"Is EXO coming today?"
"Of course I'll come. This was something we planned a long time ago. Are you going to stop coming after winning an award? Didn't you see that I went back home yesterday?"
In a corner of the lounge, several members of the boy group SEVENTEEN were gathered together. They were originally talking about other things, but after vaguely hearing what the groups next to them were discussing, they couldn't help but turn the topic to EXO, which has been very popular in recent days.
But compared to those girl group idols who are full of expectations and curiosity, these boy group members naturally don’t have as many positive emotions.
Fu Shengkuan looked up and glanced at the Dharma image at the door: "Didn't you see the news online yesterday? Today's Dream Concert is the first stage after EXO won the award. The fans are crazy and have been clamoring for more seats... They are definitely coming."
"..."
After a moment of silence, Wen Junhui could not help but exclaim: "BBMA is really amazing."
"XO had so many things happen to him this year, including love and recording. He was about to fail, but then he suddenly won two BBMAs. It's really..."
Choi Seung-cheol on the side said in a low voice with some dissatisfaction, his tone did not hide his regret and dissatisfaction.
The music industry is so small. As a boy band and idols, everyone is a competitor. When they see each other so popular, they will of course have a lot of thoughts in their minds. Especially when the relationship is average, it is impossible for them to wish each other well.
Although on the surface they certainly appear to be having a good time, in private it is the complete opposite and jealousy takes over.
Not only are they rivals at work, but also in private... Choi Seung-chul particularly dislikes a certain member of EXO because a certain female idol he was trying to pursue seemed to have an unclear relationship with that member and completely ignored him.
"Hey, brother, are you crazy? How dare you say such things in a place like this?" Li Zhixun interrupted him as soon as he heard it and looked around vigilantly.
It's fine to say these things in private, after all, everyone has similar thoughts in their minds, but isn't it insane to say them in public?
If this gets out, will EXO be easy to mess with?
"..."
The others also realized this problem, and the atmosphere was silent for a few seconds. Seeing that there was nothing serious, Kim Min-kyu smiled awkwardly and broke the silence: "But I heard from the agent Jae-hyung that there seems to be no news of EXO's return in the near future, so..."
…………
"...You must not be a coward!"
On the other side, in Twice's position, Hirai Momo was pulling Mingjing Nan and instigating her nonstop: "Mina, let me tell you, today is your first meeting with him after parting! When a man and a woman meet for the first time after breaking up, you must show that you are better and happier than the other person, so that the other person will regret it!"
"Don't be timid, act cool and let him see that you are living a good life! This is a war." Momo Hirai spoke in Japanese, waving her fist from time to time, like a soldier blowing a charge.
It has been a month or two since Minami Nagata and Ji Kyung-won broke up in April. Since EXO went to Japan for activities not long after, they had no interaction at work and the two have never met each other since.
Today's dream concert is the first time the two meet again after their breakup.
"I'm telling you..."
Hirai Momo wanted to continue talking, but when she saw Mingjing Nan, who was in a daze and looked like she hadn't listened at all, she immediately became angry: "Hey, Mina, are you listening?"
"..."
Feeling that Momo Hirai was getting a little impatient, Nan Mingjing came to his senses and smiled at her apologetically, but did not agree with her.
What's the point of being cowardly or not.
There is no need to pretend to be happy. She knows best how she is living and what kind of situation she is in. Doesn't Chi Jingyuan know that?
Given their involvement and understanding, some things can be seen at a glance.
She felt that instead of pretending to be free and easy, it would be better to pay attention to the moment when his eyes met hers, and whether there was any moment of hesitation.
As he thought about it, Mingjing Nan's eyes gradually lost focus.
Although she did not agree with Momo Hirai's idea, she felt extremely complicated when she thought about meeting Gen-chan again after such a long time of breaking up, and she couldn't help but have some inexplicable thoughts and expectations.
Time may wash away some of the initially swelling emotions, such as confusion and anger, but other emotions are like fine wine, which continue to settle and linger in the heart over time, such as sorrow and sincere love.
Minatozaki Sana, who was sitting next to them and playing with her phone, had been listening to the conversation between the two. When she heard Hirai Momo instigating for a long time, she couldn't help but look up and glanced at her helplessly.
She had figured out that Momo Hirai was the typical example of a person who looked strong on the outside but was actually weak on the inside. She was very tough behind the scenes and said a lot of things, but she became timid the moment she met him.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but look to the other side, where Lin Nayeon, who had gone out for something, had just sat.
Hirai Momo and the group's leader Lim Nayeon are a perfect match. One is strong on the outside but weak on the inside, while the other is fierce on the outside but weak on the inside.
