Chapter 92 "I Live Alone" (Part 1) Coldy is alone...

At the end of the game, Fu Shuo Shun and the other two asked Jiang Tinghan to help them write their new song "CBZ" and even showed Jiang Tinghan the version written by Kwon Ji Yong.

Jiang Tinghan found it quite fun, so she ordered some fried chicken and asked the clerk to pack it up. She then patted Kwon Ji-yong on the shoulder and said, "Oppa, since you have cash, you can pay the bill."

Kwon Ji-yong slumped his shoulders, a somewhat helpless smile appearing on his face: "You..."

Have you had dinner yet?

Jiang Tinghan shook his head: "No, I stayed for a while and then came straight here."

She swallowed back the word "home" that was on the tip of her tongue, after all, she had said on the show that she would come over as soon as her schedule ended.

Kwon Ji-yong quickened his pace to pay the bill, ordering not only fried chicken but also other hot dishes, as if he wanted to fatten Jiang Tinghan up.

While he was away, Jiang Tinghan and the other two had already filmed a medley. Since both sides were promoting their songs, they filmed "CBZ" first, followed by "Crazy Kingdom." Both songs are upbeat and fun, like popping candy, and they actually went surprisingly well together when medleyed together.

Both sides were learning dances on the spot. Li Shuomin first grabbed a non-existent microphone and passionately sang, "Youth is now!"

Then Boo Seung-kwan, Kang Ting-han, and Kwon Soon-young jumped into the frame and started dancing this passionate dance. Lee Seok-min turned around and found that his position had been taken. He immediately spread his hands and showed a very incredulous expression. However, his two good teammates did not care about their team spirit at all and kicked him out. It was more like a skit than a challenge.

In a fit of anger, Li Shuomin made the decision to betray the group and started dancing to "Crazy Kingdom." Jiang Tinghan immediately joined in, and the other two hesitated for a moment before joining the betrayal, dancing the bunny dance that the choreographer specially designed to make Coldy cuter. They used their hands, waist, hips, and legs, and even made two "V" signs on their heads to form bunny ears, making it a perfect way to be cute.

[Hahaha, Coldy's jump in this part was perfectly natural, but your three jumps made me want to laugh so hard!]

[But he really danced very well! I even felt that Boo Seoksoon was putting in more effort in this part than in his own song, hahaha, what's going on with you guys!]

These three are so perfect for Crazy Kingdom! Coldy's twist is adorable, and you guys' twist is fiery! If you like it so much, please wear the full outfits for a cover next time!

[Do male idols get more excited when they dance to these cutesy girl group dances? They're so alluring!]

I'm starting to wonder if it was you guys who wanted to jump in, or if Coldy came to you to challenge you!

Hahaha, Coldy actually has such great choreography! He's good at dancing in a cute style too, Coldy. This song also sounds cute and childlike.

[Really? But the theme is dissing, and this Alice is supposed to be wielding an axe to chop down zombies, is she really that cute?]

[So cute! Coldy is cute no matter what he does!]

[Our girl group was really into their dance when they were dancing to boy group songs! I feel like Coldy could seamlessly join BSS, he danced so well! Absolutely amazing!]

[Coldy, who dances to boy band songs, is my husband... Let's get married, Coldy!]

[GD: ???]

[What are you doing? GD is only temporarily away, and you're already trying to defile the harem? Queen G-Dragon will be angry!]

[kkkk This video kept me laughing, the kids are really talented!]

[Not just Cha, I laughed every second of this episode! It was so much fun, I wish you guys could stay longer!]

[GD would be desperate if he did that; he's already exhausted. Let him go home!]

The thought of two people holding hands and going home together after get off work automatically makes me smile.

They even brought fried chicken home to enjoy a delicious late-night snack together.

[It's dinner, oh Mooni, you must be exhausted. Drinking so much alcohol without even having dinner isn't good for your health.]

I think a little less is fine, go back and rest!

Since the fans had said so, the group simply said goodbye, splitting into two groups. Jiang Tinghan and Quan Zhilong got into the same car and went home.

However, when they left, the three seemed quite reluctant to part, turning back every few steps and saying "Bye-bye, hyung" several times, which made Kwon Ji-yong smile again.

