this time to rest a bit.They just got back from recording in the studio, and they're going to keep practicing the dance for "Wolf" afterward.The choreography for this song was the biggest challenge th..."As expected, the second-ranked entertainer on the Peninsula with an annual income of 550 billion."
Sunny waited at the spot they had agreed upon, a lane outside the Girls' Generation dormitory complex. After a while, she saw a white two-door sports car appear in her vision. It was quite eye-catching. The car slowly stopped in front of her. She first crossed her arms and circled the car twice, then opened the gullwing door and stood at the doorway, unable to help but gasp.
"Just got your driver's license and you're already driving such a cool car... did you buy it with your share" She took one stride to get into the passenger seat, then reached out to pull the door closed. She seemed quite familiar with it, estimating that she wasn't the first time riding in this kind of car."
As expected of a senior who has debuted for eight years, they have more insight and mature charm than some youngsters who haven't seen the world.
Watching her fasten her seatbelt, Ji Jingyuan directly stepped on the gas pedal and drove toward the address Taeyeon had just sent him. His hands were on the steering wheel, his eyes focused on the road ahead, but he was casually chatting with Sunny: “That’s not quite… I guess it was my brother who gave it to me.”
"As expected of royalty," Sunny looked back and forth at the interior of the car, somewhat in awe.
They all bought their own cars during their Girls' Generation days. Besides Yoona, the most expensive car should belong to Taeyeon, a Mercedes-Benz. But her car is only around 200 million won, and she has more than one.
Of course, it's not that you can't afford more expensive ones, it's just that if they're not particularly rare, you naturally consider your income and consumption level to be balanced.
"Chi Jingyuan seemed very natural, nodding his head to the left and right: "Of course, otherwise, how would I have been parachuted in"
"Hoo hoo..." As soon as these words came out, Sunny seemed to remember when the two of them had just met a few years ago. She couldn't help but laugh and glanced at Ji Jingyuan, who was driving. The face that she thought was very good-looking a few years ago when they first met is still the same, only the appearance seems to have no obvious changes, but the temperament has become much more capable and mature. The aura exclusive to an idol is also very visible.
Chi Jingyuan also turned his head and tilted his head at her, meeting her gaze. Both of them laughed and then turned back to the road, their hearts filled with a little happiness.
This kind of close and nostalgic friendship without any hint of ambiguity truly makes him enjoy it.
That's great.
Kim Tae Yeon's address is a barbecue restaurant in Seongdong-dong, Jung-gu, Seoul. It's a bit of a distance from the Girls' Generation dormitory in Gangnam District, but luckily it was late at night and traffic had already decreased a lot. The drive was smooth with no major congestion and she arrived at her destination quickly.
The parking lot was right at the door. After Chi Jingyuan parked the car, the two of them put on their disguises and got out of the car, walking toward the store. Before entering, Chi Jingyuan specifically looked up at the sign above the door that read 'Golden Pig'.
He mumbled a couple of words under his breath, feeling that the name of the shop was strangely familiar. He seemed to remember an EXO member recommending this place to him before, but he couldn't recall if it was Kim Junmyeon or Oh Sehun.
The business was really good. Even at eleven o'clock, there were still quite a few diners waiting in line outside when Chi Jingyuan and the other person came in. As soon as they entered, the brightly lit lobby on the first floor was also packed with people. Waiters shuttled back and forth among the tables, serving dishes. The sizzling sound of oil and the aroma of barbecue filled the air, making it hard to resist drooling.
"Hello, may I ask if you have a reservation"
"My friend has already arrived, on the third floor."
"Pool Jingyuan said a word to the waiter who greeted him proactively. As soon as he spoke, the female waiter's expression changed immediately. Her eyes looked at Pool Jingyuan and Sunny with curiosity and inquiry, not knowing if she recognized them or not, she quickly regained her composure and retracted her gaze. She said, "Please follow me," and led the two upstairs while introducing them along the way."
This barbecue restaurant is very spacious, with a total of three floors. The first and second floors are mainly used as dining halls and private rooms.
Most hotels do not allow pets, but this one is an exception. There is a designated pet-friendly dining area on the second floor. Although you need to call in advance to inquire, it's generally quite thoughtful.
While the third floor has the smallest area, it's generally not open to the public. According to the waiter, it is usually reserved for debuting artists or celebrities. There seems to be only one table of people dining on the third floor right now, which explains why the waiter's eyes changed as soon as he heard that Ji Jingyuan and a few others wanted to go to the third floor. It's obvious he knew they were both artists, but it's unclear if he recognized them.
