Debut or Die

Episode 483

Cha Yoo-jin, who came back, had a most lively day.

It doesn’t mean just playing.

“I practice!”

He checked the choreography, worked out, and even talked directly to the crying manager on the phone.

And after talking to my family in the United States, I started to enjoy racing games with Kim Rae-bin.

“Yeaaah!”

“Wait a minute!”

“left! Press the jump key on the left!”

The members were dragged away by the turbulent momentum.

It was like refining my daily life and filling my bucket list.

He even had a video call with Munge at Bae Se-jin’s home in the middle.

[King!]

“Ooooh. Hi buddy!”

The clump of hair, which had been the size of a fist, had grown to a size that overflowed both hands. It’s still the same as turning the boat over.

‘He still looks fierce.’

On the screen, the white head and tail swayed mercilessly.

“Since we’ve moved, shall we call Kkamgi?”

“I like it!!”

Even the dog at his home in the US was called over via video call, and he was ready to give the members a dog group housewarming.

“… … .”

and… I watched the guy silently.

The interesting thing is that an unexpected guy was caught.

“That’s Moondae. if… Are you sorry?”

“… … ?”

Seon Ah-hyun spoke softly.

“I?”

“Yeah.”

The guy blushed slightly and nodded his head firmly.

“Of course, it’s really nice and relieved that Eugene is back, but… You might regret breaking up again.”

“… … .”

“I think it is natural.”

no so… I was thinking about that point because it was ambiguous.

Anyway, Seon Ah-hyun seems to have been quite concerned about the steer Cha Yu-jin, who just evaporated.

‘I gave a rough explanation.’

That Cha Yoo-jin himself noticed my change and requested that the situation ended.

Still, from the point of view of these guys, it is as if they suddenly disappeared without saying goodbye.

In the morning, I felt relieved and happy that our member Cha Yoo-jin came back safely, but even if I didn’t feel it, I felt slightly embarrassed.

hmm.

“… … okay. thanks.”

“Oh no!”

So maybe we should take out the story.

“Yeeees!!”

“Ugh!!”

I decided to catch the timing while watching Yujin Cha holding a game controller and celebrating victory.

And the timing came not too late.

that evening.

“Oh our Eugene is good~”

“Hee hee!”

Cha Yoo-jin, who had a stormy day, was watching the guitar in Se-jin’s solitary cell.

In other words, the pace that was running as if it was determined was slightly slowed down and released.

I called the guy.

“Yujin.”

“Umm?”

“I have something to talk about with Waterbomb.”

“OK!”

After guiding him to the veranda, I was thinking of slowly trying to figure out his psychology while talking about Waterbomb.

‘If it doesn’t seem like it, I can stop right away.’

say it carefully

But there was nothing to go on there.

… Because Cha Yu-jin opened her mouth as soon as she set foot on the veranda.

straight-forward.

“I remember.”

“… !”

what?

I turned my head.

“Bad Cha Yoo-jin.”

Cha Yu-jin had a calm face.

The boy shrugged and stretched. Then he passed by me, who was stiff, and stood by the veranda window.

“But it is not accurate. [It’s like some kind of vivid dream or… It feels like a memory from my childhood.]”

He squinted one eye slightly, as if trying to remember a word he couldn’t remember.

“However, the emotions felt by ‘that’ Cha Yoo-jin are moving? touching? overwhelming? [Is it harder than you think to find the right expression? Anyway]”

Then, leaning against the chin of the veranda, he turned his gaze toward me.

Just like the steer Cha Yoo-jin of one day.

“I remember that.”

“… … .”

I saw a guy

A positive and clean mindset, an active and friendly side, and the attitude of starting with the facts as if it were cool to drive in.

I am Cha Yoo-jin, a member of this group who debuted as Testa.

However, it didn’t seem like he knew ‘Steer Cha Yu-jin’ simply as knowledge.

therefore… Cha Yu-jin just looked like Cha Yu-jin.

