"continue."
Chi Jingyuan's voice wasn't loud, but it seemed to carry an immense sense of security. His palm remained gently resting on Minatozaki Sana's back, providing her with unwavering support.
With this unwavering support, Sana Minato took a deep breath, her chest burning with excitement, and raised her hand to slap Hwang Ha-na hard across the face again.
The crisp "smack" rang out again in the dressing room, this time even harder than before. Huang Hana's cheeks swelled up even more instantly, and a trace of blood even seeped from the corner of her mouth.
Chi Jingyuan then looked at his terrified henchmen beside him and said, "And you three, do you want to go and fight too?"
"Ani, we don't need Jingyuanxi." The three followers hurriedly waved their hands, trembling.
"Forget it, look at how cowardly you all are."
Chi Jingyuan chuckled, thought for a moment, and said casually, "Then how about this, the three of you fight each other..."
After saying that, he grinned and said, "The one who beats the weakest will be punished."
The word "punishment" sounded like a curse or a death warrant. The three henchmen looked at each other, their eyes filled with struggle and hesitation, but none of them dared to disobey.
After a few seconds of silence, one of the short, plump women seemed to have made up her mind. She suddenly raised her hand and slapped the tall, thin man next to her hard across the face. The force of the slap was so great that the man staggered.
"Ah!"
"You actually!"
With the first person starting, the other two no longer hesitated and soon began to wrestle. The crisp sound of slaps and suppressed cries of pain rose and fell, creating a chaotic and embarrassing scene.
Beside her, Hwang Ha-na was repeatedly slapped across the face by Sana Minatozaki, a bitch she had always looked down upon. Humiliation overwhelmed her like a tidal wave.
As a wealthy young lady, she was always the one bullying others; when had she ever been treated like this? Her cheeks burned with pain, but more importantly, her arrogance and sense of superiority had been brutally trampled upon.
She clenched her fists so tightly that her nails almost dug into her flesh. Several times she wanted to raise her hand and hit back, wishing she could risk everything and fight with Minatozaki Sana.
But the moment her gaze met Chi Jingyuan's eyes, all her courage vanished instantly.
With each raised and lowered hand, Minatozaki Sana was filled with pent-up anger. The sensation of her slap landing on Hwang Ha-na's face, which had just been so arrogant and vicious, gave her an intense sense of satisfaction.
That feeling is like taking a sip of ice-cold soda on a hot summer day, the coolness going from your throat to your heart.
She continued striking several times until her palms were numb and her fingertips felt a clear pain before slowly stopping.
He stood there with his head down, his chest heaving violently, his breathing becoming increasingly heavy.
The henchmen standing nearby immediately stopped as well, thinking it was almost over. But Chi Jingyuan glared at them and demanded, "Who told you to stop?"
"Ah."
"Take it easy~"
Immediately, the three started fighting again. One of them had already swollen face and whispered to his companions to be more cooperative.
But all he got in return was a slap in the face.
"Do you feel better?"
Chi Jingyuan withdrew his gaze and turned to Minatozaki Sana, who was panting beside him.
She was clearly retaliating, hitting someone, but judging from her expression, she seemed to be carrying some kind of burden.
Sana Minatozaki opened her mouth, wanting to thank him, to say she was feeling much better, to say so much, but her emotions were churning, and a thousand words were stuck in her throat, leaving her at a loss for words.
In the end, she just took a deep sniff, her eyes slightly red.
Seemingly sensing Sana Minato's emotions, Ji Jingyuan didn't ask any further questions. He looked at Hwang Hana, who was curled up on the ground, and asked with concern, "Hana-ssi, you weren't knocked unconscious, were you?"
He looked at Hwang Ha-na's face.
According to Ji Kyung-won's aesthetic, Hwang Ha-na's appearance is a standard peninsula-style face. She has had a lot of work done on her face. Although each of her features is exquisite on its own, when put together, she has an overwhelming sense of being a mannequin.
