Chapter 1421 Let me tell you
"Oppa, what are you guys talking about?"
Sana Minato's voice was sweet and soft, with a hint of deliberate intimacy. As she finished speaking, she gently shook Chi Jingyuan's arm, her movements natural and familiar, as if the two of them often interacted like this.
This sudden closeness startled Chi Jingyuan for a moment. He looked down at the arm that was being held tightly, then looked up at the pretty face beside him.
Her long, wavy hair cascaded loosely over her shoulders, making her face appear small and delicate. Her eyes, with their slightly upturned corners, gazed directly at him with a natural allure. Chi Jingyuan felt his nostrils instantly filled with a refreshing, sweet citrus scent.
Before he could even speak, Kim Jongin across from him exclaimed in surprise, his eyes wide with disbelief: "Sana..."
Kim Jong-in was very familiar with Minatozaki Sana, and even had a very deep impression of her... because he had seriously pursued her before.
At first, I just thought he looked good, but after getting to know him a few times, I was really captivated by him... He's a popular member of Twice, not only is he beautiful, but his personality is also vibrant and attractive.
Unfortunately, after he expressed his desire to date her, Sana Minatozaki immediately backed away, rejecting him bluntly and clearly. After that, he couldn't arrange to meet her anymore. Even when they bumped into each other by chance, her smile remained sweet, but the previous closeness that had brought them closer was gone, replaced by a polite formality and distance.
Afterwards, Kim Jong-in was actually still somewhat resentful. Although he acted nonchalant and disdainful in front of his friends and fellow members, he would still think about this charming but difficult girl from time to time.
But he never expected to see Sana Minatozaki in this kind of situation, let alone that she would do something like this. His gaze was fixed ahead...
At this moment, she was tightly hugging Chi Jingyuan's arm, her head tilted slightly, her eyes glued to him. Even a fool could see that their intimacy was extraordinary.
Kim Jongin's expression froze instantly, as if a pause button had been pressed. His heart was in turmoil, filled with shock, confusion, and a touch of indescribable bitterness.
"Jingyuan, you and Sana..."
He opened his mouth, his gaze fixed on their intertwined arms, his voice trembling slightly: "What are you doing...?"
These are clearly actions and displays of affection that only couples would do.
"whee."
Sana Minato waved to Jongin, her smile still sweet, but she didn't answer his question directly. Instead, she turned her head, blinked her round, bright eyes, and stared intently at Kyungwon, her tone carrying a hint of coquettishness:
"Oppa, you still haven't told me what you were talking about just now?"
Although it wasn't explicitly stated, the actions and expressions said it all.
"..."
Sana Minatozaki's sudden appearance surprised Chi Jingyuan, and her unconventional intimate behavior was beyond his expectations.
But intelligent people always have a tacit understanding. He and Sana Minatozaki exchanged a glance, and he understood her intention from her bright eyes.
Feeling a warmth in his heart, Chi Jingyuan suppressed the smile in his eyes and went along with her words, saying, "Jennie and Jongin just invited us to go see a movie together when we have some free time. Do you want to go?"
"A movie?"
Sana Minatozaki nodded gently, then, as if remembering something, looked at Jennie Kim with sparkling eyes and said in an exceptionally sweet tone, "Unnie, is it the recently popular 'Along with the Gods'? I just heard the members talking about it, and they said it's really good."
When Chi Kyung-won heard this, he almost lost his composure... He clearly remembered that both Minatozaki Sana and Kim Jennie were born in 1996.
Unless Jennie Kim was born in an early month... but it's rare that Sana Minatozaki knows this.
When Jennie heard "unnie," she felt a pang of discomfort, as if she had swallowed a fly.
Others might not be able to tell, but she's used to criticizing others, so how could she not hear the hidden, seemingly both cunning and manipulative, flavor in Minatozaki Sana's words?
She looked up at Sana Minatozaki in front of her. Although it was just a rehearsal, everyone was wearing makeup. Twice, because they had other schedules to attend, had their makeup done even more meticulously. Their eye makeup was gentle, and their lips were pink, which made their skin look fair and radiant, exuding a lot of energy.
