Episode 497
“Isn’t it okay?”
I will kill… No, I have no power to kill.
‘It’s a bitch.’
I stretch out in LeTi’s dedicated VTIC practice room.
7 hours.
It’s time to practice choreography with Cheongryeo Nom.
‘Isn’t he crazy?’
Since it’s nearing the end of the comeback, there won’t be any time, so you’ll have to spend 7 hours on one performance?
The most amazing thing is that it doesn’t seem like it will end today.
As if doing some extreme PT, skillfully pushing people to their limits and then allowing them to breathe, art is art.
‘This baby would have earned money if he was a lecturer.’
Wait a minute, I don’t think these words mean anything to a guy who’s already made a ton of money.
‘My brain isn’t working… .’
I catch my breath
Testa is not a group that gets lost in the amount of practice wherever they go. In this way, it means that there are not a few cases where the amount of practice time is offensive.
However, it is different to put in a choreography that is unfamiliar with the dance line in such a short period of time.
At that age, I can’t help but think of < Azusa >, the first time in my life that I learned how to dance.
I stared at the ceiling in silence.
A strange fluorescent light was shining.
‘hmm?’
I inadvertently opened my mouth.
“Did you remodel the lighting?”
“hmm?”
Cheong-ryeo, who was playing the song, answered as if she was curious.
“I did. Although it was three years ago.”
“ah.”
And I realized
LeTi’s practice room where I practiced for nearly a year in my memory is not here.
‘That wasn’t real.’
This is the ceiling we saw when we were trying to win the Daesang with a hybrid group called ‘Wishes’, a mix of VTIC and Testa members.
The experience of debuting with the VTIC guys in the body of Ryu Gun-woo in the virtual world created by the system.
‘The words came out without thinking.’
And Cheongryeo seemed to notice that part.
“Is it similar to when you debuted with your juniors? Maybe so. I fixed that too.”
A funny explanation followed, saying, ‘Because if you make it several times, standard specifications are created and standardized.’
I laughed.
“Is there efficiency in the practice room?”
“sure.”
I don’t know how old he is if he figured that out.
It’s new, but in terms of experience and information, it will be difficult to rub against him no matter who you bring it to.
um too
‘I thought VTIC would go downhill to some degree after the military hiatus.’
I need to prepare a little harder.
From rookies who debuted with capital by benchmarking us to VTIC who didn’t die out of form, Testa is also in a very sandwiched situation.
‘I can’t be vigilant just because I rode the target.’
I drank water and quickly organized my plans for the next album.
It was then that Cheongryeo sat next to him.
“Your junior’s ability to learn choreography is good.”
I guess so.
“If you don’t have the ability to learn this year, you should quit.”
“haha.”
I don’t think I’m laughing because it’s funny. It seems that even a guy with no learning ability at this age has experience of being a member.
‘I must have tried to turn around because I wasn’t satisfied.’
You can tell by looking at that stat window.
He is a guy who has already perfected his talent by grinding his talents to the limit to the limit. You must be confident in your own routine.
So, a pup who couldn’t keep up with the amount of practice he assigned would not have been treated as a human being.
‘…hmm.’
By the way.
I called a guy out of curiosity.
This guy is the only one to have this conversation.
‘The big moon.’
[Yes?]
“….”
Does it come out in an instant?
I thought the answer might be late because I’m at work, but I never thought the answer would come like a knife like this.
Anyway, I got lucky after chatting with him about a few things.
‘…I mean the potential stats that appear on the status window.’
[…] ?? Ah, the characteristic of infinite potential? It wasn’t given to me by the system, but it’s true that my older brother had it… ….]
No, that’s not the story.
[Yes?]
‘The ones that appear on the status window of someone other than me.’
The limiting stats, indicated in parentheses next to the stats.
An indicator that tells the person’s limit.
Let me give you an example.
[Dance: C- (B)]
Here, ‘B’ in parentheses is the limit.
It was also the biggest reason why I became only a person who would make a living through arts and sports. talent teeth.
And what I’m curious about is this.
‘No matter what I do, it’s impossible to overcome that.’
Is it impossible for a person to grow beyond the lower limit stat?
“….”
After a moment of silence, a timid pop-up appeared.
[Maybe…?]
After that, ‘actually, I only changed the judgment of the system so that my brother could see it… ….’ continued.
After all, it means that the value is calculated by the system.
‘hmm.’
I frowned.
That was the moment.
[Poll available!]
“…!”
Next to the big moon chat pop-up.
Suddenly, a status window popped up.
‘what.’
[Help: You can customize the functions of the with feedback through surveys.]
“….”
therefore…Did you come out to do business with your story? can you tell me if it’s possible?
I looked at the status window popup.
It shines like an ad banner, begging me to click on it.
But that’s it.
‘Would you like to?’
Would you like to fish?
I got rid of the popup without hesitation.
‘You’re a waste as soon as you collect system fragments from that guy.’
this is the correct answer
And when you nod your head inwardly.
“Have you had enough rest? wake up.”
“….”
For reference, I only lay down for 5 minutes.
‘after.’
I held back my double desire and got up.
Yes, it’s a limiting stat, and it’s Nabal… Right now, my dance stat is still B+.
what good You can’t whine that you can’t do it this time.
‘Should I change it as far as I can go?’
Let’s do it.
* * *
That night.
The door to Testa’s new dorm opened weakly.
Piririk- click.
And a silent voice was heard.
“…I’m home.”
It was Park Moon-dae wearing a hood.
“Oh Moondae…??”
“….”
Why is he like this?
Lee Se-jin, who took the pack out of the refrigerator and was about to welcome him, was taken aback.
But Park Moon-dae only answered like this.
“I practiced.”
