Chapter Index

    About half a year has passed since Sua became an actress.

    Sua had quite a few modifiers and nicknames attached to her name.

    Among them, the most famous was ‘Shooting Star’ in Korea.

    And in Japan, something like ‘Deity’?

    Anyway, all nicknames have in common that they exist to praise Sua’s achievements, and at this moment, Sua has one more achievement worthy of praise.

    That is, the success of ‘Alien Game.’

    1. Alien Game 2. Small Family 3. The House We Built 4. It’s Too Hot. You Too?

    Netflix has finally landed in Korea.

    ‘Alien Game’ proudly took first place among them.

    “…”

    Sua was stunned for a while.

    ‘Alien Rank’ is high? I already knew that. But that and the shock I’m receiving now are separate. The feeling of, ‘Wow, is this really going to be a huge hit?’

    Then Hong Yeji’s voice was heard.

    “…It’s really a huge hit. What are we going to do?”

    Only then did it sink in. At the same time, she was excited.

    Something was bubbling up inside Sua’s heart.

    ‘Seong Si-hyeon! Honestly, even though filming this role was fun, I was so worried about what people’s reactions would be! To succeed so spectacularly like this!’

    And as her heart became excited, her mouth opened on its own.

    “What do you mean, what are we going to do?”

    “Huh?”

    “We just have to go with the flow and enjoy it! Embrace it!”

    “That’s… true.”

    Soon, Hong Yeji burst out laughing over the phone.

    “It’s such a Sua-like answer that I feel relieved and happy too. Anyway, it’s all thanks to you, Sua-ssi, that we were able to achieve this. Thank you always.”

    “Oh, Hong Writer-nim, you worked hard too, right?”

    “I have to work even harder from now on. You must be busy, but I won’t take up any more of your time. Have a good day.”

    After hanging up the phone like that.

    ‘Yay-ho!’

    Sua cheered inwardly.

    Number one, number one! Sua number one!

    ◈◈◈◈◈

    After that.

    Just as Sua entered the supplementary scene schedule for the maid-related scenes in ‘High Society,’ reporters who heard the news of ‘Alien Game’ taking first place started hammering on their keyboards like crazy.

    The fact that it’s number one on Netflix, the fact that Sua, whose stock is currently high in Korea, is the lead, reporters were not fools enough to miss such good bait.

    When articles pour out to this extent, it was obvious where it would ignite next. The community.

    【Korean Community】

    ─I watched up to episode 3 and it’s so funny lololol

    ─I thought my favorite would never change from Kim Yu-han, but Seong Si-hyeon is really crazy, so my heart is going to her kk

    ─Good as a friend, but the worst as family lololol ㄴ frrr exactly this lololol ㄴ correct lololol

    ─Is this fun? Why is everyone making such a fuss?

    ─Ah, I want to enhance my boss at work, please ㅠㅠㅠ

    ─I want to enhance too. Enhance! Enhance!

    . . . . .

    And two days later.

    ‘Alien Game’ dropped another bomb on the internet, which had already become a battlefield. That is, the release of the OST.

    The OST that Sua sang herself was uploaded.

    [ Alien Game OST PART 1 ]

    [ Enchant Again ][ Official Audio ]

    It’s already a popular drama, and Sua even sang it herself? People were insanely interested. Views and comments were copied.

    【Music Platform Comments】

    ─??? Wait, she’s good at singing too?

    ─Wow, did the soldiers hear this first?

    ─If you listen to the tune, it doesn’t seem like there’s any correction applied lololol she’s really amazing lololol crazy

    ─I’ve been replaying it since I discovered it ㅠ I can’t get out of it at all. Someone get me out of here….

    The reaction was, of course, overwhelmingly positive.

    At the same time.

    ─But it kinda has that VTuber feel lololol the song cover VTuber that keeps popping up on my MuTube algorithm these days ㄴ You mean Sumiho? ㄴ ㅇㅇㅇㅇ correct Sumiho ㄴ But Sumiho and her voice are too different.

    The time to reveal her identity was approaching.

    ◈◈◈◈◈

    The next day.

    A studio with a kitchen where cooking is possible.

    “Oh! Sua-ssi, this is so pretty too, right?”

    One of the stylists next to Sua shouted. Then the staff next to her nodded enthusiastically.

    “Right? She really looks like an angel in white clothes.”

    “The apron is so cute, though.”

    Yes, Sua was wearing a chef’s outfit right now.

    Why? Because the schedule to handle from now on is ‘cooking’-related content on MuTube!

    Kim Iseo came to Sua and said.

    “Sua, we’re not starting the first filming right away, so just think of it comfortably. Today, we’re just going to call a chef to cook together and check what the visuals are like.”

    “I understand.”

    Sua nodded and thought.

    Actually, I’m confident I could do the first filming right away, though!

    ‘I want to cook soon! I’m hungry!’

    While Sua was thinking that, people started coming and sitting at the table opposite the kitchen one by one.

    Familiar faces. Yeonju and Seonil.

    Yeonju took out her phone first.

    “Hey, Sua-ya! Look over here!”

    “Huh?”

    Click─!

    “I can’t not take a picture of such a pretty sight, right? Yay, one more Sua photo added to my gallery.”

    “…If you came, just eat quietly and leave.”

