Idol’s Childhood Friend - Chapter 53



53 – I am the woman who chased after me for two weeks just to eat Ssangssangba

August has come.

Unfortunately, the weather forecast that predicted that it would not be much different from July, when half of the month was filled with rain, was correct for the first week of August……

Amazingly, today was a photo shoot that reminded me of Chaewon and I’s high school days, depicting the sunny summer we know.

By the way. What good is it all?

“Jjimjilbang, it’s been a really long time.”

Anyway, today’s shooting is indoor shooting.

… For reference, it is 36 degrees outside.

Rather good.

+++

Although I titled it as a high school shooting, I am the only one who actually went to high school.

As Chaewon began entering her debut group around the age of sixteen or seventeen, she gave up on going to high school after graduating from middle school.

After that, as everyone knows, she achieved great success with Ever.

In addition, in those days, I was also taking college entrance exams and all that, and it was common for Chaewon to work when I was on break, and for me to be on vacation when Chaewon was working. In fact, I can count on five fingers the number of times we met before the college entrance exam.

It was an awkward situation to film anything because there was too little connection to film a documentary of the two of us.

However, producer PD always gave us items that exceeded our imagination.

“Today, I will give you mission sheets briefly, but other than that, you are free to do whatever you want.”

If we had been active together in our teenage years, whether at school or in the entertainment industry, what would we have done?

Or, now that I think about it, I received a survey before filming about what it would have been like if we had done something like this back then……

Today, we created a mission sheet based on the survey and filmed it in the form of an ‘observational entertainment’.

So, I received a mission card from the beginning of filming……

「To. Yumin & Chaewon」

「Chaewon’s Bucket List: Spending time together in a sauna!」

「Fire and fierce! “We ended up going to a sauna, which is one of the places Chaewon would have wanted to go if she were a high school student.”

「After enjoying the sauna to the fullest by going back and forth between the hot bulgogi kiln and the cool ice room, please enjoy the delicacies of the sauna, such as delicious boiled eggs, sikhye, ramen, etc., And have a fun time like a high school student~.」

…… That’s how we ended up at a jjimjilbang located in Songpa-gu.

“Hey, are you the boss here?”

“As for the visual, you are the madam here.”

“You look like an old man wearing that.”

“It looks like even idols can’t cover sauna clothes.”

The savory and cozy interior and scent unique to a sauna.

We came out of the locker room almost at the same time, and as soon as we saw the loose, ocher-colored sauna clothes, friendly words of kindness poured out to each other.

“No, but isn’t that too senseless? “Why didn’t you come with a sheep’s head?”

“I will speak my convictions. “I’ve never been to a sauna and had a sheep’s hair done before.”

“It’s pride.”

“…… Anyway, you want to get hit with honey, right?”

“I knew it would be like this… ! “I even brought your towel~.”

As I smiled and clenched my fists, Ji Ji-bae hurriedly unfolded an orange towel behind his back.

Immediately, he sat cross-legged on the floor and neatly formed the shape of a sheep’s head.

“… “No, I don’t have the heart to write?”

“I worked hard to create it, but you won’t use it?”

“What is suffering? “It only took 3 seconds.”

“Huh? “So doing something for 3 seconds isn’t even hard work?”

“I’m sure what you did wasn’t hard work.”

“… Damn, look at how determined he is. “Why don’t you just tell me honestly that you’re embarrassed to use your sheep’s head?”

Anyway, he is very quick to notice things like this.

“… Is it because you don’t want to do what everyone else is doing? “Is it a hipster disease?”

“So far, I’m the only one wearing a wool hat here. “Then shouldn’t you actually use this?”

“… ….”

“Kang Yu-min. “You called me a hipster for no reason and you caught me?”

Ji Ji-bae walks back and forth with his head raised in front of him with an expression of being king.

“Does it hurt?!”

Takkong-, I had no choice but to hit Takbam.

“Ugh… ?! What is this, a declaration of war now?!”

“Give me the sheep’s head. “It won’t be okay to use it.”

Because he is afraid of engaging in an all-out war with the stubborn Chae-won, he immediately sticks his head out and gives off a hint of asking her to cover him up.

Since Chae-won’s attention was already focused on Kang Yu-min, who would do the double-headed thing rather than the one who got hit by the head, the all-out war could easily be resolved.

“… Wow, this feels strange.”

“What do you think? It’s just cute. “Let’s take a picture with me.”

Bow slightly and look at the camera.

It was quite embarrassing to see myself with a sheep’s head on screen, but as Chaewon said, isn’t everyone else doing it?

I smiled slightly and followed Chaewon’s lead and made a V with my hands……

“Hey~. Kang Yu-min has a secretly cute taste~?”

“… I know. “Am I cute?”

“… Shameless bastard. Look at the attitude change right away. “You really get king.”

The couple bracelets we received during the last photo shoot were hanging on our hands as we made V.

+++

After taking the picture, I immediately headed to the restaurant to fill my hungry stomach.

There is no way there would be anyone in the sauna on a weekday around 11 o’clock.

Thanks to this, I was able to spend my time leisurely in a quiet restaurant.

“Wow, I really want to eat everything. “Why are there so many delicious things in the world?”

Gimbap, pork cutlet, ramen, seaweed soup, stir-fried pork, tteokbokki, spicy beef stew, kalguksu, dumplings, cold noodles, mixed noodles, etc.

Chaewon’s eyes sparkle at the gorgeous line-up reminiscent of kimbap heaven.

“What do you want to eat most?”

“First of all, ramen, kimbap, pork cutlet, stir-fried pork, and tteokbokki. And… ….”

“There are two of us? “No matter how many menus there are, there are three to four.”

