalist hasn't gone anywhere.

"Looks like they're planning to join a group that may possibly debut."

Regarding that "possible debut group", there was no news of their debut even after 3 years, so I'd like to tell them to get rid of it.

— ...Huh.

I sat looking at the mirror in the practice room. The familiar face he had seen for 29 years was reflected in the mirror.

... To be honest, the process itself makes me much more comfortable.

Already my skills are almost complete, the company is smart and the treatment is good. Also, I already know which song and which concept I should debut.

If I gather only members whose skills have been verified, I will surely gain victory after debut.

And as long as I can't call the status window, I'd better bring the guys I've already worked with.

"...I think it's only a matter of time before I can contact Seon AhHyun."

It would be perfect to catch some more guys with "Casting Call" and make our debut. If it's not possible, I can add at least one former trainee from the agency.

So, it's much easier compared to the crazy real experience I had participating in Icorpo...

But strangely, I didn't like it.

— ...Well, this isn't real.

I finished thinking, convincing myself that there is nothing I can do because the purpose is to wake up.

—  "This isn't real"?

—...!

When I turned my head, I saw CheongRyu coming in from the back door of the practice room.

"This bastard didn't even learn to knock on the door before opening it?"

I nodded with an awkward voice.

— I was just saying.

— Hmm, you must be thinking like that right now.

— ...

— But whether or not it's real, don't think about it. It's a waste of time.

Sorry to hear that, but it's a dream, bastard.

I just nodded without saying a word. CheongRyu smiled and continued.

— Oh, you said you would accompany me in "Casting Call". It will be filmed in three days.

— ...

— You can't appear on the show, I'll just take you with me.

— That's enough.

He wouldn't like me to appear on the show.

Anyway, after my future knowledge was checked several times, the creepy guy turned nice and easily agreed to the manipulation of the «Casting Call».

— Hmm... You're saying that this question will come out, right?

— Yes.

Well, the method of "receiving a transfer offer to the artist's agency whose answers are similar to those of the trainee after having answered a few questions" will be reversed.

Even though he's going to debut, I know LeTi will recommend making the offer to Kim RaeBin.

As for Cha YooJin and Ryu CheongWoo... no matter how hard we try, I know they won't come for nothing.

So, I'm thinking of catching the only guy left.

— I already told you, he will probably answer the same.

Bae Sejin.

If he does it right, he will be the easiest to catch at this point.

*   *   *

A few days later, on the Icorpo filming set.

— Move this first!

I checked the situation by running errands for LeTi in an outfit similar to that of the staff.

"...The odds are high."

First of all, I confirmed that the agency had contacted the two members before the "Casting Call" and they talked about it.

"With Kim Rae Bin and Bae Sejin."

It was thanks to the advice I gave CheongRyu that he agreed to place my order.

At this time, Icorpo was so successful that he was willing to play this trick.

I advised him to offer both of them a contract in the best and firmest direction.

"To convince Kim RaeBin, he has to focus on job support."

— Among the national entertainment companies, we invest the largest part of the budget in production facilities.

The AR work of this agency is very systematic. Also, RaeBin is a person who was curious about the recording software used by VTIC, so there is a good chance that he will be seduced by the offer.

And considering his moral bias, he didn't even mention the question leak story.

He emphasized that this was the "official form" of the Casting Call.

— It would be a great pleasure if you could join my agency thanks to the official transfer method of the program.

I obviously advised that he could persuade Cha YooJin to tag along if he wanted.

"YooJin is the kind of quick-witted person who pays attention when needed."

If he looks at the current situation and agrees with the proposal, he will look at RaeBin's response and follow. Although the chances of that happening are very low.

"And for Bae Sejin... security."

— We are fully staffed with the legal team and actively work with major law firms to protect artists.

With the subtle nuance of being strong in the face of disputes with the agency, he openly stated that he called him because of the similarity in answers and also to ask him some questions.

I know he looks like a bully, but I think that should be enough.

In this process, CheongRyu played the role of seducing them to sign with the agency instead of me surprisingly well.

"Thank goodness I did a good job changing the composition of the bait to attract them."

So now it's time to see the results.

