Chapter 221 This is the only delicacy I can offer!
The day when "Infinite Trading Company" was broadcast was mid-October, and 2NE1 also ended all New Evolution concerts in Japan.
However, she did not return to Seoul from Saitama, but went directly to Jakarta, Indonesia with her assistant.
Although both are world tours, it is 2NE1's first time after all. YG only tentatively arranged 11 concerts for them in 7 countries and regions within 5 months, while Bigbang has 48 concerts from March this year to January 2013.
Kwon Ji-yong has been on a world tour and making a solo comeback, and he also had to hold several meetings in between because of the official announcement. Ye-eun heard from his new agent Lee Tae-hee that he sometimes doesn't have time to eat when he's busy, so after the Japan tour, he didn't even go home to rest but rushed to Indonesia.
It was 10am when they arrived in Indonesia. Kwon Ji-yong's new manager was a young man of the same age as them. He was cheerful and quickly became friends with Kwon Ji-yong. When he saw Ye-eun, he smiled and joked, "Ji-yong hasn't gotten up yet. It's a good time for you to wake him up. He should go to rehearsal in two hours."
Kwon Ji-yong usually plays and jokes with the staff, and everyone likes to run to him, but everyone avoids the task of waking him up.
Even though he wouldn't curse at the staff, they were still terrified when he sat on the bed and looked at them expressionlessly.
Yi-eun also knew about his bad temper when waking up, and couldn't help but smile while making cocoa milk for him in the living room of the suite. After all, even Tiger Brother had applied for two days of work and one day of rest in this task, which showed that Kwon Ji-yong's bad temper when waking up was getting worse and worse.
The light brown cocoa milk slowly began to emit a fragrant aroma. Yeen held the handle of the cup and gently pushed open the door of the room with her other hand.
The curtains in the room were drawn tightly, not letting in any light. Only the head of the person on the bed was visible, and he looked very well-behaved as he slept. Yien bent down and placed the cup on the small coffee table beside the windowsill, then raised her hand to pull the curtains. The bright sunlight outside the window instantly shone through the glass onto the bed.
Quan Zhilong felt the dazzling light, and without even opening his eyes, he frowned and looked a little unhappy. He simply turned over, grasped the quilt over his head, and tried to block out all the light.
Yien walked to the bed, bent down and looked at the thing. He wrapped himself up so tightly that not even a single breath of wind could get in. However, a person who was sleeping didn't have to use much strength, so Yien pulled the quilt covering his head and easily exposed his head.
The man under the quilt frowned even more tightly and turned over again, but the light facing the windowsill was too bright, so he turned back quickly.
Yien was amused by his actions and put her hands on his eyelids, but before she used any force, the unhappy expression on Quan Zhilong's face suddenly changed.
She withdrew her hand, and sure enough, Kwon Ji-yong suddenly opened his eyes as if he was awakened, sat up straight, and turned to look at Yi-eun with confusion and a little surprise.
Ye-eun bent over, smiled and bumped her head against his, "Kwon Ji-yong, get up and go to school!"
"..." Quan Zhilong's mind was not clear yet, but he still curled up the corners of his mouth when he heard her voice.
Since Ye-en's first day in middle school, pulling her eyelids apart has been her unique way of waking herself up.
Because he sat up suddenly, he was still a little dizzy. He rubbed his still confused head and said, "Then I'll go heat up breakfast for you?"
"Puchi." Yeen laughed and took the cocoa milk and stuffed it into his hand, "Are you really still not awake?"
Quan Zhilong shook his head. The average temperature in Indonesia in October was still over 20 degrees. He was wearing thin pajamas and rolled up his sleeves to reveal the heart tattoo on his arm.
He sipped cocoa milk while staring at Yien. Yien was not a good cook, but she had gotten better and better at making milk over the years.
After drinking the milk, Quan Zhilong finally sobered up a little. He hugged Yien who was sitting on the bed and put his chin on her shoulder. "I have a rehearsal this afternoon. I will go with Tae Hee and the others first. Can you go later?"
Ye-eun laughed again and patted him on the back, "Yeah, we're in the public eye now, do we still have to go our separate ways?"
"..." Quan Zhilong was stunned for a moment, then suddenly laughed, and tilted his head to look at her, "Yes, we have officially announced it..."
