Chapter 92, exclusively released...

After his debut, Jung Yong-hwa seemed like a completely different person compared to before. It wasn't that he had plastic surgery, but rather that he had improved his image management and gained a more sophisticated, celebrity-like aura.

If he used to be a naive and sunny young man, now the change brought about by his identity has given him a more mature and composed demeanor.

Jiang Yalin said she could understand, after all, he was the captain, and as the captain, he had to be calm and capable of handling things.

When the two met, Jung Yong Hwa was a little shy, but he still opened his arms and hugged Kang Ah-rin generously. Heaven knows how long he had been waiting for this hug, but he also knew about Kang Ah-rin's recent difficulties, and even felt a sense of powerlessness, wanting to help but not knowing how he could help.

"Nuna~"

No wonder Koreans are so fond of dating younger men. When I was dating Lee Soo-hyuk, who was the same age as me, we always spoke in informal language. Now that I'm dating someone a year younger than me, the feeling of having to ask a polite phrase even if he wants to kiss me is strangely exciting.

Her younger brother was so good; she could feel his lips trembling when they kissed. After all, she had more experience than him, so Jiang Yalin took the initiative throughout, guiding Zheng Ronghua little by little.

After their intimacy, the two sat side by side, and even just playing on their phones didn't feel boring. But after a while, Xu Zhen and Jiang Yalin hesitated to speak. Jiang Yalin turned to look at him and asked in a very tolerant manner.

"What's wrong? Is there something you want to tell me?"

"Nuna, the company wants me to participate in a program."

"Then let's go!"

Jiang Yalin didn't take it to heart and replied casually. However, the other person's next sentence surprised her, and she turned to look at him.

"It's the show 'We Got Married'."

After Jung Yong-hwa mustered up the courage to say those words, he didn't dare to look at Kang Ah-rin's expression. He knew it was outrageous for someone with a girlfriend to participate in this program, and he also knew that this program was very necessary for the development of their group.

At least he could get more people to know about him and his band through this popular show, so he couldn't simply refuse.

"If you wanted to refuse, you would have refused directly instead of bringing it up with me now. So you want to participate!"

His tone was affirmative, and Jiang Yalin understood his thoughts, but she felt somewhat uncomfortable because she had a possessive nature towards her people.

"Then let's participate."

She spoke so casually, but Jung Yong-hwa was genuinely terrified.

"Nuna, you don't object?"

"Why should I object? Participating in this program would benefit your career, I have no reason to object, but..."

The simple statement made Jung Yong-hwa's heart leap into his throat, but he didn't ask any questions. Instead, he waited for her to continue.

"However, it's really not good for you to participate in this show with your girlfriend. If it gets exposed later, you'll face double the backlash for all the help you received beforehand. So... break up with her. Once you break up, you can participate in this show without any worries."

All the color drained from Jung Yong-hwa's face, and he looked at Kang Ah-rin with trembling lips and a panicked expression.

"Nuna, I don't want to break up..."

"I'm not saying this out of anger. I'm analyzing it rationally. Don't make impulsive decisions because of temporary feelings. Your career should be your priority, whether it's you or me. Once you've achieved success in your career, what girl can't you have?"

"None of those people are you?!"

Jung Yong-hwa was devastated. He never expected to end up like this. But he also knew that Kang Ah-rin was right. If he participated in the show and it was discovered that he had a girlfriend, he would be severely criticized by the audience and the couple's fans, and his career would be ruined.

Even so, he didn't want to break up.

"I can let other members of our group participate..."

“Listen, if you give the opportunity to someone else, then maybe your chance to become a huge star will also be given to someone else. Don’t ruin your career for a relationship that might not last. To be honest, Jung Yong Hwa, I can’t go the distance with you, so I’m not worth you risking your career.”

Jiang Yalin remained calm throughout, but seeing him like this, Zheng Ronghe couldn't help but say something he later regretted.

"Were you this rational when you broke up with your ex-boyfriend?"

"Yes, but he was the one who broke up with you last time, and I was the one who broke up with you this time. If you start dating again, you can break up with yourself."

They didn't seem to be discussing quantities. If you didn't listen to what they were saying, you'd think they were discussing what groceries to buy for dinner.

“Nuna...”

Jung Yong-hwa felt a pang of sadness and helplessness. He held her hand, while Kang Ah-rin looked at the person she hadn't yet devoured and felt a pang of regret. After thinking for a moment, she decided to devour the person first and then let him go.

She suddenly leaned forward and kissed those bloodless lips, then slowly pressed them against hers. The lingering feeling from their breakup vanished in that moment, and the whole room began to heat up.

