Idol’s Childhood Friend - Chapter 48



48 – Doesn’t my beloved honey tell Chaewon to call him honey?

As a generation who has been watching Producer Ahn’s entertainment since I was young, if I were to make a trailer for this shoot, I would start from the first scene. There would have been a meaningful beat, a black screen, and this phrase written down.

『There are two men kneeling here.』

…… Called.

Kang Yu-min –

“……Hello, Jo Yuri. During my military service, I received great comfort from watching various music videos, stages, and other activities, starting with IZ*ONE and going on to solo activities.”

Han Chae-won

“But why didn’t I know?”

Ji Ji-bae goes out of his way to stab the painful spot.

He glances at Chaewon and then looks at the camera again in a polite manner.

Kang Yu-min

“……The photo was so beautiful that I forgot the name for a moment. It’s not that I never knew it. Yes, it’s probably my fault though. I once again express my sincere apologies to Glassy (fandom name) and Jo Yuri. I give it to you.”

Han Chae-won

“I wasn’t able to add the rice cake and udon noodles. Don’t you feel sorry for your teammates? Even for Mei and Mana, who came to a far away country and wanted to taste the original dakgalbi (dak ribs).”

I turn around and look at my foreign friends who love Korea.

Mei Fujiwara

“…It’s okay. You can eat it later.”

Suzuki Mana

“Korean dakgalbi. I wanted to try it properly…”

It’s the last day of the payday, so I’m living on a tight budget. I guess it’s the feeling of a father who has a daughter who understands the hardships of life at a young age.

I am at a loss for words as I look at the wistful expressions of rice cakes and udon noodles leaving.

Kang Yu-min

“…I’m sorry, kids.”

That’s right. When you think of Chuncheon, isn’t there chicken ribs?

As soon as I arrived in Chuncheon, I went to a 70-year-old Dakgalbi restaurant that is famous for being delicious. What kind of person is the producer filming this program?

Yang Hyun-seok.

A.K.A A mean producer who plays with food.

We also did a character quiz with various saris, makguksu, fried rice, and drinks at stake……

Han Chae-won

“Hey, does that mean the rice cakes and udon come back? And does it make sense to remember the fandom name but not the name?”

Kang Yu-min

“…….”

Yes. Since I don’t know much about idols, my team ended up only eating real dakgalbi.

Not once, but I’ve already been on my knees for the fourth time because I don’t know what I’m seeing or misspelled my name.

That’s why I can’t even open my mouth to Ji-bae who gets angry, and I just keep my head down.

Sorry for not recognizing you.

I feel very sorry to Chaewon and May, who teamed up with me, and to Mana, who came to Korea for the first time.

…… I ate lunch like that without realizing that the chicken ribs were going into my nose and mouth.

After eating, I was disappointed in PD Yang for creating such a time to apologize to the public, and at the same time, I kept thinking about how I could restore my lost credibility.

Kwon Se-rin

“Producer. Is this really okay?”

It was right then.

Yang Hyun-seok

“If you succeed in the mission, you will receive up to 10 million won for grocery shopping———.”

A mission to see a long distance to eat at a glamping site.

You carry out a small mission within a limited time, and at the end of it, you go around the elephant’s trunk and press the part with the amount written on the large round board with your finger with a thumbs up……

The point here is that most of them are around 200,000 won, and if you do really well, you can win 300,000 won, but in a vicious way, there is 10 million won in the corner of the round board, the size of a little finger.

I wonder how much the production crew giggled while drawing that circular plate.

Making that assumption greatly stimulated the spirited young people’s desire to win……

Kang Yu-min

“I am selected for Taekwondo?”

There was a man there who would spin 1080 degrees when he was bored.

Yang Hyun-seok.

A.K.A. PD struggling with cubic crystals.

Kang Min-ah

“Wow!!!”

Shin Soo-min (Minah’s friend)

“Kang Yu-min! Kang Yu-min!”

