182

“This is sweeter than I expected?”
“Want to try mine?”
“No, this is perfect.”

[What are these two doing right now?]

While one side endured humiliation filming a crime movie, the other was shooting a fake dating program.
The screen was brazenly filled with pink hearts, and the captions made the absurdity painfully obvious.

【You two… did you perhaps mistake which program this is?】

“Hey, eat this.”
“Oh? No, no, Ho-yoon should eat it. I’m not hungry.”
“I’m telling you to eat it.”

[Ugh, this is so cringey and I hate watching this sickeningly sweet atmosphere

└But you seem to be laughing quite a lot though
└└Caught red-handed]

Several minutes passed within the short thirty-minute segment, and the two just kept eating.
Seo Ho-yoon closed his eyes and savored the cool beverage, so much so that the PD worried the phone battery might die from the alarm.
Finally, unable to watch any longer, the PD stepped forward and asked.

“Um… aren’t you two going to complete the mission?”
“Oh.”

Seo Ho-yoon cracked open his eyes slightly and looked at him, answering flatly.

“We’re having a good time right now. Is there really a need to go?”

[Did he eat something wrong?]

It seemed the hot dog from earlier hadn’t agreed with him, or perhaps he’d had too much of Sol’s O—as the Noeul fans threw out all manner of speculation, Sung Ji-won’s expression was captured in close-up.

[Ahhhhh!!!]

He wore a smile tinged with subtle awkwardness.

[Oh right, since Seo Ho-yoon’s a traitor, Ji-won must be deliberately interfering right now]

[Ah, I see…
I thought Seo Ho-yoon got hit in the head wrong..

└That’s right, there’s no way Seo Ho-yoon would do that even if his opponent was Sung Ji-won..]

“…Hmm. Should we still go?”
“Sure, if you say so.”

[But why does this guy talk like this?

└Oh, I can’t get used to it]

However, when Seong Ji-won suggested it, he quickly changed his attitude and accepted it. Seong Ji-won just slightly raised his eyebrows again and quickly moved on. As if he was a little nervous.

“Aren’t you tired?”
“Ho-yoon, you must be more tired. You couldn’t have slept well.”

Flower CG fluttered around Seo Ho-yoon, who was looking at Seong Ji-won’s complexion and asking him affectionately.

[Stop adding flower CGs

└I can smell the flowers up to here…]

Fans tilted their heads as they watched the two moving around happily while chatting quietly.

[Guys
Hey guys
[Seo Ho-yoon’s the type where you can never tell if he’s actually a jerk or not…

[UNTRANSLATED LINE 77]

└I see…]

A subtitle was inserted below Seo Ho-yoon, who confused the sunsets.

【I guess the two of you don’t have any intention of going on a mission… … .】

The general public watching this was disappointed that the development was more peaceful than expected.
The general viewers watching this felt disappointed by how peacefully the show was progressing.
However, those who knew Seo Ho-yoon well were certain that entertainment couldn’t unfold so ordinarily. They were convinced that he was orchestrating the game to his advantage and running countless simulations in his head.

While fans of The Dawn were eagerly debating how the show would proceed in the future, the screen suddenly changed.

【Meanwhile, what about Kang Yi-chae?】

In front of the production crew, Kang Yi-chae was slowly opening the card on the floor with her legs crossed and a relaxed smile on her face.
With the production staff before him, Kang Yi-chae sat with his legs crossed, wearing a relaxed smile as he slowly revealed the cards laid out on the floor.

【Playing poker with the production team with the location of jewels and gold bars at stake】

The sunsets who saw that were momentarily taken aback.

[It’s really cool, but… that…]
[He’s damn cool, but… still…]

They were merciless even to ‘naesakku’.

[How did you practice poker when you had no friends?]
[How did you practice poker with no friends]

Kang Yi-chae checked the card and raised the corners of his mouth.

“All in.”

And I put in all the chips I had. The production team flinched for a moment, but soon decided to place their chips equally and each player to lose.

It was the production team who played their cards first.
The production staff revealed their hand first.

It was a fairly high genealogy.
It was quite a high-ranking hand.

“Wait a minute.”

Kang Yi-chae blocked his hand and slowly turned over his card.

[Straight flush?!?!?!]

Five cards with consecutive numbers and the same pattern.
Five cards with consecutive numbers and matching suits.

[UNTRANSLATED LINE 129]
[Ah haha ​​ㅠㅠ Don’t show that this has an Ebaji script ㅠ]
[LOL It was dismissed as a 3rd strike!!]

At the moment when negative reactions were soaring in real time, an explanation of the straight flush appeared in subtitles, as if this was expected.

【Hold on there! Viewers who suspect it is manipulation. Please watch this replay video.】

The screen showed the dealer handing out cards.
The screen showed the dealer distributing the cards.

【It looks like a real Tazza, switching cards through the gaps in his sleeves. This video is broadcast with Kang I-chae’s consent.】
【Just like a real card sharp, switching cards through his sleeve. This footage is being broadcast with Kang Yi-chae’s consent.】

Everyone watching the broadcast was shocked and could not keep their mouths shut.

