Chapter 848 Back
In the nanny car on the way to JYP, after learning that Mingjingnan and Ji Jingyuan were together, although he did not get through to Park Jinying, Kim Sangmin's previous anger was extinguished at a very fast speed.
On the contrary, he could understand why Ming Jingnan fell in love a year after his debut... Based on his understanding of the Peninsula music scene and Chi Jingyuan, there was really no one better than him in the entire circle. Compared with those male idols, Chi Jingyuan's various conditions were really a dimensionality reduction attack, and many of them were not even qualified to be compared.
They are of similar age, good looks, distinguished family backgrounds, and are in the same industry with a lot in common... From all these points of view, it seems that the two of them are quite suitable for each other.
Not to mention the entertainment industry, he felt that Ming Jingnan, or most female idols like her, would find it difficult to meet someone with similar conditions to this young master in the future... Now that they have met one, they really need to seize the opportunity.
But the change in attitude seemed so fast that even Jin Shangmin, who was thick-skinned, felt a little embarrassed. After a while of silence in the car to ease the tension, he turned around from the passenger seat and looked at Ming Jingnan:
“Mina.”
At this time, Ming Jingnan was still immersed in the scolding from her agent. She was sobbing softly in pain and did not feel the change in the atmosphere.
However, the change in Kim Sang-min's tone was so obvious that she felt something was wrong. She raised her head and looked at her agent with tears in her eyes.
The face that was furious and pointing at her and scolding her loudly had disappeared, and what appeared in front of her was a calm, kind face that even had a little smile.
Ming Jingnan paused, the sadness in his heart eased, and he immediately noticed the change.
Jin Shangmin forced out a somewhat stiff smile and asked tentatively: "Are you and... Jingyuanxi dating now?"
"Hmm..." Biting her lips lightly, Ming Jingnan glanced at her agent who had changed a lot and nodded.
"When did we get together?"
"It's been a while... well, over three months."
"It's been quite a while... I didn't feel like you guys had any contact before. Did you become close when Jing Yuanxi helped us with "Cheer Up" at the beginning of the year?"
"Actually... we've known each other for a long time."
"Very early? Before debut? I see. I was wondering..."
Jin Shangmin nodded with sudden realization, smacked his lips as if savoring something, and then asked curiously, "Then Mina, between you and Jingyuanxi... who pursued whom? Did you pursue him, or did he pursue you..."
"…Oppa, is it appropriate for you to ask this?"
Mingjing Nan glanced at her agent with dissatisfaction, sniffed, wiped her last tears with a tissue, and refused to answer in a soft voice.
After chatting for a few sentences, Ming Jingnan seemed to understand something through the drastic change in Kim Sangmin's attitude after she mentioned her boyfriend's name, and the fear and tension in her heart dissipated a lot.
Jin Shangmin smiled awkwardly, as if he felt that he was being a little gossipy: "Just asking casually..."
As he was talking, his cell phone suddenly rang. He opened it and felt relieved. He quickly picked up the phone: "PD nim..."
Hearing this name, Ming Jingnan couldn't help but breathe lightly and listened quietly...
"No, no, I've confirmed it. Mina is next to me..."
"Don't worry, I certainly didn't scold her...I just asked for specific details."
"We are heading to the company now... no meeting?"
"Okay, I got it. I'll contact you when I get to the company."
Ming Jingnan watched her agent hang up the phone, observing his expression and eyes, feeling a little nervous and expectant... She heard most of the call just now, and also heard her boyfriend's name.
Sure enough, after Jin Shangmin put down the phone, he took a deep breath, his eyes flashed with an unexpected look, a smile appeared on his face, and he looked at Ming Jingnan, paused for a moment and said, "Some of the previous plans have been cancelled... But I still have to go to the company. The PD is also rushing to the company. He has something to explain to us."
The so-called plan was, of course, a trial meeting on Mingjing Nan's love affair, as well as a series of coercive measures.
Seeing that Ming Jingnan's complexion looked much better and he nodded slightly to indicate that he understood, Jin Shangmin wanted to say something, but hesitated, shook his head and turned away.
