The number one playboy on the Peninsula!

Chapter 390: Tutoring Yuna and Yeji, Tzuyu's Summary
Park Jin-young will hold a shareholders' meeting at the company today, and the specific content of the meeting will be to adjust the framework of some departments within the company.

The reason is that in the information age, many citizens, fans, and casual observers constantly criticize the planning, marketing, and public relations capabilities of certain departments within the company. In short—

That's awful, a pile of shit.

The corridor on the ninth floor was bustling with people as shareholders entered the meeting room. Park Jin-young glanced at his watch; having learned that his junior colleague would be attending today's shareholders' meeting, he knew he wouldn't be late.

After a brief moment of thought, he glanced at the TWICE members in the small conference room next door. With Nayeon's solo comeback coming to an end, the overwhelming success of their music charts and sales once again proved TWICE's continued dominance at their peak.

However, the transformation of the group is imminent, and TWICE is currently discussing comeback plans for their seventh mini-album "FANCY YOU" with the staff of the third headquarters.

After TWICE became popular, the members gradually became more involved in the planning of comebacks, offering their own ideas, but they didn't have much say in the decisions. "FANCY YOU" is an album with a retro feel.

The title track, "FANCY," is a pop dance track that is distinctly different from their previous works, marking the beginning of a transformation...

“…Sigh.” Park Jin-young sighed deeply, turning his gaze away from the children’s faces in the next meeting room.

He hadn't seen Gong Cheng for a while after that beastly junior brother ruined TWICE's lives.

Hagiwara, I can't figure it out.

Why can my junior brother be so ruthless and heartless?
For over a month, he hasn't come back to the company to see Gomo... and our precious child [ATM], how could it have ended so abruptly?

Why don't you ask me one more time...?

……

“Aninghasaiyo…”

As he boarded the elevator to the ninth floor, Gong Cheng greeted the other employees with a faint smile... Once the elevator doors opened, he walked down the corridor to the conference room with one hand in his pocket.

Standing out from the crowd, he immediately spotted Park Jin-young and a group of shareholders chatting in the conference room on his left. He glanced down at his watch; the timing was perfect, not late at all.

"Creak" sound.

Gong Cheng glanced back at a smaller conference room in the other corridor. The figures filing out were all very familiar. The head of the third headquarters looked at him with surprise, then quickly realized and greeted him, "Here for the shareholders' meeting, Tarot?"

After everyone in the company learned that the boy in front of them would leave JYP this summer, he would enter the company's senior management and become one of the shareholder representatives. Similarly, TWICE's Kim Dahyun became his acting director.

His influence grew rapidly, and Director Jin became extremely powerful.

"Hmm." Gong Cheng nodded casually, but his gaze bypassed the slightly restrained smiles of the staff in the third headquarters and landed directly on the faces of the members he hadn't seen in a long time: "..."

As Lim Nayeon stepped out of the conference room, her pupils contracted slightly when she met his gaze. However, she quickly recovered and forced a polite smile, revealing her rabbit teeth. She didn't dare to approach him directly, but instead quietly raised her small hand that was resting on her trouser seam... Her eyes then lowered in a complicated, nervous, and awkward manner.

"Why don't you leave?"

Yu Dingyan gently nudged her back, chatting and laughing as they spoke.

But when she looked up and saw Gong Cheng's face with a faint smile, she frowned slightly, crossed her arms, and wanted to curse her good brother for being such a bastard, but she couldn't utter a word.

To be fair, my good friend Haji Cheng has been very good to me. Although he has a sharp tongue and can't control himself, he has helped me a lot, both personally and in terms of our friendship and our careers.

Moreover, these days, Yu Dingyan has cursed him in her heart quite a bit, calling him a "garlic bird" (a derogatory term for someone who is indecent and unreliable).

What a tragic fate...

"Long time no see..." Beneath Gong Cheng's calm smile, he was still a little embarrassed. After all, out of nine people, five of them were still entangled with him. How could he not feel awkward? He was easily embarrassed.

But then I thought again, damn it, nine people, five of whom slept together, loved each other, had sex, were happy together, suffered together, and it's so embarrassing to have any trivial matters.

The TWICE members at the entrance were clearly not expecting to run into Gong Cheng here. The relaxed and joking atmosphere instantly faded, and the group subconsciously stopped what they were doing, their expressions revealing a complex mix of emotions.