[Did you change it?!?!?!]

As soon as Kang Yi-chae learned of the role given to her, she thought there would be such a mission, so she drew a card in her sleeve and hid it in advance.
The moment Kang Yi-chae learned of his assigned role, he anticipated there would be such a mission and had secretly prepared cards hidden in his sleeve beforehand.

[It’s not manipulation, damn it… They show Kang Yi-chae’s face and do it in slow motion… but the hand movements are a mess…

└If it wasn’t for slow motion, I wouldn’t have noticed]

[But you have a lot of money.. Why are you working so hard?

└The accepted opinion is that I’m just doing this because it’s fun…
└The consensus is that he’s just doing it because it’s fun…

“I lost….”
“I’ve lost….”

Kang Yi-chae, who received the declaration of defeat, kissed her card and took the mission sheet from the production team.

“Thank you, happy ending is mine~.
“Thank you, happy ending is mine~.
1)

Kang Yi-chae, who even kissed her hand along with a line from the movie that became the motif of the entertainment show, got up and went outside.

【Kang Yi-chae mission success!】
【Kang Yi-chae Mission Success!】

The jacket on Kang Yi-chae’s shoulders fluttered.
The jacket draped over Kang Yi-chae’s shoulders fluttered dramatically.

[Okay, Lee Chae, even if you don’t have any friends… it’s okay if you just pass by.

[UNTRANSLATED LINE 178]

.
.

At the time when Kang Yi-chae obtained the location of the jewels and gold bars, Jeong Da-jun headed to Daepa Castle under the staff’s instructions to learn the mission password.

“I will try to charm them all.”

I went into the office with my hair pulled back, feeling confident these days.
He entered the Company with newfound confidence, brushing his hair back.
Having grown up watching Seo Ho-yoon’s persuasive techniques up close and learning them firsthand, Jung Da-jun was certain he could pull it off just as well.

【Who is waiting for Jeong Da-jun who came on a mission?】

“came?”

But this time, a person I had never imagined appeared.

“You waited.”

[Min Ji-heon crazy??!??!?!?!!!!!!!!!!]

Min Ji-heon exuded an actor’s aura even more than in ‘Please Take Care of the Camera’.
Min Ji-heon radiated an even more powerful actor’s aura than he had during “Please Camera”.
Originally, one of the staff members was supposed to do it, but Lee Ji-hyun spotted Min Ji-heon wandering around the company with nothing to do and eagerly recruited him.

“……Stand, stand, stand, senior?”

Jeong Da-jun, who had no idea about this process, faced Choi Ae head-on without having heard of it in advance, and his movements stopped as if he had been buffered.

“……why…??”

Then Min Ji-heon came out of the reception area with a smile and walked closer to Jeong Da-jun.

“You’re looking for something, right?”
“Looking for something?”

[that…
[It seems…

[What I meant…
[Right?…

└Dajun Jeong is very patient…]

Jeong Da-jun, who was mesmerized by the sight of his One Pick, which he had only seen on a cathode ray tube, coming to life at a distance of 1 meter, shook his head from side to side to regain his composure.
Jung Da-jun, who had been mesmerized watching his ultimate pick come alive just one meter away—someone he’d only ever seen on screen—shook his head side to side and regained his composure.

bang!!

Jeong Da-jun hit the wall next to Min Ji-heon with his hand and forcibly lifted the corners of his mouth.

“Jeonghwa, shall we love properly?”

【Dajun Jeong’s idea of ​​the greatest beauty world: hitting the wall.】

[Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha I’m going crazy hahaha]

Although Min Ji-heon said the famous line from ‘Please Take Care of the Camera’ in an ambitious manner, Min Ji-heon just smiled as he looked down at Jeong Da-jun who was standing close to him.
With considerable ambition, I delivered a famous line from “Please Camera,” but Min Ji-heon simply smiled down at me pressed against him. It wasn’t the answer to the mission.

“…Yep. I guess so. Let’s go.”

The youngest, who was both disappointed and shy at the same time, quickly let go of the wall and tried to run away. However, Min Ji-heon was the first to snatch Jeong Da-jun’s arm.

Just like that, their positions changed, and when they came to their senses, Jeong Da-jun was trapped between Min Ji-heon’s arms and the wall.
Our positions reversed in an instant, and when I came to my senses, I was trapped between Min Ji-heon’s arm and the wall.
My eyes trembled uncontrollably as Min Ji-heon’s head tilted slowly downward. His lustrous chestnut hair fell across his smooth forehead….

[Wow, Min Ji-heon….
[But seriously, Min Ji-heon….

└I’ve learned how to make it look like a drama.]

“…Let’s break up.”
“…Let’s break up.”
“…Huh? You mean… me and my senior?”

[But you’re talking nonsense…

└Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk]

“We… have never dated?”

[Jeong Da-jun is even more sophisticated..

└Oh, I’m going crazy, really hahahahahahaha]

Jeong Da-jun’s embarrassed face was captured on the screen. It was something I felt like I had heard before, but with Min Ji-heon right in front of me, the thought disappeared.
My bewildered expression was captured perfectly on camera. The words sounded familiar from somewhere, but with Min Ji-heon right in front of me, the thought kept slipping away.

