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

Chapter 177

Whether I viewed Chungryeo as a top-tier competitor sunbae in the same industry or as a lunatic with reset syndrome, he was definitely not the person I wanted to be in contact with on the first day of vacation.

'Should I ignore it?'

The temptation to do that was intense.

...However, unlike usual, the fact that it wasn't a text message bothered me.

'He could've messaged me but is calling me instead.'

If it was an emergency, it would be more bothersome not to pick it up.

For example... some problems related to the composer.

'Let's have a fucking rest.'

I finally sighed and answered the phone.

"Hello."

- Ah, hoobae-nim. I'm sorry, but you're on vacation, right?

This bastard saw my status message and had to call me.

"...Yes. I was given a vacation."

- Then, you must be at your dorm.

For some reason, I had a gut feeling that I would face a very annoying situation if I agreed.

I changed my words.

"I'm about to leave now. I thought about going to the countryside to rest."

- Is that so? Then, can I have some of your time now?

"Yes?"

The moment I wondered what kind of nonsense he was saying, he immediately attached an explanation.

- Ah, I'm filming right now.

"...!"

- Um... it's KBC's <Instant Roadmap> and the keyword 'a close hoobae' came up for the location recommendation.

<Instant Roadmap>. It was a project where you travel around Korea for half a day through a lottery filled with viewer requests.

In short, it was a random travel diary.

And it was a program that was consistently popular enough to be chosen by VTIC, who was about to make a comeback.

'I heard that some of the content invites acquaintances to participate on the spot. Is this about that?'

It seems I was the most well-known among the guys he thought would be available, but I had no intentions of working on the first day of vacation.

Especially with this guy.

Of course, I couldn't express my displeasure while the filming tape was running, so I said it in a roundabout way.

"Uh... I'm really thankful, sunbae-nim. I must leave very soon... so there's very little time. What to do?"

As I spoke in a moderately regretful tone, a troubled voice returned from the other side of the phone.

- I contacted Moondae-ssi since you're just nearby... Can't you spare just a little bit of time? You just need to draw a lottery once.
