Chapter 1385 MO?
Although the online criticism is intense, the idols themselves, such as EXO and Ji Kyung-won, don't seem to have much time to pay attention to it.
Because there was absolutely no waiting time, the MMA came the day after MAMA ended.
"...You XO fans are still amazing."
The backstage corridor of the Seoul Gocheok Sky Dome, the venue for this year's MMA, was bustling with staff wearing name tags. Near the vending machine convenience store, Ji Kyung-won and Jung Eun-ji had just finished shopping and were strolling back.
"When it comes to fan battles, EXO's fans have never lost."
After chatting, Jung Eun-ji mentioned the online feud that had been making headlines in the music industry these past two days, and couldn't help but exclaim, "It's only been less than two days, and they've already gained the upper hand, suppressing the fans of Twice and Wanna One."
After saying that, she clicked her tongue and gave her opinion with obvious bias: "Still so domineering."
"Not polite!"
Chi Jingyuan glanced at her with deadpan eyes: "Our Alice is polite enough..."
Don't you find it funny to say that yourself?
"Jung Eunji-ssi, it seems you have a lot of issues with us EXO-Ls?"
"Because Apink has also been criticized before." Jung Eunji seemed to recall some unpleasant memories, and she gritted her teeth slightly.
"When?" Chi Jingyuan asked, puzzled.
"Hahaha, when do your fans in the music industry ever decide when to hurl insults? They just oppose you because they don't like you, you bastards~"
The Busan woman laughed loudly, as if she were telling some absurd joke: "But the time you insulted us the most was at the end of 14, don't you remember? Your winter special clashed with our comeback. Our 'LUV' was doing very well at the time, but when we were on a music show winning number one, your song 'Let It Be' took away one of our numbers."
Even after all these years, Jung Eun-ji still gets angry when she talks about it: "You guys stole our spot, and yet your fans still insulted us, insulting us so badly that we couldn't even fight back!"
"what?"
Upon hearing her accusation, Chi Jingyuan blinked innocently and said, "I... I've completely forgotten about this."
"Sure enough, perpetrators who have hurt others are the ones who easily forget what they have done."
He responded to Chi Jingyuan with a big eye roll.
Upon hearing this, Chi Jingyuan couldn't help but smack his lips... He had a feeling that the woman wasn't talking about that specific issue, but rather was making veiled criticisms and implying something else entirely.
"Aunt Anilha... By the way, isn't your new drama about to start filming? Have you joined the crew yet?"
Feeling somewhat uneasy about the topic, Chi Jingyuan stepped aside, nodded and greeted the two staff members who brushed past him, and then wisely chose to change the subject.
"I'm getting ready to join the crew tomorrow." Jung Eun-ji nodded and bowed in return. "And you?"
"What a coincidence, me too~" Chi Jingyuan shrugged. The crew of "Peeping" officially started filming the day before yesterday. The crew has been communicating with him every day to confirm his return time. They have already agreed that he will definitely be there tomorrow morning.
However, I heard that the first episode of "The Spy" is currently being filmed. Because filming has just started, the actors and crew are not cooperating very well, and the progress is slow. They are still in the adjustment phase.
"By the way, the music video for 'Horizon of Events' is finished. I'll send it to you to take a look."
After turning the corner and arriving at the artists' dressing room area, Ji Kyung-won brought up the important matter.
“I haven’t been on camera much, so what’s there to see… Okay, let’s take a look anyway.” Jung Eunji originally wanted to be reserved, but she changed her mind after only a second.
Although she didn't appear much in the music video, she really loved "Horizon of Events." She loved the melody, the lyrics, and the theme, especially the song's healing quality and subtle literary charm, which she found wonderful.
"Don't say that. I've seen the finished product. Some shots are really great; they captured a really good feel for you."
"Qingjia? Hmm, then send it to me quickly... By the way, the audio will be released on the 22nd, right?"
"Correct."
"Will you perform music?"
"No way, we were all filming back then, how could we have time... Besides, it's just a subway song, why would we really compete with those younger actors for a spot?"
After speaking, Chi Jingyuan paused for two seconds and added, "But maybe I'll be on some music program. There has to be at least a live stage, otherwise it would be a real shame."
“No problem, I think so too.” Jung Eun-ji gave an OK sign: “If you want to be on the show, just let me know in advance so I can ask the crew for leave.”
"it is good."
Chi Jingyuan nodded in agreement, but as soon as he finished speaking, he slowed his pace slightly.
Just then, a figure walked towards them from three or four meters away. The figure was well-proportioned, wearing a white coat and a light-colored hair clip on his long black hair.
It's Sana Minatozaki.
Jung Eunji also saw the other person, her expression changed immediately, and she slowed her pace in tacit agreement, while subtly glancing at Ji Kyung-won beside her.
Sana Minatozaki, who had been walking with her head down, also saw Ji Kyung-won and the other person. Jung Eun-ji saw it very clearly, and at that moment, the Japanese girl's eyes lit up, and the corners of her mouth naturally began to turn up, as if she was about to show a beautiful and sweet smile.
