Chapter 246: Can I watch the rehearsal by sending flowers?
A few days ago, someone was showing off on the show that he pretended to lose his passport and stayed with sick Ye-eun. However, two days later, Ye-eun received a video call from Kwon Ji-yong, who was acting coquettishly and saying that he was feeling very uncomfortable due to a cold.
"Do you have any medicine?" Ye-eun glanced at Kwon Ji-yong in the video. He was leaning on the bed with his head slightly tilted. Because his hand holding the phone was placed on his chest, the angular lower half of his face appeared clearly on the phone. The upper half of his face was only revealed when he moved occasionally.
Quan Zhilong pulled the quilt towards himself with his other hand, and nodded when he heard her words, "Yes, I'll drink it later."
The call was hung up after just a few minutes. Quan Zhilong leaned back on the bed and took the bar of cold medicine handed to him by Lao Hu.
The seal of the cold medicine had been torn off. Quan Zhilong stuffed it into his mouth and squeezed it gently along the opening. He was instantly frowned by the bitter, disgusting and sticky taste of the cold medicine.
However, he still had to go to the venue for the final rehearsal in the afternoon, so he endured the nausea and drank all the cold medicine.
The nausea he felt while swallowing the medicine after drinking it in one gulp was not there yet. Quan Zhilong suppressed the nausea and looked at the package in his hand. The ingredients of the cold medicine written in Japanese were obviously normal, but he didn't know how it could make it taste so disgusting.
He frowned and didn't want to talk anymore. After the nausea passed, the cold medicine took effect quickly. Quan Zhilong slept for two hours in a daze. He was still dizzy when he was woken up by Tiger. "Brother, where are we now?"
"Japan." Tiger silently handed over the warm water he had prepared long ago, "Now let's eat and go to rehearsal."
Quan Zhilong responded softly, and he was obviously still in a low mood due to his illness. He sat on the bed holding a cup of water and was in a daze for a while, and suddenly muttered to himself: "Ye Eun should eat."
Ye-eun was indeed eating, but it was airplane food.
The first thing she did after receiving Quan Zhilong's call was to ask Xiaopang Ge to book the nearest flight. The agent of the two people has long been accustomed to the clingy nature of this couple who want to meet each other whenever they have the chance, so he didn't say much and just silently sent her the itinerary.
It was already two o'clock in the afternoon when the plane landed in Osaka. Ye-eun checked the time and headed straight to the Dome.
Because this is not Kwon Ji-yong's first concert in Japan as part of his world tour, there will not be a full rehearsal one day in advance like the first concert. However, given Kwon Ji-yong's professionalism, he would still go for rehearsal half a day in advance as usual even if he had a cold.
After getting off the bus, there were still five hours before the concert started, but there were already fans waiting at the entrance of the venue near the dome with cheering sticks. There were also fans standing in groups of three or four behind the security line at the artist's entrance and exit, taking photos and checking in.
Wearing a hat and mask, holding flowers, Ye-eun calmly walked among the chattering and excited fans, until she reached the end of the aisle, the voices of the fans in front suddenly became louder.
She stood behind a few fans and, like everyone else, took out her phone, turned on the recording interface and aimed it at Quan Zhilong who was walking towards them with his staff.
Although he was sick, Quan Zhilong's walking posture was still as sharp as ever. The fans around him screamed softly, and he walked forward with an expressionless face and slightly lowered his head. It seemed that his neck was uncomfortable. Quan Zhilong raised his hand and pinched the back of his neck.
Putting his hand on the back of his neck, he shrugged and turned his head slightly. The simple action caused another scream.
Behind him, Brother Tiger was holding a cup and following Quan Zhilong seriously and solemnly. Compared with the swag-filled Kwon Ji-Yong in front, his walking posture makes him look like a reliable adult. Looking at Kwon Ji-Yong in the camera, Ye-Eun couldn't help but curl the corners of her lips.
Kwon Ji-yong casually glanced at the fans around him. All of them were pointing their phones at him. He calmly looked away. However, when his eyes signed to the other side, a "fan" who was holding a bunch of daisies in one hand and pointing his phone at himself with the other hand came into his sight.
Even though the phone blocked most of her face, just that familiar hand made him sure that she was a fan.
