Chapter 158 Quan Zhilong feels wronged
Out of the corner of my eye, I saw that the phone had been hung up automatically because no one answered it for too long. The people who had advised her to call became even more panicked. She had only been on stage for more than ten minutes, or about twenty minutes including the round trip, and then she disappeared?
"You answered other people's calls instead of unnie's..." Unlike her unnies, Minzy couldn't help but complain.
Ye-eun raised her lips, raised her hands and hooked them around Min-ji's neck, and said with a smile: "Oh my god, then I'll go back with you and leave him alone."
She lowered her head and used her other hand to send a message to Quan Zhilong, wondering where the other person was going in such a hurry.
Quan Zhilong, who had been driving in a hurry, heard the phone ringing from the coat he had casually thrown on the back seat. He suddenly remembered that he had forgotten to tell Yi Eun.
He drove to a temporary parking spot urgently, and after turning off the engine, he leaned over between the driver's seat and the passenger seat to pull his clothes back, then took out his cell phone from his pocket and saw that it was indeed Ye-en.
[Where have you been? (feeling wronged), you left me behind! ]
Even in this situation, Quan Zhilong couldn't help but laugh. He lowered his head and sent her a message back.
[We broke up, and Joo Hyuk is crying his eyes out. I'll go back to Seoul to see him first.] ]
Ye-eun was stunned when she received the message. Did Joo-hyuk oppa break up? No wonder he was so anxious.
Even though the other party's words "crying loudly" were definitely exaggerated, Ye-eun couldn't help but sigh. Joo-hyuk oppa must be very sad, after being in a relationship for almost three years.
And even they could see how devoted Zhuhe Oppa was to this relationship. Even Joo Hyuk went to a friend's wedding with senior Kim Min Hee last time, and they all thought that he would continue to live happily with that senior.
[Then you should go back quickly. The members and I will go back in the evening. ]
It was ten o'clock in the evening, and the car had just entered Seoul. Ye-eun supported her chin and looked at the brightly lit streets outside the car window. She didn't know what had happened to Joo-hyuk oppa, but it should be better with Ji-ryong's comfort.
It is obvious that Lee Joo Hyuk's personality is completely opposite to Kwon Ji Yong's. One likes to have fun with his friends, while the other likes to stay at home. However, the two of them miraculously get along well. Lee Joo Hyuk is willing to go only when Kwon Ji Yong is in the club.
Sometimes, even when Ye-eun couldn't make an appointment with Lee Joo-hyuk, Kwon Ji-yong would make him come out just by giving him a call.
They obviously knew each other at the same time! Yi Eun puffed her cheeks and thought, this time during the breakup, she only called Zhilong, it was really too much!
However, even though she thought this in her heart, she still hoped that Zhu He Oppa would not cry so hard that his heart was broken.
"Ye'en, come over here. After Zhilong drank... he suddenly felt aggrieved." When Ye'en, who had just got off the car, received a call from Li Zhuhe, the expression on her face froze.
"Ah?" The background noise in the phone was a little noisy. She silently looked up at the dim sky, suspecting that she had heard it wrongly. Who was breaking up and who was wronged? ?
Yien was speechless and a little bit incredulous. Get yourself drunk first to comfort the other person? No matter how you think about it, this is not Kwon Ji-yong's character.
After all, although he loves to drink, he also knows his limits and will definitely restrain himself in this situation.
However, the other party's tone was full of helplessness: "He drove here by himself today. I'm drunk and can't take him home. You can come and pick him up. I'll send you the address."
"Really..." Ye Eun couldn't help but let out a long sigh, wondering why Kwon Ji-yong would get drunk in such a situation. Facing someone who had to comfort her best friend after a breakup, she began to feel apologetic, and spoke cautiously, "I'll be there now, Oppa...are you okay?"
Li Zhuhe was silent for a few seconds, then said softly: "It's okay, come on, I'll wait for you here."
Ye-eun hurried to the bar address Lee Joo-hyuk had sent her. Before she even went down to the basement, she heard noisy sounds inside. She couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.
Two years ago, TOP Oppa organized a close group called Nu Thang, and Ye Eun also joined it. However, in the past two years, Kwon Ji-yong has become more and more interested in the fashion circle, making more and more friends, and gradually they formed a small group called +82.
