The number one playboy on the Peninsula!

Chapter 95: Blood, Sweat, and Tears, Spring Day (Subscribe)
The next day, Gong Cheng came to JYP with his head covered with stinging pain.

I drank quite a lot with Jackson Wang and Jae-Bum Park last night, but it was quite enjoyable.

"Hey, why is there no one here?" He pushed open the door of Twice's practice room and found it empty.

Jin Dae-woo, who was following behind him, said angrily, "Ah Xi! Brat, do you really think you are the tenth member of Twice?"

"Twice is flying to the US today to attend the KCON LA concert. They probably won't be back for three days."

"Is that so? Well, everyone is busy, it's better to be busy!" Gong Cheng sighed rather dejectedly.

It's not that he has to run to Twice's practice room. The main reason is that after all, being with a group of girls is more pleasing to the eyes and more comfortable than being with this greasy uncle behind him, right?

"President." Kim Dae-woo looked at Park Jin-young who was walking towards him in the corridor in surprise and greeted him.

"Brother Zhenying, good morning!" Gong Cheng forced a smile.

"Let's go to your practice room. I'm looking for you." Park Jin Young patted his shoulder and told him why he came.

Come to the practice room.

Park Jin-young stroked his chin and asked seriously, "Xiao Cheng, do you have any ideas about your next comeback?"

"Brother, are you talking about the return process?" Gong Cheng couldn't help but become serious when he heard the question about his future.

"Yes, the company plans to release a series of albums like Big Bang did last year, releasing one album a month and including two singles. Of course, this is just a preliminary idea, and the details are still under discussion." Park Jin Young recounted the results of the company's internal meetings over the past two days.

There are more than one options under discussion, but based on the current situation, this option is the most reliable.

"Big Bang? Brother, the company should know how much resources are needed to produce a series of albums. Do they dare to bet on me?" After thinking about it, Gong Cheng immediately rejected the idea.

Those guys in ties weren't stupid. Since they had proposed this plan and the company wasn't willing to invest significant resources, it was definitely a watered-down version that wouldn't benefit them in the slightest.

Moreover, with Twice's recent comeback, the release of their album "PAGE TWO," and the huge success of their title song "CHEER UP," it's unclear who is the company's cash cow, between them.

It's clear at a glance.

Otherwise, the company would not have stepped up production on Twice's third mini album.

Park Jin-young sighed, "The important issue right now is that your comeback this time can't just be as simple as releasing an album. It needs to be something innovative. In short, the bigger the gimmick, the better. That's how we stand a chance of success!"

"Also, public opinion has calmed down quite a bit in the past two days, but it's hard to say whether this kind of thing is good or bad."

"How about you arrange a romance between a Twice member and me? Make it public?" Gong Cheng raised his eyebrows and made a cheerful joke. Why did the atmosphere become more and more depressing?
"Damn it! You little brat! What are you talking about!" Park Jin Young's face changed immediately.

"You're wrong, brother! It was just a joke!" Gong Cheng lay on the sofa in frustration, and suddenly remembered what Park Jae-fan said when he was drinking with him last night.

I casually said: "If it's a big gimmick..."

"Brother, how about forming a limited-time group? It lasts for six months, then we disband, or we can go solo without disbanding?"

As he spoke, Gong Cheng felt more and more that this idea was feasible. He sat up straight and glanced at the stunned Park Jin-young: "It would save you from constantly thinking about my song "Blood, Sweat and Tears". Can GOT7 sing it?"

"Besides, brother, didn't you ask me to do pop music? I wrote two more songs these past two days, both of the kind you mentioned. When the time comes, I can just find a few artists, assign parts, and practice some dancing, right?"

"Are you serious?" Park Jin-young raised his head and asked. Then he looked deep in thought.

"Anyway, I think it's okay. For me, singing 'Blood, Sweat, and Tears', as well as a few other boy band songs, is definitely not an option for others! But it's a shame to just leave them in the music library, so I might as well take this opportunity to create them myself!"

"As for the quality, Brother Zhenying, you can see it yourself, otherwise you wouldn't want to give this song 'Blood Sweat and Tears' to GOT7." Gong Cheng was silent for a moment, then spoke again: "Besides, a limited-edition group is a gimmick in itself."

