Tang Jinyan touched his face. He could still feel the softness of her lips. He turned his head and looked at Park Soyeon on the bed.
Park Soyeon was still in a deep sleep. According to the doctor, she might wake up in the middle of the night, so someone had to stay behind to watch over her.
Park Ji-yeon had run away. He didn't know who T-ara had come to take over her shift.
He understood Park Ji-yeon's emotions and didn't take her impulsive actions to heart. He stood up again and stood in front of the window to watch the rain.
Park Ji-yeon ran out of the ward and rushed downstairs. She held onto the railing and gasped for breath. Her face was as red as an apple.
Watching T-ara make a comeback step by step, she couldn't control her emotions. She couldn't believe she had done something so impulsive …
Oh no … He had just broken up with his girlfriend. Wasn't it too frivolous to do that? She couldn't steal from Soyeon Oni either!
Park Ji-yeon leaned her head against the railing and was about to cry.
"Zhi Yan, what are you doing?" Li Juli's curious voice sounded in her ear.
Park Ji-yeon looked up and threw herself into Li Juli's arms. "Oni, I was impulsive and kissed Jinyan Oppa …"
Li Juli was stunned. She rubbed her face and didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "You're really … not afraid that he would take you on the spot?"
Park Ji-yeon scratched her head. "I don't think he would … even if he would … actually …"
She couldn't finish her sentence. The two sisters sighed together.
When they saw him during the day, they blamed themselves so much that they wanted to die. If he really wanted to vent his anger, no one would have resisted. A kiss was nothing …
After a while, Li Juli said, "You were beside him watching us make a comeback. You were so excited that you couldn't control yourself, right?"
"Yeah, Oni, you know about this too?"
"My phone was about to explode on the way here. It only stopped now. How could I not know?"
Li Juli said in a low voice, "He gave us a new lease of life, but we harmed him … Now, we really don't know what attitude we should have towards him."
The sisters sighed again.
Li Juli understood Park Ji-yeon's feelings very well. If it were her, her performance would not be much better than hers.
Li Juli reached out her hand, grabbed Park Ji-yeon's lips, and pulled them outwards. Then, she let go and pulled them back with a "pop" sound. She smiled and said, "So be it. Someone like him … His old face has been kissed by at least eight hundred women. What's the big deal?"
"Oh … that's good …" Park Ji-yeon scratched her head, "Oni will have to work harder tonight. We'll switch shifts tomorrow morning."
"You should rest. Bao Lan said she'll come in the second half of the night."
Walking into Park Soyeon's ward, Li Juli looked at Park Soyeon who was in a deep sleep. Then, she turned her head and looked at Tang Jinyan's back.
He was still standing in front of the window, looking at the rain outside. He stood there like a pine tree, not moving at all.
Seeing him like this today, she felt that he was very familiar with him.
He must be thinking about Jung Eun-thi. She could tell that he really liked her.
Li Juli did not understand why he did not chase after her to Pusan. Perhaps, as he said, there were too many hidden problems between them. He knew that there would be no result if he went there.
However, if it were any other man, he would give it a try regardless of the consequences.
She could only say that he was too rational. Even when he was in a violent mood, he could still analyze calmly and see the results clearly.
Only such a person could turn the tide in such an impossible situation and help them turn over a new leaf.
However, it was a pity that he was not a god after all. He put all his effort into their affairs and neglected the hidden dangers of his own feelings, resulting in such an unbearable ending.
Li Juli walked forward, picked up the lunchbox that he had casually thrown on the table, and threw it into the trash can.
Then, she opened a bottle of mineral water and handed it over, "OPPA, have some water."
Tang Jinyan took the water and looked at Li Juli's delicate face seriously. He laughed self-deprecatingly, "Now you guys don't even have the prefix and just call yourselves OPPA?
I thought that Zhiyan was too young and had a loose tongue. Even you are like this … I've always thought that you were the calmest among the sisters. "
"It's only right," Li Juli replied calmly.
Actually, this was not normal at all.
Generally speaking, there were only three situations where a person would call themselves OPPA without the prefix: biological brother, lover brother, and fan to idol.
What kind of relationship did they belong to?
Tang Jinyan looked at the rain with a melancholy expression and said in a low voice, "I should have heard this form of address from someone a long time ago. Unfortunately … she never called me that, and I never paid attention to it.
Therefore, there have always been a lot of hidden problems between us. Now that I'm standing here quietly, I'm slowly thinking things through. "
Li Juli stood beside him and looked at the rain without replying.
Tang Jinyan stood there quietly for a long time before suddenly saying, "Although we don't talk much, we've been spiritually connected for a long time."
Li Juli was stunned and remained silent.
Tang Jinyan laughed, "A few months ago, the people from the Gaoyang Procuratorate secretly investigated me. Were they from your family?"
