Chapter 1371 You're living with him?
JYP's manager was terrified by Ji Kyung-won's sudden change in attitude and the series of accusations and reprimands. Within just two minutes, sweat was pouring down his forehead... even faster than when Sana Minatozaki was practicing her stage performance.
His mind went completely blank for a moment.
Before, Chi Jingyuan was always very friendly, always greeting people with a smile. He seemed like a very polite and gentle person. How did he suddenly change like this?
And although it happened very suddenly, the change in his demeanor was extremely natural, as if... this was how he was supposed to be.
After finally coming to his senses, the manager opened his mouth to try to say something and explain, but Chi Jingyuan had no intention of communicating with him at all. After finishing his sentence, he turned around, grabbed his clothes, and walked straight out of the practice room without any hesitation.
The entire practice room suddenly became completely quiet, with only the whirring of warm air from the air conditioner vents remaining.
The SM assistants nearby also paused briefly, seemingly terrified by Ji Kyung-won's sudden outburst. A minute later, one of the assistants glanced in the direction Ji Kyung-won had left before approaching, attempting to smooth things over for the company's pillar who had stormed off.
"..."
JYP's manager forced a smile, said a few words, and showed no intention of staying any longer. He called out twice to Sana Minatozaki, who was standing blankly to the side, seemingly lost in thought: "Let's go first."
Sana Minatozaki snapped out of her daze, glanced in the direction of the door, nodded, and followed her manager away... Even so, she didn't forget to bow and say goodbye to the SM assistants before leaving, which made the assistants click their tongues in amazement.
"What did Jingyuanxi just say to you?"
As the manager and Sana Minatozaki walked out of the practice room, the manager couldn't help but ask, "Just before Chi Jingyuan suddenly lost his temper, he had said a few words to Sana Minatozaki. It's hard for the manager not to think the worst."
"They didn't say anything...they just asked about my health."
Without hesitation, Minatozaki Sana replied without even thinking, "It's probably because I was a little dizzy and lost my balance during practice just now, and Jingyuan oppa helped me up..."
Her conversation with Chi Jingyuan just now wasn't exactly pleasant, so of course she couldn't tell her manager the truth.
"Are you asking about your health? Are you and Jingyuanxi on good terms...?"
Hearing her words, the agent couldn't help but ask again, but before he could finish speaking, he remembered something, stopped speaking, nodded, and answered himself: "Oh right, we are indeed quite familiar."
If that's the case, then it seems there's no problem.
"..."
The two were quiet throughout the elevator ride downstairs. The manager hadn't dared to utter a single word of rebuttal when Chi Jingyuan had scolded her earlier, but now she had a stern face and seemed to be in a bad mood, making the atmosphere somewhat awkward.
Sana Minatosaki put her oversized down jacket back on, along with the hood, and huddled inside, looking quite round.
Only after stepping out of the elevator did Sana Minatozaki observe his expression and tentatively ask, "Oppa, so what should we do now..."
"Um……"
The manager hesitated for a couple of seconds before speaking directly, "It's definitely impossible to continue practicing the collaboration stage now... but I see that your stage performance is already quite polished, so there's really no need to practice anymore..."
"Let's go to the TV station first. The group is probably recording a program right now. I'll call Shangmin to confirm... wait a minute."
Without a second thought, he was about to send Minatozaki Sana to the Twice group to continue their schedule as originally planned, but he suddenly stopped at the end of his sentence.
Because he remembered what Chi Jingyuan had just said.
Things like "go back and get some rest, don't make any plans" were just casual remarks, and we don't know if they were just said offhand, but who can guarantee that?
He... was also a little unsure.
As a member of Twice's management team, he was certainly aware of Ji Kyung-won's importance, but it was ultimately the company's arrangement...
"I'll make a call." After hesitating for a few seconds, the manager couldn't really ignore what Jing Yuanxi had said, so he took out his phone, walked to the side, and made a call.
Watching her manager walk to the side, Sana Minatozaki, who was standing still, looked up and glanced around with a slightly blank expression. The first floor of the SM building was still as luxurious as ever, with LED lights flowing on the off-white marble floor, which was so clean that it reflected her somewhat lonely figure.
Sana Minatozaki was also a little confused. She didn't know how things had developed to this point. Was it all because of the few words she had just said?
But that shouldn't be the case. Based on her understanding of him from the previous times, shouldn't he have shown that sneer, made a few sarcastic remarks without caring about what she said or her reaction?
How could you actually take it seriously?
Trying to recall what had just happened and find some answers, but to no avail. In addition, his head was getting more and more dizzy from making the move, and he felt a little lost for a moment.
