Chapter 80 So that's how they ended up together (?...)
In fact, given Han Sang-hee's current state, it seems that whatever he does will be seen as irrational.
Han Shangxi knew this.
However, she now somewhat dislikes the moment when her rationality returns.
She knew that everything in the recording was just for the sake of recording.
But is it really all just acting?
Han Sang-hee was resistant when Kwon Ji-yong earnestly told her that everything that had just happened was just filming.
Even though they were just filming "We Got Married," Han Sang-hee suddenly felt uncertain about the future.
It is precisely because of this uncertainty about the future that she wants to seize the present.
In some ways, the production team's initial concept was correct. Such a recording process is hard not to be swayed by.
However, this wavering became a catalyst for Sang-hee's relationship with Kwon Ji-yong.
No one stays in the same place forever.
She had known this fact before, but this time she found herself afraid of losing him.
The cost of loss outweighed the weight on the scales.
At least that's the case at this moment.
Therefore, rather than worrying about the unknown future, let's enjoy the present.
"Actually, not just imagining is also a good option."
Han Sang-hee paused almost imperceptibly as her gaze met Kwon Ji-yong's.
If Kwon Ji-yong didn't know Han Sang-hee's personality, he probably would have really thought that Han was playing him.
Information asymmetry, differing perspectives... these have always been unavoidable issues between Han Sang-hee and Kwon Ji-yong.
But after a while, it seems that all the problems are no longer problems.
As long as the choice becomes truly two-way.
Even people you trust can hurt you. So don't do anything you'll regret.
After coldly delivering those admonitory words, Kwon Ji-yong paused for a moment, then looked at Sang-hee, who was completely out of it, and made a self-deprecating remark, feeling both annoyed and amused.
"Aish, how did I actually become the good person you described, Shangxi?"
When someone looks at you with trusting eyes for too long, it seems that every action you take is confined to the image of a "very good senior," and it seems that only in this way can you not betray that unreserved trust.
However, he was actually quite terrible.
At the very least, he had his own selfish motives. It's impossible to remain indifferent to certain things.
"Senior Ming has always been a very nice person."
Han Shangxi couldn't help but retort in a low voice.
At least this senior's sense of morality is much higher than hers.
In some matters, this person's actions can be described as saintly.
For example, she couldn't lead the group forward without any reservations.
She will only take risks when she sees the potential benefits outweigh the risks.
Therefore, you are not allowed to talk about yourself like that to this senior.
Han Sang-hee's candid and sincere words left Kwon Ji-yong unsure of what to say next.
Kwon Ji-yong bent down and looked Sang-hee in the eye, as if to confirm the sincerity in her eyes.
What happened tonight was quite sudden for him.
He never expected that Shang Xi would actually give an answer.
After all, this person has a history of evading such matters.
Staring intently into Sang-hee's eyes, Kwon Ji-yong spoke very seriously.
"You shouldn't trust just anyone of the opposite sex."
However, you cannot take back what you've said.
He admitted that he had ulterior motives and couldn't possibly remain indifferent to Han Sang-hee's answer.
After he finished speaking, Kwon Ji-yong raised his hand towards Han Sang-hee's head, but Han Sang-hee instinctively dodged it in the next instant.
Han Sang-hee felt a little embarrassed when faced with Kwon Ji-yong's hurt gaze.
It might seem a bit unromantic to avoid her at such a moment, but she really didn't mean it.
"It wasn't intentional."
"It's just that we had to reshoot too many times before."
Even Han Shangxi himself felt that the explanation he gave was somewhat weak.
So she wanted to add more.
However, before she could speak again, Kwon Ji-yong spoke first and took over her words.
"Inside~"
I'll trust you this time.
The place we are in right now is really not a good place to chat.
The two didn't talk much more.
After that, they simply went upstairs separately.
However, some changes eventually have an impact on other things. For example, online communication between the two finally returned to normal.
—You are not allowed to ignore messages anymore.
