Chapter 885 Squeeze Down

"I'm gonna be a star~"

“I’m gonna be~~I’m-I’m gonna be.”

After sending the text message at the door, she walked up the floor and headed towards her dormitory. Lin Nayeon, who had been very quiet all the way, began to hum a song softly at some point. The song that she originally disliked echoed in the corridors around her, but she didn't think there was anything wrong with it. Her steps were still light and she followed the melody perfectly, and her whole body was swaying.

When you are in a good mood, even things you don’t like will seem pleasing to the eye.

After entering the password and walking into the dormitory, Lin Nayeon stood at the door to change her shoes. She looked at her wet pants and shoes, moved her wet toes a few times, and pouted her lips uncomfortably.

Although Chi Jingyuan gave her an umbrella, the rain was still too heavy and the wind was blowing. Even though she was very careful when she came back, her entire lower body was still soaked.

However, she didn't seem to care much, nor was she in a good mood. Compared to her wet socks and shoes, she was more concerned about the umbrella in her hand. After quickly changing her shoes, she threw them aside and ignored them. Instead, she looked at the umbrella in her hand. According to habit, she should put it at the door, but she seemed a little reluctant to do so. She held it in her hand, opening and closing it for a long time, before carefully putting it away and putting it there.

He walked into the living room humming a song with a floating heart, and the next second he bumped into Mingjing Nan who came out of the bathroom.

"Ouni is back..."

Ming Jingnan, who was wearing cotton pajamas, slippers, and a small pink towel tied on her head, greeted Lin Nayeon and blinked her eyes, looking at this sister who looked a little tired but had an obvious smile in her eyes.

"Inside~"

Lin Nayeon nodded and glanced at Mingjing Nan, who was very pink from head to toe.

Because of her own little thoughts, she felt a little guilty, although not much... But Lin Nayeon still wanted to take the initiative to change the subject and ask nonsense like "Whose turn is it to take a shower" to avoid Mingjing Nan asking about her experience just now.

But before she could say anything, she heard Ming Jingnan stroke his hair, looked at her with a smile and asked casually: "He went back?"

"..."

It was a very casual remark. Ming Jingnan obviously knew how Lin Nayeon came back. She probably said that because Chi Jingyuan had just sent her a text message.

It's normal for a man to send his girlfriend a gift and just mention it in a text message.

However, after hearing this, Lin Nayeon's expression suddenly froze and her whole body stiffened.

It was as if I was awakened from a dream.

It turned out that the reason why she was in such a good mood just now...all the so-called romance and substitution were actually her own imagination. When she stepped out of the beautiful picture she had constructed for herself and came to the reality, she found it was so naive.

…He is in a relationship, and his girlfriend is a member of his family.

Ming Jingnan just said a simple sentence, but Lin Nayeon, whose good mood was not affected at all by the heavy rain that soaked her shoes and socks, felt as if a basin of cold water was poured on her head.
She opened her mouth and felt her lips were a little heavy. She tried hard to show her rabbit teeth, forced a smile and nodded: "Yes, he... Jingyuan Oppa has gone back... Did he tell you?"

"Well, Yuan-chan sent me a text message before sending you back..."

Looking at the pink and tender Ming Jingnan with a gentle smile, it was hard to tell whether she was asking casually... or saying it on purpose.

But, no matter what, she was at a disadvantage both superficially and psychologically as soon as they met, and could only force herself to control her expression and say some nonsense while forcing a smile.
"I see...Mina, are you done with your bath?"

"I finished washing a long time ago, and just did a skin care~"

"Oh...whose turn is it now?"

"Let me think, Dahyun..."

"Oh, then I'll go take a look..."

After saying a few meaningless words, Lin Nayeon walked towards her room with a smile on her face under Ming Jingnan's clear gaze...but as soon as she turned around, the smile on her face could no longer be suppressed.

His eyebrows twitched, and the corner of his grinning mouth twisted, making an expression that was unclear whether it was disdain or anger.

Just after taking two steps, Yu Jeongyeon in the next room seemed to have heard the noise and came out directly. Seeing Lin Nayeon, her eyes lit up, and she waved and greeted Ming Jingnan. Then she looked at Lin Nayeon and asked with some concern: "Nayeon, you are back? It's raining so hard!"

She walked to Lin Nayeon in two or three steps and followed her into the room, saying non-stop: "I sent you a text message before asking if you wanted me to drive to pick you up, but you said no... How did you get back in such heavy rain? Did you take a taxi?"

"You've only had your driver's license for a few days. It's not safe to drive in such heavy rain. I'd rather take a taxi than ask you to pick me up..."

After Lin Nayeon entered, she closed the door behind her, blocking the view from the living room that made her feel uncomfortable. At the same time, she complained to Yu Jeongyeon impatiently, "And where did you get the car?"

