The Crown Prince in the Mang Game is Good at Idols - Chapter 132
Only Noblemtl
Episode 132
I responded to the old man’s barrage of questions as calmly as possible.
“You are both Estonian.”
“Where is Estonia?”
“It’s a country in Eastern Europe… … .”
“Oh, I went to Europe a lot when I was younger! Where did I go? The first place I went was France.”
As the old man tried to open his rich bundle of stories, Ji Yoon-cheol’s eyebrows twitched as he was grilling meat.
I also felt them turning their gaze towards me.
‘It seems like customers are coming in a little more, but if we stay here for too long, there will be problems.’
But it was impossible to just cut off the old man’s words.
When I’m quickly thinking about the best way to do it.
Yu Min-ha, who was holding a pair of tongs and diligently trying to find a way out, intervened at a good time.
“France! I really like France! There’s the Eiffel Tower in Paris, right? The Eiffel Tower! Dad, there’s some meat that just came out. Would you like to try it first? It’s so tender and delicious!”
“Really? Give it some, I wonder what it tastes like.”
“It’s hot, so be careful when you eat it, Father!”
Thanks to Yoo Min-ha’s great performance, we were able to avoid a crisis.
As Jiyooncheol and I nodded without saying anything, Yoo Minha wiped her nose and gave a thumbs up.
It’s a reaction you’d expect to see in a typical comic book.
The elderly people who gathered in large groups tasted the meat grilled by Ji Yoon-cheol one by one and gave it favorable reviews.
“The meat is really well cooked. Did you make this?”
“……yes.”
“The young man is really good at grilling meat. Honey, should we buy a pack too?”
“thank you.”
At first, Ji Yoon-cheol couldn’t even raise his head and greeted her, as if he was embarrassed by the one-sided praise that was being poured on him, but as time passed, his shoulders straightened.
Now, I’ve reached a point where I don’t have to say thank you first, and people bow to me on their own.
“Wow, there are so many people here at once.”
“That’s right. I never imagined that everyone would come all at once like this.”
“… … My arms hurt because I cooked too much at once.”
Only after the customers who had been crowding around the tasting corner had left did we finally take a breather.
Ji Yoon-cheol, who had the hardest time, tried to relax his muscles by rolling his shoulders.
I checked my wristwatch.
An hour and a half had already passed in the blink of an eye.
‘It’s time to pass the baton now.’
It’s time to give Ji Yoon-cheol some rest after working hard grilling meat.
“Yoon-cheol, it’s time to switch with me.”
“Replacement?”
“I’ll grill the meat for the next two hours, so Yuncheol, take care of packing it up.”
“uh…….”
Ji Yoon-cheol looked slightly uneasy.
His hands instinctively grasped the tongs and scissors.
“It’s much easier to grill it… … .”
“Still, your arms must have been strained from baking for so long. As the teacher said, taking turns is effective for stamina management.”
“… … Okay, bro.”
Ji Yoon-cheol would rather be quietly grilling meat than doing packaging work that requires constant interaction with people.
But that doesn’t mean I’m going to grill meat alone all day.
I took over Ji Yoon-cheol’s equipment and tapped him on the shoulder.
“The crowds that came in the morning seem to have mostly subsided now, so it should be relatively relaxed. So don’t be too nervous.”
“… … What if it’s just the beginning?”
And as if Ji Yoon-cheol’s words had become seeds, about 10 minutes later.
“Yuncheol-ah!”
“Min-ha! Look here!”
“Charis!”
“You’re so handsome!”
“oh my god…….”
Guests of all ages flocked in droves, boasting huge numbers.
I hurriedly placed the meat on the grill while watching the young customers holding up their cell phones.
Yumin and the staff worked tirelessly to maintain order as much as possible.
“Please stand in a line, one line!”
However, the fans, who knew very well that they should not cause a fuss in this situation, lined up in a single line as instructed.
Our tasting line grew so long that it filled half the food court area.
You could tell right away how many fans had come here by word of mouth.
“Hello. The meat will be ready soon, so please wait a moment.”
“I can wait as long as you want!”
I first greeted the fans on behalf of Ji Yoon-cheol.
After busily cooking the bulgogi with both hands, I quickly cut it into bite-sized pieces.
I could instinctively feel that the fans’ eyes were fixed on me as I worked at a fast pace.
I felt a little embarrassed because I heard people exclaiming in admiration for every little thing I did, but I decided to enjoy this feeling instead.
“Hello! Oh, oh my… … . You’re really so handsome.”
“Welcome.”
My first customer was a young fan who looked like he was in middle school.
The girl who was fiddling with her school uniform ribbon hesitated for a moment before speaking to me.
“I didn’t go to school today to see my brother!”
“Is it okay to do that?”
“Oh, I told you I’d be late because I went to the hospital! I really wanted to see you in person.”
I was really grateful that you took the time to postpone going to school and come all the way here, but at the same time, I was worried.
“It’s fortunate if it doesn’t affect your attendance grades or anything, but you still shouldn’t lie like that. Next time, make sure you go to school and come back, okay?”
“Yes! I will never be late again!”
“You made a promise to me.”
I put the freshly grilled bulgogi into a cup and handed it to her.
