The Chaebol’s Daughter Debuted

Episode 15

Seo Ra-eun, who had been hesitating, soon nodded with determined eyes.

“If you entrust it to me, I’ll work hard on it.”

I congratulated Seo Ra-eun with light applause and immediately moved on to the next topic.

“And about the dance break we decided to put in the middle. The one I discussed with Yu-hwa sunbae.”

I’m busy, so busy. Let’s decide this quickly before it gets quiet again.

“I think we need to decide that quickly too.”

This is probably the part that caused this silence.

There are two dance members in our team of only five.

Han Da-min with a B+ dance stat and Min Ha-young who showed confidence in her dancing.

Both of them probably want to take this part.

‘Come to think of it, what’s Min Ha-young’s dance stat like?’

Ding!

‘A grade…’

Ah, she had reason to be confident.

After thinking briefly, I decided that the dance break part competition wasn’t something I should get involved in.

Min Ha-young’s dance stat is A, Han Da-min’s is B+.

Simply looking at the status window, Min Ha-young would be the right choice, but Han Da-min has the skill to overcome the ability gap and more.

Once you go beyond B+, you’re at the level of the best dancers among idols, excluding professional dancers.

In the current situation, whether it’s B+ or A doesn’t seem to matter much.

“Ha-young said she wanted to do this part too, right? Actually, I really don’t want to give up this part either.”

“Ah, unnie is also really good at dancing.”

Looking at their conversation, neither seems willing to yield easily.

Let’s let the two of them figure it out themselves.

I picked up the lyric sheet and turned my head toward Choi Song-i.

“How about you, Song-i? You said earlier that there were many parts you wanted to do.”

Choi Song-i stared at me with her unchanging expressionless face and shrugged her shoulders.

“Which part do you want to do, unnie?”

“Huh? Ah, should I decide first?”

“Just do whatever you want. I can do whatever’s left. It doesn’t really matter.”

“Ah, really?”

Her face showed no particular desire or interest in any parts except for the intro she had missed earlier.

Thanks to that, it would be nice if I could do the part I wanted.

I nodded and pointed to the lyrics of the part I wanted with my finger.

“I want this part. Um, I’d like to do this part if that’s okay?”

“Huh? Where?”

When I asked deliberately in a slightly louder voice, the members who had been bickering over the dance part stopped their argument and looked at me.

“I’m confident in singing. I’d like to do the high note part in the latter half.”

Since there were many dance members, I thought I could easily claim it even though it was the highlight part.

“Ah, here. Alright, Ji-ye, want to try it?”

“Oh, I’m fine with it. But those high notes are really high, will you be okay?”

And just as I was about to confirm my part with the members’ favorable reactions.

Knock knock.

“Girls, are you doing your homework well?”

The conference room door opened and a lively voice came in along with a fresh fragrance.

The members who recognized the voice’s owner jumped up in surprise.

“Sunbae!”

“Good morning.”

“Good morning, right? Did you all eat, everyone?”

Our mentor Yu-hwa came today too with both hands full of snacks.

“I had a feeling you all came without eating, so I bought some food.”

“Thank you!”

The members immediately reached for the snacks.

It’s the first dormitory stay and filming, so they probably didn’t think to grab something for breakfast.

Yu-hwa watched the members eating snacks with satisfaction and said.

“I told you last time to try dividing the parts as you wanted, did you decide?”

“Ah…”

Among the hesitating members, Han Da-min spoke up.

“Sorry. We haven’t decided yet. The members’ desired parts overlap a bit.”

“Hey, why are you sorry? No, you’re not. You just started the meeting not long ago, right?”

Yu-hwa shook her head, speaking in a slightly stiff tone.

Come to think of it, Yu-hwa and Han Da-min are the same age, 25. For Yu-hwa, she’s a fellow singer of the same age who has already debuted, so it must be difficult to treat her as casually as other trainees.

Han Da-min also seemed to notice that Yu-hwa felt awkward and just nodded silently.

Yu-hwa spoke as if to dispel even the slightest uncomfortable atmosphere.

“Then we can decide together. I need to see both dancing and singing anyway, so shall we move to the practice room first?”

“Yes!”

Yu-hwa picked up her laptop and stood up first, and we followed her to the practice room.

***

The dormitory’s practice room that I entered for the first time.

Like the exterior, the interior was also very spacious and clean.

‘This would even work for rehearsals, wouldn’t it?’

I really loved how shiny the floor was too.

With a bit of exaggeration, I’d want to practice here for the rest of my life.

I got slightly excited thinking about practicing and swept the floor back and forth with my hand before straightening my gaze.

On the surface, I was calmly admiring the practice room, but actually there was a subtle tension lingering in this place.

“Then continuing the part meeting from earlier, you were deciding on the dance part?”

“Yes.”

“Which trainees want to apply for the dance part? Can those who want to do it raise their hands?”

At Yu-hwa’s words, Han Da-min and Min Ha-young raised their hands. Yu-hwa gestured to the two.

“Then can you two come forward?”

Han Da-min and Min Ha-young simultaneously looked at each other, then quietly stood up and walked toward Yu-hwa.

As the two moved away, the surrounding tension was released to a surprising degree. Choi Song-i quietly muttered.

“Suffocating.”

Tell me about it.

Actually, Song-i and I didn’t have much to be nervous about.

Song-i said she wasn’t particularly interested in parts, and I was, honestly, confident in vocals even if there was competition for the part I wanted.

That’s why I could calmly admire the practice room.

But those two really have equal skills when it comes to dance.

This is the only solo dance part in this song, and the song structure means there’s no other opportunity for dance members to showcase their dancing.

Plus, they need to claim the dance member image of this newly formed group, so it’s an even more unloseable fight.

This was a matter of pride.

Yu-hwa looked at the two standing with serious expressions and said.

“The point of this part is to charge forward from the previous part and immediately transition into the dance break. So it’s not just about dancing well – the preceding vocal part is all one set.”

At her words, Han Da-min had a face that showed she already knew, while Min Ha-young stiffened slightly.

Though it was an expression seen through the mirror, her flustered look was clearly evident.

‘Min Ha-young’s vocal grade was D.’

She must have been so focused on the dance break that she didn’t think the vocal part following it would be the main dancer’s part.

“I’ll go first.”

While Min Ha-young was hesitating, Han Da-min stepped forward.

Her expression was full of confidence. Han Da-min’s vocal grade was C+.

It wasn’t particularly high, but it was a decent skill level, and since the part itself wasn’t difficult, she would probably handle it with ease.

“Then please begin.”

At Yu-hwa’s signal, Han Da-min immediately started dancing and singing.

Orange color embroidering the sky

Ra ta ta-

“Oh…”

Yu-hwa and I let out exclamations of admiration simultaneously.

As expected, Han Da-min handled this vocal part very smoothly and stably.

But the exclamation wasn’t because her skills were good.
