The number one playboy on the Peninsula!

Chapter 384 Mina's Ballet ~ Ex-Girlfriend's Group Leader (Seeking Monthly Tickets)
At 6:30 pm, TWICE's concert quietly began in the night at the Tokyo Dome.

The deafening cheers of ONCEs echoed from all sides of the venue. The light stick, officially named "CANDY BONG," was designed with "candy" as its core concept. Its overall shape was both sweet and distinctive, and its appearance and function perfectly matched the group's "energetic and refreshing" style.

There are plenty of lightstick-shaped merchandise items, including fluffy decorative light covers with hidden bunny ear decorations, echoing TWICE's nickname "TWICE"...

"..."

Amidst cheers, Gong Cheng lazily leaned against the railing of the high platform, watching the members ascending the stage via the lift.

Nine people, all lined up neatly.

Faces adored by fans, beaming with excitement, appeared on the LED screen. Wearing camouflage off-shoulder short-sleeved shirts and black skirts, their slender white legs clad in black knee-high boots, they began the opening performance.

The spotlight shone on the women's faces.

Gong Cheng, who had been feeling sentimental lately, was in a daze at this moment.

Kim Da-hyun, who didn't have much of a part, stood in the corner of the stage, her fair and delicate face scattering food and making heart gestures towards the fans in the front row. Her usual professional smile was now shining even under her narrow single eyelids.

Son Chaeyoung, holding Tofu and Tzuyu's hands, stood in front of the fans and gave a salute, just like the members of the food group.

In Misamo, compared to the other two, the Shiba Inu girl is more likely to charm fans.

The simple wink showed no signs of awkwardness from not doing it for a long time; on the contrary, it made Gong Cheng smile...

Yoo Jeong-yeon, who debuted with short hair, has now grown her hair to medium length.

The superstar, flashing her rabbit teeth, is probably going to perform a solo song tonight.

As for the dating celebrity, Park Ji-hyo?
...Gong Cheng did not look at him.

Sitting in the stands, calmly observing the female members and other members, Gong Cheng realized that it had been a long time since he had seriously looked at them... It was as if you were with them all day and just thought they were a bunch of noisy, crazy women.

But now a distance has suddenly grown between them, and the memories of their time together are now juxtaposed with the estrangement they share.

For a moment, Haji was filled with emotion.

When our Tofu first debuted, her cheeks were chubby and round. She wasn't particularly pretty when she smiled, but she was adorably silly.

Now, I've lost weight.

Sana-chan has also lost a lot of weight...

"innayeon !yo囧样！momo酱！sana酱！pajiyou！mina酱！jindayang！sunsample！chousiwi！one in a millionsesanehei！hanhanabuyi！tu！wai！yi！si！

The cheers for "Once" were enthusiastic.

Gong Cheng, chewing on the straw of his cola, straightened up and casually shouted, "Tu! Wai! Yi! Si!"

The performance of "What is Love?" has ended...

When a cheerful intro blared from the speakers all around the Tokyo Dome, the fans in the stadium erupted in even greater excitement.

"Ahhhhh!!!"

Gong Cheng casually adjusted the brim of his baseball cap, glancing at the members under the LED screen on the square stage. Their expressions, which had been joyful just moments before, now seemed somewhat... awkward? Or perhaps an unnatural blush.

If he remembered correctly, the sound of sampling equipment being called out like a menu echoed in his ears throughout the venue: "Nayeon, Jeongyeon, Momo, Sana, Jihyo, Mina, Dahyun, Chaeyoung, Tzuyu, we are TWICE~"

From "TWICE SONG".

A song that made TWICE blush while singing.

"TWICE SONG" was released during TWICE's Signal era, around 17, but it was not included in any album. It's more like a fan song. It was created because when they appeared on many shows, many hosts and MCs asked if fans would mistake or forget who among the many members of TWICE.

Gong Cheng used to hum this song a lot in TWICE's practice room, which drew a lot of eye-rolls and made the members irritable.

"Age is a big deal~" Lim Nayeon, very professionally grinning with her bunny teeth, sang her part: "When it comes to being cute, I'm the youngest~"

But no matter how dedicated she was, after humming her own song, she awkwardly hid her rabbit teeth, pursed her lips, and looked away.

He lacked even a trace of the composure expected of a seasoned artist with only four years in the industry…

"Oh oh oh oh! Ahhh!"

The fans cheered enthusiastically.

