Chapter 94 It’s over, I’m drunk!
In order to hide her small tattoo, Ye Eun wore calf socks to cover it for several days, but Kwon Ji Yong blatantly showed off his arms, and within two days, fans took photos of the tattoo on his arm.
The day after the photo was uploaded to the Internet, Ye-eun received calls from two of her mothers: “…”
Mom, your internet speed is too fast!
Also, it turned out that Kwon Ji-yong asked her to get a tattoo together just to take the risk of being scolded together!
"My aunt said that when you were little, she suspected that you would secretly get a tattoo when you grew up, but she didn't expect that I would do it..." Ye Eun was just finishing filming the MV for "I don't care". After saying hello to the extras who came to film, she lowered her head and sent a message to Quan Zhilong while leaving with the members. "She also said that if we get tattoos again, we shouldn't go home. Let's go wandering with our little quilts and blankets!"
However, Minzy glanced at a boy in the extras behind her and said to the unnies with a smile, "Unnie, unnie! That oppa is quite handsome! He's the one standing next to Hyejeong unnie now."
Ye-eun turned her head and took a look. The boy indeed had the appearance that Koreans like. The classic drooping single eyelids of Koreans did not affect his delicate facial features. Even the director put him in the most conspicuous position when shooting the MV. She couldn't help but sigh, "I feel like it's going to be very popular in the future."
Unexpectedly, she actually heard it. Lee Jong Suk, who had been a trainee in S/M but ultimately wanted to become an actor, smiled at her in a friendly manner. Ye-eun also nodded politely.
Kwon Ji-yong had just finished recording the dry version of "Just Look at Me Part 2". This song was originally written for him by Teddy, but Young-bae also liked it after listening to it.
Yong Pei plucked up the courage to ask him for the song. It was the first time that his gentle friend took the initiative to ask for it, and the song was indeed very suitable for him, so Kwon Ji-yong gave him the song without hesitation.
Not only that, as the captain, Kwon Ji-yong not only did not mind that he was not the first solo in the team, but also helped him write the intro for his first solo album and the lyrics for another song.
But Kwon Ji-yong himself also likes this song, so after thinking it over, he wrote a new version and planned to release it after Youngbae's solo. Today I am recording my newly revised version of "Just Look at Me Part 2".
After receiving Ye-eun's message, Kwon Ji-yong closed the door of the recording studio and leaned against the wall. He then heard faint voices coming from the office next door. It was the company discussing how to promote Taeyang, the first solo member of Bigbang. Quan Zhilong lowered his eyebrows and smiled and sent a message to Yien, "Oh, did your mom tell you that? Then choose one?"
Thinking of how his mom called him and directly scolded him for always "leading" Ye-eun astray, Kwon Ji-yong couldn't help but laugh with his head down. When Ye-eun led him to do bad things when they were young, his mom also scolded him for not stopping Ye-eun.
Who is my mother's child after all? His eyes curved and he searched for a few pictures online and sent them to Yien.
Ye-eun saw the pictures of Korean bridges he sent her and stood there speechless, replying, "No choice! I don't want to be a beggar with you."
She wants to be a big star! Thinking about this mini album, Ye-eun feels very confident. She looked at the members who were waiting for her, trotted over and hugged the two sisters' arms, her eyes curved, and she shouted in their puzzled looks: "We won't sleep under the bridge, 2NE1 will buy a big house!"
On April 20, 2008, the title song "I don't care" from the first mini album "2NE1 1st Mini Album", which was released two months after their official debut, topped the daily chart in a single day.
When they went on KBS's Music Bank to promote their song, Ye-eun was no longer as nervous as she was during her first promotion of "Fire".
This time they didn't do a one-shot shoot to promote their comeback, but instead went with a light package. When Fire was promoting their music, it was still early spring, so they were hailed as "the most dressed girl group in history." This time, while promoting their music in May, Ye Eun and Park Bom finally showed off their beautiful long legs.
Five people were waiting for the MC's interview backstage. Ye-eun did not dye her hair this time. Except for two tufts of hair behind her ears that were left under her collarbone, the rest of her hair was cut to her chin, and for the first time, she had thin straight bangs on her forehead.
The jellyfish-shaped hairstyle makes Ye-eun's face look more delicate. Paired with a white shirt and plum-colored shorts, she exudes a youthful vibe.
