Chapter 11 The Bitterness of Love! 8/21
Kwon Ji-yong looked at the notebook filled with writing and sighed unconsciously, completely at a loss for where to begin.
Kwon Ji-yong tossed the pen aside, making a crisp sound.
Catching up seems very difficult.
Kwon Ji-yong felt himself, but giving up seemed very painful.
His fingers unconsciously reached for the cigarette pack on the table, and he casually pulled out a cigarette, lighting it rather roughly, the flame reflecting the irritation on his face.
He took a deep drag of his cigarette, exhaled a smoke ring, and watched the smoke slowly rise and dissipate in the air.
As the smoke cleared, Kwon Ji-yong gradually calmed down.
Kwon Ji-yong extinguished his cigarette and picked up his pen again.
Out of respect for Dacheng, she only maintained a polite distance from him.
After all, An Rufeng wouldn't just be indifferent to people who weren't interested in her but kept greeting her; she would turn on them.
Kwon Ji-yong's pen glided across the paper, and soon the notebook pages were filled with dense writing.
The above content concerns the taboos and preferences of Anjou style.
These are all things that Kwon Ji-yong has observed and noticed during his interactions with An Joo-pung these past few days.
Although I can't get close to her and cater to her preferences yet, I must at least make sure she doesn't dislike me.
Having made up his mind and made a detailed plan, Kwon Ji-yong seemed relieved and felt a sense of joy.
In the morning, Kwon Ji-yong is usually the last to get into the van. The team members who are already in the van watch him walk in with a relaxed gait and a radiant appearance, and they immediately sense that he is different from yesterday.
The members exchanged glances, filled with doubt. They had been listless before going to bed the night before, how could they have changed so much overnight?
"Good morning, everyone." Kwon Ji-yong greeted everyone in a good mood as soon as he got into the car, his voice light and cheerful.
The members responded one after another, their faces beaming with smiles.
Regardless of the reason, Ji-yong's improved mood is a good thing for them.
After all, as the captain, Ji-yong's emotional state is very important to his teammates.
Although Ji-yong is usually serious and dedicated to his work, he becomes even stricter when he's in a bad mood, and it's the team members who suffer the most.
Of course, most importantly, Ji-ryong is someone close to them, and his bad mood is always a cause for concern.
"Zhilong, you seem to be in a good mood today. Is there some good news?" his accompanying manager asked curiously.
You know, when it comes to early morning schedules, Ji-yong is usually not in the mood to talk in the car and usually just silently catches up on sleep. When has he ever been in such a lively and cheerful mood?
Kwon Ji-yong smiled but didn't answer directly. Instead, he asked his manager, "I remember finishing my morning schedule, and the next schedule is quite a while away?"
The agent nodded upon hearing this.
The agent didn't seem to care about not getting a direct answer; he actually knew the reason.
Judging from this guy's expression and the joy radiating from him, it's definitely not because he wrote a satisfying song; he must have fallen in love again.
He remained calm about it; he couldn't control his friend's dating life.
"There shouldn't be any unexpected schedules in between, right?" Kwon Ji-yong asked again.
"Barring any unforeseen circumstances, no." The agent didn't rule it out definitively, but usually, no.
Upon receiving an affirmative answer, Kwon Ji-yong turned to Daesung and said with a smile, "Daesung, let's go eat sushi together for lunch."
Upon hearing this, Da Cheng's face fell, and he asked, "Is it the place you usually go to, brother?"
Kwon Ji-yong nodded.
"Okay, bro."
Da Cheng readily agreed on the surface, but silently shed tears in his heart.
Why him? Compared to the maknae (youngest member), he's a well-behaved and obedient younger brother. Why did G-Dragon (the hyung) torment him instead of the maknae?
Could it be because Miss An treats him and Brother Zhilong differently?
Okay, he understands.
During a break from work, the other three members expressed their sympathy and offered comfort to Da Cheng.
