Chapter 32: Mi Ah-neh

during the school year because it was too far away. His parents had their own residence, and occasionally his older sister or younger brother would stay for a few days when they came to LA. Normally,..., the Korean Peninsula

………………

"Don't cry."

"...Didn't everyone say it wouldn't affect you practicing as trainees..."

Chi Jingyuan lazily sat there, looking at Ming Meinan who was crying opposite him. He impatiently said something.

Just now, Li Zhongxian came over with a menacing air and called several people to prepare to teach them a lesson. However, when they were walking this way, they probably caught the attention of a customer from some club or bar who immediately pulled out their phone to call the police. Before they could even arrive and start a conflict, the police arrived from the side door nearby and brought them back.

And at this moment, the three trainees were sitting opposite each other in the holding cell at the Gangnam Police Station in Seoul along with Ji-seong and Suzy.

Jiang Zhongxian was with a few people in a nearby room. He seemed to be quite familiar with some of the people there. After arriving, he wasn't flustered at all. He blushed and loudly greeted a few people. He glanced triumphantly at Chi Jingyuan and threatened him before parting ways, saying he would make Chi Jingyuan look good.

It's pretty cute.

while Lee Seung-ri and Lee Jun-ho were trying to de-escalate the situation before it erupted, they panicked when someone called the police. Before the officers arrived, they took the opportunity to leave without being taken back together.

After all, as a fairly well-known artist, when encountering such a situation, it's still best to avoid it if possible.

After we came in, a few police officers were quite aggressive. However, after Ji Jingyuan made a phone call, they immediately became much more polite. They invited all of us into this watchroom and gave each person a glass of water. After that, they didn't bother us anymore.

Ji Chang Wook sat on a chair, closing his eyes and meditating, not paying attention to the surroundings at all. Meanwhile, Suzy remained calm and waited quietly beside him.

At the recording of SBS Gayo Daejun last year, she personally saw SBS's representative and Ji Sung talking and laughing with each other, looking very familiar. This level of background makes her feel at ease, and it is also a major reason why she has always insisted on standing with Ji Sung.

The three JYP trainees seemed flustered as soon as they entered. The black and white decor and the serious, cold atmosphere seemed to frighten them. The three huddled together, nervously fidgeting in their seats across from everyone.

It is also possible that they were afraid this incident would affect their trainee careers, after all, any agency is quite strict in managing trainees, especially foreign ones like them.

... while the one named 'a' was visibly strong during the cb moment, enduring tears without letting them fall. But here, they either started to fear afterwards or were truly overwhelmed with grief, and as soon as they sat down, they cried non-stop.

She wasn't exactly crying, more like humming and sniffling softly. She kept her head down, wiping her tears constantly, occasionally taking a couple of sniffs. With her gentle face and delicate demeanor, she looked rather pitiful.

but she just kept sobbing...

Well, that's annoying.

Two companions beside her kept wiping her with tissues and comforting her in low voices.

Hearing Chi Jingyuan's voice, Mingi Nan lifted her head, her eyes red. She glanced at him with a strange glimmer in them, then lowered her head after a few seconds.

However, the sniffling gradually subsided. It seems like she listened to our advice after all.

Chi Jingyuan tilted his head back, looking at the white incandescent lights on the ceiling. He felt a little tired. Having drunk quite a bit of alcohol, he now had a slight buzz.

After Minami Namiki stopped crying, the atmosphere in the room began to quiet down.

After a while, hurried footsteps approached the guardhouse from afar. They quickly arrived at the door and pushed it open before striding inside.

"Oh my goodness, isn't this our family's big star"

The one leading the way took a quick glance, saw Ji Jingyuan's appearance and first let out a breath of relief. Then, as they walked closer, they spoke to him in a strange, mocking tone: "Well, did your concert get shut down by the police"

Chi Jingyuan didn't even need to look in that direction. Hearing the sound, he immediately covered his eyes with a helpless sigh.

As soon as he heard the voice, he knew it was his second brother, Chi Jingxu.

He muttered two sarcastic remarks in his heart. Pool Jingyuan let go and looked over, seeing Pool Jingxu in a casual suit standing beside him, looking at him playfully. Behind him was a middle-aged man in uniform, the badge on his shoulder clearly indicating a high position.

