Chapter 904 What Gym
The manager who suddenly walked in made the noise in the originally noisy practice room suddenly drop. When everyone saw Kim Sang-min's serious expression as he approached, they all felt nervous and thought to themselves that something was wrong.

Just when several members were a little nervous, Jin Shangmin looked around as soon as he entered the room, and soon his eyes turned to the direction of Mingjing Nan and the others, locking onto Minatozaki Sana:

"Sana..."

Kim Sang-min called out Minatozaki Sana's name in a slightly condensed voice, and all the other members looked over unconsciously. Minami Nagai and Momo Hirai also looked at her curiously and with some concern, wondering why the agent suddenly made trouble for Minatozaki Sana.

"?"

Minatozaki Sana was very confused. She pointed at herself and blinked her eyes in confusion: "Oppa...what's wrong?"

She was also a little nervous...

There shouldn't be anything that has angered the agent or the company recently...

Jin Shangmin looked at Minatozaki Sana not far away, frowned and did not continue to speak, feeling a little hesitant.

He was considering whether to call Minatozaki Sana to his office to talk privately, or to talk about it here directly.

But thinking about the purpose of this time, no matter where he said it, he would eventually let everyone else know... Jin Shangmin's eyes were still stern, and he paused for a moment, without beating around the bush, and directly said in a deep voice: "You...are you in a relationship recently?"

"you……"

"what?"

"Sana again..."

"No? With whom?"

As soon as Kim Sang-min finished speaking, before Minato Sana could say anything, the other members couldn't help but scream in amazement. It was obvious that this news surprised everyone, especially the two Japanese LINE members beside him, Inami and Momo Hirai, who all looked over in surprise, and the latter even screamed.

When Minatozaki Sana heard the news, she was also shocked. The surprise on her face was no less than that of the other members. She pointed at herself as if to confirm whether the manager was talking about her. Then, with a puzzled and innocent look on her face, she shook her head vigorously, "Ah? Dating? No?"

Her heart was churning at the same time.

Dating? Are you kidding me?

Don’t I know whether I’m in a relationship or not?

I haven’t thought about it yet... and I don’t have the chance...

"Then what's going on..."

Kim Sang-min didn't seem to want to listen to Sana Minato's explanation. He walked straight towards her, opened his handbag as he walked, took out a few photos from it and threw them in front of Sana Minato. His voice suddenly became stern and he asked loudly, "The photos have been taken. Take a good look at yourself to see if I have wronged you... Do you have any explanation now?"

Seeing that the manager actually took out photos, the members sitting further away, such as Lim Nayeon, all had their pupils shrank, and kept looking over here in surprise and curiosity... They really wanted to run over to see what the photos were, but because of the obviously angry manager, they forced themselves to suppress their strong curiosity and just kept sticking their heads out to watch.

"This is……"

The photo that was suddenly thrown at her face and the agent's suddenly loud voice made Sana Minatozaki suddenly confused. She was stunned for a moment, then quickly picked up the photo in front of her and started looking at it.

When she first saw herself in the photo and the senior from EXO, she paused for a moment, as if she was recalling something. Soon, the memory that was almost forgotten surfaced before her eyes. Her eyes lit up and she immediately explained, "Oppa, this is not a date photo. This happened a long time ago. We just had a cup of coffee together and we haven't been in touch since then..."

"Just drinking coffee? Then why do the photos look so intimate? Just drinking coffee, why would the media want to publish the photos as if they were a date?"

Jin Shangmin sneered, not believing it at all: "And are you familiar with Kai from EXO? Drinking coffee with him alone?
Kai?

real or fake?

Hearing this somewhat familiar name, Lin Nayeon and the others nearby were stunned, and immediately looked at each other, with understanding and surprise flashing in their eyes.

They all knew that the senior had pursued Minatozaki Sana...but didn't Sana say that she didn't have any feelings for him and rejected him?
"I just……"

Minatozaki Sana looked anxious and wanted to say something quickly, but she didn't know how to say it. It was just a very ordinary social event... After a pause of a second, she pursed her lips and tried very hard to explain: "I don't know why it looks like... but I really just drank a cup of coffee, said a few words and then left... I don't know how I was photographed... Really, Oppa~"

She spoke very quickly. Faced with the sudden accusation and the harsh attitude of her agent, especially this fictitious partner, Minatozaki Sana became a little anxious. She explained in a panic. At the end, she looked up at her agent, her eyes full of sincerity and even a hint of tears.

