The number one playboy on the Peninsula!

Chapter 405 Dividing the Ball
"You haven't forgotten our previous agreement, have you?"

Stepping out of the back gate of the apartment complex, Lim Nayeon looked around at her surroundings, then subconsciously crouched down, feeling that discussing confidential matters in this way was more in line with her personality and would make her feel more at ease.

Sana Minatozaki wrinkled her nose and nodded: "Of course I haven't forgotten, it's about forming an alliance!"

Lim Nayeon gave her a satisfied look: "Momo is unreliable and seems a bit silly, but I didn't expect her to have a backup plan."

As she spoke, she pursed her lips, remembering Hirai Momo's little scheme.

"Sigh, when you think about it, it's like Miyako has become a completely different person." Minatozaki Sana's bright eyes above her mask glanced at the passersby and sighed, "When I try to meet him, he always uses 'I'm busy' as an excuse, and why is he talking about Tamamo-no-Mae?"

Lim Nayeon leaned close to her and whispered with deep sympathy, "I also found this news very sudden. Logically speaking... if I would know it, he shouldn't know it either?"

"After all, he was the one who kept cheating on me, and I was the one who kept getting hurt. If I should get Yu Yu, it should be me."

Speaking of this, she couldn't help but think of the "Jiangdong women" of the past... now scattered and each ruling their own territory.

"..."

The two chatted as they walked into the convenience store, quickly stocking up on alcoholic beverages and soft drinks.

"Cho Mi-yeon, Bae Joo-hyun, Kim Ji-soo..."

Nayeon, carrying a large bag of drinks, walked out of the convenience store with some difficulty. She turned to Sana Minatozaki and asked, "Do you think he might have more women outside of TWICE than we do?"

"Who knows?" Sana Minatozaki thought about all the messy things that had happened with Xiaobaicai, and felt a little uncertain. Her eyes darted around as she said, "Anyway, let me tell you something reliable. After his 'Yuyu' scandal broke, actually, I called him privately..."

Upon hearing this, seeing that the surrounding streets were deserted, Lim Nayeon quickly pulled down her mask, took a deep breath of fresh air, and said nonchalantly, "Talking on the phone? That's nothing. The problem is that I also talked to him, but I can't see him. That's what's distressing and worrying."

She grinned, showing her rabbit teeth, and said something before pulling up her mask again. In her heart, she thought that her friend was extending goodwill to her because of the alliance, telling her about her and Gong Cheng to build a solid foundation of trust between them.

“Ani, that’s not what I meant.”

Sana Minatosaki scratched her head, and said embarrassedly, "I mean, I hinted at it to him on the phone... but he still didn't agree to meet."

Now, Lim Nayeon belatedly realized what she meant. She squinted at the puppy and asked, "Is the implication that you're planning to give it to him again?"

"No, I didn't really mean to..." Minatozaki Sana told a little lie with her pink eyelids, "...just a test! Just a test!"

"The main problem is that the media keeps talking about Gong Cheng cutting his wrists, jumping off buildings, and Zisha teapots online every day... Oh my god, if I don't see him, I really start to have all sorts of wild thoughts."

She lifted the bag of snacks in her hand with force, her words full of concern.

Seeing news like that every day, especially since the person involved is her ex-boyfriend, has caused Sana Minatozaki to have frequent nightmares lately. In her dreams, everything is normal, just like in reality, but then she receives news of Xiaobaicai's death, and then she wakes up from the dream in a fright.

Haji Cheng: I beg you to wish me well...

"He wouldn't really be that desperate, would he?" Lim Nayeon muttered worriedly. If she hadn't learned from Dahyun that her ex-boyfriend was safe and sound, she would have wanted to immediately go to her aunt and uncle's house and throw a tantrum to see Gong Cheng: "I don't want to be a widow..."

Upon hearing this, Sana Minatozaki gave her a somewhat displeased look: "First of all, you and Makoto Miyamoto have already broken up. You were just dating before, so what do you mean by 'widow'? Besides, aren't you cursing him?"

