Chapter 135

Chapter 135

The current time was 5:30 a.m. The sun was about to set and the mountains were embodying a soft glow.

Its my first time wearing thisdo I look all right?

This is what my Korean history teacher used to wear

OhThis is comfortable though?

Regardless of how pretty our background was, the clothes we were given werent visually appealing. Still, it was very comfortable, and I understood why older people loved these types of clothing. Besides, I couldnt think of any idol who shot a reality show while wearing daily-wear hanbok.

Is everyone here? Producer Park Soo-Chul approached us just then.

Ah, yes.

We're here

Haha

We made awkward smiles while replying to Park Soo-Chul. At this point, we were already paying all our respects by not cursing at him to his face. Since we were shooting a reality program, we were expecting to film ourselves having fun and enjoying healing moments.

I especially pictured this since I had memories of Only One filming this reality show in my past life. I remembered them staying in an expensive villa and sleeping and playing there. Yet, this house with a straw roof in the deep mountains was far from a nice villa.

Is this a house with a thatching?

Ive never seen a house like this in my life before.

The inside of the house is modern, so you all dont have to worry so much. The walls block the wind well, and the floor is warm.

Of course, that was the minimum they should provide if they were still human. I forcefully tried to calm my boiling anger.

We will attach the mikes onto you first~

After attaching our mikes, we sat at the edge of the houses porch. Perhaps, it was because all five of us were wearing clay-colored, daily-wear hanbok and sitting right next to each other, the staff burst into laughter.

Do we look that funny! You are all too much! Yeon-Hoon appeared peeved by the staffs response, but even his response was met with laughter.

Hahaha!

Then, after some period of laughing, the official shooting began.

Okay, Siren! Do you all know the reason why you came here?

No? We dont know at all

You all came to film the reality program as a special for winning The Showcase 2! Wooo!

Wooow.

The theme of this program is healing! Im sure your minds and bodies must be exhausted after filming The Showcase 2, so we are providing you with this content so that you all can spend a week at this place to recharge and rest!

Hahaha.

How nice

. Healthyeah, that sounds good

You cant order delivery here right?

Haa

Perhaps, it was because all our responses were very poor, but Park Soo Chul glared at us. In the end, we had no choice but to increase our enthusiasm for the show.

Hm! Uh, um, well, now that I look around, the scenery is very nice!

Uh! What is this bug!

Ahhhh!

Yeon-Hoon tried to take the lead and bring up the mood but a bug crawled over the floor and distracted his flow. In the city, that bug wouldve been a hundred percent a cockroach but things were different because we were deep in the mountains.

Isnt that a beetle?

A beetle?

Did a beetle just pass by?

Ive never seen a beetle before in real life.

Now, a beetle passed by us instead of a cockroach.

Haha, yes. Thats proof that the water and air are very clear here. You wont be able to experience something like this in the city, Park Soo-Chul didnt miss this chance to tell us the perks of rural living. This is a very nice place. Try taking a deep breath and exhale. The air is different.

I smell e-cig from somewhere

Hmph.

Woon, with his good sense of smell, caught a waft of e-cig smell while inhaling and producer Park Soo-Chul fake-coughed and turned his head. There would probably be no other reality program with such a disorderly opening like this.

Sigh. "I give up. You all just look around! Park Soo-Chul said exasperatedly in the end and seemed to have given up on shooting the opening scene. Since we were filming a reality program now, there was no need for us to follow the script exactly, so variations could happen like this.

Wow, we just canceled the opening.

What do you want us to make again, producer?

A wooden bench, a bench.

We will?

Yes, here we will give you the blueprint and all the ingredients.

***

I began to feel that the thatched house and the fact that we were deep in the mountains were fine. I also learned the charm of this daily wear hanbok after continuously wearing it. I didnt expect to adjust to living in this place so fast, and we quickly found ourselves eating loads of potatoes, sweet potatoes, and tangerines while lying in the living room.

Ah, the tangerines are sweet.

Are these the last tangerines in season?

Yeah, since its spring now.

If we just have dongchimi[1]and kimchi here, it will be perfect. After finishing two potatoes and sweet potatoes each already, Dong-Jun lamented that we didnt have side dishes to add saltiness to our dishes.

Up to this point, this was all still an enjoyable experience. Though we were taken aback by the house at first, this style of living also had its charm and appeal. Yet, soon, Producer Park Soo-Chul called us from outside.

Can everyone come out here for a bit?

Hm?

What?

We did as we were told. Since it was 6:30 p.m., I supposed that he called us to make dinner, but that wasnt it.

What is thisproducer?

Its a wooden bench.

But Im only seeing pieces of lumber, wooden boards, hammers, and nails?

Those parts are going to be a wooden bench.

Are you all going to make it?

No, you guys are.

There were also food ingredients set nearby.

What do you want us to make again, producer?

A wooden bench, a bench.

We will?

Yes, here we will give you the blueprint and all the ingredients, Park Soo-Chul said and showed us the blueprint. Seeing the map, it didnt appear too hard since all the materials have been prepared for us. We simply needed to attach the wood pieces with a hammer.

All pieces of furniture are DIY these days. This is the same thing. Theres nothing hard about this.

Seriously?

But who couldve guessed that we would be making a wooden bench deep in the mountains while wearing daily-wear hanbok?

If we dont make the table, will we not be able to eat dinner?

Come on, of course not. We called you all here to give you a healing time. Why wont we give food? Here, take these ingredients and cook them."

Then, the bench?

Its fine if you make it and fine if you dont. Its all up to you. But these pieces will stay here the whole timelonging and waiting when it can finally become a real wooden bench

This crazy guy was trying to make us sympathize with these wood pieces now to make us work. I shuddered at his evilness, but Yeon-Hoon fell for his tricks.

Ah, how pitiful, Yeon-Hoon said.

What is? How?" I asked.

Then, we will leave all these materials and ingredients here so you all can do what you want! Park Soo-Chul said and backed away, leaving the goods in the yard.

Lets get the food first, I suggested. Then, we all placed the food into a basket and went to the porch. There were chicken, pork, beef, plenty of leafy greens, potatoes, and sweet potatoes. In addition, there was a variety of sauces, spices, and MSGs. It felt as if we were given a whole kitchen.

With this much, we wont have any problem cooking.

Yeah.

Do-Seung and I discussed this while organizing the food ingredients.

Hm.

Um.

I wonder what dinner should be? Maybe dak-bokkeum-tang[2]? we discussed. But as I thought thisperhaps, it was because of the strange things that Producer Park Soo-Chul said but the wooden pieces on the ground began to really look pitiful to me. My eyes kept lingering around it for some reason.

1. Water Kimchi

2. Braised chicken dish
