Chapter 869 Envy
"Another SM collaboration... Hehe, it can't be Jingyuan Oppa~"

Hearing Ming Jingnan say this, Sun Caiying next to her smiled with gap teeth showing and made a joke.

The other members also thought that it couldn’t be Ji Jingyuan... because he had just worked with Yu Jeongyeon from the group, and normally, as a member of a boy group, he wouldn’t work with the same girl group member so frequently.

But what they never expected was that Ming Jingnan, who was surrounded in the middle, pursed his lips when he heard the words, secretly glanced around, and then nodded lightly: "Yeah... yes."

"what?"

"It really is?"

"Jingyuan Oppa again?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone except Minatozaki Sana widened their eyes in surprise and looked at Naoki Minami in disbelief.

...We just worked together, and now you’re here again?

Isn't he afraid of causing some scandals and making his fans unhappy? This oppa's fans are the craziest in the entire Kpop world.

“Why is there suddenly another collaboration song? Didn’t Jeongyeon just collaborate with her on “Really Really”? ” Lim Nayeon asked with a look of surprise and some confusion.

The other members also looked at her in surprise. Mingjing Nan was still a little hesitant and did not respond directly, while Minatozaki Sana, who knew the whole story, could not help but speak out: "Because..."

She stopped again after saying just one word.

She was really smart. Knowing the story of the "fireworks-engendered love", she had roughly guessed the situation through Mingjing Nan's expression, especially the song title and a few lyrics on the music score.

But it was because of this speculation that she was now unable to control her mood and became a little confused...

Fireworks to seal the relationship, 100-day anniversary, songwriting and collaboration, and pretending not to know...

It couldn't be the same as she guessed... This kind of thing...

"Sana, do you know?"

The other members also noticed that Minatozaki Sana was hesitant to speak, and Hirai Momo's eyes suddenly became sharp. She stared at her with a somewhat unfriendly tone, and also a bit of sadness of being abandoned.

Why do you know everything about Mina and Ji Jingyuan's relationship, but I know nothing about it? Aren't we good sisters from the Japanese line who have been together since we were trainees? We tell each other everything. It's fine if you don't tell others, but why am I, a member of the Japanese line, excluded?
Aren't we in the same group?
Feeling strongly betrayed, Momo Hirai was really angry.

Feeling her good sister's emotions, Minatozaki Sana's mind became a little confused, and she didn't know how to explain it for a moment.

"because……"

Minatozaki Sana was speechless, and Mingjing Nan looked around and finally made a decision in his heart. Facing the curious and surprised eyes of the members, he spoke a little louder: "Because today... is the 100th day anniversary of our love..."

The matter of the collaboration song cannot be kept secret. Sooner or later everyone will know and hear it. Instead of letting them guess, it is better to tell some things.

Moreover, she was filled with emotion and happiness and at this moment, she had a strong desire to share... and show off.

...This kind of thing would bring unimaginable shock and emotion to any girl. It would be such a waste if she kept it to herself.

And since you have decided to make it public, then just tell the whole story openly, and be a little more detailed and sweet... This will also discourage some of the younger members who obviously have ulterior motives from doing so.

After taking a quick glance at the short face at the outermost edge of the crowd, who was listening attentively, Mingjing Nan looked at the indignant Hirai Momo. She understood the anger of this sister very well, and took the initiative to help Minatozaki Sana explain. The grandmother's voice was very apologetic, and she took the responsibility for the problem:

"It was because Sana happened to see me and Yuan before... so I told her, and I took the initiative to prevent her from leaking it... I'm sorry, MOMO~"

Mingjing Nan's explanation and apology made Hirai Momo look a little better, but looking at her expression and the downturned corners of her mouth, it was obvious that she still couldn't let it go and was very uncomfortable.

But at this time, several members nearby were already furious because of what Mingjing Nan said.

"The Hundred Days Anniversary?"

"Mina, you mean this collaboration is a gift for your anniversary."

"Could it be that Jingyuan Oppa wrote this song specifically for this anniversary?"

"Oh touch!"

Screams came one after another, and everyone was stunned by the way these two people played. Lin Nayeon opened her mouth wide, as if she had found a loophole: "...Mina, didn't you just say that you didn't know about the collaboration song?"

