"Ha~"
Hearing Chou Tzu-yu's sweet and soft voice, Chi Kyung-won smiled even more happily and couldn't help but reach out his finger and affectionately flick Chou Tzu-yu's nose.
Although he could roughly guess what was going on after seeing the people around him, he couldn't help but feel a sweet warmth in his heart when he ran into the girl he hadn't seen in a long time after returning to Seoul and saw her saying "waiting for you" with eyes full of joy and happiness.
It also gives people a feeling that 'raising it was worthwhile'.
"Um……"
Seeing Zhou Ziyu's beaming face, Chi Jingyuan paused slightly. Instead of his usual sarcastic remark like "Who made you wait?" or "Have you switched to being a greeter?", he unusually took the initiative to explain why he hadn't replied to her text message earlier: "I've been on the phone the whole time, it hasn't stopped."
"Hee hee~"
When Chou Tzu-yu saw the person she had been longing for, her eyes narrowed with laughter. She stood quietly to the side, staring at him intently, oblivious to everything else.
Her captivating charm, emanating naturally from within, left the Wannan One members nearby completely mesmerized.
They knew Chou Tzu-yu before; they had met her a few times. To be honest, she was very polite, but seemed a bit bland and not very interesting.
Despite this, many people within the group still had a good impression of her because her real face and figure were simply too outstanding, but... the person in front of them now was completely different from the person they remembered.
Nayeon, who was standing to the side, was stunned to see the two of them interacting so openly and intimately. Although she couldn't understand the Chinese that Ji Kyung-won and Tzuyu were communicating with, who couldn't see the doting look in Ji Kyung-won's eyes and the affection and joy on Tzuyu's face?
She even felt that if there weren't other people around, Zhou Ziyu would want to jump onto Ji Jingyuan right now.
She was aware of the close relationship between the two, but while she felt their unabashed behavior was somewhat exaggerated, she also didn't know why the genuine excitement she felt when she saw Chi Jingyuan suddenly subsided.
Are you guys going to go this far?
Besides... it was she who called Chi Jingyuan first, it was she who called Chi Jingyuan over, okay?
Can't you see me?
"Nayeon~"
Just as Lim Nayeon was feeling dejected, she suddenly heard Ji Kyungwon call her name. Looking at her head, he smiled and praised, "Nice hair clip."
Chi Jingyuan looked at Lim Nayeon, who had a black princess hairstyle, wearing a white plus-size long-sleeved shirt and dark cotton sweatpants. The student-like outfit suited her very well, making her look quite innocent.
...I don't know if it's because we haven't seen each other for a long time, but after seeing Lim Nayeon, Ji Kyungwon suddenly felt that everyone looked better.
Especially the bow hair clip on her head, it matches her style perfectly.
Eh?
Upon hearing Ji Jingyuan's praise, Lim Nayeon, who had been full of resentment, suddenly paused, reflexively reached out to touch her hair clip, and the corners of her mouth, which had been pursed, slowly turned up, instantly coming back to life.
"Senior, Annyeonghaseyo~"
Just as Lim Nayeon was about to say something, Wanna One, who was next to her, probably because Ji Kyung-won was on the phone and was afraid he hadn't seen it, spoke up again to greet Ji Kyung-won. Although the four of them were not standing in a row, they all bowed to Ji Kyung-won in unison.
Their movements were swift and efficient, yet they inexplicably gave off a sense of trepidation and tension.
Seeing her boyfriend and his fellow members bowing at a 90-degree angle to Ji Kyung-won with such careful and cautious manner, Park Ji-hyo's smile faltered slightly, and a strange feeling suddenly welled up inside her.
Wanna One and EXO are direct competitors, or rather, this group came specifically to compete with EXO, so Park Jihyo knew that Wanna One actually didn't really like EXO.
In addition, they became an instant sensation upon their debut, and as male idols, they easily became arrogant due to the countless fans they had. In private, they didn't really respect EXO, their senior group. Park Jihyo had heard Kang Daniel complain about EXO several times in private, and the other members of Wanna One had also said bad things about them. They had an attitude of "they're just so-so, we're just as good as them."
However, the male idols who are usually arrogant and cool in private, as if they are already on par with EXO, all became as obedient as lambs when they saw Ji Kyung-won. Park Ji-hyo thought he had been hallucinating.
