The next morning, when everyone gathered around the table to have breakfast, Han Eun-kyung's heart skipped a beat when she saw the look in Tang Jinyan's eyes. She knew that something that had been hidden for a long time had been uncovered.
Tang Jinyan looked at her thoughtfully with a strange look in his eyes.
That enlarged family photo, even Zhi Yan only used it as a desktop, but Han Eun-kyung actually hung it on the wall.
This only proved one thing. In Han Eun-kyung's heart, only the T-ara with Tang Jinyan was the complete T-ara.
That was her obsession.
Last night, Park Ji-yeon really did sneak in and slept with the four of them together.
Tang Jinyan seemed to ask casually, "You were able to go to Jeju Island alone during the singing period. Did someone cover for you?"
Park Ji-yeon was not suspicious at all. "Yes, Eun-kyung helped me."
As soon as she said that, Tang Jinyan, Park Soyeon, and Li Juli all fell silent.
All this time, they thought that Zhi Yan was the one who had a crush on their brother-in-law. They did not expect that the one who hid it the deepest was Eun-kyung.
Perhaps Zhi Yan's feelings were mixed with a lot of things that could not be explained clearly. Furthermore, her feelings were often reflected in her feelings. As for Eunjung, she truly had a crush on him. She was like a pure white flower in school, silently looking at a certain school hunk. She hid everything in her heart, so much so that this group of teammates who thought they were so familiar with each other that they even knew the color of each other's breasts were all kept in the dark. Even Hyomin, who knew a thing or two about Eunjung, did not know when Eunjung had started having a crush on him.
At the dining table, Han Eun-kyung was at a loss for what to do under Tang Jinyan's stare. She hurriedly finished her breakfast and rushed into the kitchen after tidying up the bowls and chopsticks.
Tang Jinyan followed her in silently.
Park Soyeon and Li Juli looked at each other and shook their heads.
Han Eun-kyung was washing the dishes when she sensed someone following her in. She didn't need to turn her head to know who it was from the sound of the footsteps.
Han Eun-kyung stopped washing the dishes in the sink. She slowly exhaled and said, "Hanging that kind of photo is just to prove your importance to T-ara."
Tang Jinyan's voice came from behind, "But you're T-Ara."
Han Eun-kyung bit her lips and whispered, "Yes, you're very important to me.
We can't get up without you. "
"Is that all?" Tang Jinyan took a step forward, almost touching Han Eun-kyung's back.
Han Eun-kyung tensed up and froze for a few seconds. Seeing that Tang Jinyan did not make any further moves, she breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's all."
Tang Jinyan said, "I was about to hug you. Why didn't you dodge?"
Han Eun-kyung gritted her teeth and said, "If you want to sleep with me, I'll give it to you. What's there to dodge?"
Tang Jinyan said faintly, "You're indeed a straightforward and decisive woman."
Han Eun-kyung gritted her teeth and her body began to tremble.
Tang Jinyan said again, "But why is it that a man like you doesn't even dare to turn around and look into my eyes?"
Han Eun-kyung suddenly turned around and looked straight into his eyes.
Tang Jinyan stared at her quietly for a moment and suddenly smiled. "I only see an actress who has been in the industry for many years gritting her teeth and glaring at me fiercely, but she can't hide her blushing face."
Han Eun-kyung was stunned. She didn't know why, but the feeling of shortness of breath disappeared. She shook her head and smiled. "Okay, Tang Jinyan, I've had a crush on you for more than a year. Are you proud?"
"You've been in the industry for many years. Your aura is not bad. Why don't you dare to tell me this directly?"
"Why should I tell you? To give you food?" Han Eun-kyung said sarcastically, "Or is it because no one wants me, Han Eun-kyung, and I need to fight with my sisters for a husband?"
Tang Jinyan whispered, "It's because I said you're a handsome man when I first talked to you. That must have hurt you."
Han Eun-kyung was stunned and kept silent.
Tang Jinyan suddenly reached out and touched her short white hair. He whispered, "But don't you know that I even like cross-dressers, let alone a tomboy?"
Han Eun-kyung was stunned and let him touch her hair. She forced herself to calm down and said coldly, "The Ninth Masters said such sweet words. It's like collecting the signatures of interstellar players for Hyomin. It's touching, but in fact, it's obvious what dirty thoughts he has."
Tang Jinyan shook his head and said, "You might think that I'm trying to woo Hyomin, but what if I say that it's not because of that?"
Han Eun-kyung asked curiously, "Then what is it?"
"Because I know that Hyomin likes those things, so I helped her find them."
Tang Jinyan said seriously, "Since you think that T-Ara will only be complete with Tang Jinyan, then Tang Jinyan will definitely put in some effort for the things that T-Ara likes. Even if it's something a hundred times harder, he will still do it, let alone something as trivial as getting an autograph."
Han Eun-kyung was stunned for a while, then laughed and said, "Seems like we're thinking too much.
Wuli, the Ninth Masters is a sincere gentleman. "
Tang Jinyan thought for a while and sighed. "It's not that you're thinking too much. I also think that the photo is complete. It's awkward to have one less."
Han Eun-kyung stood there with a strange look on her face. After a while, she said, "You won't even let Bao Lan go?"
Tang Jinyan asked with interest, "So you're saying that it's normal for me to not let you go?"
Han Eun-kyung tilted her head. "That's not what I meant."
Tang Jinyan said word by word, "But I really won't let you go now, Han Eun-kyung."
Han Eun-kyung said calmly, "So you see, how would I dare to tell you?
No matter how much I like Tang Jinyan, I know that he's not a good person.
Sure enough, once he finds out, it'll become something that has been reserved. And the Ninth Masters will definitely get what they want, right? "
Tang Jinyan was silent for a while, then shook his head. "It's not like that."
"Then what is it?"
"I just … don't know how to face the future when all of you leave me one by one."
Han Eun-kyung was a little lost. After a while, she said, "All good things must come to an end. Even if I don't want to admit it, I know that T-ara will disband sooner or later. Or maybe it won't be publicly disbanded and we'll all go our separate ways."
"So what I want is for all of you to still be by my side even if T-ara disbands."
Han Eun-kyung asked in a daze, "Then … T-ara will always exist?"
Tang Jinyan said, "If that's the case, at least I'll always have a complete T-ara in my life. Even if we're old, we can still sit on the rattan chair in the backyard and you can still sing 'No. 9' to me."
Han Eun-kyung was lost in thought.
Tang Jinyan continued, "I can't force you or Bao Lan because this kind of wish can't be forced. If I force it, I'll only get a look of hatred. I won't get 'I need you, No. 9' … I see all of you as my family. I want to be together, not for those dirty thoughts.
To be honest, those thoughts … After watching 'Suyuan', I don't want to do it to anyone, let alone you. "
Han Eun-kyung looked up at him, her eyes a little blurred. "Yeah, I believe you now."
Tang Jinyan said in a low voice, "So I'm very grateful that you like me."
Han Eun-kyung mumbled, "Will you keep this wish forever?"
Tang Jinyan said seriously, "Yes."
Han Eun-kyung leaned on his chest slowly and said in a low voice, "If you can really do it, even if you want me and the others to accompany you, I'm willing."
