The number one playboy on the Peninsula!

Chapter 147: Pure Love is Hard, Songs for Them
"So we're dating, Lim Nayeon?"

Gong Cheng's words made Lin Nayeon's heart beat faster and her cheeks became hotter. The words that hit her heart made her more dizzy than the evaporation of alcohol. She tried to raise her head and her eyes met Gong Cheng's. The lights in the corridor were a little dim, but they could not cover the pair of eyes full of smiles.

This kind of thing shouldn't be a joke played by this stinky hooligan, right?

"Yes or no?" Gong Cheng felt more and more that his new song was very appropriate for the occasion.

"Really? A date?" Lin Nayeon bit her lip, wanting to speak but unable to speak, her eyes a little anxious. "Isn't it a bit too fast?"

She was a little distressed. Why did she, a big star, have to act like a worthless person? Moreover, Gong Cheng's ex-girlfriend, the girl named Zhao Meiyan, was still like a thorn in her heart, gouging at her heart.

"Soon?" Gong Cheng took off Lin Nayeon's white knitted hat and said with a look of reminiscence, "Actually, we should have been dating since the 600 million won."

"If I had known it would be like this, I might as well have returned the 600 million won to you." Lin Nayeon pursed her lips with a wavering heart. Her mind kept flashing through every little detail of their time together, the quarrels, misunderstandings, and the heartbeat at this moment, all of which made her a little dazed and a little scared.

"But...we just debuted and are from the same company. If everyone knew about this, would...?"

Her joyful expression was suppressed, a hint of worry flashing across her eyes. Had her dream come true? But maintaining this dream wasn't easy. Nayeon figured she could let the matter of her ex-girlfriend go for now; after all, they'd broken up, and she was confident she could keep Gong Cheng.

However, the company's dating ban, the members' opinions, and their respective futures made her inevitably a little cautious.

"Forget it..." Gong Cheng shrugged helplessly. This was the third time.

Sun Caiying once, Minato Saki Sana once, the push and pull of three times is too much...

As he played hard to get, Nayeon stood on the stairs and hurriedly grabbed Gong Cheng's wrist. Even if she climbed two more steps, she was still not as tall as the scoundrel in front of her. She stood on tiptoe, clumsily imitating the movements in the TV series, and raised her red lips with a heartfelt kiss.

Be it a prank or a joke, she accepted it.

"I promise."

After rubbing Gong Cheng's cold thin lips for a while, Lin Nayeon put aside the thoughts that made her anxious and worried, and smiled happily, ready to welcome the new year. Happy New Year, it seemed that she was really going to be happy.

She often looked at the boy in front of her and fantasized about being together, which seemed to be slowly coming true.

"Male kiss?" Lin Nayeon called out shyly with a bright smile.

Rabbit idols don't have much experience when it comes to dating.

"Father?" Gong Cheng smiled at her and pursed his lips. The rabbit teeth of this new mother were so sharp that they hurt him.

I still need Mr. Gong’s guidance! I have a long way to go!

"So we're dating?"

"Yes." Gong Cheng smiled and hugged her. The rabbit idol's body was warm and soft. "Don't you want the members to know? Let's keep it secret for now."

"If you think things are progressing quickly, then you can consider it an internship period for the relationship."

He told Lin Nayeon what Little Tiger had said.

"Hmm." Lin Nayeon hugged his waist, raised her head sweetly, and couldn't help but lean forward and pecked the corner of his mouth again: "Thank you for understanding me."

"But how can there be an internship period in a relationship?"

"One more kiss, and I'll make you a regular employee right away." Gong Cheng lowered his head, rubbed his lips against her cheek, and kissed her. In the dim corridor, two shadows clung to each other on the wall.

"Ah!" Lin Nayeon struggled after realizing it belatedly. After her lips and teeth separated, she blushed and whispered, "You wish~"

Then he tugged at the hem of her sweatshirt and pulled it down. Those dishonest hands wrapped around her waist again, their cool temperature chilling her fiery body...

