Chapter 77 and GD's Cha (Bonus Chapter by Qingchi Zuihua Qianshui) ...
What should we talk about? Kwon Ji-yong strongly requests—"Wildfire"!
Jiang Tinghan could guess without even thinking that he remembered clearly what had happened to him a year ago, let alone the variety show a few days ago.
She did something with a certain male idol, and Kwon Ji-yong had to do the same thing too; he's a very possessive copycat.
Jiang Tinghan has been extremely busy lately. She also went to the MMA to receive an award and gave a performance that was just as spectacular as the MAMA. It's not easy to find time for that, so she arranged "house hunting" and "cha-shooting" on the same day.
This move made Kwon Ji-yong even more determined to seduce Jiang Tinghan into living with him. They had been dating for a year but still rarely saw each other, and they didn't even know if they could make up a month's worth of meetings. If they could live together, they could see each other every day.
He had already made up his mind; he could move into Jiang Tinghan's new home with just a dog, two cats, and his own belongings.
Early in the morning, Kwon Ji-yong appeared openly at Wake One, wearing a black daisy-print cardigan with a gray and white striped low-cut top, a snowflake necklace hanging on his chest, and his cuffs slightly rolled up, revealing his bony wrists with red bracelets and black rubber bands. He wore semi-black-rimmed glasses and the overall color scheme was relatively calm and dark, giving him a very masculine look.
Without any attempt to conceal it, anyone who sees him can immediately recognize him as G-Dragon.
On his way to the practice room, Kwon Ji-yong ran into a few junior artists, who happened to be one of the male leads in his girlfriend's music video, and coincidentally, the one from "Always You".
The other person was extremely surprised to see him, and seemed to freeze in place, not knowing what to do. They looked at Kwon Ji-yong several times.
It really is G-Dragon!
Zhang Hao bowed nervously: "Hello, GD senior!"
Kwon Ji-yong nodded slightly, revealing a gentle smile: "Hello, Zhang Hao-xi."
He secretly sized up the male junior in front of him, thinking to himself, "How come all the idols these days are so tall? They must be so well-nourished."
The two exchanged a brief glance and then went their separate ways. Kwon Ji-yong's steps quickened at the thought of seeing his girlfriend soon, but Zhang Hao kept turning back, still immersed in shock.
Is it GD? Yes, it's definitely GD!
How did GD end up in WK1?
And—GD actually knows his name?!
This is unbelievable!
Moreover, GD's walk is really different; it has a kind of powerful yet understated feel to it.
Kwon Ji-yong, led by the staff, pushed open the door to the practice room, only to find it completely empty; Jiang Tinghan hadn't arrived yet.
They agreed to meet at 9:00 AM, and it's 9:10 AM now. He's already late, and Jiang Tinghan arrived even later than him; he's practically the king of lateness.
The staff were also a little nervous when they saw the empty practice room, and they observed Kwon Ji-yong's expression.
Oh my god... Will GDxi be angry? There's no such thing as a senior waiting for a junior.
This is so strange. Coldyxi is always very punctual. He shouldn't be late, right? Maybe he got stuck in traffic?
Kwon Ji-yong put down the cup of hot coffee he was carrying, smiled slightly at the staff, and said in a gentle tone, "I can wait here by myself. You can go ahead and get back to work."
The staff member said cautiously, "Um... GDxi, you can tell me if you need anything."
With a "click," only Kwon Ji-yong remained in the practice room. He didn't mind, and simply sat cross-legged against the mirrored wall, taking out his phone to watch Jiang Tinghan and his teammates' "Wildfire" challenge.
The second challenge in his life: Xiao Quan didn't prepare in advance. How could he expect Jiang Tinghan to personally teach him every detail if he practiced on his own?
But he couldn't be completely unprepared, so he decided to cram at the last minute.
About twenty minutes later, the door to the practice room opened, and the blonde girl walked in with her head drooping, looking drowsy. When she saw Kwon Ji-yong, she lazily yawned.
"Oppa, good morning..."
Her outfit today was also very casual: a blue tight-fitting crop top with a sporty gray hoodie on top, and slightly ripped jeans. It would let in some wind and make her feel more alert when she was outside, but once she got into the office, she felt much warmer and started to feel sleepy again.
