The Chaebol’s Daughter Has Debuted

Chapter 218

“Da-min…!”

Yu-jin shouted without realizing it.

The gorgeous yet sharply defined outfit reminiscent of the costumes in 【Blooming】’s music video, and even the slightly stiff expression.

The feel of the song had changed completely from Ji-ye’s turn.

The clearly audible sound of a military band. Mixed with a strange rock sound.

Unlike Ji-ye’s time when the atmosphere was somewhat loosely relaxed, Da-min began dancing to an accompaniment filled with tension.

The dance also consisted mainly of more powerful and angular movements.

Han Da-min’s characteristic strong and flashy dance lines that she had shown since Star Plan with the dancers.

Added to that was choreography that only professional dancers would normally do, which she couldn’t usually show.

Yu-jin’s cheeks, which had already soared to the sky long ago, twitched as if they would burst at that sight.

“What the heck…. When did she prepare something like this….”

It was so much more serious than expected that throughout watching, only “what the heck” and “crazy” came out of her mouth.

Da-min and Ji-ye contrasting with completely different concepts and songs arranged solely for performance.

It was a much better performance than fans had imagined while looking forward to the two’s show.

It was the moment when Han Da-min’s choreography continued like a whirlwind and the immersion reached its peak.

Snap. The music cut off abruptly as if a fuse had really blown, and the screen faded to black.

Then Ji-ye appeared again with red lighting.

Slow finger snapping sounds and the Lavender melody changed to a jazz style.

This time, an atmosphere and choreography that emphasized sexiness rather than being dreamy continued.

Completely different from the whirlwind-like Da-min, it was choreography focused on being leisurely, relaxed, and elegant while emphasizing dance lines to the fullest.

And the screen switched to Han Da-min again.

This time, choreography that continued with much lighter and faster movements in complete electronic sound without military band sounds.

“Wow…. She’s completely flying.”

This was it.

Fast, light, yet showmanship-filled dancing.

Those body movements that made Yu-jin, who had been enchanted by Ji-ye, fall for Da-min like a pyramid scheme.

Da-min and Ji-ye repeated exchanging with different choreography and concepts several times like that.

But again, it was Ji-ye’s turn.

The song’s atmosphere suddenly changed dramatically. Following the Lavender melody that had changed to trendy hip-hop with a loose beat, Ji-ye led the dancers and slowly headed somewhere.

The red lighting that had heavily colored the set studio gradually changed to pink.

Where Ji-ye arrived, Han Da-min and her dancers were already waiting with their formation ready.

Ji-ye and Da-min looked at each other briefly before starting choreography together.

A pair dance where they showed off different dance lines as if competing, revealing their individuality while perfectly synchronized.

At some point, the dancers had disappeared from the venue, leaving only the two dancing.

Choreography that was somewhat aggressive yet breathtakingly sexy, fitting the concept of the song Lavender, continued before they finished the performance with their backs against each other.

“….”

Yu-jin, who had watched the special clip to the end, was speechless.

She just quietly refreshed and read the comments as if feeling the afterglow, then played the video once more.

She replayed the video several times like that.

***

The reaction to the pair video was very good.

The song had a lot of arrangement work done, and since we composed the song so that the concept would change dramatically each time the turn switched, there was actually a thought that it was a gamble.

The view count was soaring day by day, as the reaction was big not only domestically but also overseas.

Kim Ja-in was also pleased, saying that Flora’s overseas interest level was rising significantly.

Domestically, it was also a video showing that Flora, who might have faltered after the Song Geum-yeong incident, was doing her job without caring about the incident at all.

Especially, Wei Yin, the original artist, shared our video on SNS with praise, receiving unprecedented attention.

‘I hope the other members’ clips turn out well like this too.’

Was Ha-young next? She’s currently holed up in the practice room creating performance choreography with choreographer On I-seul.

I got up after browsing through the reviews and GIFs that fans had posted.

Ding!

[Young Miss, I have arrived. You may come down.]

I sighed automatically at the message full of politeness.

“Amazing how they call me on a day with no schedule….”

