Chapter 39 You Three and I One
Since going to the practice room to learn Freestyle rapping, Kwon Ji-yong seems to have opened the door to a new world.
Especially after he went to several underground competitions with his brothers in the label, he would go to watch the battles from time to time without my mom and dad’s knowledge.
Even the brothers in the label recommended him to try out for next month's competition.
He chattered a lot, and Ye-eun was confused: "So you want me to accompany you to the underground competition?"
Quan Zhilong shook his head, "We need to buy equipment first."
Just like you have to change your equipment before entering a battle in a game, you also have to dress like a rapper when you go to a competition.
The reason for calling Ye-eun was simple, "My mom has been watching me very closely lately, alas."
Ever since my mom caught him sneaking to watch a game, she has been sounding the first level alarm. Even if we support the child's own choice, the lyrics sung by underground rappers today are not suitable for twelve-year-old children.
"But Ye-en is different. Mommy is relieved about you. Just tell Mommy that you want to go out with me." He raised his hand to swear, "I'll buy you something delicious after that!"
In the end, Yi-eun, who was tempted by snacks and dolls, emptied the golden pig's stomach on the pretext of wanting to go to the amusement park, and was taken to the clothing market by Kwon Ji-ryong.
Entering the 21st century, influenced by idol groups, Koreans' dressing style has become more fashionable and bold, and rich elements and bright colors have become their preference.
Ye-eun put a green floral shirt in front of Quan Zhilong and chuckled, "Do I have to wear something bright to scare the other party when I participate in the competition?"
Quan Zhilong was helpless when he saw this ugly shirt. He took it and put it aside. He glanced at Yi Eun who was deliberately picking out various ugly clothes, "Hey, I don't want these!"
Grabbing the back of Ye-eun's collar, Kwon Ji-yong took down several pieces of clothing that he liked. A simple white T-shirt with a riveted vest, paired with loose gray overalls and gray and white Dexter shoes, a vivid...
"Wow, no wonder your aunt said you're becoming more and more like a gangster." After being hooked by Kwon Ji-yong's neck, Ye-eun was stabbed by the rivets on his body. She couldn't stop complaining, "Are you planning to use this clothes to kill your opponent if you can't win the game?"
Quan Zhilong had a cheerful look on his face. His upper body, which was covered with rivets, moved a little further away from Yien, but his arms held her tighter. "Then you better be careful. If you keep talking nonsense, you won't see the sun tomorrow."
The two of them were quarreling but it did not stop them from shopping. After buying the clothes, Kwon Ji-yong took Ye-eun to a store to buy various small accessories.
He put a beige knitted headband on Yien's head, stroked her chin and looked at her for two seconds before shaking his head, "Oh my god, Yien, um..."
How come any headband looks good?
He stammered and sighed, and looked very ugly. Yi En couldn't see her own forehead, but she couldn't help but glare at him when she saw him like this. She pulled Quan Zhilong down and picked up a baseball cap and put it on his forehead. "Hurry up, I have Chinese class tonight."
Quan Zhilong, who was pushed to pay the bill, turned his head back and said, "Wait, wait, all the money is on you."
The boss cheerfully gave them the change, "Does your sister manage the money?"
Yien took the change, smiled and thanked the boss, then put the money into her small backpack, "Here."
"Alas." Quan Zhilong sighed. Since his ignorant money-saving plan when he was young, he has lost his financial power. But it was also because he handed over most of the money he earned every time that he didn't have to worry about money at times like this.
After buying clothes, Kwon Ji-yong carried the bag in one hand and held Ye-eun's hand with the other, but stopped when passing by a small and deserted shop.
Ye-en looked up and saw that the sign on the store had a mess of words like "ear jewelry", "safety piercing", "hand piercing", "gun piercing", etc.
She tugged at Quan Zhilong, her eyes flickering, "If our aunt finds out about this fight, won't she know we're lying?"
Too. Quan Zhilong sighed, but kept looking back as he walked.
"..." Yien looked up at Kwon Ji-yong and said, "Okay, if you want to get the equipment, let's get all of it at once!"
Ear piercing is not a difficult task. In the past, elders could even pierce a hole for a child with a needle. Only with the development of the times and the improvement of people's hygiene requirements, ear piercing shops have gradually increased.
As more customers choose to come to our store to get their ears pierced, the prices naturally go up. Ye-en felt the money in her bag and compared it with the price list in the store. It was just enough to buy him a few more pairs of earrings in one go.
However, Quan Zhilong pulled Yien and said seriously, "Yeen, are we still good friends who are loyal to each other? Is the mirror in our house just for decoration?"
Yi Eun looked at Kwon Ji-yong coldly.
He continued, "If I'm the only one who beats you, and Ye-eun doesn't, you'll be at a loss! Look, I spent all the money for this one beating, I'm so sorry for you."
Yien remained silent, looking at his guilty eyes and thinking, Zhilong, isn't it because you are afraid of pain and want to find someone else to try it first? And if my aunt finds out, I’ll be dragged into this mess again! ?
"You can do it yourself!" She hung the small bag with money around Quan Zhilong's neck and tried to leave with her sneakers clacking away. Unexpectedly, Quan Zhilong grabbed her and said four words that Ye Eun couldn't refuse, "Since you're here!"
Even the boss, seeing the two struggling children, was afraid that the business would be lost, so he raised the stakes: "Buy one, get one free!"