There was a hint of trance in his eyes.
Although there was a lot of buzz on the day of the official announcement, in fact, the two of them started working immediately after the announcement. One flew to Japan to hold a concert, and the other continued to promote in Korea and then flew to Thailand for a tour.
The trending searches in several Asian countries for a few days did not have much reality for them.
Quan Zhilong hugged her for a moment, and suddenly laughed in the crook of her neck, "Then let's go together. Don't be afraid of being photographed."
The warm breath hit Ye-eun's neck, instantly causing tiny goose bumps to appear on her skin, and she nodded with her eyes curled.
Quan Zhilong began to have more beautiful imaginations in his mind, "Well, after this period of time is over, we can still go on dates holding hands like ordinary people, and eat delicious food together. Oh, I also want to go to the amusement park with you. We went there so many times when we were young, but we never went there again after my debut. And there is more..."
He lay on top of her and kept muttering. Yien nodded in agreement and occasionally proposed things they wanted to do together. "Let's take our tiger Julie to the Han River. They always play in the neighborhood. Well, I also want to go to concerts and movies with you..."
The two chatted for a while, and suddenly stopped at the same time. Quan Zhilong hugged her tightly, and sighed with his eyes curved: "It's good to be open. It seems that I am happy without having to be secretive like everyone else."
"Yeah," Ye Eun rubbed his head sideways, her eyes full of smiles, "But now, our big star GD, please hurry up and wash up, let's go have a meal together and then go to rehearsal."
Quan Zhilong let her go and muttered while brushing his teeth: "What to eat? I haven't eaten any special food in the two days since I came here."
He is not picky about food, but he likes to try various things. However, there are members in the group like Taeyang, who fasted and only drank water the day before the concert to stay in shape, and Kim Do Hyun, who is picky about food and only eats the food he is used to for fear of problems.
As the leader of the group, he is the one who accommodates the members, and only Ye-eun accommodates him unconditionally.
Before arriving, Ye En had already started searching for guides in the car and found a restaurant that was both clean and delicious and ordered delivery. She leaned against the wall and turned her head to meet Quan Zhilong's gaze in the mirror. "I've already ordered it. When the time comes, I'll directly deliver it to the backstage with the staff."
When they arrived at the backstage of the Hawkeye International Arena in Jakarta, the staff had just arrived one after another. They were a little shocked when they received today's working meals. Isn't this too much?
Bigbang has always been generous and never stingy with their staff, but the team members responsible for ordering food are also afraid of waste, so they always calculate the number of people when ordering work meals. This time, the meal was like having a support car in China, with rich dishes that can be freely matched.
It wasn't until the news of Ye-eun's arrival spread internally that the staff suddenly understood. As expected, it was said that when she was a child, she directly confronted the president just to eat meat. It seems that she is an artist who attaches great importance to eating.
Ye-eun was in Bigbang's lounge at the time. In addition to the five members, there were also several close staff members in the lounge. She picked up a piece of rice from the Nasi Padang with chopsticks, put it into the spoon together with the beef and fish curry on the side, and deliberately shook it in front of Taeyang who was drinking water nearby.
The fragrance instantly became stronger. Taiyang looked at Yien with complicated eyes, then turned to Quan Zhilong and complained: "Zhilong, she deliberately seduced me again!"
Quan Zhilong glanced at Yi Eun, lowered his head and scooped a spoonful of the soup from the meatball noodles and held it in front of the sun, his eyes sincere: "Yong Pei, do you want to drink it? It smells delicious."
It was indeed fragrant. The aroma of the broth that had been simmered for several hours was even stronger than the Western Sumatra specialty food that Ye-en had in her hand. Sun, who had not eaten anything for 24 hours before the concert, was pissed off by the two of them. He swallowed his saliva, unscrewed the cap of the mineral water bottle and took two gulps, "I'm going to the lounge next door."
The lounge next door only has various fruits, which is better than this place full of the aroma of various foods.
Jin Duxuan also stared at these things closely, watching the people who were eating tentatively pick up a small piece of Padang beef with chopsticks. He was always cautious about eating due to his poor stomach, and the captain and members were usually considerate of the two people's special habits, and rarely would they cover the entire coffee table with delicious food when they went abroad to perform together.