The members are all very individual people, and almost all of them are always smoking and drinking. Alcohol is fine by them, but Ye-eun really doesn't like the smell of cigarettes. Even Kwon Ji-yong wouldn't smoke when Ye-eun participated. However, the other members couldn't control their smoking addiction, and every gathering was filled with smoke.
Even though she liked Kwon Ji-yong's rebellious look in front of this group of friends, the smell of cigarettes was too strong, so Ye-eun gradually stopped attending their gatherings.
Kwon Ji-yong didn't mind. After all, he and Ye-eun would always be the closest. As for their other circles of friends, if they couldn't fit in, then they didn't. It wasn't a big deal.
Although Yeen doesn't participate much in their group activities, she knows everyone in it.
Similarly, these people don't meet Ye-en often, but they all know about their relationship. After seeing Yien coming, almost everyone raised their hand to greet her.
Everyone had a strong personality and the greetings were all informal. Two friends of other skin colors even raised their hands and tapped their foreheads in greeting.
Yien raised her hand and greeted them. When she saw their stylist Yokan was also there, she nodded as if it was nothing unusual and then looked away.
2NE1's stylist Yang Seung-ho had studied in the UK before and was a classmate of TOP. He got to know TOP through Zhiyong, and was later introduced by Zhiyong to YG and became their stylist.
But she is not as close to Yokan as CL and Zhilong are to him.
There was no reason, it was just that as the other party was 2NE1's stylist, their contact was inevitably more than other people. One time, Ye Eun accidentally saw the other party's mobile phone chat interface and played too much.
They were all colleagues, so she didn't tell anyone else. After all, the other person's relationship problems didn't affect their work.
YG’s visual director Ji-eun is also among them. She has been working at YG since 2000 and has watched the two children grow up.
She had long noticed that Zhilong was in a bad mood. When she saw Yi Enlai, she finally breathed a sigh of relief and raised her hand to pat Quan Zhilong on the shoulder, "Your girlfriend is here."
"Ouni." Ye-eun ignored Kwon Ji-yong who was sitting on the chair in silence. Instead, she smiled at Ji-eun and looked at Lee Joo-hyuk.
He shrugged helplessly, holding a cigarette in his slender fingers. He put the cigarette into the ashtray after seeing Yien, "Are you here?"
Ye-eun nodded, ignoring the aggrieved look behind her, and looked at Lee Joo-hyuk, "Oppa, are you okay?"
After all, they had been in a relationship for almost three years. A few days ago, I saw Joo Hyuk oppa post a photo of them together in his private updates, but I didn’t expect that they would break up in just two days.
It is very likely to be a cliff-like breakup, which is probably very painful.
Li Zhuhe really couldn't laugh today, but he never showed his emotions, so he couldn't cry, not to mention that someone was feeling sorry for him now...
He lowered his eyes to look at his friend whose eyes were almost moist, shrugged, and said perfunctorily: "It's okay."
Before Yien came, he and Zhilong didn't talk much about this topic. They just drank one glass of wine after another in tacit understanding. It seemed that they didn't drink much, and he was fine, but Zhilong had already drunk himself.
After getting drunk, I feel inexplicably wronged. Li Zhuhe couldn't help but sigh. Zhilong, who was very talkative about small things, was actually very sensible about big things. Wasn't it that he didn't mention their breakup even when he was almost drunk?
He took another sip of Chinese liquor. After drinking the liquor, which was over 50% alcohol, his limbs began to heat up.
Because in front of so many friends, Kwon Ji-yong was very restrained in his "sadness", but when he saw Ye-eun ignoring him, his heart was suddenly filled with sadness again. He sat on the chair with his legs backwards, his chest resting on the back of the chair, his hands resting on them, and his cheek resting on his arms.
“Ye-eun…” He said in a small voice aggrieved, “Look at me.”
Everyone else couldn't help but curl the corners of their lips. Yokan held the cigarette between his index and middle fingers, gently shook off the ashes on the ashtray, and looked at the two people in front of him with eyes full of watching a show.
This member of 2NE1 who was least familiar with him seemed well behaved, but everyone in YG knew that she was the most arrogant. After all, even people like them who smoked and drank were well behaved in front of the president.
