The number one playboy on the Peninsula!
Chapter 173 "LOVE SCENARIO" breaks into the camera!
Chapter 173 "LOVE SCENARIO" breaks into the camera!
Since the beginning of 2017, since the release of Tarot's first full-length album, the first half, the whole world has been caught up in the "Tarot effect". However, this year is also an extremely important year for the people of the Peninsula.
On March 10, the Constitutional Court of the Korean Peninsula ruled that Park Geun-hui should step down. The direct presidential election originally scheduled for December 20 at the end of the year was moved forward to May 9, 2017, because the impeachment case of Park Geun-hui was passed by the National Assembly. According to the Constitution, the presidential election must be held within 60 days of the impeachment of the president.
Therefore, the Korean Peninsula is currently in the midst of election season. According to the election process, candidate registration begins on March 10th, candidate applications begin on April 15th, and voting at sea and absentee ballots take place in early May. The incoming president will be announced on May 9th. Looking at the current list of candidate candidates, many in the country speculate that the final number of registered candidates for this election may be the highest ever.
Moon Jae-in of the Democratic Party of Korea is one of the strong contenders in this direct presidential election. He has received a lot of support abroad, but to the astonishment of countless citizens, this candidate edited a long article about "Tarot" on Twitter, which instantly caused an uproar in the peninsula.
For a time, major media outlets and newspapers on the peninsula published Moon Jae-in's congratulatory messages on Twitter.
Moon Jae-in tweeted congratulations to Tarot for its first full-length album, which topped Billboard.
Moon Jae-in congratulated Tarot on her first full-length album topping the Billboard Hot 100. He stated that young people around the world have found comfort and courage in Tarot's songs. He congratulated Tarot for achieving her first number-one album as an Asian artist, a feat achieved by an Asian artist. Tarot's songs, embodying true emotions and stories, possess the magical power to transform sadness and suffering into hope. Tarot has brought Korean K-pop to the global stage, allowing more young people in the country to share their lives with young people around the world through the language of K-pop and to inject emotion into their dreams. Moon Jae-in expressed his gratitude for the touching moments Tarot has brought to the nation and expressed his support for Tarot's dream of becoming the world's most influential singer.
A seemingly unremarkable tweet suddenly set the Peninsula's entertainment forums on fire. Many Tarot fans and Arcanas from across Asia joined the comment section of the tweet.
Many Japanese and Chinese fans do not know who Moon Jae-in is, but Peninsula Arcana posted a detailed data report. Moon Jae-in, a member of the Democratic Party of Korea, one of the two major parties on the peninsula, has been leading the approval rating list for 10 consecutive weeks with a 32% approval rating, according to the poll data for the next presidential election released on March 9 by the Peninsula polling agency Realmeter.
If nothing unexpected happens, Moon Jae-in will take office in the new presidential direct election, which will be postponed to May 9.
"Shit? So this is a congratulations from the future president?"
"Oppa, it's great!"
"Ashi! That bitch is finally off the stage!"
"Shhh the sister upstairs! Don't get involved!"
"..."
"Ah! You, kid, are the future president!" Jin Dae-woo patted Gong Cheng's shoulder excitedly, but saw that the boy was browsing the posts on his phone with a calm expression as if reading a textbook. "Why do you look so unhappy?"
"I'm very happy, huh, brother?" Gong Cheng returned the phone to him with a smile, forcing out a perfunctory smile, "Can't you tell?" He really wasn't very interested in these things. He didn't care how many crazy female fans on Instagram or some small models in the circle sent him nude photos. Why would he care about this?
He doesn't really care who the next president of the Korean Peninsula will be, but Moon Jae-in is indeed a popular choice. But most importantly, even if the incoming president becomes the new president of the Korean Peninsula and posts something on Twitter, he will only express gratitude, not excitement.
He is a Chinese, how could he be so excited?
"Okay brother, if you really can't find anyone to share your excitement with, just go find Brother Zhenying. Maybe he will be happier than you. Go quickly, I'm still busy." Gong Cheng waved his hands impatiently and urged. He felt very empty and wanted to see the rabbit idol very much.
"Tsk! Ah Xi! You kid, do you think everyone is like you? You can even sleep in the president's office, and the president will even cover you with a quilt for fear that you will catch a cold! Really! Forget it, I'll go find Qian Haohe..." Jin Dayu patted his round belly and muttered unhappily.
