Chapter 72: The president is unkind and Yien is unjust.
"What's wrong?" Park Sandara asked when she saw Ye Eun stand up.
Yi-eun said "hush" and waved her hand, "Ji-long just walked over. I'll go check on him."
I was clearly very energetic in the practice room, and even felt that I could practice for a long time. However, when I came out of the practice room, I suddenly felt a little sleepy, and even felt that my heart started beating irregularly again.
Yien slapped her face to try to sober herself up, and when her brain started working again, she tiptoed to catch up with Kwon Ji-yong.
He lowered his head, holding the phone in one hand, and took out the other hand that was originally in his pocket. From Ye-en's perspective, he was in a very low mood, and perhaps he was immersed in thought, he seemed to have not noticed that there was a sneaky person behind him.
The two of them walked like this, one following the other. Ye-eun made almost no sound when she walked on tiptoe. She was very confident in her tracking skills. She even followed directly after they left the company, not hiding even when there were obstructions.
It was time to turn a corner. Quan Zhilong didn't move the car. He raised his eyes slightly and glanced at the smug Yien through the glass in front of him. When he hid at the corner, the corners of his mouth began to rise.
There is only one road at this turning, and Yien calmly waited for his figure to disappear before following him.
Where are you going? Yien frowned and thought, why is he just walking out of the company like this without knowing what he is going to do?
Suddenly, a hand reached out and grabbed the corner of Yien's clothes, accompanied by a low voice: "Robbery!"
"Ahhhhhhhh!" Yeen was startled by the sudden appearance of the hand and screamed in fright. She had been suffering from irregular heartbeat recently, and now she could feel the sound of her own heart beating so violently that it could reach her ears. When her heartbeat slowly calmed down, she lowered her head and pulled the corners of her mouth.
How could she not recognize the voice even if it was lower? Yien couldn't help but roll her eyes, raising her hand to lift up his hat which was deliberately pulled down.
"Ah..." The word "Ah Xi" was about to come out of her mouth, but stopped. Yi En glared at Quan Zhilong who was still laughing, stretched out her hand and hit his arm, "Why are you scaring me!"
Feeling a slight pain in his arm, Quan Zhilong laughed instead. He was really scared. He tilted his head and said, "Why are you following me when it's obviously you?"
He loosened his grip on Ye-eun's clothes, opened his hands, tilted his head and looked at her, and spoke again in a pinched voice: "There's no need to follow me. I won't resist no matter what you do to me."
Yien shuddered all over, cursing inwardly with disdain: "Speak properly!"
I don't know when it started to become like this every day, saying all those cheesy words and making these seductive sounds!
While scolding him, Ye Eun actually reached out to touch his coat pocket. Just now in the company, he put his hands in his pockets at the beginning. Normally, if there were no fans around, or if he didn't want to look cool, he wouldn't walk with his hands in his pockets.
There is definitely something! Yi Eun supported herself and reached out her hand quickly without Quan Zhilong not paying attention. After touching something, she looked up at Quan Zhilong and narrowed her eyes.
"Hey hey hey!" Quan Zhilong lowered his head in panic, this is for real! I haven't taken it out to look at it yet, there is still hope! He immediately reached into his pocket and squeezed Ye-eun’s hand tightly.
Her hands suddenly became unable to move, but Ye-eun actually figured out what the square box was without even looking at it. However, she never thought that Quan Zhilong would smoke. After all, in her heart, Quan Zhilong was still the crying and spoiled little boy who grew up with her. Yien stretched out her tone, "Let me go, don't make me angry."
Quan Zhilong pursed his lips, slowly loosened his hand that was holding Yien's wrist and pulled it out. He lowered his head guiltily, "Just look at it, why are you so angry..."
Yi-eun flipped the cigarette box in her hand. It said "Marlboro" on it. She opened the box and found that it was no longer full. She glanced at Quan Zhilong who was keeping his head down and not talking, "When did you start smoking?"
"…This year," Quan Zhilong raised his hand and rubbed his shoulders, with a tired look on his face, "I'm too tired…"
As a new group that just debuted, every show, commercial, and music stage is a very important opportunity. The more they value it, the more nervous they become, and the more nervous they are, the more anxious they become.
As the captain, he has to take on the responsibility of communicating with his predecessors and staff. In order to leave a good impression on everyone, he is tense almost every day.
That's how I started smoking.
"Then why didn't you tell me?" Ye Eun looked at him. After their debut, they spent less and less time together. He would always tell her in text messages and phone calls what song he sang today and who he met. It seemed that he lived a fulfilling and happy life every day. She pouted, "You've learned to pretend with me, Quan Zhilong, you only report good news to me, not bad news?"
"You've been busy lately, haven't you?" The other party didn't seem that angry. Quan Zhilong breathed a sigh of relief and felt fortunate, "Fortunately you're not the captain..."
