The number one playboy on the Peninsula!

Chapter 389 Daily life
------

Bathed in moonlight, her small face, exhausted, turned her eyes slightly to the side. She blinked her eyes, which were full of spring-like joy, and carefully looked at Gong Cheng, who was already asleep beside her.

Kim Ji-soo raised her fair fingers and touched Gong Cheng's handsome, increasingly mature features, then traced the shape of his lips with her fingertips... She was so excited that she couldn't sleep, partly because of the pain she was experiencing, and partly because of the mixed feelings she had inside.

My beloved white moonlight, saranghae ya~
But while silently confessing her feelings, Kim Ji-soo felt that the bastard she shared a bed with had no conscience at all.

After having his fun, he just went straight to sleep. In movies, shouldn't a scumbag patiently comfort a girl after tricking her into bed? That way, the girl would feel that she didn't make a mistake in choosing him, and then she would be completely obedient to him, letting him do whatever he wanted.

…After brooding for a while, Kim Jisoo rubbed her fingers together and then gently touched Gong Cheng's earlobe, as if she were a little angry.

But in the shifting moonlight, she suddenly saw Gong Cheng's brows furrowed in his sleep, twisted into a knot. She raised her hand to try to smooth his brows, but to no avail.

Kim Ji-soo frowned and thought about it carefully. In fact, she had always felt that her boyfriend's mood had been a bit off this year, especially in the second half of his documentary. What had happened?
She pondered this in secret, but couldn't figure it out.

After her mind went blank for a while, a sharp pain shot through her crossed legs, and Kim Jisoo shivered. She glared at the sleeping Gong Cheng with annoyance... She sat up and quietly took out her handbag, from which she found a small pair of scissors for trimming bangs.

I clicked and snapped a couple of times at the air.

Immediately afterwards, Kim Jisoo slowly moved to the middle of the mattress. She took advantage of the moonlight to look at a stain on the sheet... She was a little incredulous. After practicing dance for so many years, how could there still be such a stain?

You should cherish it carefully; that's how it's portrayed in novels and movies.

The sound of scissors snaking echoed in the master bedroom. During this time, Kim Ji-soo, clumsy as ever, accidentally let the cold metal shears touch Gong Cheng's thigh...

Gong Cheng woke up with a start, opened his heavy eyelids, and looked at Kim Ji-soo sitting on his lap, her hair disheveled and bathed in moonlight: "Ah!"

"Kim Jisoo, what are you doing?" He looked like he'd seen a ghost and clutched his chest.

"Snip, snip," Kim Jisoo clenched the scissors in her hand twice, then turned to look at Gong Cheng, smiling gently, "You're awake..."

Before she could finish speaking, Gong Cheng was so startled when he saw the gleaming silver scissors in her hand that he immediately threw back the covers and glanced at Kim Ji-soo's little old man...

"Phew..." After confirming that there was no shortchanging.

Gong Cheng took a deep breath, suppressing the panic in his heart. Covered in cold sweat, he lay back down. He raised his hand and stroked Kim Ji-soo's smooth back, saying softly, "Mi-nae, I'm so tired. I should keep you company."

"Why are you so scared?" Seeing his actions, Kim Jisoo felt a surge of anger. She stuffed the cut bed sheet and scissors into her bag and snuggled into his sweaty arms. "Would I hurt you?"

Gong Cheng buried his head in her milky-scented body, took a deep breath, and joked, "How could I not be afraid of a girl who said she would drown me in the Han River four years ago?"

"Did you have a nightmare?" Kim Jisoo blinked, touched the back of his head, and, like coaxing a child, avoided his answer and showed concern.

"Hmm... I dreamt that you sank me into the Han River..." Gong Cheng was talking nonsense. In reality, he didn't have any dreams, but he just couldn't sleep well and his sleep quality was very poor. But now he wasn't sleepy at all and just wanted to hug Kim Jisoo.

Kim Jisoo pouted, her smug look turning his face, which was still munching on snacks, towards her: "So afraid of me?"

"afraid!"

"Are you trying to die? Dating so many women?" Kim Ji-soo originally wanted to be a lady, but she couldn't calm down whenever she faced this rascal. Since they were dating, she still hoped that he would have some sense of chastity.

