Debut Or Die

Chapter 35

Seon Ahyeon and Keun Sejin asked to eat something before entering the filming set, so we met at a restaurant.

"Oh, Moondae, hi~"

"H-hello..."

But even with the food placed in front of them, they had dark expressions.

One of them became a social-life-reactions vending machine, and the other looked like he would burst into tears at any moment.

'Is it because of the negative vote?'

It was a guess that made the most sense.

I thought about leaving it alone, but I wanted to know how they were doing so I asked once while eating.

"Is it because you're worried about the voting?"

"H-huh?"

"Both of you don't look good."

Then, the two of them look at each other's faces reflexively.

Perhaps because they were in a bad mood, they didn't realize that the other person was in a bad mood.

"Ah, Moondae, you're like a ghost~ No, well... It's hard not to worry. I've been looking at the Internet too much, haha."

Keun Sejin trembled and joked soullessly. At his words, Seon Ahyeon also nodded with a gloomy face.

"I-I'm afraid I'll be hated..."

Aigoo.

It seems that they had been searching for articles that they didn't need to see. Looking at this atmosphere, it was clear that they couldn't leave SNS all night and kept searching for their names.

When they entered the set, they would see the number of people who hate them, so it was understandable that they couldn't easily swallow food in this situation.

'...But you have to eat before you go.'

I pondered for a moment, then finally sighed and said.

"Since it's an audition program, wouldn't there be more people who keep us in check than those who actually hate us? If you get a lot of negative votes, it could mean you look promising."

"...!"

Even in the previous team match, the team full of high-ranked players ended up in 3rd place in the on-site voting.

"It means you don't have to worry about it unless you show up a lot."

Of course, that didn't mean you could ignore it. But it would be better if you had a spot where you could mentally win.

As expected, Keun Sejin recovered first.

"That's true."

Then, with a bitter smile, he lifted his spoon and muttered to himself.

"...I really need to get something done this time. My trainee period was too long... Well, anyway, let's eat well and cheer up!"

He quickly wrapped up the words that came out of nowhere and resumed his meal diligently.

Seon Ahyeon still looked anxious, but he ate diligently when I said, 'Isn't it be better to eat before you go?'

'It's hard to eat sometimes.'

I also resumed eating with a sigh.

Although they were latecomers, they got roughed up a bit because they were well known, so it was obvious how the other participants were doing if even these two kids who were never smashed by editing were being like this.