Shameless...

"You're talking like you haven't broken up with him?" Lim Nayeon scoffed, but after taking only a few steps, she added seriously, "Be careful of Tzuyu, Tzuyu!"

Having witnessed Mina's misfortune at Tzuyu's hands, Minatozaki Sana quickly nodded, "Alas."

Nayeon analyzed with the air of a strategist: "In short, Momo definitely won't be on our side. We're the real ex-girlfriends, so we need to team up. Chaeyoung is getting very close to Mina now, I think..."

"Those two are probably trying to team up and block us from getting out, you understand?"

She specifically explained things to Sana beside her, hoping she would recognize the situation, and also fearing that Sana might do something to betray them. Moreover, Lim Nayeon actually felt that this ally wasn't very smart; she thought Sana's IQ was second only to the others in the Sakura Line.

At first glance, she seems very intelligent, but the Sakura Line only has three members.

“I understand. Mina likes to do these underhanded things, and Chaeyoung, despite her seemingly indifferent attitude, is very shrewd.” Sana Minatozaki had her own insights, then looked at Nayeon seriously: “Unnie, didn’t you break up completely?”

"Why are you getting involved...?"

She didn't really want the older sister around her to get involved anymore. Could it be that she really wanted to give in to Xiaobaicai's wishes and fulfill his dream?

"I did it to maintain peace within TWICE..." Lim Nayeon offered a guilty excuse: "Yes! To fight for peace! Besides, aren't you also my ex-girlfriend?"

Sana Minatozaki wrinkled her nose frankly: "But I'm determined to take it back for Makoto Miyamoto. I've given it to him so many times, I can't just give it away for nothing, can I?"

They made no attempt to conceal their thoughts.

"..." Lin Nayeon glanced back at her, but didn't say anything.

You're next!
……

In the evening, Gong Cheng, having finished the poster shoot, drove to Jiangdong District with the gift he had prepared for Zhou Ziyu.

Speaking of which, he was in a pretty good mood today. Even though seeing the outrageous trending topics online made him definitively confirm the return date, none of that mattered, right?
On the contrary, Gong Cheng is now in a mood that is both cheerful and somewhat at a loss.

He hadn't expected Mina to ask him to attend Tzuyu's birthday party. He figured the TWICE members would all be there... It was bound to be a little awkward facing his girlfriend and ex-girlfriends after so long.

Unfortunately, he forgot his diary and left it at the villa in Seongbuk-dong.

The main issue was that it happened suddenly...

"Hey, Tzuyu..."

Gong Cheng swiped his phone screen and answered Zhou Ziyu's call: "Yes, Mina-chan told me that I'm on my way there now."

……

"..."

In a supermarket in Koto, Hirai Momo was carrying a basket and carefully selecting fresh vegetables from the shelves. She was very particular about what she ate.

Just like men, she also wants to eat the best.

Chou Tzu-yu followed behind her, continuing her phone call: "Could you come to the nearby supermarket and pick us up? We bought a lot of things, and some of them are too heavy to carry."

Hirai Momo, who was squatting in front of the shelf, paused for a moment. She glanced at Chou Tzu-yu and, after seeing her hang up the phone, asked softly, "Oppa Mo?"

"Yes, unnie~"

Tzuyu smiled at her with her short face and coaxed, "How about it, unnie? Aren't I loyal? I knew you wanted to see your brother, so I specially asked him to pick us up. You can be the first to see him, doesn't that give you an advantage over Nayeon unnie and Sana unnie?"

Actually, there wasn't much of a story. She just wanted to spend more time with Gong Cheng privately, but Mina unnie messed things up. But it's okay… Zhou Tzuyu is going to use tonight's opportunity to officially tell these unnies, "I'm coming into the scene…"

That night, that kiss—should I consider that dating my brother?

"Wow! Awesome!" Hirai Momo immediately stood up and patted Chou Tzu-yu on the shoulder: "So loyal!"

