Chapter 312

─Everyone’s wishes have been successfully fulfilled! No matter what happens, the production staff will do their best for your healing!

The place where I met the PD, who had been shouting about healing throughout the pre-interview, was an upscale pension that resembled a mansion.

“Wow.”

“What’s up, Chiyo? Did you really want to heal that badly?”

“No, this place is just so pretty…”

“Chiyo, come here! Your unni will give you a big hug today!”

Chiyo unni, the first to dash out, was rolling on the wide lawn with green grass planted.

“Enough with the trivial compliments! Everyone, enjoy this moment to the fullest and run around like me!”

‘The lawn…’

Honestly, I usually keep my composure and act like a gentleman, but I just couldn’t resist such romance.

“Whoa, this is it…”

What is happiness, anyway? Lying on the cool yet warm spring grass, looking at the sky is more than enough.

“If only there were drinks here…”

“Do-hee!”

The PD approached right away, presenting a large icebox.

“We know you’re a big fan of drinks, Do-hee! Pick whatever you want!”

Even though he smiled a bit annoyingly…

“Oh no, Do-hee being a minor can’t drink alcohol, right? Hahaha!”

Anyway, there was that juice I had shot an ad for when I was 5, so I pulled it out and drank it.

“Alright, everyone, today is all about enjoying Chiyo’s wishes to the fullest and having fun! Feel free to wander around.”

With continuous urging, the inside of the pension was even more splendid as I stepped away from the lawn.

“What did you write down, Chiyo?!”

“Hehe! Enjoy to your heart’s content!”

With an interior that could rival a five-star hotel, I couldn’t help but feel grateful that Kimchi didn’t mess anything up.

Meanwhile, the production staff was busily setting something up in the yard.

“Don’t worry about this; just relax!”

From a glance, lighting was being set up ahead of an outdoor shoot, along with large speakers, tables, and grills.

“Isn’t it perfect weather for a barbecue? No shopping games today, and of course, you don’t have to cook yourself. You know, healing!”

Should I believe in this healing that the PD is shouting about at some point?

“The shoot will start in exactly one hour, so please rest comfortably until then!”

And precisely one hour later, I woke up from my nap gazing at the romantic sunset by the window to the unusually sweet voices of the unnis.

“Do-hee! Wake up quickly!”

“Yeah, Do-hee, let’s eat! Food!”

Looking at the table set up in the yard, I couldn’t help but understand.

“Where’s Chiyo unni?”
“Oh~ It’s coming out soon.”

A colorful array of meat, seafood, and fresh greens was all laid out.

Since there were plenty of rich ingredients available.

“Oh wow, just in time for everything to come out!”

The producer, clearly thrilled by the situation, was flaunting the freshness of the bright red meats and urging everyone to come over.

“Everyone, sit down, sit down!”

“Are we sitting right away? No games?”

“Oh, of course! Today we’re just here to eat deliciously! Hyun-sol, just slate it!”

“Yes! I’ll slate it now!”

Though it seemed like they weren’t paying much attention, I couldn’t help but worry that the producer, having received unnecessary harsh criticism last time, might be suffering more than expected.

“Do-hee, what should I grill for you first?”

“Are you grilling it yourself?”

“Oh of course! You know I used to work part-time at a barbecue joint back in school…”

Still, we were grateful and happy with this development.

After all, we decided to do our best to enjoy the occasion.

“Starting off with beef!”

“Yes! As today’s chef, I’ll grill it deliciously right now!”

So, after a while of boasting about his long grilling experience, the producer finally lifted the meat bone like he was holding a championship belt.

“Everyone knows, right? Tomahawk? Let’s get the tomahawk in—!”

—♫♬

Suddenly, a loud music blared, cutting off the producer.

“Huh? This song?”

A large amplifier that was plopped in the yard unexpectedly started playing a familiar melody.

“This is that one.”

Woo-ah Unni seemed to recognize it, smiling.

“It’s the vibe from our last accommodation party. Chiyo loved it so much back then; isn’t today supposed to be that kind of healing concept?”

Half of that was right.

“No…”

It was exciting just to hear the interlude.

The impressive 80s classic that the synthesizer produced indeed felt like the roller rink vibes from that day when we had spun a disco ball and DJed at the accommodation.

“Oh please…”

But this song was notorious for being used in a superhero movie and became an even more famous OST.

I pointed around.

The producer stood frozen, holding the meat as if he were statue.

The camera director was completely still, holding the camera.

The youngest writer paused as she dropped the slate onto the ground.

“Ah!”

It seemed like it took a while for Woo-ah Unni to realize, likely due to being a bit slow to catch on or just having a laid-back personality; she let out a gasp as if she just understood.

From what I saw, Woo-ah Unni’s personality shifting to more relaxed seemed heavily influenced by those who had been around all during school, likely adapting to conserve energy.
Due to the influence of the person I was attached to, it only seemed like I had adapted to save energy.

“Ha-ah…”

Anyway, even though I didn’t want to face it, I slowly turned my head.

