"Oppa changed his hairstyle again?"
Under the beautiful night, Jin Zhuxuan walked out of the house and walked along the village where he grew up.
If everyone has their own childhood sweetheart, then the handsome young man next to her should be her childhood sweetheart.
But unlike her, she has been living here with her family, while the other person's family moved away not long after his debut.
That's right.
The other party is also an idol.
Like her, she also made her debut as a trainee and was selected into a newly established boy group. She developed into a very successful boy group, and was not considered to be a top student, but she could still be considered a top student among the countless idol groups.
"That's not because you haven't cared about me for too long."
Liu Xiangjun pretended to be sad, then smiled and wiped his hair, "Is this hair color handsome?"
Jin Zhuxuan nodded and smiled, "Oppa has always been handsome since he was a child."
"No way."
Walking around the place where he lived as a child, it seemed like there were memories everywhere, and Liu Sangjun sighed.
"You are the one who has been beautiful since childhood, okay? When I was a child, I followed you and was always laughed at like cow dung. You don't know, I almost became depressed. Do you know why I moved my nose? It was not to debut, but It’s because of the shadow of childhood that I don’t want to feel inferior anymore.”
Plastic surgery.
It has never been just for women.
As an idol, you should show your best self to your fans, which is called dedication and responsibility.
"Does Oppa have low self-esteem? Why have I never felt that?"
Jin Zhuxuan said with a smile, in a very relaxed state.
"That's because you haven't paid attention to me at all."
Walking under the stars, Liu Junxiang laughed at himself and sighed: "It was the same when I was a child, and it is the same now."
"How could it be? I have always liked Oppa."
Liu Junxiang was refreshed after hearing this, but the next half of Jin Zhuxuan's words suddenly made him feel discouraged.
"When someone bullies me, Oppa always helps me."
"Haha, who told you to be so beautiful since you were a child? Boys want to attract your attention, while girls do it out of jealousy."
"Blame me?"
After the laughter, Liu Junxiang calmed down and said, "How is your life in China? Are you used to it?"
"It's good. Oppa doesn't have to worry about me."
"Really? But don't you feel lonely without friends?"
Kim Joo-hyun's development in China can be learned online, but her private life cannot be checked.
"Oppa, are my communication skills that bad? I made new friends in China."
"Oh."
Liu Junxiang was a little embarrassed.
Jin Zhuxuan looked at him, "Oppa, if you go to China, you will know that there is a lot of food there, a large land, low consumption, easy work, and high income. Artists are very respected there."
"So that's why you rarely come back?"
Kim Joo Hyun denied, "I come back often. This will always be my hometown."
"But you never notify me when you come back."
Liu Junxiang answered.
Jin Zhuxuan smiled, "Isn't it because I don't want to disturb Oppa?"
"Why are you disturbing me?"
Liu Junxiang showed no surprise and immediately said: "Don't forget, we made a promise when we were children that we will always be friends."
Jin Zhuxuan nodded.
"Of course Oppa and I are friends. I will definitely let you know when I come back later, okay."
It’s “definitely next time” again.
But Liu Junxiang, who had never been to China, definitely didn't understand, so he put away his displeasure and suddenly saw a house on the slope in front of him.
"Look, the paintings we made when we were kids."
There is a large watercolor pattern on the exterior wall of that house, but because it has been so long, the color is mottled, and it is no longer clear what the specific painting is.
Jin Zhuxuan stopped and looked at him with nostalgia.
"Does Oppa regret it now?"
"What do you regret?"
"Regret growing up."
Liu Junxiang was distracted.
Jin Zhuxuan looked at the blurry mural and asked, "Does Oppa regret becoming an idol?"
Liu Junxiang frowned, obviously he didn't expect Zhuxuan to ask such a question, or he didn't understand.
"If you don't become an idol, what can you do?"
"You can be a doctor, a lawyer, and a prosecutor."
Liu Junxiang laughed.
"Joohyun, it's not that easy to become a lawyer, a doctor, or a prosecutor. Do you know how much effort it takes?"
"Is there anything harder than becoming an idol artist?"
Jin Zhuxuan asked.
Liu Junxiang was suddenly speechless, opened his mouth, and said: "But to become one of those professions, the prerequisite is to be admitted to a prestigious university, and my grades are not good."
"Oppa delayed his studies because he became a trainee, otherwise he might really be on the gold medal list."
Liu Junxiang was silent.