Given the current circumstances, this site may close at any time. Please move to the permanently operating source app, huanyuanapp, as soon as possible.
Just as Chi Jingyuan and Sunny were following the waiter up to the second floor, preparing to go up to the third floor, a woman's voice suddenly called out to him from not far away.
"May I ask..."
Chi Jingyuan turned back and saw a woman in her thirties, slightly plump, with a pretty face. She was dressed in professional attire and looked quite mature. At this moment, she was looking at Chi Jingyuan with surprise: "Perhaps... are you Chi Jingyuan xi who acted in 《Unborn》"
Although she used tentative and questioning phrasing, there was a certain firmness in her voice, clearly indicating she had figured it out.
“……”
Looking at the young lady before him, who might be his fan or a fan of the drama "Unproduced," Park Ji-won thought for a moment and didn't deny it. He nodded and replied, "Yes, I am Park Ji-won. Anihaseyo."
He proactively lowered his mask, slightly bowed, and greeted her with a smile.
Seeing the nearby pool scene, whether it was the fan in front of him or the waiter ahead, their eyes lit up, greedily staring at Chi Jingyuan's face non-stop.
"I got so lucky! When I went outside to take a call, I just happened to glance over and thought it was you... mainly because the color of your hair peeking out from under your hat was really noticeable. This meal tonight was completely lucky."
Although she was smiling happily, she wasn't as crazy and flustered as ordinary student fans when they saw Park Ji-won. She appreciated the other party's pleasing appearance while her words were also well-organized.
"Hee hee, I'm lucky too."
Chi Jingyuan smiled and humbly said a sentence.
The other party was clearly a fan of a more mature and rational age. They didn't ask for a photo or an autograph, which made it quite easygoing for Ji Jingyuan. He couldn't help but chat a few words without deliberately distancing himself or being overly intimate; he kept the right measure.
"Mi ah ne, too happy to forget the time all at once. Jing Yuan xi is here with friends for a meal, right" Fan Nu Na suddenly remembered that she had wasted quite a bit of time. Her gaze swept over Sunny beside her but she didn't have much interest in chatting. She apologized a little awkwardly: "Then I won't bother Jing Yuan xi anymore. Fight g, I will cheer you on."
"Hello, Konrad."
After expressing gratitude, the other party didn't cling on and left proactively. Ji Jingyuan and Sunny looked at each other, nudged their mouths, and without lingering, went upstairs to the third floor.
The area on the third floor was much smaller, divided into several private rooms of different sizes. Under the guidance of a waiter, Chi Jingyuan and his companion walked straight into one on the left. Before even entering, they heard Taeyeon's familiar voice from inside.
"Want to watch a movie What kind of movie Are there any good movies out lately"
"I heard that 'The Tale of Xu San Guan Selling Blood' is quite good, but it seems to have been released in January and is no longer playing... There's also '20,' which will be released soon, starring Kim Woo Bin and Lee Jun Ho, that should be decent too... Jingyuan's here!"
As soon as Ji-yeong and the other person entered the private room, it immediately became lively. He swept his eyes around and recognized everyone inside: Taeyeon Kim, Hwayoung Hwang, and Hee Chul Kim.
Just these three people feels a bit small, he thought Kim Kihwan was also here.
"Jingyuan, come here quickly!"
"Aiya, our two busy bees are finally here. Made the older siblings wait for so long," Kim Heechul immediately stood up as soon as he saw the two of them enter, laughing and joking as he walked over to pat Ji Sung's shoulder, then opened his arms towards Sunny like he was about to hug her. Sunny, with her mask removed, didn't even look at him and just walked past him, completely ignoring him as she sat down next to Hwang Miyoung.
Ji Jingyuan couldn't hold back a smile and said, "Jin Xiche also didn't mind, smiling and beckoning to the waiter that they could serve the dishes. Then he closed the door and pulled Ji Jingyuan to sit opposite the three sisters."
“Hey, wasn't it supposed to end at 10 It's past eleven now! Do you even care about my birthday” Jin Tae-yeon started to look happy when she saw the two of them, then quickly put on a pouty face, crossed her arms and glared at them with fake annoyance.
As the protagonist of this meal, another year older today, Kim Taeyeon is dressed very beautifully. Her long black hair is slightly curled and hangs down to her chest from both sides of her neck. A white fluffy snowflake coat on top with a same-colored inner shirt looks very graceful. Even though it's early March, she's already wearing a pink wrap skirt that stops just above the knee. She's wearing a pair of white round-toe high heels and is crossing her legs with her arms folded across her chest, swinging her right leg back and forth.
