I frequently checked my status window. Every time I visited the fan cafe, I habitually took in the status window as well.
[Name: Han Yeoreum]
Level: 1.41 million
Title: Dokgo Min’s Muse / So Yesol’s Muse / Iconic Rookie / Pi Chaewon / Method Acting Rookie / Real Beauty / Seo Ryeong / Nation’s First Love 【<< NEW!!!</p】
I finally obtained the title ‘Nation’s First Love’. In this era where no actor has earned the title ‘Nation’s’ due to the lack of hit works that could captivate various age groups.
Taking ‘First Love’ of all things comes with quite significant benefits.

“You’re really the nation’s first love, actress. You’re much prettier in person.”
“Oh my. Aren’t you praising me too much?”
“I’m just stating facts! Everyone will call you the nation’s first love now, so get used to it early.”
That’s right. I’ve now even earned the title of nation’s first love… I naturally put strength into the corners of my mouth at the title that now naturally attached to my name.
Actress. That’s right, everyone! I am your nation’s actress Han Yeoreum, who only has better things ahead of her…
“Yeoreum, that smile is great! Just like that! Hold it a bit longer!”
Click-! Click-! Click-!
Under the brightly lit lights, I held the product and smiled.
“Wow, it suits you so well! Okay! More, more, more! Let’s smile brightly!”
Summer would love this, right? Because what I’m holding right now is none other than the product that best suits the nickname ‘Baby Melon Bread’ that my Summer gave me.
“We’ll quickly film one Yusta upload video before we go! Yeoreum, make the brand logo a bit more visible!”
What I’m holding right now is the sequel to the masterpiece called Bangre’s banana milk – Melony milk.
* * *
-Director! You’re home today, right?
“Uh… Who is this?”
The voice coming through the receiver sounded extremely excited. The Lighting Director was a bit surprised by the sudden contact.
It was a call from someone he didn’t have enough of a relationship with to exchange personal contacts like this.
-It’s Yeoreum!
The Lighting Director had such a shy personality that all he managed during the wrap party of 【Strange Tales】 was to offer words of encouragement.
“We had a conversation between us.”
“Huh? What conversation?”
“Back then, about which agency Yeoreum would probably join.”
He felt like he had said something unnecessarily embarrassing. As he waited briefly in front of the house, a familiar car stopped in front of him.
“Director!”
Yeoreum got out of the car. Carrying two large boxes.
“Uh… Yeoreum, it’s been a while… What’s all this?”
“What do you mean! I filmed an advertisement! This is Melony milk, a new product coming out next month, and I’m giving it to you first. And this is just melons. I bought them separately.”
Han Yeoreum handed over the box with melons drawn on it. The Lighting Director, who received it unexpectedly, was surprised by its weight.
“This is for me?”
“I remembered that you said you liked them.”
“Huh? I did?”
“Back during the 【Pachehi】 company dinner.”
The Lighting Director tried to recall for a moment. What he had said during the chaotic atmosphere when Han Yeoreum and Ju Junseo brought ice cream.
“Ah!!! My melon!!!”
“I’m getting old so I need to eat soft things!”
“Chocolate flavor! Chocolate flavor is mine!”
“You remembered that all this time?”
The Lighting Director’s nose started to tingle. Han Yeoreum smiled as if it was nothing special.
“Please make sure to mention this as a heartwarming Han Yeoreum story later. At award ceremonies and such.”
“Really now… Alright. Thank you.”
“Then I’ll be going now!”
“Another schedule?”
“I have to go to band practice. Well then, see you at the 【Youth Disqualified!】 filming set-.”
Han Yeoreum left the two boxes of ice cream and milk and quickly departed, as if she had really come just for this.
The Lighting Director chuckled as he watched the disappearing car.
“Really is youth…”
He recalled Han Yeoreum fluttering her yellow skirt by the golden riverside.
How much will she sparkle this time? He found himself looking forward to it.
“Good. Then shall I try to win another lighting award…”
Above his head, the street light turned on. It was a very bright light.
* * *
“Hey! Han Yeoreum!”
“Wait. I have something to say.”
“…What is it?”
“Don’t call me that anymore.”
As soon as I entered the practice room, I said coldly to Chu Gaeul who jumped up.
“…Why are you like this. Because I called you by your full name…?”
Chu Gaeul’s voice, which seemed like it could pierce even soundproof walls, gradually became smaller. I seriously shook my head.
