The Chaebol’s Daughter Has Debuted

Chapter 249

“Everyone, how have you all been?”

“Did you miss us a lot? We really missed you so much.”

“Has everyone eaten?”

The awkwardness between the fans and us, both feeling shy about the suddenly created fan name, was only momentary.

Thanks to the fans’ rapidly rising chats and their enthusiastic responses and laughter, our tension quickly melted away and we soon became lively.

“Have the members eaten? The Garden… members are asking if you’ve eaten.”

“Ha-young, stop being so awkward! If you’re awkward, it makes us more conscious of it!”

“Aihik! It doesn’t roll off my tongue, this is a disaster. Everyone, I’m sorry.”

“We should train by saying ‘Garden members~’ a hundred times a day.”

[Hahahahahahahahaha]

[Don’t be embarrassed! hahahahahaha]

[Are we the ones who should be embarrassed? lol ㅠ]

[Let’s both be confident]

[Hahahahaha we’re awkward too hahaha]

[It’s the fate of a group that came up with their fandom name too late, just accept it… haha]

“Hahak! The Gardens are asking if we’re embarrassing.”

“No! No no, it’s not embarrassing! Wait a moment.”

Min Ha-young quickly checked the chat situation.

[Nooooo Hayoung nooo]

[Don’t be embarrassed, us ㅠㅠ]

[LOL Hayoung is crying]

[It’s okay, as long as we’re not embarrassed about it…ㅠ]

Such supportive fans. Min Ha-young is really fun to tease.

Min Ha-young became even more flustered after seeing the chat and jumped up.

“No! No no. It’s not awkward. Not awkward at all. Geez, why is everyone like this! There you go again, again!”

The members giggled and laughed, and Min Ha-young’s explanation could only end with Han Da-min’s help after calling out the name ‘Garden’ about ten times.

“Anyway. Everyone, this day has finally come.”

“You’ve waited a long time, haven’t you?”

“We made you wait too long. Sorry about that.”

Despite being rookies, our comeback schedule was delayed due to various issues.

Everyone knew how frustrated the fans must have been with the indefinite wait while worrying about us.

We spoke with heartfelt apologies, but our apologies were vaguely brushed aside.

It seemed that the joy of comeback day made such minor apologies inaudible.

“We really wanted to show you our new album quickly too, but we’re only revealing it now.”

“Everyone, did you see the teasers? How were the teasers?”

At Seo Ra-eun’s question, the chat began rising like crazy.

The music video teasers that had been released several times to match the comeback timing.

Unlike the original song that flows with a fast beat, the scattered song fragments in the teasers were edited to be dreamy and eerie.

Since the music video happened to have that concept too, fans were completely fooled into thinking this comeback’s concept was dreamy and eerie, that the concept had gone completely in that direction.

However, the last teaser showed a section that revealed a bit of the trendy song’s atmosphere, so there were many fan reactions saying they couldn’t figure out what kind of song it was at all.

The members all found it very amusing to see fans trying their best to analyze the teasers and figure out the song.

Even now in the chat, questions about this title track, individual interpretations, and requests for hints were surging up, making me laugh.

“Geez, you keep asking us to spoil things.”

Han Da-min said with a sly face and smiled meaningfully.

“Should we talk about that kind of thing first? How was it preparing for the comeback? Let’s talk about various things, both as updates and spoilers.”

“Then should Song-i start first?”

Seo Ra-eun pointed to Song-i who was on the far right.

“…Me? You always make me go first for things like this.”

Song-i grumbled but when Seo Ra-eun smiled sheepishly, she pouted her lips and began thinking about what to say.

“It’s Ra-eun’s scheme to check if Song-i is properly focused.”

“No, that’s not it…”

“But Song-i seems like she’s not focusing but she actually is.”

“What does that mean?”

“Even during meetings, she sits there expressionless and blank, so we wonder if she’s even listening, but she’s hearing everything.”

“We always ask ‘What do you think, Song-i?’ to check if she’s listening, but she answers right away so we’re always surprised.”

“Of course I’m listening to everything. I’m listening and thinking, but everyone asks if I’m listening, so it’s unfair.”

“Haha, it’s not easy to tell. But if you look closely, even a blank face is subtly different between really being blank and thinking about something.”

“How is it different?”

“When she’s really blank-“

Our members have really improved a lot in their broadcasting skills.

Instead of just waiting quietly for Song-i to think of what to say, they naturally fill the sound and buy time.

While I was thinking fondly and continuing the conversation with the members, Song-i seemed to have organized her thoughts and spoke naturally.

“Right. I’m not just being blank, I’m thinking about everything. Anyway, I learned a lot and grew while preparing for this comeback.”

“Ooh, what did you realize and what kind of growth did you have?”

When Han Da-min asked as if talking to a kindergartener, Song-i said with a subtly proud face.

“How to vocalize more comfortably? This song has a completely different atmosphere from our previous songs.”

“That’s right, that’s right.”

“The vocalization, voice, and vocal style I’ve been using don’t really match the current song… It felt like I couldn’t sing properly to a frustrating degree, so I worried a lot.”

“Right. Song-i had a really hard time this time.”

Song-i showed particularly active passion for this album.

Various things overlapped – the burden of feeling she had caused great damage to the team, feeling a strong sense of belonging to Flora once again, gratitude toward the fans, company, and members who believed and waited for her, and so on.

She approached practice, recording, and requests for feedback on her attitude and skills very actively.

However, perhaps because she pushed herself beyond her physical limits, outside of working hours she mostly spent time sleeping and occasionally spacing out more frequently.

Anyway, as she earnestly pondered work and her own skills, Song-i’s abilities naturally improved dramatically…

The vocal technique she had to produce for this 【GISS】 unexpectedly suited Song-i very well, so she was very proud that she found a vocalization method that was stable and didn’t hurt her throat.

“That’s right. Song-i really worked hard this time and received a lot of praise.”

Han Da-min said while patting Song-i’s head.

“Everyone, please look forward to Song-i’s changed vocal technique in this album.”

“Really, when you listen to 【GISS】, you’ll be shocked? Like, huh! Is this Song-i’s voice? You might react like that.”

“Then how was it for Ha-young? While preparing this time.”

“For me, rather than changing as dramatically as Song-i, should I say this? I feel like my voice in choreography got bigger?”

“Your voice got bigger?”

“Yes, actually everyone, …ahem, Ga, Garden everyone. I also participated in the 【GISS】 choreography.”

Min Ha-young said both proudly and sheepishly.

Min Ha-young’s choreography participation had been consistent since Start Plan, but for this album Ha-young led the creation equally with multiple choreographers overall.

“That’s right. It’s choreographer Min Ha-young.”

“Haha, I learned a lot from many veteran dancers while doing it, and that process was good, and I was able to create ambitiously as I wanted.”

“You’ll see it and think, ah, this choreography was definitely made by Ha-young. Because it’s incredibly difficult…”

“We had quite a hard time learning it.”

At the sight of members groaning just from thinking about it, Min Ha-young giggled and said confidently.

“Now all the members’ skills have improved tremendously. I thought they could definitely do it and they actually did well.”

When Min Ha-young finished speaking, the members’ gazes naturally turned to me, who was next to Min Ha-young.

“Then next. Our princess, how was it for Ji-ye while preparing?”

At Han Da-min’s question, I shifted my gaze to the mobile phone camera filming us and opened my mouth.
