“What?”
It was truly an out-of-the-blue comment.
I couldn’t be sure what he meant by saying that.
After saying those words, Kim Gwang-cheon started looking for the wallet again as if nothing had happened.
‘Did I say something wrong?’
Since my concept was like that, I had said some pretty cheeky things here and there.
But for now, I decided to pretend not to know and stick to my concept.
Kim Gwang-cheon wasn’t saying anything yet.
‘If he’s really uncomfortable, he’ll tell me.’
Come to think of it, if the wallet we need to find was stolen, shouldn’t we be looking for a person rather than searching through places?
“Class President, we’ve searched all the lockers but it doesn’t seem to be here. Should we go through all the desk drawers too?”
“I’ve been thinking, teacher. I don’t think the wallet would be in the classroom.”
“What? You’re the one who said we should search here first.”
“Yes. I did say that, but thinking about it now, wouldn’t a thief have the wallet? Then we should look for the thief first.”
“A thief?”
Maybe Han Da-min who ran out suddenly was the right answer.
Then Kim Gwang-cheon looked around the classroom with a reluctant expression and said,
“Still, we’ve searched almost everything, wouldn’t it be better to finish looking here before we go?”
“Do you want to finish searching here before going, teacher?”
“Think about it – what if we go look somewhere else after doing this much, and then it’s found here? You’d regret it too, wouldn’t you, Class President? Right?”
Hmm… To be honest, now that I think about it that way, I don’t think there would be anything to regret.
But there’s no need to argue against Kim Gwang-cheon’s opinion.
“I think I would regret it. Should we search a bit more before going?”
“Yeah, yeah, let’s do that. We’ve already searched almost everything anyway.”
“Yes.”
“Wow, Class President, you’re nicer than I thought.”
“Haha, thank you.”
I hear that a lot since becoming Ryu Ji-ye.
I guess to other people, I must look pretty stubborn and disobedient.
After a light greeting, I started going through the desk drawers again.
Then Kim Gwang-cheon opened the cleaning supply cabinet at the back of the classroom and asked,
“Class President, is there anything you’re good at?”
“Something I’m good at?”
“Yeah, like a special skill or something.”
Ah, like gag dance? I thought for a moment and said,
“I’m good at dancing.”
“Dancing? Aw, that’s too common a talent.”
Kim Gwang-cheon said with a disappointed tone.
“Don’t you have something special?”
“Something special?”
What special thing could there be.
The special thing Kim Gwang-cheon was talking about would probably be something novel like comedy or voice impressions.
Unfortunately, FLORA hadn’t had enough time to practice such talents yet.
At least Han Da-min might have something from her previous group activities.
The few voice impressions I had practiced as Hong Yeo-eun became unusable since my voice itself changed when I became Ryu Ji-ye.
‘But I don’t want to back out here saying I can’t do it…’
Kim Gwang-cheon was giving me an opportunity to get screen time.
I couldn’t waste such an opportunity carelessly.
‘If I had known this would happen, I would have practiced group talents or something.’
“Nothing? FLORA is kind of boring~”
While I was pondering, I suddenly snapped to attention at Kim Gwang-cheon’s joking tone.
“No. I do have something, but I need a moment to prepare mentally.”
“Mental preparation too? What did you prepare?”
Of course I hadn’t prepared anything, but I’d just have to wing it.
In fact, unless you have outstanding skills, how similar a voice impression is doesn’t really matter.
Even if it falls flat, just doing it and getting laughed at is better for broadcast purposes.
I spoke while pretending to be a little shy.
“Actually, I’m a huge fan of yours, senior.”
“Senior?”
“I mean teacher. I prepared a voice impression of you, teacher.”
“My voice impression?”
This was actually a talent show act I had practiced when I was Hong Yeo-eun.
I had thought someday if Kim Gwang-cheon asked me to do it on radio, I should be ready, so I practiced it, but unfortunately never got to perform it.
Although my voice and expressions are all different from back then, what matters is just doing it.
‘It’s not really a voice impression, more like copying behavior and speech patterns.’
The viewers watching this and FLORA’s fans probably wouldn’t expect me to do a proper voice impression anyway.
…Probably.
“Ooh, you’re the first person to try imitating me.”
“Just please watch with fan affection.”
I lightly cleared my throat and covered my mouth with my hand.
“Ah ah, can you hear me. This is 41.8 M-A-H-Z-ter. 41.8 M-A-H-Z-ter!”
