Chapter 128
Before the daily part-time job filming began in earnest, we had to receive prior training.
The cinema team was scheduled to meet with Superbox part-timers and receive training on what tasks they would be responsible for.
We were planning to meet with people working at a large mart and get a detailed explanation about the tasting corner.
"I was afraid that this time would come...."
"Hyung-bin, are you that scared?"
"You should say that to the kid next to you, looking so worn out and crying."
"Isn't that what Yubin does sometimes?"
"When did I ever do that!"
The four people leaving for the movie theater had different vibes.
Chae Eun-gyu and Heo Yu-bin didn't seem to have any thoughts.
Song Hyung-bin, who had heard about the notoriety of movie theater part-time jobs from a friend, had a worried expression on his face.
And Kang Si-yoon was quickly searching for something.
"Hmm...."
"Siyoon, what are you looking at? "
"Oh, it's nothing. I was a little worried about what Hyung-bin Hyung said, so I was looking for reviews of part-time jobs."
When Kang Si-yoon held up his cell phone and showed it to them, Chae Eun-gyu and Heo Yu-bin looked at the screen intently.
"Pros: You can work happily while getting to know other part-timers. Cons: You can experience the pain of breaking your back while cleaning the movie theater...?"
"Oh, this is what I was talking about! "
At the mention of cleaning the movie theater, Song Hyung-bin immediately responded loudly.
"Everything else is fine, but he said that cleaning the movie theater after the movie was over was the hardest part."
"Now that I think about it, the size of a movie theater with over 400 seats is really big."
"Just imagine if we cleaned up every single place, Hyung. From the dropped popcorn to the drinks that were left behind, "
"... It might be a little difficult."
Meanwhile, we were relatively peaceful.
Even though they say it's peaceful, in reality, it's just Yoo Minha talking excitedly.
"Should I practice my comment in advance? Oh, and will they tell me how to say it when I go today?"
"It can vary greatly depending on what kind of product you're selling, so I think it would be better to go and learn today."
"I guess so? What kind of product would you like, Karis hyung-nim?"
"Well, actually, I don't know much about the tasting corner."
I surrounded myself appropriately.
It would be weird for an idol from Estonia to know so much about Korea's food culture.
Then, Yoo Minha began to freely express his tastes.
"When you go to places like the mart, there are people who speak very loudly. I remember that the people working in the seafood department were the loudest! I'm confident in my vocalization, so I can speak loudly, but I think it would be a little boring to sell seafood."
"I see."
"Yes! That's why I thought it would be fun to sell frozen foods and sausages, which are popular with young children!"
Listening to Yoo Min-ha's chattering, I guessed what the production team was thinking.
Even if they educate us in advance, foods that are too difficult will not be assigned.
And since we also need to consider the broadcast length and entertainment, products that don't create anything and just talk to people are likely to be excluded.
'I hope whatever comes is okay.'
I glanced at Ji Yoon-chul, who was maintaining his silence in solitude, unlike the lively Yoo Min-ha.
But recently, when I was with Ji Yoon-chul, he kept talking.
Now, he has reverted to the poker face expression he had during the
'Is it because Yoo Min-ha is here? '
Ji Yoon-chul still doesn't talk freely with other members except for me.
It's true that they didn't have enough time to get close, but judging by the fact that the other guys get along well with each other, it seems that Ji Yoon-chul hasn't opened his heart yet.
Knowing this, I was immediately worried when the team was first formed.
Two members with completely opposite personalities ended up hanging out together.
Yoo Min-ha noticed that I was glancing at Ji Yoon-chul and asked him in a bright voice.
"Yoon-chul, is there a food tasting corner you want to try? "
"... I don't think there is anything in particular."
"Really? When you went to the mart in the past, was there a particular food that you ate a lot of?"
"... I don't really remember going to places like that."
"Aha."
Even the world's best, Yoo Min-ha, who had an outstanding ability to create conversations, trailed off.
Then he looked at me with a sorrowful look.
It was almost like a plea: 'Please help me! '
But I was finding what Ji Yoon-chul just said very interesting.
'He had hardly ever been to a place like a large mart.'
It's probably common to have memories of going to such places with your parents when you were young.
Judging from Ji Yoon-chul's way of speaking, it is safe to say that it is highly unlikely that he really did not want to answer and was trying to avoid the question.
Even though he was a man of few words and had almost no sociability, he was not the type of person to deliberately make up lies like this.
If that's the case, then what he just said is absolutely true.
'... perhaps he wasn't in the same situation as me.'
While I was in the middle of thinking about Ji Yoon-chul's past, our manager came and told us that we had to leave soon.
"I'll see you alive, Hyung-bin Hyung! "
"Surely they're not going to make us do difficult things from the first day of training."
"It's less painful if you expect the worst! "
"Can you stop telling me scary stories? "
After saying goodbye to the movie theater team, we drove to a nearby hypermarket.
Since it was the mart's day off, there weren't any customers.
"I've never seen such a deserted mart in my life."
"The air is so dreary."
The reality staff arrived before we arrived and were ready to film.
We sat side by side on the chairs and listened to the PD's announcement.
"Welcome to the tasting corner part-time team. Before we begin the full-scale training, we need to decide what menu we're going to sell, right? "
"Yes!"
"Please select one member here as your representative now."
"As a representative? "
Yoo Minha and I exchanged glances for a moment.
And we spoke in unison.
