Chapter 64: When I Am a Pabo

surfacing, HAN’s departure from Seventeen, f(x)’s premature end to activities, and Red Velvet facing boycotts since their debut, things hadn't exactly been going smoothly for Pledis. Finally, on the 1...After the broadcast of the stage performance of "M!tdown" from episode 6, as expected by the production company and the crew, it caused a huge response in the evening. 池景源 and 's powerful singing perfectly interpreted the song while also perfectly expressing the sweet romantic feeling between the male and female lead characters in the drama.

The scenes of those warm and affectionate smiles still linger in the audience's hearts.

For a while, many viewers were confused about who was on stage: was it Ji Chang-wook and Jung Eun-ji, or Yoon Chan-young and Park Se-won

For a while, more and more people were hoping the two would go from on-screen to off-screen, and several fan clubs dedicated to the two were even formed.

As for these voices, Chi Jingyuan remained noncommittal. He still felt that he and Jung Eunji didn't quite match up when they stood together. Although he acknowledged Jung Eunji's smile and charm, those ten centimeters of heels couldn't be worn every day, could they

>It can only be said that "Reply 1997" is too popular, and the audience doesn't want to leave it.

Of course, EXO and Yuan's fans naturally oppose it with all their might. Oppa belongs to them only! Zheng Eundi, that woman, is just fine acting in TV dramas and getting close to Oppa in the drama. But if she dares to do the same outside of the drama, they will anti-her to death.

So many viewers hope that Ji Jingyuan and Zheng Eundi form a real CP. The feeling they show in the drama and on stage really feels like they are dating.

But the world is so strange, while countless people are smiling and shipping them, they can't imagine that in reality, Ji Jingyuan's closest relationship isn't Zheng Eundi, but her group member, Son Naeun.

Who would have thought...

…………

On the evening of September 8th, in an alleyway near Apgujeong District's Apk dormitory complex in Seoul, a black sedan sat parked. The driver’s seat was illuminated, while the backseat remained pitch black.

The office building of ACUBE, the agency that manages Apk, is located near Hongik University, so their dormitory would naturally be chosen in a nearby location.

The economic company treats Apk quite well. Their dormitory is located in an average-sized residential area with password locks. The facilities and exterior are both good, and there's a fairly large underground parking lot as well.

Ji Jingyuan previously didn't know the location of their dormitory, Son Na-eun told him herself.

It's Saturday night, well past ten o'clock, but the main road outside is still bustling with people. Crowds of men and women fill every inch of space, their voices blending together like a symphony. The lively and boisterous atmosphere can be felt even from a distance down this side street.

Hongdae shopping district is always this lively, there are a lot of people no matter when you come.

But the alley where the car was parked was already quite a distance from the main road, with far fewer people around. During that time period, only a few individuals passed by sporadically, walking quickly as if they didn't want to linger too long in this quiet alley.

Chi Jingyuan sat in the back seat of the car, looking at the colorful and constantly glowing signs across from him. He rubbed his temples with a weary expression.

He only went to sleep early yesterday morning and got up early to film. When it was dawn, he finished filming all his scenes for today and then took a break from the crew. After returning, he participated in a personal pictorial shoot and an interview activity.

After the interview, I came straight here. I was originally supposed to go shoot another ad case, but he made an excuse yesterday to push it back a few hours.

I came here naturally to meet Sun Na Eun.

The two of them exchanged contact information in August. Son Na-eun took the initiative to send a text message, and it's been over a month now. Although they haven't officially confirmed their relationship yet, they're very close. Whether it's the ambiguous wording in the text messages or the intimate tone in the calls, they're just like a couple already in love.

Sun Na-eun was the initiator of this relationship, but the actual confession to solidify the relationship has never been spoken. As for Ji Kyung-won...

They have been in constant contact through text messages and calls since they first started talking, but they have never met in person.

After yesterday's stage broadcast with Jung Eun-ji, when he called Son Na-eun, she seemed unhappy and didn't speak when she first answered the call. When she finally spoke, her voice was hesitant and awkward.

Although there wasn't a confirmed relationship, Sun Na-eun felt in her heart that the two were already dating. Ji Kyung-won and Jung Eun-ji's collaborative stage with their eye contact had CP fans ecstatic. But to her, it was very uncomfortable.

At the end of the call, Son Na-eun also asked about Ji Kyung-won's recent schedule. She didn't explicitly say it, but she hinted at wanting to meet up.

This girl is quiet in variety shows, sitting quietly on the side and smiling. It's said that she's quite quiet in private and not very lively.

But when chatting with Chi Jingyuan, she became more cheerful, like a high school girl. Sometimes she even seemed clingy, and her lack of dating experience was apparent.

Chi Jingyuan didn't know if he was feeling wrong.

Mingming is very pretty and has a great figure.

After the call yesterday, Chi Jingyuan adjusted his work schedule in advance and made time to come over proactively this evening.

"Jǐngyuán, I'm nearby. Give me a message when you're about to leave."

"Everything is already bought, just put it on the passenger seat."

The driver, Pak Jae-hyun, turned off the interior lights, tidied his clothes, and opened the car door to leave. As he was leaving, he added, "I have a commercial shoot later on. Please watch the time."

"In Hyung-go, if you're looking at the clock and it's getting late, just find an excuse to push back the ad shoot by an hour." Ji-yeong replied softly with his eyes closed.

"Okay, I understand."

Park Jae-hyun shut the gate, and after a while he disappeared.

Chi Jingyuan has not yet reached adulthood and does not have a driver's license. Even if he were to go on a date, he would not be able to drive himself.

However, having Pu Zai Xian around also has its advantages. The driver can also act as an assistant and even a bodyguard occasionally, which is very convenient. Plus, he's one of our own, so we can trust him with confidentiality and security.

Chi Jingyuan rubbed his temples, opened his eyes, tapped on his phone a few times before putting it down. He sat in the back seat of the car and closed his eyes to rest.

"Na-eun ah, where are you going in such a hurry"

Yin Pume saw Sun Na-eun hurrying toward the door, put on her shoes and was about to go out, and casually asked.

The dorm is currently occupied by three people, with Jin Nana Joo playing alone in the room. Jeong Eunji is still at the filming site, and the other members are busy with their own things.

I'm running out of some household supplies, so I'm going to go buy some. I'll be back in a little while.

Sun Na-eun replied in a crisp voice, put on her shoes and walked out, closing the door behind her. Then came the sound of hurried footsteps, getting fainter and fainter.

"Buying something..." Yin Pu Mei sat back on the sofa, staring blankly at the door and pouting.

"Dressed so beautifully... As if I'm a pab0."
