The number one playboy on the Peninsula!

Chapter 367 Dog Madness Rabbit Suffocation Tiger Group Injury TWICE Betrayed Each Other!

"Shut up, Dahyun!"

Under Lin Na-yeon's loud voice, Kim Da-hyun had already stuffed a crumpled piece of printed photo paper into the corner of her mouth, her wide eyes flashing with the "arc light" of a martyr.

That was to protect the humanity of TWICE and Da Da Shuai.

When things are going well, Kim Da-hyun is great! When things are going badly, he's a little monster! In dire straits, Captain Kim is a hero—you can always trust Kim Da-hyun!
"What are you doing, Duoxian?"

Seeing this, Mina, who had been sitting quietly to the side, stood up in a panic, her fair face showing anxiety. She reached out and used her slender fingers to pry the clump of photos stuffed into Dahyun's mouth.

How dare this brat ruin my grand plan?

With a hint of anger in her light and charming words, Mina unfolded the crumpled printed photo in her hand. She couldn't help but roll her eyes at Kim Da-hyun, who was coughing and covering her neck. "Are you really that loyal?"

"Cough cough~"

Kim Da-hyun opened her mouth wide and coughed a few times, the clear cough echoing in the conference room.

...Big Brother, I really did pull hard!
Park Jin-young gave Kim Da-hyun a strange look. What was she doing? Destroying evidence? The thought instantly erased any slight goodwill he had felt for her: "Nonsense!"

He slammed his hand on the table, and all the TWICE members froze in place, trembling with fear, except for Sana Minatozaki, who was still sobbing quietly with her head down.

"Oh my god!"

"Da-hyun, what are you doing?"

Mina and Nayeon's voices rang out one after the other. The former stared at the photo in her hand in shock, making the loudest sound she had ever heard, while the latter looked at the maknae, Kim Dahyun, with a mixture of anxiety, reproach, and concern.

Why would you swallow photos like that? It's dangerous, you know...

What she was more worried about was Dahyun's irrational behavior. Besides, PDnim was still here. How could he be so lawless?

"...Is this true?"

Mina's shocked face showed that she quickly threw the photo on the table, acting as if she had never expected the content of the picture, and her performance was just as real.

"?"

Kim Da-hyun lowered her hand from her neck and looked at Mina with suspicion. "How come you acted so realistically? Are you putting on a show?"

But right now, Nayeon, PDnim, and the other members' eyes were still fixed on her, and Tofu knew in her heart—Dada is so handsome! There's really nothing she can do...

It burned out, leaving only snow-white...tofu dregs...

But her identity as "Spy Young 1" can't be revealed yet. She's only just regained Chaeyoung's trust, so Kim Da-hyun is showcasing all the acting skills she's honed in Chungmuro ​​recently. The Blue Dragon Film Award winner's acting is sure to be fantastic!
"…I,"

Kim Da-hyun, her frail frame standing in the corner of the conference room, pointed at the crumpled photograph that Mina had placed on the table, her voice trembling with fear: "I was just... so angry... how could they do this?"

As she spoke, Tofu's eyes welled up with tears, and she quickly added to the drama by raising her hand and cupping Lim Nayeon's cheek with her fair little hand. The big star's curious gaze was about to look at the photo on the table. What was it that could make Sana cry so bitterly and make Dahyun so bold and angry that she swallowed the photo?
Before she could even see the contents of the photo, Kim Da-hyun abruptly turned Nayeon's face, revealing her rabbit teeth, towards him, and they made eye contact.

Lim Nayeon blinked in confusion, staring at Kim Da-hyun's tear-filled face. "Our Da-hyun, why are you crying like this?"

Don't look at unnie~

...Kim Da-hyun said, her voice choked with emotion.

My heart is filled with the friendship and bonds of TWICE, and a deep longing for the Blue Dragon Film Award...

Desperate situation—Jin Xiaoxian—she's still pulling on!!!

Park Jin-young stared at the scene before him, then lowered his head thoughtfully. Could it be that Kim Da-hyun, after seeing the photos, was afraid that Lim Na-yeon would see the intimate pictures of that beastly junior and Sana, and that it would hurt Na-yeon's feelings and damage the group's relationship? That's why she resorted to this drastic measure—eating the photos and not letting Lim Na-yeon see them?
...Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look at Kim Da-hyun, whose eyes were red with satisfaction. He never expected that TWICE's team spirit and cohesion would be so vividly displayed in this seemingly most ordinary kid whom he had the least faith in.
"Stop! Dahyun!"

As Kim Da-hyun and Lim Na-yeon locked eyes, one gritting her teeth and desperately stalling for time, the other bewildered and about to turn away, Minatozaki Sana, sitting at the conference table, her brown hair streaked with tears and clinging to her adorable chubby cheeks, clenched her fists so tightly her flesh-colored manicures almost dug into her flesh. With red-rimmed eyes, she looked up at Kim Da-hyun and hysterically screamed, "Let her see!!!"

The TWICE members present, including Park Jin-young, were all taken aback by the sudden shout.

Even the brave and fearless Kim Da-hyun glanced at her sister-in-law Sana, who was on the verge of collapse, with trepidation. She subconsciously swallowed, as if the nightmare from a few days ago had come true? But her Blue Dragon Film Award winner hadn't even arrived yet!
"What happened?"