"We can release a preview right away. Besides me, we can also announce the next member of the limited group based on the progress of our album production. This way, the hype will last and the group's mystery will be preserved."

"As for the selection, I can be the lead singer and can also do some dancing. After all, I have a boxing background, so it won't be difficult. At most, we can find another lead singer and two main dancers, and this limited group will be launched!"

Gong Cheng spoke out all his current thoughts in one breath. At the moment, this method is indeed the one that can bring him the greatest popularity and exposure.

He is particularly confident about the songs he produced, including "Fake Love", "Blood Sweat and Tears", "Maybe" and several songs that have not yet been completed.

This was his desperate determination, otherwise he would return in obscurity. He had no choice but to go back to Yonsei University to fall in love and study.

"Limited group?" Park Jin-young considered it and decided it was feasible. However, selecting the group members was difficult; he definitely couldn't just cram in a few trainees. The way this brat was thinking, he had to find someone incredibly popular.

To put it bluntly, he is an artist who can help Gong Cheng recover some money with just a little help!
"Do you have any suitable candidates? The company can try to contact them."

"Park Jae-Bum, Jackson Wang, Henry Lau, Lim Young-Woong..." Gong Cheng thought for a moment and rattled off a long list of names, most of which were decent artists. Then, he suddenly smiled strangely, "Brother Jin-Young, do you think it's possible?"

"What's possible?"

"I mean, should we get one of the third-place guys from EXO over here?" Gong Cheng raised an eyebrow and smiled excitedly, "I can't even imagine how much excitement would explode if we could really get one of them over? Especially in the Peninsula!"

If I could really pull it here, oh my, poor Ellie~
What a pity, no one is running for bts...

"Are you talking about Lu Han?"

"Yes, it would be nice for this guy to be the main dancer." Gong Cheng shrugged.

"We still need to hold a meeting to discuss this. As for Park Jae-bum, well," Park Jin-young stood up, as if he was about to call a meeting. "Forget about Jackson. He has a variety show scheduled in your country, and GOT7 is releasing their second full-length album at the end of September."

"As for Henry Lau, Lin Yingxiong, and Lu Han, the company will send out invitations to see their intentions."

"I know, brother."

Gong Cheng nodded and sent Park Jin Young away. He just put forward his own ideas. As for whether the rest could be accomplished, the negotiations between the company and the agencies behind the artists, and the profit sharing, those were all things that the company needed to worry about.

And this limited group isn't just a joke; everyone will work together, release an album together, and perform on stage. When the period ends, whether to disband or go solo is entirely up to the members' personal preferences.

Therefore, he put most of the list of members on artists who currently have no background in any group.

……

In the afternoon, Gong Cheng came out of the composing room and threw the song "Spring Day" for which he had just finished writing the lyrics to Park Jin Young.

Soon after, Jin Dae-woo came over with a dance teacher from the company. Apparently, the company had already agreed to his plan.

They will be making a comeback as a limited group. However, since it's a limited group, it should be considered a debut, right?

In the next two days, in addition to running back and forth between the composition studio and the crew, Gong Cheng also had an additional task: choreographing with several JYP dance teachers while also strengthening his own dance foundation.

During this period, Lin Yingxiong met with Gong Cheng. This brother's current situation is similar to his, and he is also an idle person.

He was a nobody as soon as he debuted. But he doesn't have as many die-hard fans and insults as Gong Cheng.

Lim Young-woong personally supported the limited-edition collaboration. Furthermore, since he founded his own music company, negotiations were relatively easy. So, after the collaboration was confirmed, he spent a lot of time at JYP Entertainment, meeting up with Gong Cheng and discussing song details.

"Take a break, brother." Inside the practice room, Gong Cheng handed Lin Yingxiong a towel and motioned him to wipe the sweat off his face.

According to him, Lin Yingxiong and himself were the lead singers of the group, but their dancing skills still had to be decent. After all, the choreography for Blood, Sweat and Tears was quite difficult.

