Chapter 9, An Encounter
To be honest, Han Yunxing's social circle is not very large. She is not very familiar with most people in the company. She is only close to the people in her dormitory. Even the people in the A class practice room are only to the extent of greeting each other every day.
But this doesn't mean Han Yunxing is unpopular. There are still many people in the company who want to become close to her, not to mention the male trainees in Class A who intentionally or unintentionally pass by.
However, Han Yunxing was completely bad at dealing with those little notes stuffed into her pockets, and sometimes she was at a loss. Later, Quan Shaoyan couldn't stand it anymore and told her directly not to pay attention to these people.
Therefore, in the eyes of some covetous people, Han Yunxing was an iron-willed woman.
The members of btob also knew about this stunningly beautiful person who caused a huge sensation as soon as she joined the company, but after all, she was a senior who had debuted, and her schedule was very busy, so she usually didn't go to watch the trainees train.
I was thrilled to have the opportunity to work with Han Yunxing, and I thought to myself, "What a stunning beauty!"
On the surface, he naturally had to maintain the composure of a senior, acting as the older brother who was now done with work. Seeing the little girl standing obediently to the side watching, he pulled Han Yunxing over to chat.
Han Yunxing had never been involved with BTOB before, and these guys completely changed her impression of idol groups. Some of them were really full of energy and were still interacting in a fun way even after work.
"Yunxing, please greet me warmly when we meet in the future!"
Lu Xing was afraid of embarrassing the young girl, so he took the initiative.
Han Yunxing changed out of her performance outfit early and is now wearing a simple white T-shirt. Her hair is tied in a ponytail, and she is tilting her head to listen attentively to her older brothers.
Lu Xingcai is the youngest member, both at home and in the group. Now that he has met Han Yunxing, who is several years younger than him and looks well-behaved, his desire to be the older brother is instantly ignited.
"Yes, Xingcai oppa looks super handsome today!" Han Yunxing gave Lu Xingcai a thumbs up, her eyes sparkling with smiles.
"Oh my, oppas are at the age where they really need to be praised~"
Xu Enguang peeked out from behind Lu Xingcai, leaned lazily against him, and looked at Han Yunxing with a slightly aggrieved expression.
The older members, who had been listening intently to the youngest members talking, couldn't stand still any longer and gathered around the three of them.
"Yunxing-xi, this guy is a bit strange, so don't be surprised." Ren Xuanzhi said to Han Yunxing in a serious tone, but his eyes betrayed him, smiling into two crescent moons.
Xu Enguang turned his head and fired a death beam at him.
"Ani, I was totally captivated by the oppas today, it's so melodramatic~" Han Yoon-sung genuinely felt that the older brothers on set today were all incredibly charming, and the song for their comeback was also amazing.
Lee Minhyuk looked down at Han Yoon-sung's little head bobbing up and down, and couldn't help but reach out and rub it.
Then he successfully received a slightly resentful look from Han Yunxing, as well as strange shouts from his teammates on the side.
"Hey bro! Don't touch the girl's head!"
Lu Xingcai pulled Han Yunxing aside.
Lee Minhyuk couldn't help but chuckle as he watched the two men standing on the same side staring at him with wide eyes.
"We're totally smitten with Yoon-sung too."
Changing the subject, Xu Enguang and the others talked about the random street interviews that had been somewhat popular before.
They had also watched their own trainee's cover video and exclaimed that Han Yunxing sang well and had a particularly great voice.
"We're going to the karaoke room today!"
Everyone agreed with Li Changxie's suggestion that the manager should take Yunxing back to her dormitory at 10 o'clock, as they couldn't let a minor stay up all night.
The agent came over and reminded them that they could go to the restaurant.
The group split into two cars and drove off.
Han Yunxing, Xu Enguang, Lu Xingcai, and Li Minhe rode in one car.
To avoid embarrassing her, Han Yunxing was specially arranged to sit in the passenger seat.