She tried to put on a fierce expression: "If you betray me—I really will drown you in the Han River, you know?"

"I don't want to die..." Gong Cheng gazed at her fierce yet childish face with deep affection.

Laughing...

And he betrayed you and sank into the Han River? Our Joo-hyun, the big star, Mi-yeon... how come they're living such comfortable lives?
But Gong Cheng dared not reveal this in the slightest. Instead, he said earnestly, "If I die, no one will love you anymore, Noona~"

"Do you love me?" Kim Jisoo asked a question that most girls would ask before sleeping with you, but this was a step she had just remembered, especially when she saw Gong Cheng's gentle eyes, she longed for the answer even more.

Gong Cheng nodded awkwardly. He was a very reserved and serious person, so when he was nervous, he liked to say things that would make people angry: "If I didn't love you, I would have called the police as soon as you forced yourself on me."

When Kim Jisoo saw him nod, the corners of her mouth that had just curled up instantly froze: "Moragu?"

She trembled with rage, pointed at herself, and asked incredulously, "Me, stronger than you?"

"Strong?"

"Hmm~" Gong Cheng responded with a sullen, teasing sound.

But seeing Jisoo's changed expression, Little Pearl almost burst into tears. He quickly looked up and shouted, "Daughter!"

Kim Jisoo turned her head away, sulking and ignoring him: "Gong Cheng...you, you have no conscience..."

"Baby?" Gong Cheng leaned over and his bright smiling face suddenly appeared in her line of sight, using a different term of address.

Hearing this cheesy nickname, Kim Jisoo's face flushed slightly and she trembled, but she still stubbornly ignored him. Instead, she pulled the blanket over her face and lay down on the bed, blocking Gong Cheng's smiling gaze: "Move aside... baby wants to sleep..."

"Alas, alas~" Gong Cheng nodded and lay down as well, but turned his body to the side, with his back to Kim Ji-soo.

Kim Jisoo secretly pulled down the covers, glanced at his turning to the side, and couldn't help but lift her foot from under the covers and kick him, complaining, "Hey! How can I sleep if you don't hold me? How can I feel safe in such a big house..."

After saying that, she curled up and wrapped her arms around his lower back like an octopus.

……

The next day, Gong Cheng was awakened by a piercing phone ring. He found his phone on the bed, glanced at Jin Zhixiu who was turning over slightly from the noise, and pulled her thigh off his body. He then answered the phone and went to the study.

It's Eiko Eri calling...

"..."

The main content involved asking about his condition and scheduling his next treatment.

When Gong Cheng returned to the bedroom, Kim Ji-soo was already rubbing her eyes, wearing the oversized white shirt she had worn the night before, and kneeling on the edge of the bed, staring at him scrutinizingly: "Were you on the phone with a girl?"

Gong Cheng walked to the bedside with his usual faint smile on his face. He reached out to touch her hair, but Kim Ji-soo subconsciously turned her head away.

His hand froze in mid-air, then he naturally withdrew it and sat down on the edge of the bed: "An auntie~"

"Which auntie?" Kim Jisoo pressed, leaning forward slightly, her scrutinizing gaze intensifying.

It wasn't that she was making a fuss; the main problem was that her "white moonlight" was a repeat offender who went out to make a phone call early in the morning, dressed up and carrying a bottle of red wine.

Moreover, he is currently dating Zhao Meiyan, Mina, and Son Chaeyoung.

Gong Cheng knew that in Xiu Xiu's mind, he was considered to be "outstanding" and "professional," so he patiently dug out Hui Zi Yong Li's contact information.

When Kim Ji-soo saw on social media that Eiko Young-ri was nearly fifty years old, her tense heart relaxed.

This little rascal, his tastes aren't that extreme...

But just as her eyes softened into a smile, Kim Jisoo glanced down at her thigh, where a large hand had pinched her, leaving a red mark. She resigned herself to her fate without uttering a sound, only letting out a muffled groan. She then raised her head, determined to have a proper chat with Gong Cheng: "Are you still dating Zhao Meiyan, Mina, and Son Chaeyoung?"

“Hey, and you too, Xiu~” Gong Cheng lay on his side on the bed, his head resting on her fair thigh, his heart fluttering: “Noona, it’s been four years, you know me. Don’t say that nonsense about only choosing one person anymore, I’m tired of hearing it.”

