Ye
Debut or Die - 379-The team I want to join is Shin JaeHyun's team.-...!I chose CheongRyu's team.Even the coach opens his eyes wide. He seems to have thought that I would choose Jin ChaeYul's team.[Eeeeh? Hyung?]Even this quiet guy who had earlier said, 'I won't interrupt the filming,' showed up.-What?[Oh, it's just... You competed against ChaeYul before, but the atmosphere was good. I thought you would have great success this time as a team.......]Yes, he also imagined the move he would make in his own way.I smiled inwardly.-No.[Hul! Why?]-It's a good idea, but there are many traps.Because my position will become ambiguous.First of all, if I stay with ChaeYul, my opinion will become stronger than his, as if we were competing. I've done it before, I'm older than him and on top of that my ability is superior to his, so he won't be able to help it.If I tried to take care of my image by saying 'I lost, so I'll shut up,' that will also become strange, and if there's no one better than me in this guy's team, then I'll have to take the lead again.'No.'Then there will be a problem with the choice of songs.If we keep the concept light and refreshing like last time, there will be a problem in the CEO's evaluation.'He'll say I'm getting distracted and I can't go on like this.'Or he'll think I'm coping.But what if I quickly change the line to a gloomy concept based on the CEO's assessment? Then the following will happen.-Hmmm, I didn't expect to see something like this.-I understand why he did it, but even though he's being considerate, he seems to be showing his true colors...sorry, it feels cold
TL/N: 'Show true colors' = show true intentions. 'Feeling cold' = doesn't catch the attention / doesn't please.
Obviously, when the third episode airs, there will be enough public opinion to defend me from the CEO's harsh criticism, but they will be disappointed afterwards when I fail to live up to their expectations.No matter what I choose, I will lose the strength I appealed to in the previous team fight.Whether it's consideration or sheer tenacity.[I-I never imagined such a response.......]I have nothing to worry about, though.'It's just that I thought it would be better if there was someone else who could be the leader this time.'And just in time, didn't a leader with decades or hundreds of years proving that he was good at his job come along?I faked an expression on my face showing my wholehearted thanks.-Thank you.-Thank you very much. I look forward to your kind cooperation, hyung.To CheongRyu.'In this round, I will do my best to position myself as the hardest working member of the group.'That will be the best.I shook CheongRyu's hand. He was smiling faintly.'I knew this would happen.'He must have come here after making the same analysis of the situation.I clicked my tongue internally, and outwardly continued to thank him.Of course, cleaning up the mess is also essential.-Did you have anything to say to the representative of the other team who came to see you, GunWoo?Yes, I knew he would try to catch me clueless at this point.I immediately approached Jin ChaeYul before the coach finished speaking. He was nodding his head as if he understood.-Thank you very much for coming.-No...Here I changed the point of the reason why I rejected ChaeYul.-But you don't have to feel guilty or responsible just because I lost. I really did.-...!Jin ChaeYul raised his head.-Because you did very well. I'll do well this time too and go up. Let's do it together again in the next round.I'm considering that he won't make an unreasonable decision due to guilt.'Actually, that's understandable.'Since this guy was from the supplementary class, there must be very few people in his team who knew him, so he must have had a hard time persuading them to have me join them.'Well, if I joined them, there's a good chance that people would talk about my role in that team again.'It would be more convenient for this guy to go on his own. He's got good skills.-Let's have some fun.-...Yes!He sobbed, but then smiled and nodded. I patted him on the back moderately to improve the mood....In fact, he was quite grateful.Even if his mind is a little bright, he has no malice.'Seeing that bastard not saying anything, it means this kid will also debut easily.'I don't think I have to do anything else.Soon another team arrived and picked up the other contestant who had earlier competed against Kim RaeBin, and finished the distribution of extras outside of class.But the camera is still following us.Hmm, better ask a question like this.While walking down the hallway, I asked CheongRyu.-Why did you choose me?-We have the best teamwork when we practice. I wanted to show it.-.......He doesn't even need to pass saliva to his lips to lie... This bastard is very greedy and good at doing bad things.-And since hyung is so good....Indeed, this guy can talk like still water. I answered his words with determination.TL/N: 'Like still/stagnant water' refers to a water well in which water does not flow, that is, nothing affects it. His position is one and nothing and no one will convince him otherwise.-I have to do better. I will not be a nuisance to the team.