Upon returning, Kwon Ji-yong immediately lay down on the sofa, watching Jiang Tinghan eat dinner. It was as if his soul had already been exhaled from his breath, while Haha walked around his legs.

Jiang Tinghan crunched on a piece of crispy skin, and seeing that Quan Zhilong looked like he had exhausted all his social energy and was too tired to even speak, she could roughly guess what he had been through.

A smile played on her lips: "Want to go for a walk with the dog?"

Kwon Ji-yong suddenly stood up, took a step in place like a ghost, and then fell back onto the sofa, grumbling, "Let's go tomorrow, I'm so tired, haha, just bear with it for our sake."

Jiang Tinghan said slowly, "Actually, I've already made my escape."

Kwon Ji-yong: "Don't... tease me again! You have time to walk the dog but no time for dinner. Honey, you can't keep neglecting your health like this."

Jiang Tinghan: "Let's not even talk about the second brother, this oppa who drinks beer and liquor so much that he's swaying when he walks."

Kwon Ji-yong: "No way, even if I don't drink, I still walk unsteadily."

Jiang Tinghan paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "You're right."

On January 18, 2025, WK1 issued an official announcement that all eight members of Lumera had renewed their contracts.

Although fans had expected it, they were still overjoyed when they actually saw the announcement.

Ahhh, that's great... I thought Coldy was going to go solo, but she's still in the group.

Coldy released a mini album, and the others also have solo track plans. Lumera is getting better and better!

[Our best captain!]

We're no longer a limited-time group formed through a talent show! Let's walk together as long as we can, sisters!

The contract is still renewed for two years, but the amount will definitely change. Jiang Tinghan's share of the profits is now very considerable. Heaven knows how heartbroken she must have been when she wrote so many hit songs in the past two years, but her share of the profits is still the same as when she first debuted.

Perhaps WK1 thought that GC and Jiang Tinghan could compare their contracts as soon as they got home, so it gave Jiang Tinghan almost the same treatment as Quan Zhilong. The only difference was that Quan Zhilong had a slightly higher shareholding. Now Jiang Tinghan has also been promoted to a higher level and is considered a small shareholder of WK1.

With a large renewal fee and a share of the profits from the new album, Jiang Tinghan's savings suddenly increased again. She was in high spirits and even had more energy to promote her new song.

The next episode of "Good Day" is a Lumera special, scheduled to be filmed in early February. They are currently available, and the end of the year will be a long-awaited break, but Kwon Ji-yong's schedule is full.

At the end of January, he dyed his pink hair green and was preparing to film the music video for his new album's title track, "Too bad." He was also invited to participate in Chanel's Spring/Summer 2025 fashion show and will soon be performing at a charity gala in Paris with his bandmate Taeyang.

In short, it's going to be a long-distance relationship for a while.

Kwon Ji-yong felt particularly sorry for Jiang Tinghan. If Jiang Tinghan weren't an LV ambassador, Chanel would definitely have invited her too. However, he's already a mature boyfriend and wouldn't be so unbearable just because they've been apart for a week.

Just minutes before he made those confident statements, he was still pestering Jiang Tinghan to take him to the airport.

In the end, of course, it was still given away, but the price was that she had to wear the black kitten woolen hat that Jiang Tinghan had specified.

Jiang Tinghan's gaze swept over Kwon Ji-yong's green scarf, which matched the color of his hair, as well as his bright blue shirt and brown jacket. Finally, his gaze lingered on Kwon Ji-yong's cat-ear beanie for a few seconds, and the corners of his mouth silently curved up: "Cute."

Kwon Ji-yong leaned closer to the mirror and touched the label on his hat: "Oh dear, I'm past the age of being cute."

The way it peeked out was just like a cat's, which made Jiang Tinghan even more excited. He teased, "I wonder who was saying they were Yebo's age not long ago."

Kwon Ji-yong said in a serious tone, "Cute is not the same as pretty."

Jiang Tinghan: "Alright, now that you're of Yibo's age, can we go out?"

Kwon Ji-yong leaned his face closer to Jiang Tinghan and said, "Kiss me when we go out."

