ALL NOVEL Chapter 275
[It’s now time for the girls who entered Friendship Village to introduce themselves.]
[First up is Girl No. 1.]
In a familiar pose, Do-hee stood atop the tree stump, sporting warning stickers all over her body. Although her eyes looked a bit weary, she started her introduction with a bright voice, professionalism on full display.
[Do-hee (18 years old): Hello, I’m Girl No. 1, Do-hee Lee!]
And thus began the usual self-introductions.
[Do-hee: My job is…! Here’s a hint: it’s the busiest job in the world!]
[Then… are you an enthusiastic fan of the popular idol, Chiyo-chan!?]
[The youngest daughter of a peach orchard! Pure peach juice!]
[Just a country bumpkin from Seoul.]
[Um… are you a model, perhaps?]
In Friendship Village, where everyone knew the answer was idol, a whirlwind of guesses flew around.
[Do-hee: Unfortunately, that’s not it. The busiest job in the world is~]
Naturally, Do-hee made a finger gesture as if to say none of those were correct, smiling as she responded.
It was the moment when Do-hee’s job concept was revealed.
[Do-hee: Helter-skelter ‘job’~ Hahaha!]
[……]
The atmosphere in Friendship Village went cold.
The chat box filled up quickly.
─Hey, Park Ye-eun, is that you?
─It’s Dog-rahee.
─Is she doing this on purpose?
People were impressed by the excellent dad jokes.
─Akkㅋㅋㅋ I can’t tell if I’m watching a comedian or an idol!ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
─Eekㅋㅋㅋㅋ why is my stomach hurting from laughing?ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
─The best comedian (the type who relies on looks).
Even while taking it in, Do-hee shrugged her shoulders, letting out a hearty laugh in a tone straight out of an American drama, swaggering around comically.
[Do-hee: Helter-skelter? Are you kidding me~? wow~!]
─Ah, Do-hee, you’re really driving me crazy!ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
─Why is your expression so cute?ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
And just before that scene quickly got edited out, the last frame caught Chiyo standing up.
[Do-hee: Girl No. 2? It’s just a joke! Hey, come on~!]
[……]
The naturally connected scene was seamless.
Returning to a peaceful atmosphere in the yard, while boasting idol-level looks, Do-hee, with warning stickers stuck firmly on her forehead, stood confidently.
[The other self sealed by the talisman of Girl No. 2]
There were subtitles floating gracefully below.
[Do-hee (not a vampire): Yes, I’m currently active as an advertisement model.]
[Woo-ah: Ah, I knew it! You’re so pretty!]
─Crazy editor, sealed with a talisman, haha!
─Not a vampire, lol.
─Talisman on the forehead and an idol, haha!
─Dorahee, evil spirit sealed!
[Do-hee: (a bit sulky) Now you can ask me questions.]
The viewers couldn’t focus at all on the yellow and red talisman stuck to Do-hee’s forehead.
[Naeun: You mentioned you were busy earlier, but if you were to have a partner, how many times a week would you meet?]
The parties involved continued the conversation as if nothing was wrong.
[Do-hee: For my partner, I could meet every single day. I can clear my entire schedule.]
[Naeun: Oh? Really?]
[Woo-ah: Can you take responsibility for that?]
[Chiyo: Are we recording this live right now?]
[Seoyoon: Hey, hey, cue the tape.]
[Girl No. 1 looks flustered]
[Do-hee: …But if we meet too often, it gets boring, so maybe 3 times a week…?]
─Hahaha, especially cute today!
─Look at how they all rush in when one chance appears, lol!
In fact, the ongoing conversation was also quite unusual.
Still, fortunately, the first contender, Girl No. 1, Do-hee (humor sealed), was able to receive generous points.
[Chiyo: I feel like I want to know more about you. My heart is saying… you get a 9.]
[Do-hee: (making a face)]
[Woo-ah: Actually, dad jokes aren’t really my style, but your laughing sound and expression are so lovely and cute, so I’ll give you a 10.]
[Do-hee: (bowing) Thank you!]
[Girl No. 1's first impression score is 8.4]
[Received a not bad evaluation compared to humor]
*
[Girl No. 2 is a character of interest that all the participants who became popular in the first impression voting are watching closely.]
[Chiyo (20 years old): Nice to meet everyone.]
[Do-hee: Not that nice.]
[Girl No. 1, with her identity sealed, secretly feels resentful towards Girl No. 2]
─Hahaha, when are you going to take that sticker off your forehead? It’s about time, isn’t it? Lol!
Hahaha, it’s about time, right?
└Do-hee really likes that, huh? Haha.
└This is totally Do-hee’s vibe; she loves making others laugh.
