Chapter Sixteen: Check Your Unread Messages
ed on August 28th and September 4th respectively.After finishing the OST recording, I returned to the set to continue working. Lately, the filming schedule has been quite demanding, with work often e...Before long, several people including Wu Shixun who had been watching from the sidelines also ran over. Six EXO members celebrated excitedly together.
Looking at the expressions, even Chi Jingyuan himself doesn't seem to have many members who look happy.
Winning the gold medal came with an acceptance ceremony, where several EXO members went to photobomb. The award presenter was Beast's Yong Junhyung, who hung the gold medal around Park Jung-won's neck and conducted a brief interview, asking about his feelings on winning first place.
To be honest, his mood was very calm, even with a feeling that being here with these male idols shooting arrows wasn't competitive but rather bullying.
"Inside, thanks to my teammates, without their efforts we definitely wouldn't have won first place."
Touching the gilded badge in his hand, which looked average at best, Chi Jingyuan smiled and answered a few questions. The other members chimed in with some jokes, and the interview came to an end.
During the EXO interview, among the artists, the male archer's performance just now was also a hot topic of discussion.
"Oh Jia, you're so handsome! I think I'm becoming a Yuan fan."
Sitting in her seat, Kim So-hyun watched EXO and Ji Chang-wook being interviewed from afar. She couldn't help but sigh with a blush, covering her face with both hands as if embarrassed.
"You're too late, I'm already a fan of Yuanoppa."
Wu Xiaorong glanced disdainfully at Jin Nanzhu, let out a light hum to declare her fandom.
Sun Na-eun remained silent, playing with her fingers while looking down. She occasionally glanced up in the direction of the interview.
"When I remember you weren't very close to them before, were you" Kim Nam Joo looked at her and asked.
"Just now, can't it"
Wu Xia-rong let out a soft hum and then said to Zheng Eun-ji in front of her, "Eun-ji Oni, what does it feel like to film a kissing scene with such a handsome boy"
“…………”
When asked this somewhat embarrassing question, Jung Eun-ji gave her a sideways glance and pursed her lips: "That's it, nothing much. Summer, don't look at him because he looks good, his personality is very annoying, and he's particularly vicious in private."
"As long as he's handsome, I don't care what his personality is like. Besides, oppa you…"
Wu Xia Rong didn't mind at all, and even wanted to defend her new idol from attacking her older sister. But then she suddenly remembered something and didn't continue speaking. Instead, she said in a flattering tone: "Older sister, you and Yuanoppa are so close, maybe we could go out together sometime."
"I'll invite him out for a meal next time, and bring you along." Jeong Eun-ji waved her hand dismissively.
Given her relationship with Chi Jingyuan, it's truly a small case.
"I'm going too, take me one as well." Kim Nam-joo, who was listening in the audience, raised her hand and quickly signed up.
After a few words of conversation, Jeong Eun Ji glanced at Son Na Eun, taking in her reaction completely. A knowing look flashed in her eyes, and she smoothly changed the subject.
It's already past 1 p.m., we've been filming since around 6 or 7 a.m. Basically, the artists haven't eaten much throughout the day. Now it's time for a break and meal.
Lunch was a simple meal prepared by the program team. Everyone, regardless of their popularity, ate ramen equally.
That's really simple.
Within EXO, the members were assigned tasks. Four people were in charge of instant noodles, and two people got water. They gathered quickly and started eating together.
During mealtime, the artists didn't sit together but were scattered in various groups. EXO chose a corner that blocked a lot of views as their dining spot.
When eating, it's easy to reveal some not-so-good expressions. As an idol, naturally you want to hide from the fans' gaze at this time.
Only in such a remote corner, Chi Jingyuan had just eaten a few bites when he felt several groups of female idols passing by their front.
Sometimes after passing by, they will unconsciously glance back.
Several members who witnessed it also understood, they looked at each other and with full cheeks from eating, a playful smile appeared on their faces.
"Who do you think they're coming for"
Luhan took the initiative to crack a joke.
"Need I even ask It's definitely Jingyuan, he's the archery prince now."
Wu Shih-hsien came up with a very sour and unpleasant remark.
"Such a low nickname you came up with"
Chi Jingyuan ate a mouthful of noodles, frowned and glanced at him.
"Annie, it seems like I just heard another girl group mention a nickname they gave you."
Wu Shih-hsien couldn't help but laugh, Chi Jingyuan's mouth twitched, not knowing what to say.
A few minutes later, everyone had finished eating and put the trash into a bag. As the maknae, Park Ji-sung, was just about to take the trash bag out, two girls came up to him.
"Annyeonghaseyo, I'm Rabow's Jin Kyung."
"Annyeonghaseyo, I'm rabow Kim Jisook."
"Inside, senior Anihaseyo, we are EXO." Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
XO's six people wiped their mouths and stood up, bowing.
The two members of rabow waved and smiled, returning the gesture.
Ji Jingyuan keenly noticed that after the idol named Kim Jisook arrived, she exchanged glances with Wu Shixun, appearing more familiar.
I reckon she's the ambiguous object of affection that Wu Shihun mentioned to Jiyeong recently.
Seeing these two people, especially Jin Caijing, Chi Jingyuan pursed his lips.
Kim Jae-gyeong is the female idol who previously got in touch with Ji-won through Woo Shi-hun. Afterwards, she even sent several messages to greet him, but Ji-won was dating someone at the time and wasn't interested in her. Besides, she was much older than him, so he just casually replied a few times before stopping all contact.
I didn't expect that they wouldn't seem unhappy, but instead came to me proactively today.
Although it was rather remote, with fans still watching from the stands, the two didn't say much. They just exchanged a greeting and left. However, before leaving, Kim Caijing smiled specifically at Ji Jingyuan and added, "Yuanxi, if you have time next time, can you check your unread messages"
"Yes, senior, of course."
Chi Jingyuan smiled and nodded in agreement.
After dinner and a rest, the recording of the second half began.
Throughout the second half, Ji Jingyuan did not participate in any segments. He had already had enough screen time for this period, maintaining a low profile throughout the entire process and acting as an observer once. Only when the camera occasionally focused on him would he give some reactions.
The second half of the recording was uneventful for EXO. Besides Tao winning a silver medal in the men's high jump, there wasn't much else noteworthy.
After the recording ended and they returned to the waiting room, Kim Ah-young and Lee Hui-li, who had been in almost every shot with EXO, took the initiative to come over and exchanged contact information with Ji Chang-wook.