The color scheme of her outfit matched Kwon Ji-yong's quite well; both were rather cool and dark. The most ingenious thing was that she also wore the same birthday gift from Kwon Ji-yong—the emerald snake necklace.
Kwon Ji-yong raised an eyebrow at her, who looked like she was about to fall asleep at any moment: "Good morning."
Did you go to bed very late last night?
Jiang Tinghan struggled to open his eyes, looking dazed and unusually blank: "It seems I slept... for four hours? Or five hours?"
"Don't overwork yourself. You can leave the stage choreography to the professionals. You just need to be responsible for the inspection and revisions." Kwon Ji-yong reached out and ruffled Jiang Tinghan's hair with one hand, while holding up a hot coffee in the other and pressing it against his girlfriend's face.
Jiang Tinghan took the coffee that Quan Zhilong had inserted the straw for and handed him, took a sip, and immediately wrinkled his face: "It's a bit bitter."
Kwon Ji-yong smiled slyly: "Just in time to wake up."
Jiang Tinghan glanced at Kwon Ji-yong, then reached out and took off his "1988" baseball cap, deliberately pulling it off hard and messing up Kwon Ji-yong's smooth black hair.
This person really has a knack for bizarre combinations, like wearing headphones on a hat.
Kwon Ji-yong's expression changed instantly, his tone becoming more pitiful as he covered his face and said playfully, "No way, I can't face anyone without a hat, this is my fate."
Jiang Tinghan immediately laughed, shoving the coffee, hat, and headphones back into Kwon Ji-yong's hands: "Oppa, do you know how to dance? Want to—"
Before she could even finish speaking, Kwon Ji-yong eagerly replied, "Yes!"
"..." Jiang Tinghan's eyes curved into a smile. "Alright, shall we practice it once more, just a simple one?"
"Okay," Kwon Ji-yong nodded, then took another sip of the coffee that Jiang Tinghan had just drunk, and a unique flavor burst forth on his tongue.
It was indeed a bit bitter.
The staff member who helped guide the way and was in charge of filming was watching with utter disbelief.
I was already shocked by GDxi's familiar tone at first, let alone the subsequent head pats, coffee cheek touches, hat removal... and now this is even more natural—an indirect kiss?!
Wow, are these two really a couple?!
The staff accepted it in a second and began to find the interaction between the two sweet.
No wonder Coldyxi was late; it turns out his girlfriend made him wait.
There are two types of chorus for the song "Wildfire": one is a simplified hand gesture dance, and the other is the original version, which requires a high level of rhythm and coordination. If the person being chorus is not the main dancer, the first type is generally used.
Bigbang obviously doesn't have a category for "XX favorites," but this is G-Dragon, so Jiang Tinghan simply assumed he could skip to the original version.
Jiang Tinghan led Kwon Ji-yong through the dance once. Although she had already witnessed Kwon Ji-yong's dancing skills when filming the "Snow Nails" MV, she was still very surprised to see him dance again. The quality was completely different.
Jiang Tinghan has seen many idols who dance well over the years. Kwon Ji-yong may not look as energetic, but he is the most memorable. No matter what dance he does, he will dance it in his own style.
Furthermore, Kwon Ji-yong's joints are very flexible and adaptable, making him well-suited for girl group dances.
Jiang Tinghan examined it for a while, then suddenly had a brilliant idea: "I feel like it would look great with a short skirt on top. Aren't skirt and pants combinations very popular now?"
"Me?" Kwon Ji-yong pointed to himself.
Jiang Tinghan blinked: "Mmm!"
Kwon Ji-yong didn't object to Jiang Tinghan dressing him up, but he had some ulterior motives: "Tinghan, why don't you give me your coat?"
Tying the hoodie around your waist creates a draped and fluffy effect similar to a skirt, and more importantly, you can wear Jiang Tinghan's clothes—it's a win-win situation.
Jiang Tinghan didn't say anything, but simply opened her palm. Quan Zhilong took off his rubber band and placed it on her. He watched as she lifted her long hair and tied it into a simple low ponytail, then took off her hoodie, revealing a sky-blue tight-fitting top with the silver letters "COLD" printed on it.