At this point, I suspect the family members know my entire schedule.

I trudged out of the dormitory.

This morning, as soon as I woke up, I received a call from Grandfather.

After avoiding the awkward meeting this way and that, Grandfather finally forced a summons.

Grandfather suddenly came to the family home and notified me of a lunch appointment through Ryu Jae-geum.

Since he even sent a driver to call me, I couldn’t make excuses and had to go meet Grandfather.

“Hello, Driver. It’s been a while.”

“Yes, Young Miss. You’ve become more dignified in the meantime.”

I let out a deep sigh as I got into the car Grandfather sent.

‘Right. I have to meet him eventually….’

I kept postponing it because it was awkward, but I thought I’d meet him someday.

I didn’t think it would be today, but thinking about it, if not now when activities have ended, there really wouldn’t be any timing to meet.

The person who leads the great Hongjin Corporation.

The strict grandfather who makes Ji-ye feel intimidated every time they meet.

It’s not entirely unrelated that Ji-ye became more of a troublemaker acting out because of that.

How would that conservative grandfather view my entertainment industry activities?

Since there had been various controversies recently, this sudden summons was even more worrying.

While carrying worries as big as Mount Tai and sighing deeply, the car was already going down to the home basement parking lot.

“How is Grandfather’s mood today?”

When I spoke to the driver, he glanced at me through the rearview mirror and said briefly.

“Not good.”

“Yes. Thank you for the information.”

I held back the sigh that was about to come out habitually and got out of the car.

Just the increased number of protocol team members and cars in the parking lot compared to usual made me feel suffocated as I slowly walked toward the house.

“Welcome.”

“Oh my, is that really Young Miss Ji-ye? You’ve grown so much since I last saw you?”

“Being a celebrity, even your way of dressing has changed!”

As I entered the house, the employees gathered around and began greeting me warmly.

When I used to live here before, they weren’t this affectionate.

Since they only saw me on broadcasts now, they must have strangely missed me.

“Have you been well?”

“Of course! You looked even prettier when we saw you on broadcasts?”

Everyone’s complexion had improved considerably, so Ryu Ji-ye must have been quite a troublemaker for them.

I conversed with the employees as I headed to the room where the family members were.

The employees who had been noisily expressing their joy gradually became quiet and began returning to their places one by one.

A room that exuded solemnity even before opening the door.

“…Phew.”

I took a deep breath and opened the door.

A cold energy flowed in on the wind.

Looking straight ahead, I saw family members looking at me with unusually expressionless, hardened faces.

Among them, a cold and stern elderly man quietly watching me.

I bowed my head in the suffocating silence.

“It’s been a long time. Grandfather.”

Grandfather had no response for quite a while even after hearing my greeting.

Then he spoke in a heavy voice.

“Now you know how to greet properly. Sit down.”

At Grandfather’s words, the family members all showed relieved expressions.

The most recent time she met Grandfather, she had been immediately kicked out for entering and sitting without greeting.

I remember that at that family dinner, not only was Ji-ye excluded, but he didn’t give her a single glance.

Ji-ye had been in shock for several days before being forced by the family to write a lengthy reflective letter saying, ‘Grandfather, I was wrong. I’ll greet you properly from now on.’

Still, thinking back, Grandfather didn’t actually dislike Ji-ye – he was fine as long as she showed proper manners.

Today should be fine, I suppose.

“Yes.”

I answered politely and headed toward an empty seat.

With each step I took, Grandfather’s gaze seemed to stick to me, evaluating me.

Once I sat down, Grandfather spoke.

“Your broadcasting activities have been going reasonably well without much trouble.”

“…Yes.”

Oh, he’s being more objective than I expected.

She was such a disliked granddaughter, and controversies kept erupting almost daily around the entertainment activities he had reluctantly permitted after opposing them. I thought he’d be thinking, ‘I knew this would happen.’

But did he actually watch with more interest than I thought?

Surprisingly, he seems to understand the context behind the controversies quite well.

When I looked at him with surprised eyes, he said with his still stern expression.

“Well, I suppose you do have some talents.”