Get some rest.
—If I see Sang-hee in a bad state tomorrow, I'll assume that she didn't get enough rest tonight because she was too excited about this.
—Mianne.
—Oh my god, it always leaves you helpless.
—Let's go back together after the recording is over.
--Inside.
—At least add "senior" when you say it, otherwise it will seem really cold.
——[Voice Bar]
Upon opening the sent voice message, Kwon Ji-yong heard Sang Hee's earnest response, and the smile on his lips gradually widened.
He's actually not easy to coax at all.
This was just one part of his plan.
"Okay~ let's let Shangxi off this time, but don't let it happen again."
When Kwon Ji-yong uttered those words, his barely concealed smile automatically diminished their already limited intimidating power.
After replying to Kwon Ji-yong, Han Sang-hee stared at the message on the screen, lost in thought.
It doesn't seem like there's anything different?
Han Shangxi's rationality quietly kicked in at this moment. However, she did not regret her decision.
She was actually happy.
As for whether she would be in a passive position if the company found out that she chose to be with Kwon Ji-yong at this time.
Han Sang-hee stated that she now possesses the ability to be free from threats.
Whether facing President Yang or Director Jiang, she can choose to be unrestricted.
The subsequent recording went much more smoothly than the production team had imagined.
After reflecting on the first day, the production team decided that they would no longer necessarily have to verify the authenticity of the two artists' performances.
This is a variety show, after all.
The guests who appear can be considered actors.
The performance was very effective.
Documentaries are films that require verification of authenticity before filming can proceed.
Some of my previous ideas were completely putting the cart before the horse.
With this mindset in mind, the production team, seeing the two perform unexpectedly well during the recording, couldn't help but quietly sigh that these two were actually more suited to be actors than idols.
They have a very precise grasp of the chemistry between couples.
The production team doesn't need to worry about what time of day, what place, or what actions to take.
The skinship, which was rarely used in the shoot, did not diminish the expressive effect.
Instead, it makes people unconsciously look forward to when it will happen next.
Some shots are the kind that will completely captivate you at first glance.
An accidental touch while completing a task at the amusement park, followed by holding hands; a natural cheek-to-cheek contact followed by separation while taking a group photo on the beach...
If you didn't know that these two were always calm and natural after each shoot, it would be hard not to take these things seriously.
The writers on the production team looked at the two people in the footage and, unusually, felt a little regretful that this was just a variety show.
Despite the regret, the writers remained as decisive as ever when it came to arranging reshoots.
Filming overseas is said to take longer than filming in South Korea.
In reality, it only lasted five days.
This is just a variety show, and filming will have to end as scheduled.
—What is Sanghee's biggest takeaway from this trip?
The accompanying PD looked at Sanghee in front of him, still dutifully asking questions, but inwardly he was filled with anticipation for the next recording.
If nothing unexpected happens, she thinks this shoot could go on for a long time.
"It always feels novel to get along with familiar seniors in a way that is different from the past."
GD oppa is simpler than I imagined; he seems to have an approachable personality.
—After this trip, will Sanghee feel that the other person is more in line with her ideal type than before?
"Ideal type?"
Ah, actually, I secretly hope that G-Doppa won't hate me after the trip.
Being more like my ideal type also means that this senior colleague will dislike me.
With an unconscious smile as she answered questions and genuinely considering the hypotheses, Sanghee seemed to have a crush on the other person.
The PD always felt that if she were a viewer, she would definitely believe that the couple was real.
As for the truth or falsehood? As long as you act well enough, people won't care about the truth or falsehood.
Moreover, it would be terrible if genuine feelings were revealed on such a show for celebrities.
The PD unconsciously started thinking from Sanghee's perspective.
After the final pre-recording session, the first recording of Zhi Shang was successfully completed.
The footage collected over the past few days will be divided into four parts and officially broadcast a month later.
That was during the ETE recovery period.
This was something the production team and the company had discussed long ago.
