The Chaebol’s Daughter Debuted

 

Episode 144

 

 

 

The mysterious melody matched perfectly with Song-i’s young and delicate vocal tone.

 

The sound of the electric guitar joining the atmosphere enhanced with classical elements.

 

On top of that, Han Da-min’s and my background vocals softly yet powerfully supported the emotional chorus.

 

It was a kind of gimmick to make Choi Song-i’s voice appear a bit more professional.

 

“This part is really good as expected. Doesn’t it match perfectly with Song-i’s voice?”

 

“Exactly. Now that it’s combined with the video. I’m feeling kind of strange right now!”

 

I swayed along with Han Da-min’s movements while contentedly watching the music video.

 

As expected, Song-i had been doing broadcasts since she was young, so her eye contact and expressions were incredibly skillful.

 

With a song that perfectly matched such potential, even in such modest attire, she left a more striking impression than anyone else.

 

‘It was good to have Song-i take the chorus.’

 

Even from what she showed in the intro part during Start Plan, she had quite a good voice, but I was disappointed that it didn’t seem to stand out as much as expected.

 

To show that Song-i’s vocal tone was also good, I subtly recommended her through Kim Ja-in, and it really suits her perfectly.

 

Choi Song-i closed her mouth tightly as if embarrassed and stubbornly hid her trembling lips, then soon muttered quietly.

 

“The unnies really helped me a lot back then. Continuously during every break.”

 

Thank you.

 

I heard a voice even smaller than her muttering.

 

‘She’s really such a cute kid.’

 

I chuckled and pretended not to notice, just looking at the screen.

 

Since it was an important part, the directing was quite detailed, but no matter how many times she repeated it, Song-i couldn’t quite get the feel.

 

So Han Da-min, Seo Ra-eun, and I took turns interpreting and explaining the producer’s words to her.

 

Song-i was quite stressed during that process and it took up a lot of time, but the result was this perfect part, so I was quite satisfied.

 

Meanwhile, the music video’s story was gradually changing in atmosphere.

 

Unlike the first verse which was bright with some comedy and B-movie elements, the second verse had skies in each worldview that became dark like the sky outside Song-i’s window.

 

The members in the video also seemed to notice something strange and looked around anxiously.

 

“Oh, suddenly something strange is happening, right?”

 

“What on earth is going on?”

 

“It must be very scary!”

 

The video showed the anxious members one by one and finally showed my appearance.

 

I too was strangely looking at the dark sky visible outside the castle, then suddenly flinched as if sensing something and turned to look the other way.

 

“Oh, Ji-ye’s reaction seems strange. What happened at that time?”

 

Min Ha-young held the hand microphone toward me. I smiled and shook my head to indicate I didn’t know.

 

Right, what could have happened? Actually, we also just received instructions to ‘show a reaction as if you heard something,’ but we don’t really know what that content was about.

 

And the other members also took turns making gestures of hearing something and turning around.

 

“What could it be? I really don’t know from here on.”

 

“Everyone, to be honest at this point, we actually don’t know the detailed story either. Haha.”

 

“Light is mysteriously coming in from where they’re looking.”

 

Hmm, if I deduce from the story I heard during the meeting, did the members just receive Song-i’s call?

 

And the screen switched.

 

In a field with the Milky Way spread out and a room where stars were reflected, members were dressed up and performing the choreography for “Blooming” in both locations.

 

“Wow! Where is this place?”

 

“Was that place so pretty?”

 

This time too, CG was heavily applied.

 

When we were filming, the room was just a set studio with the outside window painted green, and the field was just a field without any stars.

 

Especially the field, I remember it being very cold because the wind was too strong by nighttime.

 

But to transform that place so beautifully.

 

“When we filmed the field choreography scene, it was really tough, but it’s so pretty?”

 

“They look like fairies. …Except, except me.”

 

Seo Ra-eun quickly added.

 

“No way, unnie looks the most like a fairy.”

 

Min Ha-young said firmly without taking her eyes off the screen.

 

And from that moment, the members’ voices completely stopped.

 

As the choreography began in earnest, everyone hardened their expressions seriously and monitored the choreography.

 

“….”

 

I felt it several times during filming while monitoring, but the choreography is really beautiful.

 

The difficulty wasn’t that high, but it didn’t look too simple either, and with the gorgeous costumes and wind added, it looked visually stunning.

 

‘CEO Kim Ja-in really….’

 

She’s an amazing person. She said she would utilize the members’ beauty one hundred percent since they’re pretty, and just looking at the music video, it was exactly as she said.

 

Everything was drawn so beautifully.

 

After filling the entire second verse chorus with choreography, the scene switched.

