Become an Idol or Become Deceased! [fan translation] P.1

Chapter 62

Only the first and second-place announcements remain.

I didn't worry about whether 'Park Moondae' would be eliminated.

'There are no candidates.'

No one's face seemed like they could be ranked first or second among the remaining people. Ah, the person who placed third at the last ranking announcement ceremony was witnessed with his girlfriend, and his public sentiment plummeted.

It's a bit unfortunate, but wouldn't it be disastrous to meet your girlfriend every time you took a break from filming while participating in an idol audition show?

"We're revealing the two first-place nominees now!"

The MC shouted a few hints into the mic. His voice was a little hoarse because of the long progression. And after a little delay, like in the previous rankings, the candidates were announced.

"Cha Yujin!"

Cha Yujin smiled and stepped forward. People below cheered as if this result was for granted.

"And the other candidate..."

Let's get ready to go out.

"...is participant Park Moondae!"

As I expected.

I came forward receiving formal congratulations from some of the other participants I didn't know well.

"Hyung, congratulations."

Gold 2 seemed to be sincere, but I could see that he was pretending to put on a brave front as he could slowly feel the elimination. I just patted his back a few times and went up to the podium. Cha Yujin who was already up there, reached out his hand.

"Let's shake hands!"

He looked very excited. I hope he can keep this enthusiasm and take first place. I didn't say anything and accepted the handshake. The atmosphere in the concert hall temporarily became peaceful.

'Isn't this a confirmed debut then?'

I checked for any changes in the status window, but there was only the 'Succesful Performance' pop-up that had appeared earlier.

"What do the two of you think of the other candidate competing for first place with you?"

Cha Yujin immediately picked up the microphone.

"It's really cool!"

"Haha! That's a very clear answer~"

The MC laughed and asked a question to create tension.

"Do you think you'll win first place today?"

"I don't know, but I like number one!"

Cha Yujin gave a thumbs up.

It wasn't to the extent, that people who had a distaste for joking around during the finals commented about it, but it was enough to make those who were watching feel good.

"I see~ Now, let's hear from Park Moondae. What do you think about your opponent?"

I picked up the microphone.

"He's a very talented friend... It doesn't feel real that I'm here with him."

"That was a very humble comment just now~ But for placing first... How do you see the possibility?"

I somehow knew he would ask me this question. I took a break as if to think about the answer, and then talked while slightly shaking my head.

"...I think it would be difficult... To be honest, second place is already way higher than my goal, so I'm just grateful for this."
