Ye

Debut or Die - 371

Cha YooJin.

A center with the attribute 'Black Hole (S)'.

With a crazy combination of conditions optimized for idols, from skill to mentality, and has three 'A's in his stats at such a young age. He won't even take a break from his activities because he won't be going to the military.

TL/N: Idols of other nationalities are exempt from military service. According to the changes in the Military Service law made on June 6, 2021, The only possibility for Cha YooJin to do so would be if he had taken out a dual nationality, but if he didn't do so before he turned 18 (minimum age to enlist in military service), but from what GunWoo just thought, he didn't.

No wonder the system gave this guy five stars.

But...as for the other conditions.....

[C-Cha YooJin doesn't know anything, does he?]

-Yes, he doesn't know.

That guy... I've changed bodies, gone back to the past and now I have a status window, but he doesn't know anything about it.

And he's the kind of guy that would be the hardest to explain it to properly.

-OK. So you and I knew each other originally, but you went back in time and became a different person?

-Should I call 911?

'I'm ruined.'

I rubbed my face silently.

But the status window was flashing very excitedly.

[Would you like to welcome him?]

-Yes.

Hell, yeah. There's no way I'm not going to pick it.

[First recruitment]

<Colleagues awake> has been unlocked!

→Go

Another new tab opened.

I got that pop-up window right away. This time, instead of a banner, it popped up something like a list of game friends.......

[Colleagues awake]

Shin Jae-Hyun: During today's training (*^^*).

Cha YooJin: Sleeping deeply (ㅡpㅡ)zZ

-.......

I see pixel images of each of them that appear to be emoticons. It looks like... a deteriorated version of <127 Section> has been implemented.

It's a bit ridiculous, but it might not be bad for lookup purposes. It's a bit awkward though

...It's good to see Cha YooJin's name after a long time. Anyway, it looks like everyone else is here too.

-Huu.

I sighed and checked the remaining experience points. It's 2000.

'I don't think failures won't happen when leveling up.'

Isn't that something that wasn't done in the main game of <127 Section>? Of course, it failed at the time when the star rating system was introduced.

'If you think of it as a booster, there is a chance to fail.'

And if I fail, the points will disappear.

-Isn't there a table of probabilities?

The percentage of failures, the percentage of getting five stars.

Shouldn't I at least know the expected value and calculate it?

[Wait a minute!]

KeunDal's pop-up window, which disappeared in a hurry, reappeared after a while as if it was crawling.

[Something like that... there isn't.]

-.......

My low expectations... were shattered.

Well, first of all, there was nothing like that in the peer recruitment window.

I can't even get mad anymore. I was the only one who expected business morality in this crazy bullshit game system. I held my breath as I stared at the ceiling of the room.

Then I noticed a mail symbol in the top corner of the status window.

'Wait.'

What's that going to notify me?

I clicked on it.

[You have received rewards for failures.....]

+ 10G

+ 10G

-.......

By the way, there is no gold tab in this status window.

That is, it is a false reward. It must have happened in the process of overwriting the existing 127 Section interface.

'You're filling me with gold in text, you fucking bastard...'

I averted my eyes because I thought my blood vessels would explode if I continued to watch that. And back to the point.

Let's wake up the collegue!

[Would you like to wake up the 'Cha YooJin' colleague?]

→Use 1000 Exp

Okay.

I pressed 'Okey'.

Then, an unusual light shines on Cha Yu-jin's dotted image.

[Jumping into flight...]

TL/N: '비상을 향한 도약' (Jumping into flight) is to jump and see which of the two probabilities (failing and falling to the ground or succeeding and flying) you get.

And a few seconds later.

A fanfare sounds with Cha YooJin's lyrics.

[First successful awakening!]

Good.

I clenched my fists. It's not from the excitement of success.

'Then what's going to happen?'

I need to verify how valid the explanation I've given so far is, but having summoned them as colleagues, I have no more realistic words than these emojis.

'What am I supposed to do with a colleague?'

In that instant.

Another pop-up appeared.

[<Communication>has been unblocked!]

-...!

I don't think it's possible to have a conversation with a colleague through the status window like I do with KeunDal.......

[Contact number...]

