The number one playboy on the Peninsula!

Chapter 365 Relationship Exposed? Park Jin-young's Two-Sided Reversal!
"Click——"

The next day, Zhao Meiyan got up very early, her whole body aching. She slowly got out of bed, her pajamas still disheveled, the buttons of her cardigan that she had tied properly before going to bed had been undone by her unruly male friend during the night.

Fair-skinned and pretty, she squinted her eyes and smiled softly, then leaned down and pouted her lips to kiss Gong Cheng, whose breathing was even.

Immediately afterwards, she happily took a picture of Miyako's sleeping face, as if it were a daily routine... and sent it to Minatozaki Sana.

She tiptoed into the bathroom to wash up. Still half-asleep, Zhao Meiyan brushed her teeth and washed her face. With her return imminent, she needed to get to the company early for practice. As for her boyfriend, he could just rest here.
...She drew back the curtains, and Zhao Meiyan smiled as she let the sunlight stream into her face. Spring had arrived in Seoul.

Although the weather was still a little chilly, the sun was shining warmly.
She changed into a white dress, put on a coat, and was in a good mood as she prepared to go out.

But just five minutes after leaving the house, Zhao Meiyan hurriedly opened the door and went into the bedroom. Seeing that Gong Cheng was still in the same position, half asleep, she subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief. She quickly tiptoed to the bedside table, gently opened the drawer, stuffed a diary inside into her bag, and took it with her.

Although her male relative wouldn't casually rummage through her wardrobe or drawers, Zhao Meiyan was still afraid that he might see the contents of her diary...

Just like what oppa said yesterday in Incheon, if Jisoo unnie really beat up her boyfriend because of their friendship, then some of the contents recorded in this diary might shatter that friendship even more completely.

However, Zhao Meiyan still leans towards the idea that Jisoo unnie's attitude towards her male cousin stems from the principle of "if I can't have him, I'll destroy him..."

...When she left the residential area again, Zhao Meiyan got into a taxi. She glanced at the unread messages in her chat box with Minatozaki Sana and smiled, her eyes crinkling.

Everything is under control~
After thinking for a moment, she immediately sent Kim Jisoo a photo of Gong Cheng sleeping in her bed: "(Image)"

But such a reckless and impulsive act is not a good thing~ Just like when you have sex with your oppa, you have to lubricate first.

So, Zhao Meiyan blinked, smiled innocently, and typed in the chat box again: "Unnie~"

"Have you noticed that Oppa has become even more handsome? (Fangirling)"

……

"So handsome!"

Kim Jisoo, who had just washed up and gotten up in her dorm, was sitting in front of her vanity, casually applying light nude makeup to her delicate face. But when she saw the picture sent by Zhao Meiyan, her heart suddenly clenched painfully, and she couldn't help but spit out a curse!
But the fingers holding the phone didn't reveal much emotion: "Are you alright? I didn't notice..."

She stubbornly insisted...

Putting down her phone, Kim Jisoo glanced at herself in the mirror. She thought to herself, "I should look pretty good, shouldn't I?"

But why, just a few days ago I was all lovey-dovey with that bastard, and now you're in someone else's bed...?

"Drip drop~"

She pursed her lips and looked at the message Zhao Meiyan had sent again: "Didn't you recognize Moonni?"

"Would you like me to take a couple more pictures so you can see them more clearly? I really think Oppa seems even more handsome and charming than before..."

The infatuated tone made it seem like she was sharing her boyfriend's changes with her best friend, suggesting a very close relationship between the two friends!
Those two short sentences made Kim Jisoo's heart clench with pain, and only then did she suddenly realize it.

I seem to have gotten a bit carried away lately. The woman opposite me, Pabu, is actually the mother of [Emerging Dawn]. What am I compared to her?

"Aigoo, isn't that cool?"

"Pabu, I have to go now, I have to go..."

Kim Jisoo managed a couple of weak replies, then sat down in her chair, looking dejected, her heart heavy with unresolved worries.

She suddenly felt a strong urge to grab a drink with a close friend today, chat, and ease her sad and depressed mood...

But when I looked back, I realized, damn it, I had no friends left!
A certain "newborn shrew" played around with all her best friends, luring them all to bed and causing them to turn against each other. Now, she's afraid to get close to other girls, lest she become that "bastard's" next target...

……

12 noon...

Gong Cheng opened his eyes, climbed out of bed, and habitually glanced at his phone, which was filled with a bunch of calls.

Many of the calls were from unknown numbers and domestic phone numbers, or messages from celebrities in the Chinese entertainment industry whom he didn't usually contact. He glanced at them briefly and found that the unknown calls were almost all from investors in the Chinese entertainment industry, while celebrities like Hu Ge and Dilraba Dilmurat, who had their own contact information, were asking if they could give their contact information to others.

I guess it's their backers trying to get in touch with me...

Yesterday, the news of the contract with JYP expiring, which had been circulating on the Korean Peninsula, has now spread like wildfire all over the world.

"..."

After washing up, Gong Cheng closed the door to Zhao Meiyan's house, got into his car, and scrolled through Kakao for a long time before finally finding Xiao Xiao Guai Doufu's information.

"Oppa, you haven't done anything that will bring divine retribution lately, have you?"

"I had a bad dream..."

He replied with surprise, "Oh, do you look like the kind of person who would do bad things? Come out and have dinner with me~ I'll pick you up from the company, don't tell your wives~" Gong Cheng yawned, gave a word of advice, and then stepped on the gas and drove towards Jiangdong District.

……

"You haven't found me a new sister-in-law lately, have you?"

Inside the barbecue restaurant, Kim Da-hyun flipped the meat in the pan while looking seriously at the handsome man in front of her: "I really have a bad feeling this time, oppa~"

Just after last night's nightmare, Doufu suddenly realized something very serious: Damn it, the handsome guy in front of her had his contract with the company expire in June, so wouldn't that mean he'd run away?