Gong Cheng looked at his somewhat rounder figure, and felt that his life had gotten much better after he took charge of the handover of the schedule and activities.
"Dear~ I miss you so much~" After Jin Daewoo left, Gong Cheng took out his phone and sent a voice message to the rabbit idol, and typed thoughtfully, "Listen secretly, work quietly."
After a while, the bunny idol came to the composing room with his teeth bared. As soon as he entered the room, he saw Gong Cheng with his arms open, wanting a hug. She pouted proudly, saying, "My boyfriend is a little clingy, my family, I love him so much!"
"It smells so good." Gong Cheng's tall nose touched Lin Nayeon's fair neck stained with hair. There was some sweat left from practice, sticking to some brown hair. The real warmth and faint fragrance made him feel very real and he liked it very much.
"What's that smell, you pervert! Stop smelling it, I'm sweating..." Lin Nayeon's ears softened, and she leaned into his arms with a red face. At the same time, she was very nervous, afraid that someone would suddenly rush into the composing room and bump into her. "Are you in a bad mood?"
She patted Gong Cheng on the back and asked softly. Although she seemed carefree, she was still very considerate, especially towards important male relatives. On the day of Qingming Festival, she knew last night what this male relative was going to do this morning.
"No." Gong Cheng simply held her in his arms for quite a while.
He seemed to have remembered something. He stood up and walked to the desk in the composition room. He took out a small gift box from the drawer, waved it in front of Lin Nayeon, and said with a smile, "Guess what it is?"
"Gift?" Lin Nayeon grinned, her eyes sparkling with surprise.
"Oh, it's not really a gift," Gong Cheng said, sitting back on the sofa. The sofa in the composing studio was small, so the two of them were pressed together. He slowly opened the black gift box, revealing a platinum ring. The band had an Ouroboros design, with a silver-white shimmer running across the platinum. "I was out with Jackson the other day. He was buying his daughter a birthday present. When he saw this ring on the counter, he thought of you. It felt like it would suit you perfectly, so I decided to give it to you, so I can watch you wear it."
"What a shame it's a single ring..." Lin Nayeon listened to Gong Cheng's words, her eyes wandering to his face, where his hair fell down. A faint smile lingered in his calm warmth. She could tell that when he took out the ring, his bad mood had improved a lot. But she was happier than him. "I'll put it on you."
"Hmm~" After dating Gong Cheng, she rarely blushed, but when she saw that beautiful ring about to circle her finger, she couldn't help but feel so ecstatic that she wanted to cry~ Zhuge Jisu, Jeongyeon, I'm so happy...
"Do you really want to wear it? We agreed that you won't leave me once you put it on." Gong Cheng suddenly lifted up the ring and pinched the bunny idol's cheek softly. His chuckled face fell on Lin Nayeon's eyes, almost like a teasing, "It depends on how you perform." Despite being pulled by Gong Cheng, she still held her head high and said proudly.
"I don't care. That's a deal." Gong Cheng spread his palm, fiddling with the ring with his fingertips, and placed it around Nayeon's middle finger. "It looks great." He admired his own taste. It was absolutely stunning! Nayeon had long, slender hands, and they had always been beautiful. Her fair skin, paired with the silver sheen on the ring, was very nice.
"Good taste~" Lin Nayeon raised her finger and waved it in front of her eyes. She laughed foolishly twice, then turned her head and kissed her man's cheek hard, "Puji~"
The smoky rose lipstick shade left a lip mark on Gong Cheng's cheek that was neither light nor deep.
Gong Cheng chuckled softly as he leaned back on the sofa, watching the bunny idol's smug expression. He kept a thought in his mind, unspoken, "Congratulations on becoming a regular, Lim Nayeon!"
……
On April 5, the news that Gong Cheng topped the Billboard Hot 100 and Album 200 charts was still fermenting, and people and public opinion from all walks of life were focused on Tarot's name.
Rumors about the members of Bombardment Meteor are endless. Compared with the smearing pictures and random texts a few days ago, the pictures released by many media and paparazzi are becoming increasingly unfavorable to several of the members.
[Bombardment Meteor Jackson Wang was seen in and out of the hotel late at night, apparently celebrating his girlfriend's birthday!!!]