-I don't doubt it. Oh, and there's one more reason.-...?CheongRyu laughed.-I think you'll like our team too, hyung.-......Hmm, I guess so.I suddenly got a bad feeling, but let's laugh for now.And after a while, I saw all the members of the team that CheongRyu put together.Dalkak.-Ta-da, GunWoo hyung is here.-Thank you. I look forward to your kind cooperation.I knew this would happen, but the first thing I saw when the door opened... is Kim RaeBin.-It's an honor to be together in the team like this! I hope for your kind cooperation!Someone who is a producer and a rapper. It's great.I thought CheongRyu would have chosen him and brought him because he was a good person to use and didn't have any position that overlapped with his.'So far, so good.'Because I thought I should take care of him this round.I turned my head when I heard that CheongRyu found a team member through a mini-game... Yes, there is another VTIC member.-Hello.-Yes, yes.Heum, it's JooDan. It looks like his real name is different, but let's just skip it and nod.The surprising thing is that the last guy who ran like a bullet behind me is also a guy I know.-Hyung! Welcome~ Sit down!...He had brought Cha YooJin.-I like our team! -It's good!-Eeh, yeah.I didn't expect this. I thought CheongRyu would give it up because of the overlapping positions, but it's a very challenging choice.I sat down and checked the final sum.Two main dancers, one main rapper, one lead vocalist....'And with me, the main vocalist, is it complete?'Half VTIC and half TeSTAR.In fact, there are no flaws in terms of skills and positioning. If there are no problems, this round should go smoothly and without too much trouble.I just don't want to fight, but I don't want to lead either... so I can be a mediator.'Very well.'The roles are clearly defined. I nodded.-First, I'll give you a brief explanation of the rules on how we organize our performance, hyung.This round has a simple structure in which two teams that chose the same concept keyword compete. And superiority and inferiority are concluded as a team.Except me.I was told that I will be evaluated separately to see if I will be 'voted out or remain'.And the key word that we get is....-Hmm... it's 'sexy'.-.......They chose something really edgy.CheongRyu smiles as if he regrets it.-It's a bit embarrassing, isn't it? I'm sorry. I'm not good at games.That must have been the case.-No! You did pretty well, but the atmosphere wasn't good in the end. The concept... is interesting!-It is. It's good.-Really? Thank you for saying that.Putting aside this atrocious performance for the program, the concept itself is not bad.It's strong in itself and doesn't match previous performances.'Nice.'In the discussion of the arrangement, I did not lead the public opinion, I casually supported the opinion of CheongRyu, who served as the leader.It was enough to make the opinions of YooJin or RaeBin flow smoothly sometimes.So the direction of the arrangement was quickly outlined as CheongRyu had envisioned. Thanks to this, he said these words faster than he thought.-Then, from now on, we will talk about our parts.This is the main point.-Who wants the high notes for the bridge part?I raised my hand immediately.-I want to do it.-Ah.After that, I asked for every part that has difficult high notes.I'm the only one in the main vocal position, so there's no negative effect even if I'm greedy.'The right answer is to show a little bit of the combative side.'The trick here is to actively challenge the parts that are difficult enough for others to avoid. Just kind of late.It wouldn't be good to go in and ask for everything as if you want to show up on screen longer.I will keep the image that will show everyone what I can do until I reach the limit of my abilities.-GunWoo hyung, won't it be too difficult?-I will try to do it.And I won't deny it. CheongRyu spoke just at the right time so that I could enliven my image.-Then, should we end the distribution of parts like this?-Yes!He even prepared a pretty good part for YooJin. He gave up a part for himself.'Heum.'When the production team checked the filming equipment, I asked CheongRyu in a low voice without a microphone.-It's surprising.I didn't expect him to put Cha YooJin on the equipment and take proper care of him like this.Without even asking what I was referring to, he immediately replied.-It looks good. The two guys who showed a good performance as competitors will be a team this time. don't you think so?-.......Soon, when the death match between the two will be broadcast, Cha YooJin will receive a lot of support.The intention is to block each other's fan viewers before they have a violent reaction against themselves.'He's a thoughtful bastard.'It's a great choice.-It must have seemed like a good choice to you too, hoobae-nim. Well, would you like me to share more details with you right now?-Okay.I held back a sigh.Of course, he briefed me on how this survival program would proceed.But we didn't work out any more detailed joint plans.I recalled the conversation we had at the time.-I don't need more details.-Hmm?-Even if you discuss and plan everything based on your previous knowledge, variables may appear. Both the time and the participants are different.