However, the other party seems to not care about the social status and hierarchy in the popular sense at all. He gets close to those he likes and stays away from those he doesn't like.
Being keenly aware that he was one of the disliked ones, Yokan was really curious about why.
Yien looked down at the person sitting on the chair with legs apart, in such an arrogant posture, but calling her name with a look of grievance on her face.
She sighed in her heart and squatted down in front of him, "What's wrong with you? Are you sad because of Zhuhe oppa?"
Quan Zhilong shook his head, his eyes full of confusion: "No, I'm fine."
I don’t know if Lee Joo Hyuk has talked about this with other friends, but Ye Eun carefully avoided the word “break up”.
Li Zhuhe on the side lowered his eyes and poured himself another glass of wine. When the strong liquor first took a sip, there was not much feeling. Only when it slid into the throat did a burning sensation like fire begin to surge from the throat.
His eyelashes moved slightly, looking at the two good friends in front of him who were still sweet and loving, his chin supported and his eyes looked a little dazed.
It's great that they have been together for so many years without feeling bored, but Noona and I have only been together for less than three years, how could we feel bored already...
His eyes began to lose their anxiety. In his mind, he saw the scene when he and Kim Min-hee just met. He saw the way she cheered for him regardless of the comments. He saw the way she, a movie queen, was busy in the kitchen making dessert for him who had just finished work...
Li Zhuhe looked at the two people in front of him. Although he didn't know why Zhilong felt aggrieved, Yien patiently held his hand and asked softly. Zhilong, who was about to cry, suddenly smiled because of Yien's arrival.
The sadness in my heart is infinitely magnified after the comparison. Li Zhuhe tilted his head and looked at the two of them, and in the blink of an eye he saw the scrutinizing look of Yokan on the side.
He raised his eyebrows, waved at Yokan, and asked what was wrong. Yokan smiled, shrugged and looked away.
Ye-eun had already noticed the other person's gaze, but she didn't care. She just shook Quan Zhilong's hand hanging on the back of the chair and said, "Do you want to go home with Ye-eun now?"
"Yeah." Quan Zhilong pursed his lips and turned to look at Li Zhuhe, "Zhuhe will come too."
"..." Li Zhuhe turned his head in confusion and was about to refuse, but he saw Yien looking up at him.
"Let's go together, Joo Hyuk oppa. There is a guest bedroom in the suite that Ji Long rented. Let's sleep there for a night, otherwise he will be angry again." Ye Eun sighed.
It wasn't surprising for others to see Ye-eun holding GD's hand and preparing to leave. After all, sometimes when they were having a party, GD would go back immediately if Ye-eun called. Although they often laughed at GD for being so well-behaved in front of Ye-eun, they actually envied this sweet relationship.
They raised their hands and waved casually, "Be careful."
Yien narrowed her eyes and nodded.
This time, Quan Zhilong was not so drunk that he couldn't walk straight like last time. Maybe he was just a little confused. After getting into the car smoothly with Yi Eun, he kept asking, "Where's Zhuhe? Is he in?"
Li Zhuhe, who was sitting in the passenger seat, turned his head helplessly and looked at Quan Zhilong: "Yes, get in."
Only then did Kwon Ji-yong feel relieved. He put one arm around Yi-eun's waist and buried his head in her neck. Because of the alcohol, his brain was confused and he had no ability to think. He rubbed Ye-eun's neck with his nose and whispered, "Joo-hyuk must be very sad. Let's take him home. He can cry secretly at home."
"..." No matter how low the voice was, the carriage was only so big. In the smoky party place, Lee Joo Hyuk could pretend nothing had happened. However, when he heard Kwon Ji Long's words, his eyes suddenly became moist. He lowered his head and raised his hand to press the corners of his eyes.
Ye-eun glanced at the person sitting in the passenger seat, lowered her head and held Kwon Ji-yong's hand. She had been worried when Joo-hyuk oppa and Kim Min-hee were together. After all, the relationship between a movie queen and a young model was almost the focus of public discussion at the time.
She couldn't help but think of another couple in the opposite position.
Qi Ge and Han Xing unni...seem to be trying hard to support this crumbling love.
She couldn't help but feel that she and Zhilong were lucky. Being in the same circle, there was a gap in their popularity, but it was not too big. Most importantly, the experience of growing up together allowed them to completely integrate into each other's lives.
