The number one playboy on the Peninsula!

Chapter 160 Your stockings are snagged

In the practice room of Class A, Huang Lizhi had just finished practicing and took a sip of drink.

The practice teacher hurried in. She came to the center of the practice room and clapped her hands: "Children, stop for a moment."

"Tarot is currently selecting trainees for the music video for the second half of their new album..."

She explained her purpose simply and clearly, and for a moment, the five or six trainees in the practice room were shocked. Huang Lizhi put down his coffee and took in the news completely unprepared.

Among JYP's trainees, there are news about the debut of a new girl group every week, but the authenticity is not high. Every time the news comes out, everyone will panic. However, the exact news will only be revealed to their trainees by their teachers in Class A. For example, the shooting of Tarot's MV requires trainees to appear, but it still feels like a sudden whim, leaving people completely unprepared.

"There are also students from Class B this time. In short, all good-looking students will participate in this audition..."

"Pdnim is here too. He'll check on your practice results. Everyone should be prepared..."

After the training teacher finished the announcement, the trainees immediately started to discuss among themselves: "Is it Tarot senior's MV?"

“Didn’t Yeji film this once last year?”

"Tarot-senpai! It would be worth it if I could film his music video even if I couldn't debut!"

"What are you thinking! If you really shoot the music video, you will definitely debut!"

……

"After you finish this comeback, please cooperate with the company to shoot more materials, Xiao Cheng."

In one of the company's larger practice rooms, Park Jin-young sat on the sofa, chatting with Gong Sung. He had already assigned his subordinates to recruit trainees, and they were likely to be from Class A or Class B, the ones the company had high hopes for.

Gong Cheng’s MV is also an opportunity for trainees to gain huge exposure.

"Materials? Honestly, I don't know what to shoot, Brother Zhenying. You're on the set and in the composing studio every day. Fans will find it boring, right?" Gong Cheng took a sip of orange juice and replied boredly.

As an artist who debuted as a solo, he seems to have not filmed much material from his debut to now. After all, he is not a large group like Twice or EXO, with many members, and everything he does will be interesting.

"Huh? Are you kidding me, you little brat? Fans will be happy as long as they see your face. How can you find it boring?" Park Jin Young said unhappily. Thinking of the comments from Akanas under JYP's official website, he wanted to burn JYP down.

It's because there are too few materials about Gong Cheng and activities in which he is active in the fans' sight. When he debuted, he said that he would meet more often, but after nearly a year, there have been only two fan meetings, which is pitifully few.

The most frequent times he appeared in the public eye were during last year's Bombardment Meteor promotion period and the year-end awards ceremony.

"If you don't mind, I'll arrange for a VJ to follow you and film your materials and work routine. Also, after Lay returns to Seoul next month, I've discussed with Lee Soo Man and the others that we can film Bombardment Meteor's group variety show."

"And they also said that since Bombardment Meteor formed, they haven't had a single group variety show, except for the album highlights for 'Fireworks are eternal'. Isn't that a bit of a shame?"

Park Jin-young was talking about Gong Cheng's recent work arrangements, and then, noticing the boy's absent-minded expression, he sighed, "I can't have fans squatting in Gangnam's major clubs every day to meet you, can I?"

He was somewhat helpless about this. There was a common rumor on The Peninsula that if you wanted to see Tarot, you could just hang out at the major clubs in Gangnam and you were guaranteed to see one.

"I know, bro. Besides, it's not that I don't want to shoot. It's mainly because after joining JYP, where do I find the time, bro?" Gong Cheng pouted slightly in complaint, then suddenly remembered the included songs and said speechlessly, "Where are the included songs? I still produced them myself... Bro, do I really have time to shoot the material?"

"So, I'm going to assign you a VJ. You can do your thing and he can do his." Park Jin Young smiled a little guilty. The company had been preparing for the song collection, but the boy in front of him had very high standards, and he was powerless to do anything.