 

I, who had been sitting in a chair like a stone statue with bound feet, stood up and began walking down the corridor to leave the castle.

 

When I opened the huge double doors with my own hands, instead of any scenery, hazy light poured out.

 

The other members were the same.

 

When they opened doors or windows, light appeared, and the members threw themselves into it with curious expressions.

 

And the song ended.

 

Just when I thought the music video would end like this.

 

The screen that had briefly gone black brightened, and a scene appeared where all members were summoned to the cozy room where Song-i had been reading, with both Song-i and the members looking bewildered.

 

“Did everyone come to visit Song-i’s house?”

 

“It’s a housewarming.”

 

“Why is everyone acting like this, really.”

 

While Song-i was scolding the members who were talking nonsense, the music video ended by showing empty picture frames, posters, and books.

 

“Oh, is it over already?”

 

“Already? …It’s 9 minutes long though?”

 

“…Wow.”

 

“….”

 

The members seemed speechless when the music video ended and quietly stared at the already turned-off laptop screen.

 

The lingering feeling was deep. I felt out of breath even though I had been sitting still, showing how immersed we had been watching.

 

“How was it for everyone?”

 

Han Da-min asked while looking at the members.

 

“Really…. It’s so good that I can’t speak….”

 

Seo Ra-eun said in a voice wet with moisture.

 

She was behind me so I didn’t bother to look, but she seemed to be crying.

 

Then Min Ha-young, who had been continuously pouring out exclamations, spoke haltingly.

 

“I didn’t know it would turn out this well. It really felt like watching a movie. I’m so, so happy.”

 

Then Choi Song-i, who had still been looking only at the screen next to me, hesitated and suddenly turned around.

 

“Ha-young unnie is crying too? Why is everyone crying? On such a good day.”

 

“Huuung! Because it’s so good!”

 

Oh my. Following Seo Ra-eun, now Min Ha-young too. When Min Ha-young’s tears burst, Seo Ra-eun also began wailing.

 

“We, we’re really debuting….”

 

“Hey! Stop crying! I feel like I’m going to cry too!”

 

Wow, amazing. The tears went right back in. I was actually about to cry a little too.

 

I shook my head while looking at the tearful Han Da-min and the sobbing members.

 

“We haven’t debuted yet, everyone. What are you doing crying already?”

 

“That’s right. Our members are all too emotionally rich.”

 

Song-i shook her head following me and said. ‘Those T types are heartless to the end,’ Min Ha-young said casually even while crying.

 

It seemed difficult to calm the members down right away, so I only comforted Han Da-min who wasn’t wailing yet, then continued the conversation among the front row members.

 

“We had many incidents while filming. Does anyone remember any particular episodes?”

 

“Um.”

 

Choi Song-i raised her hand.

 

“Rather than what I remember, I have a bit of a complaint about Day Entertainment.”

 

“Oh, what is it? Since everyone including our CEO is listening from behind those cameras over there, please speak freely.”

 

“Why didn’t you put me in pretty clothes?”

 

“Ah, right. Song-i was really disappointed about that from the venue. Really.”

 

Han Da-min, who had barely calmed down, spoke in a still tearful voice. Choi Song-i nodded.

 

“When fans watch the music video, they’ll take my side too. Everyone else was dressed beautifully in dresses and hanbok, but only I was natural. Please promise to put me in pretty clothes next time.”

 

When Song-i looked directly at Kim Ja-in while speaking, Kim Ja-in smiled warmly and gave an okay sign.

 

“Yes, next time we’ll put our Song-i in pretty clothes too.”

 

Now that I look, Kim Ja-in had been crying too.

 

“And anyone else who remembers something.”

 

We sporadically shared brief memories from the filming.

 

Things like how everyone had individual set studios and each one was incredibly huge. Or how the group chat, which had been quiet for a while when we were briefly apart, rang non-stop.

 

Only after the atmosphere lightened up and the lingering feelings from the music video faded did Seo Ra-eun and Min Ha-young’s tears finally stop.

 

I glanced back and shook Han Da-min’s arm as I spoke.

 

“Well then. There are more stories, but we’ll save those for next time to reveal ourselves. We should go back to practicing.”

 

“Should we say goodbye to the fans before we end?”

 

“Yes!”

 

“We hope that all the fans who are waiting for us FLORA will love both the song and the music video. We’ll practice hard and come see you. Well then, goodbye!”

 

“Thank you!”

 

The filming ended.

 

As soon as filming ended, we immediately watched the music video two or three more times as if we’d been waiting for it, then resumed practice right away.

 

And when night came, the first photo of the hundred-day countdown was uploaded to FLORA’s official Blue Bird and Star Star accounts.