"Okay, let's go back to the dormitory and rest." Gong Cheng stroked her scattered hair and hugged her into the elevator.

In the elevator, Nayeon leaned against Gong Sung's arms, feeling his warmth and security. Her worries gradually faded, replaced by anticipation and longing. How should one approach a relationship? Guess I'll have to ask Zhuge Jisu for advice when I get back.

After all, the man next to me is a veteran. I can't act too badly.

Just like that kiss just now, how could I have ended up with saliva all over his face? It was so embarrassing.

The elevator stopped at Twice's dormitory floor. Lin Nayeon said reluctantly, "Go back and get some rest early. Don't stay up late."

"Yes, dear!" Gong Cheng nodded in assurance and watched Lin Nayeon walk into the dormitory. He didn't turn around and leave until the door closed, then he went upstairs to his own dormitory.

He couldn't help but hum a sigh of relief. After such a long window of separation, he finally had a new girlfriend... Zhao Meiyan's pabo was his ex-girlfriend, and now he was returning to work after an investigation. And what about Son Chaeyoung's little tiger, the little secretary? No, he liked small mineral water bottles the most.

Minatozaki Sana? During the probation period, she is tentatively selected as one of the future fathers!

Back in the dormitory, Gong Cheng lay on the bed, Ming Jingnan's figure appeared in his mind. He heard the phone ringing next to his pillow. He opened it and saw that it was a message from Lin Nayeon, the girl with rabbit teeth.

Nayeon: "I'm very happy today. Good night, my boyfriend."

"Good night. Call me oppa next time we meet." Gong Cheng.

Nayeon: "No! I'm obviously older than you!? (Proud)"

Gong Cheng chuckled twice and casually sent a message to urge this rabbit-toothed girl to go to bed early, otherwise this lively mother would inevitably chat with him until late at night, and he would go on his schedule tomorrow with dark circles under his eyes.

Then, he remembered that it was Zhao Meiyan's pabo's birthday in two days, and opened Zhao Meiyan's chat box again: "Are you asleep? Pabo."

"Good night Chaeyoung, I miss you." This is sent to the little tiger.

"Good night Sana-chan, it's the 211th day since I quit smoking." Sent to Minatozaki Sana.

"Good night mina, I will really help you rank up someday..." Sent to Mingjing Minami.

"Good night, Tzuyu. Is this a Chinese restaurant? I'll go with you to try it next time I don't have any plans." Sent to Chou Tzuyu.

“&…”…

After Gong Cheng finished replying to the messages with red dots one by one, he couldn't help but sigh: "Pure love is so hard~"

As for the news about Bombardment Meteor members, Park Jin-young, Park Chanyeol, and Oh Se-hun, there's no way to respond...

……

The next day, Lin Nayeon happily sat on the sofa in the practice room holding her cell phone. She was looking forward to the next day off and her first date with that stinky hooligan.

"Why are you smiling foolishly?" Yu Jeongyeon asked with a strange look on her face. She looks so happy, are you thinking about a man?
"Nothing." Lin Nayeon shook her head happily. Although she wanted to share this joy with her friend, she still held it back. She was not a big talker. "Let's go downstairs and get some coffee?"

She thought that if she bought him a cup of coffee, she could also get Gong Cheng a glass of orange juice, and the two of them could be alone for a while. It seemed like a good deal!
"Let's go later. Gong Cheng oppa is going to be on the trending search again." Yu Jeongyeon looked at her phone seriously and gestured to wait a while before going downstairs to buy coffee or something. She felt that the company's official website was about to explode due to the delay.

"What hot search?"

Lin Nayeon frowned. "What kind of scandal is this?"

She suddenly became sensitive. After all, she was now Gong Cheng's legitimate mother.