At this moment, her once delicate face was now slightly swollen from the beating. At the same time, Chi Jingyuan felt a strange sensation... because Huang Hana's nose seemed to have been slightly crooked from the beating.
...Sana Minatozaki is really strong.
"Jingyuan-xi, I was wrong this time, I can apologize."
Hwang Ha-na covered her swollen cheek, completely devoid of her previous arrogance, and tried to salvage the situation: "I can apologize, I'm willing to compensate..."
The voice just sounded a little hoarse and had a slightly weak quality.
"You seem to really enjoy apologizing..."
Upon hearing this, Chi Jingyuan raised an eyebrow, his tone laced with sarcasm: "Just before I walked in, I could hear you all shouting for an apology from far away in the hallway..."
"And they kept making people kneel down and stuff like that."
Upon hearing the word "kneel down," Sana Minatozaki's body trembled violently, and the humiliating scene of being forced to kneel by Hwang Ha-na instantly flooded her mind.
"Alright, since you like apologizing so much, I'll give you a chance."
Chi Jingyuan spoke casually, but after a slight pause, his tone suddenly became indifferent: "Then... kneel down and apologize."
Before Huang Hana could react to his words, Minatozaki Sana raised her head, pursed her lips, and stared intently at Chi Jingyuan.
"MO?"
Hwang Ha-na suddenly raised her head, her eyes filled with resentment and anger.
Being slapped by Sana Minatozaki, a female idol she has always looked down upon, was humiliating enough. Now she was expected to kneel down and perform a grand ceremony?
This intense sense of humiliation was simply unacceptable to someone like her who was used to bullying others.
"It's really a misunderstanding, I can explain, this is truly a misunderstanding..."
Hwang Ha-na tried to explain, stammering, "I only heard about my fiancé, Park Yoo-chun, and you know Kyung-won-ssi, right? He's my fiancé..."
As soon as the name "Park Yoochun" was uttered, Minatozaki Sana frowned, instinctively wanting to explain something, because she thought that Ji Kyung-won was unaware of what was going on.
She didn't want him to misunderstand.
But before she could finish speaking, Chi Jingyuan interrupted her.
"I don't really want to hear any explanations, but are you saying... this isn't just your problem, it's also Sana's fault?"
Chi Kyung-won looked very calm.
"I..." Huang Hana nodded repeatedly upon hearing this; that was exactly what she meant.
Both sides are at fault, so there's no need to be so harsh, is there?
"I see... But when you were bullying someone just now, didn't you realize you were wrong?"
"and……"
Chi Jingyuan nodded slightly, but under Huang Hana's expectant gaze, he smiled and chuckled softly: "...Even if it's her fault, so what?"
Sana Minatozaki's heart skipped a beat.
"Hurry up, don't make me keep nagging you."
As Ji Jingyuan spoke in a lazy tone, Huang Hana hesitated for a long time. She looked at the smiling Ji Jingyuan, then at the silent Minatozaki Sana who was biting her lip. In her heart, she cursed, "That damn woman is such a show-off."
Even filled with grief and resentment, he could only slowly and humiliatingly kneel down.
"boom."
With a muffled thud, this arrogant and domineering woman knelt down in front of Minatozaki Sana.
Sana Minatosaki was stunned for a moment, seemingly not quite reacting, staring blankly at the woman who had just been so reckless, pushing her to the bottom of the abyss.
A few seconds later, she seemed to come to her senses and walked step by step to her, her eyes sweeping over the cosmetics scattered on the dressing table.
Foundation, eyeshadow palette, lip gloss... She casually picked up a bottle of foundation, unscrewed the cap, and poured it onto Hwang Ha-na's face without hesitation.
"Ah~"
The icy liquid slid down Hwang Ha-na's cheeks, the sticky, uncomfortable touch causing her to scream miserably, mingling with her tears and blood, leaving her utterly disheveled.
Sana Minatozaki's feelings were complicated, a mix of exhilarating joy and uncomfortable burden.