"...So Joo Hyun regrets it?"
Beside the slope, under the streetlight, Jin Zhuxuan smiled, "Just chatting with Oppa."
Liu Junxiang nodded and looked at the mottled mural, "Becoming an idol and giving your grandma a good life has been your dream since childhood."
Jin Zhuxuan was noncommittal.
Um.
Becoming a star is indeed her dream since she was very young, because this is the national condition of Korea, and the adults around her will always say that she is born to be an entertainer when they see her.
But when she successfully debuted, she found that her dream and reality were completely different.
More than suffering.
More than tired.
Bitterness and fatigue are bearable.
"Let's go."
Liu Junxiang said.
When the two left, not only did they have childhood memories here, but everything in the village was too familiar to them.
"The new company treats you well, right?"
"Well, good."
"China is biased against us Korean artists. If you can develop so well in China, your company must be very powerful in China."
As an oppa, Yoo Jun-sang seems to pay a lot of attention to his sister's situation there.
"Oppa, don't I have any credit for it?"
Jin Zhuxuan said deliberately.
Yoo Jun-sang smiled sheepishly, "Of course, our Joo-hyun must be the best."
"Well, my boss is a nice guy."
Speaking of this, Kim Joo-hyun, who was praised by fans as having the highest level of beauty in Goryeo, couldn't help but soften her tone. This was naturally noticed by Oppa Yoo Jun-sang who grew up with her.
But he remained calm.
He is also an idol.
He is also a member of the circle.
How could you not understand the industry's rules and regulations?
“It seems like we are loved wherever we show off our jewelry.”
"Oppa, stop saying that, I'm not that good at all."
For some reason, Jin Zhuxuan suddenly felt a little depressed.
"Didn't you just say that your boss takes good care of you?"
"That's because he's kind."
"Kindness?"
Yoo Jun-sang seemed to feel that he had heard wrongly, "Joo-hyun, do capitalists have the character of kindness?"
Jin Zhuxuan shook his head, "He is different. If you have seen him, you will know."
If Boss Jiang were here, he would be blushing and ashamed.
Kind.
Without further ado, ask the suffering Japanese next door if they agree with this assessment.
"Is there any chance?" Liu Junxiang was the one who wanted to meet the other party.
Boss Jiang is in Seoul now, and he just left by car not long ago. It is indeed not impossible to meet him, but Jin Zhuxuan does not seem to have any intention of arranging an introduction.
"Then I don't know. After all, I'm just an artist."
Jin Zhuxuan changed the topic lightly.
Liu Junxiang didn't seem to care either.
"Have you contacted Xuejing?"
After walking for a while, he suddenly asked.
"No. What's wrong?"
Liu Junxiang suddenly had doubts, "You and Xuejing are such good friends..."
"Since I went to China to develop, the contact between us has become less."
Jin Zhuxuan looked as usual, "Oppa has something to ask her about? You can contact her directly."
"I contacted you, but no one answered."
"Aren't Oppa and Xuejing the same company?"
"Yes, I haven't seen her in the company for many days. I asked my friends around me and they all said they didn't know, so I was more worried about her. You and she knew each other when we were trainees, and I thought you would know. ”
Jin Zhuxuan stopped.
"What Oppa means is that the snow crystal is missing?"
Liu Junxiang shook his head and said with a smile: "How could a living person disappear? It's just that she suddenly lost contact with everyone. I'm worried that she may have encountered some trouble."
“Hasn’t Oppa asked the company?”
Liu Junxiang smiled bitterly, "It's not like you don't know that the company prohibits male and female artists from getting too close. How dare I ask? If I ask, they won't tell me."
Jin Zhuxuan nodded, "Then I will try to contact Xuejing later. If I get in touch, I will tell Oppa."
Liu Junxiang nodded.
A BMW XM appeared in front and parked quietly on the side of the road.
"Oppa, then I will go back."
"Yeah."
Liu Junxiang turned around, opened his arms, and said, "A hug."
Jin Zhuxuan looked at him with a smile and said nothing.
Seeing this, Liu Junxiang put down his hands and shrugged.
"Yeah, it would be really nice if I didn't grow up."
Jin Zhuxuan smiled and waved, "Drive safely."
"If you contact Xuejing, remember to tell me."
Liu Junxiang turned around and walked towards the BMW XM.
Jin Zhuxuan did not wait for the car to drive away this time. After Liu Junxiang opened the door and got in the car, she turned around and returned.