Towards the entrance of the pension where I thought the source of this mess would be.

─Sweet Dreams are made of this ♫

A black leather rider jacket.

Full-on Gen Z energy goggles.

Even the earphones connected to a cassette.

Chiyo Unni was standing there.

“Smirk.”

Sii-peul.

*

[Idol group trend index No. 1 ‘Debonaire’…]

[“Unni has fallen into Do-hee disease” sympathy posts ‘flooding’… What the heck is Do-hee disease?]

[‘Debonaire’ Same ranks No. 7 on Billboard Global… once again breaking their own record]

The public’s impression of Debonaire was quite diverse.

Various keywords had no choice but to stick to the members.

[Debonaire is just a super beauty super fierce squad vibe]

[Seo-yoon, who gets teased for being the smallest, is 165 lol…ㅠ]

But among them, if I had to pick the two most jarring contrasting nicknames, it would undoubtedly be this.

A title that comes from their overwhelming visuals and tall stature.

[Super Beauty Squad].

[Today’s Debonaire fan signing lol who looks the most normal? Everyone says they’re No. 1 lol]

[Is this group’s vibe innate or acquired? Seriously, I wish the members would discuss this lol]

[Lately, I feel like Woo-ah is purely and subtly being herself, it’s true]

[A group where even if Na-eun was the youngest, she should have been the leader…]

A cute implicit nickname given for the utterly unpredictable messy atmosphere.

[The Raheeze]

The proof could be quickly discerned just by looking at the official videos of Debonaire that have been uploaded so far.

[DEB:ON AIR Season 4 Trailer #Shorts #Debonair…]

Even in a short video of about 30 seconds, this atmosphere was easily readable.

─Wow, Season 4 finally ㅠㅠㅠ

The short video titled “trailer” was clearly healing content for anyone who watched it.

At a table piled high with meat.

The members were laughing together happily.

Because it’s a thumbnail of meat and super beauties.

─What is this lol

But as always with Debonaire.

As soon as the video played, the development took a radical turn.

─What’s with their tone and expression acting lol

─Lol why do they both look so sly even while laughing

─Seriously, who told them to do that lol

[Hmm! Delicious ugh]

[Did you go to the market? Haha]

The incident began with a piece of meat.

Do-hee, who was about to take a precious piece of meat, quickly snatched it away and smugly swallowed it, while Seo-yoon was grinning like a devil beside her.
Oh, look at Kim Seo-yoon laughing like a devil right next to me.

The protagonist, who appears as a kind-hearted victim from a first-person perspective, let out a sigh, seemingly unimpressed by the childish antics of the two, and clicked the cassette button below.

And then.

[♫♬]

The world I lifted again is as stiff as a mannequin.

[♬♫]

Except for the free-spirited protagonist.

─Ah, I know this! It’s Quick Silver! Hahaha!

└What kind of self-content is this? Hahaha!

└Why are the production staff frozen too? Hahaha!

└Did they even do CG for that? How did they get a fork to float in mid-air? What a visual! Hahaha!

The protagonist calmly stood up and approached Woo-ah and Kim Na-eun, who were taking selfies cutely while doing a peace sign.

[Sweet Dreams are made of this ♫]

─Aren’t they just cutely taking selfies?

─What are you doing? Hahaha!

Then the protagonist began to change the finger signs of the two who were doing peace signs.

Their index fingers bent…

─Why are you using someone else’s hand to create a middle finger? Hahaha!

─Kimchi, are you a girl group? Hahahahahaha!

Although the fingers were directed at Do-hee and Kim Seo-yoon.

The mosaic treatment made it safe!

But the protagonist still had more to do.

[Who am I to disagree?♫]

Moving sideways again, the protagonist looked around and nodded, then this time picked up a bunch of garlic with their hands.

[I travel the world and the seven seas♬]

And with a mischievous grin that could cause a twitch at the lips, they shoved their fist into the mouths of the two who were laughing smugly.

─Hahaha! Why are you stuffing garlic in there?

─This is truly absurd! Hahahahaha!

─Are you a demon?

The protagonist stuffed garlic into Seo-yoon and Do-hee’s mouths and seemed to be bothered by the garlic smell on their hands.

[Everybody’s looking for something]

After washing their hands with the water in a cup, they even flicked the droplets at Do-hee and Seo-yoon.

─Hahahahaha! Chiyo, you’re relentless!

─Seo-yoon’s eyes are furious! Hahahahaha!

─The details are insane! Give this an Oscar for Best Screenplay! Hahaha!

Somehow, there was a feeling that a scream from Chiyo could be heard afterward.

─Do-hee got a piece of meat and ate it! Boohoo!

└Seo-yoon just laughed on the side! Hahahahaha!

The trailer could only end when the song stopped, and the screen faded to black.

─Oh, that was such an unexpected video! I’m dying of laughter!

─I’m definitely watching the main show! Hahaha!

And thus began the origin of the Quick Silver Challenge, which would become a huge trend from that day on.
