Chapter 1422 Forget it
"Unnie, let me tell you, when I just got back..."
"...Guess who I just ran into?"
Sana Minatozaki straightened up, her eyes curving into two sweet, soft crescent moons, deliberately drawing out her words to keep everyone in suspense.
Her charming yet mysterious demeanor instantly drew the attention of everyone in the lounge.
"Who did you meet?"
Nayeon blinked her round, rabbit-like eyes and spoke first, blurting out a bunch of random guesses without waiting for a reply, "Jinyoung oppa? Jackson oppa? It can't be Kang Dan..."
As she was talking, she blurted something out, and then suddenly realized what she was saying, stopping abruptly as she stole a glance at Park Jihyo beside her.
Coincidentally, Hirai Momo also joined in the guessing: "Could it be Yuta?"
"What? No, none of that is~"
Sana Minatozaki waved her hand, shook her head with a smile, and after whetting everyone's appetite, she crisply revealed the answer, "I met Jingyuan oppa!"
"Qingjia?"
The first few guesses didn't cause much of a stir, but as soon as the name "Chi Jingyuan" was uttered, the lounge fell silent for half a second before becoming completely lively.
Chou Tzu-yu, who had been looking down at her phone, put it down and quietly got up and took a few steps over here.
"Didn't you go to the restroom? Did you run into him there?"
"I can't believe it," Lim Nayeon asked hesitantly.
"I ran into him when I came out of the restroom. He was talking to someone."
Sana Minatozaki paused again, continuing to keep everyone in suspense, her eyes sweeping over the members' faces: "Guess again, who is he talking to?"
"Oh, hurry up and tell me!" Seeing that she was being mysterious again, Hirai Momo couldn't wait any longer and urged her on.
"We were just talking about that..."
Sana Minatozaki, with a mysterious look on her face, glanced around and revealed the answer: "It's Kai from XO and Jennie from BP."
"It must have been a chance encounter, right?"
She added, then vividly recounted the scene, her tone slightly exaggerated, "...I saw them standing together talking from afar, their posture was very intimate..."
"The two of them were acting very close, constantly showing affection..."
Sana Minatozaki vividly recounted what had just happened: "As I listened, I realized something was off. Seriously, that tone was definitely not like a conversation between friends."
"how to say……"
Sana Minato pursed her lips and thought for a moment, then a thought flashed through her mind, and she said with certainty, "A show of force! Yes, I feel like Jennie is showing off to Ji Kyung-won oppa."
As she spoke, Sana Minato imitated Jennie Kim's tone, her brows furrowing slightly, her voice carrying a deliberate hint of coquettishness.
"At first I was a little confused, but then I remembered that she used to have a crush on Jingyuan oppa, so I guessed it."
Sana Minato clapped her hands, looking like she understood.
"I understand."
Son Chaeyoung, who had somehow moved closer, nodded in agreement: "It's normal."
"It's obviously true."
Park Ji-hyo also understands: "After being rejected when she actively pursued someone, and now that she has a new boyfriend, her mindset will definitely be different when she sees Ji Kyung-won again. She wants to prove that she didn't make the wrong choice."
“Yes, her tone was really obvious. It sounded like she was showing off, deliberately saying that she wanted Jingyuan oppa to bring his girlfriend along.” Minatozaki Sana pouted.
"And then? The fireworks... Jingyuan oppa got angry?"
Hirai Momo's eyes lit up, and she grabbed Misaki Sana's arm, pressing for more information.
The other members around her were also staring at her with gossipy expressions, afraid of missing any crucial details.
Here comes the point.
"No, maybe I still remember, because, because..."
Sana Minatozaki shook her head first, then suddenly stopped speaking, unable to help but cover her mouth and laugh, her shoulders trembling slightly, looking like she was trying not to laugh, "Because...because I suddenly went over to support Keungwon oppa!"
"I walked right over and hugged Kyungwon oppa's arm, deliberately getting very close and tilting my head slightly to act cute with him..."
She lowered her hand and began to describe her actions with great enthusiasm, gesturing as she spoke.
Although her imitation skills were slightly inferior to Lim Na-yeon's, it was still a natural performance, and she successfully recreated that spirit.
"Pfft...you."
Hirai Momo laughed first, then couldn't help but pat Minatozaki Sana twice: "Sana, how could you be so mean? Now do they all think you're dating him?"
"Jennie was very angry?"
Yu Dingyan raised an eyebrow, her tone tinged with schadenfreude.
She glanced at Lim Nayeon... Lim Nayeon and Kim Jennie had a good relationship, but she didn't really like Kim Jennie.
That pretentious and manipulative attitude of hers is annoying to look at, but I couldn't say anything because of Lim Nayeon. Now that I hear Jennie Kim get her comeuppance, I feel really good.
"She... ha, I don't know either, anyway, I quickly pulled Kai away."
Sana Minatosaki didn't say much bad, but drew out her words and shook her head casually with a smile.
