[TS] Became a Peach Saint – Chapter 308

【The food sent by player Han Ga-eul has arrived.】

【We didn’t expect you to take care of us too.】

As the caster and commentator unwrapped the package, the food inside was revealed.

A hearty bowl of *siraegi-guk* (dried radish greens soup) with side dishes, simmered with rich soybean paste.

The food was far from fancy, the kind you’d find on a countryside dining table.

【It looks really delicious.】

【There’s no way we can’t try this.】

【—Slurp】

The sound of soup being slurped echoed through the commentator’s microphone.

【Wow····】

[What? How good is it?]

[Please, say something!]

Seeing the commentator eating, the caster quickly followed suit and started eating the soup.

【Wow····】

[????]

[Please, just say something!]

[What does it taste like?]

【This···· I can’t help but mix it with rice.】

【I’ve already mixed mine.】

[LOL]

As the fluffy white rice was mixed into the broth, each grain soaked up the soup.

【Mmm··!】

【If you take a bite with kimchi, this is what happiness tastes like.】

The commentator scooped a big spoonful of the rice, topped it with kimchi, and brought it to his mouth.

The crisp sound of kimchi being chewed echoed through the microphone.

【This must be Gyeongsang-do kimchi. The salted seafood flavor is strong.】

【In Gyeongsang-do, the weather is warmer, so kimchi ferments faster. That’s why they salt it heavily with salted seafood.】

【You’re right. The kimchi is really delicious too.】

【Slurp—】

【Slurp—】

[Hey, I’m hungry.]

[Stop it,,, if this continues,,, we’ll,,, all,,, die,,,]

[Why are they suddenly doing a mukbang?]

[Ugh, I’m so hungry.]

[How good is it that they’re acting like this?]

At first, the commentator and caster exchanged a few words, but now they were just silently eating.

【Jin-ho, here’s the stir-fried fish cake and zucchini.】

【Mmm··!】

A bite of the *siraegi-guk* rice mixed with kimchi.

A bite of the chewy stir-fried fish cake, seasoned with oligodang and chili powder.

And a bite of the braised potatoes, finished with sesame seeds.

Though the side dishes were nothing special, the two were eating like there was no tomorrow.

The problem was that all of this was being broadcasted live without any filters.

[The side dishes look amazing.]

[For real, I’d finish two bowls with that.]

[The room master’s food is so good.]

[I’m seriously jealous.]

【Slurp—】

【Senior, the braised potatoes are salty and fluffy. So good.】

【Mmm!】

[Wow.]

[What is this LOL.]

[I’m eating chicken right now, but why does it taste so bland?]

[LOL.]

[I want home-cooked food.]

The two, who had been busily moving their spoons, finished their bowls.

【Whew!】

【Ah~ I’m so full. That was so good.】

[Ahjussi…]

What’s the vibe lololol]

[Looks like it was really delicious]

[That’s right, thanks to Han Ga-eul, we ate really well.]

[Han Ga-eul must have big hands, the soup was extra and the rice was piled high. Thanks to her, my stomach is as big as Namsan Mountain.]

[Haha, same here.]

[It was truly a happy meal.]

***

Lunchtime wasn’t over yet, but most people had already finished eating and were gathered here and there chatting.

Many think the fun of A-Che University comes from sports, but what fans really want is the everyday life of their favorite celebrities.

The host and cameraman know this, so they’re going around interviewing the celebrities who are hanging out in groups.

“I joined in a bit of a hurry.”

“Ah, so Lim Yoo-joon’s fans couldn’t make it.”

“Yes, unfortunately, that’s what happened.”

Lim Yoo-joon’s hardcore fans would have been devastated, but he himself didn’t seem to care much, despite saying it was unfortunate.

“So, how did you handle the meal? You usually eat the food meant for the fans together.”

“Han Ga-eul shared hers. It was really delicious.”

“I see. Do you happen to know where Han Ga-eul is?”

The host smoothly wraps up the interview with Lim Yoo-joon and asks about the next destination.

“I saw her heading towards the tent over there.”

***

The K-entertainment business spreading worldwide.

The signature of the Korean entertainment industry, Signature Entertainment. Its hidden story is that both the Chinese Dream and the American Dream were completely shattered.

How did it come to this?

To tap into the Chinese market, they included a Chinese member in every group, but sudden international conflicts led to failure.

They dreamed of the American Dream but couldn’t adapt to a completely different system from the domestic market, leading to a major defeat.

Excluding that, they had everything, but the Chinese Dream and the American Dream were too big to be dismissed as just that.

Today, as usual, the Signature CEO was troubled by these issues when a knock was heard.

Knock knock.

“CEO, it’s Kim Jang-ik.”

“Come in.”

Kim Jang-ik, the head of the casting team, enters the CEO’s office.