"Makoto-chan~"

When Mina, who was walking with Tzuyu, saw Makoto Miyamoto, she smiled and stood behind Sana Minatozaki and Momo Hirai. As if asserting her dominance, she raised her fair arm and waved, her soft voice sweet.

When Kim Da-hyun saw that the other women's originally complicated expressions had turned ugly after hearing her shout, she quickly and silently tugged at Mina's wrist.

Not enough beatings?

Why are you being so masochistic...?

The corridor fell silent for a few seconds, then Chou Tzu-yu's short face broke the silence with a joyful expression: "Brother~"

"Aren't you going to say hello?"

Gong Cheng glanced down at Lin Nalian, Minatozaki Sana, and Hirai Momo, who were hesitating in place, and suddenly asked a question.

But as soon as he finished speaking, in the large conference room behind him, Park Jin-young seemed to sense something, quickly pushed open the door, looked at the nine members of TWICE, and stomped his foot: "What are you all standing there for? Go back to the practice room..."

Just as Hirai Momo was about to speak, she heard PDnim's tone as if he were guarding against a thief, so she had no choice but to swallow her words.

"Inside……"

Led by their manager, who seemed puzzled, the nine people walked together toward the elevator.

Gong Cheng glanced at Park Jin-young: "Long time no see, senior brother."

"Let's have a meeting first, you're the only one missing." Park Jin-young sighed and glanced at the shareholders behind him.

Gong Cheng nodded, stepped into the conference room, and sat down according to the nameplate. "..."

The meeting soon began, and Park Jin-young gave a lengthy presentation to the shareholders about the company's current situation and future strategic plans, "..."

It's so long-winded.

Gong Chengshen sat with his legs crossed, listening to the disagreements and arguments among the shareholders. He acknowledged that the problems Park Jin-young mentioned in the various departments did exist, but they were none of his business. However, he thought that if reforms were implemented and a new group of professionals were brought in, it would be a good thing for TWICE and ITZY.

"..."

So during the vote by raising hands, Gong Cheng cast his vote in favor. In the past two years, he had always seen this senior brother. Damn, he runs a company, but he just goes to perform on stage and doesn't do his job properly. It's rare to see him so dedicated to the company, so he decided to give his approval.

……

The nine members of TWICE returned to the practice room upstairs and sat down with varying expressions.

After the manager left... Kim Da-hyun ran to the doghouse set up in the corner, pulled "May" out of it, affectionately patted the dog's head, and glanced around at the members' gazes and the low-pressure atmosphere.

She sighed softly, thinking of Da Da Shuai's diary, and then glanced at Mina's sister-in-law, who was chatting sweetly on her phone. After some consideration, Tofu spoke quietly: "Unnies, I feel like oppa hasn't been doing well lately?"

Major General Jin had barely finished speaking.

Mina's gaze instantly fell upon her, and she felt a pang of betrayal as her lips trembled. Didn't we agree to keep it a secret?

"..." Kim Da-hyun gave her a reassuring look, knowing that she had promised her sister-in-law that she wouldn't reveal the fact that the Marshal was seriously ill.

But now she's realizing that Mina's sister-in-law is getting too powerful.

She's the kind of person who doesn't let her advantage go unchallenged, constantly attacking the other "sisters-in-law." Won't she get her comeuppance when *Parasite* hits theaters at the end of next month? She's already started researching her post-release rivals...

Moreover, given the presence of the Great Marshal's diary, Kim Da-hyun felt that some foreshadowing was necessary. At least for now, she wanted to leave the other wives guessing, otherwise, revealing the news directly would be too abrupt.

Yu Dingyan pursed her lips and smoothed her hair: "Him? It would be strange if he were in a good state in his relationship right now. He has no heart..."

She heard from both Nayeon and Sana that the two had officially broken up with their good friend, Makoto Hagiwara. In this situation, it would be too hurtful if he could still be cheerful.

"My brother seems to have lost some weight..."

Chou Tzu-yu tilted her head thoughtfully, recalling that her good brother, whom she hadn't seen in a long time, seemed to have indeed lost some weight.

Sana Minatozaki nodded: "Indeed."

"I think it's due to excessive indulgence..." Although Hirai Momo felt uneasy thinking about how her relationship with her beloved teacher had developed to this point, she knew her teacher's character perfectly well.

He was neither a good person nor a good mourner.

Son Chae-young glanced at her with a twitching smile, but secretly she was pleased.