The film "Parasite" premiered in Cannes on May 21, but its domestic release date is May 30. Just two days ago, the "sisters-in-law" were excitedly discussing going to check it out and support it!
They even generously said they would book the entire movie theater just to support themselves!

With DaDaiShuai running away in June, he's all alone in JYP and TWICE. Isn't he just waiting to die? He's completely isolated and helpless!
"Annyeong~"

"I haven't been in the mood lately, so where would I find the time to find you a new sister-in-law?" Gong Cheng said lazily, taking a sip of his cola. Besides not feeling well lately, he also had a lot of things to do at Maze Entertainment.

Moreover, Han So-hee, Bae Suzy... even Somi's side is considering signing with a company.

The makeshift team is now complete, and he will take charge of the overall direction of the company's operation, while the rest will be handled by Park Jin-young.

The company won't be too big; it will mainly be responsible for managing artists such as Han So-hee, Bae Suzy, Somi, and himself. As for signing other artists, he hasn't found any suitable ones yet. Ultimately, it's all for his own benefit. Besides his singing career, his current wealth comes largely from the returns on various projects invested in the company.

"So you mean there will be a new sister-in-law in the future?"

Kim Da-hyun stared wide-eyed, speaking incredulously.

Dude... will we even live to see that day?

"Maybe~"

Gong Cheng shrugged, swallowed the roasted meat, and said with a grin, "Fate is truly amazing~"

"Oppa, you really can't keep doing this..."

Kim Da-hyun earnestly advised with a worried expression, "What if you find a sister-in-law younger than Tzuyu someday? How am I supposed to face that?"

Although it's common for couples to have an age gap in their relationships, sometimes even more than ten years, she was still shaken as she imagined a girl born in the 00s, while she, born in 98, was being addressed as "sister-in-law" by a kid several years younger than her.
Thinking of this, Tofu couldn't help but shudder!
"Younger than Tzuyu?"

Gong Cheng smiled thoughtfully, then teased Captain Kim in front of him, "How could that be? If that day ever comes, you can just call each other 'sister-in-law,' and she can call you 'unnie.'"

“hh~”

At this point, he couldn't help but burst into laughter, but to be honest, right now, besides Liu Zhimin and Huang Lizhi, he didn't have any friends born in the 00s around him. They're too young...

It wasn't bra size, it was age. The development of the Executive Department's Dragon and the little foreigner Somi really surprised him, in a way that he admired.

joke……

Why would he choose a girl born in the 00s as his daughter-in-law?

Hearing Dada's laughter, Kim Da-hyun raised her single eyelids and glared at him. The loud laughter seemed to have dispelled the faint gloom that had enveloped him when they first met: "Oppa, why do you get all excited when girls are mentioned?"

Her tone was a little off, "Don't mess with me, bro."

Although I've already accepted so many "sisters-in-law" already, you can't let yourself get too carried away.

Tofu genuinely cares about the handsome man in front of her...

Kim Da-hyun was so worried about her nightmare last night that she couldn't sleep well all night, racking her brains for a way to deal with her "sisters-in-law".

"Have it?"

Gong Cheng scratched his head, thought seriously for a while, and then shrugged: "No way~ It makes me sound like a pervert."

However, thinking about some girls I've had interactions with makes me a little happier.

After all, those girls are quite interesting, aren't they?
"If only oppa were just a pervert," Kim Dahyun sighed helplessly. "I would definitely call the police to arrest you, but you're even worse than a pervert, really!" She nodded emphatically, accusing the handsome man in front of her.

I guess last night's nightmare was about the scene of this ticking time bomb exploding with a "bang"~
Oh, her little heart!
"Well, I think what you said makes a lot of sense."

Gong Cheng nodded in deep agreement. If he were only driven by desire, things would be much simpler, and his woman wouldn't be like this. But in the end... he is purely in love.

Difficult to do...

"Brother is just too devoted and too affectionate. Actually, your wives are also partly to blame for this. Why are they so nice to me? Why are they so good-looking? Why did they fall for me?"

Lord Gong was earnestly analyzing the problem with his trusted advisors, completely unaware of Kim Da-hyun's trembling eyelids and downturned lips.

"Oppa's so-called 'being loyal' means that you're dating someone at the same time right now..."

Kim Da-hyun glared at him fiercely, then realized she couldn't count them all. She put down the tongs she was using to flip the grilled meat and held out her small hands, "Nayeon, Momo, Mina, Sana, Chaeyoung, Jo Mi-yeon, Bae Joo-hyun, Kim Ji-soo?"

"Oh my god~ There are exactly eight?" The more she counted, the more alarmed she became. She looked at the handsome man in her line of sight with despair, thinking, "Damn it, I'm so worried about you! Oppa! What are you pretending for?"
"Seven days a week, how can you manage that?!"

“Ani~ Jisoo isn’t dating anyone, and she hasn’t been in the mood lately.”

Gong Cheng put down his chopsticks and corrected her, "As for Mina-chan, I guess so~ As for Sana-chan and Joo-hyun, they've already broken up, so how can that count?" He then picked up his cola and took a sip.
"As for whether you can handle the workload?"

"Time is like a sponge—you can always squeeze some out. But for me, it's more like a schedule. As long as I plan it properly, I can complete all my 'announcements'."

After listening to his insights, Kim Da-hyun felt an urge to teach the handsome man in front of her a lesson on behalf of her "sisters-in-law".

Like "itinerary" or "announcement"?

He's really sick...

"Dahyun~ I've been walking on thin ice these past few years. Do you think I can ever reach the other side?"

Gong Cheng suddenly raised his eyelids with a melancholy look, staring at the fair and tender tofu opposite him. Her face wasn't particularly stunning, but her fair and tender appearance made people feel comfortable and at ease! Therefore, he was willing to tell this "loyal subject" everything.

I'm happy to hear her opinion. Master Gong has never been a dictator; he's a democratic person.

"Is it on the other side?"

Upon hearing this, Kim Da-hyun's eyes suddenly filled with a sigh... It seems that since she boarded the Great General's pirate ship 16 years ago, she has always been the one worrying about this issue, while the General has always said the same thing over and over again: "A man should have style, what's the rush?" But this is the first time that the "melancholy" Great General has shown such a lack of confidence.