Several assistants and police officers followed the couple, but they didn't come in; instead, they stayed outside.

With so many subordinates, Chi Jingxu, surrounded by them, looked very imposing.

As soon as Chi Jingxu entered, he immediately drew the attention of the several people who were guarding the room. They were a little stunned and didn't understand who this extraordinary-looking and handsome man was, what he was doing here. At that moment, Chi Jingyuan, with a slant in his eyes, spoke first:

Our concert starts on the 23rd. If you have a ticket, or are backstage.

"Oh, right. My ticket was specifically given to me by Lee Xiu-man." Second brother gave an expression as if he had just remembered, looking innocently at Ji Jingyuan.

"Why did you come here in person Couldn't you just call or send an assistant" Pool Jingyuan had no energy to argue with him. He sat up straight and looked at his second brother, his expression calm as he asked a question.

"That won't do! I haven't seen you at the police station in ages. The last time was when you first came to the peninsula, wasn't it Ah, that scene... When I heard the news, I happened to be nearby, how could I possibly miss out on the commotion"

Ji Jingxu shrugged, looking as if it were only natural. There was a wistful and playful reminiscence on his face.

"So do we still need to bring a DV" Chi Jingyuan sarcastically looked at him.

"Ah, jjia, I forgot." He slapped his forehead as if suddenly realizing something, looking somewhat regretful. This dramatic gesture left Chi Jingyuan speechless for a moment.

Between brothers, a joke was cracked. Ji Jingxu also put away the lazy expression he only had in front of his younger brother and regained his composure, smiling lightly at the person beside him and introducing: "Director Jiang, this is my younger brother, Ji Jingyuan. My biological younger brother, who just debuted as an artist."

"Oh my gosh, it's EXO's Yuan Xi..."

The middle-aged man, who was called Ginger Hall Director, looked at Ji Jingyuan in surprise, then nodded with a sudden realization and smiled warmly at him: "I saw Jingyuan on TV before and thought he looked familiar. I thought his temperament was particularly good. I didn't expect it to be your brother, Director Ji..."

"The head of the ginger department also chases stars" Ji Jingxu looked at him playfully.

"Oh, my daughter. She's been so engrossed in that "Maze of Wonders" game lately. The one she likes best is Jingyuan." The head of the Ginger Hall sighed, looking as if he wanted to hide this family embarrassment.

"Haha, your daughter certainly has good eyesight," the second brother said with a smile, hinting at something.

At this time, Bae Suzy and Nana also learned that the visitor was Ji-hyeong's older brother, and from the situation and conversation, it seemed that things were not simple at all.

These two brothers, upon closer inspection, bear a resemblance. However, one possesses sharp and defined features, while the other has a softer, more sun-kissed appearance. Each presents their own unique charm.

For a moment, several people fell silent, their eyes fixed on this place while their thoughts raced.

"This is, Soo-ji xi" Ji-seok looked at Bae Suzy sitting beside his younger brother and greeted her with a smile, extending his hand.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

"Annyeonghaseyo, I'm Suzy."

Pei Xiuzhi immediately got up and curtsied, awkwardly shaking hands.

Second Brother nodded without saying much. After a moment's pause, he looked at his younger brother: "I know what happened... So, how do you want to handle this"

”……“

Chi Jingyuan let out a breath and said calmly, "It doesn't matter much for the others, but you should take care of that Li Zhongxian."

"Looking at this, it seems you really dislike him..."

Chi Jingxu glanced at him with interest and nodded. "Ok, I understand."

"Can they go now"

"It was supposed to be a statement, but since it's from your friend, Jingyuan, there's no problem... " The head of the ginger hall smiled warmly at Jingyuan, then winked at his subordinates behind him.

"May you be well, Kang Sang Mida."

With a light bow, Ji-won walked forward and nodded towards Suzy Bae. Then, he raised his chin slightly at the three people opposite him, leading them out first.

Pei Suzy hurried her steps, keeping close to Ji Kyung-won's back and hugging his arm. Namiko and the other two also lowered their heads, not daring to look at the people around them as they quickly followed suit.

"How many cars did you guys bring" Chi Jingyuan asked his second older brother as they walked out together.

The magistrate didn't follow either, he must have gone to deal with something. I wonder if I'll ever get to see the wide-reaching connections of Brother Zhongxian again.

Two...

