Chapter 44: Send Off

After G-Dragon left, Jing Rong got out of bed slowly, took a shower, and made breakfast in a good mood to celebrate her single life. When Jing Rong was about to leave, G-Dragon had almost arrived at the airport. This time the itinerary was completely public, and there would be fans waiting at the airport early in the morning. He certainly couldn't go alone, so he got up so early because he had to meet up with his friends and some staff first.

As soon as Big Bang's handsome figures appeared, the fans' enthusiasm nearly overturned Incheon International Airport. Escorted by bodyguards, Big Bang members emerged from the car one by one in an orderly manner, and fans on both sides enthusiastically greeted them. Big Bang's members actually love to show off their cool, wearing hats and masks to fully protect their appearance. Their expressions were completely in line with the top boss, each one more cool and noble than the other. Seungri is undoubtedly the unique flower in Big Bang, who can get excited in any occasion and can enjoy himself even without others. As the youngest member, his cheerful nature is understandable. The older brothers have always been very tolerant of Seungri, and fans regard Seungri's enthusiastic interactions as a benefit for Big Bang fans. However, this morning, the fan benefit almost became a benefit for everyone, because someone named Kwon patiently and actively interacted with fans throughout the day.

Normally, it's handsome enough for Quan to just pout, and no one is willing to ask him to do more. Occasionally, a smile when he's in a good mood is a surprise. However, the surprises in the past were nothing compared to today. He was so stupid as to pull Seungri towards the place where the screams were the loudest and made an "I love you" gesture. Damn, he's going to be killed instantly!

The scene almost paused for a whole second, and it even felt like time stood still. The fans' voices of disbelief could be clearly heard, and they finally realized what they had done in public. G-Dragon's first reaction was to cover his face, and then he pulled down the brim of his hat as if nothing had happened, pretending to be looking straight ahead, but the screams that broke out around him said it all.

The fans are going crazy. Honestly, no one would object to Big Bang making Japan the second stop on their world tour. After all, it's a consistent style for Korean idols. And putting aside the VIPs' prejudice against Japan due to the disaster that happened when Captain Kwon went there, the Japanese market is indeed huge and the fans are passionate enough. However, domestic fans can't accept that YG prioritizes the Japanese market over their own. Is this a joke? Over a dozen concerts in Japan in two months—many times more than their own country. It's outrageous! They're clearly the ones with the closest proximity, yet they act like they're the unloved first wife!

Although they were dissatisfied with YG's decision, fans still came to see them off at the airport with reluctance. The scale of this farewell was unprecedented and the influence was so wide that many media reporters came to interview with cameras early in the morning. It was definitely a selling point.

The main reason for this situation lies with YG. I don't know what's going on with YG's Yang. A few days before Big Bang's departure, he was interviewed by reporters. When asked about Big Bang's schedule, he actually said that Big Bang would be in Japan for two to three months, and they wouldn't even be returning! He also said he would help Big Bang handle their work in their home country so the boys could have their concert in Japan without any worries! Damn! It was just a simple word from President Yang, but do you know how fans must feel if they can't see their idols for months?

I almost want to overthrow YG!

The popularity of Japanese VIPs is actually a deep pain in the hearts of Korean fans, not to mention those Xia Yuhes far away in China!

Back to the topic, fans were already fuming over YG's decision, and they came to see their idols off at the airport, hoping to catch one last glimpse of them—because the next time they saw them seemed like an eternity. They were incredibly excited and moved when they saw their idols make their debut. Topxi was still as handsome as ever, Taeyangxi's smile was still as warm as the sun, Daesungxi's teeth were even whiter, his skincare is doing great lately, and our Seungrixi was as cute, lively, and sweet as ever. Hey, who's that... Captain Kwon, who usually loves to show off at these kinds of events, actually joined the maknae in acting cute!

Captain Quan was so excited that he accidentally did something that shocked his friends at the airport. In addition to covering their faces and screaming, the fans were more moved. In fact, the idols were also reluctant to leave them, reluctant to leave the place where they grew up, but because it was the company's decision and the order of President Yang, a few obedient children could only obey - imagining things is really a disease. Thinking of this, the VIPs at the scene already had tears in their eyes. They looked at the five people who were moving forward with excitement and emotion, waving their arms and shouting: "Oppa, we will miss you, miss you very much, every day!"