In her mind, she gazed at the vast sea under the blue sky and white clouds, with sails billowing on the deck beneath her feet—Tofu also wanted to know...

What's on the other side of the sea?
Despite the nightmare and intuition that had given Kim Da-hyun a bad feeling last night, she still wanted to help the handsome man in front of her regain his confidence!
Asshole!
Cheer up!
Oh my god!

"I'm here with you, helping you, oppa?" Kim Dahyun continued skillfully flipping the grilled meat, saying casually.

As for the other side of the sea?

Could it be—the Blue Dragon Film Award winner...?

"Alas!"

Gong Cheng watched as Kim Da-hyun uttered words that were so heartwarming.
I'm incredibly happy inside.

……

Meanwhile, all eight members of TWICE arrived at JYP's organic cafeteria. Tzuyu pouted and looked at the food in the cafeteria. PDnim is really obsessed. I don't know what's wrong with him lately, he's been researching organic cosmetics again.

Hello, unnies~

In the corridor, [itzy]'s Hwang Yeji and the others saw TWICE's seniors in front of them and immediately smiled and squinted their fox-like eyes, leading their teammates to greet these seniors. The atmosphere was very harmonious.

After all, they had moved from the trainee department to the artist floor a month ago. That floor happened to have TWICE's seniors and also this "big" practice room, although he didn't spend much time in his own practice room.

So, after seeing each other so often for over a month, [itzy] and these seniors got along exceptionally well.

"Reiji~"

Lim Nayeon grinned, showing her rabbit teeth, and smiled happily.

Before their debut, they were the company's star trainees. Later, they often participated in their own male idol's music videos, so they were naturally very familiar with each other. After their debut, they often ran into each other and gradually became acquainted.

They are a few nice and adorable juniors...

"Where's Dahyun unnie?"

Shin Yuna curiously glanced at the TWICE members in front of her; one member was missing!
Dahyun unnie used to take good care of them~
"...She said she went to see some relatives or friends."

Sana Minatozaki answered with her bright eyes, and picked up another chicken leg from her plate.

Hearing this, Mina, who was standing to the side, gave a barely perceptible smirk. "Seeing a friend?"
I bother!

Dahyun's friends are those two maknaes from the group! She thought Dahyun must have gone to see Makoto, but why would she lie? Mina didn't bother to guess, but after asking about the relationship between Minatozaki Sana and Cho Miyeon last night...

Suddenly, I realized something and understood what Zhao Meiyan was planning.

Mina slowly sat down at the table, shoveling rice into her mouth, but her slightly indifferent eyes seemed to be wandering as she sorted out her speculations.

First, Zhao Meiyan didn't know that Sana-chan was Cheng-chan's ex-girlfriend. Also, she wanted to use Sana-chan to pass the photos to Nayeon unnie and Tzuyu.

Unfortunately, Sana didn't know that [Stupid Rabbit] and [Silly Fish] were dating Makoto, and Tzuyu really wasn't dating Makoto. Sana always thought that she had taken Makoto's place and was dating him, so she sent the photos to herself.

That's why something like what happened last night...

Meanwhile, Zhao Meiyan was unaware that she was "dating" Cheng-chan.

It sounds chaotic, but upon closer analysis, Mina still believes there's something to be gained.

"You've debuted, how does it feel?"

Lim Nayeon took a sip of seaweed soup, and with a smile, asked the ITZY juniors who were sharing the table with them.

The groups currently under the company, such as 2PM, GOT7, Stray Kids, and Day6, don't really connect with TWICE much. They're all guys, just ordinary colleagues or seniors/juniors. And with the disbandment of miss A, there are even fewer female artists besides solo artists.

Now, the junior group [ITZY] has even been assigned to the same floor as them for practice rooms, so they see each other all the time. They are quite interested in getting closer to them.

"...You guys are really impressive, taking first place after only nine days since your debut."

"They're even more amazing than we were back then!"

Sana Minato also chimed in with a smile, jokingly saying that ITZY's debut number one was even more exaggerated than BLACKPINK's debut when they were called "monster rookies." Now, ITZY is also a "monster rookie."

By all accounts, this group of junior female students has a very bright future ahead of them...

"How can we compare to the unnies? We are so grateful to the oppa for producing our album."

Hwang Ye-ji dared not show the slightest arrogance, and replied earnestly and sincerely: "Moreover, we have many unnies and oppas' fans supporting us, which is why we have such good results."

"By the way, unnies~ where's oppa?"

Shin Yuna was very interested in "Brother Lao," and she knew that the seniors of TWICE were very close to him. However, she hadn't seen him much at the company in the past two days. Moreover, they had heard some rumors from their manager that almost everyone in the company, from the shareholders to the stylists and assistants, knew that JYP's "crown prince" might really be leaving this summer.

Hirai Momo, holding a knife and fork, ate her vegetable salad and casually remarked, "Went off to find a woman, huh?"

As soon as she opened her mouth, she bit into the vegetables in her mouth, slightly opened her mouth, and cursed inwardly!
Deadmouth—why speak so quickly...?

Her dark eyes glanced at Lim Nayeon and the others, a slightly surprised expression on her face. She quickly lowered her head and added, "Why are you looking for him?"

"..."

Huang Lizhi, Shen Youna, and the other three did not answer immediately; instead, their expressions were somewhat hesitant.

It seems the unnies in front of me have a really good relationship with that "prison boss"; they joke around so casually...

"Well, our debut went really smoothly, right? It's all thanks to Oppa for producing our debut album. So, I was thinking of taking advantage of some free time recently to treat Oppa to a meal as a way of expressing my gratitude..."

Hwang Yeji narrowed her foxy, smiling eyes and said earnestly. Her tone was filled with deep gratitude. Having gained immense popularity since her debut, she knew very well where all that attention came from—it was all thanks to that oppa. But she always felt that the relationship between the TWICE unnies and that oppa was rather unusual…

For example, some of the unnies, so she didn't dare to speak too intimately with that oppa, in case he was dating her and she got upset.
"Invite him to dinner?"