These past few days, Han Sang-hee's most anticipated moment has been the PD announcing the end of recording.
No one doesn't look forward to leaving get off work.
When Han Sang-hee was told that the first recording session had officially ended, her smile widened even further.
However, the truth is the same.
Contrary to the production team's assumption that Sanghee was a good actress, Han Sang-hee actually recorded the show with genuine sincerity.
Following the instructions in the recording, Han Sang-hee reacted naturally and did not try to deliberately perform anything.
She does sometimes choose to avoid sensitive topics during recordings, but most of the time she presents her true self.
Concealing is the hardest thing to do.
However, the production team was clearly unaware of Sanghee's idea.
When the production team heard that the two had chosen to take the same flight back, their first thought was to marvel at their dedication.
—If every pair of guest performers could be like these two.
[Speaking of which, aren't these two being a little too blatant in their lack of discretion?]
LZ: The filming of "We Got Married" has finished, and they all came back together like this? [Image]
1L: Of course, real couples like us will have our own airport photos together!
7L: Is the original poster faking it or acting...?
LZ: Or do you expect me to say things like "Supreme is so sweet, I'll ship them first"? Do these two even remember they're idols? They're totally clueless.
19L: Putting everything else aside, I feel a little sorry for the fans.
22L: Feeling sorry for the fans is completely unnecessary. Because the fans will only think that all of this is fake.
27L: Guess who the OP's darling is this time? No prize for guessing, all answers are welcome.
31L: That's definitely not Shang Jie's fan. After all, Shang Jie's fans are currently outside admiring Shang Jie's beauty kkk
32L: You never know. There are many people who seem tough on the surface but secretly break down.
49L: They've already appeared on We Got Married, so do they really have to completely avoid each other after filming? That would just get them ridiculed for being unprofessional and become a public spectacle.
61L: To be honest, judging from these photos, Zhishang is actually quite adorable. A very casual set of photos, and whose leopard cat is it again?
75L: Your area seems so quiet today; there wasn't a fight this time.
84L: Are these fans really so easily offended? Weren't these two groups supposed to be rivals? [Thinking]
92L: All this arguing every day will exhaust even the most die-hard fans. The two fan groups were arguing for two or three days right before the recording.
107L: If I were a fan of both sides, I wouldn't even bother with this kind of topic anymore. It's a waste of time, and arguing back and forth won't get you any answers.
111L: I feel like most fans are desensitized by now, lol
135L: So even popular idols can get pampered if they appear on "We Got Married," right? I won't say anything about Kwon Yong having debuted for eight years. But I remember Sang Jie has only been in the industry for less than three years. She's a girl whose scandals are more memorable than her hit songs. I really don't know how she dared to diss him back then.
162L: This shows that they didn't talk about it back then. Besides, just because nobody cares about that diss track now doesn't mean we can ignore the fact that the lyrics weren't just dissing the scandal, but were downright defamatory.
169L: Shang Jie's status of being in a relationship or not has always been very obvious. She previously stated that she wouldn't consider dating before the end of her solo career. So what's wrong with trying a relationship after her solo career ends? It hasn't been made public, nor has it affected her idol activities.
181L: I truly admire fans who can convince themselves to this extent.
187L: So how do you explain Shang Jie's fans now? Shang Jie is so love-struck that she even appeared on "We Got Married," completely disregarding the fact that she is an idol who is about to make a comeback.
201L: What could be a better reward for all your hard work than openly and honestly picking the rose you admired in your youth on a TV show? The answer is no. Shang Jie's fans are just so happy for her [drinking tea], and appearing on "We Got Married" is also a warm-up for her upcoming comeback.
207L: Oh my, for a moment I don't know whether to be surprised by Quanlong's rose sculpture or by Shang Jiesi's good attitude...
211L: Cough cough [I choked], Shang Jie's fans are spoiling her way too much.
