The number one playboy on the Peninsula!

Chapter 398 Kim Da-hyun: One punch to avoid a hundred! I'll explode with you all!
"Is it well done?"

Upon hearing this, Kim Da-hyun couldn't help but shrink back, like prey spotting its hunter.

Her expression was unnatural as she glanced at the leader, who was laughing heartily at the camera. Even her laughter sounded silly. But at this moment, Tofu dared not harbor any mocking thoughts, because she knew very well…

Nayeon unnie looks so adorably silly right now, but she'll be just as pathetic once the movie "Parasite" ends (〒︿〒).

"Of course~ Actors... kissing scenes and stuff, it's all part of the job~" Hirai Momo gave Dahyun a very understanding look. Apart from the fragmented cherry blossom line, her favorite member of the group was the easy-to-bully Dahyun.

Right now, Dahyun's first film debut deserves our full support.

The manager, who was driving, couldn't help but chuckle twice as he listened to the members chatting in the back seat... In the local entertainment industry, is there any group more united than TWICE?
Sana Minatozaki clutched a small camera, her bright eyes fixed on Momo Hirai and Nayeon's expectant expressions. The two seemed to sense Dahyun's nervousness and tried to reassure her, bringing up the earlier kissing scene:
"A kissing scene~ Aigoo, which actor will get Dahyun's first on-screen kiss? They're so lucky..." Hirai Momo said gossipily, looking at Dahyun's blushing face, she was very pleased and happy inside.

Lim Nayeon retorted loudly, "What nonsense are you talking about? Dahyun's first on-screen kiss wasn't just a one-time thing; she gave her first real-life kiss to a movie! But since it's a Bong Joon-ho film, it must be amazing!"

Sana Minatosaki suddenly asked with a chuckle, "Nayeon unnie, have you ever kissed anyone?"

Her voice, slightly husky, was sweet and adorable.

But this immediately changed Lim Nayeon's expression. She grinned, showing her rabbit teeth, trying to control her facial expression, and quickly looked at the camera with a bright and energetic face: "I've never experienced the feeling of kissing before..."

As she spoke, her eyes were a little unfocused. She pretended to be busy smoothing the neat stray hairs by her ear, and then added with a bright smile: "In my more than 20 years of life, only my debut and ONCEs have occupied my entire life... This makes me feel equally happy."

The manager, who was driving, heard Lim Nayeon's reply.

I was originally thinking of cutting out Sana Minato's question later, but now that I see it, Nayeon's answer was great~ She could totally gain some fans. But thinking about it, these girls really have it tough. It seems that in the group, apart from Jihyo, none of them have any dating experience?

Hirai Momo (|||д) was somewhat taken aback by Lim Nayeon's answer...

Teacher's wife, how can you say such self-deception and deception of your fans in such a high-sounding way?

But glancing at Minatozaki Sana's smug smile, Hirai Momo was afraid that Sana would be the next to harm her... afraid that if she wasn't quick-witted enough, she would fall into Sana's trap, so she also laughed and agreed: "Yeah, me too... hehe."

Kim Da-hyun had no interest in observing the rivalry between her sisters-in-law at the moment.

I'm so depressed...

She pretended to clutch her stomach and said to her manager who was driving, "Unnie, please drive slowly, I'm not feeling well."

……

JYP is not far from Lotte Building. No matter how much Dahyun tried to avoid it, with the concern of several unnies and her manager, she arrived at the building's basement in just a few minutes' drive.

Two vans, one in front of the other, met up, and all nine members of TWICE headed straight for the elevator.

Upon entering the cinema lobby, the first thing that catches the eye is the high ceiling. Behind the ticket counter on the left, staff members wearing uniform gray uniforms showed a hint of surprise when they saw TWICE, but still maintained a professional smile.

The group of nine people, along with their agent and bodyguards, quickly attracted the attention of movie fans who were queuing to enter the theater.

"TWICE?"

"Oh mo!"

"It really is TWICE..."

Nayeon and others waved to many fans with smiles on their faces, holding their ticket stubs. Dahyun stood awkwardly next to Tzuyu, feeling as if her steps were heavy.

Soon, led by the staff, the nine people prepared to enter the theater first.

……

On the walls on both sides of the corridor were enlarged movie character posters from "Parasite." Tzuyu, who was walking at the front, couldn't help but stop and point to the huge new poster in front of her. She quietly nudged Dahyun's somewhat absent-minded shoulder and asked curiously, "Unnie, why don't I see your character in the poster?"

Since they entered early, there weren't many people in the cinema corridor at the moment. Upon hearing this, the nine members of TWICE also turned their heads and stood down.

I gazed at the movie posters for "Parasite" on the wall in front of me—some were group stills, some were individual character posters…

"..." Kim Da-hyun came to her senses and glanced at Chou Tzu-yu.

I felt the maknae's question was presumptuous... With so many big names in "Parasite," how could she possibly appear in the promotional posters? But I still glanced at the poster wall and pointed to a character poster next to me, "Look, this is me."