However, she had mixed emotions when she thought about meeting Chi Jingyuan today... Ever since the verbal conflict in the gym last time, they had not been in touch since then, and the relationship that had just gotten better seemed to have been interrupted.
Her busy schedule and limited time had left her no time to think about these things before, making her think that they no longer mattered to her... but now, they all came to her mind at once and out of control.
"Yeah, I'm serious."
Seeing Mingjing Nan's expression, she knew that she didn't take it seriously. Hirai Momo came up with another bad idea: "No, I have another trick. Isn't that guy pursuing you recently? Just get closer to him in front of Chi Jingyuan. It will definitely work... and I think he is a good guy."
"..."
Hearing this, Mingjing Nan turned to look at her, blinked, and asked with innocent curiosity, "Is Heechul-san okay?"
"Fuck! Let's not mention him, okay?"
Mingjing Nan's gentle question instantly broke down Hirai Momo's defense. She pushed the ungrateful and sinister Nan hard and ignored him out of spite.
And Nan Mingjing pursed her lips and exchanged glances with Minatozaki Sana who was looking over from the side, with a smile of success in her eyes.
"..."
At this moment, there was a noise outside. As the sound got closer, the half-closed door of the lounge was opened, and several figures walked in one after another in a line.
Excluding the men in front who were obviously agents and assistants, the originally hot and noisy atmosphere in the lounge suddenly stagnated when they saw the familiar face of Park Chanyeol in the crowd.
EXO is coming?
In an instant, dozens of idols and artists who had already arrived nearby all looked over unconsciously.
Although many people have met them privately many times before, and quite a few are good friends with EXO, but in the past two days, there has been so much news about EXO, with awards won at BBMA and other "milestones", all kinds of bragging have simply blown them up to the sky.
Moreover, it has been almost a month since EXO went on overseas activities. Even for those who are very familiar with them, it feels like a lifetime ago when they see them at this time.
This is even more true for those who are not familiar with them, especially those less well-known idols with a lower generation and new debut. When they watch this TOP boy band, they feel as if they are surrounded by a halo.
"Senior Aniha Saiyo~"
"Aniha Saiyo~"
After the previous generation of idols has gradually come to an end and entered the fourth generation of groups, EXO, which debuted in 12, has become a senior. As soon as they came in, many boy and girl groups around them stood up and saluted them.
Several members of Twice, including Naoki Minami, stood up and saluted, while staring closely at the EXO queue at the gate, their hearts beating uncontrollably.
Yes, have you seen him?
...D.O., Byun Baekhyun, Oh Sehun, and other members of EXO came in one by one from outside, wearing casual clothes, and after walking around, they all looked very special.
But... when Wu Sehun walked in and there was no one left behind him, Ming Jingnan and the others were stunned for a moment and turned back to count.
Hey, why are there only 8 people here? Why don’t I see Chi Jingyuan?
Mingjing Nan felt as if her emotions were suspended in mid-air. She followed EXO with her eyes and watched them walk to their place. Several idols from SM immediately surrounded them.
"Oppa~"
Today, several groups from SM came, including SHinee, Red Velvet, and NCT. When they saw EXO, they immediately went up to greet them with a smile. After greeting them, Jiang Seulgi looked around and asked Wu Sehun curiously, "Why don't I see Jingyuan?"
"My agent called me over for something. I'll be here soon." Wu Sehun had no idea what the female idols were thinking in the distance, so he replied casually.
"Oh~"
Upon hearing this, Kang Seul-ki glanced at Bae Joo-hyun next to her, responded without paying any attention, and sat down next to her and started chatting with Oh Se-hun.
…………
"Brother, I understand..."
Chi Jingyuan said goodbye to his agent and walked into the backstage alone with his bag on his back.
He was originally going to the lounge with the members, but when he was getting off the car, his agent stopped him and talked about the arrangements of his personal resources. In addition to some personal schedules, the main thing was that after winning the award, GUCCI had an advertisement about global spokesperson that required him to reshoot.
Compared to EXO's surge in popularity, Chi Jingyuan actually reaped a lot of personal benefits.
The annual Dream Concert is held at the Seoul World Cup Stadium. Chi Jingyuan has participated in it many times and is very familiar with the backstage. He walked quickly towards the lounge with ease. In the middle, he met many staff and idols coming and going and greeting him.
Chi Jingyuan felt weird about the way some of the idols, especially the female ones, looked at him.
"Ah~"
Just when Chi Jingyuan walked to a corner, a figure suddenly walked out from the blind spot next to him and almost collided with him. Fortunately, Chi Jingyuan and the man braked at the same time, but the other party still let out a scream, and the voice sounded familiar.
