Chapter 41 GD got a new dog? (Bonus chapter for 250 retweets) Discussion...
Lee Seokmin felt like he had heard this question many times before, so he patiently explained, "Originally there were seventeen, but later there were only thirteen left. Now there are thirteen people plus three small teams, plus us as a whole, so it's Seventeen."
Jiang Tinghan finally resolved his doubts of the past few years and nodded seriously: "I see."
When she first learned that Seventeen only had 13 members, she thought it was like Bigbang, which had shrunk to three members, but she didn't seem to have heard any related news. Later, she found out that they actually only had 13 members, which was really presumptuous of her.
"A large group must be quite a spectacle, right?"
The atmosphere gradually became more relaxed, and Lee Seokmin joked, "That was really noisy."
Jiang Tinghan: "We're pretty much the same. When one of us says a sentence, the whole room is like having ten variety shows playing."
Lee Seokmin felt a strange competitive urge: "Then we have thirteen."
Jiang Tinghan: "Proportionally speaking, it's 16.25."
Li Shuomin felt that Jiang Tinghan was quite different from the aloof persona described online; in fact, he was quite humorous. She couldn't help but chuckle, "You're really good at math."
“I saw online that GD went to watch the finale of ‘Shining World’, wow, that’s so great… I wish GD would come to our concert someday.” Lee Seokmin became much more excited when Kwon Ji-yong was mentioned, and her eyes were full of longing. She was clearly a huge GD fan.
"GD sponsored your show, right? I really want a PMO collaboration outfit!"
Upon hearing the unexpected name, Jiang Tinghan's long eyelashes trembled, and her gaze became somewhat unfocused.
She deliberately ignored the first half of the sentence and said, "If it's the ones we're wearing, it seems like they'll be released soon."
"Dear?" Li Shuomin followed up, "Then I have no choice but to buy it. I hope I can snag one."
Jiang Tinghan glanced at the floor again and said casually, "The production team should have a lot in stock."
She glanced at her phone out of the corner of her eye and saw that Kwon Ji-yong had sent her several more messages; even stickier than a piece of candy.
The recording went smoothly for the two. Li Shuomin was a seasoned veteran and the lead singer of the group. Although Jiang Tinghan had only been to a formal recording studio a few times, he was already proficient.
They exchanged phone numbers, partly to expand their networks, and then went their separate ways.
Jiang Tinghan: [It's over. We exchanged phone numbers.]
Kwon Ji-yong: [(I'm jealous but I don't know what to say.JPG)]
Jiang Tinghan looked at the meme and smiled slightly. Didn't it say everything?
Should I repeat my conversation with DK?
Kwon Ji-yong: [No need]
[Never mind, I'll just say it anyway]
[...]
I'm afraid I couldn't handle it if I heard this. I'd get jealous if you talked to any man or woman. I've developed a jealousy-induced emptiness syndrome.
You could tell he was struggling a lot, and the last line of the lyrics was a subtle attempt to get attention.
What's the next line after "jealousy-induced emptiness" in *Autophagy*? He wants a hug from his girlfriend.
Jiang Tinghan: [(Ryan hugs a little bear.JPG)]
Although it's just a hug emoji, it's better than nothing. Kwon Ji-yong's eyebrows curved, revealing that little parenthesis smile that makes him look like he's back in his twenties, and his big white teeth were shining brightly.
Kwon Ji-yong: [When does Miss mean she'll come to my house next time? Tomorrow? The day after?]
[Oppa, I have to report where I go now, and I've handed over all my personal social media accounts. I can't exactly say I'm going to see my boyfriend for a private event, can I? My manager will yell at me like a sieve.]
Kwon Ji-yong was hit by the "smile-disappearing spell." He had been in the industry for so long that he had forgotten that such a rule existed in the early days of his career. This kind of relationship, where they might only see each other once every week or two, made him feel ten years younger.
I'll be here with Haha, waiting for you TT TT
He spoke as if he were a pitiful husband whose wife was out partying all day, while he was left at home, and then posted a picture of himself laughing, trying to evoke Jiang Tinghan's sympathy.
Haha is much more well-behaved when it's asleep than when it's awake.
Jiang Tinghan: [Look at the cat]
Kwon Ji-yong posted another photo of iye looking dignified.
[Look at the other one]
Kwon Ji-yong went to Zoa's toy room to find the little princess without complaint and took a picture with her.
