Chapter 60, exclusively released...
“Yalin...”
Upon learning the truth, Lee Joo-hyuk was at a loss as to how to face Kang Ah-rin. He was no longer bewildered by her awkwardness, but rather at a loss for what to do.
"You knew all along?"
Seeing him like this, what didn't Jiang Yalin know? In fact, she had already processed everything by now. Apart from that incident, all she felt for him was sympathy. After all, being possessed was a very small probability, and yet he was unlucky enough to encounter it. For a moment, she didn't know whether to call him lucky or unlucky.
"Um."
"How was it? How did it feel?"
Jiang Yalin was even quite curious and wanted to discuss with him what it felt like to be possessed, since it wasn't really appropriate to discuss this with others. Now that she had finally met someone like him, she had to seize the opportunity.
"Emmmm...actually, I didn't feel anything, neither physically nor mentally. If it weren't for your reaction...I probably would have just been half asleep. But after finding out, I was a little shocked and a little scared, but that was all, because it didn't hurt me at all."
Oh, I see...
She thought....
After all, that's not how it's portrayed on TV. People who are possessed by ghosts are said to be weak and prone to illness, but it seems to be completely different from what's shown on TV.
"And you?"
"What?"
Jiang Yalin looked at Li Zhuhe with some confusion, not understanding what he was asking.
"How would you feel if your boyfriend was possessed by a female ghost and was harassing his best friend? Would you be disgusted with me?"
Lee Joo-hyuk asked this question with some trepidation, staring intently at her.
"I despise you? Then tell me, if I despise you, who was that person last night?"
Jiang Yalin rolled her eyes speechlessly. If she disliked him, would he have been able to get into her bed yesterday?
Lee Joo-hyuk, belatedly realizing what was happening, awkwardly scratched the tip of his nose, but...
"You look good even when you roll your eyes."
"......roll!!!"
Seeing that Jiang Yalin's cheeks were flushed despite her cursing and telling him to get lost, Li Zhuhe followed her with a grin.
Watching the two of them walk away hand in hand, a hint of envy flashed in Quan Zhilong's eyes. In fact, he also wanted this kind of love, but it seemed that this kind of love did not favor him.
"Lee Yeon-jin—Oppa, I've been confirmed to debut!!!"
He was lost in thought when his phone suddenly received a message. When he opened it, he saw that it was from Li Yanzhen. Upon reading the message, a genuine smile appeared on his face.
Having walked this path, Kwon Ji-yong knows how brutal the competition is to debut at YG, and how many excellent trainees who are not much worse than him have to leave the competition because of round after round of long pants competitions. Many others cannot withstand the pressure and eventually choose another path.
In South Korea, there is all sorts of pressure when you want to debut as a trainee. You have to completely crush your opponents in order to get a debut spot.
"Kwon Ji-yong - Congratulations! I look forward to performing on the same stage with you in the future."
He didn't think there was anything ambiguous about his reply; it was all just the senior's high hopes for the junior.
Lee Yeon-jin is truly amazing and incredibly talented; she's an ACE contestant. The fact that she managed to secure a debut spot through the company's selection process is proof enough of just how outstanding she is.
Moreover, he had previously told Kim Jin-ah that Lee Yeon-jin came to him to ask for advice, and he was not lying. Lee Yeon-jin did ask a lot of questions, and she was very smart, understanding things quickly. Her progress each time was huge. In fact, he had a premonition that she would have a place in the new girl group.
"Lee Yeon-jin - Oppa, I'm so happy and excited. My efforts haven't been in vain. Oppa, when are you coming back? I'd like to treat you to a meal to thank you."
"Kwon Ji-yong - No need for dinner. Oppa is now a person who receives royalties. I'll treat you to dinner when Oppa comes back. If you want to thank me, you can publicly thank me when you win first place after your debut."
Kwon Ji-yong's mood brightened at this moment because of the news, and he completely forgot about Kim Jin-ah and Kang Ji-won.
"Your photoshoot partner today is a Japanese model named Kiko Mizuhara..."
Upon arriving at the filming location and listening to the staff, Kwon Ji-yong was somewhat pleased to hear that his co-star was Kiko Mizuhara, whom he had met once before. After all, she was practically an acquaintance, which was better than being complete strangers. At least he wouldn't have to go through the whole process of self-introduction and getting to know each other again.
However, imagination is beautiful, but reality is cruel. He thought he would see a normal Kiko Mizuhara, but he did not expect to see a crazy version of Kiko Mizuhara, Kang Ji-won.
Jiang Zhiyuan never expected that she would be able to possess Mizuhara Kiko's body this time. Heaven knows, the moment she realized it, countless bad ideas floated into her mind.
Since this woman poses such a great threat, she might as well take this opportunity to make Kwon Ji-ryong fear Kiko Mizuhara.