Jung Yong-hwa was woken up by a phone call at around 3 a.m. the next day. After answering the call, he left in a hurry.

Actually, Jiang Yalin had already woken up when the phone rang, but she was too lazy to deal with the scene she would face after waking up. She felt the warm softness on her forehead and sensed the other person's reluctance to part, but none of this made her open her eyes. It wasn't until the sound of the door closing that she slowly opened her eyes in the darkness. After a while, a sigh echoed in the quiet room.

G-Dragon is a very talented person, Kang Ah-rin has never denied it, but she never expected him to be so talented.

Although he didn't know how to compose, as a listener, she could tell whether a song was good or not. She represented the general public, and she thought his song was fantastic. This gave her more confidence for their upcoming comeback.

During the preparation of her new album, Kang Ah-rin didn't seem like she had just broken up at all. Even G-Dragon didn't know that she had dated Jung Yong-hwa. So when he was bored and saw that a new couple appeared on "We Got Married," he dragged Kang Ah-rin to watch it with him.

"Let me tell you, this show is pretty good. It's good for passing the time, and sometimes I even get some inspiration from it."

Seeing Jung Yong-hwa flash by in the program preview, Kang Ah-rin felt no emotion whatsoever, but she was speechless at what G-Dragon had just said.

"Isn't the inspiration from dating enough? Do you need to watch this kind of show to find inspiration?"

"It's been so long since I've been in a relationship, okay?"

"Have you broken things off with that Japanese guy?"

Jiang Yalin was somewhat surprised. What kind of romance novel male lead is he if he doesn't fall in love? Who knows how many female leads are waiting for him later on?

"...It'll be soon."

"I told you, this relationship of yours is going to be tough, maybe it'll be on and off for years. By the way, I'm also curious about something that your fans are curious about. Kiko Mizuhara is completely different from your previous girlfriends, you..."

"You mean what I like about her, right?"

Completely devoid of the embarrassment and annoyance of being asked about his shadow, he can now calmly discuss this issue with the person in front of him.

"I guess it's a feeling, like she understands me very well, which makes me feel very relaxed in front of her."

Hearing him say that, Jiang Yalin was even more surprised. If it felt so good, then why would he want to break up?

Jiang Yalin thought this and asked it aloud, and then Kwon Ji-yong fell silent.

“Constantly creating those kinds of news isn’t good for the group, and my reputation is already even worse now, so I don’t want to drag the girl down with me and make her reputation even worse.”

Jiang Yalin didn't really believe this claim, because it didn't fit G-Dragon's usual behavior. It would be more plausible if he said he had grown tired of the relationship and wanted to break up.

G-Dragon: ...........

"Then why haven't you broken up yet?"

"She doesn't want to break up."

Jiang Yalin was genuinely surprised. She knew that G-Dragon was being criticized by many people and his career was on the verge of collapse, yet this girl still didn't want to break up with him. It seemed she was a true fan in her past life, remaining loyal to him through thick and thin.

"Look, even now, this girl doesn't want to break up. It's obvious she's deeply in love with you. If you let her go, won't you regret it in the future?"

"No, because people always look forward, and I'm confident that my future girlfriends will be deeply in love with me. Okay, okay, let's not discuss my relationship problems anymore. What about yours? Have you been dating anyone lately?"

Feeling intimidated by the questions, G-Dragon started to change the subject, and he genuinely wanted to know about Kang Ah-rin's recent relationship status.

"We talked, and then we broke up."

"When did you start dating? Why didn't you tell me? You've been dating really fast, I'm almost ashamed of myself."

Kwon Ji-yong stared at Kang Ah-rin in shock. Looking at her felt like looking in a mirror. He had said that Kang Ah-rin was unfaithful in relationships, but the woman in front of him wasn't much better.

"Tell me about it, who are you dating? Do I know them? Are they someone in the industry or not?"

Seeing his gossipy look and knowing his mouth was worth five dollars, Jiang Yalin didn't tell him directly that she had dated Zheng Ronghe before, but changed the subject.

"Didn't you want to watch this program? It's been airing for a while now. Let's watch the program first, and then we'll talk about it."

Despite having many questions, G-Dragon silently shut his mouth when he saw her turn her head to watch the show intently, and stopped asking further questions.

Just then, the new couple made their appearance. First up was the youngest member of Girls' Generation, followed by a newcomer who had just debuted this year. Apparently, she's the lead singer and leader of a band, and she's quite good-looking.

"Aren't you curious about who my ex-boyfriend is?"

"What?"

G-Dragon, who was watching the show, suddenly lost track of her pace.

"My ex-boyfriend, that's him."
