Chapter 31, exclusively released...
What are you doing here?
When Kwon Ji-yong said this, he glanced at the sky outside. It's no wonder he reacted this way. After all, a girl appearing here in the middle of the night, no matter what he was thinking, his first reaction was to worry about her safety.
"I...I want to see you."
Jin Zhen'er knew he was concerned about her, not questioning her, but she was still a little unhappy to hear this because his tone was too harsh. This made her start to overthink again, wondering if his recent clingy behavior was just an act.
After all, he had shown signs of wanting to break up before, but then suddenly became inexplicably enthusiastic. At first, she didn't think much of it, but she quickly came to her senses from the joy of Kwon Ji-yong becoming as enthusiastic as before, and then began to have wild suspicions and a vague impatience.
When Kwon Ji-yong reverted to his former passionate self, she couldn't see the future world superstar in him, and it reminded her of how she used to dislike him when he was humble.
To be honest, Kim Jin-ah might not actually like Kwon Ji-yong that much, and she might never have liked him at all. Otherwise, she wouldn't have rejected him so decisively in her past life, and she wouldn't have shown such disdain when he pursued her, allowing her friends to ridicule him.
It's simply impossible for someone to fall in love with Kwon Ji-yong immediately after being reborn. The reason she's convinced she likes him is probably due to her inner persistence and fear of repeating past mistakes. So when Kwon Ji-yong acts like a sycophant, she loses her previous caution and becomes impatient with him again, just like when she didn't like him before.
The reason I was so cautious in my attitude towards Kwon Ji-yong before was because I saw him as the superstar he would become in the future.
"So you don't want to see me, is that it?"
Kwon Ji-yong didn't want to have any conflict with her here, so when he heard her tone was off, he immediately prepared to pull her towards his studio.
Jin Zhen'er didn't struggle because she didn't want to argue with him in front of her love rival. That would make her lose face and give him the impression that he had an opportunity to take advantage of her. So she followed his lead.
"Is this Kwon Ji-yong's girlfriend? Kim Jin-ah?"
Jiang Zhiyuan, seemingly forgetting the argument from earlier in the day, quietly moved closer to Jiang Yalin and whispered a question.
"Um."
Jiang Yalin ignored her, not even glancing at her. After giving a soft "hmm," she turned to look at Dong Yongpei.
When are you going back?
The question was very clear, and Dong Yong-bae immediately understood her meaning.
"I wonder how long they're going to talk."
The meaning is quite clear: Kwon Ji-yong finished his conversation and they went back.
This is really frustrating; it interrupts my commute home...
"How about we go check if the Chinese restaurants are closed, and eat something before we go back?"
"No, Dongxu recently told us to eat less, saying that we've all gained weight and can't eat too much, especially late at night."
Dong Young-bae was tempted, but in the end, he refused. There was no other reason; he was just too dedicated. Even though he knew that his current weight wasn't considered fat, he wouldn't object since his manager had already made the request. After all, he wasn't the maknae (youngest member) who was a traitor; he was his manager's good boy.
"oh....."
"Nuna, I don't need to lose weight, I'll eat, Nuna, please treat me to a meal, okay?"
Seeing the smooth-talking maknae, Kang Ah-rin didn't refuse. After all, she wanted to hitch a ride back with him. Taking a BigBang member hostage was necessary, so paying a little money was only fair.
BigBang's eldest brother is the main person on a diet, after all, he used to be overweight, so they dared not let him eat as much as he wanted. Therefore, Kang Ya-rin did not ask him anything, and then looked at Kang Dae-sung.
Are you going?
"Can I...go?"
Look how scared this child is of Quan Zhilong. Jiang Yalin felt a little sorry for him, but not much, maybe only for 0.001 seconds.
"Go ahead."
Then Jiang Yalin took the two youngest members of BigBang to a Chinese restaurant that was still open. Fang Zhixia, who had been waiting for Quan Zhilong to arrive, had a rollercoaster of emotions when she saw the three of them arrive, going from surprise to disappointment.
"Nuna, does this club president have a crush on Zhilong?"
After ordering, Fang Zhixia returned to the kitchen with the menu and lowered her voice to ask Jiang Yalin the question that had been on her mind.
"Some things are better left unsaid, or they'll cause big trouble."
Hearing her words, the maknae naturally didn't understand what kind of big trouble would happen, but she still showed a look of sudden realization, as if she knew. Kang Daesung, who had been watching from beginning to end, couldn't help but mutter to himself, "Idiot." Then he still sat there like an honest person, his smiling face looking a bit silly.