[Bombardment Meteor Park Jae-bum’s ex-girlfriend posted a long post on Instagram…]
[Bombardment Meteor's Park Chanyeol is suspected of cheating and two-timing]
[Bombardment Meteor Lin Yingxiong is suspected to be in a relationship with his girlfriend]
[Bombardment Meteor star Zhang Yixing is suspected of dating someone outside the entertainment industry and recently broke up]
[Bombardment Meteor's Oh Se-hun is suspected of dating...]
[Bombardment Meteor's Gong Cheng and IU Lee Ji-eun are suspected of falling in love during filming]
It's been reported that after Park Chanyeol and Oh Sehun joined Bombardment Meteor, many of their fans left the platform and turned against it. A big fan of Park Chanyeol revealed the news...
All seven members of Bombardment Meteor were on the hot search list one after another. The prefixes and red hot terms related to bombing were particularly eye-catching on the front pages of many web pages.
"Ahh! They're worthy of being called the artillery group! Not a single one is clean!"
"May I ask where are the Doude of these artists on the trending search? Not to mention Tarot, just the songs he wrote. If you say he's never been in a relationship, I'd never believe it even if you beat me to death! Besides, since he's the pride of our Great Cold Nation, let's talk about it! How else can he write songs? What about the other six people? Do you want to die?"
"Are you going to destroy Bombardment Meteor?!"
"Shit! Do you six think you're all Tarot? Ah! Birds of a feather flock together, and the Cannonballs have it all! You're either dating or you're cheating! Shit!"
"I'm so impressed, what a bunch of idiots! Didn't you see that the headlines on the trending searches are all about suspicion? Don't you understand? To put it nicely, it's suspicion, but to put it bluntly, isn't it just smearing? Damn it! Slander and rumor-mongering! This is! Don't forget that the Oppas are going to top the list with this comeback! This must be a joint effort by other agencies and fans! Don't believe it, sisters! I guess SM and JYP are already preparing a lawyer's letter..."
"Believe! Be loyal!"
"..."
In JYP's composing studio, Gong Cheng glanced at the trending searches online. Public opinion was indeed somewhat unfavorable to the members. Well, the trending searches weren't entirely fake, but they were real and fake. Just like the fact that Park Chanyeol's biggest fans were turning against him, they were also real. Because of this, he'd been having a few nights out drinking because of it.
Some of the artists' big fans and fangirls are like another fig leaf besides the agency. Even if they catch their idol dating someone else, they will choose to keep it secret. Maybe Park Chanyeol's joining Bombardment Meteor has really angered those fans...
After taking a sip of the orange juice brought by his good sister Chou Tzu-yu, Gong Cheng swiped his mouse to close the webpage, then put on his headphones and started working on the album production for Bombardment Meteor's comeback.
To be honest, the paparazzi and media outside did catch some information about the members, but JYP and SM had already considered these things when they formed the seven-member Bombardment Meteor. Park Jin Young thought it was not a big problem, after all, Gong Sung was there to back them up.
As for Lee Soo Man and SM, they've been using the same old tactic of criticizing and criticizing. Let them criticize, but in the end, the quality of their work will speak for itself. Gong Cheng's only concern is that the members' mentality will be affected, such as the new members Wang Jiaer, Wu Sehun, and Park Chanyeol. Besides public opinion, this is not the only concern.
Recently, there have been many voices of toxic fans on the Internet. Some are fans of the "4 only", which are the four members when Bombardment Meteor was first founded last year, Gong Cheng, Zhang Yixing, Park Jae-beom, and Lim Young-woong. There are also voices that hope that seven people will form a new Bombardment. There are even those who only like Tarot.
There are even some who are the only three, the Seoul Three Cannons, and even those who are the only two, like Zhang Yixing and Wu Sehun. Damn, they're even shipping them as a couple! In short, the voices of various factions within the fanbase are a jumbled mess.
Gong Cheng suspected it might be a collusion between other companies. Fortunately, Arcana fans make up the largest portion of Bombardment Meteor's fan base, helping to suppress the noise. After all, most Arcana fans started out as Tarot fans and then became fans of Bombardment Meteor. Of course, they still hope Bombardment Meteor, founded by their own oppa, will continue to excel and achieve the status of a new generation of top-tier group.
Gong Cheng has always been aware of the members' goals and ambitions for their comeback, especially after seeing the public opinion against the group today, he couldn't help but get motivated. Just like what Park Jae-bum said, let's do something big.