They thought the same as Dae-sung: that Dae-sung was dragged to eat sushi with Kwon Ji-yong because Miss An was so enthusiastic towards him.
They didn't stop Kwon Ji-yong from doing what he did. After all, it was really heartbreaking and infuriating that the person they liked was cold to them but warm to those around them.
It's just sushi, nothing special.
kk, anyway, Jiyong didn't take them to eat sushi together.
However, after Kwon Ji-yong and Daesung explained some things, they changed their minds and offered to go to the sushi restaurant together.
They said that Ji-yong always goes to that sushi restaurant and never gets tired of eating there. It turns out that Miss An likes to go there!
After hearing what Zhilong had to say about Dacheng, he realized he had figured things out and started pursuing Miss An.
The opportunity to witness Long pursuing Miss An is a rare one, and they can't miss out on such a spectacle.
However, the members were speechless at Kwon Ji-yong's behavior. They were giving him advice and advising him to actively pursue Miss Ahn.
Well, you've been running into her at the sushi restaurant every day, and you still say you haven't made any moves?
And that sushi!
So, without their knowledge, they had already suffered greatly from Kwon Ji-yong's love!
So, after finishing their schedule in the morning, the members returned to their dorm, changed into their work-appropriate makeup and styling, and planned to go to a sushi restaurant together.
Kwon Ji-yong carefully put together an outfit for himself.
When he finished getting ready and came out, his teammates were already waiting for him in the living room.
His teammates were surprised when they saw his outfit: "Zhilong, this isn't like you at all!"
This is completely different from his usual strong and flamboyant style!
Kwon Ji-yong raised an eyebrow and asked his teammates, "How does it look?"
A teammate praised, "It looks pretty good."
My teammate wasn't just saying that to appease me.
Although his attire is different from his usual style, he still looks very much like Kwon Ji-yong.
After all, he has his own unique charisma, and even if the clothes are not specially designed, Kwon Ji-yong can still wear them in his own style.
Today, Kwon Ji-yong's outfit was both casual and stylish, with every detail revealing his unique taste, and he still looked very charming.
“Ani,” Kwon Ji-yong shook his head, “I’m asking about the impression he gives off, his aura!”
Taiyang stroked his chin and looked him over before speaking first: "He seems rather gentle?"
The remaining team members looked at it and agreed with what Sun said.
Kwon Ji-yong smiled with satisfaction.
Based on his observations over the past few days, whether it was people she approached or others approaching her, Anru Feng seemed to prefer dealing with people who appeared mature and gentle.
After getting ready, the five of them set off for the sushi restaurant.
They were public figures, and it was broad daylight; a group of five would be too conspicuous, so they split into two groups.
Originally, Kwon Ji-yong and Daesung were supposed to be a pair, but the maknae (youngest member) insisted on being together, so it became a trio.
Kwon Ji-yong led Daesung and the maknae into the sushi restaurant.
Kwon Ji-yong didn't need to look for her; he easily spotted An Joo-bong, who was still sitting in her usual spot.
As usual, he walked up to her and greeted her.
"Good afternoon, Miss An."
Hearing the familiar voice, An Rufeng knew who it was without even looking. She looked away from the menu as she replied, "Captain, good afternoon."
The maknae (youngest member) had heard her older brothers mention Anru Feng for a long time, and today she finally met her. Seeing her beauty, she was amazed.
He couldn't help but sigh, no wonder Brother Zhilong was so fond of Miss An and so conflicted about her.
The maknae secretly complained, "Seriously, for such a beautiful woman, Jiyong hyung still has to think for so long before pursuing her. How pretentious!"
An Rufeng looked up and realized there were two other people beside him.
They were all wearing sunglasses and masks, so Anru Feng didn't know who they were.
"Good afternoon, Miss An," Da Cheng greeted her.
An Rufeng recognized Da Cheng's voice very well, and her bright eyes flashed with surprise: "Jiang Da Cheng, you eat here too!"
Seeing that she was alone, Da Cheng smiled and invited, "Yes, you're alone? Why don't you eat with us?"
