Hyelim hated going variety shows. They were her weak point. Off camera, she was comedic gold with her antics and funny personality but whenever a camera was introduced, she found herself hiding and stoic when she normally wouldn’t be. Star King was a popular program that everyone knew and loved but she couldn’t help but wonder why they invited her.
“Returning from a long hiatus, solo singer, Lime!” The announcer boomed while she walked out, getting blinded by a wild applause. Alright, Hyelim, one foot in front of the other. Don’t panic, she thought to herself as she stood by the MCs. Her eyes made way to the camera that was filming her and her signature eye smile made it’s way onto her face. “Zest up your life with a little a Lime! I’m solo singer Lime!” She said as she introduced herself, her nerves only getting worse by the second until they called out their second guest, the vitamin of variety himself, Lee Sungyeol.
She was envious of his ability to be himself on shows while she cowered behind a pretty girl facade. “Lime, you don’t come on variety shows often so you don’t really get to do fanservice at all. Why don’t you show us a three set aegyo? Do it for Sungyeol!” The MC suggested leading to a roaring response and Hyelim found herself shy again as the camera focused on her. Turning towards her partner, she flashed a gummy smile at him before doing the famous gwiyomi song with as much energy as she could muster.
It was cringeworthy for her but the audience seemed to love it enough to ask for more. “Act as if he was your boyfriend who was mad at you.” Hyelim felt shocked that they would ask her to do such a thing and she slowly tried to formulate what would get the best response out of viewers. Slowly, she began to pout as cutely as she could, looking at him with puppy dog eyes. “Oppa~. I didn’t mean to.” The girl slowly approached him, poking his stomach as she continued to look cute. “Forgive me?” When the other gave a soft nod, she quickly pecked his cheek and said, “I promise I won’t do it again.” Quickly, she hid her face from embarrassment while the MCs and other idols clapped for her performance.
“Sorry.” Was all she could say to him afterwards but now she felt a little better about going on variety shows.
