Chapter 73, exclusively released...
"ah?"
Jiang Yalin was surprised that Kwon Ji-yong would suddenly say such a thing. She didn't understand why he would say such a thing to her.
"I just think being in a relationship is pretty good."
"Are you... saying that from the bottom of your heart?"
Jiang Yalin was speechless. If he thought being in a relationship was good, then what about Jin Zhen'er?
However, there are some things she can't say out loud because she's afraid of being misunderstood. Whether it's advising him to date or not to date, it's really not appropriate for Jiang Yalin to say it in her capacity as his manager. But if she were his manager, she could directly dissuade him.
"If you don't want to talk anymore... talk more, talk to whomever you want!!!"
I originally wanted to advise him to reconsider and not ruin other girls' lives, but G-Dragon's words, "I'm more inspired when I'm in love, and 'Lies' was written during my relationship," completely shut me down.
In the past, Jiang Yalin would not have cared whether G-Dragon could write a hit song or not; as long as she stood next to him, she could benefit from his good luck.
But things are different now. She's a shareholder of YG Entertainment now. If G-Dragon can write a hit song, the company can earn more, and she can earn more too. So what if she's dating? She can't date ten or eight at once, but she can date one after another.
Seeing how quickly his attitude changed, Kwon Ji-yong was dumbfounded, then gave a wry smile.
So it's because you don't like her at all that you did that you were so decisive, right?
The initial advice was probably because I didn't want to deal with the messes caused by my relationship. But my later willingness to agree was obviously because it would make money for the company. Although I understand, I still feel resentful.
"You... really don't like me even a little bit?"
Kwon Ji-yong asked one more question, not giving up. Of course, asking this question was both to give himself a last bit of hope and to make sure that when that hope was shattered, he would completely give up.
"Then why do you think I should like you? In other words, what do you think is there about you that I would like? I'm not mocking you, I'm asking you seriously. I'm genuinely curious. It's not that surprising that I don't like you, is it?"
Jiang Yalin felt that Quan Zhilong was really spoiled by women, which was why he was so resentful after meeting someone who didn't like him. He wasn't so conflicted because he liked her, but because she didn't like him.
"I...."
G-Dragon wanted to give examples of why he should be liked, but then he realized that others also had these excellent qualities, and even some of the qualities that others didn't have. Suddenly, he felt that it wasn't really a problem that Kang Ah-rin didn't like him.
"See, you can't answer that either. Actually, you're really suited to be a friend, family member, or colleague, but not a lover. As a friend, they'll protect you; as family, they'll care for you; as a colleague, they'll help you take off; but as a lover, you'll feel tired and sad."
Don't rush to deny it. You can look at Kim Jin-ah as an example. Although both of you had problems when you were dating—after all, in my opinion, it really was like two crazy people in a relationship—when you were in a relationship, you were mainly absorbing the nourishment from the relationship to fuel your creative soul. Once the relationship couldn't provide that nourishment, then it was time for the relationship to end.
Jiang Yalin calmly analyzed the situation word by word. Quan Zhilong listened and agreed, but he felt strange that someone was dissecting his inner thoughts, especially since it was someone he had a crush on.
"And what about you? Are you with Soo-hyuk because you like him?"
G-Dragon was a little curious because they had been together for a while. He was really curious about what had kept them together for so long. Was it love?
"I like him? I guess so. I like his physique, I like his face, I like his thoughtfulness."
Jiang Yalin thought for a moment, then answered Kwon Ji-yong's question seriously, and didn't think there was anything wrong with her answer.
When people fall in love, they always want something in return. They might want his good qualities, his money, or his good looks. Of course, it's also simply about wanting the other person to like them. But she clearly wanted Lee Soo-hyuk because of his physique, his looks, and his thoughtfulness in certain aspects.
Kwon Ji-yong remained silent for a long time after listening. He had thought about many things, but he hadn't considered that Kang Ah-rin was simply lusting after her friend's body. However, when he thought of his friend, he felt that there was nothing wrong with her doing so. But he felt that if Lee Soo-hyuk could maintain this figure, perhaps they could go further together.
Thinking about it this way, G-Dragon felt that his chances of stealing someone else's girlfriend were even slimmer, so he didn't want to struggle anymore, and he didn't want to think about dating so that he could quickly get out of this mood.
It's been said that the best way to move on from a previous relationship is to quickly move on to the next one, right?
Although this statement is a bit cheesy, he has no other choice. He thinks that as long as he treats his current girlfriend well enough, it will be enough to make up for this.
"So what do you think...?"
