“I feel like slapping someone.”
“What, what did you say?”
Hearing my words, the staff’s temper flared up intensely.
“I said I feel like slapping someone.”
[⚔️Kyaaaaaah!]
[⚔️Oh, please!]
[⚔️The room master is causing trouble again, emergency!!!!]
The staff, seemingly angry, pushed me even harder with a huff.
“Kyaaah!”
As my body fell and my butt hit the ground, the shock hit me.
“Ouch.”
“Ga-eul! Are you okay? What happened?”
[⚔️????]
[⚔️What’s with the ‘Kyaaah’?]
[⚔️I’ve never heard that sound before in the room master’s broadcast.]
“Hey! You can’t just push people like that!”
“Ah, no. I didn’t push that hard…”
As my sister, who was beside me, started scolding the staff, the flustered staff began to fumble, not knowing what to do.
“Oh my goodness!! Everyone, look here. The broadcasting station is hitting people!”
“No, no, that’s not it!”
[⚔️LOLOLOL]
[⚔️Crazy LOLOLOL]
Ding!
〈Song of the Storm〉
“Oh my, I’m dying──!!!♬“
─Kwa-gagak!!
The sound that came out of my mouth tore through the air with a loud noise and shot straight up into the sky.
The pedestrians around, hearing the sound, all covered their ears.
[⚔️Wow, what’s with that crazy sound?]
[⚔️LOL, my phone speaker got ripped again]
[⚔️Singing like a song is so funny LOLOLOL Ga-eul’s requiem sound]
[⚔️Did the room master eat a train whistle LOLOLOL]
Thanks to the tightly packed buildings, the voice couldn’t escape and seemed even louder.
At least the windows didn’t break, thank goodness.
“Ga-eul, are you hurt anywhere? Get up slowly.”
Seeing me, who always acted tough, show a weak side, my sister seemed flustered too.
As I slowly got up with my sister’s help, people rushed out of the shop.
“What’s going on here?”
The first person to show his face was a man with a thick beard and a hat.
Two more people followed, both familiar faces from my memory.
“Oh my, young lady!”
There it is again, ‘young lady.’ It seems like the whole world is trying to turn me into a young lady.
Just as I was getting dizzy from all the ‘young lady’ calls, the lobster tail butter grill shop owner pushed through the crowd and approached me first.
“Shop owner, hello!”
“No, this isn’t the time for hello, did you fall? Are you hurt anywhere?”
At my sudden cheerful greeting, the shop owner’s worried face mixed with a bit of confusion.
Seeing that, I pointed my finger into the air.
“I came to eat lobster tail butter grill, but that person pushed me because they were filming.”
The murmuring crowd. The bearded man. The shop owner who approached me first. All eyes turned to the staff who had pushed me.
“No, no, that’s not it.”
With so many eyes on him, the flustered staff waved his hands.
“Did you really push her?”
“Huh?”
“I said, did you really push her?!”
The man with the thick beard and hat suddenly started interrogating the staff, raising his voice.
[⚔️What, is that Director Kang? Are they filming a food tour?]
[⚔️First time seeing them get angry, is this for real?]
“Ah, no… That person kept pacing around…”
“Did you push them or not?!”
“…Yes. Sob… Sob…”
Under the relentless questioning of the hat guy, he finally bowed his head and started squeezing out tears.
“Whoa, are the tears of a b*tch a weapon? What’s that about?”
[⚔️That’s not it, you crazy b*tch]
[⚔️LOLOLOLOLOL]
Eonni must have heard the viewers whispering quietly, as she looked utterly baffled.
“Ga-eul, are you okay?”
“I’d be fine even if I fell off the roof of our house.”
Eonni’s expression shifted from baffled to worried. Her gaze lingered on my head, probably wondering if I hit it when I fell.
After getting scolded by Denis for lying at the boat party, I’ve been trying to always tell the truth, but no one believes me.
“Young lady, let’s go to the hospital.”
Thinking I was acting like nothing happened, the lobster shop owner gestured for me to hurry up.
Another staff member nearby saw this and quickly approached.
“Shop owner, you need to film!”
“What kind of filming? Are you out of your mind?”
The poor staff who tried to stop the shop owner from leaving ended up getting cursed at.
Listening to the lobster shop owner, it seemed like he rushed out after hearing my voice during the broadcast filming.
The shop owner’s face turned red, and his Adam’s apple bobbed as if something was about to burst out.
“These damn mutts. This young lady is my benefactor, you bastards! Get lost!”
“But, you still have to film…”
The staff who tried to stop him until the end took a step back after seeing the shop owner’s explosive face.
[⚔️This ahjussi’s temper is no joke LOL]
[⚔️He always smiled so nicely, saying he’d grill deliciously every autumn, but turns out he’s got a hidden fiery side LOL]
Leaving the fuming lobster shop owner behind, a man with a dark beard approached me.
“I’m Kang Man-seung, the main PD leading the filming team here. I’m sorry, it’s my fault.”
“Yeah, it’s fine.”
[⚔️Ga-eul’s nice button LOL]
[⚔️The kid’s so nice LOL]
The main PD seemed surprised by my immediate response, as if he didn’t expect it.
“Let me apologize again. I’m sorry.”
The man bowed his head nearly 90 degrees.
He seemed to be past middle age, heading toward the sunset years, with gray hairs peeking through his dark hair.
“Ah, it’s fine. People make mistakes, right?”
