Chapter 117: 3 Days And 2 Nights (2)
"What about you, Yura? You're a new face so I'm sure everyone will be excited to get to know more about you!" Jaesung then turned to Yura
"Hello, Oppa. I was really nervous coming here."
Jaesung chuckled and nodded as if he could understand her feeling.
"You'll also get used to it. Anyway, I just recently found out that you went to Seoul National University!" Jaesung uttered out loud which shocked everyone, even Minjae.
As soon as Jaesung mentioned Seoul National University, a collective gasp echoed from the cast members and even the crew who were at the side.
"Wait, wait, wait—Seoul National University?!" Ha-dong exclaimed, his eyes wide with disbelief.
"THE Seoul National University?" Taekwon emphasized, pointing at Yura in shock.
"Woah!" Minsuk clapped his hands in amazement. "Yura here must be so smart then!"
"Seoul National University is the best university here in South Korea so she must be!" Jaesung added, shaking his head.
Jihoon turned to Yura with a dramatically serious face. It was also their first time learning about it.
"Yura-ssi, why are you here? Shouldn't you be curing diseases or running the country?"
The entire group erupted into laughter while Yura covered her face, clearly flustered.
"No! No!" She waved her hands in denial. "It's not that impressive!"
"Yah, don't be humble now!" Ha-dong shook his head. "SNU is so hard to get into! You must be a genius!"
Jaesung grinned. "Alright, let's confirm. Yura-ssi, what was your major?"
Yura hesitated for a moment before answering, "I majored in psychology."
"WAHHH!" The cast erupted again.
"A PSYCHOLOGY MAJOR FROM SEOUL NATIONAL UNIVERSITY?!" Taekwon shouted dramatically.
For them, it was really impressive. The odds of being in SNU were just too little. Every citizen in Korea wants to enter it so it was also very competitive.
Ha-dong shook his head in disbelief. "A psychology major? Yura-ssi, do you know how to read people's minds!"
"Seriously, do you know what I'm thinking right now?" Jaesung also asked, leaning in with a playful smirk.
"No, no! It doesn't work like that!" Yura burst into laughter, waving her hands.
"Wait, what if she already knows all our weaknesses just by observing us?" Taekwon gasped dramatically.
"That explains why she's been so calm this whole time. She already predicted this exact moment." Minsuk nodded, crossing his arms.
Jihoon, who had been silent for a while, suddenly took a step away from Yura. "No wonder… I felt uneasy standing beside her!" He pointed at her. "She's been analyzing us this entire time, hasn't she?!"
Everyone erupted into laughter while Yura shook her head furiously.
"No! I promise I'm not analyzing anyone!"
Jaesung chuckled. "Alright, alright, we'll stop teasing Yura-ssi— but honestly, that's really impressive. SNU is no joke!"
"She's pretty and smart, what kind of overpowered combination is this?" Minsuk sighed dramatically, making everyone laugh again.
Yura, overwhelmed by the non-stop praises, covered her face with both hands. "Oh no, stop it! This is too much!"
Jaesung grinned. "Alright, let's move on before Yura-ssi disappears from embarrassment. Next up, we have Jihoon-ssi!"
The attention quickly shifted to Jihoon, who had been standing confidently, trying to avoid eye contact.
"Oh no," he muttered under his breath, making the cast laugh.
Jaesung clapped his hands. "Jihoon-ssi, welcome to 3 Days and 2 Nights! How are you feeling today?"
Jihoon let out a deep sigh. "Honestly, hyung… I was feeling fine until I got attacked by Minjae-ssi earlier." He shot a playful glare at Minjae.
Minjae, still riding the high from his impersonation, gave a smug grin. "You're welcome."
The cast burst into laughter again as Jihoon shook his head. "Aish, this is going to be a long shoot."
Jaesung laughed. "Come on, come on. It's your turn to be in the spotlight! First of all, Jihoon-ssi, it's also your first time joining a variety show, right?"
Jihoon exhaled dramatically before nodding.
"Yes, hyung. This is my first time on a big variety show like this."
"Then, how are you feeling right now? Nervous? Excited?" Ha-dong asked, leaning forward in curiosity.
Jihoon rubbed the back of his neck, his usual confidence wavering slightly.
"Honestly… I was excited at first, but after seeing what Minjae-ssi just went through, I think I should've mentally prepared myself better."
"It seems like today's shoot is going to be fun since they're all new to variety shows." Minsuk exclaimed out loud.
"Don't worry," Minjae grinned, draping an arm over Jihoon's shoulder. "We'll make sure your first time is unforgettable."
Jihoon scoffed. "That's exactly what I'm afraid of."
Jaesung chuckled. "Alright, Jihoon-ssi, let's hear it. What were your expectations before coming here?"
Jihoon let out a short laugh. "Honestly? I thought we'd just eat good food, do some lighthearted games, and enjoy nature. You know, like a healing trip."
The cast immediately erupted into laughter.
"Aish, he really doesn't know!" Ha-dong cackled, wiping a tear from his eye.
Minsuk patted Jihoon's back. "Jihoon-ah, who told you it was a healing trip?"
"My manager. He said, 'It's a great opportunity! You'll have fun, meet new people, and bond with the cast!'" Jihoon sighed.
Hana chucked. "I think your manager set you up."
Jihoon groaned dramatically. "I feel so betrayed."
"Well, at least you're here now. So what's your goal for today's shoot?" Jaesung laughed.
"Survival?" Jihoon thought for a moment before answering.
More laughter echoed across the set.
"I like this guy already!" Ha-dong clapped his hands.
"Alright, let's give a warm welcome to our poor newbie, Jihoon-ssi!" Jaesung announced, and the cast gave an exaggerated round of applause.
Jihoon bowed slightly, his smile growing more relaxed. "Please take care of me."
Jaesung turned toward the last person. "And finally, we have our last member, Seojin-ssi!"
The attention now shifted to Seo Jin, who had been silently watching everyone's introductions. She gave a small smile and nodded.
"Hello, everyone. I'm Seojin. It's nice to meet you all." Her tone was calm and composed, making her stand out from the more chaotic introductions earlier.
"Oh? Our Seojin here seems like the calm type," Minsuk observed, tilting his head.
"Seojin-ssi, you're also a newbie in variety, right?" Jaesung grinned.
Seo Jin nodded. "Yes, this is my first time on a show like this."
"Since this is your first time, Seojin-ssi, how are you feeling right now? Are you also nervous and excited?" Jaesung smiled.
Seojin paused for a moment, then answered with a small laugh.
"A bit of both. Watching everyone's introductions was fun, but now that it's my turn, I feel like I'm being put on the spot."
The cast chuckled, and Jaesung nodded.
"Don't worry, we're all in this together."
Jaesung clapped his hands together with a wide grin.
"Alright! Now that we've met everyone, it's time to officially start 3 Days and 2 Nights!"