And he said it himself.

“I think I was exhausted. So much.”

“… … .”

[Perhaps Bad Cha Yoo-jin wouldn’t admit it, but it was a kind of burnout. And that’s what anyone can experience when they hit a wall.]

Cha Yoo-jin shrugged cheerfully.

[Even me. That’s why it’s not particularly shocking!]

That’s right.

But in fact, I don’t know if it feels so good to realize that the past self didn’t succeed.

Even though I was really good at the stage, I didn’t get attention because there was no one watching me.

In the end, even knowing that I quit because I was tired of being an idol… I mean.

“… … What do you think.”

“What? What?”

“Just”

the air on the veranda was hot and stuffy on a summer night without air conditioning.

“Overall about this situation.”

“Oh… . Are you worried about me?”

I nodded slightly.

Cha Yoo-jin seemed a bit surprised, but unexpectedly, she bowed her head in earnest.

[I won’t lie. Honestly, I think I was a little confused when I woke up this morning.]

The answer continued calmly.

[At that time, it felt as if I was Bad Cha Yoo-jin and Testa’s memories came back.]

“… !”

[Not long after, I came back to myself. Brother brother is right. It was a bit of a traumatic experience. Five years that were completely unrequited.]

… Was it too

Cha Yu-jin took a short sigh and rested. I calmly accepted his words.

But it didn’t end there.

“But Moondae hyung, I know this.”

The guy raised his hand.

And gently patted my back.

“Time heals everything.”

“… … .”

“So, if Moondae hyung hadn’t come in the past, I would have been on stage again.”

I looked up.

Cha Yoo-jin was smiling.

“Other people are like me.”

no way.

And before I even asked, he made a ‘steer’ with his mouth.

“… !”

[5 years. Not being able to reciprocate is what Cha Yoo-jin thought at the time. Who knows what would have happened after that?]

Cha Yu-jin shrugged, saying that life is long and opportunities keep coming.

[I don’t know. I could have gone back to Korea in a year or two and debuted again with Raebin Kim’s awesome song… Maybe we could have released an album in America.]

That wasn’t talking about great success.

Cha Yoo-jin, who just scattered and returned to the United States with a complete abandonment of idol group activities… .

In the end, I would say that I would not have given up forever.

[We would have continued to do it somehow. Because I loved it so much.]

“… … .”

What comes to mind reflexively is, funny enough, my experience.

my first concert.

– Numerous voices formed a grain and poured from all directions like shooting stars along with lights.

I was out of breath.

I understood what Cha Yu-jin said because I knew what the shock was to my head there.

And I understand what you said next.

[Waterbomb made Bad Cha Yoo-jin realize that early on.]

‘Yes.’

so… After that, he became very cooperative.

[But even if there was no Waterbomb, I would have realized eventually, whether I was running a garage or a surfboard shop in the US? I know myself.]

Cha Yoo-jin spoke with confidence and smiled.

“Because I know him, Moondae-hyung also believes in me. I like that.”

“… … .”

So that’s the story.

I just didn’t see it because Ryu Gun-woo made an extreme choice before, but in fact, Steer would have recovered.

Cha Yu-jin, who has been in the position of the person concerned, spoke without a single doubt.

“Your brother is my fan.”

“… … .”

I am… I don’t know.

Did the steer Cha Yoo-jin, who gave me a high-five, go back to where he lived?

Or did this guy go back to the past steer for a while, just like I regained the memory of Ryu Kun-woo, a former office worker?

So, now, I have regained all my original memories and remember what happened at the time of Steer as I remember things in the distant past.

But one thing is certain.

‘… That Cha Yu-jin eventually became this Cha Yu-jin.’

That is why it is a credible statement.

… … I will think so.

‘therefore.’

That if Ryu Gun-woo hadn’t died and had endured for a few more years, I would have been able to see these guys’ stage again somewhere.

