Chapter 59, exclusively released...

Although Lee Joo-hyuk asked the question, he clearly didn't intend to let Kang Ah-rin answer, because he lowered his head and kissed her after asking.

Just as Jiang Yalin was immersed in Lee Joo-hyuk's handsome face, he kissed her so hard that her head was spinning. She unconsciously followed his rhythm and succumbed to his charm until the phone rang, interrupting their passionate kiss.

"...Okay, I understand, I'll be right back... Ah... I'm back... Don't ask anymore... I'll explain it to you properly later... Alright, bye!"

"Zhilong?"

Seeing Jiang Yalin's impatient expression as she hung up the phone, Li Zhuhe leaned closer and rubbed his nose against her cheek, asking in a deep, sticky voice.

"Okay, let's go back."

Jiang Yalin clearly didn't want to say more. After tidying her hair and clothes, she made sure there were no major problems and then left the small room.

Lee Joo-hyuk followed slowly behind her, watching her back, but his mind was filled with thoughts of why he had suddenly appeared here, and why he had no memory of the journey from the hotel to here.

Could it be... that he has some incurable disease?

You know, Korean dramas these days use the three magic weapons of car accidents, cancer, and amnesia. I don't know if I'm out of my mind, but my first thought was that I might be sick.

Thinking of this, Lee Joo-hyuk couldn't help but chuckle. He must be out of his mind, otherwise why would he think of this?

Back in BigBang's dressing room, Lee Joo-hyuk could clearly feel Kwon Ji-yong's resistance and restraint. He frowned deeply, wondering what he had done in the lost memories to elicit such a reaction from this guy.

Although he heard Jiang Yalin say that the Lee Joo-hyuk in front of him was the real Lee Joo-hyuk and not an imposter Jiang Zhiyuan, perhaps because Jiang Zhiyuan's performance was too impactful, even though he knew that the person in front of him was his friend Lee Joo-hyuk, he couldn't help but recall the affected manner of Jiang Zhiyuan's version of Lee Joo-hyuk.

He swears, he really didn't mean it, he just couldn't control himself.

【Then how am I supposed to face Joo Hyuk? Joo Hyuk who is so affectionate towards me, Joo Hyuk who is being affectionate towards me, Joo Hyuk who is all grimaces at me, Joo Hyuk who is being sullen towards me, Joo Hyuk who is being sullen towards me... Just thinking about that scene makes me not know how to treat my friend of so many years.

Kwon Ji-yong was deeply conflicted, inwardly cursing Kang Ji-won for causing him so much trouble. Why use Lee Joo-hyuk's body of all people? He wondered if Kang Ah-rin was feeling the same way he was, and if she was also finding it difficult to face her boyfriend who had returned to normal.

No, not at all. We even kissed when we got back, just as much as before.

However, she completely agreed with Kwon Ji-yong's earlier statement that Kang Ji-won was a menace. Because of those thoughts in her mind, she was now damnably concerned about that nameless woman.

She knew she shouldn't be troubled by this unknown person, but at this moment she seemed to understand why the previous heroines cared so much about Kim Jin-ah and Kiko Mizuhara. It was probably because they were people who were truly on a certain trajectory.

She looked up at Lee Joo-hyuk, who seemed lost in thought, not knowing what he was thinking. With a face like his, it was impossible for him not to date in the entertainment industry. Even if he didn't date her, he would probably date someone else soon. But for Kang Ji-won to bring him up, he must be someone extraordinary.

Forget about all this nonsense. Now that he's mine, all I need to do is enjoy the happiness he brings me while he's still mine. As for what happens afterward, as long as it doesn't happen while we're dating, who cares about what happens after we break up?

Having figured things out, Jiang Yalin's expression relaxed, and she ignored the awkwardness between her friends, turning around to go to work.

Kwon Ji-yong felt that everything was great these past two days. The weather was sunny and the air was fresh. Even when the maknae was being naughty, he found him very cute.

He thought the maknae was very cute, but the maknae thought his hyung had probably gone crazy these past two days, otherwise why would he smile and say it was okay after he broke his things?

"Hey, Da Sheng, do you think Brother Long is right?"

As he spoke, the maknae extended a finger and turned it around on his head a few times, the meaning of which was quite clear.

When Jiang Daesung heard his words, he didn't refute them. It was because Quan Zhilong had been acting very strangely these past two days. Last night, he was smiling and talking to him, which gave him nightmares all night.

God knows he was most afraid of Kwon Ji-yong speaking to him with that expression. It was the expression he feared most during his training career. Yesterday, when he saw Kwon Ji-yong speaking to him with that expression, he subconsciously wondered if he had done something wrong. But after waiting for a long time, he didn't hear anything more, which is why he had a nightmare in the middle of the night.

