Jingyuan got up and walked to the window, squinting at the outside world, lost in thought. " 。I've lost count how many times it's happened. Ever since he was ten years old, he would have dreams about...Ji Jingyuan turned his head and glanced over. He saw Zheng Xiujing standing not far from him, holding a phone in her hand and biting her lip. Her face didn't look too good as she watched his back.
Just as he was about to greet her, Jung So-jung noticed his gaze and pouted before turning away directly. She flicked her hair, leaving a back view for Ji Kyeongwon.
"Well..."
Chi Jingyuan watched her leave, his figure fading into the distance. He shook his head and chuckled softly after a long moment, didn't say much, quickly walked to the car, and drove away from the film set parking lot.
"Jingyuan, want to eat dinner first"
While driving, Park in-Hyeon asked a question.
"Bro, do you have any other plans these two nights"
After thinking for a moment, Chi Jingyuan asked.
You don't have to go to any group activities these two days, and there's nothing planned for the evening. You can just go back to your dorm to rest. Your company is already waiting for you to finish filming. After you wrap up, you'll definitely be busy.
Pak Jae-hyun shook his head gently and explained simply.
"Let's find a place to eat first. After dinner, I'll go back and get some sleep early. I haven't been resting well lately."
"Okay."
After a brief conversation, they confirmed their destination. Ji Jingyuan black-driving diagonally across the window seat, propped his head up with one hand on the car door armrest, watching the constantly flashing street scenes outside, his mind racing.
Zheng Xiujing's unusual behavior today, he saw it very clearly. He also knew the other person's thoughts very well.
It's just about time to wrap up filming. The happy times spent together on set are coming to an end, and she can't help but feel a bit sad and reluctant.
And after launching the attack from LA, it had been two or three months and there were no obvious breakthroughs. Especially since tomorrow was the last day of filming and everyone was going to separate, Ji Kyeong-won still hadn't shown anything, which made Jung So-jung feel a bit dissatisfied, even angry.
But Jung So-jung couldn't say anything else either. Because in her heart, Park Ji-won had always been someone with a girlfriend. Even though they were together on the set, she didn't notice anything out of the ordinary and didn't know who the other person was.
But this was something her older sister had seen with her own eyes and told him, so there was definitely no mistake.
This feeling of contradiction made her rather abnormal these past few days, and the closer she got to the wrap date, the more irritated and anxious she felt.
Chi Jingyuan knew what the other person was thinking. Seeing this girl's condition these past few days, Chi Jingyuan, who had originally been calm and composed like a fisherman on Diaoyu Island, inexplicably felt his mood sour.
After the two of them found a restaurant to eat at, it was almost nine o'clock. Park Jae-hyun drove his car to an alley near the EXO dorm.
The car stopped in a dimly lit alleyway, but Chi Jingyuan didn't get out right away. He leaned back in his seat, staring at the ceiling of the car, lost in thought.
Park in-Hyun didn't ask anything. He just sat quietly in the driver's seat, not saying a word.
Faded shadows lay on the car seat, and the yellowish light filtering through the window cast upon his face, reflecting a blackness and depth in his eyes.
"Oh."
After a while, Chi Jingyuan came to his senses and let out a soft sigh.
After that, he looked at his reflection in the car window. For a long time, he suddenly smiled helplessly and shook his head gently. Then, he took out his phone and started flipping through his contacts.
He was too lazy to fish anymore, and he was going to call Jung Soo-jeong instead.
Her finger slid up and down the screen, finding Jung Soo-jeong's name. Just as she was about to press call, the screen suddenly went black and a ringing sound filled her ears. Someone was calling.
He glanced at the caller ID, froze for a moment, then broke into a smile.
It's really a coincidence, it's Jung So-jung calling.
He paused for two seconds and then answered.
But after the call was connected, neither party spoke, only the sound of each other's breathing could be heard.
"Here we go again." Chi Jingyuan spoke first.
"Do you have any appointments tonight" Jeong Se-jeong didn't even say hello before asking.
"No."
"Are you free now I want to see you." Her voice sounded a little cold, but when he heard it, Ji Jingyuan imagined Zheng Xiujing on the other end of the phone trying hard to keep her voice and tone even.
"Sounds good, where" Chi Jingyuan didn't decline and immediately agreed.
It's still early, so it's not very convenient to meet outside. Find a place for yourself.
"Where can I find a place"
"Well, how come a rich playboy like you lives in such a big mansion in LA but doesn't even own property in Seoul" The other person's tone sounded aggressive.
"OK, I'll send you the address later."
He didn't say goodbye, he just hung up the phone.
"Brother, I'm not going back yet. Let's go to that apartment complex on Cheongdam-ro..."