He preemptively shut down Jisoo's words, saying, "I'm not pretending anymore~ I'm coming clean~"
But to his surprise, Kim Jisoo nodded, looking at him with a complicated expression, and then changed her tone: "Arasso, you can't change your nature..."

"How can you talk about your own father like that?" Gong Cheng pinched her hard, clearly annoyed.

If you upset me again, I'll bite you!
Torture was inflicted.

Faced with the shameless Gong Cheng, Kim Ji-soo was completely at a loss. She had no choice but to back down in her heart and whisper, "...Then could you please stop looking for other girls?"

"Like Sana Minatozaki and Nayeon Lim, now that you've broken up with them, don't bother them anymore, okay?" As she spoke, she couldn't help but nervously pinch the hand on Makoto's shoulder.

She thought, since she couldn't let this bastard stay with her alone, she couldn't let him cheat on her with eight other women!

Now, of the three female relatives, not counting Zhao Meiyan—she doesn't deserve it!

She was already at her wit's end... but that doesn't mean Kim Jisoo has to tolerate sharing a shrine with Mina and Son Chaeyoung. Our white moonlight isn't a shared bicycle... Since Lim Nayeon and Minatozaki Sana have broken up, he, Mina, and Son Chaeyoung might also break up.

Kim Jisoo is very experienced in the art of patience and restraint.

"Not going to bother your ex-girlfriend?" Gong Cheng pondered the meaning behind Kim Jisoo's words; it wasn't too outrageous...

He definitely won't be bothering with it anytime soon; he's too busy to deal with it.

Wait a minute... Jisoo didn't seem to say that she can't have a new girlfriend?

"Okay!"

Gong Cheng readily agreed.

"Really?"

Kim Jisoo was overjoyed, surprised that this little rascal was so easy to talk to.

"of course it's true."

“But…” Gong Cheng’s tone shifted, and he slowly lifted his face from Jin Zhixiu’s lap, sitting down opposite her with a serious expression and an unhappy look on his face: “But I just answered a phone call, and you distrust me so much, what do you mean by that?”

"I feel really uncomfortable inside. There needs to be trust between couples..."

Upon hearing this, Kim Jisoo's bare face trembled slightly.

Gong Cheng—put your hand on my conscience and tell me, no, with a "slap," Kim Jisoo shook off his hand, her tone disdainful: "How can I trust you?"

“Ani…you know, other girls have a rosy view of their boyfriends, right?” Gong Cheng looked at her unhappily. Was he really a henpecked husband? “But why is it that when it comes to you, you’re the one who’s prejudiced against your boyfriend?”

"That's blatant prejudice..."

He snorted, not to be outdone, and then added, "If you don't trust me, how can we get married? Do you want to go through a marriage without trust...?"

As he spoke, Gong Cheng started rambling on. He knew very well what Jisoo wanted to hear.

She liked being promised things... "I don't want to marry you~" Kim Jisoo blushed bright red at the abrupt change of topic. She quickly glanced at Gong Cheng, then lowered her eyes again, grumbling, "Dream on~"

"..." Gong Cheng looked at her with a smile, but didn't say anything.

Before long, Kim Jisoo couldn't stand his gaze any longer, so she raised her head and punched him: "Okay, okay, I apologize, okay? I shouldn't have thought about you like that just now... mainly, you're not very reliable."

As she finished speaking, she wrinkled her small nose.

Gong Cheng subconsciously ignored her last sentence and stood up unhappily: "If apologies were enough, what would be the point of having a butt?"

After saying that, Master Gong pointed confidently to the foot of the bed, his eyes scanning Kim Jisoo's unbuttoned white shirt, her fair skin and curvaceous figure: "Bend up!"

"Whoa, whoa..."

……

"Hugging the sofa~ Still sleepy~ Messy hair~"

"Yet I yearn to be as carefree as a movie protagonist~~~~"

On April 7th... Gong Cheng stood in the recording studio in Jiangnan, recording a song for his new album. It was a Chinese song. Thinking about it, since the "Sunrise Concert" in China last year, he had been focusing on winning the Grammys this year for his subsequent albums.

He has not yet produced any Mandarin songs, but recently... he wrote this song, which is currently being recorded, and it is related to his illness: "I Really Want to Love This World".