Upon hearing the voices, Ji Jingyuan looked at the male idols with some curiosity. He had long heard of Wanna One, who was currently the most popular group and had almost taken over the entire peninsula market left by EXO, but to be honest, this was the first time he had seen them in person.
My first impression... was pretty average. Although his clothes were fashionable and his hair color and style were unique, his aura and appearance were noticeably different from EXO's.
But it's normal for newcomers to debut.
Chi Jingyuan wasn't interested in boy groups either. He smiled and nodded at them, his senior-like demeanor very noticeable: "Hello."
"..."
Sana Minatozaki, who had been silent the whole time, looked at the scene in front of her. From her perspective, although Ji Jingyuan was dressed casually, with his hair in the most ordinary black and wearing a baseball cap, he seemed rather ordinary compared to the silver-haired and gray-haired members of Wanna One.
However, when he stood there, in the same frame as those four male idols, his tall and well-proportioned figure immediately stood out. Needless to say, his looks were undeniable, but more importantly, the difference in his aura and temperament was truly visible to the naked eye.
The contrast is extremely strong.
However, the more Sana Minato noticed his superiority and conspicuousness, the more a sense of loss welled up in her heart... He even greeted Park Jihyo, with whom she had only a casual relationship, with a smile, but he just nodded to her, seemingly no different from the other members of Wanna One.
Sana Minatozaki wanted to tell herself not to care, not to mind, and to keep her signature smile, but... she suddenly found it a little difficult.
"...I'll go first."
After exchanging greetings and a few words, Chi Jingyuan didn't linger. He nodded to the group and turned to leave. Without a second thought, Zhou Ziyu hopped over to Chi Jingyuan's left and walked alongside him.
Nayeon followed without even saying hello to Jihyo and the others. She had initially thought that since Tzuyu was to Ji Kyung-won's left, she would walk to his right.
Then, she took a few steps to Chi Jingyuan's right, but seemed to feel that it was not appropriate. After all, she and Chi Jingyuan were not as close as Zhou Ziyu, so she paused and turned, quickened her pace and went to Zhou Ziyu's left, with Chi Jingyuan on the left and right, sandwiching Zhou Ziyu in the middle.
"Oppa, I thought you guys weren't coming today." Even though there was Tzuyu between them, it didn't stop her from talking to Ji Kyung-won at all. Lim Na-yeon peeked out, her bangs and bow hair clip swinging back and forth.
“How could we not come? Wouldn’t the organizers kill us? ... It was arranged a long time ago, but the timing was a bit tight. We just got off the plane this morning, went back to drop off our luggage, and didn’t even have time to eat before rushing over.”
Chi Jingyuan clicked his tongue in response, while glancing to his left... Zhou Ziyu, tall and strong, completely blocked Lim Nayeon's figure, only revealing her small head with her rabbit teeth sticking out, which looked rather comical.
"Oh, I see. Oppa, your activities in the US recently have been a complete success. There's been a lot of news about you in Seoul lately."
"Really? But all I saw when I got back was news about you guys. Nayeon, your new song is great. We heard it on the way here... The music video is pretty good too."
"Oppa, you watched our comeback too?" Lim Nayeon's eyes lit up when she heard this, as if her group's... her charm had been recognized.
Upon hearing her say that, Chi Jingyuan's lips twitched slightly, and he glanced at the side with a somewhat strange expression.
He wanted to know everything about Twice's album preparation process. Even before the music video was released, Ji Kyung-won had already seen their photos from the shoot... This was a photo that Tzuyu sent him when Twice went to Canada to shoot the music video.
With this little spy around, Ji Kyung-won knows Twice inside and out.
Meanwhile, Chou Tzu-yu, standing next to him, seemed to have guessed his thoughts perfectly. She grinned at him, trying not to laugh, and her expression even seemed a little smug.
"Of course I watched it since you guys are so popular... I thought the song was okay. The main thing is that I felt all the members were in great shape for this comeback, and the styling was good too, like Tzuyu..."
Thinking of the music video for "LIKEY," Ji Kyung-won sincerely praised, "Nayeon, you too..."
He genuinely felt that Twice's comeback this time was very impressive, not in terms of the songs, but in terms of their styling and overall presence. Several members were particularly striking, such as Nayeon, who even seemed more eye-catching than Tzuyu this time.