That's why he proposed that this comeback would be a full-length album. According to Park Jin-young's plan, Twice and Bombardment Meteor would both top the charts this year, and Gong Sung would also embark on a global solo tour next year.
If Bombardment Meteor develops smoothly and consolidates its base in Asia this year, its return next year will also focus on the European and American markets and start an Asian tour.
Gathering his thoughts, Gong Cheng listened to the finished arrangement and prepared to write the lyrics. He hadn't yet finalized the concept for this album's return, but he hoped it would lean towards a summery, upbeat style.
However, Gong Cheng believes that a full album with ten songs of the same genre and style would sound a bit tiring and aesthetically pleasing. Therefore, he plans to produce a few songs first, then categorize them, and choose a release format of a series of albums, or continue with his regular two-part album model.
Otherwise, recording ten songs and shooting the MV at the same time would require an extremely large workload.
"LOVE SCENARIO" I once loved." Gong Cheng typed in the song title. He was thinking of releasing two versions of this song, one with Chinese lyrics, and including it in the album.
"Once in love ~ our encounter ~"
"It has become an unforgettable memory~"
"..."
The arrangement is more popular and incorporates hip-hop rhythm, giving the whole song a light and lively atmosphere.
"The love script we wrote~"
"The curtain falls quietly~"
"..."
……
In the afternoon, when Jin Dae-woo came in with some materials, Gong Cheng took off his headphones.
"The dates for the three major TV stations are set for the 7th, 8th, and 9th, and have already been announced on the fan club's official website." Jin Dae-woo sat on the sofa, explaining some of Gong Cheng's schedule. He remembered the variety show Gong Cheng had rejected before. What was it called, 'The Rap of China'?
Recording has recently begun, and judging by the leaked clips, one of the mentors, Wu Saike, formerly active on Peninsula, might not understand hip-hop, but this brat in front of me definitely does! What the hell is Wu Saike singing? It's really not as good as having our own artists go. At least they have the popularity and the results.
"Yeah, I get it." Gong Cheng rubbed his aching neck, stood up, and opened the window of the composing room. The rainy days in Seoul had dissipated, and the air and weather had been pretty good recently. "Anything else, brother?"
"Yes, yes. Your schedule is quite busy this month." Jin Daewoo flipped through the schedule in his hand and added, "Mainly, many of the trips are not in Seoul, but abroad."
"A fan meeting?" Gong Cheng sat back in his chair. He knew about the fan meeting that would take place in Shanghai this month when he returned to China.
"Besides the fan meeting in Shanghai, you'll probably be staying for three days. Armani's new season items are out, and we'd like you and Hu Ge, another spokesperson for Asia Pacific, to shoot a commercial together. The shoot will take place the day after the fan meeting." Jin Dayu was discussing the work arrangements at Armani when he suddenly seemed to remember something and couldn't help but smile. "Xiao Cheng, do you know what other industry brands have been looking for us recently besides top luxury brands like LV and Bulgari?"
"..." Gong Cheng curled his lips, "Brother, these itineraries sound exhausting, so could you please stop keeping me in suspense?"
Since Armani officially announced him as its spokesperson, the sales of the EA series have skyrocketed, starting from the launch of "Goblin", to "Rockstar" topping the B chart, and now "Shape of You" landing at number one, and "Wheel of Fortune&X" topping the album chart. It can no longer be described as crazy. The sales in major Armani stores in Asia are terrifying.
The eyes of major top luxury brands, which had been lingering on him for a long time, finally began to take action. Many top luxury brands, both red and blue, are communicating with the company about endorsement matters, but the final options have not yet been decided.
As for the upcoming brand endorsements, to be honest, Gong Cheng has no interest in endorsements in the Asia-Pacific region. LV and Burberry have been negotiating on the option of a global brand spokesperson. As for Armani, they are also releasing information about upgrading their titles.
Gong Cheng knew the true nature of these luxury brands. They desperately needed a spokesperson for the entire Asian region, especially the massive Chinese market, where they all wanted a piece of the action. While these luxury brands offered numerous titles to their artists in China and on the Peninsula, most were brand ambassadors, low-level titles simply because they couldn't support the massive market.