After a short chat, Bombardment Meteor's group variety show was finalized. Gong Cheng didn't resist much, as the previous material was too scarce due to his busy schedule. For example, Twice has been filming and holding countless group variety shows and fan events since their debut, over a year, and the schedule is incredibly intense.

"pdnim, Tarot-senpai..."

A few moments later, several trainee instructors walked in with about twenty to thirty trainees. Compared to other agencies, JYP's trainee population hasn't been very large in the past two years. Gong Cheng had heard Son Chaeyoung mention that JYP's trainee classes typically have eight or nine trainees.

Each class is also ranked according to their monthly assessment results, with a ranking system like A, B, and C. The trainees in Class A are usually the ones the company is very optimistic about. Whenever the company has a new debut project, they will select candidates from among them, which is equivalent to a reserve force.

However, Gong Cheng had never been interested in this. I heard that SM had a lot of trainees. Out of hundreds of trainees, maybe only one or two would make it to debut?

"Huang Lizhi?"

Gong Cheng took a sip of orange juice and looked at the girl standing at the front of the trainee group. He had worked with Hwang Yeji on the YDP album music video before, and it was pretty good.

This little girl was his first choice for the MV this time, but he didn't expect that Park Jin Young would insist on making such a big fuss and bringing in so many trainees. So what about the children who were not selected?
Wouldn't that make me the bad guy?

Park Jin Young stood up and walked in front of the trainees, still with that excited attitude, saying some big words like "You will be the next one to debut."

"Daxian, why are you here?"

Gong Cheng glanced at Kim Da-hyun as she walked in. Normally, debuted artists wouldn't often visit the trainee section. For example, this was his first time on the trainee floor since joining JYP.

"Come and join in the fun."

Kim Da Hyun smiled at the trainees who greeted her with a businesslike smile, then came over to Gong Sung and explained, "PDnim, I want to check on the trainees' training results."

As he spoke, his businesslike smile became more sincere.

Gong Cheng nodded while looking at Doufu's smile, and suddenly realized that this girl who debuted by dancing the eagle dance, in addition to being funny in front of the camera and quiet in private, has another side, and she is quite proud.

"My blood, sweat, and tears~"

As the speakers in the practice room gradually started to sound up.

Following their order, the trainees from Class A began their performance under the watchful eyes of pdnim and two seniors. Their deft dance moves showed they'd practiced the choreography for this song numerous times. Hwang Yeji, center stage, performed with ease.

"A new ace trainee?" Kim Da-hyun said with a smile. After Twice's debut, the trainee who joined JYP last year gradually became a new and famous trainee in the company.

Gong Cheng smiled but said nothing. Whether you're an ace trainee or a bottom-ranked trainee, if your goal is to debut, then before your debut, there's no difference.

"Oh, Oppa, the unnies asked me to tell you about the secret base tonight." Kim Da Hyun patted Gong Cheng's shoulder and relayed the members' instructions. Everyone was excited for the big release of this oppa's new album.

……

At night, in addition to the other members responsible for purchasing food and drinks, Ming Jingnan and Zhou Ziyu were the first to arrive at Gong Cheng's dormitory.

The members decided not to give the position of head chef tonight to Gong Cheng, but to each show off their skills. However, this was also because Gong Cheng clearly told them that he was too lazy to cook tonight.

"Mina-chan, Tzuyu, you're here."

Gong Cheng sat on the carpet in front of the sofa, playing with the controller that Ming Jingnan had placed there earlier. It was quite fun. But when he thought of Ming Jingnan's 'stealing' of his butter, his face turned a little unnatural.

He put down the controller and walked to the door to take the bags of snacks from Zhou Ziyu's hand. He saw that Ming Jingnan had taken off his shoes as usual, and then took off his socks and stuffed them into his shoes.

Fortunately, after Gong Cheng's several lessons, Ming Jingnan will no longer throw socks in the room casually, so as to avoid causing any bad misunderstandings.

However, when he saw Ming Jingnan walking barefoot on the floor, Gong Cheng's brows twitched. He put the snacks in his hand on the dining table, turned back to the shoe cabinet at the door, and found Ming Jingnan's slippers, which were little penguin-shaped cotton slippers.

