Chapter 84 This familiar, ambiguous feeling?
The members are all waiting for Wu Haiyuan to "step forward".
It was obvious that Han Xijun was there to see her. If it were just a coincidence that he was passing by, he would have stopped his car as he was about to pass by, instead of waiting at the company entrance beforehand.
Judging from Wu Haiyuan's surprised expression, he probably didn't know that Han Xijun would be here.
My elbow was gently nudged.
Coming to his senses, Wu Haiyuan finally spoke up, "Didn't Han Xijun go on a date?"
The members stared wide-eyed.
Dating?
Han Xijun went on a date with another girl?
How did Wu Haiyuan find out?
More importantly, Wu Haiyuan didn't react in any particular way to Han Xijun going on a date.
Weren't they in a flirtatious, ambiguous stage where they had mutual feelings for each other?
I'm totally confused.
I'm also very conflicted.
It seems they shouldn't be here; they should leave Han Xijun and Wu Haiyuan some private space to have a proper chat about what their "date" is all about.
But his curiosity was irresistible. Did Han Xijun have any other ambiguous relationships?
It's not that Han Xijun lacks personal charm; the trending topic brought out countless people who secretly admire him. It's that the members don't think Han Xijun is a scumbag, which may also be related to Wu Haiyuan's description, since Wu Haiyuan describes Han Xijun as someone who only focuses on his career.
While the members were still trying to figure out which one was the real Han Hee-joon, Han Hee-joon raised his voice a few decibels and said, "I already told you, this isn't a blind date."
It sounds like she's angrily refuting something.
Wu Haiyuan paused for a moment, then shared the same feeling as the other members, explaining, "That's not what I meant. Having dinner with friends is also a date."
Han Xijun realized he had lost his composure and changed the subject, saying, "We just met. Would you like to grab something to eat together? It's on me."
Before Wu Haiyuan could answer, Jin Zhiyou interjected, "Let's treat Han Xijun to dinner. We've been wanting to thank Han Xijun for helping promote our NMIXX group."
Han Hee-joon looked at the NMIXX members standing behind Oh Hae-won.
He didn't refuse, but nodded and said, "Okay, where should we eat?"
Pei Zhenshu said, "Please wait a moment, let's discuss it."
The group immediately formed a circle and began to whisper among themselves.
Lily: "Let's have barbecue. The maknae originally wanted to eat Korean beef, but if we eat a little less, it should be enough for around 50 won."
Bae Jin-sol said, "That person just now skipped over Hae-won unnie when they were looking at us. That's amazing."
They were instantly led astray.
Xue Lun'e: "What does 'skip' mean?"
Kim Ji-woo: "Jin-sol unnie is right, that guy is really tall. Even when Hae-won unnie is standing in front of him, she can't block his gaze from looking at us."
Zhang Guizhen: "Let's go to the barbecue restaurant we went to before. There shouldn't be many customers there at this time."
"The shop run by Grandpa and Grandma Kim?"
"Yes, everyone living nearby should have finished eating. Let's hurry over, they close at 11 o'clock."
The group was discussing it.
Wu Haiyuan lowered his voice and asked Han Xijun, "Han Xijun, are you really just passing by?"
Han Xijun shook his head: "No, I don't know how I drove here, and then I saw you guys coming out."
Wu Haiyuan said "Oh," his mouth forming a small circle.
She's managing her facial expressions.
If he didn't make it into a small circle, Wu Haiyuan was afraid he would laugh at himself.
She knew that Han Xijun couldn't have just happened to pass by; he might have come specifically to wait for her.
At this time, Han Hee-jun should be organizing emails and reviewing his work. Normally, even if he has made an appointment to meet someone for dinner in the evening, he would rush back to the company as soon as it's over. But today, he appeared at the entrance of JYP Entertainment and invited the members to have dinner together.
It's hard for Wu Haiyuan not to overthink things.
When are you going to record the show?
When Han Xijun asked, Wu Haiyuan replied, "The day after tomorrow. I was just discussing with the members what individual skills we should perform on the show."
"What personal skill?"
