n country for over a decade, Ye Yin became a top idol, CF queen, and hot topic generator in Korea within two years of her debut.
Rumors within YG Entertainment spoke of her legendary status, ...
Chapter 77 Is this jealousy?
On the day of the official recording of the "Lollipop" MV, when Ye-eun saw the pile of colorful clothes and the hairstyle design given by the stylist, the thought of running away began to flood her mind.
She took a step back unconsciously, her lips trembling: "I heard that CL, you have made a great contribution to this hair design?"
The next moment, Li Cailin grabbed her neck and pinned her down on the chair. She smiled at her friend who was only one day younger than her and said, "Why did Ye-eun suddenly call me CL? Are you dissatisfied with me?"
Ye-eun pursed her lips. Her pupils trembled when she saw the stylist next to her start flipping through the style book. "Are you going to do this to my head?"
Braids like sky rockets, double ponytails like strings of candied haws, beetle hair like pot lids, and even...
Ye-eun pointed to the most outrageous hairstyle with a shaking hand, "Isn't this the hairstyle of a jinx?"
Li Cailin and the YG stylist looked at each other and asked in confusion, "What is the Jinx hairstyle?"
It's the hairstyle of your subordinate who plans to make all the hair stand up and make it thick and rough! Ye-eun shook her head firmly: "No, I absolutely won't do it."
"Ye'en, think about the style of our group and don't care about what others think. There is not only one kind of beauty. We are the most unique!" Li Cailin patted Ye'en on the shoulder with encouragement on his face.
Ye-en refused to be fooled by her and shook her head frantically, "No, no, no, I don't care about other people's opinions. I also support the diversity of beauty, and I am not opposed to being unique. We need visual impact, but it doesn't have to be so special. This hairstyle and makeup are really hard to comment on!"
She couldn't imagine herself appearing in public with a mop head and pink eye and lip makeup. Would people's reaction be surprise or shock...
"I, Lee Ye-eun, refuse to be a test bed for my hairstyle!" She looked at Lee Chae-rin, Kong Min-ji, and Park Bom, who all had normal makeup and hairstyles, and then at Park Sandara, who also had a difficult expression on her face. Both of them were in tears, "Why did you sacrifice the two of us?"
The stylist looked at Ye-eun’s resistance and finally compromised, “Then let’s change this broom head to something else.”
In the end, the middle part of Ye-en's hair, which was surprisingly thick, was taken out of the upper part. The stylist used complicated techniques to braid it into a two-way flat knot and then let it fall behind her head. Two small braids were tied on the left and right sides and then let them fall beside her ears. The pink hair rope was connected and braided into a snake knot and then circled to design it into a candy shape.
In addition, because she refused to wear all-pink makeup and instead wore eye makeup in various candy colors, her already beautiful eyes looked even more special. After the overall shape was completed, it actually added a special beauty to its strangeness.
Park Sandara also added five small buns. The small beads in five colors attached to the sides of the buns looked very cute. After the adjustment, she no longer used the same color makeup just for the brand, which made her already beautiful face even more perfect.
Although the sky-high braid is still retained, it is no longer the monotonous look of completely wrapping the other hair with black hair. The gradient hair rope makes the sky-high braid unique.
The two looked at themselves in the mirror and breathed a sigh of relief. The hairstylist's idea of making their hairstyle unique was retained, while the candy-colored features of the LG phone were also shown. Most importantly, without the death makeup, the special hairstyle also looked distinctive and beautiful.
"Ouni, how come you know so many knotting methods? That's amazing!" She touched her hair that had been turned into candy earrings and felt extremely magical.
The hairstylist who was braiding her hair smiled, feeling relieved and satisfied with her work. As a fresh graduate, she was under a lot of pressure to braid hair for an artist for the first time. "I learned a little bit of braiding skills when I went to China before."
"How amazing! It can actually be used on the hair." Yien also smiled at her and nodded. When she stood up and walked, the hair beside her ears would still sway slightly with her bigger movements. She tried hard to adapt to the "hair earrings" hanging beside her earlobes.
Kong Minzhi's style was the simplest. After she finished putting on her makeup and changing into her first set of clothes, she had already finished her makeup early and sat aside waiting for a free stylist to paint her nails. However, she had to put on makeup and change the styles of 10 people in two groups at the same time, so almost all the staff were busy.
"Wait for the nail polish, or you can just apply it yourself, they're all solid colors anyway!"
