The Chaebol’s Daughter Debuted
Episode 136
The reason Da-min and I were suddenly called to the company this time was because of that.
One of the employees apparently came up with a good idea about Flora’s official NeTube channel.
“Since all the members have been revealed and there’s still half a year left until debut, we’re already a unique case with familiar faces to the public, so I think it wouldn’t be bad to try filming with our own content concept.”
The employee in charge of Flora’s marketing handed Da-min and me a planning document.
[What’s Flora’s Problem? Let’s Make a Contract]
“This is just a working title for now. It says Flora, but depending on who hosts it, it’ll change to a member’s name.”
Oh ho…
The planning document described it as a consultation corner with the concept of negotiating conditions to recruit members as colleagues.
[Example) XX’s voice is too loud, I won’t sign unless each person gets their own room in the dormitory, etc.]
Even though it was called consultation, it wasn’t serious or heavy topics, but seemed to be a format where they’d bring light worries or contract conditions like joke exchanges and transition into interviews.
“So with this kind of plot, our staff’s opinion is that the host should probably be either Da-min, who’s the leader, or Ji-ye, who’s Day Entertainment’s first trainee.”
“Ah.”
They said it was because I was Day Entertainment’s first trainee, but in reality, everyone knew that Day Entertainment was established after receiving my investment—though for some reason the articles said Hong Jin invested.
Since there was a widespread perception that I had half-led Flora’s reunion, I was probably included as a host candidate.
“We had differing opinions among ourselves about which of you two would be better, so we called you both to ask.”
“Hmm.”
Han Da-min began reading the planning document carefully.
Mm, honestly, wouldn’t it be better for Han Da-min to do this?
She’s the leader, and more importantly, she’s kind and speaks well, making her suitable for the consultation concept.
It would also help properly establish her image as a leader before debut.
She had been Flora’s leader at Start Plan too and did very well, but due to editing and various constraints, that aspect hadn’t stood out much.
‘This is good, right?’
Thinking that, I opened my mouth.
“I think Da-min unnie should…”
Huh.
While I was lost in thought for a moment, Han Da-min was already pointing at me.
“Ji-ye should do this.”
“…What? Why?”
At Han Da-min’s matter-of-fact tone, I found myself asking argumentatively without realizing it.
Then Han Da-min grinned and patted my shoulder.
“The concept story is perfect for you. The fans need to know this too. How hard you worked to bring us all together.”
“Come on, that kind of story won’t come up during filming.”
Of course, it’s true that I really worked hard.
No one would know how anxiously I ran around until I successfully secured contracts with all the members.
But how could I directly say during filming that I personally pushed forward our plan?
At least in my opinion, it seemed better for Flora’s reunion to be known as something Kim Ja-in or UNET initiated.
It didn’t seem particularly good to create an image of power being concentrated on me within the group.
But Han Da-min’s thoughts seemed a bit different.
“Why wouldn’t you talk about that during filming? It’s such a good story.”
“A good story?”
“Of course~”
Han Da-min said in a cheerful voice.
“What flaw would it be to hide the fact that you worked hard to bring Flora back together?”
“…”
“Don’t worry too much. The staff and CEO Kim Ja-in must have made their judgment after experiencing various things. The fact that they put you as a host candidate along with me means there’s no problem with you doing it.”
After saying that, she paused for a moment and then smiled brightly.
“Give us a chance to thank you in front of others too. It’s so unfair that only we know about your efforts.”
What’s unfair about that…
When I stayed quiet in embarrassment, Han Da-min said in a playful tone.
“You think too much about the team even when opportunities come to you. Honestly, from the team’s perspective too, since this is Flora’s first self-produced content, it’s better for you to do it since you have good buzz.”
I feel like I’ve heard this somewhere before?
“Do you want to do it or not? Just tell me that.”
At her firm tone, I pressed my smiling lips together.
If I don’t think about the team and only consider what I want, of course.
“I… want to do it.”
Only after hearing Han Da-min’s words just now did I come to my senses.
When filming Start Plan too, someone had told me the same thing.
