117: Foodie Duo

Song Yuqi patted her shoulder and comforted her, “Come on, it’s one cut whether you stick your head out or pull it back. The sooner you die, the sooner you can reincarnate.”

“Yah! If SJ disbanded on the spot, would you still have that attitude?”

“Alright, alright, they’ll disband in a bit, and I definitely won’t be sad.”

Song Yuqi was just a fangirl, not someone chasing a husband. If they disbanded, she’d just switch to another group and fangirl just as enthusiastically. In her eyes, it was nothing.

“Hmph! You think I believe you?”

Cho Mi-yeon was truly exasperated, covering her face and saying, “I don’t know if you believe me, but if word of this got out, SJ fans would tear us apart.”

She thought she was crazy enough, but these two were even crazier.

“Such a big deal, an announcement should be coming out soon. Just wait!” Actually, Song Yuqi still hoped she would withdraw.

In her heart, Xu Zhiyou had always been playing in the big leagues. For her to suddenly be lumped together with herself, Song Yuqi was also feeling flustered.

Later, when Xu Zhiyou performed on stage and suddenly frowned, Song Yuqi would immediately trip over her own feet and fall on the spot for her to see.

No choice, the pressure was too immense.

“Sigh! I hope so, but Rainie, wouldn’t you be sad if she left the group?” Minnie found Song Yuqi’s reaction somewhat surreal.

She had met Xu Zhiyou through Song Yuqi. Shouldn’t Song Yuqi’s reaction be stronger than hers? Song Yuqi was a proper fangirl after all.

“Sad about what? If she leaves the group, I’ll have more good songs to listen to. I’ll be too happy.”

“Yah!”

Minnie was truly fuming. This girl still didn’t understand that once Xu Zhiyou left the group, she wouldn’t be dabbling in this industry anymore.

“Don’t yell at me. Besides, how do you know she’ll definitely leave the group? All signs indicate she’s not the type of person to be irresponsible.”

“That’s right, Minnie. If Zoe was the type of person to just leave, why would she give up her part? We just need to wait for the announcement.”

Minnie calmed down and thought about it, realizing they had a point. “Then you guys practice. I’m not in the mood today. I’ll wait for the announcement.”

Song Yuqi shrugged like a puppy, and Cho Mi-yeon also silently shook her head. These fangirls were indeed hard to fathom. The two of them continued practicing.

...

“Yoona, do you know what’s going on with Zoe?” Kim Taeyeon asked Lim Yoona the moment she saw the news.

“How would I know? Her phone isn’t going through.” If she didn’t know Kim Ji-soo and the others weren’t around, she would have definitely gone over there.

This whole thing, everything was fine a few days ago, then suddenly this video came out. That’s why those editors are so hateful.

Cutting off the beginning and end, what can you even tell? It’s just so annoying.

“Why don’t we ask Irene? She should know.” Kim Taeyeon thought of Bae Joo-hyun.

“You ask. I’m about to start filming here. After you ask, send me a KKT message.”

“Alright, you film. I’ll go ask.”

Meanwhile, Bae Joo-hyun, who they thought knew the situation, was also at a loss. What was going on? Her calls kept getting a busy signal.

“How is it? Still no answer?”

Bae Joo-hyun pushed Kang Seul-gi’s head to the side. Her hot breath was on Bae Joo-hyun’s face.

“I don’t know. I’ll call again later!”

Originally, she didn’t believe it, but Kang Seul-gi exaggerated the story about going to get the album, and now Bae Joo-hyun was also unsure of the truth.

“My Zoe, I haven’t even hugged her yet, and she’s just gone. Wuwu~”

Kim Yerim almost choked to death. She didn’t expect her Seulgi Unnie to be so weird. Even if she left the group, she wasn’t dead. Why put on such a show?

“Hahahaha~”

“Laugh, you even said you wanted to collaborate with her, Wendy…”

“Stop! She can’t possibly leave the group, believe me.” They were all insiders. If they didn’t have this much judgment, what were they even doing in the industry?

