The Chaebol’s Daughter Debuted
Episode 145
With their debut approaching, Flora’s official accounts had been more active on social media lately, but this was the first time daily photos of the members were uploaded instead of teasers or official photos.
Countless fans were waiting for Flora’s debut.
But the members had shown no news at all since the articles about Flora’s reunion and debut came out.
However, all the fans knew they were busy preparing for their debut, so they were waiting for their debut with excitement rather than disappointment.
And then this sudden photo gift.
Although the members’ faces weren’t visible and only their neatly gathered hands could be seen, even that was so welcome and joyful that it brought tears to their eyes.
The photo taken in the practice room was enough to make fans reminisce.
The painful memories of Start Plan’s malicious editing of Flora and protecting Flora who was unfairly criticized.
But since that pain and hardship was returning as Flora’s debut, they could gladly call it a happy memory.
A week from then.
Flora’s official Blue Bird account began to be filled with new photos every day.
Ryu Ji-ye and Min Ha-young leaning on each other and dozing during a meeting.
Han Da-min’s OOTD.
A short song cover that Seo Ra-eun uploaded with guitar playing.
Even Choi Song-i’s selfie and a voice greeting saying goodnight.
What they thought would be one day’s happiness wasn’t the end.
Thanks to the members taking turns uploading photos and videos they took every day, fans could wait each day with excitement.
However, Flora’s gifts weren’t just this.
One night, a 25-minute video was uploaded without notice to Flora’s official YouTube channel.
[What’s Ryu Ji-ye’s problem? Let’s make a contract] It was Han Da-min’s episode.
Ryu Ji-ye and Han Da-min in suits.
It was a look fans had always wanted to see, but what made them happier was seeing the two of them laughing and chatting normally.
They seemed to have become closer than during Start Plan, becoming much more playful and mischievous.
Ryu Ji-ye, who was always expressionless, being speechless or shaken by Han Da-min’s pranks.
Expressing affection to members without reserve.
These were the comfortable sides of the members they had so wanted to see.
How many things had happened around the members all this time.
No matter how confirmed their debut was, the wounds the members must have received during that time were immeasurable.
They hadn’t even communicated with the members since Start Plan ended, so the happy-looking scenes in the video were even more welcome.
It was when everyone was enjoying Flora’s spectacular pre-debut festival.
Someone brought up a topic that had been quietly emerging among Start Plan fandoms.
The after-party concert that was always held after survival programs ended.
However, Start Plan ended amid great controversy and was only now gradually calming down with Flora’s debut confirmed.
There was speculation that the winner was in self-reflection due to manipulation, or actually heading toward disbandment, and other groups were also greatly affected by the incident.
So everyone thought there wouldn’t be a Start Plan concert.
But recently, rumors about the Start Plan concert kept flowing in from somewhere.
Naturally, the fans’ reactions weren’t very good.
They thought there was no way they’d actually hold a Start Plan concert, and that if Day Entertainment had any pride in Flora and U-Net had any conscience, they wouldn’t make Flora appear even if the Start Plan concert was held.
However, contrary to the fans’ wishes to maintain their pride, one day as Flora’s debut showcase approached.
The Start Plan concert was officially announced along with the confirmation of Flora’s appearance.

How does time pass so quickly?
Even saying a hundred days left meant a little over three months remaining.
I thought there was still plenty of time to prepare.
But before I knew it, tomorrow was already the music video release date.
‘And it’s two days before the showcase.’
In two days, the members and I would go up on a big stage alone and hold a showcase in front of reporters and fans.
“….”
‘A showcase on a big stage.’
It might be unfair to myself to keep comparing to that time, but when I was active as Sucream, I couldn’t even dream of this.
‘It was more of a presentation than a showcase.’
We weren’t in a position to invite fans, so we barely managed to invite just reporters to a small audition hall.
Even then, reporters didn’t want to come, so the CEO begged and pleaded to barely bring them.
And now that same me was having a debut stage with countless fans.
It felt so strange.
‘Is it regret?’
The feeling that it would have been nice if my past self had this too?
But I know.
The trials that befell Ryu Ji-ye until just recently were things I could never have overcome if I had been Hong Yeo-eun instead of Ryu Ji-ye.
Because it was Ryu Ji-ye.
Because it was Hong Jin, we could accomplish such things…
Knock knock.
“Princess, are you sleeping?”
Someone’s voice came from outside the door.
“Ah.”
I was digging into the ground again.
I hurriedly erased my thoughts and answered.
“I’m not sleeping.”
The door opened and Han Da-min and Choi Song-i peeked their heads in.
“Why did you come if you’re not sleeping? Song-i too.”
“We’re not the only ones who came, you know?”
Song-i slipped inside and flung the door wide open.
Then four people in pajamas became visible.
…Huh? I’ve seen this scene somewhere before?
“Wow, our house really is spacious. It would be roomy even with four people inside, right?”
“Right! It’s a bit different from the Start Plan dormitory, isn’t it?”
For some reason, Seo Ra-eun spoke excitedly while bouncing around timidly.
Ah, I wondered where I’d seen this before – it seemed like we all slept together like this during the Start Plan training camp.
“I felt bad coming empty-handed so I tried to make some food, but Da-min unnie scolded me.”
Seo Ra-eun said apologetically. Then Han Da-min giggled and patted Seo Ra-eun’s back.
“Of course you should get scolded. We have our showcase soon, so hold off on late-night snacks until debut.”
“…Da-min unnie is really amazing. I lost 5 kilograms after starting diet management. Is this what being an idol is originally like?”
Min Ha-young grumbled and clung right to me.
‘How natural…’
The night before the music video release.
The members were entering my room very naturally.