However, after these reflexive reactions, Sana Minatozaki seemed to realize something in an instant. The corners of her mouth that were curled up slightly stiffened, and she clearly restrained her expression. Her bright eyes also dimmed slightly, and the emotions inside them subsided.
"Oppa~ Unnie~"
Quickly managing her emotions, Sana Minatozaki flashed a standard smile and bowed to Ji Kyung-won and Jung Eun-ji from a few meters away.
Then she looked at Chi Jingyuan, opened her mouth slightly as if she wanted to say something, but after hesitating for a second, she pursed her lips again, bowed slightly to Chi Jingyuan, and turned to walk into the lounge next door.
Chi Jingyuan watched her walk into the lounge, nodding and offering a polite smile throughout.
Although the encounter between the two was very brief, Jung Eun-ji took in all the changes in the Japanese girl's expression and emotions. After Minatozaki Sana left, she couldn't help but nudge Ji Kyung-won, who was staring blankly at the door of the lounge, with her elbow:
"You haven't apologized yet?"
"what?"
Coming to his senses, Chi Jingyuan turned and looked at her in surprise.
"I saw your collaboration stage at MAMA, you two seemed to have great chemistry and be very close, I thought..."
Jung Eunji gestured with her lip in that direction: "So, after all this time, you still haven't apologized to them?"
With her shrewdness, it would be strange if she didn't notice that the girl had an emotional problem.
"Apologize? Apologize to whom?"
Chi Jingyuan heard it, but pretended not to understand.
"What do you think?"
Jung Eunji looked at him with a mocking expression, not playing along with his act at all: "What I just said was indeed true."
"Hahahaha, didn't I already say before that I would never apologize?"
"Remember your words, our Jingyuan."
…………
Jung Eunji returned to her own dressing room, while Ji Kyungwon walked to the door of EXO's dressing room, but just as he was about to go in, he stopped and looked at the dressing room next to him.
The door was ajar, with the name 'red velvet' written on it in black letters on a white background.
After thinking it over, Chi Jingyuan changed his mind, pushed open the door, and went inside.
Upon entering, Red Velvet's dressing room was much smaller than EXO's, and it felt rather deserted. Several assistants were sitting in a corner chatting, while none of the members were there.
Fortunately, Bae Joo-hyun was Ji Kyung-won's target—she was sitting at the table, writing something with her head down.
As soon as Chi Jingyuan entered, his assistant saw him. Just as she was about to greet him, Chi Jingyuan waved his hand, telling them to make themselves at home.
The female assistants glanced at each other but didn't say a word, continuing to chat quietly as if they hadn't seen anything... How strange! They were tired of seeing this scene; everyone knew who it was.
Standing next to Bae Joo-hyun, Ji Kyung-won looked down at her and saw that she was writing something in a notebook, but the words were too small to read. He couldn't help but lower his head and move closer.
Bae Joo-hyun was writing very carefully and didn't notice Ji Kyung-won, but as he leaned closer, his special aura and scent instantly alerted her.
She furrowed her brows and glanced at him, but when she realized it was him, her brows relaxed. She didn't look up or say anything, and continued writing, pretending not to have seen him.
However, a smile clearly appeared at the corners of her mouth, and her hand moved a little lighter as she wrote.
"...What are you writing?"
After being ignored, Chi Jingyuan couldn't help but speak first.
"Write some lyrics~"
Not at all surprised by Ji Jingyuan's sudden voice, Bae Joo-hyun didn't even look up and said with some pride, "This time, 'Kingdom Come' has been loved and recognized by many fans, and many fans hope that I will try more... So now if I have any ideas, I will write them down."
As she spoke, she quickly scribbled two more lines on the notebook.
"You've really gotten addicted to writing?" Hearing her words, Chi Jingyuan smiled with slight surprise.
I initially thought that Bae Joo-hyun was just doing the lyrics as a hobby, or that it was just because "Kingdom Come" was a different song.
Unexpectedly, she seems genuinely interested and wants to continue trying... It seems that the recognition and encouragement from fans can indeed generate strong motivation.
"No?"
But Ji Jingyuan seemed to disbelieve her words. Bae Joo-hyun rolled her eyes at him for the first time, swung her legs, snorted softly, and lowered her head to continue writing.
"..."
Chi Jingyuan chuckled, said nothing, and tilted his head to look at her.
Bae Joo-hyun tilted her head slightly, the strands of hair from her tied-up bun swaying gently in front of her forehead. She held a ballpoint pen in her right hand, her delicate, pale fingers gripping it tightly as she wrote stroke by stroke on the notebook. Because of her concentration, her lips unconsciously pouted slightly.
This doesn't look like a popular idol writing lyrics. Ji Kyung-won looks like a middle school student doing homework.
"..."
She was engrossed in her work, but the person next to her and his undisguised gaze made it impossible to concentrate. After pretending to write for a while, Bae Joo-hyun couldn't help but look up at Ji Kyung-won with a disgruntled expression: "What are you looking at?"
"What do you think?" Chi Jingyuan tilted his head and looked at her, then gestured with his lips.
Of course it's about you, who else would it be about?
Otherwise, why don't you read the lyrics you wrote?