As soon as I finished speaking, he finally raised his head.
Looking at him closely, he had a face that clearly showed he’d been through a lot.
Or maybe he was still going through it.
“PD-nim, what’s going on? I heard a really loud noise.”
A young man pushed through the crowd roughly, followed by a woman who looked strangely familiar.
[⚔️What, is that Bom Baram?]
[⚔️Didn’t she get into trouble with the room master and fall from grace?]
[⚔️Guess she spent some money at the agency, seeing her on the food tour]
[⚔️What, didn’t we definitely send her off? Is she a cockroach?]
“We won’t proceed with this recording. I’ll inform Bom Baram’s agency, so please go back with your manager.”
“Yes!? No, where would something like that exist? I cleared my whole schedule for this, you know!”
Hearing the name the PD called out reminded me of something.
There was this crazy woman who, back when I went to watch busking, deliberately messed with me by handing me the mic during a high note with a sly smile.
“Wait, isn’t that the crazy chick who used to mess around with her singing?”
Bom Baram’s eyes widened as if she recognized me.
“You, you!”
“Yeah, it’s me, you jerk. Wanna fight?”
[⚔️Kyaaaah!]
[⚔️She charges again!]
[⚔️LOL chicken order complete]
She glared at me with sharp eyes, clearly holding a grudge.
Seeing how bold she was, I felt like pulling her hair out.
“Do you two know each other?”
I nodded at the PD’s question.
“Lim, Lim… what was it? Yoojin?”
“Are you talking about Lim Yoo-joon?”
“Ah! Right, Lim Yoo-joon. She really liked that guy. She got so jealous over him that she almost got slapped by me.”
“What are you talking about!”
She yelled back at me after hearing what I said.
Even the corn she was munching on looked annoyingly yellow.
While I was busy watching Bom Baram’s corn, the PD looked at me, nodded, and muttered something like, “That makes sense.”
“PD-nim, just keep filming.”
“No, I think it’s rude to continue without apologizing more.”
“It’s fine. Lobster Shop Owner, you’re okay with it, right? If the shop does well, that’s good for you.”
I winked awkwardly at the Lobster Shop Owner next to me, and he gave me a cheerful smile.
“PD-nim, I’ll ask you too.”
The PD finally gave a small nod after seeing the Lobster Shop Owner bow his head.
“Then let’s quickly resume.”
“Thank you. Do I need to explain anything again?”
“You’ve already explained the food part, so we’ll just edit that. Let’s redo the cooking part.”
Everyone pretended not to notice Bom Baram, who looked like she was about to explode with anger.
“Can my sister and I watch from the back?”
“Of course.”
As we entered the shop first, Bom Baram followed behind, grumbling.
“In-young.”
“Yes, Eonni!”
When Bom Baram called out while sitting cross-legged on a chair, someone sniffled and approached.
The staff member who had been whining earlier forced a bright smile as she came over.
The staff put on an apron, then immediately started pulling out makeup.
Now that I think about it, she wasn’t a broadcasting staff member but probably Bom Baram’s makeup artist.
“Birds of a feather flock together.”
[⚔️LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL]
[⚔️Oh my god, Bangjang, please stop talking so loud]
Bom Baram glared at me after hearing my voice, which was impossible to miss.
“Hey, are you showing off your eyeballs because you want them plucked? Did you forget to put foundation on them? Stop smearing that stuff on.”
“Tch.”
The PD, who had been looking serious, finally burst out laughing.
Seeing that, Bom Baram started trembling like she was about to have a fit.
“Ahem. Let’s begin. Everyone, get ready.”
At the PD’s words, what looked like an assistant staff brought over a square-shaped object and opened it like a Zippo lighter, then slammed it shut.
─Snap!
That’s the thing I often see on TV.
Looks like a clapperboard.
As soon as the assistant staff clapped the slate, the shop owner’s fiery show began.
The butter sizzled as it touched the fire, releasing a delicious aroma, and soon, the finished dish was placed in front of Bom Baram.
“Wow, the butter smell is amazing.”
“Haha, I used good butter.”
“It’s truly a market dish infused with Korean sentiment. The parsley sprinkled on top is so pretty, and the quality is top-notch.”
Still, Bom Baram’s broadcasting experience didn’t go to waste. She wiped away her earlier displeasure and started to calmly talk about the food.
“Eonni, since when did lobster get infused with Korean sentiment? Was our country’s name Canada or something?”
“Tch.”
I thought I spoke softly, but the PD must have heard me. Once the laughter started, it didn’t stop.
The PD, trying to suppress his laughter, raised his hand.
“I’ll continue the broadcast.”
I guess this can be edited out later.
“Shop owner, my mouth is small. Could you cut it a bit smaller?”
At Bom Baram’s request, the shop owner nodded, took out a fan-shaped knife, and cut it even smaller before handing it back to her.
A quick glance revealed it was perfectly sliced.
Bom Baram poked at the lobster with a thin skewer, picked up a tiny piece of meat, and carefully brought it to her mouth.
Watching her, it seemed like she was worried her makeup would smudge.
It’s impressive how she managed to pick up such a small piece with that tiny, pointy skewer.
“Mmm, it’s so delicious.”
“Stop exaggerating. You’re eating something as small as an ant’s butt, and you call it delicious?”
[⚔️LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL]
[⚔️Ah, Han Ga-eul, you’re something else.]