What kind of bastard’s practice did that Bakmundae become like that?
He is a friend who followed me even during all-night practice and stayed up all night and monitored me.
The sight of Bak Mun-dae drooping like wet laundry was unfamiliar and even a bit solemn….
‘wait for a sec.’
Lee Se-jin instantly realized what Park Moon-dae was doing.
“It’s Cheongryeo featuring practice, right?”
“uh.”
No, who is asking for a feature and treating people like trainees at their own company?
‘Don’t you know the lines?’
Although the evaluation of Cheong-rye was slightly relaxed due to past incidents, it was a different group and was a target of caution. That’s why Lee Se-jin didn’t like it any more.
‘Shouldn’t I have been a bit more actively opposed.’
So he shouted cheerfully on purpose with Park Mun-dae on his shoulder.
“Moondaemundae~ Aren’t you doing great things for others? Why do you decide to live or die like that!”
It was then.
“…I agree.”
“…!”
Bae Se-jin, who was enjoying her life in solitary confinement, quietly came out into the living room and spoke up for herself.
Isejin was a little embarrassed.
What’s up with that brother?
“You don’t have to do it, but you do it.”
Bae Se-jin steadfastly continued.
Yes.
He was uncomfortable with VTIC Cheongnyeol.
The fact that the flagship suddenly attacked Bakmundae at the beginning of their debut was a decisive factor, but it was not the only one.
‘…It was strange.’
That was the unique atmosphere of Cheongryeo.
In fact, it is rare that we have ever had a direct conversation. But I felt it even just by observing.
There were moments when I felt like a person with no emotional context, meaning no empathy.
It is as if the psychopaths that Bae Se-jin himself played came to mind.
I felt it better because he was originally sensitive and astute to the attitudes of others.
It was an impression that was not easily erased by the objective fact of being helped in the system’s virtual world or in a building collapse.
It was inevitable unless you knew that it was a gap created by repeated restarts for an extremely long time.
‘hmm.’
Anyway, Lee Se-jin changed his mood again after watching Bae Se-jin, who had become serious.
‘Oh my gosh, Mundae won’t listen to me anymore even if I try to be serious here.’
lighter.
“that’s right. Save up your energy for our album, Moondae~”
“That’s how it should be.”
yes!
Lee Se-jin was delighted to see Moon-dae Park nodding his head.
However, Moondae Park’s words did not end there.
“Do what you have to do right.”
“….”
‘Hey then you… Is there anything different from Kim Rae-bin, who works all night?’
Before saying anything to his roommate, Kim Rae-bin, the words to look back at himself came up to his throat.
Fortunately, next to Lee Se-jin was Bae Se-jin, who would be angry instead.
“So do it without overdoing it!”
“yes. what…I practiced in a way that did not harm my health.”
Park Moon-dae answered calmly.
And mumbled a little.
“That’s even worse.”
“…?”
“it’s nothing.”
Park Moon-dae was silent as he looked back at his exquisitely overworked body.
But he soon shrugged.
“And it helps. It’s my first time doing this kind of choreography. and…When it’s over, I have something to take.”
“receive?”
“yes. I have something to gain.”
Park Moon-dae nodded and smiled.
It was an unexpectedly rewarding smile.
“I think our own content was chosen in a fun way this time, but I think it will be less popular than before.”
“hmm?”
Park Moon-dae also came to the conclusion that although Ryu Seo-rin will be chosen with a balance to make her exciting and stimulating, this is for maniacs.
‘It’s hard to take it lightly because you have to use your brain to reason.’
However, in order to connect with the next album, it has to be symbolic and even meaningful to some extent, and then it will be further away from the light taste.
‘I managed to balance the popularity by utilizing the horror element.’
It was possible because it was late summer and early fall.
So that’s it.
“We need to properly take care of the popularity in the next album.”
I will take care of all the gukppong and popularity!
Park Moon-dae smiled.
“I’ll get something to help with that.”
A big picture was being drawn in his head.
Soon, the ending was met with crawling into the bedroom by the same name who wrathfully said, ‘Okay, just rest’… I mean.
A few days passed like that.
And finally, after the splendid disclosure of Testa’s own content.
The first day of filming for the stage contest of Cheongryeo featuring Moondae Park has arrived.
* * *
VTIC Among them, Cheongryeo’s fan community was very energetic during the solo album promotion period.
In particular, since Cheongryeo caught quite a few broadcast appearances for this album promotion, rice cakes were more abundant.
-Jaehyun-ah, the schedule
is crazy.
Thank you.
– Shin Jae-hyun’s fansign response went around (video),
and in this atmosphere, the news of Chung Ryeo’s appearance on the < Nice to meet you > program was just one of the album promotion activities at first.
It was to the point where there was even a somewhat cold-hearted evaluation, saying, ‘It’s okay if I don’t come out because it’s falling so fast’.
Still, most of them were happy with the schedule itself and liked the fact that they had more time to watch Cheongryeo’s stage.
I was also amused by an article saying that the number of audience requests for < Nice to Meet You > had reached an all-time high.
And, of course, there were also winners among community users.
-I never thought I would attend Cheombom… I’m going to take my mom and I’ll bring a review hahahaha └chkkkkkk
└I’m
jealous
└How did you come along,
but that afternoon.
-Hul
-Hey Shin Jae
-hyeon -LOL
– and
the people who were supposed to post reviews of the audience started leaving only their impressions in real time.
All the fans who were running around the community at that time to see the audience reviews were embarrassed.
‘Jaehyun??’
-????
-What is it
? -What is the reaction? Now
in a few minutes.
Finally, a review of the audition with proper sentences was uploaded.
and.
-crazy!!
It didn’t take long for Cheongryeo’s fan site to be filled with screams and confusion.