Jennie Kim has always been extremely confident in her appearance, believing that she can easily outshine her opponent in both looks and temperament.
Moreover, she was wearing a high-end Chanel outfit, while Sana Minatozaki was wearing ordinary casual clothes, and it was impossible to tell what brand they were from after looking at them for a long time.
She's prettier, has better temperament, and a better background!
But then, she saw Sana Minato clinging to Chi Jingyuan's arm, saw the sweet intimacy and casualness in her gaze towards him, the charm in her eyes, the beauty of her long, wavy hair...
Jennie suddenly felt as if she had been outmaneuvered and lost inexplicably.
The smile on his face was almost impossible to maintain, and he cursed inwardly:
And what a jerk she is...
Kim Jong-in's feelings at this moment were extremely complicated.
He had been pursuing a girl for a long time without any success, and in the end, he had no choice but to give up.
But at this moment, he was holding his teammate's arm, looking very close.
He knew he had no right to criticize anything...
But I felt a pang of sadness and a tightness in my chest, along with an inexplicable jealousy. It was awful.
Especially since... he's currently dating Jennie Kim, who's also a top member of a girl group, cute, and has a great figure. He was quite satisfied with her at first.
But looking at Minatozaki Sana in front of her now, with her long curly hair draped over her shoulders, her makeup exquisite yet understated, her face small and pretty, and the way she hugged Chi Jingyuan's arm, she looked charming and affectionate.
Although I felt a little guilty towards my mother, I suddenly had a feeling... that Jennie next to me didn't smell so good anymore.
"But Oppa, you can't go see it."
Just as Kim Jongin was lost in thought, Minatozaki Sana suddenly turned her head, wrinkled her nose slightly, and looked at Ji Kyungwon with a slightly reproachful tone: "Didn't we agree before that we would go out and play together when we had time? You just said that yesterday."
Her eyes widened slightly, and her pupils appeared exceptionally clear in the dim light of the private room, like a pool of shimmering honey.
But there was no real anger in his eyes; instead, there was a thin, cunning glint in them, and the corners of his eyes drooped with just the right amount of grievance.
It was as if it were saying, 'You actually forgot?'
"..."
Her gaze was so sincere that Chi Jingyuan subconsciously paused for a second to reflect on whether he had really promised her.
Then, realizing what had happened, the corner of his mouth twitched involuntarily.
Women are indeed born performers.
Sana Minatozaki is even worse.
"Yes."
Chi Jingyuan cooperated by feigning sudden realization, his tone tinged with apology, "I almost forgot."
"Mian ah ne, Jennie unnie, Kai oppa."
Sana Minatozaki immediately turned to the two of them, bowed slightly, and said with just the right amount of apology, "Oppa probably can't go with you. We made plans a long time ago."
"Never mind, it's fine..." Jennie forced a smile, her voice sounding stiff.
"Yes, yes, maybe next time."
Kim Jongin quickly waved his hand and spoke up, his tone tinged with urgency.
Jennie didn't want to say anything because Jongin didn't know he had pursued Ji Kyungwon and even tried to woo him several times... Since his advances failed, she wanted to leave as soon as possible.
Kim Jong-in didn't want to say much, because Kim Jennie didn't know that he had previously pursued Minatozaki Sana.
"Then have fun."
Sana Minatozaki raised her head, her eyelids drooping slightly before she blinked rapidly, her eyes naturally turning upwards with a perfectly measured hint of envy. Then she tightened her grip on Ji Jingyuan's arm again, saying in a light, airy tone:
"I'm so envious of Oppa and Unnie... Of course, you should go to the movies with someone you like."
These words were like a fine needle, piercing precisely into the hearts of Jennie and Jongin.
"Hehe, yeah." Jennie chuckled dryly, her perfunctory tone practically overflowing.
"Then we'll be going now." Jennie grabbed Jongin's arm and practically fled.
The two left quickly, and Ji Kyung-won and Minatozaki Sana also turned and walked in the opposite direction. After rounding a corner, they could vaguely hear Kim Jong-in's slightly helpless voice behind them: "So what if he's not going? What's there to be angry about..."
