Chapter Forty-Seven Can You Call Me Together

ternet was flooded with trending topics related to #EXOAward the next morning.It's the same on SNS, both EXO and SHINee official accounts uploaded yesterday's photos, including stage captures, award..."Huh Outrageous thunder Are you saying I roar when I laugh"

Jeong Eun Ji immediately heard that the other person was sarcastically mocking her. She didn't hesitate to smack Ji Chang Wook hard, and then couldn't help but grin widely herself. She then turned to her members and asked, "Does it look like that"

"You're too much, unnie. I feel like you're going to eat us after that roar."

"Haha...

"

Apart from his ex-girlfriend, Sun Naeun, Apk is probably the most familiar with this girl group among all the groups. He knows and has contact information for all the members. When they chat privately, the atmosphere is always great, not to mention that several members have a good feeling towards him.

“Then we'll be off. Good luck getting one today, Fight on!”

"Here you go, thanks."

Closing the door, Ji-won and Choi Seol-ri led the VJ to several other waiting rooms. They interviewed several groups of artists, including the two MCs' own combinations EXO and f(x), as well as solo singers Ailee, Brown Eyed Girls, BEAST, AOA, INFINITE, and Girl's Day.

When interviewing Girls' Day, Ji-won felt that Kim A-jung was looking at him differently.

Before this, when we only chatted through our phones, we would flirt occasionally. When we saw each other in person, things were still pretty normal. But this time, the way they looked at me was bolder than before, much more straightforward.

August is a period when many Korean artists make a comeback, with major artists or groups returning almost every week. It is a highly competitive time.

"It seems like you have really good social skills, especially with Apk and girsday. You two seem very close when you talk."

After finishing their interview task, Chi Jingyuan and Cui Xueli came to an empty waiting room to go over the script. Seeing that the staff members were relatively far away, Cui Xueli took the initiative to start a conversation.

Chi Jingyuan and Cui Xueli had met a few times before at the company and award ceremonies, but they hadn't seen each other much in private and weren't familiar.

When I was doing MC work just now, I also politely greeted and exchanged a few pleasantries. I didn't really say much in private.

"Ah-ni, senior, actually my social circle is quite narrow, and there are few close relatives in it. Apk Zheng Eunji is the only one I'm very close friends with. Girls' Day isn't quite there yet, we only participated in a variety show together before, and I only know two members from inside. "

Chi Jingyuan shook his head, smiling and answering, his tone somewhat flat.

He hasn't changed into his performance outfit yet, with his silver-grey mid-length hair. He's wearing a black and white striped t-shirt under a dark jacket.

Overall, it looks relaxed and youthful. Coupled with Chi Jingyuan's own temperament, it is easy to feel close to him.

It's just that his tone and expression were a bit aloof, far from the intimacy he had with Jung Eun Ji before.

"To have a few close friends is already very good..."

"Choi Se-ri sighed, as if she felt something. She stared at Ji-yeong approaching and smiled faintly: "You don't seem to like me very much."

She was wearing a blue dress with red patterns that hugged her figure, showing off her curves. Her short hair, dyed a bright orange, was tied up in a small ponytail at the back of her head, giving her a playful look.

Cui Xueli was already tall, and she wore high heels at the time. Standing there, she wasn't much shorter than Ji Jingyuan.

“How is that possible FX is our senior group, and Seolhyun sunbae is a respected senior from the same company.”

Chi Jingyuan looked at Shirley and replied with a smile.

"Cut it... You're just patronizing someone That sounds so insincere. Don't you have something against me"

Cui Xueli glanced at the staff working nearby. They were quite far away and no longer paying attention here.

After that, she actually came straight over and leaned in as if she wanted to press her body against mine.

Shelly expected the other person to step back out of politeness or shyness, but unexpectedly, Ji Jingyuan stood still, blinked twice, and smiled at her.

Choi Seol-ri paused for a moment, but she didn't back down. Instead, she got close to Ji-yeong and pressed against him, bringing their faces very close together. They were so close that they could feel each other's breath: "Whether it's your reaction or your tone, you're being so indifferent. Tell me, do you have something against me"

"Ani, senior misunderstood. It's because I'm not very familiar yet, so it's like this. I treat all unfamiliar people this way."

Ji Jingyuan looked down at Cui Xueli's eyes and lips, so close he could see the tiny mole on her left cheek.

However, he didn't offer much else but shrugged his shoulders and offered a brief explanation.

He wasn't lying. He was like this with everyone he didn't know well, not just close friends. He didn't have any other thoughts about Choi Seol-ri, and naturally, he wouldn't be particularly enthusiastic.

"Humph..."

Choi Se-ri let out a soft hum and returned to her original position, staring at him for a moment before saying, “Is that so... I heard you get along very well with several 1994-born people from the company, and you often get together to eat. You look at me like this, it's not because you dislike me… it's just because you're not familiar with me, right”

"Inside, senior."

"Don't call me senior… Is that familiar now"

"Not yet."

"You..."

"Yuan and Suli, let's get started!"

Choi Soo-ryeol gritted her teeth, just as she was about to say something, a staff member called out that it was time to begin recording.

"Here it comes."

Chi Jingyuan responded with a sound, tidied up his clothes and took the script and microphone to prepare to walk over.

At this moment, Cui Xueli from behind suddenly spoke up and asked, “I’m also from 1994… At your next gathering… could you invite me”

Her voice was a little low, quite different from the spirited energy she had when she questioned Ji Jingyuan closely just moments ago.

Her tone sounded casual, but Ji Jingyuan sensed a faint melancholy in it.

He turned and looked over, Choi Se-ri averted her gaze from his, her eyes looking nonchalantly at the empty space beside her.

Chi Jingyuan suddenly laughed, his eyes sparkling as he looked at the other person.

"Well, I am honored."

This week's EXO debut stage wasn't live streamed, but was pre-recorded. For the sake of the stage effect, the company specially invested resources to set up a special backdrop.

When it came time to record, Ji Jingyuan changed into today's stage outfit—a gray student suit—and along with his fellow members, began performing in front of the camera against a prepped backdrop.

This stage was designed to give the audience the freshest and most natural feeling, imitating the one-shot style of their music video.

Since we had already announced it, all the fans sitting down below at this moment are here for EXO. The moment they stepped onto the stage, the screams from the audience never stopped.

Ji Jingyuan glanced at the side of the stage and found several groups of artists who had walked out from backstage at some point. They were standing there in small groups, looking very interested at EXO on stage. It looked like they were going to watch their recording the whole time.
