Chapter 27
I swear to God, I didn't have any ulterior motives.
It's just that I was amazed that Ha-eun, who is only 11 years old, already has an eleven abs.
That was the only reason why Min Da-yeon's index finger gently pressed right next to Ha-eun's navel.
There was absolutely no other reason.
"So, stop being mad now. I said I'm sorry."
"...I'm not mad."
The same calm voice as usual.
However, contrary to that, her ears were flushed almost tomato-red.
Min Da-yeon, who had been with Ha-eun for four years, knew without much difficulty that Ha-eun was shaken by her sudden action.
Ha-eun's condition hadn't changed much even after finishing her bath and eating dinner.
To be honest, she was the same age, and they were both girls, so she wondered why she was so embarrassed just by touching her stomach once.
Where did the person who used to perform like a possessed person and return to her unique poker face with just one okay sign go?
It was just that it was an unfamiliar appearance that Min Da-yeon had encountered for the first time since she knew Lee Ha-eun.
Even the self-centered Min Da-yeon couldn't help but care.
'But, if she already has abs, how many years has she been working out...?'
Min Da-yeon's ambitious plan to find out Ha-eun's acting secrets at all costs was somehow put on the back burner.
Not long after, Na-yeon came to Ha-eun's room with a plate of fruit and told them not to talk too late.
Even when Ha-eun, with her noticeably awkward tone, handed over a few books that Min Da-yeon could read from the bookshelf, she couldn't help but glance at Ha-eun and watch her.
'...Annoying.'
She wanted to put down the books and do something to ease this awkward atmosphere.
But seeing Ha-eun sitting at her desk and scribbling something like a diary, she couldn't bring herself to speak.
However, not even a few seconds later.
The YouTube video playing on the monitor right in front of Ha-eun.
"Okay~. It's exactly 9 o'clock now. If you haven't pressed the like button yet, please press it once~."
She belatedly realized that it wasn't a YouTube video, but a live broadcast.
In addition, she also realized that Ha-eun was not writing a diary, but taking notes while watching the broadcast.
-Peek.
"Hey, Lee Ha-eun. What are you... doing?"
She tiptoed slightly and shifted her gaze towards Ha-eun's notebook.
Almost at the same time, she encountered the dense writing in Ha-eun's notebook.
But for some reason, Ha-eun's closed lips hesitated and kept trying to say something but couldn't.
At that moment, one hypothesis flashed through Min Da-yeon's mind.
'That notebook, could it be... her acting secrets?!'
When you think about it, the image of Ha-eun that Min Da-yeon had seen so far was something that could be found in other people as well.
Of course, not everyone takes singing lessons from famous hip-hop crews like Deobeulli, or learns acting at an acting academy that has an exclusive contract with a large general agency.
However, it's not like there are no people who spend similar days to Ha-eun.
Among the celebrities in the same agency as Min Da-yeon, there were several people who were working as both idols and actors.
However, she had never seen anyone taking notes while watching internet broadcasts like this.
She had never seen anyone recording the changes in the broadcaster's voice tone according to the situation in the game or the approximate reactions in the chat window!
The only difference between Ha-eun and other people.
In other words, the things that made Ha-eun's acting attract people's attention were now.
It was the first time it had appeared in front of Min Da-yeon!
Then, in case she was right, she briefly turned her gaze to the side, and what came into Min Da-yeon's eyes was.
A scene where several notebooks with similar appearances were placed together.
-Thump.
-Thump.
Min Da-yeon's heart began to beat faster and faster at the thought that she had finally found the basis of Ha-eun's strange and creepy acting skills.
Nevertheless, she calmed her trembling heart as much as possible and let out a voice that pretended to be nonchalant.
"Hey, Lee Ha-eun. Can I... see that?"
She asked if she could see the notebooks that were thought to be Ha-eun's acting secrets.
After hesitating for a moment, Ha-eun nodded once, not horizontally but vertically.
Of course, from Ha-eun's point of view, she was just wondering why Min Da-yeon was suddenly showing interest in the notebooks for Virtual Youtuber preparation with sparkling eyes.
It's just that her expression looked so serious and desperate that she couldn't say anything.
In that way, the unique characteristics of Daramji's broadcasts that Ha-eun had seen, the virtual stories to be used when broadcasting as a Virtual Youtuber, and the list of various contents.
