Ye

Debut or Die - 273

Let's order everything.

After watching the 1st place video of the new season of "Idol Corporation - Reincorporated!", Seon AhHyun showed a very bad reaction.

Because he froze and broke out in cold sweat.

- Are you okay?

- I-I'm fine...

It seemed like I was repeating myself.

- ...

I heard excuses like "I'm feeling a little sick" afterwards, but of course I wasn't going to believe it.

"How can a normal guy feel a little sick out of nowhere, after watching a ballet video?"

However, I didn't ask the reason on the spot. Because I had already surmised a possible reason.

And I wasn't the only one who noticed Seon AhHyun's abnormality.

- Park MoonDae, what did you watch before?

- What?

- Earlier, in the car.

- ...

After finishing that day's schedule and returning to the apartment, Keun SeJin immediately asked about the situation.

"Come to think of it, I was sitting right behind AhHyun."

Perhaps he had overheard the conversation.

I sat on Bae Sejin's bed, which the owner rarely uses, and said.

- Icorpo's 1st place video of this season.

- Ah, that participant...

I wondered if Keun SeJin had already monitored that season or if he was pretending to know about it, but soon his face hardened.

He probably made an assumption similar to mine.

- ...The one who did ballet?

- Yes.

The background of this season's 1st place and Seon AhHyun are quite similar.

And in fact, I've almost confirmed my guess.

- SeoDam said he attended an arts school to take ballet lessons ㅜㅜ He became a ballerino.

- Chae SeoDam studied at Sehwa Middle School? He must be close to SAH, there are not many idols who studied there.

It's because it's already been talked about on the Internet.

They are both from the same art school.

And when I saw AhHyun's reaction.... It seems like this bastard contributed quite a bit to his trauma.

- Ah... damn it.

For SeJin's face to have changed so much, it indicates that he had indeed done a search on his own.

- No... Is that bastard crazy, how dare he go to the same audition program?

- I think his thinking is somewhat different.

Either that or... his brain works very well.

I put my fingertips together.

- Maybe there is no evidence.

- No testimony?

SeJin immediately established the logic.

- There's nothing on this guy even if it was something made up? He's the one in 1st place.

- ...

- So there should be something about him everywhere.

No.

- If there was real testimony, it should have come up by now.

I said everything I had researched.

- That bastard has received a great reaction since his first performance of the program's theme song. It is almost fixed in the middle position and currently holds the 1st place. In addition, it appeared a good amount of time on camera in the aired episodes.

- ... If something were to blow up, would he have come out to talk by now?

- Yes, he would have.

I threw my phone on the bed.

- But no. There are no rumors circulating.

From anonymous sites to private accounts, I've looked everywhere, but there are no rumors about it.

It was clean.

It means he hasn't made any other enemies besides Seon AhHyun.

- Haah...

Keun SeJin sighed.

And after a moment of silence, he spoke with difficulty.

- ...It will be complicated.

- Yes.

If he wanted to do something, he should have at least done it before the first broadcast.

Now, this bastard already has quite a large fandom. It also has an aggressive fandom exclusive to audition and survival programs.

What would happen if the bullying he committed against Seon AhHyun is revealed and that guy is removed from the program?

Much of his fans' anger will be poured on Seon AhHyun.

I think I can already see the selection of words they will say.

- This stuttering bastard became popular because he is a handsome punk hahaha so he shouldn't rave and victimize.

Something like that.

And there are definitely people who are suspicious or feel dissatisfied. In the public's eyes, Seon AhHyun, the idol of the first male group of the program, is a strong rival.

They will surely say that "he is taking out his anger on him for the unfortunate days he had in school."

- Honestly, if Chae SeoDam really intimidated him, would he have gone to the same audition program as Seon AhHyun?

- Everyone else tells beautiful experiences they had with Chae SeoDam, but suddenly Seon AhHyun shows up and claims that he used to bullying him in school; am I the only one who feels weird about it?

- Besides, he knows that his life will turn to shit because Chae SeoDam has many fans and there is no evidence... Hmm.

In fact, whenever there is a controversy in interpersonal relationships it is very difficult to distinguish who is right and who is wrong, and public opinion is shaken by the circumstances.

I ended up coming to an unwanted conclusion.

- If it blows up now, it will definitely be a loss for AhHyun.

- ...

SeJin opened his mouth to say something, but then closed it. Then, he smiled bitterly.

- But don't you think AhHyun will suffer a lot if we leave him alone?

- ...

- Park MoonDae, you're worried about that, right?

That's right.

If this continues, I think someone will ask AhHyun something at least once during the program broadcast.

They will ask "Are you guys friends?".

"That's not good."

It's really bad. It's not about whether the bastard is doing well, but whether Seon AhHyun can take it without batting an eyelash.

Can he wave, talk and laugh when I see him at music shows, entertainment programs and year-end ceremonies?

It was not much different from having a red flag on future activities.

I pressed my temples.