Yien lowered her head and played with Kwon Ji-yong's hand. His fingers were a little rough compared to hers, but she felt safe holding them in her hand.
The other person just buried his head quietly in her neck. If it were normal times, this person, who was slightly tipsy, wouldn't care whether there was someone in front of him or not, and would have started kissing her a long time ago...Yeun couldn't help but glance at Kwon Ji-yong. He was actually just quietly closing his eyes and burying his head in her neck.
The car was silent for a while, until Ye-eun took Quan Zhilong's hand and entered the community elevator, he began to ask again: "Where is Zhuhe? Did he catch up?"
"I'm catching up." Li Zhuhe sighed, looked at Yien, and shook his head helplessly.
He is an introvert, so how did he become good friends with someone who is so extroverted?
Sitting at the dining table, looking at Kwon Ji-yong who filled his glass with wine again, in an environment where only three people were around, Lee Joo-hyuk supported his chin and suddenly began to speak.
"She broke up with me suddenly a few days ago." Li Zhuhe turned the wine glass and lowered his eyes. "In fact, I felt that she didn't love me as much as before, but we still dated as usual, and I didn't think she would break up with me suddenly."
His tone was calm, but Quan Zhilong pursed his lips again, his eyes full of sadness, "Why ..."
Ye-eun has only met Kim Min-hee twice, once at their friend's wedding and the other time at a private gathering of several of their friends, when Lee Joo-hyuk also introduced Kim Min-hee to everyone.
However, Quan Zhilong saw it more often, and every time they met, they were very sweet. He really couldn't understand why they suddenly broke up.
"Nuna said there was no special reason, she just suddenly stopped loving me." Li Zhuhe stared at the wine in front of him. The other party was a person who was looking for excitement. When she first saw his appearance, she might have thought that he was the same kind as her. He was indeed aroused when he first got along with her.
But slowly, he got used to his peaceful life again, treating everyone gently and politely. Maybe it was at this time that the other party discovered that he was so...
It's boring.
He defined his character.
If there is a conflict, he can still try hard to resolve it, but if the other party says "I don't love you anymore", he can only let go.
Lee Joo Hyuk supported his chin and blinked. In fact, he had been in love before Kim Min Hee, but only this breakup with Kim Min Hee made him feel the pain of being torn apart.
It was like my soul was torn into two halves. One half told myself that it was okay, it was just a breakup, and I had to go on with work and life.
The other half was crying and shouting as he looked at his torn wound. He tried to pull the two halves of his soul closer with trembling hands, but found in despair that he could not put them back together.
He was in this state for several days in a row. Today, he finally couldn't help but invite everyone out. However, he only told Zhilong that he had broken up when he called him.
Seeing his "dead heart" look, Quan Zhilong felt even sadder. He crossed his arms and his eyes turned red. "Okay, let's drink. If we break up, we'll break up. We'll be there for you."
Li Zhuhe leaned back in his chair, looked at the two people in front of him, and once again used alcohol to suppress his sadness. "Well, don't worry, I will get over it."
Yien glanced at the two men in front of her. The one who broke up had a calm expression, but the one who was fine had red eyes.
Really…
She sighed and poured herself a glass of sake, sipping it in small sips. She watched the two of them drinking one sip at a time. She always felt that it was strange that Zhilong was so quiet...
And I don’t know how long I had been drinking before. If I continue drinking like this now, will it harm my body?
Thinking of all the things that were wrong before, she tentatively asked, "How about I make you a small dish to cushion the pain?"
The two of them stopped moving at the same time. Even Kwon Ji-yong, whose mind was already beginning to become confused, couldn't help but raise his hand and gently pat Yi-eun's face. There was a "pa" sound so crisp that even Lee Joo-hyuk opened his eyes wide in horror.
Zhilong, do you...want to die?
"Ye'en, are you drunk? Do you want to poison me and Joo-hyuk? It's okay to poison Joo-hyuk, but you can't poison me." He pinched Ye'en's cheek without noticing that Ye'en had begun to narrow her eyes.
Li Zhuhe on the side couldn't help but close his eyes. He could still speak these words so clearly even when drunk. He is really my good friend.
