233: Dead

Son Seung-wan finished reading the lyrics and music, then looked at her with a strange expression: "Zoe, I have a question..."

"Hey!" Xu Zhiyou interrupted her, "This shop has no after-sales service. If you have any questions, please hold them in. Thank you for your cooperation!"

"Huh???" Son Seung-wan was stunned for a moment.

She rolled her eyes and asked directly, "Will Yang Hyun-suk agree to give us this song?"

"Just tell me if you like it or not?"

"I like it! But this song is excellent, it's bound to make it onto the annual charts, and then..."

Xu Zhiyou raised her hand to stop her: "YG doesn't have a group suitable for this song, and besides, I'm not a company producer, so it's fine!"

"Let me see!" Park Chaeyoung, hearing this, took the lyrics and music and began to read them carefully.

The more she read, the more uncomfortable she felt. They both studied composition, so why was the gap so huge?

She looked at Kim Jennie and sighed, "I understand now why Jennie-oni has given up, sigh~"

Kim Jennie spread her hands: "It's okay, the heart, you get used to it after a few stabs."

Kang Seul-gi looked at the two of them, feeling confused. She poked Kim Ji-soo and asked, "What are they talking about?"

Kim Ji-soo felt the same way and explained helplessly, "Mortals trying to stand shoulder to shoulder with gods, they've just come to terms with reality!"

"Ah?" It would have been better if she hadn't explained.

After the explanation, Kang Seul-gi became even more confused: "What gibberish are you speaking? I know all the words, but why do they sound so psychedelic when put together?"

"Don't ask, you'll just feel inferior!"

"Huh???" Kang Seul-gi still wanted to ask, but Kim Yerim, who had finished reading the lyrics and music, couldn't help but speak: "Zoe..."

"Call me Unnie!" Xu Zhiyou slapped her on the back of the head, "No manners, don't you understand the order of seniority!"

"Huh???"

Not only Kim Yerim, but Kim Ji-soo and Kim Jennie also looked at her, feeling that those words coming from her mouth were so unbelievable.

Xu Zhiyou glared at the two of them: "What are you looking at? I'm just biased, if you don't like it, hold it in."

"Heh!" Kim Jennie's eyes were almost rolling to the heavens.

Kim Ji-soo, on the other hand, was more direct, giving her a thumbs-up and adding, "Shameless!"

Kim Yerim reacted, immediately pouncing into Bae Joo-hyun's arms, crying, "Irene, I got beaten up, boo hoo hoo~"

"Get away." Bae Joo-hyun pushed her aside in disgust, "Don't get in the way!"

She picked up the lyrics and music and read them carefully. The more she read, the more she liked them. After finishing, she walked up to Xu Zhiyou.

"We've been thinking about trying a dark and mature style, and this song of yours is perfect. Consider this my debt to you..."

"Hold on!" Xu Zhiyou interrupted her, "It's still the same thing, the more popular the song, the more profit I get. This is a win-win."

"Alright!" Bae Joo-hyun said so, but she didn't think that way in her heart.

But in her heart, she didn't think that way. Kpop doesn't lack excellent groups, but it lacks good songs.

After the five of Bae Joo-hyun left, Park Chaeyoung grabbed her head and started knocking and tapping.

Xu Zhiyou was extremely speechless: "Are you done or not? Move one more time and I'll kill you, believe it or not!"

Park Chaeyoung didn't speak, and knocked again. Xu Zhiyou really couldn't stand it: "Park Chaeyoung!"

"Mianhae!" Park Chaeyoung slid to her knees, clasped her hands together, and immediately admitted her mistake, "I'm just curious about the structure of your brain."

"Curious about your grandpa!"

Park Chaeyoung didn't take offense at all, looking at her curiously: "Did you really write that song in a few minutes?"

Xu Zhiyou gave her a big eye-roll: "Nonsense, do you think that's possible?"

"Mm!" Park Chaeyoung pinched her chin, making a thoughtful gesture.

"So don't listen to Dumpling Ni's nonsense..."

Park Chaeyoung nodded heavily, looked at her seriously, and said, "If it were you, it really might be possible."

"Scram~"

"Huh???"

"Move!" Xu Zhiyou shoved her aside, "Just seeing you makes me angry."

"Yah! That's too much... Ouch... Mianhae!"

Xu Zhiyou withdrew her hand, saying in disgust, "Do you have to force me to be rough? What a bad habit!"

"Aish!" Park Chaeyoung just felt a toothache.

"Hmm?"

"Aigoo!" She immediately put on a smiling face, "I was wondering if you wanted to take a bath, I'll go run the water."

"Scram~"

"Alrighty~"

Park Chaeyoung smoothly hid behind Lisa, fearing another unexpected hit to the back of her head.

"How embarrassing!" Lisa threw her off in disgust, said that, and then ran back to her room.

"Aish! Lalisa..."

"..."

At ten o'clock the next morning, Xu Zhiyou got up and came out, seeing Kim Ji-soo and the other three sitting neatly on the sofa.

"Zoe, are you alright?" Kim Ji-soo couldn't help but ask.

"Nonsense!" Xu Zhiyou rolled her eyes at her, "It's early in the morning, can I fly to the sky or something!"

Seeing her like this, Kim Ji-soo confirmed that she still didn't know about her embarrassing incident.

She quietly took out her phone and handed it to her: "You're trending again. Do you want to see?"

"What's trending?"

"You'll know when you see it." She threw the phone to her, got up, and ran back to her own room, "I still have things to put away, you all chat."

"Me too!" Kim Jennie was the second to run off.

"I..."

"What 'you'? Sit down." She pressed the slow-reacting Lisa and Park Chaeyoung back down to sit, "Am I a jinx? Are you so afraid of me!"

"Aniyo! No way, I really do have things to put away."

"Let me see what news it is that has you all so terrified... Aish!" When she opened her phone, it was a video of her acting class.

She plopped down on the sofa, constantly rubbing her hair, but didn't say a word, which made Park Chaeyoung and Lisa's hair stand on end.

"Pfft~" Kim Ji-soo and the other, watching this scene through the crack in the door, almost couldn't hold back their laughter.

"Zoe!" Park Chaeyoung saw her scratching her hair into a bird's nest and couldn't help but call out.

"Just die then! Don't bother me."

Park Chaeyoung suppressed her laughter and comforted her, "It's not that bad, it's just a little embarrassing, isn't it? I have experience with this! It'll be fine in a few days."

"Pffthahaha~"

Lisa could have held it in, but as soon as Park Chaeyoung said that, she couldn't hold back and burst out laughing.

Xu Zhiyou glared at her: "Is it that funny?"

"It's not funny, not funny at all." Lisa quickly made a zipping motion over her lips.

"Hmph!" She couldn't be bothered with her.

Just then, her own phone rang. Without even looking, she answered directly: "Yeoboseyo~"

A burst of an older woman's laughter came from the other side: "Zoe, why are you so funny, hahaha~"

Xu Zhiyou knew it was Lim Yoona as soon as she heard it: "Yoona Eonni, have you become irrelevant or something? So idle early in the morning."

"What's wrong, you're popular now and don't want to hang out with me anymore? So snobbish!"

"Get to the point if you have something to say, otherwise I'm hanging up!"

"Don't! Our film crew has a role that's perfect for you, it's practically tailor-made... beep beep..."

"Heh! So fragile, huh?" Lim Yoona muttered, looking at the call ended screen on her phone.

Her manager looked at her speechlessly: "Yoona, tell me, why do you go and provoke people?"