He carried his cotton slippers and followed Ming Jingnan helplessly. He waited until she sat down on the sofa and picked up the handle before throwing the cotton slippers on the carpet and said, "Put on your shoes."

Ming Jingnan looked at him in surprise, then put on her slippers embarrassedly.

After the last misunderstanding, Gong Cheng finally knew about her habit of not wearing socks. Every time she came here, this guy would stare at her feet to see if she was wearing socks...

Zhou Ziyu's gloomy face turned even darker when she saw the interaction between the two.

She pursed her lips and sat on the sofa as if nothing had happened, but her little face couldn't hide the depressed expression.

What the hell! You don’t even say a word to me! You care so much about Mina!

cut~
You guys act like a couple...

Gong Cheng took out a few cans of room temperature cola and handed them to Ming Jingnan and Zhou Ziyu. When he saw the dark expression on the face of this good sister, he couldn't help but wonder, is it because her skin color is dark, or is she in a bad mood?

Zhou Ziyu opened the pull ring of the Coke and shook her slippers depressedly.

Gong Cheng thought this good sister was probably in a bad mood, so he nudged her shoulder and started jokingly: "Tzuyu, do you know why Mina has to wear shoes?"

Zhou Ziyu pursed her lips. Why is this guy still jumping up and down? Is he thinking I'm just dough?

"Are you worried that unnie will catch a cold and are you concerned about unnie?"

She said sullenly, then glanced at Mina who was playing with the controller on the sofa, with a nervous expression on her face. She felt weird in her heart for a moment, and in short, she was in a bad mood!
"No." Gong Cheng gave her a surprised look, then laughed and joked, "Because Mina has sweaty feet. If she doesn't wear socks and walks on the floor barefoot, it's easy to scratch Oppa's floor, and then we have to clean it up, which is so troublesome!"

"So, you have to wear slippers!"

Hearing this, Ming Jingnan's face froze. She twisted her fair neck and stared straight at Gong Cheng's playful face. Her cold eyes made her wish she could skin him alive and cut him into pieces, just like the male protagonist in the game of butter who failed to pass the level!
"Sweaty feet?" Zhou Ziyu opened her mouth in surprise. Isn't sweaty feet just smelly? Feet that sweat a lot will stink. "How is that possible, Oppa? Mina's feet don't stink... Besides, how can you say a girl has sweaty feet... That's so rude."

"And you haven't touched it, so how would you know?"

She looked at Gong Cheng beside her with a questioning look, but her tense little face relaxed a lot.

"I guess. You must sweat a lot after running so many trips every day." Gong Cheng said vaguely, and then his eyes looked at him.

Ming Jingnan angrily threw off the slippers on her feet. The little penguin cotton slippers lay twisted on the carpet, and her pair of white and tender feet curled up her toes tightly.

You can see that Mina is quite unhappy.

"It's okay, Oppa. It depends on your physical condition." Zhou Ziyu pursed her lips and took a sip of Coke. She wanted to laugh, but seeing her sister's expression that was about to lose her temper, she didn't dare to laugh out loud.

"Do you want to play?" Ming Jingnan stared at Gong Cheng and shook the controller in her hand. Suddenly, she straightened her legs and kicked him in the leg with resentment, with considerable force... Sweaty feet? Don't you know whether your feet are sweaty or not?

Don't accuse people like this!

"OK." Gong Cheng nodded, and seeing Ming Jingnan kicking him again, he quickly stretched out his big hand, grasped her white and tender little foot, and smiled at her: "Mi, Nai, it was just a joke, Mina-chan, why are you holding a grudge like that?"

As he said that, he loosened his hand and let Ming Jingnan's foot go.

"Serves you right~" Zhou Ziyu said on behalf of her sister, who told you to talk nonsense. It's a good thing that sister didn't kick you to death.

