Chapter 315

An Junmyeong stared intently at Han Yeoreum.

‘That girl…’

Han Yeoreum saw Eun Baekhap walking over and pretended not to notice, running straight to Director Ja.

“Director, please give 100,000 won pocket money to whoever comes back fastest on the paddle boat!”

“Hmm…”

“Even 50,000 won would be fine…”

Her scheme to beg for an impromptu competition was obvious. The staff members around Han Yeoreum caught wind of it and cheered enthusiastically.

“Let’s go for 1 million won!”

“Let’s go, let’s go! Let’s go big this time!”

“What? What’s happening?”

“The director says he’ll give pocket money if you’re good at paddle boating!”

“Woooow!”

The situation kept escalating. Director Ja pointed at Eun Baekhap, who was standing at a distance, unable to mix in with the staff.

“Okay, then let’s have Huijae go first! I’m betting 1 million won prize money!”

“Di! Rec! Tor!”

“Di! Rec! Tor!”

Eun Baekhap, who had never participated in such a ridiculous competition before, froze stiffly. Han Yeoreum quickly ran over and dragged Eun Baekhap along.

“Let’s go!”

“…Let go…”

Han Yeoreum whispered something into the awkward Eun Baekhap’s ear. After hearing those words, Eun Baekhap strode purposefully toward where the boats were.

She looked so determined that anyone would think she was attending national team tryouts, like an athlete who had devoted her entire life to paddle boating.

“Ready-!”

Eun Baekhap in the boat gripped the oars solemnly.

“Set-.”

Han Yeoreum was still smiling brightly.

“Go!”

As soon as Director Ja’s words fell, Eun Baekhap started rowing.

“Usually… shouldn’t there be splashing sounds?”

“Right…”

The surrounding staff members were too busy being amazed. Eun Baekhap was already far out there with explosive sounds as the water surface burst.

Like CG effects, water sprayed up like fountains on both sides of Eun Baekhap.

“I guess Baekhap’s hobby was paddle boating…”

“She’s going so smoothly…”

“There goes 1 million won, man.”

By the time Han Yeoreum touched the buoy, Eun Baekhap had already returned to the starting point. Director Ja patted the shoulder of the panting Eun Baekhap, whose hair had come completely undone.

“1 million won winner.”

* * *

As expected, a top actress from the greenhouse.

‘Easy.’

Just scratch her a little and she did everything herself. Today’s MVP was none other than Eun Baekhap.

Since no one thought Eun Baekhap would get along and play with the staff like this, the atmosphere loosened up even better.

‘They thought she’d only hang out with her own staff.’

Eun Baekhap had just spent appropriate time at 【The Great Garland】’s wrap party before leaving. When such an Eun Baekhap participated actively, the staff responded properly too.

Thanks to the excited atmosphere, even after the paddle boat betting ended, the competitions continued endlessly.

Next was who could hold their breath underwater the longest.

“Writer An said that actors without patience are a bit… you know…”

…I whispered to Eun Baekhap with a smile, and she set a miraculous record like a Jeju Island female diver.

Next was who could jump the highest when taking jump shots.

“Writer An said that actors who can’t use their bodies well are a bit… you know…”

…I whispered to Eun Baekhap with a smile, and she jumped so high she went out of frame. The Camera Director took off his sunglasses and doubted his eyes.

Next was finding pretty shells.

“Writer An said that actors without aesthetic sense are a bit… you know…”

…I whispered to Eun Baekhap with a smile, and she dug a pit big enough for three people to fit in. Eun Baekhap found perfect shells that looked like they belonged in a museum.

And finally, drinking mango juice quickly.

Ji Haebeom, who came out after sleeping in late, was the host of this final competition. He generously put up 5 million won as prize money.

I solemnly held up a large glass. Eun Baekhap, who had won every competition, looked pale. She seemed utterly exhausted.

But Writer An was still standing with her arms crossed, watching such an Eun Baekhap.