“Do you love me?
“Do you love me?
2)
”

[omg]

At that moment, a shiver ran through my mind.
In that instant, a chill struck straight through the center of my mind.
It was a famous line from a melodrama film that Jung Da-jun, who had never even experienced love, romance, or unrequited affection, had watched while crying his eyes out.

“Uh, uh, how does love change!!!
“How, how, how does love ever change!!!?
3)

Ding-dong-dang-dong!!

Then the production crew behind the camera pounded the xylophone like crazy.

【Jeong Da-jun’s mission success!】
【Jung Da-jun Mission Success!】

[Hey Jeong Da-jun]
[Hey Jung Da-jun]

“Kkeaaaa!!”
“Kyaaah!!”
“Take care, Da-jun.”
“Yes!! Yes yes! Senior, I’m really a fan of yours!!”

Jeong Da-jun, who let out a roar of joy and bowed at 90 degrees to Min Ji-heon’s words, ran out in a hurry. Min Ji-heon, looking cutely at the scene from behind, flashed across the screen.

“Hyung!! Lee Chae, I knew it, ah!!”

It was a question that Jeong Da-jun could solve because he was a drama fanatic and had received his early education through dramas and movies since he was in his mother’s womb.
It was a question only Jung Da-jun, a drama fanatic who had received early education through dramas and films since he was in his mother’s womb, could answer correctly.

-okay?
-Got it?
“Yeah!! Oh, Min Ji-heon’s acting was incredible, but anyway, that’s not it. Did you win the bet, Hyung?”
-Of course I won. So what?

As Jeong Da-jun shouted in pure joy, Kang I-chae’s low laughter was heard through the phone.

-So, how does it change? Dajun.

The moment those words reached his ears, Jeong Da-jun felt a strong touch.

“…Huh?”
“…Huh?”
-I think this is the end for us.

Just like that, Kang Yi-chae said his last words.

-We break up.

Jeong Da-jun, who was looking blankly at the disconnected phone with a shocked face, called again.
Jung Da-jun stared blankly at the disconnected phone, his face frozen in shock, before calling again.

-You will be connected to voicemail… .
-This call has been forwarded to voicemail….

[hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha]
[hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha]

“Wait, why?!”

[Why why hahahahahahahahahahaha you were betrayed haha]

【Second betrayal occurs!
【Second Betrayal Triggered!

While Jeong Da-jun was lying on the floor stomping his feet in frustration at being betrayed, Kang I-chae was making a call to someone using the speaker phone.

-hello?
-Hello?

Kang Yi-chae smiled brightly as if it was fun.

“Is everything you want ready?”

There are less than 5 minutes left until the broadcast ends.
Less than five minutes remained until the broadcast ended.

In the studio where the members first sat, Seong Ji-won, Kim Seong-hyun, and Jeong Da-jun were gathered together and chatting happily, while Kang I-chae was shuffling cards alone in the corner and relaxing.

“Kang Yi-chae.”

Seo Ho-yoon silently approached Kang Yi-chae without making any sound. Kang Yi-chae’s eyebrows twitched when she slowly raised her head and saw him.

“Let’s plan a game with me.”

With the light on his back and his head tilted, Seo Ho-yoon looked somewhat arrogant.

“I won’t make you regret it.”

However, the results seemed to be perfect.
Yet he seemed equally confident in the outcome.
Kang Yi-chae’s lips curved upward in delight.
At the same time, the team arrangement that had been in constant opposition shifted, and lines were drawn across the emoticons of Jung Da-jun and Kim Sung-hyun with CG effects.

【Kang I-chae, Seo Ho-yoon.
【Kang Yi-chae, Seo Ho-yoon.

From the beginning, they had planned to stab the other members.

[and………..]

The movie BGM was played on the screen as Kang Yi-chae was trotting somewhere.

“You know who the traitor is?”
“Do you know who the traitor is?”
-Yeah, Sung Ji-won.
“Hyun-sung said he was a traitor too.”
-Of course that’s a lie, you fool. Would Kim Sung-hyun just tell you straight up?
“Hmm. I think he might actually tell me straight.”

Kang Yi-chae, who slightly lowered his gaze at Seo Ho-yoon’s words and looked around while smoothing his chin, came to a conclusion.

“Why? I’ll tell you. In fact, I already sent you the location of the locker via message.”

He raised his head and his eyes looked somewhere.

“But—.”

It was a public phone that the production team had installed in advance to report traitors.

“—Even if I told you, it would already be too late.”

From the beginning, Kang Yi-chae planned to betray Seo Ho-yoon as well.

“I will be faster than my brother.”

【The third betrayal occurs!
【Third Betrayal Occurs!

1) A line from Yenikol (Jeon Ji-hyun) in the movie ‘The Thieves (2012.07.25.)’.
1) A line from the film ‘Thieves’ (2012.07.25.) spoken by Yenicol (Jeon Ji-hyun).
2) A famous line from the film ‘Spring Days Go By’ (2001.09.28.) spoken by Sang-woo (Yoo Ji-tae).