Mingjing Nan was speechless at this guy's shamelessness. He was taken advantage of again. How dare you? He just touched my feet again. Sweaty feet? You were so happy touching them! Putting them in your mouth and getting them stained with saliva, that's what sweaty feet are!
"Da da da~ We're back!"

Gong Cheng had just sat down to start a game with Ming Jingnan when Lim Nayeon's voice came from outside the door. The other seven people walked in in a mighty procession, each holding a bag of food, drinks, and so on.

Gong Cheng waved to the rabbit idol and the members, staring intently at the game on the screen and operating the controller.

Let them do whatever they want. Anyway, they have agreed to cook for themselves or order takeout tonight, and he will only be responsible for eating, drinking and having fun. However, he still prefers to order takeout. After all, the cooking skills of those who are the loudest are hard to describe.

"Dead again..."

"Can you please focus a little bit."

Looking at the game screen that said "GG," Ming Jingnan gripped the controller tightly and glanced at the absent-minded person beside her. She followed Gong Cheng's gaze and realized that his gaze ended at the small foot folded under her legs...

Mingjing Nan's face couldn't help but heat up. This was the first time he saw someone with better aim than him. "Does it look good?"

She muttered something in annoyance, but her voice was pitifully small.

But Gong Cheng still heard it, and he raised his eyebrows: "It looks good, black suits you very well."

The black manicure paired with the delicate white arch of the foot makes people...ah, it's indescribable.

"..." Ming Jingnan put down the controller, quickly bent over to pick up the little penguin slippers on the ground, and put them on her feet. Then she looked around the room at the members who were busy working, and then she blushed and said hesitantly: "You..."

"Foot fetish?"

"No, what nonsense!" Gong Cheng looked away with a shudder. This wasn't the first time someone had asked him that question. He stared intently at the screen and started another game: "Love You."

"I don't want to play anymore." Ming Jingnan threw down the controller with hot cheeks, smoothed the hair by his ears, stood up and walked towards the busy members.

"Let's make purple next time, Mina-chan." Gong Cheng controlled the game character and said with a smile: "Purple is very charming and suits you."

He felt that with Ming Jingnan's charming temperament, purple manicure might be more suitable for her?
Mingjing Nan's figure paused...

"..."

At the dinner table, the ten members of Twice raised their glasses, their tipsy eyes filled with anticipation for tomorrow.

"I wish Twice can reach the top!"

Gong Cheng held up his glass and began to toast with a hearty laugh. Every member had to come; there was no way to avoid it. Besides, this was his heartfelt blessing.

"Hehe! Definitely!" Nayeon grinned as she sat next to Gong Cheng, her smile causing her to lean in closer. She had heard Gong Cheng mention that Bombardment Meteor had expanded to seven people.

This year's comeback is also to reach the top. If you think about it carefully, the two top groups' faces dating each other, hehe, it's a perfect match!

"I wish Oppa to become the best solo artist."

This is Sun Chaeyoung's blessing.

【Tarot's latest romance...】

【…】

On March 3rd, amidst a wave of public outcry, Gong Cheng's name appeared in numerous trending searches. The current Peninsula scene seemed to be reminiscent of last year, with Tarot as the sole voice. Many fans and media outlets were eagerly anticipating the release of the Billboard Hot 100 chart update on March 8th.

Inside JYP Gong Cheng's practice room.

Gong Cheng put down his phone, feeling somewhat excited as well. However, he wasn't focused on the Billboard Hot 100 rankings, but on a date he had tonight.

And Minatozaki Sana.

"Why are you here?" Gong Cheng glanced at the girl, Huang Lizhi, who was standing timidly outside the practice room door.

"I'm here to thank you, senior." Huang Lizhi held two hot drinks, one milk tea and one orange juice. She handed the orange juice to the company's most popular artist, her expression and posture more reserved than their previous meeting.

There's no way, this senior is even more popular than the last time we met.

"Thank you?" Gong Cheng took the orange juice with some confusion, waved his hand, and signaled her not to be nervous and to sit down and chat.