Lee Da-hyeon (Yerin’s friend)

“Oppa, take me~!”

Han Chae-won

“Did you see?! This is my friend?! Come here, my little bastard…!!”

Kwon Se-rin

“Yumin, you are the best…!!”

On one side of the camera, the cast members are being filmed cheering.

Lee Hyun-seok (main writer)

“…….”

Jeong Hyun-jun (sub-writer)

“…….”

Kim Ji-min (sub-writer)

“…….”

Go Yoon-jin (Sub PD)

“…….”

Seong-Hoon Pyo (Sub PD)

From noble mtl dot com

“…….”

The camera on the other side showed the production crew at a loss for words.

Yang Hyun-seok

“………Huh?”

Producer Yang lost a huge sum of 10 million won through another cubic tablet.

Han Chae-won

“I heard a washing machine is essential for glamping these days. Go buy one.”

Kwon Se-rin

“If you go to the washing machine, shouldn’t you follow the dryer? Hey, go to the LG Objet Collection.”

Lee Ye-rin

“Then, to balance things out, I guess I should go with Samsung Bespoke refrigerator.”

Kang Min-ah

“I always sleep at Krispy Baba. Is there one nearby that sells it?”

Fujiwara Mei

“…I need to buy a cell phone.”

After all, the young and rich people of this era think of things they can buy with 10 million won, saying that they have already spent money.

Following them, their best friends began to mention, one by one, the things they had been unable to buy because they were too expensive……

Yang Hyun-seok

“I wanted to joke…! I’m sorry…!”

In the end, PD Yang had no choice but to kneel on behalf of the production team.

+++

Buy as much food as you can while glamping, but only buy as much as you can eat.

We will provide a gift certificate worth 100,000 won per person in the future.

And we will upload a short apology broadcast about the danger to Cubic Pavilion.

In return for these three conditions, PD Yang was able to get up from his knees.

Yang Hyun-seok –

“There is a mission while you are shopping.”

But has Producer Yang’s entertainment ever flowed easily?

Yang Hyun-seok

“If you’re a best friend, don’t you have the advantage of being able to express yourself in a sincere way? So, we’d like to give you the opportunity to express those expressions generously while shopping.”

The contents are as follows.

I do shopping with my best friends using a cart for 15 minutes.

Through the lottery, choose two keywords that you must say to each other while shopping and one common keyword that you must hear from others.

Keywords that must be said to each other must be said once every minute, and joint keywords must be heard by at least one pair of best friends while shopping.

If you perform all 3 keywords while shopping, you will obtain all long distances.

However, if you fail to listen to the two missions, especially the common keywords, you can make a second bet with the production team using the long-distance gun you bought.

To be honest, I didn’t think much of anything after hearing the mission details.

I thought it was a relatively easy mission because 15 minutes was not that short and there was no price limit on the purchase itself.

Lee Ye-rin

“…No, what is sweet and sour to a friend?”

Kang Min-ah –

“Sister. Do you want to trade with us?”

Yerin Lee

“What are you?”

Kang Min-ah

“Baboutin cutie.”

Yerin Lee

“Dahyun, I’ll be sour.”

Kwon Se-rin

“Producer, honestly, Jang Dong-gun is not Ko So-young. They are not best friends, they are a couple…”

Just the nickname alone makes my head ache.

He was laughing like a child when he saw our reaction, just in case someone thought he was a bad producer.

Are you the same producer who knelt down and apologized earlier? It really makes my heart feel bigger.

… Oh, so what about me and Chaewon?

Han Chae-won

“Honey~.”

Yumin Kang

“…….”

Han Chae-won

“I love you~.”

That’s right. ‘Honey’ and ‘I love you’.

…… What did you guys do to the lottery?

Han Chae-won ·

“My beloved Yeo Bong-bong~.”

Ji Ji-bae is very excited at the thought of taking control of Yeo-bo without worrying about others. He’s just using the mission as an excuse to kiss me…….

