"Yo-bo-se-yo, is this Nayeon-ssi?"
As soon as the call connected, a man's voice came from the other end, and it was obvious that it was Lim Nayeon's phone number. He immediately asked if it was her.
Lin Nayeon hadn't thought much of it when she answered the phone, but when she suddenly heard a very unfamiliar voice, her timid nature made her feel a little uneasy. She worried that the person calling was a bad person or a sasaeng fan.
After Twice became popular, they now have quite a few obsessive fans.
It's unlikely to be a work call; for work-related issues, you should contact her agent, and besides, this is her private number.
"..."
Because she didn't recognize Lim Nayeon, she hesitated to answer. The person on the phone didn't hear her reply and thought it was a bad signal, so they asked again, "Excuse me, is this Nayeon-ssi? Nayeon-ssi from Twice?"
Seeing that Lim Nayeon seemed to be having a problem, Kim Jisoo, who was sitting next to her, immediately came over. She first asked with her eyes, "Who is it?" After seeing Lim Nayeon's expression, she guessed what was going on and gestured to the phone to signal her to turn on speakerphone.
Lim Na-yeon obediently turned on the speakerphone.
"cough~"
When the other person said "Yo-boo-se-yo" for the third time, Lim Na-yeon finally cleared her throat and deliberately avoided talking about who she was, asking, "Um, may I ask who you are?"
"It's Nayeon-ssi! I thought I had dialed the wrong number~"
Although Lim Nayeon did not give a clear reply, the other party immediately relaxed upon hearing her voice, as if they instantly recognized her as Lim Nayeon.
Then, the other party explained in a somewhat familiar tone, "This is Kyung Won's phone number. I'm his assistant, Choi Ji-chang. Before leaving the peninsula, he ordered a birthday gift for you and asked me to give it to you. Because it's quite special, it was just finished. It shouldn't be too late, right? I checked and Nayeon's birthday is the 22nd of this month, right?"
"what?"
Before Nayeon could even speak, Jennie, who was standing next to her, couldn't help but gasp in surprise, looking as if she had misheard.
Are you kidding me? Ji Kyung-won's assistant is going to give Lim Na-yeon a birthday present?
Jisoo's expression was equally interesting. She stared wide-eyed at the phone, then at Nayeon, and realized that the bunny-toothed sisters had the exact same expression as her, clearly also hearing about this for the first time.
Upon hearing this, Lim Nayeon also exclaimed in disbelief, her eyes wide and her mouth agape. She was astonished by what the other person said.
I initially thought it was some kind of obsessive fan, but it turns out it was someone who sent me a gift.
However, she didn't doubt the authenticity at all, not only because the other party spoke with such certainty, but also because she instantly remembered the time when Yu Dingyan helped her 'get a gift'.
She hadn't heard back after calling before, and then Ji Kyung-won went to the US with EXO, so she thought her plans were ruined.
I never expected to be waiting here.
And...customized? Specialized?
Nayeon instantly picked up a few key words in her mind, and her slightly down mood instantly lifted. Her front teeth flashed as she suppressed her excitement and asked into the phone, "Oppa... are you Jichang oppa? Perhaps we've met before?"
"Of course, we've seen many of them backstage."
"I knew it! Oppa's voice sounded so familiar." Lim Nayeon shamelessly made a connection, then asked the key question with a slight tremor: "You mean Kyungwon Oppa has a gift for me?"
"Yes, this is a birthday gift specially prepared for you."
After responding, Cui Zhichang asked, "Is Nayeon free right now? I'll give it to you now, is that a suitable time?"
"Yeah, I'm having dinner with my friend right now..."
Of course it's suitable! Lim Nayeon immediately revealed her whereabouts without even thinking, but after saying that, she felt she wasn't reserved enough, and hesitantly added, "Oppa, wouldn't this be too much trouble?"
“Ani, it’s no trouble at all. Jingyuan told me a long time ago, it’s a bit late to give it to you now.” Cui Zhichang replied immediately: “Then Nayeon, give me your address, wait a moment and I’ll be right there.”
