The Elderly People all shouted the slogan in unison and burst into giggles.
Their response and coordination were surprisingly good.
As expected of the Elderly People’s national program, National Singing Competition.
The Elderly People, who had looked bored even before the Members introduced themselves, suddenly began sending curious glances.
I completely disarmed my expression and spoke in an event tone.
“Actually, isn’t that right? If you Elderly People want it, we could sing and dance too, but would that be exciting?”
“It wouldn’t!”
“Honestly, it would be a bit boring!”
“Well, these young folks don’t know many of our songs~”
So they didn’t show it much, but the Elderly People also didn’t want to hear the Guests’ Trot.
“For real excitement, what should we do? Our Elderly People should dance themselves! And sing too!”
“That’s right!”
“Exactly!”
When I spoke in a tone you’d hear at festival events, Min Ha-young covered her mouth with an expression of being unable to bear the cringe.
I know too. That this is completely different from my usual image.
But what can I do? There’s no one else here to do this, so the person who suggested it has to do it.
Communication with the Elderly People is still difficult and awkward, but fortunately I did this kind of thing a lot when I was Hong Yeo-eun, so I’m not too embarrassed.
“So we’ve prepared this. Any Elder who’s confident they can have an amazing time! Please raise your hand and we’ll invite you up front in order.”
“I can’t sing without a Microphone~”
“Oh, don’t worry. We’ll give you a Microphone, and if you need any Costumes or Props, we’ve prepared those too.”
How about that!
I looked at Kim Gwang-cheon to check. Fortunately, Kim Gwang-cheon’s expression wasn’t bad either.
This event was something the Guests had to prepare themselves, so honestly I was worried about what to do if he thought I’d made things too big.
Instead, he looked satisfied.
“Anyone who says they can perform on Stage as well as a singer! Hands up!”
“Me!”
“Me!”
The Elderly People got excited and raised their hands high, everyone competing.
I pointed to Leader Grandmother who was at the very front among them.
“Then let’s first listen to our Leader Grandmother’s song, shall we?”
“Yes!”
The Elderly People answered like Students responding to a Teacher and dragged their Floor Cushions to huddle right in front of the Platform.
And shortly after, Leader Grandmother, dressed up with help from the Production Staff and Members, approached the Platform with a shy expression.
I spoke to the Elderly People who had become the audience.
“Now Leader Grandmother seems to be all ready. Then please come out!”
Then I quickly came down from the Platform and went to Min Ha-young’s side.
Soon a rich Trot intro flowed from the Karaoke Machine’s Speaker.
Min Ha-young hit my side with an incredulous face, snickering.
“Hey, what was that just now?”
“I’m regretting it. Ah, I should have told you to do it instead of stepping forward myself.”
“You want me to host? Eh, I can’t do it… But you did pretty well and energetically? Is FLORA’s image really okay?”
“I have to do it…”
The only embarrassing thing was that Min Ha-young was watching me with a strange expression.
Min Ha-young stared at me intently and then suddenly burst into laughter.
“Hey, don’t pretend to be calm! Your ears are completely red right now.”
Anyway, Leader Grandmother sang her song with great enthusiasm, and thanks to that, this place became like a festival.
And starting with Leader Grandmother, the other Elderly People also took turns going up on stage to show off their special talents.
When I sneakily checked Kim Gwang-cheon’s complexion, he was grinning widely and clapping his hands to the rhythm of the songs.
Although it unintentionally became me making them perform rather than them wanting to perform, seeing Kim Gwang-cheon laugh, it seems like the footage will turn out pretty well.
After a while, all the Elderly People finished their talent show. Then Leader Grandmother went back up on the platform and took the microphone from the last participant.
Then, feeling excited, she pointed at me and said in a coquettish voice.
“Everyone~ How can it be right for only us to sing and have fun~”
“No way~”
“It’s not right!”
“Shouldn’t we also listen to our pretty hosts sing~”
I didn’t expect this?
She seems to be in a good mood from having such a great time.
Seeing that she wants to watch our talent show too, it seems she’s reluctant to end this festival like this.
“Oh my, of course. We’ve prepared a lot too.”
Kim Gwang-cheon said energetically and pushed May Rookie, who was next to him, up onto the platform.