Nayeon shook her head in Dahyun's hand, her high ponytail swaying in the air, revealing her frustration and helplessness: "So what if I ran into a jerk? Is it really that big of a deal?"

She muttered to herself, "Sure enough, you can't compare people. My husband is just too outstanding."

"Haha~"

Park Jin-young sneered when he heard Lim Na-yeon's words.

Nayeon, go and see my devilish junior brother for who he really is!

"Ouni..."

With a dry voice, Kim Da-hyun lifted her eyelids, glanced at Lim Na-yeon who was a little taller than her, and then looked around at the members present. She let go of her hand weakly, stood still, and couldn't help but take one last look at Lim Na-yeon's beaming face, which was beaming with joy because she had just gone public with Da-da-soo.

What if that jerk is your boyfriend?

Is it that boy who just made you so happy? Just imagining it as either Sana or the oblivious Nayeon in front of her made her feel suffocated.

Holy crap... This guy is so handsome, I'm at my wit's end.

woo woo woo woo!

Tofu sat limply on a chair to the side, her arms hanging down, her back hunched over, as if her once straight spine had completely bent over at this moment.

What's on the other side of the sea?
No, that's not right—General, what awaits us after today...?

"Ouch~ You've got a really strong grip, Dahyun."

Lim Nayeon raised her hand and rubbed her cheeks, which had turned red from being pulled so hard. Her tone was rather displeased. Only after she finished did she look up and realize that many pairs of eyes were watching her, and they all seemed rather intriguing.
First and foremost is Sana-chan, who just roared, and then there's PD-nim, Mina-chan, Momo-chan, Tzuyu, Chaeyoung—why are they all looking at me like that?!
Are you still not quite recovered from my interaction with my boyfriend, TTTarot?
Hehe~
Thinking of this, Lim Nayeon grinned, revealing her genuine rabbit teeth, and picked up the printed photo that was lying face down on the table. It was wrinkled and had water stains on the edges from Dahyun's saliva. She flipped the photo over and only glanced at it.

She didn't see it clearly, so she took another look.
Take one last look, and then one last time. Just as Lim Nayeon was about to comment, her rabbit teeth froze in mid-air. She opened her mouth slightly... and then, belatedly, her body trembled. Her fingers, gripping the photo, dug through the thin printed paper with her manicured nails.

She turned her head in disbelief to look at Sana Minatozaki, who was silently shedding tears, and asked in a trembling voice, "The man you kissed was—"

"Is it... Gong Chengmo?"

Lim Nayeon was going crazy. She stared wide-eyed and asked, her rose-red lips trembling. She felt that this world was too ridiculous. Just a moment ago, wasn't this conference room the "criticism session" where she was caught by paparazzi and exposed for dating her boyfriend?

So what if it's a "criticism session"? I'm really happy, I'm happy with that man! We've been dating for three years! It's called a "criticism session," but in my eyes, it's clearly an "official announcement" to the closest members of our relationship.

Shouldn't you be blessing our Mo?
But now, what should we do...?

"Nayeon, you don't even recognize your boyfriend of three years?" Park Jin-young's gaze fell on Lim Nayeon, who was usually full of energy. At this moment, her eyes were bloodshot and sparkled like diamonds. He finally understood that the beast—his junior brother—had tricked all the children in front of him!

So much so that he felt a pang of heartache, but he still had to make them face reality. Oh well, another one has broken down.

"...Moragu?"

Yoo Jeongyeon hadn't seen the photos yet, but from the few words Lim Nayeon and Park Jin-young exchanged, she seemed to realize a startling fact.

She rushed forward and snatched the photo from Lim Nayeon's hand, her eyes wide—after seeing Gong Cheng and another friend, Minatozaki Sana, kissing in a black Land Rover, she angrily exclaimed, "Damn it, a Land Rover—his first car..."

Yoo Jeongyeon stammered, then turned to look at Minatozaki Sana, and then at Lim Nayeon.

The scene of the two shedding tears together looked tragic and beautiful, but the tension was palpable in the air and among the tears!

My good brother—Haji Cheng!

You're a real bastard...

If we're really talking about the closeness of relationships, Yoo Jeongyeon's friendship with Lim Nayeon is naturally much deeper than her friendship with Ha Ki-sung. She naturally knows who to stand up for. Even though friendship isn't a choice, and it shouldn't be like politics where you have to choose sides, her good friend really went too far.

"..."

Mina smiled faintly, observing the atmosphere in the conference room. "It's none of my business, hehe!"

But let's begin!
For a moment, she couldn't help but wonder how heartbroken Makoto would be if he knew about this.

Ke Cheng-chan, after suffering comes rebirth~ I'm the one who will lead you through this rebirth to a better life~
"Oh mo!"

Park Jihyo also saw the photos taken by the paparazzi at this moment, and she exclaimed in surprise: "Gong Cheng oppa is actually dating Sana at the same time as Nayeon unnie?"

Thomas stared wide-eyed at Park Jin-young, his face contorted with an expression of utter innocence. "Now you can clear my name, right?"

Seeing that Park Jin-young remained unmoved, she quickly retorted, "I told you so~ Gong Cheng oppa is definitely dating one of our members, but you all didn't believe me and insisted that I was the one dating! But oppa is the biggest dating oppa..."