How did you get into the company?
Jiang Yalin was genuinely curious, but she didn't like watching variety shows, not even BigBang's. Naturally, she was very curious about how Jiang Daesung could successfully debut as an idol.
"You mean him? He got into the company and debuted based on his absolute talent."
The youngest member immediately answered, and Kang Daesung didn't refute him, still wearing that smiling expression.
Jiang Yalin had no doubt about this explanation. If their skills weren't good, she really couldn't understand why Yang Xianshuo would let them debut. Moreover, she had seen their live performances and how they practiced at the company. Their skills were so good that you could really overlook the issues with their looks.
But... no buts, doesn't Super Junior next door also have a prodigy? That's even more surprising. After all, SM is known for its flower fields. In a flower field with so many beautiful flowers, suddenly a giant Rafflesia appears. So, it's not so surprising that Daesung from YG, which isn't so strict about appearance, was able to debut smoothly.
Child prodigy: Huh? Rafflesia? Me?
"Nuna, who do you think Zhilong likes?"
He had kept these words in his heart for a long time, but he didn't dare to say them to the person in question. After all, Kwon Ji-yong was quite strict with the younger ones. It wasn't scary when he scolded people with a stern face, but it was scary when he scolded you with a smile. That was a nightmare. In his dreams, he would see him smiling and drawing pictures for him.
"Who cares who he likes? As long as he doesn't like you, that's all that matters."
"Who said that? Brother Zhilong likes me a lot. Don't be fooled by how tough he is when he scolds me. He likes me a lot in private. He buys me food, and sometimes he even buys me jewelry and clothes. He sometimes gives me his card to buy things."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yalin glanced up and down at the maknae.
"I didn't realize he liked you this much. He doesn't even like his girlfriend this much."
After all, they were already thinking about dumping each other.
"Of course! I'm Zhilong's favorite little brother!!!"
The maknae puffed out his chest and glanced at Daesung after saying that. Daesung, who received the look, couldn't help but curse in his heart, "Idiot." Then he still had that smiling face.
Not to mention Jiang Dasheng, even Jiang Yalin wanted to call him an idiot. Is this something to be proud of?
And is the "like" she speaks of the same "like" that the other person perceives?
"But...Nuna, what are you thinking? Aren't you jealous?"
The maknae's (youngest member's) erratic behavior is beyond your imagination. Just a moment ago they were talking about whether they liked each other, and now they've suddenly jumped to whether they're jealous. Anyway, Kang Ya-rin couldn't keep up with the other person's pace for a moment.
"What jealousy?"
"You, don't you like Brother Zhilong? You see so many girls around him who like him, aren't you jealous?"
"Who spread this rumor?! Who spread this rumor that I like Kwon Ji-yong? That guy, what do I like about him?!"
Jiang Yalin was furious and slammed her hand on the table. Although she pulled her hand back in pain, her anger remained.
"Huh? You don't like me? Then why did you come here to be my assistant? With your looks, you'd be a top priority in any company. Even if you're not very talented, you could easily be a pretty face after debuting. If all else fails, you could become an actor. Why did you decide to become a little assistant to Brother Zhilong?"
Looking at the furious Jiang Yalin and the bewildered maknae, Jiang Daesung couldn't help but facepalm, and then cursed in his heart again: "Idiot."
"Who spread this rumor about me? Who said I became an assistant because of Kwon Ji-yong? Don't ask me why I became an assistant, it's definitely not because I like that guy. Tell me, who is it?!"
"Just the people on our team..."
The maknae realized he had messed up and made a fool of himself. He instinctively shrank back and looked at Jiang Yalin with a fawning expression.
"Nuna, please pretend I didn't say any of this, okay? Don't tell Zhilong, or he'll definitely punish me."
He was filled with regret. He should have known better than to ask that question. Now, he was doomed.
"Nuna, don't be angry. Those people are just idle and gossipy. Only this guy took it seriously. We all know that."
They still need to be comforted. Even though they weren't the ones who caused the trouble, they're all members of BigBang, and it's just bad luck that they debuted with this guy.
"I know."
I know that Jiang Yalin said those three words through gritted teeth because she really didn't expect that group of people would spread rumors about her behind her back.
"Spreading baseless rumors, aren't these people afraid of their mouths rotting away..."