"We're not dating. Ha, every time you encounter this kind of thing, you make excuses and say you're not dating. It was like this when we were trainees, and it's still like this after debuting. I've seen it too many times..."

However, compared to Sana Minatozaki's explanation, Kim Sang-min obviously believed the photos and evidence more. He looked at Sana Minatozaki unmoved, laughed slightly mockingly, then kept a straight face and remained silent for a few seconds, then said word by word: "Sana, do you know that the company has a dating ban, and it is written in the contract..."

"I know Oppa...but no, I really don't..."

"Do you know that the company hates this kind of thing?"

"Oppa, I know, I really..."

"Do you think the company won't know if you keep your relationship secret?"

"I……"

Minatozaki Sana kept saying that she was not in a relationship, but Kim Sang-min didn't listen at all. Instead, his tone and scolding became more and more serious, and his voice became louder and louder, and it was obvious that he was really angry. His voice was so stern that the group of members around him were a little scared.

Lin Nayeon and the others looked at each other, wanting to say something but not daring enough.

They haven’t seen their manager get so angry in a long time, even when Ming Jingnan was in love last time… uh, last time, the manager didn’t seem to be angry at all…

"Do you think that now that Twice is doing well and you are popular, you no longer need to listen to the company's management because you are strong enough?"

"No, I really... didn't..."

But no matter how her agent taught her a lesson, Sana Minatozaki refused to admit that she was in a relationship with Kim Jong-in. She pouted her lips and stuck her head out, but still tried to explain.

However, facing Kim Sang-min's increasingly cold expression and words that even contained swear words, a strong sense of grievance overflowed in Minatozaki Sana's heart.

We clearly weren't dating, why are you accusing me wrongly?
Why don't you believe me?

I'm not in love in the first place, and even if I were in love, why is my attitude towards different people... so different...

There were tears in her eyes, and the more she spoke, the more she cried and her voice became more and more choked. She just stubbornly tried to maintain her innocence and cleanliness, but under the constant scolding of her agent and the various looks from the people around her, she finally couldn't hold back the anger in her heart and burst into tears.

She finally lowered her head and buried it in her curled legs, not wanting others to see her tear-stained face, using her soft pants to hold back the tears pouring out… But even so, she still cried out “No… No…” in a sporadic, shrill voice, with a trembling nasal tone and a strong sobbing tone, as well as the stubbornness buried deep inside.

The trembling sobs echoed in the practice room, causing everyone around to look concerned and sad.

The two little sisters next to her couldn't sit still anymore. Seeing Sana Minatozaki crying so hard, even in front of her agent, they hurried over, comforted her, and wiped her tears with tissues.

Kim Sang-min looked at Minatozaki Sana, who was crying and on the verge of collapse after being taught a lesson by him, but his face remained expressionless and he remained ruthless.

But I couldn't help but sigh in my heart.

In fact, Kim Sang-min knew that Sana Minatozaki and Kim Jong-in had nothing to do with each other... Although she was shocked and angry when she received the photos, they had actually communicated with SM before, and the other party clearly replied that they were not dating, it was just a normal social coffee date.

In addition, the explanation given by Sana Minatozaki also matched, so Kim Sang-min and JYP knew very well that this girl was not lying.

So when he saw Minatozaki Sana crying so sadly but still explaining, he couldn't help but feel soft-hearted...

Only those who have wronged you know how wronged you are.

But... no matter what, it is a fact that the photos were taken secretly this time. Even if the company believes that you are not in a relationship, once the photos are sent out, whether the fans believe it or not is another matter.

And even if Minatozaki Sana is not dating, it is a fact that the company has put in a lot of public relations efforts to stop these photos. This child has unintentionally caused a lot of trouble for herself, the group, and the company. It is reasonable to teach her a lesson and let her be more cautious in the future.

...And, what is more important is actually the warning.

The last time Mingjing Nan announced her relationship internally, JYP, which was originally about to punish her severely, could only lift her up high and let her go lightly because of Ji Jingyuan's relationship. There was no substantial punishment at all, and they even turned a blind eye after that.

Although this is a helpless move, it has to be said that it does set a very bad precedent.

Since that incident, Jin Shangmin, who has been with this group of kids every day, clearly feels that the atmosphere in the team has changed a little. Mingjingnan's incident has caused a very bad influence. Everyone seems to have their own little thoughts and has begun to try and make contacts on the border of ambiguity and love.

...After all, the kids are now in the most vigorous adolescence, and they come into contact with handsome guys and some nice people every day. In addition, with the example of Ming Jingnan in the team, it is natural for them to be tempted.