The solo poster features Kim Da-hyun with her bangs blowing in the wind, wearing a white dress, and holding a notebook in her arms.

Even as a member of the top girl group TWICE, her status in the domestic entertainment industry is still somewhat behind that of actors from Chungmuro. Not to mention, the leading actors are Gong Sung, who has won 9 Grammys, and Song Kang-ho, who has won many Best Actor awards, as well as a group of actors who have won Best Supporting Actor and Best Supporting Actress awards.

"How eerie..."

Mina stopped in her tracks when she saw the standee poster in front of her. The poster was extremely depressing in color and composition, featuring Makoto, Song Kang-ho, Lee Sun-kyun, and Cho Yeo-jeong. However, the atmosphere piqued her interest, making her even more eager to see Makoto's movie.

The other members followed, and all nine eyes were fixed on the poster.

...In the context of the modern courtyard, the composition is divided into three layers: foreground, middle ground, and background.

In the foreground, Song Kang-ho, dressed in a dark shirt and trousers, stands on a lush green lawn, his posture stiff and formal, yet distant. On the left side of the lawn, in the lower left corner of a poster, a pair of bare, white feet are visible. Only the white legs and arches are visible, but no human figure is seen; it looks more like a corpse, implying that someone else is lying there.

In the mid-range shot, in front of the glass door of the villa, Lee Sun-kyun and Cho Yeo-jeong, playing an upper-class couple, are lounging on deck chairs. The woman holds a glass of red wine, and the two are relaxed, exuding a life of luxury.

Inside the glass door beside them, Gong Cheng, dressed in light gray casual wear, with a slightly wrinkled collar on his cotton T-shirt, leaned against the glass door, his shoulders slumped, his hands in his pockets. His aura was shrouded in a thin mist, numb and empty... while the colorful ball at his feet added to the sense of absurdity.

What makes the poster even more dramatic and full of class metaphors is that the faces and eyes of Gong Cheng, Song Kang-ho, Lee Sun-kyun, and Cho Yeo-jeong are all covered by black lines, like a mosaic, and are crushed in one stroke.

At the top of the poster is a string of English text: "Cannes Film Festival Palme d'Or" and a Korean slogan: "Happiness grows stronger when shared," which, together with the class contrast in the layered image, creates a strong irony.

"This is me..."

Kim Da-hyun glanced at the poster, walked over, pointed to the bottom left corner where only a pair of calves were visible, and gave an awkward smile.

Mina glanced at him, smiled slightly, and encouraged him, "Not bad."

After browsing the posters for a while, the nine members of TWICE entered the theater and waited for the movie to start.

……

Unlike Bong Joon-ho, who won the Palme d'Or at Cannes, Gong Cheng visited his teacher at his home this morning before heading to the recording studio in Gangnam to record a song.

Accompanying her was Jeon Somi, who will debut next month. With her golden curly hair in pigtails and fair features, she looked like a European-style doll from afar. Standing at 173cm, she wore denim hot pants and a white tank top, which accentuated her cleavage.

Hot. The cool outfit complements Seoul's current weather perfectly.

"How are the preparations going?"

Gong Cheng picked up his coffee and took a sip. After being in the industry for so long, many of his habits and lifestyles have changed.

Just like quitting smoking, coffee, which I used to dislike, became an indispensable part of my busy schedule over the past two years.

Jeon Somi swayed her large earring by her wispy hair and confidently declared, "No problem, Oppa!"

Her solo debut has recently been promoted locally, but there has been no news of her signing with Maze Entertainment. She has gained some attention from fans she had accumulated in IOI, but she hasn't been active as a singer in the past two years, and that popularity has almost faded away.

"Then let's debut as Project No. 3. I'll arrange for you to perform on the three major TV stations around the 10th." Gong Cheng pondered for a moment and made a decision.

The contract termination with JYP will take place on June 1st, which is the day after tomorrow.

Bae Suzy's contract with her company expired at the end of March, which caused a huge uproar in Japan and dominated the trending topics. However, the news was more of a fuss than a real deal, as it was a "peaceful breakup" with the company. What the public was more concerned about was which agency Bae Suzy signed with.

However, the information that she joined Maze has been kept very secret.

Just wait until the day after tomorrow, when Gong Cheng's contract with JYP expires, they will all announce the establishment of Maze Entertainment... Jeon Somi, Bae Suzy, and Han So-hee can also ride on his popularity and generate buzz, while also warming up for their comeback.

Haki is truly exhausted; being the president is so tiring.

In the past, if you wanted to ride on Master Gong's popularity, you had to let Master Gong ride on your popularity... But things are different now. As for the artists under his management, he has to take the initiative to ride on his popularity.

"You can take a look at the groups and solo artists that will be making a comeback next month..." Gong Cheng said with a smile. He hadn't paid much attention to K-pop groups for a long time, but for Somi, who had just debuted, winning number 1 was still very valuable. If they didn't win number 1, it meant that their comeback wasn't strong enough. Where would he, Gong Cheng, put his face?
Upon hearing this, Jeon Somi pouted slightly: "I was quite confident, Oppa, but..."