"Okay~ Um... Thank you, Oppa~"
With a 'click', she turned off the phone, and Nayeon's lips were already curled up in an uncontrollable smile. She glanced at Jennie with extremely lively eyes.
Before she could say anything, Jennie's voice immediately rang out: "Really? Why would you suddenly call and say something like that... Are you a scammer or a sasaeng fan?"
Although Jennie heard the entire phone call on speakerphone, she was still even more surprised... Who buys a gift and doesn't deliver it themselves, but instead has their assistant deliver it?
Even when he's trying to pick up girls, he'll definitely deliver the gifts himself!
Besides, who is Chi Kyung-won? He's the kind of man who doesn't even give a damn about Jennie Kim, so why would he specifically give Nayeon a gift?
She was the first to disbelieve it!
"..."
Even Kim Jisoo was somewhat skeptical after hearing this, but without hesitation, she looked at Lim Nayeon and asked, "Nayeon, is it true? You really met this... Choi Ji-chang?"
"I've seen him a few times during events."
Lim Nayeon nodded immediately, grinning, "I remember the voice..."
"So... are you close to Ji Kyung-won?" Kim Ji-soo paused before asking the question she most wanted to ask: "I've never heard you mention this before."
"You two seem pretty familiar, don't you?"
At this point, Lim Nayeon became a little reserved and gave a simple explanation: "He and Jeongyeon are very close. They collaborated on the song 'Really Really' last year, right? They became very close at that time, and the people who collaborated on that song had a chat group... Later, Jeongyeon added me to the group, and we often chatted in the group, so we are quite familiar with each other and have also met up a few times."
Lim Nayeon understood that neither of them really believed it... If she hadn't remembered what happened before, she herself would have thought it was fake.
...And she doesn't remember any of Cui Zhichang's voice at all.
"Tsk tsk, you two are really close~"
Jisoo looked at Nayeon with a surprised expression and nodded: "Then it must be true."
"Then I'll send him the address."
Nayeon shook her head and started texting with a smile.
This surprised Kim Jisoo, made Lim Nayeon happy, but left another person feeling a little awkward.
Jennie's expression was quite interesting, and the occasional glances she gave Nayeon were rather unfriendly.
Seeing how you always grin with your rabbit teeth, acting all loud and boisterous, and even a bit rustic, I never imagined that Lim Nayeon would be so cunning!
Since you're so close to Chi Jingyuan, and you often chat and go out together... then why didn't you say a word when I was cursing him for so long?
Isn't this a deliberate trap set for me? Aren't they just waiting to betray me?
Although she didn't care at all when she was bragging and telling stories, and acted as if she didn't care about Ji Jingyuan at all, Kim Jennie knew herself well. She could brag, but Ji Jingyuan was not someone she could afford to mess with. Not to mention her, even her oppa couldn't afford to mess with him. If Ji Jingyuan found out that she had slandered him and got angry, wouldn't she be in trouble?
It's all Lim Nayeon's fault! That buck-toothed girl is such a scheming bitch!
Jennie was instantly furious. Looking at Nayeon's smiling face, she wanted to say something. If you want to do it, then do it! Open your mouth now!
only……
"Ernie."
Jennie pursed her lips somewhat awkwardly, forced a smile, and looked over: "Are you... still going to touch me?"
Nonsense, now's not the time to confront her. What's more important right now is to keep a low profile and prevent her from complaining to Chi Jingyuan or anything like that.
So... her bag is still with Lim Nayeon!
"Oh, here you go~"
Nayeon was taken aback by what she heard. She wasn't a very sensitive person, but she still felt that Jennie's tone and attitude were different.
But Lim Nayeon didn't say much. She immediately returned the soft, fleshy pouch to her leg and habitually complimented her, saying, "It's so soft and cute."
Honestly, Jennie's various bitches just now made her feel very uncomfortable, and she even had the urge to explode... But now, those things suddenly seem less important. Instead, Nayeon is excited and looking forward to what Ji Kyung-won will give her.
With Jennie's deliberate low-key approach, the rest of the dinner became incredibly harmonious, but Jisoo suddenly became interested in something else.