"because……"

Mingjing Nan hesitated for a moment and whispered, "Because I just found out... He never told me before."

“Ah?…” Lin Nayeon paused, her teeth frozen in place.

"Ouni!!!"

After hearing her explanation, Sun Caiying next to her couldn't help but yelled loudly and hugged Ming Jingnan's arm: "This is obviously Jingyuan Oppa's anniversary surprise for you... ah, this is too romantic."

Her tone was full of envy, but it sounded very sincere. She hugged Ming Jingnan and leaned close to him like a little child, as if she was really just very surprised and envious.

But the situation for the others was obviously not the same... apart from the common surprise and envy, everyone's expression also looked a little strange.

You two are really good at having fun, aren’t you?
And Oppa Chi Jingyuan wrote a collaboration song specifically for their anniversary and even created a surprise for them.
This is something that can only be seen in TV dramas. In real life, they have never seen or even heard of it...

What do you think of EXO, Twice, the profession of idols, work and career, and the company? ! It really makes people...

Jealous!
As if she sensed the subtlety of the atmosphere and the members' psychology, Minatozaki Sana pursed her lips and glanced at them with a complicated expression, thinking in her heart... there's much more to it than this.

"Is this the song?" Yu Jeongyeon looked at the music score in Ming Jingnan's hand curiously.

"Hmm..." Ming Jingnan nodded and took out the music score in his hand.

"Japanese song?" Several people gathered around with curiosity, and immediately noticed the Japanese words that occupied a major position in the song. Then they shouted in surprise, "No way, Jingyuan Oppa also wrote a Japanese song?"

Anyone who sees that it is a Japanese song will know that it was specially made for Minami Naoi.

Fortunately, there is a Korean translation below, so those who are not very good at Japanese can understand the song title and lyrics.

"U...chi...age...hanabi...fireworks..." Although Lin Nayeon felt bitter in her heart, her strong curiosity still drove her to come over and pronounce the song title word by word in her poor Japanese. She then looked at the Japanese members in confusion: "What does this mean?"

"What I mean is... uh, let me think..." At this time, Momo Hirai temporarily put aside the grievances and dissatisfaction in her heart, and stood behind everyone a little awkwardly. When she heard Lin Nayeon's question, she took the initiative to explain.

But she got stuck as if she had forgotten what she was talking about. She was awkwardly silent for a few seconds before she finally remembered: "Oh, yes, it means 'fireworks launched into the air', which refers to a type of fireworks... but to put it simply, just think of it as 'fireworks launched into the air'."

“Oh…” Lim Nayeon nodded, not quite understanding. She leaned over to look at the translation of a few lines of lyrics and asked curiously, “Why would they collaborate on a song with this theme… I remember that the fireworks display in Japan was in the summer, but now it’s winter and the New Year’s Eve is coming soon.”

Speaking of the real key point hidden in it, even though Mingjing Nan felt infinite sweetness in her heart, she was still a little embarrassed to say it.

Minatozaki Sana was silent for a while and then managed her expression. She exchanged glances with Mingjing Minami. She didn't know why she felt a little bitter in her heart, but she kept a calm face and explained naturally: "Because... Mina-chan, the day you were with Jingyuan Oppa was the fireworks festival..."

"what?"

"qingjia?"

Everyone screamed in surprise when they heard it, with a look of disbelief on their faces. Except for Minatozaki Sana, everyone was hearing this for the first time.

Especially when Lin Nayeon asked this question, her pair of buck teeth were stuck there, unable to close.

"By the way, we've never heard you talk about how you and Jingyuan oppa got together. I remember you didn't seem to have much interaction before. Was it because of the fireworks festival? When was it?"

Sun Caiying was extremely curious. She hugged Ming Jingnan eagerly and began to mutter: "Are there any photos? Such a romantic thing must have taken a lot of photos."

She said what everyone around her wanted to ask. The members of Twice were already wondering how Mingjing Nan and Ji Jingyuan got together, and they were very curious and gossipy about the details and the whole process.

Especially Zhou Ziyu...

When she heard what Ming Jingnan and Chi Jingyuan had just sung together about their love anniversary, she felt extremely upset. Even though she was a person who was always bullied, she really wanted to get up and leave with a sullen look on her face... She even slammed the door heavily before leaving to show how unhappy she was.

