The Chaebol’s Daughter Has Debuted

Chapter 235

Usually when filming with that kind of story in such locations, don’t they wear school looks with a private school atmosphere that doesn’t exist in reality, rather than actual school uniforms?

But this…

It’s not even a pretty uniform, but a plain gray school uniform with an ordinary design and fit that looks like something from 10 years ago.

“Your status has really dropped, Princess.”

Min Ha-young said, looking me up and down.

“Weren’t you a queen during ‘Bloom’?”

“That’s right. You went from queen to student like this.”

After saying that, she looked down at mine and Min Ha-young’s outfits for a moment and said.

“But isn’t this costume a bit strange? I honestly feel a bit out of place.”

“You too? Me too.”

Min Ha-young giggled and took a picture of me in the school uniform with her mobile phone camera.

“Isn’t it the same universe as ‘Bloom’? During ‘Bloom’ they put us in really pretty outfits, but suddenly this?”

“So when they said today’s filming continues from yesterday, they meant the costumes continue too.”

Min Ha-young let out a hollow laugh.

That’s right.

Actually, today isn’t our first day of filming.

We had a short filming session yesterday too.

We did some strange filming at an ordinary high school, not this gloomy location, performing some kind of weird ritual.

In broad daylight, with all the Members gathered around a single open book in the center, holding hands and muttering something…

Everyone was making a fuss about how performing such a mysterious ritual in a bright classroom with sunlight streaming in felt even more bizarre.

It wasn’t even part of the original story, but something that Jang Jak-so, the music video director, suddenly consulted with the Agency about and added right before the filming schedule, so the Members still don’t know what yesterday’s filming was about.

Naturally, I don’t know either.

‘I see… So that’s why he asked in the initial meeting how tightly woven Flora’s universe and story were…’

It seems he had additional settings and stories he wanted to add based on the ‘Bloom’ story.

‘Anyway, the Staff said it became much more interesting than the original story…’

Since they say that, I try to accept that today’s first filming costume is this mouse-colored school uniform.

“…Sigh.”

Right, actually this school uniform costume wasn’t originally what we were supposed to wear for today’s filming either.

Even during the preliminary discussions, it was definitely a pretty outfit that looked like something from a British private school, even if it was all black and white.

We weren’t complaining about feeling out of place or calling it mouse-colored and plain for no reason.

I think Jang Jak-so values the atmosphere and story of the video itself more than the beauty of the subjects.

‘There was also an idol music video among Jang Jak-so’s works that came out entirely in black and white.’

But I’m not planning to meekly give up on Visual in this mouse-colored uniform just to satisfy Jang Jak-so’s creative desires.

Ding!

[Group Buff] ‘Breaking up? But I look really pretty right now?’ buff operating normally!

I looked contentedly at the buff that was practically free.

Simply put, it’s a buff that raises your Appearance grade by one level while active, allowing you to win back the hearts of people who have lost interest or whose feelings have cooled.

A B-grade buff that came out after spinning six random buff boxes.

Although it only lasts a week, since it actually raises your Appearance grade for a week rather than being an optical illusion buff, that appearance remains permanently in any videos or photos taken during that period.

Truly a perfect buff to use when filming a comeback music video.

But using the ‘Group Management System’ I received as a reward for completing a previous mission, I can share this buff with all Flora Members.

So right now, our Members look quite beautiful despite wearing mouse-colored school uniforms.

I looked contentedly at the Members scattered here and there.

Huh? The makeup really worked well today? It was a natural appearance upgrade at that level.

At this level, well.

Even if we have complaints about the costumes, there won’t be any situation where our Visual dies because of the costumes.

“I can’t get a sense of what kind of story this is anymore.”

“Me neither.”

Can we only wear the costumes we were originally supposed to wear On Stage?

While Min Ha-young and I were having a dazed conversation about the filming that had changed unpredictably from costumes to content.

“We’ll start filming!”

Finally, filming began.

The first shoot takes place in front of the building, in the lush green Field with morning dew.

“Please do your best to run happily and joyfully to the building! Everyone hahahaha!”