Come to your senses, Jijibae.

We are in a secret relationship.

Han Chae-won ·

“Didn’t your beloved honey tell Chaewon to call her honey?”

Yumin Kang

“The mission hasn’t even started yet.”

Han Chae-won

“Ahh.”

Kang Yu-min

“…Aren’t you really crazy?”

A situation where one suspects that one is drunk.

No matter how much you are my girlfriend and in the early stages of a relationship, not every moment feels lovely and cute.

Uh. No.

What will your fans think of me if they see what you do to me later?

Since I’m dating a celebrity, there are some things I have to deal with, but why is Ji Ji-bae trying to frame me as the worst man on earth?

Han Chae-won

“Honey, I love you~.”

Kang Yu-min –

“Please view the game as a game.”

I quickly took a picture to escape from the dangerous intention of isolating me from society, but then again, the day I went was market day.

Mei Fujiwara

“A natural match?”

Is there such a thing as such unreasonableness in the world?

The common keyword is ‘match made in heaven’.

Kang Yu-min

“Producer. Who on earth would use the words ‘match made in heaven’ to their best friend…?”

Yang Hyun-seok

“I wrote this yesterday after seeing kindergarten students walking hand in hand?”

If you have someone around you who has said to a close friend like Producer Yang, ‘Wow, aren’t those two a match made in heaven?’ Or has heard it, be careful.

That person is the king of kings who would even beat Pinocchio.

… So in other words.

Kwon Se-rin

“This needs to be done by two people.”

The one couple who can act more like a couple than anyone else should tie the knot.

In other words, so that people can say that Chaewon and I are a match made in heaven, we have to act like a couple and show our sweet side……

Yerin Lee –

“Wow. Saying ‘honey’ and ‘I love you’ to Chaewon, and then making fun of her so that she can say that she is a match made in heaven? Isn’t this going to be controversial?”

Yumin Kang

“…Please view the game as a game.”

I take one more picture for possible anxiety.

+++

Yang Hyun-seok

“Then let’s leave.”

The countdown started as soon as preparations were completed.

At PD Yang’s starting signal, the group quickly moved to the items each pair needed to buy, according to the pre-planned plan.

Chaewon and I pulled the cart to the butcher corner to buy meat, which can be called the core of glamping……

Han Chae-won

“Honey, since we’re doing this, don’t you remember the old days when we were in love so much? hehehe, of course it’s still hot now.”

Ji Ji-bae looks at my face with alluring eyes.

They are doing situational dramas where I have no idea what the setup is, without even consulting with me.

Kang Yu-min

“…Wow, I really can’t get used to it.”

I burst into laughter at the magical nickname that makes me feel so tired after leaving the mission.

To explain, it is a similar feeling to when I first saw chicken feet.

Just as many people enjoy eating chicken feet, I have seen my parents and other people do it naturally……

When I actually come face to face with it, I feel unfamiliar and have a subtle feeling of rejection, so my lips do not easily part.

Assistant Directing 1

“30 Seconds left.”

Meanwhile, the assistant director who was following us behind us kept telling us the remaining time……

Kang Yu-min

“Shall we go buy my beloved honey’s favorite pork?”

I take out a social mask to protect my mentality, also known as an impenetrable mask.

Isn’t there a saying like this in the world?

People who are loved and teased by many people do so because they respond in a pleasant way that others want.

It is in a similar context.

If I feel embarrassed and awkward at the words ‘honey’ and ‘I love you’ here, it may feel like I am rationally conscious of Chaewon, which can arouse Forever’s suspicion.

So, the standard decision here is for Jinchin, who has been friends for 15 years, to accept it as if nothing is wrong.

Shameless.

Yes, today I will wear this mask.

Kang Yu-min

“———.”

Han Chae-won

“…Wouldn’t you say that this is a match made in heaven?”

…… Even so, he would be no match for Chaewon in Jangku mode.

Han Chae-won

“I love you, baby.”