I had originally planned to go for treatment with Eiko Eri today, but I had to cancel it.

...Hagi Sung is a very sentimental person. He just started dating Kim Jisoo two days ago. Did he go to Japan right after they had sex? No, it wasn't him... Plus, they just got together. Our Jisoo is fierce yet clingy, and he lacks a sense of security.

So for the past two days, Gong Cheng has been either recording songs or spending time with Kim Ji-soo, Mina, and Son Chae-young.

"Under the eaves, crows lined up, densely packed."

"I don't know how to express my suppressed emotions."

With a melancholy face, Gong Cheng stood in front of the microphone, softly recording the melody in his heart.

Although he hasn't gone for treatment recently, it seems he has found a treatment method that is unique to him, but he hasn't dared to tell anyone.

Just like the headache I had that night, it eased up a lot after I met Kim Jisoo.

Recently, whenever Gong Cheng experiences headaches or chest tightness, he goes to see Mina, Son Chaeyoung, Bae Joo-hyun, Han So-hee, Lee Sung-kyung, Im Yoon-ah, Cho Mi-yeon, and Kim Ji-soo...

I don't know if it's psychological or something else.
It's not the kind of medicine that cures all ills, but it makes you feel better and relieves a lot of stress.

This unique method is more commonly used than the medicine prescribed by doctors, and it can be said that... it is somewhat expensive.

Handsome men who hook up with eight people suffer...

"I thought about leaving~ when the sunshine succumbed to the gloom~"

"I never imagined you would risk your life to clear the way for me~~~~~" Gong Cheng sang, his face filled with sorrow.
The image of Mina's broken eyes and gentle face flashed through my mind.

After all the members of TWICE were exposed for their scandals, Makoto Miyamoto realized that the idea of ​​dedicating one song to eight female friends was no longer feasible. So, when creating this song, he specifically sent the two lines of lyrics he was currently writing to Mina: "These lyrics are for you, Mina-chan~"

He decided to be honest...

"I don't want to leave~ when your smile blooms~"

"The world has suddenly been filled with color."

My dear Xiuxiu, this is written for you.

"..."

After finishing recording a song, Gong Cheng returned to the composition room and organized the songs he had recently written: "I Really Want to Love This World", "Love Is Gone", "Someone You Loved", "Street Lights", and "HEARTBREAK ANNIVERSARY".

Why is everyone so emo?
Leaning back in his chair, he estimated his progress. If he wrote a few more songs slowly, he could release them in June when his contract with JYP ended.

But Gong Cheng hadn't thought carefully about when he would return to competition...

……

After falling ill, Gong Cheng suddenly developed a habit of writing a diary, recording his daily feelings.

"July 8th, sunny."

"I really like Mina... but I'm suffering inside."

"July 9st, cloudy."

"I secretly went to pick up Jisoo from get off work, afraid that Mina-chan would find out. It was another day when I really liked Jisoo, but my heart was also filled with guilt for letting Mina-chan down..."

April 10th... Gong Cheng was sitting in a coffee shop, writing in his diary in front of Kim Da-hyun, though the words had been edited and polished.

It is inevitable that the pain, struggle, and contradictions of the illness in one's heart will be brought to the forefront.

"..." Kim Dahyun sat silently next to Gong Cheng, leaned in and glanced at the diary entries: "When did oppa develop the habit of writing a diary?"

“Recently…” Gong Cheng continued writing lazily.

Kim Dahyun frowned as she glanced at his written notes, then read them aloud in the private room: "I couldn't sleep until 5 a.m. last night, thinking about Sana-chan, Nayeon, Momo-chan, Joohyun, who have all left me..."

The more she read, the more cheesy it became. When she looked at the handsome man again, she said with a worried expression, "Oppa, didn't Mina take you for treatment? It seems like your condition is getting worse!"

Tofu was extremely anxious!
"Take it easy!" Gong Cheng waved his hand and closed the pen cap.

"Besides, aren't you afraid that your sisters-in-law will see what you've written?" Kim Da-hyun didn't care about anything else; she was so afraid that if the diary were to be circulated in front of her sisters-in-law, she would be so angry that she would chop up the handsome man next to her.