Li Cailin has her own favorite makeup style, so she has done her own makeup since she was a child. She did the makeup this time as well. Seeing her sister waiting in line at the back and teachers Cody were too busy to take care of this small matter, she added another layer of eyeliner on herself while talking to the two of them.
"Yes!" After hearing the captain's words, the two of them went straight to the nail polish prepared for them. In order to match the original makeup of each person, corresponding colors were prepared. Yi-eun was holding red nail polish and was about to lower her head to paint her nails, but she heard Quan Zhilong's surprised voice behind her, "Oh my, Yi-eun, your hairstyle..."
Ye-eun's body froze, and it felt like an eternity had passed before she turned her head away. Quan Zhilong was wearing a pink suit. The bright color looked strangely harmonious on him, and even made him look whiter. She lowered her eyebrows and asked, "What are you doing? Doesn't it look good?"
When Quan Zhilong saw the cute makeup on her face, his heart softened. He walked over and smiled and hooked the hair beside Yien's ear. The black hair was like being rolled up by candy wrappers by the hair rope. "It's so cute, like candy, and the back is also beautiful."
“Really?” Ye-eun tilted her head slightly, her heart suddenly filled with joy, and she smiled and hooked her hair with his, “That unnie helped me braid it, it’s so cute.”
"..." Kong Minzhi bowed slightly silently, called out "Jirong Oppa" and turned and left. Really, Oppa didn't even notice that she was right next to him, right? She touched the little hat on her head, and the fourteen-year-old's face was full of sadness. Her look today was quite cute.
However, Kwon Ji-yong just waved at her and had no intention of praising her for being cute. Kong Minji sighed. It turned out that Jiyong oppa only had eyes for Ye-eun.
Quan Zhilong sat directly in the empty seat that Kong Minzhi had moved away from. He looked down and saw the bottles of nail polish. He naturally picked up a bottle and turned it around. "Is this the right color?"
“Yes.” Ye-eun saw him pick up the nail polish so naturally, but hesitated, “I’ll do it myself.”
She was afraid that she would have strange feelings again after physical contact with him. She remembered that she had asked her military advisor Li Zhuhe two days ago why she always felt strange when she had contact with Quan Zhilong recently.
I was shocked when the other person said to me in an indescribable tone after a long silence, "You're not acting yourself out, are you?"
Lee Joo Hyuk, whom I had known since childhood, analyzed me for a long time that day, analyzing every move of Kwon Ji Yong and every emotion of mine.
The other party said: "Zhilong's behavior is very normal, but Yeen, you are very abnormal. He is acting but you are moved? Are you in love with Zhilong? No way!?"
Yeen's first reaction was to deny it outright. How could that be possible? How could she possibly fall in love with Quan Zhilong?
However, Li Zhuhe's tone was full of helplessness. He analyzed various signals of her heartbeat and found that they all matched...
When Kwon Ji-yong was acting and saying sweet words, her heart beat unsteadily; when Kwon Ji-yong was acting and having intimate contact with her, her cheeks became hot; even when Kwon Ji-yong accidentally touched her, she would become entangled.
That day, Ye-eun, who had a high sense of morals, felt like the sky was falling. Does she like Quan Zhilong? Like a guy who already has a girl he likes? It turns out that those irregular heartbeats are not caused by physiological reasons, but are signals brought by heartbeats?
Ye-eun swallowed and tried to pull the nail polish back from his hand, but he grabbed her hand.
Quan Zhilong lowered his head and held her hand in his palm. Her white and slender fingers were a circle smaller than his hands, and there was a small white crescent on the pink nail. He couldn't help but smiled and said, "What does it say in the contract? And what if the girl I like asks me to help her paint her nails? What if I don't know how to do it?"
"..." Yien pursed her lips and saw that he had already held the nail brush and was brushing it on her left thumb, but she ultimately did not pull her hand back.
When Li Cailin heard what Quan Zhilong said, the hand that was drawing eyeliner trembled, and when she saw the dark mass, she sighed. Isn't it more terrifying if your boyfriend is skilled in painting your nails? She shook her head helplessly, Yien was still too naive.
Yi Eun looked down at Kwon Ji-yong's hand that was supporting her. He was actually quite fair, but compared to her, he was still a few shades darker.