Let's take a look at the other one.
Kwon Ji-yong was stunned for a moment. He shouldn't have a fourth pet, right?
Oh, it was him all along.
He took dozens of selfies from dozens of good angles, and then picked out the best one to send to the sender.
He guessed that Jiang Tinghan was his first love, but this girl seemed to be better at dating than him, often making his heart flutter with just a few words.
For example, right now, a head-patting emoji sent by his girlfriend has made him smile even more, but... would his girlfriend really treat him like a pet?
Oppa, DK seems to really admire you. He told me a lot of things he admires about you. You really are an idol for many people.
Jiang Tinghan's next message dispelled his wild thoughts. It didn't matter what kind of care he was given, as long as she loved him.
[kkk He also said he wanted to snatch the collaboration shirt between Pmo and SW]
Kwon Ji-yong replied with a touch of arrogance: "I haven't been working for nothing these past ten years since my debut."
It looks just like a big cat with its chin and tail raised.
Jiang Tinghan restrained herself from smiling, as her executive agent and other staff were around, and it would be terrible if she gave herself away.
With a stern face, she replied quickly: 【kiyo na】
Kwon Ji-yong: [? Kiyo? That's right? (Me?) I'm not kiyo at all, I'm a mature senior who's already acting like a fool.]
Jiang Tinghan: [If Oppa admits he's kiyo, I'll kiss you.]
Kwon Ji-yong's expression changed as quickly as flipping through a book: "Hmm...actually, I have a Kiyo side too, don't I?"
Jiang Tinghan: [(Ryan Little Bear Kiss.JPG)]
Kwon Ji-yong was furious: [That's it? I thought there would at least be a photo.]
The executive agent glanced at Jiang Tinghan, who had been texting with her head down since getting into the car. Her face was cold and she looked somewhat fierce. She wondered which clueless person on the other end of the chat had offended her.
"Coldy."
The agent's shout almost made Jiang Tinghan's heart jump out of her chest, but fortunately, she was usually expressionless and didn't seem to notice anything unusual.
"Is something bothering you?"
Jiang Tinghan turned off her phone and looked up expressionlessly: "No."
Privacy screen protectors are truly one of the greatest inventions in the world.
Seeing that his girlfriend was no longer replying, Kwon Ji-yong rolled around on the sofa a few times, feeling a bit bored. Haha next to him opened his eyes, and those clear blue eyes looked unusually evil.
He won't be bored anymore; the real excitement of his life is coming.
In 2022, in Seoul, it was the nth time that he had a free-fighting session with a husky. The fight ended with the husky biting the leaves of a potted plant in his home, and Kwon Ji-yong took him to the vet for a checkup.

[Someone spotted G-Dragon at a private pet hospital; he was holding a husky! Is it a new family member?]
[Poster]
[Images][Images][Video from Korean website] This dog doesn't look very big. Is GD really that free? He's even risking his life to keep a husky.
【1L】
He's someone who stays home all day and still keeps a dog? A husky needs to be taken out for walks, right? Is his life so easy that he's adding some trouble to his life?
【2L】
This dog is quite good-looking; it must cost several thousand or even tens of thousands of yuan. I'm more concerned about what will happen to his two cats. The older one seems to be six or seven years old; will they still have to suffer from the puppies?
【3L】
You wouldn't want the puppy to be active with two cats, would you? Speaking of which, won't getting a dog make the album even more indefinitely delayed?
【4L】
The person upstairs hit the nail on the head. You, Long, are so eager to be a father, but what about my album? My comeback?
【5L】
This husky looks like a little devil. He already has a cool, aloof Aspirin, a lazy blue chubby dog, and now he's got a husky with a completely different personality? Is he testing his stress tolerance?
【6L】
hh is Amoxicillin. I actually think he's a cat lover. He raised Jiahu when it was a puppy, and then it was all cats after it grew up. How come his preferences suddenly changed? Also, I feel like you, Long, have a fetish for ugly things; none of your pets are very good-looking. This husky of yours is super handsome; it'll probably grow into a big, destructive dog.
【7L】
Actually, it's an Alpine cat... iye's fans are furious, the young master is clearly very handsome!
【8L】
Please give me an accurate variety name!
【9L】
There's no such obligation! Even though Jiahu is a Shar Pei, he can't be good-looking. Iye is handsome, and Zoa is cute. Haters, get out!