"?"

Looking at her porcelain-like face, Gong Cheng had to admit...

The Western sweetheart style suits the mixed-race foreigner in front of me very well, making him look sexy and charming. The sweet style he wore at IOI before didn't suit him very well.

"Oppa, have you forgotten... that you're making a comeback next month?" Jeon Somi asked with a conflicted expression, her tone cheerful but her eyes filled with worry and helplessness.

It vividly portrays a fan's joy at their idol's upcoming song release, yet also their worry about the potential impact on their own career... no, not impact.

If this guy comes back, he'll crush everyone.

Gong Cheng noticed her expression and chuckled, "I don't promote songs, it's no fun."

"Even if you get hundreds of '1's, then..."

He stopped there, perhaps because he didn't want to dampen the enthusiasm of his artists; having goals is what motivates them.

Then, he remembered the suggestion from the company's choreographer, May J Lee: "By the way, the dance that Ji-hyun noona choreographed for you, when you come back in a few days, remember to remind me so we can censor it and promote it for you."

Miyako has always been quite concerned about Somi's debut.

Little foreigner, since you believe in yourself, then let's send her to debut. It's been quite tough for Somi these past two years since she joined IOI.

I'm so soft-hearted~
How does one become a good, evil capitalist?
Wait online.

"Yes, Oppa~" Jeon Somi raised her eyebrows in surprise upon hearing this.

Afterwards, Gong Cheng sat in front of the recording equipment and listened to the debut audio that Jeon Somi had just recorded... Not bad.

Immediately afterwards, he took off his headphones and prepared to record a new song for his album.

"I'm going into the studio... Remember to send a message to your two unnies, Suzy and Suhee, later. Let's grab a drink together tonight." Gong Cheng's tall figure stood in front of the recording studio door, smiling as he spoke. "The manager and assistant I arranged for you will also be coming over tonight. Remember to get along well with them."

After Jeon Somi's trainee contract with JYP ended, Somi left with nothing. As for her manager during her time with IOI, it was the manager assigned by YMC Entertainment when the limited-time group was backed by them.

They left hastily after the limited-time collaboration ended...

"Arasoo~ Oppa!"

Jeon Somi excitedly nodded her twin-tailed head, thinking that Maze Entertainment, where she worked, was thriving!
After building good relationships with other senior artists under the company, such as Suzy and Sohee, over the past few months, she increasingly felt that she had made a wise decision to follow the oppa who had just entered the recording studio.

The two unnies even made plans with her to see this oppa's new movie "Parasite" tomorrow. They seem to have no scheming or backstabbing, just constant laughter and fun. And looking to the future, if she wants to change her image, she has this youngest Baeksang Arts Awards Best Actor oppa, and the other two unnies...

She has an amazing network of connections.

After having a good time, Jeon Somi adjusted the purple bra strap that was sticking out of her white T-shirt, plopped down in front of the production desk outside the recording studio, put on her headphones, and prepared to listen to President Gong's new single.

……

"..."

Gong Cheng took a sip of water, put on his headphones, adjusted his breathing, and then made a gesture towards Jeon Somi, who was behind the glass.

The instrumental arrangement of "Glimpse of Us" flowed smoothly into my headphones.

The simple piano accompaniment is like a thin layer of morning mist gently drifting past your ears...

Gong Cheng's voice gently rose to the occasion: "She relieved me of the heavy burden I was carrying."

If things don't go as planned, she'll turn the rain into a rainbow.

"Rescue me from my grief..."

Jeon Somi sat outside the recording studio, listening to the ethereal, magnetic voice through her headphones. A melancholic mood seemed to permeate every cell of her body. Absolutely divine!
"She's so perfect—but why is that?"

"I still stubbornly hope that person is you..."

Gong Cheng lowered his eyelids slightly, his deep and gentle voice singing like fragments of memories being unearthed. When he wrote this song, he always felt it was terrible... His salvation came from the flawless beauty of Mina, while he remained obsessed with the faces of other girls.

"Perfection doesn't necessarily mean complete fulfillment, right?"

"And what can I do?"

……

The deep singing voice spread out, and it was 5 p.m. Seoul time.

Parasite was shown on time in major cinemas across the country...

"..."

The nine members of TWICE sat in a row in the theater. They had recently taken a short break. It seemed that the four members who didn't have much personal information to spare, Chaeyoung, Tzuyu, Tofu, and Love Guy, were all holding popcorn buckets and Cokes.

But Kim Da-hyun, watching the movie start, stuffed her little hands into the popcorn bucket, squeezing the popcorn incessantly with a "crunching" sound.

I don't have much of an appetite...

The remaining members, after "Parasite" began playing, stopped chatting and watched the movie with complete absorption. At this point, no one really cares about or pays much attention to Dahyun's kissing scene anymore.
The tantalizing answer will be revealed in the next two hours.