Just from that much, the production staff who were filming started quietly holding back laughter.
“Hey, Class President. Wait a minute.”
Kim Gwang-cheon panicked and hurriedly reached out to stop me. But he couldn’t stop my mouth that had already started.
Encouraged by people’s pretty good reactions, I spoke even more excitedly, mixing in a bit of dialect accent.
“Nice to meet you all for the first time. The new DJ who will take care of your nights~, your new cutie! I, Kim Gwang-cheon, greet you!”
This was one of Kim Gwang-cheon’s dark history moments that wasn’t famous but only known to those in the know.
While Kim Gwang-cheon speaks standard Korean now, until just a few years ago he was an entertainer with a strong Gyeongsang Province dialect.
On the first day that Kim Gwang-cheon challenged himself to be a late-night radio broadcast DJ.
He had prepared his best for the first broadcast, but because he didn’t know how to read frequency units and said “M-A-H-Z-ter” instead of “megahertz,” and conducted the broadcast with an event-style energetic voice unsuitable for late night, he apparently became quite the laughingstock at the time.
There’s a theory that the reason he suddenly started using standard Korean, when his dialect was considered charming, was to match the tone of late-night radio after this incident.
Anyway, as years passed and this scene became something hardly anyone remembers anymore, I, a rookie singer, shamelessly brought it back out.
I remember that even when I was Hong Yeo-eun, I had secretly prepared this to fluster Kim Gwang-cheon, and in the end, I really did manage to fluster him with it.
It’s truly a remarkable and monumental occasion.
“Wait, how old are you? How do you know this?”
The production staff’s continued laughter and Kim Gwang-cheon’s bright red face.
He looked very surprised and embarrassed, but also seemed just as pleased.
I smiled shamelessly and said.
“I told you I’m really a fan of yours, teacher.”
I can hear it. The sound of my favorability rising sharply in Kim Gwang-cheon’s heart…
Ding!
(Kim Gwang-cheon) is moved by your sincerity!
(Kim Gwang-cheon)’s favorability is now unlocked.
(Kim Gwang-cheon)’s favorability toward you is 32.
The type of affection (Kim Gwang-cheon) has for you is ‘General’.
‘Oh! I did it!’
Kim Gwang-cheon’s favorability has finally been unlocked.
The favorability system sometimes opens for regular people as well as our Flora members, but the conditions for unlocking it are quite strict compared to the members.
The other person must clearly recognize me as an individual existence, not just someone passing by.
Plus, it only opens when they have definite affection.
Among these, ‘General’ is for ordinary affection where the type isn’t clear yet.
Still, it was an incredible harvest.
‘I’m glad I did it.’
He must have really liked my talent show performance.
Ding!
(Jung Woon-han)’s favorability is now unlocked.
…Huh?
Jung Woon-han… that’s the PD?
Without realizing it, I looked at Main PD Jung Woon-han, and he was smiling with interest while talking to the Main Writer.
He laughed enthusiastically throughout my voice impression, so the PD must have liked it too.
Maybe I actually have quite a talent for making people laugh with voice impressions.
Anyway, I hid my slightly excited expression.
“I’ll continue what I was doing now.”
Then I went back to rummaging through the drawer with a nonchalant face, but suddenly had a thought and looked back at Kim Gwang-cheon.
“But teacher.”
“…Huh?”
“Can’t I dance too?”
“What?”
No, if I get buried in the talent show and can’t do what I originally planned, what’s the point of all this.
When he asked me about my special skill, the reason I dared to say I’d dance even after hearing about the gag dance example was because there was something I wanted to do.
“You want to dance too? Class President, you’re quite the spirited friend, more than I thought. If you want to do it, go ahead. What kind of dance did you prepare?”
Receiving Kim Gwang-cheon’s much warmer gaze, I calmly walked to the back of the classroom.
Then I began dancing while singing energetically.
“If you listen closely, you can hear it, the sound of my heart~”
“Huh? Oh, this is!”
Kim Gwang-cheon burst into laughter as if he was going crazy.
What kind of dance, you ask.
It’s our dance.
I confidently sang and danced to the chorus of 【Blooming】, which is mainly used for challenges.
If someone makes you perform a special skill on a broadcast, and they make you repeat it endlessly like a gag dance.
Wouldn’t it be better to repeat our song instead? That’s what I thought when I discussed it with the staff and brought this.
I would have been disappointed if they didn’t let me do it.