Jiang Tinghan gently kissed Quan Zhilong's cheek.

He was clearly not satisfied yet, so he bent down slightly and kissed Jiang Tinghan on the lips before saying with satisfaction, "That's a real kiss."

Jiang Tinghan kissed Quan Zhilong again: "Here's one for you for free. Now you can go, right?"

Kwon Ji-yong laughed: "Yes!"

Not long after, we arrived at Incheon Airport. Looking out the window, the airport was packed with media and fans.

The bodyguard opened the car door for Young Master Quan. Quan Zhilong put on a mask and got out of the car. He then turned around, bent down slightly, looked into the car, and waved to Jiang Tinghan.

"Remember to eat well."

Jiang Tinghan saw that he clearly wanted everyone to know there was someone in the car, and felt a little helpless. She dragged out her words, "I know, Oppa too. Take good care of yourself in Paris."

Kwon Ji-yong revealed a pair of smiling eyes: "Arasoo Arasoo."

The car door slammed shut, but the fans' screams grew even louder as they all started talking at once.

"Is someone in the car? Is it Coldy?"

"There couldn't be anyone else but her! Kwon Ji-yong has been abroad hundreds of times, and Han-jie even saw him off at the airport. You love her so much!"

"Oh dear, why are you still so reluctant to say goodbye after getting off the bus? Didn't you chat enough the whole way?"

"You two are so sweet it's killing me."

As soon as Kwon Ji-yong left, everyone lost interest in the discussion and immediately followed him, with flashes going off non-stop.

The man himself also casually walked out of GD's signature style. In the following days, he gained a lot of attention at the Chanel show with his mint green hair and old-money style suit. He also sang "Good Boy" on a new stage, which sparked a wave of nostalgia. Many of the tens of thousands of audience members in Paris were screaming for Kwon Ji-yong. The official account also once again confirmed his status as the "King of Kpop".

Almost every day, GD is on the front page of news, and Jiang Tinghan has seen quite a few of them. Some are discussing "GD has lost weight so quickly", some are discussing the cat hat he wore at the airport, and some are discussing Kwon Ji-yong taking a photo with the president of Jack & Leopard at Chanel, wearing a watch on his wrist that is a collaboration with Jack & Leopard and is worth tens of millions of RMB.

At the airport that day, Jiang Tinghan came to see him off and even made it onto the trending list. Kwon Ji-yong's cat hat was quickly identified as being from the Cider brand, and it was priced at less than 100 yuan. Many fans were so excited that they placed an order that day. There aren't many fashion items like this that are both high-quality and inexpensive and appear on GD!

Whether it's "GD + fashion" or "GD + performance," the popularity remains consistently high.

Jiang Tinghan took on a variety show called "I Live Alone" during this period. As the name suggests, this show is about filming a day in the life of an idol. If it had been a day earlier or later, Jiang Tinghan probably wouldn't have been able to film it because she has hardly ever lived alone. She used to live in a dormitory, and later she lived with her boyfriend. It also requires the right time, place and people to film it.

Coincidentally, among the guests in the "I Live Alone" observation room were Kian84 and Code Kunst, who participated in the filming of "Good Day," and Kwon Ji-yong himself quite enjoys watching this variety show.

For "I Alone," Coldy's participation in their own variety show is incredible! Not only will they get to see Coldy for a day, but they'll also get to see GD's home!

Although there has been no official confirmation that the two are living together, judging from the clues in the behind-the-scenes footage of GD's "Power," it seems that they are indeed living together. Coldy has even been photographed walking the dog, and now Haha is a well-known celebrity dog.

Brands have even approached us about collaborating with Haha's animated character, but the two cat owners refused. The reason is that the collaboration with Princess Zoa hasn't even been released yet, and there's not even a hint of Prince Iye. How could the useless little prince Haha dare to defy his superiors?

Actually, we've both been too busy lately to link the names; let's wait until we have some free time.

The program aired in February.

The show started with the regulars exchanging pleasantries, but soon got down to business. MC Jun Hyun-moo took the initiative to ask, "Do you know who our guest is today?"

Code Kunst: "Wow, this is a very important guest."