I’ll believe that too.

Whiing.

The wind blew.

I opened my mouth looking out at the night view of the veranda like starlight.

“… okay. thanks for letting me know.”

“Don’t mention it!”

It is a slightly more polite expression than Cha Yu-jin usually uses, saying, ‘Say something special.’

I realized that I was not talking to Park Moon-dae, an older brother I knew, but to Ryu Gun-woo, who cheered me on.

So I quietly nodded and stood with him on the air-conditioned veranda a little longer.

* * *

“So… I have something to say.”

“what.”

“Moondae hyung is my fan.”

“Because it isn’t.”

“that’s right. I do fan service! Then, please cook chicken ribs for me.”

“Why are you trying to get paid for a service?”

“That’s Konglish. Originally, it means getting service money!”

What is it?

After a while, he started to act like the youngest guy on the team, and I came out of the veranda feeling like I was used to having a serious conversation.

‘Chicken ribs.’

Have you been eating too much chicken lately?

But seeing him go back to his room, I have a sudden idea.

‘Oops.’

So I hurriedly asked.

“Come to think of it, you’re Sejin-hyung.”

“Oh.”

Bae Se-jin.

I’m worried about what the guy who regained his memory will think… .

“I don’t know!”

The guy who had already started to lose the details of his memory seemed to only vaguely remember Bae Se-jin’s scandal at the time of his drug arrest.

Besides that.

“But I think there must have been a misunderstanding. [Honestly, that older brother would have enlisted in the military rather than sell drugs?]” “

… … .”

Having seen Bae Se-jin’s desire for legal action over the past few years, his trust (?) was solid.

“You are right.”

“Sure. I am always right.”

“Sometimes I’m wrong.”

“I think it was wrong at that moment. But in the end, yes!”

what

I laughed and hit him.

“okay. Let’s see.”

“Hi-Hi.”

That’s how Cha Yoo-jin really came back completely.

The next day, he received a lot of handmade candy from Sejin Bae and uploaded a post on social media.

Lover, this is Cha Yujin!

I am so sorry that I am late. It won’t hurt anymore. TT

I’m completely healthy now (Emoji wearing sunglasses)

I want to perform again soon. Thank you for your concern. Let’s go find a cooler tiger!

‘The reaction is hot.’

The insanely updated comment and share numbers are very positive. I nodded and ended the call with the company and saw Ryu Cheng-wu approaching.

Now you are ready.

“It’s as planned for the reality show.”

“huh. The conversation is over.”

Yes.

Now that Cha Yoo-jin has returned safely, the perfect timing to shoot the group’s own content reality has truly returned.

“Next week.”

You can go as planned.

“yes.”

I satisfactorily finished my grasp and made up my mind.

All priorities are now over.

‘All that’s left… That’s all I’m dealing with.’

It’s time to take a deep breath and face it.

“… status window.”

belt ring.

Brilliant phrases start appearing on the screen.

[New! Update completion reward]

[New! New function open]

[New! Survey]

… … .

Items flash. It’s more suspicious that it looks very good, like seduction.

So it was time to check carefully.

In the middle, a strange word caught my eye.

[New! Survey]

“… Poll?”

What do you mean?

I rubbed my chin, examining several possibilities.

Of course, one thing is certain.

‘huh. It doesn’t catch.’

don’t want to click I’ll call the big moon and take a look at the inside. And no risk whatsoever?

‘Hurry up and leave the room.’

Let’s quickly cancel this damn system.

‘big… .’

That was the moment.

Giying-

“… … .”

The smartphone rang.

it’s text

‘hmm.’

I opened it to see if it was a call from the company… .

-VTIC Cheong Ryeo senior: Junior. Are you not interested in featuring?

“… … .”

for a moment.

Even if you read it again, the sender and the contents are correct.

‘what?’

It was the beginning of an offer I had never imagined.