His fingertips were resting on his palms, and he could feel a warm breath coming from his palms. When he lowered his head, his gentle breathing also hit the back of his hands. Occasionally, a strand of hair would pass through the back of his hands as he reapplied nail polish. The way he lowered his head and looked focused made her a little distracted.
The palms of his hands felt hot, the backs of his hands felt slightly itchy, and even the fingertips on his palms felt a faint electric current.
Yi Eun looked at Kwon Ji-yong in a daze. She only knew that his single eyelids were nice-looking before, but this was the first time she noticed that his eyelashes were long and curled; she thought his pupils were black before, but this time she found out that his pupils were actually dark amber, and looked transparent and deep when they moved; she only thought that his hands had distinct joints before, but now she found out that there was a shallow scratch on the palm of his hand.
She blinked, lowered her eyes, and asked softly, "What color does the girl you like like?"
"Red." Quan Zhilong carefully applied red nail polish to her middle finger. The soft hair slid across her nail, leaving a smooth color. He said nonchalantly, "What's wrong?"
Yien shook her head. She felt inexplicably sad when she thought that the reason why Kwon Ji-yong was painting his nails on her was all for another girl.
After a few seconds of silence, she asked again: "Well, if she asked you to paint her nails, then you must have been together at that time, right?"
Quan Zhilong paused, and some of the brush in his hand went outside his nails. He took out a piece of paper and carefully wiped off the oily substance outside his fingernails before looking up at her and smiling, "Yes, you must have been together when you helped her paint her nails. It's such an intimate action."
"Oh..." Ye Eun blinked and avoided Quan Zhilong's sight. When he lowered his head again to touch up the nail polish on this finger, hesitating for a long time before asking: "Can you tell me why you like that girl?"
For the first time, she felt curious. A sour and astringent feeling almost spread from her heart to her limbs. She was a little aware of what she felt, but she couldn't believe it. Is this what jealousy felt like?
So when she had her first “broken heart”, her performance of sadness was so perfunctory? Is it possible not to shed tears when you are really sad?
Ye-eun's tone was so soft that only Quan Zhilong could hear it. She asked, "When did you start to like me?"
Quan Zhilong lowered his head and answered, "Why do I like her? Actually, I don't know. One day, I suddenly realized that I liked her. Then, the more I thought about it, the more I thought, oh, isn't it the most normal thing to like her?"
"I just like everything about her, her looks, her personality. I like her smile, and her pride." Quan Zhilong said in a gentle tone with a smile on his face, "There are many reasons to like her, but I can't think of a reason why I don't like her."
As he was talking, he suddenly became shy, let go of Yien's hand and covered his face, shy but also full of joy, "You know what? I really like you, Yien."
Ye-eun blinked, her eyes starting to become moist. That’s great, the tone is so gentle, he really met someone he likes very much.
Be happy, Zhilong! She lowered her head and sniffed lightly, and various scenes of life and death separation in Korean dramas flashed through her mind. It seemed that at this moment she became the second female lead who had just realized her love and had already failed.
But she will not be a bad girl who destroys other people's love. Even if Zhilong doesn't like her, there will still be many people in the world who love Yien! Lee Ye-eun will be as happy as Ji-ryong! She raised her head and tried to smile brightly, letting the moisture in her eyes be washed away by her smile: "Okay, Zhilong likes her so much, I will definitely help you!"
It’s just helping the boy you like to pursue the girl he likes. It’s very simple! Even if I feel a little sad, just a little bit. Yien lowered her head and curled the corners of her mouth.
When Quan Zhilong saw her expression, he was stunned for a moment. Something was wrong, very wrong! Is there something that happened without your knowledge? He tried hard to think about what had happened recently, but couldn't find the reason for the strange feeling.
Lee Joo Hyuk, who was preparing behind the show, sneezed and touched his chin. Was there something important that he forgot to tell someone? Just as a clue was about to come out of his mind, it was interrupted by the designer's shout. He shook his head and said, "It should be okay."
The shooting officially began. Ye-eun started dancing in front of the camera and smiled hard, listening to the sound track that Kwon Ji-ryong selected from countless dry recordings and was transformed into this perfect finished product by the post-production teacher.
Each scene looks simple, but requires countless freeze-frame shots. She listened to the song as many times as the shooting lasted. Each track was selected by Kwon Ji-yong and the sound engineer, and she danced as many times as she did so. Each move was choreographed by her and the choreographer.
She curled the corners of her mouth, her eyes showing joy mixed with sadness. He was very good, but she was not bad either.
