Boy group: In order to survive, I have to open business

We have only been together for half a year and we are already talking about the aftermath of the breakup. Is this too heavy? But although it is heavy, it is something we must face.

Xia Xinglang always thought about how to deepen his relationship with Che Zaixun. He tried all the previous methods, such as acting coquettishly and asking for hugs, exchanging clothes, simulating fans confessing their love to each other, and even lost his first kiss, even though Zaixun himself claimed that it was mouth-to-mouth breathing for safety reasons, but they did touch.

Where is Brother Xun? When was your first kiss?

While selecting a cake online, Xia Xinglang mentioned unintentionally: "Brother Zaixun, when was your first kiss?"

"I haven't yet." Che Zaixun was discussing the custom ice cream cake with the store owner. "Why are you asking this?"

"That means with me."

"..."

Che Zaixun: “Is this important?”

Xia Xinglang: "Brother Zaixun, you have to be responsible for me."

"Responsible for what?"

"Anyway, you have to take responsibility," Xia Xinglang pulled his arm and shook it vigorously, causing Che Zaixun to shake as well. "Brother Zaixun, let's deepen our relationship."

"How to deepen it?"

"You'll have to ask my brother."

Che Zaixun stared at the tablet in a daze: "I understand, this is what Xiaolang said before, that we should deepen our relationship with everyone. Let me think about it."

Xia Xinglang also understood that feelings don't deepen suddenly. After all, not everyone is like Xiao Yu.

"Why do you want to deepen your relationship with a single person?" Cha Jae-hun found a suspicious point. "Generally speaking, it is to deepen the group's feelings. Generally, companies require group members to organize activities and ice-breaking games, but it seems that there is no need for ice-breaking games so far. Everyone has a good relationship."

"Because I've neglected Brother Zaixun recently," Xia Xinglang said casually, "I feel bad about it."

"Well, with these words, our feelings are deep enough."

"..."

On June 6, Hong Zhanglin’s birthday, everyone prepared in advance to give him a surprise.

Xia Xinglang also paid attention to the members' birthdays. July was Yoon Donghao's birthday, Kim Seunghyuk's was August, Hwasanwon Youngji's was September, Xiao Yu and Che Jaehoon's were October, and Xia Xinglang's own was December. In fact, everyone's birthdays were concentrated in the second half of the year. Unfortunately, JP7 was formed in November, and at that time only Xia Xinglang could celebrate his birthday.

As soon as he entered the dormitory, he was welcomed with a salute. Hong Zhanglin should have known that they were preparing for it. His surprise was probably fake, because he had to cooperate and react, so it was somewhat of a performance.

In the dormitory, they set up their phones and broadcast live on Bubble. Everyone sang the birthday song in unison. Che Zaixun put a paper ring crown on Zhang Lin: "Brother, happy birthday!"

Fans’ comments were all happy birthday emoji expressions with fireworks.

Hong Zhanglin couldn't help laughing: "Actually, I knew it when I got on the elevator just now. Thank you everyone, but pretending to be surprised really tests my acting skills."

Then it was time to cut the cake. The ice cream had already started to melt, so Hong Zhanglin saved the smallest piece for himself: "Because I can't eat something too cold."

Che Zaixun: "Give it to me."

"No," Hong Zhanglin ate the food in small sips with a spoon, "Eat your own."

Hong Jang-lin looked at the fans' comments and said, "Cupid asked us what activities we will have next."

Cha Jae Hoon: “We’re going to have a book signing soon.”

Fans immediately asked where the event would be held and how many shows there would be. Everyone was very enthusiastic, after all, there had not been a fan meeting event for half a year.

Che Zaixun wanted to reveal more, but Xia Xinglang pulled him aside and whispered, "Keep it a secret."

Because the protagonist is Hong Jang Lin, everyone basically interacted around Jang Lin. In order to liven up the atmosphere, Kim Seung-hyuk suggested that everyone tell each other their first impression and current impression of the members.

Starting with Xia Xinglang, the members' initial impression of Xiaolang was basically that of a cute little brother, but now things have gradually changed.

The roommate group spoke first.

Yingzhi: "Xiaolang attaches great importance to efficiency, because Xiaolang always watches group shows at double speed, and I can't even hear the speed clearly when I'm next to him."

Che Zaixun also said: "I originally thought that Xiaolang would stay in bed, but he turned out to be the first one to wake up among us."

A family of three spoke.

Yin Donghao: "Xiaolang has very strict requirements for songs. He chose the title song for the second mini album. The music producer was convinced because he said the song he picked was not good enough."

Kim Seung Hyuk: "Actually, Siaolang participated in the lyrics writing, and the lyrics he wrote were very good, I was quite surprised."

Finally, it was the turn of the brothers group to speak.

Xiao Yu stared at him: "Little Wolf is sometimes arrogant and likes to challenge me, but that's also cute. Recently, he has become unwilling to get close to his brother. I hope he can change back."

Hong Zhanglin tilted his head in thought, and the paper birthday crown almost fell off: "Xiaolang is actually very considerate of others. For example, when he fell on the school celebration stage in the rain, he was the first to ask everyone backstage if they were hurt."

Almost all the words were praising him, and this atmosphere continued to the next person, until today's protagonist, Zhang Lin.

Xia Xinglang said: "Brother Zhang Lin, you are actually very concerned about your height, but I don't think it's necessary because you are the lead singer and the soul of the team."

Hong Zhanglin: “…”

Jin Chenghe spoke well of his roommate: "Zhang Lin can actually compose music, and his own music is pretty good."

Xiao Yu: "Brother Zhang Lin, I caught you before. The lead singer can't eat spicy food, but you were secretly eating spicy fried rice noodles."

Yin Donghao: "There is also spicy hot pot."

Hong Zhanglin: “…………I was wrong.”

Yingzhi: "Zhang Lin can't eat spicy food? I thought he could eat a lot. He used to eat raw Qingyang peppers, which was amazing."

Che Zaixun was the last one to speak, but he couldn't think of an answer. After a while, he said, "I don't think Brother Zhang Lin has changed much. He still loves the stage."

In the middle of this birthday live broadcast, Che Zaixun and Zhang Lin went out for a while and brought back other takeaways. After they came back, the atmosphere between the two became strange. Xia Xinglang couldn't tell what was strange, but it felt like Xiao Yu and himself had a quarrel some time ago. But then the two sat apart, and Che Zaixun sat next to Xia Xinglang and didn't look at Zhang Lin.

Zhang Lin was also avoiding Che Zai Xun. The live broadcast ended in this awkward atmosphere and everyone waved to the camera.

"Bye-Bye!"

"Bye, happy birthday."

"See you next time, Cupids."

After that, there was a relatively awkward period. Zhang Lin and Che Zaixun deliberately avoided each other and there was absolutely no interaction at the subsequent autograph session.

The staff asked them to interact with each other, and Hong Zhanglin stood next to Che Zaixun, but Zhanglin chose to make a heart shape with Yin Donghao next to him. Che Zaixun stood there awkwardly, staring at the fans in the audience. Seeing that he was at a loss, Xia Xinglang walked over to help him out: "Brother Zaixun, let's do a heart shape."

Che Zaixun smiled at him: "Thank you, little wolf."

Xia Xinglang really wanted to ask what happened between them, a breakdown in their relationship, or maybe they were just experiencing burnout, but the words just couldn't come out of his mouth.