"Yes, the company has already told me that I'll be in senior's music video this time." Huang Lizhi bowed politely. From what the training teacher had said this morning, the senior was very satisfied with their previous collaboration, so they had essentially chosen the candidate and handed this opportunity to him. Being able to appear in such a popular artist's music video would bring her a lot of exposure. It could be said that as long as she could survive the company's new girl group's debut plan, she would be in a good position.

Then she will definitely be the next person to debut.

"What's there to be thankful for? I just think you're a good fit." Gong Cheng interrupted and took a sip of orange juice, which was heated and tasted quite good. Then she looked at the girl in front of her with a face resembling a fox and said with a smile, "Lizhi, are you afraid of me?"

"Before, when you gossiped about me at the company, you weren't like this, haha."

"I didn't. It was you who asked me, senior." Huang Lizhi retorted quickly. When he thought of the scenes of their previous meetings and chats, his slender fox eyes narrowed into slits.

"So, are there any rumors about me in the company lately?" Gong Cheng quipped, opening the conversation. He wasn't in a hurry to tell her about the music video shoot, as he hadn't yet finalized the specific plan and the song itself.

To be honest, the workload this month is still very heavy.

"Aren't rumors about seniors everywhere?" Huang Lizhi took a sip of milk tea and remembered the jealous looks of his classmates in the practice room this morning when the training teacher informed him who would be shooting the MV for the senior in front of him.

She felt very uncomfortable, but also very relieved. If she hadn't been chosen to shoot the MV, she would probably have cast jealous glances at others like everyone else.

"This album is really great, senior! In the practice room, whenever we take a break, we play songs from your new album, and so does the cafe downstairs! Oh my god, this is really great!"

"I wish I could be as popular as my seniors in the future! Or even as popular as Twice's seniors..."

"It's okay! One glass of orange juice a day from now on, I'll protect you!" Gong Cheng smiled proudly. It's not bad to have a little follower in the company! However, he is really optimistic about Huang Lizhi. During the practice in the practice room that day, his dancing was very good in all aspects.

Most importantly, in the K-pop world, no matter which agency, good looks are always a plus! Hwang Yeji's face is incredibly recognizable. And Park Jin-young debuted like a zoo, with a rabbit, a penguin, and so on.

Fox will also make his debut, right?
"Senior, are you close to Dahyun?" Huang Lizhi asked curiously. When he was with pdnim that day, he could see that Twice's Kim Dahyun seemed to have a good relationship with this senior.

After all, they are just teenagers. Once they get rid of their restraint, they will smile happily.

"Daxian? We are very close. Why do you ask that?" Gong Cheng remembered the day in the practice room when Kim Daxian smiled at the trainees in a businesslike manner.

Huang Lizhi glanced outside the door and gossiped, "Actually, besides the rumors about you, senior, there are also quite a few rumors about Twice's seniors in the company. But compared to them, they're nothing. They're all about who has a crush on who."

"However, I heard from other trainees that Dahyun is a proud child. She is very nice to friends she likes, but it is difficult to get along with people she doesn't know well kkkkk~"

"It's like this." Gong Cheng bit his orange juice straw and recalled the scene of his first meeting with Kim Da Hyun. He laughed dumbly: "When I first met Da Hyun, Ah Xi! That business smile looked so perfunctory, didn't it?"

"But, it's just like you said. Once you get to know him, he turns out to be a very good person, very loyal!"

Kim Da-hyun, Private First Class! A good soldier!
"Yes, the seniors from Twice seem to be very nice. I met senior Tzuyu last time and she even said hello to me." Huang Lizhi drank a sip of milk tea with a bit of pride and shared his training experience in JYP.

"Senior, I'm going back to practice first. I'll treat you to a meal some other day. Don't refuse."

After chatting for a while, Huang Lizhi stood up with a hot drink in her hand and said goodbye. She came here specifically to thank this senior for giving her the opportunity to participate in the MV shooting, and the thank-you gift was the glass of orange juice.

At the moment, she doesn't have anything worth giving as a gift.