As soon as these words fell, the fans could no longer follow them. The airport security was too strict. Even if someone bought a random ticket, there was no way to follow them into the VIP lounge.

When they arrived at the VIP room, the five of them suddenly changed their aura, as if the dazzling light had receded from them. They became ordinary boys again, some lazy, some casual. Taeyang lay on G-Dragon's shoulder in an unrefined manner: "Hey, Ji-Dragon, what's wrong with you today?"

Seungri danced with joy: "It's so high!"

Quan Zhilong covered his face again. After TOP sat down on the sofa, he glanced at Quan Zhilong calmly and said with a smile: "After she went back yesterday, what surprise did she give you?"

"Needless to say." Seungri could easily continue the sentence. He glanced at Captain Quan ambiguously and teased, "It's been nearly a hundred days since we last saw each other. They say that when people are deeply in love, a day apart feels like three years. I don't know how many years it has been. We're about to part, so we must do what we have to do!"

Dacheng patted Shengli on the shoulder, looking pleased: "Going to college is different. Our Shengli even knows Chinese idioms!"

"That's right." Shengli said proudly, "Actually, my girlfriend is very interested in Chinese culture, and I remembered it as soon as she mentioned it."

Seungri's girlfriend didn't attract anyone's attention, and G-Dragon stopped paying attention to her because when they mentioned her, he remembered something more important. He took his bag from the staff and dug out the things Jingrong had given him that morning. Before boarding started, he asked the staff nearby, "Did you bring your computers?"

"Yes, do you want to use it now?" "Yes." "Brother, what are you doing?" No one responded after Seungri finished speaking. This was not the first time he encountered such a situation. He did not care about the silence this time. He turned around and saw G-Dragon holding a computer and looking at something. He immediately went over. As soon as G-Dragon turned on the player, the picture appeared soon. Seungri was surprised, "Oh my, sister-in-law is very fast. She finished it so quickly!"

After watching a few shots, G-Dragon already knew what it was. He fast-forwarded through it briefly, took off his headphones, looked at Seungri and asked, "How did you know?"

"Of course I know. I was the one who filmed this scene for you guys... Uh." He realized he had let the cat out of the bag and Victory squatted down, holding his head. "I didn't mean to. Can you please not tell my sister-in-law that I said that?"

Taeyang went over and pulled up the pitiful Seungri: "You should let Jiyong credit you with a contribution. Even if you don't have any credit, you have worked hard."

G-Dragon glanced down at the still image. It was the candlelight dinner he and Jingrong had enjoyed last night. It was as pure and romantic as an idol drama, a constant reminder of just how surprising and happy he'd been that night. It was the first time in his adult life that he'd felt fulfilled in anything other than his career. No, his career had never fulfilled him this much. No wonder she'd been so confident in letting him look at this when he missed her. But she'd forgotten one thing: what if he missed her even more after reading it? G-Dragon felt like he'd already tasted the bitterness of longing before he'd even left.

The thought was just a flash, and he quickly came back to his senses. Seeing Seungri still pretending to be pitiful, G-Dragon was at a loss whether to laugh or cry: "Get up."

"No, unless I promise not to tell my sister-in-law!" Shengli has the aura of someone who will die if he fails.

"Then just squat down." G-Dragon curled his lips, closed the computer, returned it to the staff, put the USB drive into his wallet like a treasure, and then turned on his mobile phone. He completed the whole process with full concentration, completely ignoring the gazes of the four pairs of eyes next to him.

After a pause, Taeyang cleared his throat and said, "Well, Jiyong, why don't you share your thoughts?" G-Dragon didn't even look up: "Beautiful visuals, smooth graphics, and a beautifully cast character. Great."

"Um..." Taiyang's voice was a little dry, "What else?"

G-Dragon pressed a few buttons on his phone, then turned off the screen. He stood up and put the phone back into his pocket. He looked at his friends with shining eyes and said with a smile, "Boarding has started. Don't you want to leave?" After saying that, he walked forward with brisk steps. After he reminded them, the others suddenly realized what was going on and followed his footsteps as if in a dream.