-Right.The guy noticed immediately, smiled and continued with the following words.-So, if we each have different opinions... Hmm, you don't want to give up?It was a matter of routine. This idiot must think his ideas are more effective.-I will do it on my own. If you accept me, I'll do my best.-All right, do your best. You're going to debut anyway, so don't feel pressured.-.......It pisses me off that this fucker thinks it's all in his hands.'It's already done.'Good for him. Then I must try the natural disaster too.After I finished talking to him, I called the next batter and went out to the hallway.-Cha YooJin.-Umm?-Come here for a moment.I took it and we had a brief written conversation.-This time, on the stage...It was a small operation that started like this.Cha YooJin looked at the notebook for a moment and soon shrugged his shoulders.And then he wrote in reply.-I can't.-But if it's for the good of the group.Group.'I assume you're talking about TeSTAR.'I smiled.I get it, bastard.-Great. Then do it just like I wrote here.-Why?Why not? You should create false evidence to present later when the production team asks you after seeing us on the hallway camera.And two days later, the day of the mid-term evaluation arrived.The preparations had been made.My original plan was to make a good impression from here and create an editing point and story.'It... was... supposed to be like this.'But an unexpected situation occurred.Some active idols arrived as special judges for the midterm evaluation.-We invited K-pop stars of this era who are active.-Huuuk.It's a good enough lineup for the trainees to make a fuss.And among them was...-Hi everyone, I'm Lee SeJin from Gyrop!-...!It's a familiar face.To be precise, it's a person with a familiar face, but with an unfamiliar style.It's Keun SeJin.-.......That's right. I found out that he had already debuted when I searched the Internet before. And of course, I expected to meet him when we did activities on TV.But I didn't think I would see his face anymore....Cha YooJin gave me a light pat on the side.-Be careful.-.......Right. We are filming.I focused on acting. It's been too long since I started doing this for a living for an unexpected situation to hit me hard enough.-Huuuk.-That's it!The performance of the first half of the song ended well.And Lee SeJin from Gyrop left this comment.-Waah, looks like they're better than me~ It was awesome.-Thank you very much!-By the way, GunWoo-ssi.What?-I think you'd better be a little less nervous~ I think you've been a little nervous before and after the performance. I don't think you should be like that at all!-......Yes. Thank you very much.Crap.I left the hallway right away during the break.It's something you can do when you're in a place where there are people.[Are you okay??]I'm obviously fine. So.'Colleague, I have to recruit a colleague.'I'll use the damn 50,000 exp of fame I got thanks to the broadcast of the first and second chapter.[Colleague Recruitment][1 time / 10 times]I pressed '10 times' out of nowhere.The light bursts and the list goes by disingenuously.One star, two stars, one star, two stars, two stars, two stars....Familiar names do not appear. The window fills only with names of unknown colleagues....'Fuck.'I gritted my teeth and spun around again.[★][★][★★★][★★]The stars fall endlessly, but none of them was the one I was looking for. Once again, I made them disappear leaving only useless gold.-.......I bit my tongue.Let's get my head working so that I think with a little common sense. After all, even if I choose that guy as a colleague, there's nothing I can do.'He already debuted in a different group.'That means he's the one least likely to join me.'...Is that why I feel more rejection?'To Lee SeJin, who debuted in a completely different group? There is no certification mark to indicate that this is not the reality.-Huuu.I sighed. Now that my head has cooled down, I can see the principles of my actions.-Ha.A chuckle escaped.Good.It would be great if there were more efficient, reckless, and realistic people.'...I don't think it's going out.'Still, I raised my hand with a smile and pressed '10 times' again.It couldn't be that absurd.It was then.[~♪♬♪~]-...!The lights of the aurora burst out of the pop-up image like the night sky, and soon swirl and fluctuate as if escaping the pop-up.... .'This is...'It's a visual effect I've seen before....When I chose Cha YooJin, 5-star.-Ah.However, 4 stars are shining on the screen.[★★★★]For a moment.Soon, a star of a different color flies up and attaches itself to the others. Now there are five in all.And finally... Images and descriptions appear.[AAAH!][★★★★☆ Lee Sejin / Sub vocalist]-.......[※ Colleagues with different colored stars have special abilities!]Special Ability.In the <127 Section> game, it meant skills such as exploration and production, not combat. In other words, skills in fields other than the main stats of the game.So here...I waved my hand.A small pop-up window appeared when I swiped my hand across Lee Sejin's name.[Special skill: Actor]This is... Bae Sejin before he changed his last name.