Park Bom, who was wearing a black and blue miniskirt, was holding Park Sandara with a serious face and humming "I don't care" softly, while practicing the dance for the chorus.
It was the waving dance choreographed by Ye-eun. The movements were not difficult, but it was not easy to hit the mark and create beauty at the same time.
The remaining three people all laughed. Although Park Chun-unnie was not good at dancing, she tried very hard.
It wasn't until a few minutes later when the two MCs walked in that the five of them immediately stood in a row and bowed to greet each other.
Tablo, the leader and lead singer of Epik High, served as the MC of Music Bank together with actress Kim Sung-eun this time. Being more familiar with the music scene, he almost took the leading role.
He smiled and bowed slightly to 2NE1, then glanced at the camera, "2NE1, can you introduce yourselves?"
Lee Chae-lin, who was standing on the far right, raised her hand and said, “What’s up,” while the other four members said in unison, “We are 2NE1.”
Although he is not an artist of YG, almost all hip-hop singers in Korea have a good impression of YG, not to mention that his girlfriend Kang Hye-jung is also an actress under YG.
When he saw the five members of 2NE1, he smiled and asked, "Are you excited to be returning to 2NE1 this time?"
As the team leader, CL took on the responsibility of answering questions. She was answering the questions seriously, but Ye-eun listened to her official statement, kept smiling and started to recite it in her mind. She was standing closest to the MC, so Tablo naturally saw her wandering gaze at a glance.
Seeing that the curve of Ye-eun's mouth seemed to be fixed and her eyes were staring blankly ahead, Tablo couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, but did not disturb her wandering mind.
Instead, when 2NE1 presented the albums to their seniors after the interview, he smiled and waved his hand in front of Ye-eun, and said jokingly: "Ye-eun xi, you can't really not care!"
The others looked at Ye-eun with amusement as she scratched her head awkwardly, “Ye-eun, are you memorizing the song in your head again? Just finish the song first!”
Ye-eun curved her eyes, nodded, and followed them onto the stage.
As soon as the music of "I don't care" sounded, the fans in the audience immediately screamed, and they would shout the name of the member who had a part.
And when it comes to the hand-waving dance in the chorus, the fans in the audience will even wave their hands together to cheer.
The cheering, which had become more standardized compared to their debut song, made Ye-en couldn't help but curl her lips. After turning around, she looked at Chen Ying who was holding a SLR camera.
When she noticed that Chen Ying'oni's once scarred wrist had turned into a bright rose, the curve of her mouth rose even more.
The once timid fan sister has finally made a flower bloom on her scar after all these years. Even though she was just a small factor in the other party's determination to change, Ye Eun feels truly proud.
When the music ended, the five people did the ending pose. Ye-eun looked over there, and raised her hand and waved before finally leaving the stage.
The fans over there shouted instantly, and Chen Ying smiled while holding the SLR, then raised the SLR again, turned the view, and pressed the freeze button on his brilliant smile.
During the promotional event that day, 2NE1 once again won the first place, and then "I don't care" won the first place on "Music Bank" for five consecutive weeks and won the first place on SBS's "Inkigayo" for three consecutive weeks.
With this song, they became the first Korean girl group to win five consecutive titles on Music Bank.
Seeing that the internet was once again flooded with messages about “Monster Newcomer”, they decided to celebrate a little. Unlike Bigbang who go to the club to celebrate whenever they are happy, 2NE1 was criticized by their staff for returning to the dormitory as soon as they finish work.
They ordered food and drinks and even bought a small cake to celebrate their fifth consecutive championship. Ye-eun was so proud that she made a poster of them and hung it in the dormitory. She also put the five names on the trophy for the five consecutive championships. "Hehe, one for each person. Even if we don't live in the dormitory anymore, it will be just enough."
"..." Seeing the five of them appear in the dormitory, CL lit up some incense and let the fragrance fill the room, trying to make herself not dislike this dormitory so much, "What about the three trophies of Inkigayo?"
Ye-eun had already thought about it, "We'll take turns keeping it! Each three people will keep it for a period of time, so that even if we don't live together, we have to meet up once in a while, hehe."
The other three have long been accustomed to CL's incense-lighting behavior, and have even become accustomed to seeing Ye-eun's narcissistic and neurotic behavior and thoughts.
They sat in front of the small coffee table in the living room, unpacking takeout boxes. Minzy muttered, "Five consecutive championships, is it okay for me to eat a few pieces of fried chicken today? I'll lose weight tomorrow."
