If you can’t debut, you’ll get a fatal disease Episode 509
‘Swapped bodies with Keundal again?’
From collapsing buildings to changing bodies.
Ability to reproduce the situation at the time of the last ‘mission failed’.
I shut my mouth while looking at the option that the status window said ‘re-update’.
It was dumbfounded.
‘Who the hell would welcome a function like this?’
I went through so much hardship back then, but there’s no way I’d want to voluntarily experience it again. Who the hell would want to feel the thrill of being trapped in a collapsing building or ruining a schedule?
Are you saying that I’ve been thinking about absorbing ‘Fragments of ■■■’ lately? So far, every time I’ve solved ‘Mission Failed’, I’ve acquired a fragment, so I’ve found a connection there.
‘Even at a corner store in the neighborhood, if you predict demand this way, you’ll get fired, you bastard.’
Moreover, the system was applied to the company, but why is it providing additional functions that have nothing to do with the company?
It’s not like borrowing an IP shell from a famous webtoon and making a mobile lottery game out of context.
And as if in response, a pop-up popped up.
[Mission failed: Return to original state]
Maximum viewing time: 48 hours
-Are you sure you want to read?
Even this kid doesn’t notice.
‘Please turn off.’
I erased the popup and closed my eyes. My temples were itching.
…Let’s clear things up first.
‘The members who lost their memories right now are Chungwoo Ryu and Raebin Kim.’
Looking at the status quo, both were cooperative with the group and did not act unexpectedly.
However, Ryu Cheong-woo is reluctant to retrieve his memory, and Kim Rae-bin is reluctant to perform.
Besides, it didn’t end there. I remembered Kim Rae-bin’s expression just before.
-Ha But… .
‘A while ago, Steer Kim Rae-bin noticed Ryu Chung-woo.’
It’s like it’s a bit scary.
It’s a rare sight to see while living as a testa, but it’s almost like a habit.
“….”
I was lost in thought, recalling the strange feeling of incongruity I felt with Steer Ryu Chung-woo over the past few days.
and concluded
‘I can’t help anymore.’
Until now, I refrained from scratching myself, fearing that it would turn into a boil, but now that it has come this far, it is a stupid thing to escape from reality.
If the method of not blushing doesn’t work, it’s the correct method.
‘I ask.’
And I knew who was the most suitable opponent.
A whole that has both memories.
* * *
“Tell me everything you can remember.”
I called Yujin Cha, who was responsible for the last incident and who had successfully regained her memory, into the kitchen and had a conversation like this.
“What?”
“Internal Conflict When Steering.”
Cha Yu-jin looked at me with a confused face.
“Hyung said he would cook something delicious! I tricked you!”
okay. To do this, I even recruited Lee Se-jin and Sun Ah-hyun and even dispersed the two Steers to the choreography practice room and studio.
But it’s not a scam.
“I will do that too.”
“Oh.”
“What do you want to eat?”
“Kimchi fried rice, please.”
receipt.
I opened the refrigerator and took out the ingredients.
“Cheese, please!”
OK.
I asked while slicing kimchi with the guy who had calmed down at once next to me.
“The reason I’m asking is because I think I’ll be able to deal with it by collecting information somehow.”
“….”
“It means you can no longer go without knowing.”
Silence, tacit agreement.
I brought up the story from the part that bothered me the most.
“First of all, it seems that Rabin is paying attention to Chungwoo.”
“Umm… Yep.”
Positive.
“What is the reason?”
Cha Yu-jin was sullen for a moment, but soon calmed down.
“Do you really want to hear it?”
“uh.”
“OK.”
Cha Yu-jin was silent for a moment. I didn’t rush and quietly continued preparing the material.
Soon, a calm voice rang the sink.
“Once upon a time, Steer’s older brother Chung Woo was a scarer.”
“…!”
It was an unusual choice of words.
scare you?
“How was it specifically?”
[You know, half of the early members of a KPOP group called Steer were a mess. So he led the team like a high-ranking boss. Like a very tough American football captain.]
Cha Yu-jin shrugged slightly.
[So what I mean is that he didn’t treat his teammates with the gentle, tolerant way he is now.]
“…for example?”
He frowned as if recalling a vague memory.
[I once banned a member from entering the dorm and had to stay up all night in the practice room.]
What?
I grabbed the handle of the frying pan in an instant. Cha Yoo-jin continued with a snort.
[That stupid guy had to learn the choreography all morning to the point of crying.]
“….”
[And that kind of punishment continued for several years.]
‘It’s hard to believe.’