Yoo Jeongyeon scratched her head, "You guys can just ask him out on Kakao, but I don't think he's really interested lately, he's always so busy and unpredictable. So, Yeji, don't be sad even if you get rejected~"

At this point, she smiled sassily and greeted him. In Yu Dingyan's opinion, her good brother Ha Jicheng's choice of friends and dinner partners was purely based on his mood. If he didn't want to go, no matter how good your relationship was, there was nothing you could do about it.

In particular, in her view, the younger generation in front of her were not nearly as close as Hajime as she was to Hajime, to the point that she absolutely had to go...

"But then again, he's really amazing. He's produced almost every album for girl groups that became a hit, and the same goes for boy groups." Yoo Jeongyeon suddenly remembered an astonishing fact: her good friend Hagi Sung produced Twice's title track "TT" in 16, which became a huge hit across Asia.

In the same year, the album he produced for BLACKPINK debuted on the Billboard charts and made a miraculous comeback. Then last summer, he produced another album for BLACKPINK, which propelled them to new heights. Now, their popularity among girl groups remains high.

And now, ITZY has secured the "Monster Rookie" award—which proves that this guy's talent is undeniable. Producers are like "classic cars," rarer and more valuable than singers. Plus, he's the primary composer, arranger, and lyricist for all his songs. Those artists who claim to be second or third authors but constantly boast about their "talent" are simply incomparable to him.

"Who said that?"

Upon hearing this, Lim Nayeon suddenly pouted, "Isn't Ryderbabe just so-so? Didn't Gong Cheng even produce their title track?"

She wasn't trying to deliberately undermine Yoo Jeong-yeon and her boyfriend; it's just that, after looking at it so closely, Ryder Bebe and that Bae Joo-hyun were really disappointing! She was afraid they would become "black marks" on her boyfriend's glittering resume.

"Bad Boy?"

Sana Minatozaki thought for a moment, then raised her bright eyes and retorted seriously, "This song was quite popular back then, but after that comeback, they fizzled out again. Maybe it was a problem with SM Entertainment's strategy..."

She made a fair point: when "Bad Boy" was first released, it did quite well on the music charts, topping the charts quite a few times. However, those two years, 2016, 2017, and 2018, were arguably TWICE's peak; almost no domestic group could compete with them.

Aside from the "artillery regiment" created by Xiaobaicai and his personal return.

"..."

Lim Nayeon, Yoo Jeongyeon, Hirai Momo, Minatozaki Sana, and Hwang Yeji chatted and ate together.

Meanwhile, Mina sat next to Son Chaeyoung, glanced at the little tiger's phone screen, who was currently shopping on a shopping app, looking at some unique personal outfits. She put down her chopsticks and, pretending to be serious, pushed the photos that Sana-chan had sent her last night in front of Son Chaeyoung.

The picture shows Makoto sleeping.

"?"

Son Chaeyoung glanced at the photos on Mina's phone out of the corner of her eye, her pupils suddenly contracted, and then her small face showed a hint of anger. She opened Kakao, found Mina's chat box, and typed: "Unnie, have you no shame now?"

"After you get fucked, are you going to record it and brag about it to me?"

The photo showed her husband sleeping soundly, and the little tiger subconsciously assumed that it was taken by Mina unnie next to her after she and her husband had made love, in an attempt to provoke her.

Mina glanced around at the nearby members chatting and laughing, then opened Kakao and replied, "Watch your mouth!"

"How could I do something so shameless? I didn't take those pictures..." she protested, her face flushed. Yes!
Zhao Meiyan is a shameless woman!

Since Zhao Meiyan wants to use Sana-chan to pass these photos on to her female relatives, then Little Penguin is happy to oblige her...

It's a pity, it's going to be tough on Makoto-chan~
But it's okay, Mina believes that everything is for a better future for each other, and in the future, she will make it up to Makoto even better!
"Who is that?"

Now it was Son Chaeyoung's turn to be surprised and uncertain. But she glanced at Mina and thought carefully, "If it's not yours, why are you showing it to me? Are you trying to cause trouble again?" She was really speechless. Why did this unnie next to her keep pulling this stunt?
Sun Caiying was very clear about her "strategic position"! She would just stay close to her boyfriend. She had been annoyed by his actions before, but then, didn't he say last time, "Caiying, wait a little longer, I'll be done with them soon"?

And then, the relationship between the male lead and Sana unnie ended.
It's still quite believable... After all, even if the boyfriend doesn't want to, the unnies won't accept his actions and behavior. Not every unnie is as magnanimous as her!

"Zhao Meiyan!"

Minami glanced at Son Chaeyoung's expression with a sly look, "Aren't you going to catch them cheating?"

"Oh~ okay~"

Son Chaeyoung nodded in relief, gave a casual reply, then glanced at Mina's impatient eyes, nonchalantly selected a photo from her album, and sent it to Mina privately, "I have one too~"

"(Image)" Mina clicked on the photo, speechless. In the picture, Son Chaeyoung grinned, showing her little tiger teeth and squinting her eyes. Her slender white wrist was wrapped around Gong Cheng's neck, and there was a string of lip prints on his lazy, smiling face.
Mina, feeling a pang of jealousy, asked angrily, "Aren't you going to do anything about Makoto-chan?"

"Aren't you dating him too? Why don't you care?" Son Chaeyoung replied, gesturing with her small hand. Then, she glanced at Mina with disdain, stopped typing, and waved her hand as if shooing away flies. "Unnie, stop bothering me. I'm still shopping!"

"..." Mina bit her lip, glaring at Son Chaeyoung with resentment, her eyes filled with anger and disappointment at her lack of ambition! Why are you clinging to Makoto like a leech? She quickly typed and sent: "He slept with someone else!"

Son Chaeyoung was completely speechless. Although she was as calm as a tiger, she still felt uncomfortable after hearing these words: "How dare you talk about others? You didn't sleep with him? If I were to slap Zhao Meiyan across the face, then let me ask you, unnie... would you only be happy if I slapped you too?"