Cha YooJin: 858-XXX-XXXXXX

-.......

It's giving me a real number.

No, looking closely... This even has a US area code.

San Diego, California, United States.

'Damn it.'

I hit the bed.

Cha YooJin is in the United States.

Is that why he was sleeping?!

* * *

Cha YooJin had a dream.

In his dream, he left his hometown and took a job in a foreign country where his lineage came from.

-Take your STAR. Hi everyone, we are TeSTAR!

He was a KPOP idol!

It was a job he had never imagined he would ever do in his life.

Everything was decided in an instant from the moment he accepted the sudden offer made to him by a trainee scout after he finished his semester of studies.

There was only one reason.

It was fun!

And he finally made his debut with a good group....

-YooJin is the best at this kind of thing.

With good members.

Things didn't always go well, but every moment ended with good results.

Exciting... and extremely dynamic, that was his life!

At that moment, he realized.

'This is not a dream.'

Cha YooJin opened his eyes.

And at that moment, he realized that he remembered the past, it wasn't a dream.

-Huuuu.

It was 6 o'clock in the morning.

He reached out and dismissed the alarm that had not yet sounded.

Then he went out to the kitchen, drank some water and reflected on what had happened.

'Ah.'

His hair, which was not dyed, made him feel uncomfortable. So...

Who is it?

'Cha YooJin, 23 years old, a member of KPOP group TeSTAR.'

However, Cha YooJin's body is currently experiencing a completely different situation. She went to a local high school and was on a soccer team....

He didn't know much about KPOP. Until yesterday.

'Wait, was that really yesterday?'

He couldn't figure out what the situation was. Apparently, he was on vacation after a long time and went to a friend's house to play together?

Is this really a dream?

He brought his hand to his face without hesitation.

Pok.

-Ouch.

It hurt terribly.

He reproached his judgment of having punched himself in the face, and understood why.

This was because, if he was going to go on stage, he was not supposed to hurt his face.

-Hmm.

He put down the glass and shrugged.

'I'm an idol.'

It was right to start from there.

All the knowledge, information and advice he remembered wasn't fake. It was a sophisticated and real experience that no lunatic could make up.

'On the contrary, I think this is more suspicious.'

He rubbed his chin. Isn't life at this local high school too simple to be his own life?

No different than when he was in high school.

'Anyway.'

First of all, he could text the other members' numbers...

'......I don't know.'

Well, who in the world memorizes other people's numbers these days?

He shrugged and tried to think of his next course of action. But before that, an alarm went off on his phone.

Ding dong.

It was a message from a Facelook account.

It was all written in Korean.

-Apple: Hello

-Apple: This is Park MoonDae. If you remember me, please reply

It was a familiar way of speaking.

-Oh my god.

Cha YooJin laughed.

How could that person always appear at the perfect time?

He tapped the screen with the fingers of one hand.

-I'm in the USA lol

-I'm going to Korea tomorrow!

Anyway, it seemed that the same thing that had originally happened would happen if he spent all his savings on the plane ticket. Cha YooJin laughed.

* * *

-So you are expecting the former member to enter the country now from the United States?

-Yes.

I nodded.

I'm not too happy with the expression 'former member', but I shouldn't be abrupt with the guy who followed me to the airport.

-It's a unique variable that memories of the past can randomly come back. I don't know if you should use it.

CheongRyu is manipulating something with his phone with a bored face. That bastard seems to be acting completely assuming that this is reality.

'...I understand.'

It must have been like this more than once.

I'm going to talk to this guy... I was about to mention his dog, but I stopped myself.

'I need to find a solution to go back before I talk about it.'

Even if I tried now, wouldn't I end up freaking out more? I held my breath and held up a sign.

[Welcome, Cha YooJin from TeSTAR]

...It's embarrassing, but I can't help it because my face is different from before..

'But I was lucky that I was able to find your Facelook account using your phone number.'

And fortunately, not long after holding this, a guy comes running out the door excitedly.

He's wearing a sweater like a ski suit and dragging his suitcase with one hand.

-Hyung!

He was an ordinary Cha YooJin.

I was speechless for a moment, and with a strange feeling.... Wait, how old is he?

Cha YooJin, who is very young, stopped in the middle and frowned.