"...Beautiful as a goddess~ Dancing machine Momo~" Hirai Momo stretched out her philtrum, her face burning, but she continued singing cowardly: "Momo must be so happy~"

"Hh~" Amidst the screams of the crowd, Gong Cheng burst into laughter at an inopportune moment.

Aww, my jade syndrome is almost cured!
Sana Minatozaki, with a sharp yet sweet voice, said, "I can't live without Sana~ so shy so shy~ Oppa~ Unnie~ I can't live without Sana~"

With a face as small as a Shiba Inu's, he put down the microphone with a smile to cover his embarrassment.

But seeing ONCEs waving their light sticks and singing their heart-wrenching songs made her feel a little better.

TWICE SONG, a song for fans to recognize the members, so at PDnim's suggestion, each member sang a part describing themselves. A certain newbie has ridiculed them more than once.

"Tsk tsk..." The spotlight, as bright as day, fell on the stage, making Kim Da-hyun's fair skin glow as if it were shimmering. Gong Cheng complained on behalf of Da-hyun, "Is Da-hyun's song only a few lines? It's so pitiful..."

Standing at the edge of the stage, Kim Da-hyun made a funny face: "Tofu~ Tofu~ Dudu~"

"Tofu~ Tofu~ Dahyun~"

"Tofu~ Tofu~ Dudu~"

"Tofu~ Dahyun~"

"..."

"Aaaaaaaaaaa!"

Amidst the screams, Mina pursed her lips. She knew Makoto was watching from somewhere in the stadium, and blushed with embarrassment. She murmured softly, "Sparkling Mina~ What a stunning beauty~"

"Unnie~ Oppa~ Chaeyoung's heart~" Son Chaeyoung grinned, showing her little tiger teeth as if she were swimming.

Only Chou Tzuyu stood there, looking utterly tormented, her eyes darting away from the other members. Finally, with a tragic air, she took the microphone and cried out, "Heartbeat alert~ Tzuyu~"

"Sweet and sour~ Tzuyu!!!"

"Ohh~ Ohh!"

"Team formation complete!"

"..."

Gong Cheng put down his cola, unable to suppress the smile on his face. To be honest, he felt that no one could help but smile after hearing this song.

Even after four years since their debut, the members still looked embarrassed when singing this song on stage. He guessed that maybe they'd have to wait another four years, or until TWICE's tenth anniversary?
Perhaps the members can sing this song with the composure of veteran artists?
Just as he was laughing happily with his head down, Gong Cheng raised his Coke, took a sip through the straw, and laughed until he couldn't breathe.

But the screams from the fans who had just been chanting TWICE's support slogans suddenly became even more intense.

...Gong Cheng, somewhat puzzled, suppressed his laughter, then cheerfully raised his eyelids, wanting to see what was going on.

You can tilt your head slightly so that the brim of the baseball cap no longer obstructs your vision.

With clear, bright eyes, she saw the director on the big screen focusing the camera on her face, her bright smile and smiling eyes showing that she was in a great mood.

The fans at the scene went wild when they saw Gong Cheng's handsome face on the LED screen!

Since announcing his temporary departure from the music scene, "Tarot" has almost disappeared from the public eye. In the past month, only in Seoul have fans been able to spot his speeding Bugatti on the street, or secretly photograph him dining and drinking outside.

“TTTTTTTTTTTTTTarot!”

"Oppa!"

"Ah ah ah ah ah……"

The roar of an incredibly powerful sonic wave filled the Tokyo Dome.

Gong Cheng subconsciously pulled his hat brim down, thinking shamelessly.

It seems the Onces really approve of their brother-in-law...

Upon hearing the fans' commotion, the nine members of TWICE on stage quickly looked up at the LED screen in mid-air. Many of the members' faces, which had been absent for a long time, were now half-covered by the shadow of baseball caps, revealing only their sharp jawlines and the corners of their mouths.

Kim Da-hyun is very good at debating positions.

His eyes quickly locked onto the stands where Gong Cheng was, and he stood on the stage with a beaming smile, waving towards the "mountain top" of the stadium. Holding a microphone in one hand, he greeted everyone with a smile, "Oppa~ You came to our concert~"

During the interactive segment, the director kept focusing the camera on Gong Cheng, and many fans in the stands quickly turned around to look for him.

When Once, who was sitting outside the railing in front of Gong Cheng, turned around and saw Gong Cheng's tall figure, he immediately stood up excitedly, covered his mouth, and exclaimed, "..."

Faced with Xiaoxiaoguai Doufu's message from afar, Gong Cheng helplessly raised his face towards the camera, nodded, and then raised his hand to wave to the members and greet the fans at the scene.

