Chapter 316

I don't know what happened in the last year for an autographed poster from a rival in the same industry to be in this house.

And it's not from just any guy, but CheongRyu.

'Isn't it around this time that bastard was hitting me over the head with a hammer?'

How did I end up getting the poster autographed by the reboot syndrome bastard?

I don't think this guy would throw down money to attend a fansign just because he won the lottery.

TL/N: Fansigns are usually held during promotions of a new album or concerts, but capacity is limited, so attendance passes are raffled off among purchases of albums or other products that are associated with the group for special advertising campaigns. It is common for wealthy fans to buy excessive amounts of such products to win a fansign ticket, but GunWoo doubts that MoonDae did the same even though he is now wealthy because they won the lottery.

Indeed, there was another reason.

"Ah, I bought clothes and got a prize!"

Since he suddenly lives in my original body, no matter how disinterested he is in clothes, he seems to have made a big purchase to survive because he could afford it.

Especially the winter clothes...It's perfect weather to freeze to death if you don't wear a coat, so he said he bought coats and quilts all at once during the sale period.

"I don't know much about clothes...I just bought what one store recommended..."

Coincidentally, the store happened to be an outdoor clothing brand advertised by VTIC.

And ended up winning in the drawing for tickets to the fansign of the brand's advertising models when he applied the tickets to his purchases for fun.

"..."

I'd rather it had been in one of the TeSTAR ads...No, then it would have been too weird and twisted.

'Why did you apply for a ticket to a male idol fansign in the first place...?'

"The concert we went to see last time was great...and since you're an idol, I'm really interested now. Also, some people were on the variety show with you, hyung..."

"..."

It was my fault. I see.

I looked away from the poster feeling uncomfortable. It seems like he's studying properly, so it shouldn't matter too much.

"When did you go?"

"I went yesterday!"

It looks like it was to commemorate the end of the first test like last time.

Since another one-year grace period is given anyway, it was understandable because I told him not to be too conscious of the second assessment and just concentrate on the first one.

And indeed, it seems that the new status abnormality is similar to the first one where he was required to avoid failing the first assessment.

[Status abnormality: Pass or die! (3)]

"If you don't receive an error-free score report on the second written test of the 'Grade 7 Competitive Recruitment Exam', you will die," yes, I knew that would be the case.

So, next year, all you have to do is pass the first assessment and avoid failing the second. And since I know the content of the exams until next year, there won't be any problem.

I tried to explain, but this guy mentioned something unexpected.

"Actually...I've seen what the second evaluation is like and based on the score I got on the practice exam...I don't think I'm going to fail!"

"...!"

"I was so lucky to get so many questions right! I didn't think I could do it, but...!"

Still, it was an incredible achievement.

"That's enough. Good job."

"Yes! Thank you very much!"

Then you can eat the new status anomaly raw within a month. I did my calculations and nodded.

"Still, don't eliminate it right away, make sure you wait until just before the second exam comes out next year. Set aside some time off."

"Okay!"

TL/N: "Eating raw" means you don't need any more preparation, you're ready to face the challenge and win it. What GunWoo is referring to is not accepting the timing message that appears as a reward to MoonDae when he manages to overcome the abnormality and allows the two of them to meet for a day.

So, more or less...I'll be back in September next year?

I checked the current date on my phone. September it certainly will be. I filled it out with "return to this body after a year." I will return satisfied to this body after one year.

"You told me to wait this time too, so I restrained myself and took as much time as possible...!"

"You did very well."

The voice sounded like it was bouncing back and forth. He's probably smiling.

'Then I don't have anything special to do today.'

I thought I could spend time finding out more incidents that happened in this past year other than the autograph he received from that guy.

I continued talking to "Park MoonDae" while accessing the stock app and selecting which ones to sell.

"How about the internship?"

"I like it! The people are nice...They taught me well, so I've been doing well. And the food is delicious...!"

Good. After selling and buying stocks several times, I closed the application.