Meanwhile, Ji-yeong told Park Jae-hyun the address and sent it to Jung Soo-jung.
"Good."
Park Jae-hyun nodded and didn't ask why, he just started the car and drove in that direction.
…………
Standing by the floor-to-ceiling windows of his luxurious apartment high above, Chi Jingyuan had only been looking at the pool for less than half a minute before he felt a wave of dizziness. He hastily pulled the curtains shut and walked back into the room.
This apartment is the closest to both their company and dormitory among all their properties in Seoul, but it wasn't his choice. If he were buying it himself, he definitely wouldn't choose such a high floor.
Ji Jingyuan pulled the curtains and walked to the living room, sitting on the sofa. He had just opened the door lock through a video call, and Zheng Xiujing was estimated to be arriving soon.
As expected, after no more than two minutes, the doorbell rang. Chi Jingyuan walked over and opened the door.
The moment the door swung open, Jung Seo-jung stood there looking as fresh and lively as ever. But upon seeing Ji-gyoung, instead of smiling, she glared at him, pushed him aside, and walked in by herself.
"As expected of a young master, after debuting for over a year, he can already live in such a luxurious apartment. I've been debuting for so many years and still haven't bought my own property."
After she walked in, she cast a glance around the surroundings and said sarcastically.
Although her tone and attitude were bad, and she seemed reluctant to meet Ji Jingyuan, it was obvious that she didn't mean it.
Because Zheng Xiu-jing was clearly dressed up this time, she wore a beige fitted knitted sweater on top and a blue open-collar wool coat outside.
The canvas shoes, overall giving off a strong collegiate style, are fresh and sweet.
She still had a light-colored rabbit hairband on her head, adding another touch of cuteness to her appearance.
After closing the gate, Ji Jingyuan followed Zheng Xiujing, tilting his head and smiling at her figure without speaking.
"Why aren't you speaking"
Jung So-jeong didn't hear a response and turned her head, frowning and staring at Jiyeong.
"Because you're right about everything, I don't know how to argue..."
Chi Jingyuan shrugged, looking speechless. Then he stared into her eyes and continued, "And besides, you look really beautiful right now. I was just stunned by you, my head's a bit messed up."
He looked sincerely into the other person's eyes and praised them from the bottom of his heart.
"
Cut...
"
Under their gaze, Jeong So-jeong was the first to retreat. She turned her head away with a disdainful snort, and her movements became much more nimble. It seemed that because the heating was set rather high, she had taken off her wool coat and placed it on the sofa.
Her inner camel-colored linen shirt was a fitted style, showing her figure completely. While not necessarily curvaceous, it had a slender and healthy sense of vitality.
The two sat on the sofa, very close to each other. The man looked at the woman, while she stared straight ahead at the closed television.
"Is there something important that you need to see me about this late"
Qi Jingyuan looked at her, asking knowingly.
"What are you putting in there Why are you looking for me if you don't know what you want"
Hearing this, Jung Se-ah came angry and glared fiercely back.
I have some guesses, but I'm not sure.
Qi Jingyuan pursed his lips, indicating that he was innocent.
"I don't believe you. I already understand your personality and behavior now, you can't fool me anymore."
Cheng Xiao pursed her lips and let out a scoff.
"Oh, senior. You've really changed from before. You've grown so much."
Chi Jingyuan looked like he had been caught, covering his head with his hand and letting out a sigh. Then he raised his eyes, thought for a moment, and said in a strange tone: "Actually, less than ten seconds before you called me, I was about to call you."
"What's up"
Hearing this, Jung So-jung turned her head to look at him, and for some reason, her heart felt much better all of a sudden.
“Inside, my hand was already on the phone when your call came in.”
Chi Jingyuan nodded slightly, then looked into the other person's pupils, his voice soft: "Senior, do you know why I called you"
"Who knows what that ghost is thinking…" Jeong Soo-jeong also knew in her heart but intentionally didn't say it, she just couldn't help but a smile appeared on the corner of her lips.
"Well, then..."
Ji Jingyuan let out a faint smile, exerted his right hand, and pulled Zheng Xiujing, who was sitting beside him, into his arms. After their eyes met for a second, he aimed his lips directly at hers and kissed her.
Zheng Xiujing didn't object at all, and the two hugged for a long time until her close-fitting sweater became disheveled, revealing a prominent one-word abs before they finally stopped.
"Did the seniors figure it out now"
The two stared at each other from an extremely close distance. Chi Jingyuan blinked and asked again.
She merely hummed softly, pushed him away with one hand, then straddled his lap and sat down. She let out a muffled cry before taking the initiative to kiss him.
"I don't know!"