223L: Kwon Yong and Rose Sculpture, I have to say, there's a strange sense of compatibility between them. Actually, is it that the only fan is the biggest shipper for the Supreme Couple?
229L: Sister Weifan just said it casually, and it became another sweet moment.
243L: Roses, so dazzling and vibrant, symbolize endless romance, and they're a perfect match for Quanlong.
246L: Actually, Sister Shang is also very suitable for rose sculptures [chin resting on hand] The most radiant roses.
251L: Please make sure there are roses at the wedding of these two people, okay?
271L: Looking at it this way, the first person to suggest that Brother Long and Sister Xi perfectly fit the twin concept is simply a genius! They're both a team of prodigy producers who achieved fame at a young age, and both have very independent and opinionated personalities~
273L: I remember these two aren't the same age, right?
282L: Mismatched twins! Since you were late for some reason, you can't leave early. That's why our Xi-mei's love has always been clear! Just for kjy
298L: CPF has always been my most feared existence.
307L: Not only were there no arguments today, but there are also a lot of fans in this thread.
308L: Upstairs, actually, the majority of the fans are from the Supreme CPF.
311L: Both sides' fans have probably given up the fight.
316L: What more do they want from their fans? In some people's eyes, whatever fans do is wrong. Even if you immediately unfollow them, there will still be people mocking you. It's as if liking someone in the first place was a mistake.
321L: A dragon fan passing by, speechless. This dragon has been drained of its lifeblood like this, what more can its fans say?
328L: It seems that the fans of Long are still struggling, after all, the Shang Jie fan who appeared upstairs has already given up.
337L: No, no, no. Actually, the Dragon fans have already put on quite a show this time. Of course, I've always felt that the Dragon fans were secretly letting their fellow fans off the hook. After all, the Kwon Dragon fandom has recently undergone a major reshuffle, with group fans being directly marginalized. It's hard to say that the final straw that led to this wasn't Shang Jie's alternate account.
341L: After Shang Jie's alternate account was exposed, I felt a pang of sympathy for Kwon Yong-soo's fans for three seconds while reading your summary. To be honest, it's hard to imagine that the fans of the most popular member in the group are living like this. I always thought that Shang Jie's fans, who were always criticizing everyone and everything, were a more realistic portrayal.
349L: Group fans interfering with the solo fandom of a popular top member, demanding that solo fans extend their love to everything associated with the group... This kind of thing is inexplicable no matter where it happens.
357L: God knows how funny it is when I see an account with an ID, profile picture, and account content that's completely unrelated to Kwon Ji-yong and is arguing to defend the four members. It's hilarious how tolerant Kwon Ji-yong solo fans are.
363L: Hmm, Shang Jie's fans also came from the same source. There are plenty of group fans who cause trouble for Shang Jie under the guise of loving her because of her, but they've all been slapped by Shang Jie's fans before.
367L: Even after being slapped, they'll still stick to their guns, what can you do? Some people's mouths can hold up the sky even if it falls. When asked, they'll say things like, "Your idol loves the group more than you think," "XXX is the last group fan," and "Our X kids didn't offend anyone, they're all good kids."
I just wanted to say this: I'm a solo stan, so why would I care whether my bias loves the group or not? Their personal preferences have absolutely nothing to do with me; I just like their solo performances.
375L: We solo fans are so pathetic TT. Which solo fan wouldn't feel the same way after reading the comment above? Sometimes it's clearly a solo performance, but the audience keeps bringing up the group. Can't you respect solo performances? Solo fans would be criticized if they kept bringing up one person during group activities. But group fans think it's all just family making jokes without any malice.
381L: Group fans are equally speechless. Arguments between solo fans always start to affect the members themselves. Are group fans just supposed to watch the members get attacked? But then they get criticized for being heartless after a performance. Every comeback is a fight over parts, center positions, and camera time. The general public values the overall stage performance, but solo fans see any part featuring their favorite member as rigged or being persecuted.
403L: Everyone says that love given to only one person is precious, but who will cherish the love that our group fans give even more?