The student, who had been breathing heavily and carefully tasting the meat, immediately covered his mouth and spoke in a voice filled with emotion.
“It’s so delicious!”
“I’m glad you like it. There’s a sale going on right now, so if you’d like to buy some—”
“I definitely want to buy it! My brother baked it for me, so of course I have to buy it!”
As I met the next guests, I realized that the percentage of fans who postponed school to come here was much higher than I thought.
And this didn’t just apply to students.
The next woman to come to the tasting corner had her eyes fixed on Ji Yoon-cheol from the beginning.
I noticed it right away and said in a very natural tone.
“Yun-cheol, I just need to drink some water, so can you grill some meat for me just this once?”
“Yes, I will do it.”
“thanks.”
The female fan who received meat from Ji Yoon-cheol revealed her pick and shyly told the story of how she ran away from the company.
“I really only picked Yoon Chul since ! But I was so sad because I couldn’t actually see him because I failed to get an audience or something, but my company happens to be nearby… …!”
“Did you sneak out in the middle of the night?”
“I said I was going to have lunch and came straight here!”
“But you came out saying the right thing! You can have some bulgogi here before you go!”
Next to me, Yumin Ha tapped the tongs and smiled brightly.
Perhaps because he revealed that he was a fan, Ji Yoon-cheol became even more silent and focused all his energy on properly grilling the meat.
“… … I’ll give you some meat.”
“omg……!”
Ji Yoon-cheol handed over not one, but two cups of bulgogi for tasting.
The moment he handed the cups to the fan, Ji Yoon-cheol’s fingertips lightly touched the fan’s hand.
The female fan was at a loss and couldn’t even make eye contact with Ji Yoon-cheol.
“Oh, thank you! I’ll buy a pack of meat too.”
“thank you!”
“Thank you!”
It seems that many of our working fans hurriedly left midway after hearing that we were filming our daily part-time job here.
‘This is the moment when I realize with my whole body that there are so many people who show us love and interest.’
Since then, I’ve been grilling meat like crazy and having short conversations with fans.
Just as my fingers were starting to feel numb while cutting with scissors, a fan appeared with an unusual request.
“Brother, I have a favor to ask! Please speak normally, normally!”
“Is that your usual… …speech?”
I was momentarily embarrassed.
If it’s the everyday speech that fans want, it’s definitely referring to the habitual prince-like tone that he uses when talking to the members.
I was wondering what to do with this.
But I remembered the resolve I had made earlier.
‘I decided to enjoy this moment when all the attention was focused on me even more.’
I nodded and asked the fan what his name was.
“What is your name?”
“That’s my friend!”
“Hmm, hmm.”
Finally, I turned the meat over to check if it was fully cooked.
Then he cut the bulgogi neatly with scissors, put it in a cup, and handed it to a female fan.
He said this with a solemn tone.
“Now, friend. Listen. The meat can be very hot, so make sure it cools before eating.”
“Go, thank you!”
“If the roof of your mouth gets burned, it will break my heart, so be careful that that never happens. Got it?”
The fan who heard my last words screamed and his face turned red like a tomato.
I clearly told her to eat slowly, but she was so excited that she swallowed the bulgogi in one bite and left, exclaiming, “It’s really delicious and pretty!”
I looked at her back and muttered to myself.
“You shouldn’t be so stubborn.”
“… … It seemed like you never chewed it.”
“Really? Even from my perspective, it looked like you swallowed it right away.”
Our bulgogi sale event drew endless crowds.
As the teacher said, I thought it would be a great success if I sold just 1/3 of the meat prepared today.
Thanks to the collaboration between ordinary citizens and fans who came to see us through word of mouth on SNS, more than half of the tickets were already sold out in less than 4 hours.
“The special sale for bulgogi is almost over! Now is your last chance!”
Of course, the credit for this was overwhelmingly given to Yoo Min-ha, who constantly solicited customers with her tireless energy.
Even though I was getting tired watching it, Yumin kept up the energetic energy and kept the beat with his tongs until the very end.
It seems like he’s become quite attached to the tongs.
But the effect was so great that I couldn’t even find fault with it.
“Min-ha, I’m a huge fan!”
“Really?”
“Yeah yeah! When I was watching the live broadcast, I was really anxious because I was worried that my name wouldn’t be called at the end.”
“Thank you so much! Thanks to your support and encouragement, I am here!”
“It’s exactly the same as the actual broadcast… … I came after seeing a post saying that you were singing while holding tongs.”
The sight of Yumin Ha holding the tongs seemed to have had an impact beyond imagination.
One fan who sent affectionate words and glances to Yoo Min-ha even acted as a big hand.
“Bulgogi One Plus One is so cheap. I’ll buy four packs!”
“Is this your pack?”
“So that’s eight packs total. Is that okay?”
“When will I ever get to eat Celeste’s bulgogi again!”
He was a fan of Yumin Ha who ate eight packs of bulgogi by himself.
Yoo Min-ha, who was extremely touched, asked the fan’s name and even sang a trot song for him.
“I’m happy because I have you, Jeongmi~! I’m happy because I have you!”
There really wasn’t any special fan service.
But since you bought eight packs by yourself, I thought it was only natural that you should give it to me.
“He’s the MVP today, bro!”
“That’s true. I didn’t know you would buy that much on your own.”