She hurriedly cleaned the floor for herself.

Unexpectedly, Park Jin-young gave her a cold look upon hearing this: "You noticed it a long time ago, why didn't you report it to the company? Why didn't you stop it?! Aren't you the leader of TWICE? How dare you say that—Park Ji-hyo!"

Damn it, they're all dating addicts, stop pretending!
roll!
"Nobody believes me when I say it..." Park Jihyo was stunned by the scolding, lowered her head, and muttered to herself.

Upon hearing this, Park Jin-young, with his sharp ears, immediately slammed his hand on the table in anger: "Are you saying you're blaming me?"

"Oh, Ani..."

Hirai Momo then took on the role of temporary "MC," asking Minatozaki Sana on Park Jin-young's behalf, "Sana-chan, when did you and Oppa start dating?"

Upon hearing this, everyone present, including Park Jin-young, turned their curious gazes toward him.

"17 years, but a little later than her."

Sana Minatozaki glanced at Nayeon Lim, who was staring intently at her, and spoke truthfully.

"Is this your reason for stealing unnie's boyfriend?" Originally, Nayeon, Jeongyeon, and Jihyo were the closest in TWICE, but since last year, Nayeon and Jihyo have not been so close. Instead, Nayeon has become closer to Momo and Sana, who are in the same dorm.

She still finds it hard to imagine that such a good friend would get entangled with her boyfriend, just like Kim Ji-soo, who was kicked out of the "Jiangdong Women" group.

Son Chaeyoung counted on her fingers, glanced at Minatozaki Sana, and muttered to herself, 'Little Four!'

Sana Minatozaki looked up in dismay upon hearing this, "Did I steal my older sister's boyfriend?"

"Could it be that my unnie stole something from me? We already liked each other when he first joined JYP. The reason we started dating in 17 was to wait for the dating ban." Even now that she's broken up with Xiaobaicai, she's still not giving up!

To hell with being able to attack or defend... She was betrayed once by that shameless woman and thief "Mina-chan" from her former group of friends, and now she's been betrayed again by her close friend, Nayeon. Only Momo-chan is still there for her.

Hirai Momo's lips curled into a faint smile. In her line of sight, Nayeon unnie was weeping bitterly while angrily shouting, "But we've been together for three years!!!"

"I don't believe any of that nonsense about knowing each other from the beginning and liking each other!" She bared her rabbit teeth, her nose twitching as she sobbed, exuding a mix of strength, anger, unease, and heartbreak.
Where is my happiness?
...How come you slipped away so quickly?

Kim Da-hyun remained sitting listlessly to one side, a sense of sorrow rising inexplicably in her heart!

It's hard to describe why these two women, who were hysterically yelling at each other, are probably the two most assertive people in the group, and both are very career-oriented. So why did they lose their composure when they met Da Da Shuai...?

Sana Minatozaki twitched her nose, which was thick with a nasal tone. She knew that Mina-chan, sitting in the conference room, was definitely waiting to see her make a fool of herself, so she couldn't admit defeat! She raised her head and retorted sharply, "Then, Onii!"

"When Gong Cheng first joined the company—you were the one who hated him the most, weren't you?!"

Every word she spoke was firm and resolute. She watched as Lim Nayeon's face instantly stiffened, her eyes slightly reddening, yet she stubbornly kept her back straight.

"The moment you hated him the most was when I started falling in love with him. What right do you have to accuse me of stealing your boyfriend? Besides, I really didn't know he would date you..."

Park Jin-young was taken aback for a moment, but he did not stop the two from arguing.

Today, I finally saw through that scumbag—my junior! It's better to talk things out face-to-face than to let the whole TWICE fight amongst themselves in the dorm and be completely destroyed.

From another perspective, if he were dating Gong Cheng... he would also be devastated!

Fuck you—[Kujiro Miyamoto]!
Nayeon's face flushed red and paled by Sana's words, her hands clenched into fists on her knees, her nails digging into her flesh. She abruptly stood up, the chair scraping harshly on the floor: "I didn't hate him, I just hadn't realized my own feelings back then..."

"Now, I'll ask you one more time!"

"Anyone currently dating, raise your hand..."

Park Jin-young timely interrupted the two's argument, fearing that if he weren't there, they might have come to blows.
Besides, what's all this noise about!
There are three of them! The thought sent a chill down his spine. If that jerk had only dated the two of you, things would be so much easier…

For the first time ever, he desperately hoped that his devilish junior brother would leave the company as soon as possible! Just like he couldn't keep "Tarot," he had to keep his leading girl group, TWICE.

The remaining members at the conference table—Nan, Momo, Tzuyu, Chaeyoung, and Jeongyeon—silently shook their heads.

"Good good..."

Park Jin-young, seeing that some of the members wouldn't admit their mistakes until they were faced with a dire situation, was about to call them out one by one.

Just then, Minatozaki Sana suddenly stood up from her chair, her movements so quick they were almost unsteady. She didn't even notice her knee hitting the chair leg with a soft thud. Her brown hair, loose over her shoulders, was slightly disheveled. The sharpness of her earlier retort had vanished, replaced by a sense of utter devastation. Even her once straight back had slumped slightly, like a defeated dog drained of all its strength: "Mina-chan, admit it?"