412L: To be honest, you can tell from these posts that the thought processes of group fans and solo fans are completely different.
414L: But this time I didn't see the phrase "Your idol can't survive without the group."
421L: Because these two are capable of solo team fights, they would realize that it wasn't raining outside at all when they left the team.
426L: Kwon Yong-il discovered after leaving the group that it's possible to achieve both digital music sales and physical music chart revenue. Those who understand this really cried.
430L: Sister Shang passed by and handed me a tissue.
434L: ...Shang Jie's fans are indeed worthy of being called Shang Jie's fans. They even learned to hand out tissues perfectly.
441L: 434L Your jokes are even more boring than the stage you're in charge of. Oh, no, the stage you're in charge of is even more boring.
442L: Sometimes a sharp tongue can be heartwarming.
451L: After looking around, I realized that the concept of "twin idols" isn't just limited to idols; even the fans of both idols fit the "twin idol" concept perfectly kkk
453L: To be honest, Shang Jiesi and Quanlong fans must have had moments when they were infatuated with each other, right?
457L: ...
462L: I've always suspected that the previous friction between these two companies was just an act, and that they are actually as close as family.
474L: Dragon fans and monk sisters are only gentle in your area.
The moment they appeared together at the airport, their fans started tearing each other apart again, showing no mercy when insulting each other's fans. Anyone who's egging others on in this thread would never have said those things if they'd even glanced at the content of their argument.
477L: How can this not be considered a different kind of flirting?
478L: Don't be so disgusting, upstairs TT
483L: Actually, even if they officially announce their marriage tomorrow, I wouldn't be surprised. I mean, I wouldn't be surprised by either side's fans.
485L: OMG, did you come up with such a bizarre idea because you were so bored while waiting for We Got Married to air?
493L: Anyway, let's just love each other like this~
497L: The comments in this thread are completely abusing the fans. It feels like rival fans are being forced to kiss.
505L: Your forum is so vicious kkk But I like it.
513L: I'm looking forward to the day when "We Got Married" airs. I feel like it will be very exciting.
521L: Actually, the "feeling" can be completely removed. The next period will be very lively, not to mention when it airs.
527L: Guess whether your region will choose to accept the bribe or mock everyone?
529L: It depends on EE's comeback performance. According to predictions, "We Got Married" airs right at the same time as EE's comeback. If the performance doesn't surpass EE's previous achievements, not only your region, but all social media will be mocking her. That'll be the most exciting time.
531L: What if the results are even better than before?
535L: What else is there to say? EE topped the charts. Given that both had their relationships exposed, EE's comeback performance was far superior. If EE doesn't top the charts, then who does?
536L: What the person upstairs said is dangerous, lol.
531L is just assuming that this result is better than EE's previous results, while the person upstairs is directly provoking a war between EE and senior groups.
543L: EE's score was already close to reaching the top. This kind of discussion has been a daily occurrence in your forum before, so what's the big deal?
549L: Is it really possible? I'm skeptical.
553L: Aren't the people who say EE can reach the top a bit too disrespectful to their seniors? They've only had a few comebacks and they're already dreaming of reaching the top? Especially with everyone being exposed for dating? It's just ridiculous.
567L: If you don't come back with the determination to reach the top, then this EE is completely doomed.
This is a do-or-die situation; it's either a win or a flop. There's absolutely no room for EE to escape.
581L: Thank you for your concern. Emily has never liked EE because of his achievements. We also welcome your attention to EE's first World Tour.
586L: Does EE still have group fans?
592L: Of course there are! Even if Shang Jie single-handedly ushered in the era of solo fans, and even if the other two members are confirmed to be favored by their favorites, there are still a lot of EE group fans, haha.
603L: EE and Sanghee were meant to complement each other. Eid is both death and rebirth; we, EE, are fine even if we have to start from scratch. Emily and ETE will create ETE's history together.
