Chapter Eighty-Three: Reunited

s, was it really a beating"At this time, three plates of rice were brought up. The three picked up their utensils and chatted as they ate:“He was knocked out immediately, it wasn't that bad, the proce..."Are we dating now"

Jin Yaron languidly stretched, revealing her smooth neck. She picked up the water glass beside her and took a sip. Before Chi Jingyuan could speak, she continued to herself, "It shouldn't count, I don't feel that way, I guess you feel the same way too."

After finishing her drink, she placed the cup on the counter beside her. Wearing an oversized round-neck shirt that barely covered her thighs, she walked straight to the window and pulled open the curtains. Looking out from the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, her expression seemed quite content.

At this time, they were in a standalone villa in the Jiangnan District. Although it was far less luxurious than Chi Jingyuan's home in the Longshan District, it was still considered a very high-end property.

“Do you want to date”

Pool Jingyuan also sat up from the bed, looking at Jin Yaryong in front of the window. After thinking for a while, he asked.

"Annie, no."

Kim Yeong immediately shook his head, his eyes looking out the window as if lost in thought: "I've seen a lot of idol relationships. Most of them start because they find each other attractive and hit it off, then after a while, the passion fades and they lose contact. Whether they are popular or not, most end up this way. Even my senior from the same group is like that."

"If we were actually dating, with EXO being so popular now and your family background seeming great, while my group is in this state... the gap would be huge. The initial excitement wouldn't last, and we'd definitely break up at light speed, probably within two months."

"I think we're pretty good as we are, no need to change."

Jin Yajiong turned to face Chi Jingyuan, smiled, and gave him a wink.

”…………“

Qi Jingyuan nodded and smiled back at her, without saying a word.

Originally, he was indeed attracted to the other person's appearance and only engaged in ambiguous contact on his phone. He didn't invest much emotion.

But now, looking at the other person's face, he unconsciously felt a variety of other emotions.

Ji Jingyuan glanced at his watch, sat up quickly and started putting on his clothes. His vacation was over, he had to go back to the set this morning to resume filming. In a while, Park Bo-gum would come to pick him up.

When he was dressing, Kim Yae-jeong also came over and helped brush the hem of his clothes and turned up his collar.

In a short while, his phone vibrated. Ji Jingyuan knew it was Park Jae-hyun's message.

"I'm going to the set, it's still early. You can sleep for a while longer…"

Ji Jingyuan packed up his things, slung his backpack over his shoulder, said a couple of words of explanation, and hesitated for a moment as he opened the door. Then he turned back to look at Jin Yarong who was watching him and said: "By the way, if you encounter anything that's difficult to solve, remember to give me a call."

"How about it, bribe me Trying to trap Nunna"

Kim Yae-rong suddenly burst into laughter, tilting her head to look at him.

"Nuna, she's so pretty, I'm completely mesmerized."

Chi Jingyuan nodded slightly, looking rather embarrassed. He gave a shy smile.

"Pfft...."

Kim Yae-rong was amused by his expression. After laughing, he nodded at Ji Kyeong-won and waved his hand.

"Alright, let's go. See you next time."

…………

Today the crew gathered again and continued filming.

This time, the crew was much larger than in LA. In addition to the increase in on-site staff, all the actors who didn't have scenes in the first few episodes and didn't need to fly to LA had also joined the set. For a while, the entire set was crowded and lively.

By the time Chi Jingyuan arrived at the set, many people had already gathered. Several senior actors had even gotten there earlier than him. After he got out of the car, he hurriedly bowed and greeted everyone, smiling and chatting with some of the older actors.

Most people just laughed and responded, but there were also a few senior figures who completely ignored Ji Jingyuan, this new idol-actor. They didn't care about his background at all, their aura and attitude were very imposing.

Chi Jingyuan didn't mind, he wouldn't expect everyone to look highly upon him. As long as he could maintain his face and not affect his work, that was enough.

And these seniors seem to take face and seniority very seriously, they treat everyone that way.

After everyone arrived, all the actors first had a meeting. The director handed out a newly made shooting schedule to everyone. It clearly listed each actor's filming time, allowing them to prepare in advance.

Chi Jingyuan glanced at his shooting schedule and discovered that most of his scenes were concentrated in the morning and early afternoon. The evening and night slots were all left empty.

** wouldn't allow someone as popular as Park Ji-sung to stay in the drama set for several months without any activity. Even though EXO is currently very popular, the member with the highest national recognition and earning potential is still Park Ji-sung. The other members are still quite a distance behind him.

It's acceptable for Chi Jingyuan to miss some short-term itineraries, but if this continues long-term, the company's revenue will be significantly affected.

It's probably that the company has already negotiated with the crew these past two days, so they'll make the most of the morning to finish his scenes for the day and then have the rest of the time free to return to the group and continue their schedule.

If it were other idols or actors, the production crew might not be so accommodating. However, since Ji Chang Wook himself has weight at SBS, as well as with the director and screenwriter, and he also helped out considerably in LA, the production crew and the television station simply gave him face.

Fortunately, the set of "The Heirs" is located next to a prestigious school in Yongsan-gu, Seoul, not far from the city center. It's very convenient and quick to travel between the company and the filming location.

However, Chi Jingyuan is the male lead with the most screen time. Even when filming starts early in the morning, it often takes until quite late to finish his scenes for the day. This is even under the condition that the actors perform well and progress smoothly.

It can be foreseen that in the next few months, Ji Jingyuan will be in a state of extreme busyness, running back and forth between various commitments. However, this is also a state that countless artists on the Peninsula envy.

After the meeting, they officially began filming Ji Chang Wook's scenes. They filmed back and forth until 3 pm before finishing up. After Ji Chang Wook bid farewell to the crew members, he directly got into the nanny car and left the set.

Today's team assembly wasn't very fast. Two days of rest plus many new actors joining the set, everyone felt a bit awkward and it took a while to get into the groove.

Everything else is fine, it's just that...

Ji Jingyuan sat in the nanny car, recalling their reunion today. He suddenly felt much warmer and was a bit surprised by Jung Soo-jung's enthusiastic chattiness. Usually, she wasn't so talkative.

I wonder if she's gone crazy.

Soon, Ji-won arrived at the KBS building, backstage of "Music Bank," and met with the members.

Today there is a music bank performance stage, but today's stage Pool Jingyuan will not participate, still EXO 11 people appeared, he mainly came to cheer and reunite with the members.

After finishing today's schedule, Ji-yeong and the other members will be staying late for practice to brush up on the 12-person stage once more. Tomorrow on Music Center, EXO will reunite for their performance, and he will also be taking the stage.

This is also almost the last formal singing stage.

If nothing unexpected happens, tomorrow's "Music Center" number one spot will most likely belong to EXO, because there are no songs that can compete with "Growl" and EXO.

And if they obtain this one, it means EXO has accomplished an astounding feat.

Except for the music program "Music Bank" with unlimited consecutive wins, all other music shows have graduated from a three-consecutive-win streak.