It's really exhausting, taking everything into consideration. Even though I have just reached adulthood, I can no longer be a child.
Ye-eun also sighed and stuffed the cigarette box back into his pocket. "Okay, but you can't smoke too often. If you have something to say, just tell me. Why are you pretending to be mature in front of me?"
She narrowed her eyes and raised her hands to pinch Quan Zhilong's cheeks, "Ah, don't become a boring adult!"
Quan Zhilong was not to be outdone. He tapped Yien's forehead with two slightly bent fingers, "Ah, why are you pretending to be mature? I am an adult! You are the adult. Hurry up and make your stupid head wise, Li Yien."
Yi Eun covered her forehead and glared at Quan Zhilong, "You are the dumb one! Don't knock my smart head to make it dull. I tend to feel sleepy when I leave the training room lately."
"You get sleepy easily when you leave the training room?" Quan Zhilong was stunned for a moment, "I feel the same way recently."
Could it be that even childhood sweethearts have this in common? Yi Eun looked at Kwon Ji-yong suspiciously. She had also heard that people who live together will look more and more alike. No wonder Ji-yong has become more beautiful recently.
She thought it was because of the makeup?
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Quan Zhilong looked down at himself. Is there anything wrong?
Ye-eun shook her head and threw the image of Kwon Ji-yong in women's clothing out of her mind. Oh, the more she thought about it, the more she thought about it. "So you looked sad just now because you were tired from training?"
Kwon Ji-yong was silent for a second, then pulled Yi-eun to a small bench behind the company and sat down.
"The president said that "Lies" should be sung by Bigbang, and I originally wanted it to be a solo for me..." Kwon Ji-yong pondered, and seeing the president's expression, it was impossible for him to disobey. He could only make some changes and change each part to suit each member.
I will take this into consideration when writing songs in the future. Quan Zhilong sighed and decided to change his tone and singing style when recording the demo.
Ye-eun glanced at him and saw that he was looking down, as if he was lost in his emotions again. She also sighed: "Alas, after all, it's a song written for my first love..."
It’s normal to want to sing by yourself.
Before he could finish his words, Quan Zhilong suddenly jumped up, his cheeks flushed, "What, what first love? Didn't you say you didn't have any love?"
"..." Ye-eun tilted her head in confusion, "Why are you so excited?"
At that time, I didn’t think there was anything wrong with getting wet in the rain. Now that I’m an adult, I realize that I was a middle school student?
Quan Zhilong flattened the corners of his mouth and said stubbornly: "That's right, it's not first love! What kind of first love is it if we are not together..."
Now I really want to go back and slap my old self. Just chase her, and let Ye-eun know! It would have been fine if he just let her know, but he also let her see him crying in the heavy rain!
Oh, and even because of his "first love", both himself and Ye-eun got sick.
Quan Zhilong thought, why did he realize now that Daesung was not the biggest obstacle in his pursuit of his wife, but himself!
He racked his brains to explain, "Of course you have to have your first love. What's the point of first love if you don't have a romantic relationship?"
"Is that so?" Ye-eun looked at him hesitantly, "But, we weren't together with my first love either?"
"Ah?" Quan Zhilong's mouth corners suddenly raised, he coughed twice, and his body straightened up, "We are not together, it's better not to be together."
He looked down and saw a puppy that had come out from nowhere lying on the ground basking in the sun. In the sunlight, the dog's fur seemed to be glowing faintly. His face was full of smiles. "Oh my god, today's weather is great, and this dog is a really good dog. This song "Lies" should be sung by a group!"
"?" Yi Eun looked up at Kwon Ji-yong. Why did he suddenly go crazy? However, she looked at the blue sky and patted the seat next to her and asked Quan Zhilong to sit down.
They sat on a bench, the sunlight filtered through the gaps in the trees, casting dappled shadows. An unknown puppy beside them was taking a lazily nap in the warm sun. Quan Zhilong watched and suddenly laughed.
Although Kwon Ji-yong agreed to give "Lies" to the group, Ye-eun always felt uncomfortable. Can the president give Kwon Ji-yong's song to whoever he wants? According to his personality, he has already given it to the group, so he won't need to give it to other people in the future, right?
Yi-eun once again realized that behind Yang Hyun-suk's smiling face every day was actually a domineering and despotic person.
A sharp tongue is already annoying enough, but it can be even more annoying. As she thought about this, she walked towards the practice room.
Turning on the button on the wall that controlled the light, Ye-en walked into the practice room. The practice room was incredibly quiet when she was alone. She suddenly heard a slight sound of air flowing.
It sounded like an air conditioner running. However, how could their company, which could have dug out dead mice from the corner of the training room last year, have the money to install air conditioning?
Ye-eun stood in the middle of the training room, trying hard to listen to the sound, but the sound disappeared in less than a minute, which made her suspicious.