Kian84, a huge GD fan, was already showing a change in expression: "Alias, I feel like no one would not know this person now. It's like a miracle that has descended upon K-pop today."

Park Ye-na: "Oh my, this is really something to look forward to."

Another MC, Key, is from the boy group SHINee and is a senior member of the second generation. He also praised him, saying, "He is a very admirable junior."

Jun Hyun-moo: "Yes, leading the group to sweep three awards at the 2023 MAMA Awards, and winning two more awards in 2024. Currently holding the record for highest-selling female solo album and the highest number one album... In short, holding all the records. Within two years of debuting, he has become a well-known copyright tycoon, capable of writing lyrics, composing music, singing, and dancing. He is known as the 'Purple Star' of K-pop, and his name is even more famous than the title of 'Ace'—"

"Coldy!"

There were so many notes that the host even had to refer to cheat sheets.

The video introduced Coldy, featuring a scene from the "Waves" music video where he wears a navy coat and gives the camera a domineering look; a montage of his stage performances of "Always You" and "Crazy Kingdom"; his unforgettable performance of "Wildfire" with his red hair at his first concert; and his stunning performances of "Snow Nails" and "Cold" at the MAMA awards, accompanied by mentions of the songs' numerous achievements and footage of him accepting several year-end awards. Just watching it was astonishing—"How can someone be so amazing!"

Welcome, Coldy!

Jiang Tinghan walked into the observation room, bowed slightly to the residents, and smiled faintly like a gardenia: "Oh my, I'm Coldy from Lumera."

Later, a line was added to her profile: "If she were to fill out a job application, her resume would be overflowing with information, and HR would have to beg her to stay."

[Ohhhhhh! Here it comes!!!]

[Hehe, this job description is so insightful! Who wouldn't want an employee like Coldy? wk1, don't you think?]

[wk1: Stop talking, stop talking! Coldy is a partner now, he has shares!]

[After watching the video, I realized how long I've been with Coldy; it feels like the final night just happened yesterday.]

[Haha, sometimes winning too many awards and records isn't a good thing. When the host read this part, I thought he was rapping!]

He didn't say enough. To talk about all the records Coldy broke, it would take several minutes. He has so many No. 1s, and even more if you include Lumera!

[How did you come up with the idea of ​​putting Coldy on "I Live Alone"? I'd like to ask Coldy: Have you ever lived alone?]

[Haha, it's said that this was filmed when GD went to Paris. How can her husband being away on a business trip not be considered a form of living alone?]

"Coldy's Day" has started airing, and the opening scene, of course, is the classic one of waking up and going makeup-free.

The alarm clock beeped, and the blanket on the bed, which had been puffed up like a silkworm cocoon, stirred as if it had turned over. A beautiful, snow-white hand reached out from under the blanket, picked up a phone, and then the head that had been tucked under the blanket also popped out. After glancing at the time, it put the phone down again, pulled its head back in, and continued to sleep soundly. However, a few strands of hair that had faded to grayish-green stubbornly appeared in the frame.

In addition, the camera also shows a panoramic view of the entire room. The curtains are not drawn, so it is very bright, and the bed is bathed in golden sunlight, which seems to have turned the light blue quilt into a golden yellow as well.

The room was uniquely decorated, with a 1.8-meter bed, two pillows, a quilt, and a group photo on the bedside table—not of people, but of two kittens and a large dog. A geometric color block painting hung on the wall, and a black carpet was placed next to the bed. There was a uniquely shaped table with a charming and artistic feel, and a curved cabinet pieced together. There were only a few books scattered on the cabinet, but it seemed that there were more notebooks arranged in a row. There were also flower arrangements and aromatherapy, making it look very high-end.

The camera panned over and ten minutes passed, and the person on the bed didn't move at all, still sleeping in a croissant shape.

Later, a line was added: "Coldy failed to get up."

They even played "Dear, Please Wake Up" for a few seconds as background music.

Jiang Tinghan, watching from the observation room, felt ashamed and lowered his head slightly.

“Oh,” Code kunst said first, “this is probably a familiar state for many people, especially in winter, when you really don’t want to get out of bed.”