Kang Yu-min

“…Honey. Should I say honey, not you?”

Han Chae-won

“Yes. I love you, honey.”

Chaewon smiles and folds her arms even tighter.

Although it was only for a moment, she forgot that she was filming and gave a shallow smile and answered quietly.

As there were ten people, our tastes in meat were quite different.

Of course, even if you only buy two kinds of food, it will be okay since there are many other foods……

I have plenty of money and have to think about making a second bet with the production crew, but is there really a need for that?

Han Chae-won

“Aunt. Please give me half a pound of Jeongjeongsal and Ogyeopsal.”

Pork. Beef. Chicken.

Even lamb meat.

If the meat looked delicious, we put it in the cart, and as a result, the complexion of Yang PD, who was chasing us around, got worse.

When asked repeatedly if he could eat it all, he just smiled.

Han Chae-won

“Dear honey, can you cook all of this?”

Kang Yu-min

“Huh? Weren’t you helping me?”

Until I see Ji Ji-bae’s dark intentions.

What are you? Were you really planning on leaving everything to me?

I looked at Ji Ji-bae with a look of bewilderment at the situation of catching someone……

Han Chae-won

“Ah~. It’s because my honey’s grilled meat is delicious~.”

I reflexively felt a pang in my stomach at the fact that I truly had the mindset to not get a drop of water on my hands.

I don’t know who this guy is going to marry, but keep in mind that he really hates cooking.

Han Chae-won

“Today, my beloved honey, you said you would be the key.”

Kang Yu-min

“Don’t you remember who ordered the dolming out?”

Han Chae-won

“Serin?”

Kang Yu-min

“…Are you really a bad girl?”

Assistant Directing 1

“20 Seconds left.”

Kang Yu-min

“Our honey is loved because of this bold charm? hahahaha.”

Han Chae-won

“Ah. Now there’s nothing to praise.”

You were a kid who deserved to receive the Rookie Award.

I grit my teeth and force a smile.

Kang Yu-min

“…Shall we do what we think? I said I would be in full charge, but I am not a professional chef, so how could I take charge of 10 minutes? Where is our Chaewon’s conscience?”

Han Chae-won

“Wow. I think I left that on the train. What should I do?”

Ji Ji-bae gives a passionate performance as he rummages through his pockets.

Kang Yu-min

From noble mtl dot com

“I’ll call the customer service center and come pick it up. It’s so black that no one would have taken it.”

Not to be outdone, they attack fiercely.

Han Chae-won

“That’s too much. Is that something you would say to someone you love?”

But Chae-won Han in Jangku mode is different. She places both her hands on her waist and casts the so-called ‘Hung Chit Bung’……

Puh———. Even though I was dumbfounded by the sight of my girlfriend saying lines that I couldn’t emotionally engage with, not just once, but continuously.

I found it so cute that I couldn’t help but laugh.

Okay, you should win the Best Actress award next time.

Kang Yu-min

“I lost. I lost.”

I let out the laughter that was leaking out and lightly raised my hands.

Chaewon made a triumphant expression as if she had won a match, and I stared at her……

Kang Yu-min

“I guess this is why I’m still dating you.”

As a habit, I stroke Chaewon’s head.

Kang Yu-min

“I love you, Han Chae-won. Let’s get along well in the future.”

Han Chae-won

“———.”

Kang Yu-min

“Oh, that’s right. It’s not Chaewon here… Yes, honey. I love you very much.”

Smile slightly and look intently into the eyes.

At first glance, it seemed like he was doing it with a playful look, no different from what Chaewon did, but guess what?

I think it’s a bit NG for a male friend to pat his female friend on the head.

Han Chae-won

“Hiccup—.”

Looking at her slightly red face, I don’t think she thought it was a joke.

Yang Hyun-seok

“…Oh, you two are a match made in heaven….Hmph.”

Producer Yang, who was smiling happily in the background, says something quietly.

Huh? Mission successful.
