The Chaebol’s Daughter Debuted

Episode 102

‘What the heck is this.’

For a moment, I doubted my eyes.

The viewer count had exploded. The heart gauge at the top of the screen was already half full.

All we did was perform Horizon once.

‘Though I did dance more energetically than usual.’

I thought maybe they’d view us more favorably if I showed them I was working a little harder.

It was my first live broadcast as Ryu Ji-ye, the first in a long time since Sucream, so I felt awkward and danced even more intensely.

All the members wore their respective animal pajamas and danced earnestly as if they were on stage.

At first, I naturally thought we’d only show dancing, but starting with Han Da-min, before we knew it, all the members were doing live vocals too.

We were working so hard that I eventually got hit in the face by Seo Ra-eun’s rabbit ears, making me wonder if we really needed to go this far.

‘But we really did need to go this far.’

I don’t know what kind of word-of-mouth spread through which channels, but along with the doubled viewer count, I could feel the chat room reactions becoming much more positive.

-ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ It’s the best

-They’re so cute, you guysㅜㅜㅜ

-No way lol the clothes can’t handle the dancing lololol

-Heard the news and came to check it out

-ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Why are you trying so hard though? ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

“Huff… whew…”

“Wow… Was this always this tiring…?”

“It was always, ugh, whew… tiring, but today we’re a bit, overly excited.”

The members caught their breath and looked at each other before bursting into laughter.

Everyone really gave it their all and worked hard. The members with long tails or ears even shook those around for appeal.

I had a hard time holding back laughter when Han Da-min swung her long tail around.

I realized anew that kids aiming to be idols really are different.

We exchanged silent looks of “good job” and slowly approached the filming cameras to sit down.

“Everyone, how was it? Was Horizon okay?”

When Han Da-min asked, the already fast-moving chat started scrolling too quickly to read.

Seo Ra-eun, who was sitting on the edge closest to the chat, spoke with a moved expression.

“Everyone says they enjoyed watching. They also say they didn’t know we could do live vocals.”

“That’s a relief. We’re so happy that you enjoyed it. Once again, thank you for coming to FLORA’s first live broadcast.”

“Waaaah!!!”

When the members cheered and clapped along with Han Da-min’s words, clapping emoticons appeared consecutively in the chat, responding to our words immediately.

‘Thank goodness.’

It really was a relief. From the animal pajamas to the Horizon performance, I prepared with the hope that showing an active side would give a good first impression and somehow turn the atmosphere around.

Including the greatly increased viewer count and heart gauge, a better reaction than expected was forming.

Han Da-min checked the chat and said with a grin.

“Then shall we properly greet everyone once more, and since this is our first time meeting viewers directly like this, how about we each do a self-introduction?”

We had a brief self-introduction and appeal time, then immediately moved on to talk time.

“Someone’s asking who came up with the animal pajamas?”

“Ah, our Ra-eun prepared these!”

Han Da-min pulled Seo Ra-eun’s shoulder with a proud expression.

Seo Ra-eun lowered her head with a shy smile.

Ah, this is when I should give her some credit. Since Seo Ra-eun was too shy to say anything, I added words on her behalf.

“Ra-eun unnie personally prepared all five sets for us.”

-Whoa Ra-eun did it herself???

-For the live broadcast??

-Ra-eun has good sense♥♥♥♥♥ She chose ones that suit the members perfectly~

-Hahahaha she’s being shy, so cute

Only then did Seo Ra-eun speak, not knowing what to do with herself.

“Yes, yes… Our pajamas weren’t pretty… I thought it would be nice if FLORA could wear matching pretty ones.”

“But I’m curious, did you personally think of and choose the animals for each member? Or was it random?”

Han Da-min asked.

This was one of the questions that kept coming up in the chat since we first appeared in animal pajamas.

Seo Ra-eun’s face turned red as she nodded.

‘With all this praise, what’s there to be so embarrassed about.’

Silly. She doesn’t even know that makes her cuter.

I chuckled and fiddled with the bear ears on my pajamas.

“Why am I a bear? Do I have a bear-like image?”

“Right. Why am I a puppy?”

Min Ha-young asked with a genuinely puzzled expression.

Min Ha-young pointed to the chat.

“Look at this. Our fans…, no, our viewers are also really curious.”

As Min Ha-young said, there were particularly many people in the chat questioning mine and Min Ha-young’s animal pajamas.

It couldn’t be helped, since both Min Ha-young and I appeared on the broadcast with completely opposite images from the animal pajamas we were wearing.

Then Seo Ra-eun hesitantly began to explain her thoughts in detail.

“I just chose based on the member images I felt while being together with everyone so far.”

Seo Ra-eun briefly explained her perception of each member’s image by comparing them to animals.

“First, Da-min unnie is the most glamorous person I know with the strongest first impression. At first, I even felt a little scared, ah, bu-but now I’m not scared at all and she’s really caring!”

