The Chaebol’s Daughter Debuted
Chapter 344
Honestly, I was so exhausted after the Concert ended that I wanted to go straight home and sleep.
Yet strangely, the moment I caught the scent of meat, both my fatigue and my fear of nightmares vanished without a trace.
“People really do need to eat, after all.”
“Absolutely right.”
Min Ha-young, sitting beside me, spoke loudly and poured alcohol into my glass.
Flora’s Concert after-party team dinner.
At first, everyone was just as exhausted as I was, and it seemed like we all wanted to skip the dinner and head home.
But now that some alcohol had been consumed, the atmosphere had transformed into pure revelry.
“Alright everyone, our Team Leader Kang will now give a toast! Everyone, pay attention!”
“Oh come on, don’t embarrass me like this~”
The Director who had orchestrated today’s Concert stood up to give the toast.
We Members had practiced hard and enjoyed ourselves on the Stage, but backstage was nothing short of chaos.
As people rushed about, you could hear sharp commands echoing from all directions, along with voices checking and verifying details.
All the Staff Members had dark circles under their eyes from exhaustion.
Since this Concert involved so many experimental elements, there was immense pressure to make it a success.
Because of that, the Staff Members must feel even more proud of this Concert’s success.
“Thank you all for your hard work. During the Performance, everyone was on edge and may have been sharp with each other, or felt hurt by someone’s words. Let’s resolve any lingering feelings with a drink and end this on a good note.”
“Yes, absolutely!”
“I’m so proud of all of you. And to our protagonists who made this Concert shine with such a wonderful Stage—Flora, thank you so much for your cooperation. I hope we can meet again on an even bigger Stage. Let’s fighting! Cheers!”
“Cheers!”
After the toast, everyone began chatting with those seated at their tables.
Flora was also buzzing with excitement as various stories were exchanged.
“So there, my eyes met with Ra-eun’s, and suddenly it was just so funny.”
“What was so funny about it? I seriously don’t get it. I just laughed because Ha-young was laughing.”
Seo Ra-eun tilted her head with a laugh, clearly not understanding.
It seemed something funny had happened during the Performance.
“Ever since that Performance, whenever I see you, I just can’t help but laugh.”
“That Performance? Oh.”
Pfft….
All the Members turned their heads at once, stifling their laughter. Not just the Members, but the Day Entertainment Employees nearby as well.
And even Seo Ra-eun herself, who was the subject of it all.
The “Honey Honey Baby” that Han Da-min and Seo Ra-eun had performed had become our laugh trigger ever since the Concert ended.
“Ha-young, if you have a video of that “Honey Honey” thing, send it to me too.”
Choi Song-i said this while sipping her soda.
She seemed to be teasing Han Da-min and Seo Ra-eun, and while Seo Ra-eun felt a bit embarrassed, Han Da-min grinned widely and went further.
“Hey, what if we all filmed it together and uploaded it to NeTube? Our Fans loved it so much.”
“…That? All of us together?”
“Why not! We’re just doing it among ourselves. Don’t you think the Fans would want to see it? I definitely want to see it.”
“I hate it.”
Choi Song-i said firmly.
“That’s something only the unnies can pull off. I can’t do something that ridiculous.”
“Ridiculous? It’s not ridiculous—it’s a cute concept!”
“Wasn’t it a comedy concept?”
“Look at her!”
Han Da-min giggled and wrapped her arms around Choi Song-i, shaking her playfully.
“This won’t do. I absolutely have to see our Song-i do the Honey Honey Baby.”
“No way. Absolutely not.”
It was a clash between an unstoppable force and an immovable object.
Admittedly, when all the Members did it, the Fans seemed to love it.
The real question was whether anyone besides Han Da-min and Seo Ra-eun could withstand that level of shamelessness.
I certainly couldn’t….
“Besides those two, only Ji-ye could pull that off without flinching, right?”
“What are you talking about?”
Could I actually do it?
Now that I thought about it, if they asked me to, I probably could.
The Fans loved it, after all.
I quickly agreed with Min Ha-young’s point and changed my mind.
“If the Fans love it, it’s not so bad. It’s actually fun.”
“Nope, honestly I can’t do it. I really can’t do that obvious cutesy act. I’m just not cute that way.”
