《Debut or Die [fan translation]》Chapter 85
Advertisement
Although the live stream was only delayed, the TeStar members, who had no experience in such live broadcasting, whispered to each other while looking at the screen.
The Cha Yujin shouted with a bright face.
Seeing the real-time comments that had instantly popped up, the TeStar members smiled, bowed their heads and waved their hands.
"Hi... hi!"
The college student waved her hand instinctively when she saw Park Moondae greeting on the screen.
Her dog lying on the bed looked at her as if it has seen all kinds of strange things, but this was not the time to care.
'I couldn't even go to the fansign event, so I'm going to watch the W Live...!'
Unlike her homepage master friend, she was unable to make time at the end of June since she was scheduled to go to graduate school after graduating in the autumn. Because of this, she sent her friend off to the fansign event while crying.
'I thought about breaking my instalment saving account...'
While crying about not having any money, she was even more heartbroken when her friend comforted her through text messages. It was because she heard too many details about what Moondae did at the fansign event.
'I can go when Moondae's hair is blond.'
She concentrated on the screen muttering that she wanted to see him with blond hair when she saw him for the first time in real life. It was a sad self-rationalization...
The TeStar member enthusiastically applauded and responded to Ryu Chungwoo's words.
Moondae was also clapping, but his clothes flailed as he moved without rolling up his long sleeves.
"Cute...!"
Her dog thought she was talking about it and lifted its ears, but soon noticed it wasn't the case and looked away from the college student with round eyes.
The comments were moving quickly on the screen.
Since it was still the early stages of the live stream, there were many comments pouring out.
TeStar looked like they wanted to read some things, but it was so fast that they couldn't read properly, so instead they just widely grinned. This was because they saw a lot of hearts.
As soon as Cha Yujin finished speaking, the staff behind the phone camera said, 'I'll bring it to you so please proceed with the opening according to the script.'
They sent a sign.

It seemed like a rookie who was doing W Live for the first time was worried about going to the mountain while talking during the opening.
The members naturally comforted Cha Yujin and pulled him back as it seemed like he was about to shake the carrot at any moment.
//TN: A meme or a joke about how someone should shake their carrots if they're being forced to do something. Kinda like 'blink twice if you're in trouble' or something like that
As TeStar stepped away from the camera, a set desk was seen in the back. The desk was covered with a white cloth above something bumpy, and anyone could see there was something under it.
The comments were filled with all kinds of personal questions, and even malicious comments but fortunately, TeStar was unable to see the words due to the distance from the screen.
Since anyone could come in to watch, the real-time comments were a mess.
The college student had to grind her teeth.
'I should report all the haters...!'
The comments moved so quickly that she could barely check them.
She hoped Moondae was at a distance where he couldn't see the comments, and then she focused on TeStar on the screen again.
When the first white cloth was removed from the desk, there was a pile of panels with each member's name on it.
The members clapped excitedly and moved the panel with their names on it.
"..."
She tightly bit her mouth.
She found Moondae holding his panel with both of his hands cute. However, she was boiling from the inside.
'These agency guys really aren't understanding...!'
It was ridiculous that they made TeStar do their own voting when the fans didn't want to vote.
'If the kids say they want to do something like this or that, you guys at the agency should figure it out and pick the design...!'
This was her first time liking an idol, so she couldn't calm herself in this frustrating situation.
Did they air the song concept presentation on the reality show's second episode because the members were forced to work on the title song by themselves in this way too? It wasn't because TeStar themselves wanted to take on a challenge?
A strong suspicion flashed through her mind.
However, since Park Moondae, who was moving around in real-time right in front of her eyes was currently a priority, the college student's eyes followed him on the screen.

Ryu Chungwoo, who was sitting on the far right, had a slightly shy face, but he removed the tape covering it and revealed his drawing.
And what was under the tape was... a drawing of a ball made up of abstract lines.
A few members grasped the situation and lowered their heads down to their knees to prevent themselves from bursting out laughing.
Ryu Chungwoo also stopped himself from laughing.
The drawing was not great, but everyone held back their laughter and nodded, saying that his presentation was good.
From then on, TeStar focused only on the good parts of each member's presentation and continued with complimentary comments. It was because this was not something where one's opinion must be expressed and it was enough as long as they could reach a conclusion and choose something pretty.
Of course, excessively unrealistic claims were naturally ignored.
Kim Raebin sank just three minutes after he began his presentation.
Occasionally, comments such as 'eng plz' or 'that's awkward' appeared, but most of the fans who were watching watched the screen with warm smiles.
The same was true for the college student. Before she knew it, she was smiling at the screen while hugging her dog.
'Now it's Moondae's turn!'
Park Moondae silently removed the tape on the screen, then turned the drawing and revealed it to the camera.
Two splendour-looking black poles were drawn.
It was fine up to there since there are quite a few cheering lightsticks in that style. The problem was that there were various traces of an attempt to draw some things around it. All of them were terribly poorly drawn and they ended up looking like some kind of weird amoeba.
And Park Moondae opened his mouth looking like he had already given up all hope.
In an instant, the audio was engulfed by laughter.
The members, who had forgotten the concept of using respectful words, laughed uncontrollably and looked at the drawing. Even Seon Ahyun was holding back his laughter with a blushed face.
And the college student burst into laughter.
It was half funny and half wholesome.
'I guess Moondae is really bad at drawing...!'
But the traces of his hard work were so cute that her heart was about to explode!
Moondae on the screen coughed a few times, and then he began to explain step by step while pointing at the picture with his hand.
Everyone started to get excited, saying that it reminded them of the magic sword toy they used to play with when they were young.
The production cost was going up like crazy, but no one cared.
As a result, something like a super ultra magic toy was created.
TeStar took a pen from outside of the camera's view and drew a new cheering lightstick with various elements added to each other.
As a result, it naturally began to look comparable to Park Moondae's original drawing, which was being introduced.
Keun Sejin laughed again when he looked at the shape that looked like a dried crooked breadstick.
Park Moondae eventually covered his face with one hand and pushed his drawing away to the edge of the table.
"Hooo..."
It was so pitiful and cute that the soon-to-be graduate student eventually started to post real-time comments. Since she wasn't the only one, her comments were buried by the traffic.
There were also some foreign languages passing through the comments.
A flood of comments poured down to the point that it was impossible to tell what they said.
In the meantime, the screen was displaying a new lightstick design that was completed after many twists and turns.
Although the production team became overwhelmed by the rise in the unit price when they received it, the result looked plausible. It was thanks to the fact that sensible opinions were expressed well.
For your information, Park Moondae took his drawing back, after receiving a series of 'It's okay's from his members.
Still, a small smile could be seen on Moondae's face, who was clapping, as if he was happy that the design of the cheering lightstick was completed.
'...Black hair is nice, too.'
Whether he had black hair or blonde hair, the college student eventually admitted that she had to see the real thing...
On the screen, the members lowered their drawings down and organized them, and then moved in front of a part of the desk that was still covered with a white cloth.
They said that they had decided on it together, and the happy members stretched out their hands toward the cloth together with slightly nervous faces.
Then they all picked up the cloth and threw it back.
"...??"
