Disclosure of the 7th level.
It was the very test that I failed the 3rd interview at the last minute while living as Ryu Gunwoo. Doing so immediately reminded me of the life of exams that would take several years of my life.
But why did this suddenly appear in this situation with an abnormal condition?
'Is it crazy?'
It didn't even show for me.
[Collection of reward]
This still popped up for me. So, that bizarre condition… Judging from the fact that it only appeared when the resonance of 'Park Moondae' called it, it seemed to belong to him.
'Then it would have to give me stats. Why are the stats not appearing again?'
I questioned, holding back the double desire that was about to come out of my mouth.
"… When did it come up?"
[Hyung, on the day you bought the lottery ticket, I remembered how you called the status window… I called it again the next day… … .]
Damn.
'Did he see that?'
He was asking now because he couldn't ask earlier due to the atmosphere.
[Come to think of it, that 'receiving the reward' is… Have you ever done something like this?]
Well, it was similar.
However, with no answer, the resonance continued to speak without a break, as if pouring out words he hadn't been able to say before.
[I bought an officetel, but was it right to buy this… ? Would the monthly rent be better? And something really strange happened…]
In addition to the state of death if he failed to pass the public notice, quite a lot of shocking things must have happened to 'Park Moondae', who lived in my body for the past few months.
And this was the last one.
- Re-listing! Idol Co., Ltd. ┃ Moon Puppy's Moondae's Moments ☆
[Excuse me! It's me, right??]
"… …"
His body was participating in an idol survival program.
'Was it the same timeline after all…'
It seemed that the past of the same world where I lived in the body of Park Moondae was correct here. I silently endured the highlights of Park Moondae on the screen.
[I tried to contact him somehow, but there was no place to contact…]
Yes, I guess. Because he was also disconnected from smartphones.
When I saw the chicken feet mukbang, I felt complicated.
'At that time… That's how I lived.'
I struggled to open my mouth.
"That's me."
[… ?? Hyung, maybe I am misunderstanding…]
"No, you are right."
I held back a sigh.
"I lived in your body."
[Uh… Uh, huh??]
I was sorry to the guy who freaked out at the status window, but it was an explanation that would go ahead anyway.
Sitting on the sofa in the living room, I slowly began to recite what had happened to me.
It wasn't difficult. It was easy to summarize.
After a while, the resonance exclaimed.
[That, so… Hyung became an idol with my body!? Because if you don't become an idol, you'll die?]
Yes, that was it.
The resonance rang like mad.
[Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, really! He was too cool to be me!]
Was he serious?
He knew how to say it in a euphemistic way. I also knew my broadcast image around this time. It was okay to say that I looked like an idiot.
[So, then, when you suddenly opened your eyes right at the point where you were about to take the grand prize, you were here, right?]
"Yes. But right now, that probably doesn't matter."
[What… ?]
I spoke grimly.
"Look at your case. If you really don't pass the public notice, you could die."
[…]
I didn't know if the resonance could swallow saliva, but it felt roughly the same.
[That, I see.]
Surprisingly calm.
[Actually… I didn't know, so I bought some problems and studied them. I don't know… … ]
Was it desperation?
'I'm going to have to design this as soon as possible…'
After thinking for a while, I opened my mouth.
"Listen. First of all, look at the text on the hologram from earlier."
The name of the status abnormality that popped up was 'Death if you don't pass!' However, if I looked closely at the explanation, I could see an escape route.
-If you do not receive a score report without errors in the first written test of the 'Level 7 open competitive recruitment test', death
Exactly this topic.
"Failure, not passing, is the criterion."
[… Oh!]
"You just need to get over 40 points in each subject on your report card."
And seeing that '(1)' was added after the status abnormality, this status abnormality was probably not the end. The first pass should be around the next condition.
Right now, it added persuasiveness to the logic of 'just avoid failing'… In the long run, it was a death marathon.
"What month is it now?"
[Um, it's April…]
The first test was in July. Only 3 months left.
'Why is this…'
Who made it a mistake for not passing the civil service exam? I gritted my teeth.
'It would be more comfortable if I could see it.'
The problem seemed to be every time I slept, I'd wake up a few months later, so if I continued from this period, the exam would be over.
