After Tang Jinyan picked up the phone, he became very quiet. His gaze fell faintly outside the car window, and he did not say a word.
Of course, Han Eun-kyung could sense it. She thought that he was in trouble, so she asked cautiously, "Is OPPA in trouble?
Is there anything we can help with? "
Tang Jinyan was amused and laughed. "You guys?
Help me? "
Han Eun-kyung also knew that it was a little funny that they really wanted to help him. She said weakly, "Don't look down on people …"
"No one can help me with this matter." Tang Jinyan closed his eyes and did not say anything else.
Even if he found a random passerby to say this, it would be impossible for him to say that he had feelings for Eun-thi in front of the T-Ara sisters. That would be a real weirdo.
He liked Eun-thi, and he could never avoid this question.
Even if so much time had passed, even if he had a girlfriend who was wholeheartedly devoted to him, that love was only hidden in the bottom of his heart and had never disappeared.
Once someone inadvertently mentioned something, even if it was a homonym, that name would immediately emerge from the depths of his heart and mess up his brain.
It was like the first ray of light that he saw when he opened his eyes in the dark, forever imprinted in his heart and could not be erased.
Park Soyeon knew. She always knew.
Her daily behavior was very contradictory. Sometimes she looked like she was competing to the end, and sometimes she always showed signs of wanting to retreat. In the end, it was because she knew that he still had feelings for Eun-thi in his heart.
Otherwise, why would she need to retreat?
He was especially worried about Park Soyeon's feelings. In Japan, he had already gone that far with Xu Xian, but in the end, he forced himself not to do it for real. Ultimately, it was because of this reason.
He felt that he also liked Soyeon, but his feelings for her were not the same as his feelings for Eun-thi. He could not tell the difference. In short, he did not want Soyeon to have the misconception that he was having an affair with someone else because he did not like her.
Both parties were very careful about each other's feelings because there was always a fuse between them that seemed like it would explode at the slightest touch. It was called Jung Eun-thi.
Just like what was said before, when he was with Eun-thi, there was always Park Soyeon in the middle. When he was with Park Soyeon, Eun-thi could never avoid him.
When the PR Head of Publicity said the word "Apink", there was a moment when he wanted to ask the other party to cancel the invitation, but in the end, he did not say it.
He had already avoided them many times. At the Acube company, when he met the film crew while shopping with Suyan, he had always avoided them.
This feeling, he felt it was as if he was a coward.
But now … as the president of a company, he had invited a group of artists to perform for him. Yet, he still had to avoid this?
Had the backbone of his entire life gone to his buttocks?
Therefore, he did not stop them and accepted the invitation of the head of publicity for the commercial performance.
Men always had some things to face.
*****
That night, Tang Jinyan mysteriously appeared in T-ara's dormitory with Han Eun-kyung. Everyone was very happy.
Park Soyeon happily pounced on him and kissed him in public.
They had already kissed in public on his birthday. If there was a first kiss, there would be a second. At this moment, everyone did not feel that the two were abusing each other. Their performance was very natural. Even Li Juli turned a blind eye to it. She only pulled Han Eun-kyung and asked, "Where did you pick him up from?"
"We met by accident at Eastern University."
Han Eun-kyung did not talk about the story between him and Lin Yuner and Xu Xian. She only smiled and said, "Professor Li Xuanhe said in public that OPPA is his favorite disciple!"
"No way!"
Park Soyeon, who was in the middle of a passionate kiss, almost bit Tang Jinyan's tongue. She jumped up and said, "Didn't he not even have a primary school diploma?"
Tang Jinyan said leisurely, "Why would a private disciple need a diploma?"
Han Eun-kyung stood at the side with her arms crossed. She looked at Tang Jinyan's expression and clicked her tongue in her heart.
Just a moment ago, he had clearly had a lot on his mind, but now, he couldn't see it at all. There was no trace of him pretending at all.