Her heavy nasal tone made her voice hoarse, and her eyes were filled with grievance and despair. Her vision reflected the panicked Mina who had been "betrayed." Minato had just seen it clearly: while she was arguing with Lim Nayeon, this shameless woman was secretly laughing.

How could she not understand what Mina was thinking? But Sana Minato didn't want her to have her way...

Let's all "die" together. If you want to watch the show, it's not that easy!

"…I?"

"What do you mean, 'admit'?" Mina's fair face trembled as she caught sharp glimpses of the other members' gazes.

Her original plan was to hide until the very end and then go to rescue soldier "Makoto-chan". Why did you fire the cannon at me?

"Looks like you don't like him as much as you say? Hmm?"

Sana Minato smiled sarcastically. She felt suffocated with a heavy heart. She couldn't allow someone else to have Xiaobaicai after she lost her. Why should Mina Mina just sit here and watch? Since she had already fallen out with the big sister, Nayeon, why not let this cunning Mina-chan in too!

As Lim Nayeon listened to their conversation, she suddenly turned her red-rimmed eyes to stare at Mina, a bad feeling creeping into her heart.

Sitting next to Son Chaeyoung, Chou Tzuyu kept her short face slightly lowered, as if she wanted to hide herself in a corner of the meeting room, avoid this tense confrontation, and quietly gather information. Watching "Empresses in the Palace" ten times has taught her a lot.

Just as Lim Nayeon and Minatozaki Sana's argument fell into a brief silence, upon hearing Mina's name, she immediately looked up as if by reflex—[Saury] strikes!
Her previously droopy eyelids lifted slightly, and her thick, dark eyebrows arched slightly, like two small brushes, carrying a touch of nonchalant playfulness, yet concealing an imperceptible sharpness. She pursed her lips, seemingly considering her tone, before turning to Mina the next second, her sweet, coquettish Korean voice slowly drifting out: "Mina unnie, aren't you dating your brother?"

The last syllable of her voice trailed off, carrying a hint of feigned naivety and doubt, as if she were merely mentioning a trivial matter. But in the quiet conference room, her words were like a pebble thrown into hot oil, instantly drawing everyone's attention to her and Mina.

Chou Tzu-yu, however, seemed oblivious, maintaining her innocent demeanor as she gently twisted the hem of her hoodie and continued slowly, "Last time I had dinner with my brother, he told me how much you like him~"

She paused deliberately, her gaze sweeping over Mina's instantly frozen face. A faint smile played on her lips, but her eyes betrayed her grievance as she said, "Now it seems you're not all that great after all~ You're not as bold as Nayeon unnie, daring to make it official~ How come you don't even have the courage to stand up and say something to admit it?"

"What did you say, Ziyu?"

Nayeon clenched her fists, gritted her teeth, and turned to Tzuyu, pressing her for an answer.

I was afraid I must have misheard. This maknae only has one "older brother" in Seoul, isn't that—Gong Chengmo?!
"Did you hear what Tzuyu said?" Sana Minato glanced at Tzuyu, who had given her an assist, with surprise, then immediately turned to Mina with a disdainful tone, looking at her flustered little face as she bit her lip, and continued, "So, you dare to do some things but not admit them, Mina-chan?"

Before Mina could speak, Tzuyu quickly put down her coffee, looking confused and apologetic at Nayeon and Sana: "Mian ne Sana unnie, Nayeon unnie, I just found out too, my brother is dating both of you at the same time..."

"I always thought he was dating Mina unnie." As she said this, her face fell. "How could my brother do this?" Although her tone sounded like she was complaining, her face didn't show any resentment.

Honestly, he and Nayeon really surprised her!
"……I,"

Mina gave Chou Tzu-yu a deep look. She'd been playing with hawks all day, but now she'd been pecked in the eye by one. But since things had come to this point, her cold eyes, filled with a chilling intent, swept over the women at the conference table.

I imagine that after today, all of Makoto's girlfriends will have fallen for him. The timing for his grand entrance is actually quite good.
Mina straightened her back slightly, her previously tense shoulders relaxed, and the corners of her mouth suddenly curled up on her cool face. Her smile was light and airy, like a cherry blossom falling on the lake, with a hint of nonchalance, yet it contained an undeniable declaration of sovereignty!
Facing the surprised, wary, or resentful gazes of everyone, she spoke calmly and clearly, word by word: "Yes, I am dating Cheng-chan."

Without the slightest hesitation or further explanation, a single, straightforward sentence instantly shattered the delicate balance that had been maintained between Sana Minatozaki and Nayeon Lim in the conference room.

Sana Minatosaki snorted coldly.

Hirai Momo's pupils contracted slightly in surprise, while Yoo Jeongyeon and Park Jihyo were completely dumbfounded with their mouths agape.

"As for when they started dating, it doesn't matter. What matters most is who can end up with Makoto." Mina had been holding back for so long, and her calm tone was just like her noble and aloof eyes. How could she not want to go public with Makoto?
Turning her face away, she glanced subtly at Makoto's other female friends: "PDnim, I can go public with Makoto-chan." Mina knew perfectly well that her PDnim wouldn't allow it, so she said it without any hesitation. Before, she had endured it! Endured it endlessly…

Now she wants to compete and be the best in everything!
"public?"