Honestly speaking, although he had anticipated Park Jin-young's attitude and the outcome of the handling, the change was so great, from the original aggressive handling to the current passing of the matter, that as a manager he actually felt quite embarrassed, and felt as if the company's authority had been lowered.
But... this is reality.
If Mingjingnan's love partner today is not Ji Jingyuan, or if it is another member of Twice, then both Kim Sangmin and the company will definitely deal with it seriously for the first member of Twice who dares to fall in love, and ordering them to break up, manage their communications, and cancel their schedules.
Ugh.
Along the way, Jin Shangmin was a little bored and gave Ming Jingnan a few intermittent instructions.
When the car was about to drive to the entrance of the JYP building, he suddenly remembered something and took out the phone that he had just confiscated from Mingjing Nan from his bag. After hesitating for a moment, he turned around and handed it back:
"Here...your cell phone..."
After handing it back, Jin Shangmin thought about it and added one more reminder:
"Still...be careful."
…………
Ming Jingmin followed her agent to the company and soon met Park Jin Young who had returned. She was pulled into the office by the PD and asked a lot of questions, mostly about her relationship with Ji Kyung Won. In addition, the PD also seriously reminded her to be careful not to be photographed by the media and not to be too ostentatious in front of other members.
Of course Ming Jingnan agreed unconditionally. She was not a flamboyant person to begin with, and she was completely flattered that the company had this attitude and did not impose any substantial punishment.
Afterwards, Park Jin-young saw that he could not make it to the rest of Twice's activities for the day, so he asked his agent and assistant to take Ming Jingnan to have a midnight snack nearby. After she rested for a while, she was allowed to return to the dormitory.
Sitting in the nanny car on the return trip, Ming Jingnan stared out the window with her eyes fixed on the scenery, letting the colorful lights on the street divide her face into pieces.
The completely different attitudes of her agent and the company were exposed in front of him. She knew the reasons for these changes at that time. After leaving the company, she kept thinking about it. Although it was late at night and the temperature was very low, she felt as if she was soaking in a hot spring. Her heart became light and warm.
This feeling of being cared for and even receiving some special treatment is really satisfying and happy.
She suddenly wanted to see her boyfriend, wanted to hear his voice, wanted to see his face, wanted to act coquettishly with him...
Looking out the window, the reflection of the falling leaves seemed to slowly begin to take on his appearance.
At this moment, the phone she had retrieved suddenly vibrated. Ming Jingnan looked down and her expression instantly relaxed, with a knowing smile on her face.
I don’t know if Chi Jingyuan sensed her thoughts, the call was from her boyfriend.
Mingjing Nan secretly glanced at his assistant who was driving and his agent who was sitting in the passenger seat, hesitated for a moment, and finally answered the call.
...If it were in the past, she would never have accepted it if there were other people around, especially if they were her agent.
But today she let go a little...and now she really missed him.
But because there was someone there, Ming Jingnan didn't say anything after the call was connected. He just silently, pursed his lips and curled the corners of his mouth, listening to the breathing sounds coming from the receiver with longing.
"...Why aren't you talking?" A few seconds later, Chi Jingyuan's strange voice came over.
Because the environment in the car was very quiet, as soon as Chi Jingyuan spoke, the agent and assistant in front heard it immediately. The agent turned around and gave a strange look at Ming Jingnan who was a little embarrassed, the corner of his mouth twitched, and turned back pretending not to hear it.
"Hmm..." Ming Jingnan was not used to the agent's gaze, so he just responded softly.
"It's inconvenient to talk? Is there anyone around?"
Chi Jingyuan immediately guessed what was going on and instantly switched from Korean to Japanese: "If it's inconvenient for you to talk, just listen to me."
"Yeah." Mingjing Nan responded obediently.
Although the agent may not understand Japanese and it does not affect their communication, it is indeed not appropriate for her to chat with her boyfriend in front of him without paying attention to others. Chi Jingyuan is really considerate, and he also knows that she is not such a high-profile person.