"...But speaking of which, don't you really like Obamo?"

She wasn't stupid; she looked at the sinister-looking maknae with suspicion.

You little slut, do you think I'm stupid?

Tzuyu glanced around, moved closer to her, and said according to her prepared statement, "Yeah, but compared to Mina unnie, I still prefer Momo unnie~"

"What does this have to do with your liking oppa?" Hirai Momo asked, frowning. What topic should she change?

However, a sudden thought flashed through her mind, and she looked at Chou Tzu-yu: "Could it be..."

"You also disapprove of Mina's arrogant and domineering attitude in the group?" At this point, Hirai Momo smiled knowingly, as if she had guessed Chou Tzu-yu's thoughts, and smugly curled her lips: "Want to kick her out? Support my rise to the top..."

That's what popularity is all about, Mina-chan!
Chou Tzu-yu nodded in agreement and continued to praise, "Unnie has done a lot for the group and is very generous. Of course I support you."

She, the saury, refused to believe that Mina couldn't be brought down.
"But you still haven't answered me. Don't you like Oppa? How could you do this..." Hirai Momo steered the conversation back, glancing at her: "Are you using me?"

As she spoke, she picked up another box of steaks, checked the date, and tossed it into her carrying case.

"So what if I am? Unnie..." Chou Tzuyu sighed softly and whispered, "Actually, I'm dating hyung too, but no matter who of us dates hyung, will Mina unnie give us a good look?"

“I’m young, and I know you were here first, so I don’t like to fight or snatch things…” She blinked her mournful eyes and met Hirai Momo’s somewhat surprised gaze.

"Didn't you notice that they were all working together when we went out today?" Zhou Ziyu pointed out, her past experience in struggles telling her that isolation and helplessness were not an option.

But there aren't any good allies to choose from, so I can only choose this scrap unnie in front of me. But she's pretty good, isn't she? She's easy to fool!
Hirai Momo thought for a moment, and realized that in the dorm, she had indeed recently felt isolated and ostracized by Nayeon and Sana. After all, the three of them used to fight all over the place in the past, but things had calmed down a bit lately.
"I think so too!"

Coming to her senses, Hirai Momo first tried to save face by saying something, then looked at Chou Tzuyu with a smile: "Then let's form an alliance, Tzuyu!"

"Wait for me to go up..."

Momo wasn't stupid. She knew that since this maknae (youngest member) dared to go to such lengths to help her, he must have something in mind. She confidently said, "I'll turn a blind eye to your behavior..."

"..." Zhou Ziyu feigned a surprised smile, while inwardly she was ranting and raving.

You're turning a blind eye to this?

roadside.

……

Twenty minutes later, Gong Cheng parked the car in the supermarket's underground parking garage. The Pagani, outlined in black and white, stood out conspicuously in the parking space. Many passersby took photos of the car with their phones or exclaimed in amazement.

"..."

Gong Cheng, wearing a baseball cap, sat in the carriage when he suddenly remembered something. Feeling somewhat helpless, he sent a message to Zhou Ziyu uncertainly: "How many of you are there?"

There's not enough room; this is a two-seater car.

If it's just Tzuyu, that would be perfect, but even one more wouldn't work.

"Two of me and Momo unnie, what's wrong, oppa?"

“Kenchana, it’s nothing serious. I’ll wait for you in the basement. Let’s walk back together.” Gong Cheng thought for a moment and made a decision.

"..."

A short while later, Chou Tzu-yu and Hirai Momo discreetly carried large and small bags down to the underground parking lot and stood behind an inconspicuous pillar.

Upon seeing the Pagani parked not far away, the two immediately understood why they had to walk back.

"How much does this cost?" Chou Tzu-yu's eyelids twitched. Her brother's new car?

Even knowing how monstrous Gong Cheng's wealth accumulation has been over the past few years, a sports car like this, whose engine alone roars with the sound of money, must be incredibly expensive.