Although she knew that Yu Jeongyeon cared about her, her good mood was drastically reversed in a very short time, and she had no place to vent her anger. Facing Yu Jeongyeon, whom she was most familiar with, there was no need to pretend, and she couldn't help but vent her anger.

"I've had my driver's license for several months, don't doubt my driving skills..."

Yu Jeongyeon keenly heard that her sister was in a bad mood. She didn't mind Lin Nayeon's unfriendly tone at all. She just continued to follow her and asked curiously: "How did you get back? Did Yeri and the others send you back?"

Lin Nayeon sat down hard on the bed, picked up the Banglas pillow on the bedside and began to ravage it, while muttering stubbornly:

“…That’s how I got back!”

She hugged the pillow, took out her cell phone, and looked at the chat records in the text messages in which she had just interacted. Thinking of how arrogant, proud, and happy she was just now, her heart now felt empty, depressed, and a little uncomfortable.

The heroine of the drama is Ji Eun-tak, but the real heroine seems to be... Nam Jung-nam.

Whether in the drama or in reality, she is not the protagonist.

She could try to empathize with the heroine in the TV series because of her similar personality and experience, but she really couldn't empathize with the one in real life.

Not only will you be unable to empathize with the other person, you will also feel envious, annoyed, angry, and jealous.

Even...wanted to squeeze her down.

"Hey, who made you angry? How did you get back?"

"You're the one who made me angry!... That's how I got back!"

"Hahaha~"

…………

Even though it was raining heavily, Ji Jingyuan changed his clothes in the dormitory and took the nanny car back to the crew... Li Yingfu adjusted the shooting plan, switching from the original outdoor scenes to indoor scenes, which would not affect the shooting progress.

Ever since the premiere of "Goblin" achieved excellent results and high popularity, the entire crew has been in a state of excitement, just like a fully wound spring, with an extraordinary enthusiasm for work.

The huge popularity of "Goblin" is a major boon for all the main actors.

Lee Dong Wook debuted very early, but has not starred in any hit drama for a long time and has always been mediocre.

It was originally planned that she would develop in many aspects in the mainland and participate in variety shows and TV dramas. However, she ended all her mainland schedules due to force majeure. After returning to the peninsula, she finally got the role with great effort...Liu Inna.

Although he is still young, he continues to prove himself in all aspects and meets Yook Sung-jae in a hit drama for the first time as the lead actor.

Especially Bae Suzy, who just had a huge flop in "Uncontrollably Fond". As expected, she would have been silent for a while. But after she got the leading role with the help of Ji Kyung-won, although she didn't say it, the pressure in her heart can be said to be the greatest.

And as the male protagonist, Chi Jingyuan enjoyed the biggest benefits and also bore the greatest pressure.

Every leading actor has his or her own worries and demands, but after the release of "Goblin" which became a huge hit, everything was vented, and everyone became more hardworking and serious... With such a good start, everyone wanted to strike while the iron was hot. With such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, no one wanted the popularity to last only two days.

Since the official broadcast of "Goblin", everyone in the crew has been fully loaded. When there are no other schedules to interfere, it is common to shoot for twenty hours a day. The intensity of the work is awe-inspiring even in the Peninsula entertainment industry where there are supermen everywhere.

Chi Jingyuan would occasionally miss necessary schedules as an idol, such as solo recordings and concert rehearsals, so in order to catch up on the progress he would work all night every few days, and he would feel like he was in a dream for a while.

...But he had already prepared himself mentally before this, so he didn't complain but simply persevered, and at the same time made good use of every rest time to keep himself in better condition.

Just like that, a week passed quickly. When Ji Jing temporarily left the crew and went to Neon Osaka with the reunited EXO group for a two-day concert, "Goblin" also aired the third and fourth episodes on December 12 and 9.

Although these two episodes are not extended versions of the first two episodes with a length of nearly 90 minutes, they still continue the most impressive advantages of the first episode.

The film-like texture, high-end special effects, beautiful pictures, romantic lines, the humorous and tacit rivalry between the three male characters, Kim Jung, Wang Li, Lu Xingcai, and the increasingly deep love between the male and female protagonists, which makes people love and worry.

The previous hot momentum was not interrupted, and the ratings of these two episodes have seen a very obvious increase.

Especially the third episode... The heart-stirring story of a hero saving a beauty at the end of the second episode caused a huge sensation on the Internet, and after the plot was abruptly ended by Lee Eung-bok, all the viewers and even the media had already anticipated that the ratings of the next episode would increase dramatically.

But when the real data came out, it still surprised everyone.

