The Chaebol’s Daughter Debuted

 

Episode 132

 

“So? Of course you rejected him!”

 

Han Da-min was so excited her face turned bright red as she huffed angrily.

 

Seo Ra-eun nodded her head.

 

“I couldn’t reject him as coolly and firmly as Da-min unnie did, but I’m sure my rejection was clearly conveyed. Actually, the contact stopped around the finals too.”

 

Around the finals…?

 

That means Ji-hoon had been approaching Seo Ra-eun for quite a long time, right?

 

She was being harassed by Ji-hoon for such a long time but didn’t even show us a hint of it?

 

“So I thought it ended like that… But suddenly he contacted me again after all the filming was over. But this time something was a bit strange. He kept saying he’d introduce me to someone, and when I refused, he became too forceful…”

 

Seo Ra-eun spoke in a shrinking voice.

 

So if I organize what Seo Ra-eun said and what I know in order, it goes like this.

 

Ji-hoon’s sponsor was cut off when the filming ended.

 

When he was feeling anxious, a chaebol who liked Seo Ra-eun appeared and started making moves on her.

 

But since Seo Ra-eun wouldn’t move as he wanted, he gradually started threatening and coercing her.

 

“In what, way?”

 

I was so angry I couldn’t speak properly.

 

When I asked while trying hard to hold back the curses that seemed ready to burst out, Seo Ra-eun glanced at the members and said.

 

“He said if I refused, he’d make it so I couldn’t debut… He said Hong Jin isn’t omnipotent, so I shouldn’t be stubborn just trusting in that. Hong Jin is also a company that doesn’t know the entertainment industry well, and even though CEO Kim Ja-in was at MN, she’s now just the CEO of a newly starting company…”

 

Oh my. He really kept spouting only words that would irritate the listener.

 

Crack. I could see CEO Kim Ja-in’s consistently gentle smile gradually cracking.

 

“Ah, that bastard said such things…”

 

Fortunately, only I heard Kim Ja-in’s small muttering.

 

“He said the person he’d introduce me to now is someone who has a tight grip on the entertainment industry. If I don’t accept, even if Flora debuts, we won’t be able to set foot in broadcasting stations…”

 

“Ha!”

 

He really said anything to scare an individual trainee who knew nothing.

 

Seo Ra-eun continued tearfully.

 

“But no matter how I thought about it, that didn’t seem right… But I also couldn’t cause harm to Flora or the CEO, so I was worrying about how to resolve this.”

 

Ah, so that’s why she couldn’t be reached.

 

She wanted to join Flora.

 

But according to Ji-hoon’s words, her joining itself could become a burden to Flora.

 

The chaebol that Ji-hoon claimed to know were also real people, so she couldn’t just ignore it.

 

It would be difficult for an ordinary early-twenties Seo Ra-eun to distinguish truth from lies in Ji-hoon’s words.

 

“Ra-eun, why did you worry alone? It would have been good if you told me.”

 

Kim Ja-in, who had been listening quietly until now, spoke in a gentle voice while stroking Seo Ra-eun’s back.

 

“If I had known about this situation earlier, I would have definitely told you not to listen to such nonsense.”

 

“…Yes?”

 

Seo Ra-eun, who had been shedding tears profusely as if she had suffered greatly mentally, looked up in surprise.

 

Kim Ja-in spoke in a tone that said it was really ridiculous.

 

“Who does he think he is.”

 

“…”

 

“What does that Ji-hoon kid think he is to say we can’t set foot in the entertainment industry.”

 

At her slightly playful voice, Seo Ra-eun’s tears stopped.

 

“That Ji-hoon kid is really nothing special, Ra-eun.”

 

“…”

 

“If he doesn’t act cute for chaebols, he’s the one who won’t be able to set foot in the entertainment industry.”

 

I listened quietly to Kim Ja-in’s words and then said.

 

“Unnie, sign a contract with us.”

 

“Huh?”

 

“That Ji-hoon kid can’t have any influence on our debut, so don’t think about it too much and just do Flora with us.”

 

My insides were boiling.

 

It felt like my reverse scale had been touched.

 

I thought I’d never see this kind of thing with my own eyes again after I became Ryu Ji-ye.

 

If you don’t get sponsored, you can’t set foot in the entertainment industry. That’s what I heard before our Sucream collapsed.

 

And now I’m hearing it again here.

 

I said with a hollow laugh.

 

“Unnie, did you record all the phone calls with that person?”

 

“Huh? That, that… What should I do? I didn’t record the first one…”

 

“You mean you didn’t record only the first one but recorded all the rest? I understand. Anyway, unnie is going to do Flora with us. Don’t cry.”

 

I wiped Seo Ra-eun’s tears with my hand and stood up.

 

“Why are you getting up?”

 

Min Ha-young looked up at me in confusion.

 

“Weren’t you going to take Ra-eun unnie from here?”

 

I shook my head and prepared to leave.