Even after she leaves, she must ensure that Kwon Ji-ryong has no further desire for Kiko Mizuhara.
Actually, she still felt regretful. That previous idea had been stirring within her, so she consulted a master, wanting to accurately possess Jiang Yalin's body. For some reason, she suddenly had a feeling that Quan Zhilong had a strange interest in his manager. That interest wasn't between friends or colleagues, but simply between a man and a woman.
In the past, she would have been furious, but now that she had made up her mind, she decided to change her mind, and his inexplicable attention was actually quite helpful to her next idea.
Before coming here, she thought she would possess Jiang Yalin's body directly. She was quite excited. Although Jiang Yalin had a boyfriend now, it didn't matter. Her boyfriend was also quite handsome. So she happily accepted her body, her boyfriend, and Quan Zhilong.
However, things didn't turn out as she wished. Although it wasn't the best outcome, it wasn't the worst either. At least she had possessed Kiko Mizuhara's body, and now she could plan for the future and eliminate potential dangers first. As for Ya-Lin's body, she would temporarily entrust it to Ya-Lin for safekeeping.
"Dragon-chan~"
Upon hearing this tone, Kwon Ji-yong involuntarily shuddered, and the genuine smile on his face instantly froze. A bad premonition suddenly rose in his heart: could the Kiko Mizuhara in front of him no longer be the real her?
Yamete!
Please, please don't let it be that woman!!!
However, it seemed that God did not hear Kwon Ji-yong's prayers in his heart. Kiko Mizuhara soon came to his side. Seeing the familiar yet awkward expression on her face, his heart finally died.
Okay, this persistent female ghost has come after me again.
"Dragon-chan is so happy to be able to film with you today. Please take good care of me today~"
The mix of Korean and Japanese languages made Kwon Ji-yong's lips twitch.
"Kang Ji-won, please use Korean. It sounds better to me."
"Oppa, how did you know it was me? Are you so familiar with me now that you can recognize me at a glance?"
Kang Ji-won was overjoyed, completely ignoring the ugly expression on Kwon Ji-yong's face, and naively believing that her long-term efforts had finally won his heart.
Kwon Ji-yong: Heavens above, earth below, someone please take her away!!!
"Hehe... Actually, you're quite easy to recognize, since no one else looks like you."
The way you look.....
To be blunt, Quan Zhilong simply cannot bring himself to say such things to a girl, even if she is a ghost, since she is still female. Given his current upbringing, he simply cannot bring himself to say them.
Kang Ji-won didn't care about anything else; she could only and was willing to hear what she wanted to hear. So, after hearing Kwon Ji-yong's words, her mood instantly blossomed like a hundred flowers.
She took two shy steps closer to Kwon Ji-yong, but her sudden approach startled him. He instinctively took a big step back, and when he looked up, he saw Kang Ji-won's expression, which seemed to be both resentful and slightly dark.
Good heavens, this makes him look even more like a ghost.
"You... I have something to do on my end. I'll go check on things first, and we'll meet again when we start filming."
After saying that, Quan Zhilong turned and left. At that moment, he wished he had two more legs. If it weren't for the fact that running was too obvious, he really wanted to run. Of course, his current pace of race walking wasn't much better.
"Help!!! Yalin, save my life!!!"
Kwon Ji-yong felt that Kang Ji-won was very afraid of Kang Ah-rin, so when Kang Ji-won appeared, he couldn't help but ask Kang Ah-rin for help.
Hearing her commotion, Jiang Yalin felt a surge of anger; her good mood from seeing her boyfriend off vanished instantly.
Don't be angry, don't be angry. Think about the string of zeros in your bank account. Don't be angry. You earn so much money, it's only right that you suffer a little bit of anger.
After calming herself down mentally, she opened her eyes again, and Quan Zhilong was already in front of her. Seeing his ghost-like expression, Jiang Yalin immediately understood what had happened.
"Kang Ji-won is here?"
"Mmm!!!"
Kwon Ji-yong nodded pitifully.
"I understand. I'll go talk to her later and tell her to behave, but I don't know if she'll actually behave."
Yesterday was manageable; whether she beat her up or dragged her to a corner, it was all under the condition that the body belonged to her boyfriend. Now, unless the other party possesses Lee Joo-hyuk's body again, she really has no reason to hit him.
Although Kwon Ji-yong didn't say who it was, once she arrived at the scene, she immediately realized who Kang Ji-won was among all the people present.
She never expected that Kang Ji-won would become Kiko Mizuhara today, and the fourth female lead would end up in the body of some unknown female lead. The plot is truly a complete mess.
Just as Kang Ji-won was contemplating whether to go over there to find Kwon Ji-yong, she spotted Kang Ah-rin the moment she appeared, and then she looked her up and down with a satisfied gaze.