【10L】
There's no obligation to spoil two cats! Let's wait and see if the husky grows into a giant canned dog. You're really good at raising pigs; I predict Instagram will be flooded with husky photos soon.
【11L】
Could it be his girlfriend's dog, being fostered at his house?
【12L】
Here we go again, this is just mind-blowing... Is imagining he's in love your daily gossip? What does having a husky for companionship have to do with being in a relationship?
【13L】
Because he doesn't seem like the type of person who would own a husky. His pet history shows he doesn't like overly noisy animals; he prefers quiet, lazy companions.
【14L】
Actually, I also think it's strange... Maybe it was a gift from a friend? He couldn't refuse it?
【15L】
If he himself didn't intend to keep it, his friend wouldn't offer it to him voluntarily. This isn't like a bag of cigarettes and alcohol that you can just leave anywhere; it's a real pet that requires care and attention.
【16L】
By the way, did anyone notice the little doll on GD's zipper pull? It probably wasn't part of the outfit; he must have fastened it himself. What a styling genius!
【17L】
It's amazing that he can hang a doll keychain on such a tiny hole. Just imagining it is quite funny. This little bear is so cute! I want to buy the same one too.
【18L】
I looked up some detailed pictures of his jacket. First, it's very expensive; second, the zipper pulls are quite large—some of G-Dragon's clever touches… I recognize the little bear; it should be Ryan from Kakao Friends. I've been to the Kakao Friends store in Hongdae, and I think the official version is only around 100 yuan.
【19L】
Wow, [enlarge image] did you also change your phone case to this Ryan brown bear? Have you recently stopped liking Kitty and Mickey Mouse and started loving this bear?
【20L】
Holy crap, I bought this phone case at Rakuten World last time! They're all the same models I could own!
【21L】
Although Ryan is already quite popular, I have a feeling that there will be many more people taking Ryan out in public soon. Ryan looks great in brown and beige outfits.
【22L】
Quanlong's Life as a Livestream Salesperson
[23L]
I've never been to South Korea, and although I've seen this little bear on social media before, I didn't know its name. Now I'm a pro at searching for and ordering it; I want it whenever it appears on my person—its power is terrifying...
[24L]
I'm curious what this husky puppy's name will be. I'm sure it'll have a really sweet name. I think "iye" and "zoa" are both nice names.
【25L】
Coincidentally, Quanlong posted a short video saying that his silly dog ate some houseplants, thankfully they weren't poisonous, but it was resentful that Quanlong took it to the vet. It started howling and whining whenever Quanlong touched it. The dog's cry was "haha," I don't know if that means "haha," but that's how it's pronounced.
【26L】
It's like a demon child has been born... But Haha? That's hilarious! Didn't Haha previously invite Long to be the godfather of his child? How did he suddenly become Long's little husky?
[27L]
Haha must have felt a mix of emotions seeing the news. I remember he's mentioned GD quite a bit over the years.
【28L】
Could it be because it's a husky that it's called "Haha"? So simple and unpretentious.
[29L]
Do huskies also have the surname "Ha" in Korean?
【30L】
The surname is Ha-seu-ki. Congratulations, you've raised a super vengeful, dim-witted puppy! Your life must be quite "colorful."
【31L】
Haha, it's okay to chew on some green plants, but if you chew on Wolong's lyric book, the ladies will get angry!
【32L】
Actually, the lyric book didn't contain much writing at all.
【33L】
Tears welled up in my eyes. I thought Kwon Yong would make a comeback in the first half of 2023, since he suddenly had so many activities. But this dog shattered all my hopes. I feel so hopeless...
【34L】
Owning a dog shows that Long is truly a loner; two cats aren't enough to alleviate his loneliness. Besides, although he's been more active lately, it's mostly just posting on Instagram or going to see performances offline. Apart from magazine shoots, he hasn't had any other real public appearances. If he were to truly make a comeback, he should at least appear on variety shows and do some interviews.
【35L】
Stop talking! Stop talking! I don't want to hear it! How could this despicable father of three be so heartless to us fans!
【36L】
At least he didn't secretly marry and have a real child. He's been scared off by celebrities who suddenly have children, so he only accepts kittens and puppy babies. Thank you.
【37L】
Don't be so sure, maybe...
【38L】
Don't do that!
【39L】
I'd be more accepting if he had a girlfriend!