"Recently, a car brand has expressed its intention to seek cooperation." Jin Dayu feels that this world is like a huge joke. Among the brands endorsed by celebrities, except for the top luxury blue-blood and red-blood brands, the most difficult endorsement to obtain is the endorsement of a car brand, followed by watches, clothing, and finally beauty products.
While other celebrities were still strutting the red carpet to become brand ambassadors, this guy, just because he wanted to upgrade his nanny car to a Maybach, within two months of this car appearing on the fans' radar, Maybach sales in the Asia-Pacific region increased! Furthermore, data shows that many people bought this model because of the "Tarot"!
"Car endorsement?" Gong Cheng was a little confused. This was something he hadn't expected. "Which brand?"
"Isn't it because of the new nanny car the company gave you? Tsk tsk, you're really popular! Even the sales of your car have increased quite a bit." Jin Dayu sighed for a while and said, "Porsche, and some other brands are interested, but we haven't contacted them yet."
"Oh~ Then let's get in touch with them." Gong Cheng nodded. He didn't know much about car brands, but to be honest, Porsche didn't seem to suit him. Compared to high-end clothing brands, car brands, in addition to various factors such as influence and popularity, pay more attention to the concepts of the artists and brands, and whether they have commonalities.
What gives Gong Cheng the most confidence is that while other artists might happily embrace the olive branches offered by luxury brands, he has the right to choose. To put it another way, the longer this tug-of-war drags on, the more brands he'll have to choose from, and the more endorsement fees he'll earn.
So he was a little confused, why are LV and Burberry still entangled in the title of global spokesperson? You guys need me so damn much! "There are also several fashion magazines such as "ELLE" and "GQ" who want to invite you to shoot the cover. As for "ELLE", you are also shooting with Lin Zhenna. Several of these magazines sent invitations in February, but you were not producing a regular album at the time, so you postponed them all. You have to go this time anyway. After all, your fashion resources will inevitably be involved with these men's and women's magazines in the future." Jin Dae-woo carefully analyzed for Gong Cheng, implying that he hoped he would go, and it would be good for his popularity in the fashion circle.
Many celebrities are flocking to the top five men's and women's magazines. In addition to wanting to prove themselves by appearing on the major magazines, they also want to enhance their fashion sense in the eyes of major brands.
"Brother, do you think I'm fashionable?" Gong Cheng turned around and stared at Jin Daewoo with a smile. Sometimes he really couldn't understand how to define fashion. You could say he was fashionable, but he himself thought it was just that.
When it comes to dressing, it’s all about looking good and handsome, or being casual, but comfort is the most important thing.
"FASHION!" Kim Dae-woo gave a thumbs-up and spoke seriously in heavily accented English. He felt that this brat looked good in anything he wore, just like when "Goblin" was a hit, almost every man in Seoul had a trench coat, but among so many people, no one could pull off the look that Gong Cheng did.
Then he sighed and glanced at Gong Cheng's superior body proportions and nonchalant expression. That's why he said when he first saw this brat, "He's so handsome that he makes people feel pressured..."
"ELLE will be filming in Paris, and there are several shows there. The company has an invitation for you, so you should go and have a look. Oh, and Jackson also happens to be in Paris for those two days, so you two can go together." Jin Dayu remembered that Wang Jiaer was an invited guest at one of the shows, so he mentioned it. Then he said helplessly, "Xiao Cheng, when you go to Paris, just try to see the shows, don't go to any clubs..."
"Did you tell the wrong person, brother? Shouldn't you tell this to Brother Jackson?" Gong Cheng glanced at him suspiciously, "Aren't you going with us, brother?"
"I'm going with you, Asi! How can I keep an eye on you, a bad boy?" Jin Dayu muttered unhappily. In addition to the three agents, all of Yuegong Cheng's overseas trips also involved stylists, bodyguards, and a lot of other people.
"Paris?" Gong Cheng muttered, suddenly remembering something. He opened his phone's contacts and, under Jin Dae-woo's puzzled gaze, called the painter from Peninsula. "Hey, Lee K, I remember you said you were going to Paris for an exhibition this month, right?"
"..."
After the call ended, Jin Dae-woo was somewhat surprised and recalled a piece of news from last year. "Is that painter's painting going to be exhibited in the Louvre?"
"Yes, I talked to him about my preparations for the first regular album some time ago, and then I remembered that since I'm going to Paris, I should go to the Louvre." Gong Cheng put down his phone. The painting the painter wanted to show was undoubtedly the portrait he called "Muse".
