It was literally a mud fight.

Plastic children’s shovels were flying everywhere and the cast members were rolling around in the field, engaging in physical combat.

They didn’t care at all about their clothes or getting dirt in their mouths, fighting as if they were enjoying it.

‘Ah, so this is what variety shows are about.’

It was so intense that honestly, I was a bit scared to jump in there and fight alongside them.

All I could do was maybe catch flying shovels and dig the ground as much as I could.

‘I think I’d get hurt if I joined in there.’

Even physical fighting in front of cameras is like wrestling. If you’re not in sync, you can really get injured.

No matter how greedy I am for screen time, getting hurt is a bit…

When I glanced at Song-i, she was looking around at the cast members clustered here and there, then just gave up and sat down, pretending to half-heartedly pull at Lee Tae-hyeon.

I really should just catch flying shovels.

Thinking that, I watched the shovel in Joo Na-hyeon’s hands.

Lee Tae-hyeon was frantically attacking Joo Na-hyeon’s hands, trying to get the shovel out.

I quietly approached her, grabbed the head of the shovel, and pulled vertically.

‘Wow, grip strength.’

Two people are clinging to it, one is concentrating attacks on the hands and one is pulling the shovel, yet she’s not letting it go?

I was newly amazed by Joo Na-hyeon’s incredible strength and tried to pull out the shovel by putting my full weight into it.

Then Joo Na-hyeon gritted her teeth and muttered.

“Ah shit, sweat.”

No matter how strong her grip, after using her body all day, there was nothing she could do about sweat building up in her hands.

With Joo Na-hyeon’s small curse, the shovel slowly began to come loose.

Good. As soon as the shovel comes out, I’ll run over and start digging right away.

The place where the money bundle was buried had already been dug up by the cast members wrestling around, so just a little more digging would reveal something.

Shortly after, the shovel came out of Joo Na-hyeon’s hands.

“No way!”

Got it. With Joo Na-hyeon’s frustrated cry behind me, I properly gripped the shovel and started running toward the money bundle’s location.

And at that moment, I was tackled with terrifying force.

“Uwah!”

It really happened in the blink of an eye.

Someone pulled my ankle to trip me, then dragged me backward and put their weight on top of me.

“Hehe, Boss. Did you think you could win that easily?”

Joo Na-hyeon was pressing down on my body with a playful tone.

She lightly reached out to steal the shovel from my hands.

When I reflexively tightened my grip and hugged the shovel to my chest, the cast members’ hands immediately started clinging to my hands as if they’d been waiting.

“Bring the shovel!”

“Ji-ye has the shovel!”

“Take it! Take it!”

Why is this happening like this?

I had somehow very naturally become the center of the mud fight and was pinned to the ground.

“Ji-ye, don’t let them take the shovel!”

“Give me the shovel. To me.”

“Ji-ye, let’s pass the shovel to Tae-hyeon!”

My teammates tried to somehow pry off the opposing team members clinging to me, and I had to look for a chance to pass the shovel to Lee Tae-hyeon.

No, why. I didn’t plan to roll around this much.

Naturally, the suit I had dressed up in became covered in dirt and my hair got disheveled.

I could almost hear our stylists screaming from somewhere.

But what can I do. I’ve already been dragged in. I’ve become the center of the fight.

I gritted my teeth and defended the shovel.

“Wow, Ji-ye, you’re holding out better than expected?”

“She’s surprisingly strong.”

My clothes are already dirty, my hair already disheveled, so let’s just work hard.

While pinned under Joo Na-hyeon, I somehow squirmed in the dirt and tried to flip my body over.

I could hear what seemed like another shocked cry from a stylist somewhere, but I ignored it and put all my strength into my arms and legs, trying to get up.

Of course I failed, but if I tried a few more times, it seemed quite doable.

Since I’m a guest and an idol, the opposing team seemed to be holding back their strength to avoid hurting me.

That’s when it happened.

“Kyaaaah!”

With someone’s scream from somewhere, the weights I felt on my body suddenly began to lighten.

“Huh?”

When I turned my head in surprise, Kim Gwang-cheon was lifting both Joo Na-hyeon and Kang Hyeok simultaneously, his face red from exertion.

“Ji-ye, go quickly!”