Due to Ryu Cheng-wu’s personality, it’s impossible, and it’s not something like that.
It was a question of whether it was realistically possible.
‘This isn’t even an army.’
No matter how old he was, he was the same age as him.
Also, an individual who is only a nominal leader in the same situation is trying to ‘punish’ like an instructor?
As long as the other members had thick heads, there was a limit to what they could eat.
Besides, aren’t they all just debuting after being ranked in the top ranks on an exciting survival program? At such a time when self-consciousness is enlarged for such a long time… .
“Did that work?”
However, Cha Yu-jin answered immediately.
[It worked.]
“….”
i get it.
‘It means that Ryu Cheng-wu was surprisingly familiar with the politics of terror to the extent that common sense did not work.’
In order to control the atmosphere of the group, which is a mess on both sides of the inside and outside… In the end, I mean, I wrote a hard line.
I silently flipped the bacon. Then, he confirmed by frying the sliced kimchi in the oil as if frying it.
“As a leader, he was properly coercive.”
“It’s similar.”
Hearing Cha Yoo-jin’s affirmation, I mechanically put the cooled rice into the frying pan and loosened it up.
Repeated labor is easy to think of other things, and I completed my rebuttal in a flash.
“But Lavin would have listened even if he didn’t have to.”
“Me? I hear you too!”
“Do you have a conscience?”
“Boo.”
He put on a sullen expression, as if he was a bit unfair, but soon gave a proper answer.
“Discrimination creates problems. I think that’s why Chungwoo-hyung treated all the members equally strongly.”
“….”
They said they couldn’t take care of each situation because they had to suppress the steam and let them not even make a sound.
‘So even Kim Rae-bin noticed… la.’
Come to think of it, steer Cha Yoo-jin was also surprisingly compliant with Ryu Chung-woo in the beginning.
It was an indicator of how bloody the team atmosphere that Ryu Cheong-woo, who was a former national athlete, had ‘not looked at’ and took control of.
‘It should have been that much for the horror politics meta to work in the long run.’
To the extent that after suppressing the backlash for years, half the members would rather quit and go on the run rather than cause trouble within the group.
It’s just that the agency grabbed the group that had lost its way and managed it somehow.
However, even after saying that, Cha Yu-jin showed a slight regret.
[As a fan of ours, you have the right to protect your fantasy. So I didn’t mention it specifically… Yes, that is the truth.]
“….”
And I knew
“There is no reason for you to lie.”
“that’s right. I am an honest person.”
I finished the kimchi fried rice with cheese.
And he said calmly to Cha Yu-jin, who was feeling depressed with his appetite.
“There is no such thing as broken illusions in particular.”
“…Are you serious?”
“OK.”
As a result, Ryu Cheong-woo made the best choice within the given environment.
I can’t criticize it for not being the best choice.
‘It’s a miracle that I did that with kids who don’t listen.’
than that
“Then, steer Ryu Cheng-wu is trying to be gentle on purpose.”
Cha Yoo-jin seemed briefly lost in thought, but eventually nodded.
“I think so. Because people hate showing their weaknesses. Chungwoo hyung is no exception.”
That is to say, Steer Ryu Cheong-woo himself regarded his ‘oppressive leader’ image as a weakness that did not help him settle down here.
‘…There’s a high probability that he wasn’t too reluctant to act so forcefully in the first place.’
I expected, cutting a loaf of butter in half and putting it in a new pan for frying eggs.
And now I asked Cha Yoo-jin, who couldn’t take her eyes off the kimchi fried rice with all the cheese melted.
“I get it. Then what about Lavin?”
“….”
“I don’t know why you don’t like being on stage.”
Then, Cha Yu-jin slightly stretched her shoulders.
“I don’t know either.”
“…??”
[The steer I remember, Raebin Kim…Yes, I was less active than I am now. But I didn’t hate the stage.]
“….”
Even now, I just don’t admit myself as a ‘performer’, but I didn’t bother to say that I didn’t seem to hate the stage.
As a result, there is not much difference.
‘Anyway, even this guy doesn’t know exactly.’
If so, it could be that there was a decisive incident with steer Kim Rae-bin after he went to the United States.
– After the group disbanded. After breaking up with all the members.
I decided to keep this timing in mind.
and.
“Let me ask you one last question.”
“…OK.”
I brought up a question I had been putting off.
“…What happened to Bae Se-jin hyung?”
Clap.
The sound of eggs cooking filled the quiet kitchen.
and.
[I think the news broke a few years ago, and I remember he kept appealing the trial.]
You appealed?