Liu Junxiang put on his seat belt, started the car, and took a look at Jin Zhuxuan's retreating back in the rearview mirror.
He twitched his lips and drove away.
"Joo Hyun, come on, the vegetable pancakes are hot."
Seeing his granddaughter coming back, the gray-haired old man hurriedly waved.
"Thank you grandma."
Jin Zhuxuan came over, sat on the floor like her family, picked up the vegetable pancake, and took a bite.
I wasn't hungry just now.
But now I'm hungry.
I also don’t want to live up to grandma’s wishes.
"Jun-sang is gone?"
Golden Mother asked.
"Yeah."
Jin Zhuxuan nodded while eating the cake. It was hard to imagine that an idol star would eat this kind of food.
"Jun-sang, why is this kid like this now? He dyed his hair white at a young age..."
"Mom, Jun-sang is an idol. This is the image and style set by the company. He can't make the decision. And it's not white, it's silver."
Father Jin is quite fair and objective.
The old man was still stubborn and insisted on his own opinion, "Anyway, this child is different from when he was a child."
It was not in vain that Jin's father argued with the old mother. He looked at his daughter and coughed, pretending to be nonchalant.
"What did you talk about with Jun-sang?"
"We didn't talk about anything. Grandma, the vegetable pancakes you made are so delicious."
Hearing his granddaughter's praise, the old man smiled with wrinkles on his face, and then said with heartache: "My little Zhuxuan has suffered in China..."
"Mom, her life is much better in China than here."
Golden Mother said amusedly.
"You girl, I'm asking you something."
Jin's father was dissatisfied.
"Didn't I answer you? Nothing to talk about."
"How is it possible? You haven't seen each other for so long. He liked you very much when he was a child."
The old man is just rough and speaks straightforwardly.
The golden mother glared at her husband.
"I'm right. They have all moved away. Jun-sang still comes to our house often..."
"Dad, Oppa and I are friends."
"Shut up! That boy is not worthy of our Xiao Zhuxuan!"
The old man scolded his son.
The family hierarchy in Goryeo is very strict. Under normal circumstances, children would never dare to contradict their parents. Jin's father immediately ceased his activities.
"Our little Joo Hyun can only match the best man in the world."
Turning to face his granddaughter, the kindness and doting in the old man's eyes almost overflowed.
Even my daughter-in-law couldn't stand it anymore, "Mom, stop saying that, she has never been in love until now..."
"That's because the men I meet are not the best men!"
The old man doesn't even give face to his daughter-in-law. He is old, but his thinking is quick and his logic is strong.
DoubleKill scored a double kill.
This time, my daughter-in-law was also silenced.
"Did something happen to Xuejing?"
The couple looked at each other, not daring to challenge their mother. Jin's father could only swallow his anger and change the subject.
"I don't know."
"When you go to China, you don't want any friends anymore? Junxiang just said that Xuejing has been missing for many days."
The old man did not refute his son this time and nodded, "That child Xuejing, her father is no longer here. When you were still a trainee, she came to the house for dinner. Grandma felt pity for her when she saw her. Zhuxuan, If you can, help others.”
"Grandma, I know, I will contact Xuejing."
"What happened to Xue Jing? Is she tired because of too many announcements? Is she sick?" Jin Mu asked.
"It's also possible that we are in love."
Father Jin said thoughtfully.
"I'm full."
After eating a vegetable pancake, Jin Zhuxuan wiped his hands and stood up, "I'm going upstairs first."
"Wait a moment."
Father Jin stopped her, "What did you do today?"
"Shopping."
"What about what you bought?"
Father Jin seemed to be able to see everything in front of his eyes.
Jin Zhuxuan miscalculated for a moment and didn't know how to answer.
After all, I'm still not good at lying.
"Ah, are you interrogating a prisoner? Is my Zhuxuan your prisoner?"
As expected, the old man stood up again. "My Joo-hyun works so hard. She has to go abroad to work alone for our family. It's so hard to be alone. Oh, my poor little Joo-hyun..."
Father Jin, one with two heads, winked at his wife, but there was nothing she could do.
"Grandma, I'm not working hard in China at all. On the contrary, I'm very happy. I like China."
After speaking with a smile, Jin Zhuxuan walked out of the room and went upstairs, leaving only a few elders looking at each other, looking at each other.
What the girl just said.
Is it "happiness"? (End of chapter)