Gong Cheng had always felt, well, I don't know what to say... it was strange to be called a muse by an artist. It was a bit too high a compliment. Moreover, his portrait was being exhibited in the Louvre alongside the world-famous painting "Mona Lisa."
"Wow! You're an artist whose paintings are exhibited in the Louvre!" Jin Dayu smacked his lips in astonishment. When the painter told the outside world about this last year, he didn't take it seriously.
Now, it has really come true. For a moment, he didn't know whether to say that the painter was amazing or the brat in front of him was amazing! But as this brat's agent, this feeling is really cool!
"And..." Jin Dae-woo opened his mouth,
"Any further schedule?" Gong Cheng couldn't help but say, Damn it!
This month alone has been filled with promotions, fan signings, and all the aforementioned commercial shoots, top magazine appearances, and fashion shows. And aside from the fan meetings, most of that has been pretty boring. And on top of that, he's also working on Bombardment Meteor's comeback album! Have JYP and SM got any good songs in their repertoire? They're so embarrassed to schedule so much for themselves...
"Listen up to me. This is my last schedule for the month." Kim Dae-woo chuckled awkwardly. "Next month, the 53rd Baeksang Films Awards will be held. I think the nominations will be announced in the next couple of days. I'm not sure if I'll win an award, but with the ratings for 'Goblin,' a nomination is a sure thing."
"Baeksang Arts Awards?" Gong Cheng nodded. He remembered Girls' Generation's Yoona, who had made her big screen debut last year. The Baeksang Arts Awards is one of the three major awards in the film and television industry in the Peninsula, on par with the Blue Dragon and Daejong Awards. However, compared to the other two awards, the Baeksang Arts Awards is a comprehensive award that combines both the TV drama and film categories. While it holds high value in TV dramas, it lags behind the Blue Dragon and Daejong awards in film.
This year's Baeksang Arts Awards will include television works, film works and performers broadcast and released in South Korea from April 14 last year to March 30 this year. The organizers will select the nominated works and actors.
"Senior Yuna, are you going too?" Gong Cheng asked. Could it be that this sister wasn't even eligible for a nomination? Probably not. After all, she was a perennial winner of the Newcomer Awards.
"Why do you ask?"
"Do nothing."
"Really?" Jin Dae-woo glanced at Gong Cheng suspiciously. Ah! Could this kid really be interested in that beautiful lady? After all, there were quite a few rumors about the two of them.
"I was just wondering if senior Yoona would win the Newcomer Award again this year?" Gong Cheng suddenly felt that the schedule of the Baeksang Arts Awards was quite interesting. Others might not believe it, but there were rumors flying around about him and Yoona.
But to this day, the two have never had any contact with each other. Even when he went to SM to help Red Velvet produce the title song, he only met Taeyeon and Sunny at most. As for that mysterious Yoona, she was either filming or not filming all day long.
He is a little fed up with the fact that they are competing for the Newcomer Award every year. They don’t give young people any chance at all!
"Asi! It's better not to say such things outside." Jin Dayu immediately came to his senses, patted his shoulder in annoyance and warned him.
"I understand." Gong Cheng stood up and stretched, then took a sip of the orange juice on the table. "Is there anything else, brother? If not, I'll get off work and talk to Jackson."
"What to talk about?"
"Talk about work! Don't we all have plans in Paris?" Gong Cheng couldn't stand it anymore. When did this guy become so nosy? He acted like he wasn't a serious person! He was hurt!
"The clubs in Paris are very chaotic." Jin Dae-woo advised earnestly.
"Ah!" Gong Cheng picked up his coat in annoyance, stood up and left!
……
As night fell, the sky in Seoul was gray and the neon lights on the roadside lit up one by one.
Gong Cheng and Wang Jiaer came to the Lotte Mall near Myeongdong, had a simple dinner, parked the car in the basement of the mall, and strolled around casually.
"Going to Paris to see a fashion show? Honestly, I'm not in the mood lately." Under the night sky, Jackson Wang pulled down his mask and took a sip of coffee. The two of them were not walking under the street lights. From a distance, their figures and faces were obscured by the night, so they took off their masks and relaxed a little.