But she forced herself to be patient, because if she did so, she would appear to be a little frustrated and rude, as if she was admitting that she had lost...

She wouldn't admit she lost...

Although I have tried hard recently and deliberately not to contact him, I am just using this way to tell him my dissatisfaction and let him know that I am no longer the child I used to be… At the same time, I am also waiting for you, my girlfriend who has been my nth girlfriend, to become a passerby like the previous ones!!
At this point, Zhou Ziyu really wanted to know how she lost. How come the person she loved was snatched away by her without her noticing!
"Well...I took a few photos."

Now that she had come to this point, Mingjing Nan no longer hesitated or concealed anything. She took out her phone and opened the photo album. She had kept it for more than three months and had to take it out every few days to review the photos that she had only shown to Minatozaki Sana. At the same time, she tried her best to maintain a natural and non-boastful tone and began to talk softly:

"It was in mid-August. We were on holiday then, so I went home. He and XO happened to be attending SM's family concert in Osaka... so we went out together. There happened to be a fireworks festival at Yodogawa that day, so we went to watch it together."

Sun Caiying blinked her eyes, trying to figure out the key point, and smacked her lips: "Ouni, was it you who took the initiative to ask Jingyuan oppa out?"

Others also looked over... The meaning of this question is very obvious, it turns out that you are the one pursuing him~
Ming Jingnan, who was a little shy when talking about this before, now smiled sweetly, nodded frankly, and said softly: "Yeah."

There is nothing to be embarrassed about. Fight for the person you love and for your own love, and then successfully achieve your goal. The courage you mustered up at all costs has become a girl's song of praise and medal.

Even though you clearly like and want something or someone, you don't take any action or try to get it, and take everything for granted...you think you are just playing house.

Speaking of which... Nai Minami glanced at Minatozaki Sana.

This is all thanks to what Sana-chan said ~ we are such good sisters!
Zhou Ziyu was a little stunned at this moment... Although Ming Jingnan's voice was very light and soft, the firmness and calmness in it roared in her ears like a drum.

"Wow!"

"Ah~"

At this moment, exclamations of surprise and envy rang out one after another.

They gathered in a circle and saw the photos that Mingjingnan flipped through on his phone one by one.

A photo of a man and a woman in yukatas, one blue and one plain, holding hands and walking side by side in great harmony.

The photo shows the two of them wearing masks of Inari God and Adofu, one in front and one behind, going against the crowd, facing the sunset, and chasing and playing with the accompaniment of wind chimes on the roof.

The two of them were standing together, one on top and the other on the bottom, facing the camera very closely. They lifted up their masks and put them on their heads to reveal their true faces. They pulled each other's faces, tilted their eyes, stuck out their tongues, and made funny expressions.

On the coast of the sandbank, twinkling stars are shining in the distance. In the dim light, you can vaguely see small words on the beach, as well as a photo of two figures wearing yukatas, holding branches in their hands, standing together with smiles on their faces.

And a photo of the two of them snuggling together in front of a railing under the night sky filled with brilliant fireworks.

And the photos of her smiling sweetly and wildly at the camera even though her face was mottled with shadows cast by the flickering fireworks and her mood was changeable.

The smile in every photo is so natural, the composition in every photo is so perfect, and every photo is so romantic as if it can only be seen in anime full of beautiful fantasies... Every photo makes people so enviable.

Every new photo can cause a burst of exclamations and sighs...

Even if it is just a static photo, they can still feel the overflowing romance and beauty from it effortlessly. These ubiquitous romance and beauty are the ultimate pictures that only appear in dreams and fantasies for any girl who has a beautiful vision of youth.

So, after looking at a circle of photos, the initial excitement and cheers disappeared, and everyone fell into an eerie silence.

All the members, from Son Chaeyoung to Yu Jeongyeon, then to Lim Nayeon, Hirai Momo, Kim Dahyun, and even Park Jihyo, no matter what they think of Ji Kyung-won, whether they like him or hate him, or have no feelings at all, can feel the real, strong, and uncontrollable envy and bitterness emerging from the depths of their hearts at this moment.