On December 31st, the last day of 2022, Lumera, who had been busy with recording and music video shooting, finally got a break!
They only have a short one-day holiday, and they'll be back to their busy lives tomorrow, but they're already very content.
The Korean members didn't have to pack anything and quickly went home, while the foreign members could only call their families.
China and Japan are relatively close, and a round trip within a day is feasible. Anri Tsukichi took a spontaneous trip, but Jiang Tinghan would have to endure several hours of travel to reach the mountains after landing at the airport, which would take longer. Her parents also told her to rest well first and find time to get together during the Spring Festival.
Therefore, she can only continue to be a Korean illegitimate child.
"Yo-ho-ho?" Jiang Tinghan answered the phone; it was Kwon Ji-yong calling.
Since he started dating, Kwon Ji-yong's voice has always sounded a little sweet. Sometimes he tries to lower his voice, but it involuntarily rises as soon as he speaks: "Ting Han, do you want to come to my house? Let's celebrate the New Year together."
Jiang Tinghan was somewhat surprised: "Oppa, don't you have meals with your family?"
Kwon Ji-yong chuckled lightly: "I can see my family anytime, but I haven't even seen my girlfriend ten times yet. I think I should cherish the opportunity."
He went straight to the point: "I want to see you, do you want to see me?"
The question and answer about "whether I want to or not" seemed to have occurred many times between them, and it felt very familiar. Jiang Tinghan lowered his eyes slightly: "Why do you think I don't want to?"
Kwon Ji-yong's voice chuckled even more as he clarified, "I never assumed you didn't miss me. I know you do, and you do too, haha."
Jiang Tinghan seemed to imagine his smug look and teased, "I was thinking of you while I was having a good laugh."
Quan Zhilong readily complied: "Yes—"
"Come on over, I've decorated the house so you won't want to leave."
Kwon Ji-yong's home is located in Hannam-dong. It is said that the apartment is on the top floor and has a view of Namsan Tower.
Jiang Tinghan dressed in a neutral style, wearing a loose hoodie and joggers. She imitated Kwon Ji-yong's double-hat style, with her hair completely covered. She even found an old photo of Kwon Ji-yong and tried to do her male idol's eye makeup and eyebrow shape, without false eyelashes, making them look quite sharp.
Looking at herself in the mirror, I feel she has the potential to debut as a male idol. She doesn't need to learn anything like winking, sticking out her tongue, or licking her lips. She might need to work on this hip-touching pose, but it looks too rubbish and can be discarded.
She first went to a nearby shopping mall and bought an oversized red sweatshirt. Although she didn't know what size Kwon Ji-yong was, judging from his figure, it should be similar to hers. Then she changed into it and went to Kwon Ji-yong's house. It was a kind of multiple layers of cover, not sure if it would work, but she did it anyway.
This apartment is definitely not in the same league as the last one; the quality is on a completely different level.
As soon as the door opened, Jiang Tinghan knew what Quan Zhilong meant by "the way you don't want to leave."
One wall in the living room has been covered with new wallpaper featuring images of banknotes, and upon closer inspection, you can even see Kwon Ji-yong's face printed in the center.
Jiang Tinghan subtly grasped Kwon Ji-yong's thoughts.
Money, her favorite thing.
G-Dragon, her love life.
Money + GD = Double love = Don't want to leave?
Hey! It's not real! What's the point!
According to her speculation, the wallpaper should disappear tomorrow, part of Kwon Ji-yong's antics.
I must say, it had a pretty good comedic effect.
All three pets were in the living room. Haha remembered Jiang Tinghan's scent and rushed over enthusiastically, wagging its tail wildly. The other two cats were very wary and ran away as soon as they saw a stranger.
Jiang Tinghan put down the shopping bag containing clothes on the coffee table, patted Haha's head, looked around, and muttered, "Where is everyone?"
Hurried footsteps came from not far away. Kwon Ji-yong came out of the kitchen carrying a pot of steaming soup, wearing an apron, looking every bit the dutiful husband and father.
Upon seeing her, Kwon Ji-yong smiled brightly: "It's just lunchtime. I cooked all the dishes myself today."
Jiang Tinghan let out a completely emotionless exclamation: "Wow—"
If you listen carefully, you can hear a slight tremor.
Question: Will this feast be instant noodles? If not...
I hope he's alright.