Upon hearing this, Park Jin-young threw the printed photos of Mina and Gong Cheng on the table as if playing a card, then slammed his hand on the table with a furious look in his eyes. He glanced around at the Twice members in front of him and said, "I'm telling you, until your Twice contracts expire!"

"None of them can be made public. This isn't just a normal relationship being exposed—this is a fucking scandal!!!"

The anger he had been suppressing suddenly flared up again with those words. Pointing at the photos on the table, he roared angrily, "An absolute scandal!"
Although it won't have much impact on Tarot, it's enough to ruin TWICE and JYP. Once these things are exposed, Park Jin-young will probably be called a "pimp" or "brothel madam".

A bunch of idiots who aren't even thinking straight, shouldn't you break up with that scumbag?
"public?"

Lim Nayeon slumped onto the stool, struggling to breathe!

First it was Sana Minatozaki, and now it's Mina Nai... Makoto Miyamoto, you!

"Who else?"

"We're dating!" Park Jin-young ignored Lim Na-yeon's angry glare at Mina; this kind of thing would come out sooner or later.

Upon hearing this, Yoo Jeongyeon immediately stood up, looking somewhat desperate and devastated: "There are still members dating?"

Damn it, am I the only one seriously working on my career?
"You're surprised too, aren't you, Jeongyeon?" Park Jin-young glanced at the TWICE members with a forced smile. Looking back now, he realized they'd brought in a real menace! "When I first heard the news, I couldn't believe it either..."

Aside from Mina, Sana, and Nayeon staring intently at each other, the other members were either nervous or curiously observing their surroundings.

"Chaeyoung~"

Mina suddenly withdrew her gaze from Lim Nayeon and glanced casually at Son Chaeyoung sitting next to her.

Don't you like to stay close to Makoto?
I'm determined to drag you out and smash your "shell." My own firepower might not be enough, but aren't there Nayeon and Sana Minatozaki? And that sly "dumb fish" too.

"Don't you want to say anything?" she said softly, her expressionless face making her words sound particularly jarring in the icy atmosphere of the conference room.
Yoo Jeongyeon's eyes widened: "Chaeyoung is dating too? Doesn't she like those cool, aloof rappers...?!?"

I'll fuck you, Hajime!

At this point, she suddenly realized something, and looked at the maknae with a twitching mouth: "Chaeyoung, don't tell me you're dating that jerk too?" As soon as she said that, almost everyone in the conference room except Park Jin-young, Mina, and Dahyun realized what was going on.

A cool and aloof rapper?

Gong Cheng can be said to have started as a rapper. Even though his pop, rock, and R&B songs are all best-sellers and popular all over the world, his rap skills are still top-notch and stand on Mount Rushmore, even in the mainstream music market of Europe and America.

His first Trap single, "Rockstar," was a chart-topping hit in 17, earning him tens of millions of dollars.

Not to mention the few hip-hop tracks he released last year, which not only became a global phenomenon and unlocked a new number of number-one singles, but "God's Plan" was also nominated for this year's Grammy Award for Best Rap Song.

"Inside~"

Son Chaeyoung nodded calmly and admitted without hesitation: "Oppa and I started dating in 16, haha."

The soft chuckle at the end of the sentence, light and airy, was like a thunderclap, instantly silencing the conference room. Sixteen years—earlier than Lim Nayeon's "belated realization," Minatozaki Sana's "initial attraction," and Mani Mina's "frank admission," early enough to overturn everyone's previous guesses about the "chronological order."

As she spoke, she gave a cold look to Lin Nalian, one of the women from Jiangdong, Minatozaki Sana, and Mina.

When Son Chaeyoung saw Mina's smug smile, her expression finally changed. Her words, however, were like sharp knives, piercing Mina precisely: "I really don't understand what unnie is so smug about? What gives you the confidence to say that the order of appearance doesn't matter, as long as we end up together..."

She had nothing to be afraid of. Even the arrogant and domineering Sana Minatozaki from just now was nothing more than her oppa's ex-girlfriend—a paper tiger!
No one is as powerful as her, a real tiger.
"Are you dating Oppa too?"

Hirai Momo, who had been resting her chin on her hand, trying to watch the chaotic standoff unfold, suddenly turned her head sharply when Son Chaeyoung's words reached her ears, the movement so quick she almost knocked over her chair. Her mouth opened uncontrollably, as if it could stuff in her beloved teacher's rough...

Her eyes were filled with utter bewilderment. She couldn't believe that, besides the already known "teacher's wife" Lim Nayeon, the recently admitted Mina, and the emotionally agitated Minatozaki Sana, there was now Chaeyoung!

Hirai Momo blinked, then blinked hard, as if trying to dispel the "illusion" in front of her, but Son Chaeyoung's confident look made the shock in her heart surge like a tide, and even her breathing slowed down.

Master, I'm so angry!

Didn't you say that I only have one teacher's wife?

The wise Momo-chan took a deep breath, her shoulders trembling slightly; she could hardly breathe...

“Yes~” Son Chae-young answered again.

"..." On the other side, Tzuyu was completely stunned. Her playful and witty demeanor vanished instantly. She pursed her lips tightly, her small white teeth pressing against her lower lip, and even bit down slightly, not even noticing the faint red mark left on her lips.

Son Chaeyoung's words kept echoing in my mind, along with the admissions from Lim Nayeon, Minatozaki Sana, and Mani Mina. It was all so confusing!

