[DEB ON AIR 3 | Best Friend Ep.3]

7 min read1,639 words

[Uwa: Anyway, my name is Jiua, and I run a small hotel business.]

[Chiyo: Oh...? A business?]

[Naeun: Wow~]

Seoyoon, in particular, flinched at the name, saying it sounded like a character name she had heard somewhere before.

[Dohee: Hotel manager? Jiji manager? Puhahahaha!]

[Seoyoon: Vain...?]

─Ah, seriously, what’s gotten into Lee Dohee today? LOL

─Vayne LOL

─Kim Seoyoon, stop playing games LOL

─Seoyoon’s a pure-blooded top laner, after all LOL A hater of top Vayne

Meanwhile, No. 2 was busy trying her hardest to find faults here and there.

No. 2 began firing off questions.

[Chiyo: There’s been a lot of talk about bedbugs lately. Is the hygiene okay?]

[Uwa: It’s very clean. I even share my room with a friend normally. We’re both quite satisfied.]

[Chiyo: ... (flinches)]

Anyway, all that remained for Woman No. 3 was to receive her scores.

[Uwa: Anyway, if you come to our hotel, we can welcome you for free anytime. So please give me your scores.]

The members began their evaluations in their own ways.

[Dohee: I made an acrostic poem with “Uwa.”]

[Us]

[Are a beautiful skylark—10 points♡]

[Dohee: I have a feeling you’re going to become my skylark.]

[Uwa: Ah...! (embarrassed)]

No. 1 and No. 3 were exchanging affection, throwing finger hearts at each other with unusual enthusiasm.

─Right LOL This was a dating show, wasn’t it? LOL

─Ah, seriously, why does it never feel normal when these girls fool around like this? LOL

─I really can’t get used to Dohee acting like that LOL

As if burning with rivalry toward No. 1, No. 2 Chiyo also made a big heart with her arms and continued showering Woman No. 3 with praise.

[Chiyo: Seeing how you play along with jokes so often, you must have an incredibly good personality. 10 points! I’ll give you 10 points!]

And so, just as before, the lowest score.

Came from Woman No. 5. It was Naeun’s evaluation.

[Naeun: One point.]

[Uwa: Why?]

[Naeun: Because you look familiar.]

[Uwa: What does...?]

─Only Naeun gave her one point LOL

─Naeun’s been criticizing everyone today, hasn’t she? As expected of the leader

The reason was revealed in the interview.

[Q.

They were going on about hotels and whatnot... People whose own rooms aren’t even that clean...]

─LOL Hey, Kim Naeun, don’t expose them

─Ah, Naeun is such a hardcore T LOL

* * *

[Chiyo: (can’t see) Please come up, No. 4!]

[Seoyoon: (annoyed) It’s not like there’s that much of a difference between you and me, you know?]

[Chiyo: Oh, I think there’s about a handspan’s difference between us.]

[She is 165 centimeters tall, the shortest among the participants]

─A group where 165 centimeters is the shortest height ㄷㄷ

─LOL They’re all really tall

Kim Seoyoon ignored the members who kept objecting.

She tossed her long hair back and began greeting everyone brightly.

[Seoyoon (21): Yes, hello. (brightly) I’m from very hot USA California.]

Kim Seoyoon’s concept today was.

A hot influencer from California.

─That whole “born in America” thing again since their last self-produced content LOL

─What’s her name this time?

The members quickly played along, as befitted a variety show.

They dramatically put on an extremely heated response.

[Naeun: Wow~ You came from California~?]

[Uwa: Is that where Hollywood is?]

[Seoyoon: That’s right. ME? Hollywood Star~]

[Chiyo: (disappointed) I—I should’ve done that one...!]

[Naeun: So what’s your name?]

Just as they had done earlier during No. 3 Uwa’s turn.

Would they try to infer her name and make snide remarks about it?

Kim Seoyoon answered quickly.

[No. 4 (Seoyoon): I’m Seolleim. Since everyone says they get... well~ excited when they see me, just like my name? Heh.]

Despite the concept, Seoyoon covered her mouth and giggled foolishly, looking quite cute.

[Woman No. 4 instantly became the popular girl who drew everyone’s attention]

Thanks to that, the members’ reactions weren’t entirely bad.

Just then, Dohee, who had been quiet, suddenly raised her hand.

[Dohee: Ms. Laim, may I ask you something?]

[Seoyoon: Go ahead~]

[Dohee: I was wondering if that was perhaps an English name.]

[No. 4 (Ms. Laim): Of course. Call me Laim Seol, okay?]

[Dohee: Ah...]

But instead of supporting that answer, a Dumb and Dumber-style BGM began to play.

[Dohee: That’s fascinating.]

[Ms. Laim: What is?]

The camera captured a close-up of Dohee as she trailed off.

[Dohee: You know.]

[Ms. Laim: What?]

[Dohee: “Lame” means pathetic in English... Ah, are you perhaps saying you’re pathetic?]

Against the backdrop of the members’ and production crew’s laughter.

Seoyoon’s face was dramatically zoomed in on.

[Dohee: Or it can mean a loser or a hick...]

─Ah, I was wondering why Lee Dohee was being so quiet during Seoyoon’s turn LOL

─Laim means that in English? LOL

─Dohee’s teasing is precious...

─Pathetic Kim Seoyoon LOL

[Dohee: You know, there’s also the term “lame duck.”]