Let me bring out the magic incantation.

“Writer An said that actors who can’t resolve to embarrass themselves are a bit… you know…”

After that, there was nothing to see. Eun Baekhap didn’t even drink the mango juice. She poured it into her mouth making gulping sounds.

The staff members who had been aiming for the 5 million won, determined to win this one, sensed defeat.

Thud!

“…First place…”

The surroundings fell quiet for a moment. And exactly 3 seconds later.

“Waaaah!”

“Eun Baekhap is crazy!”

Eun Baekhap wiped her mango juice-stained mouth with wet wipes and said with a tired face like a father coming home from work.

“Today’s prize money… plus 5 million more from my own pocket. Please use it all at the duty-free shop…”

The venue filled with warm emotion. Everyone shouted Eun Baekhap’s name. I quietly sat down next to Writer An.

“Wow… Amazing… Getting along well with staff and her attitude changed too. Truly the best senior. South Korea’s top actress. 500 million stars. If it were me, I’d definitely give her the next synopsis.”

Writer An stretched both sides of my cheeks.

“Look at this, look at this, I told you not to say anything but look at that brain working?”

“Ahahyo…”

Eun Baekhap was now being dragged around to each staff table. Even trying hard to control her facial expressions didn’t seem easy.

However, Eun Baekhap was no longer just a top actress.

She was our father figure who had extorted money disguised as prize money from Director Ja, Writer An, Shin Seojin, Myeong Jeha, and Ji Haebeom respectively, taking responsibility for the duty-free shop.

“You’ve gotten close.”

“Since it wasn’t just given freely, the impact is different. She worked hard to earn it. Ahhh. Writer! I’m ahahyo.”

“Oh my. Touching it, this texture is quite…”

Writer An repeated pulling and releasing my cheeks several times. I felt a stinging gaze. Eun Baekhap was glaring at this spot.

It felt like a look saying ‘I did all the dirty work and now that crazy girl is…’

As expected, a top actress is different. She conveys all emotions with her eyes.

“I’ll head in first today.”

Eun Baekhap got up from her seat. It seemed she couldn’t approach Writer An first due to her pride.

‘Hey… Eun Baekhap, you fool…’

When the atmosphere is this good, you should approach Writer An again. I’ve set up everything. If you say that now, wouldn’t Writer An reconsider? This greenhouse top actress. Don’t go! Eun Baekhap, don’t go!

But my inner screams didn’t reach her as Eun Baekhap disappeared at an amazing speed.

‘Just wait and see…’

Still, I’ll definitely work with you on the next project…

* * *

Bang!

As soon as Eun Baekhap returned to her private room, she filled the bathtub with warm water. She added rose-scented bubble bath and bath bomb with ylang-ylang oil, then sprayed lots of perfume on her robe.

“Aaah! Damn it!”

Eun Baekhap washed her face angrily, thinking about how excessively she got swept up today.

‘From the middle… I knew but couldn’t help it…’

Once she won first place, she didn’t want to lose it so she tried even harder.

“My head’s going to split, damn…”

Eun Baekhap sank into the bathtub and picked up her cell phone to play classical music.

[Unnie ㅠㅠ why did you go in first]

Eun Baekhap’s oblivious coordinator gave a vivid play-by-play of the drinking party that was still going on, even though no one had asked.

According to her, when Eun Baekhap left, Han Yeoreum was now leading drinking games with 100,000 won prize money per round.

“This fucking kid knows how to spend money? She’s so good at showing off…”

She shrewdly managed efficiency with 100,000 won per round instead of 1 million won per room. It seemed like she planned to slip spending money to as many staff members as possible.

“Aaah! So annoying!”

Somehow she felt deceived. In her furious state, Eun Baekhap loosened her trapezius muscles with a premium fascia gua sha, removed the heat from her face with a cooling ice roller massager, then applied a collagen wrapping gel mask before falling asleep.