Lee Tae-hyeon urgently helped Kim Gwang-cheon block Joo Na-hyeon and Kang Hyeok, and Daniele quickly helped me up, grabbed my arm, and dragged me to the money bundle location.

“Ji-ye, here! Quickly!”

Then he sat down and started digging dirt with his hands. I hurriedly scooped dirt with the shovel.

With Kim Gwang-cheon and Lee Tae-hyeon buying time, this was the chance to dig as much as possible and find the money bundle.

“Song-i! Song-i, run!”

Song-i ran over and tried to pull me and Daniele away from the money bundle location, but our baby’s strength was just ticklish.

“Ah, unnie. At least pretend to be pushed back.”

Ignoring Song-i’s annoyed voice, I continued digging the ground until finally, with a thunk sound, the shovel hit a wooden box buried in the dirt.

“This is it! Found it!”

Daniele shouted loudly and lifted up the box.

“Kyaaaah! We won!”

My teammates cheered and I sat down, breathing heavily.

What is this.

I felt a bit of reality check as I looked down at my clothes.

Dirt was caked on without a single gap.

Don’t even mention inside my shoes. My hair was disheveled and… probably dirt would fall out if I shook it.

Some accessories had disappeared, dropped somewhere.

‘I didn’t plan to slack off, but.’

I also didn’t plan to work this hard.

While Daniele was holding the box and sharing joy with our team cast members in the distance, Song-i looked me up and down and shook her head.

“Unnie, you’re definitely going to get scolded by the stylist unnie later.”

“I know…”

But well… I worked hard, so it’s fine. At least the cast members here and the viewers watching the broadcast will see it positively.

Our fans too.

Song-i clicked her tongue and grabbed my hand to help me up, and at that moment the production staff shouted.

“Ryu Ji-ye’s organization team wins! The money bundle belongs to Ryu Ji-ye’s organization team!”

“Woohoo!”

Everyone laughed while covered in dirt.

Even though it must have been tough, the performers’ faces showed joy incomparable to the previous school concept filming.

Viewers find it more entertaining the harder the performers work.

Since not only themselves but even the guest had gone through this chaos and gotten messed up, their faces showed they felt very rewarded, certain this episode would be a success.

“Ah, that was fun after a long time. Right, hyung?”

“Yeah! This is what we should do! Rolling around and running!”

The production staff also nodded with satisfied faces, saying good work, then gathered the cast members.

“Everyone really worked hard. Since Ryu Ji-ye’s organization team achieved final victory, we should check the reward money bundle first, right? Please open the wooden box.”

At the production staff’s words, Daniele, who was holding the box, approached the cameras and opened it. Inside the box were gold bars like the ones in Kim Gwang-cheon’s bag earlier.

“Wow, crazy!”

“Is this real gold?”

Of course it’s fake gold. In reality, the winning performers will probably just receive prize money satisfactory enough.

But what does it matter? It’s not like I filmed this aiming for the prize money anyway.

It was fun.

After that, we had time to share our thoughts on appearing, and filming ended with Kim Gwang-cheon’s closing remarks.

Driving for long hours, playing games, climbing mountains, physical fights, rolling on dirt floors.

Though we had every reason to be exhausted, the venue after filming ended was more harmonious than ever.

“Flora really worked hard today. Ji-ye did really well too.”

The performers naturally gathered around Song-i and me.

Kim Gwang-cheon looked at me with a proud expression and said.

“Come on variety shows often.”

“Wow, Ji-ye. It’s rare for hyung-nim to say something like this. You must have really done well this time.”

“It’s all thanks to everyone’s help. Thank you.”

“We’re the ones who are grateful. Thanks for working so hard!”

Joo Na-hyeon said, pointing to my dirty clothes. I basked in their praise as I left the filming location.

I heard later through my manager that while I stood out more because I was constantly with the cast members, Song-i also did quite well as befitting her experience.

They were worried because she didn’t show much enthusiasm throughout the games, but while she was alone guarding the garlic field, she never left a moment of silence and naturally went around various parts of the village creating fun scenes with the villagers.

My manager told me excitedly that the production staff were full of praise, saying that kids who’ve been on broadcasts since childhood really have different skills.

With that, we perfectly wrapped up today’s filming and headed to the dormitory.