"Miahnada~"
The man was about to apologize, but when he looked up, he saw Chi Jingyuan's face. He was about to bow but stopped there. He looked at Chi Jingyuan in surprise and said, "Jing... Oppa?"
The tone was quite unexpected, but also a little upbeat as if in surprise.
"..."
The moment he heard the voice, Chi Jingyuan actually recognized who it was. His eyes moved from the other person's pink hair to Lin Nayeon's face.
Lin Nayeon was dressed in casual private clothes. The hem of her pure white short-sleeved shirt was slightly tightened to reveal her waistline. Her aqua-colored jeans outlined her figure. The trouser legs were deliberately rolled up three times to reveal her fair and slender ankles. She was wearing a pair of delicate sneakers.
The earrings on the earlobes under her long pink hair reflected the light, her eyes were wide open on her surprised face, and the pair of rabbit teeth between her grinning red lips were very conspicuous.
A faint fragrance wafted over. Chi Jingyuan didn't expect to see Lin Nayeon here. Seeing her anxious look, he smiled and greeted her: "Why are you in such a hurry?"
"I've been out for a while, I'm afraid the rehearsal is almost here..."
Lin Nayeon looked at Chi Jingyuan and blinked her sparkling eyes. Although she knew that EXO would come today, she was also very surprised that the protagonist she had been discussing for the past few days suddenly appeared in front of her. She asked with a stuttering voice, "Oppa, you are back?"
As soon as she asked the question, she couldn't help but want to slap herself...she felt a little at a loss.
Hearing such a stupid question, Chi Jingyuan couldn't help but roll his eyes: "Not back yet."
Lin Nayeon felt a little embarrassed when she heard that. She couldn't help but look aside and rolled her eyes lightly while smiling... Although she knew that her question was stupid, she was speechless because Chi Jingyuan was so straightforward and didn't give her face.
The two of them turned their heads and rolled their eyes at the same time, showing great tacit understanding.
But then, Lin Nayeon naturally walked to Chi Jingyuan's side, and walked towards the practice room side by side.
Because they hadn't seen each other for a long time, the atmosphere was a little awkward as they walked a few steps. Chi Jingyuan looked at Lin Nayeon, who was alone next to him, and asked curiously:
"Why are you the only one here?"
"Why is Oppa alone?"
Unexpectedly, after seeing that there were no EXO members around, Lin Nayeon also asked the same question. The two of them spoke at the same time, looked at each other, and were stunned when they heard each other's questions.
"Um, my agent asked me to do something." Lin Nayeon reacted and explained in a low voice.
"What a coincidence?"
Hearing her words, Chi Jingyuan couldn't help but laugh: "My agent also asked me to do something."
He couldn't help but look over and exchanged a glance with Lin Nayeon. Suddenly, he felt it was very interesting and the atmosphere became a lot more relaxed.
Lin Nayeon held back her laughter, took two steps, and then spoke again, very formally, "By the way, I haven't congratulated Oppa and XO for winning the BBMAs yet. The media has been reporting on it these past two days. It's really impressive."
"Didn't you text me?"
Chi Jingyuan responded first, and then looked at her with a slightly strange look. He always felt that it was strange for Lin Nayeon to speak in such a serious tone.
After glancing at each other for a while, Chi Jingyuan nodded: "Thank you... but I feel like you don't seem that happy, I thought..."
"How is that possible? Oppa, please don't slander me!"
When Lin Nayeon heard this, she was a little bit boastful at first, but then she raised her head and shouted in dissatisfaction: "We were watching the live broadcast to see Oppa win the award. He mentioned it specifically when we were filming TTT the day before yesterday, and congratulated the seniors of XO. If you don't believe me, you can go and watch it when it's broadcasted."
"Oppa, you know we don't have Instagram right now. The company doesn't allow us to use it... But I have a secondary account, and I'm following you."
"What did you think, Oppa? Did you think I would say something bad? That's too much. How could Oppa be like this as soon as we met..."
As if Chi Jingyuan had touched upon something in her heart, Lin Nayeon kept chattering beside her, from watching the live broadcast to yesterday. While she was talking, she unknowingly walked to the door of the lounge. Before she could finish, Chi Jingyuan in front of her suddenly stopped.
In Lin Nayeon's sight, Chi Jingyuan turned his head and looked him up and down, his eyes looked around her head, and finally stopped at her face. As they looked at each other, he pursed his lips and nodded at her:
"Your hair looks nice."
After saying that, he turned and walked in.