In addition, the notebooks containing unique speech patterns or concepts that would reveal Ha-eun's characteristics as a Virtual Youtuber were held in Min Da-yeon's hands.
Not even a few seconds later, Min Da-yeon, who couldn't hide the corners of her mouth that were naturally rising, lay down on Ha-eun's bed.
Only then, as she began to read each page of the four or five notebooks with care.
'...I need to make sure to keep her mouth shut later.'
She felt the need for a plan to prevent Min Da-yeon from spreading Ha-eun's real identity when Ha-eun debuted as a Virtual Youtuber in the future.
Still, unless their relationship really gets bad, there's no reason to do anything that would harm each other.
Rather than keeping the secrets of a Virtual Youtuber who hasn't even debuted yet.
She thought it would be better to listen to Min Da-yeon's request, who is such a close friend that they sleep in the same room and the same bed, as Na-yeon said.
However, Min Da-yeon, the person who gained this favor, not favor, from Ha-eun, is now.
'RP? What is RP? And, was there a group called among idol groups? It's the first time I've heard of it...'
As someone who is almost ignorant about Virtual Youtubers, she was struggling to interpret terms or guidelines that were difficult to understand.
'...I knew she would give it to me so easily. That unlucky girl.'
She misunderstood that Ha-eun had written down her acting secrets in a secret code that only Ha-eun could understand.
\*
"Lee Ha-eun, the broadcast you watched yesterday. Where can I watch it?"
"Um, it's called New World TV. It comes up when you search on Google."
"Okay."
Min Da-yeon, who spent the night with Ha-eun, was able to gain (misunderstand) a total of two things as a result.
1. Ha-eun's extraordinary acting skills were all learned by watching the internet broadcast of the famous broadcaster "Daramji."
2. Therefore, in order to act as deeply as Ha-eun, Min Da-yeon also needs to analyze Daramji's broadcast.
Of course, if Ha-eun heard this, it would be such a ridiculous story that she would wonder what nonsense this was.
Min Da-yeon was not naive enough to blab about the secrets she had found in front of the person in question.
Min Da-yeon, who thought that she would soon be able to act like Ha-eun, left Ha-eun's house like that.
And, not long after, Ju Jeong-yun came to Ha-eun's house with news that could be called good news.
"Ha-eun has been finally cast as the young Han Yu-hwa. Filming will start in just two weeks, so from now on, Ha-eun will─"
The story that followed was about things that Ha-eun should know before filming began.
However, Ha-eun had already filmed a movie as a full-fledged leading actress.
She thought that she would be able to do well this time without any major problems.
She had already finished preparing to stand in front of the camera again, and several highlight scenes from You Who Came From the Stars were also vividly etched in Ha-eun's memory.
"Deobeulli is also busy filming and <don't stop="" people=""> these days. I think it would be better to take a break from singing lessons for a while─"
"Um, Jeong-yun unnie. I want to continue taking singing lessons, even if it's reduced to once a week. No, once every two weeks. Is that... possible?"
However, unlike when filming with the neighbor ajusshi.
The reason why she insisted on singing lessons with Deobeulli even while reducing the frequency of singing lessons was.
'Hey, Ha-eun. Can you sing it with a slightly lower note this time? Don't just use your real voice all the time, mix in some falsetto in between.'
'Ha-eun will get a sore throat. She hasn't even reached puberty yet, so we should refrain from pushing her too hard, Jun-ah.'
'It's because I'm greedy. She fixes everything like a know-it-all every time I give her feedback.'
It was because she wanted to continue seeing Lee Jun and Lee Gun-yeol together in the studio.
The incident that Ha-eun remembered, which would happen to Deobeulli in the near future, was ultimately Deobeulli's fault.
But as of now, it hasn't happened yet.
In other words, there is a possibility to stop it before everything becomes irreversible.
Either way, Deobeulli is a precious relationship that Ha-eun doesn't want to lose.
She wanted to prevent what she could prevent and prevent what she could prevent.
Of course, it was still impossible to predict what kind of snowball effect Ha-eun's decision would bring in the future.
Still, it's better than regretting it later.
"Then, I'll talk to Deobeulli."
"Thank you, Jeong-yun unnie. But, can I ask you for one more favor...?"
"Yes? What kind of favor?"
"Um, well, that's, um... Can you find out the contact information for Lee Jun ajusshi's manager and Lee Gun-yeol ajusshi's manager?"
She wanted to do her best in this kind of work as well.
Just like she always had.