And if I was certain that this status abnormality belonged to 'Park Moondae', then Park Moondae…
"… …"
I couldn't. I spoke out.
"I'd rather go to a boarding school."
[What??]
It depended on the facilities and instructors, but there were high-end boarding academies that allowed you to study without worrying about anything else if you put roughly 200 per month.
What would happen if I put all the remaining money in future options related to stocks I knew and went in and studied?
"Anyway, if the next status abnormality appears as a passing condition… A boarding school is the most efficient option."
Wasn't boarding school better than dying?
[W-will there be another one??]
"I guess."
[Uhhhh…]
It depended on where the criteria were.
If the memory of 'Park Moondae' was the center… Judging from what he said, it seemed like I had returned to the past about six years, so there would be around 7 status abnormalities.
'It's hell.'
Even after being hired, it wouldn't be surprising if a promotion or performance appraisal came next.
If I slightly changed it… What if I took a 'conversation with Park Moondae' as a reward and it was retroactively applied that the missing guy would come into my body and live?
'Then… It's the same standard as when I won the grand prize.'
Still, there'd be about five. I held back a sigh.
Of course, I couldn't be sure because I didn't know how it would be applied, but the important thing was that I was a high school student.
7 status abnormalities or 5?
'Fuck…'
I held my breath and sat down in front of the PC. Then, I opened the page and searched for civil service exam lectures.
[202X Public Official D-100 All-in-One Package OPEN!]
"First, cut off the toughness…"
No, wait.
When I saw the advertising banner floating in front of my eyes, something flashed.
Okay.
'I must have solved the previous year's papers… !'
It was the latest draft from the time I focused on disclosure the most. I definitely remember organizing it as I entered the online lecture.
"… …"
I grabbed the mouse again.
And the resonance began to hum like a confession.
[Hyung, I… I haven't studied much since I came out of high school… …]
"No, it's okay."
[What??]
I called up the PDF file of the workbook that this guy had received from the desktop.
And after taking a look, I laughed.
I remembered.
"I'll take a picture of what will come out, so study it as it is."
[… !!]
I think he could go to boarding school next year. This year, I would take all the pictures, so there wouldn't be any consequences.
… Of course, assuming that this guy had basic reading comprehension.
'It would be over without it.'
Amazing results were waiting.
• * *
[So, number 3… ?]
"… … ."
I nodded.
"Correct."
[Yaah!!]
As a result of turning it around, this guy's brain was fine.
No, it wasn't good enough… Basic comprehension itself was good. To the extent that I would have thought that if he had continued to go to high school, he would have done well on the CSAT.
'I think his memorization skills are lacking, but the PSAT isn't a memorization test anyway, so it doesn't matter.'
In addition, since the previous exams in my memory had been combined, it meant that he would pass the first exam easily.
I slammed the problem book that I had finished checking. I searched for all similar types and checked them.
"It'll be fine if you go at this pace for three months."
[I, really?]
"Yes."
If he clung to death, he would avoid mistakes.
[…]
The resonance seemed hesitant, but soon it hummed with a lower trembling wave than before.
[Yeah, actually, this is a shortcut. Because I'm receiving what hyung studied… …]
It was surprising that he had the spirit to even consider such ethical considerations, so I kept my mouth shut.
It was because I felt like I was soaked in emotion from him.
[But I'm really happy that I can do it. Thank you… … …]
"… It's mutual aid."
Because I became an idol with his body.
When I said that, the resonance jumped out with a little bit of excitement.
[That! Can I watch that? Hyung in
"… …"
Did we have to?
However, since he studied for almost 10 hours, it would be good to give him something.
'Is it fun because he's on TV?'
I changed the PC screen without talking and accessed WeTube…
-The past of Park Moondae, the controversy over sanitary pads?
I almost jumped off the sofa for a moment, but it soon subsided.
All I saw was the latest video recommendation. The case of voluntarily dropping out of
'That must have been today.'
As it turned out, the date was just right. I was sweating.
Anyway, it was a problem that would be solved by the person concerned coming up in the morning. Now I didn't need to feel different emotions again.
But this guy was the problem.