Han Eun-kyung admitted that she had studied acting for a lifetime. Even then, she might not be able to appear so calm when something was on his mind. She could only say that it was no wonder that he could be like a fish in water among a group of politicians. That was a real acting training environment …
"Oh, right." Tang Jinyan looked around and did not see Li Yalin. "Where's Little Eight?"
"Little Eight has officially left the team."
Park Suk Yeon pouted and said reluctantly, "The college entrance examination is next month, and she's already gone home to prepare for it."
"Her departure did not cause any waves in public opinion, right?"
"No, we specially held a farewell party. A lot of fans attended."
"That's good." Tang Jinyan sighed. "It's a good thing. We should give her our blessings."
"Yeah." Everyone nodded.
After all, it was the departure of a member. The team had gone from a strong team of eight to a team of six in the early stages of their debut. The past two years were like a dream.
They were all women. After all, they were a little sentimental. For a moment, no one was in the mood to talk.
Tang Jinyan stretched lazily. "Don't be so sentimental.
OPPA is hungry! "
The girls shook their heads and laughed. They knew that he was trying to ease the atmosphere. Han Eun-kyung asked, "Does OPPA want to have a meal with everyone or have a candlelight dinner with your family?"
"It's up to you to eat …" Tang Jinyan suddenly winked at her. "I thought of something that you can help me with."
Han En Jing was startled, but she was very happy in her heart. She said happily, "There are some things that I can help you with!
Just tell me! "
Tang Jinyan rubbed his chin. "Since Little Eight is not here, is there an extra bed?"
Han Eun-kyung did not understand. "Yes, why?"
Tang Jinyan was very sincere. "Please sleep in that bed tonight."
Park Soyeon's face quickly turned red. She turned her head away awkwardly and did not say anything.
The girls were stunned for a while. One by one, they realized that this guy wanted to stay the night!
He wanted to chase Eun-kyung, who was sleeping in the same room as Soyeon, to another room to sleep!
It seemed a little too much, but no one reacted. After all, it was him …
He said that he wanted everyone to forget about that incident and that they did not owe him anything. However, as long as they had a little conscience, they would not be able to completely forget about it and pretend that it did not happen. What would that make them?
Why did everyone let their guard down around him and let him enter and leave the dormitory as he pleased? They were so familiar with him that they did not care about him getting them all drunk. Weren't they afraid that something would happen?
Was it just because of trust?
What a joke. Who would trust the character of a triad without any precaution?
It was nothing more than the subconscious thought that they would repay him if something happened. This was the fundamental reason why they let their guard down.
Even Han Eun-kyung, who seemed to have been bullied, just smiled after she realized what was going on. "No problem. Don't be too loud at night." She glanced at Li Juli faintly. "Otherwise, some people won't be able to sleep."
Li Juli crossed her arms and said expressionlessly, "Don't remove Little Eight's bed from now on. Who knows … Eun-kyung might want to stay there."
Tang Jinyan did not do anything too loud as everyone expected. In fact, T-ara's dormitory was very quiet that night, even quieter than usual. Usually, some people would occasionally open the door to get some water or something. But tonight, everyone was hiding so well that not even the sound of the door opening could be heard.
In this quiet atmosphere, Park Soyeon leaned on Tang Jinyan's chest and asked in a low voice, "Is there something on your mind?"
Tang Jinyan was stunned. "Why do you ask?"
"Although you seem to be fine …" Park Soyeon blinked. "But I'm the person who sleeps beside you. How can you hide it from me?"
Tang Jinyan asked humbly, "Uh, is there anything wrong?"
Park Soyeon laughed. "You … are full of beast-like desires. You've already been fooling around. How can you hug me and chat with a kind face like today?"
"Huh?"
Tang Jinyan did not expect to be exposed because of this. He did not know whether to laugh or cry. "My Su Yuan is so smart."
"Hmph …"
"It's nothing …" Tang Jinyan stopped smiling and said in a low voice, "I don't believe there's anything in this world that can't be stopped!"