Hirai Momo knew a little about it, but not much, and made a rough guess: "Several billion Korean won?"

Meanwhile, comparing his earnings over the past few years since his debut, he realized that all of them combined might only be enough to buy this sports car.
As the current top girl group, TWICE earns a lot of money, but their profit-sharing ratio is different from that of their idols. Furthermore, after deducting the company's share, the remaining profits for the group are split equally among the nine members. Ultimately, their annual share isn't much, but within K-pop, their income is still among the highest. "..."

After noticing that there were fewer pedestrians in the underground parking lot, Gong Cheng got out of the car and hurriedly walked towards Hirai Momo and Zhou Tzuyu, who were standing behind a pillar not far away.

Hirai Momo stood still, watching that tall figure get closer and closer. Her eyes inexplicably reddened. She took a step, thinking about a textbook romantic idol drama scene. If not a kiss, then a hug would be fine, right?

"Mind your manners..." Chou Tzu-yu reached out and grabbed the unnie's wrist, clearly annoyed.

Hirai Momo hummed in agreement, her gaze falling on Miyako, who was dressed in a simple black crew-neck T-shirt. On his well-defined wrist was a Rolex Cosmograph Daytona watch with eye-catching rainbow-colored diamond engravings. He wore dark blue straight-leg jeans and LV sneakers, looking casual and refreshing.

Gong Cheng approached the two of them, his eyes under the brim of his hat fixed on Hirai Momo, as if he wanted to say something to his beloved student.

But Hirai Momo spoke first, her expression sweet: "Long time no see, I've missed you so much..."

"Arasso..."

Gong Cheng chuckled under his hat at the somewhat silly greeting, wanting to reach out and ruffle Momo-chan's short, black hair, but then lowered his hand out of consideration for the occasion.

He took the bags from Hirai Momo and Chou Tzu-yu, and glanced at them briefly to see that they had bought quite a lot of things.

"Oppa, isn't there anything you want to say to me?"

Hirai Momo stood there, watching his profile as he bent down to take the bag. She hadn't seen her beloved teacher for more than half a month. The warm and handsome face in her memory overlapped with the face so close to hers, and he was still handsome.

But perhaps after learning about her beloved teacher "Yu Yu," she felt that no matter how she looked at that smiling face, there was a deep sadness hidden within.

A surge of emotions welled up within her again. At the beginning of the month, she planned to seek out her beloved teacher to end the cooling-off period.

But he actually rejected her… It was as if he wanted to break up with her, and Hirai Momo found it hard to accept…

It's like she finally mustered up the mental strength to realize that her teacher was such a jerk, and that she already knew all along, right? But in the end, she was the one who should have suggested breaking up, but she didn't. She was even prepared to continue living in a daze.

But his attitude makes it seem like he wants to get rid of you...

Who can bear this?

"Yes, but let's talk about it when we get back..."

Gong Cheng glanced at her rosy eyes and answered.

After saying that, the three of them walked out of the underground parking lot. Fortunately, the supermarket was not far from the dormitory complex. It took them more than ten minutes to walk to the complex.

As the night grew darker, Gong Cheng put down the bags he was carrying in the grass as he passed the small square in the community's green space. He then plopped down on a bench and shook his slightly sore wrists.

Hirai Momo sat down next to him, staring blankly at him, hoping her teacher could give her a satisfactory answer regarding that day's question: "Oppa doesn't like me anymore?"

Tzuyu sat on the other side of Gong Cheng, listening to her unnie and brother's conversation, feeling a little smug.

“Ani, it’s just that there are a lot of tricky things to deal with one by one recently.” Gong Cheng knew what his beloved disciple was talking about, but in the first two days after his illness was exposed, he really didn’t have the mind to answer his girlfriends’ calls. People inevitably get tired sometimes, especially with a whole bunch of things to deal with, like ex-girlfriends, girlfriends, casual sex partners, mistresses, and so on.