-MoonDae hyung?

-Yes, it's me.

Calm down.

No matter how old this little boy is, I must first explain to him why my body is different.

But before I could open my mouth, he did.

-You look like MoonDae hyung, but you're a different person. Have you ever had plastic surgery?

-...Something like this.

-Ooou...

-Kujum.

I could hear CheongRyu's bastard cracking up laughing. I pressed between my eyebrows and muttered.

-Anyway... I'll give you the code to our apartment, so try anything first.

-I don't need it. You're right!

-......Really?

-Yes. Only MoonDae hyung says that among us.

Cha YooJin smiled brightly.

-I know. So please explain!

-......Yes.

I left the airport with a guy who used to mix expressions on the way and looked a bit younger than he was in <Icorpo>.

And in a game room in Seoul.

TL/N: '게임방' (Game room), they are usually like internet cafes with multiple computers suitable for running games; however, there are also some businesses that have private rooms with sofas, a set number of pc's and even a minibar for group gatherings who also want to play games. Being a private environment, GunWoo must have rented one of these rooms so that they could talk without raising any suspicion.

-...That's how it happened.

I managed to finish the explanation of the meaningless situation in a long hour.

I broke out in a cold sweat.

'There's no point in me being ashamed to tell it even though I gave only a summary...'

I covered my twitching mouth by drinking coffee. I couldn't even guess what Cha YooJin would answer.

However, the boy nodded gently shaking his head.

-It's like a multiverse, a parallel dimension, right?

-......??

Cha YooJin... understands this?

Does he even know those terms?

He shrugged his shoulders.

-Plus, the alien mind parasite... You know, it's like the Limestone movies. I know about that.

At the same time, he seems to have thought I like stupid things like that, but I'm thankful he agrees. I can't believe I owe it to Limestone.

Of course, it's possible because the evidence is now skin-deep.

Because his life has changed.

-Anyway, somehow I didn't feel like this was my reality.

Cha YooJin, who said 'I found all the memories', shook his head while taking a drink of hot chocolate.

-I was so bored. It was like, like you played a videotape over and over again?

I see.

-And I can't be a quarterback candidate that easily. It's more for those who are 6.3 ft in the world.

Cha YooJin complained that a 6-foot guy like him needed better odds and mountains to overcome if he wanted to succeed.

TL/N: Cha YooJin is officially 182 cm (5'11'') tall. In fact, 6 feet equals 5 feet 11 inches, but measuring only in feet we will have 5.97 feet, so globally it's rounded up to '6 feet'. It is true that 6'3 is the prototypical height of a quarterback.

I agreed.

-I feel like you set the conditions as you pleased, it's not even the right age....

-That's true, isn't it, sunbae-nim? Sunbae, no, sunbae-nim originally was much older than he is now.

Cha YooJin pointed at CheongRyu rather politely.

-.......

He... has lived much longer than he thinks.

Anyway, the named CheongRyu is processing something with his phone without much agitation.

-Are you busy?

-A little bit. We should adjust our debut schedule soon.

Adjust the schedule...?

Then Cha YooJin suddenly intervened.

-Debut?

-It seems like I'll be able to return other members' memories only when I become famous. I guess it's like a game experience.

-Hmmm...

Cha YooJin's face instantly showed a confused expression, but he soon understood.

-OK, I understand.

What?

-I'll be debuting too!

Cha YooJin smiled.

-With me, the group will become famous faster!

-...!

It was an arrogant and confident comment, but I couldn't refute it.

-And let's be TeSTAR again soon! Let's find everyone and do something!

-...What?

YooJin smiled again.

-Let's do whatever it takes! We need to find our way back, like TeSTAR!

This lad...

It got to the point where the 17 year old was now feeling pretty confident.

But it seems the other guy wasn't.

-Hmm.

CheongRyu looked Cha YooJin up and down and said nothing for a moment as if he was estimating cattle, but concluded briefly.

-You can't do that.

-...!

But Cha YooJin didn't feel the blow.

-Everyone has a chance to challenge. That group hasn't debuted yet. So it's not yours.

He's trying to beat it with facts.

Although CheongRyu didn't feel the blow either.

-There seems to be a misunderstanding.