After all, she has been full of energy when she comes to training recently, and she is not the only one who starts to feel sleepy as soon as she goes out. It’s just that she may have started to have an irregular heartbeat because she has spent the longest time in the training room.
But what could go wrong in the training room?
She leaned against the wall, and after a few minutes, she became more energetic, and her brain was so active that it seemed as if she could finish a set of tests on the spot. Ye-eun lowered her head, frowned, and took out her phone to search on the browser.
Starting from why people suddenly become energetic, various related searches finally came up with "Why some hotel rooms in Macau make people feel energetic".
Her eyes lit up and she clicked on it. The more she looked at it, the uglier her face became.
The president is really... a psycho.
Ye-eun, who cursed C8 in her heart for the first time, sneered and left the training room directly back to the dormitory to get her medical records and argue with the president.
"President nim." Ye Eun opened the door and knocked on the door that had been pushed to the wall with a smile, but her eyes were full of coldness, "President, can I come in?"
Yang Hyun Suk looked at the door that was already wide open and thought, you've already stepped foot in, what are you still asking?
However, he still had his signature smile on his face: "Ye-eun, come in, what's going on?"
"Boss, I seem to have some health problems recently." She put the medical records in front of him, stood in the middle of Yang Hyun Suk's office and looked up at the air conditioner, "Oh, I just realized that there is an air conditioner in the boss' office."
Yang Hyun Suk was stunned for a moment, glanced at the medical records, and didn't care in his heart, but his face showed concern: "What's wrong? Are you tired recently?"
Ye-eun turned her gaze away from the air conditioner and sighed, "I don't know what's wrong with me lately, but I feel so energetic and eager to practice as soon as I go to the training room. I feel like I can dance for 20 hours a day! I'm so tired just like that."
As she spoke, she paid attention to Yang Hyun Suk's expression. Sure enough, the smile on his face began to show some pride, as if he felt that what he did was simply something that only a genius could do. "Really? It seems that you are very excited to hear about your debut. Tsk, and Bigbang will have another concert in two months. They have been very motivated during practice recently."
Excited and motivated, Ye-eun was so angry that she laughed. What a shameless president.
She smiled and asked directly, "Isn't it because the president pumped oxygen into the training room? Aren't we working hard enough? Originally, we only slept four or five hours a day during training for our debut. Now everyone is so energetic that they only sleep two or three hours a day and spend the rest of the time in the training room. The president is very satisfied, right?"
Ye-eun pointed at her medical records and finally stopped laughing. She looked at Yang Hyun-suk with a cold expression, "President-nim, if you continue to secretly pump oxygen into the training room and make my condition worse, it will constitute abuse of a minor according to Korean law."
Yang Hyun Suk was silent for two seconds. He didn't expect that he would be discovered while secretly taking oxygen. The expression on his face disappeared, "Ye Eun, this is for your own good."
Ye-eun lowered her head and smiled, then tilted her head to look at her medical records.
He didn't think he had done anything wrong at all. With the money for secretly injecting oxygen, why didn't he repair the shabby training room or rent an extra dormitory?
Yang Hyun Suk followed her gaze and looked at the case. The doctor's advice on it was to have a good rest. However, even so, he still knew whether Ye Eun had rested recently. He finally took a deep breath and compromised, "Okay, I get it, you can go out now."
After leaving the president's office, Ye-eun hid in the emergency passage and called Uncle Jin: "Uncle! Yes, it's not that hard, not tiring, really."
"I called you today to ask you, uncle. Didn't you say before that you have a friend who studies law? Could you help me find out what the process is for registering a trademark? For opening a store? No, no, I want to find time to register all our stage names."
"Yes, please ask if we can avoid going through the company registration. Thank you, uncle."
After hanging up the phone, Ye Eun sighed. Since the president secretly pumped oxygen into their training room, don't blame her for secretly registering all their stage names.
Since you are unkind, I can only be unjust.
In April 2007, Ye-eun secretly took several members of Bigbang and 2ne1 to register trademarks for their stage names. Although they laughed at her and asked why they suddenly wanted to do this and what else could someone use their stage names for, in the end, all ten of them still rushed together and registered trademarks for their stage names.
At the end of April, when Yang Hyun Suk asked company employees to release the trainees' public photos and "Secret Cohabiting Girl" at the same time, he remembered that he had to register a stage name. However, within a few hours, he heard the staff tell him that their stage name had been registered.
Yang Hyun Suk sat in the office and looked at the mirror beside him. He felt that he suddenly aged a few years after knowing this. That's one less way to keep kids in the company. He suddenly twitched the corner of his mouth and said, Yeen, you really... are bound to become famous.
All the money you earn will only be enough to compensate me for my mental damages after you share it with me! Yang Hyun Suk leaned back in his chair, looking at the air conditioner above his head with an expressionless face.
