The Chaebol’s Daughter Has Debuted

Chapter 250

“Spoilers about 【GISS】?”

“Spoilers are good, and updates on what you’ve been up to are good too.”

Honestly, preparing for this comeback has been leisurely and peaceful beyond measure, except for ‘that incident’, so there’s not much to update about.

Instead, what I can say is…

“I think this song really suits my taste.”

“Ah, right. Ji-ye listened to this song so much.”

“She listened to it so much that I wondered if she’d get sick of it, even though it’s our own song.”

“It feels a bit weird saying this before our comeback, but don’t you get tired of it? Really.”

The members burst into laughter at Min Ha-young’s sincere question.

“She was like that during 【Kaehwa】 too, but this time seems worse. Does it get more severe with each album?”

“Then for our third album, won’t she be listening to it even while sleeping?”

At Han Da-min’s words, Choi Song-i spoke with a face that said they didn’t know anything.

“That unnie already listens to it while sleeping.”

“…What are you talking about. Really? How does Song-i know that?”

“I woke up briefly at dawn to get some water, and I could hear music playing softly? Turns out it was coming from Ji-ye unnie’s earphones.”

“Ah, …haha, everyone in the chat is saying ‘You can hear that?'”

At Seo Ra-eun’s words, Min Ha-young got more excited and said.

“It’s super loud! It’s our not-so-secret secret, but Ji-ye listens to music really loudly.”

“Right, the music sound comes right through.”

“You’re really going to damage your eardrums. I’ve never seen earphones that can’t contain sound like the ones coming out these days.”

“It’s because they’re not good earphones.”

“Come on.”

No one believed what I said. Not the members, not the fans, not even our staff.

But it’s true.

Surprisingly, my earphones are cheaper, lower-grade earphones than what the members use.

I’m just using Ryu Ji-ye’s earphones that were lying around in the room.

Ryu Ji-ye was surprisingly uninterested in music, so despite being from a chaebol family, she didn’t invest in earphones or anything like that at all.

‘Usually people have at least Bluetooth headsets for showing off.’

I thought Ryu Ji-ye would definitely have them.

It seems she didn’t indulge in luxury for areas that weren’t her interests.

I feel the need for good earphones every time, but I’m insanely busy and have so much to worry about that I don’t have time to look around and choose earphone products.

Han Da-min’s wireless headset looks good, so I’m thinking of just buying that one.

Anyway, I’m grateful that the members made me a topic of conversation, but what I wanted to talk about was.

“This song… I think it might be a little different from the image you all have in mind.”

“Ooh, a little different, or very different?”

“It could be a little different or very different, hmm…”

I spoke vaguely and ambiguously, but the chat room went wild.

It seems the fans started thinking it might not be the dark and dreamy atmosphere they were expecting.

That’s right. It’s not a dark and dreamy atmosphere song at all.

The music video took care of all the darkness and dreaminess. Thanks to the music video, people who see it might be brainwashed into thinking it’s somehow a dark and gloomy song when they hear it, but the song itself is a fast-beat dance track.

I said it to build up some mental preparation and anticipation.

“Oh my. Dangerous, dangerous.”

Min Ha-young gave a cheeky reaction while meaningfully raising her eyebrows at the fans.

“I wonder what kind of song 【GISS】 will be, everyone~”

“I want to show it to you quickly. Right.”

Seo Ra-eun said with an excited expression.

After that, we also gave small updates about Han Da-min and Seo Ra-eun’s recent activities and wrapped up our talk.

Just like during 【Kaehwa】, we only did a short 30-minute live stream for the music video release, so time flew by quickly as we chatted about recent updates.

And with 3 minutes left until the music video release, Han Da-min started wrapping up the conversation.

“Garden everyone, there are less than 5 minutes left until the music video release. Really, it’s almost time – if you blink once, it’ll be released.”

“What should we do! I’m so nervous!”

“Now Garden everyone must be getting anxious waiting for the music video, and so we don’t interfere with your quick reactions, we should step back now.”

Han Da-min, who glanced at the time, said urgently.

“Then everyone, we hope you enjoy watching as much as we worked hard preparing it, and we’ll be going now! Until now!”

“This was Flora!”

“See you later!”

The live broadcast ended.

As soon as it ended, we turned on our phones without any conversation.

1 minute until the music video release. As we kept refreshing with anticipation, finally.

“It’s out! It’s out!”

Min Ha-young shouted loud enough to shake the practice room.

[FLORA ‘GISS’ Official MV]

Oh! It looks like Song-i is the main character in this music video thumbnail. She was captured looking back in terror in a dark corridor, like a scene from a movie.

“Did you see Song-i’s thumbnail? So pretty.”

I gave her a quick compliment, put on my earphones, and played the music video.

The music video started with a field under cloudy skies.

Muddy sneakers passed through grass blades soaked with moisture in the field.

The screen showed the place the shoes stepped on, the footprints, the crushed grass, and then the 【GISS】 letters naturally appeared over it before suddenly going out and changing to a black screen.

‘Oh, it looks like a movie even watching it again.’

Actually, we had already watched it once for filming our reaction video, but even watching it for the second time, I was still amazed by the direction.

I could feel the coolness and humidity even from the video.

The black screen transitioned.

Instead of the damp field, it showed a classroom scene at some school with sunlight streaming in, and the song started right away.

A sound like playing an old, faded record. This soon became clear and began changing into the same trendy sound as the original track.

The screen changed once more.

A book spread open on a desk. Not a textbook or ordinary book, but a thick leather-covered book you might see in a fantasy movie.

Naturally, it was an object that felt quite out of place with the classroom scenery.

Fans would easily notice, but this book was the same one that appeared in 【Kaehwa】, the same book Song-i was reading.

Then someone approached the open book.

The girl in school uniform stood quietly looking down at the book, then reached out and turned a page.

Then footsteps were heard from outside the classroom, and her hand flinched and pulled away from the book.

Then once again a black screen appeared with text.

[Ready or not, here I come!]

It really happened in an instant.

The screen transitioned again to a warm and bright classroom scene.

Several students open the back door and come inside.

Naturally, it was the Flora members including me.

The members approached the student reading the book cheerfully, as if having a pleasant conversation while laughing.

The person reading the book was Song-i.

Song-i showed a faint smile and welcomed the members approaching her, then stood up right away.

Then the members smiled brightly and stood around the desk with the book in the center.

The smiles disappeared from the members’ faces. They looked down at the book quietly with tense expressions, then began holding each other’s hands as if performing a ritual.

The bright and warm atmosphere changed mysteriously.

At that moment the song stopped abruptly and the screen went black again.

[Hide and seek!]

And the scene that appeared again was not the classroom, but that place from the beginning.

The damp field at dawn with its dark atmosphere, and students standing on it.

The students weren’t surprised by the suddenly changed scenery.

They looked at each other with relieved smiles, then naturally began moving their steps toward the dilapidated building standing in the middle of the field.
