Chapter 1400 It’s Snowing
"Can...it be corrected?"
Silently reciting the words Kim Jonghyun had uttered with slight excitement, Ji Kyungwon looked up at the misty sky and remained silent.
He did not deny what Kim Jong-hyun said, and he was confident that he could correct and modify many things.
However, even if there is this desire in the subconscious, and a beautiful vision that everyone hopes to have a perfect ending, many things are not so simple due to individual thoughts, personalities, and pride.
In just a few words, Kim Jong-hyun inexplicably dragged the two into a vortex of emotional turmoil. Ji Kyung-won unconsciously recalled many things from the past and the many people he had hurt, which caused his good mood for the evening to fade slightly, and he suddenly felt somewhat depressed.
But beyond that, Ji Kyung-won was more surprised... or rather, puzzled by Kim Jonghyun's sudden emotional outburst.
He could tell that the man was speaking very seriously and that he was speaking from the heart.
But this is somewhat puzzling.
...Although everyone except Onew was in high spirits all night, gossiping and complaining about all sorts of things, this kind of crazy fun and drinking with friends is a rare stress release for celebrities.
The only explanation is that this guy might have had a bit too much to drink, or perhaps he was influenced by the warmth of the relationship and felt some empathy.
Perhaps, as he said... he's been under a lot of pressure lately.
However, Ji Kyung-won didn't drink much. Although he was drawn into memories by Kim Jong-hyun's words and felt a bit sentimental and nostalgic, it came suddenly and wasn't that profound.
On the contrary, the other party suddenly became very emotional, which caught him off guard for a while.
The steam from the hot spring carried a cool breeze between the two. Looking at the emotions in Kim Jonghyun's eyes, Chi Kyungwon opened his mouth but didn't know what to say. He could only raise his glass and gently touch it to Jonghyun's. The crisp sound was particularly clear in the quiet winter night.
Kim Jong-hyun seemed to realize that his sudden seriousness was a bit abrupt, but he seemed to be caught up in his emotions. After a brief pause, he still wanted to say something.
He had only opened his mouth, but before he could utter a sound, a series of footsteps and chatter approached from afar.
Kim Heechul and Kim Kibum, who had just taken Onew to the dressing room, have returned.
Seeing the two approach, Kim Jonghyun paused. He slowly closed his mouth, which was about to say something, and his expression twitched slightly in a struggle. He didn't say anything more, and the emotions that had just fluctuated disappeared again. He forced a smile and greeted the two who had returned.
"How is it?" Chi Jingyuan waved and asked with concern.
"I'm exhausted!"
“Jinki (Onew) has definitely gained weight. He hasn’t been active lately, and he’s not even maintaining his figure anymore.”
Kim Heechul walked over, picked up his glass, downed it in one gulp, let out a satisfying burp, and complained, "He's still not awake. He keeps yelling for us to give him a knife because he's going to kill that woman."
"Do you hate them that much?"
Chi Jingyuan's lips twitched slightly, and he couldn't hold back his laughter any longer. He didn't know whether to laugh or not.
"Oh, I was just saying. Men, you know, can't they even vent when they've had too much to drink?"
Kim Kibum slid down into the hot spring pool with a splash, and sighed with great understanding: "After he wakes up, Jinki will have to apologize to someone in a few days."
"..." Chi Jingyuan was speechless, feeling that this guy was really in a bad situation.
He wanted to kill the other person, but he had to apologize to them in front of the camera.
"So, we should be careful not to make mistakes like this or get taken advantage of... The profession of an artist is really fragile."
After finishing his drink, Kim Heechul went down into the hot spring pool and sat next to Ji Kyung-won, sighing as he spoke.
A moment of silence fell over the scene, and Chi Jingyuan gently shook his head.
…………
"Hey, where's Jinki?"
After soaking in the hot spring, a group of friends reunited in the activity room to play cards for a while. As soon as they met, Kim Tae-yeon realized that one person was missing.
"He drank too much and is still sleeping in the lounge," Kim Heechul replied.
"Is it okay for you to be there all by yourself?" Yoona asked with concern.
"She's fast asleep, don't worry, she'll be fine."
Kim Ki-bum omitted the part about Onew 'wanting to chop someone up,' waving his hand dismissively.
A group of men and women gathered around, some playing cards at the table while others watched, drinking beverages or beer and chatting. Having just finished soaking in the hot spring, their bodies were still tired, and the whole room was filled with a lazy and relaxed atmosphere, which was quite lively.
As they chatted, the conversation naturally turned to Kim Tae-yeon's car accident a few days ago.
"...Oh my unnie, you don't know, I was shocked when I saw the news." Lim Yoona covered her chest, looking lingeringly frightened as she recounted the incident.
