《Debut or Die [fan translation]》Chapter 133
Advertisement
'Gasp.'
Park Moondae's homepage master immediately clicked on the W Live notification without even breathing.
'They're doing a live stream at this timing?!'
Even when TeStar wasn't active, they usually didn't forget to take care of social media activities, but she didn't think they would do it like this right after the concert.
And within an hour after it ended too!
'They must be very tired.'
She got worried when she thought about the setlist which they poured all of their stamina into, but couldn't help but raise the corner of her mouth.
'I can see TeStar again right away!'
It felt like the depressing feeling of emptiness that came after the concert was blocked in advance.
The video started appearing after a longer loading time than usual, as if there was a huge crowd of people.
TeStar appeared sitting around a table full of delivery food.
In addition, TeStar members were waving their hands and wearing party cone hats on their heads!
'So cute!'
It was obvious they would wear it since it was written as an after-concert party. The homepage master quickly checked Park Moondae's face with a warm expression.
"...?"
It kind of... seemed like the Tibetan fox side of him was coming out?
Somehow, he looked lonely as if getting hit by reality.
'Our pro-idol Moondae is barely wearing the cone hat...?'
The homepage master was puzzled but immediately realized the reason.
Looking closely, the members seemed to have decorated the hats themselves and written a phrase on each other's cone hats with crayons.
And Park Moondae's phrase was this.
"Gaaasspp..."
It was insanely cute.
The other members also had playful phrases like 'preparing for abs' in their heads, but Park Moondae's sullen look was really lethally cute...
She shut her mouth to avoid looking like a lunatic on the subway but realized she didn't have to. After all, half of that compartment was people returning home from the concert...
Every other passenger was grunting or unable to contain their laughter.
And the comments on the W app were quickly filled with questions about the cone hat's comments or cute comments.
TeStar members, who were waving their hands a few times to check the comments and the number of viewers, answered happily, although a bit shy.
Cha Yujin showed the cone hat that he lifted with both hands and it had the words, 'Had to kneel to get on the wires'.
It was a cute phrase for him but Cha Yujin seemed to think it was cool since it showed his passion.
'Cha Yujin is also cute.'
The homepage master generously acknowledged the situation. It meant she was accepting his maknae position and who played well with her fave.

Park Moondae also chuckled.
It was a cute atmosphere. She concentrated on the screen, holding her breath.
Ryu Chungwoo smiled and opened his mouth.
Click.
The video suddenly turned off.
"...?"
So suddenly?
The members weren't even touching the phone.
'What is it? Is it an error?'
TeStar was most likely also taken aback since the live notification came back after a while.
The TeStar members, who had taken off their cones from being taken aback, were sighing in relief when the W Live turned on again.
Click. It disconnected again.
This time, not even one minute could be broadcasted properly.
"..."
The homepage master was overcome with a very foreboding feeling.
The next W Live was turned on immediately.
However, the quality was poor.
TeStar, who looked like pixel images, whispered while looking at the screen.
The video ended before Park Moondae's words were finished.
'Fuck!!'
Since the app got updated not too long ago, errors occurred to idols one after another, and it seemed like it was TeStar's turn this time.
The homepage master immediately checked the notices on the W App, but there were no notices about errors or server instability even after clearing her eyes.
'...Right. They don't do that.'
As always, she was speechless at these cash milkers' consistent handling.
"..."
TeStar took another five minutes or so before the next attempt. It seemed like they changed phones according to Seon Ahyun's suggestion.
Now, the title of the W Live started to have crying emojis.
A clean screen welcomed TeStar and the viewers.
'Haa, will it be this time...!'
The homepage master was momentarily relieved since TeStar's strategy of changing phones seemed to have worked.
However, this time there was no sound.
And Park Moondae, who had disappeared from the view, appeared again with a paper written with crayons.
There was a flood of comments saying yes.
Keun Sejin wrote with crayons on the paper with an expression that was neither smiling nor crying.
And they tried again.
TeStar was slowly getting worn out.
However, this time, it somehow wasn't interrupted!
The majority of TeStar members nodded at Ryu Chungwoo's thoughtful words. This was because there really was no countermeasure if it was restarted and got cut off again.
Only then did TeStar get excited and started a full-fledged concert review.
However, they didn't know.
That almost all viewers except for a very small number of people were thrown from the broadcast.