“Come on, singers. Hurry up and go sing to earn some work.”
In the end, all of us members had to go up on the platform and sing trot before we could earn work and side dishes.
“Wow. Well done, kids. You had prepared this?”
After the National Singing Competition ended, Kim Gwang-cheon smiled brightly and gave a thumbs up.
“I never thought I’d see a National Singing Competition here. Whose idea was this?”
“This was Ji-ye’s idea!”
“Ji-ye did this…”
When Min Ha-young said this energetically, the other Cast Members also timidly pointed at me.
“This was also Ji-ye?”
Kim Gwang-cheon moved his raised thumb toward me and asked.
“How did you think of having the Grandmothers do a singing contest?”
“After watching the show a few times, I noticed everyone only sang trot. I thought they might be getting tired of it.”
“As expected, this kid, look at this. She has sense.”
Kim Gwang-cheon chuckled and gestured for everyone to go.
“Anyway, Ji-ye worked hard hosting, and the other kids worked hard dressing up the Elderly People and pleasing them. The Grandmothers are quite strong-willed, so you must have had some trouble.”
“…Haha, not at all.”
The Cast Members answered with expressions that clearly said it wasn’t “not at all.”
“Anyway, now that we have work to do, give me the Side Dish Bundle and everyone go take care of your tasks.”
As soon as the singing competition ended, we had time to receive simple tasks from the Grandmothers.
The Grandmothers designated the people they wanted to give tasks to.
Thankfully, I was pointed out last because it seemed like I wouldn’t be able to do the work well.
-The host young miss looks too delicately raised, so she probably can’t do any work~
The grandmothers really didn’t have any empty words or flattery.
I ended up doing very simple mart errands together with Min Ha-young.
“Alright, princess. Let’s go!”
Min Ha-young energetically grabbed the steering wheel.
“Just trust me!”
“….”
“I haven’t really driven much, but this is the countryside so there aren’t many people, so it should be fine, right?”
I tried hard to hide my suspicious gaze.
Does she not know that driving on country roads is actually more difficult?
I wanted to say something, but Ryu Ji-ye doesn’t have a driver’s license and needs to catch a ride, so I couldn’t say anything.
However, even though I acted calm, Min Ha-young seemed to notice my thoughts and giggled while beckoning me over.
“Hey, don’t worry, don’t worry. I’m better at driving than you think, okay? Get in, hurry. Hey, get in.”
“Yeah…. No, I trust you.”
“Come on, no empty words between us. Let’s hurry up and go.”
I approached the car as slowly as possible and sat in the passenger seat. As soon as I sat down, the car jolted greatly.
When I looked at Min Ha-young in terror, she broke out in a cold sweat and laughed loudly.
“Oh! No, no. It’s fine. I just made one mistake.”
“Well, I don’t have a driver’s license so I don’t know much. But my older brother said….”
“Huh?”
“Country roads are harder to drive on than city roads…. They’re more winding and not as well-paved.”
In the end, I timidly spoke up.
“I just felt like I should say something….”
“Oh, really?”
Min Ha-young’s expression suddenly became serious. She looked at the cameras installed here and there in the car and seemed to think for a while, then said “Whatever, I don’t know!” and grabbed the handle again.
“Just trust me once. I’ll try to go as carefully as possible.”
“Yeah, yeah! Of course! I trust you.”
And the car started.
While getting out to the main road, the car frequently hesitated and jolted, but we still came out of the winding road without any major problems.
And before we knew it, the sun was setting.
The sky with the sunset glow. The car that came out to the main road drove refreshingly on the clear road without traffic.
“Maybe it’s because the air is clean. The sky looks incredibly clear.”
“I know, right. The sunset is so beautiful.”
“The members would really love this if they saw it.”
“Don’t you think Da-min unnie would really love this? When you think of Han Da-min, you think of romance. This kind of romantic thing is perfect for unnie.”
“Should we try a video call?”
“Sounds good~”
They might be stopping their music production work and eating together right about now.
I immediately called Han Da-min. After a couple of ring tones, I heard a voice right away.
-Yeah.
Ah, did I contact her too early?
On the mobile phone screen, Han Da-min, exhausted from music production work, was looking at me with a face that said she was dying of sleepiness.