Just by looking at her outfit, one would think she had just finished recording a show. She was delicate yet graceful, with a touch of dignified charm, very much the embodiment of a mature woman.
After all, it's from the 80s and 90s.
"Of course not, as for Jingyuan, I don't know."
Sunny, as if afraid that Kim Taeyeon would be angry, casually replied and then started observing the side dishes on the table with a gun, her languid manner seemed to be deliberately provoking her, which made Ji-won chuckle.
"Ani, I went back to change clothes just now and it took me a little while." Chi Jingyuan simply explained with a smile, shifting the topic: "What were you two talking about just now Are you going to watch a movie"
Tiffany gave Sunny a withering glance, but Kim Taeyeon feigned indifference. After all, she wasn't truly angry, and soon she smiled and nodded. "Earlier Pani suggested we watch a movie together when we have free time. I said I wanted to see a horror film,"
“Yi~,” Huang Meiying frowned and fanned herself, as if dispelling some strange smell: “If you want to watch a horror movie, go ahead yourself. I just checked and there aren't any good movies on the peninsula lately, the themes are pretty boring. I want to watch a Hollywood blockbuster.”
"Tsk, if an outsider heard that, you're dead." Taeyeon rolled her eyes and reminded him with a slight frown, then turned to Ji-yeong: "Ji-yeong, maybe we could find some time this week to go see a movie together"
“...." Chi Jingyuan raised his eyes and thought about his recent schedule for a moment, then shrugged. "Of course, there's no problem if I have time, but Nuo... I'm so busy lately... And I just checked yesterday, there aren't any movies recently released that interest me"
Several pairs of eyes glanced over at her from nearby when she asked, “What do you want to see”
"What I'm more interested in is an anime film that just premiered in Japan but hasn't been introduced here in the peninsula yet, Doraemon: Nobita's Cosmic Hero Record."
Feeling a few pairs of eyes on him, Chi Jingyuan raised his interest and greeted them with a smile. He confidently recommended: "I saw the trailer introduction, it's definitely good. This theatrical version mainly focuses on..."
"An animated film…"
“Haha, Jingyuan, your hobby is quite a contrast, it’s really interesting.” Hearing this, several of the sisters from the animation show seemed to express some disapproval. Kim Heechul, on the other hand, burst into laughter and patted him on the shoulder. He wasn't interested in his recommendation at all, but he found his hobby quite amusing.
As soon as Ji Jingyuan saw the expressions on their faces, he knew they were completely uninterested. His enthusiasm instantly dropped, and he shook his head, sighing inwardly.
He has no vision.
That group of exo members were the same. Before, when Ji-sung mentioned wanting to watch a newly released animated film, no one responded and it was ignored. A few people just turned their heads and watched a newly released thriller instead.
Chi Jingyuan felt a bit helpless, wondering when someone in his friend circle who shared similar hobbies had appeared.
At this moment, the door to the private room was knocked on. Huang Meiying responded with a voice and the door swung open. Several waiters pushed a trolley in, setting up the grill and all the dishes. After asking if they needed help grilling and receiving a refusal, they politely retreated, closing the door behind them.
"Oh, finally I can eat! I'm starved." Huang Meiying scanned the fresh and bright dishes, stretched a lazy waist, and patted her hands contentedly.
"Wait a minute, let's sing Happy Birthday first!" Kim Heechul saw Hwang Mi-young about to make a move, so he quickly interrupted her. He took out a cake that was already prepared with candles from beside him, lit the candles with a lighter, and then winked at Jiyoung.
Pool Kyung-won took the cake with a knowing smile, stood up and held it in front of Kim Tae-yeon. A few people beside him also clapped and sang a birthday song. Even Sunny, who had seemed at odds with Tae-yeon just moments ago, was smiling and clapping her hands excitedly.
"Happy birthday, Khamitda!"
"Happy Birthday, Hamida!"
The voices of several people quickly filled the entire room. Kim Taeyeon smiled very happily, her gaze lingering on each person's face for a second. The cheerful mood was a little out of control and she let out a burst of unrestrained "hoho" laughter, then quickly covered her mouth with her hand, laughing so hard that she lowered her head and trembled several times.
"I'm going to blow!"
After waiting a few seconds, Kim Taeyeon raised her head and made an announcement, then unleashed the lung capacity of a main vocalist, puffing out her cheeks and blowing out all the candles in an instant. At the same time, several friends nearby cheered and shouted, making the scene very lively and warm.
