Debut Or Die

Chapter 40

I was a little bewildered.

Due to Seon Ahyeon's personality, I thought he would be stuck in a corner crying, but his face showed more composure than I thought.

How should I say this? Rather, it felt like he'd entered a military regulation.

He wasn't even holding a smartphone.

On the contrary, it was only when I called him and didn't say anything that he started looking frightened.

"W-What is it...?"

"No, um..."

There was no need to scratch the wound. I glossed over my words and took a chocolate bar out of my bag.

It was an action I learned through the Cha Eugene incident.

"Do you want some?"

"H-Hn! Thank you..."

Seon Ahyeon accepted the chocolate bar with both hands as if he was accepting an offering and put it in his bag.

"...?"

Aren't you going to eat it?

As if conscious of my question, Seon Ahyeon hesitated.

"I-I have to take care of my weight... W-When my body gets heavy, my dance becomes weird. I-I shouldn't get used to late-night snacks."

"Is that so?"

He used to be a dance major. I was going to accept it and move on, but then I suddenly found a contradiction.

"Didn't you give me a chocolate bar past midnight during the evaluation?"

"M-Moondae is fine! You were so skinny back then..."

"..."

There was a story like this?

To my surprise, I heard a laugh from the bed next to me.

"That's right, Park Moondae was really thin back then, so I thought you were over-managing yourself."

"But your body? When I see you eat... You don't gain weight compared to what goes in your mouth. If it were me, I would have turned into a pig."

Keun Sejin and Gold 1 each chipped in. Oh, dear.

'I ate a lot on purpose because of my stamina, but it seems I have been misunderstood.'

It was unpleasant, but thanks to this nonsense, the atmosphere in the room seemed to have loosened up a bit.

Seon Ahyeon also laughed a little below me, and when my cold eyes met his, he was startled and started coughing.

"..."

Really... He's an unusual guy.

I silently threw the bottle of water by the bedside.

Seon Ahyeon took the bottle after struggling a few times and drank it.

And murmured softly.

"I-I want to do well. Better."

"...Right."

Judging from his remarks, it seemed that Seon Ahyeon had checked public opinion on the Internet. But I didn't look too closely so I wondered if he was just maintaining his composure.

After pondering about it, I quietly tried my luck.

"...Let's not look for anything else on the Internet and just research the data because it might get you concerned for no reason."