 

“CEO, please sign a contract with Ra-eun unnie and feed her something delicious before the members start practice. And Ra-eun unnie, sorry but please send just one text to that bastard Ji-hoon.”

“You’re crazy, you’ve finally lost it.”

 

Ryu Jae-geum clicked his tongue looking at the baseball bat crookedly placed on my crossed legs.

 

“You brought this instead of a steel pipe. How admirable.”

 

I just turned my gaze to look at Ryu Jae-geum as if asking what the problem was.

 

Ryu Jae-geum was still looking at me like I was some lunatic.

 

“You brought a metal baseball bat instead of a steel pipe, you fool. What’s the difference? Why did you bring this out? You were quiet for a while and now you’re trying to cause trouble again…”

 

“If you didn’t want to see me cause trouble, you didn’t have to follow me. Aren’t you busy?”

 

Let me say that I had no intention of bringing Ryu Jae-geum to this place.

 

I was going to handle it alone.

 

But just as I was about to leave Ryu Jae-geum’s room with the baseball bat, I got caught by him who happened to be coming home.

 

“I’m busy, but I can’t stand to see you cause more trouble! Are you really crazy? Ryu Ji-ye, you’re about to debut as an idol. Why are you carrying a weapon when going to meet someone?”

 

That’s a crime, you know.

 

I’m sorry, but I lightly ignored Ryu Jae-geum’s words as he seriously tried to persuade me.

 

Come on, would I really hit that bastard with this bat?

 

I’m just going to warn that crazy guy and notify him at the same time, killing two birds with one stone.

 

“Hey, hey, Ryu Ji-ye, are you listening to me? You can’t hit people. No matter how inhuman a human is, you absolutely cannot become a criminal because of that bastard. You understand, right? Sigh… A baseball bat, oh my, who does she take after to be so crazy.”

 

“I take after Grandfather.”

 

“…It does seem like it.”

 

While roughly going along with Ryu Jae-geum’s words and passing time, the car had arrived at the meeting place before I knew it.

 

Ryu Jae-geum let out a deep sigh and nodded his head telling me to hurry and go.

 

“Just in case, I’ve stationed security personnel around. If anything happens, at least make some noise. Someone will go in and save you.”

 

“Okay.”

 

I answered lightly and confidently got out of the car.

 

On the day I met Seo Ra-eun with Kim Ja-in and the members, I arranged a meeting with Ji-hoon through Seo Ra-eun’s mobile phone.

 

Of course, pretending to be Seo Ra-eun, not me.

 

Therefore, in this place, in this restaurant I’m entering now, there will be Ji-hoon waiting excitedly for his caught prey.

 

For today’s deed, I not only rented this entire restaurant but even paid the owner a large sum and got his understanding.

 

With the intention of completely destroying everything, whatever I might do today.

 

“Have you arrived, miss?”

 

As I entered the store, an employee glanced at the baseball bat slung over my shoulder and guided me.

 

“Your friends arrived first and are waiting.”</Human: Continue with CHUNK 2 of 2 from Chapter 132.

“What… yes?”

 

My steps came to an abrupt halt.

 

What did they just say? That my friends are here?

 

Since I’d already explained the whole situation, they wouldn’t be calling Ji-hoon a friend.

 

Besides, why are they talking like there are multiple people instead of just one?

 

When I looked at the employee with eyes asking what they were talking about, the employee became even more flustered and said in confusion.

 

“Weren’t you planning to dine together? Since you’re members and came here, I naturally assumed you were accompanying each other…”

 

“…Members?”

 

What are they talking about. I was planning to come here alone today.

 

As I stood there quietly, truly puzzled, I heard familiar voices from far away.

 

“Why are you only coming now! I was dying from feeling awkward.”

 

“Wow, Ji-ye. That baseball bat looks cool!”

 

Clap clap clap! The powerful sound of applause echoed through the empty interior of the restaurant.

 

‘Why are they here?’

 

Han Da-min and Min Ha-young were approaching me with bright smiles.

 

“You told us the time and place right in front of us before you left.”

 

“So we naturally thought you were telling us to come too?”

 

“Huh?”

 

I did tell them the time, date, and place when I asked Seo Ra-eun to text Ji-hoon.

 

But I didn’t mean for them to come?

 

As I stared at the members with wide eyes, Han Da-min’s lips twisted strangely and a frosty cold voice flowed out.

 

“I want to see that bastard’s face and vent my anger too. How dare he touch my member? I’m pretty sensitive about these things.”

 

…Han Da-min too?

 

Could it be that Han Da-min has also experienced the same thing as me?

 

“Honestly, in terms of experience, he’s neither a senior nor anything to me. I came to curse him out properly. Let’s see if he can really prevent me from establishing myself in the entertainment industry, that bastard.”

 

Han Da-min, like me, gritted her teeth and headed toward the private room where Ji-hoon was, leading ahead of the employee.