When I stepped out the door, it was well past midnight. There weren't many people on the street, and the wide road seemed deserted. After a while, a few cars would pass by, their tires screeching as they drove.

The temperature in May has risen considerably, but the difference between daytime and nighttime temperatures is still quite large. During the day, you don't feel anything even if you dress casually, but at night, when a cold wind blows, you suddenly feel a chill and can't help but hug yourself or the person next to you.

Qi Jingxu pointed at the two luxury cars parked by the roadside: "Don't worry about me, just drive away first if you need to. I still have some things to deal with here. I'll call a car later."

"Thank you, I'm leaving now." Chi Jingyuan thanked him, smiled at his second brother and winked, then waved goodbye to the girls and slowly walked towards the parking lot.

Brother Two stood at the doorway, not following up. He smiled and watched Brother One's back, then suddenly remembered something and called out: "Will you be coming back home to rest later"

Feeling the hot body pressed against him, Chi Jingyuan didn't turn back. He stretched out his right hand and made a 'disgusted' gesture towards the back.

Ji Jingxu also noticed at this time Bae Suzy, who was hugging Ji Jingyuan's arm and practically sticking to him, and chuckled with understanding: "Sorry, I didn't mean to…"

Then he said another sentence:

"By the way, happy birthday. I've got a present for you, remember to pick it up when you get home..."

Chi Jingyuan casually waved his hand backward without turning around. "Brothers, no need to be so polite."

In their hurried pace, they soon arrived at the first car by the roadside.

"Go ahead."

Opening the car door, Ji Jingyuan turned his head to look at the three JYP trainees following behind him. His gaze swept over each person's face, taking in their expressions. Ji Jingyuan didn't show much emotion as he pointed inside with a gesture.

The three of them remained silent, barely speaking. It seemed like the series of events that had unfolded throughout the evening had left them all a little disoriented. They'd been on the peninsula for quite some time and had never experienced anything like this before. It was natural to feel anxious and flustered.

"Congratulations!"

After hearing what Chi Jingyuan said, the three of them hurriedly went towards Chi Jingyuan and performed a very standard bow. They didn't dare to look at him much, and after saying thank you, they sat down one by one.

After getting into the car and closing the door, it seemed to cut off the somewhat cold and desolate temperature and that previous menacing feeling. The three people wrapped in the metal carriage felt a long-awaited sense of security. They couldn't help but let out a soft sigh, their spirits finally relaxed after being on edge for so long.

"You should know the address of your dorm... Just tell the driver later, he'll send you back." Ji Jingyuan instructed from the open window, seeing Sana quickly nod to indicate she understood and also gave a slight nod.

As he was about to turn, he suddenly remembered something and paused. After a moment of thought, he addressed the three people in the car: "If you don't like those places and activities, it's best not to go next time, and…"

He was about to say something else when Chi Jingyuan suddenly felt he was being too nosy. He cut himself off and didn't continue, instead tilting his head and twitching his lips: "Forget it, anyway, I probably won't see you again… as if I never said anything.

After he finished speaking, he knocked on the window, signaling them to close the windows, and prepared to leave.

"Just a moment." Suddenly, a soft voice came from inside.

Chi Jingyuan turned back and saw it was Mei Nan sitting in the window seat.

She was staring intently at Chi Jingyuan, her head tilted back. Her lips were pressed tightly together, and her moist eyes contained a mix of hesitation and determination. The two opposing emotions did not seem contradictory on her.

"Thank you, and... happy birthday." Nanami seemed very nervous, her two hands clasped together, squeezing them tightly without feeling any pain. Her face was seriously looking at Keon-seong.

"......" Chi Jingyuan smiled at her and nodded to show that he had received it, then listened to what she had to say.

“Can…”

She opened her mouth, hesitated for a few seconds, clearly very hesitant.

But in the end, my inner obsession still prevailed.

She looked at Ji Jingyuan with expectant eyes and said, “Can we exchange contact information”

Next to her, Minase and Momoko were both surprised, looking at her with wonder. They couldn't believe that their usually shy and gentle friend would be so proactive.

Feeling Mizunami's hopeful gaze, Keijyun smiled at her glistening eyes, seemingly sensing the emotions surging within her.

But Chi Jingyuan only smiled lightly, winked at her, and said in a gentle voice:

"Mia..."