Xu Enguang is driving today.
On the way, Han Yunxing learned what "Bone Love" was.
As the older brothers chatted, the topic veered off course, and they started singing. Lee Minhyuk even provided rap accompaniment on the side.
Music truly knows no boundaries; Han Yunxing was also inspired and joined in the harmonies.
By the time they arrived at the barbecue restaurant, Han Yunxing and the others had already gotten along very well.
Many celebrities have visited this store; the menu is hanging on the wall, and there are many handwritten signatures posted next to it.
There weren't many people tonight. A table was set up in the corner, and a few hungry people eagerly waited for the food to be served.
Soon the restaurant aunt brought the side dishes to the table, and shortly after, the meat and lettuce they ordered also arrived.
You can tell the meat is of very high quality; the color and texture of the Korean beef are superb.
Han Yoon-sung knows about Korea's hierarchical culture, and now it's time for the maknae (youngest member) to have barbecue.
Just as she reached out, Lee Minhyuk, who was sitting next to her, snatched the clip first.
"Yunxing, just wait to eat," Im Hyun-sik said with a smile, looking at Han Yunxing. "I also want to thank Yunxing for participating in the filming today."
The meat becomes tender and juicy under the charcoal grill, and the aroma of the meat on the side plate is mouthwatering.
We were all starving, so we didn't stand on ceremony and everyone reached out to grab some meat. Luckily, there was plenty of meat.
After filling their stomachs a little, the people at the table breathed a sigh of relief and then continued grilling and eating.
The atmosphere on BTOB was great, and they got Han Yunxing, whom they had just gotten to know, into a lively conversation.
"Was Yunxing born in 1998?"
Han Yunxing smiled and nodded, her ponytail swaying slightly.
“Then you can’t drink soju, okay?” Lee Chang-hee shook the bottle, showed it to Han Yoon-sung, and then turned to his teammates to pour them some.
Han Yunxing didn't dare to say that she had secretly drunk it at home, but it would be a bit strange to say this to the older brothers she had just met.
I could only watch helplessly as the bottle of wine was emptied, pouting and letting out a soft hum. I'll be 19 next year, and when I'm an adult I can drink it openly.
In South Korea, age is calculated from birth as 1 year old, and then increases by another year at the start of the new year.
The atmosphere became even more lively after drinking, but the members of BTOB were also very considerate, taking care of Han Yoon-sung who was next to them from time to time.
Han Yunxing has been really into rap lately. Today, when Lee Minhyuk was filming, she showed off her amazing rap skills. Not knowing what to talk about, she started chatting with Lee Minhyuk about her recent struggles with her studies.
When Han Yunxing came to her senses, she realized how impolite it was to chat about work and studies with someone she was meeting for the first time at the dinner table; it was a bit of a downer.
Lee Minhyuk waved his hand, saying that chatting with Han Yoon-sung was quite relaxing, and that Han Yoon-sung had an exceptionally high level of comprehension; she could understand things immediately without needing to be explained.
Later, still wanting more, he added Han Yunxing as a friend, saying that they could chat online again sometime in the future.
The other brothers also gathered around and got a friend spot on Han Yunxing's phone.
While Han Yoon-sung was enjoying a great dinner party, Kwon Ji-yong also received a dinner invitation from his friend Lee Joo-hyuk.
When Kwon Ji-yong arrived in the hall, he ignored Lee Joo-hyuk's waving hand and saw a familiar profile in the corner.
Han Yunxing was listening with a smile to the older men at the table talking about the interesting things that happened after their debut when she was startled by a hand patting her from behind.
Hey! Oppa, do you walk without making a sound?
Han Yunxing breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that the person behind her was Kwon Ji-yong, and then glared at him.
Childish ghost.
btob was also startled. Although the person who came had covered his head completely with a hat, his distinctive voice made it immediately recognizable as GD.
