Ye

Debut or Die - 246

The production of the entertainment program was easier than expected.

I planned to set up just one proper unmanned camera and release their recordings as episodes on WeTube, but the agency's CEO contacted me immediately after hearing a bit of my plan without my knowledge.

- I heard that CVN has a free space, how about going out there?

The time slot in which a drama was being aired would be empty for two weeks due to a problem with the cast. It seemed like they would give us that slot as if they were giving us flowers.

It wasn't a normal suggestion, though.

- It was more discreet than I thought.

- Yes.

- Right~ He seemed to have been watching us!

Others judged similarly.

Anyone could understand that it was a strategy in which the CEO was bowing to us so that he could reestablish the relationship with TeSTAR.

However, Bae Sejin did not like it and said it was like a conciliation scheme luring us with bait.

- It seems as if he wants to tell us to wipe our mouths after eating that bait. He is not interested in our activities as singers, but is doing it for entertainment...!

TN: "Wiping your mouth after eating the bait" figuratively can be interpreted as "I gave you a reward, so now do/say what I want (to maintain an image)."

That may be true, but I am not able to state that opinion strongly.

- Of course... I have decided not to sue, so it doesn't matter if we accept it.

Because we concluded that we will not take legal action.

- Ah, hyung, there's something I want to say.

- Eh?

- I'd like to collect and organize the data that each of us gathered for the lawsuit, okay?

- That, uh! I don't mind, but... why?

- There's something I want to check.

- ...?

Bae Sejin found it suspicious, but he passed the data without any problems.

And I was a little surprised.

"... You've looked up all the precedents."

From incidents with former managers to legal advice. It was more realistic than I thought, and the meticulous collection of evidence was powerful data.

If I added the recorded call logs and text messages I saved, it could be really plausible lawsuit material.

I admitted.

"This is unbelievable."

If we had given Sejin the chance, he might actually win the case.

But even if the trial takes us less than a year, and even if we win, it will be a problem because there would be no agency to accept us due to the atmosphere of the industry.

As Bae Sejin said, if more winning cases were to accumulate, then the atmosphere will change.

- W-what do you think?

Give an honest answer. The evidence of this hard work and concentration deserved it.

- In fact, I'm thinking that we could use it and have a similar effect as a lawsuit, only in a different direction.

- Is that possible?

- I'm not sure because I'm still thinking about it, but the data you prepared is very good. Hyung, I would like you to advise me when I clarify my thoughts, is that okay with you?

- Of course it's okay!

Bae Sejin looked a little uncomfortable after speaking, but somehow he seemed to feel a little better.

"... I'll have to fix it some more."

For now, I'll check it on my phone.

Thus, the lawsuit story moved forward and the CEO's proposal was immediately accepted. It's nice to be featured on a TV channel's programming.

And the fact that the scale of the entertainment program has quietly increased... I don't know whether to consider it a positive thing.

This is the result of the first impromptu meeting we're having right now at the agency.

- We've rented out an island!

- ... What?

- Eeei, as you know, there are many TeSTAR fans all over the nation~ The most extreme fans might chase after you!

The production team leader smiled and displayed the data on the screen.

- It's an island that used to be used for another variety show, so we rented it out completely.

I heard that the island is privately owned by a wealthy person who built a nice villa on it.

Also, an escape entertainment show was filmed there earlier this year, so the facilities related to that show are still maintained and are quite diverse.

We were also told that thanks to that we could save time and money, which we were lacking.

- It's good, isn't it? It is a good option to show that TeSTAR will be able to enjoy comfortably in the natural environment.

The members were a little embarrassed for the production team, who were proud that they had solved such a difficult problem well and that it is within the production cost.

"Will it be possible to make it look like we are resting?"

The scale has become so large that I think we will have to work with all our might.

But the production team stood firm.

- They'll be able to play! Have fun in comfort!

- Oh, will it be okay to do so?

- Of course it will~ Since it will be an entertainment program with a recovery story, the scenes and footage length will depend on the editing!

It was a very self-directed production team.

- Say everything you want to do! Yacht? Massage? Yoga?

- Eat a lot!!!

- That's good!

And after Cha YooJin made the first suggestion, suddenly each and every one of the guys contemplated what they wanted to do in that place.