Kwon Ji-yong accepted it with a smile. After tying the hoodie on, it looked rather hip-hop, which didn't suit the more gentle and elegant black cardigan he was wearing. In the end, the two of them swapped jackets. Jiang Tinghan didn't wear the cardigan properly and stiffly either, but wrapped it around her neck like a shawl. She also happily accepted Kwon Ji-yong's half-black-rimmed glasses.
Without realizing it, I started playing with things the staff couldn't understand, but after putting them together like this, it definitely looks more fashionable.
Is this what G-Dragon and Coldy's fashion sense is like? They even had to redo their styling before a photoshoot, that's incredible...
“Oppa…” Jiang Tinghan rested her chin on her hand, looking at Kwon Ji-yong’s wrong gesture. She was about to correct him, but then changed her mind, “Never mind, it looks pretty good this way too.”
Kwon Ji-yong suddenly realized: "Ah, it's between these two fingers?"
“Yes, but Oppa’s doing it makes your tattoo more noticeable. It’s a good improvement.” Jiang Tinghan gave a thumbs up.
"Then I'll do it like this." Kwon Ji-yong raised his left hand to cover his eyes, and what he saw directly in front of his eyes was the five-pointed star on the back of his hand.
Jiang Tinghan stood up, stretched his back, and said lazily, "Whatever."
"And then do this." Kwon Ji-yong straightened his drooping hand and pulled Jiang Tinghan into his arms.
Jiang Tinghan: "?"
"That's not allowed."
Kwon Ji-yong: "Didn't you say it was up to me?"
Jiang Tinghan's lips curled slightly: "If you don't want to touch me, then do as you please."
Before the staff member felt a toothache, the filming finally began. As soon as the music started, the two people who had just been laughing and joking around suddenly had a completely different aura.
Kwon Ji-yong lowered the brim of his hat, and the light made it appear dim and like a golden-orange liquid, covering almost half of his face, with only his chin showing.
His gaze was also downward, looking at the top of Jiang Tinghan's head as she squatted down in front of him. Beneath the ponytail was a snow-white nape of her neck, and a small, delicate silver earring on her earlobe. So this is what it feels like from this perspective.
Cha's choreography is different from the duo dances in the group. Both of them take a clean and crisp step, combined with swinging their arms to hit the beat, and exert their core power to control each wave just right, showing the strength in flexibility.
The staff filming couldn't help but be amazed, feeling that the two had somewhat similar dance styles and looked so harmonious. GDxi even danced more gracefully than Coldyxi.
The two danced so naturally and gracefully, as if it were a natural performance, that the staff didn't know where to look.
The original back-to-back position became one in front of the other facing the camera. Jiang Tinghan even had Quan Zhilong stand in front of her. The two of them took a quick cross step to approach each other, and when they almost collided, they leaned back and froze at the same time. They switched positions in the blink of an eye and continued their smooth and rhythmic movements.
Even when they were closest, there was still a half-person distance between them. There was no intimate interaction at all, only a very enjoyable dance to watch. It was as if they were having a dance battle with all their might. In the end, they both bent their wrists backward at the same time, and the backs of their hands were stacked together. But if you look closely, you can still see that there is an inch between them. Their wrist and palm joints are incredibly flexible, and their fingertips move like snake heads.
The scene was filmed in one take, and Jiang Tinghan yawned again a second later. She put on Kwon Ji-yong's cardigan, thanked the staff, and then followed Kwon Ji-yong to the underground parking garage.
The two of them crawled into the back seat and started sleeping, one on top of the other. Jiang Tinghan didn't pay attention and unknowingly leaned on Quan Zhilong's shoulder, falling asleep in a ball, their blond and black hair intertwined and messy.
The driver glanced at the owner and his wife in the rearview mirror, silently started the car, and very considerately took the same route back to the destination.
After sleeping for another hour, Jiang Tinghan finally felt a bit more energetic when she got out of the car, and the thought of seeing the new house soon made her even more energetic.
The two spent the afternoon looking around and felt that the high prices were indeed justified. The apartment in Cheongdam-dong was the one that Jiang Tinghan was most interested in, after all, it cost six billion!
Jiang Tinghan weighed his own savings in mind and discussed it with Quan Zhilong:
"Oppa, I'll pay half, you pay half, and I'll pay you back later."
Quan Zhilong revealed his true intentions: "I have a better way. We can live together, and then you won't have to pay me back, Tinghan."
