Debut or Die - 247

First day of distress on an uninhabited island.

Kwagwagwang!!

Outside the villa, heavy rain was still continuing and the wind was still blowing like crazy.

"I'm glad the guy who built this had a mindset focused on his own safety."

It was fortunate that the villa was away from the sea.

I sighed and lay down in the living room.

And in the same way, Cha YooJin lay down next to me.

- It would be good to think about this in the following way. Imagine there's a zombie apocalypse outside! That's why we are staying together in this comfortable shelter.

- Yes, it's very comforting.

- Hehehe!

Don't laugh, kid.

It made me laugh, but my mind was a little messed up.

"What should I do about the shooting?"

If the days continue like this, we'll lose a lot of footage and the program will be ruined?

- Hyung, we can't film at this time anyway. Relax~ At least you have to spend it comfortably.

- ...!

- You don't have to worry about things that human beings can't solve.

... He spoke in a very firm manner.

I closed my mouth for a moment, then looked at the rain falling outside and ended up admitting it.

"I can't affect the weather."

Well, it was a filler program, so it wouldn't be a big deal to waste it.

TN: It is a "filler program" because it was decided at the last minute as an excuse to rest and at the same time have some content for their fans.

- Yes, you are right.

- That's right!

I lay in the living room, watching the rain, and before I knew it, time passed and it was time for lunch.

It was time for lunch.

Seeing everyone eating the same canned food really felt like we were in some sort of disaster movie.

- Hmmm, how about we go to the barn and see if there are any eggs?

- SeJin-ah, you'll be swept away.

- Right.

TN: "쓸려" (sweep) is an expression meaning to be pushed by heavy rain, wind, water, etc.

The time flew by and we ended up eating an uninspiring meal for the second time.

In addition, the slow smartphone data service started to choppy more times.

"I feel really isolated..."

Thanks to that, nothing to do.

Having been excused from cleaning to prepare meals today, I sat in the living room with the best view of the weather and got lost in my thoughts.

We're running out of board games and can't go out for groceries....

Jiiing. Teuk.

- ...!!

Then...

Suddenly, the surroundings went dark.

- Eeeeh?

- Are you all right?

It was a power outage.

Because it's a deserted island, there was no other source of light outside during the night. Everything was completely dark.

I immediately raised my upper body.

At that moment, someone grabbed me by the shoulder.

- ...!

- Hyung!

- Okay.

It was YooJin. He had brought clothes to the living room.

Checking the voices, I recognized the others.

- Guys, let's not move, let's adjust to the darkness first.

That was Ryu CheongWoo.

- Y-yes...!

- Waah, if it happened five seconds earlier, I would have stopped while washing the dishes.

That was Seon AhHyun and Keun SeJin.

Cha YooJin is next to me and Kim RaeBin is on the other couch.

The one missing is.

"What about Bae Sejin?"

At that instant, there was the sound of something falling down and a suppressed scream.

Euuup!

- ...!

- Hyung!

Fortunately we heard his voice again.

- ... Don't worry!

But I was shaking a little. I shouted in the direction where the sound was coming from.

- What happened?

- I-I saw something strange... Don't come! I'll go over there.

- No. Stay there.

I hope it doesn't move.

I turned on the flashlight function on my phone and got up from my seat.

- Let's go together!

I don't mind if you come with me, but you don't have to strangle me. Behind YooJin, the others followed us when they saw the light and we moved quickly.

- Sejin hyung, are you there?

Bae Sejin lay on the ground in an ambiguous position. He must have been surprised to face a bright light out of nowhere when I turned on my phone's flashlight in the middle of the darkness.

- Are your legs okay?

- ... They're fine. No problem.

As I answered, Bae Sejin got up from the ground holding CheongWoo's hand, but he looked a little nervous.

- I... I think I pushed something while falling.

Bae Sejin swallowed saliva.

- And that... appeared.

I immediately moved the phone light to the direction he was pointing.

A cabinet had been slid out a bit.