On stage, the members of TWICE displayed a variety of expressions.

Lim Nayeon raised the microphone, forced a smile, and wanted to greet everyone in a generous manner, but the words caught in her throat.

but……

I can't do this...

...After a long thirty seconds, the director's camera cut back to the faces of the TWICE members.

Gong Cheng breathed a sigh of relief, glanced at the excited ONCEs below the railing, waved, and then, as the intro to another song began and the lights in the hall went out, quietly retreated to the exit passage.

……

In late March, the sea breeze in Hyogo Prefecture was still slightly cool and damp. Miyako followed the employees of the Tokyo branch, walking through the asphalt road in the coastal residential area, where the cherry blossom trees on both sides were in full bloom.

TWICE's concert at Tokyo Dome lasted for two days, and all 90000 tickets were sold out. Meanwhile, Makoto Miyamoto followed Mina's advice and began choosing a temporary residence in Hyogo, Kansai.

Arriving at a residential area with detached houses, Gong Cheng listened to the homeowner's introduction while looking around at the house. It was located on a gentle slope overlooking the sea, only a few hundred meters from the coastline, and the second-floor terrace offered a view of the Seto Inland Sea...

It's not far from Awaji Island, a popular tourist destination in the area.

Gong Cheng took out his phone and filmed a short video in the room, sending the view of the seaside villa to Ming Jingnan for her opinion.

Moreover, she's a local. Who knows, she might have passed through here when she lived in Hyogo. It's quite a strange coincidence...

"..."

After consulting with Mina, Miyako readily agreed, went to complete the formalities with the homeowner, and bought the property. Compared to Seoul, Hyogo was much cheaper.

……

When Gong Cheng returned to Tokyo, it was already past 10 p.m.

TWICE just finished their concert and are working non-stop to prepare to fly back to Seoul tomorrow morning. The members of TWICE, along with Sana Minatozaki and Momo Hirai, went out for dinner with their parents on a street in Tokyo, spending time with their family.

The rest of the members strolled around shopping malls in the bustling downtown area, doing things like shopping.

Little Strange Tofu dragged Zhou Ziyu and Sun Caiying to Senso-ji Temple in Taitung District to pray for the General's speedy recovery from his illness. She had already learned from Sister-in-law Minami about the General's confirmed condition.

However, following Mina's advice, Kim Da-hyun did not inform the other members of the "Medical Integrity" alliance, namely Tzuyu and Chaeyoung, who were standing beside her, of the details.

On the one hand, she knows perfectly well which of all these "sisters-in-law" are good to the big boss.

Although Tofu thought that Sister-in-law Mina wasn't that great, not as good as her...

Compared to the other women in her family, she was considered "the one with the biggest breasts among a group of flat-chested women".

Meanwhile, Captain Kim had her own ulterior motives. The terrifying dream she had in the cabin that day made her realize the truth.

Sitting idly by won't work, so we need to start researching the competitors of "Parasite" as soon as possible. She anticipates that with the speed at which her husband is finding her a sister-in-law, Tzuyu might become her "little sister-in-law" by then.
Therefore, we absolutely cannot tell them that the Marshal is indeed sick!

The general's illness was one of the backup plans that Doufu had been thinking about for a long time... If "Parasite" is released and the "sisters-in-law" dare to fly into a rage just because she kissed the big brother, then she will expose those heartless "sisters-in-law"!

What's wrong with a kiss? My handsome boyfriend got sick, and I was the one who stayed with him!

Where were you when the general needed you most? Besides, you bunch of insects were all sleeping with the commander-in-chief, and I was just eating, so what?!

This "information gap" is actually the best way to punish the "sisters-in-law". Before he became depressed, the big man relied on the "information gap" to take advantage of these "sisters-in-law". He even secretly learned a trick to take advantage of them.

"Sigh~ It's closed as expected. You didn't believe me when I told you." Arriving at Senso-ji Temple, Tzuyu looked at the brightly lit temple in front of her. The red buildings and pillars were decorated with red lanterns with the words "Kofune-cho" written in black ink. Before coming here, she had suspected that it must be closed at this time.

The guidebook says it closes at 5 pm.

Dahyun, however, was adamant about coming, insisting on a night tour of Senso-ji Temple. Even if they couldn't enter the temple, the scenery and lights at night were still quite beautiful. Chou Tzu-yu checked the travel guides and saw that many tourists had indeed taken night tours of the area around Senso-ji Temple without buying tickets, so she suggested the night tour and agreed.