    “Quietly? Quietlyyyyyy?”

    Kim Seonil gave her a look from the side, but Seo Yeonju raised her voice even louder. That too, very confidently.

    “Sua is cooking it herself, how can I eat quietly? I have to eat it with constant exclamations of admiration! I’ll eat it deliciously even if Sua gives me trash.”

    “I hate being with you because my ears hurt every time.”

    Seonil said that and looked at Kim Iseo.

    “Representative, so who’s the chef coming today?”

    “Ah, that’s….”

    Kim Iseo stopped talking. It was because there was no need to explain it with words. With a bang, the door opened and someone appeared.

    At the same time.

    “Huh?”

    “Huh!”

    “Huh…!”

    Everyone except Sua was surprised.

    Because they guessed the identity of the person who appeared.

    Seo Yeonju shouted with wide eyes.

    “Chef Feder? It is! Chef Feder!”

    “Hahaha, hello everyone!”

    A Western-looking Caucasian with an incredibly tall height, the pronunciation itself is excellent, but with a very awkward accent.

    The other party was a chef from Italy. It was Feder.

    .

    .

    .

    .

    .

    A little later.

    Swish─ swish─

    Now that Sua started taking out cooking utensils, including pots, Seo Yeonju quietly whispered to the representative.

    “Representative, you scouted Feder? Aren’t you trying too hard?”

    “It’s related to Sua’s MuTube channel, so we have to do this much. We have to make sure we do the verification thoroughly even if we only do it once.”

    “…Wow, even so. I didn’t expect to see Feder here. I’ve only seen him a lot on variety shows.”

    As Seo Yeonju said, Feder was a chef who dominated cooking variety shows in Korea.

    He’s from Italy and good at cooking, and even speaks Korean well? The broadcasting station can’t help but love him. He is gaining popular popularity with a friendly image.

    At this time, Feder stuck to Sua.

    “Oh, Sua-ssi! I’m a big fan!”

    “It’s not ‘Sua,’ it’s Sua.”

    “Sua, Sua…. Ugh, it’s difficult for me to pronounce! Hahahaha! So, what are you going to make from now on?”

    “Today, I’m going to make pasta.”

    “Oh! Pasta in front of me?”

    Feder himself was a well-rounded person, and he definitely had variety show experience. Just looking at him responding greatly to Sua’s words and making the atmosphere good showed that.

    However, at the same time, there was also a hint of treating Sua like a child. He had no expectations for Sua’s cooking.

    Feder said.

    “Try to make it as comfortable as possible! There are common mistakes that Koreans make when making pasta, and Sua-ssi’s pasta will probably be the same. I’ll point out a few of those things after it’s finished.”

    “Yesssss.”

    Sua let Feder’s words go in one ear and concentrated.

    Pasta, pasta, pasta…. How do you make it?

    But the worry was only for a moment. She remembered it soon.

    A feeling where you can think of the recipe in your head just by saying the name of the dish?

    ‘Alright. Let’s do tomato pasta. More than that, this feeling of becoming somehow competent is so addicting?’

    Sua thought so and started cooking.

    Bubbling, bubbling─

    She boiled the noodles in a pot of boiling water, and made the tomato sauce herself instead of using store-bought ones. In her free time, she sliced many ingredients, including mushrooms.

    Chop chop chop chop chop─!

    The problem is that the knife skills are too precise.

    The feeling of disassembling knitting stitch by stitch? The feeling of straining it through a sieve? Sua’s knife skills were that certain.

    So much so that even Seo Yeonju, who had never gotten her hands wet with water, sensed that it was unusual at first glance.

    “…!”

    In an atmosphere that was slightly different from before, Sua made pasta. She put the noodles and sauce onto the pan, making sure that the sauce was properly coated.

    Sizzle─! Rustle─!

    It was amazing.

    “….”

    Sua’s arms are moving so frantically, but not a single drop of sauce splattered outside the pan. It shows how precisely she is cooking.

    There is such a saying in the world.

    If someone makes something look so easy, it’s because that person is too skilled.

    “….”

    That’s how the atmosphere was at the scene right now.

    ‘Was that so easy?’ ‘It just ends when you put your hand on it and tap it, right?’ ‘…Is she a human meal kit or something?’

    Because Sua did it so easily, it felt unrealistic, and at the same time, it looked easy? It’s like you can come out and make pasta right now if I say, “You, come out here and make pasta!”

    It was a level of skill that gave that illusion.

    In the meantime, Sua moved the pasta to a plate. In the meantime, the plating is very luxurious. It wouldn’t be awkward even if a price tag of tens of thousands of won was attached.

    Sua handed it to Feder.

    “Please try it.”

    “Ah, I will.”

    Feder finally came to his senses.

    He was staring blankly at Sua handling the cooking utensils.

    “….”

    Tomato pasta made by Sua.

    It looked quite appetizing on the outside.

    She really made this herself? To the point where you think so.

    But he tried to deny it even while holding the fork.

    ‘Proficiency with cooking utensils is naturally learned if you repeat it. The important thing is the original taste of the pasta.’

    Slurp─!

    After taking a bite like that.

    “….”

    Clang─!

    Feder ended up dropping the fork.

    “…madre?”

    (…Mother?)

    It tasted like the pasta he ate in his hometown when he was young.