Since Momo unnie understands her boyfriend so well, does that mean she's completely heartbroken?
Just as he was secretly gloating, the little tiger suddenly heard Lim Nayeon's voice, her cheerful tone tinged with sarcasm: "Looking around, it seems that our Chaeyoung's position is still the most secure, unlike some people who are so anxious and fearful every day."

Mina, who had been silently chatting with Makoto, suddenly looked uneasy upon hearing this.

Son Chaeyoung glanced at Lim Nayeon, the former leader of the "Gangdong Women," with surprise. But after thinking about it for a moment, she realized that Nayeon wasn't supporting her, but rather using her to tarnish Ino's reputation. She grinned and nodded with her canine teeth showing.

This unnie is dancing too wildly, she seems to want to possess her boyfriend.

"..." Mina was already used to being the target of everyone's attacks. She gently put down her phone and spoke in a soft but sharp voice, "It's better to be anxious than to come back empty-handed. Don't worry about it, hehe~"

"First……"

Before she could finish speaking, Son Chaeyoung knew what she was going to say next—nothing more than the usual "the last one standing wins" cliché. She and the other members were already tired of hearing it, so she simply interrupted and retorted, "Arriving early definitely has an advantage over arriving late..."

Then, the little tiger began to recount the little moments from the time when she and Gong Cheng were still unknown.

Hirai Momo felt incredibly jealous after hearing that.

Chou Tzu-yu pursed her lips, her dark eyes sparkling as she listened to her friend's analysis. She felt that both Mina unnie and Chaeyoung made a lot of sense.

The last one standing is the winner, and the order of appearance is also important.

For someone as sentimental as her brother, the bond forged in hardship is far more precious than the bond for shared prosperity. So, Zhou Ziyu furrowed her thick, dark eyebrows, racking her brains as she took out her notebook and jotted down her lessons learned:
"She stayed by her brother's side during his low point, that's what Chaeyoung did..." But as she wrote, she realized something was wrong.

Gan ah!

When my brother was going through a low point in his career, wasn't I there for him?

Chou Tzu-yu bit her lip thoughtfully, and some important fragments of memory flashed through her mind—slowly piecing them together.

The "Medical Integrity Alliance," established last year, is now in disarray.

She didn't know the extent of her brother's illness, but once someone gets sick, isn't that a ready-made low point? For a moment, Zhou Ziyu blushed and unkindly hoped that her brother's condition would worsen.

Then I would be like an angel and accompany him.

Otherwise, wouldn't she have wasted her time reading those obscure psychology books?
With that thought in mind, Chou Tzu-yu wrinkled her nose and continued taking notes seriously: "The chances of winning are higher when you strike when your brother is at his lowest point than when he's at his peak. Your brother has a lecherous personality, he likes..."

Kim Da-hyun ignored his sisters-in-law's verbal sparring; he was used to it.

Curious, she hugged May and glanced at Zhou Ziyu, who was frowning and looking like an old scholar holding a notebook... The contents under the delicate handwriting were a research report on "Gong Cheng," mixed with some notes and questions she had raised herself:

Zodiac sign: Aries.

"Hobby: Cheating."

Personality: Lustful.

"Woman: Quantity unknown."

"I like younger girls, but I don't mind older girls who are a few years older than me. I have a taste for idols, and it seems like I have some kind of special fondness for them."

"I often sneak peeks at the members' figures with Mina unnie, and as a result, I like those with better figures—? But what's up with Aquarius and Mina unnie, these two bean sprouts?"

"Do you prefer to be passive at the beginning and end of a relationship, making it easier for him to be irresponsible? (Important) I need to take the initiative!"

Wow, that's pretty comprehensive! He's totally the epitome of handsome! After glancing at it twice, Kim Dahyun gave Chou Tzuyu an approving look, then continued reading. The maknae had just summarized her experience:
"While my brother is sick, I'll win him over. That way, I'll have the leverage to talk to Chaeyoung on equal footing. My brother is a lecher, and he's very susceptible to this kind of thing..."

Kim Da-hyun felt increasingly uneasy as she looked around. Her gaze became suspicious, and she glanced sideways at her "sisters-in-law".

broken!

Tzuyu has learned some real skills!
"..." Zhou Ziyu diligently took notes, completely ignoring the members' argument. She considered the members' experiences and applied the essence she had learned from "Empresses in the Palace":

"After winning over your brother, never be arrogant or proud—Mina unnie is a good example; her fate won't be good."