Son Chaeyoung yawned lazily, glanced at Kim Dahyun, and asked suspiciously, "What are you doing?"

Below my line of sight, this dear friend... was standing on the lime-colored steps, having taken off his baseball cap and mask, revealing a neatly styled bun and a serious face. He clasped his hands together and shifted his position, facing the direction where the temple enshrines the statues of gods. He lowered his head slightly, closed his eyelids with a pious expression, and his little mouth moved as if he were muttering something.

Chou Tzu-yu was also a little confused. She stared blankly at Kim Da-hyun for a moment, then raised her hand and poked her: "How about we go eat first?"

The nearby shopping street has great snacks and scenery, something she and Son Chaeyoung already knew, which is why they readily agreed to Kim Da-hyun's suggestion to go to Senso-ji Temple.

Just like the warm yellow light that fills the area in front of Senso-ji Temple right now, falling on Dahyun's fair face.

At first glance, it actually has a kind of... divine radiance?

"Say something, Dahyun?" Son Chaeyoung's mind wandered, and she made wild connections. This friend had recently been helping her boyfriend manage JYP's shares and had become an acting director, which meant she had entered the upper echelons of JYP. PDnim's lover had always been associated with a cult. Could it be that...?

Is the company's upper management a cult? Was Dahyun assimilated after she went in? The thought sent chills down her spine!

But he secretly admired his own imagination, and grinned, showing his tiger teeth.

"I hope the General is healthy, the wives are harmonious, and I win the Blue Dragon Film Award for Best Actress..." Kim Da-hyun silently uttered her little wish in her heart. For the gods, this wish would be easily granted, right? She wasn't greedy at all; it wasn't like she wanted any gold or jewels.
As she prayed, her small hands clasped together trembled as if she were worshipping Buddha, seemingly chanting incantations.

Tzuyu pursed her lips worriedly and poked Dahyun's shoulder: "Dahyun, have you joined some kind of cult?"

"..." Kim Da-hyun opened his eyes, glanced at her, and smacked his lips: "What nonsense are you talking about?"

"I'm praying for blessings~ Otherwise, why would we come to Senso-ji Temple?" she explained her actions with a smile.

Son Chae-young guessed with suspicion, "So, you're facing that way because the statue is in that direction?"

"Hey~" After offering her blessing, Kim Da-hyun patted her friend on the shoulder with a relaxed and happy expression. "Sincerity is key!"

Upon hearing those four words, Chou Tzu-yu couldn't help but glance back at Senso-ji Temple and mutter to herself, "If they don't buy tickets, it doesn't seem like they're being sincere, does it?"

"The gods wouldn't be so vulgar, would they?" Kim Da-hyun scratched her head suspiciously, her good mood that had just risen in her heart dissipating a little, but she still shrugged nonchalantly: "Whatever, my wish has come true, I'll come back and pay for the ticket."

Chou Tzu-yu added with a shrug: "Gods probably don't accept credit either..."

"Tzuyu!" Kim Dahyun stood there, furious and embarrassed, and shouted angrily at Zhou Tzuyu.

Son Chaeyoung raised her little face in agreement, grinned, and said with her tiger teeth, "Tzuyu is right, Dahyun~ Your wish will not come true, will it?"

After saying that, the little tiger and the fathead fish exchanged a glance, then chuckled and ran towards the commercial street ahead, following the streetlights.
Kim Da-hyun chased after them in a fit of rage, yelling, "Hey! You two..."

Meanwhile, in a hotel in Tokyo.

Mina and Makoto Miyagi sat close together in front of the TV screen, operating the controller: "Makoto-chan, my brother will come to help you when you move into the Hyogo residence in a few days, so don't be shy."

She whispered some instructions about what to do after returning to Seoul tomorrow: "Also, you must go to Aunt Eiko's hospital for treatment on time, understand?"

As they talked, seeing Gong Cheng's character being beaten back by her on the screen, Mina pouted her pink lips and unintentionally let loose.

Cheng-chan, I don't have much talent for games~
"Don't worry, Arasso~" Gong Cheng's eyes lit up with excitement after seeing Ko-Nai Mina's character; his skills were on fire today! Games are only fun when they're evenly matched. "Since I promised to treat you, I'll definitely go, not just for myself, but for you too~"

Hagi Cheng, while spouting witty remarks, started another game.

Mina glanced at him helplessly, "Makoto-chan, I'm leaving tomorrow!"

