The Chaebol’s Daughter Debuted
Episode 147
Only then did Han Da-min, who had been frozen, quickly check on the members and nod her head.
“Yes, we’re ready. Everyone’s ready, right?”
“…Yes!”
It’s okay. Even if everyone gets nervous, they do well once they actually start.
“That’s right, don’t be too nervous. It’s not other people, we’re communicating with our fans.”
Seong Ji-soo said that and fiddled with the mobile phone on the tripod, then soon signaled that the live broadcast had started.
Ding!
An alarm popped up on the live app I had downloaded on my mobile phone beforehand, saying that Flora’s live broadcast had started.
“I’m really nervous. But this isn’t our first time, right?”
“We did it once before during Start Plan, remember? Wearing those animal pajamas.”
Listening to the members’ conversation, I turned on my mobile phone.
“Oh….”
Even though I had just turned it on, many fans were already watching the live broadcast.
I urgently tapped Han Da-min’s shoulder.
“Unnie, unnie! We need to start now.”
“Huh? Oh, oh oh. Hello!”
“Hello!”
“Let’s greet them properly. One, two, three!”
“Hello. We’re Flora! Waaaah!”
“Have you all been well?”
-They’re here!!!!
-I missed you ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ
-Wow really..I think I’m going to cry…
“Haha, there are already fans saying they’re going to cry?”
“Hey, no! You can’t cry already.”
“Oh my, if you all cry, I’ll cry too!”
“But it really is nice to see everyone.”
“Everyone, we missed you so so much!”
Where did all the members who were nervous earlier go?
The members welcomed the fans as if they had been waiting, waving their hands and dancing.
“How has everyone been? First, let’s have our members talk about what they’ve been up to?”
“Sounds good!”
“Then let’s start with Ra-eun. What have you been doing?”
“Me? Um…. I’ve been.”
I was threatened by Ji-hoon and almost couldn’t be seen in the entertainment industry forever.
Of course, I can’t tell the fans that.
Because of that, even after signing with our company, I was half out of my mind from going in and out of the police station for a while.
When asked what I’d been doing, the word ‘police station’ would immediately pop out and my complexion would worsen.
It was almost at trauma level, so I was worried it might show on my expression, but fortunately Seo Ra-eun spoke calmly.
“As for what I’ve been up to, we’ve just been practicing the whole time…. What should I say?”
There are rumors going around that trainee A who was bullied by Ji-hoon was either Han Da-min or Seo Ra-eun.
Thanks to Seo Ra-eun answering calmly, those rumors seem like they’ll die down.
“Everyone, I’m sorry. I really don’t have much to update you on….”
“Let’s say Ra-eun’s update is that she signed with Day Entertainment, then. Haha, next, what about Ha-young?”
“Yes, me. I’ve also been practicing the same way. But I recently met with Teacher Lee Si-ah.”
“Ah, that time!”
The chat room stirred.
It was going up at such tremendous speed that I couldn’t know the exact content, but it seemed like the fans already knew about it since it had been posted in the countdown photos.
Min Ha-young had posted a cover dance with Lee Si-ah alone around D-50.
“The fans all know about it, they’re asking how that meeting came about?”
“Ah, how it happened was, Teacher Lee Si-ah contacted me first after Start Plan ended.”
“Wow, you exchanged phone numbers?”
“We did!”
Ah, come to think of it, Min Ha-young said she received a dance team offer from Lee Si-ah.
Even during Start Plan filming, Lee Si-ah particularly liked Min Ha-young.
She was a member of the Start Plan top group with outstanding dance skills, and she was hardworking too.
She was exactly the type of talent Lee Si-ah would like.
“I think she thought my agency situation had stabilized by then.”
“Everyone, actually Ha-young was the first to sign with the company.”
“Oh no, no! The first was Ji-ye. I just said let’s go right away when Ji-ye asked if I wanted to! Anyway.”
“Oh oh, so then?”
“So she said I could come practice if I had nothing to do.”
“Really? Teacher Lee Si-ah said that?”
Oh, this is really unexpected.
No matter how much Lee Si-ah liked Min Ha-young, I didn’t expect her to contact her directly to help with practice.
“So I said, sorry but I’ve already signed a contract. But I’d still like to practice with you, teacher, is that okay?”
Huh? Even after signing a contract, she said she wanted to practice with Lee Si-ah who was trying to recruit her? We have a practice room right here at our company too.
“Oh my…. I see.”
When I spoke while looking at Min Ha-young with a subtle gaze, Min Ha-young noticed and smiled awkwardly.
“Hey, how could you refuse that opportunity? Teacher Lee Si-ah contacted me to practice together!”
Lee Si-ah is the most successful choreographer in South Korea.
Even though I’m slightly hurt, well, it would have been an offer Min Ha-young couldn’t refuse.
I shrugged as if I hadn’t said anything. Then Min Ha-young awkwardly rubbed against me acting cute and said.
“Anyway, so she told me to come practice anytime.”
“Oh, I’m a bit envious of that.”
“So I visit her very occasionally to learn some dance moves.”