She knew that anyone who offered unsolicited kindness was either up to no good or had ulterior motives.
Jiang Tinghan offered a reasonable analysis: "Oppa, compare your old apartment with this one. Do you think it can fit all your things? Especially the entire walk-in closet on this floor."
This was a very easy problem for Kwon Ji-yong. He said casually, "Then I'll buy a bigger one."
"Fine, this will do." Jiang Tinghan crossed his arms and said helplessly, "Oppa, you're the only one who's always making trouble for yourself."
Wouldn't that mean running between Cheongdam-dong and Hannam-dong?
Kwon Ji-yong put his arm around Jiang Tinghan's waist and laughed, "Although it's a bit of a hassle to come and go, I just want to live with you. If I can see Tinghan as soon as I open my eyes, my whole day will be in a good mood."
Jiang Tinghan chuckled and pinched Kwon Ji-yong's face: "Then Oppa, you'll have to wait patiently. This place still needs renovation, so it's impossible to move in this month. Next month, we'll be flying to various countries."
Kwon Ji-yong sighed more and more as he listened. When he was an idol, he was away from home for most of the year. Now that it should be the perfect time to date, his girlfriend is so busy that she barely has time to breathe. It's just that he came at the wrong time.
Although the money is split in half, Jiang Tinghan actually benefits more because the house was purchased in her name. Great, she won't have to worry about using her savings to buy a house anymore.
However, her savings have shrunk considerably, and she has to start working hard again; people can never have too much money.
Just as Jiang Tinghan was feeling lightheaded from spending a large sum of money, Lumera had already released a new "Wildfire" challenge video on TikTok.
Fans excitedly clicked on the new content, and the first thing they saw was Jiang Tinghan, Coldy's new chapter! Yay!!!
Then they looked to the side—
Wait a minute, who is this?
Although their faces were covered, their trendy outfit and the number 1988 on their hat already gave them a bad feeling, and then they looked at the accompanying text.
【Coldy×Wildfire×G-Dragon】
My heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally died.
After carefully watching this video, it seems... she really did dance quite well?
This is the second official appearance of Coldy and GD together. The sexual tension they exude when they stand together is still there. Especially when they get close, both solo fans and CP fans feel breathless. When their arms are intertwined at the end, they scream.
【Who is this? Seriously? Moragu? How could they bring in this giant Buddha statue?】
[This is unbelievable. So far, Chicken Derrick only had one challenge against his teammate Suns, and now the second one is reserved for Coldy?]
[Shocking... Utterly shocking! Who are you talking about? GD? Is it G-Dragon, who just weathered a huge storm?]
[I'm speechless with shock. I never imagined GD would appear on Lumera's official account, especially as Coldy's cha.]
[Could this be GD repaying a debt of gratitude? After all, Coldy's support for him was quite effective, and I remember GD being a very grateful person.]
[It's not impossible, after all, it wasn't easy to stand on the same side as him at that time, especially during the crucial period of his comeback, but Coldy still did it resolutely.]
Actually, no, it's been officially announced.
Removing "Wildfire" leaves "Coldy×GD," what kind of kind person would write it like that? Isn't this practically an official announcement?
[OMG! It's GD and Coldy?! They look so good dancing together!]
After watching this video, I think these two are a perfect match, even their outfits are so stylish they're making me sweat.
[Ahhh, Coldy's glasses look so good on her, she looks like a knowledgeable older sister. GD, what kind of ultimate mix-and-match style is this? Who is he trying to seduce with that low neckline?]
Need I say more? It's obviously the guy next door.
[Can you please fire the person who posted this video? Are you trying to drive the fans crazy?]
Don't take your frustrations out on ordinary working people. What's the big deal? These two still have a collaboration song they're keeping under wraps, don't they?
[Exactly! You've broken your nerves so many times and you still aren't used to it? You get so angry over a simple rap, what will you be like when the collaboration is released? You'll be dying over and over again!]
Putting everything else aside, this scene is genuinely beautiful, possessing a magical quality that compels me to rewatch it repeatedly. The chemistry between the two is truly a mysterious thing; for details, please see the comparison between "Knowing Bros" and this scene—the difference in quality is immediately apparent.