"I remember EXO went to America, right?" She looked at Rabbit Teeth with surprise. "Oh my god, they've already left, but they still remember to send you a birthday present? What's your relationship with them?"
"She's interested in you?" Kim Jisoo's eyes gleamed, as if she had discovered a big secret.
"Oh, it's nothing, just a friend... just a friend."
…………
Because Cui Zhichang was coming over to deliver a gift, the three of them, who were almost finished eating, slowed down and deliberately delayed, not eating much, but chatting instead.
However, both Lim Nayeon and Kim Jisoo felt that Kim Jennie seemed to be talking much less. Jennie, who had been talking non-stop just now, suddenly seemed to have lost her energy.
Jennie actually wanted to leave immediately because she had a premonition that she might not be the main character next... but she really wanted to know what Ji Kyung-won had given to Nayeon!
One second she was saying something like 'Ji Jingyuan is so boring, he didn't even do anything for my birthday,' and the next second Lim Nayeon got a call saying she had a gift... Although the two next to her didn't say anything, their eyes made it very clear that she was bragging.
How embarrassing for her!
So she wanted to see what it was, preferably some little gadget, a doll, a headband or something.
Although she was inwardly cursing and grumbling, what did that faint feeling of jealousy mean?
"Oppa, you've arrived?"
Just as Jennie was lost in thought, Nayeon's phone rang again. She glanced at the caller ID and answered immediately, her expression bright and excited: "We're in a private room on the third floor. I'll come down to get you... You're already up? Oh, okay."
"Coming! Coming, coming!"
After hanging up the phone, Lim Nayeon became very excited and repeated herself several times.
"Is it delivered directly upstairs?" Kim Jisoo was a little surprised; she had thought she would have to pick it up from the parking lot.
"I said I'd go down and pick it up, but Ji-chang oppa said no..."
For some reason, Lim Nayeon suddenly felt that the chair, which was originally quite comfortable, was a bit uncomfortable. After fidgeting for a few seconds, she stood up and ran to the door.
She first left the door a crack, thinking that Cui Zhichang could come in without knocking.
But after she opened the door and came back, she had just sat down on the stool when, less than two seconds later, she darted out again, went to the door, and opened it a crack, peeking her head out furtively like a lookout.
"Nayeon-ssi... what's wrong?"
She looked for a long time but couldn't see it. Suddenly, a questioning voice came from behind her, startling Lim Nayeon so much that she almost bumped into the door. She quickly pulled her head out and looked over awkwardly.
She might not have any genetic basis for what she had just heard, but as soon as she saw Choi Ji-chang's face, she immediately recognized him. She had indeed seen Chi Kyung-won's assistant several times.
"Oppa..."
Lim Nayeon deliberately avoided mentioning what she had just been doing and quickly opened the door to greet Choi Ji-chang. Although Choi Ji-chang waved casually, she still bowed.
When Jisoo and Jennie in the room saw this, they both stood up to greet him... Ji Kyung-won's assistant is definitely a powerful figure in the industry.
"Hello..."
Choi Ji-chang was somewhat surprised to see Kim Ji-soo and Kim Jennie, but he wasn't interested in these female idols' social circles, and he had only come today for Lim Na-yeon.
"Nayeon-ssi, this is a birthday gift that Kyungwon-ssi asked me to give you."
After greeting them, Choi Ji-chang didn't say much and went straight to the point, handing a leather bag with the Gucci logo to Lim Na-yeon: "It's custom-made. Na-yeon-ssi, you can open it and take a look. If there are any problems, we can make some changes."
"Okay, Oppa..."
Lim Nayeon couldn't wait any longer. Upon hearing Choi Ji-chang's words, she glanced at Kim Ji-soo and Kim Jennie, who had already walked up to her and were clearly very curious, and immediately started taking it apart. At the same time, she couldn't help but ask again, "Oppa, are you saying it's custom-made?"
“No ordinary person has this privilege. This was custom-made by Jingyuan Xi through direct communication with the brand,” he explained. “He specifically asked me to do this because he was about to go to the United States due to his schedule.”