"OK." Gong Cheng waved his hand with a smile. He liked having dinner with young and pretty girls. It made him feel that life was wonderful.

……

In the afternoon, Gong Cheng in the composition room hung up the phone with Park Chanyeol, put on his headphones and continued to work on the arrangement of the new song.

Park Chanyeol and Oh Sehun have been quite active lately, often getting together for dinner. However, he has a date with that puppy tonight, and he clearly distinguishes between friendship and love.

For the second half of the album "Wheel of Fortune&X," "Colorful Butterfly," Gong Cheng envisioned it to be filled with colorful, dreamy bubbles, just like the concept itself. Whether it was the songs or the final music video shoot, the highlight was color.

Currently, the songs expected to be included in the second half are "Still with You", "Yes or No", and "Shape of You" which is currently being written.

Gong Cheng's arrangement of "Shape of You" features a classic tropical house beat. Tropical house, a representative style of fresh, minimalist electronic music, only gained widespread popularity in 2010. Its sound evokes images of romantic summertime elements like coconut trees, beaches, and ocean breezes, fitting the concept of the second half of his album.

"My friends and I were bored and drinking~"

"We drank quickly, but chatted casually."

"You walked towards me and started chatting me up."

"Believe me~ I will give you a chance~"

In terms of the song's melody, Gong Cheng incorporates the characteristics of reggae music, interweaving it with tropical house rhythms to enrich the layers and colors of the melody.

"Girl, you know I long for your love~"

"Come on, listen to my command~"

"..."

"Put your hands on my waist and stay close to me~"

"I fell in love with your graceful posture~"

"..."

Gong Cheng taps his fingers on the keyboard, using lyrics to narrate a romantic encounter story: "You stayed in my room last night ~ This morning, your fragrance lingers on the sheets ~"

After finishing the lyrics of the song, Kim Dae-woo knocked on the door and walked in.

Glancing at the nearly endless trophies around him, he smiled and sat on the sofa: "Are you writing a song?"

"Yeah, you're really busy these days, brother. I only see you every two or three days." Gong Cheng stood up and walked to the windowsill to stretch his muscles. Sometimes too many trophies weren't a good thing. He would have preferred to have a few flower pots, so he could water the flowers when he got tired of writing songs, or something, to cultivate his sentiments. After all, he was a man of integrity.

"What's the matter, tell me, brother."

"Running Man wants you to record another episode, this time with Park Jae-bum from Bombardment Meteor and Lim Young-woong. The production team wanted to invite everyone, but Lay isn't in your country, so he can't come."

Jin Dae-woo explained his purpose. The company was also worried about Gong Cheng appearing on the show. Other artists were all rushing to increase their activities and exposure, but this guy, who was practically invisible to his fans, was trending on the internet daily.

But it is only limited to hot searches, and life photos on social platforms are rarely updated.

"Park Jae-Bum and Lim Young-Woong are quite interested and want to go and have fun. The company also supports you to participate in one episode. After all, you have to participate in more activities!" Jin Dae-woo persuaded, fearing that Gong Cheng would disagree and refuse by saying something about the new album.

Now, in the company's internal planning, the highest priority is Gong Cheng's current first album. If you want to use this matter as an excuse, the company has nothing to say.

"When?"

"As for the recording, it's next week. Why not go over and promote the new album? Pre-sales will open at the end of the month, so it's definitely a good thing." Jin Daewoo said earnestly, "Just treat it as a day of rest and fun. You can't just go back and forth between the dorm, the composing studio, and the club every day, right?"

That's right, with the filming of "Goblin" about to wrap up, Gong Cheng's life is busy, the dormitory, JYP, the club...

"What are you talking about, brother? Do I go to the club often?" Gong Cheng shrugged and retorted, "Then I go."

I think the last time I was on "Running Man" was around the end of October last year, right? It was with Lee Sung-kyung. She's been pretty busy lately promoting "Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok-joo," taking on a lot of commercials and TV appearances.

We don't even have enough time to meet, so let's have a deeper discussion after the new album is released.