"Fine! Since you're so awesome, don't regret it, Chaeyoung!"

When Mina saw this, she blushed deeply, feeling embarrassed. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw a picture that Son Chaeyoung had just sent... the intimate pose between her and Makoto-chan was so enviable and infuriating!
This thing, Zhao Meiyan has it, Son Chaeyoung has it, and I bet Lim Nayeon, Minatozaki Sana, Hirai Momo, Bae Joo-hyun, and Kim Jisoo all have it too, but I'm the only one who doesn't! Perhaps it's because the less you have, the more you want to prove something, Mina's anger surged, and she said something stupid: "Since you don't care, I'll take a picture with Makoto tomorrow too, and see if you can sit still! I hope you can really be as calm as you are now."

"Humph!"

After sending the message, she snorted coldly!
"Unnie is more secretly passionate than I thought~ So all that outward reserve was just a facade?"

Son Chaeyoung chuckled sarcastically, then glanced at Mina beside her with a flicker in her eyes, and replied with a slightly provocative tone, "I wouldn't mind if the three of us tried it together~ Do you dare?"

After sending the message, she swallowed hard, a glistening strand of saliva still clinging to her small, protruding canine teeth. Her heart pounded with inexplicable tension, a feeling she couldn't quite describe, but a mixture of a forbidden, morally reprehensible sense of pleasure and an indescribable thrill...

“…” Mina was furious at her reply! But she still stubbornly retorted, “If you dare, why shouldn’t I?”

"Ha ha……"

Son Chaeyoung quit Kakao with a cold laugh, having already seen through Mina's stubbornness.

I can't be bothered with her; she's getting more and more arrogant every day.

The more Mina tries to provoke her, the more it shows that she cares about her boyfriend's interactions with other girls. She does mind, but not entirely. She only acts according to her own inner thoughts. Moreover, the more this older sister jumps around, the more embarrassing her ending will be.

The same applies to oppa's other girlfriends; as long as they care, they'll all be gone sooner or later! Sana unnie, didn't she already slink away?
"..."

Mina had been thinking of showing the pictures to Momo and Nayeon, but she had lost interest because of Chaeyoung's annoyance.

Really are……

I'm afraid that those of Makoto's female relatives are all just as shameless.

……

On February 23, after JYP revealed that its contract with Tarot was about to expire, its stock price plummeted for several days.

However, after ITZY secured their first number one spot, their momentum was exceptionally strong at the beginning of 2019, and groups and artists under various entertainment agencies also began to make comebacks one after another...

Girl groups like TWICE, BLACKPINK, (G)I-DLE, and Red Velvet are also busy preparing for their comebacks.

"Aigoo, wasn't he supposed to be in bad shape? How come he's swimming so fast..."

In the swimming pool in Gwangjin-gu, Seoul, Park Chanyeol dejectedly poked his head out of the pool, glanced at the back of the swimmer who had finished swimming and come ashore, and Gong Cheng casually picked up a towel to wipe the water droplets off his body, then sat down on a lounge chair with a smile: "What does that have to do with swimming?"

Park Chanyeol and Park Jaebeom have also come ashore together, and the girls are making a comeback. He hasn't had much to do recently, so he's been exercising with the other members of his group.

As celebrities, they may seem to have very busy schedules, but they actually have a lot of free time in private. Moreover, most celebrities have rather boring private lives, provided they are not lawbreakers who engage in prostitution or drug use.

The swimming pool that was booked out right now only had Jay Park, Oh Sehun, and Chanyeol. As for Jackson Wang and Lay Zhang, one was busy with his solo digital single, and the other was busy running around with film crews in China. Lim Young-woong was also making a comeback.

In short, everyone is thriving. Park Chanyeol and Oh Sehun are especially busy. According to them, XO will release their sixth full-length album this year, but before summer begins, Kim Minseok and Do Kyungsoo will enlist in the military, and XO will enter their military leave this year.

Their development will shift from a group to individuals.

As for the Second and Third Artillery Corps, their enlistment is estimated to be a few years later...

"How are you, Nayeon, Irene...?"

Wu Sehun climbed out of the pool, sat on the chair next to him, picked up the cigarette case on the table, took out a cigarette, lit it, and asked curiously. Gently exhaling smoke, he thought he looked extremely handsome: "Your live broadcast on 'I Live Alone' a few days ago really gave me a heart-pounding experience."

"Everything is under control~"

Gong Cheng raised his hand and fanned away the drifting smoke. Actually, the women had been quite quiet lately, perhaps because they were busy.
After spending some time at the swimming pool, at Jay Park's suggestion to buy luxury goods for his new girlfriend, the group headed to the commercial district of Gangnam and began their street-hopping adventure.

A group of four traveling together is bound to attract the attention of passersby.

As the group strolled through the boutiques of various luxury stores, online trending topics about JYP's sharp decline in stock price were replaced by hashtags like #PaoEmperorTravel#. It's worth noting that Gong Cheng visited the company this morning and successfully signed a contract with Park Jin-young. Now, with JYP's stock price falling, he has become one of the shareholders, but his shareholding is similar to most other shareholders—a relatively small percentage.

That's enough, though. The reason they acquired a stake in JYP was simply because they were worried that the female members of TWICE wouldn't have anyone to take care of them while they were in the company. In exchange, Park Jin-young personally invested in Maze Entertainment, though the percentage wasn't high either—it was a simple swap.

Right now, Gong Cheng, who's been frantically shopping around, doesn't actually have a high desire for luxury goods. The things he keeps looking at are mostly suitable for women. Besides his small stake in JYP Entertainment, he also owns investment companies in Maze Entertainment and Dear U (the software company behind the [Bubble] app). With the help of his financial advisors, he's invested in over a dozen companies in the past two years alone…

"Wrap this watch up."

Gong Cheng chuckled and said something to the saleswoman in front of him, then took out his bank card to pay.

