Chapter 133
Our tasting corner closing time was scheduled for exactly 8pm.
So the goal was to sell 1/3 of the meat we brought in today by 8 o'clock.
"...Karis Hyung-nim. This is the last one."
Ji Yoon-chul spoke to me while wrapping the last pack of bulgogi in plastic wrap.
After hearing his words, Yoo Min-ha stopped soliciting customers and came running.
"It's true! This is the last pack!"
"That's true."
"It's not even closing time yet, and it's already sold out!"
I could only nod my head in agreement when I saw the results we had achieved.
Even if we sell just 1/3 of it, we can exceed the mission goal of 500,000 won.
If we sell just one more pack, we'll have successfully sold out all the meat.
'I thought it might sell out considering the crowds that came all day, but I never thought it would actually happen.'
I'm proud.
The results far exceeded the target figures.
It was rewarding to prepare for the reality show while practicing for the debut stage.
Yoo Minha clenched his fists as he adjusted his sanitary mask.
"Let's do our best until the end!"
"Okay."
"Yes."
Who will be the owner of the last pack of bulgogi?
I also followed Yoo Minha and walked forward to let them know that the bulgogi was about to sell out.
Then, soon after, the family with the child came to the mart and stood in front of the tasting corner.
"How is it, Hayul? Is it delicious?"
"It's delicious!"
"Should we do this for dinner tonight, honey?"
And so the last piece of bulgogi left our hands.
We all came forward and expressed our gratitude.
"Thank you! Thank you!"
"Thank you. Enjoy your meal."
"... Take care."
And the teacher who was watching this scene with the staff came and stuck out his tongue in admiration.
"Wow, this is the first time in my life I've seen this kind of thing. All this meat sold out in one day."
"I feel like my hard work paid off, teacher!"
"Min-ha, you've worked really hard. Does your throat hurt?"
"This much is easy!"
The teacher, who patted Yoo Min-ha on the shoulder, then immediately told me and Ji Yoon-chul that we had worked hard.
"Mr. Karis did a great job, too. And Mr. Yoon-chul, too. I see that everyone who tried the meat said it was delicious. Your arms must have really hurt, but you worked hard!"
"... As Min-ha Hyung said, it was very rewarding."
The teacher and other staff members said they would finish organizing the tasting corner.
After changing our clothes, we headed out for the official closing filming.
"The goal for this part-time job was to make a final sale of 500,000 won, and we succeeded in selling out. The final sales of the tasting corner team is 1.8 million won!"
"1.18 million won?"
"We really sold a lot."
After Ji Yoon-chul applauded softly, he raised his hand and asked a question.
"It sold out, but is there any separate bonus? "
"Oh, a sell-out bonus!"
The bonus I mentioned in passing earlier.
Ji Yoon-chul seemed to have been thinking about that bonus throughout filming today.
'There could be a bonus if we exceeded the target, but it's uncertain whether they'll actually give it.'
I was worried that Ji Yoon-chul's expectations would fall to the floor, but surprisingly, the reality show PD generously offered a bonus.
"Since you've sold out all of the bulgogi this time, our production team will provide a full Korean beef barbecue set during your pool villa vacation!"
"I like meat! I like Korean beef!"
"Thank you!"
Ji Yoon-chul also spoke in an unusually loud voice.
Judging by the way he clenches his fists, he seems very excited right now.
After filming was over, we were finally able to return to our dorm.
The moment I got into the car, all the fatigue that had built up throughout the day came rushing back to me.
"Oh, my arm won't move."
"You must be tired since you've been holding the tongs all this time, Min-ha."
"Hehe. But my throat isn't sore, hyung-nim."
"It looks like you've used the vocal technique properly."
We exchanged brief conversations for a few minutes, and then, at some point, I just fell asleep.
I think this is the first time I've slept this deeply since
The movie theater team arrived at the dorm one step ahead of us.
"Everyone worked hard!"
"Hahaha! Karis' head smells like meat."
"Siyoon, the smell of food wafts from your fingertips."
