Chapter 214

Han Yeoreum didn’t simply read the story—she vividly recreated the situation from that time.

“I suddenly asked that man for his name. But this guy, not only was his face exactly my type, his voice was totally my type too.”

Now it was Yoon Hyeonjo’s turn. A voice that would make anyone fall in love at first sight. A neat and clean first love’s voice that seemed to show long eyelashes behind glasses answered.

“But what should I do. I have to go to…”

He deliberately muted the middle word. He filled the gap with “Hmm—”. It sounded both troubled and affectionate.

Either way, what was certain was that the listeners’ reactions were exploding. Even at this moment, messages were flooding in.

[This isn’t a rom-com script reading right now, is it? lol]

[The quality suddenly got so much better ㅠㅠ Could you please read more listener stories during this week’s special DJ period?]

“Huh? What does that mean? His voice is so, so good, but it keeps getting muted in the middle.”

Han Yeoreum cleanly erased the drunk voice from just before and laid down narration again.

“I’m a… but I came here because of…”

The Technical Director naturally cut out parts of Yoon Hyeonjo’s voice intermittently, making the microphone sound like it was cutting out. The listeners got a taste of the illusion that they had become first-person drunk protagonists starting their first love together.

“His words kept cutting out intermittently. Yes, I just stayed there…”

Han Yeoreum gave Yoon Hyeonjo a look. Then she first acted as Friend 1 with a different voice.

“Huh? Hey! What’s wrong with her?”

This was a section that wasn’t in the original script. Following Yoon Hyeonjo’s words to be comfortable, Han Yeoreum comfortably ad-libbed,

“She must be drunk. We should send her home. Hey! Hey! Open your eyes for a second!”

Yoon Hyeonjo acted as Friend 2 with a light tone. In an instant, a drinking scene that seemed to have become chaotic was created.

“I buried my head on the table and fell asleep. Then the next day.”

The story continued flowing like water as if transitioning scenes. This time Yoon Hyeonjo spoke like a blunt older brother.

“Hey, who told you to drink like that?”

Ahem, Han Yeoreum cleared her throat silently and produced a voice cracked from a hangover.

“Ugh, what… My head hurts…”

“Someone carried you home yesterday.”

If you listened with your eyes closed, the voices were so varied you wouldn’t know how many people were in the booth.

Even though they didn’t particularly imitate anyone or make their voices comically, with their ending treatments, pitch variations, and pacing, the two freely wielded various characters.

“At those words, I suddenly came to my senses. Even in my drunk state, I was certain of the fact that I had hugged that broad back.”

Han Yeoreum became the drunk person again,

“Hey. You’re really my ideal type.”

“Sure, sure.”

“I’m tired of doing CC stuff like this, you know?”

“Yeah. Got it. Good idea.”

“But I…! I really…!”

Yoon Hyeonjo became the first love who accepted her affectionately. The Main Writer and sub-writer listening from beyond the booth opened their mouths as they watched the flooding messages.

‘…Did they practice together beforehand?’

When one hit, the other received. The ping-pong continued too smoothly.

* * *

—If it’s you, I think it’ll be okay…!

Reporter Wi was covering her mouth with one hand while listening to the story. With her other hand, she was broadcasting in real-time.

Input: Ah shit, please just put a rom-com in the filmography… I’ll beg on my knees…

She had felt this since <Pacheci>, but Han Yeoreum had the ability to make characters that could easily become excessive appear lovable.

—Waaaaah! Waaaaah!

—What’s wrong with her?

—Waaaaaaah!

—Mom! She’s being weird!

Yoon Hyeonjo and Han Yeoreum continued a bickering sibling-like conversation. Reporter Wi pre-checked sections that would be good for clips.

—When I belatedly turned on my phone to check the missed messages, really…

When Han Yeoreum drew out her words, Yoon Hyeonjo seamlessly jumped in. This time too, the extra’s voice was convincing.

—Wow, you’re really crazy.

—Get home safely~ Let’s meet after the semester starts!

—You left your portable battery here, I’ll give it to you when we meet

The two read through the messages piled up on the phone as if exchanging them,

—And among those messages. One message that caught my eye immediately.

Then next.

—Drink in moderation next time.

Hearing Yoon Hyeonjo’s quietly admonishing words, Reporter Wi realized where she had felt this familiarity.

‘Script reading…!’

There was a reason the characters were so vivid. It was as if the two were reading through the story like a script reading.

—It was that man… It was amazing how just this one line could make my heart race like this. I quickly replied. I wanted to meet him somehow before the semester started.

The trembling Han Yeoreum was excited as if telling a friend about her romance,

—Got it, sorry… Or not? I’m sorry so come out! Let’s eat something delicious! Does this seem too pushy? Ah, what should I do.

She had the talent to sharply divide narration and dialogue within the story.

Even if the narration was excited, even if anticipation seeped through, she spoke quietly in a tone lower, while conversely the dialogue within the story was pitched slightly higher.

—After thinking for a long time, I sent exactly four characters. Let’s hang out.

The speed of connecting two different voices in one sentence was fast. As if it changed with the click of a button.

—No reply came. Like that, one hour, two hours… I kept meaninglessly turning my phone off and on repeatedly, when.

Han Yeoreum deliberately gave a moment of silence. Due to radio’s nature, if the audio was empty even for a second, listeners’ concentration would sharpen.

Buzz,

The Technical Director added a vibration sound effect.

—Hello, customer. Credit collateral loan…

—Damn it.

But what followed wasn’t the awaited contact but a mechanical loan promotion message. Yoon Hyeonjo deliberately used a stiff mechanical voice. Reporter Wi burst into laughter without realizing it.

Buzz—. The vibration sound came consecutively. The perfectly timed sound effect was artistry.

—What’s this now.

Han Yeoreum’s annoyed voice was heard, and background music was laid down. It was a song resembling a tickling spring day. Over the gently playing song,

—Yeah. I happened to have something to say anyway.

Yoon Hyeonjo’s voice continued as if it would melt it all away.

‘This drama… is interesting…’

Drama fan Reporter Wi was listening to the radio as if watching a drama’s first broadcast.

* * *

“At those words, my heart rode a roller coaster. Oh my, what? He has something to say? I instinctively realized.”

The Technical Director wearing headsets listened to Han Yeoreum’s voice while simultaneously slightly lowering the background music volume.

Along with the button sliding smoothly under his fingertips, Han Yeoreum’s voice like a resolution was heard clearly.

“This is… a green light…!”

Even when he heard that a special DJ was coming, he had muttered, “This became a headache.” He had certainly expected there would be many things he’d need to fill in.

However, throughout the radio show, he tasted the feeling of becoming a listener himself.

“Even when I first saw him, he was such a handsome man I couldn’t let him go. I felt like it would be dangerous once the semester started. I wanted to make him my boyfriend somehow before freshman life began in earnest. I called like a bulldozer. Because it was a green light! Because there was no need to hesitate!”

Han Yeoreum controlled the strength and speed of her voice well from the beginning. It was to the degree that no separate work was needed.

“Hello.”

“Let’s hang out today!”

The Technical Director naturally adjusted the volume in advance according to the voice tone changes. So that Han Yeoreum’s excited voice wouldn’t break.

“Even though I was so nervous I just said what I wanted to say right away, he answered with a laugh from the other end of the phone.”

“Okay.”

The Technical Director focused on Han Yeoreum’s mouth shape and played the next music.

The cutely bouncing music harmonized with Han Yeoreum’s characteristically bright voice, making it easy to picture a cute freshman preparing for a date.
