Episode 99
But who am I? Han Yeoreum, who received the Special Jury Award at the Seoul Drama Awards and achieved a 247% web drama Blu-ray sales rate. Let’s maintain the attitude of a star.
‘There are two self-content cameras attached, so having a personal conversation would be…’
I turned my back without any regret.
‘There’s nothing good about getting involved with a male idol anyway. I should go for now.’
I can hear whatever it was about tomorrow in the waiting room anyway. I should go film In My Bag.
* * *
Yeoreum walked through the Kyocera Dome hallway, looking at the lens without any camera shyness. Manager Ma smiled contentedly. She could already picture how well the intro would turn out.
“Huh? Isn’t that Manager Ma?”
“…No way. What Manager Ma? She should be stuck in the JC Building.”
“It really is her. Look behind.”
“What Manager Ma. Just someone who looks similar-. Wait what why is Manager Ma here?”
The reporters’ gazes turned toward Manager Ma one by one. Manager Ma, who lived stuck in a corner of the office like furniture, coming all the way to Osaka was no ordinary matter.
“That’s the female lead from , right. Her name is…”
“Han Yeoreum, Han Yeoreum.”
“Manager Ma is working as staff? Is she crazy.”
A figure who couldn’t be unknown at JC ENM was filming a vlog next to a mere rookie actress. The reporters exchanged glances with each other.
‘Right. This is why I came.’
Manager Ma had already finished all these calculations. Not only filming vlogs and uploading new self-produced content, but also engraving Han Yeoreum’s position once more in a place where all industry people were gathered.
‘For someone to rise as a rising star, they inevitably have to step on someone to climb up…’
Manager Ma made eye contact with someone in the distance who was rehearsing on stage and glancing over here. It was brief, but she saw a gaze filled with malice.
‘How scary.’
Gi Juye, a popular idol who was transitioning to acting.
She was the person who lost the N company model contract to Yeoreum.

“…Does this tint even come out?”
“Don’t film this! Not this! This won’t do!”
Manager Ma mercilessly took away my tint despite my request. The old tint that I scraped to the bottom was caught on the camera lens.
“Something I’ve been using since my past life… is that it? Or is it a tint passed down through generations in your family?”
If I had known this would happen, I should have packed with a celebrity’s ego from the start. My face felt hot. I applied the tint Manager Ma returned to my wrist.
“But the color is pretty, right?”
The editing will make it look cute anyway, right? It would be troublesome if I came out as pitiful beggar Han Yeoreum.
I finished the short In My Bag filming. Of course, today’s schedule doesn’t end here.
Knock knock-.
A knocking sound was heard at the private room. Instead of Manager Ma who was holding the camera, I opened the door.
“Han Yeoreum!”
“Hello.”
It was Chu Gaeul and Ju Junseo. We were planning to watch the first episode of the spin-off that would be uploaded starting today and upload a reaction video.
‘Since the production company was JC.’
As self-produced content was being uploaded daily to JC’s InTube account these days, it seemed couldn’t be left out either. If there was one thing that changed.
“8:55! The spin-off is starting now. Ah, I’m nervous. Yeoreum, aren’t you nervous too?”
“I’m a little less nervous watching it together. In the past, I was so nervous that I downed a whole bottle of soju before watching.”
“…How do you down that in one shot?”
“No way. That must be a figurative expression.”
“It’s real though. You can do anything if you try.”
The upload was delayed by an hour. It couldn’t be helped.
‘Because of Do Gyeoul.’
was rising too much. No, it was insufficient to even call it a rise.
To avoid being overshadowed by a drama racing toward 20% viewership, they changed the upload time for the reaction video.
‘It’s also a strategy to draw viewers from to .’
The recent final exam play ended with my victory, but I’m newly realizing that the gap with Gyeoul is still vast.
‘No, I shouldn’t keep thinking like this.’
The camera is rolling. The logo had already appeared on the tablet. I faithfully focused on my reaction.

[️♨You… my first…♥︎ Completely ruined♨️️]
-Ah this is it, the time-honored taste passed down from Flower Boys through generations
-I’m more curious about these two than the new coupleㅠㅠㅠㅠ
︎˪222 The spin-off is good but they should add more school stories about these two after season 1 ends.. Season 2 opened too quickly
-Joo Junseo’s black hair is so good ㄸㅑ…. (๑❛ڡ❛๑)☆
Aetami enjoyed the spin-off while running through the real-time grill. The high teen scenery of the ridiculous pure romance comic worldview was good, but somehow it was even better to see Chaewon, who used to wear white knee-high socks, now wearing padding in reality.
“So cute…”
Chaewon on screen grabbed Jun’s arm, who was a head taller than her, and dragged him into the bookstore.