Qi An 84: "Well, that's why I set my alarm a little earlier, to give myself a little chance to stay in bed."

Although some people sympathized and tried to smooth things over, Jiang Tinghan still wanted to defend herself: "I will get up on time when I have a job, but I am more lazy when I don't have work."

Jun Hyun-moo: "I understand, but Coldyxi, don't you find the sunlight too bright when you sleep without drawing the curtains?"

Jiang Tinghan countered, "Isn't this also a way to help people get up?"

Park Yeon-na: "But it didn't work at all."

"..." Jiang Tinghan lowered his head again, but quickly cheered up and said seriously, "That's why I wrote the song 'Dear, Please Wake Up', so that my fans would keep an eye on me and make me get up earlier."

The guests all smiled, and Lee Jang-hoon asked the question he had been wanting to ask: "Why is a light blue four-piece bedding set paired with a black carpet? I never thought of this combination before. Is this an artist's aesthetic?"

Key: "Ah, I wanted to ask that too. Usually, people would choose a color like off-white, right?"

Jiang Tinghan: "Oh my, we—we have cats and dogs at home, they often walk around the bed, and black is more resistant to dirt."

She just blurted it out without thinking, and realized what she was saying the moment it left her mouth, and continued to finish the sentence naturally.

The other guests' smiles were more teasing, ignoring her slip of the tongue: "So that's the practical reason..."

But fans won't overlook that.

[Oh, oh, oh, us! Judgment! You're not living alone at all! Which roommate are you living with, "us"?]

[Kkk, what a Waterloo for Coldy! Coldy, who is always known for his caution and high EQ on TV shows, actually said the wrong thing. GD, your power is truly amazing!]

[There are cats and dogs~ It's iye, zoa, and haha! Living together is definitely confirmed~]

[Wow, they're a family with three kids! And there are pictures of their furry friends on the bedside table, so heartwarming.]

[Haha, what a simple and honest reason for choosing a rug! Cats are fine, but dogs always manage to get themselves dirty for no reason. If they then get their dirt on an expensive white rug, that would be really frustrating.]

[GC's bedroom revealed! It's pretty much as I imagined. It's definitely not simple. It's clearly the bedroom of an upper-class person.]

[Everything inside must be expensive, and although it's not common, it's all very beautiful. Each piece of furniture has a unique beauty. The two of them dating is so pleasing to the eye, in every way.]

[Unnie is going to sleep forever, I feel hopeless. Even looking at Coldy curled up in the blankets, I think she's super cute.]

[They're so cute! They look like silkworms!]

Twenty minutes later, Jiang Tinghan finally got up in the video. She opened her sleepy eyes, grabbed a handful of her messy hair, and instead of going to the bathroom, she walked out of the room and, like a programmed robot, poured cat and dog food, cleaned the litter box, and tidied up the dog pee pad.

The comments section was filled with praise for Jiang Tinghan as a "super responsible cat owner," and many people were excitedly shouting things like "Iye baby, Zoa baby, haha, silly big boy, let Auntie give you a kiss," and "Has Zoa gotten fat again? Haha, he's so big now, and Iye has a big stomach too."

Then, they saw Jiang Tinghan wash his hands and then go back to bed.

【Hello? Still sleeping?】

[This is really Coldy acting out my role; when I'm resting, I can never get enough sleep.]

[This is chilling! Did Coldy really wake up just now? Or was he sleepwalking?]

[Hahaha, even while sleepwalking, this owner still remembers to feed the poop scooper? I give this owner 100 points!]

Coldy is sleeping so soundly, I want to sleep too, may you be the reincarnation of the God of Sleep!

[As expected of Coldy, he doesn't show the high-energy side of himself as an artist on camera. All that self-discipline and starting the day with boundless energy? Forget about it!]

[She's even written something like "Life's too tiring, just jump into the Han River," my unnie is all about being real.]

Can I say it? It feels like the husband is away working while the wife is comfortably sleeping at home.

[How can you talk like that? Your wife is also working on a TV show, okay?]

[This is hilarious! How can you portray the romance of two rich people as if they were a pitiful young couple who came to the city to work and are worried about making ends meet every day?]

