The Chaebol’s Daughter Debuted

Episode 104

As expected, Han Da-min immediately grasped the situation and hardened her expression.

Then they giggled among themselves as if they had heard something absurd and said.

“What did we do? Why are you looking at us like that? Senior.”

“There are cameras here too, what will you do if you get criticized again.”

Then they started giggling again.

That sight looked exactly like the bullies from school days acting up because they trusted their gang.

Naturally, my expression hardened too.

Those things are crossing the line because they trust their entertainment agency?

Look at their expressions. They know too. Why we’re getting malicious editing.

What kind of privileges they’re enjoying.

“People who haven’t even debuted yet have already learned to be sarcastic?”

But our Han Da-min is no pushover either.

At her words, the May Rookie member who had led the mockery frowned deeply.

“It’s okay since it’ll be edited out.”

“Then we’ll be edited out together too.”

“Why are you speaking informally?”

“Are you going to act childish like this? Are you being mean because we took the 1st place benefit? Anyway, May Rookie will win~”

The May Rookie members’ faces, which had been full of laughter, quickly turned cold.

Wow, look how thorough Han Da-min is.

She deliberately brought up the victory topic here to eliminate even the possibility of manipulative editing.

Then, from among the May Rookie members, a voice quietly said ‘Ah, she’s showing off’ so no one could tell who it was.

“….”

This caused a brief silence. Then May Rookie’s leader Ja-yeon smiled brightly and said.

“We’ve never been mean. We just said your pajamas are cute. Good luck until the victory~”

Wow, now even the leader.

As the May Rookie member said earlier, there are cameras openly turned on here and of course microphones are attached too.

Nevertheless, they’re acting like this knowing it’ll be edited out.

‘Let’s see how long you can act so relaxed.’

Really, there’s not much time left now.

While I was grinding my teeth inside, Han Da-min started brightly smiling and pushing the members’ backs toward the dormitory stairs.

“Thank you! May Rookie, fighting too!”

Then May Rookie frowned deeply, glared at us, and disappeared.

Ugh, they’ve been consistently annoying since they carelessly poked people’s bodies before.

“….”

Han Da-min, who had been looking expressionlessly at where May Rookie disappeared, turned to look at the members and smiled.

“Girls, let’s go!”

“…Yes!”

Min Ha-young stuck close to my side, linked arms with me, and answered.

Hmm, she answers energetically but looking at her expression, she seems worried about the editing.

I followed Han Da-min and walked alongside Min Ha-young. The footsteps of Seo Ra-eun and Choi Song-i following behind me also felt somehow heavy.

We did well on the live broadcast but ruined our mood over something unnecessary.

Especially since we can’t check the live broadcast reactions, our hearts will be floating all day.

At this rate, we might not be able to concentrate on evening practice, so should I quietly tell just the members?

When we reached the front of the dormitory, the members naturally stopped in front of Min Ha-young and my room.

“Again, again! Everyone’s trying to come into our dormitory again? These people like us too much.”

Min Ha-young joked as if to lighten the awkward atmosphere and opened the room door.

“Like us? We absolutely love you.”

“Uwah!”

Han Da-min entered the room while boldly hugging Min Ha-young.

“That unnie finds love so easy.”

Choi Song-i shook her head and went inside next, and Seo Ra-eun let me go in first before entering and closing the door.

Click.

The sound of the door closing echoed throughout the room.

“….”

A space where finally only we existed without cameras.

The members turned off the microphones attached to their bodies as if they had been waiting and lay down on the floor.

“Why does my body hurt like I got beaten up? I think I have body aches. What if I can’t practice.”

“What do you mean what if, we still have to do it….”

“Hing, Da-min unnie is so cold. Right, Song-i~”

Min Ha-young crawled over while lying down and hugged the waist of Choi Song-i who was sitting.

Then Choi Song-i said with a disgusted face.

“You’re not even a child.”

“Ah, really. Too much. Ji-ye~”

Min Ha-young crawled over to me with a sulky expression and hugged me.

I chuckled and patted Min Ha-young’s head. Then I felt Min Ha-young’s hands hugging my waist tighten even more.

I gently arranged Min Ha-young’s bangs and said.

“You’re anxious, right? Worried something might go wrong.”

The members all turned their heads to look at Min Ha-young and me.

“….”