605L: So official... I feel a bit sleepy after reading this. I still prefer the doting fans of Sister Shang in the beginning of the thread.
608L: I heard that EE's group fan sites and solo fan sites have been competing fiercely over the number of albums they buy. Anyway, this time, at least in terms of sales, there's a good chance.
612L: If every time fans fight, it benefits the company and the idol's wallet, I don't think any company would not want fans to fight.
615L: That's just the truth. Sometimes, fan arguments are part of the company's plan.
618L: Waiji Building: I was initially puzzled when I heard the news that I was about to be upgraded, but then I saw that some fans had sent me money.
623L: This time, Yang Juhua's smile is truly as radiant as a chrysanthemum.
629L: Following Yang Juhua's career luck, I also want to be able to make money without any management.
633L: How can you say there's absolutely no management? WJ's PR expenses aren't just wasted.
635L: Fans focus on arguing, companies focus on making money, and idols focus on dating. Everyone gets what they want. How can this not be a win-win situation?
636L: Is Zhishang really in talks? The less they avoid suspicion, the less likely they are to be in talks.
641L: There's a concept called "the darkest place is under the lamp." Sometimes I really suspect that these two started dating before Shang Jie even debuted, and all the rumors in between were just a smokescreen.
643L: cpf, please don't daydream every day.
649L: Anyway, whether it was discussed privately or not, the promotional activities in "We Got Married" are real.
661L: We at Zhishang feel so sweet and at ease.
Han Shangxi had no intention of hiding her relationship.
However, sometimes the best stance is to neither admit nor deny.
Even if you choose to go public, you have to do it step by step.
Of course, this is not now.
It's too early to talk about those things now.
No one can predict what the future holds.
Taking advantage of the fact that they were going back to the company together, Kwon Ji-yong naturally ended up in the same car as Han Sang-hee.
Although the two assistants found this a bit strange, they didn't say anything more when Shang Xi didn't react.
After all, the company only paid them the salary for being assistants; being an undercover agent was a different price.
The atmosphere in the car became quiet for a moment.
"What are you thinking about?"
Kwon Ji-yong turned his head to look at Sang-hee beside him, who seemed to be thinking about something, and casually asked.
Although the two of them haven't been apart most of the time these past few days, Kwon Ji-yong would still choose to stay with Sang-hee if he could.
After all, this person seems to be keeping their relationship secret.
"I'm thinking about whether I should secretly take a few days off."
Han Sang-hee, who had no scheduled activities for the next few days, began to consider the possibility of taking a vacation.
If Chu Xia doesn't have anything urgent to do with Unnie after returning to the company, she really wants to take a vacation these next couple of days.
"It's definitely time to rest."
Kwon Ji-yong expressed his relief that Han Sang-hee had unusually taken the initiative to rest.
Shangxi pushed herself too hard.
This state can sometimes backfire.
"That's why I think that way."
Han Shangxi, as if possessed, replied with a statement that seemed to have no practical meaning.
Silence fell again.
The casual conversation between the two sounded to their assistants like a strained and awkward exchange tinged with tension.
You can't tell at all that these two were close and natural when recording the show.
It seems that the relationship between these two isn't as good as rumored.
The two assistants saw in each other's eyes that they agreed with each other's ideas.
When they arrived at the company and it was time to part ways, Han Shangxi showed the first smile on her face since she got into the car to go back to the company.
Goodbye, senior.
Sang-hee's smile, which was actually made happy by the possibility of taking a vacation, appeared to others to be provocative.
However, neither of the parties involved seemed to find it strange.
After they had completely parted ways, Kwon Ji-yong, with a joking intention, typed a message on his phone and sent it out.
—Shangxi, who is about to go on vacation, doesn't she want to see her boyfriend during the holiday?
He actually wanted to see Sang-hee's reaction when she received the message.
The way Shangxi earnestly rejected him was absolutely adorable.
"Why?"
However, Sang-hee's reply was indeed unexpected by Kwon Ji-yong.