There is no need to communicate much, just hearing his voice makes me feel at ease.
"Xiao Nan didn't reply after I sent you a text message. I thought something might have happened. I couldn't get in touch with you, so I called Brother Zhenying directly..."
"Um……"
"I've already told Jinyoung about our relationship. Your company also knows about it... He was actually quite surprised when he heard that we were dating."
"Um……"
"I've already communicated with Brother Zhenying. Xiaonan, you don't have to worry about what will happen if the company finds out. If nothing unexpected happens, it should be fine. They won't make it difficult for you... Although this kind of thing is embarrassing, I should still have the face to save it."
"Um……"
"But your company should explain some things to you by then... Jinyoung also said that it's best to keep a low profile, and I think so too. Twice is at a critical stage right now, and it wouldn't be good if it affected your career, so everything should be the same as before..."
"Um……"
Listening quietly to Chi Jingyuan's concerned voice on the phone, every word he said became a warm current that refreshed his heart. A strong sense of satisfaction and attachment brewed in Ming Jingnan's heart. The loss and grievance that he had felt in the afternoon because of the anniversary incident disappeared without a trace.
Although there are indeed some regrets, compared with the present, they are not worth mentioning.
Although the other members of Twice are not in a relationship yet and cannot be compared with each other, at this moment, Mingjing Minami really feels that her choice is absolutely correct.
"Okay, if there's nothing else, I won't talk to you for now. It will probably be very late to rehearse the stage later, so you should go back and rest early. Good night, bye."
Without waiting for her reply, Chi Jingyuan, knowing that she was not in a position to talk, hung up the phone directly. However, Ming Jingnan did not put down the phone. Instead, he smiled, looked at the mottled window next to him with bright and clear eyes, and whispered softly in his native language to the phone that had been hung up:
"Good night."
…………
"…Mina hasn't come back yet, I guess something really went wrong… Also, the company is completely on high alert against our relationship right now."
In the bedroom, Yu Jeongyeon, who had just poked her head out to look around the living room, sighed with some concern. Then, looking at Lin Nayeon, who was sitting on the bed next to her with a dark face and a pouty mouth, and was obviously in a bad mood, she couldn't help but pat her with her hand: "Alright, it's already like this."
Lin Nayeon sniffed, rubbed her red eyes, and muttered sadly, "How on earth are Mina and Jing... and Ji Guang together? I clearly don't feel any connection between them at all."
"Ah……"
Hearing the change in the way the little sister addressed Chi Jingyuan, Yu Jeongyeon couldn't help but sneer at her childishness. Then, after hearing her question, she thought about it and shook her head in confusion:
"I don't know either. I haven't heard Jingyuan Oppa and the others mention it before. But it's normal to keep this kind of thing secret. You know Mina's personality... But from my observation, Sana may know something about them. Her expression in the car today was quite obvious. These two have been together every day for a while. If you really want to know, you can ask Sana when you have the chance..."
After talking for a while, seeing that Lin Nayeon still had no reaction and was still very disappointed, Yu Jeongyeon, who knew her sister's thoughts very well, couldn't help but sigh, reached out and hugged her, looked at her seriously and said: "Don't be sad... Let me ask you, if Jingyuan Oppa didn't date Mina, would you take the initiative to confess?"
"Of course not. You know he doesn't like it..."
Lin Nayeon shook her head vigorously without even thinking: "Besides, we have only been debuted for a short time. I still want to be a good idol. The company will not allow us to fall in love..."
After saying that, she pursed her lips and added, trying to save face: "Besides, I don't like him!"
Ignoring Lin Nayeon's last words, Yu Jeongyeon nodded with approval: "So, even if you have feelings for Jingyuan Oppa, it's impossible now, so why are you still sad? Anyway, there is no chance now, and Mina's relationship with him has no impact on you... Who knows what will happen in the future?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Nayeon paused slightly and raised her head.
From a pure black fan before to a fake black fan now, Yu Jeongyeon knows clearly the change in her mentality and the little thoughts that are not known to outsiders.