Seungri also had something to say. He grabbed Daesung, who was closest to him, and as they walked, he whispered in Daesung's ear, loud enough for everyone to hear: "I'm suddenly very curious about what Jiyong was doing with his phone just now. Do you want to know?"

Dacheng nodded honestly and guessed, "He sent a text message to Sister Jingrong, telling her he was surprised?"

Taeyang, who knew Captain Kwon better, shook his head: "He probably wouldn't express it so directly."

"Look at how cocky he is, not even saying he's happy or anything. You should know he wouldn't say that to Jingrong." Top completely agreed with Taiyang's opinion and couldn't help but talk a lot. He stroked his chin and reasoned, "I guess even if he did send a text message, he would probably use a congratulatory tone to praise Jingrong for doing a good job."

"Alas, such a stuffy man," Seungri sighed and shook his head. He boarded the plane after his brothers and, as soon as he sat down, he habitually pulled out his phone and logged into Twitter. He was instantly stunned by the screen full of messages. The VIPs on Twitter were going crazy. Seungri immediately looked up at the culprit. He was right in front of him, his head leaning against the back of his chair, looking contented. Seungri just wanted to ask, "Brother, does your girlfriend know you're so cocky?"

Jing Rong couldn't have been unaware of such a commotion. In fact, as soon as she arrived at the hotel, the lovely secretary couldn't wait to come up and gossip: "President, you're here? Did you read the tweets this morning?" "Not yet. What's the matter?" "It's about Big Bang." Secretary Lin looked excited. She didn't think it was inappropriate to discuss gossip about her idols with her boss. First of all, one of the people she was discussing happened to be her boss's boyfriend, so it wasn't pure gossip. Secondly, her boss was very clear about the distinction between public and private affairs. As long as she kept it clear during working hours, he wouldn't interfere with her no matter how she made a fuss outside of working hours. So Secretary Lin felt free to gossip with Jing Rong. Pressure, "Isn't Big Bang going to Japan today? Many VIPs went to see them off at the airport early this morning. I have a friend who works late and went with them. She just told me half an hour ago that Big Bang doesn't seem to want to go to Japan. After all, they're going for such a long trip and they're not even allowed to go home. And GDXI was so reluctant to leave that he even followed Seungrixi to act cute to the fans for the first time. He was so thoughtful, knowing we were reluctant to leave. However, this wasn't the climax. The climax was GDXI's Twitter update before boarding the plane. Although it was just one sentence, the VIPs all went crazy and were so excited. It's rare for GDXI to express his reluctance so obviously!"

Jing Rong actually listened to Secretary Lin's words patiently, raised an eyebrow and asked, "So what was the content of the tweet?"

Secretary Lin's expression was quite excited. He approached Jing Rong and said, "GDXI said on Twitter that if you really miss him, go see him more often - isn't this a clear hint? I heard from a friend that before Big Bang entered the airport, the VIPs' last words were to shout together that they would miss them very much and miss them every day. Then GDXI started posting such tweets as soon as he entered. It was a clear hint to the fans!" Secretary Lin sighed, holding her face, "I really want to fly over to see them."

"So you're suggesting I give you a vacation and a raise?"

Seeing Jing Rong's pleasant expression, Secretary Lin was not polite: "Hey, if the president insists on being so polite, I feel embarrassed to refuse!"

The two of them chatted and laughed until they reached the office door. Jing Rong opened the door and went in. Secretary Lin turned and went to another office. A girl walked over and took Secretary Lin's arm, her big eyes full of admiration: "Ouni, I just saw you coming with the president. The president seemed very happy. By the way, this is the first time I've seen the president so friendly. The last time I saw her was at a staff meeting. The president's expressionless face was really intimidating!" The girl sighed and then looked at Secretary Lin and asked, "By the way, what did Ouni say to the president that made her so happy?"

"Nothing, just some gossip."

"Gossip?" The girl looked at Secretary Lin in amazement. "How cool! Unnie actually dares to gossip with the president!"

Seeing the girl's expression, Secretary Lin was in a good mood. She reached out and pinched her round face. "You have to know how to deal with this. The president doesn't like to hear all the gossip, little sister." As she spoke, Secretary Lin took out a cup of coffee from the locker and walked to the tea room with the cup. She heard the new girl muttering quietly, "I can't believe the president actually listens to gossip!"