"I'm a bit bored too." Gong Cheng shrugged and kicked a stone on the side of the road. He knew that this guy was depressed recently because of the scandal, just like the trending search about him celebrating his father's birthday, which was true.
"Maknae, I'm not in the mood because I'm going to see a show. Are you going to be on the cover of a top magazine? You're bored with such a good resource? I can't stand you." Wang Jiaer couldn't help but curl his lips. He's so Versailles.
"..." Gong Cheng was too lazy to explain anything further. Wouldn't it be boring to be published?
"By the way, how are you and Nayeonxi doing?" Jackson Wang asked curiously. Sometimes he admired the youngest member's ability to balance things, as he had both an ex-girlfriend and a current girlfriend.
"Very good." Gong Cheng waved his hand, gazing out at the plaza below the Lotte Mart. At this time of night, the plaza was bustling with people: students, office workers, children, and mall staff. The neon lights of the plaza were a beautiful sight to behold. Many influencers were livestreaming and filming videos under the neon lights, making it quite lively.
"Are you going to promote your music in a couple of days?" Wang Jiaer had obviously seen the news online. "Do you want me to go and support you?"
"No need, haha, it's better not to come. You and Brother Jaefan and the others shouldn't come, it's not necessary." Gong Cheng curled his lips and smiled. If there is any support, it should be the girls who come to support. What's the point of you grown men coming?
"Yeah, Nayeonxi will go, right?" Wang Jiaer shook his head and smiled.
"I don't know." Gong Cheng took out his cell phone out of boredom and glanced at the news he had just asked around. Twice and Zhao Meiyan's pabo were all very busy and had no time to come out.
Is it time to find a new girlfriend? I feel like those guys aren't up to par! Otherwise, how could I have ended up hanging out with Jackson Wang?
Have you ever put your boyfriend first?!
"It does seem a bit boring just the two of us." Wang Jiaer glanced around impatiently. The recent public opinion had made him depressed. "How about going for a drink? What's going on with Chanyeol and Sehun today? Usually they should call at this time."
"Tsk tsk, brother, you guys are really becoming alcoholics." Gong Cheng put his hands in his pockets. Park Chanyeol and Oh Sehun have also been deeply affected by public opinion recently. As long as they have no schedule after work, they will call the members to go drinking. He didn't go very often. He only went three times this month, even though it was only the 5th.
But as an artist, when faced with something like this, you can't just throw a tantrum in front of the spotlight and tell the media and fans that all the public opinion is bullshit! So everyone has their own way of relieving stress.
For example, Gong Cheng likes to stay close to his mother and recharge.
"Let's play a random song first~"
"Anything is fine~ Let's have a good song~"
"Let's dance casually~"
Suddenly, Gong Cheng heard a song—"Any Song," a track from his new album. He glanced forward and saw a crowd gathered in the center of Lotte Plaza in the night sky, many passersby snapping photos of the crowd with their phones.
In the center of the crowd, two trendy young girls were standing in front of a mobile phone stand, dancing to the finger dance that has been popular in the peninsula recently, as if they were challenging the dance of this song and filming a video.
"This song is really popular in our local area. I can sing it after listening to it." Wang Jiaer said with a smile, but after seeing Gong Cheng pull down the brim of his hat and move closer to the crowd, he followed.
This youngest member really loves to join in the fun.
"I don't want to think about anything~"
"Let's change our identities for now~"
Listening to the music, Gong Cheng stood at the edge of the crowd, his arms folded, watching for a moment. The two girls on the "simple stage" danced quite well. However, after seeing his small card stuck to the phone case on the phone holder, he guessed that the two girls might also be his fans.
After the song ended, the two girls wiped the sweat from their foreheads. One of them, wearing a baseball cap backwards, stared at the video she had just shot. Unsatisfied, she said to her friend beside her, "Xien, this move is wrong. Oppa's move is like this. Let me show you."
As the girl spoke, she demonstrated the movements to her friend, twisting her waist and swinging her arms to the side, not caring at all about the eyes of the people around her.
"Hey, Hee Eun! A lot of people are filming Oppa's dance challenge for this song. If we dance better, maybe Oppa will see it too."
"Nei! Huai Ting!"
After a brief exchange and review, the two girls regrouped and played "Any Song" again. Many of the onlookers smiled and applauded. They danced very well indeed.
"Your fans." Jackson Wang was certain that the two girls were fans of the maknae, their serious expressions and dance moves were very standard.
