The Chaebol’s Daughter Debuted
Episode 98
***
They’re really excited.
I put down my Mobile Phone with a bitter taste in my mouth.
They’re really tearing us apart viciously.
The Stage was perfect and showing our faces well with Horizon was also properly successful.
When the Lighting, stage atmosphere, and Concept combined, all Members came out looking so pretty.
Of course, compared to other groups, there were clearly fewer instances of faces being shaky and not filming well.
The Live Performance was needless to say, stable.
‘Though the harmony between Members and skill gaps still looked uneven.’
It was okay since it gradually improved on subsequent stages.
Thanks to that, after airing, we definitely received favorable reviews from general Viewers called muggles and succeeded in appealing to K-pop fans.
Mentions of Flora on various Community Sites, SNS, etc. increased explosively to a surprising degree.
Fan influx definitely increased a lot, tremendously.
‘Instead, we got cursed at just as much.’
“Haaa…”
I flopped down on the Bed and let out another long sigh.
They really cursed us like crazy.
The curses I heard right after episode 3 aired were far more than all the curses I heard during 7 years of Choux Cream activities.
Who knew one edited interview would gather this much attention.
It seemed to be mentioned two or three times more than the Stage videos.
“Haha.”
I wasn’t hurt.
I expected that if our ranking became threatening to May Rookie, Unet would somehow pull strings.
Han Da-min and Min Ha-young were already prepared to get cursed at.
As for mockery, I already received enough during Choux Cream that my emotions were worn down, so getting more curses just made me sneer.
Just one thing, I was worried that the fans who flowed in might get hurt, but surprisingly, rather than being discouraged, they strengthened their resolve.
‘That’s enough.’
Not getting hurt and continuing to like us. Really, that was enough.
“…”
I lay on the Bed for a while looking at the ceiling. And soon.
“Hehe…”
Without realizing it, my lips curved into an arc and then a silly laugh flowed out.
I wasn’t going crazy.
I was just laughing because I was happy.
The situation was going as expected, and much faster than I thought.
‘Evil editing? Go ahead and do more, more!’
The more cornered we get, the more dramatic the effect!
‘Getting cursed at briefly because of evil editing is something I can endure plenty.’
Then ding! My Mobile Phone that I had carelessly put down rang.
It was a message from Hong Jin Owner sent by the management team.
-Miss, news that Choi Gyo-young has succeeded in obtaining the transcript. Should we get the transcript in advance?
“Oh, already.”
It seems he already accomplished one of the tasks I dumped on Choi Gyo-young recently using his sarcasm toward me as an excuse.
Even if he sold his conscience, his abilities are good.
-Yes, please.
I sent a reply to the management team and smiled contentedly.
The 4th round Training Camp approaching in a few days.
Episode 4 would air during the Training Camp.
Preparations for the upcoming ‘controversy’ were almost complete.
***
The colorful Elementary School-like Building.
I stood in front of the familiar building, pulling my Suitcase.
‘Why does it feel like it’s been so long since I came here.’
When I thought about it for a moment with an unusually sentimental feeling, it really had been a long time.
Since the broadcast started, the filming schedule had some breathing room, and the 3rd round Training Camp was conducted at a pretty External Dormitory.
‘I did miss it a little.’
This building that had all the facilities for Practice.
The 3rd round dormitory was pretty, but you had to go outside to get to the dormitory, so we couldn’t Practice freely.
After looking up at the familiar, somewhat tiresome building, I soon spotted the Cameras at the entrance and moved my steps.
“Hello.”
-Ji-ye trainee, good morning.
After passing the Production Staff who now returned greetings and entering the building, I heard familiar voices in the Lobby.
“No, so I told Song-i let’s go together, you know? But she flatly refused.”
“You said you saw her at Ji-ye’s Home. Isn’t that enough.”
“Wow! No loyalty, no loyalty!”
“What, Ha-young saw Ji-ye? Invite me too. I was at Home that day too. So mean~”
“Ah, no. That’s not it!”
Min Ha-young is getting teased as usual today too.
I let out a light laugh and approached the Members.
Then I deliberately brought my face close to Min Ha-young’s ear and said.
“What are you all doing here.”
“Uwah! You scared me!”
As expected, Min Ha-young jumped amusingly.
“Hey! Make some noise when you approach! Geez, you scared me!”
I giggled and shrugged my shoulders.
“I came quietly on purpose to scare you? As expected, it’s fun.”
“Wow, look at Ryu Ji-ye’s expression! Wow, so annoying!”
Min Ha-young shouted while shaking me. The members giggled watching her.
‘The atmosphere is better than I thought?’
After episode 3 aired, we got so much hate that I was worried everyone would be depressed today.
Surprisingly, they’re all calm. Joking around and laughing like usual.
Instead, the looks from other team trainees passing by seemed unusual – they seemed worried about us or concerned.
‘I wonder if I should consider this fortunate.’
Our team has members who are all resistant to hate from the eldest to the youngest, so everyone has good mental strength.
Anyway, I was relieved that no one’s energy had dropped.
“Well then, girls, now that Ji-ye is here too, shall we go to the meeting?”
Han Da-min led us to the conference room prepared for Flora on the first floor.
***
“Girls, why does it feel like it’s been so long since we’ve seen each other?”
Yu-hwa, who arrived at the conference room a bit later than us, put down the snacks she brought with both hands full on the table as usual.
“You didn’t eat before coming again, right? Let’s eat while we talk. You need to eat something if you’re going to practice hard.”
“Thank you!”
Han Da-min said energetically while unwrapping the snack bundle. It was banh mi sandwiches and drinks that were easy to eat.
Yu-hwa watched the members taking snacks with familiarity and said contentedly.
“I was a bit late, but how was it? Did you guys discuss the concept or arrangement direction among yourselves?”
The members answered energetically.
“Yes!”
“…Huh?”
Since they answered so firmly and energetically, Yu-hwa was surprised and asked back.
Hehe, the members smiled confidently.
Actually, our meeting among ourselves was already finished before Yu-hwa arrived.
Yu-hwa was a bit late, but more than that, this time all the members’ opinions matched from the beginning, so we reached a conclusion quickly.
Han Da-min spoke as our representative about our opinions.
“This time, rather than making big concept changes or heavy arrangements, how about we go in a direction that brings out the original song as much as possible?”
“Oh, the original song?”
Yu-hwa thought for a moment, then raised her eyebrows and smiled refreshingly.
“That’s a good idea, isn’t it? Since it’s already a well-balanced dance song, I think Flora’s charm would come through well even with the original version.”
Han Da-min nodded in agreement with Yu-hwa’s words.
Until now, we had been arranging difficult songs as much as possible to make them suitable for competition and putting them on stage.
But this song didn’t seem to need that.
‘This song is better suited for Flora than our opposing team U&DA.’
U&DA may be strong in vocals, but they’re weak in dance.
They’ll likely arrange it in a direction that focuses on vocals.
On the other hand, we’re strong in dance centered around Han Da-min and Min Ha-young.
Even if we just remix it slightly for the competition and keep the original concept, we can draw good responses.
‘Plus, I like the rebellious concept too.’
Most of the members have glamorous features and good dance lines, so it will definitely suit them well.
But still, since it’s a competition, if I want to be a bit more ambitious.
“Um.”
When I slightly raised my hand, Yu-hwa and the members’ attention focused on me.
Something I heard during the second round judging suddenly came to mind.