Lim Nayeon tilted her head and glanced at Kim Da-hyun, whose face flickered with the lights on the screen... and chuckled.

She figured that Dahyun was just too shy...

She was afraid that if the other members found out, she would be teased and ridiculed after having a kissing scene with a male actor. At heart, Dahyun is actually a quiet and gentle girl.
Having never been in a relationship before, it must be quite embarrassing to film a kissing scene in my debut film.

So before entering the theater, Nayeon, as the eldest sister, specifically reminded the members... that after the movie, they shouldn't make fun of Dahyun about the kissing scene, but should instead offer encouragement and praise.

"..."

Amidst the crackling sound of popcorn, the story of "Parasite" begins in the cramped space of a semi-basement. The Kim Ki-woo family of four, played by Gong Cheng, lives in a damp and dimly lit dwelling, surviving by folding pizza boxes and even having to rely on their neighbors' Wi-Fi signal...

This predicament took a turn for the better when Kim Ki-woo's high school classmate came to visit.

The other party is about to study abroad and recommends Kim Ki-woo to take her place as an English tutor for Park Da-hye, the daughter of wealthy President Park. With a forged "Yonsei University diploma" from his sister Kim Ki-jung, Kim Ki-woo successfully enters a luxurious villa on a mountaintop, thus beginning the family's "parasitic" life in high society.

"Aigoo..."

In the theater, many moviegoers stared in disbelief at the screen as Gong Cheng, playing Kim Ki-woo, skillfully deceived a wealthy family with a forged Yonsei University diploma. However, the actress who played the lead, Gong Cheng, was caught in a love-hate relationship with the character, a mixture of dislike and admiration for Gong Cheng herself.

"This image and acting skills are such a complete departure from the norm!"

Some local film critics sat in their chairs, shocked by Gong Cheng's acting skills in the film. Putting aside his handsome appearance and the character portrayal, he really gave off the kind of petty cleverness and cunning of a parasite from the bottom of society.

In particular, Gong Cheng, who plays a student who has failed his exams several times, grabs the wrist of Park Da-hye, played by Kim Da-hyun, and in front of Mrs. Park, solemnly spouts absurd nonsense: "Exams are like charging into battle..."

"..."

"Dahyun~ Your makeup and styling are so pretty." Sana Minato watched intently. When she saw Kim Dahyun appear, her white dress and light bangs, her fair skin and innocent eyes gave her the look of a high school girl.

"Uh." Kim Da-hyun (;;Д;;) didn't know how to answer, but her mind was focused on the movie plot as if counting down the seconds.

Because soon in the plot, she'll be kissing the handsome guy inside... and it won't just be a single kiss, there will be a long, deep kiss at the end.

My first kiss was with Da Da Shuai, and my first deep kiss was also with him.

……

Outside the theater, while many moviegoers were immersed in the scenes of "Parasite," watching the intense acting of Gong Seong, Song Kang-ho, Lee Sun-kyun, and others, the world outside was filled with excitement.

Yonsei University's official account posted a picture of a movie ticket stub for "Parasite," along with a picture of a forged Yonsei University diploma, echoing the character Kim Ki-woo's background in the film: "Kim Ki-woo's diploma is forged, but Gong Sung and Bong Joon-ho's diplomas are real~ (grinning face)."

The post contained a total of six pictures.

A diploma from Yonsei University, one for graduating from the Department of Music Composition and the other from the Department of Sociology; a poster from their alma mater promoting the movie "Parasite"; a photo of Gung Sung and Bong Joon-ho together holding the Palme d'Or on the Cannes Film Festival red carpet; and a movie ticket stub.

Finally, there was a group photo of the three teachers and students. Sung Hee-jin, a professor in the Department of Performing Arts at Yonsei University, sat on a black sofa. Her eyes behind her black-rimmed glasses were kind yet exuded a faint aura. She held two bouquets of flowers given to her by her students. Standing behind her, on her left and right, were the tall and handsome Gong Cheng and Bong Joon-ho with his ramen-noodle hair.

"666!"

“kkk~”

"Two towering mountains in the South Korean music and film industries today..."

"Damn academic tyrants..."

"You academic clique, my ass! Your illiterate son Geigie can't get into Sky Academy, and you're going to blame the academic clique again?"

……

In the plot of "Parasite", Kim Ki-woo packages Kim Ki-jung, who is skilled in painting, as "Teacher Jessica" and introduces her to Da-song, the youngest son of a wealthy family who has psychological trauma, as a tutor.

On the day they met, Kim Ki-woo, Kim Ki-jung, and Mrs. Park sat in the downstairs living room chatting happily.

The camera then focuses on Kim Da-hyun, who is peeking from the side of the stairwell. She looks at the three people in the living room with a hesitant expression, and the camera follows her complicated gaze to Gong Cheng, who is smiling and introducing "Jessica" to Mrs. Park.

