Just listening to what he’s saying, it sounds like the romance of the century, a fateful encounter.

At least my memory of the first meeting with Cael Arden was nothing like that.

‘Didn’t he treat us like we were invisible?’

If Lyla Bale hadn’t openly said she liked us, his impression was so bad that he probably wouldn’t have even looked at us.

How else could I have been so certain that the big opportunity the system mentioned could never be Cael Arden?

“At least it was a different feeling from the K-pop idols I had imagined. I was caught up in prejudice. I thought K-pop was just dancers and singing was just a side dish.”

He seems to be speaking honestly, but in reality Cael Arden is still a bundle of prejudices.

I guarantee he still thinks K-pop idols other than Flora are just dancers.

No, actually he might still think that way about Flora too?

“But meeting Flora made your prejudice disappear?”

At the host’s question, Cael Arden shrugged his shoulders.

“We, meaning Lyla Bale who went to promote the movie together, did special content in Korea. It was content where we sang together with Korean singers.”

“Ah, the Korean singer who did that content together was exactly!”

The host pointed at me and Cael Arden immediately nodded.

“That’s right. All of Flora including Ji-ye. Even before starting the content, Lyla was going crazy. Oh my! We can actually see them! Like that.”

Cael Arden chuckled while imitating Lyla Bale making a fuss.

“I had absolutely no interest until then. So what? They’re K-pop idols. The most popular in Korea? But I don’t really know them. Something like that? I was so busy with schedules and tired because of it, so it was a misunderstanding that happened because we couldn’t rehearse.”

“But when you actually met and sang together, it was much better than expected. Enough to fall for them. Is that what you’re saying?”

At the host’s question, Cael Arden smiled faintly and readily admitted it.

“Enough to think on the spot that I wanted to release an album together.”

“Then I’d like to ask Ji-ye this time. Well, I already knew about you since my damn daughter loves your team so much, but how was it when you first met Cael Arden?”

When the host threw the question at me, I momentarily felt Cael Arden next to me getting strangely tense.

I guess he can’t help but feel guilty since he has things to be ashamed of, right?

I smiled mischievously and said.

“At first, I could really feel that he literally didn’t know us at all. Like Cael Arden said directly, he didn’t seem very interested? So I thought that would be both our first and last meeting.”

“The first impression wasn’t very good!”

The host said with a face full of dopamine. I replied with a smile instead of words and continued.

“Actually, since it was content without rehearsal, we didn’t have much time to talk. At least I did chat a bit with Lyla Bale, but even that got cut short because we didn’t have much time. So at that time, Cael Arden and I just sang together and that was it. I never dreamed we’d meet again.”

…I’m speaking well right now, right?

The atmosphere was so free that nothing was off-limits, and with the different language, I continued talking without knowing whether I was speaking well or rambling.

“But one day I got a call. Cael Arden wants to collaborate with you! Honestly, I doubted my ears. I think I asked ‘What? Cael Arden? Not Lyla Bale?'”

“Hahaha!”

The host let out a hearty laugh, empathizing with my words.

“Lyla was very friendly to you from the first meeting. She’s also a well-known K-pop fan.”

“When I heard that the song we’d work on together was the title track of Cael Arden’s album, I completely.”

I made a gesture of being flipped over and smiled. It was literally like that.

Our company was turned upside down that day. I don’t remember if it was a festival atmosphere or a fire-under-our-feet atmosphere, but it was definitely crazy chaos.

“How did you feel then? When you heard Cael Arden wanted to work on a title track together.”

“The first thought I had was ‘Why?’ and the second was ‘Why me?’ Because it definitely wasn’t me but other members who sang with Cael Arden at that time.”

“Let’s ask Cael Arden directly. Why did you want to work with Ji-ye?”

“It was timing. I was focused on preparing a new album then. I was looking for a good female vocalist, but it wasn’t easy to find a suitable vocal.”

“Listening to this album, I understand what you mean.”

The host said.

“Certainly, while there are many singers who sing beautifully and skillfully, there aren’t many singers with such a fresh yet solid vocal and image.”

“I was thinking it would be nice to have a singer with a fresh, solid, yet somewhat shy and innocent vocal. Of course, I’m absolutely not saying Ji-ye’s skills are innocent.”

“Haha, of course I know. Her skills are perfect.”

Oh…

I don’t know if they’re trying to appeal that the vocals in the album are perfect, but even though I’m not saying anything, Cael Arden and the host are promoting me on their own.

This time too, I just stayed quiet with a humble smile that I’m not quite at that level.

“But I heard it’s not just Ji-ye who participated in the album? I heard all of Flora participated?”

Cael Arden and the host looked at me simultaneously.

I nodded and said.

“When I heard Cael Arden’s title track, I thought we had a song that would fit really well with this concept. It happened that Da-min, a Flora member, was personally working on music production.”

I was really glad to have the chance to say this.

Until now, throughout the interview I kept getting questions only about the title track, so I hadn’t had a chance to convey that Han Da-min’s B-side track was performing quite well on the charts and getting good reactions from listeners.

While I was answering, Han Da-min’s B-side track 【Smitten】 from Cael Arden’s album played as background music with good timing.

A song expressing young love that’s so fresh and passionate, with intense emotions that seem like they’d cool down quickly.

Especially a song getting good reviews for lyrics expressing first love as flames like poetry set to melody, and weaving overwhelming feelings into band sounds.

It’s even said to be a song that penetrates the album identity of Cael Arden’s album unified under the ‘high teen’ concept.

It’s a shame that since it’s not the title track, there are fewer opportunities to perform it or mention it.

“When I heard this album’s concept and title track, her song suddenly came to mind. So I immediately suggested it and it was accepted for the album.”

“What surprised me most was that all Flora members’ voices went into this song.”

‘That deal was really, really difficult…’

Just thinking about it makes me laugh emptily because the discussion phase was so long and headache-inducing.

If this song hadn’t pleased Cael Arden even 1%, my suggestion would have been immediately rejected.

As you can see from the current reviews of Han Da-min’s song, the song had to be pretty good.

Using the song as bait, all of Flora could participate as vocalists, and honestly speaking, I’m confident this song received better reviews because we participated.

…Which Cael Arden said,

“It was purely our greed. Mine and Flora’s, their vocals were so charming and we thought their voices were absolutely necessary to bring this song to life. Flora had the same opinion too.”

He dismissed with extremely self-centered words.

…Anyway, the interview was progressing quite smoothly and our first live performance time was approaching soon.