"I won't show you~"
But Bae Joo-hyun seemed more concerned with the lyrics she had written. She pursed her lips, closed the notebook in her hand, and waved her hand dismissively.
"Anyway, I've already seen it~"
Chi Jingyuan, however, seemed a bit shameless, mimicking Bae Joo-hyun's tone and voice in a cheeky, high-pitched voice: "You're hiding it now, but won't you still show it to me later? 'Take a look at how I wrote these few sentences~'"
"Yeah~"
Bae Joo-hyun blushed instantly, and her already dangling legs kicked out.
"That's all you have to do."
Chi Jingyuan seemed to have anticipated this, and with a quick movement, he dodged Bae Joo-hyun's attack, grabbing the young lady's leg and saying smugly, "A Saint Seiya won't fall for the same move twice."
Before he could finish speaking, another foot lashed out with lightning speed, landing directly on his hand and leaving a dark shoe print.
"Haha~" Seeing that Chi Jingyuan had been humiliated, Bae Joo-hyun immediately covered her mouth and laughed triumphantly.
"Yeah~"
Chi Jingyuan felt his face turn slightly red, a fierce look appearing on his face. He gritted his teeth, took two steps closer, and stood in front of Bae Joo-hyun. He then began to tickle her armpits and the ticklish spots on her waist.
Having been up together for so long, how could he not know Bae Joo-hyun's weaknesses?
She knew the girl was a little ticklish.
"Hahaha~ Stop tickling me, stop, haha~"
When Ji Jingyuan tickled her like that, Bae Joo-hyun immediately curled up into a ball, unable to stop laughing. She tried to stop him with her hands and feet, but after a while, her face turned red and she was a little weak.
"Hey, stop right there, hahaha~"
"Jingyuan~"
The assistants nearby just watched as the two people, seemingly oblivious to everyone else, exchanged glances, unsure whether they were joking or flirting.
Ji Jingyuan, who had the upper hand, was not going to let it go easily. He only stopped after Bae Joo-hyun begged for mercy. Just as he was about to stand in the victor's position and give a speech, a series of footsteps approached from afar, and the door to the lounge was pushed open.
"Unnie~ Hey, Kyungwon's here too~"
Kang Seulgi led the way in, and after greeting Bae Joohyun, she saw Ji Kyungwon next to her, which didn't surprise her.
Following behind Kang Seulgi were Lim Nayeon and Yoo Jeongyeon. The two girls were slightly surprised to see Ji Kyung-won, but they quickly greeted him warmly.
"Oppa~"
"Oppa's here too."
"Hello~"
Ji Jingyuan smiled and responded to them. They were all wearing casual clothes, but they had already put on makeup. Up close, it looked a little exaggerated, especially Twice's blush, which was very obvious... but it was indeed exquisite, and they had a strong idol vibe.
He wasn't surprised that the two Twice members were here, because due to their collaboration, Kang Seulgi and Yoo Jeongyeon had become very close friends, and they were also very close to Lim Nayeon.
Lim Nayeon is also well-liked and has a good relationship with Bae Joo-hyun. She often visits Red Velvet.
The group greeted each other with smiles. Although Lim Nayeon and Yoo Jeongyeon noticed that Bae Joo-hyun's face was a little red and she was slightly sweating, they were puzzled but didn't ask any further questions.
Unfortunately, they arrived two minutes late and missed the exciting part.
Upon seeing Ji Kyung-won, Lim Na-yeon and Yoo Jeong-yeon chatted with him warmly for a few minutes. Then, the four women naturally huddled together to chat, and Ji Kyung-won proactively pulled up a stool and sat down next to them, listening to the four girls chattering away.
What can female idols of this age talk about when they get together?
Gossip, scandals, nail art, fashion...
That's so boring.
After listening for a while, Chi Jingyuan felt like yawning. Looking at the group of people chatting enthusiastically, with Lim Nayeon's front teeth never closing and even Bae Joo-hyun talking non-stop, he couldn't help but complain in his heart.
Even if you just talk about the Long Sword's Rising Dragon attack or the timing of the Great Sword's charge attack, Chi Jingyuan can always chime in with a few words.
If all else fails, asking about Pokémon type matchups is also an option.
Unfortunately, they talked about things he had absolutely no interest in. Even when they wentssiped, it was all meaningless and boring, nothing like what Park Chanyeol knew or talked about.
These women are so boring.
If Mina were here, uh...
For some reason, Chi Jingyuan thought of her again, the girl who would always take the initiative to find topics that interested him most, and who could talk to him about games and anime without any generation gap.
Just as Chi Jingyuan felt he couldn't participate and was about to say goodbye and leave, his phone suddenly rang.
"...Because it's raining, I thought of you."
The phone ringtone, "It's still raining, that's why," sounded abruptly, interrupting the girls who were chatting enthusiastically, and all their eyes turned to look at them.
Chi Jingyuan glanced at the caller ID; it was Kim Tae-yeon's. Without thinking much, he answered the call directly.
The call had barely connected, and after only a couple of sentences, his brow furrowed suddenly, and his tone became serious:
"MO?"
"Was there a car accident?"