After constant negotiations with Park Jin-young over the past two days, the scale of the limited group in his mind has become increasingly clear. He is fully responsible for the production of the entire album. As for the remaining two unknown members, he personally prefers Park Jae-bum and Luhan.

Both of them are from boy bands and have strong dance skills, making them suitable for lead dancers. They are the type who can sing and dance. Most importantly, he and Luhan are Chinese citizens, while Park Jae-bum is American, and finally, Lim Young-woong is a native of the peninsula.

"By the way, Xiao Cheng. What's the name of our limited group?" Lin Yingxiong took a sip of water. After seeing the songs produced by Gong Cheng in the past two days, he felt more and more that this cooperation was right.

Just from his perspective, let alone the arrangement of "Fake Love", it gives people goosebumps.

"Brother, the company's plans haven't started yet," Gong Cheng said dejectedly. The company was still negotiating with Park Jae-bum, Luhan, and the other artists, and the members hadn't been finalized yet. "If that doesn't work out, brother, we can just sing, and I'll find some professional dancers and set up a stage."

No matter what, he must continue to sing this drama!

"Gong Cheng oppa, what are you doing?"

"Oh, am I seeing right? Are you practicing dancing?"

Suddenly, several voices and curious figures appeared in front of the practice room door.

Hirai Momo and Lim Nayeon poked their heads out and walked in.

Ah Xi! You didn't knock? You're so rude!

The moment he saw the rabbit teeth, Gong Cheng was speechless. Who on earth could have spread the news that he liked her?
"Why aren't you talking?"

"Hello, I'm Lim Nayeon."

"An Ning Ha Sai Yo, I'm Hirai Momo."

Lin Nayeon and Hirai Momo walked over and greeted Lin Yingxiong who was sitting cross-legged beside them. They were a little confused as to why there was someone else in Gong Cheng's practice room?
"An Ning Haseyo, I'm Lin Yingxiong, nice to meet you."

With Gong Cheng's introduction, the three of them got to know each other.

Lin Yingxiong glanced at the darkening sky, stood up and said hello to everyone: "Then I'll take my leave first."

"I'll see your brother off."

After seeing Lin Yingxiong off, Gong Cheng asked, "When did you come back?"

"We just flew back to Seoul this afternoon. The members are all resting in the dormitory. No, I guess they are all going to the supermarket to buy things at this time?" Lin Nayeon came to Gong Cheng boldly, feeling like she was in charge.

"Then why are you here at the company?"

"I'll treat you to dinner! We've been working non-stop for several days and finally got a break, so we definitely have to have a good time together!" Lin Nayeon smiled proudly, and while Hirai Momo wasn't paying attention, she patted Gong Cheng's butt.

“???” Gong Cheng instantly felt like he was being violated and was about to say something to this ungrateful guy.

Who would have thought that this girl with rabbit teeth would, contrary to her usual behavior, lean close to his ear and say, "Ex-girlfriend, ex-girlfriend..."

"Oppa, the food you cook is delicious!" Momo Hirai said seriously.

Gong Cheng immediately understood why these two people wanted to see him. It turned out they wanted him to be their cook!

As for Lim Nayeon’s threat?

Haha, that’s called a threat?

Whatever! Whatever! It would be great if she could promote it in Twice! And also give that puppy a boost!

Career-oriented, right?
You want me to wait for you?

"Then let's go home."

Gong Cheng thought about it and decided that since he didn't have much to do anyway, it would be nice to go back and eat and drink. Besides, what he was most anxious about now was getting home to take a shower. He had practiced dancing all afternoon and was sweating and feeling very uncomfortable.

"Hey, you haven't answered my question yet? Are you practicing dancing?"

On the way back, Lin Nayeon asked dissatisfiedly. After getting Gong Cheng's answer, Hirai Momo beside him said seriously: "Oppa, if you practice dancing, I can teach you."

It can be considered as a reward for feeding.

Of course Gong Cheng would not refuse, so he nodded and agreed.

He has seen Momo Hirai practicing dancing in Twice's practice room many times, and can only say that she is worthy of being a dancing machine!
On the contrary, the other members of Twice performed a bit poorly.