Two minutes passed in this dazed state before the manager returned, still holding her phone, and met Minatozaki Sana's gaze with a somewhat complicated expression:
"Well, let's go back first."
The agent didn't repeat the meaning of the phone call. While leading the way, he briefly but somewhat hesitantly gave the arrangements: "Go back and rest well for two days. You don't need to participate in any activities until your flight to Tokyo tomorrow night."
As he spoke, he seemed to feel that what he said was not quite right, as if it lacked some care for his artists, so he added somewhat awkwardly, "The company also feels that Sana, you have been working too hard lately. You do need some rest now that you are sick. Take a couple of days off and see if you feel better. Um... do you still have enough medicine? Should you go see a doctor again before you go back?"
The rest time she had been longing for and the rare care she received suddenly arrived, but Sana Minatosaki didn't feel very happy after hearing it; instead, she felt like laughing.
"boom."
With the door closed, shutting out the outside sounds and air, the quiet and deserted atmosphere inside the van made one feel as if they had entered another world.
Knowing that her destination was the dormitory, where she could finally relax and sleep soundly without having to force herself to endure her exhaustion, she suddenly felt much better and more energetic.
The manager in the driver's seat was still expressing the company's concern, but while Sana Minato occasionally responded, she was staring at the dark screen of her phone, her mind passively, mechanically, and reflexively replaying the scene of her conversation with Ji Jingyuan.
…………
"...It's nothing."
"Okay, I'll talk to you next time."
Meanwhile, Ji Kyung-won, who had just left the practice room and was sitting on the sofa in the music room, hung up the phone call that Park Jin-young had just made. His tone was no longer as angry as before, and seemed very calm.
Originally, JYP valued this collaboration stage quite a bit, seeing it as a good opportunity to expand their influence and generate buzz, especially since it was with Ji Kyung-won. Now that they heard something had suddenly gone wrong, Park Jin-young naturally had to call immediately to inquire about the situation.
However, Ji Kyung-won didn't say anything, but he did make a slightly sarcastic comment about JYP treating their idols like cattle and horses, sending them to practice collaboration stages even when they had such a high fever.
Park Jin-young was actually a little confused about Ji Kyung-won's intentions. In his opinion, there was nothing to be angry about... However, he took the initiative to apologize on the phone, saying that he would do as he was told, make sure that Minatozaki Sana got a good rest, and that it would definitely not affect the collaboration stage on the 29th.
Chi Jingyuan didn't offer any further advice. He exchanged a few pleasantries and then hung up the phone. Afterward, he stared blankly at the black screen of the monitor that hadn't been turned on yet, lost in thought for a moment.
So what if she's sick? JYP didn't let her rest, and she came on her own. She's acting all focused on her work. What's it to him?
For some reason, while I was in the practice room just now, I kept hearing Sana Minatozaki blowing her nose. Seeing her swaying and dizzy from being sick, yet still trying her best to concentrate on her work and practice, I couldn't help but feel a surge of irritation.
Not only was Park Jin-young confused about his meaning, but even Ji Kyung-won felt somewhat bewildered by his sudden outburst of emotions.
but……
Even though they themselves couldn't quite understand it, the incident had indeed happened, and Ji Kyung-won had indeed lost his temper. As for Minatozaki Sana... according to Park Jin-young, she had indeed gone back to rest properly and no longer needed to wear that ridiculous oversized down jacket and force herself to stagger along with the members on their schedules.
That counts as helping her out.
Thinking back to his earlier conversation with Jung Eun-ji, Ji Kyung-won couldn't help but feel a little uneasy:
Is this an apology?
But soon, he pursed his lips slightly and shook his head.
Of course not.
Moreover, he's the one who won't apologize to her.
Since the deed had already happened, Chi Jingyuan deliberately stopped thinking about it and suppressed his emotions.
But after calming down, he realized that he seemed to have encountered a problem as well... He had originally planned to spend the afternoon practicing the collaboration stage with Sana Minatozaki.
However, the practice was canceled less than half an hour after it started, and Sana Minato went back to rest. It seemed that he had nothing to do for the time being.
What should we do now?
Chi Jingyuan leaned back on the sofa, staring blankly at the chandelier above his head.
Or... should we go back to sleep too?
…………
Thanks to Sana Minatozaki, Ji Jingyuan, who had nothing to do yesterday, actually went home to catch up on sleep.
It has to be said that for idols, after a period of hectic schedules that leaves them dizzy and exhausted, a good night's sleep and a good rest can feel like a rebirth, even if they are still a bit groggy when they wake up.