The error was not the decrease of comments, but the number of viewers that remained the same.
The vast majority of Loviewers were madly crying while looking at the infinite loading and error screen that didn't let them enter...

And Park Moondae's homepage master belonged to that majority.
"..."
Among the very few, who succeeded, some malicious people relayed the situation on social media while laughing and making jokes.
//TN: I'm really not sure if this is the right translation, but it's a negative comment about group age hierarchy I think.
The aggros, who would normally have been buried, were receiving attention and the number of shares and repost were increasing.
"...Haa."
The homepage master felt deeply upset after a long time since the rookie award controversy. Since it wasn't just a few people who were like that, W App's social media account got bombarded.
However, W App did not respond a single word.
'...I knew it, but...'
These guys made no apologies even after making five errors on VTIC member's personal W live streams not too long ago.
Unless it was at a level where a whole function was paralyzed such as not being able to block comments at all, it was just a nerve-hitting error.
Perhaps it was more awkward to have an expression of opinion on TeStar's case.
'Like this, I can't see Moondae... in real-time?'
Park Moondae's homepage master clicked on TeStar's real-time W Live thumbnail and it kept going in and out, but nothing happened.
And by the time she got home, TeStar's W Live was over.
"..."
The replay video would come out tomorrow at the earliest, or a week later at the latest.
'If the error is really serious then I won't be able to see the replay ever again... No! It can't be like that!'
It was better not to think of any more ominous forebodings.
"Huu.."
The homepage master let out a long sigh, and entered her house.
'I'll shower and come out... and organize the data.'
She came back from seeing the concert in a good mood so there was no need to be upset about it.
'Right, it was so good.'
She immediately felt better again after thinking about the two-day concert.
And when she picked up her phone again, news had arrived.
"...?!"
It was TeStar's social media notification.
And it was from Park Moondae, too!
In the attached video... was a recording of the W Live they just did!
That's right. When the members were changing phones to broadcast again, Park Moondae had put his phone next to it just in case. With the video recording on.
And as soon as the W Live ended, he figured out the situation and uploaded it immediately. It was filmed with a completely different phone so it didn't violate the contract regulations of W App.
'...Oh my god.'
The homepage master slammed her head on her bed.
She was at a loss for words since Park Moondae was such a brilliant and great idol.
And when she finally looked at Park Moondae's social media post again, something she didn't pay attention to before caught her eye.
It was a picture of a fox drawn crookedly with crayons.
'No, how does this make sense, it's crazy!!'
Considering Park Moondae's devastating drawing skills, it was obvious that he had copied and practiced a lot before uploading it.
'Were you mindful of it since there is no Tibetan fox emojis...!'
The homepage master cried, wondering how could there be an idol like this, and it was the same case on social media.
And the flow did not end with Park Moondae's individual fans.
The members started posting pictures of concert practice and after-party preparations in comments to Park Moondae's post.
In addition, it included pieces of information.
The disappointment of not being able to attend W Live together in TeStar's fandom disappeared.
* * *
"Mm, everyone likes it!"
"Phew."
"I know right."
"It's such a relief!"
Voices of relief responded from here and there to Keun Sejin's confirmation.
I held back my sigh.
'There was an error at that timing.'
It would have been difficult if the atmosphere became bad on the day of the concert. Everyone had to be excited and happy so that they would come to the next concert and listen to this album.
Still, it was fortunate that it went to a good direction, but the fact that the W Live didn't go as planned left a bad aftertaste.
'We even rented a place to do it.'
It was upsetting. However, the scenario couldn't always go as expected, so let's be content with this.
"Well then, should we continue a little more comfortably?"
"Yes!"
"Let's order fried chicken!"
Currently, TeStar, who had returned to the dorm, finally changed into comfortable clothes.
And now, the second round was about to begin.
'They have good stamina.'
They were probably excited as there was no schedule for tomorrow morning, so because of that they wanted to treat themselves.
'I'll hang out for a bit and leave.'
Since even Bae Sejin was choosing food, it would be strange if I only I was absent.
Instead, I would get some business done while those guys were talking.
'Status window.'
Thanks to the successful completion of the concert, I had a little something to settle.
//TN: My holiday ends next week so there won't be chapters as often because of university, but I'll try to do at least 2 chapters a week and more if I have time (or if the chapters end in cliffhangers and I can't stand not knowing what happens next)