"On the contrary, you have to be secretive and patient. Even if your brother continues to cheat, you have to pretend not to see it, but you also have to let him know that you know everything. But don't say anything, and express your grievances appropriately—when a man feels indebted, he will make up for it."

"Finally—the Empress, ruling the world!!!"

6... Kim Da-hyun was a little confused.

She felt that Tzuyu's analysis of Da Da Shuai's personality traits was very accurate.

Da Da Shuai is indeed a soft-hearted and loyal person, but how can he make amends?
Empress of the nation?

Kim Dahyun still thinks the maknae (youngest member) is a bit naive; that old guy is really cunning.

You can tell just by looking at that diary. Who keeps a diary if they're a decent person?
However, Little Tofu has figured it out. Thinking of this, Kim Da-hyun looked at Nayeon and Sana with sympathy, who were smugly using their words to provoke Nayeon and Sana into blushing and making Sana blush.

Success vs. Failure

Regardless of how the Great Marshal would choose, Kim Da-hyun gave Chou Tzu-yu a lecherous look. If she were the Great Marshal, she would definitely choose the one who didn't succeed!

……

In the conference room on the ninth floor, after a meeting that lasted an hour and a half with Park Jin-young and the major shareholders, many strategic plans for the company's coming year were finalized.

Gong Cheng stretched, chatted with the shareholders for a few minutes with a smile, and then walked out of the conference room and followed Park Jin-young to the president's office.

"how are things?"

Park Jin-young sat on the sofa, looking at his long-lost junior brother. As for Maze Entertainment, ever since Gong Cheng disappeared from the public eye, it had been Park Jin-young and Bae Suzy who would go to the company to supervise the renovation progress.

He hadn't expected Suzy to switch to Gong Cheng's agency at first; it really was fate.

Last month, at the end of the month, Bae Suzy's contract with JYP ended completely, and she joined Maze Entertainment. Not only Maze Entertainment, but also Somi and Han So-hee.

When I first met these people, I didn't know Han So-hee very well, but I knew that she was the girl whose identity was exposed by countless netizens on the Han River Bridge. The other two were old acquaintances of their JYP.

"I heard you've been in Tokyo for the past month?"

Gong Cheng nodded and waved his hand, refusing the Heineken beer offered to him: "Yeah, running back and forth."

Park Jin-young was much calmer than he had expected. He glanced at Gong Cheng, his straightforward tone concealing a hint of concern: "Nothing went wrong, right?"

To be honest, he was very worried about Gong Cheng's physical and mental condition.

Given that he's been elusive for over a month, Hagiwara suspects he might be secretly receiving treatment at a hospital.

"It's not a big problem..."

Gong Cheng didn't really want to talk about his treatment; it wasn't a good thing, so there was nothing to say.

After a few words of conversation.

There was a brief silence in the office.

Park Jin-young is waiting, waiting for his junior to speak [ATM]...

Gong Cheng was pondering what gift to buy at the mall later.
A week ago, on April 11th, was the birthday of Executive Director Long. He was in Tokyo at the time and couldn't return to Seoul in time to accept Liu Zhimin's invitation.

However, this time, the Great Tengu actually went "too far".

Taking the opportunity, she suggested that she meet Gong Cheng alone after he returned to Seoul, under the pretext of celebrating her birthday.

To be honest, Hajime didn't really want to deal with such an "unreasonable" request, but he couldn't help but develop feelings for a girl who had been fawning over him for two and a half years, especially after receiving a message from Liu Zhimin:
"Oppa, my biggest and most extravagant wish on my birthday is for you to be with me... But for you, this wish is very simple, isn't it?"

"Just a trainee," was what Gong Cheng initially thought, but in the end, he was too soft-hearted. In his eyes, there was really no difference between a trainee and an idol, but the Dragon of the Executive Department, the Number One Tengu, was different. This affection that she had nurtured was much more precious than his friendship with "Slip-Finger Sister."

His reply was: "Extravagant? What do you take me for...?"

Upon closer reflection, Liu Zhimin had indeed been too subservient. Gong Cheng needed to make her bounce back from rock bottom, otherwise how could she keep licking his boots for twenty or fifty years?

"..."

Park Jin-young had no idea what Gong Cheng was thinking at the moment, and for a moment, he looked at Gong Cheng with a resentful gaze.

Where is our ATM?

This caused the atmosphere in the office to become somewhat awkward...