"..."

Once he confirmed that Kim Ki-jung had successfully bewitched Mrs. Park and infiltrated the wealthy man's home, Gong Cheng went upstairs to Kim Da-hyun's bedroom.

I'm starting to prepare to tutor her...

Lim Nayeon frowned, realizing that something was amiss in the plot. She squinted, her rabbit teeth meticulously hidden inside her full lips.

On the screen, the warm lighting in the bedroom of Da-hye, played by Da-hyun, creates a sense of ambiguity.

As Dahyun, dressed in her high school uniform, complained about her younger brother Dasong, saying, "Dasong always acts like he's above worldly concerns, it's disgusting..."

Gong Cheng smiled nonchalantly, then tapped on the desk, signaling him to continue his homework.

The two sat side by side at the desk. Dahyun had her head down, writing on the exam paper, but beneath her thin bangs and pale eyelids, as she wrote with a hurried stroke of her pen, she finally couldn't help but ask, "..."

Is his relationship with that woman downstairs named "Jessica" that they are lovers? "..." Hirai Momo watched with great interest, although she only understood a little of the Korean she heard.

Judging from the plot and the Korean I could understand, Da-hye, played by Da-hyun, must have a strong liking for Kim Ki-woo, played by her mentor, otherwise she wouldn't have asked such a question.

Meanwhile, the other members sitting in the back row gradually changed their expressions, casting suspicious glances at Kim Da-hyun sitting next to Mina. She was grinning sheepishly, her face twitching as she avoided looking at the other members, pretending to be watching the movie seriously.

"..." Lim Nayeon had a bad feeling.

Could Dahyun's kissing scene have been filmed with her ex-boyfriend? After all, the film is already 30 minutes in, and the key characters have already appeared. It seems unlikely that she would have a kissing scene with someone else...

She scratched her palms and glanced at Kim Da-hyun with a hint of annoyance.

"Jessica, you're quite pretty, aren't you?"

On screen, after hearing Gong Cheng's answer, Kim Da-hyun's troubled expression eased somewhat, a smile playing on her lips as she tentatively asked, "Your acting is really good." She turned her head, her eyes filled with an indescribable emotion, and looked directly into the eyes of her tutor, Gong Cheng: "You don't have any feelings for her?"

"..." Kim Ki-woo, played by Gong Cheng, visibly breathed a sigh of relief. He had initially thought the girl in front of him had exposed his fake identity. As his mindset shifted, he rubbed his neck, smiled, and picked up a pen to write in her textbook: "Da-hye, if Jessica is a rose, then you are..."

"..." As for what it is, Bong Joon-ho did not express it in the movie "Parasite".

But the belatedly aware Hirai Momo, the strangely expressiond Lim Nayeon, Minatozaki Sana, Mani Mina, Son Chaeyoung, Chou Tzuyu, and the slightly raised eyebrows Yoo Jeongyeon and Park Jihyo all looked at Kim Dahyun sitting in the middle of the audience.

At this moment, Tofu's palms were sweating...

But the message conveyed in the film is already quite clear. After glancing at the two figures in her textbook, Da-hye, played by Kim Da-hyun, blushed shyly with her innocent and childlike face. Then, in front of the audience…

Suddenly, in front of Lim Na-yeon, Minatozaki Sana, Mina, Hirai Momo, and Son Chae-young's sisters-in-law, a small hand was stretched out, and the fair fingers were placed on Gong Cheng's wrist with bluish veins, just like the scene at the beginning of the film, when the tutor placed his hand on his pulse.

Son Chaeyoung glanced at Kim Da-hyun in disbelief, biting her little tiger tooth.

The atmosphere from the movie instantly filled the entire theater, a subtle and romantic ambiguity permeating the space.

In the scene, Miyako, with his medium-short hair, glanced at Tae's fingers on his pulse, rolled his Adam's apple, and, with his body turned to the side, kissed her amidst the contracting pupils of… rabbits, dogs, peaches, tigers, fish, and penguins.

After a close-up of Gong Cheng's neck, the camera focused on Jin Daxian's face. Beneath her youthful black bangs, her expression was unwavering, her eyes glistening with affection as she gazed at him. Biting her lower lip, she frankly revealed her inner tension and anticipation.

The moment the white teeth parted their lips, Gong Cheng's hot breath and lips pressed against her pink lips, their lips meeting...

"..."

"Oh my god!" Hirai Momo's mouth dropped open, and she raised her hands to cover her head in a daze.

The soldering iron was stunned!
Mina gritted her teeth, raised her hand and grabbed Kim Da-hyun's wrist, who was sitting next to her, with a slight force, trying to control her anger.

On the screen, Gong Cheng's dark, deep eyes trembled slightly with his long, narrow eyelashes.

Kim Da-hyun, who plays Da-hye, gazes at him with a sweet and dreamy look in her eyes, while her small hands, resting on the desk, slightly clench the pages of her book as the kiss begins.

"..."