"Wouldn't Kai be embarrassed too?"
Hirai Momo suddenly remembered something, her voice excited, her eyes wide: "Didn't he cause you to get into trouble with the company before...?"
She didn't finish speaking, but everyone else knew that because Kim Jong-in was photographed pursuing her, Minatozaki Sana was severely reprimanded by the company, and her phone was confiscated.
"Yeah, he used to pursue you. If I were him... haha~"
Park Jihyo couldn't help but pat Minatozaki Sana on the back, chuckling as she said, "I really want to see his expression."
"Hum~"
Sana Minato tilted her head, hummed twice, and smiled smugly, looking every bit like a Shiba Inu... "This young lady has already taken her revenge."
Hearing this, Chou Tzu-yu chuckled a few times, gritting her little tiger teeth and muttering a few sarcastic remarks to Jennie... Jennie was deliberately being sarcastic towards Chi Kyung-won...
Isn't that just playing mind games with her?
Suddenly, I felt a pang of envy for Sana Minatozaki. If it were her, she definitely would have done the same.
If it were her... would she deliberately tease the other person like Sana Minatozaki, or would she be unable to resist arguing with her directly?
Chou Tzu-yu suddenly started having some divergent thoughts.
Mina, though smiling, seemed slightly dazed.
Her attention lingered on what Sana Minatozaki had just said: "She deliberately let Kei-Yuan Chi bring his girlfriend along..."
I wonder if he's found a new girlfriend now.
She glanced at Chou Tzu-yu discreetly and shook her head inwardly.
Judging from Chou Tzu-yu's appearance, she probably isn't.
The Twice members were intrigued by the simple yet interesting gossip that Sana Minatozaki brought back, and they gathered together to discuss it with great interest.
Topics included, but were not limited to, 'Kim Jongin's mindset and expressions,' 'Will he argue with Ji Kyungwon after he goes back,' 'Is Jennie dating Kim Jongin revenge,' and jokes like, 'Won't Sana and Ji Kyungwon's fake relationship become real, haha...'
Meanwhile, Lim Nayeon grinned awkwardly, showing her rabbit teeth.
Although the story is actually quite interesting, if the protagonist were someone else, she, the queen of flattery and gossip, would have already joined in and chatted about it at length.
However, the villain in the film is Jennie Kim, who is considered a friend of hers. This puts Nayeon in a dilemma, as she wants to laugh along but doesn't feel comfortable doing so.
She wanted to laugh again, but then she thought, "If I don't laugh, I'll laugh again."
Damn it, isn't this making things difficult for her?
Just then, her phone vibrated. She quickly looked down and saw that it was a text message from Jennie Kim:
"Unnie, it seems like Sana from your group is dating Yuan! I just saw her and Yuan being really close, they even hugged... But I remember he was flirting with other members of your group, wasn't he?"
Lim Nayeon looked at the text message and unconsciously smacked her lips twice.
If it had happened just now, she would have been absolutely shocked to see this text message.
After all, putting aside Tzuyu's relationship, Mina and Ji Kyung-won's ex-boyfriend/girlfriend relationship is well-known, and Mina and Minatozaki Sana are also very close friends.
If Sanako Minatozaki and Kei-Yuan Chi have any relationship, that would be huge news.
But now that I've heard Sana Minatozaki's story, seeing this text message again doesn't surprise me at all.
She even felt somewhat helpless; she could clearly sense a hint of malice and provocation in Jennie's tone and word choice.
She's just a little naive in some ways and can't control her emotions... but she's not stupid at all.
Nayeon looked up and glanced at the members chatting together, occasionally giggling, while Sana Minatozaki was sticking close to Momokame, Dahyun, and even Tzuyu.
He glanced down at the text message on his phone again.
She sighed softly, unsure how to respond.
…………
On the other side, after separating from Sana Minatozaki, Ji Kyung-won went straight back to EXO's dressing room.
About five or six minutes later, Kim Jong-in returned.
Chi Jingyuan paid special attention and noticed that when he entered, his brows were slightly furrowed and his expression was not very good, clearly affected by what had just happened.
But this slightly somber expression didn't last long. He walked to his seat, took a sip of water, and quickly concealed his emotions, returning to a completely normal appearance.
Ji Kyung-won originally thought that after Kim Jong-in came back, he would find an opportunity to ask him to confirm his relationship with Minatozaki Sana, or even ask how the two of them got together.
After all, given how Sana Minato just looked, anyone who saw them would think they were in love.
To Ji Kyung-won's surprise, Kim Jongin showed no interest in talking to him after returning. He didn't even try to chat with him. When their eyes met occasionally, Jongin would nod normally in acknowledgment.
That natural look in his eyes even gave Chi Jingyuan the illusion that 'the two of them had never actually met before'.