"Yunxing, I've been standing behind you for a while now." Kwon Jiyong's sweet, childlike voice hit Han Yunxing, and he muttered in a slightly aggrieved tone.
btob, who wasn't very tipsy to begin with, immediately felt his drunkenness dissipate upon Kwon Ji-yong's arrival and stood up to greet him.
They exchanged glances, and both could see the shock in each other's eyes.
Are Yoon Sung and Kwon Ji Yong that close?
Kwon Ji-yong only came over to say hello; Lee Joo-hyuk was still waiting for him, so he couldn't linger any longer.
After Kwon Ji-yong left, Han Yoon-sung scratched her head sheepishly and said, "Ji-yong oppa and my dear oppa are very close. I've known him since I was little."
“Yunxing…” Xu Enguang looked at her and asked with great curiosity, “Why didn’t you go to YG to become a trainee?”
The others echoed this sentiment with a hint of heartache, explaining that despite their company ties, only makeup artists and talent scouts were actually working at Cube!
Han Yunxing couldn't give a reason, since he couldn't very well say that his family was a shareholder of Cube.
So she made an excuse, saying, "Wei~ Don't you want me to be the oppas' junior sister?"
Seeing Han Yunxing's puffed-up face, the members of BTOB quickly comforted her and stopped the topic.
But Yunxing looked incredibly cute, and they instinctively learned how to tease her. However, that's a story that will only make Han Yunxing sad later.
*
Meanwhile, Lee Joo-hyuk waited for Kwon Ji-yong and also curiously inquired.
"Who did you just greet?"
"You know her too, Yunxing~"
Kwon Ji-yong has been feeling weak lately and has little appetite. If Lee Joo-hyuk hadn't called him out, he would have just eaten something at home.
Now he lazily props his head up with one hand, and pours himself a full glass of sake with the other.
"Then I should go say hello too, it's been a long time since I've seen Yunxing."
Lee Joo-hyuk also knew Han Yoon-sung, since she was practically Kwon Ji-yong's younger sister. He would sometimes see her at parties, but they weren't very close.
"She's having dinner with her colleagues. You can go over and have a drink with them later."
Kwon Ji-yong picked up a perfectly grilled piece of meat and ate it slowly and deliberately.
"Huh? Isn't Yoon-sung studying?" Lee Joo-hyuk felt like his memory was playing tricks on him. Could it be that he'd been too busy lately and was starting to forget things?
"This girl went to become a trainee." Kwon Ji-yong proudly showed Lee Joo-hyuk a video on his phone.
Lee Joo-hyuk was a little shocked by Kwon Ji-yong's smug look. How come he didn't know that this guy was a hidden siscon?
However, my hand still honestly took the phone.
"Wow! Yoon-sung is amazing~" Lee Joo-hyuk didn't expect Han Yoon-sung to sing and dance so well. He hadn't seen her clearly from too far away earlier, but now that he saw Han Yoon-sung in the video, he felt that she had grown up and was no longer the little sister he remembered.
Han Yunxing and Lu Xingcai were on their way to the karaoke room to continue their party when they saw Quan Zhilong pulling Li Zhuhe over to say hello.
"Are you leaving?" Kwon Ji-yong asked gently, looking at Han Yoon-sung's face, which was slightly red from the charcoal fire.
Those around them were immediately surprised. They hadn't had much contact with GD, and people from YG Entertainment always gave off an unapproachable vibe. Now, they looked at the exceptionally gentle Kwon Ji-yong with a sense of disillusionment.
"I'm going to the karaoke room with my brothers~" Han Yoon-sung smiled, her eyes shining, and then turned her head to look at Lee Joo-hyuk standing next to her.
"Wow, Joo Hyuk oppa is here too~"
Lee Joo-hyuk also greeted Han Yoon-sung warmly.
Since they were heading to the next place, Kwon Ji-yong didn't chat much and went back to the table with Lee Joo-hyuk.
When Xu Enguang went to pay the bill, she found out that Quan Zhilong had already paid for their table.