Quan Zhilong, who had been expressionless all the time, couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth and walked calmly in that direction.
Ye Eun couldn't help laughing as she watched Kwon Ji-yong getting closer and closer to her. Sure enough, when he was about to pass by her, Kwon Ji-yong suddenly stopped and turned his head to look at her again amid the fans' whispers.
The moment the two of them looked at each other through the phone, Quan Zhilong couldn't help but curl his lips. He covered her camera with one hand and reached for the flowers in her arms with the other hand.
The bouquet was handed over instantly. Quan Zhilong held the flowers in one hand and said with a smile: "To thank you for the flowers, let's go to the rehearsal together."
The screen went black because he was deliberately blocking the camera, and Tiger was already buckled inside. Ye-eun put away her phone and laughed. After approaching him, she raised her hand and shook Kwon Ji-yong's hand, saying with a smile, "Can I watch the rehearsal if I buy flowers?"
"Yes, actually you don't have to buy flowers." Kwon Ji-yong waved her hand with his eyes curved, and led her to the backstage amid the exclamations of fans behind him.
The staff are already in place, waiting for Quan Zhilong to be ready for the afternoon rehearsal. Quan Zhilong sat backwards in his chair with his arms around the back. The daisies had been carefully placed in a vase on the table. He watched Yi-eun take the medicine from Tiger Brother, frowned and muttered softly: "This tastes terrible."
Yien glanced at him, lowered her head and tore the packaging bag. When she handed it to him, she saw his frowning brows, gently touched his face and said soothingly, "It's better to take medicine than to have an IV, right?"
Quan Zhilong pursed his lips, and after taking the medicine from her hand, he seemed to have seen something that he hated, and just stared at the medicine.
Brother Tiger, who had seen him frowning in the morning but still drank the medicine decisively, blinked silently.
Yi-eun bent down in front of Quan Zhilong, took the medicine back from his hand with a smile, lowered her head and sniffed the opening. The smell made her feel uncomfortable. She couldn't help but frowned, "Ah... It seems really hard to drink."
"Hmm..." Quan Zhilong pursed his lips and leaned on the back of his hand to look at her, "This brand tastes so disgusting."
Quan Zhilong is not picky about food but hates taking medicine. Even Ye En picked out the best-tasting hangover soup from various brands. Now when she smelled the medicine, Ye En couldn't help but frowned, "But this is the only one we have now. Drink it first. I'll ask my assistant to bring over some of the cold medicine we used to take."
"Okay..." Kwon Ji-yong pouted in grievance, took the medicine from Yi-en's hand again, took a sip, and put it down with a frown.
After Yien coaxed him for a long time with concern, he took the medicine again and poured it in with his eyes closed.
The way he drank the medicine looked as if it would take his life, which was completely different from his decisive appearance in the morning.
Brother Tiger silently handed the cup of water in his hand to Yien. Sure enough, Quan Zhilong frowned even when drinking the water and looked at Yien after taking a sip.
Yi En was so distressed that she raised her hand to tidy up his hair and said softly, "I'll accompany you to the rehearsal now, and then ask the staff to buy some snacks you like, okay?"
"Well..." Quan Zhilong still seemed to be in a bad mood, with his eyes downcast and a face full of grievance, "So you're not going home tonight, right?"
She held Quan Zhilong's hand and looked at him worriedly: "Well, I'll leave tomorrow afternoon."
Only then did Quan Zhilong slightly curl his lips, hold her hand in his backhand and go to rehearsal together.
Due to physical reasons and because it was not his first show, Kwon Ji-yong did not sing every song in full. He just picked up the microphone from time to time and sang a few lines while moving around.
Ye-eun frowned when she heard his obviously uncomfortable voice. She lowered her head and sent a message to her assistant in Korea, asking her to bring a few packets of cold medicine to Japan. She couldn't help but mutter, "When he goes abroad to work in the future, he should bring a few packets of the cold medicine he is used to taking separately from the other staff members. It shouldn't be a problem if each person brings a few packets."
Thinking of Quan Zhilong's expression after he just drank, she couldn't help but frowned and said distressedly: "He drank once in the morning, right? You've worked hard to coax him, brother. My assistant will bring the medicine over in the evening. When I get back, I'll trouble you to take care of him."