It's hard to go out without attracting attention when you're with your friends, so he didn't bother to cover himself up. Instead, he gestured to the young lady in front of him to wrap up the men's watch from the Glashütte Original brand that she had her eye on.

"Aren't you a Rolex brand ambassador?"

"How did you buy Glashütte Original?" Wu Sehun asked curiously from the side.

Gong Cheng took back the bank card and then picked up the wrapped shopping bag. "I bought this for my dad." The group then left the watch store and stuffed the bags and packages into the trunk of the car.

In the bustling commercial district, many people greeted him with screams. He smiled calmly. Park Jae-beom listened to a phone call beside him, while Oh Se-hun and Park Chan-yeol were showing off by throwing a meal at the scene.

Having just finished swimming, Gong Cheng was wearing only a brown leather jacket. His tall and handsome figure made him stand out in the crowd. However, the wind was still quite cold in Seoul at this time of year, and he regretted not wearing something thicker. He had a strange feeling that he was about to catch a cold.

"Cough cough~"

With a soft cough, Gong Cheng wrinkled his nose and suddenly caught a glimpse of two figures in a fashion boutique across the street.

It looks somewhat familiar!

"Oppa, can I get your autograph?"

Gong Cheng didn't care whether the person opposite him was Yi Deng Qing Chun or Zhang Yuan Ying. Judging from their profiles, they looked quite similar, so it should be them. Then, he smiled and accepted the card handed to him by a fan, and signed it.

……

Inside the boutique, Jiang Huiyuan was pulling Zhang Yuanying, who had skipped class, to the front of the display case. They were looking down at the dazzling array of items on the shelves, including niche brand scarves, shawls, and limited-edition baseball caps.

Zhang Yuanying blinked, glancing at her baseball cap. It was February.

That oppa's birthday is in March, and they've already exchanged contact information. She felt it was no big deal to give him a birthday present. As everyone knows, that oppa really likes baseball caps. In the last live stream, he even showed that there were baseball caps hanging all over the walls of his dressing room.

For celebrities, baseball caps and flat caps are indispensable when they go out...

What are they doing on the other side of the road?

"So many people are gathered here!" Jiang Huiyuan heard the exclamations outside the shop and couldn't help but turn her head to look. There were some printed stickers on the floor-to-ceiling glass that blocked the view, but she could still feel the crowded people and the terrifying atmosphere of the crowd on the other side of the road.

At this point, her curiosity had overshadowed her purpose in coming to this boutique.

Not long ago, she was criticized for "flaunting wealth" at the airport because she was carrying a Gucci handbag. She was speechless and became more discreet. Right now, she's selecting various handbags to avoid being criticized again...

"Are you a celebrity?"

Zhang Yuanying squatted on the ground, glanced at it, but didn't pay much attention. She then took off a denim baseball cap from in front of her, put it on her head, stood up, turned around, looked at the mirror in front of her, wanting to see how it looked on her. She then asked Jiang Huiyuan, who had dragged her to skip class, "Unnie, how is it? Does it look good?"

"nice!"

Jiang Huiyuan gave a casual, perfunctory answer.

Standing on tiptoe, I watched the figure across the street...

Just as Jang Won-young adjusted the strands of hair under her hat, she raised her eyelids and glanced at Kang Hye-won unnie in the mirror, who had her back to her. Seriously... she didn't even look at herself, yet she said she looked good. How perfunctory!

She didn't say anything, but smiled and squinted her eyes, her innocent face gazing at herself in the mirror. Suddenly, her eyes narrowed, and she stared intently at herself. In the mirror, she saw a tall figure standing on the other side of the road behind her, next to a black Bugatti.

Hands held up phones, some with flashlights on, while a tall figure stood in the center of the crowd—Tarot—his handsome features framed by tousled hair, smiling warmly. His brown short leather jacket, white inner layer, and straight-leg pants that contrasted with the jacket showcased his long, slender legs in a superior way.

The Bugatti's trunk was open, filled with bags and bags of designer logos.

Zhang Yuanying's mouth gaped open slightly, her pink lips filled with disbelief! She never expected to suddenly run into this oppa.

In the mirror, reflecting the "world" behind her, there was a red Ferrari and a white G63 parked behind the Bugatti. She remembered that these two cars belonged to Oh Sehun and Park Chanyeol, but the two of them were showing off to the fans who were watching.

As for Jay Park? This guy isn't very tall, so he's hard to spot in the crowd. You can only vaguely see him getting into a sports car of some unknown brand while on the phone.

"Oppa!"

Zhang Yuanying couldn't help but speak up, and immediately turned around to look, tossing her long hair.

Jiang Huiyuan also noticed at this moment that the person traveling on the other side was that celebrity, the representative!

"It's the 'Cannon Emperors'! Aigoo~"

"Tarot oppa?"

"qinjia?"

Many customers in the boutique started discussing it amongst themselves and went outside to see what was going on.

"Shall we go and have a look too?"

Kang Hye-won excitedly told Jang Won-young that when they first debuted, the members all longed to meet this representative at events, but they only met her once, at the Gayo Daejeon at the end of last year.

Unexpectedly, I ran into him while out shopping.

"Inside~"

Zhang Yuanying thought it was too much of a coincidence. Since they had run into each other, it would be good to say hello.

……

"see you~"

Gong Cheng greeted the fans in front of him with a warm smile, then got into the Bugatti and gave Wu Sehun and Park Chanyeol a wink.

Are these two really treating this like a fan meeting?

Park Jae-beom answered the phone speechlessly and got into his car.

The fans stopped blocking the way and, seeing that Gong Cheng and the others were about to drive away, dispersed to both sides to ensure that the vehicles could pass. Occasionally, some irrational fans were stopped by the more rational passers-by.

"Buzz~"

Gong Cheng rubbed his temples and started the car. Now he was really sure that he had caught a cold. He must have been wearing too little clothing these past two days. Nevertheless, he rolled down the car window and waved to his fans with a smile.

"Tarot~ You must get pregnant at the Grammys in a few days!"

"Oppa, when are you going to release a new song?"