Eun Baekhap dreamed of Han Yeoreum running toward her in the white lily flower garden of 【Eun Baekhap World】, chomping on a mango and wagging her tail. As of yesterday, mango had become Eun Baekhap’s most hated fruit.

A combination of something she hated with something else she hated – it was terrible.

“This is fucking… is this a dog dream or a nightmare…”

Eun Baekhap muttered as she opened her eyes before her alarm even went off.

Bang bang bang. Bang bang bang bang.

“Senior! Are you awake? Sen-ior-!”

At the noise coming from outside her door, Eun Baekhap wanted to just pass out instead.

“She’s here again, that crazy thing…”

* * *

IP 85.152 was quietly staring into space. The final scene of 【The Great Garland】 still came to mind.

The blue seaside surrounded by sparkles. Taeseok and Huijae facing each other in front of it.

“Hah…”

She couldn’t escape from her over-immersion. There weren’t just one or two people like IP 85.152. It continued even after the series ended.

Right now, 【The Great Garland】 gallery was, in a word, overflowing. Posts were flooding in.

[The Great Grandeur Gallery]

[Is that guy who tore up Taejin’s photocard last time still here? Truly legendary stupid behavior]

[KBC Great Garland popup 2nd round petition day 16]

[—–사위싸움 샷따내려—–]

[When will Huijae’s reed organ version from the ending be released? I need to put this on repeat]

[What I really loved about Taeseok until the very end was]

[Yes Yeonhuijae was a god-tier character to the end right? Yes Yeonhuijae was a god-tier character to the end right? Yes Yeonhuijae was a god-tier character to the end right?]

Dozens of posts were being uploaded every second. IP 85.152 hurriedly saved quality posts to the featured section so they wouldn’t get swept away.

Even though the drama ended, the fangirling didn’t end. Rather, the gallery became more active as if this was just the beginning.

Under IP 85.152’s touch, screenshot GIFs, wallpaper images, and quality analysis posts were neatly organized.

[Speaking as someone with Level 1 Chinese character certification about the subtitles in the final episode ending]

It should properly be written as but they wrote

Guard and wait

Since he spent half his life waiting for Huijae, now he’ll spend all his remaining life protecting Huijae

ㅇㅇ(3.131) Ah… Father… I finally understand now…

Anonymous (12.777) This psycho is fucking crazy ㅠㅠㅠㅠ

ㄴㅇㅇ(8.24) Is Director Jagagat your friend? From now on, call him father

Yeah (28.12) this is it, Chinese character level 1 certification really has a different class to it yeah ㅋㅋㅋ

Everyone had so much to say that despite it being dawn, the activity was remarkable.

Reasons why Taejin was true love, reasons why Taeseok was true love, Huijae’s journey from child actor to adult, foreshadowing laid before the final episode, direction and OST, anticipation for the upcoming Blu-ray, the script book release date and curiosity about whether popup stores would open again, etc.

Everyone seemed to have no intention of letting go of 【The Great Garland】.

“Making management difficult. Tsk.”

IP 85.152 said this while nimbly managing the featured posts. Just then, talk about 【The Great Garland】 team’s reward vacation was also coming up. It was thanks to photos uploaded through the staff’s SNS.

[Great Garland team reward vacation atmosphere looks fucking good]

This is a photo from Staff Suns and they’re having such a blast playing lol

Anonymous (28.12) What’s a jump shot? Oh that’s fucking hilarious lmaooooo

ㅇㅇ(230.88) This is amazing lololol damn, looking at the photos makes me feel like I went there too

ㅇㅇ(7.11) I’m saying this now but Eunbaekha just covers her face, that’s why, but she’s been with the same manager and staff for a long time, so the hate spreading about her having a bad personality is fucking ridiculous..;

That’s when it happened. IP 85.152’s phone notification rang.

“Huh?”

It was a notification from a channel she had accidentally subscribed to when her hand slipped last time.