Perhaps because she changed her clothes after soaking in the hot spring and took off her magical underwear, her chest no longer had the obvious curves she had when she was eating. Instead, when she patted her yukata, it dented inwards.
"Isn't that how she drives? How many accidents has she caused, from the beginning until now?"
"He likes to put his dog in the passenger seat while driving, checking on him every now and then, and talking to him every now and then. It's no wonder something bad happens."
Upon hearing this, Lee Soon-kyu bluntly exposed his shortcomings: "The previous incidents were minor and the company resolved them. This time, with such a severe collision, you're lucky you didn't suffer any serious injuries."
"Besides, if it weren't for Jingyuan's help, you'd still be dealing with a scandal and apologizing every day. How would you have time to release an album?"
"Hmm... Jingyuan~"
When this matter was suddenly brought up, Kim Tae-yeon, who had been the target of everyone's criticism, did not retaliate. Instead, she raised her glass, gestured to Ji Kyung-won, clinked glasses with him, and then pursed her lips earnestly, saying, "I haven't thanked you yet."
We've known each other for many years, with so many people around, and neither of us is prone to saying anything too sentimental.
Obviously, it's all in the wine.
Ji Jingyuan smiled and clinked glasses heavily with Kim Tae-yeon, then tilted his head back and drank it all down. Kim Tae-yeon also downed her drink in one gulp, seemingly unconcerned about being an alcohol addict, wiping her mouth and exhaling.
The other members of the group, including Yoona, watched this scene and felt the genuine friendship that is rare in the entertainment industry.
At the same time, there was a lingering hint in their eyes... Clearly, they had all heard about the inside story of the car accident and knew that it was quite serious, and that Kim Tae-yeon was almost entirely at fault. If it weren't for Ji Kyung-won's help in covering it up, the trouble and negative impact would have been considerable.
This kind of friend is really reassuring.
"Nuna, it's nothing."
After finishing his drink, Ji Jingyuan didn't care about thanking him or not. Instead, he adopted a cautionary tone: "I think Soon-gyu-no-na and the others are right. Be careful while driving."
"You were lucky this time, you weren't seriously injured despite the serious collision. You might not be able to do that next time... I can help you with other things, but I really can't help with your health."
"..."
Kim Tae-yeon paused briefly, then nodded: "I understand."
Clearly, he took some of it to heart.
She shook her head, still somewhat shaken: "Don't even mention you guys, I was scared myself this time."
"Yeah, he's so short, yet he drives such a big car," Kim Heechul chimed in with a sarcastic remark.
Before Kim Tae-yeon could even retort, Lee Soon-kyu became displeased and glared at her instantly:
Is there a cause-and-effect relationship between these things?
"Hahaha……"
The topic of the traffic accident was quickly brushed aside amidst their argument, and then someone asked, "...By the way, has Yoona's 'Hyori's Bed and Breakfast' been confirmed? When will filming begin?"
"Yes, unnie, it's confirmed."
Yoona nodded and looked at Tae-yeon: "Filming will start in January next year. We are currently making preliminary preparations."
"Huh?" Ji Jingyuan interrupted with some surprise, "Is Yoona going to participate in 'Hyori's Bed and Breakfast'? As a regular cast member? Season 2?"
"Hyori's Homestay" is a reality show centered around Lee Hyori and her husband Lee Sang-soon, showcasing the natural joys of their interactions with regular guests and overnight guests.
It started airing in June this year and became an instant hit, averaging around 8% in viewership, making it one of the most popular variety shows of the year. Both its viewership and the topics it generated were very popular.
Of course, besides the innovative program format and comfortable atmosphere, the popularity of the regular guests also played a significant role... The regular guest for the first episode was IU.
The first season ended a while ago and a second season was announced. Unexpectedly, Yoona became a guest in the second season.
"correct."
Yoona responded, instinctively sensing a hint of malice in Ji Jingyuan's tone. She narrowed her eyes and asked defensively, "Is there a problem?"
"Nuna, do you have a new drama to promote?" Ji Jingyuan asked tentatively.
"No, you didn't know?" Lim Yoona rolled her eyes. She didn't believe this person didn't know she hadn't been getting any roles lately.
"So you've transitioned into a comedian?"
"No? Oh, what do you mean?"
"Nunu, what are you going to do?"
Chi Jingyuan shrugged and posed a probing question.
He had originally wanted to ask, "Are you that free?", but after thinking about it, he decided not to say it out of friendship.
"Noona is popular and can go wherever she wants!" Im Yoona finally caught on to Ji Kyung-won's sarcastic tone, rolled her eyes, and retorted angrily.