"..."

The air was filled with a cacophony of farewells and words of encouragement.

"A new song?"

"The day of the Grammy Awards..." Gong Cheng didn't hide anything, and told the little girl in front of him with a smile that on the day of the awards ceremony, in addition to performing at the Grammys, Lonely and Park Jin-young's personal documentary, which had been prepared and filmed for him for two years, would also be released online at the same time.

However, the fans in front of him probably didn't expect that "Lonely" would be his song of temporary farewell to the music industry.

"Oh Mo?"

"Really, Oppa~~"

The fans on the roadside were filled with excited joy, their pure and sincere smiles warming the hearts of people in the cold Seoul wind.

"Yes!"

"Let's meet again next time? Thank you all for your continued support~" Gong Cheng, who had been in a slump lately, smiled with a rare seriousness and sincerity in his lazy eyes, then stepped on the gas and slowly drove away.

The Bugatti drove slowly through the crowded commercial district, and in the rearview mirror that Gong Cheng didn't notice...

Zhang Yuanying and Jiang Huiyuan arrived late, standing by the roadside, their eyes fixed on the Bugatti's exhaust fumes and license plate with complicated expressions.

"What a pity, the representative didn't notice us~"

Jiang Huiyuan sighed helplessly, she was about to say hello! But she quickly smiled again, indicating that it was only natural that she hadn't noticed them.

After all, in that representative's eyes, IZ*ONE was nothing special.

"There's nothing to regret. Sooner or later, Oppa will notice me."

Zhang Yuanying pouted her chubby little face and quickly composed herself, suppressing the faint sense of loss in her heart. The less attention the oppa in the Bugatti noticed her, the more excited she became.

Born idol – Jang Won-young?
She will shine brighter and brighter, just like the representative.

……

February 24th is an auspicious day for marriage.

At the Shilla Hotel near Jangchung-dong in Jung-gu, Seoul, every corner, from the lobby to the banquet hall, was filled with the lively and warm atmosphere of a wedding.

Black wedding cars lined up in the driveway in front of the hotel's main entrance, their windows reflecting the pink balloon archway hanging in front of the gate. White ribbons embroidered with Che Qianhao and his lover's names swayed gently in the wind below the balloons.

Gong Cheng handed the Aston Martin car keys to the valet in charge of parking, and then saw Jin Dayu, who had arrived a step earlier than him.

Today is Che Qianhao's wedding. Having worked together for so long, I naturally couldn't miss it.

"You're here really early, bro."

Gong Cheng, tall and slender, was dressed rather formally today and greeted Jin Dayu with a smile. Since the end of the world tour, his management team has been on vacation, while Cha Qianhao has been busy with his wedding.

As Gong Cheng got out of the car, the passing guests gasped in surprise, covering their mouths, "Tarot?"

These were all relatives and friends of the bride and groom, and they all knew about Che Qianhao's job and who he served. Even though they had guessed that Tarot would be there today, they still found it hard to believe when Gong Cheng appeared in front of them.

The wedding videographer focused the camera on Gong Cheng, who smiled and waved to the lens. Glancing out of the corner of his eye, he saw Che Qianhao in a suit and his partner hurrying towards them. Smiling, he raised his chin to the photographer, "Let's get to shooting, today's star!"

"Xiao Cheng~"

Che Qianhao was surprised that Gong Cheng would arrive so early today. He smiled broadly and introduced the superstar in front of him to his friends and family, who knew no introduction whatsoever.

Gong Cheng chatted with the guests for a few minutes without any airs, then walked into the banquet hall. Listening to the crisp sound of his high heels clicking on the floor, he and Jin Dayu arrived at their assigned seats and waited for the wedding to begin.

As the groom, Che Qianhao was busy greeting other guests, and then rushed backstage to make final preparations.

Gong Cheng looked at the warm and romantic wedding scene in front of him, then suddenly blinked and looked at Jin Dayu: "Brother, who do you think I will marry in the future?"

"How would I know?"

"With the girl you like..." Kim Daewoo held up his phone, filming the wedding scene, and sent it to his lover: "But, you have plenty of choices~"

He considered himself to know Gong Cheng's love life fairly well. He had Bae Joo-hyun and Kim Ji-soo, but he personally preferred Bae Joo-hyun. It was a pity that he broke up with her and missed out on her!

But this kid's achievements, and both his external and internal conditions, are things we don't need to worry about.

Just like the end of their two-day vacation, at the end of the month, they will fly to Los Angeles to attend this year's Grammys. If Gong Cheng can win a few more Grammy trophies, then without a doubt, his reputation and influence will reach a new peak.

But I'd rather have no choice at all!

Gong Cheng smiled faintly, picked up his wine glass, and took a sip of wine.

Before they could chat for long, guests gathered around, nervously asking to take photos with him...

As the banquet hall lights suddenly went dark, a lyrical background music started playing from the speakers. Gong Cheng and the other guests put down their phones and quietly watched the narrow passageway in front of them, waiting for the bride and groom to make their entrance.

……

Meanwhile, in the president's office at JYP Entertainment.

Park Jin-young was sitting at his desk, scrolling through the trending topics online, which were mostly things like #TarotShowsAtManager'sWedding#. He already knew about this, and Cha Gun-ho had even applied for leave from the company, not for today's wedding, but for a month-long honeymoon afterwards.

At the Grammys a few days later, only Kim Dae-woo and his entourage accompanied him.

He knew perfectly well that Kim Daewoo and Cha Gun-ho would probably leave JYP together after their junior's contract expired, but he didn't say much. The relationship between an artist and his manager is like that of an emperor and his chef in ancient times—it's all about "trust."

Therefore, many artists who leave the industry do so together if they have a good relationship with their agents.

The agency is helpless; what can you do if someone resigns? They hold artists hostage to their contracts, but I've rarely seen them hold agents hostage...

As for the company's stock decline, Park Jin-young had anticipated it; it was bound to happen sooner or later. However, to his delight, he never expected that his junior brother would agree so readily to his earlier suggestion to Gong Cheng to exchange shares.