I continued pretending to be a staff member and checked the TV.

First...Kim RaeBin.

[That... well, I'm sorry. Since I'm on this show, I want to do my best.]

I could see that he thought about it deeply compared to how he did it in the real Casting Call in the past, but in the end he refused.

"I imagined."

But the important point is after that.

[Here you have.]

[Oh yeah! Thank you very much.]

He received a business card.

In other words... it means that if the show goes wrong due to an unfortunate accident or if he leaves the show, he will contact LeTi.

We don't know what's going to happen.

"This is enough."

I've been watching this production team for three years in my own way, and I know there are ways to tear Icorpo apart. There will be three or four negative things that will air from now on.

Furthermore, after filming ended, even Ryu CheongWoo received a business card from a LeTi employee who took advantage of the confusion and snuck in to approach him.

The result was better than expected.

"What can I do with Cha YooJin...? I think we could all debut together."

Suddenly my hair stood on end.

And I swallowed hard.

Well, not everything turned out as I imagined.

[...No. I'm fine, don't worry.]

— ...!

Bae Sejin...refused.

He didn't even take the business card.

"Are you crazy?"

Why is he kicking the rope to get out of the well? I know he was thinking about it a lot even in the actual casting call in the past.

[Good. I wish you well.]

However, the results did not change.

I confirmed that Bae Sejin will remain in Icorpo.

*   *   *

—...

I walked with my mouth closed.

"I feel like I've been slapped on the cheek."

I'd decided that if this didn't work, I'd just ignore it, but I don't know why I feel bad.

Bolkol

I stormed into the bathroom intending to splash cold water on my face.

—...!!

—...!

And my eyes met Bae Sejin's.

I don't know if he was also bearing his grief with the help of the water, but he had an obviously embarrassed expression on his face.

"If you are going to do this, why did you refuse?"

I couldn't contain my irritation and impulsively spoke to him.

— Why didn't you accept?

— What?

Sejin answered blankly.

— LeTi is a good agency.

— ...

His face paled, then sullen, and finally he looked exhausted.

"Did I hit it too hard?"

— What...? You, from LeTi...?

— Yes, I am a member of the staff.

Bae Sejin looked at me with a puzzled face and then became extremely defensive. He snapped back.

— You guys... do this to steal celebrities?

—...!

— In order to rob me, they called me in advance... and asked questions...

"Shit."

I just ruined it.

This boy is terrified.

We asked him questions and even mentioned him to the legal team beforehand.

Sejin must be feeling similar to how he felt about his own agency.

— ...

Kung

Bae Sejin ran out of the bathroom.

And I had no choice but to admit my mistake.

*   *   *

He was in the car, going back.

I crossed my arms, trying to clear my mind.

"Let's pretend this never happened."

Still, I felt worse.

CheongRyu, in front of me, checked that the member next to him was sleeping well before speaking.

— Hoobae-nim?

— Yes?

— No, I don't understand. Why ask them if they weren't going to join in the end?

— ...

— The former actor was not even a good contestant, why did you want to bring him? If it was me, I would have denied him the opportunity.

— ... What?

— He's not cooperative, and doesn't seem very useful.

—...!!

I feel like he hit me on the head.

Why did I try to bring it?

"That is because..."

Because I unconsciously was aware of it.

If he debuts in Icorpo, posts about Bae Sejin and drugs will be written, and that will bring his career
to an end.

"That guy's life is screwed."

I gritted my teeth.

Actually, I know.

What does it matter if Bae Sejin's drug rumors are quashed or his career dies when this isn't even real?

I don't know why the hell this shit bothers me, dammit.

— Don't worry about the relationship you had with him in the past. You will lose.

— ...

— Anyway, everyone just took business cards, so the number of people for your party is unconfirmed. You better not do that.

— What?

CheongRyu smiled.

— Hmm, how about joining VTIC?

—...!!

What kind of madness is this?

"It must be a trap."

To say that I joined as a new member of the idol group that remains at the top even in this season where he has renewed his contract... This guy has a talent to say kill myself in a different way.

— No, listen well.

And he began, to my surprise, to speak quite reasonably.