The long kiss scene, lasting over ten seconds, slowly panned across the screen, leading many moviegoers to believe that the trending topic tonight would definitely be #Tarot and TWICE's Dahyun's kiss scene#.

Kim Da-hyun sat helplessly and desperately among the members, wanting to run away. She shook her wrist, which was being tightly gripped by Mina, and cautiously asked, "Unnie, my stomach hurts, I need to go to the bathroom..."

run!
"..." Mina glanced at her quietly, but kept quiet, mindful of the moviegoers and passersby in the theater.

Hearing Dahyun's words, Lim Nayeon curled her lips and said coldly, "Dahyun, if unnie has a headache, heartache, or stomachache right now, just bear with it like unnie does..."

"Tzuyu, come on, let's switch seats." Sana Minato leaned forward and patted Tzuyu's thigh.

Hirai Momo and Lim Nayeon also changed seats; one sat next to Son Chaeyoung, and the other sat next to Mina.

Yoo Jeongyeon and Park Jihyo sat on the outermost sides at the left and right ends...

Both of them were shocked... Damn, Hajime?
Six already...

"..." Kim Da-hyun felt quite isolated and helpless in the dimly lit theater. She glanced at Son Chae-young and Mina beside her, one on each side. Next to them were Minatozaki Sana, Lim Na-yeon, and Hirai Momo.

How do you play a five-on-one game?
"I'm hot, you all stay away, unnies..."

She lowered her head and made a quiet request.

"..."

There were five people, but no one paid any attention to her.

The movie on the screen was still playing... Kim Ki-jung then devised a plan to have President Park fire the original driver, and then recommended her father, Kim Ki-taek, as his personal driver. His steady driving skills and respectful demeanor earned him the president's trust. In the end, the three members of the Kim family joined forces to frame Moon-gwang, the housekeeper who knew all the secrets of the villa, for having tuberculosis, so that her mother, Chung-sook, could take over as housekeeper.

In just a few days, the Kim Ki-woo family moved into the Park family home as "professionals" who were complete strangers to each other. They indulged in the mansion's swimming pool and fine wines while the owners were away, acting like the owners themselves.

The plot takes a turn on a rainy night... The Kim family is lavishly enjoying fine wine in their living room. Song Kang-ho, playing Kim Ki-taek, sits on the carpet, facing the camera, but his gaze is somewhat drunken as he sighs:

"Rich people are inherently simple-minded and have no worries..."

The audience in the theater watched the main actors getting into the swing of things in the movie... After listening to his father's words, Kim Ki-woo, played by Gong Cheng, picked up a bottle of liquor, took a sip, and sat half-reclined on the carpet with one hand on his knee. His cheeks were flushed from the drink, and the skin around his eyes was slightly red. He had a self-righteous air about him: "It's not that you're rich but kind, it's that you're rich and therefore kind, understand?"

"If I had that kind of money, I would be very kind, extremely kind... Money is like an iron, it smooths everything out..."

The ugly faces and lines spoken by the Jin family in the living room.

This gave many moviegoers a jolt, from the film's initial portrayal of poverty to...

Some local film critics, while watching the actors' performances on the screen, also deeply analyzed the content of this Palme d'Or-winning film.

……

The immersive viewing experience captivated the members of TWICE, who focused intently on each scene in the movie.

At the end of the movie, at the party that President Park throws for his youngest son, Lim Na-yeon and others are all thinking about what the fate of the Kim family will be at the end.

The camera pans from the party lawn in the courtyard to Tae's room on the second floor.

In front of the floor-to-ceiling window, through the half-drawn curtains...

The focus of Lin Na-yeon, Mina, and the others on the movie's plot was suddenly pulled away.

Gong Cheng's tall figure was behind the curtains, his arm around Jin Daxian's slender waist. The white dress she wore exuded the unique brightness of a young girl and the fragrance of gardenias. Jin Daxian stood on tiptoe, her fair arms wrapped around his neck.

Gong Cheng bent down slightly and pressed it against the wall behind the curtains. From the wide-angle perspective, the view outside the floor-to-ceiling window was a lively scene of sunlight spreading across the courtyard lawn. The two of them hid in the shadows behind the curtains, their lips parting and closing, accompanied by hot breath and burning emotions.

"..."

Lim Na-yeon felt suffocated and trembled in her seat.

And they even stretched out their hands...

Hirai Momo's attention was elsewhere; she glanced at Kim Da-hyun with envy, noting that she could openly kiss her beloved teacher.

Mina grabbed Kim Da-hyun's wrist again, repeatedly signaling herself to stay calm!
"..." Kim Da-hyun leaned back in her chair, heartbroken.

Wow, I'm so handsome! Will I be able to get to the other side?
The members of TWICE watched the romantic yet absurd kissing scene on the screen with varying expressions.

Chou Tzu-yu pursed her lips, looking serious: "Dahyun, how come you kiss so skillfully?"

"Are you secretly dating?" Sana asked, her voice filled with unease, but clearly a question: was she dating Makoto Miyamoto?