'At this rate, if you study without thinking about anything else, you won't have money problems.'

And as soon as I went out into the living room while listening to the voice talking about his daily life for a year, I saw something very surprising.

"..."

A flower head.

The hologram character I made when I was on "The Singer I Made," the "Groom of May," is sitting in the center of the couch.

"What?"

He...looks like he's been watching the incredible performance of his body.

"Did you buy this too?"

"Hyung, you sang very well...I thought one would be nice as a souvenir..."

"I was the one who made the rule of relieving stress every month, so it shouldn't matter as long as it's something he likes..."

Feeling a little uncomfortable, I pushed the doll away and sat down on the couch.

And the voice carefully brought up the main topic it seemed to be waiting to say.

"Uh, after the second evaluation...Is it okay for me to go to the end-of-year TeSTAR concert? I couldn't go to the one earlier this year because I was studying."

I think I've been preparing that sentence since yesterday.

I smiled.

"Why are you asking for permission? If you think it's okay to go, then you can go."

"Yes! Yes! Thank you!"

There's nothing to be thankful for. Of course, going to a male idol group concert with my body is a bit flashy...Wait.

"About the fansign."

"...??"

"...Did you say it was yesterday?"

"Yes!"

I looked at VTIC's autographed poster again.

Even if it wasn't an album fansign, there are quite a few people who aren't fans who go to fansigns...I think he might have gotten their attention.

"He was very nice."

That's more ominous.

I logged onto WeTube and put in a search word just in case.

Combining the date, the name of the activity, and the name of the clothing brand...As I expected, I found a video uploaded of the fansign.

As I scrolled through the comments, I came across what I was worried about.

- 22:34 CheongRyu responding to his male fan is funny hahahahaha

"..."

When I clicked on the corresponding time, part of the back of "Ryu GunWoo," who was receiving an autograph, was seen, although the video looked somewhat dark.

The voice echoed as if he was shouting.

"HUUUK! I-I didn't know I would look like this..."

I took a screenshot and corrected the color.

"Hyung?"

He was wearing a cap, and probably glasses too...

Isn't this the same as the description I gave him of Ryu GunWoo?

'Damn.'

In case I didn't know, I checked the poster I had signed once again.

I wanted to see the name of the recipient.

'It could be Ryu GunWoo...'

To. KeunDal

TL/N: "큰달" (KeunDal) means "big moon" or "full moon".

"..."

KeunDal?

"That, I used that nickname before...I was sorry to receive it using your name, hyung."

He made a good judgment.

'Huu.'

I quickly pulled up the video of CheongRyu from the screen, who smiled and signed his autograph.

"From now on avoid that guy."

"C-CheongRyu?"

"Yes, because he's crazy."

"Euhop."

I gave him a clue to find Ryu GunWoo's whereabouts, but it doesn't matter as long as he doesn't know the number and current address where he is.

No need to increase the variable knowing such an unpredictable and dangerous bastard.

'Come to think of it, the reason I didn't know the whereabouts was because I put this guy in a boarding school academy.'

Now it made sense. I rubbed my chin.

'So, when I finish this and get back, I'll call that guy...'

No. I think I'm misunderstanding something.

'...How do I know if that's going to happen?'

I don't know what's going to happen when this guy's state abnormality ends.

Worst case scenario, he could disappear saying the bounty is over.

And even if he remains in this body? Wouldn't he like to return to his own body?

Take a look at how he got his autograph with his old nickname.

"..."

"I thought you were close to CheongRyu-ssi, but I didn't know it was strange...uh, hyung?"

"We're not close. We seem close only for the broadcast."

"Ah..."

That's a bit...He'll have to think about it.

I'm glad he has some free time today. I can think about it as much as I want.

I started preparing a meal while setting up some hypotheses and countermeasures.

After that, there was nothing particularly urgent that needed to be done.

"Hyung, you're good at cooking too..."

"Yes, thank you."

Since we shared our senses, it was comfortable to make a single serving.

