Chapter 77 Exclusive Release...
Although he looked familiar, Jiang Yalin couldn't quite place who the handsome man in front of her was, so she just assumed he was some idol she had seen on TV before.
Jung Yong-hwa, who was treated like an idol, was deeply impressed by Kang Ah-rin. After all, it was the first time he had been approached by a beauty of this caliber. However, after they started talking, she wouldn't message him unless he took the initiative to do so.
Later, he got busy and stopped messaging her, and naturally, they lost contact. He was a little surprised to see her here now. He subconsciously felt that Jiang Yalin might be someone in this industry. As for why he didn't know her before, it was probably because she hadn't become famous yet, so he didn't know she was also an artist.
"It's been a long time since I've seen Jiang Yalin."
When you run into someone you know, you naturally have to say hello. However, his initiative to greet them left the person being greeted somewhat bewildered.
"You...know me?"
With a soft crack, the sound of a young boy's heart breaking.
Jung Yong-hwa truly hadn't expected Kang Ah-rin to forget him; the disappointment he felt in that instant was something he couldn't hide even with his facial expressions.
"I...you don't remember me? You struck up a conversation with me on the streets of Seoul and asked for my contact information."
Good heavens, Jiang Yalin swears, she really didn't mean to forget the boy in front of her. It was because he was the only boy she had ever approached that she suddenly remembered him after his reminder.
What was it called again?
His name seems to be Jung Yong-hwa, right?
Jiang Yalin, who had finally remembered the other person's name, was about to call out his name when the owner of the name intercepted her.
"My name is Jung Yong Hwa, don't forget it this time."
People are just so awkward. If the other person remembered him, he might not have the mindset he has now. He is very upset that Jiang Yalin can't remember him and that he can't even remember his own name. He is determined to make sure that the other person remembers him firmly, so that even if they don't see each other for a long time, they will still remember him.
"...I know your name. I was about to say it if you hadn't told me."
Honestly, why bother introducing yourself by name?!
Now that he's brought it up himself, even if she says his name, there's no way to prove that she remembered it.
"Really? That's so exciting!"
"Are you happy? I don't think you're that happy. On the contrary, I think your fake smile is ugly."
This is an indiscriminate attack. And you know what? After saying that, Jung Yong Hwa really couldn't maintain his polite smile anymore.
She really has a beautiful face, it's a pity she has a mouth and can speak.
What are you doing at the TV station?
After less than half a second of silence, Jiang Yalin, driven by curiosity, completely ignored herself. She had just spoken of a poison that could kill, yet she acted as if nothing had happened. This impressed Zheng Ronghe greatly, and he even considered asking her which teacher she had learned such acting skills from.
"I've come to the TV station for a script reading."
To be honest, there was even a hidden motive of showing off.
"Are you an actor?"
Script readings are very common in South Korea. All TV dramas undergo one or more script readings before filming begins.
"...I guess so."
Jung Yong-hwa couldn't quite explain his current situation. He clearly wanted to debut as a singer, but before he could even debut with the members of his already formed band, he had to debut as an actor in a TV drama. However, he preferred singing to acting, as it was his hobby and his dream.
"So you are? Are you an idol?"
Only this explanation can account for why he gave that answer.
"No, at least not yet... I'm a trainee. If nothing unexpected happens, I'll debut as the lead singer of a band, but I haven't even debuted yet, and I've already received a script."
The lead singer of a band who hasn't even debuted yet received a TV drama script. Is this a case of connections?
"I'm not a nepotism hire; I got the job through an interview. Of course, I was also recommended by someone—a senior colleague in our company."
Jiang Yalin's face was completely betraying her true feelings at this moment, unlike her usual self. So Zheng Ronghe immediately understood what she was thinking.
However, he wasn't angry, because if he weren't the main character in this matter, his first reaction upon hearing it would have been the same.
"Ah, it's a recommendation from a senior colleague. It's so great to have a senior colleague."
Jiang Yalin was just casually praising him, but Zheng Ronghe interpreted it differently. He thought she was envious, envious that he had a good senior while she didn't.
Just as I was about to say something to comfort her, Jiang Yalin suddenly said something.
"The elevator was really something today..."
Turning around, they found the elevator was still standing there. It turned out that after the two of them entered the elevator, neither of them pressed the floor button, so they were still on the first floor after chatting for so long.
Just then, the phone rang, urging Jung Yong-hwa to hurry up, and their conversation came to an end.