He actually raised his hand and slapped himself in the face? And he spoke clearly. Thinking of how the other party had just walked into the car smoothly, Yien suddenly sneered, and understood what the other party was doing. She raised her hand and held Quan Zhilong's hand, and directly grabbed this "drunk" man and walked towards the room.
Quan Zhilong was still immersed in his role, and asked innocently: "Ye Eun, what are you doing? I still need to comfort Zhu He, he must be very sad."
It is certain that he will be sad, and you will also start to be sad.
If you want Joo Hyuk oppa to cry alone in the room, just say so. Why do you have to find an opportunity to hit yourself on purpose first?
Why not send yourself a message before starting your plan! ? Does it have to be carried out through telepathy? If I hadn't noticed, you would have really drunk enough to get a perforated stomach, right?
Yi Eun pushed Quan Zhilong into the master bedroom. Looking at the puzzled Quan Zhilong, she curled her lips and said, "Just wait for me for a while."
"...Okay." Kwon Ji-yong nodded obediently, and after watching Yi-eun take something out of her closet and go out, he went straight to the bed. He was the only one left, and he continued to pretend to smile foolishly. Yi-eun must have wanted to kiss him, so she pulled him over.
For a moment, his heart was filled with anticipation, and his two feet swayed on the bed. He immediately forgot about Li Zhuhe who was still sad outside.
The sadness of breaking up will pass. Quan Zhilong thought that he must be tired after accompanying her all night.
After Ye-eun hid Kwon Ji-ryong in his room, she returned to the living room and saw Lee Joo-hyuk still drinking. She sat down in front of him and comforted him in a low voice: "Joo-hyuk oppa, stop drinking and have a good sleep. You will feel better tomorrow."
Li Zhuhe knew that she was concerned about his health. He put down his wine glass and tried to pull the corner of his mouth, "Okay."
Ye-eun took him to the guest bedroom. The room was clean and tidy, where only his aunt would occasionally stay. She pushed the sliding door of the closet and pointed inside: "This is the bathroom. I just got some disposable toiletries. Oppa, you can wear Zhilong's pajamas. I also got you a set."
Lee Joo Hyuk looked at the sink, took the clothes from Ye Eun, nodded and said thank you.
Ye Eun nodded and turned to leave. When she closed the door, she looked at Lee Joo Hyuk who was standing quietly in the room and suddenly smiled: "Oppa, if we can't cry here, let's cry secretly in the bathroom. It's well soundproofed."
She pretended to be relaxed: "You will feel much better if you cry. Look at that idiot. He can live well despite all the troubles he has encountered. It's all because he loves crying. He doesn't have to maintain the attitude of a nobleman all the time. It would be better if he could cry and laugh like ordinary children like us."
Li Zhuhe was stunned for a moment, nodded, and when he lowered his head, his lips curled up, but his eyes couldn't help but become moist.
She even deliberately used Zhilong to coax him. It was totally unnecessary.
However, when the door was closed and only one person was left in the room, Li Zhuhe leaned on the bed, thinking of a good friend who had accompanied him drinking all night and a sister who prepared all the supplies for him. He suddenly covered his eyes in the dark and let the hot tears slide from the corners of his eyes.
There is no way I can stay in that house full of memories, but I can't cry at a party with friends, nor can I cry in a living room with only three people. Now, in a strange, dim and soundproof environment where I am alone, it's okay to cry occasionally.
On the other side, Yi-eun closed the door and looked at Quan Zhilong who was full of expectation. She leaned against the wall with her arms folded across her chest and tilted her head: "Quan Zhilong, you are not pretending to be drunk and hitting me on purpose, are you?"
Quan Zhilong looked at her blankly: "I'm just drunk."
This was the first time she saw a drunk person say that he was drunk. Ye Eun couldn't help but laugh, and looked at Quan Zhilong with a smile on her face, "Yeah, you are drunk."
She looked at Quan Zhilong and raised her eyebrows, "Are you drunk? Will you forget everything I do the next day like last time?"
Quan Zhilong couldn't help but sit up a little straighter, nodding like a chicken pecking at rice, "Yeah, yeah, I'll forget it, come quickly."
He looked at Ye-eun obediently with anticipation on his face.
Yien couldn't help but smile, turned around and went to the closet to pick and choose, and finally took out a thin rope belt. She held it carefully in her hand and walked towards Kwon Ji-yong.
