Chapter 275 Side Story 06. Always the Same (3)

“Ta-da!”

“Huh?”

I was startled by the unexpected faces that came out of the strawberry house.

“Wow! Why is Swift here?!”

I asked after Seon-woo, who was excited to see him.

“Don’t you have a schedule this afternoon?”

I doubted my memory and asked, and Hwijin answered with a sheepish expression.

“Didn’t you read the details? You could have noticed if you paid more attention.”

At Hwijin’s random remark, I searched my memory and exclaimed, “Ah!”

[ We’re going to meet you right now (Rural visit program) – Return on the same day]

“Oh...!”

He looked like he had written it in words, and I added briefly.

“No wonder. There was no clear information about the deposit date or the amount for the event, so I was going to say something.”

“Wow, you’re so picky.”

“It’s not picky, it’s obvious.”

Yu-geon joined in jokingly from the side, but I didn’t budge.

“Today, we’re here for support shooting. We have to harvest this whole section today, so we better hurry, right?”

Unlike the mudflat, we were supposed to capture only elegant and pretty scenes here. When did they decide to pick the whole section? I couldn’t stop my hands as I grumbled. �

I felt more compelled to hurry up when I saw Naru, who was just posing in front of the camera instead of doing what he was told.

“Aww, how can you be so cute~.”

I heard the PD’s flattering compliment with one ear, and felt a bit resentful inside. He had been forcing us to do hard work since yesterday, but he was so nice to him.

It was natural for a twenty-year-old kid to be praised for his cuteness.

Naru himself looked so young that even people in their thirties or late twenties would think he was just a kid.

He took pictures for a long time as if he was doing a photoshoot, and then the spotlight finally moved to the other members.

“Seon-woo, can you stand there and pose for a moment?”

The PD called Seon-woo, who was moving around with a basket of strawberries, and he nodded his head eagerly, not knowing what to do.

‘Our maknae is cuter.’

Seon-woo probably didn’t have any thoughts, but I shook my head with a strong conviction that Naru thought he was cuter.

“What are you doing, we’re short of hands and it’s a mess.”

Yu-geon came over and spoke to me as I was distracted by Naru and Seon-woo.

“Why are you picking a fight?”

I answered as I moved my hands diligently, and Yu-geon laughed with a deflated sound.

“I’m not picking a fight. I’m just urging you for efficiency.”

“Same thing.”

This kid had been thinking of me too closely since he borrowed my laptop. He was helpful, but he was also arrogant.

His attitude matched him very well, but it was annoying.

‘I don’t like this type of person anyway.’

I basically gave more points to people who worked hard and were sincere, even if they weren’t exceptionally talented.

I grumbled and diligently filled the basket with strawberries, and the fresh fruit smell tickled my nose.

Then the farm owner came into the greenhouse and talked to the PD.

“Do you have any friends who can drive and go to the market for me? I think I have something to pick up at Jongmyo Shrine...”

“Oh.”

Among the members, the only ones who were good at driving were me and Hwijin.

“Can I go alone and get it?”

The main PD asked for confirmation, and the old man nodded vaguely.

“Well, yeah. You can go by yourself, but...”

After a long discussion, it was decided that I would drive and Hwijin would film me as if he was making a vlog.

Without any other filming staff, we got into the car with a microphone and a selfie stick, and the dusty smell of the countryside rose up.

“We’re going to Jongmyo Shrine first to get some fertilizer, and then stop by the market to buy some lunch, okay?”

I checked the mini mission card that the main PD gave me and started the car towards the city, and Hwijin captured me and the scenery alternately on the screen.

‘Come on, the viewers are not watching this for the pretty scenery, why don’t you just take a selfie?’

I wanted to point out his slightly misguided angle, but I kept my mouth shut.

He looked so cute with his serious expression as he filmed diligently. Not like a thirty-year-old.

And that warm feeling was shattered soon after.

“Wow, I’ve never seen a celebrity before!”

“It’s Hwijin, awesome.”

“Can you please sign one more for me?”

“Hey, boy, sign this one too~.”

“Who is he? Is he famous?”

“Oh, come on, he’s very famous. He’s on TV all the time.”

Within 20 minutes, I was surrounded by a crowd of people and sighed as I signed the papers that were pushed at me from all sides.

“I told you to go quickly before people noticed us...”

I complained in a very low voice that only Hwijin could hear, and he laughed out loud.

“But they recognized you in this countryside, you should be sorry and grateful.”

Sorry and grateful, my ass. This wasn’t a rural market where only old people came and went, it was a young enough market with plenty of tourists and twenty-somethings. It would be strange if they didn’t recognize him.

There was no way to escape now that I had complained, so I obediently repeated the signatures.

“Boys, try this too! Can I take a picture with you?”

“No, no, it’s okay!”

I knew why they were pushing all kinds of snacks at me, from dried fish to pig’s feet to mung bean pancakes.

They wanted to hang a photo of me with the words “The house that Floss Hwijin and Offbeat Cheon Ise loved!” in the corner of the store.

I didn’t want to give them my name, since it wasn’t Swift Hwijin or Climax Cheon Ise that they would put on the sign.

“Thank you, I’ll enjoy it!”

I was furious as I watched Hwijin calmly eat whatever they gave him.

“Hey, stop eating already.”

“Wow. I’ve never heard you say that before, Ise.”

“Really?”

“Yeah, you usually encourage me to eat more.”

“That’s different.”

I grumbled as I signed until my wrist hurt, and then we got back in the car. The fried snacks and tteokbokki we bought earlier had cooled down a bit.