Brother, how could you be so wicked? I can't breathe!

...As for Lim Nayeon and Minatozaki Sana, the sharp edge they had displayed in their previous confrontation had long since vanished. Both of them stood frozen in place, their pupils slightly unfocused, their eyes devoid of anger or resentment, only filled with a deathly despair.

Nayeon slowly loosened her hands from her knees, her fingertips still retaining the stiffness from her previous clenching. Sana Minatozaki lowered her head slightly, her sideburns obscuring most of her face, revealing only her slightly trembling shoulders.

How many?
How many members does TWICE have? If you include Nayeon, that's four!
But she knew perfectly well that there were also Kim Jisoo, Bae Joo-hyun, and Jo Mi-yeon outside. At that moment, Lim Na-yeon felt a chill run through her body, her heart was ice-cold, and she felt like she was about to shatter.

It seems that the friendship they cherished and the team TWICE they protected—all seemed to collapse into ruins in an irreversible direction at this moment.

"So, I really want to ask, unnies~ why are you all trying to steal my boyfriend?" Son Chaeyoung grinned, showing her little tiger teeth, but her smile didn't reveal any of her usual liveliness and joy. Instead, her words sounded incredibly sarcastic to the others.

"Do you think I'm too young to understand anything, or that I'm easy to bully?" She paused, her little tiger teeth gently biting her lower lip, the indifference in her eyes fading, replaced by a sharp questioning look.

Before anyone else could respond, Son Chaeyoung's voice rang out again, this time tinged with a melancholic nostalgia. She played the emotional card, recounting past events:
“When Oppa had nothing but a guitar, I was there for him, telling him, ‘Oppa, keep going, you’ll be famous someday!’”

At this point, Son Chaeyoung's eyes lit up, as if recalling warm memories, but this warmth quickly vanished:
"Unnies, do you like Tarot who can provide you with resources, or Miyako, who was cyberbullied three years ago and ended up sitting on the balcony smoking?"

After she finished speaking, the conference room fell into complete silence. Sun Caiying still grinned with her little tiger teeth, but the sarcasm in her smile was like a net, covering everyone inside. She used the most straightforward "past" to contrast with Gong Cheng's current "glory".

Even though she's always been rebellious and has a strong personality, Son Chaeyoung's eyes were a little red when she asked this question. She grinned, revealing her little tiger teeth, and her voice sounded unusually aggrieved. She looked angrily at Mina: "So, unnie, what right do you have to come up to me and provoke me?"

"...You're a hypocrite!"

"Before Oppa became famous, why didn't I see you clinging to him?" Son Chaeyoung felt so choked up that she could hardly breathe. Recalling all the moments she had shared with Gong Cheng over the past few years, the happiest days for her were the time before Gong Cheng became famous. But what about now?

She then turned to Sana Minatozaki and Nayeon and launched an area-of-effect attack: "When you were secretly happy with the high-end endorsements that Oppa gave you, you must have been very proud of yourselves, right?"

Kim Da-hyun stood there stunned, listening to her good friend's words, feeling extremely uncomfortable!

That's right. Chaeyoung was the first one to arrive. In the beginning, she was the one who kept watch for Little Tiger and Big Handsome. So she can empathize with them and understand why Little Tiger's eyes are red and he's bursting with emotion.

My friend, she knows everything, she understands everything, but she just won't say it...

"Unnies...don't you think...you're disgusting?" Son Chaeyoung's previously cool and delicate face was suddenly flooded with tears. Crystalline tears streamed down her cheeks like broken beads. She raised her head, tears streaming down her face, and looked defiantly at Lim Nayeon, Minatozaki Sana, and Mina...

These later women not only seduce their boyfriends, but also try to get high-end luxury brand endorsements from their male relatives, even though they don't have them themselves and they're not in a hurry.

Her boyfriend told her to wait, so she agreed. After all, she wasn't very popular in the group, so it was fine.

But who can tolerate a shameless woman like Mina unnie constantly trying to sow discord between them? So, sometimes, she felt utterly disgusted looking at those hypocritical unnies in front of her!
The accusatory words echoed in the meeting room, reaching the ears of all the TWICE members. Tzuyu reached out her small hand and patted Chaeyoung's shoulder.

As Park Jin-young listened to Son Chae-young's tearful screams and watched the members' expressions of collapse and despair, he saw cracks slowly forming in their relationships, widening like a fissure in the earth. He couldn't help but roar inwardly!
Gong Cheng—Are you going to ruin TWICE?!
"yours."

Park Jin-young tossed the photo of Son Chae-young and Gong Cheng onto the table, then glanced at Hirai Momo sitting not far away, looking completely bewildered, and handed her the last photo: "This is yours."

Kim Da-hyun's face twitched, feeling numb from pinching it. Jin-young had come prepared!
Thank goodness the photos weren't swallowed. There are so many, how am I ever going to swallow them all?

"And there are pastry chefs?"

Yoo Jeongyeon, Park Jihyo, and Chou Tzuyu were completely numb. They glanced at the last photo on the table.

It was a photo of Hirai Momo and Miyako having dinner together, but this photo didn't show any of the other people's closeness. However, at this point, the members didn't dare to say anything and simply concluded that they were having a meal together.