- It would be difficult.

At that moment...

Dalkak

- ...what are you doing?

- Ah.

Bae Sejin entered carefully holding his things, but when he saw the atmosphere in the room, he hesitated.

- Nothing. We had something to discuss briefly.

- Yeah, yeah. It's no big deal, hyung~

- ...If that's what you say.

Bae Sejin had suspicious eyes, but without saying anything else, he simply put down his books, changed his blanket and left the room.

- Hmm.

I can't help but notice it myself, but talking to other people before talking to AhHyun will only destroy his mentality.

Keun SeJin shook his hands and stood up.

- MoonDae MoonDae, let's think about this some more.

- Okay.

We tacitly agreed.

As long as it was secret, there wasn't much to worry about. But it wasn't long before everyone realized it.

- Guys, has AhHyun said anything to you... about the new season of Icorpo?

- What?

- I feel like he was really nervous while watching TV.

This is because they announced the new season of Icorpo on all the TV shows that T1 invested in.

Starting with Ryu CheongWoo, the two maknaes, who had sat on the sides of the depressed AhHyun, got scared when they saw their pupils trembling as they watched the commercials.

- Hyung's expression was bad! He looked sick!

- This is definitely the pain he felt back when he was participating in the program, having watched this exciting season must have revived him... Right! Should I report this season to the Korea Communications Commission?

- It's not that, calm down.

- Yes, you idiot! It's not a broadcast, it's a person!

- A person?

- Yes!

Finally, Bae Sejin spoke up.

- That time, you guys were talking about Icorpo, right? That person! The one who said he did ballet, isn't that AhHyun's...?

- Yes, that's right. That's probably...

- Y-yes.

Then, with the exception of Seon AhHyun, all 6 members came to the same reasoning and thought of how to solve this situation.

And on the day AhHyun went out for a personal photo shoot, we gathered in the living room and started a discussion.

- ...

- First of all, about reporting it anonymously ... No, you cannot. Because they are currently not partners.

CheongWoo spoke and nodded his head. The rest also nodded their heads with serious faces.

However, other opinions did not come up easily. It was understandable.

"None of them have had a similar experience."

There was no answer because most of them had nothing to do with school violence.

Even Bae Sejin, the least sociable, seemed to have lived a life outside of class.

- Hmmm, what if we spread rumors first?

- I think his fans will rally. Even if an official accusation comes out later, don't you think they will do their best to refute it?

- Waah~ You're right.

Keon SeJin spoke as if he was resentful and tilted his head back.

Bae SeJin spoke with a somewhat nervous expression.

- ... Won't you have any records on social media?

- Oh, you mean that person's personal social media accounts?

- Yes. Guys like him likink to talk on social networks because they really want to get attention.

That was a good approach, but... I shook my head.

- He's deleted all of his social media accounts.

- A-all of them?

- Yes.

He deleted everything without leaving a single account. He did it half a year ago.

"As soon as the announcement of the audition for the new season of Icorpo came out, he wiped everything."

TN: Months before the show starts, the production team holds several castings nationwide for those aspiring to participate in the program to send in their personal information and videos demonstrating their skills. Once this is done, the production team chooses the best as participants in the program. When participating in the program, it is a rule not to have active social media accounts to avoid scandals.

At least that ensures that he is a very smart guy.

- So... there is very little we can do in these conditions. We don't have any leads.

- That's true.

When the atmosphere calmed down a bit, Cha YooJin raised his hand.

- Let's hear AhHyun hyung's opinion!

- ... AhHyun hyung's opinion?

- Yes! Let's ask if he wants to do something. What he thinks is very important!

- Hmmm.

I avoided it because I thought it would be a burden, but in fact, that was the norm.

Besides, it's unusual not to say anything at a time when all the other members have already noticed.

"And if we want to do something, the right thing to do would be to do it right now."

The more time passes, that bastard will become more famous.

And in the midst of all this, on the back of this issue, the new season of Icorpo is growing in popularity rapidly thanks to its controversies.

As expected, the talent pool was not as good as the previous season, but it wrote the narrative well by distinguishing between which contestants to discard and who to save.

"Ryu SeoRin."

That writer is certainly competent. After performing "K-NOW," her senses and skills have improved.

And as for the popularity of the program, it was better than the previous season of "Miry-nay."

"I should do something."

I also had to do it fast. If this continues until the program's next ratings ceremony, it will be out of control.

"... In the end, is it only left to ask him personally?"

I nodded my head.

- Let me ask him. We are roommates.

- Hmm, okay.

- Since AhHyun might get scared if he talks alone with MoonDae, I'll be there too~.

- ...

What?

But surprisingly, Keun SeJin's words were approved without any objection. I wonder what my image is among these guys.

Anyway, we talked in the evening. We got into action as soon as AhHyun arrived from his photo shoot and went to his bed to rest.

- E-eh? SeJin-ah?

- Yes~ AhHyun-ah, come and sit down!