"First of all, let me make it clear that I will not get involved in your relationship. Secondly, I will not get involved in your relationship. Finally, I still will not get involved in your relationship, so please don't ask me about your relationship problems."
Knowing what this guy was about to say, Jiang Yalin immediately interrupted him and stated her position righteously.
"As a friend, is it wrong for you to offer some advice on my relationships? As my manager, shouldn't you be in charge of managing my relationships?"
Do you know what my motto in life is?
"What?"
G-Dragon was a little stunned by her sudden remark.
"It's none of my business and none of your business. As your friend, all I can do about your relationship problems is offer a few words of comfort when you're hurt. I won't do anything else. Otherwise, if I'm advising you to break up while you're getting back together with your girlfriend, I'll be caught in the middle."
As your manager, I think whether you're in a relationship or not, as long as you can write good songs, even if you're heartbroken, it's just a sacrifice for art.
G-Dragon realized that although he was a rapper, he really couldn't argue with Kang Ah-rin. Moreover, she wasn't just talking nonsense or spouting nonsense; she had a logical and well-founded argument, which is why he couldn't win the argument.
"I see."
In the end, G-Dragon could only reply with this sullen expression.
But despite how confidently Jiang Yalin spoke, she still had a bit of a gossip streak.
"You told me you want to be in a relationship, do you have someone in mind? Tell me about it."
She clearly wanted to hear some gossip, which made G-Dragon's heart skip a beat, but he couldn't refuse her bright, sparkling eyes.
"I... am Fang Zhixia, the president of the Chinese restaurant."
"You beast! Even rabbits don't eat the grass near their burrows! How dare you try to lay a hand on President Fang? Let me tell you, if you break up with President Fang and he closes his shop and goes back to China because he's heartbroken, I'll never forgive you!!!"
We finally found a restaurant that suits our tastes perfectly, and we can't let it disappear because of G-Dragon's relationship.
"No, I don't want to break up. I'm really sad too, okay?"
"Since you're going to be sad no matter who you break up with, why don't you change your target before you start anything? I think Lee Yeon-jin from 2NE1 is pretty good."
"She's just started out, how can she be dating?!"
G-Dragon refused without even thinking about it.
"Oh, so you mean she can start dating you in a few years?"
That's not what I meant...
Kwon Ji-yong felt that he couldn't explain himself no matter what he said, because that was not what he meant at all. How come Kang Ah-rin interpreted it differently? He was starting to not even recognize the word "meaning" anymore.
"No no no, Kwon Ji-yong, you haven't realized that you don't reject people of the opposite sex who have feelings for you or who are close to you and also have feelings for you. You even have a bit of no boundaries. That's why Kim Jin-ah has been making a fuss with you time and time again."
You know perfectly well that Li Yanzhen likes you, yet you still allow her to get close to you time and time again. You also know that Fang Zhixia likes you, and you even considered her when you wanted to start a relationship again.
So have you considered that after getting together with President Fang, you could distance yourself from Li Yanzhen by a little, just enough to stay within safe boundaries?
Kwon Ji-yong had never thought about the question that Kang Ya-rin asked. In his view, Lee Yeon-jin was just a junior who liked him but he didn't like her. This junior was very talented and capable, and because of her talent, he couldn't bear to see her being buried, so he kept teaching her.
However, Kim Jin-ah made a very good point at the time: since he was a YG trainee, he naturally had teachers to help him with his training. Why was he always being asked to do this?
He didn't take it to heart at the time, but now that Kang Ah-rin has brought it up again, Kwon Ji-yong feels that he can't pretend that nothing happened.
Jin Zhen'er: I'm really impressed by you, you sixth brother!
"Yeonjin has already debuted, and 2NE1 probably has a lot of schedules, so she doesn't have much time to ask me questions. Besides, now that she's debuted as a female idol, she naturally has to be more careful and won't act like she did before."
Listen to this, listen to this, isn't this just admitting that you didn't know your place before?
However, she was neither Fang Zhixia's best friend nor someone who secretly admired Quan Zhilong. She left the topic at that; it was good enough that he noticed. She didn't want to have to deal with news about him dating and being ambiguous with other girls one night.
"Alright, you can handle this by having someone else around you, but as for dating President Fang, I think you should still think about it."
"Consider? Consider what?"
Lee Soo-hyuk heard Kang Ah-rin's words as soon as he opened the door, and his alarm bells immediately went off. He calmly sat down between the two of them, carrying his things, and even nudged Kwon Ji-yong with his butt when he sat down.
"It's nothing. He just wants to start a new relationship. I just advised him to think it through."
"He's dating? With whom? Did he confess? Jiyong, I have to say, your initiative is still lacking."
