The Chaebol’s Daughter Debuted

 

Episode 138

 

“Haha, already?”

 

“Yes, you’re hired.”

 

“But shouldn’t you ask me more difficult questions about various things?”

 

Han Da-min went along with my words while pointing at the script like she was coaxing a child.

 

I nodded while answering in a regretful tone.

 

“Ah, even without asking anything, you clearly seem like the talent our company needs. But I’ll ask once anyway.”

 

“Yes, please ask.”

 

“First, what’s your reason for applying to our Daimul Trading Company?”

 

“The reason I applied to Daimul Trading Company is~”

 

Han Da-min smiled brightly and leaned her arm on my desk.

 

Then she said cheekily.

 

“Because the CEO is pretty~”

 

“…Yes, I understand.”

 

So she decided to go with a completely playful atmosphere.

 

As I lightly avoided her gaze and looked at the next question, Han Da-min giggled.

 

“It’s true, but since it seems like an answer the CEO doesn’t like, let me say a bit more.”

 

“Well, I didn’t dislike it. I’ll continue listening.”

 

“First of all, you and I have already worked together a lot, right?”

 

“That’s right.”

 

“At that time, I felt we matched very well and I think we had a lot of emotional exchange too.”

 

I nodded in agreement with Han Da-min’s words.

 

For just a temporary team, we met privately a lot and contacted each other every day.

 

Because I grew too attached, by the end I tried very hard to somehow debut with FLORA.

 

And that’s how we got to now.

 

“Conversely, if I don’t join Flo- Daimul Trading Company, I was thinking about where else I should get a job.”

 

“Oh, if you didn’t join Daimul Trading Company, what were you planning to do?”

 

“If I didn’t join…”

 

Han Da-min just smiled brightly without saying anything.

 

Just from that, I could tell it was a gloomy story she couldn’t talk about during filming.

 

“Well, maybe I would have been doing other work? Maybe I wouldn’t have done entertainment industry work.”

 

Han Da-min shivered as if just the thought was dizzying.

 

“Oh no, that absolutely can’t happen. If Han Da-min doesn’t do entertainment work, who will?”

 

I slightly lifted the script and narrowed my eyes.

 

“An all-around entertainer who sings well and dances well. The force you show on stage and overwhelming facial expression acting…”

 

“Haha, what’s that? It sounds too much like reading from a textbook?”

 

“Unique charisma that captivates the stage.”

 

“Could you put some soul into it and do it again? Your expression is too bland.”

 

The script is a bit too much with the flattery.

 

The script said to read it slightly over the top, but I felt a bit embarrassed so I just read it blandly.

 

I was spouting what didn’t even seem like flattery, but strangely the Production Staff were giggling and laughing instead.

 

“Anyway, I think we absolutely must recruit Han Da-min like this to our Daimul Trading Company.”

 

“That’s right. If you hire me, I’ll work hard.”

 

“You’re already working hard, so I have a wish that you could rest a little. Hmm.”

 

I continued speaking while flipping through Han Da-min’s resume.

 

“Looking at your resume, you have experience being active as FLORA’s leader at Start Plan?”

 

“Yes, it was a very happy experience.”

 

“Oh, a happy experience. By the way, who was the most difficult member to handle in FLORA, the member who gave Da-min the most trouble?”

 

“Oh my! The member who gave me the most trouble? Suddenly?”

 

Han Da-min burst into laughter as if very flustered.

 

Then she glanced back and forth between the Production Staff and me, rolled her eyes around, and said.

 

“The member who gave me the most trouble? They all gave me trouble equally.”

 

“Huh? Me too?”

 

“Haha, were you also in FLORA by any chance, CEO?”

 

What about me.

 

I didn’t do anything wrong. How sincere was my attitude throughout Start Plan.

 

I looked at Han Da-min with the meaning that I was an exception to ‘equally’, but she just smiled with only the corners of her mouth raised.

 

“Why? I listened well.”

 

“Your pupils are shaking though?”

 

The Production Staff said as if teasing me.

 

I strongly denied it and looked at Han Da-min with an aggrieved face.

 

“No no, really not. I really listened well. Right, unnie?”

 

I felt some strange sense of kinship with Han Da-min, so I cooperated well throughout filming.

 

When I asked with an aggrieved face, Han Da-min nodded and said.

 

“That’s right. Our Ji-ye listened well. She helped unnie a lot too.”

 

“See? I really listened well.”

 

As I looked at the Production Staff smugly, Han Da-min added.

 

“But that doesn’t mean she was a completely good child either. There was a slight sense that she overdid it throughout filming.”

 

A sense of overdoing it?

 

Are you talking about during practice or music production work?

 

Han Da-min said to the Production Staff and viewers with a refreshed face as if telling on me.

 

“Everyone, this kid really doesn’t sleep! Oh my, really!”

 

Han Da-min shuddered as if she was sick of it.

 

It didn’t seem particularly sincere, but it also wasn’t an expression of making up something that didn’t happen.

 

“Throughout filming, wow… When does this kid sleep? Does she rest even for a moment? Is she not human?”

 

Han Da-min muttered with a serious face.

 

It seems she was quite seriously worried at that time.

 

“Ha, it’s good that this kid works hard, but what if she collapses from poor condition right before the stage? I’m laughing and talking about it now, but yes.”

 

“Haha…”

 

“Even when I told her to rest, she wouldn’t listen, so I was quite worried.”