Seon Ah-hyun had a puzzled face, but he came over without hesitation and sat on his own bed.

- Did you have a good photo shoot?

- Yes. I think it was good...!

And after the introduction to soften the atmosphere, the main topic finally began.

- AhHyun-ah. Do you know who takes 1st place in the current season of Icorpo?

- ...I-it's obvious?

- Just a little bit.

To tell the truth, I answered him openly, but it helped to soothe him moderately.

Seon AhHyun, who seemed to be lost in thought, had no choice but to nod slowly.

- Yes, w-we went to the same high school.

I threw a fastball.

- He liked to see you hurt.

- ...!

AhHyun swallowed saliva and admitted.

- Th-that's right.

He also added.

- But... I don't know.

What?

- M-maybe... Maybe it's because I'm weak. I-in fact, in my whole life, there have always been people who hated me. But I-I'm not good at putting up with that...

- Wait a minute.

I cut him off.

- If you don't like it, you don't have to put up with it. Didn't that harasser seem strange to you?

- I-I don't know if it was bothering me... I-I don't know. He didn't hit me or anything like that...

- What was it like?

- H-he was talked to me with a smile... although I don't think it was sincere, a-and weird things always happened...

- ... Can you give us an example?

- O-Once my shoes disappeared, so I was in trouble... A few days later, he thanked me for the loan and returned them... a-although I don't remember lending them to him, he told me that while smiling.

- Was it like that?

- H-he laughed when I failed to show my skills, I also heard him laugh when I spoke, maybe I was very sensitive....

Oh.

There are all kinds of bastards in this world.

"He only chose AhHyun to annoy him."

Was there a need to intimidate someone you dislike so cleverly?

It would have been easier to catch him if he had beaten him and treated him like an ordinary bastard.

SeJin, who was listening quietly with a mysterious face beside him, asked softly.

- AhHyun~ At that time you were the top student and he was in second place?

- Eh? I-It wasn't always like that, but...many times?

- Hmmm. Was he ever the best?

- M-maybe?

Keun SeJin smiled.

- Okey~ Aigo, it's okay to be upset. AhHyun-ah, don't worry about it~ It's his fault! It's because he was so envious of you!

- Yeah, Mo-MoonDae told me that too.

AhHyun nodded quite calmly.

- And the co-counselor also said that it wasn't uncommon for me to be in pain even if it wasn't physical....

This is a person who realizes the enormous value of the consultation fee.

- I-I'm-I'm so much better now! I just... I didn't know I'd be seen like this, I think I was just a little surprised because I didn't know he'd be participating...!

- I see! Of course it's possible to have been like this.

As AhHyun spoke, the expression on his face became more comfortable as he gradually made his own decisions and recovered.

But we weren't feeling very well.

- Ah, then I'll go to bed~ Don't worry about that bad guy, AhHyun-ah!

- Yes!

- I need some water.

I followed him out of the room.

Tak

When Keun SeJin arrived in the living room, he said forcefully.

- There will be no evidence of that.

- ...

- I'm a little embarrassed ... I think I would have done the same thing if I irrationally hated someone, but I'm sure he was kind to others. He was definitely like that.

- Go to your room and go to sleep first. I'll think about it.

- ... Okay. You too, go to sleep.

I patted SeJin's shoulder and sat down in the living room.

- Hmm.

Let's calm down and think again.

Chae SeoDam.

He's a pretty crafty guy. A bitch who is good at interpersonal relationships and knows how to control his partners.

At the same time, what's clear from the fact that he targeted Seon AhHyun?

"He is very competitive. He wants to be successful...and he has a strong inferiority complex."

If so, it means that his ego is inflated and his pride is strong.

If he is such a person and considering his situation....

"He has deleted his social media accounts so that there is no evidence from his classmates."

He should also feel proud for having removed all obstacles that could interfere with his future.

This is where an important point to keep in mind comes from.

"When someone is presumptuous, they can make mistakes."

- ...

It's 11 o'clock at night right now. It's usually late, but idols who are active are usually awake at this time.

I made a phone call.

The beep was short, I was answered immediately.

- Good evening.

- Yes? Oh, MoonDae-ssi?

It was Miry-nay's manager's number.

And the person I wanted to talk to... was the young lady who took 1st place in Miry-nay.

What was her name?

- If you don't mind, hmm... could I speak to Jung YulGi-ssi?

- What?

I managed to convince the astonished manager that "this is not a useless phone call for socializing, it's for work purposes", and then I was able to talk to her.

- Hello, sunbae-nim!

- Yes, hello.

- It's nice to hear from you! But what's the matter?

- Do you remember the conversation we had about "Icorpo" a few days ago?

- Ah~ Yes! Of course!

I squeezed the hand I was holding on the phone and asked in a quieter voice.

- You said you saw some bad contestants back then... Were there any popular contestants among them?

- Hul, yes!

Great. We'll start from here.
