Chapter Eighty-Seven It Must Be So

g their respects." Do Kyungsoo nodded."Oh, I heard it's to attend the Hallyu Music Festival..."Kim Jun-myeon took a sip of water, his expression complex, and sighed, "It's still being held in Los Ange..."How come I feel like you're missing a few Want to count again"

Looking at Pingjo's counting, it seemed a bit unreliable. One number seemed to be repeated two or three times just now. Namizuki Minami peered forward and said with some worry.

"I've counted this so many times already, you have to count it."

"I've counted it several times and my head is about to explode. Pingjing Tao glared at her with annoyance, stood up and snorted: "It's not like I'm here to see my boyfriend, just count yourself if you want to come so much."

Minai Nan's momentum seemed weak, her eyes looked forward, but she still stubbornly whispered, "You said you were coming..."

“......Moeko Sawaguchi widened her eyes in disbelief, staring at Mai Minami before her without daring to meet her gaze. She stared for several seconds before stiffly nodding, resigning herself with a self-deprecating admission: "Okay, I insisted on dragging you here. It has nothing to do with you, really. You didn't want to come at all..."

Although they've only known each other for less than a year, living together every day has allowed him to get to know Minami, his fellow trainee sister from the same hometown, pretty well.

Before I knew her, she seemed gentle and frail, with a soft, slightly husky voice. But after getting to know her, I discovered that she is actually a strong-willed person with her own ideas.

Subsequently, I slowly discovered that she is quite strong. Although her family background is very good, she works hard and endures hardship for her own dreams and goals. When she first arrived, she practiced every day, which was very tiring and difficult. The surrounding environment was also unfamiliar, but Minami Naito could persevere until today.

Later on, after getting to know her well, I discovered some of her hidden traits. For example, she had a bit of vanity and could be somewhat introverted, though she didn't show it much on the surface. However, her inner world and emotions were very rich.

I found out today that these sisters are still a little stubborn.

Momoko Tai is a bit speechless.

Mingming kept mentioning how she saw Kei-gen's contract with the television station over these past two days, hinting at it repeatedly both directly and indirectly. I was getting a little annoyed, so I casually said, "Let's go early that day." Mingming immediately agreed, but now it seems like she's the one who wants to come

Okay, actually she kind of wants to come too.

……

"Thank you all so much for your love and support of me, and our "The Untamed" drama crew. It's really heartwarming to see so many viewers already. I feel so happy."

"High five-ing, I hope you guys go easy. After all, there are a hundred people... and wait, I still have to go back to filming."

"I don't know if you guys will like the fried chicken and coffee we bought... Anyway, I tried it and thought it was pretty good."

"Hahaha…"

After packing up all the things to be sold neatly on the table behind, after a while, Chi Jingyuan stood on the small stage with a microphone, gave a simple opening speech, and made a small joke that caused a burst of laughter from the front. The front was a sea of people, watching him intently. In the slightly cold morning, the atmosphere gradually warmed up.

This is the first time he has completed a viewing agreement, but this kind of situation doesn't put any pressure on Ji Jingyuan. Over two years since his debut, he has experienced too many such situations. Even though he was watched by so many people, he didn't feel uncomfortable.

After saying a few words, the signing ceremony officially began. Zhi Jingyuan stood on the small stage, and staff members had reached the front of the arranged queue, letting people pass one by one.

At the very front was a little girl with pigtails, who looked to be about fifteen or sixteen years old. She clearly was still a student, and Chi Jingyuan immediately felt like he knew her.

He had seen this fan several times when he was working at Seoul Square, often coming to squat outside his door early in the morning.

Today I managed to get first place again, no idea how early she arrived.

I took a quick glance and saw that the first four or five people in line were all old fans who frequently came to Seoul Square to see him. They were all young, or had plenty of free time and money as loyal yuan fans.

Actually, having met Chi Jingyuan so many times, these fans wouldn't be as excited as ordinary fans would. It's because their love and support for Chi Jingyuan drive them to participate in all activities related to their idol.

池景源 today didn't wear much makeup, looking very natural. He was dressed in a standard suit with a dark blue tie, the quintessential office worker look. His well-defined physique perfectly filled out the tailored suit. He looked just like Zhang Klai from the drama, except for a difference in aura.

