ALL NOVEL Chapter 317
[Bang Bang Bang!]
[Cheers! Do-hee Lee's Inspiration Camp Opens!]
The opening is raising expectations to the max.
The chat is skyrocketing.
─Looks like it’s definitely Dorahee, LOL!
─Not surprised.
─LOL! OMG, it’s a mess from the start, seriously.
But it’s still just the beginning, as predicted.
Seo-yoon raises her hand quickly to ask a question.
[Seo-yoon: So, so what are we doing?]
Do-hee spins around with excitement.
[Do-hee: Ah, that’s a sharp question! What brings inspiration? It is!]
[Seo-yoon: If you’re saying we need to dress up like our grandmas, you’re really dead.]
Suddenly, silence falls.
Their faces slowly intersect.
[Whimper;]
Do-hee crumples the cue card and throws it behind her.
[Do-hee: There’s no way I’d make such outdated jokes, right? Haha!]
[Na-eun: ……]
[Woo-ah: Oh, nice block, Seo-yoon Unni.]
─Ah, LOL!
─Expert Kim Seo-yoon predicted it again, LOL!
But the cue cards weren’t done.
Do-hee rummages through her pocket to pull out another cue card.
[Do-hee: It’s simple! Our members have been playing way too monotonously lately. Right?]
[Chiyo (the epitome of monotony): That’s right!]
[Na-eun: I don’t think so…]
[Do-hee: Yes, thank you for the response, Chiyo! That’s right. I realized we’ve never done dynamic outdoor activities while trying to have fun.]
[Woo-ah: Seeing Do-hee’s speech dragging on… ]
[Seo-yoon: Just remember, next is my turn.]
Their gazes lightly cross again.
[……]
Do-hee looks away and throws the cue card behind her again.
[Do-hee: But nothing is as fun as indoor activities, right?]
[Chiyo: (So sad, so sad)]
─Ah, LOL!
─What kind of preparation is needed for endless cue cards, LOL!
─Do-hee is so funny, like, seriously earnest about it, LOL!
─An idol who’s serious about self-content.
[Do-hee: It’s simple. You all just need to play the games I suggest as your host.]
Of course, questions about what games arose.
And the gracious host, Do-hee, happily answered.
[Do-hee: They’re really ordinary games. Maybe ‘Freeze Tag’ or ‘Mugunghwa Flower Has Bloomed,’ or it could even be dodgeball.]
[Na-eun: For real? Is it that simple?]
[Do-hee: Of course. I’m just happy to see you all enjoying yourselves.]
After saying this, Do-hee spins around again and declared.
[Do-hee: Our members are my muses! (Spinning around)]
[Woo-ah: She’s spinning.]
[Seo-yoon: She’s dizzy.]
─The members are my muses, wow!
─She’s calling them muses and is just spinning, T.T
Still, you couldn’t hide the satisfied laughter etched on the members’ faces.
[Na-eun: This is okay, right…?]
[Woo-ah: Right, it’s a Do-hee thing.]
Because if it’s Do-hee, it wouldn’t be strange for her to do even more.
[Chiyo: (big. disappointment)]
Only one person was staring at the podium while feeling a bit down.
[Seo-yoon: Well… Do-hee is definitely a hundred times better than whatever that Chiyo did.]
But as soon as those words ended…
Do-hee and Seo-yoon crossed paths again.
─What’s happening this time?
─??? Suddenly?
Zoom in on Do-hee’s solo shot.
[……]
Do-hee maintained a blank expression and suddenly clapped her hands in the air.
[Clap, clap!]
─What???
Then, from somewhere, a familiar synth melody echoed.
[♫♬~]
The smiles the members had were naturally…
[(serious face)]
Wiped away.
─HAHAHAHAHA
─Oh man, LOL
[Do-hee: Actually…]
Only Chiyo, understanding that feeling, had sparkling eyes.
[Do-hee: I wanted to try this just once.]
[Sweat Dreams~♬ Are made of this♪]
[Do-hee: It looked fun… Hehe.]
*
You had to follow the organizer’s suggestion.
This was the implicit rule of this content.
The members had to forcibly play along for the shorts filming until Do-hee was satisfied,
And the only good thing was that it was slightly more dignified and a different version than Chiyo’s.
─They’re really having fun LOL
─So cute
While everyone was stiff like mannequins.
[Everybody’s looking for something~♫]
Do-hee was dancing wildly alone, freestyling at 20 times speed.
─Why does she have so much vibe while dancing on the spot? LOL
─But seriously, her dancing gets better every time I see it.
In the meantime, she was quite a sensation for her dancing skills.
Anyway, after Do-hee’s version of the quicksilver short film shooting,
The inspiration camp of Lee Do-hee finally began!
Do-hee flamboyantly spread her hand holding cue cards and initiated.
[Do-hee: Lee Do-hee’s inspiration~]
And the following group chant.
[Chiyo: Camp!! (excited)]
[Woo-ah: Camp. (calm)]
[Na-eun: Camp… (gloomy)]
[Seo-yoon: Hah… (grumbling)]
[Do-hee: Huh? Seo-yoon unni isn’t participating?]
The location was a set prepared for a clear direction.
[Do-hee: Are we doing it again?!]
The members were already sitting on cushions, ready on the floor.
[Do-hee: Lee Do-hee’s inspiration~]
[Camp!!]
─LOL This really feels like a variety show.
─For real, it’s like watching an old-school weekend variety show.
