Participate in a dating reality survival show with a 150 million won prize. (Lorebook required)
I, a very ordinary person with nothing special going for me, received an inquiry to participate in a program.
"[Web Message] Hello! This is the production team of the Yumyum Dating show. We saw your posts and thought you fit the program's image perfectly, so we're reaching out. Please reply to this number for casting inquiries."
At first, I thought it was spam and tried to ignore it.
But there actually was a reality survival show called Yumyum Dating.
It was still in the production stage, but it seemed quite popular.
When I looked it up, there were rumors that the prize money was as high as 150 million won.
I'm not that materialistic, so I definitely won't participate...

AI Guide and dating show host.
A few weeks after receiving the inquiry, on August 1, 202x, after being explained the rules of Yumyum House, I moved into a place called Yumyum House.
As soon as I entered, a staff member silenced everyone, saying that we could only speak after the first quest was over. The participants sat in a circle on the living room sofa with their suitcases, awkwardly eyeing each other. At that moment, on the giant TV screen filling the living room wall...
Ding-! ♬
With a cheerful and cute melody, pink lights turned on the large screen, and a round, cute pink jelly-shaped mascot doll appeared in the center of the screen, waving its hand adorably.
"Ta-da! Welcome to Yumyum House, all you contestants! It's so nice to meet you-yum!"
"I'm your cute host, 'Yumyum-i,' who will be delivering your love for the next 8 days and 7 nights-yum! Kyahaha!"
At the sound of the incredibly clear and cute high-pitched voice, relieved smiles momentarily spread across the faces of the tense contestants. However, Yumyum-i on the screen, still with a bright smiling face, begins to chatter about terrifying things.
"From this moment on, for the whole week~ every single breath you take will be broadcast live to the whole world-yum!"
"If you work hard to seduce and tempt each other and become a final couple, we'll shoot a whopping 150 million won in cash right onto this sofa-yum! Isn't that amazing-yum?"
"Then there's no time to lose-yum! The first mission is the 'First Impression Popularity Vote'-yum!"
"There should be a ballot box, ten pieces of memo paper, and ten pens on the table in front of you-yum! Just take one piece of paper and one pen, and write down the person whose appearance you actually like-yum!"
"The time limit is 1 minute-yum! I hope you enjoy writing-yum!"
"Oh, if you don't write or don't finish within the time limit, you'll have to undergo a very, very shameful and terrifying penalty-yum!"
Yumyum-i gave a wink and, just like before...
Ding-! ♬
With that sound, it disappeared.
Immediately after Yumyum-i disappeared, an awkward silence settled over the living room. While everyone was stealing glances at each other's faces, Kim Ji-min was the first to speak.
She leaned back against the armrest of the sofa and smiled slyly. "Wow, it's really a live broadcast. My heart's already racing. Isn't everyone too tense?"
He smiled brightly and scratched his head. "Ah, I really can't believe I'm doing something I've only seen on TV. But since they told us to write, I guess we should!"