And behind it was... a door?

What was revealed in the light was an opaque-colored fire door.

- Hul.

- What's that?

The reason Bae Se-jin was able to discover that was probably because of the soft glowing light on the floor. It looks like a painting that glows in the dark.

- Waah, could it be a secret room?

- I think it's used for evacuation!

- That's possible.

Those who had been muttering soon made the sensible judgment that "it would be better not to enter private property.

"... It seems to lead to the basement."

Recalling the structure of the villa, beyond that door there seemed to be a wildflower path nearby.

Keun SeJin murmured uneasily from behind.

- Isn't this similar to that? It looks like when you were isolated in a cabin in the middle of a snowstorm and through an incident you discovered a hidden door, then what would happen... Ugh! 

- No.

That would be terrible... No, I won't talk nonsense.

After giving Keun SeJin a strong pat on the back, I returned to the living room.

The guys followed me, stopping in their rooms to look for their phones.

- Phew.

- How about looking for a flashlight?

- There was in the pantry by the front door. I'll get it.

- Oooh~

After securing a flashlight thanks to CheongWoo's active intervention, we perked up a bit.

The problem is that there's no way to recharge the phones again.

"I should use it moderately to save the battery."

There's no electricity, so it's no big deal. I broke my silence.

- Hmm, this could be dangerous, how about sleeping together?

- I agree~

- Let's tell scary stories!

That night we gathered for bedtime in the living room.

I consumed extra energy because I was asked to translate the scary story YooJin had started to tell.

And the next morning.

The situation had become more terrible.

- T-the stable...!

- Huh? Has it flooded?

It had been raining for two days, so the water got into the front yard.

Thanks to the strong wind, the chicks that had come out of the open barn door floated up and were about to be swept across the yard.

In the flowing muddy water, the little yellow lumps were drifting farther and farther away.....

Kkogogokkokok!!!

A chicken cried pitifully.

- No!!!

- W-we have to save them...!!!!!

In the end, in the rush, we all ran together to the barn without carrying umbrellas or wearing a raincoat, just wearing our pajamas.

"I'm going crazy."

- Get it! Get it!

- Guys, be careful you don't fall! Get down!

The good news is that no one stuck their heads in the muddy water because they were getting regular exercise.

And all the chicks were saved after many twists and turns.

It was like this. I'll just mention that YooJin and CheongWoo played an active role in the rescue.

- What a relief!

- Phew...

The guys with wet yellow lumps on their hands walked towards the stable and tried to repair it.

- Phew, that's good.

- Since we're here, let's bring eggs!

I wondered what was the point of them squeezing the water out of their clothes when it was raining on their bodies, but in any case, they were proud to clean up their mess.

And...there was only one egg.

"Hmm."

I spoke as I shook my head.

- Shall we eat one?

- What?

- Eeeeh?

- Since there are five chickens, I think we could catch one.

- ¡¡...!!

Since there are seven of us, we could catch a chicken.

Kim Raebin nodded.

- That's a good idea. Eating too much canned food is bad for your health.....

- No!!! No! You can't!!!

- Uwaaaah, oh my god. MoonDae-ya, how can you say that when we just rescued these little chicks!!!!!

- I don't understand what you're saying. Aren't we raising them so we can eat them?

And when it comes to hunting a chicken, it's funny that the people who like to eat chicken the most, are the ones who oppose my idea.

YooJin was the one who objected the most.

- They're not food!!! We raise them right!!!!

This boy passionately explained the metaphor of "The Little Prince and the Rose", mixing Korean and English.

- Just as the rose is special to the Little Prince, why can't these chickens be special chickens to us!!!!

Okay, I got it.

- Haha, okay. Let's just take the egg.

After CheongWoo closed the topic, RaeBin secretly whispered to me.

- If you catch a chicken, I strongly recommend that when you hand it out, don't include YooJin.

- ...

Anyway, after the chaos in which we only got one egg, we returned to our rooms.

But another surprise awaited us.