In all her life, Sana Minatozaki had never slapped someone like this, from a position of power, looking down on them.
She's not the kind of person who likes to bully others.
There has never been such a strong act of revenge against someone who has hurt them.
The exhilaration of retaliating, the instant the slap landed, the surge of heat rushing from the soles of my feet to the top of my head, the pores of my body opening up like flowers, every cell cheering and screaming.
It was absolutely exhilarating.
But after the first slap, Sana Minatozaki's anger had already dissipated by more than half.
She is not a vengeful person.
Looking at Hwang Ha-na screaming pitifully in front of her, she felt a little burdened, but she still persisted and ruthlessly retaliated.
Her enthusiasm and liveliness are reserved for her friends, but when faced with someone like Hwang Ha-na, she would rather be ruthless and become a cold-blooded villain.
So what if he's ruthless? So what if he's bullying people?
Who wouldn't?
She picked up the cosmetics bottle after bottle, opened them, and poured them out.
Foundation, eyeshadow, gel, and various colored liquids and powders fell on Hwang Ha-na's face, hair, and clothes, turning her into a disheveled clown.
Seeing Hwang Ha-na's pained and helpless state, a surge of resentment rose within Minatozaki Sana, while the events of that evening kept flashing through her mind—
Being cornered in the dressing room, verbally abused, slapped, having foundation poured on her, and forced to kneel down and apologize, and then Chi Jingyuan suddenly appears—the sense of redemption and relief, along with the grievances and despair, all intertwine together.
Today was probably the most embarrassing and awkward day of her life.
Emotions surged up instantly, my eyes stung, and tears uncontrollably streamed down my face.
Sana Minatozaki covered her face and couldn't help but cry again.
This time, it wasn't because of fear or resentment, but because of an extreme release of emotions.
Seeing this, Chi Jingyuan was too lazy to do anything more. He wasn't really interested in bullying people himself. He walked over, hugged Minatozaki Sana, patted her back with moderate force, and walked towards the door, preparing to leave.
Upon seeing this, Huang Hana's tense body relaxed slightly, thinking that the revenge was finally over, and her clown-like, filthy face relaxed a little.
But when Chi Jingyuan reached the door, he suddenly stopped, turned back and glanced at her indifferently, and casually said, "By the way, before I came, I called your grandfather and said that you and I had a little conflict... well, not a little, but a big one."
"The old man is much more reasonable than you. He not only apologized, but guess what else he said?"
Chi Jingyuan looked at Hwang Ha-na, whose mouth was slightly open and who looked incredulous, and gently gestured with his lips:
He said he doesn't want to see you anymore.
"Then, as juniors, neither you nor I will let the elder down, right?"
The dressing room door opened, and Ji Jingyuan casually spoke while giving Park Jae-hyun a wink as he rushed in, indicating that he would handle the rest.
He also pointed to the JYP female assistant next to him, who had been covering her face and pretending to be dead ever since he came in, but was secretly peeking through her fingers, and instructed him to deal with her as well.
Of course, she won't receive the same treatment as Hwang Ha-na; it's just a matter of communicating with JYP to handle the aftermath.
After a brief exchange, Chi Jingyuan paused for a second, then took off his coat and gently covered Minatozaki Sana's head, concealing her disheveled appearance.
…………
Chi Jingyuan embraced the still trembling and crying Minatozaki Sana as they walked through the lobby of the beauty salon. There were many staff members peeking in, but none of them dared to utter a single word.
As I stepped out of the beauty salon, it was already completely dark. A cool evening breeze brushed against my cheeks, carrying a slight chill.
Chi Jingyuan led Minatozaki Sana directly to the parking lot—a Mercedes that his assistant had driven there when they arrived was already parked there.
He opened the passenger door and let Sana Minatozaki get in. Then he went around to the driver's seat, took off the coat covering her, carefully helped her fasten her seatbelt, and started the car.
