Chapter 83 Marching Announcement Board
On his first visit, Kim Min-jun was filled with trepidation. Although Kwon Da-mi reassured him that her family was easy to get along with, he had always imagined that his girlfriend's family would be the hip-hop type, especially Kwon Ji-yong. He even consulted an experienced friend on how to get along with his brother-in-law.
However, after getting to know them, Kwon Da-mi's family actively expressed their acceptance. Kwon's mother carefully prepared his favorite dishes, Kwon's father spoke with a touch of humor, and Kwon Ji-yong was not the cool and aloof type at all. He kept the atmosphere lively at the dinner table and was humble and gentle.
Moreover... Kim Min-jun's gaze unconsciously swept across the area diagonally in front of him.
Even though Kwon Da-mi had given prior notice, when Kim Min-jun saw Han Yoon-sung sitting next to Kwon Ji-yong, he still couldn't help but sigh. The two had completely in sync, and their interactions naturally revealed their intimacy. He didn't know how others viewed their relationship, but he himself felt that the two were a perfect match.
Kim Min-jun relaxed, and the person next to him gave him a look that said, "See? I told you there was no need to be nervous."
He curled the corners of his mouth into a gentle smile, and one hand naturally fell to his side as he held Kwon Da-mi's hand.
Han Yoon-sung noticed their actions and whispered to Kwon Ji-yong, "Unnie looks so sweet."
Kwon Ji-yong: "Babe, don't look up, Noona is looking this way."
Kwon Da-mi cleared her throat, looking somewhat unnatural with a slight blush on her face. She tried to pull her hand away, but Kim Min-jun held it tightly.
She simply gave up, since everyone present was her closest family. Kwon Da-mi said helplessly, "Let go, you're all sweaty."
Kim Min-jun hurriedly pulled out a tissue and carefully wiped Kwon Da-mi's hands.
While the younger generation chatted, Kwon's parents observed quietly. Seeing the happiness shining in their daughter's eyes, they felt a softening of their hearts, and their conversation with Kim Min-jun became even more heartfelt.
As they chatted, Mr. and Mrs. Kwon pulled Kim Min-jun aside for a few drinks. Soon, the alcohol took effect, and they patted Kim Min-jun's hand, saying, "You don't need to stay with us anymore. Go play with the kids."
Watching Mr. and Mrs. Kwon return to their room, Kim Min-jun asked with some concern, "Should we prepare some hangover soup for Uncle and Aunt?"
Kwon Dal-mi stopped Kim Min-jun, who was about to rush to the kitchen, and shook her head with a smile: "When they get serious, Dad and Mom can drink all four of us under the table. They just want you to feel more comfortable."
"Oh, is that so?" Kim Min-jun scratched his head and slowly sat down. "But I feel very comfortable when my uncle and aunt are around."
Kwon Dami glanced at Kim Minjun: You're quite the smooth talker.
She raised the corner of her eye: "Should I call them back again?"
Upon hearing this, Kim Min-jun tilted his head to Kwon Da-mi's arm and pretended to be dead.
The pink-bubble-filled atmosphere made Kwon Ji-yong's teeth itch with envy.
Perhaps remembering that there were two other people beside him, Kim Min-jun straightened up and counted out a few bills from his wallet.
"Zhilong, Yunxing, nice to meet you. I don't know what you like. Here's some pocket money. Buy whatever you like."
After handing the money to the two men, he nervously rubbed his hands together. His wish was to give his brother-in-law some pocket money, but he was really troubled about how much to give, since the name Kwon Ji-yong exuded wealth no matter how you looked at it.
Kwon Ji-yong: I never expected to receive pocket money at my age.
Kwon Ji-yong covered his face with his hand, suppressing the smile in his eyes, and then respectfully accepted the pocket money with both hands: "Thank you, brother-in-law, we will use it well."
Kim Min-jun was stunned by the words "brother-in-law" and returned to Kwon Dal-mi's side in a daze: "Dal-mi, my brother-in-law called me brother-in-law, he called me brother-in-law."
Kwon Dami gave a perfunctory "hmm" twice, and seeing that Kim Minjun was about to continue, she stopped him: "Kama Yisou! Be a good boy and watch the variety show with us."
Today is the day the first episode of "Begin Again" airs. Kwon Ji-yong is taking a rare day off, and the group doesn't plan to go out. They just want to rest at home. Kwon Da-mi turns on the TV and tunes to the JTBC channel.
The program was showing Begin Us' first rehearsal, and the awkwardness of the band's first collaboration was broken by the music.
This was the first time Han Yoon-sung had seen the finished product. "Begin Again" was backed by JTBC. Although it was an experimental music variety show, it received a lot of funding, which greatly ensured the quality of the sound in terms of instruments and recording.
At that moment, Lee So-ra's ethereal and soothing voice drifted over. Han Yoon-sung squinted in enjoyment, tilted his head, and chatted with the person next to him: "Soo-ra unnie's voice is amazing. Every time I hear it, I want to write a song for her."
Kwon Ji-yong liked the brighter look in her eyes when she talked about music, and he also liked the occasional exclamations of surprise when she shared her thoughts in a low voice. The two of them grew closer and closer.