Momo seized the opportunity to speak, her tone aggrieved: "The troublesome thing Oppa mentioned, is it because of your illness? Why did you prefer to go for treatment secretly instead of telling me?"

"I feel like I'm nothing to you..."

"No, not at all." Gong Cheng leaned back on the bench, looked earnestly into Hirai Momo's misty eyes, and grasped her hand: "I originally thought that I would recover quickly, and that you wouldn't have to worry about me anymore, but I didn't expect that the result would be a bit bad."

Hirai Momo blinked, feeling the warmth of her palm, and felt a little better: "Oppa, when you were telling me that I only had a teacher's wife, how could you consider my feelings and not tell the truth?"

"Why are you sick now and not considering my feelings? It's such a big thing, and you didn't tell me. I'll be very concerned, concerned about whether I've truly entered your heart."

She explained what she cared about.

Gong Cheng listened attentively to Hirai Momo's heartfelt words; this was the bare minimum of respect. No sooner had the adorable student finished speaking than Zhou Ziyu chimed in from the other side, "That's right, brother, unnie and I will always be there for you."

"you?"

Gong Cheng was a little confused. He glanced at the little black fish's cheek and tentatively asked, "What identity should we use?"

This doesn't sound like something siblings would say...

Chou Tzu-yu felt extremely uncomfortable under his gaze. She pursed her lips and muttered, "Girlfriend...aren't we dating?"

We kissed, brother.

Hirai Momo blinked curiously at her teacher and the youngest member.

"You didn't confess your feelings to me either~"

Gong Cheng said it casually, but seeing his good sister's immediately cold expression, he forced a smile: "Ani, just kidding~ hh~"

After saying that, he quickly reached out his right hand and took his sister's hand.

One Hirai Momo in one hand, and Chou Tzu-yu in the other.

Haji Cheng sat in the middle of the bench, feeling rather pleased.

Glancing at Tzuyu's slightly flushed face, and then at the silent Hirai Momo, Miyako observed the surrounding night environment, mustered his courage, and tentatively moved closer to Hirai Momo, giving his beloved student a quick kiss.

After sensing Tzuyu's trembling shoulders, Gong Cheng used the same trick again, moving closer to his good sister and giving her a quick kiss.

Since you say we're dating, don't blame me~
Lord Gong is very fair... and he's also very good at seizing opportunities to attack right up close!

"Oppa really doesn't look sick. He's taking advantage of people's kindness." Hirai Momo's lips trembled slightly. She glared at Miyako, but didn't say anything. Her master was sick, so why bother arguing with him?
Chou Tzu-yu's face was tense with a "bearing of humiliation" expression, but she made up her mind that one day she would teach her unnies and this audacious older brother a lesson.

Compared to other unnies, Fathead Fish doesn't think she has any advantages, except for being young.

"..."

Gong Cheng felt a surge of joy after they each kissed.

What can you do to me?
He stood up, not daring to show off too much, picked up his bags, and prepared to go upstairs. But he hesitated in front of the stairwell, thinking about how long it had been since he'd seen the big star, and the little dog...

Actually, the women aren't a big deal, since they've all been honest with each other.

But when facing her best friend Hajiyan and Hajicheng, she always felt a little awkward. It was as if her best friend's brothers had all stolen her away—no, wait, Gong Cheng had left her with a love interest!
Stepping into the elevator...

Chou Tzu-yu deliberately stood behind Miyako and Hirai Momo, picked up her phone, and first tagged Son Chae-young in the "Food Party Line" group chat: "Chae-young~ It seems like oppa is going to make up with Momo unnie~"

Immediately afterwards, she continued to scroll through the Kakao message page. As soon as she saw the dozen or so group chats, Zhou Ziyu felt a mess in her mind.

TWICE has nine members, and just with her there are more than a dozen group chats of all sizes...

ε=(ο｀*)))Alas~
Tzuyu simply messaged Mina directly: "Unnie, it seems like hyung and Momo unnie are making up~"

Then, he copied the message and pasted it into the chat box between Minatozaki Sana and Lim Nayeon.

