Chapter 130

In the inner seat of the café, Ha Eun was sipping her strawberry smoothie with a sheepish expression.

Leaning against her was Jeong Maria, lost in thought.

And in front of the two, for some reason, was Jee Hye-min, snapping her fingers.

‘…What’s going on?’

From the perspective of Lee Ha-eun, who had just entered the café, this scene felt bewildering.

After all, the physical talk about Da Ramji she had with Ha Eun just a few days ago had already faded from her memory.

Of course, Jee Hye-min, who had been heavily tormented by the Dotori-dan, fans of Da Ramji, until two days ago, had never once forgotten the physical talk between Ha Eun and Lee Ha-eun. In other words, she never forgot the physical revelation talk between Diah and Yuna.

-Blink.

“Yena! Come here.”

As soon as she spotted Lee Ha-eun looking awkwardly in the middle of the café, Jee Hye-min ordered her to come sit right next to her.

Thus, Lee Ha-eun had no choice but to sit timidly beside Jee Hye-min.

The moment after that, Jee Hye-min’s last bit of mercy was offered to Lee Ha-eun.

“If you confess now, I’ll let it slide.”

However, the response that came back from Lee Ha-eun was:

“Confess? About what?”

Unfortunately, it was the kind of response that made veins pop on Jee Hye-min’s forehead.

-Whoosh!

“If you had just agreed with Yena, or if you hadn’t said all those things to my chest!!”

“…!…!!”

As a result, Lee Ha-eun also had to endure the strong grip that Ha Eun and Jeong Maria experienced.

Only then did she finally recall the physical talk about Da Ramji from the previous days and hurriedly sought forgiveness, but it was already too late.

And then, the final traveling members, Mile and Ria, who had just arrived at the café.

To Park Mi-so and Kim Eun-hye, this terrible scene was…

“…Let’s go in a bit later.”

“…Okay.”

It was enough to make their steps turn around, heading backward instead of forward.

Mile and Ria had also mentioned something about Da Ramji a few times before.

It was about 10 minutes later that all the members of the Fantasia group could finally gather in one place.

Everyone’s eyes were on Jee Hye-min as she began to explain the overall itinerary.

“First, we’ll go to the hotel to check in, and then we’ll go eat.”

After that, they talked for quite a while.

However, unlike Ha Eun’s previous school trip, this time, each member’s YouTube vlogs were to be filmed.

“Please use nicknames instead of real names as much as possible. The editors will check over and over, but just in case.”

Jee Hye-min’s guidance regarding contingency was relayed to all the members of Fantasia, including Ha Eun.

The note that Ha Eun’s appearance should not be included in the members’ vlogs was soon added.

“Ha Eun, your hair can’t show up either. You know what I mean, right?”

“What about the other members?”

“They don’t need to be as careful as Ha Eun, but don’t film too much, or it will be hard for the editors to edit.”

All scenes that could identify Fantasia’s members would be edited or mosaicked.

In other words, it also meant that no actions identifying them should be done while filming the vlogs.

“So, does Ha Eun stay in Diah mode the entire trip?”

“Oh dear, Ha Eun will lose her voice.”

For Ha Eun, where the difference between her original voice and her broadcasting voice was like night and day, it was as if her real voice was sealed the entire trip.

Still, the option to not participate in this trip to Japan didn’t exist for her.

Even if her voice were to completely go out, she wanted to travel with the Fantasia members.

This group trip to Fantasia was definitely worth it.

Anyways, it was almost time for the flight now.

Walking alongside Jee Hye-min towards the departure area.

-Slop.

“Excuse me.”

“?”

“Is this Lee Ha-eun? Yes! I’m sorry, but could I ask you for a photo?”

A woman who seemed to recognize Ha Eun approached her and requested a photo.

The problem was that she mistook Jee Hye-min, who was right next to Ha Eun, for her manager.

That’s why she asked Jee Hye-min for permission regarding the photo of Ha Eun.

As expected, the other members tried their best to hold back laughter, pretending not to know Ha Eun and her party at this woman’s misunderstanding.

Jee Hye-min replied, “I think you mistaken someone,” and quickly walked away.

In the end, only Ha Eun remained to take a picture with the woman before saying, “Have a good trip,” and heading back to her original party.

As they arrived at the boarding gate, they heard:

“Ah, So Ri should have seen that scene earlier.”

“If the manager saw it, she would have certainly rolled on the floor laughing.”

It was a story related to Fantasia’s general manager, ‘So Ri.’

The members, who imagined what kind of reaction she would have had if she had seen the earlier scene, wore smiles on their faces.