"Aigoo, talking about popularity in front of our Jingyuan, Yoona, you really are~" Kim Heechul shook his head, but he was clearly stirring things up.
"Hey, Kyungwon, do you know how popular 'Hyori's Bed and Breakfast' is? IU got a lot of advertising deals because of it."
Kim Ki-bum sensed Ji Kyung-won's disdain for the variety show and immediately stepped in to uphold justice: "Yoona's ability to become a regular guest in the second season is a testament to her popularity and status, okay?"
"that is!"
Kim Tae-yeon was also dissatisfied with Ji Kyung-won's attitude. She patted him and then clenched her little fist to cheer on her second maknae: "Yoona, do your best! You must do better than the first season. Noona will definitely support you."
"Fighting!"
…………
"Have all the cars arrived?"
"Do not worry."
"Is everything alright with Zhenji?"
"It's alright, my assistant has already come to pick me up."
After the party ended, the friends said their goodbyes at the entrance of the club. As celebrities, they all had their own assistants, managers, and even girlfriends to pick them up, so it didn't really matter that they had been drinking.
Ji Jingyuan watched as Kim Heechul was picked up by his new girlfriend, whom he called an "annoyingly clingy" person. She leaned against him like a little bird, while Kim Heechul, looking impatient, complained inaudibly as they got into the car.
In a daze, a feeling of envy actually welled up in his heart, and he thought to himself that this jerk really didn't know how to cherish things.
But the moment this thought popped into his head, he felt a sudden pause.
I vaguely remember that after he took Mina to a friend's party, he became the envy of all the men.
Chi Jingyuan couldn't help but fantasize that if the two of them hadn't broken up yet, things might be like this now...
Not right either.
He shook his head rationally.
Even if the two were still dating, Mina wouldn't be able to come pick him up at this point...
As I stepped out of the gate, a gust of cold wind howled past, stinging my exposed cheeks.
Fortunately, having just soaked in the hot spring and rested in the heated room for a while, Chi Jingyuan was full of warmth and refreshed, so he didn't feel cold at all.
After saying goodbye to his friends, Chi Jingyuan watched his assistant slowly approach in a van not far away. Just as he was thinking of walking a little over there, he suddenly felt a cool touch on the tip of his nose.
Upon closer inspection, it turned out that it was snowing.
Although it had already snowed in Gangwon Province, this seems to be the first snowfall of the winter in Seoul this year.
Chi Jingyuan looked up and watched the pure white snowflakes fluttering in the hazy, deep night, falling slowly one by one. He felt that freedom and that new life, and for some reason, his mood seemed to become much more cheerful.
He kept looking up at the falling snow until the van slowly pulled up in front of him. Cui Zhichang looked out the window and let out a soft sweat, which brought him back to his senses.
Chi Jingyuan was about to step forward and get into the car when his phone suddenly vibrated before he could take a step.
He stopped, took it out, and saw it was a text message from Chou Tzu-yu.
"It's so late, haven't you gotten off work yet?"
It was already three in the morning. Chi Jingyuan thought to himself as he clicked to read.
Upon opening it, a photograph immediately catches the eye.
Chou Tzu-yu stood in the open space in front, wearing the long down jacket that celebrities often wear in winter. Perhaps because it was cold, she also put on the hood, and the black collar had fluffy down standing up.
She stretched out her right hand, fingers slightly spread, palm facing up towards the night sky, as if trying to catch something.
It seemed that the snowflakes also favored such a delicate girl. A few fine snowflakes happened to fall and hovered above her fingertips and palms, frozen there as if by magic, and were faithfully recorded by the camera.
The night was as dark as ink, and the light from what appeared to be a television station or a streetlamp shone on her face, highlighting her beautiful profile and illuminating the corners of her mouth, which seemed to hold a smile that wasn't quite fully open.
The whole scene exudes a quiet gentleness, as well as a lively and charming agility, as if it has gently captured the first moment of a winter night and the first snow in this photo.
Chi Jingyuan's eyes lit up slightly upon seeing it. He was momentarily lost in thought, secretly praising the photographer's excellent skills.
This is clearly not something Chou Tzu-yu filmed herself.
Sure enough, as soon as I swiped down, the second photo immediately gave me away.
Unlike the previous beautiful photo of a girl catching snowflakes, this one is a selfie of Chou Tzu-yu. She is holding what appears to be a snowflake she just caught from the sky, showing it to the camera. Her short, silly face is beaming so wide it almost bursts the camera lens, and she's grinning so hard she's showing her front teeth. She looks incredibly goofy.
'It looks awful.'
While making sarcastic remarks, Chi Jingyuan casually clicked to save the two pictures. As he scrolled down, he saw Zhou Ziyu's accompanying emoji and small text:
"It's snowing~"