Even though many office workers around him were wearing similar clothes, he still stood out the most.

"Thank you for your support, Kang Sang Mita..."

Pool Jingyuan and the first female diner clapped. He took the fried chicken and coffee from Park Jaeyeon who was standing next to him and personally handed it to her.

After a brief smile and casual greeting, the person moved on to another fan after just two sentences. The interaction with each fan lasted for about 40-50 seconds, nearly a minute in total.

It's not a formal meet-and-greet or a paying fan event. It's more casual, with less talking and formality. Also, with 100 attendees, if everyone gets too much time, the whole event could drag on too long. This would inconvenience others who have to work and make it hard for him to get back to filming afterwards.

After a few older fans at the front of the line, it was finally the turn of a woman in her thirties dressed in business attire. She clearly looked much more mature than the student fans who came before her.

"The Untamed is really good, and Xichen's acting is also very good."

"Fight on!"

Although he seemed happy to see Chi Jingyuan, he wasn't overly excited. He smiled gently and gave him a clap, saying some words of support and encouragement. He also expressed his love for "Born" and Zhang Kelai.

This kind of mature and rational fan in their thirties gives Chi Jingyuan a completely different feeling from the student fans in their teens. Although they both offer the same level of support, one is more introverted and steadfast, while the other is flamboyant and loyal.

No matter what kind it is, being supported by fans will always make him feel happy and fulfilled.

During the handover, Ji Jingyuan glanced around. The neat queue consisted mainly of white-collar workers in business attire, accounting for about 30 to 40 percent. This was a considerable proportion.

Pool Kyung-won's decision to star in the drama "The Uncanny Counter" is now, looking back, a very important choice. After four episodes aired, the TV series viewership continued to rise, and the show became increasingly popular. As the male lead, Pool Kyung-won was one of the biggest beneficiaries, especially his acting in the first few episodes impressed many viewers with its significant improvement and left them in awe of his progress.

Apart from that, the biggest advantage is that Chi Jingyuan's popularity and favorability have greatly increased among the white-collar workers in their twenties and thirties. This has made up for many of his shortcomings as an idol.

As one of the main pillars of society, office workers have long passed the age of chasing stars. It is very difficult to gain their favor and support. However, the drama "The Sound of Your Voice" unexpectedly gained the liking of many white-collar workers in South Korea. As a result, Park Kyung-won has become a young actor they currently like and admire very much.

As fans lined up one by one for handshakes, plates of food were handed out. Although the queue in front stretched endlessly out of sight, Park Bo Gum's count, along with the dwindling number of fried chicken and coffee on the table, indicated that the 100 spots would be filled very soon.

Although the number wasn't huge, it wasn't too tiring just to clap and say a few words. Facing these fans who supported him, Ji Jingyuan showed a sunny smile and excellent condition.

A girl quickly walked to the front and made Chi Jingyuan pause for a second because this person felt somewhat familiar to him.

On the surface, he didn't show anything. He quickly thought about it in his mind and soon matched a face from when he went to CB with Suzy Bae before.

She is one of the three female trainees who went to CB with Lee Jun Ho.

And last year at the trainee showcase, he seemed to have seen this girl's stage performance as well, but his impression wasn't very deep.

I didn't expect her to come to the event today. A Neon Practice Student, wouldn't she still be my fan

Seeing this somewhat embarrassed girl smiling, with her forehead covered, Ji Jingyuan took the initiative to extend his right hand and asked in a soft voice with a smile: "Annyeonghaseyo, you are... oo"

There's a VJ over there with a camera filming. This footage will be used in behind-the-scenes clips from "The Untamed" that will be released later. However, we're not very close and the surrounding noise is quite loud. It's hard to hear if you speak quietly.

"Ah, Senior Yuan, do you still remember me" Hearing her name, Pingjiang Peach was delighted. Her eyes lit up and she raised her head abruptly, causing her bangs to sway. She quickly reached out and gently clapped hands with Chi Jingyuan.

She actually looks quite a bit like a fan, and she seems to be visibly excited to meet Ji Sung-won.

"Inside... Thank you for your support of our work "The Unliving," Kon San**a."