Sana Minatozaki held onto Jingyuan Chi's arm and walked another ten meters or so. Only when they could no longer hear any noise behind them did the two of them stop in tacit agreement.
Sana Minato released her hand and took a half-step back, maintaining a polite distance from Keigen. They exchanged a glance and couldn't help but laugh, the tense atmosphere instantly dissipating.
"Ha ha ha ha……"
Why are you suddenly so aggressive?
Looking at Sana Minatozaki's bright face and exquisite makeup and hair, Chi Jingyuan smiled and said, "It's rare to see Sana like this."
"I don't know either."
Sana Minatozaki suppressed a laugh, her shoulders shrugged slightly, but her eyes shone brightly, like a child who had just finished a prank, her pupils sparkling with a triumphant and mischievous light.
She tilted her head, letting her curly hair fall over her shoulder: "I just heard what that Jennie unnie said and came over without thinking much about it."
She looked up at Chi Jingyuan, her eyes narrowing slightly, the corners of her eyes lifting like little hooks. Her gaze, hidden behind her long eyelashes, darted around with an all-knowing shrewdness, as she asked, "Then... what does Oppa think it is because of?"
Upon hearing this question, Chi Jingyuan couldn't help but look at her.
Their eyes met. Sana Minatozaki's expression changed.
The cunning from before receded like the tide, replaced by a deep, focused concentration.
Her gaze gently fell on his eyes, then slowly, almost inch by inch, traced his features, and finally met his eyes again, her gaze filled with a soft yet burning desire that was hard to express.
The air seemed to thicken at that moment.
Just as Chi Jingyuan was drawn into some kind of alluring reverie by that gaze...
"Hahaha~"
She suddenly burst out laughing, shattering the atmosphere that had been building up.
Sana Minatozaki laughed heartily and patted Ji Kyung-won on the back forcefully: "Of course it's because I'm close to Oppa! Oppa has helped me so many times, so of course I want to help Oppa in return!"
"..."
Chi Jingyuan paused slightly, then smiled and said, "Yes, it really helped. Thank you."
He couldn't help but think to himself that Sana Minatozaki was definitely trying to 'fish' for him, and this wasn't the first time.
This woman is good at this; sometimes it's passive, sometimes it's intentional.
However, for some reason, it didn't make people feel disgusted. The occasional increase in heart rate made people feel slightly excited, and the faces and smiles in their eyes seemed to become more beautiful.
"hey-hey."
Sana Minato smiled, her already round eyes squeezing into two sweet, curved slits, as if she was enjoying the feeling of helping him.
"Oppa, when are we going out to play together?"
The warm atmosphere lasted for a few seconds, then Minatozaki Sana suddenly seemed to remember something, her eyes lit up, and she looked at Chi Jingyuan and said.
"what?"
Chi Jingyuan was stunned for a moment, not quite understanding.
"Didn't we agree before that we'd go out and have fun together when we had time? You just said that yesterday."
Sana Minatozaki looked at him with a smile, blinked twice, her expression innocent and frank, as if stating an undeniable fact.
"Uh……"
Chi Jingyuan was momentarily speechless.
He thought that Sana Minatozaki had just said a few words casually to put down Jennie Kim's arrogance... It turns out that what this woman said just now was not a spur-of-the-moment thing, but something she had planned in advance to use at this moment.
He suddenly felt like he had fallen into some kind of trap, including Jennie and Jongin, who were both actors.
"Don't be like that, Oppa. Your hesitation makes it seem like I'm trying to take advantage of you after helping you."
Seeing Chi Jingyuan's speechless expression, Sana pouted in dissatisfaction, her red lips pouting, but her eyes were clear and bright, carrying just the right amount of grievance of being misunderstood: "Oppa said before that you're not that kind of person, and so am I. Sana isn't that kind of person!"
"You are."
Chi Jingyuan gave her a deadpan look and mercilessly exposed her.
"……Um."
She first puffed out her cheeks, glared at him with a serious and dissatisfied look, and tried to put pressure on him with her eyes.
