The Chaebol’s Daughter Has Debuted
Chapter 210
Flora aside, U&Da and even May Rookie, who we were completely at odds with, confidently raised their hands.
At first I was flustered since it was a scene of myself I didn’t remember, but even without memory, I could easily understand my psychological state in the video.
The way I kept glancing at the members who were talking and carefully trying to leave my spot was clearly someone who wanted to rest but was running away in case the young kids would talk to me.
When I slightly raised my hand, Choi Gyu-jin laughed and pointed at me while shaking his head.
“Oh no~ That won’t do. The person involved is prohibited from getting the answer right. Telling your own members is also against the rules!”
“We know even without you telling us! Me! Me!”
Min Ha-young jumped up and shouted.
I lowered my hand again and awkwardly told the fans ‘I’m not allowed’ before straightening my posture.
Meanwhile, the May Rookie member who raised her hand fastest was chosen by Choi Gyu-jin and jumped up.
“Uh, um! Ji-ye! It looks like you’re being shy!”
That’s obviously the right answer.
“Wrong! Incorrect!”
Huh, it’s not?
“Eh, that’s not it? I thought it was that too.”
“Isn’t it being shy? Anyone can see that’s what it is.”
The performers all lowered their hands. What is it? What is it? Seeing their faces that showed they had no idea, announcer Choi Gyu-jin said.
“You need to be more specific. And Ji-ye does another action after that, you know?”
“What action?”
“Ah, I feel like I’ve seen this video before, why can’t I remember?”
The U&Da members, true to their role as the comic relief of our Start Plan, were expressing their frustration at not remembering by twisting their whole bodies.
They kept sneakily glancing at me, ready to secretly ask me what it was as soon as we made eye contact.
May Rookie seemed to have no clue at all, apparently not having watched it at all due to their emotional entanglement with us.
“Haha, everyone! If you watched Start Plan properly, you’d know this problem! Our fans probably all know, right?”
At Choi Gyu-jin’s words, the fans waved their light sticks as if frustrated that they wanted to say what the answer was.
“Look at this. The fans all know, but will our cast members know!”
Then the I Meet You members suddenly raised their hands.
“Ah, I Meet You!”
After twisting their bodies trying to remember, they finally seemed to have figured it out.
“That, that thing! That! Eavesdropping! Right!”
…What are they saying. Eavesdropping. There’s no way I would do something so uncool.
“…I Meet You, could you organize your thoughts and say it properly once more?”
What?
Choi Gyu-jin spoke seriously to I Meet You in a much lower voice.
No way, surely not. There’s no way I would do such a thing.
“I think you crawled like that and hid behind the sofa to eavesdrop on their conversation? Ah, or not…”
When I Meet You said this with an uncertain expression, Choi Gyu-jin grinned and shouted.
“Correct!”
“Really?”
The words slipped out of me without realizing.
“I eavesdropped? That can’t be right.”
At my words, the audience burst into hearty laughter. Announcer Choi Gyu-jin spoke very playfully.
“That’s right. Correct, Ji-ye. You secretly! Hid! And sneakily! Eavesdropped that day!”
“Me?!”
“Yes!”
Everyone burst into laughter at the strange situational drama between me and Choi Gyu-jin.
“Then let’s watch the situation that follows and hear Ji-ye’s story about it.”
And the video played.
In the video, I crawled on the floor to behind the sofa and sat quietly, clearly conscious of the trainees behind me.
Oh my goodness. Why did I do that.
“Now, Ji-ye. Do you remember that time?”
“Actually, I don’t remember it at all. Haha…”
After thinking for a moment, I continued.
“I probably didn’t intend to eavesdrop. Maybe I just liked that spot?”
While speaking, I remembered. That was the day Min Ha-young and Han Da-min fought.
It was during a period of heavy editing, so it was probably cut into pieces and put into different episodes.
It was when I got exhausted from mediating between Han Da-min and Min Ha-young when they were fighting and collapsed.
