Moondae: darn. What am I gonna do?

*unblocks cheongryeo*

*calls cheongryeo*

Cheongryeo: well, well (evil flirtation?)

Cheongryeo: my advice? Hmm...*Gives advice*

Moondae: ...

Moondae: thank you. I will now be doing the exact opposite of what you just said. *Blocks again*

[ch400+ - SPOILER WARNING] I tried to not be too spoilery (iykyk) but this scene really made me laugh ^^

this post but make it moondae and cheongryeo

[asteriass]

I like the degree of Cheongryeo’s (outright) [From: Debut or Die] psychotic/unhinged tendencies

And I’m not strictly just referring to the full one unhinged things he does. Like, I mean just his way of carrying himself too on a “regular” basis.  He’s the type of guy who’d suddenly start laughing and then just randomly stop in the most off putting way (by that I mean he canonically does that).

The whole scene where he’s giving Moondae a car ride is amusing but also off putting, because in Moondae’s own words, “…He seemed a little psychotic” 😭. Like, the whole time they were in that car, Moondae is keeping check of the view ahead and around the car and making extra sure Cheongryeo doesn’t take his eyes off the road while driving ☠️.  Moondae did not want to be in that car lmao. Understandably so, due to the erratic nature of even Cheongryeo’s small actions:

Cheongryeo smiled and lightly tapped the steering wheel. Moondae: ‘I’d rather be the person driving.’  […] I only moved my eyes to glance at the rearview mirror but I could see Cheongryeo’s eyes staring at me. …Frankly, it was downright creepy.

Or that one point where Moondae blocked his number, and so Cheongryeo called Moondae’s company to get in contact with him again ☠️

It’s all little things, but definitely add to the fact that this man’s sanity is barely handing on lmao

[I really look forward to reading his future shenanigans in the Manhwa 💥]

Park Moondae: Should I eat the chocolate-flavored ice cream or the vanilla-flavored one?

Cheongryeo: You should eat the chocolate-flavored.

Park Moondae: *proceeds to eat the vanilla-flavored one*

Cheongryeo: *eating the chocolate-flavored ice cream*

Cheongryeo: ^^

Cheongryeo Thoughts:

I suddenly understood the sequence of how he got so fucked up under the system's influence, and it's depressing. (Spoilers below)

The reason why he's so suicidal is easy really. Without a status window, he literally didn't know Anything about his missions, and his only clue is when he fucking fails. And what happens when you fail a mission? *points at what happened to moondae*

So, imagine you try your best at being an idol, but it isn't going well. Suddenly you're overwhelmed by anxiety and have a panic attack, then shortly after a natural disaster/accident kills you. Do you understand how fucking traumatizing that is? I know for some regressions it isn't immediate, so it would be fucking agonizing. And it happens Multiple. Times. He regressed a total of 101 times. How many times were from a mission failure? And he knows what happens when you try to escape death too. So what else is he supposed to do? He can't escape death nor could he escape the loop. Simple solution, he just commits suicide when something goes wrong. That way there's no pain, no anxiety, no unknowns. Over time this corrupted him. He regresses at every little failure. Everything in his life became focused on being the perfect idol. The perfect career. There must be no mishaps. Troublesome things must be dealt with. Human lives become as flimsy as paper in the path to success. He truly became The embodiment of an idol. Always regressing for that one perfect idol career.

But he's human. He loves dogs. He likes being an idol. And it's the reminder that he's human that gets him out of the loop. Moondae (gunwoo) corrects his mentality in the 100th round. That he was right (and wrong) about Ju Dan. That he can have people that believe him and help him. That sometimes having a rival is what makes you grow, instead of nipping them in the bud. That he can raise a dog again and not worry about mixing up their name or breed. That there is a life without status abnormality. And so Shin Jaehyun overcame the status abnormality in the 101st round.

Edit: Turns out 101 wasn't the end, but his experiences in 100th round allow his subconscious to slowly find a way to finish all his missions. Which does make cheongryeo even more tragic, sadly.

[fangirlingmoments]

Can't get over how moondae and cheongryeo decided it was a good idea to discuss their transmigration matters in the open with many people around them during an award show because "the music is too loud for them to hear anyways".

“Cheongryeo.”

A quiet voice rang out inside the room making the two men arguing stop. The two had been arguing about making Park Moondae regress. They didn’t raise their voice but the possibility of that person overhearing was still high.

“What is it _____? Is someone looking for me?”

_____, the main rapper and visuals of VTIC. He is also someone who has been a constant member of the group since Cheongryeo’s first timeline.

“Cheongryeo.”

His voice sounded as if they had been carrying the weight of the world. It was so quiet, almost as if he was whispering the name for the wind to carry.

“Shin Jaehyeon. I’m tired.”

This shocked both men. VTIC’s main rapper was known to be someone optimistic. He may not be bright and bubbly like Chaeyul, but they have never seen such a crestfallen expression on his face.

“What is it, hmm? Do you want me to ask them to lessen your activities? I think we can remove some of your solo activities.”

Cheongryeo tries to appease _____. Moondae might even dare say he can hear a twinge of panic from the regressor’s voice. The earlier episode of his reset syndrome seems to evaporate.

“That’s not it…”

_____ looked at the ground. As he did the two other men saw the tears falling from his face. Both Moondae and Cheongryeo don’t know what to do. They don’t even know what’s happening to the rapper.

VTIC’s leader opted to squeeze the rapper’s hand. Encouraging him to say what’s wrong.

“More than a hundred. It’s been more than a hundred times…”

The two system holders have an idea of what _____ is talking about. However, they seem to be in denial.

“Jaehyeon-hyung please stop. I’m tired. I’m tired of regressing after hundreds of times.”

No one can see his face, but they can see the tears continue to fall on the ground.

“Our group this time is good. Sure Bihan got into a scandal but we’re established so we can surely get back from it.”

Amidst the chaos brewing in Cheongryeo’s mind, he could feel _____ squeeze his hand back.

“Hyung I’m tired. I’m tired of always fearing I’ll wake up and be back to where I was before debuting.”

_____ finally lifted his head. As he did everyone could see his red eyes and cheeks marred with tears.

“Shin Jaehyeon-hyung please stop this. Don’t convince Moondae-nim to reset. He even told you he couldn’t.”

The tired and heartbroken expression on the man’s face made both Moondae and Cheongryeo swallow the questions they had. He looks so sick and tired of everything that they couldn’t ask for anything.

How much did you hear?

Why do you regress with Cheongryeo?

Do you have missions too?

How long have you known?

Why haven’t you said anything?

Those were some of the questions on the tip of their tongues. Questions they can’t dare ask right now. Not when the man they have to seek answers from is so vulnerable.

However, Shin Jaehyeon managed to ask one question.

“How long have you been suffering?”

_____ didn’t answer. He only shook his head.

Despite his question not being answered, VTIC’s leader has come to a realization. He may have wanted each regression. Obsessed with it. But it’s different for _____. The poor man was just collateral damage. Cheongryeo is surprised he hasn’t lost his mind yet.

So he decided to stop.

To put an end to this.

_____ was right. Their group this time is good. There’s no need to get hung up on a vocalist getting into a scandal.

Moondae was right. There are a lot of things in this timeline that he will miss. A lot of things he will not be able to recreate even if he regresses.

They were right. It’s fine even if this timeline isn’t perfect. That doesn’t make it any precious.

“I’ll stop. I promise to stop. I’m sorry for dragging you through all that for so long.”

Cheongryeo hugged the one constant in his every regression. The one who doesn’t change no matter what route he decides to take.

“I’ll let you rest. I promise.”

[moondaepuppy]