"Of course! I've been delivering nachos and hot dogs all day."
Finally, as a complete group, we patted each other on the back for our hard work and sat down on the living room floor.
It's time to announce the results.
"The movie theater team succeeded in their mission today by making a total of 1.1 million won in sales. The food tasting corner team succeeded in their mission by making a total of 1.8 million won. Congratulations!"
"What on earth did you do to get 1.8 million won?"
"Our bulgogi sold out completely!"
"This is truly amazing."
Chae Eun-gyu opened his eyes wide, as if he were genuinely surprised.
Then, Yoo Min-ha smiled brightly and gave credit to Ji Yoon-chul.
"I think everyone decided to buy it because Yoon-chul grilled the meat, which tasted so good. He must have had a hard time grilling the meat all by himself, but he didn't complain at all. He was amazing!"
"Oh, no. Min-ha Hyung had a harder time soliciting customers―"
"No, you're more!"
"No, Hyung is better."
It was a scene that felt like a deja vu of the last day of
"Thanks to all of you, Seleste, this one-day part-time job has been completed successfully. As promised, we will give you a pool villa vacation as a reward!"
"It's vacation!"
"Eat lots of delicious food!"
"I will be able to recharge my energy before debut activities."
As soon as the PD finished speaking, my status window was also settled.
[You have successfully completed the linked quest, 'Achieve sales of 50 or more at the tasting corner.']
[Reward: 15 skill points, 1 medium passive skill experience point, 1% system damage recovery]
With this, I now have half the experience left to level up the 'Worship and Revere' skill.
'If I just complete a couple more missions, I can move up to B-.'
It will take a long time, but it will be worth it.
"You all have worked hard. We will provide detailed information about the pool villa schedule later, so recover well and get plenty of rest!"
"Thank you!"
"Thank you for your hard work!"

Seleste's surprise one-day part-time job caused a big stir in a good way.
They have already communicated with Seleve in the form of mini-fan meetings at their debut commemorative event cafe, but they have never suddenly appeared in people's daily lives like this.
The fact that they ran into their favorites at movie theaters and large marts that they usually visit without thinking about it gave people even greater joy.
―I was dragged to the mart by my mom this morning, and suddenly someone appeared from far away with a pair of tongs and asked, "Do you like bulgogi?" But when I looked closely, it was Yoo Min-ha. Is this really true??
└Deokgye Pond is a national rule, how did you break it? ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
[덕계못
└No, it's morning so I'm pushing a cart like a zombie and all of a sudden there are a lot of cameras and some guy is singing really loud so I looked and it's Yoo Minha? I turned my head and it's Karis and Ji Yoon-chul grilling meat ㅅㅂㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
└I saw Unni's post about the kids suddenly doing a tasting corner at the mart in our neighborhood, so I just stopped working and ran out.
└I'm really jealous of the citizens of Seoul...
└I spent the whole day at home today just reading people's reviews and they were all talking about Yoo Minha ㅜㅜㅋㅋㅋㅋ
└It was really overwhelming.... Karis is also quiet and Ji Yoon-chul doesn't say much either. Minha was the only one who carried hard ㅠ It was his calling
└But why did Min-ha show up holding a pair of tongs?
└Idk Isn't it just to get attention?? But the beat is incredibly well-matched like castanets
Many Seleve continued to post vivid testimonials about seeing Seleste in their area, making them the envy of many.
―(Photo) Suja nags me about why I didn't go to school ㅠ ·̫ ㅠ♥
└ He nags you? ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
└Yeah ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ I skipped school and ran to the mart.... But I was wearing a school uniform, so Suja-nim asked me, "What about school?" I said, "I'm late for it." He told me seriously to go to school on time from now on
└As expected, he is a man who lives a proper life.
└No, the courage to proudly say that you skipped school in front of Karis, who grew up in a professor's house is really ㄹㅈㄷ [legend]
└ㅎㅎ... ♥♥ But at the end, he said, "You made a promise with me?" and laughed. Haha, he's seriously so handsome!!