"Oh, what kind of scandal is that? If Gong Sung oppa hears about it, he'll blame you again." Yu Jeongyeon pouted. Her friend was a complete coward, being manipulated by that oppa. "It's Gong Sung oppa's new album announcement."

"He dares!" Lin Nayeon was no longer afraid of Gong Cheng. When she heard Yu Jeongyeon talking about the new album, she took out her mobile phone with some curiosity and browsed the latest announcement issued by the company.

JYP's official website released the first teaser poster for Gong Cheng's comeback. In this photo, Gong Cheng's usual style is full of oil painting, but compared to his previous album, the gray and white background has been transformed into a colorful palette.

Tarot cards are arranged around the poster, forming a circle resembling the Earth. In the center of the poster, surrounded by the tarot cards, a colorful oil painting depicts Gong Cheng's profile. His long, narrow eyelashes cling to his eyelids, casting a subtle shadow in the interplay of light and shadow, like the fluttering wings of a butterfly. His tousled hair, painted by the brush, resembles a vibrant rainbow.

Zooming in on the poster and taking a closer look, the circular tarot cards actually resemble star tracks. The 78 tarot cards, stacked like dominoes, feature 76 cards with their backs facing up, leaving only two facing up. One of these cards is the familiar Minor Arcana, the Three of Swords. The other, the Major Arcana, the Wheel of Fortune, appears slightly raised within the 78-card deck.

The main theme of the card is a massive golden roulette wheel, which appears to slowly rotate, emitting a mysterious and ancient luster. Each ray of light seems to carry the trajectory of fate. Around the wheel, black flames dance vigorously, as if ready to engulf the wheel at any moment. Within the black sea of ​​fire, colorful butterflies dance gracefully, and a blue boat drifts in the "black sea."

"Ah! This oil painting style is so handsome!" Yu Jeongyeon exclaimed in admiration. Why are the designs of this oppa's albums getting more handsome each time?

"Can we use this style for our next preview photo? The visual effect is very eye-catching." Momo Hirai asked curiously. This oil painting style design really touched her heart.

Lin Nayeon ignored the members' exclamations and continued to read the announcement issued by the company.

JYP: Dear fans, our artist Tarot (Gong Cheng) is currently preparing for his first full-length solo album, "Wheel of Fortune & X," which will include 10 songs. The album will be divided into two parts, with two different concepts. The first half, along with the music video, will be released on March 1st, with pre-orders opening on March 15th. The second half, along with the music video, will be released alongside the album on April 1st. Stay tuned!

"Wow, is it split into two parts?" Kim Dahyun's eyes widened. The cover of this teaser poster alone was already quite appealing. It was still the same style as that oppa, but I wondered what the concept of this new album would be? There were actually two possible concepts.

Is that why it is divided into two parts?

For a moment, everyone in Twice started discussing what the concept of Gong Cheng's new album would be.

They weren't the only ones. Just minutes earlier, JYP Entertainment released a teaser poster for Gong Cheng's new album, sending the internet into a frenzy. Fans frantically shared the image, flooding the comment section with messages. Major entertainment forums reposted the post, with netizens and fans poring over the details, excited and curious about the concept behind the new song.

Tarot will return with their first full-length album on March 1st. It's reported that the album will be divided into two parts, though the concept remains unclear. However, this hasn't dampened expectations among netizens, who are eagerly anticipating Tarot's second solo album since her debut.

Bombardment Meteor's disbandment is a reality, and Tarot is currently working on a new solo album...

Can Tarot, after leaving Bombardment Meteor, still break the K-pop album sales legend? Does Gong Cheng, after leaving Bombardment Meteor, still have what it takes to dominate the music industry?

【…】

"Ahhh! Lao Gong's looks are absolutely stunning, and this trailer poster is so impressive. I can't wait to hear the new songs!"

"The oil painting style is so cool, I love it for some reason. I feel like this album is going to be a surprise!"