-Let’s quickly buy workbooks and go study. You said you only studied, but that was all lies…
-Shouldn’t you be looking at this instead of workbooks?
-I don’t even hope for oppa anymore, so just don’t call me ‘you’…
Chaewon had changed slightly from her Season 1 appearance. Thanks to their relationship looking more natural and intimate, the drama fans eagerly devoured even without any hints. Originally, extraction was sweeter than being spoon-fed directly.
-Oppa… can’t I call you that? Please, it’s my wish, can’t you grant one wish of a 38th generation descendant of the Juksan Park clan?
︎˪Ju Junseo is a Ju, so why should he grant a Park’s wish..?
︎˪For the abolition of South Korea’s corrupt blood-relation society
-ㅠㅠㅠㅠ Ah fuck, this is so damn good. I don’t even expect him to call me “oppa” but with such a pathetic male lead who gets completely whipped, this could easily be a rom-com
︎˪Looking like that but being so obedient is so real ㅜㅜㅋㅋㅋ Just get married while I’m asking nicely
The story that followed flowed as the preview showed. It was a familiar, known taste.
Enjoyment without failure. As expected of . Except for Pi Chaewon and Jun occupying a short 3-4 minute runtime in the beginning, it was satisfying content.
[The Cherry on the Parfait Belongs to the Heroine!]
“Ah, that was fun!”
Having finished watching, Aetami turned off the tablet screen and was immersed in the afterglow.
“How does our girl have such a wide acting spectrum…”
She couldn’t forget the quiet Juliet shown in . The footage she had recorded kept appearing before her eyes. The overwhelming emotion she felt in that space back then was still the same.
“I shouldn’t be doing this. I need to quickly finish editing-.”
It was when Aetami got up again to edit the video. Just then, her cell phone vibrated.
Buzz-.
[midsummer] has started a live broadcast. Watch now!
“Yeoreum is going live!!!”
Hastily clicking the notification, she could see the main characters of 〈Fachehi〉 in comfortable attire inside a Hotel Room. As Yeoreum’s followers had increased, the real-time viewer count had also grown accordingly.
-Pichae couple ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ please give us more, surely this isn’t the end of their conversation?
-Yeoreum, who told you to be this cute today, get permission from your sister and be moderately cute while I’m being nice
-You should know that your smile is truly lovely
Among the rapidly rising chat window, the three answered question comments a bit more skillfully than last time.
“Gaeul’s styling? Right, it’s pretty. She sent me so many photos asking whether to cut her hair or not… I was lying down before bed and I could see Gaeul’s face on the ceiling…?”
“Hey! Han Yeoreum!”
The three seemed closer than before. Before she knew it, Aetami had embraced Ju Junseo and Chu Gaeul as well, and decided to watch the remaining 〈Fachehi〉 spin-offs and Ju Junseo’s next drama. This is how you’re supposed to fan over actors like a spider web.
‘Otherwise you’ll starve to death…’
It was when Aetami was adding Ju Junseo and Chu Gaeul to her mental list of beloved actors.
“We really look close? You think we’ve gotten closer recently?”
As Gaeul read the comment, Yeoreum’s lips curved up slightly.
“Yes. Tomorrow evening we’re all going to…”
“Ey~ such a heavenly senior…”
Junseo turned his head and stared intently at Han Yeoreum.
-Oh right right, we’re not close lol everyone, we’re not close lolololol
-Junseoooo ㅠㅠㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ what am I gonna do with my baby, he’s become the neighborhood fool ㅠㅠㅠㅠ
-Gaeul just smile comfortably.. that reaction kills Junseo twice
Before long, memes that only the 〈Fachehi〉 Team and subscribers knew had formed between them. It was when the live stream had ended successfully like that. Aetami’s Cell Phone rang once more.
Buzzing-.
[Anonymous Board/Is this the right Pichae-won padding?ㅠ Help me choose which one to buy]
What she wore in Fachehi today was so pretty I’m torn
It was worth setting keyword alerts for ‘Han Yeoreum/Pi Chaewon/Fachehi/Jeong Yeondu’ and such. Aetami quickly provided information about Yeoreum’s Outfit and smiled proudly.
“Ah, if it’s like this for a web drama, what will happen when she goes on terrestrial broadcasting, I wonder-.”
And at that moment, there was someone looking at the same post. The woman with glamorous nails left a comment completely opposite to Aetami’s.
Tap tap- Tap tap-.
The sound of long nails hitting the screen rang out sharply.
Input: Nah, last year’s was way better.. lol This new release is kinda disappointing by my standards ㅠ Looks old-fashioned, especially the logo
“…How annoying.”
It was idol Gi Juye, N Company’s existing model and someone attending tomorrow’s Music N Awards ceremony alongside Yeoreum.