Cui Zhichang nodded and introduced, "This is a special edition of the Gengar Dionysus bag from the GUCCI and Pokémon collaboration. It adds some elements unique to Nayeon-xi to the original special edition..."
It was indeed Chi Jingyuan who specifically instructed him, but in reality, he only made a phone call at the beginning and didn't pay much attention to it afterwards. Everything was handled by Cui Zhichang, and many of the 'special elements' were communicated between him and the designer.
But as his assistant, Choi Ji-chang naturally had to give the credit and praise to Ji Kyung-won... Besides, he didn't know what his boss thought of Lim Na-yeon, but since he had given her a gift, he naturally had to say nice things.
As Lim Nayeon unpacked the bag, the bag Choi Ji-chang had mentioned came into view, and her movements involuntarily slowed down. She could also hear Kim Ji-soo's soft gasp.
The bag is stunning at first glance, with a unique overall texture. The overall shape still features the classic half-moon horseshoe buckle design of the GUCCI Dionysus bag. The bag body is made of delicate and soft GG Supreme canvas, which is durable and has a subtle leather sheen.
However, the iconic symmetrical motif of the usual style has been completely subverted. In the very center of the bag, a mischievous and playful Gengar takes center stage. It's not a simple flat print, but rather a combination of delicate embroidery and slightly raised suede appliqués.
Gengar's signature wide grin, cunning white eyes, and short limbs are all full of three-dimensionality, as if it's about to pop out of its bag at any moment.
The most brilliant touch is that Gengar's bright red tongue is designed as a small red suede tassel on the side of its body, swaying gently as it moves, making it both lively and playful.
Looking at her birthday present, at the mischievous Gengar's smile and lisp, Lim Nayeon felt her heart melt.
In an instant, I fell madly in love with this little thing.
As she looked at it, she could hear Cui Zhichang's introduction and explanation: "The special edition Dionysus bag already had some differences from the regular version, but Nayeon's bag is based on the special edition with many unique design additions. The classic brown tone has been replaced with a crisper ivory white canvas. The original Poké Ball-style zipper has also been redesigned. In its place are a pair of delicate, smiling little bunnies..."
"The inner silk lining is no longer a single red, but has been changed to polka dots in candy pink and cream yellow, taken from TWICE's support colors. In one corner of the lining, Nayeon's signature is embroidered with silver thread."
"...And most notably, on the Gengar's forehead, a small number '95' is inlaid with tiny pearls and diamonds, taken from Nayeon's birth year."
"It can be said that Nayeon's bag is irreplaceable and unique."
That's about it...
After explaining, Choi Ji-chang looked at Lim Na-yeon, who was both surprised and touched, and was staring blankly at the bag, and said with a smile, "There is a phone number inside the package. If you need to replace parts or clean it, just call that number... I'll be going now."
After saying that, he remembered something and added a special blessing: "By the way, Nayeon-ssi, happy birthday~"
Although Lim Nayeon quickly regained her composure and tried to persuade him to stay, saying polite things like "sit for a while and have something to eat," Choi Ji-chang knew his job well and left quickly after making a gesture.
Soon, Cui Zhichang left, the door was closed, and only three people remained in the private room.
The atmosphere inside became subtle and quiet. Lim Nayeon held her birthday present in her hands, while Kim Jisoo and Kim Jennie stared blankly at the Gengar bag.
They had all heard Cui Zhichang's introduction; those ingenious details were all cleverly incorporated elements of Lin Nayeon's personal style...
What about the zipper, the lining, the signature, and that diamond number?!
I've never even heard of that!
They were so envious they were practically green with envy, wishing they could just snatch it away!
"..."
Lim Nayeon also keenly sensed the intense gazes of the two people beside her; she felt as if her hand holding the bag was about to be set on fire.
So, she quickly smiled, her two large front teeth shining brightly, looking at Jennie Kim with a playful yet slightly awkward expression:
“Jinny.”
Her smile was sweet, and her dimples were full of tenderness.
"Would you like to touch it?"