Han Da-min cleanly accepted her image.

“Actually, I hear a lot that tiger patterns would suit me. Though I’ve never worn them. How is it? Do I match with a tiger?”

Then she lightly struck a tiger pose, going “roar.”

“And Ha-young… Actually, she might have looked a bit sharp on the broadcast, but she’s really cute, kind, and energetic. She always laughs well and is fun. She’s our team’s mood maker, so I chose it thinking she’d perfectly match a cute puppy that bounces around.”

“Aw, how embarrassing~”

Min Ha-young waved her hand with an exaggeratedly shy expression, grinning.

She said it was embarrassing, but she looked very happy.

-?? Ha-young is a puppy??

-Hahaha really unexpected, is Hayoung actually quite aegyo/cute in private settings?

-Whoa I want to see bouncing puppy Ha-young too!!!!!

I glanced at the chat, and since only 3 episodes had aired so far, it seemed more people couldn’t understand Seo Ra-eun’s words.

But as the broadcasts continue, viewers will soon understand what Seo Ra-eun meant.

Min Ha-young really does have a definite puppy image. Like a bouncing Bichon Frise, I’d say.

“Then what about Ji-ye? I really don’t understand why Ji-ye is a bear.”

At Min Ha-young’s words, Han Da-min fiddled with my bear ears and chuckled.

“I also thought ‘Ji-ye as a bear?’ at first, but thinking about it, it seems right.”

“Why?”

“Fans might feel this a bit too? Ji-ye is somewhat dull to external stimuli.”

Dull? Me?

If anything, I was sensitive, definitely not the dull type. Probably no one would relate.

With that thought, I looked at the chat.

-ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋA legend of classical music

-Hahahahahahaha I know, I know

-Now that you say that, I can see why you’re called a bear doll hahahahaha

-So cute hahahahaha

‘Huh…’

Surprisingly, many people were laughing in agreement.

What’s this about? Is it because of my personal classic? I did come out looking like a sloth though.

“What is it, everyone?”

When I spoke with an aggrieved expression, Han Da-min giggled and moved her hand away from touching the bear ears to pat my shoulder.

“What I mean is, when I first saw you, I thought you’d be a really sensitive person, but you’re more laid-back than I expected. Even when there’s really tough work or mentally difficult situations, Ji-ye doesn’t seem to be greatly affected by them.”

“Ah!”

Seo Ra-eun nodded vigorously as if those were exactly her thoughts.

“Even when you get scolded or practice doesn’t go well. You’re like, ‘Oh, I guess I was lacking. I’ll do better next time.’ You just brush it off and do what you need to do, which gives off this solid and steadfast image. I think that’s why Ra-eun thought you were like a bear.”

“Oh, yes yes. When you put it that way, I totally agree.”

Min Ha-young said while giving a thumbs up.

“It didn’t show on the broadcast, but whenever someone suggested extra practice or trying again, you never once backed out. Anyway, you really work hard silently and steadily, um… now that I say it like this, you really do seem like a bear?”

And then Seo Ra-eun’s gaze turned to Choi Song-i.

“And Song-i is.”

“Ah, Song-i, well.”

The members shrugged with faces that showed they weren’t curious at all.

Right, Choi Song-i was such a perfect match that everyone knew the reason without having to ask.

Song-i’s pajamas were cat-themed.

Just looking at the chat room, there were many people who had been shouting ‘my baby kitty’ whenever they saw Song-i.

“Since everyone says it suits us…”

Choi Song-i also seemed to know her nickname well, so without saying much, she instead shyly burrowed into Seo Ra-eun’s arms.

-Hahahahahaha so cute hahaha

-I’m curious when you two became so close hahaha it’s so different from what was aired hahaha

“You think we seem really close? That’s right. We became really close on the first day.”

“Actually, all the Flora Members watched episode 1 together.”

“Ji-ye and I also watched episode 3 together. At Ji-ye’s house.”

“Ah, right. That’s what happened. I was really disappointed then~. I wanted to watch together too!”

At this point, I checked the time and heart gauge again.

About 15 minutes remained.

The viewer count had tripled and the heart gauge was already approaching 80 percent.

‘Thank goodness.’

Even when I first received the mission, I thought it would be absolutely impossible to proceed with just talk.

Surprisingly, the talk was flowing smoothly.

As the members relaxed somewhat, their hosting became quite skilled.

“Oh right, everyone, did you happen to see the individual member PR videos uploaded to the official channel this time?”

Especially Han Da-min, who was familiar with live broadcasts, was practically flying during the talk segments.

‘Experience isn’t only gained on stage.’

To think she’d even promote the individual PR videos during this live broadcast.

She was so skilled that the other members just had to follow along with the conversation topics Han Da-min threw out.

And so our first live broadcast was proceeding much more smoothly than expected.