"..." Brother Tiger thought that he didn't behave like this in the morning, he would only behave like this in front of you, but he still nodded.
He was too lazy to talk to the person who asked her assistant to buy medicine across borders just to make her boyfriend happier.
This is how they get along with each other!
Halfway through the rehearsal on stage, Ye-eun crossed her arms and looked up at Kwon Ji-yong, who was still without any makeup on on the stage. Although he hadn't put on makeup yet, his momentum when singing rap was not diminished at all. Even when he was on the mobile stage, Kwon Ji-yong, who was so excited because of rehearsal for a while, couldn't help but run a few steps on the small mobile stage.
Seeing him stagger slightly due to excitement, Yien couldn't help but frown again, but when she saw him meet her eyes, she smiled guiltily and shook her head with her eyes curved.
Even when he was sick, he seemed to recover instantly once he was on stage.
After the rehearsal was over, Kwon Ji-yong handed the microphone to his assistant. Seeing Ye-eun's serious expression, he immediately raised his hand in surrender: "Just now, I accidentally stepped on empty air when the stage was not stable. It's okay."
He turned his ankles in front of Yi'en, squinted his eyes and looked at her coquettishly: "Hey, baby, don't be angry, I'm so tired now..."
Being held in his arms like a koala with its hands tightly wrapped around a board and eyes closed, Ye-eun couldn't pretend any longer. She burst out laughing and poked his waist with her hand, "Yeah, but you still have to be careful at night. You don't have much strength when you're sick..."
What's more, he had to endure a concert of more than two hours by himself. Although he said that he accidentally stepped on empty air, Ye Eun could clearly see that he staggered because he suddenly lost his strength and couldn't stand steadily.
It’s just that this person has always been very competitive on stage and he would never be perfunctory on stage just because he’s sick. Ye-eun sighed, “Once we get through these two months, the rest of the tour won’t be that tight.”
As they are all singers, Ye-eun naturally knows how tiring it is to give a concert. What's more, he has to do this one after another, nearly ten times a month, which is unbearable.
Quan Zhilong leaned on her shoulder and responded softly, with his eyes squinted, his action showing a different force from his tone. He hugged Yien tightly and said coquettishly: "My girlfriend still cares about me. Oh, if I don't want to work in the future, Yien, please support me."
“Okay.” Ye Eun responded naturally, looking at him with a smile, “If you are willing to leave the stage.”
Quan Zhilong opened his eyes and looked at her, and laughed, "If it's the intensity of the work in the future, I really won't be willing to give it up."
I debuted because I love the stage. Even though I have wanted to take a good rest for a while due to the busy work schedule in the past two years, I couldn't help laughing when I thought about singing and holding concerts freely and happily in the future. "I promised to meet my fans in 20 years."
However, twenty years is still too far away, and life now is more important.
When Quan Zhilong's concert was about to start, Yi Eun took the medicine handed over by her assistant and said thank you with a smile. The assistant nodded with a frown. For such a sudden schedule, Yi Eun not only received overtime pay but also arranged vacation compensation. Naturally, she was more than happy to take it. "Then the medicine has been delivered. I'm going to play now?"
Ye-eun nodded with her eyes curved, and waved to her assistant, Unnie.
Quan Zhilong had already changed into his stage costume. Yien put the medicine in Tiger's hand and sat beside him, admonishing him, "If you feel tired, just..."
"Don't keep running on the stage, don't jump on the moving stage, don't run around when the moving stage is not stable..." Quan Zhilong took over her words, squinting his eyes and repeated what she had said over and over again that afternoon.
Not only did he not feel annoyed, but he felt better every time he heard it. However, the staff members could not help but look at each other and shake their heads helplessly.
GD has given so many concerts and has been sick before, but it is only Ye Eun who would give him so many warnings just because he feels a little bit uncomfortable.
Ye-eun raised her hand to take the spray on the table, and pointed it at Kwon Ji-yong's ankle, which was not injured at all, with a serious look on her face, "Spray it again."
"..." Quan Zhilong laughed, took the medicine from her hand and put it directly on the table, hugged her and kissed her, looking at her expression, the more he thought about it, the funnier it became, "Don't worry, I'll sit down directly when we get on the mobile stage, okay?"
