The Chaebol’s Daughter Has Debuted

Chapter 236

“What’s this situation all of a sudden?”

“We still can’t leave yet?”

“Do we still have more stuff to do?”

At the sudden action of the staff blocking the entrance, all the members exchanged bewildered looks.

That’s not right? The scheduled music video filming is definitely finished.

What was even more suspicious was that the staff blocking the entrance were letting all the filming staff leave except for us.

“What is this?”

“Please let us go quickly. I’ve been waiting to get out of this building since earlier.”

While we stood there not knowing what was going on, Han Da-min and Seo Ra-eun, who had been filming elsewhere, also came in looking wide-eyed and confused.

“Why is everyone like this… The staff’s expressions look kind of strange.”

“The staff didn’t say a single word the whole way here.”

“Please, can’t you at least tell us something?”

“Where is Manager Ji-soo?”

Just when the fearful members’ terror reached its peak, cameras and lighting that had been hidden behind the entrance suddenly started pouring in.

“…Huh?”

The members and I instinctively stepped back.

I’ve been confused to death since earlier. What on earth is this situation?

Then, familiar faces came in with the cameras.

“…Director?”

It was the director and production staff who had handled the filming of our previous 5-episode self-content [What’s Ji-ye’s Problem? Let’s Just Make a Contract].

“What are you doing here?”

“Huh? Aren’t these the people? The ones who did content with you before… That, Ji-gye-hap!”

“Ah! That’s right! But why are the Ji-gye-hap production staff at a music video filming location…”

At that moment, Han Da-min, who caught on to the situation faster than me, tilted her head and grinned.

“This is new self-content, isn’t it?”

Then, looking at the production staff’s expressions and reactions, she shouted loudly.

“It is new self-content!”

“…Self-content?”

At the members’ question, the Ji-gye-hap production staff nodded with bright smiles.

What kind of self-content starts at this timing like this?

Day Entertainment has been creating all sorts of content as if they’ve staked everything on the 2nd album, but they were secretly preparing self-content too?

‘They kept this secret from me too.’

As I burst into laughter without realizing it, the Ji-gye-hap production staff said.

“From now on, you will start filming Flora’s second variety show [Welcome to the Garden] here at this location.”

“…Right now?”

“Here?”

“No way… No way, don’t do this…”

Min Ha-young, who sensed something, started denying reality with a disgusted expression.

Inside a gloomy building, and at night.

The fact that they’re pointing cameras at us saying they’ll film something at this time makes the content quite obvious, doesn’t it?

Horror-themed content.

‘What kind of self-content variety show starts with a horror theme from the first episode…’

When I shot that look at the PD, the PD said as if they’d been waiting for it.

“It’s quite a sudden start, but I should tell you the first theme of Welcome to the Garden, right?”

“This is really too sudden, you know?”

“Yes, the first theme is.”

The PD easily ignored Han Da-min’s protest and shouted.

“It’s also the title of your upcoming 2nd mini album title track, right? It’s 【GISS】.”

“【GISS】?”

Ah, so that’s what it meant.

If we’re filming self-content now, the upload date will probably be around when we’re in the middle of comeback activities or near the end.

In other words, all the content we do will come out timed to match the album’s concept.

Our self-content variety show would also start accordingly with the album’s concept, that is, ‘strangeness’.

“Oh…”

“Ack! I hate it! I really hate it! Why start like this…”

“Are we really starting like this?”

“Yes, we’re starting like this.”

The PD lightly answered the wary members’ words and continued with the proceedings.

“Then shall we start the first corner right away?”

“What?”

“Wow, really… This is too much. I’ve been singing that I want to leave since earlier.”

“Yes! The first corner is! Midnight hide-and-seek.”

“Ugh…!”

That was the sound of Min Ha-young barely holding back from swearing.

The game was literally, without needing explanation, hide-and-seek while moving around inside this building.

It could truly be called a game that recreates the very last scene of the 【GISS】 music video.