When Chi Jingyuan woke up this morning, he even had the rare mood to make himself a cup of hot milk. While enjoying the milk, he couldn't help but think of Minatozaki Sana, wondering if she was feeling any better.
The next day at noon, Ji Kyung-won, along with his pre-packed luggage, his manager, and several assistants, boarded a flight directly to Tokyo.
On the same day as him, Twice, who were also going to participate in the Tokyo MAMA, also flew to Tokyo, but a little later than Ji Kyung-won, arriving at their destination close to dusk.
The members checked into the hotel booked by the organizers with the team, and after putting down their luggage, they were given a short break.
Although there was no holiday, there was a period of free time. Some members, like Mina from Japan, had their parents and family members come to the hotel to visit them.
Even some who aren't from Japan are the same... for example, Chou Tzu-yu.
"Mommy~"
Chou Tzu-yu, who had already left the room for the third time, looked around at the door for a while before finally seeing her family walking over from the elevator.
She was immediately taken aback and rushed over to greet her, taking her mother's hand affectionately, her face beaming with an uncontrollable smile.
When Twice participated in the Tokyo MAMA, Tzuyu's mother and cousin happened to be free, so they flew over from Taiwan to visit her while they were sightseeing in Tokyo.
"You look so beautiful today!" Zhou's mother smiled and patted her hand, gently brushing her nose with her fingertips as she looked at Zhou Ziyu's face with affection.
Today's flight to Tokyo is a public event, and there's an "airport fashion" routine when entering the airport, so Chou Tzu-yu is dressed very beautifully today. She's still dressed like she's on a runway at the airport, wearing a fitted long trench coat, with wavy curls flowing down her cheeks and a few stray strands of hair gently swaying in front of her forehead.
"Hehe." Chou Tzu-yu's eyes narrowed into slits with laughter.
Although Zhou's mother often visits Zhou Tzuyu in Seoul, it was more than two months ago. When they met again, both mother and daughter seemed very happy.
Chou Tzu-yu linked arms with her mother as they walked towards the room, her smile never fading. She busied herself pouring water for them and pushing the fruit plate on the table over before sitting down next to her mother, softly complaining:
"Why is it so slow?"
They called to say they were on their way, but it took almost two hours for them to arrive.
"There was a constant traffic jam on the road."
My cousin explained somewhat helplessly, "Our hotel is quite far from here."
"what?"
Zhou Ziyu was a little surprised when she heard this, and looked at her mother in confusion, asking, "Mommy, didn't you book a hotel nearby?"
"This MAMA seems to be really popular. There are a lot of foreign people here."
When Zhou's mother heard this, she was also somewhat helpless: "We booked a little late, and there are no suitable hotels left around the venue."
She helped Tzuyu tidy up her bangs: "Then we can only buy places a little further away, but if we don't take the subway, the traffic is often congested and it's not very convenient."
"Mommy, you should have told me sooner! We could have just stayed at our hotel." Chou Tzu-yu immediately sat up straight, her eyes sparkling.
The hotel where Twice stayed was booked by the MAMA organizers. It was very close to the venue for the event, less than 20 minutes away. Most of the artists stayed at this hotel.
“Tzuyu, your hotel is already fully booked.” Upon hearing this, her cousin immediately replied, “They say many celebrities are staying here.”
"That's it."
Upon hearing this, Chou Tzu-yu felt somewhat troubled.
Her lips drooped, and her fingers unconsciously fiddled with the cuffs of her sweatshirt. It wasn't that she found it troublesome, but the thought of her mother and cousin having to travel back and forth and being stuck in traffic for so long made her feel a little uncomfortable.
"Actually... Mommy..."
After a few seconds of silence, she seemed to have thought of something and suddenly raised her head. A hint of hesitation flashed in her eyes, but she still said softly, "I happen to have a place to stay nearby... um, you can stay there for a while."
"what?"
Upon hearing this, Zhou's mother's eyes widened in surprise as she looked at her: "You bought a house in Tokyo? Where did you get the money?"
"No~" Chou Tzu-yu quickly waved her hand, her cheeks slightly flushed, and hurriedly organized her words to explain: "It's not my house... It's, he told me that I can stay there if I need to."
"Him? Is it Jingyuan?"
But Zhou's mother was even more surprised when she heard this, and she even stood up with disbelief on her face.
Zhou's mother's gaze sharpened instantly, but remembering that her cousin was still nearby, she quickly suppressed her shock, leaned close to her daughter's ear, and whispered, her warm breath brushing against Zhou Ziyu's earlobe:
"You're living with him?"