Min Ha-young, who had been motionless for a long time, finally opened her mouth.

“We did well on the live broadcast, right? I’m a bit scared we might have made mistakes.”

“Hey, Ha-young. You don’t need to worry about that. We didn’t make any mistakes during the broadcast.”

Han Da-min said while lying on the floor. As she said, the live broadcast went smoothly.

Since we were in a situation where we could get criticized for even the smallest actions while doing the live broadcast, the members were extremely careful, and since Han Da-min handled most of the hosting, there was no room for mistakes.

The live broadcast atmosphere was good, but live broadcasts with gathered fans and public opinion are different things, so it’s natural for Min Ha-young to be anxious.

“You really don’t need to worry about the live broadcast. So. Trust what unnie says. Really.”

Han Da-min massaged Min Ha-young’s shoulders to calm her down. Then this time Seo Ra-eun said with a bitter face.

“Unnie, but will what happened earlier be okay?”

“Earlier? Oh, that.”

“I think what you said to the May Rookie members was justified…. But I’m worried about the cameras and microphones.”

Just as Han Da-min was about to say something, I interrupted her.

“That won’t be a problem.”

“Huh?”

“Da-min unnie handled it so well too.”

Seeing her deliberately mix in stories that couldn’t be used for broadcast during the fight with May Rookie, I thought experience really can’t be ignored.

Of course, this might make the production staff hate us.

“If we just endure until the next broadcast, we won’t need to worry about malicious editing from the 5th episode onward.”

“That’s good news, but what do you mean by that? Ji-ye?”

Han Da-min asked with a face that showed she didn’t understand at all.

The other members were also looking at me with similar expressions.

Only Choi Song-i had an uninterested face and was just staring intently at Min Ha-young’s butt for some reason.

I spoke as calmly as possible so the members wouldn’t be surprised.

“My identity will be revealed right after episode 4 airs.”

“…Huh?”

Min Ha-young, who had been getting patted by me the whole time, suddenly sat up.

“Really? Why? Who? Who would do such a thing without permission!”

“Me.”

“…Ah, you? Huh?”

…Why? Everyone was asking with their eyes.

Why was I trying to reveal my own identity myself? The reason was.

“The timing is just perfect right now.”

“Timing?”

“Yeah, look. The fact that I’m from Hongjin Group is something everyone will find out eventually anyway.”

I calmly explained my situation to the members.

Gu Beom-tae, who was already a wrecker, knew my identity and had spread my information throughout the broadcasting industry.

Anyway, the fact that I was from Hongjin would be discovered soon, and people would naturally start suspecting a corrupt relationship between Start Plan and me.

‘So if I’m going to blow it up, it’s better to do it now, with my own hands.’

Since Start Plan was getting heavily criticized for their schemes, and episode 4 would probably have much more intense editing than episode 3.

I’d blow up my identity when we’re getting the most hate to create an even bigger controversy.

Then Min Ha-young’s eyes widened as much as they possibly could.

“Th-then wouldn’t that be an even bigger problem? What if people misunderstand? We’re already getting hate.”

I could see what looked like fear flickering in her trembling eyes.

Then Choi Song-i finally kicked Min Ha-young’s butt hard.

“Unnie, you’re an idiot.”

“Huh?”

Min Ha-young looked back at Choi Song-i with teary eyes while rubbing her butt.

Then Han Da-min chuckled.

“Oh my, Ha-young.”

“Huh? Why? Why are you laughing?”

“Where would you find a show that takes money and then gives evil editing?”

“…Huh?”

Watching Min Ha-young finally start to think, Han Da-min said.

“We’ve been getting slaughtered this whole time. Why do you think Ji-ye waited until episode 4 to blow this up?”

Then Min Ha-young rolled her eyes around and let out a small gasp.

I nodded to indicate that what she was thinking was correct.

Yes, the reason I had endured all the hate, evil editing, and discrimination until now.

All the dirty tricks they had pulled would serve as evidence that Hongjin and I hadn’t manipulated Start Plan’s results.

And that wasn’t all.

“That’s when it’ll really be created. The corrupt relationship between Hongjin and Start Plan.”

After episode 3 aired, Hongjin, who had been grinding their teeth in fury, would really start putting pressure on UNET.

I planned to use this opportunity not only to renew the once-damaged image of myself and FLORA, but also to completely sweep away the rigged victory.