Ji Jingyuan smiled in response, then turned to take the coffee and fried chicken from Park Jae-hyun's hand. While politely thanking him, he handed it to Mochizuki Momo, his face lit up with a smile, but it was no different from how he treated other fans.

Even being able to remember her own name made Momoko Hiroi very happy. Facing Ki Kenzan's thanks, she was so excited that she even bowed politely. Seeing the staff signal that time was up, she left quickly and stood nearby smiling expectantly for her friend.

Chi Jingyuan had a premonition after seeing this trainee named oo, who was a neon trainee.

As expected, the next girl to walk over was trainee A, who was also the most memorable member of the CB trio that day in Jiyeong's eyes.

What impressed me was that the conflict that night was started by her. Afterwards, at the police station, she kept crying and looking at people, which was really annoying. Before leaving, she even proactively asked for his contact information, but he directly refused her.

There are so many things that I can't even remember them all.

They were originally from two different worlds. Ji Jingyuan thought that after they met once, they would never see each other again. Unexpectedly, he ran into her here today.

It's been getting colder lately, and even the morning temperatures have dropped. Minami now wears a black jacket with red striped edges, the zipper pulled up to her collarbone, revealing a white round-neck shirt underneath. Her slim fit casual pants are quite eye-catching.

She had long, jet-black hair styled in three sections that cascaded down her shoulders, revealing the left side of her forehead. Her face was obviously made up, with a slightly curled upper lip and a slightly parted mouth, revealing a flash of white teeth. Her lips glistened as if coated with lipstick or some other gloss.

At this moment, he stood before Chi Jingyuan, looking visibly awkward. His coat sleeves were long, his hands clenched at the hem and tucked inside, only showing two or three knuckles. He gazed up at Chi Jingyuan, who was considerably taller than him, his eyes wide and unblinking, his gaze rippling like water, as if trying to convey something.

She pursed her lips, as if trying to make her smile look prettier, but no matter how you looked at it, she seemed a little nervous.

Now, Nan is truly feeling her heart pounding. She had imagined this scene countless times before, even prepared some talking points, but standing face-to-face with Chi Jingyuan, she realizes there's no point in any of it.

This is the second time they've met in real life, but this time, dressed in a suit with a business-like smile, Ji Jingyuan was completely different from the Ji Jingyuan she had seen at the CB and at the police station last time. His appearance hadn't changed at all, but he gave her two totally different feelings.

"I…" Minami wanted to say something, but was cut off by the other party.

"Annyeonghaseyo..."

Chi Jingyuan smiled and gave a greeting. Then he stretched out his hand, stopping it in mid-air and waving it towards her.

Namikaze, who was taken aback for a moment, quickly reached out her right hand from her sleeve, raised it hesitantly, blinked her eyes once, and then slapped Chi Jingyuan's hand with a crisp sound.

She's quite strong, and I don't know if she's trying to show her passion or vent something.

Chi Jingyuan could feel the sweat in the other person's palm, it was a bit sticky.

"Thank you for your support of our game 'Ukiyo.' Sincerely, Konomi."

Chi Jingyuan didn't call her name, only expressing his thanks for her presence with his trademark polite smile, then taking the food and handing it to her.

Although Minami left a pretty deep impression on him, Ji Jingyuan didn't have anything particularly special about her. She was just someone he had happened to meet once.

That is, she looks pretty good and has a rather unique temperament.

Before, Nan had been hiding her hands in her sleeves, but now she extended them to receive the coffee and fried chicken from Ji Jingyuan. However, her complexion suddenly worsened, and the sparkle in her eyes dimmed noticeably.

Because she found that Ji Jingyuan didn't seem to have any special place for her, as if he had no impression of her anymore.

This feeling is too bad.

After that, the time was up. Under the staff's indication, Nanami Minase took her things and left the stage. As she went down, she couldn't help but look back at the stage one last time. At this time, Keisou Ike had already started greeting the next fan.

Seeing Ping Jingtao waving at her, Nami Minai walked slowly towards her with a bad mood. Her emotions were quite complicated.

I had prepared a lot of things I wanted to say when we met, but standing here now, I realize there's no opportunity to.

She wasn't expecting to actually say anything meaningful in this situation. Minami was just hoping for a slightly different treatment, like maybe Ji-yeong still remembered her and greeted her by name or something.