Secretary Lin chuckled. If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she couldn't imagine why two people with completely different personalities who seemed to have no connection at all could actually be boyfriend and girlfriend. One was a man who was expected to become the emperor of the entertainment industry, and the other was a rising elite in the business world. One was unrestrained and uninhibited, and the other was self-disciplined and serious. It was completely unimaginable that there was any connection between them. There was even a boring netizen who started a discussion, asking everyone who would be the representative of the two people who would not be together if there was only one pair of men and women left in the world. The bored people started to use their brains to make all kinds of weird associations, and linked many people who had no connection at all together. And this pair of men and women is also on the list, you can imagine how much people are pessimistic about their relationship, but in fact they don't need others to be optimistic, they just live their own little lives, and are really very happy. She has worked here for so long, and has seen her idol several times. He smiles more and more every time he comes over, and she can really see that GD is his truest self in front of the president, smiling so easily and gently, it is the first time she has seen this in so many years, especially yesterday, she really didn't think that her idol would be so charming when he smiles happily, she is very lucky that she can see this scene and can bless, and can also quietly protect this sweet relationship for them behind the scenes.

They must have a very good relationship. She saw the news about G-Dragon on TV recently and found that he smiled a lot more. Her president actually had such an influence on him. She thought he must like her very much. Moreover, the president was not ordinary. He always handled business in a fair and impartial manner. She almost delayed her work for her boyfriend several times. And the task she arranged for herself a few days ago was obviously due last night, but she gave the order so early, and was very thorough, reminding herself many times. If she hadn't been busy with work, she would have almost done it herself. How could she not love him if he could make her own president, who was so calm, take it so seriously?

GD must have been so surprised that he couldn't sleep yesterday. Thinking of this, Secretary Lin felt a sense of satisfaction. After all, she was also responsible for the candlelight dinner! In addition to satisfaction, Secretary Lin also felt that she was the only one sober while everyone else was drunk. All the VIPs who didn't know the truth thought that Captain Quan's tweet today was directed at them. In fact, only she knew that this was clearly Quan's high-profile confession and hint. It was obvious that he couldn't bear to part with his girlfriend, but was embarrassed to say it directly, so he could only hint that his girlfriend should visit him more often. Although it was so vague, Secretary Lin understood it at a glance. Seeing the smile on Jingrong's face just now, she was even more certain. This was a little fun between them as a couple. Secretary Lin was completely happy for the sweetness of their relationship. It felt so good to keep a shocking secret for her idol!

Secretary Lin was silently imagining things and was touched, but Jing Rong didn't know that he had turned on workaholic mode as soon as he arrived at the office. The daily repetitive work was not boring because every day he would encounter unnecessary problems and increasingly difficult challenges. Jing Rong was still very busy these days because she was not used to the new assistant. Although it was not to the point where she was almost the same as having no one, the workload had indeed increased. She just laughed off Secretary Lin's words. Knowing that someone was not indifferent was enough for Jing Rong to work with peace of mind. This led to someone named Quan waiting from the time he boarded the plane to the time he got off the plane. He received countless tweets confessing his love and telling him that he would definitely come to Japan to see him, but he could not wait for a single word from the real person, which made him feel very unhappy.

The unhappy Captain Kwon had a sullen face as he stepped off the plane, expressionless as he was escorted to the car by the staff. The fans who came to greet him shouted at the top of their lungs, but he didn't even give them a glance. Compared to the reaction at Incheon Airport, the contrast was even greater. So everyone concluded that Big Bang's trip to Japan was truly forced. Fans who overestimated their own feelings even felt that the shadow of G-Dragon's previous misfortune in Japan had not yet faded, and they increasingly felt that YG's President Yang was cruel, for forcing such well-behaved children like this. Before they knew it, President Yang had become a household name, a phenomenon commonly known as being caught in the crossfire.

The author has something to say: You absolutely can't imagine how pissed I felt when I wrote this picture! ! There's no internet in my hometown, and I'm posting on this crappy phone. Many functions aren't working, and there might be issues with the formatting. I can't see the "overlord ticket key" and can't thank you all, and I can't reply to your messages. I hope you can forgive me, I really love you all. Bow!