As the melody of "I Am a Butterfly" played, Kwon Ji-yong suddenly felt a weight on his chest. He looked down and saw Han Yoon-sung sleeping soundly in front of him, clutching a small piece of her sleeve in her hand, her breathing even.
Noticing the commotion, Kwon Da-mi reached out and turned down the TV volume, speaking silently: "Is Yoon-sung asleep?"
Kwon Ji-yong smiled and nodded, his amber eyes filled with gentle light. He carefully tucked Han Yoon-sung's stray hair behind her ear, then stood up, picked her up, and whispered goodbye to Kwon Dami and Han Yoon-sung: "Noona, brother-in-law, we'll head home now. See you next time."
Han Yunxing had no scheduled activities during this period and spent most of her time in the production studio. The consequence of using her brain too much was extreme sleepiness; when she was woken up by her alarm clock, she realized that she had slept for 12 hours.
She squinted, still sleepy, and after turning off the alarm clock, she buried her face in the pillow and curled up back in bed to sleep.
At that moment, the bedroom door opened, and there was a rustling sound behind Han Yunxing. Quan Zhilong tightened his arms, put his arm around her waist, and pulled her into his embrace.
Han Yunxing felt a bit hot and dry in the autumn. She curled up and writhed on the bed like a caterpillar, trying to escape the sweltering heat behind her.
A kiss landed on her neck, and Han Yunxing shuddered. In her dazed state, she grabbed the person's fidgeting hand, their fingers intertwined, and she mumbled, "Sleepy."
"Who asked me to wake her up yesterday?" Kwon Ji-yong raised an eyebrow and chuckled softly.
"It wasn't me." She turned around and hugged Kwon Ji-yong, preventing him from moving.
Kwon Ji-yong was pushed down onto the bed, letting the person on top of him grope his face like a puppy.
Han Yunxing's hands were getting tired, so she pressed her face against the glass and rubbed it, too lazy to open her eyes.
Kwon Ji-yong propped his head up and let her be affectionate, his eyes filled with smiles.
Han Yunxing was finally woken up by being scratched. When Kwon Jiyong saw her aggrieved and accusing eyes, he laughed in exasperation and nuzzled her face with his head.
Han Yunxing dodged Kwon Ji-yong's stubble attack, laughing until she was too weak to continue, and collapsed against him.
Now, Han Yunxing was truly awake. She got up and pulled Quan Zhilong up with her.
She got up early because Kwon Ji-yong only had two days of leave. This leave was specifically for Kim Min-jun's meeting gift, and he was going back to his unit this afternoon.
There were no plans to go out, but Han Yoon-sung just wanted to spend more time with Kwon Ji-yong while she was still sober.

Since its broadcast, "Begin Again" has received increasingly positive feedback. It was initially thought that experimental music variety shows, especially slow-paced ones, would not be well-received by the market, but "Begin Again" is healing with a touch of humor, which particularly touches the hearts of the audience. After the second episode aired, the ratings skyrocketed.
Industry insiders have predicted that if "Begin Again" can maintain the same level of quality in the later episodes, it will definitely have a place in next year's variety show awards nominations.
As the video clip's views surged on Instagram, and industry rumors began to circulate that Han Yoon-sung would be singing the theme song for a Disney movie in development, fans reacted as if it were New Year's Day. With the variety show airing, online forums were flooded with comments.
—Everything is predestined, who dares to mock our Lyra now?
—Yunxing is a Word of Power with an excessively boomerang-like quality; she claims to be Aladdin's lamp, and now she's actually going to sing the Aladdin theme song! lol
—Thinking about some of these kinds of men makes me laugh. Sorry, but Haite beer is selling better and better. Our Yunxing is a total smooth talker!
—The baby is resting well, and the interaction with the older folks is so heartwarming~
—Sleeveless Star!!! We will always support you. I have such a handsome husband singing to me in front of my bed.
—Friend, wake up! She's comforting me now because of what you said.
—So it turns out there was a collaboration between their Instagram interactions and the blonde guy's! Looking forward to it!
When will KKK, the Golden Retriever, release his song? I'm begging for a live demo!

In late October, following the release of the behind-the-scenes story, "Lose Control" was released, debuting at number 42 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart with its addictive melody and rich emotion, and also reaching the top three on music charts in several European countries.
#lose control b list hot100# #Han Yunxing lose control# Multiple related entries are trending on Naver.
During this period, the song "Lose Control" has been playing on the streets of South Korea. This song, which blends folk narrative with pop style, has started to get out of control, just like its title suggests. Its popularity has continued to rise, ranking in the top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100 for several consecutive weeks, and the album has also entered the Billboard 200.
Phone calls to Shin Lina poured in like snowflakes, as many entertainment companies wanted to capitalize on her popularity and commission songs from Han Yoon-sung. Even when Han Yoon-sung returned to school, the professors invited her to share her experiences.
Han Yunxing knew that the high level of attention was temporary, and she didn't let the exaggerated praise on Naver cloud her judgment. She carefully selected the invitations she had and continued her work and life at her usual pace. Sure enough, the attention brought by the producer was limited. After a while, reporters still preferred to write about Han Yunxing's social life, fashion, and whereabouts.