If she were alone, Anru Feng would definitely agree to the invitation from Dacheng.
Although she is alone now, her meal buddy is just arriving a little later.
An Rufeng said honestly, "My friend is coming later, so it might be inconvenient for you to eat by yourselves." Then she smiled and added, "We can eat together next time."
If Oshiro also likes the food at this sushi restaurant, that would be even better.
When Anru Feng and Da Cheng said they would eat together next time, Quan Zhilong noticed her expression. Judging from her generous and frank manner, she was probably not just being polite.
Upon realizing this, Kwon Ji-yong felt relieved, and a bright smile unconsciously appeared on his face.
He wasn't expecting any progress today; he just wanted to see if the card of the Great City could be used.
This card seems to have been very useful.
After hearing An Rufeng's words, the maknae decided to give his brother Jiyong a boost and said with a smile, "You can invite your friends along, the more the merrier."
Upon hearing this, An Rufeng frowned almost imperceptibly. She and her dining companion were not yet very close, nor was she very close to Dacheng. She would have to take care of both of them at the same time, which would be exhausting!
An Rufeng politely declined, saying, "My friend will be arriving later, so I won't keep you any longer."
"fine……"
The maknae wanted to persuade her again, but Kwon Ji-yong, knowing An Yeo-poong's personality, stopped her from doing something reckless: "Hey, maknae, Miss An's friend hasn't arrived yet. Don't make it difficult for Miss An to make a decision for her friend."
That reckless maknae, I'm definitely not taking him with me next time!
Upon receiving his brother's message, the youngest member immediately shut up and stopped mentioning their time together.
Seeing that Kwon Ji-yong stopped the maknae from continuing to invite her out, An Ru-feng relaxed.
She couldn't help but glance at Kwon Ji-yong.
Yes, she is a very sensible person.
Furthermore, he also resolved her predicament.
To be honest, they don't seem like friends anymore, they're practically family. Anru Feng doesn't hold back when she's in their territory.
However, An Rufeng has some concerns about what she can do regarding the people and things around the person she wants to be friends with.
If Kwon Ji-yong hadn't stopped the maknae, An Yeo-feng wouldn't have been able to treat the maknae the same way she treated other people who didn't understand her refusal. Keeping it bottled up inside wasn't exactly painful, but it was still quite frustrating.
Da Cheng and An Rufeng talked for a while longer before parting ways.
Not long after, Tapu and Taiyang also arrived at the sushi restaurant.
When they saw Kwon Ji-yong and the other two, there were three of them. An Ru-feng was sitting alone, not with them.
Tap and Taeyang no longer sat at a separate table, but sat with Kwon Ji-yong and the others.
As soon as Tapu sat down, he couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "Is the big city useless?"
"Brother!" The way he used the word "brother"—was he just a tool?! Da Cheng was both amused and exasperated.
He's Zhilong's love bodyguard, okay!
Kwon Ji-yong said calmly, "Oh, she has someone with her. Her friend will be here later."
Tap understood. If Miss Ann could be alone with a friend, she definitely wouldn't be with a bunch of unfamiliar people.
During the meal, apart from Kwon Ji-yong finishing his sushi, the other four only managed to fill their stomachs before stopping.
Seeing that Kwon Ji-yong finished his sushi with apparent ease, the four of them couldn't help but express their admiration.
Indeed, the power of love is great!
After returning home, the three maknaes, Tapu, Taeyang, and Yang, said they would never go to a sushi restaurant again, even if it was crowded or noisy.
They planned to inquire about Kwon Ji-yong's love life from Dae-seong, who was unable to escape the clutches of sushi.
In any case, Da Cheng had a heavy burden on his shoulders in the days that followed.
In pursuing Anru Feng, Dae-sung was entrusted with high hopes by Kwon Ji-yong, and in Kwon Ji-yong's pursuit of Anru Feng, he was entrusted with high hopes by Tap and the other two.