"Will the concept of the new album also be related to Tarot cards? After all, the name of the flower Tarot is taken from Tarot cards, and the previous album "YDP" with the Three of Swords concept was similar to that... Ah! Oppa is so handsome! Just looking at the poster, he looks like the prince in the Tarot card!!!"

"It's rare for JYP to come up with such an innovative concept. If the concept of this Tarot album is similar to the last Three of Swords, then it will perfectly form a Tarot world, just like what Gong Cheng described in his debut album as 'Nature's Secret Treasure House'..."

"Sisters, the Wheel of Fortune and X in the Tarot represent a brand new beginning, and the boat in the Major Arcana card, to me, is like the philosophical paradox of Theseus's ship. In literature, it metaphorically represents the protagonist's transformation and the perfection of his or her own personality. The colorful butterfly in the Tarot represents rebirth from the cocoon..."

"Shit! Don't be too happy, Arcanas! After the Tarot album is released, don't burn it anymore~"

"Without Bombardment Meteor, Tarot is nothing! Just look at the sales. Don't wait until the album doesn't sell and you find out who's been swimming naked. That would be really funny..."

"Support! Upstairs!"

"I know your mother is ugly, Ah Xi! Bombardment Meteor was also founded by Oppa, okay? Open your eyes and watch! Oppa's sales are definitely more idiotic than all the obscure celebrities you guys are fans of combined!"

"..."

The preview of the new album went smoothly as planned by Gong Cheng, and he didn't pay too much attention to it.

Instead, he was in the composing room, completing the song "Yes or No" which he got inspiration from Lim Nayeon last night. This song will be included in the second half of his first regular album, "Colorful Butterfly".

Open the curtains, it’s sunny in Seoul today.

Like colorful sunshine shining on his face, Gong Cheng thought that the second half of the album, "Colorful Butterfly", was very suitable for his current relationship status. This colorful butterfly was like this beam of colorful sunshine.

The gentle and considerate Jo Miyeon is the colorless and odorless transparent color, the restless Minatozaki Sana is the ambiguous blue, the quirky Son Chaeyoung is the orange, and the lively Lim Nayeon is the pink...

If you think about it carefully, there are still many girls missing to make up for the sunshine shining on his face.

Who will be next?

Gong Cheng gathered his thoughts and hummed a song he had composed earlier. One of the lyrics became the slogan of Bombardment Meteor, 'we need more'.

"Lack of love and lack of sleep~"

After clearing his mind for a while, Gong Cheng picked up his phone and logged into the account he had previously registered with Kim Dae-woo's phone number. The group chat of the executive department of the fan club had been blocked by the leaders of the relevant departments in the group.

The ID is called "Execution Department", and the girl in the deputy department uses a photo of Gong Cheng from high school as her profile picture: "Arkana, please copy and paste and flood the comment sections of major platforms to support Oppa. The latest support messages are as follows."

“It seems like something really big has happened to JYP!!!”

"It's spread all over Asia! I just heard about it too, so I'll just say it straight. Last night, someone was causing a scene downstairs at JYP. They must have been desperate, so they were really violent, smashing windows and kicking doors. The girl was crying so hard that the police couldn't stop her. Someone ran over to see what was going on and heard the girl screaming non-stop!"

"Tarot's first full-length album will be released on March 1st!!!"

"..."

"Puff!" Gong Cheng nearly spit out the tea in his mouth after seeing the last part. Ah Xi! Who came up with this?

Then, he saw that under the guidance of the 'Deputy Minister of the Executive Department', the 'Dragon of the Executive Department' received an honorable commendation.

The Deputy Director of the Executive Department said: "Thank you @Executive Department Dragon for the latest support message! I give you a first-class commendation! I also give you a photo card of Oppa and a copy of his new album. I hope all members will be proud of you and keep up the good work..."

"Liu Zhimin?" Gong Cheng recalled the well-developed SM trainee.

Didn't I tell her to practice hard? How could a kid who wants to debut be busy with this kind of stuff every day? How could she even have the energy to practice?

