Did Park Moondae change his name?

I didnt like the feeling of my backbone tightening.

Anyway, I shouldnt look awkward. I immediately picked up the microphone and said.

Ive always been Park Moondae since the register of my birth.

Hahaha!

The MCs reaction was good.

This was true.

As soon as I entered this body, I took off a copy of the resident registration, the draft, and even the family relationship certificate.

I wasnt stupid, that kind of thing was only natural.

Id looked for all the factors that might cause a problem.

Park Moondae continued to live under this name, and there were no other peculiarities. Except for the high school dropout thing that he wrote down himself, he was clean.

He dropped out because of bullying, according to the suicide note.

This meant that it wasnt going to cause a problem with the debut.

But that specific confirmation of name change Something about it bothered me.

Ill have to look up the Internet as soon as I am done with this.

Oh~ they must have asked because your name is so unique!

Feeling that there was nothing more to pick, the MC immediately wrapped up the question.

I waited for the filming to end, watching the other participants being asked questions.

* * *

I just found an in-depth SNS article on the Internet.

[Im curious about what Moon Puppy had been doing, but I cant find anything. No, maybe hes an alien who changed his name]

This must have been the problem.

It was a bit of a letdown.

Since the original account owner was a famous illustrator, it quickly became a meme in a short period of time. Although it was only within the fan community.

(That makes sense!)

Since hes serious about eating, hes like an alien that has been sent to investigate the food culture of the Earth

I saw dogs ears on Moondae

It didnt matter if people laughed while making these jokes, but the situation itself raised some doubts.

Its not that I didnt expect it to not come out at all.

Park Moondaes name and date of birth were written on his profile.

To be honest, I thought his high school life would be revealed during the broadcast.

At least something like, I was in the same school, but he was a little weird. I even expected words like A child who dropped out of school after going around alone.

These statements wouldnt harm me. Rather, the fans would be relieved that I wasnt the type to bully anyone since I was such a weakling at school.

Maybe because my impression has changed a lot.

This conjecture seemed to make the most sense.

When I first came into this body, Park Moondae was skinny and had shaggy hair. In addition, a completely different person (me) came in, so the way of speaking, movement, and atmosphere would have changed.

But maybe someday a story would come out. I didnt even use an alias.

I hope it comes out after the program is over.

It would be difficult to see the smartphone until the live broadcast.

After filming the talk show, I went back to the dorm and returned the smartphone as usual.

Lets just practice hard.

Now there was only a week left until the final stage. There was no room for other thoughts.

But even if there was no room for it, if there was a problem right away, I had no choice but to think about it.

It happened shortly after I noticed this.

* * *

It was two nights later that it happened.

While I was half dozing off and stuffing dinner into my mouth, an urgent call came from the production team.

From my experience so far, I thought I would get an interview cut. However, the atmosphere in the staff room was serious.

Moondae-ssi.

The writer who cast me in the karaoke room started talking in a tone that barely sounded concerned.

On the Internet now An article came up.

Yes.

I had a bad feeling.

The writer was even choosing her words in front of me as if she didnt know how to say this.

I held out my hands, feeling a headache creeping in.

May I just look at it myself?

Um, yes.

The writer looked me up and down and handed me her phone.

I looked at the screen. A familiar interface appeared.

It was the community where controversy over Keun Sejins school bullying had been raised.

And at the top, I saw a title written in large font.

[Park Moondaes reason for dropping out of high school: got caught stealing sanitary pads]

What kind of bullshit is this?

I was stunned by the unexpected title.

It had been a long time since I felt like my head was clogged up.

I checked the contents with a brain that didnt work due to the shock.

It has been revealed that Park Moondae is a graduate of Incheon Public High School, so Ill skip the explanation. I graduated from that public high school, but Im the same age as Park Moondae. I was in class 3 with Park Moondae, and he was a gloomy weird kid. Actually, I didnt even know his name. I just knew he was Idol Inc. Park Moondae when I see him rising now.

Yes, but dont be relieved after reading this far Park Moondae dropped out after getting caught stealing sanitary pads from a girl in the class

Even the girl whose sanitary pad was stolen dropped out shortly after because it turned into a strange rumor

And there are quite a lot of people who know this? It was such a mess, I wondered if there was going to be a school riot for a while But Park Moondae dropped out and ran away!

Ill verify my graduation album and school uniform in case you dont believe me. But even if I dont do this, the people who know it will keep coming out.

Below that, there were a series of top comments by netizens who self-proclaimed to graduate from Incheon Public High School and claimed to know the case.

A chill ran down my spine.

This there was no answer.

Hitting someone or stealing money would be better than this. You stole a girls sanitary pad because you had nothing to steal?

Even if I met that kind of person in real life, I would have thought he was a hopeless bastard, but this happened to an idol audition participant.

Have you read everything?

I had read it, but I had nothing to say.

Isnt Park Moondae crazy?

Did you commit such an idiotic thing and write down in your will that you feel unfair about being bullied?

Yes, if he didnt steal it, he must have felt it was unfair. But right now, is there a way to prove that this bastard didnt steal it?