“I know. I should be going back to Seoul in a few days. We can meet up.” Gong Cheng focused on controlling his game character. It’s only a two-and-a-half-hour round trip from Tokyo to Seoul, very convenient, just like the house he bought in Hyogo. Whether he lives there or not, it doesn’t matter.

Even if he were to return to Seoul and commute to Tokyo twice a week, it would be quite convenient in this day and age. However, living in an unfamiliar environment like Hyogo would certainly improve his mood, and Miyako wanted to give it a try.

Seeing his excited expression while playing the game, Mina stretched out her leg on the carpet and swung her fair foot: "Is the game more important than me?"

“You,” Gong Cheng replied seriously, without glancing at Mina’s feet. After defeating Mina’s game character once again, he couldn’t help but turn his head and raise an eyebrow triumphantly: “I’ve gotten stronger!!!”

"Can you feel it, Mina-chan?" Such a shameless question, with a look of pure joy at becoming stronger.

Seeing this, Mina felt embarrassed to reveal the truth. With a doting look in her eyes and a slight smile, she nodded and praised, "Makoto-chan, have you been secretly practicing for a long time? You've really improved a lot; I can't even beat you anymore~"

As she spoke, she put down the handle, raised her small hand, and pulled down the collar of the white long-sleeved shirt on both sides of her shoulders, revealing her fair collarbone. The loose long sleeves, under Mina's styling, immediately became a bare-shoulder style. Then, blushing, she made a "hmm" sound, as if hinting at something.

"Are you trying to seduce me?" Gong Cheng caught a glimpse of this scene out of the corner of his eye, and his eyes twitched.

Our Mina-chan is a total pervert, even though she looks so delicate. In private, she loves gore, horror, and zombie movies.

Otherwise, why would I have stolen his "butter" to play with in the first place?
Mina didn't answer the question directly. Instead, she bit her lip and looked at him with teary eyes, "I'm going back to Seoul tomorrow~" As she spoke, she put down the controller, straightened up, and wrapped her arms around the back of Gong Cheng's neck. "Will you miss me?"

The soft tone and the blush rising at the tips of her ears immediately evoked a strong protective instinct in one's heart.

"Am I that insecure to you?" Gong Cheng gently put the handle down on the carpet and asked, seemingly oblivious to his own ignorance, with a wry smile.

Although he couldn't manage to avoid sleeping with other women while dating one, he would really miss them if they couldn't see each other...

Mina pressed her cheek against his neck, nuzzling him like a kitten, and whispered in a barely audible voice, "Makoto-chan, I don't want to end up like Sana-chan, Nayeon-unnie..."

Even though her involvement in the schemes of "Silly Dog" and "Stupid Rabbit" might have played a part, she became increasingly afraid of ending up like them after she actually got together with Gong Cheng.

When Cheng-chan appeared at their concert yesterday, the members' condition visibly declined in the dressing room. They must have been heartbroken.
"Why are you so sure their fate will be tragic?" Gong Cheng said meaningfully, a koala penguin perched on his back.

Besides, love isn't about who suffers the most! Someone will always get hurt; try looking at it from another perspective…

When the big star, Minato, his beloved student, the little tiger, Daegu's mother, Cho Mi-yeon, and Kim Ji-soo were hurt and heartbroken, didn't he, Hagi Sung, feel heartbroken too?
The women each only suffered once, but the master of the palace suffered eight times the pain!
He also has to bear the stigma of being a scumbag.

How could Gong Cheng, a young man in his early twenties, possibly stand it?
Woohoo...

This world still loves women too much.

"Okay, okay, Mina-chan, we're fine~ really~ believe me~" Miyako changed the subject, soothing Mina's overthinking mind, and then gently pulled her into his arms and gave her a 'smack' kiss.

Meeting her pitiful gaze, I blinked and asked, "Darling, as your boyfriend, can I see you doing ballet?"

Perhaps due to her more than ten years of ballet training, Mina's body is as soft as water, with great flexibility. This was personally tested by Makoto Miyamoto, and doing the splits is a piece of cake for her.

"Hmph, I knew it!" Mina said softly, as if she were used to it.

When they did it last time, Gong Cheng mentioned it briefly, but at the time she just glanced at him quietly, neither agreeing nor refusing.

So, when she came tonight, Mina specially bought a new set of training clothes.

After giving Gong Cheng a charmingly disdainful look, Mina, like a proud little cat, got up from his arms, ran to the backpack next to her, took out a set of training clothes, and then ran to the bedroom to change her clothes.