[That, that… … I… … …]
"I know it isn't your fault. It's all sorted out, so don't worry."
'Park Moondae' was in a very shocking situation.
It would be upsetting to suddenly have your private life publicly exposed. It could be scary.
"… Sorry. It must have happened because I went to a survival show without your consent."
It was said that I was trying to avoid sudden death, but that may not be known to the person concerned. But the resonance was scared.
[N-no! Me too… I came into my hyung's body and I'm getting help like this…]
The resonance trembled uneasily.
[However… What if hyung can't debut because of me…]
"I did."
I had already done it, so what was he talking about?
But what this guy was thinking, there was no answer for a while.
And it wasn't until I started preparing the meal that he suddenly started humming again.
[I… I think I can try contacting her!]
What?
[I don't remember the number, but… I have that friend's email address!]
"… !"
[I emailed several times because of a group meeting… It would definitely still be there.]
Right.
The two seemed to have gotten along very well, so there were likely to be traces of that much.
But did he need to?
Anyway, she would notice this morning and post an explanation. I'd rather not do anything suspicious…
'Wait a minute.'
… No way.
I hurriedly recalled the past.
-I didn't do anything, but suddenly things got this good?
It was strange even then. I didn't think everything could magically work out this quickly.
And if now was the same timeline as then…
"… …"
I finally nodded.
"Where is her email?"
[… ! I-in the shortcuts section… !]
Following his words, I left a rather long email to the friend.
It was an earnest request filled with concerns, regards, apologies, and regrets.
It could have been done more effectively, but I didn't bother. I just made sure there were no inappropriate remarks.
And re-reading the contents, I intuitively realized that this friend had written the explanation after reading the email.
'The vocabulary overlaps.'
It was obvious that word choice was affected.
In the end, thanks to this email, an explanation was posted.
[I want to send it like this…]
"… Okay."
I pressed send mail and was overcome with a strange feeling.
The idea at the time was right. Things didn't get better all of a sudden.
It was just that someone specifically worked on it.
So, goodwill was good.
That night, I admitted while lying in an unfamiliar bed.
"Thanks. Thank you for sending the email."
[No. It's only natural…]
After saying thank you, the resonance rang gloomy.
[I made you get caught up in something strange… sorry.]
"But you're the one who has to take that 7th level exam in 3 months?"
[Oooh.]
Yes. He needed to worry about himself. I smiled bitterly and threw my smartphone away.
[Um, hyung. If you fall asleep…]
"So I'm not going to sleep either."
[Ah… Yes!]
The resonance became a little lighter. He must have been afraid that I wouldn't wake up again for a few more months.
"Looking at the pattern, it seems like I will definitely come back, so don't worry if I'm gone, and prepare well for the exam."
[… Yes.]
I looked at my watch and had a meaningless chat with him.
The clock moved steadily.
-11:55.
And the moment the minute hand pointed to 12 o'clock…
I fell asleep naturally.
• * *
When I opened my eyes again, it was morning again.
'Am I going to fall asleep no matter what when the day goes by?'
I couldn't stand not sleeping. I clicked my tongue inwardly.
Then I heard a scream similar to the previous morning.
[Ah! Hyung! Hyung, are you here??]
"Yes."
Judging from the sleeveless outfit, it must have been a while again. I held my breath and got up.
And all of a sudden, the resonance poured in.
[I took the test! I didn't get a penalty… There were no mistakes!]
Seeing that we could have a conversation, that seemed to be the case.
"Yes. Good job."
[… ! Yes!]
The resonance seemed happy, but soon calmed down.
[But again, a status abnormality popped up… Ah, before that, that, I had a schedule today…]
"Schedule?"
[Well, it's displayed on the smartphone alarm… …]
No wonder his voice was getting quieter. I wasn't going to mention it myself.
'Did he really think I would scold him for not registering at a boarding school and playing around?'
That wouldn't be more urgent than a status abnormality.
I got up with a smile and picked up my phone. And I immediately checked the alarm name.
- Appearance at TeStar Festival at 2:30 pm
"… … ?"
[I… Can't we go there?]
I wanted to hear from the beginning what the hell was going on.