Gong Cheng ruffled Da Xian's hair with a melancholy expression: "A diary is for others to read, right? Of course, I also record my feelings!"

"You'll die..." Kim Da-hyun said, puzzled.

"No." Gong Cheng glanced at the young Da Xian and explained logically, "After you start dating or living together after marriage, once you develop the habit of keeping a diary, only recording your sweet daily life with your boyfriend, recording all your love and sacrifices for him, how hard you work every day, what gifts you want, and deliberately hiding the diary in an easy-to-find place, then your good days will begin~"

Tofu pondered for a moment, still not understanding: "But what does this have to do with you writing that you like this sister-in-law but can't forget that other sister-in-law? This isn't sweetness, you're asking for a beating..."

She spoke frankly and remonstrated with him even unto death.

"Don't they hit me a lot?" Gong Cheng sighed, glanced at the clueless Duo Xian, and added, "Haven't you noticed that some of your sisters-in-law are already speechless with me?"

Kim Da-hyun's face twitched: "How dare you say that?"

"It's not that I'm speechless, it's just that I really can't change..." Gong Cheng scratched his head, looking a little embarrassed, but it also showed that his wives' standards were getting lower: "Anyway, when your wives see this diary, I can't say that my good days will come, but they will eventually understand my true feelings..."

Kim Da-hyun snapped out of her daze and widened her eyes: "You want your sisters-in-law to feel sorry for you?"

"No, I just want them to know that I like each and every one of them equally." Gong Cheng shook his head and said, this diary is also a plan for the future, an open strategy.

"Shouldn't they feel sorry for you?" Kim Dahyun unexpectedly erupted in small anger: "They should feel sorry for you, oppa!!!"

This startled Gong Cheng: "You really think so?"

"Of course!" Kim Da-hyun nodded vigorously, partly because she saw that her handsome boyfriend, whom she hadn't seen for a long time, was in really bad shape, and partly because she was secretly thinking to herself.

You old bastard—you're about to die, and you've finally handed over the Burning Technique.

Why didn't we use these methods sooner?

Gong Cheng put down his orange juice and raised his hand to give Kim Da-hyun a high five: "Blue Dragon Film Queen—Major General Kim!"

Seeing Gong Cheng's genuine smile, Kim Da-hyun first gave a standard salute, then extended her small hand and gave Gong Cheng a high five: "Did I get promoted again?"

"Of course~" Gong Cheng said with admiration in his eyes, and patted her head.

Tofu grinned, her expression somewhat exaggerated and comical, but she just wanted to cheer up Da Da Shuai and not see him looking so downcast: "I also want the Baeksang Arts Awards Best Actress..."

Her words carried a hint of probing as she raised her single eyelid and stole a glance at Gong Cheng.

"Best Actress at the Baeksang Arts Awards?" Gong Cheng raised his orange juice and looked at the tofu seriously.

Little Strange Tofu nodded hastily: "Is it difficult to handle?"

"No...you're still young and talented." Gong Cheng took a sip of orange juice and said with a smile, "Blue Dragon Film Award, Baeksang Arts Awards, aren't enough. A Grand Slam, please! A Grand Slam means you'll never have to worry about anything again!"

Kim Da-hyun clutched her chest, her mouth agape: "Can I do this?"

"Loan first, loan first..." Gong Cheng smiled encouragingly.

At the very least, we're determined to win the Blue Dragon Film Award for Best Actress for Dahyun, but her potential in film and television seems far superior to Yoona's.
"..." Kim Da-hyun was so happy she was almost excited. In her excitement, she pulled out her trump card to make her handsome boyfriend happy: "Oppa, I'll show you how to lick your nose with your tongue~"

Her face is very soft.

……

On April 11, Miyako returned to Tokyo and received treatment at Eiko Eiryu's hospital. He also visited his residence in Hyogo to see Mina's parents and family. He stayed in Hyogo for a short period until the 15th.

On the 16th, after receiving a call from Park Jin-young, he landed in Seoul.

After driving to JYP, which he hadn't visited in a long time, Gong Cheng, dressed in a charcoal gray knitted cardigan and dark khaki slim-fit casual trousers, took the elevator with an upright posture and headed to the conference room on the ninth floor.

……

(Busy today, that's all for now. Also, I'll take this opportunity to think about the plot.)