“Teacher Lee Si-ah took really good care of Ha-young from Start Plan.”
“Right. I’m always grateful. She’s so sweet to me.”
“Okay. Then next, I just spent time working, having meetings with the company, and preparing for the album.”
“Right. Da-min unnie was the busiest.”
I said to the fans as if telling on her.
“She doesn’t sleep, this person. Even when I tell her to get some sleep, she practices, works, and has meetings. I think this unnie barely got any proper sleep during the entire preparation period.”
“Right.”
“Right. I think this unnie will only get a good night’s sleep after she realizes we’ve successfully debuted.”
“Oh, I got enough sleep while doing everything.”
Han Da-min hurriedly made excuses. Then she pointed at me and said.
“But you were the same way. Everyone~ It wasn’t just me who didn’t sleep, Ji-ye was exactly the same~”
Geez. Of course I was busy too.
Not just debut preparations, but I had many things to handle inside and outside.
But I wasn’t as busy as Han Da-min.
“Right. We all lived too busily. That’s all because we wanted to let our fans hear good songs. Haha.”
Honestly, I did a lot too, but like Seo Ra-eun, this also wasn’t something I could talk about in front of fans.
I glossed over it and pointed to Choi Song-i.
“What about Song-i? What have you been doing?”
“Me. Um.”
“But even if we call this an update, we all just practiced the same things, so there’s not much difference. Right.”
While Song-i was thinking, Min Ha-young nudged my side and said.
“That’s true. We really did nothing but practice hard.”
Now that we’re actually trying to talk about it, there’s not much to share as updates.
Especially in Song-i’s case, since she really just practiced hard without any special incidents, it would be even harder to say something particularly special…
“I was preparing for independence.”
“…Huh?”
Independence? What kind of independence? Don’t tell me independence from the dormitory?
At the sudden statement, the members all looked at Song-i in unison.
Song-i looked around at the members with an indifferent gaze as if asking what they were staring at, then said.
“From my parents.”
“Parents? Oh, so from your family home. But didn’t you already do that?”
“It’s ambiguous to say I became independent. Mom keeps coming over.”
“Ah.”
So that’s what she meant by becoming independent.
-???
-Independence? Suddenly?
-You don’t mean independence from the dormitory, right?
-hahahahaha Song-i hahaha
For fans who didn’t understand what she meant, Han Da-min explained Song-i’s words instead.
“Actually, since we moved into the dormitory, Song-i’s mother has been checking on us once a week.”
“That’s right. She brings us side dishes and buys us delicious food too.”
“Ah, but she comes too often.”
Song-i said in an annoyed tone.
Bringing side dishes, buying delicious food, and sometimes cleaning up messy things.
While we’re grateful that she tries hard to be good to the Flora members, it was honestly unnecessary kindness.
Cooking and cleaning are already being done by the housekeeper hired for the dormitory.
And since Seo Ra-eun likes to cook, we can eat hearty late-night snacks as long as it’s not during diet management.
To put it nicely, she’s looking after and caring for us, but to be honest, it could be called excessive protection and interference.
Once or twice would be appreciated, but she comes even when we’re busy with debut preparations, and even when Song-i tells her not to come because she’s busy.
To be blunt, we’re not unaware that she’s coming to monitor Song-i, the manager handling Song-i, and Day Entertainment.
Anyway, Song-i seemed to have quite a lot of thoughts about this part too.
“Well, we like it!”
When the atmosphere was about to turn strange, Han Da-min quickly changed the topic.
Unlike how we had been at a loss about how to fill 30 minutes among ourselves, time passed quickly once we shared updates and a few anecdotes.
Before we knew it, there were about 5 minutes left until the music video release.
Fortunately, the fans’ reactions were also very good.
Now it was time to wrap up the broadcast.
“Unnie, time’s almost up.”
When I whispered to Han Da-min, she nodded while she had been talking at length about how we all slept together in one room last night.
“Everyone, time is already up. There are exactly 5 minutes, no, 4 minutes left until our music video release!”
“Ahhh!”
“What do I do, I’m so nervous. Wow.”
Now really. Really the time to reveal the results of over half a year of debut preparation.
“Calm down. Calm down!”
Han Da-min calmed down the flustered members and said.
“Then so you can comfortably watch the music video, should we end the broadcast here? We’ll talk about what happens next at the showcase!”
“Sounds good!”
“Ah, only 2 minutes left!”
“We’ll end quickly! Everyone, thank you so much for waiting until now! This has been,”
“Flora!”
“See you in a bit!”
The broadcast ended with us waving at the camera as the final gesture.
And as soon as the broadcast ended, a notification rang that the music video had been uploaded.
“…”
Han Da-min opened YouTube immediately like someone possessed, and the members also gathered around her with faces marinated in dopamine.
[FLOLA(Flora) ‘blooming’ Official MV]
“Wow, the thumbnail.”
“I think I’m really going crazy.”
“My heart is beating so fast…”
With Min Ha-young and Seo Ra-eun unable to breathe and clutching their chests behind her, Han Da-min immediately played the music video uploaded to the YouTube official channel.