For a moment, I felt betrayed yet again...

Upon hearing this, Kim Da-hyun immediately jumped up from her seat. If she were to be accused of dating the handsome man on top of that, she figured she'd be doomed: "Ani... how could that be?"

In her desperation, she offered a desperate explanation: "If I had ever been in a relationship, how could this kissing scene have been reshot more than ten times?"

Before Doufu could even react, Zhou Ziyu's light, soft voice, tinged with disbelief and anger, asked, "So that means you kissed your brother more than ten times?"

"???" Kim Dahyun finally realized what was happening and looked at Chou Tzuyu with a trembling expression.

As Chou Tzu-yu spoke, Tofu, Lim Na-yeon, Minatozaki Sana, Hirai Momo, Mina, and Son Chae-young all felt suffocated.

A feeling of tightness and pressure in my chest.

"Calm down, calm down..." Yu Dingyan quickly whispered, "Let's go back to the dorm and talk."

She glanced at the fans in the front row and gave them a reminder.

Kim Da-hyun blurted out as if on cue, "I have to go to the film set later."

Mina glanced at her: "You're not planning to go back to the dorm?"

"..." Kim Da-hyun immediately wilted, looking listless.

In contrast to the subtle atmosphere surrounding TWICE, moviegoers in the theater were intently watching the film.

At the end of the film... Kim Ki-woo, played by Gong Cheng, receives a Morse code message from his father in the basement, in which he says he is still looking up at the lights of the Park family home in the darkness...

The interweaving of reality and fantasy in the film drew the attention of many viewers to Gong Cheng's fate in the epilogue... but the camera ultimately returned to reality, and he was still that boy folding paper airplanes by the window of the semi-basement; the barriers of class were never truly broken down...

As the film drew to a close, the theater erupted in gasps of admiration and complex sighs.

"Dafa!"

"Oh my god, you're a movie star now, TTArot?"

"Tsk tsk, Tarot should take on more movie roles, my goodness..."

"Won't it be that one movie is all it takes to win the Azure Dragon award?"

"TWICE's Dahyun acted quite well. Her emotional scenes with Tarot seemed like they were really showing their feelings..."

"..." Kim Da-hyun, who had just put on a mask and was being supported by Mina and Sana on either side of her arm, couldn't help but tremble when she heard this comment.

Do you want me to die?!
Shut up!!!

Minami Minatozaki's grip on Da-hyun's shoulder tightened slightly.

"..." The nine people walked out of the theater with different feelings.

Among the departing crowd, a fan, seemingly a die-hard fan of Hirai Momo, shouted in Hirai Momo's direction: "Momo unnie, there's a kissing scene in Dahyun's movie, what did you think of it?"

Hirai Momo's previously gloomy expression instantly transformed into a professional smile upon hearing the fan's voice. She glanced at the fan who had spoken, then pointed slightly to herself with a trembling finger: "My feelings?"

He nodded when he saw the fans.

"Heh heh..." Hirai Momo chuckled awkwardly, her face framed by her platinum blonde hair. She glanced at the timid Kim Da-hyun beside her with an embarrassed look, then forced a smile at the fans and cameras watching: "Um... it's... pretty amazing, isn't it?"

"Hehe..." After saying that, she smiled again, her lips twitching.

"Dahyun-ah~ Saranghae~ Fighting!" A fan of Kim Dahyun, standing in the crowd, holding up a picture of her and beaming with joy at meeting her idol, shouted, "Haibang for her debut! Actress—Kim Dahyun!"

"How did Dahyun feel about the kissing scene with Tarot?" someone asked curiously.

When a fan asked a question, the TWICE members, who were standing next to their manager, couldn't just walk away, so they stopped and stood there for a moment.

Kim Da-hyun forced a professional smile, a hint of resentment in her eyes as she glared at the gossipy person who had asked the question. Out of the corner of her eye, she glanced at her sisters-in-law's forced smiles, seemingly waiting for her answer: "The kissing scene with Oppa..."

"Um……"

Can I say it's very alluring?
“Tarot oppa is a very dedicated actor.” Kim Da-hyun didn’t know how to answer, so she could only bite the bullet and speak.

"..."

……

After TWICE and the others left Lotte Building, the atmosphere in the van was very gloomy.

Son Chaeyoung and Mina deliberately squeezed into the carriage with Minatozaki Sana, Lim Nayeon, Hirai Momo, and Kim Dahyun.

There are enough seats for six people.

"Unnie, let's go straight back to the dorm..."

Lim Nayeon spoke to her manager, who was driving, saying that the group didn't have many scheduled activities recently and they had plenty of free time.

"..."

Kim Da-hyun wished she could jump out of the car and run away.

But then I think about Garlic Bird, how could Big Handsome survive without me...?

Hey there, where are you?

Mo will come to my rescue... My great commander is a peerless hero, riding on auspicious clouds of seven colors...