……

While Mina was changing her clothes, Mr. Miyako, who knew how to enjoy himself, took out a bottle of whiskey, poured himself a glass, and then adjusted the multi-functional light in the suite's living room to a psychedelic blue ambiance, with the blue light and shadow permeating every corner of the living room.

Then the music starts playing~ Then the dancing begins~
This is all foreplay~ In the past, the cannon was too vulgar; today, let's have a more refined cannon~
...When Mina walked out of the bedroom, her smooth black hair was loosely tied up, with a few strands falling to the side of her neck. It was dyed pale purple by the blue light. Her dark green ballet practice clothes shimmered with a delicate luster in the blue light. The cuffs of her mid-length sleeves revealed her slender forearms. The backless design was bold yet form-fitting, outlining the butterfly bones of her shoulder blades. The hem of her short skirt reached just to mid-thigh, swaying gently with her steps, revealing her shapely legs covered in white stockings.

She bit her lip, revealing her pale pink neck, and glared at Gong Cheng with a hint of anger in her eyes, her face flushed red.

This lamp is so malicious!

Mina walked to the center of the living room and stopped in front of the sofa where Makoto was sitting. Instead of sitting down, she maintained her ballet stance and gently nudged Makoto with her toe: "Is this the first time Makoto-chan has seen me dance ballet?"

“Ani ah~” Gong Cheng shook his head, watching her pick up her phone to select a song, his expression reminiscing: “The first time I saw Mina-chan dance ballet was probably at the 16 Gayo Daejeon, right? Back then, didn’t you have a ballet performance stage…”

He spoke softly, as if scenes flashed through his mind. In that year, TWICE officially rose to fame, with hits like "CHEER UP" and "TT" announcing the hot debut of the fourth-generation girl group. At that time, Bombardment Meteor was a dazzling shooting star in the Korean music scene, allowing him to completely emerge from the slump of his debut.

"However, when I joined the company in 16, the first time I saw the quiet Mina-chan, I made up my mind that one day I would have Mina-chan dance for me alone~" Miyako dismissed the memories of the past and confessed with a smile that he had been planning this for a long time.

After playing a ballet piece, Mina raised her delicate eyebrows and eyes, feeling a surge of joy in her heart.

Love at first sight!
Big star: You fucking fell in love with me at first sight too!
Minato: Mitu!

Little Tiger: Me too!

My beloved student: So, me?
Tzuyu: ? ? ?
Dahyun: Loyalty!
Haji Makoto: Don't ask, it's all love at first sight~
...The dance music started~
Mina gently tiptoed in front of Makoto, first lightly touching the ground with her toes, the muscle lines of her calves faintly visible through the curves of her white stockings. Then, she slowly raised her arms, her elbows slightly bent, her fingertips seemingly touching invisible threads that stretched upwards little by little... Her waist twisted gently, the bony curve of her back tracing a beautiful arc in the blue ambient lighting...

Gong Cheng took a sip of wine, his mind wandering. Watching Mina dance in the light and shadow, even his breathing slowed down, and the air seemed to become thick.

With her feet turned outwards, Mina looks more like a dancing penguin—but she's still beautiful…

As she spun, Minami's dark green skirt billowed in a small arc, like dark petals blooming in a blue sea.

Her cool gaze was focused yet gentle. When it fell on Gong Cheng, the corners of her eyes curved into a slight arc, carrying a unique sense of aloofness, yet within this aloofness lay an imperceptible dependence.

When she stopped moving, she remained standing on her tiptoes, her hands clasped in front of her waist, and her head slightly bowed...

When Mina's figure spun to the side of the sofa, she deliberately slowed down and gently brushed her hand across Gong Cheng's cheek. Gong Cheng subconsciously raised his hand, wanting to hold her hand, but she was like a nimble butterfly, lightly tiptoeing and retreating into the depths of the blue light and shadow, leaving only a faint smile spreading in the air.

Gong Cheng's heart felt like it was being pounded by a lion.

He liked Mina's cool gaze, which made his numb heart surge with passion.

For a moment, Gong Cheng drank his beverage, his eyes slightly tipsy as he watched Mina's dancing figure... How delightful!
He finally understood where the tyrannical rulers of ancient times came from.

Hajicheng, on the other hand, compares himself to a "hero," because even heroes can't resist the charms of a beautiful woman...

With so many female relatives, sometimes it's not that he's a jerk, but that they're all genuinely great.