She was very happy just like that.

It's a pity, not one of them. She seemed like just an ordinary fan, no different from other spectators attending the event.

"What's wrong Why aren't you happy to see your boyfriend" Seeing Nan Minami approaching with a noticeably gloomy face, far less energetic than her usual self, Pingi Momoko asked in confusion as she sipped her coffee.

"Well, Namiko walked over and pursed her lips, unsure of what to say."

Didn't they say that they don't remember themselves at all

"This coffee tastes pretty good, and the fried chicken was also great. Yuan senior really put his heart into this event." Pingmei took a big gulp of coffee and swallowed it, then commented: "What did you say You definitely remember his name, right I think he has a pretty strong impression of you."

"Why say that" Nanami Minami looked up at her.

Of course, the moment I walked in he asked me if I was oo. He recognized me right away. He even remembered my name, and yours goes without saying.

Hiromi flipped through the paper bag and took a smaller piece of fried chicken with her hand, savoring it while saying: "After all, he helped you out that day, and you even asked for his contact information. If I were him, I would definitely remember you."

"... "

" Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Naomi Nan heard this and was a little stunned. What Momoko Hiroi said wasn't quite what she had imagined in her heart just now.

She thought that Chi Jingyuan didn't mind what happened that day and the three inconspicuous trainees, he had already forgotten about them.

But Momoko Tai said he recognized oo right away and even called her name.

That pond scene should probably also remember its own identity.

Then why did he call out oo's name but not a's when greeting them And he even pretended not to recognize her, making her feel down for a while.

Why should she be treated specially

Could it be……

A thought suddenly popped into Nami Minami's mind. After a brief hesitation, her mood instantly improved.

She suddenly had a hunch for no reason at all.

That's definitely it!

Heartened by this thought, she couldn't help but smile. A fleeting expression crossed her face, brightening her features in an instant. Her lips involuntarily curled upwards.

She glanced at Taeko Hirano, ignoring the other woman's extremely strange gaze. She took out the still-hot coffee and held it in her hand, taking a sip with relish and letting out a contented "hm" before nodding approvingly:

"It's really delicious, so sweet."

"Are you... are you alright"

…………

After the wrap party, Chi Jingyuan returned to the set and continued filming the TV series.

Today's event went smoothly without any major incidents. After all 100 spots were filled, some fans waiting in line became disgruntled as he was about to leave. However, after Park Jae-hyun came out and pretended to be angry, forcefully pulling Ji Chang-wook away, the situation was resolved.

The manager directly absorbed all the hate and fire. Disgruntled fans saw Ji Kyeong-won being dragged away while waving apologetically at them, and they understood in their hearts. They could only complain that the manager was a scoundrel for preventing them from interacting with their idol and wished he would just die.

Today's event, besides a few familiar faces among the fans, the most memorable were oo and a whom I knew before. However, although we knew each other, Park Ji-won didn't seem to have any particular feelings for them.

That's all they've met a couple of times, there wasn't much interaction. There's a big distance between him and the trainees, let alone those from Japan. Once they can't debut, they definitely have to go back home.

I guess this is really the last time we'll see each other.

After finishing a day's shoot, Ji Jingyuan sat in the nanny car and returned to the dormitory. The crew got off work earlier today than usual, so he arrived back sooner than normal.

For the past few days, I've been so busy that I was staying up until 1 or 2 in the morning. When I got back to the dorm, everyone else was already asleep. But today, this time is when everyone seems to be most energetic.

As soon as he returned, Chi Jingyuan noticed that the atmosphere in the dormitory was noticeably off. Several people were gathered in the living room, discussing something intently, and the whole room felt heavy with unspoken tension, as if something had happened.

After seeing Chi Jingyuan come back, the several members in the living room also nodded towards him and greeted him: "Welcome back."

What's the situation

Chi Jingyuan changed his shoes and walked in, tossing his bag into the corner of the sofa before asking with a puzzled expression.

The company wants Tao to return to the team ahead of schedule, and also for practice to begin for the concert on November 11th.

Kim Jun-myeon glanced at the side bedroom door, tightly shut, and whispered an explanation:

"Tao didn't want to, he just had an argument with Cheng Huan a while ago."