 

“I was that desperate.”

 

I said awkwardly, then suddenly grabbed Han Da-min’s arm at a memory that came to mind.

 

“Ah, that’s why unnie, at that time, near the end of our filming, you almost begged me.”

 

“Right right. Ji-ye, please get some sleep… Like this.”

 

Han Da-min grabbed my hand with both hands and shook it.

 

“Taking turns with Ra-eun. Though it never made it to broadcast at all.”

 

Does this mean that if I couldn’t sleep because of music production work, Han Da-min couldn’t sleep because she was worried about me?

 

Hearing the story, when I stayed up late at night, somehow the other members would also wake up and participate in practice or music production work.

 

‘I was fine because of the Dopamine Addiction trait.’

 

I unintentionally caused trouble. But wait a minute.

 

“But unnie, these days you’re the one doing that.”

 

“Huh?”

 

Oh, is this a reversal?

 

At Han Da-min’s flustered appearance, the Production Staff started giggling as if it was interesting.

 

I backed by the Production Staff’s reaction and spoke as if interrogating Han Da-min.

 

“If another member said this, I would acknowledge it. But these days, more than me, doesn’t unnie practically live at the company?”

 

“I’m not particularly overdoing it…”

 

“It’s so hard to see your face these days that the members are so worried and miss you! Unnie, please get some sleep…”

 

When I followed Han Da-min’s request exactly as she had asked me, the production staff burst into even louder laughter.

 

Honestly, even I didn’t think it was worth such explosive laughter, but thanks to their deliberately exaggerated reactions, it created quite an entertaining atmosphere.

 

Then Han Da-min also laughed and said sheepishly.

 

“I wanted to do well.”

 

“I know. You’re incredibly reliable and trustworthy. Da-min unnie has actually been contributing tons of ideas for FLORA.”

 

Just as I was about to wrap up the topic with praise for Han Da-min.

 

Suddenly Han Da-min made a gesture of passing the microphone to me.

 

“Then what about Ji-ye? Here, question. I have complaints about a member during Start Plan filming, or currently. Excluding me.”

 

“Excluding you, unnie?”

 

The production staff started laughing again.

 

Wait, why is the question suddenly being passed to me?

 

I was slightly flustered and fidgeted with the script while thinking for a moment.

 

‘Should I answer seriously? Or go for variety show style?’

 

Then I decided since the talk segment was wrapping up anyway, I’d just answer sincerely.

 

“I truly have absolutely no complaints. Everyone has different personalities, but knowing that, we all chose to work together again ourselves.”

 

“That’s right.”

 

“The atmosphere is one where everyone respects each other. I hope we can maintain that balance while growing closer in the future.”

 

Han Da-min nodded repeatedly as if she deeply agreed.

 

Sometimes I wonder if FLORA can become as close as the former Sucream members were.

 

Though Sucream’s ending wasn’t good, we were so close that we could endure those difficult times.

 

No matter how close FLORA becomes, can we create the same feelings and memories as back then?

 

I inevitably feel wistful sometimes.

 

If Sucream was casually close without barriers, FLORA has an atmosphere of being considerate and careful with each other.

 

Of course, since we gathered again by our own choice, I think someday we’ll become a more comfortable and closer relationship, even if not quite like Sucream.

 

But that doesn’t mean FLORA is inferior to Sucream.

 

For instance.

 

“Above all, the reason I can’t help but love the members – Da-min unnie might have felt this too.”

 

“What?”

 

“Don’t we have similar levels of effort?”

 

“Ah!”

 

Han Da-min clapped her hands with great agreement.

 

“Right, right. I felt that so much too.”

 

Then she continued the explanation in my place.

 

“Usually even within groups, the limits of effort are often different.”

 

And that becomes the main cause of fights.

 

There are members who think they can still do more and must do more to achieve perfection, and if they stop here, they won’t be able to perform perfectly on stage.

 

While other members feel that this point is their best effort, and doing more would be excessive greed.

 

Then conflicts arise between them.

 

But strangely, FLORA had similar limits and levels of effort that each person thought appropriate.

 

We all work hard at the same timing, show ambition, and feel the need for rest together, so practicing together became so enjoyable.

 

“So I have no complaints at all. And everyone has such good personalities.”

 

I had quite a long conversation with Han Da-min about why I like the members.

 

And finally, the last question time of the filming.

 

I organized the heated atmosphere and said.

 

“This is the last question. If there are any conditions you hope for to join our Daimul Trading Company?”

 

“Conditions…”

 

“Well, for example, hoping Ha-young would stop eating ramen. Or stop coming to my room.”

 

“Ha! Isn’t that what you want?”

 

“No way. I love Ha-young visiting my room every day. She’s so cute.”

 

“Right, Ha-young really goes to your room all the time. What was funny was when Song-i was looking for Ha-young, she went to your room first instead of Ha-young’s room. And Ha-young actually came out from there? But you weren’t even there.”

 

Han Da-min giggled as she spoke, then pretended to think before saying.

 

“My desired condition is.”

 

Han Da-min pointed at me.

 

“First, CEO, you’re going to work on music with me after filming ends.”

 

“Ah, I can do that right away.”

 

“And one more thing. I want to sing right now.”

 

“…Sing?”

 

“If you let me perform an impromptu duet with the CEO, I’ll gladly sign the contract.”