“Really!”

“Do I need to lie to you? And even if she leaves the group, it’s not like she’s dead. Your crying is a bit offensive. Change it, don’t do that next time!”

Bae Joo-hyun turned her head to secretly smile. Luckily, Xu Zhiyou didn’t see it, otherwise she might have been cried away on the spot.

...

Becky saw the trending topic and immediately contacted Kim Ji-soo to verify. The situation was largely the same. After getting the results, she went to Leah Unnie to discuss.

Leah Unnie was not only Xu Zhiyou’s manager but also BLACKPINK’s general manager, so she had to worry about the group’s affairs as well.

“Leah Unnie, Zoe…”

“I know. I asked the CEO, and he said to let her do a live broadcast to talk about this matter.” Leah Unnie’s thoughts were similar to Yang Hyun-suk’s.

Although those few performances in Japan were important, it wasn’t a comeback, so the impact wasn’t that great. It was a good opportunity to use her studies to create some buzz.

Overall, the benefits outweighed the drawbacks.

Xu Zhiyou also received a call from Leah Unnie, asking her to do a live broadcast to talk about the matter and also told her about the promotional plans.

She had also asked her mentor, who said it was fine, before she dared to agree. It would be so awkward if she got kicked out.

Artists often have some quirks. Some prefer to keep a low profile. What if the school didn’t want publicity? Who knew?

But what she didn’t expect was that her mentor told her she didn’t have time. It was truly unbelievable.

“Are we going to your place for the live broadcast next?”

“Uh, Chaeyoung, my home is a bit special, we can’t do a live broadcast there. Let’s find a hotel, you guys can understand that, right?”

Even her own phone had to be checked before she could bring it in, so a live broadcast was impossible.

“What kind of family do you have? So secretive!” Kim Jennie also became curious. With her style on the Peninsula, she was more like a chaebol than a chaebol.

“An ordinary family. It’s not that I don’t want to take you, but we need to do a live broadcast. Let’s do it another day!”

“Then…”

Kim Jennie still wanted to speak but was patted by Kim Ji-soo.

“Don’t pry. What good does asking so many questions do you? Are you going to marry her or something? Let’s go find a hotel!”

Xu Zhiyou thought, as expected of the quick-witted Kim Hit Ball. She wondered which scoundrel would be lucky enough to marry her in the future. Just thinking about her getting married made her heart ache.

“Sigh! It’s a pity I’m not a man, otherwise I’d marry all of you. Tsk tsk tsk, how satisfying!”

“Is your kidney enough?”

“Lalisa, why are you so evil!” Park Chaeyoung looked at her with disdain.

Kim Ji-soo and Kim Jennie also had similar looks.

“Enough. At worst, I’ll eat some kidney tonics. It definitely won’t…”

“Yah! You two, shut up.” One person covered each of their stinky mouths. Talking about this on the side of the road was a bit strange.

“Alright, I won’t say anything then. I still need to drive, let go.”

“Hahahahaha~”

Lisa saw their three shy expressions. No wonder Xu Zhiyou loved to tease them. Such beautiful women who easily blush, who wouldn’t want to be a little cheeky with them?

After arriving at the hotel, they first ate something. The company’s publicity needed to be prepared, so they took their time and weren’t in a hurry.

“Sigh! I originally wanted to leave quietly, but I didn’t expect it to cause such a stir. Chaeyoung, you need to change that habit of being so jumpy, got it?”

“Who told you to provoke me? We’ll see.”

“Hurry up and eat, you two. I’ve never seen anyone like you two. Weren’t you full just now? You eat as soon as you get somewhere.”

“Tch! Come on, Chaeyoung, let’s clink chicken feet. After finishing this, we have to get down to business!”

Kim Ji-soo looked at their deadpan expressions and felt a bit of a headache.