It’s not because of who the people in it are...it’s just because of the primitive romance and the timeless touching and envy that are beyond words. This is the instinct deep in every girl’s heart.

But if we return to reality and think of today's collaboration song and the 100-day anniversary from these photos...suddenly, everyone feels a little uncomfortable in their hearts besides envy, and a bitter taste arises spontaneously.

Among them was Lin Nayeon, who was staring at the photo and suddenly had some divergent thoughts, such as "Can I jump in and take his place?", "If it were me, how should I compose the photo?", "Should I show my side face?", and Zhou Tzuyu, who had a strong sense of jealousy in her heart, her short face was shrunk, and her expression was a little difficult to control.

"Forehead……"

The atmosphere suddenly became a little subtle, and everyone seemed to have a few more worries all of a sudden. However, Yu Jeongyeon, who had always had a very good impression of Chi Jingyuan and felt that "no matter what it is, as long as this oppa does it, there is no problem", was the first to come to her senses. She smiled and broke the slightly awkward atmosphere. She shook the music score in her hand and looked at Ming Jingnan with great expectation:

"Mina must have downloaded the demo audio source... Why don't we listen to the song? I'm really curious about what song Jingyuan Oppa wrote with the theme of 'fireworks'..."

Mingjing Minami also clearly felt the change in atmosphere. Although she felt a little proud to notice the envy of other members, she, who had always been low-key, suddenly felt a surge of uneasiness and guilt in her heart, wondering if she had been a little too boastful today.

It’s all Yuan-chan’s fault!
She couldn't help but complain in her heart. It was all because of her boyfriend that she couldn't control her emotions today. Now she was in a dilemma...

As expected, it’s not really appropriate to let too many people know about this kind of thing... It’s best to communicate with my sisters like Minatozaki Sana in private.

But there was no way to avoid this song, he would have to hear it sooner or later. Ming Jingnan hummed when he heard it, and with a quick swipe of his slender fingers, he hid the eye-catching photo album and entered the music playback interface.

"Fireworks"

“I still think about it now…”

"Words written on the beach..."

It was just a beginning, and many people looked up at their phones in surprise.

Does it sound so... nice?

I originally thought that Chi Jingyuan just made a collaboration song to please Ming Jingnan and forced it to fit the theme of "fireworks"...

I didn't expect it to sound so good.

The soft piano sound and the gentle crooning voice echoed in the closed room. This prelude, this melody and this voice would catch the ears of anyone who heard them at any time.

After knowing the background of the story and seeing the romantic photos, everyone seemed to have a more special feeling when hearing this song again.

Among them, Minatozaki Sana, who had seemed relatively calm before, was suddenly stunned when she heard the melody and the lyrics, and she stood there.

Compared to other members who only had a quick glance at those photos, she was the one who knew the most about their relationship among everyone. She had seen these photos countless times during this period, and especially often heard Minami Naoi talk about some details of that day in person.

So she knows a lot of things that can't be seen in photos, and feels them more deeply than any other member.

For example, the phrase “Words written on the beach…”

She also knew what the two men had written stickily on the beach.

That phrase "…the sound of the last train"

Isn't it the Hanshin Line that I took when I left?

The phrase "Fireworks bloom in the night sky..."

Ah! That's enough.

Listening to the beautiful music, the deep envy that was originally hidden in her heart suddenly changed and turned into a feeling of irritation that was difficult to let go... She suddenly hated the feeling of being able to immediately understand every word and every lyric of the song, and the subtle tacit understanding of Chi Jingyuan's mood when he wrote these lyrics. She even couldn't help but imagine the picture in front of her eyes at the same time.

She felt more and more annoyed the more she listened, and she didn't like this feeling.

However, until I heard the last sentence, 'This summer must not be over yet.'

But she suddenly paused and fell into deep silence.

But Sana Minatozaki's reaction was not very obvious, because after the song ended, except for Yu Jeongyeon, Son Chaeyoung and Kim Dahyun who made a few remarks in amazement, everyone else became quiet like before, either surprised at the level of the song, or sad about the beauty of the story.

At this moment, Ming Jingnan's phone suddenly rang. The previous music playback interface was replaced by a call request that suddenly popped up. A call came in, and the caller's name was clearly displayed at the top of the screen:

"Yuan-chan~"