“…” Gong Cheng smiled but said nothing. It felt quite magical to be in a place with many people, listening to others playing his own songs and watching others dancing his own dances.
"Why aren't you talking? What are you thinking about?" Jackson Wang gave the youngest member beside him a strange look.
Unexpectedly, he heard Gong Cheng chuckle and patted his shoulder, "Get ready to run, brother, run faster."
"Why should we run? We haven't decided where to go yet, and no one has recognized us." Wang Jiaer was a little confused and took a sip of coffee.
"Let's go to Jiangnan."
Gong Cheng pulled up the brim of his hat and replied, then listened to his own singing in his ears, humming slowly and steadily through the speakers.
"Let's just dance casually~"
"..."
"Change your identity temporarily~"
Under Jackson Wang's astonished gaze, Gong Cheng strode into the neon lights in the center of the square, came to the side of the two girls on the "stage", and followed the beat of "Any Song" and followed the two girls' dance moves very naturally.
A tall figure under a camouflage baseball cap, shoulders lowered, arms swung, fingers dancing...
When he entered the camera, the song was already halfway through. Under the gazes of two girls staring at the selfie videos on their mobile phones, he danced in a relaxed and nonchalant manner. His casual aura instantly infected many onlookers in the crowd.
There was thunderous applause, as if applauding the boy's courage to go on stage or his spontaneous dance moves.
However, the boy who suddenly broke in had his hat brim pulled down, so only his clear jawline could be seen, but his face could not be seen at all under the shadow of the hat brim.
"Holy shit!" Jackson Wang stared at the scene before him. He finally understood what the youngest member meant by "run!" He turned his head and glanced around. There were no bodyguards with him at all!
"Let's just play a random song~ Anything is fine~"
As the last line of the song was sung, the two girls froze in their tracks. Who was that? Suddenly barging in, stealing the show! Still, the dance was pretty good!
Just as they smoothed their sweaty hair and looked back, they saw the tall figure and the face under the brim of the hat, smiling softly, exposed under the neon lights. The girl named Park Hee-eun's voice trembled when she saw that face, but she was so excited that she didn't make any sound.
The warm smile and the blue and yellow neon strips were intertwined. Park Hee-eun thought that the most beautiful face she had ever seen in her life was the boy in front of her with a frivolous smile on his face.
"Hello!" Gong Cheng took off his camouflage baseball cap and placed it on the head of the stunned little girl in front of him. She was a little short, not even reaching his shoulders. But when she danced, she was very cute.
The moment he took off his baseball cap, Jackson Wang had already started preparing to run. When the onlookers saw Gong Cheng's face clearly, they instantly turned the cameras in their hands and aimed them at the tall figure, screaming and exclaiming!
“Tarot!!!!”
"Oppa!!!!"
"Ah ah ah ah ah!!!"
"Not bad!" Gong Cheng shrugged. He didn't know why he rushed over. Perhaps it was because the two little girls in front of him were his fans. It was that simple! However, when he saw the restless crowd around him and heard Wang Jiaer shouting, "Go! Go! Shit!"
Gong Cheng quickly turned around and ran towards Jackson Wang with big strides. After running for just two steps, he turned around with a chuckle and walked two steps backwards while raising his hand and waving. He chuckled at the two little girls and said, "See you!" Then he ran away!
"Fuck, what the hell is there to see? I'm really impressed by you!" Wang Jiaer urged anxiously. Fortunately, there were not too many people in this area of the square.
"Oppa!!!" The little girl who was still standing there just reacted when she saw Gong Cheng greeting them. She was excited and nervous for a moment, but secretly hated herself for being slow to react. Why hadn't she had a good word with Oppa yet?
"Oppa, let's meet again at the book signing event!"
"Wow! Oppa is so nice, right? It's so dreamy. We were dancing to Oppa's songs and he seemed to sense us and suddenly appeared in the camera. Wow! Wow! So happy!" Park Hee-eun held her phone and stared at the dance video she had just recorded in disbelief. Only then did she realize that Oppa had been standing there for a long time behind them...
But looking at the restless crowd around them, they still hoped that Oppa would run as fast as possible, the faster the better. Even after Gong Cheng and Wang Jiaer's running figures disappeared into the night, the little girl was still holding on to the baseball cap left by the superstar, unwilling to let go...
