If I Fail to Debut, I’ll Get a Killer Disease

Seon Ahyun took the balls from Park Moondae with a frozen face.

Immediately after, his interview was put in.

[Seon Ahyun: A-Actually I-I am not good with instant food… I can’t eat it.]

And like a flashback, a video taken with a fixed camera was briefly broadcasted.

The figure of Seon Ahyun, who had his head down on bed because he was not feeling well, was faintly seen from the light of the thin bathroom.

[Park Moondae: Are you okay?]
[Seon Ahyun: I-It’s okay……]
[Park Moondae: Wait a minute.]

Park Moondae left the dormitory.

And after a while.

[Participant at Park Moondae brought a digestive medicine]

He reappeared with subtitles.

In fact, this happened during the initial evaluation.

At that time, Park Moondae was in an active state of ‘sleeping is dying’, so he did not sleep at night and had plenty of time.

Thanks to this, I was only able to afford to respond to Seon Ahyun’s conscience and return the chocolate he had given.

For reference, Park Moondae had completely forgotten about this when preparing for the PR broadcast.

Seon Ahyun, who was not aware of that, said in an interview with a sorry and grateful expression.

[Seon Ahyun:H-He might have been afraid that I wouldn’t be able to eat… so he changed it.]
[Seon Ahyun: T-Thank you, Moondae-ya.]
[Park Moondae: (Nodding his head)]

Of course, Park Moondae’s cut was from an interview that had nothing to do with this.

But on the surface, it looked quite warm.

– I couldn’t have imagined such a development

– What the, the chicken feet was actually good

– Is he actually shy?

– I’m starting to warm up to Moondae Haha

The general audience was like this, so the fans added.

– Moondae is easy to misunderstand because he doesn’t do any tricks, but in fact he is the type to take a good care of the ones around him

– Our puppy is… He was a real puppy

– Moondae Gosh you pushover* ㅠㅠ No, you did good choosing the chicken feet, but you still gave him everything you own ㅠㅠ
(* –  Korean word used here is a slang for a foolish person that everyone uses for their own benefits) 

-The flower crown was chosen by Moondae

– Moon Puppy is so sweet

Of course, Park Moondae’s home master was also happy with the favorable editing and reaction, but she was also a little anxious.

‘What if someone sells personality?’

The personality appeal was just right for a headwind.

This was especially the case towards the second half of the program.

They would pull a participant down to make room for their participant.

Personality appeal could be destroyed with just someone reporting minor immoral behavior from school days.

And some of the other participants already had their graduation photos uploaded.

‘Come to think of it, a lot of stuff is unknown about Moondae.’

Was it because he was such a quiet student?

Perhaps he was from a foreign country or the countryside. She imagined Park Moondae sitting on the pavilion on top of a rice paddy, wearing a straw hat and with an indifferent expression.

‘It suits him……!’

Originally, in the early days of becoming a fan, there was a symptom where it felt like a painting no matter where she imagined him.

In the meantime, various participants were being shown preparing for their PR live in the broadcast.

From Kim Ra-bin, who picked an electric piano and did the theme song for Idol Joint-Stock Company, to Keun Sejin, who promoted sneakers and performed random play dance for an idol hit song.

There were a lot of pretty funny scenes.

Focusing on some of the top participants, it briefly highlighted the circumstances of the players who could not find a ball at all.

[For those who do not have a collaboration item, It’s our program! Please promote〈Relisted! Idol Joint-Stock Company〉!]

Of course, most of them did not make it to the top 33 and barely managed to continue the broadcast for 10 minutes.

There was no way it would be fun to have a dozen people running the same boring content at the same time.

And they briefly shed light to the participants who promoted unusual collaboration items, and of course, Park Moondae came out here.

The scene where Park Moondae sets down the chicken feet and sits was even properly subtitled.

[Park Moondae (Chicken feet lover) A.K.A Mukbang Star]

[Cha Yujin: It was really great]

Cha Yujin’s, who watched with his mouth open, passed briefly.

Her timeline was once again covered with the word ‘cute’. She also included her own writings.

– Moondae is so cute, sprinkle chicken feet ㅠㅠ

The PR broadcast preparation process ended mostly warmly, as if the live had ended well.

It was as if the events of some participants accidentally exposing the secrets of other participants or talking about sensitive issues that occurred during filming had never happened.

Even though they were harassed on the Internet and the two of them left voluntarily.

As long as the program was on track for popularity, there was no need to recreate the controversy of the participants in the main broadcast.

Since they had already guessed that it would, the majority of viewers were sarcastic or criticized once or twice before focusing on what’s next.

It was the long-awaited announcement ceremony for each team’s individual competition.

[Everyone! Do you remember the reward for the first place in the individual voting for the first team match?]
[Ah……]
[1st ranking announcement ceremony, these people passed!]

On the screen, several participants who were muttering, ‘I wish I could be you’ could be seen.

And after the MC cut off the time by adding useless words with flamboyant skill, each team called out a winner.

Of course, most of the participants tried to pretend they were celebrating.

[Wow]
[Congratulations!]

In particular, Ryu Chungwoo’s team members, who were portrayed as controversial, tried to not look bad at all when Ryu Chungwoo’s 1st place was announced.

However, in the broadcast, it was put in a strange atmosphere again.

[……]
[……Ah.]
[Congratulations.]
[Yes, thank you. You’ve been through a lot… Sorry.]
[…no. What.]

‘It’s too bad because it’s like that.’

As she became accustomed to this pattern, she was rather displeased with the editing.

Perhaps the bone marrow survival viewers felt similar emotions.

