If such commotion could be heard among the Staff Members, the source of the noise was obvious.

“I heard Cael Arden came?”

At the Manager’s voice, I turned my head with an “I knew it” expression.

Cael Arden was approaching, greeting the Staff Members with a friendly face.

‘Why is he coming here…?’

The filming was already finished, so why would someone who should be busy filming come here?

When I looked at him with surprised eyes, Cael Arden spotted me and approached, waving his hand with welcoming eyes.

And the cameras visible beside Cael Arden.

‘Ah…’

He came because he was conscious of the cameras. I couldn’t help but chuckle.

No matter how busy and bothersome it was, he seemed to know that showing on camera that he hadn’t said a single greeting to the Cast Members appearing in his music video would be very rude.

‘Then he should have come when we were filming.’

Ugh… Thinking to myself, I also welcomed him with a very pleased expression.

“How was the filming? Sorry I came so late. Our filming isn’t finished yet either.”

“Just coming is enough to be grateful for.”

Right. Why are you showing up now when we’re about to go Home after finishing everything?

“The filming was fun. The Staff also took great care of us. There wasn’t any difficult filming either.”

“That’s a relief. I invited you but felt sorry for making you film alone.”

Cael Arden began escorting me to outside the Filming Studio while exchanging meaningless conversation in an unusually gentle voice.

“Is Kael’s filming already finished?”

“No, we’re not yet. Let’s have a meal together when the album is released.”

Anyone watching would think we became incredibly close throughout the work.

This guy who’s completely filled with pretense from beginning to end.

“Sure, sounds good.”

After responding to his words with empty words, I pointed to our behind-cam and spoke to Cael Arden.

“Please say hello to Flora’s Fans.”

“Oh, here?”

Cael Arden pointed to our behind-cam, then immediately turned around and stood facing the camera directly.

“Flora’s Fans, I’m called Cael Arden. They are truly amazing and professional people.”

He spoke to the camera like a scripted dialogue, listing praise about Us and respect for my Vocal, and finally.

“My friend Ji-ye, you can look forward to the wonderful performances she will show in the future.”

He even referred to me as his ‘friend’. I couldn’t refute his pretentious words and just nodded with a smiling face.

He’s saying nice things, so it would be awkward to make a serious face and draw lines…

Anyway, whether he really came just for show out of courtesy, Cael Arden really just briefly showed his face and left.

Once the cameras turned off, he didn’t even say “good work” and just left with only an eye greeting.

I don’t know how these scenes will appear in the edited video, but if not for this incident, I think again that he’s someone I really never want to be involved with again.

***

After filming ended, I returned to the Hotel again.

The work with Han Da-min was completed except for Cael Arden’s featuring part, so it had completely left our hands.

Now all that was left was recording our album songs and recording Cael Arden’s album track that Han Da-min made.

“Time really flies. It feels like yesterday that we came to the United States.”

“Honestly, I don’t even feel like I came to the United States.”

Hotel, Han Da-min and Seo Ra-eun’s Room.

Even though we each had our assigned rooms, we strangely often gathered and played in this Room.

Today was the same.

When we had nothing to do, we naturally gathered in the two’s Room and were lying down as if it were our own Bed, enjoying leisure.

Of course, the Members’ expressions weren’t bright at all.

“What is this. This is the United States.”

“Honestly, except for going to the Studio, I haven’t taken a single step out of the Hotel.”

“All I’ve eaten is room service.”

The Members all poured out complaints in unison.

It was understandable. From the first day, it was widely known among local Fans that we were staying at this Hotel in the United States, and it wasn’t easy for us to go out even once.

The scenes of me and Han Da-min going to the Studio were also uploaded to SNS within less than a minute, though I have no idea when they were taken.

Cael Arden was openly revealing scenes of him accompanying me to some extent, openly letting people know that we were doing something together, but that’s only once or twice – doing it too often would be unseemly.

More than that, I wanted to go out and have fun with our Members, not Cael Arden.

As the Members said, we came all the way to the United States, but does it make sense that our only memory is eating room service at the Hotel?

“Ji-ye is lucky. Ji-ye will continue staying here for a while even after we leave.”

Min Ha-young pouted her lips and grumbled.

The other Members would return to Korea immediately after finishing Cael Arden’s featuring recording to prepare for the album, but I would stay here for a while to work together with Cael Arden.

Even though it was called featuring, I was in charge of parts that were almost more than half, almost like a duet, so I was scheduled to do various promotional activities together.

I was to appear together on variety shows, interviews, Live Performance and Radio Station.

“I’m envious. I also want to stay in the United States longer, go around and enjoy American life.”

At Min Ha-young’s words, Han Da-min immediately hit her side.

“What’s there to be envious of? Because of that, Ji-ye has to practice Choreography and Vocal alone.”

I smiled bitterly and nodded.

“And either way, not being able to play and having to work is the same.”

If you saw the schedule that came in for me, you’d never say you’re envious.

Thinking about it made me sigh naturally.

I thought I’d be busy for a while since it was a collaboration with the rising star Cael Arden who’s been popular lately, but…

‘I never thought it would be to the level of operating a private jet…’

I hate to say this, but Flora being busy wasn’t really being busy. I could understand Cael Arden to the level that his always sleepy eyes might have been because he was actually sleepy rather than for arrogant reasons.

He really works without rest, and if there’s even a moment to catch his breath, it’s all filled with interviews.

A schedule that shows a plan to work quickly and gather attention in a short period.

Even if I stayed in the United States longer, I probably wouldn’t be able to go sightseeing or eat good food like the Members think.

‘Well, I could expand my network by meeting various people.’

It’s regrettable. If it were like that, it would have been nice if the other Members could have joined too.

They say greed breeds greed, and it’s regrettable that the Members don’t get this opportunity, but well.

Let me at least work hard and make good use of this opportunity.

“Right, Ji-ye should do her best here. We’ll also return to Korea and work hard preparing for our comeback.”

I nodded at Han Da-min’s leader-like words.

“I’ll work hard.”

“In that spirit, let’s really go out and eat today. How long do we have to eat only Hotel food? Though it is delicious!”

“Not just Hotel food, but I’m getting sick of the food we order for delivery from around here too. Let’s go eat something delicious somewhere with a nice view.”

“Unnies, did you hear? Our Company Staff went out yesterday and ate something delicious.”

“…Really?”

The Members spoke in unison and all looked at Han Da-min.

Naturally, the Leader Han Da-min had to take charge…

Han Da-min unconsciously made a troubled expression, then soon nodded and turned on her phone. Then she went out with a determined expression, and after a while, returned to the Room with a bright smile and said.

“They said they felt like they kept Us locked up and only made us work, so from today until we return to Korea, we can spend time freely.”

“Really? Is that okay?”

“Instead, it’s not completely free – we have to be accompanied by Security Guards and Staff.”

The Members cheered at Han Da-min’s words.

Second week since coming to the United States.

We could finally enjoy freedom.