Of course, all of this was meant to tease Jee Hye-min.

What followed was a joke that even Da Ramji, who had ruled the world of internet broadcasting as a president a few years ago, couldn’t compare to the real celebrity, Ha Eun.

These jokes of the Fantasia members only ended when Jee Hye-min’s fingers started snapping again.

By then, Ha Eun, who had just reached behind Jee Hye-min, swallowed the jokes she intended to make about being a manager back down her throat.

After that, they boarded the plane and nothing unusual happened until they finally arrived in Japan.

The first incident that could be called “work” happened after collecting their luggage at the baggage claim.

“Finally, we’ve arrived in Japan!”

The selfie stick of Ria, one of the members who had decided to film a vlog, pointed towards the scenery outside the airport.

This meant that from now on, Ha Eun’s voice tone needed to change to Diah’s voice tone.

The other members around Ria were already chatting excitedly about their expectations for this trip to Japan.

Clearing her throat momentarily, Ha Eun took a few steps forward.

“I’ve been curious about something, do you all ski or snowboard?”

Bringing up the topic of the ski resort, one of the itinerary highlights right next to Ria.

Technically, thanks to her memory from a past life, Ha Eun already knew how the Fantasia members would respond.

However, she thought it could be quite fun to turn this memory into a kind of content.

“I’ll go with skiing. Mile unnie is—”

“Um, I think Mile unnie is on the snowboarding side?”

“What? How did you know?”

She pretended to have psychic abilities for a moment to surprise the Fantasia members.

And quite naturally, in the end, none of the members missed guessing Ha Eun.

So, they spent some time chatting, and soon enough, they arrived at the hotel taxi.

The crew split into two taxis and headed to the hotel they had reserved in advance, unpacking their luggage.

After they came back outside the hotel, Ria’s vlog resumed.

Perhaps because Mile’s vlog had just started filming as well.

“Here’s Mile filming Ria filming Mile!”

“Ah! That was my line!”

When they had arrived at a restaurant near the hotel, a sort of game of tag for filming began.

Including Ha Eun, the other members watched with interest as Ria and Mile competed in filming their vlogs.

Finally, the late lunch and early dinner of beef tongue was set on the table just after that.

Jee Hye-min’s non-official advice to savor the expensive meat followed.

Just then, as Ha Eun was about to pick up a piece of the crispy meat in front of her.

“Diah.”

“?”

“Do you know what beef tongue is?”

Ria, filming the tip of Diah’s chopsticks—of course, Ha Eun’s fingers did not show—asked about beef tongue.

Ha Eun simply replied that it was just beef, but Ria said:

“Beef tongue is a cow’s tongue.”

“Oh, really?”

“Yeah. So, eating beef tongue means you’re kissing a cow!”

With a hint of mischief in Ria’s voice, Ha Eun’s chopsticks stiffened slightly.

It seemed that her body reacted sensitively to the word ‘kiss’ due to the commotion caused by the kissing scene in <The Moonlight Through the Clouds>.

As Ha Eun pondered very seriously whether she should eat this or not, Mile couldn’t hold back her laughter anymore and burst out giggling while patting Ha Eun’s shoulder.

“Just because you eat pork belly doesn’t mean you’re kissing a pig. It’s fine, go ahead and eat.”

“Ah.”

Finally experiencing the deep flavor of beef tongue.

Seeing Ha Eun let out a sigh of relief without knowing, Ria and Mile sensed that they had created a highlight for their Japan travel vlog.

It was only natural to expect when their vlogs were uploaded to YouTube.

That Diah’s roleplay as a pure spirit of one year old would have a positive influence even in this Japan trip.

Perhaps because of this.

After finishing all their meals, when they finally arrived at their first tourist destination, “Asakusa Senso-ji,”

Specifically,

“Wow, how does it look?”

“You look fabulous!”

“If someone didn’t know, they’d think you were a kimono model!”

When Ha Eun had changed in an instant after discovering a kimono rental store by the roadside, sincere compliments poured in to keep the excited voices intact.

However, when Jee Hye-min personally offered to take a photo and asked to pose for the picture,

The cheerful demeanor from a moment ago disappeared, and Ha Eun began to exude the same atmosphere she had during a photoshoot a few weeks ago.

-Snap.

“…Wow.”

“The vibe is amazing, Diah!”

All the Fantasia members, upon seeing the photo of Ha Eun, marveled, saying that she truly was an actress.

The aura was entirely different from the high-pitched voice of Diah heard just a moment ago.