Park Chun also nodded, touched his face, and whispered: "Minzhi, why don't we not eat today, and do you think I should get my nose fixed..."
Before he could finish his words, Ye-eun smelled fried chicken and rushed over to grab a chicken drumstick while putting on gloves. "Lose weight? Min-ji, how many pounds do you weigh? You already exercise enough every day!"
Kong Minzhi looked at Park Chun and Ye Eun's legs, then looked down at herself, her face full of confusion: "But the president said I was too fat after watching the music performance last time..."
"The president always says that I don't have breasts..." Park Sandara raised her hand and touched her breasts, hesitating for a moment.
Park Chun also sighed, "I was wearing a suspender that day, and the president also told me to lose weight, but the medicine I took..."
Yi-eun couldn't help but roll her eyes. The president really took the opportunity to do something.
They already knew that Park Bom had psychological problems because she saw her best friend die in front of her in middle school. While they felt sorry for Park Bom, they were also worried about the side effects of the hormone drugs she needed to take regularly.
But Park Bom actually has it under control pretty well, because being on camera tends to make a person's proportions appear more adult. Although she can't appear terribly thin on camera like other female idols, she is not fat at all.
"...Ah, it's good that you can control the hormones like this." Park Sandara sighed and ate the fried chicken in small bites. Because they were all members, she hesitated and asked, "Should I get a breast augmentation?"
Ye-eun took a bite of the chicken leg and handed a disposable glove to Cailin with her other hand. She said seriously, "Really, Chun-unnie, don't do any plastic surgery. You look so beautiful now!"
She looked at Park Bom's face, whose delicate features were like those of a Barbie doll. "She's so beautiful! Ouni, do you believe in the president's aesthetic or mine?"
Not to mention Park Chun, even the other three people couldn't help laughing, "...Tell me, who is more handsome, Ji Long or Da Sheng?"
Ye-eun looked at them strangely, took the "drink" handed over by Park Sandara, and said seriously, "They are handsome in different ways."
I like Zhilong, so naturally I think he is good in every way. He is handsome without makeup, and even more handsome with makeup.
Ye-eun sighed and took a sip of what was in her hand, a strange and unpalatable taste entered her mouth, but combined with the fried chicken, it tasted surprisingly good. She frowned and looked down. Dara unnie handed her the beer. She didn't change it. She continued to say with the beer, "But Daesung oppa is handsome in a very specific way. His small eyes are pretty, his thick lips are also handsome, and he is even more perfect when he smiles."
She said seriously, "Ouni, if President Shin says you're ugly, you're done for! He thinks Daesung oppa is ugly too. And in his eyes, no one is perfect, right?"
Park Chun couldn't help but burst out laughing and gave up the idea of getting plastic surgery, but she felt sympathy for Kwon Ji-yong.
Ye-eun looked at Park Sandara at the end and rushed over to her, "What about you, unnie? At least you are older than me, right? Huh!?"
She looked down at her chest, then shamelessly raised her hand to Park Sandara's chest. Park Sandara stepped back in panic, as if she had seen a gangster, but she couldn't help but smile and reached out to her, "Ah, Lee Ye-eun, you're a gangster!"
Li Cailin was frightened by the two people fighting and choked. When the two people twisted to the side, she squeezed to Park Sandara's original seat and sat down, "Oh my god, they are going crazy again."
The two best looking guys in the team, but also the craziest. Li Cailin sighed and picked up another chicken drumstick. "But what Yeen said is not wrong. If she wants to make trouble for us because she is not satisfied, we don't object. But if she wants to go because of the president, we don't agree."
She smiled and pulled her eyes. "The boss asked me to open my eyes, but I think I look pretty cool after putting on makeup. After the surgery, I feel like I have lost my own characteristics."
Kong Min-ji and Park Bom looked at her and laughed too.
“Ah, if you two keep making trouble, there will be no food.” Li Cailin glanced at the two of them, and sure enough, Ye Eun stood up suddenly, trotted a few steps, and lay on Park Chun’s back, “Ouni, I want to eat sweet and sour pork ribs!”
Park Sandara tidied up her messy clothes and quickly reached out for the fried rice cakes.
The five of them shared some snacks, and when they were almost done, the others noticed that Ye-eun's cheeks were beginning to turn red...
"No wonder she was so crazy today." Park Sandara touched her hair, "Who gave her the beer? She has never drunk it before, right?"
