Idols Around the World 328

Chapter 328 – #49. White Rat (4)

Watching the first broadcast together was quite nerve-wracking but fun.
Although it is a drama that we filmed ourselves, the result of editing is bound to be different.

“Wow~ The colors are crazy.”
“Look how pretty Haesol is.”
“There were many reviews saying that the camera couldn’t capture all of her beauty, but this time I think that kind of review will fit in.”
“I heard that Mr. Kagam changed his soul, but it was true.”

According to the contents of the drama, Hee-seong was a man with a great appearance.
That’s why there were many cases where I took a picture of my face, but in reality, this was shown for over a minute.

“It seems like only my face keeps showing up. Is this because of my mood?”

Even after the introduction of the character, my face appeared on the screen exceptionally often.
The story develops quickly, and the screen does not switch for an exceptionally long time only when my face appears, so everyone watching has no choice but to notice the blatant intention.

“I don’t think it’s because of your mood?”

Noona Joo nodded as if she had the same thoughts as me.
The character I played was a person who was honest with his feelings, so I had to use a lot of facial muscles every time I acted.
And those various faces made me praised by the staff and the director, as well as by my older sisters.
It is said that it is really good to see a good-looking kid making various facial expressions.

‘No matter how much, I wouldn’t have emphasized my face that much, director.’

Pretty things are the same for Joo-ah and Min-young, but I feel embarrassed because they seem to emphasize my face too much.
However, in the world of gender reversal, nothing seems to help viewership ratings as much as a male face.
Minyoung noona poked me in the side and said.

“Still, it seems to have an effect. Look at the people around you.”

Despite the fact that the staff members had already spent quite a long time with me and got used to it, they were constantly admiring my face on the screen.

“It’s a face I see every day, why is that?”

When I asked because it was absurd, the staff smiled shyly and said.

“Will it be new and thrilling every time I see it…”

I don’t understand, but I do.

“What about the ratings?”

It took a while for me to focus on the splendid visuals and the fast-paced story, unaware of the passage of time.
Rather than worrying about broadcasting, we are now more concerned about ratings.
The momentum was good and everyone agreed that it would be fine, but I was worried because that didn’t really happen.
This world also had developed media, so it was difficult for TV ratings to exceed 10%.
To be able to enjoy a dinner party, a good viewership rating was necessary.
While we are all staring at the director’s phone.

“Yes, hello?”

I finally got a call from the director.
Of course, it is a broadcasting station.

“Oh! Yes, I understand. Haha! Yes… Yes yes…”

We waited until we hung up the phone with full of excitement when we learned that the director’s expression was not bad, at least not at the level of ruin.

“Yeah, I have to tell you. Everyone is very worried. Yes, please go in.”
“Director! So what about the ratings?”

All eyes turned to the director.
Resolutely receiving that gaze, the director suddenly raised his hand.

Flash!

It is a hurrah pose with both arms raised.

“Average rating of 9.3%!! The highest ratings went up to 11.4%!”
“Omg!”
“Wow!”
“Hey~!”

It’s an average rating of 9.3%.
I approached sister Jooa’s ear and asked.

“Isn’t that a bad level?”
“It came out very well. It will be more fun in the future. It’s worth trying even 10% next time.”

Joo-ah noona also gives information in a sensible, small voice.
I nodded and smiled contentedly.

“Thank god.”
“You were very worried about taking on her first leading role in her second film, right?”
“Huh. At least she hoped it wasn’t ruined. My face must have worked hard.”

At the end, they showed aegyo with a playfulness.
After hearing the ratings, all the staff relaxed and started to enjoy the dinner, so there was no point in looking at us.
Min-young noona smiled her eyes and agreed with my words.

“That’s right. What would I have done if there was no real haesol? Because you are Hee-sung, the viewers would have been able to understand it.”

… I said it as a joke, but if you take it seriously, what am I to do?
Unfortunately, Min-young’s sister would be her honest statement with 100% of her sincerity.
I always think of myself as a great person.

“Actually, it was a joke that it was thanks to my face, and I think it worked out thanks to my noonas. In particular, it was the best to hold onto the hair and fight at the end of a flashy action scene.”

I raised my thumb and praised the noonas’ flashy action scenes.
I got used to the daily compliments I hear from people, but the compliments from Min-young’s sister, who was 100% sincere, became a burden.
It must be because it is a compliment that contains a lot of my sister’s heart.

“We had a good fight, didn’t we?”
“I’m glad that the hard work was worth it.”

The older sisters also blushed with joy at my praise.

“Now! Not like this, let’s toast! Director!! You should say a toast!”

The staff raised their voices and cried out to the director, perhaps thinking of loosening their belts and playing.
There are still a lot of shooting days left, so you have to play hotly while you can play.
The actors had to play a part in keeping the atmosphere alive.

“Didn’t you say there’s a karaoke machine here?”
“The lead actor is an idol, so I can’t try not to sing!”

Sing! Sing!

And I couldn’t leave out the subject that had to play a part in saving the atmosphere.

♧ ♧ ♧

-Did you prepare the apology well?
-… Yes.”

Bianca looked down at Khanna, who had come in her frilly, plain black outfit.
Her pale complexion and her rough lips gave a glimpse of her Kanna’s heartache.
She must have spent days unable to sleep properly due to anxiety.
But she couldn’t even satisfy Bianca.
Bianca smacked her lips like someone who had her delicious prey in front of her.

‘I’d like to show a funny side of me.’