After suggesting campfire, swimming, meditation and even mountain climbing, the question came back to me as well.

- What would you like, MoonDae-ssi?

- I... I don't know. I was thinking about cooking.

It's content suitable for all audiences, and it's not a bad thing, so it would be worth watching.

However, from the production team's point of view, cooking must have been something basic.

- That's a normal thing to do~ Isn't there something in particular that you like to do while resting?

YooJin interjected.

- MoonDae hyung takes good pictures! He's the best!

- Oh~ Then it would be nice to go all over the island to take pictures together!

The amount of activities we would do increased after receiving high praise.

I gave up my plan to enjoy my rest inside the dormitory, as I thought everything would work out perfectly.

Until the first day of shooting arrived, filled with many complications.

- ...?

- Is that all?

The production team sent us to a beautiful villa with unmanned cameras set up everywhere.

Literally, without any instructions or clues.

- Oh... Hmm, no game?
- I-I thought we'd be given a mission....

There wasn't.

Only seven young people entered a large three-story villa on the island, where the beach, mountains and wildflower trails are spectacular.

- ...

- ...

Sitting quietly in the living room, the boys soon understood the situation.

- They really want us to do whatever we want.

- Waah, we've never done anything like this before, have we?

And then, they got excited as we did our duty to tour the villa.

- Wow, this room is nice!

- A room for two people is basic? Oh, this looks like a room for three people to sleep together!

- It's so big!

- ... MoonDae-ya, what are you doing?

- I'm checking the water pressure.

The villa building was good. I don't know how it was built and maintained on this remote island, but it had gas and water pipes.

"Is there a water tank on the roof?"

Anyway, except that a single room was not guaranteed because it would be passed on, it was an environment where recovery would not really be needed.

[Welcome lunch for TeSTAR *^^*]

The kitchen even had flower necklaces and snack baskets with a card with that text on it.

When I opened the refrigerator, the ingredients were ready.

"That's amazing."

To be honest, I don't think this made the video very interesting at all. I quietly closed the refrigerator containing the big pork ribs for samgyetang.

- I want to eat chicken! Let's cook and eat together!

- Okay.

- Yeeees!

YooJin is the most excited.

After going all around the house, people who were curious about the outside of the villa started to pry outside.

- Is that... a stable?

- I think so.

- MoonDae MoonDae, look! It's from the escape program! I guess they left the set installation used~

- That's interesting.

I don't know if the installation hasn't been torn down yet or if the owner has asked to leave it, but the TV station's logo was left on the wall.

Well, if after three days we have nothing to do, I think it would be okay to go in. It's the same station that our program will be aired on, so it would be nice to do some advertising for it.

"In fact, it would be awesome to have content for three days."

There's nothing else to do here except prepare food for three days. After a day or two of visiting the island, there will be nothing to do.

- Hyung, how about that?

- Oh, I thought they would be good for hiking.

- ...

That's right... I'll have to take on the role of a cook to avoid doing that.

Thinking of some logical reason to persuade him, such as the danger that the mountain trails are not paved properly, I looked away from the seven pairs of hiking boots that Ryu CheongWoo had brought.

- Th-there are some chicks in the barn...!

- Hul, don't you think they're cute?

After that, it was almost like an expedition.

The first place we went to was the barn located right next to the villa, which was full of hens and chicks. Looking closely at the structure, it seems to have been built recently for this occasion....

I rolled my eyes when the boys exclaimed how cute the chicks were, as I guessed the approximate reason why there would be a barn here.

"They installed it for us to use the eggs."

Isn't that the general rule for this type of entertainment program?

Then I took a look at the beach, strolled along the colorful wildflower path nearby and had a quick bite to eat.

The easiest menu to prepare was kimchi stew.

- There is pre-cooked rice. There is also canned ham.

- ... The stew is delicious.

- Hmm, shall we go get some eggs from the barn?

By this time, I had settled in.

"It's no different than a real retreat to recuperate in the country."

Honestly, I almost forgot about the existence of cameras. Even when I went for a walk, a camera mounted on a drone followed me, not a person.

I wondered how normal we would look in the footage, but concluded that the content would be nothing special.

But after lunch, when I was starting to feel drowsy....