Kong Minzhi blinked, bit her chopsticks and glanced at Park Sandara, "It seems that it was given to Yeen by you, unnie..."
"..." Park Sandara pursed her lips, touched her nose, and lowered her head, pretending not to hear.
In South Korea, minors are not allowed to drink alcohol, and except for Park Bom and Sandara Park, all other members of 2NE1 are not adults according to Korean age.
It's just that Lee Chae-lin had lived abroad for so long that she had naturally tried it, but Ye-eun and Min-ji had never touched alcohol.
Having stayed in the dormitory without any fresh air, Yien's mind was actually quite clear, but her cheeks began to turn red. She looked at the others and suddenly smiled, "Do I look like I'm drunk now?"
A few people nodded, and then saw Yien start to walk out, "That's good, then I'm going to go find Zhilong to play!"
The remaining four looked at each other, "…what does she want to do?"
After leaving the dormitory, Yeen walked straight and even took two small steps to make sure that she was not drunk. She put her hand into her coat and suddenly couldn't help but curled the corners of her mouth while waiting for the elevator.
"Kwon Ji-yong, open the door!" She lay at the door of Bigbang's dormitory, holding her cell phone to call Kwon Ji-yong, pretending to be drunk, "Hurry up, wuwuwu, I feel so bad."
When Kwon Ji-yong received the call, he was startled for a second, then he trotted out to open the door under the members' puzzled gazes.
As soon as the door opened, Ye-eun rushed straight to him, covering her forehead "weakly" as she fell. Her jellyfish head became messy because of her movements, but she was fully immersed in the performance, "I drank alcohol, and my head is dizzy."
"..." Several members of Bigbang blinked at Ye-eun's appearance, with a bit of doubt in their confusion. Is she really drunk?
Kwon Ji-yong glanced at them, closed the door, and hugged the powerless Ye-eun.
She seemed to be completely powerless. Her hands were on her body, but her body kept sliding down. She was still saying, "It's over. I'm drunk!"
Even though he had high marks in acting classes, his acting was so poor because he had never been drunk.
Quan Zhilong hugged her waist, smelling the barely detectable smell of alcohol coming from her body, his eyes curved, and he agreed with her: "What should we do? I'll go buy you some hangover soup?"
Ye-eun paused, stole a glance at him, met his smiling eyes, and started to pretend to be dizzy again, "Oh, I can't walk anymore. Can you carry me to buy it?"
He laughed out loud, and Quan Zhilong deliberately said, "Wait for me a moment, I'll go get an umbrella."
“…” Yeen’s eyes suddenly widened. Take an umbrella? Do I have to hang myself up again like I did when I was a kid?
She couldn't help but glance at Quan Zhilong and shook his arm coquettishly, "Carry me on your back!"
The expression on Yi-eun's face was a mixture of shock and grievance. Quan Zhilong suddenly laughed. After a few seconds, he squatted slightly in front of her and said, "Come on."
"Yeah!" Ye Eun cheered and rushed forward, hooking her hands around Quan Zhilong's neck, clamping her legs around his waist, and burying her face in the crook of his neck, "Hey, hold your back steady, don't let me fall this time."
Quan Zhilong held her calf, and the girl on him was trying hard to control herself from pressing down on him. He squinted his eyes and carried Yien steadily towards the elevator, even freeing his hands to press the buttons. "Didn't I carry you on my back during your first period? Wasn't it unstable at that time?"
Yi Eun raised the corner of her mouth, and rubbed her head against Quan Zhilong's neck, "Well, I want you to carry me on your back again."
Ye-eun on his back became quiet, and Kwon Ji-yong stopped talking too, waiting quietly for the elevator to reach the first floor.
The elevator reopened in a dozen seconds. Ye-eun swung her legs and smiled as she unhooked his hand. "Okay, I'll get down and walk by myself."
Kwon Ji-yong was half squatting, and Ye-eun took a small jump, stood firmly, held Kwon Ji-yong's hand, and walked in the community.
Because they were in the community, neither of them wore masks and they were chatting like an ordinary couple.
However, after walking a short distance, Ye-eun, who was originally quite sober, was blown by the natural wind and actually became a little drowsy.
She shook her head and looked up at Quan Zhilong's still talking mouth. She could no longer hear what he was saying, but an idea popped into her head.
“It’s time for Ye-eun to take control of the relationship again!”