However, things were different when Ye-eun arrived. She didn't bother to care about other people.
It's enough for her boyfriend and herself to eat and drink well, just like when they were children, she carried a bag to deliver "takeout" to Quan Zhilong who lived in the dormitory. Now that she has grown up and is not busy, but Quan Zhilong is so busy that he has no time to rest, she is still responsible for "delivering meals" as she did when she was a child.
She bit her chopsticks and glanced at Jin Duxuan, deliberately scaring him: "This is very spicy, eat less, or you will have a stomachache later."
Quan Zhilong bit the beef that was only slightly spicy and nodded, his eyes serious: "Try the barbecue, it's not spicy."
Dasheng paused for a moment as he was holding the chopsticks. That kebab was probably the worst of the bunch... He thought it wasn't tasty either. For a kid like Du Xuan who was very picky about food, it was simply inedible.
Jin Duxuan looked at the two of them hesitantly, stretched out his chopsticks towards the barbecue, and the moment he took a bite he immediately gave a fake smile.
It’s not spicy, but it’s really fishy.
"This dish couldn't be made by you, Ye'en..." Jin Duxuan spat out the meat in his mouth and put down his chopsticks speechlessly. It turned out that it would be better to eat some fruits to fill his stomach.
Ye-eun glanced at him and turned to her boyfriend with a wronged look on her face: "He said my cooking is terrible, but my cocoa milk is so good!"
"Yes." Quan Zhilong nodded, and patted Yien's hand comfortingly, with a serious expression on his face, "The cocoa milk made by our Yien is the best."
“?” Everyone at the scene looked at Quan Zhilong with an expression of “What bullshit are you talking about?”
Isn’t it just soaking milk! ? You sounded as proud as if your girlfriend was a five-star chef.
Jin Duxuan couldn't stand it anymore, so he turned to Cui Shunhao who was eating and said, "Brother, can you tell the difference between the foamed milk?"
“…No.” Choi Sun-ho is Bigbang’s international manager, responsible for all the team’s international affairs. He accompanies the group to almost every concert abroad.
Because he gets along well with Kwon Ji-yong and is often in various group photos, some fans even think that he is Kwon Ji-yong's personal agent.
Cui Shunhao glanced at Quan Zhilong and was also a little confused: "Milk...isn't it all the same?"
Yi En's eyes were filled with disbelief, and she said unconvincedly: "Are you questioning my cooking skills? This is the only delicacy I can show off! Don't insult my cocoa milk!"
Just making a cup of milk can be considered a culinary skill! ?
Everyone except Quan Zhilong was speechless. Jin Duxuan sneered and crossed his arms across his chest, "Milk is not worthy of being called a delicacy. Just listen to Brother Zhilong's coaxing."
Quan Zhilong frowned and shook the chopsticks, "Who said I was coaxing her? She really made milk very well!"
Dong Yongbae, who had waited for 20 minutes in the next room before returning, looked at the "milk soaking competition" that had started inexplicably, and was full of confusion, "Are there any normal people in our team..."
Li Taixi was also a little confused: "...Ah, it seems that there is no one else except you since Ye Eun came."
TOP has always had an abnormal way of thinking. He started to put milk powder into the cup with great interest. In order to prove that "milk is the same no matter who makes it, there is no difference", Kim Do Hyun made water with a serious expression.
Ye-eun even gambled on the dignity of her "only delicacy she could offer", with a serious expression as if she had discovered that someone was trying to steal her money.
Dasheng turned around and looked at the few people, inexplicably feeling a tremendous amount of pressure.
Make cocoa milk! This competition is so important!
The only referee, Quan Zhilong, was blindfolded and had headphones on his ears. He was lying on the sofa and nodding casually to the music in the headphones. He seemed very confident that he could pick out the cup of milk that Yien made.
Dong Young-bae looked at the scene in front of him and couldn't help but turn his head to look at the international agent Choi Sun-ho who was filming. Well, there was also a fool here who was called "Stupid Hao" by fans.
The most childish people in all of Korea are gathered in this lounge!
Dong Yongbae drank another sip of water with a desperate look on his face, hoping that they would be able to return to normal during the afternoon rehearsal.