Of course, Park Moondae’s team ‘October 31’ also announced the 1st place for the individual competition.

[October 31’s 1st place is…… Congratulations! Participant Seon Ahyun!]

[……!]

The team members of October 31 surrounded Seon Ahyun, who was startled.

[Ooooh!!]
[I knew Ahyun would do this~]
[Congratulations!]
[You worked hard.]
[T-Thank you……]

It was an appropriately and harmonious show.

‘Thank God!’

She was relieved, but a little sad.

‘I thought Moondae might have gotten it.’

She knew that there was no real merit to accepting that, and she knew that he would only get attacked for nothing, but it was just a shame.

A similar sign appeared on her SNS timeline.

– Congratulations, Ahyun-ah~

– It’s a little sad, but I liked the warm response from Moondae

– Blonde Moondae appeared for long! Ahh ㅠㅠ I’m so happy

– Everyone did well, so no matter who received it, it isn’t strange ㅠㅠ

– Moon Puppy, you did a good job~

Perhaps if she did a more blatant search…… She might be able to find this kind of reaction quickly.

– He had to get help arranging and mental help, but Seon Ahyun eats raw* everyday haha, ah humanity is destroyed~
(*Eating raw is basically eating without effort)

Of course, there were some malicious individual fans.

Fortunately, thanks to Moondae’s new visual while he congratulated on the screen, the topic quickly changed.

She quickly took a close-up shot of Moondae and uploaded it.

– I don’t know who did it, but thank you so much for the blonde Moondae… (Screenshot)

In the broadcast, the MC was also making a meaningful sound.

[By the way, what would happen if a participant who originally failed passed?]

[…Huh!]
[Oh, maybe.]
[Everyone, the participant with the lowest score will be eliminated!]

For reference, she was not interested at all while watching.

‘Please don’t call Moondae quickly…!’

She was just nervous, hoping that Park Moondae would be called in the second half.

[Then we will announce the 47th participant.]

She was thinking of making a sales video for youtube while the lower rankings went by, but she couldn’t get her mouse to work properly.

‘What is this and why am I nervous……!’

When she couldn’t stand it and brought her soda and sat down, the announcement finally entered the top 30.

It was after it cut up again in the middle and proceeded with the boring drink PPL content.

‘Not even a single cut of Moondae came out… !’

It was because he hadn’t touched the drink since he almost spit it out, but that was something that viewers could not understand.

It was only around the time when the 31st place was announced that she saw a scene that interested her.

[31st place… Participant Kwon Heeseung!]

A participant in October 31alongside Moondae, who was referred to as Gold 2 in his heart.

Among the people who came out to the podium to greet him, there was Park Moondae.

[Congratulations.]

It was very cute as he gave an awkward high-five with a serious expression.

Meanwhile, the MC made a joke that didn’t even make sense.

[This is the first member of October 31 to advance to the next broadcast! Is that why it’s number 31?]
[Looks like it!]

Starting with Kwon Heeseung, the members of the October 31 team began to be called out to the podium sporadically.

Choi Wongil and Ha Iljun (Gold 1) were not called for a while after they were announced in the mid-20s.

Then came the 13th.

[Congratulations. 13th place… Participant Lee Sejin! Oh, there are two!]

Lee Sejin and Lee Sejin reflexively raised their heads, one of them smiled shyly, and the other returned to his original state with a hardened expression.

[Among you two… Lee Sejin B! Also called Keun Sejin! He was the leader in October 31.]
[Ahaha!]

Keun Sejin smiled excitedly and asked Lee Sejin for a handshake, and Lee Sejin accepted the handshake tremblingly.

After that, Keun Sejin went up on the podium with cheers from the participants pretending to know them.

[Wow! 13! It’s just like our team. It seems like fate.]

Keun Sejin made a joke according to the situation.

And he climbed up after neatly finishing his thanking and encouraging words that looked serious and sincere.

Moondae is in top 12!

She swallowed her saliva and waited for the next announcement.

Since Park Moondae did not have a pre-formed awareness before the first episode aired, this alone was a tremendous achievement.

[The contestant who ranked 11th… is Seo Hyuncheol!]

And until the 11th place, Moondae’s name was not called.

It finally reached a number that she could count with her fingers.

10th, 9th……

[The contestant who placed in 8th place……Ah, the participant who sang the MallangDalkom song in the first team fight.]

‘Done…!’

She relaxed her shoulders and exhaled her breath.

She would probably call Moondae. She thought it was almost a fact.

First of all, child actor Lee Sejin had overwhelming recognition in the beginning, and Seon Ahyun had a very good index thanks to his last stage.

So she thought those two would be called after Moondae.

[This participant showed an unexpected charm……]

After taking turns illuminating the three remaining October 31 participants for quite some time, the MC continued.

[Participant Lee Sejin!]
[…!]

Lee Sejin stood up with a stiff face.

Seon Ahyun and Park Moondae, who were still present, gave congratulations like it was a habit.

[Congratulations.]
[C-Congratulations……]
[…Thanks.]

Lee Sejin smiled faintly and greeted back awkwardly.

And she shouted with her voice.

“Huuuuuh!”

The reaction of the related community was also overflowing.

– OMG

– Huh, Lee Sejin

– I thought he would be in top 5

– 8th place?

– Although we talked about personality, I thought he would come out as a hard worker and maintain his rank.

– Pah, It’s pretty close, how interesting;;

– Is it possible that the other contestants were pushed out of the rankings?

Lee Sejin bowed his head and left the stage, leaving short and bold words, ‘Thank you, I will do my best’.

She grabbed the mouse.

‘Then, what’s Moondae’s rank?’