……

At night, in a hot pot restaurant near Cheongdam-dong.

Fortunately, the date with this little puppy Minato was not at a Japanese restaurant. To be honest, Gong Cheng was a little uncomfortable with Japanese food, but he found that Minato Sana was quite fond of hot pot.

The weather in Seoul has been very cold recently, especially at night.

Miya Makoto looked at the outfit of Minatozaki Sana next to him. She was wearing a blue knitted sweater, a black miniskirt, and her smooth legs were wrapped in a thin layer of black stockings.

"What are you looking at?" In the steamy box, Minatozaki Sana curled her lips and asked with some pride.

Little guy, can’t I control you?
She had some understanding of the quirks of this bad guy in front of her, so she specially wore what Gong Cheng called "warm" stockings today.

"Sana-chan, your stockings seem to be snagged..."

Gong Cheng pointed his finger at her round thighs, where a strip of fair skin was revealed under the tight, shiny black silk thread.

Minatozaki Sana immediately looked down in embarrassment. This bad guy didn't play a trick on her. The thread was indeed hooked... But why didn't she notice it before?
Then, Minato's face flushed and he put down his chopsticks: "Baga!"

"Where are you looking?"

The place where her stockings were snagged was on the inside of her thigh. Who would look there normally? No wonder she hadn't noticed the problem of her stockings being snagged...

"The quality is not very good. Do you want me to give you a few pairs next time?" Gong Cheng chuckled and answered the question irrelevantly. Wouldn't it be a nice birthday gift to give you a few pairs of stockings?

"Asshole! Who asked you to give it to me?" Minatozaki Sana rolled her eyes in annoyance. What a shameless guy! Even though he has become such a popular artist now, he has not changed at all since his debut.

"Has your schedule been tough lately?" Gong Cheng picked up a piece of food for her with his chopsticks and said, "You seem a little listless lately, Sana-chan."

"It's okay, I'm a bit busy this year." Minatozaki Sana stopped worrying about the stockings. She wore them for the guy in front of her anyway. The snag was an accident.

"You're still practicing. Are you injured again?" Gong Cheng recalled that the first time he and Minato became close was when Minato Saki Sana injured her leg after being criticized by Park Jin Young, right?
Hiding in the practice room and crying secretly, and wiping snot on his clothes, he was really dirty...

"Crybaby."

Thinking of this, he laughed and teased, but his eyes unconsciously glanced at the round thighs wrapped in black stockings. It looked so cool...

"Want to touch?"

Minatozaki Sana took in his expression and said with a half-smile. "You won't let me touch you even if I want to. How can I deal with a man that easily? I can't just let this bad guy take advantage of me all the time."

Unexpectedly, Gong Cheng shook his head: "No."

He knew his current relationship with Minatozaki Sana was more like a crush than a romantic partner. The usual kisses were a pre-determined part of their relationship, and it was Minato's way of making up for him. After all, in her eyes, he would wait until her three-year dating ban was lifted before they could start dating.

It wouldn't work without some sweetness. On the contrary, lip gloss is very sweet.

But no matter how much, this little dog would never be served on the table for him to enjoy. He saw this very clearly, so his eyes were just filled with admiration.

"It's not like I haven't touched it before..."

Gong Cheng curled his lips. Last time when Cou Gou Gou’s leg was injured, didn’t he treat it himself?

"Ah! Don't mention that again!" Minatozaki Sana glared at him and pinched him. She felt a little embarrassed when she thought of the incident when they first met last year. It would be ugly, right? Being seen crying by a boy you like would be ugly.

"Hiss~ Be gentle, Sana-chan, it hurts!" Gong Cheng held her pinching hand and begged for mercy. This little dog was really ruthless. After a while, he patted his leg in dissatisfaction: "Really? If you do this again, I'll pat my leg and leave?"

Minatozaki Sana pinched his thigh. The flesh in this area would usually be very painful even if pinched lightly.

“It hurts so much!”

Gong Cheng complained while rubbing his thighs.