With a whoosh, the tires rolled off the ground, and the car sped out of the parking lot, quickly merging into the traffic on the road.
Sana Minatozaki, in the passenger seat, was still crying, her head bowed, covering her face as she sobbed uncontrollably.
In just a few hours, so much happened, and I suffered humiliation that I had almost never experienced before. My self-esteem and values were even damaged.
If no one had shown up, she had no idea how the day would have ended.
But just when she was at her most desperate and aggrieved, Chi Jingyuan suddenly appeared. While saving her, he also saw her at her most disheveled.
Although I was very grateful to him just now, I don't know how to face him now.
In addition, the shock I experienced today was too great. All those emotions, including fear, grievance, anger, and exhilaration, came together, and I couldn't accept it for a while.
Chi Jingyuan didn't say anything, he just focused on driving. The car quickly left the city, got on the highway, and headed in a remote direction.
When I was chatting with my second brother before, he told me about a section of road where racing and speeding are common.
Meanwhile, in the passenger seat, Sana Minatozaki, whether she was reminded of something sad or her pent-up emotions finally bursting forth, cried harder and harder, tears streaming down her face.
The faint, high-pitched sobs echoed in the car, mingling with the engine sound like a musical accompaniment, lingering all around.
As she cried, she suddenly felt the car speeding up, and the scenery outside the window rushed past, turning into blurry streaks of light and shadow. The passenger window wasn't completely closed, and the wind was blowing in through the gaps, accompanied by a piercing whistling sound.
The car was going so fast that she was a little scared, her heart started pounding uncontrollably, and she didn't even have time to cry.
"Slow down," Sana Minatozaki said, her voice choked with emotion.
Chi Jingyuan seemed not to hear him and continued to press the accelerator, increasing the car's speed.
"Oppa, slow down." Her voice was a little louder, with obvious sobs in it.
Chi Jingyuan turned his head, glanced at her, and suddenly smiled: "Hurry up? OK~"
"what!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he stepped on the gas again, and the car accelerated suddenly. The strong push made Sana Minatozaki press against the back of the seat, startling her into a scream.
The engine roared like a howling beast as the car sped past, the night outside the window and the lights intertwining into a dazzling blur.
As the speed increased, intense fear and excitement surged into her heart at the same time. These emotions were like fuel, making her body start to boil. The negative emotions seemed to be amplified in this extreme speed, and then gradually dissolved in her burning body.
"I said slow down!!!"
Amidst the roar of the engine, Sana Minatozaki screamed at the top of her lungs.
"Sit still!!!"
Chi Jingyuan shouted back at him. The engine noise and the howling wind made the two of them feel as if they were flying, and they had to use all their strength to communicate.
Chi Jingyuan did not slow down; instead, he increased the speed to a safe limit and sped along the empty highway with her in tow.
The wind outside the window grew stronger, making the car windows buzz. The city lights in the distance scattered like stars, while the nearby guardrails rushed past, forming a flowing barrier of light and shadow.
From above, the black Mercedes resembled a black lightning bolt, slicing through the night-shrouded highway, speeding along the cold, white road surface under the moonlight, flying towards its deep destination.
"Ah ah ah..."
"Ahh, Oppa!"
The constant screams, tinged with sobs, were carried away by the wind and scattered into the night, but they could not drown out the roar of the engine.
But Sana Minatozaki had no time to cry anymore. She gripped the seatbelt and handrail tightly, her knuckles turning white from the force, her heart pounding wildly as if it were about to burst out of her chest.
My mind went blank. All my grievances, anger, and fear were washed away by the extreme speed and excitement. I had no time to think about what had just happened. All my attention was occupied by the madness before me, the unprecedented excitement and my heart pounding.
After an unknown amount of time, Chi Jingyuan finally released the accelerator, and the car gradually slowed down before coming to a smooth stop on the side of the road.