Surprisingly, Min Ha-young voiced her opposition, saying she couldn’t do it.
“I’d think Ha-young would nail it the most, honestly?”
I agreed with Han Da-min’s comment, but then I remembered that Min Ha-young absolutely couldn’t do it when you explicitly asked her to be cute and charming.
Min Ha-young was cute when she was being teased, but her actual preference was for something far more cool and chic.
She always suggested Performance ideas in that direction, and she was the Member who shined brightest when performing those kinds of stages.
Still, during the Concert’s MC segment, she kept mimicking the unnies to tease them, so I thought if we asked her to do it, she’d agree right away. I never expected her to refuse so firmly.
It seemed that mimicking was enough for her purposes—just to tease them.
“I absolutely~ absolutely won’t do it~”
Min Ha-young made a large X with her arms as she spoke.
“What, are you guys fighting? Even the Staff Members aren’t fighting, so why are you all bickering?”
The Day Entertainment Employees chimed into our conversation, seeing us squabble over that Honey Honey Baby thing.
We were just playfully bickering among ourselves about whether to do it or not.
When I looked at them with a “no, we’re not” expression, it seemed their comment wasn’t actually out of concern—just teasing.
“What is it, what is it? Why are you all discussing something so seriously?”
“Are you guys giving each other Feedback again? Is that work addiction? You should just have fun during the Team Dinner.”
“Are you guys working through some tension between you? No, right? You all got along great during practice.”
“Oh, we’re not fighting.”
Han Da-min laughed and clung to the Employee, flattering him as she spoke.
“You know, I think if all of us Members filmed the Honey Honey Baby together and uploaded it to NeTube, the Fans would absolutely love it.”
“Oh, that sounds good?”
“I hate it.”
“I can’t do that~”
I thought that if the Staff Members sided with us, the opposing faction would be settled immediately. But Da-min gave Min Ha-young and Choi Song-i a sly look before distancing herself from the Staff Member.
“Tch.”
“No way, no way. That kind of thing only works if it’s the Unnies—absolutely nobody else can pull it off. Even if Ryu Ji-ye sets up the griddle perfectly, doing that wouldn’t be cute at all.”
“Hey, why are you dragging me into this? If I do it, I do it.”
“Just once~ Just once~”
“Then if I do it, will you Unnies cover the Stage Performance that Ji-ye and I did?”
“That’s….”
The Members started bickering again.
The Staff Members watched the situation with amusement before casually remarking.
“Since your opinions are so divided, that division itself is also Content.”
“…Excuse me?”
What are you suddenly saying?
The Members stopped bickering and looked at the Staff Member.
Looking closer, it was a Staff Member from the Content Planning Team.
The Staff Member spoke with a grin.
“Hey, should we set up the stage? Want to have a proper debate?”
“A debate?”
“With Jin’s side cooperating on the Cover. So, Team Da-min versus Team Ha-young—if Team Da-min wins, we all do the honey honey thing, and if Team Ha-young wins, we cover the Ji-ye and Ha-young unit song. How about it?”
They’re going to turn this into Content too?
“…That sounds good?”
“What kind of vibe? A serious debate? Or something a bit more like a Comedy Skit?”
“Too serious would be awkward, but it’d be fun if it’s entertaining.”
The Members exchanged glances with each other.
Have we ever made Content where we deliberately argue back and forth with words?
Honestly, I’m wondering why we’d make such a big deal out of something like this.
But since Da-min really wants to do it so badly, and Min Ha-young and Choi Song-i are strongly opposed, it does seem like it could be fun to play it out that way.
“I’m in. It seems more fun to share the whole story with the Fans rather than just suddenly uploading a Cover to NeTube after discussing it among ourselves.”
“It’ll definitely be entertaining. I’m not going to lose.”
“Yeah~ Our babies, I’m going to win~ Unnie is pretty good with words.”
The Members began agreeing with the Staff Member’s proposal one by one.
Finally, after we decided to hold a debate battle with the Cover at stake, we were able to escape the honey honey baby topic.
“Anyway, everyone worked hard. I’m glad we finished without any mistakes or injuries.”
And only then did we finally begin to have a proper heartfelt conversation about the Concert.