"I'm leaving now, senior brother~" Gong Cheng stood up and waved with a smile, keeping track of the time. He was going back to Seoul today and had a lot to do. Besides celebrating Liu Zhimin's birthday later, he also had to go and get intimate with his girlfriend Mina-chan tonight and fall in love with her.

Tomorrow I'll have another tryst with Kim Ji-soo, then get intimate with Jo Mi-yeon at noon, and in the afternoon I'll accompany Chae-young to Donamsan for sketching. In the evening, I'll also visit my client Bae Joo-hyun to offer some comfort and earn some extra money.

I'm going back to Tokyo the day after tomorrow to continue treatment... As for Yoona and Han So-hee, we'll meet up next time.

He's not some kind of pile driver.

In short, the itinerary was packed...

"Leaving now?"

Park Jin-young stood up, glanced at Gong Cheng's retreating figure, and spoke with a bitter tone. He bit his lip, looking like a pitiful abandoned person.
……

While going downstairs, Gong Cheng went to the floor where the practice room was located. He glanced at the empty practice room of TWICE and heard from the staff that they had gone to the dressing room. He also heard music coming from the practice room next door.

He glanced sideways at his former practice room, now being used by the younger members of [itzy].

Below their eyes, Hwang Ye-ji and Shin Yuna were facing each other, one tall and one short, their bodies swaying hotly to the rhythm of the music. As for Shin Ryu-jin, Choi Ji-soo, and Lee Chae-ryeong, they sat on the floor watching the two practice, pointing out many flaws and urging them to correct them.

From an aesthetic point of view, it must be said that Shin Yuna's long arms and legs make her dance moves look very passionate and beautiful.

Her long red hair cascaded over her shoulders, and her figure, with its slender waist and wide hips, was accentuated by her white tank top, which revealed her defined abs. However, when her gaze shifted to Shin Yuna's face, she appeared incredibly youthful and naive.

"Boom boom boom~"

While Hwang Ye-ji and Shin Yuna were performing a duet dance.

In the practice room, ITZY's dance teacher happened to see Gong Cheng standing outside the door and exclaimed in surprise, "Tarot~"

"Jae-eum, it's been a long time." Gong Cheng greeted him with a smile. Kim Jae-eum is one of JYP's dance instructors and has participated in the choreography of many TWICE songs.

Upon hearing the familiar voice, the younger members of itzy quickly turned around to look.

In the blink of an eye, they saw Gong Cheng's tall figure, looking at them with a smile on his face.

"Oppa, what brings you here?" Shin Yuna blinked her bright eyes and leaned closer, a fine sheen of sweat glistening on her fair neck.

But fearing the unpleasant smell of her sweat, she quietly took a step back.

She knew that "Big Brother" was a bit of a clean freak and didn't want to leave a sloppy impression on him, so she paid a lot of attention to her image... She didn't know why, but in front of him, she always wanted to show her best side.

Perhaps it was the stirrings of first love, but how old was she? Shin Yuna often pondered this profound question at night. In the end, this guy was just too outstanding. After spending a lot of time with him, all the other trainees and male artists in the company seemed like ugly ducklings.
As a result, her standards rose, and sixteen-year-old Shen Youna was filled with worry about her future boyfriend.

...Maybe I'll meet someone as handsome and capable as Oppa.

My first encounter with JYP Entertainment was a one-night stand with the "playboy" that ruined my life...

Gong Cheng had no idea what Shin Yuna was thinking, but he thought that fame was really good for people. The little brothers of ITZY, compared to the little kids in his memory who practiced every day until their ponytails were messy, although they had a lot of star quality back then, they were all trainees in the end.

But she looked a little better now, and her face, bathed in the flashlight, looked less crazy.

"What are you doing? A duet?"

He walked in curiously, asked a question, and nodded with a smile to Shen Liuzhen and the others.

Kim Jae-eum nodded: "Next month, they will be participating in the KCON 2019 JAPAN concert hosted by CJ ENM. In addition to the group's stage, Yeji and Yuna will have a duet stage, which will mainly be a duet dance."

"Right now, the two of them are preparing for the stage."

"So impressive? They even have their own stage now?" Gong Cheng sat on the sofa, chuckling as he joked. It seems that the younger members of ITZY are doing quite well so far.

This monster rookie group, which became an instant sensation upon their debut, has already secured a place among the top 20 K-pop girl groups.

They recently ranked 16th on the girl group brand chart, and on the 8th of this month, the official MV of their debut album's title track "DALLA DALLA" surpassed 100 million views, making ITZY the fastest girl group in the history of music to reach 100 million views for their debut song MV.