- ... The water was cold.

- That's right.

The hot water didn't come out due to a power outage, so we had to face the cold water. Bae Sejin, who showers with hot water even in the middle of summer, seems to have had a very shocking experience.

"If this keeps up, I don't think we'll be able to stay well."

It was fortunate that the stove was running on gas again instead of induction, so we were able to heat up the food, but this also has its limitations.

So, after eating, I talked to those who filled their stomachs with white rice, half-boiled French fries and red pepper tuna.

- First of all, we have to do something about electricity.

- ... Right.

- You're right... but I don't have any knowledge in that specialty.

Yes, it's a problem because we have all specialized in the same profession. There was a silence among those who dedicated their lives to art and sports.

Then, Bae Sejin spoke with a puzzled expression.

- On the switchboard, wouldn't it be good to raise the lever right now?

- Oh.

- Ah, that's possible!

That's right. Although there is also a high probability that flipping the switch up will cause a troublesome short circuit in the fuse box.

I was pessimistically thinking "We had electricity thanks to the solar panels, but we've used up all the electricity for the last few days because the sun hasn't come out...", but I stopped myself.

"It might also be easier than I thought."

CheongWoo folded his arms.

- Hmm where is it? I couldn't see it under the front door or on the outside wall.

- Sh-should we ask...?

Just like you said, we tried to text the PD, but it failed frequently. I don't think the signal is working well.

- Could the strong wind have broken the antenna?

- It could be because we are in a remote location. So far, we have not picked up the signal well many times.

- Hmmm.

We pondered for a moment, but soon we all came to the same conclusion.

- We have nothing to do anyway, so let's look for the electrical panel.

- Let's do that~

So, divided into groups of two and three, we went to explore every nook and cranny of the house.

Well, we'll find it before the sun goes down.

*   *   *

- Hmm, isn't it?

- ...

Why isn't it in plain sight?

- We'll probably find it, won't we?

- Yes.

I was in charge of searching the second floor with Keun SeJin and Kim RaeBin.

And usually, the distribution board was at the corner of the second floor.

However, although we walked for quite a long time, we could not see the distribution board anywhere.

- Is there any possibility that it is on another floor?

- That's possible, but...

If it's a house, isn't it usually on the lower floors?

RaeBin then raised his hand.

- Couldn't it be at the secret door that Bae Sejin hyung found last time?

- ...!

- Oh~ It could be.

I remembered the dimly colored fire door hidden behind the closet.

"Certainly...there's a possibility."

It seemed to lead to the basement, so there might be a boiler room and a distribution board installed there.

- Shall we go?

- ... Okay.

I headed with them to the corner of the hallway where the closet was.

As I went in that direction, it got darker because there were no windows. I had to turn on the flashlight even though it was daylight.

- It's a good thing you brought it~ I almost scared myself!

- Ensuring a good field of vision is also very important.

We got to the front of the closet quickly. When they finished pushing it out of the way, a rather large fire door appeared under the light of the flashlight.

"... It's too overblown to be the entrance to a boiler room."

- Shall I open it?

- ... Don't worry.

It would be preferable if the person holding the flashlight opened the door.

I grabbed the fire door handle and turned it.

The door was not locked.

Kkiiiik.

The door opened with an uncomfortable sound, as if it didn't open often.

It was completely dark and quiet because nothing was on.

When I shone the flashlight inside, I could barely make out some stairs leading down.

- ...

- ...

- ... It's a bit scary, isn't it?

No, it's just a feeling.

- Come on, let's go.

- Wait!

- W-what if we meet up with other people who are looking elsewhere and go down together?

- You're scared too, MoonDae~ It shows on your face.

Since the two cowards actively insisted, I waited for a while until we were joined by the search team from the second floor.

- Oh, so it was here.

- WOW, it's dark!

It was Bae Sejin and Cha YooJin.

I doubt they've finished searching the entire second floor, but... since we gathered, let's go in.

The five of us closed the fire door and descended the stairs, relying on the light of a flashlight.