The third episode had an average audience rating of 14.1%, with a peak of 16.2%.
"Goblin" had already set a record for cable TV ratings when it first aired, and compared to the second episode's already astonishing 9% ratings, the third episode actually increased by 5%, nearly two-thirds of the data.

The rate of growth was so high that it stunned the audience and even industry insiders.

This number is even only a few percentage points away from "Legend of the Blue Sea", which was considered to be the biggest competitor of "Goblin" before it was aired.

But one of these two dramas is cable and the other is wireless...

Many people guessed that the ratings of "Goblin" would increase, but most of them thought that the increase would be orderly. No one expected that it would increase so much. The ratings figures went straight from being a cable TV drama to being a wireless TV drama.

I can only say that the scene of rescuing the heroine at the end of the second episode, the catwalk shot of Ji Kyung-won and Lee Dong-wook, and the close-up of Ji Kyung-won at the end that left a deep impression on the audience were just too likable and caused too great a response.

...the hero saves the beauty, an eternal classic!

After the third episode had extremely high ratings due to the continuation of the final plot of the second episode, the fourth episode had a slight drop in ratings to 13.8%, but it can be said that the ratings have stabilized in this range.

After this week, "Goblin" also proved that they were not a flash in the pan, but that the popularity, discussion, and ratings all blossomed, and it was on the road to becoming a big hit and it was unstoppable.

……

On the afternoon of December 12, the large practice room specially provided by SM Company was packed with people.

After greeting a few female idols she knew, and chatting with GFriend's Jung Eun-bi for a while, Sana Minatozaki glanced at Nayeon and Jeongyeon who were chatting with Red Velvet's Kang Seulgi and Kim Yerin not far away, and smiled as she returned to the right side of the practice room where Twice was. After glancing left and right, she found Minami's seat and sat down next to her.

Under the leadership of the organizer, there will be a very lively girl group collaboration stage at the KBS Music Festival at the end of this year, bringing together Twice, GFriend, Red Velvet and IOI, the four most popular new generation girl groups this year, to perform together "The World We Meet Again", a classic work of the previous generation girl group TOP Girls' Generation, which is also their debut song.

In 2016, a year of renewal for girl groups, this project is very meaningful and attractive. The fact that four girl groups can be gathered together on stage also shows the reputation and strength of KBS... At this time, Twice came to the agreed SM practice room to learn the dance and process choreography with the other three girl groups, and practiced for the collaboration stage at the end of the year.

The dance hadn't officially started yet and the dance teacher hadn't arrived yet. Although their agents were watching from the side, it couldn't stop these good friends from chatting and reminiscing about the past, and the surroundings were very lively for a while.

However, Ming Jingnan did not participate in it. She just sat quietly in the corner by the wall, looking at her mobile phone seriously. No one knew what she was looking at. She could not help but smile brightly from time to time, and occasionally rubbed the corner of her mouth with the tip of her tongue, her eyes full of brilliance.

"..."

Minatozaki Sana sat next to her and her head naturally moved over.

She could actually guess what Mingjing Nan was looking at without even looking at it. A glance at this time confirmed her thoughts. The corner of her mouth twitched, and she asked curiously: "...Is he in Osaka?"

...Mingjing Nan was looking at the photos sent by Chi Jingyuan. There seemed to be a few selfies with architectural backgrounds. Minatozaki Sana took a look and found that the place was quite familiar.

"Inside~"

Mingjing Nan nodded with a smile: "They went to Osaka for a concert the day before yesterday."

"Why are you going to Osaka again? I remember XO went there in August. At that time, you guys were still... well..."

"The one in August was SM's family concert, and this time it's XO's solo tour, which is different."

Mingjing Nan moved her fingers slightly and found one of the photos: "Look, he went to Yodo River with the members yesterday and took a few photos on the riverbank... It's a pity that there are no summer festival activities now. Hee, he deliberately made a sad face in this photo, haha, it's so ugly~"

"…Tsk, they really have a connection with Osaka."

Minatozaki Sana looked at the photo, her eyes were dark and her shrill voice was a little gentle.

Mingjing Nan did not hide it and whispered something that others did not know: "Gen-chan said he likes this city very much. Last time he casually mentioned that he wanted to buy a house in Osaka..."

"..." Sana Minatozaki looked at the photos in her mobile phone without saying a word, just listening and occasionally agreeing with a few words.

A few minutes later, she remembered something and asked curiously, "By the way, has Jingyuan Oppa returned?"

"Yeah, he came back this morning... He is also in SM company now, but he is not on the same level as us. He said he has to participate in a game live broadcast event arranged by the company..."

Mingjing Minami explained with great understanding, but as she spoke, her voice gradually became softer. She was originally looking at Minatozaki Sana, but then she noticed the movement not far away and raised her head slightly to look towards the door.

…Bae Joo-hyun and Son Seung-wan walked in together.