CheongRyu smiled.

-It's not me, but the company that won't accept YooJin-ssi.

-...!?

And he spoke as if giving a death sentence.

-Because that is not LeTi's preferred appearance.

-.......

-.......

I just remembered the debut group, ShinOh, JooDan and CheongRyu. And finally, I thought about my current appearance.

...We all convey a dark and cool feeling.

And finally, I saw 17-year-old Cha YooJin sitting in front of me.

His eyes are about to burst.

Hmm.

Certainly...if he were to enter the group, he would feel a little out of place.

-But I'm really good, aren't I?

-Well, even if you ask me... I'm not the owner of the company.

CheongRyu smiled brightly.

-It's like you said.

Oh, this bastard is upset.

Honestly, with Cha YooJin's ability, even if he doesn't debut right away, the agency will somehow keep him if they notice him.

'LeTi is like that.'

But seeing that a guy who knows that very well, does this, then it means that he himself is going to take him out of the lineup.

Cha Yoo-jin looked straight at CheongRyu and soon nodded unrepentantly.

-OK. Then come here, hyung. Find a new agency with me!

-Wait.

It's not like the agency is taking a trainee every quarter, and if they do, it's hard to know when a group might debut again.

'I'm going crazy.'

I pressed the center of my forehead. Cheong-ryu spoke with a smile on his face.

-If you say so.

Cha YooJin looked at CheongRyu for a moment without saying a word and then opened his mouth quite seriously.

-I don't know why you're so hostile, but don't you want to go back? Your group already exists. Don't you miss it?

-.......

Either one of you should shut your mouths.

-We can find a way to get back together, but I don't know why you don't do it.

CheongRyu looked at Cha YooJin expressionlessly. He was ready to leave if necessary at the last moment.

'Now... he's digging around an unexploded bomb with an iron shovel.'

But after a while, the words that came out of his mouth were refreshing.

-Really?

-...!

-That's right. Come to think of it.... I wonder if I was being too complacent.

CheongRyu twisted his mouth.

-It's not even a mission, haha!

Oh, shit.......

Just as I was about to get up from my seat, CheongRyu stopped laughing.

-So let's go to the logic of survival of the fittest.

What?

CheongRyu laughed.

-Thinking about it, I've never said this before? Do you know how many people were in my group?

Five people.

But that didn't seem to be what this guy meant.

This guy has never talked... about the first VTIC.

-Nine people.

-...!!

-That's a lot, isn't it? Haha. It's a composition that includes two more members of the debut group that had only seven... Where do you think those two suddenly appeared from?

-.......

Why at the last minute... did you make changes in the group?

'They made a decision considering the timing.'

I reflexively blurted out the answer.

-A survival program.

-That's right.

CheongRyu picked up his phone again.

-LeTi collaborated with Tnet... Originally there was an internal survival program at the agency.

It helped form a fandom in the beginning, but idol survival was more stimulating, so it wasn't much support for us when TeSTAR was already active.

But it's still in vogue at this point.

-Although people's minds are very hard to control, aren't they? The more unspecific the number of people, the more variables we see.

CheongRyu's eyes narrowed.

-So, as of some point, I just canceled it?

He put down his phone and spoke lightly.

-I'll let it go just this once.

-......!

-Whoever, only those who survive there will debut.

-That's...

-That's reasonable, isn't it? Efficient.

I swallowed my saliva. It's fucking right.

-The winner of the internal survival program should debut.

At first glance, CheongRyu's words sound like freedom to give up influence over the group. Because he wants to debut with whoever survives.

But it is not true.

'The influence he exerts over his agency is ridiculous.'

I don't know if he's using it because he's holding on to his weakness or remembering the butterfly effect, or I don't know if he's doing both. I was sure of one thing, though.

How could this guy let the flow of survival pass him by?

'First of all, that's crazy.'

I'm sure that guy must have already seen the result if he lets the survival program through.

'Obviously he must have his candidates.'

And this time, this guy will conform all the nominees. This guy will pick the best ones for VTIC... To the point where I will replace the lead vocalist.

Bottom line... That's just a statement of 'I'll make you X before your debut'.

'Fuck.'

I opened my mouth in a hurry.