"Oh, I'm not going to run into anyone in the neighborhood today, am I?"

Lin Nayeon, who was standing by, suddenly said something sinister.

Hearing this, Gong Cheng's face froze! Ah Xi! Is this jealousy or envy?
So, who is spreading the word that they like this rabbit tooth?
She obviously has a crush on me, okay?

……

At 11 o'clock in the evening, the Twice members, who had eaten and drunk their fill, were chatting animatedly at the dining table they had bought together.

Gong Cheng put down his wine glass, feeling a little tired all over, and walked straight to the sofa, wanting to lie down for a while to relax.

Coincidentally, I saw Ming Jingnan sitting in a corner of the sofa with her bare white feet, holding a game console and playing some game.

Gong Cheng glanced at her with a gloomy look and said, "Finally I caught you!"

The first time he saw Ming Jingnan tonight, he pulled her over and questioned her, but this little penguin actually denied it!

Is it because he got drunk after drinking a glass of wine last time? Or is he deliberately denying it?
"ah!"

Ming Jingnan, who was holding the game console, trembled suddenly. She looked up at Gong Cheng in front of her with a red face and exclaimed,

However, her mosquito-like voice was far less than the roaring voices of the drunkards at the table...

"what are you doing?"

Feeling the cold touch on his left foot, Ming Jingnan's fair face trembled slightly, and a pink color quickly spread to his neck.

"What can I do?"

Gong Cheng pinched the feet wrapped in his palm in annoyance. They were white and tender. Perhaps Mina in front of him was too nervous, and a few playful fingers were curled up.

He took out the socks that Ming Jingnan had taken off not long ago from the corner of the sofa, stretched out the sock opening, helped her put them on, and muttered: "Would I be the kind of person who steals socks?"

"Put it on properly! Otherwise you can't accuse me again next time!"

"Ah Xi! Who do you take me, a pure and upright young man, for?"

Ming Jingnan glared at him and stretched her legs, as if trying to break free from his hand. She looked nervously towards the dining table from time to time, fearing that the members would discover something.

"Then why don't you let go?"

The coldness on her hands seemed to have been blocked by the socks, and she blushed and shyly scolded.

"Just let go, it's like no one wants to touch it." Gong Cheng reluctantly let go of his hand, then looked at the phone that was vibrating just now and picked it up.

"Hey, bro. Why are you calling?"

"Yes, I was the one who suggested the idea of ​​a limited edition group. Mainly because I really wanted to work with you."

He stood up, listened to the noisy sounds coming from the restaurant, curled his lips speechlessly, and walked straight to the balcony.

Ming Jingnan, still leaning on the sofa, touched her little feet and glanced at the back of the figure standing on the balcony not far away.

Her mind was full of thoughts, and she recalled what she had heard in the cafe that day.

Does he really like himself?
It seems true!
For a moment, she didn't know how to face Gong Cheng...

……

"Really? Brother, do you want to play? My plan is to form a limited group of four people for six months."

"Yes, we'll only release one album, and we'll have a comeback and stage performance for a while. I'll be in charge of producing the album, so hyung, whatever work arrangements you have can be normal. Just make time, and we can split parts and practice choreography."

Gong Cheng stood in the night and explained some ideas about the limited group to Park Jae-fan.

"Ah Xi, you kid! Okay, okay, PDnim has contacted me and told me all this. For PDnim's sake, I also want to work with you. But in the form of a limited group, I'm a little surprised."

"How about this, we can form a limited edition group, but you have to come and help me with my new album next year."

Park Jae-bum's chuckle came through the microphone: "Okay, let's leave the rest to the company."

"Ok bro! That's settled then!"

After hanging up the phone, Gong Cheng excitedly pumped his fist! Another one!
It’s not that he lost his composure, it’s just that time waits for no one. The members of the group need to be confirmed as soon as possible, and there are still a lot of things to do after producing the album!
He had expected Park Jae-bum to join the team.

Not to mention their personal relationship, just based on what happened between him and Park Jin Young...

Just as Gong Cheng was about to take back his phone, two messages popped up from Jin Dayu.

He opened the message and saw that something had happened with Lu Han...