Chiyo didn’t mind and started her introduction concisely.
[Chiyo: My name is Chiyo, and I’m a rapper.]
[Woo-ah: You’re being pretty honest today, huh?]
[Seo-yoon: You went all out on the warning sticker concept?]
[Na-eun: Why are you like this? You’re cute~]
─How often must she have been like this to get complimented on being honest just for giving her name and job? Haha.
But Chiyo, just like Do-hee did with her dad jokes, made an obnoxious face while waving her fingers.
[Chiyo: Tsk tsk, I’m not just a rapper; I’m a super famous rapper, you know?]
[What’s the difference?]
[Chiyo: It’s just that I don’t know that when I go outside without a mask or hat, everyone stares at me, making me unreasonably embarrassed for no reason—like a super-duper popular rapper, hehe.]
[Pretty specific world view of No. 2.]
─Oh, haha, this Chiyo is just constantly ridiculous. Haha!
While everyone in the chat was laughing, annoyed as usual.
Do-hee raised her hand like it was nothing.
[Do-hee: So what’s your last name?]
[Chiyo: My last name is—]
But Do-hee interrupted her with a sudden “Aha!”
[Do-hee: Oh~ I get it now.]
[Chiyo: Oh, you know me, huh? A super popular rapper, of course.]
[Do-hee: No. 2, is your last name Park?]
Because of her somewhat lacking Korean associations, Chiyo only realized after Do-hee had already thrown out a new nickname.
[Do-hee: Park Chiyo, the rapper—Park-Chi!]
With the effect of a skull bursting beside Chiyo.
The subtitles were already up too.
[Unfortunately, Girl No. 2 is a popular rapper but has the name Park-Chi.]
[Park-Chi: Ah, that’s not it! What are you talking about! I totally keep the rhythm! No. 1, don’t say weird things! Are we having a rap battle now?!]
[Do-hee: Why not?]
─Oh man, haha, I was wondering why Dorahee suddenly asked Chiyo about her last name! Haha!
─Kim Chiyo (she’s Japanese) VS Park Chiyo (the rapper) LOL.
└Contradictory code names, haha!
─Do-hee, please let’s stop giving Chiyo such nicknames now…
Do-hee Lee, the guiser with the seal of Lahai’s ego on a talisman.
Park Chi-yo, the beatbox rapper.
The eyes of the two, who had earned a rather amusing new nickname, looked like the predatory gaze of a bird of prey targeting their game.
[Do-hee: Wow, it’s No. 3~]
[Chi-yo: Let’s go up.]
[Woo-ah: Hello, my surname is Ji.]
In simpler terms, it was filled with evil.
[Chi-yo: Are we guessing the name?]
[Do-hee: Correct! It’s Bae-ja, right? Bae-ja~]
[Seo-yoon: (laughing) But the name feels kind of endearing, right? Bae-ja~ Bae-ja~]
< Ruler...? >
─ This place is seriously off the rails, LOL.
─ I thought ‘Bae-ja’ sounded heartwarming, but it’s actually ‘Ruler’, what the hell, LOL.
Seo-yoon was just enjoying herself.
[Seo-yoon: How about just ‘Ruler’? Ah-yung~ Ji-ji-ba!]
[Na-eun: Hey, what’s Ji-ji-ba~?]
[Chi-yo: Oh my, this cheeky Ji-ji-ba!]
─ Ruler, LOL. Ji-ji-ba, LOL.
─ This cheeky Ji-ji-ba, LOL. Is that really how a Japanese person speaks Korean? LOL.
└ Chi-yo can be more Korean than Koreans sometimes, LOL.
And Na-eun eventually couldn’t hold back her laughter either.
[Do-hee: Ji-ji-ba, Ji-ji-ba-bae… the sound of a lark chirping Ji-ji-ba-bae…?]
Next to her, Do-hee was adding more nonsense while rhyming.
[Do-hee: Hey, wait, should I write a song on this topic? Something about Ji-ji-ba, lark, Ji-ji-ba-bae sounds good…?]
─ What kind of song is this, you Dorahee, LOL.
─ She came back right after shaking off the talisman, LOL.
─ Is this how a genius gets inspired in a true tale…?
[Do-hee: But, you know, unnie, lately your face looks like a cute lark…? Ah! No. 3, you’re so cute, my little lark Ji-ji-ba-bae~]
[Suddenly, the mood shifts to flirting]
─ LOL, “you’re like a cute lark Ji-ji-ba-bae”, what even is that?
For some reason, Woo-ah was also gaining new nicknames like Ruler, Ji-ji-ba, Ji-ba, Ji-ji-ba-bae, etc., but honestly, they just laughed for a long time.