Not only did he not discuss the matter with the other members, but he also didn't mention it at all. Instead, he quickly moved closer to Park Chanyeol and Byun Baekhyun, enthusiastically joining their conversation. He even deliberately raised his voice and jokingly showed off his girlfriend Jennie's figure, his tone full of pride.
Ji Jingyuan was initially a little confused. He was still hesitant about whether to tell Kim Jongin the truth... If he told him it was false, it would be a waste of Minatozaki Sana's kindness in helping him. Ji Jingyuan also quite enjoyed Kim Jennie's expression of disgust.
If they admit it directly... then the news will actually be quite troublesome to spread, at least Twice will find out very quickly.
After all, according to Ji Kyung-won, Blackpink and Twice members have a pretty good relationship, such as Jisoo, Jennie, Nayeon, and Ha and Mina.
But to my surprise, Kim Jong-in didn't ask a single question.
However, he soon came to understand Kim Jong-in's thoughts.
In the past, when EXO members ate together or had private gatherings, they would often talk about Sana Minatozaki because of Kai. Kai would always say that if his pursuit of her hadn't been exposed, he would definitely have won her over if he had put in more effort.
Later, as time went by, when the members mentioned Sana Minatozaki again, saying that she was prettier and more popular than before, Kai would pretend to be nonchalant and say that he was "not interested" anymore.
Although I haven't seen any progress after adding him for so long, and although I'm still quite interested... it doesn't stop a man from bragging.
But I never expected to see Sana Minatozaki and Keigen Chi together today, with Sana intimately clinging to his arm...
He felt a mix of bitterness, resentment, and envy. He knew that if the other members of the group found out, their expressions would be quite something.
Out of pride, he not only wouldn't tell, but would also actively conceal it.
Kim Jong-in is still quite proud.
Having figured this out, Chi Jingyuan was at a loss for words.
Although, he and Minatozaki Sana are not actually...
Forget it.
He looked at Kim Jong-in, who was chatting and laughing with the members not far away, and coincidentally, the guy was also looking at him.
Ji Kyung-won smiled at Kim Jongin from afar.
Jennie Kim... is pretty good too.
……
The rehearsal lasted until after 8 p.m. before Chi Kyung-won left the Gocheok Sky Dome with his team. He then rushed to the company to work overtime and hold a meeting to discuss the work plan and stage arrangements for the next few days.
The next morning, just as dawn was breaking, Ji Kyung-won arrived at the Gocheok Sky Dome again for the final rehearsal before the music show. This rehearsal was even more rigorous than before. From the stage lighting and sound effects to the artists' positioning and facial expressions, everything was checked repeatedly to ensure that there would be no mistakes during the actual performance.
On the evening of December 25th, after a series of pre-event activities and a red carpet event, the SBS Gayo Daejeon officially began at 7:50 PM.
The show opened with IU's classic performance of "This Moment." IU's exquisite makeup and bright red stage outfit were very captivating, and her pure yet alluring charm instantly ignited the atmosphere.
Then, the two MCs, Yoo Hee-yeol and IU, took the stage. They first warmly wished the Pyeongchang Winter Olympics, which was less than two months away, a successful event, and then briefly introduced the program for the evening's activities before officially announcing the start of the show.
Every year, SBS's Gayo Daejeon has a theme, and this year's theme is "Number One"—as the name suggests, it is to look back at the "first" of various periods in Kpop history, in order to pay tribute to the classics.
However, what actually happened was that some popular groups were asked to cover classic performances by older groups. Perhaps due to the large differences in style, or perhaps due to the limited preparation time, the overall performance was not very good, and even a bit stiff.
The reaction at the scene... In fact, most of the fans who follow celebrities now are young people. They have never seen the idols' performances from twenty years ago, and they don't really care.
In previous years, Ji Kyung-won always felt that among the New Year's Eve galas of the three major television networks, SBS's Gayo Daejeon was the most exciting and well-made, with excellent stage design and gimmicks.
But this year, it felt a bit bland. There were no seats for the artists on stage, so he sat in the backstage waiting room the whole time. When the camera came on, he would give some reactions, and when the camera left, he would just space out or play on his phone.
It's pretty boring.
Compared to the lackluster process of the song battle, its ending was actually quite exciting. Because today is Christmas.
Because today is Christmas.
Although Ji Kyung-won is not a believer, the whole of Seoul has become lively because of the festival these past few days, and the atmosphere is quite infectious.
It always makes you want to do something...
Like Kim Jong-in and Park Chan-yeol... When he came back after leaving, he heard the two of them discussing what activities they had for the evening.
Park Chanyeol said he had already made plans to go drinking, while Kim Jongin said he had made plans to go on a date with his girlfriend. Park Chanyeol chuckled twice and asked if he had enough condoms. Kim Jongin slapped him twice with a confident look on his face.
Chi Jingyuan, suppressing a laugh with a straight face, returned to the waiting room and, as soon as he took out his phone, saw a similar unread text message:
"Want to go out tonight?"