Having to hide around this gloomy building late at night, avoiding someone – wouldn’t this be a game that’s nothing but punishment for someone who’s easily scared?

“…Can’t I just say I got caught right now and get eliminated? Please let me get eliminated. Look, Min Ha-young in last place!”

Ha-young’s motivation was crushed before we even started.

Then the PD smiled slyly and shook their head.

“That won’t do. This is the self-content variety show that fans have been anticipating so much – are you going to give up so easily from the first episode?”

“Yes!”

“…No, you can’t.”

“Hiiing…”

…Our kid is losing her mind from fear.

Seeing her passionately not wanting to do it while even acting cute in a strange way she doesn’t usually do.

But the PD firmly refused the refusal and continued with the proceedings.

“You all know the rules of hide-and-seek, right? Tonight, a strange guest will visit this place and search for all of you.”

“A strange guest?”

“This is scary, really… Horror that came when I’m totally unprepared mentally.”

“Haha, that’s what horror is originally like. Anyway, you all need to hide while avoiding that strange guest.”

“Yes.”

“You need to find the hints hidden throughout the building that will let you escape from this place.”

“Oh, it’s an escape game? I like this kind of thing.”

Han Da-min said.

“This is totally advantageous for me, Ji-ye, and Song-i.”

“It’s not just advantageous, these three will just win.”

Min Ha-young asked with a face about to cry.

“But who is that strange guest? If it’s really a gh-, no, if it’s not human, I might faint.”

The PD shook their head and said.

“That’s a secret. You’ll naturally find out as you proceed with hide-and-seek. And Ha-young, you don’t need to worry too much because this hide-and-seek isn’t individual.”

“Waaaaah! Thank you!”

Min Ha-young screamed and even knelt down to express gratitude to the PD.

The PD smiled meaningfully and nodded.

“This time, we’ll divide into two people, two people, and one truly unlucky person, and proceed with hide-and-seek while moving together in these groups. You’ll play rock-paper-scissors and people who throw the same thing will be on the same team.”

“Wow, that one person will really have a hellish time. How can they go around here alone?”

“I can go around though.”

“Me too.”

Song-i and I voluntarily raised our hands and spoke up.

However, the PD firmly shook his head and ordered rock-paper-scissors, and as a result of rock-paper-scissors.

Da-min and Ra-eun, Ha-young and Song-i ended up on the same team. I ended up going around alone.

In a way, you could say it became the perfect team composition that the members wanted.

“Well then, everyone, please do your best to escape while avoiding the mysterious guest.”

The hide-and-seek began with the PD’s words.

“Ji-ye, if you get scared, come find us. Let’s go around together.”

“Okay.”

The members said that as they scattered in different directions, and I also headed in a direction the members didn’t go.

Although I ended up alone, with the cameraman and lighting crew, I didn’t really feel scared or alone.

Since I had even died before, this kind of thing didn’t particularly frighten me.

“But anyway, it would be nice if I could know what kind of way this mysterious guest chases after us. I can’t tell if I should just search comfortably and hide when it seems like they’re chasing, or if I should be hiding from the start.”

I talked to myself toward the camera while leisurely searching around various parts of the building.

“Ugh, what are we going to do about this broken concrete wall.”

Since this wasn’t a place made for shooting a music video but an actual abandoned building, the atmosphere itself was definitely different.

Just as I was carefully examining the cracks in the broken concrete looking for hints.

Thud thud-

The sound of a stranger could be heard from somewhere far away.

“…Already?”

The mysterious guest appears this quickly? And there’s nowhere to hide here?

No matter how much I looked around, there really was nowhere to hide.

Just as I was panicking, wondering if I would suffer the bitter defeat of elimination in the shortest time, listening carefully to the footsteps.

“Ms. Ryu Ji-ye, I was looking for you.”

“…PD?”

PD Ji-gye-hap approached where I was with a stern voice and said.

“Ms. Ryu Ji-ye, from now on you don’t need to hide and move around. Because you are the mysterious guest.”

…What?