After learning about Ming Jingnan and Ji Jingyuan's relationship that evening, Lin Nayeon felt empty, anxious, and lost in her heart, as if something was missing.
There is a kind of bleakness and sadness that makes a love relationship end sadly before it even begins.
But after listening to her sister's analysis, she changed her mind a little.
Just as Yu Jeongyeon said, no matter whether Ji Jingyuan is in a relationship now or dating Mingjingnan, she has no chance at all...not to mention that she doesn't like him at all.
Just thinking about it like this makes me feel even more uncomfortable...
"Suck... I'm not sad, I'm just worried about how Mina is doing!"
Although she felt upset, Lin Nayeon was more energetic than before. She stiffened her neck, sniffed, and stubbornly maintained her self-esteem: "And I told you, I don't like floor light!!"
"what ever."
Yu Jeongyeon shrugged indifferently.
'Di Guang' doesn't like you anyway...as long as you return to normal.
Seeing her little sister like this, Lin Nayeon was actually very hurt. She opened her mouth and started to pretend to cry, twisting her body from side to side: "Wuwuwu... You don't care about me at all!"
"You've recovered well!" Yu Jeongyeon's eyes lit up and he raised an eyebrow at her.
But after saying this, Yu Jeongyeon seemed to have thought of something and lost interest in playing. She sighed and lowered her voice a little:
"Actually... I really think Mina has lost her mind this time. Jingyuan Oppa is indeed excellent, the kind of excellence that surpasses others in every aspect...
But it’s really inappropriate to fall in love now. Now that the company knows about it, they will definitely not allow it, and it will also be irresponsible for her career. Moreover, even if she has paid so much, Jingyuan Oppa’s personality... Alas, girls usually suffer in such things. I remember that she is not a love-brained person. She used to be very smart and independent. Why is she so...”
“Hmm…” Upon hearing this, Lin Nayeon fell into silence, not knowing whether she was worried about Ming Jingnan or thinking about herself.
"And ah..."
As she spoke, Yu Jeongyeon glanced at the wall on the left without missing a trace. That was where the other dormitory was located. She leaned close to her ear and her voice sounded a little tired: "Now, in addition to worrying about how the company will deal with Mina, I think what I need to worry more about is whether they will quarrel after Mina comes back."
"You mean... Tzuyu?" Following her gaze, Lin Nayeon instantly understood what Yu Jeongyeon meant.
Everyone in Twice knew when they participated in "Sixteen" that Zhou Ziyu had known Ji Jingyuan for a long time. As they debuted together as a group, they became closer and closer. They also learned more about the relationship between her and Ji Jingyuan from the youngest member.
They were also surprised at the accidental acquaintance of the two people, and sighed at the fate of their unexpected meeting. They envied Zhou Ziyu for being able to meet a brother, senior, friend, and even white moonlight who was tolerant, caring, and helped her for so many years until now when she came to Seoul alone and was most confused and lonely.
There are basically no stupid people in Twice, and those who can debut are all good at reading people's expressions. Many people can see that Zhou Ziyu has unusual feelings for Chi Jingyuan... Their expressions are different when they talk about Chi Jingyuan. Although they pretend that it has nothing to do with them, who can't see it from her curved eyes and grinning fangs?
It is completely different from Lin Nayeon's feelings changing because of some things and secretly liking someone. Zhou Tzuyu's feelings have accumulated and sublimated over the years. There is really no one else in her eyes and her whole mind is on him. The degree of hurt between the two people in today's incident is completely different.
Although the exact extent is unclear, Yu Jeongyeon and Lim Nayeon both know a thing or two about this, and they couldn't help but frown when they thought about the turmoil and impact that might happen to the group in the future.
"Yes, in the future..."
"drop……"
"Unnie is back!!"
As they were talking, the sound of the password door opening and Son Chaeyoung's concerned cheers came through the crack in the door. Yu Jeongyeon and Lim Nayeon looked at each other, put on their slippers, and ran out.
