Chapter 42 I'll Cheer for You
."Just a moment..."Realizing the other party was about to hang up, Ji Jingyuan spoke."Whew…"He let out a long sigh, clipped his phone between his shoulder and ear, and sat up straight in bed. As he go...Of all the EXO members, only Wu Sehun had previously dated someone known to be Sun Na Eun before this situation. When he saw what was happening, a strange smile immediately appeared on his face. He covered his mouth and looked at Ji Kyeongwon with a playful gaze. And when Ji Kyeongwon met his eyes, he raised an eyebrow.
"Don't worry, I'll have them set off to notify everyone right away. The rest of us can start getting ready."
Unbeknownst to Kim Jun-myeon, who was still busy with everything, he said a few words and then hung up the phone. Afterward, he signaled Wu Shixun and Park Jiung to rush to the waiting room of Apk and notify them.
Ji Jingyuan sighed inwardly, stood up and walked out of the room with Wu Shixun who was trying hard not to laugh, holding the notice prepared by Taemin and several shooting VJs. They headed towards the Apk waiting room.
"Funny"
Looking back, the VJ behind them was a few meters away and couldn't hear them talking. Ji Jingyuan said in a calm voice without changing his expression.
"That's really interesting when I think about it. Recording with my ex-girlfriend..."
Wu Shihun blurted it out without thinking, but upon seeing Ji Kyeongwon's expression, he immediately waved his hand and changed his words: "Ani, not funny at all."
Seeing his conduct like this, Chi Jingyuan shook his head.
All the backstage waiting rooms are in one area, very close together. Just take a turn and you'll be at the door.
Wu Shih-hsien, taking the lead, knocked on the door.
"Who is it Come in." That voice was definitely Jung Eun-ji's.
They opened the door and walked in one after the other. The VJ behind them got close and kept filming.
"Oh my, Anihaseyo..."
The people in the waiting room all stood up and greeted each other. They must have received notification beforehand and gone over the script, but at this moment, all six of them had puzzled expressions on their faces, acting very convincingly.
After seeing clearly the faces of the two people, Jung Eun-ji directly narrowed her eyes and grinned. Jin Nana-joo and Woo Ha-ryong beside her brightened their eyes, covering their mouths at the same time, and laughed along with her.
They have been Yuan's fans ever since the O-lympics.
While Son Na-eun immediately locked her gaze on Ji-seong when he entered, her lips pursed as she stared intently at his face without blinking for several seconds. She seemed to remember the cameras were rolling and casually shifted her gaze in another direction. A while later, however, she looked back again.
"Annyeonghaseyo, We are one, we are EXO."
Wu Shixun and Ji Kyeong-won greeted each other with a smile.
As soon as Ji Jingyuan stepped into the room, he felt at least three pairs of eyes constantly watching him. Especially Sun Na-eun, she hadn't changed after several months apart.
Because there's a music center stage being recorded in a little while, and they've already finished their makeup and are wearing their performance outfits.
Ji Jingyuan's rainbow hair has faded, and his hair in "Roar" is a brand new silver-gray. However, the new color hasn't been officially revealed yet, so he's still performing on stage with his original black hair for now.
At this time, one of the members with the highest face value in EXO, and also a person who competes for the top three in terms of appearance, stood together. Watching from the surroundings, several girls were delighted.
"Annyeonghaseyo, we are Apk."
The other party also returned the gesture, their eyes flitting back and forth between the two of them, primarily focusing on Ji Jingyuan's face.
'Up close, it's really a feast for the eyes...'
The two younger members of the Apk group exchanged glances, both clearly seeing the same thought in each other's eyes.
Chi Jingyuan felt Sun Naen's gaze and smiled at him, nodding slightly. Then he quickly averted his eyes, no longer responding to her fiery expression.
He found that Sun Na-eun seemed to still have feelings for him after several months, her expression and eyes were quite telling. If the audience looked closely, they could easily see something was going on.
> Fortunately, the other members beside her were also full of surprise, which somewhat concealed Son Naeun's obvious expression.
He elbowed Wu Shixun, urging him to quickly take out the notice and then they hurried away.
Chi Jingyuan only greeted everyone at the beginning, and then remained silent, acting like a statue.
Seeing Ji Jingyuan remained unresponsive, Son Naeun's eyes dimmed a little, her gaze flickering, as if she recalled something else.
After showing them the notification letter, they took the APK to the prepared recording studio and performed a dance to "Wolf" right in front of them.
Though the dance itself was clearly very handsome, when they started performing it looked awkward no matter how you looked at it. A strong feeling of shame washed over them that couldn't be shaken off. After just a few seconds, several members couldn't help but burst into laughter, and that ended the performance.
After that, they showcased their talents and Taemin's gifts. The crowd cheered enthusiastically, and the recording ended successfully.
It's no wonder that before, when Chi Jingyuan had a meal with Jung Eun-ji, he gave "We Got Married" a very negative review. The script of this funny and awkward drama is really not something an ordinary writer could come up with.
After filming wrapped, everyone bowed to each other in farewell. Before leaving, Jung Eun-ji even came over to chat with Park Kyung-won for a while.
Soon after returning, Ji-won received a message from Sun Na Eun: "I heard you guys are making a comeback in August, with your main song written by you! Fighg, I will be watching and cheering for you all the way."
After seeing this, Chi Jingyuan immediately understood the other party's meaning. He considered it for a moment and did not reply.
Since ** officially announced the comeback of "Roar," Ji Chang-wook has been criticized online for writing the title song. Many people left comments mocking and ridiculing him, saying that as an idol, he shouldn't be meddling in songwriting and should leave it to professionals. They suggested that he would be better off filming a TV drama instead.
This is still relatively mild; some black fans directly escalated to personal attacks, saying some really hurtful things.
Of course, Ji Jingyuan's personality doesn't care at all. He was still laughing with the members in the dormitory and reading a few of them.
Several of his close friends also noticed the comments and sent him text messages to express their support, all saying they were looking forward to the theme song he would write.
What made him laugh the hardest was Zhou Tzuyu. This girl who doesn't understand Korean somehow got a hold of some information and dug up a long piece of inspirational text, copying it into a message to encourage him and saying she would watch the "Roar" MV as soon as possible.
The dense display of traditional Chinese characters filled the entire screen. At first glance, Chi Jingyuan felt a headache coming on. After reading two sentences, he closed it immediately and didn't even look at the rest.
It's a pity that Zhou Tzuyu put so much effort into this, ah.
After the recording of "We Got Married" was finished, it was time for Music Center.
The promotional activities for 《Wolf》 are ongoing and will continue until two weeks before the release of 《Roaring》 .
This period of time EXO has been going on various schedules and appearing on most music shows, but they haven't gotten first place again.
Unless something unexpected happens, their song 《Wolf》 will likely stop at the number 6 in its ranking.
With a busy schedule and never-ending controversies, the day arrived on July 25th: the official release date of the first trailer for "The Roar".
Original Web Novel Debutd onto the stage. The prelude to "Roar," which echoed across Asia, also started playing."Ahhh...."Hearing this prelude that seemed to resonate from the depths of their souls, all the fans below roared...