Is it because you are looking forward to what Kanna will show you in the future?
Bianca’s heart was beating pleasantly.
Bianca smiled brightly as she recalled her twisted heart, bowing her head in front of her master and apologizing but still despising inside her.

– I hope it goes well. I’ll cheer you on.
-Thank you so much for giving me this opportunity.
– You must be in a good mood because the drama you are starring in these days is doing well. Was the timing good?

She hears what she has to say and she is filled with hope.
Bianca etched Kanna’s delighted face into her memory.
Now all I had to do was watch how that face would change.

-I heard about it.
-It’s a short time during the busy shooting schedule, so we probably won’t be able to talk for a long time. Are you ready?
– Of course. I had no intention of taking up too much time in the first place.

As Bianca expected, Kanna was looking at the situation very comfortably.
She assumes that her master will take her apology for granted.

She said, ‘Even though she said she didn’t have time, she seems to have prepared something great to spare.’

Bianca had a rough idea of ​​what apple she had prepared.
Aren’t you the kind of person who has nothing but money to present?

‘He’ll try to solve it with money again.’

She would always have covered up her mistakes that way.
But she picked the wrong opponent this time.

‘I gave you money like that, do you think of apologizing to the owner with money?’

Her apology won’t go through with Master.
No, not only that, but it might look very repugnant.

‘In the end, the apology will be useless, and you will be in my hands.’

How can I have fun with that white mouse?
It’s not that I’m worried because I can’t think of a way to enjoy it, but there are so many things I want to do that it’s difficult to choose.

– The house is cozy and nice.
-Does it have a cute taste?

When Hae-sol saw this house for the first time, she was happy with it, but to her two daughters of a conglomerate, a house of this size was no more than a villa.
It was thanks to the addition of Bianca’s hand that it became the level of a villa.

-Are there no employees?
– Not now.

In fact, I do not have a separate employee in this house.
Wouldn’t it be nice to hire someone you can trust, but in the end, how can you trust someone who pays money to hire them?
And even if you don’t have to hire, this large space is always kept clean.
Because only those who know Hae-sol’s abilities can enter, she uses her items to her heart’s content without considering the gaze of others.

– Not bad, right?
-Yes, thank you for being considerate.
– It took into account the circumstances of each other.

Khanna didn’t want others to see her apologizing.
She was thinking of renting a shop because she had the money, but Bianca said that there was no need for it and she unilaterally decided that her meeting place would be Haesol’s house.
It was claimed that no one would see the house, so it was perfectly safe.
In this case, it was decided not for Kanna’s safety, but for the safety of her master.

‘Because it would be a big deal if it were discovered that the owner and that extreme fan met again.’

Someone might have suspected a ‘spawn’ between the extreme fan and the owner.
If you think rationally, you’ll quickly understand that this is nonsense.

‘Because getting them something to chew on will be more important than the truth.’

It was a decision for Jin Hae-sol, but she unintentionally found out that Bianca and Jin Hae-sol were living together, and Kanna’s burden deepened.
This is because not everyone lives together, adding credibility to the rumors of a marriage between the two.

“Come on. You came right on time for your appointment.”

Inside the house, Jin Hae-sol was waiting for Bianca and Kanna.
Even though Kanna came to apologize to her, her heart pounded when she met Jin Hae-sol again.

‘Why do you like it, idiot!’

Embarrassingly, the cause of his wildly beating heart was greater joy than tension.
Even though I pushed myself to have a meal with him and ended up like this!

‘It’s still cool.’

He is a heartless opponent who never showed a smile to anyone who came to see him.
Kanna bit her lip hard, thinking that she was too much of a goo.

“Sit over here.”
-I want you to sit over there.

Bianca translated Chin Hae-sol’s words to Kanna.
At the moment, Kanna’s sadness came over her, and she unknowingly broke her complaint.

-… You know how to speak English. I mean you know you’re good at it.
-Do you think Haesol should speak English for you?

Flinch!

Kanna flinched at Bianca’s sharp point.
He seems to come to his senses only after being pointed out by her.
This is not a place to complain, but a place to apologize.

“I don’t have much time, so ask me to get to the point quickly.”
-I can’t stay long because I have a schedule. Are you going to waste your time like this?

Bianca had no intention of making her appointments for her twice.
And Kanna, too, knew that this place would be Bianca’s first and last benevolence, so she hurriedly said:

-No! It can’t be. Sorry, I must have been too nervous.
-Then hurry up and show me what you’ve prepared.

Kanna nodded and took her papers from her purse.
She placed the document in front of Jin Hae-sol and sat back down to apologize in earnest.

-I researched the level of damage I might have received if I was victimized by my actions.

As soon as Kanna’s words began, she twitched Jin Hae-sol’s eyebrows greatly.
But she didn’t know that, and she eagerly spat out the words she had prepared.
It’s like an office worker giving a presentation to his boss.
Perhaps she was unfamiliar with Kanna too.
I would have always been in the position of watching someone give a presentation.

-As you can see from the documents, we set the damage level by assuming the worst case.

It’s not that there’s no lack of immaturity, whether it’s from someone’s help, but smooth words that aren’t too bad continued.
Where she can’t see, she doesn’t know that Bianca is wearing her ecstatic expression.
If she had seen that expression, she would have had a hunch that something was wrong with her and Kanna.
However, the pressure, tension, and burden she was under narrowed her vision.

‘Let’s finish quickly.’

Kanna just wanted to finish her apology and put an end to this damn nightmare situation.
However, her impatience was making the situation worse.