One man against eight women—in a way, he could be considered a "hero"—the Wine Bottle Hero!
...Mina's next movements were even gentler. She bent her knees and squatted down, gently brushing her hands over her ankles, then slowly moving them up her calves and waist. Every movement carried a unique delicacy and a subtle sense of fragmentation that blended with her temperament...

As she stood up, she tilted her head back slightly, revealing a long and graceful neck with wisps of hair clinging to her neck. Her cool eyes reflected Gong Cheng's figure, and the dappled light cast shadows on his handsome face. This face slowly overlapped with the youthful features of Mina when they first met.

He's become more stable and mature. From 2016 to 2018, Mina has witnessed many of Makoto Miyamoto's outrageous antics. Our Makoto is bad, but not to the point of being irredeemably evil...

With her final movement, Mina walked to the sofa, turned her back to Miyako, tiptoed, leaned back slightly, and opened her arms as if to embrace the sky or to fall into Miyako's arms. The blue light shone on her face, and her delicate eyebrows and eyes met Miyako's complex gaze, which was filled with deep affection, weariness, and joy. Her pupils, tinged with blue, reflected her dance moves. For a moment, her heart felt as if it had been gently struck by something, and she softened completely.

Gong Cheng reached out and gently supported her waist, feeling her body tremble slightly and the delicate touch on her waist: "Mina-chan, thank you for being with me." His slightly tipsy eyes and words were soft and sincere, and his breath brushed against the stray hairs on Mina's neck, causing her to tremble slightly.

Mina slowly raised her face, gently leaned against his chest, and breathed a soft sigh: "When I was with Makoto, Makoto was with me too."

After saying that, she turned around and cupped Gong Cheng's face in her hands...

...The blue light enveloped their intertwined figures, and the gentle dance steps that lingered in Gong Cheng's heart quietly came to a halt.

……

On April 1, TWICE returned to Seoul.

After arriving in Minami's hometown, Hyogo in Kansai, and purchasing a Mercedes nearby, Gong Cheng, reflecting on the events of the previous night, secretly made a vow—

We should treat our female relatives well.

Around noon, Gong Cheng was at the seaside villa, packing up his temporary belongings. He replaced everything, including the mattress, with new ones, but they wouldn't arrive until the afternoon, so he had to clean the house first.

Mina's older brother came to help. Mina's home is not far from this property, both located in Nishinomiya City. Like Takarazuka City, Nishinomiya City is an affluent area in Hyogo Prefecture, so Mina's family is quite well-off.

"Xiao Cheng, come to my house for dinner with me." After receiving a call from their mother, Mina's older brother patted Gong Cheng on the shoulder with a smile, then glanced at the new furniture delivered by the furniture company on the ground and said with a smile, "We'll come back this afternoon to tidy up together."

Gong Cheng did not refuse the kindness of the Mina family. He smiled and nodded, then took out the gift he had prepared that morning from the car, ready to visit them.

The ten-minute journey passed quickly. Mina's parents were fully aware of Miyako's relationship with Mina and her temporary stay in Hyogo for treatment. At the dinner table, they would occasionally chuckle and introduce him to famous tourist attractions near Hyogo and even throughout Japan, suggesting that he go and relax.

……

After a day, on his first day of temporary residence in Hyogo, Miyako was surprisingly pleased with the cool sea breeze and pleasant scenery.

Mina's family took good care of him.

……

On April 2nd, Miyako went to Tokyo and visited Eiko Eiryu's hospital.

Psychotherapy...

This treatment was more immersive than the last one, but after leaving the hospital, Gong Cheng didn't notice any changes. He glanced at the time and headed to the airport to return to Seoul.

Besides going back to pack my luggage and clothes, I also need to have a brief chat with my adoptive parents about my temporary stay in Hyogo, so as not to worry them.

He could just use travel as an excuse. As for being sick, it's not like it's cancer or anything. He didn't want his adoptive parents to worry. After working hard for half his life, he should enjoy life!

Moreover, he is facing treatment with a very positive attitude, and everything will get better.

Besides that, Gong Cheng also has some personal matters to attend to. Today is the day the big star officially promotes his music, and he will be appearing on Music Bank as a solo artist.

I loved...

We should definitely go and see it; that's how kind and righteous Master Gong is!

"..."

Two and a half hours later, Gong Cheng landed at Incheon International Airport, went down to the garage, got into his somewhat dusty Land Rover, and headed to his villa in Itaewon to pack his luggage.

He also called over Kim Daewoo and Cha Gun-ho, who had just finished their honeymoon.