I was about to return to the practice room after hearing people talking, but I thought it would be more stressful to see those two fighting in the practice room, so I was doing that.
But I couldn’t say that.
“Or maybe it’s this. I just wanted to become friends.”
“…Ji-ye, you wanted to become friends with us from back then?”
“That’s kind of nice?”
U&Da and I Meet You spoke as if they had been waiting for this.
“What~”
They’re such loving kids anyway. Even though I said it lightly, they’re so happy about it.
But still, I was really tired and struggling back then. To sit there spacing out for so long in front of the cameras.
Anyway, my video passed like that. And next, various trainees’ clip videos went by.
A scene of U&Da worrying that they weren’t as funny as others and had no personality (it was right after meeting I Meet You).
A scene of I Meet You being noisy and chattering until finally getting warned by the writer.
And a scene of May Rookie and Romance Story playing games to compete for the biggest practice room.
A scene of First Year hovering around other teams’ practice rooms, debating whether to talk to them because they wanted to become friends with other teams.
Looking at it this way, everyone had many fun memories and I could understand why fans supported them.
And the last video.
“Please show us the long-awaited final clip!”
The last video was as expected.
[But this is actually kind of cute]
[Why am I a parrot?]
[It’s cute but it would be really uncomfortable to sleep in.]
It was a scene from our animal sleepwear live broadcast.
In the video, we had a conversation in the bathroom and then came out wearing animal sleepwear.
Along with subtitles saying ‘The production staff didn’t provide this…they prepared it themselves…’, cute BGM that would suit I Meet You played.
And just as we were about to start the live broadcast.
“Stop here!”
Choi Gyu-jin stopped the video.
“Now, Flora, this part has been very questionable since it aired. Do you know?”
Han Da-min picked up the microphone.
“Yes, it was actually a question that came up without fail for a long time when we met fans.”
“Among them were questions like how did you prepare pajamas in advance, did you know about the mission beforehand and prepare, these kinds of doubts? There was some controversy. How about it.”
“No, that’s…”
As soon as she finished speaking, the members pointed at Seo Ra-eun.
Min Ha-young said.
“This unnie just prepared it.”
“Ra-eun unnie is basically Doraemon’s pocket.”
“She’s very emotionally rich and likes to create atmosphere even in the dormitory.”
“Right. We’re just hanging out and she lights candles. I thought I was getting proposed to.”
“No, hey…”
At the members’ words, the fans laughed and Seo Ra-eun was embarrassed.
“Anyway, this unnie likes to do things that will become memories for all of us together. That day was also prepared for that reason, right?”
Seo Ra-eun nodded.
“It felt like a school trip… I didn’t know it would become such a hot topic.”
“Haha, you heard that, everyone? It wasn’t something Start Plan told them to prepare in advance, but something they prepared to make memories with the members. Now, next…”
After that, we continued our talk by discussing many stories about each team’s reverse gifts for this concert, preparation anecdotes, and playing games. After wrapping up, the concert came to an end with all the cast members coming out to sing the group opening song together.
And on the night when all schedules were finished.
“I’m going out for a bit.”
Song-i’s appearance late at night, pulling her hat down low as she spoke, seemed unusual.
“…Okay, um. Should I come with you?”
At Han Da-min’s words, Choi Song-i firmly shook her head and left the house.
We could tell without saying anything.
Song-i was going to have a showdown with her mother.
“Will she be okay? If something happens by any chance…”
“Let’s wait and see. Song-i must have her own thoughts.”
On the night after the concert ended, when we should have been tired and wanting to rest, everyone waited for Song-i with wide-open eyes.
The long night was deepening.
***
“How is this for my sake?”
Inside the house filled with classical melodies, as if showing the atmosphere of the two people standing face to face, the spacious house was coldly filled with chill.
Song-i looked at her mother’s trembling fists and for the first time looked straight into her eyes.
“Stop it now. Stop being a nuisance to us. Mother.”
Us.
At her words, Song Geum-yeong’s eyes widened.
Choi Song-i’s “us” meant it was no longer family.