Facing the gazes of Nayeon, Sana, Jeongyeon, Tzuyu, and Chaeyoung, Momo cleared her throat, then let out a long sigh and said frankly, "Oppa and I started dating last year."

Having said all she wanted to say, she lowered her face. Her long black hair brushed against her fair neck as she looked down, and tears welled up in the corners of Momo's eyes, hidden beneath her hair.

She had thought that Ai Shi wasn't a good person, but how could you be so wicked?

A group has nine members, plus myself, who is the only one of them...

Master, you've lied to me again...

Sana Minato stared blankly at Momo Hirai's head bowed, then looked at Mina Mina in disbelief. "Are we 'Sakura Line' in love with the same boy?"

When did our perspectives and aesthetics become so aligned?
She gave a self-deprecating laugh, then broke down and buried her face in the table, sobbing uncontrollably!
"Jeongyeon... *sniffle*!" Nayeon's eyes were already red and swollen from crying, like a light bulb. She sniffled, hugged the furious Jeongyeon, and cried out tremblingly, "He, he..."

"How could he do this? Jeongyeon!"

"I've been dating him for three years, and he... he actually cheated on me all the time! Waaaaah!" Lim Nayeon cried, trembling in Yoo Jeongyeon's arms.

Park Jihyo also randomly selected a heartbroken member—Hirai Momo—and hugged her as she sobbed, offering her comfort.

Aigoo, finally she's gotten rid of the "dating addict" label!

……

Traffic jams in Seoul were irritating. Gong Cheng leaned against the back seat window, his handsome features obscured by a scarf, glancing sideways at the still-unmelted snow on the streets of Seoul. He felt a tightness, a sense of suffocation, and pulled his scarf down.

The sharp-eyed driver immediately recognized him in the rearview mirror: "You're Tarot, right?"

"Yes." Gong Cheng pulled himself out of his wandering thoughts, looked back, and nodded.

"Holy crap, I actually met a real person!" The driver excitedly patted the steering wheel, then sincerely asked, "When we get there, could you please take a picture with me? I'd like to get the photo printed and keep it in the car."

"It's possible." Gong Cheng's pale face was still tinged with the effects of the alcohol at the wedding. He had been somewhat sobered up by the shocking news of the "explosion," but now he had a splitting headache and wanted to say something to distract himself from his restless and anxious attention.

So he asked softly, "Why did you put it in the car?"

"Because I'm your fan!"

The driver shook his head and laughed heartily, then said very seriously, "And another thing, I guarantee that out of ten passersby on the street, nine have heard your songs, and more than half of them are your fans. If they ride in my car and see that my car has had the honor of carrying you, they will feel lucky and it will bring them a good mood~"

He spoke with great conviction and conviction.

Gong Cheng chuckled softly, "Then let's take a couple more pictures, Ajusshi~"

"Kamsammida~"

……

In the meeting room, Kim Da-hyun squatted helplessly in the corner, listening to her sisters-in-law accusing each other and recounting their previous "betrayal".

For a moment, her thoughts drifted back to the spring of 16. Memories of her and Da Da Shuai flashed through her mind like a revolving lantern. In the beginning, she had advised him many times, and even criticized him severely for "subordinate over superior"—he couldn't do that!
It's wrong for one person to be in relationships with so many women at the same time!

Moreover, the people you associate with are all my "beloved friends and family." But right now, her eyelids drooped, and a profound philosophical thought flashed in her eyes: If you do something wrong, you always have to accept the punishment, right?

At first, the handsome young man was stubbornly unrepentant, terribly wrong. But later, she was wrong too. And then, when she finally realized her mistake, the "unnies" had already become "sisters-in-law," and there was no going back…

In that case, Mr. General, the Blue Dragon Film Queen will stand by you and face this together.

Kim Da-hyun carefully raised the back of her hand and wiped away the tears that were falling from the corner of her eyes in the corner of her eye. She understood very well that she and Da-da-shuai had to pay for their past mistakes.

But the hand resting on the phone's chat window was sending Gong Cheng a message: "Oppa, please don't think about running away... please don't think about developing your career in America, please don't think about going back to China for a few days to wait for your wives to calm down before coming back... don't think about waiting for things to calm down before coming back..."

"You should just run away... Waaah, I don't want you to die, oppa~"

While crying, Tofu glanced furtively at her sisters-in-law confronting each other not far away. Rather than collecting the marshal's corpse, she figured it was better to run as far away as possible.
I'll cover the rear!

……

At this moment, the road to work is crowded with fans of many artists and groups under the company, as well as some fans who have traveled from Europe, America, China, Japan and other countries to take photos.

Suddenly, a taxi stopped in front of the building. The door opened, and Gong Cheng, dressed in a luxurious matte black suit, attracted the attention of many fans as soon as he stepped out of the car. His unbuttoned suit jacket revealed a plain white shirt underneath and a bow tie that had not yet been removed from his chest. His broad shoulders and narrow waist, along with the hem of his jacket and straight trousers, fluttered wildly in the cold air of Seoul.

Gong Cheng closed the car door, took off his scarf, revealing a handsome nose and thin lips below his eyebrows.

The shouts of fans who recognized him reached his ears:
"TTTTTarot!"

"Oppa!"

"..."

Gong Cheng forced a smile and greeted the fans not far away. He glanced at the security guard smoking in the smoking area and walked straight over.