When Gong Cheng saw Che Qianhao in the living room, he smiled in surprise and said, "Wow, bro, you've gained weight!"

As far as I can remember, Che Qianhao has always served as both driver and bodyguard.

Before becoming an agent, she had just retired from the special forces on the Korean Peninsula, so her figure was naturally not as round as Kim Dae-woo's.

"Just got married, huh?" Kim Daewoo laughed heartily as he sat on the sofa, looking like he'd been there all along. "You've gained weight, haha."

With a happy smile on his face, Che Qianhao showed Yu Yu directly to Gong Cheng.

When the hell will I ever get married?!

I need to marry all eight women...

"...I plan to stay in the Kansai region of Japan for a while..." Miyako said succinctly to his two key advisors, then added, "So, you two should keep an eye on Maze Entertainment..."

With his temporary hiatus from the music industry, his two managers also came to a standstill.

Park Jin-young didn't ask them to form groups with other artists, knowing full well that once Summer Gong Cheng left JYP, these two would also leave and go to Maze Entertainment.

"Why do you want to stay in Hyogo temporarily?" Kim Dae-woo asked, puzzled and confused.

Gong Cheng replied lazily and casually, "I'm tired and want to relax. If you're interested, you can come find me. The hot springs over there are very famous. We can have a few drinks together~"

"Tsk tsk, mixed-gender bathing is quite famous~" Che Qianhao clicked his tongue and said seriously.

Upon hearing this, Gong Cheng looked at him in shock: "Brother, didn't you just get married?"

Indeed, not all men in this world are as pure in love as he is!

"Aigoo, what are you thinking about? I meant to go with your sister-in-law. It's a pity we didn't go to Japan for our honeymoon. We should experience it sometime." Che Qianhao quickly waved his hand and explained.

……

In the afternoon, after packing his luggage, Gong Cheng drove to the recording location of Music Bank and sat quietly in the audience, waiting for the big star to perform on stage.

……

Meanwhile, on the other side, after hearing the knock on the door, Zhao Meiyan rushed over in her slippers to open it. What she saw was Minatozaki Sana's smiling face and the two large bags of drinks and snacks she was carrying.

"Ah~ I forgot to tell you about Sana-chan~ I prepared a lot of drinks~" Zhao Meiyan welcomed Minatozaki Sana, who was wearing a black hoodie and white casual pants, into her home. She pouted and smiled shyly, and she really felt that she got along very well with this member of TWICE.

Sana Minatozaki peeked around inside her house, then turned her head with a grin and said, "Kenchana~"

"Drink more, so you won't run out!"

She smiled knowingly.

Zhao Meiyan, dressed in a loose white silk nightgown that revealed her fair skin, gestured for Minatozaki Sana to sit wherever she liked, then pouted and said softly, "How could that be? But with so much wine~ it really is like you said before, we won't leave until we're drunk~"

She guessed that Sana Minatozaki in front of her must have some unspeakable troubles and worries she needed to confide in, so she patted her chest and laughed heartily, "Don't worry, Sana, I'll definitely listen to your troubles today~ It's okay if you sleep here~"

Sana Minatozaki nodded, her eyes darkening slightly.

...We'll all be unhappy.

Then, she lifted the Shiba Inu's face, her bright eyes sparkling with curiosity, and asked, "Where's Jisoo?"

Sana Minatozaki had heard from Miyeon Cho beforehand that Jisoo Kim would also be coming.

That would be even better, let's grieve together...

……

"Yawn~"

As soon as Kim Jisoo stepped out of her house, she couldn't help but cover her mouth with her hand and yawn. She wrinkled her nose, pulled the brim of her white hoodie over her head, and muttered suspiciously, "Is that bastard secretly thinking about me?"

It's not that if someone isn't catching a cold or is sneezing for no reason, it means someone is missing Mo...

Hehe ~
And so, Kim Jisoo's delicate eyebrows and eyes began to lift slightly. A beautiful day begins with the puppy missing her~
Standing by the roadside in the residential area.

Kim Jisoo hailed a taxi and told the driver the location near Jo Miyeon's house.

As a clever woman, Zhixiu was afraid of being recognized by the driver, so she locked onto Zhao Meiyan's address. Therefore, the address she gave was near the Pabu residential area. After getting off the car, she could just take a detour to get there.

After all, we were followed just a few days ago, so we really need to be more vigilant.

Just thinking about how angry that bastard looked when he stood up for her and beat up that stalker made Kim Jisoo's heart melt. He really does care about me~