However, when praising Lim Nayeon, Ji Kyung-won paused slightly, as if he was still somewhat unsatisfied.
Actually, he also wanted to talk about Sana Minatozaki's part... What impressed him most about "LIKEY" this time was actually Sana Minatozaki's part.
He glanced back subtly at Minatozaki Sana, who was a few steps behind them and walking with her head slightly bowed...
But never mind.
Meanwhile, everyone else followed behind Ji Kyung-won and the others. After Ji Kyung-won left, Tzuyu and Nayeon followed without hesitation, while Sana Minatozaki paused for two seconds before silently following as well. Park Jihyo and Kang Daniel exchanged glances, losing all interest in conversation, and trailed behind.
However, the group of people who had been chatting enthusiastically just moments before suddenly fell silent, even the couple Park Ji-hyo and Kang Daniel were no longer speaking.
When Ji Jingyuan arrived and stood there, it was as if he instantly understood who was in charge. Feeling uncomfortable under his aura, Park Woo-jin and the others lost their mood to chat or show off. The young couple also lost their desire to be intimate.
Although rationally it seems normal, and even to me it should be this way, to be honest... I'm a little annoyed.
Park Woo-jin, who had been very active, followed behind without saying a word, but his eyes kept wandering between Ji Kyung-won and Chou Tzu-yu in front of him.
He was really surprised by the two people's unabashedly close behavior. They were both idols who had debuted. How could he not see the relationship between them after seeing this?
Seeing such a beautiful, sexy, and popular senior female colleague acting all demure and submissive, he was instantly filled with intense envy and jealousy.
However, at the same time, he couldn't help but feel some respect and envy for the instigator, Chi Jingyuan... At this moment, the way he looked at Chi Jingyuan finally had the respect and admiration one would show to a senior.
After staring for a while, Park Woo-jin's gaze shifted slightly backward and landed on Minatozaki Sana, who was not far ahead.
He suddenly realized that no matter how they tried to strike up a conversation, flatter her, or show goodwill, the lively and bright smile that Minatozaki Sana always maintained on her face had inexplicably disappeared.
She was looking down slightly, and although she was smiling, she somehow gave him a feeling of 'reluctance'. This senior whom he admired so much had lost her composure and poise, for some reason.
"...After this trip back, I probably won't be going to the US anytime soon. There's a lot of stuff piling up here on the peninsula, and I still..."
While Chi Jingyuan was chatting with Zhou Ziyu and a few others about their recent schedules, a middle-aged man walked towards them from a short distance ahead.
Ji Jingyuan glanced at him, not recognizing him and not paying much attention. He assumed he was a staff member and politely made way for him. However, Lim Nayeon next to him and Minatozaki Sana behind him suddenly froze when they saw who it was.
Park Jihyo, Wanna One's Kang Daniel, and the other two shuddered, their expressions immediately changing, their faces visibly showing undisguised panic.
The person who came over was none other than Wanna One's manager, who had just given Kang Daniel and the others a thorough dressing-down and had a terrible temper.
When Kang Daniel and the others saw this, they immediately panicked and cried out in despair... They originally thought their manager was busy, but they didn't expect to be caught again. Thinking of his fierce appearance, they trembled in their hearts.
Park Jihyo, who was standing closest to the Wanna One members, felt it most clearly. The moment she saw the manager, she could feel her boyfriend Kang Daniel and the other three people next to her stiffen instantly. Kang Daniel immediately distanced himself from her, moving several steps to the side as if he didn't recognize her.
Although this is a very normal behavior, but...
Nayeon and Sana, who were walking ahead, were a little intimidated when they saw Wanna One's manager. The scene of the manager scolding people and the harsh words he used were still very memorable.
They first turned around and glanced at Park Jihyo and the four members of Wanna One with some concern, then turned back and bowed slightly, preparing to greet them.
Suppressing their inner turmoil, Kang Daniel and the others saw their manager approaching and quickly stepped forward, about to bow and greet him—
However, just as they were worrying, they saw the agent's gaze sweep over them, his expression suddenly pause, and then his face instantly filled with a warm smile, as if he had become a different person. He strode past them and walked straight towards Chi Jingyuan. Before he even reached him, he had already extended his hands to shake his, his tone friendly and noticeably enthusiastic, even bowing slightly:
"Aigoo, Kyungwon-ssi is here~"
