The Chaebol’s Daughter Has Debuted

Chapter 216

The nightmares that tormented me every single day for several days straight.

They were strangely vivid, to the point where I eventually became afraid to sleep.

Thanks to that, I’m becoming more haggard by the day…

Fortunately, it wasn’t during an active promotion period.

Thinking about the recurring nightmares from before, I’d probably have the same dream for about 2 weeks, so I’ll just have to endure until then.

“Princess, why are you so quiet? Are you really okay? Are you sick?”

Since I wasn’t talking, Min Ha-young asked worriedly.

I shook my head at Min Ha-young and got up.

“I’ve just been having bad dreams lately.”

“Again? You have nightmares really often. You don’t seem like it, but you’re really vulnerable to stress, aren’t you?”

“Ugh, I didn’t know either, but I guess so…”

I stretched with all my might and started walking.

“Anyway, I’ll be back.”

“Yeah, have a good practice.”

“Wait just a little even if you get bored.”

“If I get bored, I’ll just visit the practice room.”

I left the dormitory, leaving Min Ha-young waving her hand.

Even in the worst condition possible – no activities and not sleeping properly – there were still schedules and things to practice.

I squeezed my tired eyes shut tight, then opened them wide as I headed to the parking lot.

The pair performance practice with Han Da-min that was coming up was scheduled to continue late into the night today as well.

***

“…”

“…Pffft. Hak! Seriously, just a moment!”

Han Da-min was facing me when she suddenly turned her head away and burst into laughter.

“Wow, too close. I made serious eye contact with Princess.”

Seeing her jumping around here and there, making a fuss unlike her usual self, it seemed she was quite embarrassed about being face-to-face with me at such a close distance.

‘Well, that’s understandable…’

The close distance didn’t particularly matter, but the problem was that we had to maintain eye contact with each other at that distance.

No matter how comfortable we are with each other, no matter how close we usually are, staring at each other intently at this distance is a bit burdensome.

I felt the same way, so I thought Han Da-min escaped at just the right timing.

But I was conscious of the behind-the-scenes cameras around us and spoke shamelessly, pretending it was nothing.

“What’s wrong with making eye contact? Isn’t it good to make eye contact with Princess?”

“Oh my…”

Han Da-min shook her head as if she’d heard something she shouldn’t have, then made eye contact with me again.

Eventually, we both burst into laughter at the same time and left our positions.

A power sexy concept with a pair performance.

Inevitably, the two of us had to face each other or have physical contact.

Of course, we’re familiar with this kind of stage performance since we’ve done similar things at Start Plan.

However, making eye contact at such close distance is always difficult to get used to, no matter how many times we experience it.

Anyway, we were in a situation where we couldn’t get started properly from the intro of today’s practice.

All the choreography was perfect except for this part.

But the starting pose changed right before it was finalized.

‘We’re not making progress.’

Then On I-seul, the choreographer who had been standing with her back to the mirror, watching us both with amusement, giggled and gestured for us to stand close together again.

“You’re usually stuck together even when I tell you to separate, so why are you suddenly being so formal? Come on, young misses, stand close properly. You just have to endure this section, kids. Just endure for 10 seconds.”

“Ah~”

Han Da-min, who had been crouching in the corner of the practice room with a still-burdened expression, groaned and approached again.

Between our lips as we faced each other, stifled laughter escaped once more.

“Pfft.”

“Pff.”

However, no one here was particularly worried about this situation.

Because we always perform properly in actual performances, as if this never happened.

But ah, really… it is a bit burdensome.

We stared at each other with wide eyes and gritted teeth for a count of 10 seconds.

Finally, we were released from each other’s gaze and started the next choreography.

The song that had been playing continuously was WayOne’s “Lavender.”

It was already a very dynamic song, but we arranged the parts where the song’s mood changes to be more dramatic and prominent for our performance.

For example, we made the powerful parts even more powerful by adding military band sounds, and conversely, made the sexy parts much looser and stickier by reducing the intensity.

Thanks to this, Han Da-min and I had to stay up all night for several more days working on it.

Still, it seemed like we’d get a satisfying performance just as we intended.

We decided that Han Da-min would take the powerful parts and I would take the sexy parts, clearly showing each of our individual characteristics.

And at the end, we’d completely switch the mood for a pair performance to a trendy beat.

I liked the composition, but the choreography that On I-seul brought based on our ideas was also very good, so we’ve been practicing enjoyably these days.

…Though the choreography that keeps changing every other day is a bit tiring.

When my head was complicated with Song-i’s mother’s situation, I relieved a lot of stress with this.

“Okay, good. It would be almost perfect if you just didn’t laugh during the intro, right? It’s nice that you two learn quickly. Let’s take a short break and start again!”

After one round of practice ended, it was time for a short break.

Han Da-min, who had been making a fuss and moving away whenever she got the chance during practice, saying it was too burdensome, came over with a small camera and sat down next to me.

“Princess, I just heard from Manager unnie that we can post on SNS now.”

“Oh, really? Finally.”

I clenched my fist lightly to express my joy and immediately turned on my mobile phone.

“What, you’re going to post right away?”

Han Da-min leaned against my shoulder and looked at the phone screen.

“Well, since it came up, I’m just taking a look first.”

I tilted the phone slightly so Han Da-min could see the screen better and scrolled down.

The posts from our fans that appeared due to the algorithm were filled with cries looking for us.

Because we hadn’t appeared even after the Song Geum-yeong controversy had somewhat ended.

There are really various crying memes in the world.

After browsing SNS with Han Da-min and giggling for quite a while, I said,

“Should we give a spoiler?”

“Huh? What spoiler. You mean this?”

“Yeah. Unnie, this is the only thing we have to spoil, you know.”

“Pfft! Oh, that sounds good?”

This pair performance was originally content we planned to release almost immediately after the Start Plan concert ended.

Although the preparation itself was delayed because the Song Geum-yeong incident broke out right after that, if we somehow managed the tight schedule, it seemed we could match the release timing fairly close to the original plan.

Therefore, even if we uploaded a spoiler post today, fans wouldn’t have to wait long and would soon be able to see our performance.

Han Da-min excitedly grabbed my hand and shook it.

“What should we do? How about we just simply hint that the two of us are practicing separately?”

“Good. Just simply snap a picture of us in the mirror?”

“Eh. That’s too boring, Princess.”

“Then?”

“Hold out your hand like this.”

Han Da-min made a V-shape with her thumb and index finger, then laid it down with the back of her hand facing up.

“The same way?”

When I followed her and made a V-shape and laid it down, Han Da-min intertwined one finger with mine and pulled.

“Oh? Flirting like this?”

When I said this with a laugh, Han Da-min giggled and took a picture of our hands with my phone.

“How is it. Doesn’t it make you wonder what this is and seem very meaningful?”

“They’ll probably wonder why this is suddenly being posted.”

“Let’s post it. Let’s post it. Hurry and get it checked by Manager unnie.”

We immediately ran to Manager Ji-soo and quickly got confirmation, then uploaded the post right away.

Worried that fans might think we posted the photo by mistake, we also added tiger and bear emojis—mine and Han Da-min’s symbolic animals—along with a winking emoji to give them a little hint.

This was truly our first post in a long time since the controversy.

Naturally, the fans were overjoyed and welcomed us with countless hearts and comments, and after some time passed, the members’ comments began appearing on the post as if they had been waiting for it.