"I haven't thought it through yet. This is my first time recording a very famous program, and I want to act more composed, since I'm representing NMIXX, not just myself."
Han Xijun understood for a moment and said, "Aren't the more exaggerated and funnier variety shows, the better?"
"Normally, but this time I feel..."
I really like your exaggerated and funny side.
Wu Haiyuan pointed to himself and said, "Looks? Not some kind of imitation or something?"
Is there a difference?
"Yes, I interpret 'funny' as meaning that I'm inherently funny, not that I'm imitating anything..."
"Yes, you understand correctly."
"Does Han Hee-joon think I'm inherently funny?"
Upon hearing this question, Wu Haiyuan became nervous.
Previously, I considered to tone down my comedic side on "Radio Star," to be more well-behaved and ladylike, and to properly showcase my singing and dancing skills. I thought that Han Hee-joon would see the show's video, and my parents would also watch it, so at least they wouldn't think their daughter was being "shameful" by acting crazy.
She is a quiet and reserved person by nature; she is an I person, not an E person.
It's entirely because after debuting, I shouldered the responsibility of being the leader, and I wanted to show a more likable side to attract attention. Whenever I had the opportunity to participate in the recording of any program, I would mentally prepare myself in advance and become the proactive person.
This is her professional side, not her true self.
Han Xijun had clearly misunderstood.
It was a misunderstanding that arose entirely from encountering the professional side of myself while filming a program in an island nation.
"Yeah, funny."
"No, actually I'm a quiet and reserved person."
"Who? Wu Haiyuan Xi?"
"Wow, hahahaha!"
Han Xijun looked at Wu Haiyuan, who suddenly burst into laughter, with a puzzled expression.
In that instant, she seemed completely out of place with quiet and reserved demeanor.
Upon hearing Wu Haiyuan's laughter, the members all turned to look at him.
After another round of murmurs, Lily walked over to Wu Haiyuan and said, "Han Xijun, is it okay if we eat barbecue?"
Han Xijun said, "I'm fine with anything. Shall we set off now?"
"Let's go now. We'll take a taxi, and Han Xijun will follow us in his car."
Han Xijun pointed to the SUV and said, "My car can seat 7 people (this setting doesn't include members who left the group)."
A regular SUV can indeed seat seven people, but the interior space is very cramped.
In addition, the members felt it would be more convenient to take a taxi there, so if anyone wanted to ride in Han Hee-jun's car, it could only be Oh Hae-won.
Two minutes later.
"Why is this car so big? It's completely different from other SUVs."
"Wow, this car is an imported luxury car."
"The last row is also very spacious."
"Lily thinks the width is normal."
"What? What do you think, Ji-woo?"
"It is very wide"
"It's uncertain whether Jinsol unnie will sit in the last row."
front row.
Wu Haiyuan, sitting in the passenger seat, turned his head and said, "Kids, buckle up and get ready to go."
This is a reminder to the members not to get excited like they've never ridden in a car before.
Then he asked Xue Lun'e, who was sitting in the first row at the back, "Xueyun, where are you going?"
"At Grandpa Jin and Grandma Jin's place"
Wu Haiyuan gave an OK sign and looked at Han Xijun in the driver's seat, saying, "Let's go, I'll navigate."
Han Xijun twitched his nose, turned his head, and sneezed.
Wu Haiyuan casually opened the glove compartment in front of the passenger seat, took out a tissue, and handed it to Han Xijun.
The car suddenly fell silent.
Han Xijun, taking the tissue, said to Wu Haiyuan, "Lipstick."
Wu Haiyuan asked in confusion, "Lipstick?"
Han Xijun said, "Last time, when I took you home after having dinner with your sister, you fell into the car."
Wu Haiyuan muttered to himself, "No wonder I couldn't find it after searching for so long back in the dorm."
As they were talking, Wu Haiyuan found the lipstick in the storage box and said with a grin, "This is a coming-of-age gift that my dad gave me in advance. It would make him sad if I lost it."
Sensing that something was amiss, Wu Haiyuan slowly turned around.
The members in the back row chuckled and said in unison, "Yes, yes, a coming-of-age gift, flowers, perfume..."