―Hahahaha it was worth it to come out of the company.... I never thought I'd get to eat the meat that Yoon-chul grilled for me ㅠㅠㅠㅠ Even our fingers brushed when he gave me the meat....
* This is a public tweet from the circle. *
└Crazy. Did you touch his hand too?
└No, I didn't touch itㅋㅋㅋ my fingertips just slightly brushed with his while receiving the cup?
└Ha, in that case, you should have pretended to grab it but actually grabbed the hand instead of doing that!!! ㅜㅜ
└Yeah, that's what I should've done ㅠㅋㅋㅋㅋ At that time, my brain stopped working and I couldn't think of anything....
└If it were me, I would have just grabbed his hand and eaten him
└It's too hot, please calm down
―I asked Karis to speak in his normal tone today, and after hesitating for a moment, he asked me what my name was, then gave me some meat and said, "Okay. Listen."ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
* This is a public tweet from the circle *
└When I laughed like crazy and said thank you, he went a step further and said, "You must never burn the roof of your mouth. Do you understand?"... I almost fainted there.
└You really make him do this ㅅㅂ ヲヲヲヲヲヲヲヲヲヲヲヲヲヲヲ
└It must have been embarrassing because there were so many people, but he did this straight away... Karis, you are truly the ultimate idol
└No, he wasn't embarrassed at all?? They were filming the broadcast with that tone of speech.... Does he not know how strange it is because he is a foreigner?
└That's suspiciously Confucian
└Haha...
└The way he speaks is strange, but his expression is serious, so it's twice as funny
└A collaboration of a strange way of speaking and a strangely handsome face
In addition to reviews saying that they provided solid fan service even in situations where there was a huge crowd, much attention was paid to the members' passion itself.
Since it was part of a reality film, it would have been possible to just gather a certain amount of content and then just wrap things up and move on.
However, Seleste showed a sense of responsibility by completing all their assigned tasks at both the tasting corner and the movie theater.
―I heard it directly from someone who works at a mart, but from the time they first opened until all the bulgogi sold out, Min-ha kept talking loudly and running around without stopping... ㅠㅠㅠ
└It was nice to see Min-ha genuinely enjoying himself. How could the smile never disappear from his face?
└When you get in the car on the way home from work, sitting near the window. Completely bungbungpuppy... ㅠㅠㅠ
[A puppy jumping around because he is happy and excited.]
└He is a good-natured young man who only has good stories to tell.
―(Photo) I went to see a movie today and Eun-gyu was really working hard popping popcorn.... ⸝⸝ʚ̴̶̷̆ ̯ʚ̴̶̷̆⸝⸝ I didn't go after reading the reviews, it was just a coincidence that our dates overlapped so right when the kids were getting off work?! He was almost the last to take our orderㅠ It must have been hard because there were so many people ahead of us, but he was so kind that I was touched....
└When I told him I was a Seleve, he said thank you for coming all the way here and asked for lots of love in the future and asked if I needed an autograph ㅠㅠ He was really sweet and I was even more grateful
└Ah, I saw some part-timers waiting to clean the movie theater on my way out after the movie tonight, and no matter how I looked at it, they didn't look like regular people. I thought they were hiring movie theater part-timers based on their looks these days, and it turns out they were Seleste.
└ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ If it was dinner time, it would have been Hyung-bin and Siyoon!! Someone uploaded a picture earlier and said that the two went in to take turns cleaning
└Aha! But why are they suddenly filming the battlefield of life experience??
└It's a reality concept....
The vivid reviews coming in made them look forward to Seleste's reality even more.
As time passed quickly and the reality show's first episode aired on TV, fans were wondering what was next for Seleste.
[Seleste_official: (Photo) Watermelon is the best in the summer!! We shot with a water gun so many times to get this one watermelon, but my hyungs didn't even pay attention because they were grilling meat.... #YooMinHa #Seleste #Minha #Seleste]
After about a week, refreshing photos were posted on Seleste's official SNS accounts.