The momentum seems even stronger than that of TWICE back then...

Upon seeing Gong Cheng's unexpected delight, Kim Jae-eun turned to look at Shin Yuna, who had made a mistake during practice: "Tarot is the kind of person who is very talented. He hasn't had much time to practice basic dance, but he knows how to use his strengths to dance."

"Talent?" Gong Cheng chuckled softly.

It's nothing more than good balance and flexibility, a boxing background, and I did quite well when I was dancing. But it's still pretty cool to be used as a positive example.

Shin Yuna listened attentively. Kim Jae-eum walked up to her and pointed to her waist and hips: "So, Yuna, you also need to learn how to use your long arms and legs to your advantage. Since it's a duet stage, you don't need to deliberately lower your knees like you would in a group stage to match the members..."

Hwang Ye-ji, Shin Ryu-jin, Lee Chae-ryeong, Shin Yoo-na, and the four special forces soldiers beside Choi Ji-soo seriously considered the knife dance performed by "Lao Da" during the "Artillery Regiment" period.

In fact, upon analysis, this guy's dance foundation is definitely not as solid as that of Jay Park, Lay Zhang, and Jackson Wang, who started as trainees in their teens and practiced dance for a long time.

But considering his tall stature and the impact of his dance moves, this guy is sexier and more attractive than the others when he dances in those "gun-and-gun" stage performances and music videos with their synchronized dance sequences.

"..."

While instructing Shin Yuna, Kim Jae-eun suddenly had a brilliant idea. She looked at Gong Cheng with a smile and said, "Why don't you team up with Yuna and Yeji separately?"

"Help them get a feel for it?"

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone at ITZY, including the person in question, looked at Gong Cheng with great interest.

Gong Cheng was quite surprised by the suggestion. He took a sip of orange juice and shook his head: "Ani, as you know, I haven't danced in a long time in Otona. I'm really rusty."

He's not an idol who sings, dances, raps, or plays basketball; he's a singer. After the "Pao Tuan" (a group of singers) went solo but didn't disband, Gong Cheng rarely stayed in the practice room. A singer's main job is still songs and singing skills.

Kim Jae-eum shrugged and didn't stand on ceremony with the boy in front of her. Back in the early days when Gong Cheng founded Bombardment Meteor, she and May J Lee were responsible for the choreography of the knife-like dance and some songs.

Therefore, she knew perfectly well whether Gong Cheng could dance and how well he could dance. She smiled and said, "For Yeji and Yuna's stage, the dance music is meant to showcase a very 'A' and 'Girl' vibe... But it seems that Yuna, apart from being a bit stiff and having a large frame, is lacking in dance moves..."

"Yeji can't find that feeling at all."

Upon hearing this, Gong Cheng raised his eyelids, recalled the dance music he had just heard outside the door, and chuckled: "Did Brother Zhenying choose the song?"

“Yes.” Kim Jae-eun nodded, glancing at him with surprise.

How could you guess so accurately?

Gong Cheng immediately understood what Park Jin-young was up to: promoting the in-group pairings. But it seemed that Ryujin was more popular in the lesbian community.
However, if he wanted to convey that feeling, why didn't this guy come over and give him instructions himself?
Being flirtatious and shameless is his specialty...

"Yeji and Yuna's dancing skills are quite good." Kim Jae-eum didn't hold back her praise. Apart from the main vocalist's slightly weaker dancing skills, the other four members of ITZY are all above average among girl groups today.
"But after all, I'm still young and don't quite understand that kind of hazy, ambiguous feeling."

She pointed out the common problem with Hwang Ye-ji and Shin Yuna's current collaboration stage: it lacks eroticism and even occasionally breaks into laughter, missing the essence of the dance music itself and failing to bring out the lingering and ambiguous tone of the song through dance.

Gong Cheng coughed twice, glanced at Jin Zaiyin, and then at Shen Liuzhen: "Not enough lesbian romance, we need to find Liuzhen. Our Liuzhen looks quite handsome with short hair, doesn't he?"

Shin Ryujin currently has medium-length hair, with some yellow highlights at the ends of her hair on the inside of her neck, which actually makes her look a bit like a "punk" or "emo" style.

Honestly, sometimes it's really hard to understand the company's stylists...

What barrenness?

Upon hearing his praise, Shen Liuzhen laughed heartily and chuckled twice.