Yes.

I managed to answer.

The writer didnt uselessly mention whether it was real or not.

Youd better think about what to do right now.

She meant to take care of it myself or get off.

I swallowed my saliva and answered.

Give me a minute, Ill think about it and tell youlater.

Yes, please do it quickly.

I couldnt even speak properly.

I went back to the dorm in a state of madness. It was still time to practice, so the dorm room was empty.

I sat down on the bed because I was afraid that if I sat down on the desk, I would smash everything on the table.

And I tried to think as calmly as possible Fu*ck, it sounded troublesome.

I hit the bed.

There was a dull bam-bam sound, but it didnt relieve my anger at all.

Am I going to die like this?

What am I supposed to do with this sh*t?

You had locked me up in this flawed body while pretending it wasnt the case and patronizing me with the help of leveling up, you had pushed pressure on me to make my debut within a year; all these things do not make sense to me unless you intending to spite me.

My head hurt. I should have had that damn Unmoving Heart characteristic.

Now what do I do?

What came after anger was, ironically, a deep sense of helplessness.

There was nothing I could do. Really.

Because I didnt know anything.

If I had a smartphone, I would have searched No, this was crazy.

I wasnt going to look at public opinion, so this was how it ended.

No matter how much I lived without caring what others said, I couldnt guarantee that I would be fine after seeing an unspecified number of people mainly pouring out criticism.

Besides

Those people.

I wonder what the people who supported Park Moondae were feeling.

They spent their time and money, and would never have imagined that they would be stabbed in the back like this.

It was even more ridiculous that I didnt do it. It was driving me crazy.

It was the first time since I was an orphan that I felt so overwhelmed by the situation.

Should I give up?

Shortly after that thought crossed my mind, someone creaked open the door to the dorm room.

T-There

I thought I showed superhuman patience just by not telling them to go away now.

I didnt respond and continued to sit on the bed with my head down. It felt like my brain was boiling.

Hey, Park Moondae.

Then, the door burst open and Keun Sejin came in.

The rumors must have circulated already. It wasnt strange that the quick-witted guy noticed it first.

Are you serious about that?

I dont know.

I thought I didnt answer, but it seemed that I couldnt control my mouth due to extreme stress. That bastard responded.

Why dont you know? Are you really dropping out because of that?

Because I dont know.

I dont know why youre bothering me. Since theres only the final left anyway, isnt it better for me to get off?

You know youre talking nonsense right now, right?

I clenched my teeth.

I dont remember.

What?

F*ck. I woke up trying to commit suicide and I dont remember anything. Are you happy now?

Thud.

The sound of Seon Ahyeon, who stood awkwardly on the side, dropping the chocolate bar he was holding was loud.

I sighed. I unnecessarily told the truth.

At least, I should consider it a relief that I didnt talk about changing my body and returning to the past. Even if said that I could see the status window, I couldnt take it out, so I was either a mythomaniac or a psychopath.

No, whats the use of all that now? If I didnt solve this problem, I wouldnt be able to debut within a year.

R-R-Really

Yeah, really.

It was already difficult to stay calm, but you were making me use my energy for useless conversation.

Since you already know Leave it alone. Ill take care of it.

If you dont even remember, how can you sort it out?

Get out.

If you dont know anything, its better to have someone to discuss it with. You dont even have an agency.

That was true.

Its honestly hard to believe, but I dont think youd lie about something like this. Rumors about stealing sanitary pads are even weirder..

T-Thats right.

I dont think a quick-calculating guy like you would do such a foolish thing.

!! N-No I-I dont mean that, uh, t-thats why

Seon Ahyeon was broken. Keun Sejin ignored Seon Ahyeon.

Yeah. It would have been different if it was posted by the victim or her acquaintance. But looking at it, that doesnt seem to be the case.

My head cooled down a bit. I raised my head and looked at Keun Sejin.

Keun Sejin calmly sat on the floor on the opposite side.

I didnt know why this guy was being meddlesome.

Anyway, youre saying that youre helping me.

Still, it was surprising that it happened right before the final. I wasnt in a position to care about this right now.

First of all Lets say you dont remember this incident. Do you remember what happened in high school?

I dont remember anything about high school. When I came to my senses, there was only a suicide note in front of me.

There was silence for a while.

Did you mention anything in your suicide note?

There was no specific mention of the incident itself. There was an expression of unfairness, but thats something anyone can say at any time.

Youre so cold-hearted even to yourself.

Keun Sejin smiled helplessly.

I wanted to snort, but I couldnt afford to do so.

T-There.

Seon Ahyeon interrupted with difficulty.

T-Then F-Finding the party involved and confirming it I-Is it difficult?

You mean the girl who dropped out.

If were filming now, theres no time or chance to find it If I drop out, I dont know.

The more I spoke, the clearer the situation became.

It seemed that the survival rate was higher if I dropped out, turned off the urgent fire, and figured out the situation accurately.

D-Dont.

What?

D-Dont quit, l-lets wait a l-little bit.