Sana Minatozaki sat in the passenger seat, panting heavily. Her chest heaved violently. Even though the car had come to a safe stop, she could still feel the intense stimulation and her heart pounding. She was drenched in sweat, and her limbs felt weak.
At the same time, the various negative emotions from before seemed to dissipate rapidly. The things that had been weighing on my mind—the embarrassment, the misery, the worries, the darkness—suddenly seemed less important.
The car was parked on the side of the road. Outside, the night was quiet and peaceful. The bright moonlight shone through the car window, gently enveloping the two of them and gilding everything around them with a silvery glow.
The trees along the road cast dappled shadows in the moonlight, and occasionally a breeze would blow, making the leaves rustle.
Inside the car, the two men were breathing heavily, still carrying the afterglow of their frenzied speed.
"Your voice is so high-pitched, it's going to deafen me."
Ji Kyung-won turned his head to the side, his tone clearly teasing: "When TWICE was choosing their main vocalist, did you take a bribe from Lim Na-yeon and give it to her?"
He was also slightly out of breath, looking at Sana Minatozaki beside him.
Although her charming face had been wiped with a wet wipe, it still looked quite disheveled. Her makeup and foundation had mixed together and turned into strange colors. There were stains all over her hair and clothes. Her eyes and nose were red and still had tear stains that were hard to tell whether they were tears or snot.
Chi Jingyuan had never seen her like this before; even when she had a severe cold last time, she had maintained her composure.
However, the makeup and smooth curls that were originally done still showed some of the original features, but now, the originally exquisite makeup was torn apart and the smooth curls became messy, but unexpectedly, it had a sense of brokenness after being destroyed.
"..."
Hearing his words, Sana Minatozaki didn't know whether to be angry or laugh, but... at least she didn't want to cry anymore.
She sniffed, looked at Chi Jingyuan, and stubbornly asked in that high-pitched, thin voice, "Why did you... suddenly come here?"
This is her biggest question at this moment.
"I was planning to come see you today..."
Chi Jingyuan tilted his head: "I feel like I've figured some things out recently, so I have some things I want to tell you."
"What did you say?" she asked, pursing her lips.
"That night at the gym, well, I said a lot of hurtful things to you. Later, after I calmed down and thought about it, there were also some other reasons..."
"Many of my thoughts at the time were my own misplaced anger. I blamed you for the negative emotions I felt after breaking up with Xiaonan. It was my fault, so I wanted to apologize to you."
Looking at the dimly lit, white ground outside the window, Chi Jingyuan spoke frankly and directly, without embellishment or avoidance: "I happened to have some free time today, so I asked Brother Zai Xian to check where you were to see if there was a chance to find you. As a result, I heard about this matter. Isn't that a coincidence?"
"But it would have been better if it had been sooner..."
At this point, Chi Jingyuan seemed somewhat annoyed.
I want to kiss you.
Sana Minatosaki suddenly spoke, without any hesitation.
Her voice was still delicate, but it no longer carried the panic she had shown during the high-speed chase; instead, it carried a strong sense of restlessness.
Chi Jingyuan stared at her intently. Her eyes, which were red and swollen from crying, were still covered with a thin layer of moisture, like half a pool of moonlight, wet and beautiful—the most beautiful part of her cat-like face at this moment.
“Hey, Sana-xi, don’t let a moment of impulse affect your feelings. You did the same thing last time.”
Looking away, Chi Jingyuan raised an eyebrow, smiled, and shrugged: "Is it because you like it? Or do you want to thank me?"
"I do not know either."
Sana Minatozaki sniffed and blinked, her rosy lips slightly upturned: "But I really want to."
"……I reject."
Chi Jingyuan paused for a second and looked at her sideways.
"Why?" Sana Minatozaki paused for a moment, her eyes dimming slightly, but she didn't back down; instead, she moved even closer.
"because……"
Feeling her breath close to his, Chi Jingyuan turned to look into her eyes. Their eyes met, and he suddenly smiled and tilted his head.
"Because I'm not that kind of person."