"Perhaps it was only after the breakup that he belatedly realized that Kim Jin-ah was his true love?"

The youngest member scoffed at this claim.

"True love? Every girl I like is true love. My personality is such that every relationship I have is true love. Just watch, Brother Long will have even more true love in the future."

Daesung could only remain silent in response to the maknae's words, because he felt that the maknae made a lot of sense.

Don't be fooled by the fact that Kwon Ji-yong has only been in one relationship so far. This relationship alone is enough to prove that their great leader is someone who falls in love quickly and goes out of love just as fast. He may love someone truly, but he can also detach himself from the relationship just as quickly.

Calling him a scumbag would be too harsh, but to say he isn't would be unfair to Kim Jin-ah, who went to great lengths to be dumped.

The two of them were sneakily hiding in a corner, cricketing Kwon Ji-yong, while the person being cricketed was being cornered by his good friend.

"Tell me, what exactly did you do to make you avoid me for the past two days?"

Actually, Lee Joo-hyuk didn't want to be direct, but he didn't have much time left. He was going back to Korea for work tomorrow, so he was really curious about what he had done to elicit such a reaction from the other party.

"No... Actually, sometimes, not knowing is a blessing. Knowing some things isn't always a good thing..."

"Alright, stop with the nonsense. I want to know."

Last night, he tried so hard, but he still couldn't get the information he wanted from Jiang Yalin in bed, which proves that she thinks things are more serious than he does. But can he say that he is glad that things haven't gotten so serious that Jiang Yalin has the same reaction as Quan Zhilong?

Are you sure?

Kwon Ji-yong hesitated for a moment, but under his insistence, he decided to tell the truth.

"Actually, I've recently been haunted by a female ghost..."

"Huh? What are you talking about? Are you sure you're not out of your mind? Do you even know what you're saying?"

The first sentence stunned Lee Joo-hyuk. "Brother, is that right?"

"You don't believe it either, right? Actually, if this hadn't happened to me, I wouldn't believe it either, but it really did happen."

Kwon Ji-yong gave a bitter smile as he spoke, a smile that revealed the depth of his suffering. It was truly unbearable; he was constantly being harassed by colleagues and friends who were possessed by female ghosts. Who could stand that?!

Seeing his expression, Lee Joo-hyuk fell silent, and then began to question the meaning of life. Could there really be female ghosts in this world?

He didn't speak, but waited quietly for Quan Zhilong to continue. He didn't keep him waiting for long, and after composing himself, he continued.

"At first I didn't notice anything, until one day she possessed Lee Jae-hyun's body, and then we realized something was wrong..."

"us?"

"Yes, Yalin knows too. Do you remember the day I introduced you to Yalin? It was the cleaning lady who appeared at my workplace. Actually, she was also possessed by that female ghost that day."

"So that's why the cleaning lady acted so strangely that day?"

Now that you put it that way, it makes sense. He thought Kwon Ji-yong was so charming that even his aunt, who was about to become a grandmother, was captivated by him. It turns out it wasn't that exaggerated after all.

"Well, so you believe me now."

"No, what you mean is that during the time I lost this memory, my body was controlled by that female ghost?"

Lee Joo-hyuk suddenly realized this, and a chill ran down his spine.

"What did that female ghost do with my body?"

Once he believed this premise, Lee Joo-hyuk's voice trembled. Recalling the cleaning lady's crazy behavior, he couldn't even imagine what the female ghost would do with her body.

"she......"

Kwon Ji-yong hesitated before recounting to Lee Joo-hyuk everything that Kang Ji-won had done and said to him the day before.

Every time Kwon Ji-yong said something, Lee Joo-hyuk's face darkened a little more. After he finished speaking, Lee Joo-hyuk looked completely hopeless.

"She really did it?"

Lee Joo-hyuk's tone was filled with disbelief, a hint of anticipation for his denial, and resentment at being forced to do so.

"It's true, and all of this was done in front of Yalin. Yalin even took her to a small room. As for what they did and said, I don't know. If you want to know, you can ask Yalin later."

Alright, with his heart finally at ease, Lee Joo-hyuk closed his eyes in despair. He finally understood what was going on with the occasional awkwardness that Kang Ah-rin had shown.

He could say that it was fortunate that Jiang Yalin was still able to accept his approach and be close to him, otherwise his first love would have ended abruptly.

"You deserve to die, Kwon Ji-yong!!!"

Kwon Ji-yong, who initially felt sorry for him but also found it amusing, couldn't help but laugh after hearing his words spoken through gritted teeth.

Sometimes, being in pain alone is truly painful, but when someone is with you, or even in more pain than you, you realize that your own pain isn't so bad after all.

Therefore, both happiness and suffering are relative.