"You're here now, why would you need to keep Shin Ryujin if there's someone ready?" Kim Jae-eun said matter-of-factly. In her opinion, it would be better to have 'Tarot' in front of her do it rather than have Shin Ryujin demonstrate it herself.

Such a handsome boy would make anyone's heart flutter, and Hwang Ye-ji and Shin Yuna's collaboration stage perfectly captured that feeling.

Before Gong Cheng could even think, Shen Youna came running over excitedly, grabbed his wrist, and pulled him back. Seeing she couldn't budge him, she half-squatted down, pulling Gong Cheng back with a pleading, expectant expression, and said:
"Oppa~ Show us!"

"...Yeji unnie and I just can't find that feeling that Jae-in-sensei was talking about~"

Shen You-na glanced at herself and chuckled as she spoke.

I really want to experience a duet dance with the oppa in front of me. Plus, I'm over 170cm tall, so we'd be a good height match if we danced together.

Hwang Ye-ji's reddened fox-like eyelids, which had been filled with anticipation, suddenly turned sour upon hearing Shin Yuna's words. He exclaimed, "Hey, Yuna?!"

The way I'm talking makes me feel like I'm just average.

"..." Gong Cheng sighed and looked at Shen You Na's pleading little face. His heart softened, and he stood up following her hand. "Alright, alright, I'll dance with you for a bit. I knew I shouldn't have come in."

Fortunately, there's still plenty of time before the appointment with the Executive Department's Dragon, so there's no rush.

"Clap!" Kim Jae-eum clapped her hands with a smile when she saw this. Shin Ryu-jin and the others were also happy and wanted to see this guy's live dance, because he was really handsome... which made it worth looking forward to.

Kim Jae-eum stood on the open floor, facing Gong Cheng, and gave a brief instruction on the dance moves she had choreographed.

"..."

In less than ten minutes, Kim Jae-eun demonstrated it twice.

Gong Cheng yawned, pinched his brow, and nodded: "Okay, let's begin. You've almost memorized the movements."

With the experience of spending a lot of time with trainees in 16/17, recording dance moves was a routine task, provided that the basic skills were solid. Many trainees with excellent skills could memorize dance moves that were not too complicated very quickly.

"Boom boom boom~"

The music from the speakers was suddenly turned on, and the magnetic bass melody mixed with upbeat drumbeats instantly filled the entire practice room.

The young inmates, who had been scattered about, instinctively fell silent, their eyes all fixed on the center of the area…

Gong Cheng stretched his shoulders and back, the fabric of his charcoal gray knitted cardigan swaying gently with the movement, revealing his superior physique to the group.

Shen Youna stood half a step in front of him, a hint of nervous excitement hidden in her eyes. She took a deep breath and watched Gong Cheng slowly approach her. The faint fragrance emanating from him, mixed with the rhythm of the music, enveloped her little by little, making her unconsciously hold her breath.

The initial synchronized dance, the movements of the two dancers were coordinated and unified.

However, Huang Lizhi and the others sitting on the floor directly noticed Gong Cheng's advantage of having long arms and legs as the two danced face to face. His movements were crisp and clean, with no hesitation and impact.

The youngest member, Shin Yuna, was not to be outdone, jumping around with all her might.

"Aigoo, Yuna, don't push yourself so hard. Dance music is supposed to be gentle. What do you mean by dancing Tarot to death?" Kim Jae-eum's speechless reminder traveled through the music and into the practice room.

The problem with Yuna and Yeji is that they lack romantic feelings and moments of attraction.

"..." Gong Cheng glanced at her with a light laugh, repeating the teaching movements from earlier in his mind. In time with the music, he slowly raised his knee, the movement swift and rhythmic. His knee stopped just an inch below Shen You Na's waist, not touching her, yet creating a highly taut distance, as if inviting her...

He raised his left hand, his fingertips lightly touching her waist without any force. But Gong Cheng, who was extremely serious about his work, could still feel the delicate warmth of her fingertips... There was a layer of fine sweat on them, and they were slippery.

Her fair abdomen revealed her navel and abs. When Gong Cheng's slightly cool fingers touched her waist, Shen You Na's face, which had been burning with "fierce fighting spirit," suddenly contracted her pupils. She unconsciously held her breath and slowed her movements.

She felt a jolt, like an electric current, run through her skin on her side, sending a shiver down her spine and a tingling sensation spreading throughout her body.