Jang Jak-so gave directions while laughing like some kind of laughter therapist, and we started running across the Field to match his sounds.

Scenes of running while making eye contact and holding hands like especially close Friends, lying down in the Field with our heads together, talking and laughing.

It wasn’t a particularly difficult shoot, so we could finish it easily and quickly.

And then indoor filming.

“Kyaaaah!”

“Aah! You scared me!”

“Unnie, you scared me even more!”

“Hey, really just go in once. If you go in alone, it’s no joke. Really!”

We had to face difficulties before even entering the entrance.

Min Ha-young started making a fuss and pushing Seo Ra-eun and Choi Song-i toward the building entrance.

“Why are you doing this, really!”

“Just go in once. Really just go in once and then we’ll all go in together.”

Since it’s such an old building, they’re making all this fuss saying it’s too scary to enter through the entrance.

“What’s so scary…”

Choi Song-i said indifferently and entered the entrance with Seo Ra-eun, then screamed and jumped out at the same time.

I let out a hollow laugh and headed inside.

“Why are they like that. All the Staff Members are inside, so what’s there to be scared of…”

Oh, it is a bit scary. It’s chilly and the building itself has no separate lighting.

With mold and peeling paint everywhere, and even spider webs, it feels even scarier in the dim dawn with rain.

I frowned and looked around, then took the Members’ hands and led them.

“It’s a bit gloomy, but not enough to scream about? Come in. We can go in together. We need to start filming quickly.”

“Why should we go in… Why go in…”

Why go in? Because we need to go in and film.

10 minutes left until filming starts.

Even if it looks gloomy like that, there will be all kinds of lights, equipment, and people inside for filming, so it probably won’t be that scary.

Saying that, I try to enter the building with the Members… but why do our Staff look like that?

‘What?’

Why does everyone have strangely tense expressions?

Did we take too much time at the entrance?

Then they should tell us to hurry in, but why are their expressions hardened as they just watch silently?

Suspiciously.

The Staff looked at the Members with somewhat precarious faces, then when they made eye contact with me, they hurriedly left their spots and started doing their respective work.

I tilted my head but went inside with the Members.

Unlike the outdoor filming that ended quickly, the indoor filming didn’t end until night.

During the bright day, scenes of running endlessly through dim corridors or happily chatting, playing, and eating with Members in rooms and kitchens decorated gorgeously with Gothic furniture and wallpaper.

In the dark evening, the atmosphere suddenly changed and we filmed scenes where all Members scattered separately and were being chased by someone with frightened expressions.

During night filming, I was separated from the Members and could only see them during break times, but the timid Min Ha-young and Seo Ra-eun grew paler as time went on.

Just being in this space itself seemed very distressing for them.

“Sob sob, I’m having such a hard time… I want to get off work quickly. This is the first time I’ve had such a hard time with a schedule since Start Plan.”

Near the end of filming. While watching Song-i who was in the middle of the last shoot, Min Ha-young complained in a quiet voice and hugged me tightly.

It must have been really scary and difficult.

“Good work.”

I patted Min Ha-young to show I understood her feelings.

Min Ha-young wants to leave this building full of negative energy right now, but since going out would only lead to an even darker and scarier Forest, she’s holding back with tears in her eyes.

“Still, once Song-i finishes everything, we can go home, so let’s just endure a little longer. …Huh?”

Again. The staff are looking at me with strange expressions again.

What is it. Why do they keep acting so suspicious since earlier.

Not only that, but they occasionally disappear somewhere or whisper among themselves.

As if they’re hiding something.

‘I’ll have to ask on the way back to the dormitory later.’

While I was thinking that, Song-i’s filming came to an end.

“Great work everyone!”

“Woohoo!”

“See you tomorrow for the choreography filming!”

The end of today’s long filming.

Everyone applauds and begins cleaning up the filming location as if they had been waiting for this moment.

“Alright, let’s go out now. Get in the car first.”

I was also about to take Ha-young and Song-i outside the building when.

“…What?”

“What is it?”

We stopped walking.

Day Entertainment’s staff had blocked the building entrance as if they had been waiting.