Li Juli was a little embarrassed, "So I didn't manage to hide it from OPPA.
OPPA doesn't blame me? "
"I have nothing to do with Gaoyang at all. It's baffling that the Gaoyang Procuratorate would cross the line to investigate me. I noticed that you're the only person I know who's from Gaoyang, so I understood immediately." Tang Jinyan laughed, "It's probably because of Soyeon, right?"
"Yes … at that time, I was worried about you." Li Juli whispered, "But … after investigating a little, I actually admire you.
When I teased Soyeon about you, I was the one who led the conversation more. "
"It's only right that you care about Soyeon, so I didn't take it seriously." Tang Jinyan asked curiously, "But what do you admire about me?"
Li Juli looked at the rain quietly outside the window and didn't speak for a long time. She seemed to be organizing her thoughts.
Tang Jinyan didn't rush her, and both of them watched the rain quietly.
Li Juli has a strange trait. She always seems to be able to calm people down with her. But Tang Jinyan knew that this woman was crazier than anyone else when she was in a band a few years ago. Now, she seems to have experienced a lot of growth.
Li Juli suddenly said, "The Republic of Korea promotes itself as a democratic country, and most people in the world think so too.
Does OPPA think so? "
Tang Jinyan laughed and said, "Although I don't really understand what democracy is, South Korea doesn't give me the feeling that it's very democratic."
"OPPA is from China, and they have been in Seoul ever since they arrived in Korea. Maybe they don't understand the special feelings the Chinese have towards Seoul."
Li Juli continued, "The truth is, there's no one in China who doesn't want to go to Seoul, and the people in Seoul are proud of it. They look down on other places and think that they are country bumpkins."
Tang Jinyan couldn't keep up with Li Juli and replied. "I also know a thing or two about it."
Why did those Busan guys want to come to Seoul to claim their territory?
What's wrong with being a local tycoon in Pusan? The money they earn there is not any lesser than Seoul.
If Tang Jinyan could become the king of Pusan, he would not want to go to Seoul to eat dust.
But the Seven Stars want to go to Seoul. They had been doing this for many years because of their feelings towards Seoul.
It might sound funny, but it's not an exaggeration. This feeling exists in every Korean's heart, and it has never been removed or weakened.
"But it's not easy for ordinary people to go to Seoul."
Li Juli chuckled. "Do you know what are the conditions to be transferred from Gaoyang Procuratorate to Seoul's Procuratorate?"
"What are the conditions?"
"You either have to have access to Seoul's genealogical records or have the support of a political party." Li Juli laughed. "Isn't it funny? Democratic societies rely on genealogical records."
This time, Tang Jinyan finally connected the two topics she wanted to talk about. So this was what she wanted to talk about.
He laughed. "This is the first time I've heard of this. It's funny."
Li Juli's eyes looked a little misty. "I've wanted to be an artiste since I was young, and I've thought of many ways to do this. I've studied acting, become a model, join a band, become a face artist … You must know that the modelling industry is the dirtiest industry. If it wasn't for my father, I would have been dead by now … Do you think OPPA will think I'm greedy for fame and glory?"
Tang Jinyan paused for a moment. "You don't look like it.
But why are you doing this? "
Li Juli said word by word: "Because being an artist is one of the few professions in Korea. You can rely on your own hard work to achieve success in Seoul without looking at genealogies, relying on the chaebols and political parties."
Tang Jinyan nodded thoughtfully.
"That's why I admire you. Even my father admires you."
Li Juli replied softly: "Don't even talk about Zongpu. You're not even a Korean, but you relied on your own hands to create such a huge business in Seoul. How many elites are afraid of you?
We are not as good as you. "
Tang Jinyan laughed. "I'm just using my own methods. What's there to admire?"
"Everyone has their own dreams, and everyone has their own helplessness. Whose methods are better than others?"
Li Juli said softly. "If you can grow up in a scholarly family, who would be willing to risk their lives?"
Tang Jinyan laughed. "Even I think I'm born to be in the underworld. You're really good at finding excuses for me."
Li Juli said softly, "OPPA. I took so many detours and finally joined T-Ara. I found a group of like-minded sisters. We worked hard together and watched T-Ara rise step by step. I always thought I was sleeping in the most beautiful dream all these years.
But this time, I watched as it fell into despair. I woke up from a beautiful dream with cries, surrounded by a haze. I once thought that I would sink into the darkness forever, without a trace of light … OPPA had done a lot of bad things. Perhaps it had always been a shadow, but so what?
To us, OPPA is the most dazzling light in our hearts. "
Tang Jinyan's heart trembled. He turned his head seriously and met Li Juli's gentle gaze.
In his entire life, he had never thought that in the boundless darkness, he would one day become … the most dazzling light in other people's hearts.