To be a bit more ambitious, to know how to show myself, not just the team.
‘Just because I invested a bit.’
I was once again thinking as if I were a manager without realizing it.
“Then let’s have Ji-ye host it! Is that okay?”
“Yes, yes, of course.”
The employee nodded at Han Da-min’s enthusiastic words.
“However, please understand that it could change during discussions with the staff, and I’ll let them know that Ji-ye will be hosting.”
“Please take care of us~”
Han Da-min greeted cheerfully and pulled me up from my seat.
“Can we go now? We want to quickly organize our dormitory stuff and go practice.”
“Ah. Of course, of course.”
“Thank you for your hard work.”
Han Da-min led my hand as we left the conference room.
I followed her, thinking that Han Da-min seemed strangely brighter since right after signing with Flora.
***
A little time passed after that.
I laughed incredulously.
No matter how big this house is, it’s not big enough to suggest meeting in the middle.
I replied roughly and put down my mobile phone.
Delivery? She definitely wouldn’t order it.
Min Ha-young couldn’t wait for delivery food to arrive.
After giving a rejection that wasn’t quite a rejection, I looked around my peaceful room.
One week into dormitory life.
The members who at first marveled at the spacious dormitory and systematic debut plan as if they’d come to an impossible place were now gradually getting used to this life.
Looking back suddenly in the midst of frantically rushed time, living under one roof had become natural as if we’d been one family from the beginning.
As a result, I got to know many real sides of the members that I couldn’t see during the brief training camp life at Start Plan, and the first of those.
Clatter!
“Princess Ryu Ji-ye! Let’s cook ramen together instead of delivery!”
“…”
Min Ha-young really barges into my room without resting for even a moment.
Of course, this was similar even before moving into the dormitory.
But since we started living together in the dormitory, she really appears without rest.
Her love for the members is so great that when she’s not coming to my room, she’s with other members.
The reason she comes to me more often among them is probably because I’m her same-age friend.
At first it was slightly bothersome, but now I find myself wondering why she doesn’t come when she doesn’t show up, and it’s a bit scary how I’m getting used to this daily routine of being together.
And second, Han Da-min’s passion is completely focused on work.
After moving into the dormitory, Han Da-min’s face became harder to see.
She diligently does both the time spent with members at the dormitory and practice for debut, but she spends most of her time mainly at the company.
According to Kim Ja-in, she’s coming up with really many ideas for Flora.
Since I was busy organizing all the work I had spread out, I had completely entrusted Flora’s debut to Kim Ja-in.
In that regard, Han Da-min’s presence was being tremendously helpful to me.
And Seo Ra-eun and Choi Song-i.
Seo Ra-eun, who was like an angel, would do housework all day and go around nagging the members about their irregular lifestyle like a mother.
And Choi Song-i was…
‘Hmm, maybe it’s not something I should interfere with.’
She seemed to be under her parents’ control more than I had thought.
To exaggerate a bit, she was at the level of talking to her parents once every hour?
They also said they would visit the dormitory soon.
Since meddling in other people’s family affairs would be nosy, I try not to pay particular attention to it.
But if the surveillance is this intense even after debut, it might be quite troublesome.
“Ramen, aren’t you going to eat ramen?”
While I was lost in thought, Min Ha-young tried to get me up as if it were natural.
Normally I would have followed her to the kitchen.
“No. I’ll just stay in my room.”
Now with dormitory life, practice, and external work, I need to check on things I’ve postponed while running non-stop.
“Aww, okay. I’ll have to eat with Song-i then. Bye~”
Right after Min Ha-young left the room, I opened the system window.
2,000G, this thing I received as a reward for successfully completing the mission with Seong Bul-do.
I had opened it once before, but even up until I made a contract with Han Da-min, it only showed an empty window.
So I had put it aside for a while.
But when I opened it again after moving into the dormitory, categories had appeared.
‘Artist’
Ding!
Character slots organized by each category.
At first, I thought it was just a function to view status windows collectively.
But it turned out to be a system with quite a lot of features.
I tried clicking on Han Da-min first.