As the administrator lifted the ban, thousands of "loyalty" messages instantly popped up in the executive department's group chat!
“…” Gong Cheng has thought about the strong cohesion of his fans, but is the current direction of development a little wrong?

Still, it's pretty cute.

So, Gong Cheng opened the document and thought about writing a song for his fans, which could be included in his latest full-length album.

He typed out the song title, "Still with You", which is very romantic to think about.

"Your gentle voice passed by my ears~"

"Please call my name again~"

Gong Cheng pondered over every moment he had with his fans from his debut to the present day, especially those figures he often saw at autograph sessions and fan meetings, who were clearly a group of teenage girls.

When they were at their lowest point, those young faces were cheering crazily for their support. When the JYP building was filled with anti-fans, many Arcanas were so angry that they burst into tears. After Bombardment Meteor took off, they also cried tears of joy and happiness.

"We laughed together and cried together~"

"These pure emotions~"

“Maybe it’s everything to me~”

"That's wonderful." Gong Cheng was grateful for the fans' love, and couldn't help but think of the girl who mustered up the courage to call him on the radio to comfort him. Later, at the book signing event, she really hugged him, just as she had said on the radio.

"In beautiful memories~"

"Even though I'm dancing alone, the rain keeps falling~"

"When the fog dissipates, even if my feet are soaked, I will run towards you~"

"Until then, please hold my hand tightly~"

Gong Cheng sometimes wonders what the meaning of the relationship between idols and fans is. In fact, he didn’t quite understand it at the beginning, but later, with the support of fans, he gradually understood it.

"Even though I know the sun will rise tomorrow~"

"But I wish to turn into a star and stay in your night sky~"

"..."

“still with you~”

After finishing writing the lyrics for "Still with You," Lim Nayeon knocked on the door of the composing room and walked in with a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice.

Judging from his expression, he still looked a little embarrassed, as if he had not yet come to terms with the change of identity from last night.

"Here, I brought it for you."

"Are you writing a song? I hope I'm not disturbing you?"

Lin Nayeon handed the orange juice to Gong Cheng and sat on the sofa somewhat stiffly.

How come dating is even more awkward than before?

Gong Cheng stretched, took the orange juice, looked at her nervous expression and smiled, probably guessing what this girl with rabbit teeth was panicking about.

He understood that it was our first relationship and we had no experience.

After being honest with each other in the future, this embarrassment will gradually disappear, especially for couples who have just started dating, they always want to show their best side to their partner.

"I just finished writing the song. Besides, why bother? We're dating..."

"Why are you so nervous?" Gong Cheng smiled and took a sip of orange juice. He walked over to sit next to Lin Nayeon. He rubbed his face against Lin Nayeon's cheek like an asshole: "A kiss will make you less nervous."

He still likes the free and noisy Rabbit Tooth.

"Ah! What are you doing?" Lin Nayeon looked at the scoundrel's behavior next to her and couldn't help laughing. Her tense body relaxed a lot: "At the company..."

"I don't want to kiss you~"

"Are you tired from practicing today?" Seeing that Lin Nayeon's nervousness had dissipated a lot, Gong Cheng changed the subject. He was not the kind of rubbish whose head was full of pornographic garbage and who kissed and touched people all day long.

"Not tired!" Lin Nayeon looked at him with a smile. She actually wanted to kiss him like last night, but after all, they were in the company! It would be bad if someone found out. Then, she muttered a little embarrassedly, "Seeing you doesn't make me tired anymore..."

As she spoke, she looked sly, secretly raised her eyelids, and glanced at Gong Cheng's expression.

Kim Ji-soo! Such corny words! They better work!
"..." Gong Cheng coughed twice while drinking orange juice. Who did he learn these rabbit teeth from? So disgusting!
Really are!
"What's wrong? What do you mean?" Lin Nayeon added with a red face! But she was a little unhappy. Why do you look like that? Shouldn't you be happy?