[Won't he just sleep all day like that? Sleep through the entire episode? That would make the appearance fee way too easy.]

[Truly making money while lying down]

It wasn't that exaggerated. Jiang Tinghan only stayed in bed for five minutes before getting up. She finally washed her face and brushed her teeth, then leaned close to the camera to show everyone her fair and rosy complexion without any makeup.

The audience held their breath for a moment. My God, how is this any different from her stage appearance? She's already stunningly beautiful even without makeup.

With so many honors, such strong abilities, and numerous self-composed songs, there's so much to say. As a result, fans are mentioning Coldy's looks less and less. But in the beginning, she attracted a lot of fans with just one stunning face in an official photo!

Thinking back to when this woman was called a "pretty face," it's quite funny now. If she was a pretty face, she must have been the kind of high-quality vase that would hurt if you hit it, and wouldn't break no matter how much you smashed it.

"Okay, skincare is done. Let's make breakfast." Jiang Tinghan brought the camera to the kitchen, put on an apron, and said, "I don't know what everyone will eat, but I usually boil a few dumplings in the morning."

She took out some frozen dumplings from the freezer, set them aside, started pouring water into a pot and waiting for it to boil, then looked at the camera crew and asked politely, "Have you eaten?"

The staff were slightly shocked to see Jiang Tinghan acting as if he was going to cook their portion too; they had never seen many celebrities do this before.

He quickly waved his hand, indicating that he didn't need it.

Jiang Tinghan understood: "Ah... I haven't eaten. If you're eating dumplings, I can cook more."

The photographer was so anxious he almost spoke, so he quickly looked for the producer and, after getting permission, immediately said, "I've eaten, no need to trouble Coldyxi."

Jiang Tinghan nodded: "Okay."

She cooked eight dumplings: four corn and pork dumplings and four fish and shrimp dumplings. She served them with a chili soy sauce dipping sauce. The dumplings glistened with a fiery red sheen of oil, and you could almost smell the spicy aroma. They looked very appetizing.

Even the regulars in the observation room were amazed.

"Coldyxi is so thoughtful."

Jiang Tinghan didn't find this surprising at all, and said calmly, "After all, breakfast is very important. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day."

Qi'an84: "Does Coldyxi often make breakfast for herself? She seems to be very good at it."

Jiang Tinghan: "I'll do it when I have time, but I'm often not free."

Park Lena couldn't help but laugh: "That's true, popular artists like Coldyxi must be very busy."

Besides "hahahaha," the comments section was also filled with question marks.

【No, Coldy, what skincare routine did you do? All I see is you using face wash.】

This isn't skincare, this is natural beauty!

[I never expected Coldy to say something like, "I'm the first person to cook breakfast for the staff."]

Wow, Coldy is such a loving person!

[I couldn't stop laughing. Don't forget that Coldy is ultimately from Northeast China, and he has some of the unique enthusiasm of people from Northeast China.]

[Oh dear, eating is a very important thing for Chinese people, and it can't be taken lightly.]

[Wouldn't that mean GD would have breakfast as soon as he woke up? That's great...]

Just imagining having breakfast together, it's such a simple and happy memory.

[Would GD eat dumplings with caviar like he does with fried eggs and mashed potatoes? Or with truffles?]

The thought of Coldy sleeping in an expensive bed and using pricey furniture, yet eating cheap and affordable frozen dumplings, feels somewhat disjointed. Finally, I have something in common with my idol: I also eat frozen dumplings.

[If the cameraman won't eat, I will! I want to eat it! It smells so good, my mouth is watering!]

[My appetite is still too small; I can eat twenty dumplings in one meal.]

[It's breakfast after all...]

[The dumplings Han Jie is eating are wholesale frozen dumplings. She sincerely invites everyone to come to Northeast China to eat dumplings! Northeastern dumplings are really delicious; the taste is unlike anything else. You have to try them to know!]

-----------------------

Author's note: I'm craving Northeastern dumplings... I just had Guizhou sour soup hot pot tonight. It seems I really need good food to survive.

There might be no update on the 30th, or it might be in the afternoon or evening! I think I'll be back from Mama's place very late and too tired to write anymore [poor face].