Jiang Yalin got off the elevator first, and as soon as the elevator doors opened, she saw Kwon Ji-yong appear in front of the elevator like a ghost.
I know G-Dragon and Jung Yong-hwa, since he's really popular lately, both with BigBang and his solo career.
This person was a senior to him, so Jung Yong-hwa, who was still in the elevator, took the initiative to bow and greet him. Kwon Ji-yong, who was very polite, also bowed and greeted him in return, even though he did not know who the other person was.
"I've arrived, I'll log off now. You can go ahead and get busy too. Contact me if anything comes up."
This is just polite talk. After all, once she enters the adult world, the first thing Jiang Yalin needs to learn is the hypocritical politeness between adults.
Her insincere politeness took on a different meaning in Kwon Ji-yong's eyes. He looked Jung Yong-hwa up and down warily, as if he had caught his wife cheating and had seen the husband of the mistress. This scene made Jung Yong-hwa feel somewhat uncomfortable.
I still feel a little disappointed. So Kang Ah-rin is actually G-Dragon's girlfriend?
"I'll contact you again later."
After saying that, he hurriedly pressed the close button. Even as the elevator doors closed, G-Dragon's gaze remained fixed on him like a thorn. Only when the gaze disappeared as the doors closed did he breathe a sigh of relief.
"Who is he? How did you two meet? What's your relationship with him...?"
"What does this have to do with you?"
What annoyed Jiang Yalin the most was Kwon Ji-yong's questioning, which sounded like he'd caught her cheating. She didn't care whether he felt he'd lost face and just retorted.
But it successfully shut him up, and he looked at her with a hurt expression.
"Don't look at me like that. I'm just someone I know. Besides, who I know is none of your business."
"I was just asking on behalf of Soo-hyuk."
G-Dragon could only manage this kind of answer.
"So, if I'm dating your good bro, I can't have any female friends, right? We're still friends, are you going to cut ties with me?"
After saying this, Jiang Yalin closed her eyes, then slowly opened them again after a while and exhaled softly.
"Just like you have female friends when you're dating, I can also meet female friends when I'm dating. Don't say I'm only dating your friends. Even if I'm dating you, it's just dating, not signing a contract to sell myself, OK?"
"It's my fault, I overreacted."
G-Dragon readily admitted his mistake, and at that moment he was finally able to empathize with Kim Jin-ah's previous insecurity.
Kim Jin-ah: Hehe.....
"And don't be so possessive of my friendships in the future. You have a girlfriend now, so you should be possessive of the right person, and that person is Fang Zhixia."
Jiang Yalin felt that Kwon Ji-yong's approach to relationships was really messy, whether it was because he was unwilling to accept it or because he continued to date Kim Jin-ah even though he had clearly lost interest.
Or the fact that he ignored Jin Zhen'er's attitude and continued to do his own thing even though he was already dating her, and that he liked her but dated Fang Zhixia instead in order to get rid of his feelings for her, all prove that he is actually a scumbag and a confused person when it comes to relationships.
The two returned to the lounge in silence, not mentioning a word about what had just happened. The atmosphere remained silent, which gradually led to a silence throughout the entire team.
When the music show ended and they were leaving the TV station, they ran into the lineup who had just finished their script reading and were preparing to return to the company.
Honestly, with his arrival in such a silent atmosphere, the atmosphere in the elevator could only be described as suffocating. Of course, it was the onlookers who were suffocating, as well as G-Dragon, who was suffocating himself.
As for Jiang Yalin, she didn't really feel anything, and even took the initiative to greet Zheng Ronghe when she saw him.
Since he hasn't debuted yet, his company didn't even send him a van, and his seniors in the same company have other commitments, so now he has to take a taxi himself if he wants to go back.
Upon learning of this, Jiang Yalin didn't offer to drive him home, as they weren't that close yet.
Perhaps it was because she didn't offer to take Jung Yong-hwa back to the company that Kwon Ji-yong's expression improved considerably, and he even seemed somewhat happy. He probably felt that Jung Yong-hwa wasn't that important to Kang Ah-rin, and maybe, as she said, he was just someone she knew.
So he started to regret it in his heart. He should have known better than to be so impulsive. Now, he had made the atmosphere between them stiff again.
He began to ponder how to stop Jiang Yalin from getting angry, but he also felt that Jiang Yalin probably wouldn't like his ideas. Then, he made a bizarre decision that no one could understand—he went to ask his current girlfriend.
