Chapter 7 Yuri, have some sense!
Kwon Yuri slapped her thigh and jumped up from her chair in excitement.
This sudden shout startled everyone in the waiting room.
Pani clutched her chest and collapsed into a chair.
Choi Soo-young frowned and yelled, "Hey! Kwon Yuri, are you trying to kill me?! What did you remember?"
Yuri, beaming with excitement, pointed at Yoona and exclaimed, "I remember when I first saw him! Yoona, isn't that Lee Ji-hyung your old handsome oppa?"
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then they all turned their gazes to Yoona in the corner.
Yoona lifted her tear-streaked face and said in a hoarse voice, "Unnie, it wasn't him."
"How could it not be? It's definitely him!" Yuri was completely oblivious to the strange atmosphere and continued to excitedly chatter on.
"Even though he's grown a lot taller and his facial features have matured, he's still so handsome! He's just like the oppa who picked you up from the practice room before your debut!"
"Have you forgotten? Your oppa complimented my looks back then, and you were even jealous of me because of it!"
Yuri looked smug, seemingly still proud of her good memory, completely unaware of Yoona's pale face in the corner.
She opened her mouth, wanting to continue speaking.
"Yuri unnie!"
Im Yoona suddenly stood up and let out a cry that was filled with sobs.
"I told you! That's not him!"
Seeing Yoona lose control of her emotions, Lee Soon-kyu and Choi Soo-young realized something was wrong and rushed towards Kwon Yuri at the same time.
One person grabbed her tightly from behind, while the other covered her mouth, which was about to continue speaking.
"Hey! Kwon Yuri, have some sense!" Lee Soon-kyu warned through gritted teeth in a low voice.
Kim Hyoyeon quickly stepped in to smooth things over, saying, "She must have mistaken someone for someone else. Didn't Lee Ji-hyung just say 'nice to meet you' to Yoona? Yuri must have mistaken her for someone else."
As Lim Yoona slumped back into her chair, the words "nice to meet you" brought back memories of Li Zhixing's resolute departure.
"I'm going abroad, and I guess we won't have many chances to meet again."
"But Yoona, even if we meet again someday in the future, I hope you will treat me as a stranger, as if... we never knew each other."
"A stranger...?"
Lim Yoona buried her head in her arms and murmured to herself, "Lee Ji-haeng, you really do keep your word, you're utterly heartless..."
The standby room fell silent once again.
Each member of Girls' Generation harbored their own thoughts.
Everyone vaguely sensed that something among them seemed to have changed since that man named Li Zhixing came.
Lee Soon-kyu frowned as he looked at the heartbroken Im Yoon-ah, recalling Yoon-ah's unusual behavior earlier that day, and couldn't help but feel suspicious.
Has Yuri really admitted her mistake?
If Lee Ji-hyeong really knew Yoona before their debut, then why did he act as if he was meeting Yoona for the first time?
The aloofness and unfamiliarity in his eyes didn't seem like an act at all!
"Bang!"
Suddenly, the door to the waiting room was forcefully pushed open from the outside.
Then, an angry Jessica burst in.
"Li Zhixing! You're dead today!"
Jessica looked around as she entered the waiting room, but couldn't find Li Zhixing. Sensing the strange atmosphere in the room, she frowned and asked, "Where is he? Where did he go?"
Tiffany shrank back and timidly pointed to the door: "I...I was chased away by Yoona."
"What?"
Sika was stunned for a moment, her face full of astonishment.
She was about to ask why, but then she sneered, "Good timing! If he dares to come again, I'll kick him out!"
Seohyun looked at Jessica, who had returned, and then looked at Lee Soon-kyu with some confusion, wondering how Jessica unnie had gotten involved with Ji-hyung sunbaenim again.
Lee Soon-kyu scratched his hair in frustration: "Lee Ji-hyung used to work part-time as a sparring partner at Jessica's boxing gym. It seems like the two of them didn't get along very well."
Seohyun was stunned again, and even Yoona, who had been keeping her head down, looked up in surprise.
Xu Xian quickly pieced together the information she had gathered that day in her mind.
She took a deep breath and walked towards Jessica with a serious expression: "Jessica unnie, when was the first time you met Zhixing-senpai?"
Jessica frowned.
Why are you asking this?
Clearly, she didn't want to recall how she first met that annoying guy.
But Seohyun was unusually stubborn.
She stepped forward, staring intently into Jessica's eyes: "Jessica unnie, please tell me, this is really important!"
Jessica was a little confused by Seohyun's serious expression.
She walked to the sofa and sat down, crossing her arms over her chest. As if recalling something unpleasant, her face instantly turned cold.
"September 24, 1937."
Upon hearing the date, Yoona froze.
Seohyun was also extremely surprised.
She turned her head and said in a trembling voice:
"Did you really go abroad back then, senior?"
......
Evening in Seoul was still filled with an oppressive, sultry heat.
Fangbeidong is a quiet alley not far from the semi-basement apartment I rented.
Li Zhixing pulled down the brim of his hat, having just dismissed a girl who had come running up to him with a flushed face asking for his number.
Watching the girl turn and leave with a look of utter disappointment, he sighed helplessly, "That hat almost completely covers her face, why are people still trying to chat her up?"
He took out his phone and glanced at the time, muttering to himself, "Sigh, Noona is still so slow..."
Tonight is the pre-screening dinner for the cast and crew of "Haeundae". Director Yoon Je-kyun specially organized the dinner. Lee Ji-haeng, who doesn't own a car, can only wait here for someone to pick him up.
"squeak--"
With a deep engine roar, a black Porsche Cayenne came to a smooth stop at the roadside.
The passenger-side window slowly rolled down, revealing a face wearing sunglasses.
The woman had neat short hair that just reached her chin. Although half of her face was covered by sunglasses, her excellent jawline and slightly upturned red lips were still bright and beautiful.
She pulled her sunglasses down a little and said in a flippant tone, "Hey, handsome, where are you going? Want me to give you a ride?"
Li Zhixing raised his head slightly, adopting a composed demeanor: "My grandmother told me that I shouldn't get into a strange woman's car."
"Even someone as beautiful as Nuna isn't allowed?"
My grandma said that the prettier a woman is, the more dangerous she is.
"Oh? What about the beautiful and rich ones?"
Before he could finish speaking, Li Zhixing had already deftly opened the car door, and while pulling on the seatbelt, he said in a serious tone, "Nuna, next time please get to the point first!"
"Pfft..."
The woman finally couldn't hold back any longer and lightly patted the steering wheel, letting out a hearty laugh.
This person is none other than Ha Ji-won, a top South Korean actress.
After laughing, Ha Ji-won put her sunglasses back on and glanced at the time: "We need to speed things up. Director Jae-kyun and the others seem to have arrived by now."
Li Zhixing glanced sideways at her tense posture, almost pressed against the steering wheel, and said helplessly, "Noona, are you sure you can drive fast? Why don't you let me take over?"
Ha Ji-won rolled her eyes at him, annoyed. "Don't look down on me! Why can't I drive? Buckle up, Noona's going to show you what a Bangbae-dong racing god is all about today, I'm going to go for it!"