─Every time I watch Do-hee, I feel like she secretly wants to be the host LOL
└There’s no place without ambition LOL
The inspiration camp of Lee Do-hee, which will be talked about for a long time,
Finally had its grand opening.
It unfolded.
[Do-hee: The first activity we’re going to try is… jump rope!]
[Woo-ah: Oh, no way?]
Woo-ah looks like she knows something.
[Do-hee: You might wonder what inspiration has to do with jump rope, right? But I’ve been searching for tons of choreography videos with Woo-ah Unni lately to get inspired. The members probably know about it.]
Do-hee reenacts the moment with an unnecessarily dramatic tone.
[Do-hee: But, oh! I found this one video that made my heart race. It’s called hip-hop jump rope! Double Dutch!]
─Double Dutch?
─Please don’t tell me the next album is going to be hip-hop?
Sharp comments pop up as a clip demonstrating the activity plays on screen.
A breakdancer dances and steps along to the music.
[Double Dutch]
With two ropes spinning in opposite directions around them, the breakdancer seems to ignore the ropes, simply dancing and stepping to the rhythm. And as they step, the ropes naturally brush past.
─Wow, they dance really well.
─I had no idea this existed, haha!
─Oh, that’s interesting!
[Do-hee: I looked up a lot of this, and inspiration just keeps flooding! I thought if the members try this, it might spark even more inspiration!]
Of course, the members…
[Seo-yoon: Surprisingly… it’s not that weird, is it?]
[Na-eun: Right? It actually looks kinda fun.]
Even the troublemaker seems satisfied.
[Chiyo: Oooh…]
And Do-hee steps up to demonstrate.
[Do-hee: Actually, I practiced a bit with our staff yesterday! Music, cue!]
But the melody that plays is…
[Sweat dreams~♬]
Not that song again.
[……]
[Do-hee: No, this time… please change the song!]
With the new song, Do-hee confidently steps back in and starts stepping lively.
[Do-hee: …Ah, this isn’t it.]
She can’t get past five jumps and trips.
[Do-hee: But yesterday I made it to 30… why can’t I do it today…?]
Looking dejected, she pleads for help from the staff turning the ropes.
[Do-hee: Writer-nim, you saw how I did it yesterday, right? You were amazed at how well I did… It must be because freestyle changes the rhythm when the song changes, right?]
<<Of course!>>
But the truly ridiculous moment came after that.
[Do-hee: Huh?]
After whining for a while, she suddenly stops and mumbles something.
[Do-hee: Oh, I think I just had a little inspiration.]
<<What?>>
It’s just absurd, but…
The trust level was… quite high.
[Seo-yoon (the expert on Do-hee): …It really seems the same? What is it.]
─Hahahaha, no way
─If it’s Do-hee’s expert opinion, it must be true.
<<Their fierce hip-hop jump rope session will be revealed in the behind-the-scenes!> The heated hip-hop jump rope will be revealed behind the scenes! *
I was organizing the inspirations that popped into my head throughout the jump rope session.
“Do-hee, what did you really think of earlier?”
“Huh? Oh, a little.”
Since the camera was rolling, I couldn’t spill the beans about the upcoming title track, but it was true that something had definitely come to mind.
Scenes from the music video mixed with the lyrics I’d revise danced in my head as I returned to the dorm.
“What about that person?”
Seo-yoon Unni looked at me like I was a weirdo.
But I was the one who felt wronged.
“I mean, this is an inspiration camp, right?”
“What do you mean…”
“Did you think I was joking? I’m serious!”
It was a bit embarrassing to say, but the sisters were truly my muses.
And this album, in particular, was a song capturing the playful side of my unnis.
Why didn’t they realize that I could find keywords bursting with inspiration in each one of these moments?
“Okay, we’ll start recording again!”
Of course, [Do-hee's Inspiration Camp] was still ongoing.
“Do-hee’s inspiration~”
“Camp!!”
Yeah, that sounds good this time.
“Alright everyone, the activity we’ll be doing now is Mafia!”
…
“So, you think it’s me? Wait, how can you be so sure right away?”
“Unni, your expression looks totally off compared to usual, right?”
“Wow, Jiwoo, you’re being stubborn? This is just how I am!”
“Honestly, I find Kim Na-eun Unni more suspicious than Seo-yoon Unni. She’s been quiet this whole time.”
“Yeah, that unni is the one who’s deliberately being quiet to avoid getting pointed out. Honestly, Na-eun Unni is a hundred times more suspicious than I am.”
“Ah, Unni, wait, isn’t this Chiyo’s fault? Na-eun Unni is awful at these games, so her talking less isn’t a new thing, suddenly you’re all targeting her.”
“No? But I think Jiwoo, you’re the sketchiest. You’re piling on the accusations the most.”
For the record, there was not a single Mafia among them.
All four were just citizens.
I just wanted to see the four citizens bickering, scheming, and fighting amongst themselves.
Even though it was all about inspiration, it was also a lot of fun…
But that made me a little sad too.
“Guys, I’m telling you, it’s really not me… You know I can’t do Mafia stuff.”
“Wait, that just means Do-hee could have given the Mafia to Na-eun Unni, right?”
“Exactly!”
Incited by the corrupt power who claimed there was a Mafia, the citizens began to suspect and accuse each other.
Sad, but isn’t this just a microcosm of the social system?
“The morning has come, everyone please raise your heads.”
Once again, there were no doctors or Mafias here.
“Last night, no one died.”
“What? Did a doctor save someone?”
“Who was the doctor? Who did you choose?”
Ah, how pitiful.