But JYP will never allow such a thing to happen. Twice is now the company's newest and most important cash cow and is in a period of rapid development. No problems must arise... Things like love affairs, which are enough to affect the vitality of a girl group, are even more detestable.

Kim Sang-min and the company have been thinking about how to correct the atmosphere, and Minatozaki Sana just happened to run into it this time... Although they know that she is not in a relationship, they must make an example of her and severely correct the bad atmosphere within Twice to give a warning to others.

"...You've become wild now, right? Now that you're popular and have more admirers, you've started thinking about approaching boys, right?"

Suppressing the compassion in his heart, Kim Sang-min took a breath and then spoke loudly in a stern tone, but this time he was not only targeting Minatozaki Sana, but also looked at the other members without leaving any trace.

...She probably can't hear what he's saying since she's crying like this. No matter what he says, the child will only respond with 'no, no'... She's so stubborn that it makes people feel distressed.

"Someone even secretly took photos of us... Heh, do you know what kind of period Twice is in right now? If photos like this get out, you're done for, you know that!"

"Originally they were planning to expose the photo directly. Do you know how much resources the company spent to block the photo?"

"...After being a trainee for so long, is this just to debut, get close to seniors, drink coffee and have a relationship...

"...I warn you, there are some things you shouldn't even think about right now!"

Kim Sang-min stood in the middle of the practice room, loudly lecturing the Twice members next to him. Everyone seemed to be frightened by his outburst. He looked around, looking sharply at every member...but he just glanced past Mingjingnan a little unnaturally.

...Some people noticed this unnatural little movement. When Zhou Ziyu found out, she curled her lips slightly and cursed in her heart.

Finally, Kim Sang-min looked at Minatozaki Sana, who was still burying her head but crying less loudly, and walked up to her: "It's almost the end of the year, and it's not a good idea to suspend your schedule... Give me your phone, and don't use it for the next few days."

After pausing for a few seconds, Minatozaki Sana slowly raised her tear-stained face, looked at the agent in front of her with tearful eyes, sniffed, took out a mobile phone from her pocket, held it in her hand reluctantly for a few seconds, and then slowly handed it over.

When Jin Shangmin snatched it away, she pursed her lips and said in a trembling voice: "I don't have..."

Kim Sang-min pretended not to hear anything. He took one last look around and felt from the looks of the members that today's show was very good. He turned around and left in big strides, feeling satisfied.

"boom……"

The sound of a door closing was heard shrilly, and the entire practice room was silent for a second as if it had paused, and then all the other members quickly surrounded Minatozaki Sana.

"Sana, are you okay?"

"Stop crying, wipe it off."

"Shangmin oppa too, you told me why you're still so fierce without him."

A group of people surrounded Sanasaki, comforting her and wiping her tears, with all kinds of comforting words coming one after another.

Kim Sang-min, who used to have a good temper, was surprised by his outburst today. To be honest, today's drama really scared everyone and made several members retract their uncertain thoughts.

But... apart from the company's strict prevention of love affairs, what touched every member the most was actually the comparison with the incident with Mingjing Minami.

The last time their relationship was confirmed, Minami Naoki herself admitted it, and her agent not only scolded her in front of all the members and even used bad words, but also didn't even teach her a lesson afterwards, as if nothing had happened.

This time, although the photos were taken, Sana herself did not admit it. She started to curse hysterically without confirming whether they were in a relationship or not. Sana's aggrieved and heartbroken look made others feel distressed.

...the contrast is really too strong.

The men are all from EXO, but should the difference be so huge?
While comforting each other, everyone suddenly felt a little complicated.

Zhou Ziyu was holding a tissue in her hand, standing a little further back, looking at Minatozaki Sana with some heartache and pity. She wanted to comfort her but couldn't squeeze in.

When she saw what happened to this sister today and her current appearance, she felt quite sad...but she became more determined.

...Things stolen by thieves must be returned to their original owners eventually!

Just when Kim Sang-min was scolding others, Minatozaki Sana's crying had already subsided a lot. After being comforted by a group of members in a gentle voice for a while, Minatozaki Sana slowly stopped crying and just kept wiping her face with a tissue.

She pursed her lips slightly and wiped very hard, as if she was competing with someone or venting something. Her eyelashes were already connected together by tears. Although her red eyes looked very haggard, the pupils under her eyes were not entirely weak. In addition to the overflowing grievances, there was also a lot of stubbornness and resentment.

"..."

After a while, after saying a lot of words of comfort, several people exchanged glances. Park Ji Hyo hesitated for a moment, but still asked the question that many members were most curious about: "Um... Sana... you and EXO's Kai..."