"Baga! Just leave! But can you please stop patting my legs?" Minatozaki Sana's chubby little face was red as blood. She looked down at her thighs, where a pair of hands were rubbing them vigorously...

The stockings were almost balled up, and the silk threads on the inside seemed to be getting bigger as her body tensed.

"I'm sorry, Sana-chan, why is it getting more painful the more I rub it?" Gong Cheng shamelessly released his palm. The two of them were sitting side by side, their bodies almost touching, and their thighs were squeezed together. After all, it was cold!
Unexpectedly, he rubbed his thighs?

Seeing the Shiba Inu next to him about to get angry, Gong Cheng quickly attacked her and kissed her cheek. It was a reward to soothe Minatozaki Sana's anger.

"Baga! Get away from me!" Minatozaki Sana felt increasingly helpless as the man next to her became more and more aggressive, touching and kissing her: "Go sit across from me."

She pointed at the seat opposite her angrily. How could she let this bad guy succeed again?
"Let's go!" Gong Cheng patted his thigh, this time it was really his own. Then, he sat down across from him with his plate, grinning like he was asking for a beating.

He was not in a hurry about Minatozaki Sana wanting him to wait until the dating ban was lifted and collect the interest slowly.

"Okay, eat quickly."

Gong Cheng put all the beef and other things on hand into the hot pot. This shredded meat is so smooth!
……

The next day, filming of "Goblin: The Lonely and Great God" officially wrapped up.

At the wrap party, IU clinked glasses of sake with Gong Cheng beside her and said, "The new album is really a big hit. Will you continue filming? Are you going to join the next crew?"

"I won't take any more roles for now. I'm totally too busy." Gong Cheng took a sip of wine and started chatting with her. This year, many crews still handed in many scripts to the company, but he turned them all down. Putting aside the issue of script quality, his schedule this year really didn't allow him to take any more filming plans. Cameos in movies were okay.

……

On March 7th, fans and the media were buzzing about tomorrow's Billboard Hot 100 update. The four songs from the first half of Tarot's album, with the exception of the Korean track "Wild Flower," were widely circulated on social media platforms like YouTube, Twitter, and Facebook.

The soundtrack to "Rockstar" was exceptionally strong, raising high hopes among many Koreans for this song, which had previously been criticized for its violent and sexually suggestive lyrics. The music video, which is comparable in length to a documentary, has already surpassed 100 million views, fueled by public opinion, and its popularity continues to climb.

The chill of the early morning was like dense needles, pricking the three members of Bombardment Meteor in the nanny car.

"It's so cold." Park Jae-bum pulled down his black knitted hat and complained about the weather in Seoul.

"After this month, it's going to get hotter," Lin Yingxiong said with a smile. The recent fluctuating temperatures were really annoying. "It's a pity that Lay didn't join us on the show."

"So do Jackson and the other three, but there will be plenty of opportunities in the future."

He said with some emotion that this variety show could barely be considered a group variety show of Bombardment Meteor, but it was a pity that a few members were missing.

"It's okay. Isn't Lay going back to Seoul next month to film a group variety show? Any good ideas, bro? If we were to film it ourselves, I really wouldn't know what to shoot." Gong Cheng thought about this and said, "Also, what should we call our Bombardment Meteor fandom name?"

He was also very distressed about this. And according to Lee Kwang Soo's phone call last night, he had revealed that today's program recording would be filmed outdoors like the previous ones, but the content would not be the usual name tag tearing games.

They said they were going to find Bombardment Meteor fans on the street, interact with them, and have lunch together at their homes, so they had to record this morning very early, and it was only 7 a.m.

The purpose is to have enough time to find fans and communicate with them about having lunch together.

"What about the bomb?" Park Jae-Bum asked inexplicably after deep thought.

Gong Cheng put down his phone, a little confused: "What are you talking about, brother?"

"Fan name! Isn't it nice?"

"Ah Xi! I'm so impressed! Are you trying to make your fans quit following you? I really can't stand you..."