"I saw her kissing her brother!"

Feeling it wasn't exciting enough, Chou Tzu-yu added another sentence, then chuckled and put her phone away.

But as soon as I put my phone away, two phone beeps rang.

Chou Tzu-yu opened her phone and glanced at the messages on the "Food Party Line".

[Dahyun]: "How come you see everything? (Suspicious)"

That was a bit harsh...

Gong Cheng, who was standing in front, took out his phone and glanced at the Kakao message. It was a message from [Spy Yong 1], containing a screenshot of a chat. The group chat was named "Food Group Line".

Gong Cheng looked closely and saw that a certain little black fish, who was stirring up trouble, had posted in the group chat: "Chaeyoung~ It seems like oppa and Momo unnie are making up~ I even saw them kissing~"

He lifted his eyelids, staring at the reflection of the figure in the elevator door, feeling a terrible headache.

Immediately afterwards, she opened Mina's chat box: "Mina-chan, Momo-chan kissed me~ Just letting you know~ Tzuyu also kissed me forcibly when I wasn't paying attention, just like that night."

Gong Cheng was very considerate of Mina's feelings. Based on his understanding of Tzuyu, since she sent it to Chaeyoung, he figured the other female friends would probably send it too, so... it wasn't that he was in a hurry to distance himself, he just wanted to clarify things so that Mina wouldn't overthink things.

A good boyfriend is one who keeps his girlfriend informed of his whereabouts!

Immediately afterwards, he sent a message to Mina with a sigh: "Sigh, he's really grown up, I can't control him anymore."

……

"Chaeyoung, what do you think?"

Minami and Chaeyoung, who had just returned to their dormitory complex, stared at their respective chat groups and asked a question.

Son Chaeyoung glanced at the message Tzuyu sent in the group chat, then looked at Mina's phone screen at her boyfriend's shameless words: "What do you mean, how do I look? I wasn't standing there looking, was I?"

Mina was annoyed by her nonchalant attitude: "Do you really want Nayeon unnie, Sana, and Momo to come back?"

"It doesn't matter~"

Son Chaeyoung shrugged, holding an ice cream in her hand, took a bite, and scoffed, "Don't even think I'll be on your side~ I don't trust you~ and you won't trust me either~"

“I wasn’t planning on teaming up with you either, but it seems like they’re all targeting us?” Mina replied to Makoto with an eye-rolling emoji, indicating that she understood.

She was very satisfied with Cheng-chan's daily updates.

But given the current situation, Mina felt like she was the target of everyone's criticism. It was Tzuyu, and the trio of ex-girlfriends upstairs. She really wanted to find someone to team up with and bring them down, like Chaeyoung, and then kick Chaeyoung to death!
"What about Tzuyu~" Son Chaeyoung said, biting into her ice cream, the coolness in her mouth. She raised her eyelids and looked at Mingnan: "Why do you care about them? Since Tzuyu sent you those messages that betrayed Momo unnie, why don't you just send the screenshots to Momo unnie?"

Mina thought, "Maybe Tzuyu also told Nayeon unnie and Sana about this? So they can deal with Momo, and then Momo can deal with Tzuyu?"

Without hesitation, Mina took a screenshot and ruthlessly revealed the maknae's betrayal to Momo.

"..."

As she went upstairs, Son Chae-young suddenly felt a little restless and looked at Mina.

As I grew increasingly speechless at my father's messy behavior, some long-buried thoughts resurfaced...

"Joining forces isn't out of the question?" she said with a grin. "But for the sake of our trust, we need to build trust!"

Mina gave her a cold look, wondering why she had suddenly changed her mind, but then asked curiously, "How do we set it up?"

"secret!"

Son Chaeyoung grinned, revealing her tiger teeth, and a glint of light flashed in her eyes!
She had a plan...

Not only can I deal with this unnie, but I can also make her suffer in silence~ and satisfy some of my strange ideas.