The cake wasn't really anyone's favorite, it was just symbolic. After blowing out the candles, Chi Jingyuan put it aside and clapped with a few others.
"Eat first, and we can chat while we eat," the protagonist, Kim Tae-yeon, said with a wave of her hand. A few people put on the small aprons provided by the restaurant and started eating.
"Want to have a drink"
"Forget it, I drove here."
"Driving's no good... alright, then forget it."
After a brief chat, as the youngest among the friends present, Ki Jingyuan naturally took up the tongs and scissors to start grilling and slicing meat, serving several of the older women.
Although it should usually be handled by a waiter, since everyone involved are artists and their conversation tends to be private, having an outsider present would be inappropriate. So, the youngest member, Ji-sung from Kep1er, will have to take over the task instead.
He didn't think it was a big deal. During EXO dinner gatherings and BBQs, although most of the time Sehun would be in charge, he occasionally saw Sehun getting overwhelmed and would lend a hand. After all, it was part of his duty as the maknae.
The more I think about it, the angrier I get.
After a few words, she took a bite of barbecue. Before she could even swallow it, she was chewing on it when Kim Taeyeon remembered something and frowned. Her face, which had just been full of joy from blowing out the candles, changed quickly. She stared sharply at Ji-sung: "You didn't go out to play with me last time in Xia Country, and you didn't go to the movies this time either. Today that junior isn't here either, who are you performing for"
"I didn't say I wouldn't go..." Chi Jingyuan blinked innocently, but before he could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by the excited few beside him.
"Has Jingyuan been dating anyone from the company recently"
"Which junior Which junior"
Sunny, who was happily eating a piece of grilled meat that Ji-sung just handed her, paused in surprise. She and Kim Hee Chul joined the gossip circle together, looking at Kim Taeyeon with interest.
Huang Meiying was here last time too, so I wasn't curious at all. I just ate barbecue and watched the commotion with a smile.
All of us here are close relatives, so there’s no need to worry about anyone spilling the beans. Kim Tae-yeon first exchanged a glance with Ji-sung, then flipped the meat in the pan while subtly pointing her mouth: “It's Irene, the leader of Red Velvet, and Seulgi. You know, those famous female trainees from before.”
“Really Isn't Red Velvet just debuted Half a year already” Sunny’s eyes widened, looking around as if she had misheard.
"Irene And Jingyuan" Kim Heechul was also a little surprised.
"When the Golden Disc Awards ended backstage last time, I felt that something was off about these two. I'm not sure if they're actually dating, but it definitely wasn't a normal relationship."
"Taeyeon Jin had a grilled meat skewer, before holding it up to her mouth and feeding herself she looked at Ji-won, very firmly said: 'At that time the two of them were there whispering in each other's ears laughing, the intimacy was definitely not that of ordinary friends, plus later when we called Ji-won out, her eyes...' tsk tsk..."
Recalling the scene, Kim Taeyeon even vividly mimicked IU's expression and gaze, causing Hwang Me-young to burst into laughter and applaud enthusiastically as the mood maker, while Park Ji-won simply sighed and shook his head.
A few years ago, when he first debuted, this sister came to his dressing room looking for his contact information. At the time, it was clear she had an ulterior motive. 池景源 could see right through it, but whether her intention was a genuine relationship or to flirt with younger actors, he couldn't tell. After exchanging contact information, sometimes this sister would send photos or messages that were beyond what an ordinary friend would share.
However, as time passed, their way of interacting also changed as they got to know each other better and discovered that they were surprisingly compatible. The initial ambiguity gradually faded away, leaving behind a purer friendship, even akin to siblings. At the same time, their feelings for each other seemed more genuine than before.
It's possible that remembering her own past attempts at being proactive which ended in failure made Kim Taeyeon a little resentful. When she brought up Park Soo-hyun, who was clearly showing some ambiguous feelings towards Ji Chang-wook, her tone somehow took on a slightly unpleasant edge.
But she quickly adjusted, finishing the barbecue in her mouth before adding, "Speaking of which, I just saw that child earlier. This afternoon, Red Velvet was filming a comeback pre-release promotional video, and the company asked me to make a cameo appearance. The kids even brought me a birthday cake."
"Really You and Irene" Sunny looked at Ji-won, raising an eyebrow with curiosity. The others all turned their gazes to him as well.
"As for dating, there's nothing going on." Ji Jingyuan wasn't hiding anything about his privacy. He paused halfway through his sentence, sensing that the few people beside him seemed a little disappointed because they hadn't heard the gossip or answer they were hoping for. He chuckled and added, "Other aspects There are a few things..."