"Let's do it with Yoon-chul! "
"I think it would be a good idea for Yoon-chul to be the representative."
"... Me? "
Ji Yoon-chul confirmed once again that he had been selected.
As we both nodded firmly, he stood up from his seat without saying anything.
"... What should I do?"
"It's simple! Turntable, please come in."
After hearing the PD's words, the staff came in and pushed the large turntable that had been hidden nearby.
There were various foods written on the wheel.
"Pasta, sausage, chicken nuggets, dumplings...."
"There's also dakgalbi [Spicy Stir-fried Chicken] and bulgogi [Korean-style grilled or roasted dish.]"
"Karis hyung-nim, I suddenly got hungry!"
These are all foods that can be found in large supermarkets.
"Mr. Yoon-chul, who was selected as the representative, will throw this dart to choose the menu to sell during his daily part-time job. Want to try practicing? "
Ji Yoon-chul was given three darts that were slightly larger in size.
I asked because I was worried about whether Ji Yoon-chul had ever thrown a dart.
"Yoon-chul. Have you ever played darts?"
"...No."
As expected, Ji Yoon-chul has no experience with darts.
In fact, after looking through the menus, I couldn't find anything that felt particularly difficult.
So it didn't seem like it would matter much which one was chosen, but the problem was that Ji Yoon-chul had to get the menu right.
Even if the wheel is big, if the dart doesn't hit the target....
Previous campsite content may return.
'Ji Yoon-chul could become gloomy again because he couldn't even do this easy thing. Ji Yoon-chul doesn't have much screen time because he doesn't say much, so he shouldn't become even more despondent.'
The moment I was about to tell Ji Yoon-chul to throw the dart as lightly as possible,.
"... I think it's worth a try, though."
"Yoon-chul's confidence is cool! "
"What kind of food would be best? "
Instead, Ji Yoon-chul asked us in a calm tone.
There was no sign of discouragement on his face.
Rather, his shoulders straightened slightly.
"Anything would be fine, but we have to meet our target amount... What's the most expensive thing you can sell for? "
"I think it's okay to come out with anything, but since we have to fill the target amount.... What's the most expensive thing to sell over there? "
"Then we need something that's not too cheap or too expensive, umm."
Yoo Minha frowned and thought about it, then gave up.
"I don't know! Yoon-chul, don't worry about that and just throw it away! Whatever comes out is fine! "
"... Then I will challenge it right away."
"Are you going without practice? "
"Yes."
Ji Yoon-chul picked up the dart without hesitation.
I smiled faintly as I looked at him without any hesitation.
'Could it be that you've had a similar experience before and now have some confidence? '
Ji Yoon-chul showed a minor performance in the first mission of collecting branches during the campsite content.
However, in the additional mission draw that was held later, he chose the easiest mission and received praise from his teammates.
I felt like he was still radiating confidence when he thought about the glory of that time.
I wonder what the result will be.
Ji Yoon-chul stared at the spinning wheel and threw a dart in a simple manner.
And surprisingly, the dart landed on the wheel on the first try.
"Okay, it hit! What menu will the tasting corner part-time team sell?"
The wheel slowly stopped, and the name of the menu that Ji Yoon-chul had hit was revealed.
"It's bulgogi! "
"It's bulgogi."
"Hmm, bulgogi."
It is a menu that people like.
But when I think back to old memories, I don't think there were that many people who bought bulgogi from large marts.
Moreover, we need to grill the bulgogi ourselves and make it available for citizens to taste.
I had the impression that it wouldn't be a simple task.
Still, the menu wasn't too cheap or ridiculously expensive, so the primary goal was achieved.
"The menu that the tasting corner team must sell has been decided to be bulgogi. Okay, then...."
The PD quickly said something to the staff.
Then, from afar, a sturdy man wearing a white apron, showing off his healthy teeth, walked quickly toward us.
"Hello, everyone! I am Baek Hyun-chul, in charge of the meat-tasting corner at K-Mart. Over the next few days, I will be teaching you how to operate the meat corner and how to grill meat deliciously. Please take care of me! "
"I look forward to!"
"Okay, first of all...."
The tasting corner teacher cleared his throat.
"I was so happy when you all chose my menu. Of all the corners, the meat corner requires the loudest voices, so I thought you would be able to follow along well with your excellent vocalization."
"I am confident in my pronunciation! "
"You seem very confident. Okay, then follow me and do this."
The teacher took a deep breath, then spoke his lines quickly in a booming voice.
"Come on, come on! This is not an opportunity that comes every day~! Very tender and delicious beef bulgogi for one plus one. Get the beef bulgogi with amazing seasoning for one plus one for 12,000 won!"
It was a huge noise.
The speed was fast, but because he had such a good voice, the words 'bulgogi one plus one' were clearly engraved in my ears.
It was as if I felt like I would be at a loss if I didn't buy some bulgogi right away.
"There are more lines than this, but let's start with the most frequently used ones. Everyone, out loud! "
"Yes!"
Yoo Minha showed off his deep voice while smiling brightly, as if he had been waiting for this.
I was in front of the camera and tried my best to shout, but Ji Yoon-chul stuttered as if he didn't even realize what was going on.
And the teacher wasn't the kind who would just let this go.
"Tallest friend! Your voice is too small! No one can hear you when you speak like that! Now, say it again! "
Ji Yoon-chul's face, which had always been indifferent, began to turn slightly pale.