If you don't want the gift, you'll lose out. Even though she's already here, Ye-eun suddenly stops and turns to look at the store manager, aunt. She blinks her big eyes and asks sincerely, "Aunt, is it really buy one get one free?"
Two minutes later, Quan Zhilong, whose two earlobes had been pierced by silver earrings, sobbed and coaxed Yien with red eyes: "It doesn't hurt, it really doesn't hurt at all."
Yien was pressed on the seat by him and couldn't move. She raised her eyelids and saw his equally red earlobes, "..."
Have you asked about your two injured ears?
She squeezed Quan Zhilong's hand hard. When she saw the shop owner put on another set of sterile gloves and disinfected the hemostatic forceps again, she unconsciously exerted force. Her palm and Quan Zhilong's knuckles began to turn red. She also sobbed, "Quan Zhilong, I want two dolls."
A doll was not enough to comfort her wounded heart, one doll for each ear would be enough.
Quan Zhilong's ears and hands hurt, and now his already deflated wallet was also starting to hurt, but he didn't dare to pull his hands back. The redness in his eyes deepened, "Okay...Okay."
Manual piercing is cleaner and safer than machine piercing, but the pain is doubled. Yien clearly felt a needle piercing the skin of her right earlobe, and then the needle moved through the flesh, eventually tearing the last layer of skin and flesh completely.
The pain became more obvious after I imagined the movement of the needle piercing the flesh.
After one hole was pierced, Ye-en felt numb all over. She let go of Quan Zhilong's hand and covered her right ear, her toes stretched straight because of the pain. Her eyes were red as she looked at Kwon Jiyong, who was also like a red rabbit. She looked like she was about to burst into tears when she spoke, "Kwon Jiyong! Is this what you mean by not hurting?"
So... so fierce...
Quan Zhilong was startled by the tone of her calling his name. He already felt guilty for coaxing Yien into getting earrings, and now that she was really angry, Quan Zhilong dared not continue, "How about...how about not getting the other side done?"
Ye-eun was about to nod when she heard the shop owner ask in confusion, "Ah? You don't want the free one left?"
It would be easier if the customer didn't hit her. Both children's eyes were red, and the store manager raised his hand to take off the sterile gloves.
Unexpectedly, Ye-eun heard the word "free". She paused, feeling her right ear which was still slightly numb, and asked softly, "Aunt, can I leave my left earlobe unpierced? As long as it's an earlobe, it's fine."
The prices of ear bones and cochleas are different, so the shopkeeper definitely won't agree. But with four ear holes pierced on three earlobes, no one loses out!
"Ah? It's possible..."
Ye-eun looked at Quan Zhilong's shocked expression and blinked, "Zhilong, does your ear still hurt? Is it numb?"
"Should I feel pain or shouldn't I? And numbness... No, should I feel numb?" Kwon Ji-yong was still confused, but he knew very well that he must not make Yi-eun angry again at this time.
Ye-eun nodded. “You should be so numb that you can’t feel any pain. Ask your two ears which one is in this state now.”
Quan Zhilong understood. She didn't want to pierce her ears again today, but she didn't want to waste this free opportunity, so she had to give him another shot in the ear.
He pinched both ears. Both ears felt painful, but the left ear felt slower. "Left ear."
It was the first time for the shop owner to encounter such a strange "buy one get one free" gift. He steadily passed the needle through the boy's left earlobe and sighed, "Kids nowadays are really..."
Be creative.
After both of them got their ears pierced, Kwon Ji-yong got three earrings and Ye-eun got a single earring in her right ear. However, the most important issue now is how to avoid the parents' sharp eyes.
"We can do it yesterday or tomorrow." Yien felt guilty when she thought about telling her aunt that she was going to the amusement park, "But we can't do it today..."
Quan Zhilong covered his ears and looked around the alley, finally fixing his gaze on the earmuffs. "Ye Eun, it's normal to wear earmuffs in this kind of weather in January because you're afraid of being blown by the wind while playing amusement rides..."
Normal, very normal. However, what is abnormal is that he wears earmuffs even when eating at home.
Li Zhen opened her daughter's earmuffs and laughed, "Oh, why did you only pierce one ear?"
Many elementary school students in Korea get their ears pierced, and as long as it's safe and hygienic, it's not a big deal. She found it even more amusing to think that there might be another person next door who might also be hiding, "Zhilong only got one side pierced?"
Yi Eun shook her head, as if she heard Kwon Ji-yong's screams coming from another house a few steps away.
"Mom, this is fashion."
"Who asked you this? Is the point about how many ear piercings you have? The point is that you dare to lie to me with Ye-eun now!? Will you dare to secretly get a tattoo without telling me in the future?"
Han Lanji became angrier and angrier the more she thought about it. Was it wrong for her to support her son's rap in the past? It's not her stereotype, but that circle is really chaotic. It's okay now because she is still young, but what if it gets worse when she grows up and goes to college?
She took a deep breath and said seriously, "Quan Zhilong, you must promise me that you will never mess around when it comes to making friends or falling in love."
Quan Zhilong raised his hands above his head in a gesture of surrender, his eyes filled with tears, "Absolutely, absolutely not!"
"Also..." Han Lanji closed her eyes, thinking that the child was still young, so it shouldn't be that serious. However, after thinking about the fact that he had sneaked out to watch the game recently, she still said, "You can smoke, but you absolutely cannot touch certain things. Do you understand?"
Quan Zhilong was stunned for a moment, and after looking at my mother's serious expression for a few seconds, he reacted. He raised his hand and swore, "I understand!"