[No. 4 (Ms. Laim, Pathetic, Kim Seoyoon): ......]

And over that scene, an interview voice was inserted.

[Q.

No. 1: I kind of liked Woman No. 4. She’s older than me, but how should I put it? She’s cute.

No. 5: No. 4 seems especially like an adorable younger sister.]

─Ah, Lee Dohee’s Rahee energy is really at its peak today LOL I laughed so hard

─Ms. Laim, my ass LOL

─As expected, Lee Dohee is Kim Seoyoon’s natural counter LOL

─As expected of best friends LOL

Taken by Woman No. 4’s cute charm, every participant began asking her questions.

[Chiyo: Oh, the more I look at you, the more you resemble one.]

[Uwa: Have you ever been told you look like a puppy?]

[Dohee: Could you bark once for us?]

[Naeun: No. 4, paw!]

[Seoyoon: ...Woof! (adorable)]

However, the reaction afterward wasn’t exactly favorable.

[Dohee: Come on, what was that...]

[Chiyo: Wofwofwofwofwof! Grrrrr!]

[Dohee: That’s more like it.]

─Are you a Chihuahua? LOL

─As expected of a beagle, our barking dog is going off LOL

─Please, who the hell registered “Chihuahua” in her wiki nickname section?

─Ah, why is this self-produced content more entertaining than their variety show?

Even so, No. 4 seemed to be receiving fairly generous scores, just like everyone before her.

[Dohee: I’ll give you 10 points.]

[Naeun: Why?]

[Dohee: Because I feel kind of bad.]

No. 2 must have thought highly of her indeed, because she wrote a score exceeding the maximum on her sketchbook and held it up.

[Chiyo: I’ll give you 13 points.]

[Seoyoon: Oh my...! (delighted)]

[Dohee: The maximum score is 10 points. Do you still not know that?]

[Seoyoon: Yes, unfortunately... I think you can just give me 10 points.]

But at Dohee’s intervention.

[Chiyo: Ah, then I’ll just... put a dot here...]

Unfortunately, Chiyo revised the sketchbook.

[1.3 points]

* * *

Naeun, the only introvert in Debonair.

Decided to boldly give variety-show antics a try.

[Naeun: I’m an exorcist.]

The members huddled together and began whispering.

[Seoyoon: All sorts of jobs are coming up today.]

[Uwa: Exactly.]

[Dohee: Isn’t this concept a little too much?]

[Uwa: Exactly.]

[Chiyo: Zero points.]

As if they were evaluating Naeun’s variety-show skills.

Still, Naeun had made up her mind today.

[Naeun: Huh? What did you say? Do you want me to show you an exorcism right now?]

─Do you want me to put a talisman on you? LOL

─LOL Ah, seriously, this editor

─I can see Naeun trying so hard, and this old lady is crying ㅠㅠ

[Seoyoon: Wow... She said she was an exorcist, but look how sharp her ears are.]

[Uwa: Exactly.]

[Chiyo: How could I say anything when I’m scared?]

But when Naeun continued speaking even more shamelessly and calmly, Dohee waved her hands frantically.

[Dohee: So, does that make you any money?]

[Naeun: (making a circle with her fingers) This is no joke.]

[Seoyoon: 10 points! 10 points!]

─LOL Why are they all so cute?

But the nonsensical questions evaluating their variety-show skills continued.

[Dohee: What kind of car do you drive?]

[Seoyoon: The southbound train on the rainy Honam Line~?]

[Uwa: Cha Cha Cha, all together?]

[Chiyo: Heave-hooo~]

─Their energy is seriously getting crazier and crazier LOL

─Is this really a girl group? LOL

─Why are all their answers like this? LOL

Naeun gradually began to crumble.

[Naeun: Jasmine tea...?]

[Dohee: Tsk, if you’d said something folksy like barley tea, I would’ve given you a higher score.]

[Seoyoon: Exactly.]

[Chiyo: For real.]

[Uwa: Everyone, I think it would be best to stop now.]

[Q.

No. 5: When we get back to the dorm... there’s no unnie, no leader today.]

─LOL Naeun’s expression is killing me

─Please upload the behind-the-scenes from the dorm that day!!!

─Ah, Naeun’s variety-show skills are at their peak too LOL

[......]

While Uwa tried to stop them from the side.

Naeun sighed and asked them to just give her a score.

[Dohee: (save me) 10 points. As expected, fragrant jasmine tea is better than folksy barley tea.]

─Oh, come on LOL

─She’s changed her tune more than once or twice LOL

But Chiyo had a stubborn streak of her own.

[Chiyo: This time, I’ll give you 14 points! Breaking the maximum score!]

[Seoyoon: I told you the maximum score is 10.]

[Chiyo: Oh, right...!]

─What do you mean, “oh, right”? LOL You did it on purpose again

─The one who keeps acting up until the very end is always the one who gets stuck with the whole punishment, yeah

[Dohee: You’re going to put a dot in there again and give her 1.4 points, aren’t you?]

[Chiyo: In that case... I’ll put a dot right here...]

Naeun had expected something like this by now, so she smiled as brightly as she could and said,

[Naeun: Still, 1.4 points is higher than No. 4’s score, haha. (positive, positive)]

[Seoyoon: Waa~ I’m jealous~ (really!)]

But when Chiyo lifted the sketchbook.

Naeun let out a heartfelt sigh.