"no!"

Before Park Ji-hyo could finish her question, Minatozaki Sana turned around and glared at her, then shouted angrily: "No! No! No! Don't mention him anymore!!!"

This name seemed to trigger some kind of stress response in her. She became hysterical and angry in an instant, shouting in a shrill voice, and it seemed that her throat was broken by the end.

Minatozaki Sana has always had a good personality, she is generous, lively, good at joking and has a very good relationship with others. It's rare to see her like this in such a long time.

"Okay, of course we believe you. Even though it's EXO, Kai doesn't look good at all, and he doesn't match our Sana at all." Seeing Sana getting angry, Yu Jeongyeon immediately patted her on the back with a smile, and comforted her solemnly: "We are not like Sangmin oppa."

“That’s right, I think Kai isn’t good-looking at all. Compared to… well, not good-looking!” Lin Nayeon immediately nodded vigorously, agreeing very sincerely.

"Didn't Sana say a long time ago that she had no interest and had stopped contacting you? Why did this suddenly happen?"

"…I guess you're tired of being beaten by Kai."

Kim Da-hyun and Son Chae-young discussed in a low voice one by one.

“It’s really an unprovoked disaster.”

Zhou Ziyu sighed, looking like an adult who had experienced a lot of vicissitudes of life.

After a long while, seeing that Minatozaki Sana seemed to have calmed down slowly and there was no more gossip to hear, the crowd gradually dispersed, leaving only the three Japanese girls sitting there tightly.

Momo Hirai hugged Minatozaki Sana's waist directly, intimately and tenderly, trying to use her warmth and body to comfort this obviously sad little sister.

However, even though she hadn't asked and was willing to believe Sana Minatozaki...she actually felt that something was going on between Sana and Kai.

She had always thought that these two might have a chance...

Although I was hugging my little sister to comfort her, I was suddenly absent-minded as I blinked my eyes, and my thoughts started to wander inexplicably...

Minami Naii pulled Sana's hand and held it in her own, and looked at Sana next to her with worry... Although she has stopped crying and will force a smile when facing their gaze, she still sniffs from time to time and has red eyes, which is really heartbreaking to see.

Of course she believed what her little sister said, and she didn't think that Minatozaki Sana would fall in love with Kim Jong-in.

It's just... of course, Naoi Minami also felt the weird and subtle atmosphere between the members just now, as well as the obvious contrast between the agent's attitude towards her and Minatozaki Sana.

So she remained silent and tried her best to keep a low profile.

"..."

Seeing that Minatozaki Sana's lips had unconsciously pouted, Mingjing Nan sighed softly in his heart.

If Sana Minatozaki doesn't want to hear Kai's name, she won't mention it... Nai Minami thought about it, and smiled and talked about the topic they were talking about before the manager came: "Sana..."

Upon hearing that, Minatozaki Sana looked over, pursed her lips and tilted her head.

"We were just talking about that stalker fan... How about you not go to that gym in the future? Next time when Yuan-chan is free, we can go to his place together. I'll tell him that we can go to his gym together in the future..."

Mingjingnan pulled her with a smile.

...She was about to suggest this just now. After encountering such a stalker and such disgusting things, she really couldn't imagine how Minatozaki Sana would be able to go there to work out and use that cabinet in the future.

Even if I change the cabinet, the shadow in my heart will probably never go away.

"..." Upon hearing Minami Naoi's suggestion, Minatozaki Sana was suddenly stunned.

The other members could sense the contrast in the managers' attitudes towards the two relationships.

As someone involved, how could she not feel it? The difference in treatment and attitude she felt was the most vivid.

One admitted it and turned a blind eye with a good attitude, while the other cursed at someone for something that didn't happen at all... The contrast is really too strong.

With this extreme difference in attitude, even though she has a good relationship with Minami Naoi, Minatozaki Sana couldn't help but produce a lot of negative emotions in her heart, including resentment, grievance, jealousy, bitterness, etc. It's really, really hard to control.

Besides, she had always had an unusual feeling towards Chi Jingyuan...

At this moment, facing Ming Jingnan who was looking at her with a smile and concern, she felt quite confused.

He let her hold his hand, but looked at her with complicated eyes, his lips pursed together, trembling slightly.

Just when Minatozaki Sana was about to say something, a voice suddenly interrupted.
"…What gym?"

Momo Hirai, who had been hanging on her, suddenly sat up, was slightly stunned, then frowned, staring at the two people with curiosity and vigilance.

Am I being excluded again?
