126: Chapter 126 The Super Handsome Liu Zijun

In the lobby of SM Entertainment Company, the clamor had not dissipated; instead, it had become even more lively.

Im Yoona tightly held Choi Sulli's hand, clearly feeling the coldness and trembling of the girl's palm from her fingertips.

Undried teardrops still hung from Choi Sulli's eyelashes, her nose was red, and she sobbed from time to time; that thrilling scene just now had clearly frightened her badly.

Im Yoona pulled a tissue from her bag and carefully wiped away the remaining tears on her cheeks, her tone so gentle it could drip with water.

"Don't worry, don't be afraid anymore. Oppa is so amazing, isn't everything fine now?"

Then she tightly hugged Choi Sulli and raised her hand to gently pat Choi Sulli's back, soothing her with gentle movements.

"Look, oppa easily subdued five thugs; nothing will happen to him, he's that incredible."

Choi Sulli sniffled and looked at Im Yoona with teary eyes, nodding her head.

At that moment just now, when she saw the steel pipes and daggers swinging towards Liu Zijun, her heart almost jumped out of her throat, and her mind went blank, leaving only endless fear.

But in the blink of an eye, Liu Zijun had neatly settled everything.

That upright back, that sharp gaze, and the decisiveness when he made his move replayed in her mind now; the fear gradually faded, replaced by an inexpressible admiration.

Choi Sulli's voice carried a sob, yet it couldn't hide the pride in her tone.

"Mhm... oppa is so amazing!"

"When he stood in front of us just now, he was just like a superhero!"

Im Yoona rubbed her hair, her eyes full of doting.

"Silly girl! Oppa promised us that he wouldn't do dangerous things anymore. And you forgot, he's been through so much before; a small scene like this wouldn't trouble him at all."

Sunny, who was nearby, suddenly leaned in and whispered to the two, "Yoona! You're really good to your big unnie!"

"And Seol-ri! You're the unnie One of Liu Zijun's home! What are we going to do if you're such a crybaby?"

Im Yoona suddenly shouted, "Ya!"

Meanwhile, Choi Sulli broke into a smile through her tears, nearly blowing a snot bubble.

Kim Taeyeon patted Choi Sulli's back and gave Sunny a thumbs-up—you've still got your ways!

As they were speaking, Victoria Song and Luna also hurried over.

Victoria Song's face was full of anxiety as she grabbed Seol-ri and looked her up and down, asking, "Seol-ri, are you okay? Were you scared? We heard something happened outside just now, and it scared us to death!"

Choi Sulli shook her head, a hint of lingering fear still in her eyes as she looked at Victoria Song.

"unnie, I'm fine. Thanks to oppa, he protected me, as well as Bae Joohyun and Kang Seulgi."

Luna patted her chest, looking shaken.

"My god, when I heard the screaming outside from the practice room just now, I thought something huge had happened. I didn't expect someone to attack!

Joon oppa is just too cool, taking on five people alone—it's like something out of a movie!"

Krystal Jung didn't speak, but her eyes were filled with worry!

While they were talking, Im Yoona's phone rang; it was Liu Zijun calling.

She quickly answered the phone: "Oppa, how are you? Are you okay?"

Liu Zijun's gentle voice came from the other end: "I'm fine, don't worry. The police have already taken them away; I'll come back after I'm done processing things here.

You guys look after Seol-ri well, don't let her be afraid anymore."

Im Yoona laughed, "Got it, my big unnie isn't that scared anymore; she's even telling us how handsome you were just now. Come back early after you're done, we're all waiting for you."

Her words made Liu Zijun on the other end pause, and even more so, they made the girls nearby burst into laughter instantly.

Hanging up the phone, Im Yoona waved her phone at Choi Sulli: "Big unnie! You heard that, right? Oppa said he's fine and will be back after giving his statement. Let's go back to the practice room first; staying here isn't the way."

Choi Sulli nodded and acted cute shyly, "Yoona Unnie!"

Then, led by Im Yoona, she followed Victoria Song and the others toward the practice room.

Walking along, the girls still couldn't help but look back at the lobby entrance.

Meanwhile, in the hallway of the trainee floor, Bae Joohyun and Kang Seulgi were being pulled along quickly by the trainee manager, Lee Mi-yeon.

Lee Mi-yeon's expression was somewhat serious as she walked and said, "Are you two okay? It was so chaotic outside just now, it really scared me. Luckily you're fine. Hurry back to the practice room, don't linger here."

Bae Joohyun's face was as pale as a sheet, her lips tightly pursed, and her hands instinctively clutched the hem of her clothes.

The scene just now replayed in her mind like slow-motion movie footage: the thugs' fierce eyes, the swinging steel pipes and daggers, the back of Liu Zijun as he stood in front of them without hesitation, his neat counter-attack moves...

Every frame left her with lingering fear; even now, her body was still trembling slightly, and she couldn't say a word.

You know, she's such a scaredy-cat!

Kang Seulgi wasn't doing much better, her face still showing a shaken expression, but compared to Bae Joohyun, she was clearly a bit more composed.

She pressed close to Bae Joohyun and comforted her in a small voice, "unnie, don't be afraid anymore, we're safe now. Elder Brother Liu Zijun subdued all the bad guys."

"He was so handsome!"

The two had just reached the practice room door when the trainees inside immediately surrounded them.

The practice room was already buzzing with discussion because of the commotion outside, and seeing them return, it instantly exploded with chatter.

"Joo-hyun unnie! Are you guys okay? What exactly happened outside just now? We were worried to death!"

Kim Ye-rim was the first to rush up, grabbing Bae Joohyun's arm, her eyes full of anxiety.

Another trainee, Lee Su-jeong, also approached, her face full of curiosity.

"Yeah, yeah, we heard screams outside just now, and the sound of things falling. What on earth happened?"

Kang Seulgi took a deep breath, steadied herself, and suddenly gestured vividly, saying, "Just now, we were at the entrance with Elder Brother Liu Zijun and Seol-ri Sunbae getting ready to buy coffee, when suddenly five bad guys rushed out with steel pipes and daggers, charging toward us!"

"Wow!"

The trainees exclaimed one after another, their faces full of disbelief.

"And then? And then?"

Park Soo-Young pressed for more, her eyes wide and round.

Kang Seulgi's eyes instantly lit up, and speaking to this point, her tone was full of admiration.

"Thanks to Elder Brother Liu Zijun! His reaction was incredibly fast; he immediately protected Joo-hyun unnie and me behind him, and then took on those five bad guys alone!

You guys have no idea, oppa was so cool!

Super handsome! Before I could even react, he went swish swish swish and subdued all five bad guys. He was even cooler than Senior Won Bin in 'The Man from Nowhere'!"

Son Seung-wan's eyes widened, full of amazement: "Really? One against five? And that fast?"

Kang Seulgi nodded vigorously and gestured even more excitedly.

"Of course it's true! Just like this, swish swish swish, those five bad guys were all knocked to the ground instantly! I was just dazed watching it!"