……

Half an hour later, the five people escorted Kim Da-hyun back to the maknae line's dorm, just like escorting a prisoner.

Yu Dingyan, clutching potato chips and coffee, plopped down on the sofa, casually and perfunctorily saying, "Okay, okay, don't be like that, it's just filming a movie~"

Kim Dahyun glanced at this unnie who seemed to be talking without any real understanding of the situation. Why did she look like she was speaking up for her? Her face was full of eager anticipation, like she was watching a drama unfold. "That's right, that's right..."

She forced herself to speak, hoping her sisters-in-law would go easy on her.

Nayeon crossed her arms and shrugged, looking at the pitiful-looking Dahyun in front of her: "Is this just about filming a movie?" She turned to Jeongyeon, who seemed to enjoy the drama, "Dahyun was kissing my boyfriend? I had no idea..."

Kim Da-hyun was immediately displeased. How could they label someone like that? She raised her eyelids, her eyes lowered meekly: "Your ex-boyfriend..."

Please watch your wording. You and DaDaShuai are now in the past.

Lim Nayeon's temper flared instantly. She looked at Tofu, who had talked back, in disbelief. This was like stabbing her in the heart: "So when you were kissing him, was I dating him?"

"I didn't know you two were dating... You didn't say anything either." After calming down, Kim Da-hyun thought about his usual handsome, shameless, and irresponsible self, and braced himself to try to turn the situation around.

She had initially thought that Da Da Shuai's shameless actions would be embarrassing, but now, as she said these words, she realized that she was actually quite self-righteous and adept at it...

Nayeon pointed at her angrily, "Then why did you hide your kissing scene with him from us? We've asked you so many times these past two days, haven't we?"

Kim Da-hyun glanced at the jackals and insects around her.

Tzuyu, Chaeyoung, Sana Minatozaki, Momo Hirai, Mina Mina—these "sisters-in-law" seem to be preparing to take down Nayeon one by one, especially after seeing Nayeon lose points; they even have a "warlike" look on their faces.
Kim Da-hyun rubbed her head, feeling a bit annoyed, and straightened her back.

Damn it, you bunch of scum, you all think I'm easy to bully, huh? Damn it, I, General Jin, will explode against you today!
A single punch can prevent a hundred blows!

"You asked... because PDnim said not to reveal that I filmed a kissing scene with oppa, because he wants to use this to boost my personal popularity and then give back to the group TWICE." Kim Da-hyun deftly shifted the blame to Park Jin-young, the director, who had a perfectly reasonable explanation.

Zhenying, you're on the receiving end of this blame.

"I did something wrong by trying to make the group better?"

Kim Da-hyun added, raising her fair face, looking very aggrieved.

Lim Nayeon stared at Kim Dahyun, speechless. The way Dahyun said that...it seemed so familiar...

For a moment, she actually saw the shadow of her ex-boyfriend in Kim Da-hyun.

Haji Cheng: Little monster, I'm with you!
Seeing that Lim Nayeon wanted to say something more.

Kim Da-hyun quickly got off the sofa, turned on the small camera on the table, and found a video that Minatozaki Sana's sister-in-law had filmed a few hours earlier, in the nanny van.

She gritted her teeth and clicked to play the video, turning the volume up to the maximum.

Previously, Yoo Jeongyeon, Mina, Tzuyu, and Chaeyoung, who were in another van, all looked over curiously.

In the video, Lim Nayeon is all smiles, showing her signature bunny teeth, and laughing energetically: "...As unnies, of course we support Dahyun's acting career!"

"So, whether it's kissing scenes or anything like that..."

"Huai Ting, well done! Da Hyun!"

At the end of the video, the image of Lin Nalian grinning and giving a thumbs-up was quite comical in the eyes of Mina and the others.

Lim Nayeon stood to the side, staring at the ending video, her body trembling with fear!
Blood pressure is rising!

Kim Da-hyun immediately interrupted the spellcasting: "Unnie, you said you'd support me... I did exactly as you said..."

"That's because I didn't know, okay?" Lim Nayeon retorted angrily, rolling her eyes and almost collapsing.

It's infuriating...

"I'll just ask you one question: during filming, I was dating him, did you sleep with him?" Lim Nayeon, suffering from PTSD, steered the conversation toward this point. That bad boy couldn't possibly have cheated on Dahyun back then, could he?

Dahyun doesn't seem like that kind of person!
"No! It's just filming..." Kim Da-hyun didn't dare take the blame and lowered her head to tell the truth.

"Phew..." Lim Nayeon finally felt a little relieved after catching her breath.

"..." Minatozaki Sana gave Lim Nayeon a disdainful look without any mercy.

What level is that, haha.

Watch me!
"Da-hyun..."

The puppy's slightly cold voice had barely opened its mouth when it started speaking, before it could finish its sentence.

Dahyun raised her hand, and Sana, her fair face tilted back, looked at her with a questioning gaze: "Unnie, you're an ex-girlfriend too, shut up!!!"