“The real Kang Yu-min. Why can’t you eat more? If you were a better eater, we could have added two more menu items… !!”

Anyway, Ji Ji-bae is afraid of being the devil’s daughter, so she says nonsense.

Whenever this happens, I really wonder what he is thinking.

“First of all, tteokbokki is fixed, right?”

“Unconditionally. “Unconditionally.”

“Then are you going to focus on snack food?”

“… Okay. “I’m sorry about our mixed noodles, stir-fried pork, seaweed soup, and meat stew, but I think you’ll have to go for snacks today.”

“Ma’am, our ramen, tteokbokki, and tuna kimbap.”

“Don cutlet. “I’ll also ask for one of our cheese pork cutlets.”

“… “You can eat it all, right?”

“Possible. You really shouldn’t ask me to order more later? “I have to eat eggs and sikhye later.”

“… “You seem to be enjoying your break like crazy.”

“Okay then. Don’t I have to earn money and eat a lot of delicious food? In that sense, let’s have an ideal world cup of the best chicken dishes with me while we wait for our food.”

There is no chicken dish over there. What does that mean?

———I couldn’t bear to say that one word out of consideration, so before eating, I told a story about the chicken dish, while eating, I told a story about the origin of sundae, and now Nakgobsae is carrying sikhye and boiled eggs. Talking about

… Have you been starving since you went camping?

“Jjimjilbang. Egg. And what a blessed forehead.”

“… The stone floor is more different than my forehead. “Don’t keep trying to add entertainment flavor to your vlog.”

“What you’re saying is the same as telling a comedian not to be funny or a teacher not to teach. “How can you tell me not to do a variety show when the two of us are filming together?”

The reason why the first Japanese vlog we uploaded reached 10 million views may be because we are best friends of the opposite s*x, but it is also because our chemistry went viral afterward.

Perhaps the most popular comments on YouTube were a comedy duo of conviction.

… Even though we joke, we have never made a joke, right?

Rather, what fun is it that I listen to that Jijibae’s nonsense all day long?

I took a sip of sikhye, thinking that even though I knew about people’s needs, I still didn’t know them……

“If you don’t pay, you lose, rock, paper, scissors!”

I reflexively unfolded my scissors at the sound of rock, paper, scissors that I heard over and over again.

“Hey, part your bangs and open your forehead.”

Chaewon still couldn’t get over her habit of putting out a wrapping cloth for the first plate.

“… Forehead? “What does that mean?”

“I have to crack the eggs. “Are you really planning to get away with it?”

“It’s all nonsense, we didn’t bet anything. “It was just rock, paper, scissors.”

“… Are you going to come out like that?”

“… ….”

“Yes. I, who am generous, will take care of you. Then let’s not hit each other’s foreheads———.”

“What are you talking about? Of course we should play rock, paper, scissors with our foreheads on the line.”

Ji Ji-bae shows an immediate change in attitude as soon as he passes over.

In the meantime, ‘Miss, why did I lose again…? ?’ If you look at the muttering, there is still a long way to go.

“I’ll get the scissors next time.”

“… “What are you going to do if you don’t pay?”

“Then I’ll assume I lost. Instead, if I win twice in a row by lying, then your forehead will be mine?”

“Hey, no matter how much you are at Seoul National University, I also have brains and know probability, right?”

“Then what are the odds that I lied and won twice in a row?”

“… ….”

“… ….”

“… Rock Paper Scissors… !!”

Mr. Han, a competitive fighter, gives up on finding the odds and immediately shouts rock, paper, scissors.

In Chaewon’s case, she had a habit of opening her fists with a high probability when provoked, so she made a wrapping cloth……

“… “There’s one left?”

“Really. Don’t play around, Kang Yu-min. “How can we beat this?”

Mr. Han, a competitive fighter of this era, continues to laugh out loud, as if it was so absurd that I won again after the previous one.

“I’m wiping oil from my forehead. “If it doesn’t break because of the oil, it will hurt.”

“… Really, you just have to get caught. That forehead? “Today, I take responsibility and make it happen.”

He shakes his clenched fist in front of me, and maybe it’s because Ji Ji-bae learned boxing, but the snap is no joke.

She kept her mouth shut, thinking that she might lose if she teased her even more here……

“Rock, paper, scissors… !!”

“Rock, paper, scissors.”

This time, we shouted together at the right time.

“… “This is so ridiculous!”

As soon as he saw an opportunity, he used a quick snap to hit an egg on his forehead, and Mr. Han, who had been hit by an egg, fell flat on the floor.

Wow, the overaction is severe.

Anyone who sees it will think you hit it with a hammer.

“Hey, maybe it’s because you have a pretty forehead, but the eggs are also nicely peeled.”

Go up to Chaewon, who is lying down, and show her a peeled egg in front of her.

Just as if I was distracting a child who was complaining about his side dish by playing airplane, I did my best to play airplane on the stairs.

———Whoop.

“… Whoop?”

Something passed quickly between my forehead.

I stiffly turned my head a few times, and there I saw Boxer’s hand holding an egg.

“…… I will declare this seriously. Rock, paper, scissors is over. “I won’t do it anymore.”

“Let’s just take a hit.”

“Do you think Forever will recognize this after seeing this?”

“It’s okay because Forever is on my side.”

“Controversy over your personality… ….”

“Isn’t it okay if something happens?!”

Absolutely protect my forehead.

“If I stop now, they’ll let me faint?!”

As soon as Chaewon heard those words, she quickly entered the Bulhanjeungbak, which she could never enter……

“… “I am the woman who chased after you for two weeks just to eat Ssangssangba.”

Ah, it’s Ja-chung-soo.