Now that the contract has been signed, Gong Cheng has become a director and shareholder of JYP. Once the [ATM] project is launched, wouldn't that be another great success story? The debut of a group of company "shareholders" and the limited debut of "Yonsei University alumni" are both hot topics for marketing!

Who knows, [Gorilla Miyato] might just have a huge breakthrough!
As he thought about it, Park Jin-young couldn't help but rest his chin on the back of his hand, his smile "sweet" and "adorable".

...But then an email popped up in the inbox in the lower right corner of the computer screen.

This finally brought Park Jin-young back to his senses, and he opened the email with his mouse, thinking it was a report from one of his subordinates. But the first thing he saw in the email was a blurry photo, but he could vaguely make out the face of a girl—Lim Na-yeon!

"?"

Park Jin-young released the mouse, rubbed his eyes, and looked at the photos in the email in disbelief. He didn't bother to look at the other photos, and quickly zoomed in on the top picture and scrolled. The center of TWICE was actually in a boy's arms.

This is what caused his intense emotional fluctuations. After all, TWICE cannot afford to have any more relationship scandals exposed right now, especially since Nayeon is the only local top member of the group. If Nayeon's relationship is exposed, it's no exaggeration to say that TWICE will be completely finished in the local market!
As the image on the scroll wheel zooms in...

In the pitch-black night, Lim Nayeon sat in the passenger seat, her body, dressed in a black hoodie, leaning slightly to the side. Her cute face, revealing her bunny teeth, was pouting coquettishly as she looked towards the figure in the driver's seat, her arms wrapped around that figure's neck.

However, due to the angle from which the photo was taken, the image quality is not very clear. The photo shows the scene taken from in front of the windshield, and Park Jin-young's eyelids twitched as he stared at Lim Na-yeon's lifeless expression in the photo...

One hand had already pulled out his phone, ready to call Lim Na-yeon and ask her to come up and question her.

Park Jin-young squinted at the driver's seat. The boy's face was blurry and his features were hard to make out, but the outline of his face was very familiar to him. He glanced down at the license plate and the dashboard display on the hood—a Beetle-like logo, an Aston Martin. As for the license plate...

...Park Jin-young's hand holding the mouse was trembling slightly. Isn't this my dearest junior brother?

For a moment, his rough, large hands trembled, but his eyes suddenly lit up with surprise. Oh my god, this brat! He's actually dating Nayeon?
How could he possibly object?!
"Ha ha!"

Park Jin-young couldn't help but laugh out loud. He raised his trembling hand and clapped his hands in front of him. Suddenly, many things became clear. No wonder his junior had agreed to the share swap so readily, and it seemed his junior had asked him beforehand what he would do if he liked any of the Twice members.
He replied, "Go for it without worry, the company won't object!"

This is good news!
Park Jin-young felt a sense of double happiness, and couldn't help but think more highly of Lim Na-yeon. "Na-yeon, you're amazing! You actually managed to win over my junior!" He showed none of the aversion and anger he felt towards Park Ji-hyo's dating prowess.
Furthermore, since the photo was sent to his email, it means the other party only wanted money, and the boy sitting in the driver's seat of the car was—Tarot.

Park Jin-young predicted that these paparazzi wouldn't dare to expose him; they just wanted to make a quick buck. Firstly, there's the influence of his junior colleague; many officials are afraid of angering him and sending him back to China or to Europe and America. In particular, the revenue generated by Gong Cheng in Seoul's cultural and tourism industry over the past two years is far beyond what these ridiculous photos can compare to; these are all achievements.

And, a romantic relationship?
This junior brother is least afraid of rumors and photos of his relationships being leaked. He's the Seoul playboy king and playboy emperor!

Therefore, this photo could only affect Twice, which is why the other party sent the photo to their email address, clearly indicating that they wanted money.

Park Jin-young is now leaning back in his chair with a happy smile, quite pleased to spend the money to buy the photos.

For artists on the rise, management companies will naturally spend money to smooth things over, especially since Lim Nayeon's solo project starts next month. As for those with little financial benefit, like Park Jihyo, the scandal was exposed, and that's that—the company has already suppressed it once. They just don't learn their lesson and are beyond redemption!

"Aigoo~ What a surprise!"

Park Jin-young couldn't help but sigh, picked up his mug, and took a sip of coffee.

Then, he leisurely smacked his lips, savoring the coffee in his mouth—rich, fragrant, and wonderful! He'd never had such a double treat before!
Because he quite likes Nayeon; she has a nice voice, high potential, and is the only native-born member of Twice with top popularity. Otherwise, he wouldn't have arranged for her to be the first to go solo.
As for Gong Cheng, he was his most valued junior brother, whose talent and looks were unparalleled. Even setting aside their personal relationship, from a business perspective, the huge returns Gong Cheng had brought to the company in the past two years often made him feel quite guilty towards his junior brother, as if the company could do nothing to help him...

But what about my junior brother?

She never complains, and even though she's about to leave the company to go solo this summer, she's still determined to take herself to America!

"Nayeon, come to my office!"

Park Jin-young smiled and found Lim Na-yeon's number, dialed it, and gave her a brief notification.

Just a heads up, be careful and cautious when interacting with your junior classmates in the future!
If necessary, I can personally drive you to and from your date~hh~
The more he thought about it, the more he realized he was really getting old, like a playful old man! Why was he meddling in the affairs of young people?
"Hh~" Park Jin-young chuckled softly, put down his phone, crossed out the picture, and prepared to continue browsing the contents of the email. Interesting, all pictures? How careless of him, Nayeon, junior!

Just as Park Jin-young was about to suppress a smile, he saw the contents of the second picture. His smile froze instantly, his pupils contracted sharply, and his previously gentle gaze was filled with shock and panic. His eyes were fixed on the contents of the picture, and even his breathing slowed down unconsciously. His previously relaxed brows furrowed abruptly...

In an instant, the inexplicable unease that had been lingering in his heart for some time now exploded wildly in his chest!

"Sana?"