“From now on, respectfully call me Baby Melon Bread. I’m a nationally certified Baby Melon Bread.”
“Are you kidding! Hey!”
“Dami-. Try drinking this. It’s a new product coming out, and I’m giving it to you guys first?”
“Wow-. I’m touched…”
Strictly speaking, it wasn’t exactly first, but let’s say it was. I inserted a straw and handed one to Dami, then quickly put a straw in Chu Gaeul’s mouth too.
“What time is it now and you’re making me eat sugar! I’m currently restricting sugar intake…”
“It’s delicious, right?”
“Mmm…”
Good. I thought I’d get scolded for about an hour for that spoiler incident earlier, but I can wrap this up in 15 minutes with this.
I quietly watched the two people holding light green milk in their hands, then put on the guitar I brought.
“Ah, this reminds me of 【Pachehi】. I did this with Senior Ju Junseo in the auditorium.”
“Come to think of it, all three of us debuted with Writer Pi’s works.”
“Wow. Really! When we master our song later, let’s invite Writer Pi.”
As we were casually warming up, the conversation started to drift off track again.
“Come to think of it, Senior Officer Ju Junseo can really play drums.”
“…So? Don’t tell me you want to kick me out and bring in that senior?”
“Gaeul, there’s no way that would happen. But it might be good to call him over for some guidance.”
Dami looked at Gaeul with clear eyes.
“Honestly, if it’s just us appearing on screen all the time, it might get a bit boring for a vlog, and if we briefly show his flower-like face, the view count would…”
Being around those broadcasting station folks all the time has really opened up her mind in that direction. Our Dami has grown up so much. I nodded.
“Just appearing for about 5 minutes could easily get us 70,000 views.”
The 【Youth Disqualified!】 staff member in the distance was smiling very brightly too. Even drawing circles above their head.
“Anyway! Let’s start with the ensemble first! Han Yeoreum, you practiced properly, right?”
Chu Gaeul, whose hands had turned red from holding the drumsticks for so long, looked at me. I smiled and nodded.
“Of course.”
* * *
“Aaahhh….”
“Ensemble is hard….”
So Dami looked at the two people sprawled on the Practice Room floor and helped them up one by one.
“Come on, again. I’ll keep the beat for you, so from the da-da-dan da- part again.”
“Dami, Dami wait a minute….”
“Hey! So Dami! Aren’t you tired?”
Among the three, only So Dami had mastered the sheet music. It was also a hit song she had played a few times before, and after warming up a few times, she could play it easily.
“Then shall we rest for exactly 5 minutes?”
“10 minutes…. Let’s rest for 10 minutes.”
“Okay. Then let’s rest for just 1 minute.”
“We’ll rest for 5 minutes thank you so much.”
Yeoreum lay down on the floor as she was, and Gaeul gulped down melon-flavored milk as if she had never cared about sugar before.
And Dami checked her cell phone for a moment.
“…Yeoreum.”
“Yeah?”
“The awards ceremony lineup just came out…!”
Gaeul, who had been drinking milk, suddenly sat right next to her.
“SBC 【Dohwasuhn】…. Rookie Award! Chu Gaeul, me, I’m there! Me!”
Gaeul, who had been worried about her well-styled hair getting messy, shook her head frantically left and right as if she couldn’t believe reality.
“No no no. This isn’t a dream, right….”
“What about me?”
Before she knew it, Yeoreum had also come over. Dami scrolled down.
Han Yeoreum was nominated for the KBC Rookie Award and the Hongsang Arts Festival Young Theater Artist Award.
“And… Best Couple Award.”
Yeoreum’s face went pale.
“Hey, Han Yeoreum… what do we do about this….”
“Wow….”
Dami and Gaeul were speechless. There couldn’t be a more fierce Best Couple Award lineup than this.
[Best Couple Award]
[Myeong Jeha Han Yeoreum 【The Great Garland】]
[Ji Haebeom Eun Baekhap 【The Great Garland】]
[Shin Seojin Eun Baekhap 【The Great Garland】]
“Ugh… what is this….”
There were a total of five Best Couple Award candidates. 【The Great Garland】 took three of them. It was KBC’s bold choice to milk the buzz from 【The Great Garland】, which was currently in the middle of a war over the ‘real love’ controversy about whether Taejin or Taeseok was Huijae’s true love.