Ping - dong!

The doorbell rang out of nowhere.

- Oh~

- Are they finally going to give us a mission?

It wasn't like that.

- Good afternoon! You're the ones who applied for the meditation class, right?

- That's right!

- Y-yes!

The requests that the guys had made when we had the meeting with the reality show production team started coming in.

From meditation classes to aromatic massages.

The experts and their team arrived in front of the villa at every turn.

- Please lie down on the sun loungers~.

- Yes!

- Oohyuuk.

It was a little funny that Bae Sejin groaned a lot while receiving a massage.

TN: "죽는소리" means "sound of death," but it is a shorthand for sore groans.

At the end of the day, it really did fulfill that "TeSTAR, do whatever you want".

I wonder if it would be boring to see other people getting favors on TV, but to some extent I'm relieved because I think it will be vicarious satisfaction.

Besides, we had to do the housework ourselves, at least to make ourselves look good to everyone.

It's worth doing that. No matter how hard it is, it's not good to show us just having fun all the time.

Since there are seven of us, we finished the housework quickly, so there wasn't much to worry about. I doubt we look bad because even though some are without much energy, they still try to do their best.

- I'm good at cooking!

- No, you're not good at cooking or arranging luggage, so it would be preferable for you to do the laundry....

- Kim RaeBin can't cook.

- No! I've been recognized in the last few cooking videos...

I don't know if this will be used as content, but even if it comes out, rumors of discord between them won't always come out.

And so three sweet days passed in an instant.

- Huaam.

- I like you~ Papang papang papang....

The guys gradually relaxed and ended up doing things they normally wouldn't do in front of the cameras, like sleeping too much, running around, or singing songs of all kinds.

Then, the Production Manager contacted us.

Maybe he didn't want to affect the filming, but he contacted us via text message instead of a phone call.

- Eh? Is that PD-nim?

- Yes.

The text message, which had been sent to CheongWoo's phone, read as follows.

[The weather is getting worse. Pay attention to safety, and focus on doing indoor activities!]

Keun SeJin, who read it aloud, shrugged his shoulders.

- Oh~ It's possible that it's like that. It's been three days.

- Yes. Should we reinforce the stable?

When we looked up the weather forecast, we found that there would be rain accompanied by strong wind, so we spent the morning of that day reinforcing the stable and then did our hobbies.

And that night.

Kwakwakwagwagwagwang!!!

- Woah!

- It's very noisy.

Between the rain and the strong wind accompanied by thunder and lightning, the boys played board games quietly inside the house.

But the next day.

¡¡Kwagwagwang!! ¡¡Kwagwagwagwang!!

- ...

- ... Is it still going on?

The rain and strong winds did not stop. Rather, they became more intense.

- MoonDae MoonDae, look at that.

I looked out the window and saw the waves crashing aggressively on the beach.

If the village had been built a little further out, the water would be flowing into it.

[It's impossible to float a boat or walk on the island right now, so please wait. I will come up with a countermeasure soon].

The laughter was lost after reading the PD's message.

- Hhhmm.

- The weather wasn't supposed to be like this today, but I think the forecast was wrong. Oh dear.

And looking at the new weather forecast, it looks like this will stay that way until at least the day after tomorrow.

"Damn."

I can already imagine the future of this broadcast. It's going to be boring because they'll only be able to show everything that was filmed when we had bright days.

Of course, there were other concerns besides the broadcast.

- W-we have to gather the chickens.....

At Seon AhHyun's words, Cha YooJin asked a question.

- Is our food all right?

- ...!!

- Wait.

I calculated in an instant.

The production team had promised to supply fresh food.... today.

In other words, it means that supplies are slowly running low.

- We still have pre-cooked rice and canned food. We won't starve to death.

- Uuuuh.

YooJin became depressed.

"No, not just the food."

The staff visits, who also came from time to time to change the storage memories of the cameras, have been cut off. Seeing that the situation is not so good, practically everything will have to stop soon.

I came to a conclusion.

- ... For the next two days, we will all have to stay together.

- ...

- Oh...

Among the speechless, Kim RaeBin swallowed hard and said.

- So we... we're really in trouble on a deserted island, aren't we?

- ...!

The time had come to realize a content we had not imagined.