"Concentrate." Gong Cheng looked down at Shen Youna, who was slowly lying down in his arms, with a serious look in his eyes, and reminded her. But when he saw her slightly trembling body, he wondered what was going on.

Yuna, is your brother worried that I can catch you safely and that you might fall to the ground? So, he calmly added, "Don't worry, bend over, I'll catch you."

Shen Youna bit her lower lip, her face flushed with embarrassment and nervousness. She lowered her waist and lay flat in Gong Cheng's arms, following the dance moves. But as her body sank down, the hand that had been loosely holding her waist suddenly pressed hard against her waist, the long fingers seemingly climbing on her abs.

"Yuna, that's right! Open your body up a bit more!"

"That's the feeling I wanted, why are you blushing?" Kim Jae-eum clapped her hands in satisfaction, then continued to point out problems, "Dance needs to be emotional, Yuna, release your emotions, look at Tarot, why are you hiding?"

Hagiwara: I'm so angry!!!
Shen Youna's waist was completely bent in Gong Cheng's arms. Her straight, fair legs were visible beneath her hot pants. One foot was lightly touching the floor, while the other was suspended in mid-air. Lying in Gong Cheng's arms, her large, blinking eyes were filled with panic. Listening to Teacher Zaiyin's words, she met Gong Cheng's focused gaze...

Why isn't Oppa blushing?

This question, inexplicably, welled up in her mind...

"Nice!" The music stopped, and Kim Jae-eun said with a smile, "Yuna, did you remember that feeling from just now?"

The dance part that Gong Cheng just performed was a segment from Yeji.

Next, Gong Cheng will use Yuna's paragraphs to pair with Yeji...

"...I, I remember Teacher Jae-in." The lively Shin Yuna blushed slightly, her face burning hot. It seemed that the hand around her waist was still lingering. Oppa was really a gentleman; his hand didn't touch her at all.

But why do I feel somewhat frustrated?
She couldn't understand it... but her sharp eyes quickly noticed that this oppa was secretly wiping his hands with a wet wipe, seemingly not wanting her to see, and he even turned his body slightly to the side...

For a moment, Shen Youna opened her mouth, and then her heart shattered.

She glanced down at her abs, which were still covered in beads of sweat.

"Lao Da," you bastard—you're disgusted by a young girl's sweet sweat too?

soon……

The "boom boom boom" melody started again.

Gong Cheng relied on his memory to dance Shin Yuna's part. At Kim Jae-eum's suggestion, he deliberately enlarged the dance moves to make it easier for Shin Yuna, who was sitting on the floor, to learn.

Surprisingly, Huang Lizhi and Gong Cheng's dance moves were quite synchronized.

The dance also came to an end at the end of the song.

Huang Lizhi nervously swallowed, the veins on her fair neck bulging. She tiptoed, turned around, put one hand on Gong Cheng's shoulder, her face flushed, and looked at him intently.

As the music tempo gradually quickened, Gong Cheng's movements became more intense. He raised his hand and wrapped it around Huang Lizhi's waist, tightening his grip with each movement.

Yeji, who looked like a little fox, stood on tiptoe, her chin resting on his shoulder...

Gong Cheng felt that it was a stupid move for him to guide the two of them in their dance. With his height of nearly 190cm in shoes, Yuna was fine, but Reiji had to stand on her tiptoes to complete the dance moves, which made her movements very stiff.

Their bodies pressed gently together in time with the beat. Huang Lizhi's brown hair brushed against Gong Cheng's neck, tickling him. But as their cheeks touched for the last moment, his hot breath sprayed onto Yeji's earlobe.

Hwang Ye-ji's body froze instantly, followed by a series of fine shivers... His fox-like eyes, which were usually always smiling, were completely devoid of their usual liveliness, filled with awkward panic. He quickly glanced at the members sitting in the corner watching, then quickly looked away, not daring to even lift his eyelids.

"Boom boom boom..." Yeji's cheek pressed against Gong Cheng's warm neck, sniffing the air; it smelled so sweet. He could clearly feel the pulse throbbing beneath his skin, making Huang Lizhi afraid to look at the other members, his heart pounding wildly...

"..."

The song ends.

Gong Cheng released Huang Lizhi, his gaze catching the blush on her slender neck that spread from her earlobe to her collarbone, like a thin layer of rouge, exceptionally eye-catching...

So sensitive?

"Yeji, do you remember that feeling?"

Kim Jae-eum asked with a smile.