On TV during prime time in the evening, there was an entertainment program that I appeared on with Seon AhHyun. It was about solving problems related to the Joseon Dynasty.

'Was this the time when I looked for the spy inside the company?'

I lived very hard. I looked at my pretentious self with little emotion.

"Variety programs are good, but I think you are cooler when you are on stage. "Haengcha" was really great! I hope you'll make a comeback soon..."

I announced my stats openly, but why do you say that when you look at your face...?

TL/N: If it's not understood, it's that he just proved to the whole public that even though he didn't finish high school, "Park MoonDae" is too smart and a good person, thus raising his self-image, that doesn't seem to matter to the original MoonDae and rather seems to admire GunWoo who uses his own body and name.

But the praise is still a compliment and I don't feel bad. I replied lightly.

"The comeback will be on the 14th of next month."

"Huk...!"

"Don't go talking."

"Yes! I have no one to talk to!! At the academy, no one talks about idols!!!"

He said something obvious.

The voice fluctuated excitedly with unfamiliar waves but soon began to murmur softly as if it had calmed down.

He sounded a bit cautious.

"Uh, hyung, every time you come I always get your help...Is there anything I can do to help you? Well, just like you called the police station last time...If you have anything I can do, I'll do it!"

Anything he can do?

Hmm, come to think of it, CheongRyu will try to kill me next month.

I pondered for a moment but soon shook my head.

It's something I handled pretty well. I can't get another person who needs to worry about their status abnormality to do anything else.

"There's nothing else. Just study hard."

"Okay..."

He sounded depressed. Oh, boy.

And as midnight approached, it sounded worse. The voice sounded almost disturbing.

'Even though you didn't say it, I guess you had a hard time going through a year alone.'

There was no one to talk about the whole situation openly, so it was understandable. Maybe I needed something to do or think about instead of studying.

So I brought up a new topic when I went to bed.

"Is there anything else you want to tell me?"

"Me?"

Yes.

The voice seemed to waver but soon sounded quiet again.

"So, hyung, how...did you feel when you saw my nickname?"

"Your nickname?"

"KeunDal." I know it's a nickname derived from your real name "MoonDae", but it's not a unique word. It seems quite familiar...

"Uh...hyung, you used to have an account, remember? I used to leave comments often there."

Ah.

"Was that you?"

"...! Do you remember?"

"Yes. You always commented on a lot of things."

"Yeah...!!"

Come to think of it, that was the nickname I saw in the first "Truth Check".

I actually didn't read the comments much, but I remember seeing KeunDal almost as soon as I uploaded the videos.

That's how we made "match".

'Were you interested in idol performances since then?'

It's peculiar for me to realize that we knew each other from before when we have faces like this now. I shrugged my shoulders.

TL/N: "매치" (Maechi), I prefer to leave it in English (it was written the word in English but in Hangul) because it can mean "match", "find", or "fit". He finds it funny that he only just found out that they were "destined to meet and be one" after they both swapped bodies and now he can go back to his original body for a day.

"If you are interested in that field, I think you can buy a camera and take pictures."

"...I-is that so?"

"Of course, after we finish this evaluation."

"Right! Still...waah."

I don't know if it feels any better, but the voice sounds a little more comfortable.

And so, the time has come.

"Okay, then think about it. See you next year."

"Yeah..."

Sleep came slowly. It was pretty quiet.

* * *

"Hyung...?! Hyung?!"

I opened my eyes.

It's morning, just like last time. The temperature seems to be similar, so maybe it's September next year?

"You're GunWoo hyung, right? Hyung!!??"

"Yes."

I think he's panicking, did he call me because he had a problem?

I got up immediately. But first, the voice rang out non-stop.

...It sounds like he's crying.

"Hyung, hyung, the car accident..."

Oh.

'Fuck.'

I opened the phone quickly.

June 22nd

Four days after the debut anniversary.

That's when I went into a coma because of the crazy bastard ex-manager.