Appeal means dissatisfaction with the outcome of the trial.
And that… It also meant that the charge of drug distribution was acknowledged and that a prison sentence or a fine was definitely sentenced.
‘X feet.’
Distribution is more likely to result in imprisonment. I held back a sigh.
“result?”
“I don’t remember. [Perhaps the members of STEER didn’t deliberately look for the final conclusion.]”
Cha Yoo-jin’s voice sounded slightly bitter.
“But now I know. Sejin hyung is a completely moral person. So… [Now I think it must be a misunderstanding or a coincidence with bad timing.]” “
…okay.”
That was all.
‘Then, the steer guys all know that Bae Se-jin was convicted at trial anyway.’
It was even more surprising that steer Ryu Cheong-woo was quite gentle and kind to Bae Se-jin here.
‘hmm.’
I lowered the heat of the induction with some hypotheses.
Then, two soft-boiled fried eggs were placed on top of the kimchi fried rice covered with cheese.
“It is done.”
“Wow!!”
In an instant, all of Cha Yu-jin’s worries flew away. what nice to see
And after a while, the guys who went out to the porch came back.
“Hey, kimchi fried rice with us?”
“Hyung uses delivery!”
“Wow~ You’re really mean, Eugene.”
I made some kind of decision while watching the steer guys who were silently and a little awkwardly mixed in the gap.
Basic first.
‘The current situation is too twisted.’
Listening to Cha Yoo-jin’s explanation, the causal relationship during Steer’s time is more complicated than I thought.
But to lead both guys to get their memories back satisfactorily at the same time without stepping on either bomb?
‘The difficulty level is crazy.’
And even if all of this miraculously ends well, the problem remains.
‘Aside from getting my memories back, it’s all up to this system update in the end.’
You can’t predict that.
I am not clear on how this system works.
That’s why the reasoning of that part is ambiguous, and even if you have a conversation, it will linger.
In the end, if I don’t grasp this fundamental part, it comes to the conclusion that there is no clear answer.
-Why did the memory of the time of steer come back because of the update?
-When will you get your original memories back?
principle of the system.
And now, under the given conditions… I’ve been thinking of a way to figure this out.
‘Then I have to find out.’
If I hesitate, I drag on again, and the bomb may explode when it is out of my hands.
‘I’ll never see that again.’
Here comes the second step of the ‘Jeonggongbeop’ following the direct conversation with the person concerned.
– System direct analysis.
And to catch a tiger, you have to go into the tiger’s den.
I decided.
‘Throws the adventure number.’
And if you want to take the risk, you have to do it yourself to be relieved.
so that morning.
‘Status window.’
It’s been a while since I voluntarily brought up a game system.
And since it was in ‘preview’, I checked again the system pop-up that was not complete somewhere.
[Mission failed: Return to original state]
Maximum viewing time: 48 hours
-Are you sure you want to read?
48 hours is probably the maximum penalty period received when Park Moon-dae and Ryu Kun-woo changed owners last time.
‘Seeing that it is attached to the maximum, there is a high probability that I can end it arbitrarily.’
Even in the worst case, it is said that the conclusion is unconditionally within 48 hours.
By the way, tomorrow is the weekend.
My contest stage is yet to be prepared, and the big month’s work is a day off.
Doesn’t it fit just right?
[Hyung, are you really going to do it?]
Yes.
[All right….]
Daedal, who had already been persuaded for several hours, obediently agreed with my opinion.
and after a while
“after.”
I woke up from the bed with tired eyes.
The ceiling of Ryu Gun-woo’s bedroom was outlined in the dim light.
But I don’t have time to check in detail.
‘From the connection.’
I immediately connected to the field of view of ‘Park Moondae’ where the big moon entered.
[Viewing the fragment log]
An image is projected in my head as if my field of vision were split in two.
‘good.’
This is what I did last time.
And there is one fact that this tells us.
‘If the body is in a changed state, I can access Park Moon-dae’s field of view as a status window, just like Keun-dal did.’
Then maybe we can go one step further.
So I went to the next step.
-Like getting sucked into that little typhoon or black hole… .
‘It’s difficult.’
As I recalled the vague description of the big moon, I gradually focused on the surface of the status window as far as I could see… .
And how much time has passed
‘…!’
My consciousness was sucked in as if I was really asleep.
into the status window.
‘done!’
Check and change system structure.
Just as Big Moon had done before by accessing the system through the status window several times, from the daydream incident to the collapse of the building.
[■■■■■■■■■]
‘Just… I’ll make you incapacitated like a coma.’
I started analyzing the system.