Because it was underground, the temperature was low and there was a rusty smell coming from somewhere.

Ttubok.

- Why did they make this place like this?

- It must be the owner's taste.

- I think so too.

Ttubok.

- ...I've been thinking about something.

- What is it?

Bae Sejin stopped.

- Why would that person build a villa like this on a deserted island...?

- ...

In an instant, the atmosphere turned cold.

- ... Well, maybe he liked it because it's a quiet place~?

- But he provided it to programs for entertainment purposes.

Bae Sejin said so with an expression as if he was in a cold sweat.

- If he liked this place to be kept quiet, he wouldn't do that.

- ...

The group fell silent again, but soon desperate defenses came from here and there.

- Maybe he's a person who likes entertainment programs!

- It's possible he has a very close friend at the TV broadcasting station!

- ... Yes. Sorry.

Bae Sejin remained silent.

Silently, I turned my neck and pointed forward.

- I think we're almost there.

- Ah.

Before we knew it, the stairs ended and the floor appeared.

In the huge space... there seemed to be wooden crates stacked everywhere.

- Oh, is it a warehouse?

- It looks like it.

Perhaps a little relieved, the voices of the others perked up.

"The distribution board..."

And as I continued to search the walls by shining the flashlight, I found something unexpected.

- ...!

- Huh?

It was another door. Well, a double door.

There was nothing special about it. However, what flowed underneath that door was....

Keun SeJin said in a trembling voice.

- ... Isn't that blood?

Blood?

Indeed, a thick, dark red liquid was dripping on the floor under the door.

- ...

After seeing it, I realized that it was what I had thought was a rust smell.

"Iron."

It was blood.

- ...!!

- WAAAAAAAAAK!!!!

- EUHAAGH!!!

Terrified screams filled the room.

I staggered backwards and fell down.

"Report..."

Holy shit, where am I supposed to report to, what is this?

- OH JEEZ! WHAT THE XX IS THIS!! IT'S BLOOD!!!!

- I TOLD YOU IT'S WEIRD!!! AAAAGH!!!!

- LET'S GO UPSTAIRS, LET'S GO RIGHT NOW...!!!

And at that moment.

Dalkak.

Suddenly the light came back.

I could quickly see what I wanted.

- ...??

- Huh?

It was a very soft light. The atmosphere was turned upside down in an instant.

The place I thought was a dingy warehouse... was a basement that had been sensibly designed.

- ...?!

The wooden boxes we saw earlier also seem to have been stacked to create a pure atmosphere.

It was a warehouse with a nice interior decoration.

And the door I saw was...

- ... Isn't that a freezer?

Yes.

What I had mistaken for a double door... was a modern, shiny gray freezer.

- ...

I walked over and opened the freezer doors.

As if still emanating cold air, my nose grew cold.

As several sausages and chunks of meat thawed, blood dripped out and flowed down.

That was the source of the rust or fishy smell.

- ...

- ...

There was a long silence.

- Oh, so they were here.

- Moo-MoonDae-ya, we found... the switchboard...!

- ... Guys?

- A-are you there...?

Until the guys who searched the third floor and found the distribution board came down here, the rest were silent and pondered their stupidity.

And the fact that I was included in the rest of them, I can't deny it....

*   *   *

- Still, there's a lot of meat.

- Yes, it was a problem because we mistook it for human flesh.

We were calm.

When I came to my senses, I took the meat that had not yet gone bad out of the freezer.

We will have to ask for understanding from the owner of this villa later, but it will be understandable to some extent because it is due to a natural disaster.

- Look, look! I'm glad we didn't catch it!

- ... I know

I silently affirmed when I saw the frozen chicken YooJin picked up.

- The fridge is working again, so let's move some things to eat.

- Yes~

"I'm glad I'm not going to be seen with a stupid expression..."

I felt relieved in the bottom of my heart, but I soon realized that it was a vain relief.

...These days, camera batteries last longer than expected.
