The Chaebol’s Daughter Has Debuted

Chapter 242

Han Da-min stood in the doorway, quietly watching Choi Song-i.

“Why are you looking at me like that?”

Choi Song-i also found her gaze puzzling and stood facing her with a pouty expression.

Unlike Min Ha-young, who had been showing her feelings from her expression, practically announcing “I’m lying right now,” Choi Song-i’s inner thoughts were completely unreadable.

Han Da-min asked probingly.

“Aren’t you worried about Ha-young? She suddenly disappeared.”

Then Choi Song-i tilted her head as if asking what she was talking about.

“It’s not really a situation to worry about right now, is it? The stranger hasn’t even appeared yet.”

“…What?”

Choi Song-i looked completely without any sense of crisis.

Just from her face, it seemed like she had never seen the stranger, had no information, and had been focused solely on finding hints until now…

But since Min Ha-young had just realized she was another stranger and ran away, she couldn’t easily trust Choi Song-i either.

“Still, she suddenly disappeared. Since we’re on the same team, shouldn’t we go look for her?”

Then Choi Song-i began looking at Han Da-min with suspicious eyes instead.

“Unnie, it seems like you keep trying to get me to go look for Ha-young unnie?”

“What? No. I really don’t mean that.”

“You’re trying to take the hints in this room, aren’t you? Or, unnie, did you hide something here?”

Choi Song-i seemed to think Han Da-min had hidden important clues in this place and kept trying to get her to leave, so she began searching around more enthusiastically.

While grumbling as she spoke.

“Ha-young unnie is so timid. She’s someone who gets startled just by footsteps, so if something happened, she would have screamed.”

So since they hadn’t heard any sounds, there probably wasn’t any problem.

“…That does seem right.”

Anyway, Choi Song-i was acting the same as usual, and unlike Min Ha-young, she wasn’t particularly trying to approach or talk to Han Da-min.

She didn’t seem particularly interested in Han Da-min and was just focused on finding hints.

This much should be trustworthy, right?

Han Da-min hesitated but quietly settled into a chair a little distance away from Choi Song-i.

“Oh my, I need to rest for a moment. I’ve been tense this whole time.”

Still, meeting a member who was in the same situation of being chased was so reassuring.

Since Seo Ra-eun from the same team had been quickly caught, and Min Ha-young and Ryu Ji-ye were both strangers, cooperating with Choi Song-i like this didn’t seem bad.

Han Da-min quietly watched Choi Song-i and slowly opened her mouth.

“Song-i, we-“

Jingle-

“…”

“Ah, it made a sound.”

Choi Song-i clicked her tongue and straightened her bent posture.

“…What?”

Jingle-

“I could have hidden it well without making a sound. What a shame.”

“…”

Then she began approaching Han Da-min.

Jingle- Jingle-

She looked straight at Han Da-min as if no longer interested in hints and smiled.

“Were you also a stranger?”

“A stranger? No.”

“Then what’s that bell sound?”

“I don’t know. They just gave it to me.”

What, what kind of talk is that. How scary.

Han Da-min frowned deeply, sighed, and stood up.

This was too strange, way too strange.

Does it make sense for there to be this many strangers?

Han Da-min turned around and began walking quickly.

‘Are there some strange rules I don’t know about?’

It felt like something was going wrong…

Han Da-min froze in place.

At the entrance of the room, another silhouette stood stiffly upright in the dim shadows.

“…”

She was so surprised that not even a scream came out.

Han Da-min closed her trembling eyes for a moment, then opened them to look at the silhouette.

“Ra-eun.”

Unless she was seeing things from being too tense, that member in the shadows was definitely Seo Ra-eun.

“You were caught though…”

How was Seo Ra-eun, who had definitely become Ryu Ji-ye’s sacrifice early on, here?

Even if she didn’t know about the other members, she had clearly seen with her own eyes that Seo Ra-eun was caught by Ryu Ji-ye.

“What happened?”

And please stop standing so stiffly? With your hair all disheveled, you’re too scary.

Seo Ra-eun quietly looked at Han Da-min and took a step forward.

Only then could she see Seo Ra-eun’s expression.

She spoke with a very apologetic expression.

“Unnie, I’m sorry.”

Han Da-min slowly turned her head to look at the production staff.

“Is this possibly a show that Ryu Ji-ye planned from the beginning? It’s not, right?”

Otherwise, how should she even accept this situation?

At Han Da-min’s question, the production staff once again only smiled mysteriously.