Even after becoming a team leader, Kim Jang-ik still runs around a lot, which is why the CEO trusts him quite a bit.

His biggest achievement was recruiting Lim Yoo-joon. That alone was enough to trust his judgment.

“How did it go?”

“It didn’t go well.”

“Didn’t go well? Why?”

The Signature CEO was puzzled, as he thought it would go smoothly.

The target wasn’t an ordinary person but someone already in the broadcasting industry.

Having already exposed his face, there was no reason for him to reject the celebrity lifestyle.

Moreover, the position of the team leader at Signature Enter Casting Team was by no means a lowly one.

“I haven’t even met them.”

“You said you went in with Yoo-joon.”

Since there was hardly anything in the country that couldn’t be sold under Lim Yoo-joon’s name, the thoughts of the CEO and the team leader were quite similar.

“Mr. Lim Yoo-joon also said it wouldn’t work.”

Upon hearing the team leader’s words, the CEO took out a cigarette and lit it.

─Click, click.

“Hoo─ I heard you got scolded last time too.”

“That’s correct.”

“Hmm····.”

The CEO of Signature is by no means a one-dimensional person who thinks everything can be solved under the name of Enter.

A cunning old fox skilled in human relations and rhetoric. That was the CEO of Signature.

If you’ve approached under the name of Signature and failed twice, it’s right to give up.

The CEO was also thinking the same.

That would be the case in a normal situation.

“I’ve been searching all this time, but there’s surprisingly little information.”

“That’s enough.”

“But····.”

The CEO, who was puffing on his cigarette, waved his hand to stop the team leader.

“Team Leader Kim, you’ve been persistent since the past. It’s time to stop now. We’ve given enough time.”

From a corporate standpoint, the ratio of results to the time invested is more important than anything.

Therefore, from the CEO’s perspective, what the team leader was doing was nothing but a waste of time.

“You saw it too, CEO. At that level, just breathing is a jackpot.”

“That’s true.”

It wasn’t just a glance; he saw it dozens of times a day.

Just a song uploaded to Bitube with only humming, no lyrics or accompaniment.

It was a song where a person who looked like a sweet dessert hummed beautifully with a lovely voice.

“CEO, this is a talent we must bring to our side.”

A view count that soared past ten million in less than a few months.

But even that song was uploaded on someone else’s account, not their own.

The more you look, the more indifferent they seem.

The weight of the title ‘CEO’ was too heavy to be hung up on just one such person.

“Hmm····.”

The team leader took out his mobile phone, fiddled with it, and then showed it to the CEO.

“I recorded her singing during lunchtime.”

A song flowed from the team leader’s phone, proving it wasn’t just a one-time sparkle.

♬♩♪

“Huh····.”

“Amazing, right?”

The CEO nodded his head unknowingly.

Watching her sing happily with a battered brass spoon in hand made him feel good too.

“We must get her. What is she doing now?”

“She left around the start of lunchtime and came back right away, so she’s probably still resting.”

The team leader fiddled with his phone again and turned on the live broadcast of Achae University.

『Han Ga-eul is said to be over there where the temporary tent is set up』

On the phone screen, walking towards…

The host’s figure is reflected.

“So, you couldn’t even inform us about the increased deposit?”

“Yes. Unfortunately…”

“You can’t approach someone like this with common sense. Their way of thinking is completely different from ours.”

“That seems to be the case.”

“Hello, Han Ga-eul… Ms.”

The gazes of the two conversing turn towards the mobile phone.

Smoke rising in puffs.

The place the host entered was a temporary smoking area.

“Yes, hello.”

“Uh, uh…”

“Huh? Want to light one up?”

“Uh… no. I didn’t know it was a place like this.”

“Yep.”

“Yep. I’ll be going now.”

“Take care.”

[Crazy womanㅠㅠㅠ]

[Ahㅋㅋ debut messed upㅋㅋㅋ]

[The room master is like this]

[What kind of celebrity is thisㅋㅋㅋ]

A hurried figure emerges from the raccoon hole, and a brief silence falls in the representative’s office.

“Representative, are we really going to catch them no matter what?”

“Hmm… Isn’t this something the Broadcasting Standards Commission is poking at?”

The team leader couldn’t ignore the representative’s effort to change the subject.

“The Broadcasting Standards Commission only advises caution regarding scenes of drinking and smoking, but there are no specific sanctions.”

“But there’s still social perception. Doesn’t this person have any pretense?”

“That’s right… I want to ask that too.”

“But who are these people…?”

“They’re said to be people who do life acting.”

“Hmm…”

“Ma’am, there’s a fire here.”

“Ah, thank you.”

The host outside, hearing the voice leaking from the tent, hurriedly moves away.

“Are they really actors?”

“……”

“Before doing anything else, let’s figure this out first.”

“…Me?”