Yes, the scene in "Knowing Bros" was much closer; they were basically dancing intimately. Except for the final interaction, the two maintained a respectful distance. But that scene in "Knowing Bros" was just funny; it made me have a lot of worldly desires.
[Just by looking at that low-cut outfit, you can tell he's a bad boy. Don't be fooled by bad men, unnie!]
GD's dancing is still the same; even if you can't see his face, you can recognize him. He's so unique!
[Ahhh, they both danced so coolly! One of them is my husband, and the other is also my husband. I'm willing to step aside and let your relationship be complete!]
[This dual-strength dynamic is so satisfying! This scene perfectly showcases what dual strength means; it feels like both characters desperately want to defeat each other while simultaneously harboring a deep desire for one another—that's the kind of tantalizing feeling.]
[You can't see GD's eyes, but Coldy looks at him every time he gets close to GD or switches positions with him. His gaze...tsk tsk tsk, you can't say it's innocent.]
This feels really different. It seems like Cha Coldy is much more serious this time (not that she wasn't serious before). It's the difference between being serious about work and being serious about doing what you love.
[I declare this to be the best censorship of Wildfire besides the original!]
[And this is WK1's practice room! Oh my god, the seniors even came to the juniors' company just to film a scene with them. Who wouldn't ship them?]
【WK1, did your ancestors accumulate good karma? What incredible luck have you had these past two years?】
[I don't understand why they keep pairing them up. They've been doing this since September. Are they that desperate for CP (couple) buzz?]
Coldy has countless potential partners, just like weeds growing by the roadside. The fact that there are so many proves that the two of them have a really good relationship.
【I can't stand you anymore, Coldy! I feel like every breath this guy has is a provocation. What's the point of continuing to associate with him even though you know fans dislike him? I tolerated supporting him before, but this backlash is really unnecessary. His new album has been out for a month, what's the point of this backlash? Aren't MAMA and MMA enough promotions?】
[If you can't stand it, just unfollow. I'm already on the verge of unfollowing, but I haven't found a new fan yet. Where am I supposed to find Coldy meal replacements?]
[It's precisely because Coldy doesn't use meal replacements that they dare to act so recklessly. Do you even remember you're an idol?]
[I can't stop laughing. One scandal made all the solo fans assume that GD is real. Coldy has also filmed quite a few scandals with his rumored boyfriend, and DK is a regular feature on every album. Why is there such a big reaction to GD? You all know that GD is really his brother-in-law, right?]
[If all else fails, just switch from being a solo fan to a couple fan and enjoy a happy life.]
[So this is where the sweet moments of December came from! I've already thoroughly enjoyed them, Unnie Oppa!]
[I noticed they weren't wearing their coats properly; one was hanging it around their neck, the other tied it around their waist. Okay, I'm totally smitten again. And that hat and headphones combination... I don't understand. Is this how trendy guys and girls date?]
[Am I the only one focusing on GD dancing to a girl group song again? He's so fluid, he's amazing at it! It reminds me of some G-Lark (G-Lark) videos lol]
Hahaha, just thinking about Bigbang dancing to girl group songs makes me laugh. I still can't forget "I Love You."
GD has always been perfectly suited to dancing to girl group songs. His performance of "Cheer Up" was also fantastic, and his dance to "Wildfire" was incredibly energetic. The combination was simply amazing to watch! GD, you should dance for the rest of your life!
[A born stage king! When are you coming back? If not, please release the collaboration song first.]
[Miscarriage Assistance]
[Solo fans are still angry, this really can't be aborted, right? Who knows how many records it will break once the collaboration is released]
I'm more curious whether this connection came from Coldy's own network or was brought in by WK1.
[You overestimated WK1. Do you think it's possible? It's definitely thanks to Coldy himself. He's the only one who wasn't GD's teammate but still managed to get choked. Our Coldy is truly the eternal No.1.]
This challenge indeed caused a huge uproar online, with the number of views and likes soaring at the fastest rate ever, reaching two million likes in a single day.
Many people dislike GC, but even more secretly feel that GC is a good match! And even if you don't ship them, you'd still want to give it a thumbs up for this quality. The allure of two top-tier fans together is multiplied many times over!
Following that, Wake One officially announced that G-Dragon had become a strategic partner of the company.
Netizens were like, "Huh?!"
Office romance?!