Without much formality, I asked for a cigarette. The security guard chuckled and leaned over to light it for me with a "click": "I've heard from many employees that you've been preparing to go to the Grammys to receive an award in a few days. What brings you to the company all of a sudden?"

"There are some things to take care of."

Gong Cheng exhaled smoke mixed with the cold air. Not far away, fans outside the smoking area were taking pictures with their long lenses and tripods. In his current bad mood, he had no time to think about those things. Instead, he planned to wait for the cigarette to burn out before calmly going upstairs.

"Oppa?!"

Gong Cheng, who was standing quietly in the cold wind, suddenly heard a shout from the company gate not far away.

Five girls, fully made up and wearing down jackets, were standing in a line in front of the van, serving food to fans at the company entrance. The one who spoke was Huang Lizhi—Little Prisoner, wearing an orange down jacket, squinting his fox-like eyes, and smiling as he raised his arm and waved.

Immediately afterwards, he ran over quickly, pinched his nose, and squeezed into the smoking room.

When the security guards saw [ITZY] and his group come out, they rushed to "protect" them.

"Oppa, didn't you quit smoking?"

Huang Lizhi glanced at Gong Cheng's burning cigarette and his face shrouded in smoke with obvious surprise. It seemed this guy was in a bad mood.
Just like the unnies of TWICE.

"Yes, I've given it up."

“…I only smoke one occasionally.” Gong Cheng forced a smile into his warm eyes. After seeing Huang Lizhi pinching his nose and looking quite funny, he stubbed out the half-smoked cigarette in the ashtray above the trash can and raised his hand to disperse the smoke.

Are you in a bad mood?

Hwang Ye-ji asked directly, glancing back every now and then at the members in front of the van not far away. They, [itzy], had just debuted and still had many activities and performance stages to attend.

Turning back again, she saw Gong Cheng's face, obscured by smoke, tilting his head slightly as he gazed at the top of the company building. Curious, she looked up at him too and asked, "What is Oppa looking at?"

"Let's take a look~ the place where I worked for three years." Gong Cheng said softly, looking at the new building he had earned himself, which rose from the ground in 17~ The red coffee cup at the entrance is really ugly! The JYP sign on the company building is in a really mediocre position.

Although I still have a few months left on my contract with the company, I might not be able to wait until summer.

After this incident, it would be a miracle if that senior colleague still allowed me to stay at JYP.

...Wait a minute, Mr. Gong is now a shareholder and director of JYP, after all~
"Isn't Oppa's contract with the company still a while away?" Hwang Yeji frowned shrewdly, sensing something was amiss. "Besides, Oppa's going to the Grammys in a couple of days! He'll definitely bring back several trophies~"

"The company must be racking their brains trying to renew Oppa's contract, right?" she guessed with a smile.

“It’s like this.” Gong Cheng couldn’t help but laugh when he heard her words, then his tone became complicated: “But Reiji~ the Grammys, that’s not what I wanted…”

"Alright, alright~ You should go and make your schedule."

He raised his hand and patted Hwang Ye-ji on the shoulder, then pointed to the ITZY manager waving from not far away, seemingly urging him on.

"Isn't the Grammys what Oppa wants?" Hwang Yeji turned to look at her manager, then asked one last time, "Then what does Oppa want?"

"..."

Gong Cheng smiled at her but didn't say anything. Then, his phone beeped in his pocket. He walked out of the smoking room, his tall figure standing beneath the JYP building, and glanced down at the message from Xiao Xiao Guai Doufu:

“Oppa, please don’t think about running away… please don’t think about developing your career in America, please don’t think about going back to China for a few days to wait for your wives to calm down before coming back… please don’t think about waiting for things to calm down before coming back…”

"You should just run away... Waaah, I don't want you to die, oppa~"

He couldn't help but chuckle softly.

Throughout the entire piece, the author tells themselves not to run, yet secretly longs to escape far, far away.
For our reconnaissance soldier, Captain Kim, to say such a thing, Gong Cheng knew that the seriousness of the situation was far beyond his imagination. Looking at the message "You should run away~" sent by Doufu, he replied, "Dahyun~ I will definitely give you a Blue Dragon Award for Best Actress."

【Spy 1 - Little Monster Tofu】: "Oppa, what time is it? Listen to me, run now, go to America or China, the farther the better!"

Gong Cheng stood in the cold wind, staring at the message sent by Kim Da-hyun.

He couldn't quite describe the feeling in his heart. It was as if the taut string in his heart, stretched for the past few years, had snapped completely with a "snap." Like a guitar string, the lingering resonance as it broke echoed in his heart, leaving bloodshot veins.
Painful, yet liberating.

run?
In 17, when he dated Lim Nayeon, Gong Zheng told a little lie; when he dated Sana, he lied again; last year, when he was with his protégé, Gong Zheng again told a white lie; and with Bae Joo-hyun? Same thing…

So today—Master Gong isn't leaving!
Amidst the flashing lights of numerous fans' cameras and microphones, Gong Cheng, his black hair ruffled by the wind, raised a finger with a melancholic yet earnest expression, replying to Xiao Xiaoguai Doufu: "Dahyun-ah~~"

"Didn't my brother say that?"

"A man should have style..."

From today onwards, I will live an honest and upright life...