“Or is this possibly a hidden camera? How is everyone except me a stranger?”

“I’m not a stranger.”

Choi Song-i said firmly.

“Then what is this?”

Seo Ra-eun in front, Choi Song-i behind.

She was surrounded.

Han Da-min couldn’t do anything and bit her lips.

At that moment.

“Unnie, were you here? I looked for you a lot.”

Ryu Ji-ye’s voice was heard.

The moment she turned her head toward where the sound came from, her heart nearly burst.

“Eek!”

Ryu Ji-ye was leaning her elbow on the window frame, supporting her face with her hand, grinning as she looked at Han Da-min.

Just as Han Da-min tried to back away in shock, swoosh- Ryu Ji-ye quickly pushed her upper body through the window and reached out to grab her arm.

“Caught you.”

“Ahhh!”

Without a doubt, there had never been a time when Han Da-min screamed so loudly in terror as she did today.

Ryu Ji-ye smiled with satisfaction and said.

“Unnie, you know what? Actually, the game is already over.”

“Wh-what?”

“I caught all the members except you. Only you were left.”

“…Huh?”

At her bewildered appearance, not only Ryu Ji-ye but everyone began laughing.

Not just the members, but even the production staff.

Ryu Ji-ye relaxed her frighteningly intense eyes and said.

“All the other members got caught by me, and only you were left, unnie. I thought it would be disappointing to just end it by saying the game was over, so I prepared this special horror package with the members. How was it?”

“How was it? Wow….”

Han Da-min slumped down.

I was fooled. She sat there for a while, looking resentfully at the members and production staff before speaking.

“Honestly, I’m kind of grateful.”

Then she smiled awkwardly.

True to being someone obsessed with work, it seemed she was happy that good footage was captured, whether the members had tricked her or made her a laughingstock.

Han Da-min sighed and got up.

“Anyway, so is it over now?”

The production staff nodded.

“Yes, it’s finished. Now please move outside the building together.”

The members began moving outside the building, following the production staff.

“Ryu Ji-ye is really good at this kind of thing. I was honestly quite impressed.”

“But is it real that no one managed to escape?”

“Don’t make Ryu Ji-ye the spy next time! The balance doesn’t work!”

“Right. I want to do it next time!”

“Ha-young would be even worse. You’d get caught right at the start, wouldn’t you? Your eyes were going crazy when you were talking to me earlier.”

“But mobilizing all the members for the final chase was really too much. I thought my heart was going to drop.”

Only after the game ended did the members relax and chat comfortably as they came out of the building.

Outside was so bright with lighting flooding in, unlike inside the building, and along with it, the members’ smiles returned.

“Everyone, please stand here.”

The members lined up in front of the cameras following the PD’s guidance.

“Now, we should officially announce today’s winner.”

“Clap clap clap, applause in advance.”

Min Ha-young clapped weakly with a tired voice and expression.

“The winner of the first theme of <Welcome to the Garden>, <GISS>! You really showed great performance today, didn’t you? It’s Ryu Ji-ye!”

“Wow! Thank you!”

“Woaah….”

The members cheered halfheartedly.

Nevertheless, Ryu Ji-ye nodded with a very satisfied expression and asked.

“But what do you get for winning?”

“That’s right. There should naturally be a prize for winning. For the winner Ji-ye, there’s a department store gift certificate worth 500,000 won and….”

“Oh! A gift certificate!”

Not really that appealing…. But originally these kinds of games are about the feeling of winning, and prizes are just a bonus.

Ryu Ji-ye nodded satisfactorily and took the gift certificate the PD offered.

“And you’re given the privilege of deciding the theme and content of the next game together with the production staff!”

“…Oh! That’s nice!”

“Ji-ye doesn’t really like it. Haha.”

Han Da-min said with a giggle.

Of course I wouldn’t like it.

It’s like having one more task added when I’m busy with comeback preparations and activities.

“Good. Good….”

Amid the members’ teasing, Ryu Ji-ye tried hard to nod saying it was good and signaled to Han Da-min to wrap up the filming.

Han Da-min nodded and said.

“Well then everyone, <Welcome to the Garden> – we’re also a bit flustered since we started so suddenly, but we hope you’ll enjoy it. We’ll come back to see you again at this time next week. Then goodbye!”

“Byeee!”

Although everyone was exhausted from screaming and running around, at least the final greeting was energetic.

And so the filming was wrapped up.