But the smile in those round eyes couldn't be hidden at all, and she completely broke down in less than a second.
"Pfft hee hee hee..."
A few cute little horizontal lines appeared on the bridge of her nose, like ripples squeezed out by a smile. Her plump apple cheeks bulged high, like two warm glutinous rice balls baked by the sun, pushing her eyes upward and squeezing out even more curved lines.
She laughed heartily without any attempt to hide it, her voice clear and bright. Her squinted face, which had been alluring and cunning just moments before, now exuded an endearing and adorable charm.
It leaves behind only a kind of innocent, warm, and naive charm, like a Shiba Inu wagging its tail happily after its scheme has succeeded.
Even if she were to let out a scream the next second, Chi Jingyuan wouldn't be surprised.
"Where to go?" Chi Jingyuan smiled, resisting the urge to reach out and grab something.
"Let me think!"
"You're not saying you want to go for a drive, are you?"
"Hmm... I'll think about it."
"Still pretending?"
"...Oh, Oppa, I told you I'd think about it."
"Then I'll go first."
"It's a deal then~"
…………
"boom……"
Meanwhile, after returning to Blackpink's dressing room, Jennie couldn't hold back any longer and grabbed a water glass from the table, throwing it away.
With a muffled thud, the water glass fell to the ground, spilling water everywhere, and the glass shattered into several pieces.
The other members and assistants in the lounge were startled and looked over. In particular, several BP members exchanged glances after a brief moment of shock.
...This little princess is probably throwing a tantrum again for some unknown reason.
They were already used to Jennie's capriciousness, but no one wanted to deliberately provoke her.
"What's wrong, unnie?"
In the end, Li Xia took the initiative to go over, squatted down to help clean up the broken pieces on the ground, and asked cautiously, "Did Kai oppa say something?"
They all knew that Jennie had gone out to meet Jongin, and the fact that she was so angry when she came back meant that there was probably a problem in their relationship.
"..."
For some reason, when Jennie heard the word "unnie," a strange anger welled up inside her, just like when she heard Sana Minatozaki call her "unnie" earlier—she felt incredibly irritated.
"no……"
She waved her hand angrily, her tone impatient, and she was too lazy to explain.
What is she trying to explain? Is she trying to show off her relationship with Kim Jong-in to Ji Kyung-won, only to be outmaneuvered by Minatozaki Sana and left speechless?
How do you explain that she got humiliated by a slutty Japanese girl?
Thinking of Sana Minato's incredibly sassy demeanor just now, and the feeling of being "outdone" that she didn't want to admit, Jennie Kim grew increasingly angry, her chest feeling tight and suffocated.
Furthermore, when did Chi Kyung-won and Minatozaki Sana start dating?
After calming down, Jennie became increasingly surprised.
She remembered hearing before that Ji Kyung-won was dating or flirting with other members of Twice, she thought it was Mina or Tzuyu.
Many rumors have also been circulating outside.
Anyway, it must be someone from Twice, and it's definitely not Sana Minatozaki.
How did it become Sana Minatozaki? When did this start?
And...do other people know?
Jennie's eyes darted around, and a thought suddenly popped into her head. She immediately took out her phone, her fingers flying across the screen to find Nayeon's number, and typed a message before sending it.
…………
"..."
On the other side, Sana Minatozaki returned to the entrance of Twice's dressing room with a big smile on her face. She stopped, took a deep breath, and adjusted her expression and mindset.
Pushing open the door, the lounge was quite lively. Some people were playing on their phones, some were taking a nap, and a few were huddled together, acting crazy. You could tell from their voices that Lim Nayeon was leading the charge.
"Unnie, come back..." Kim Da-hyun saw Minatozaki Sana and waved to greet her.
"Pfft haha~"
But before Kim Da-hyun could finish speaking, she was interrupted by a sudden burst of laughter from Minatozaki Sana.
"what happened?"
The people nearby immediately became interested. Lim Nayeon and Hirai Momo were the first to sidle up to her, asking with curiosity and gossip, "Why are you laughing so happily? Didn't you go to the restroom?"
Sana Minatozaki chuckled twice more, straightened up, her eyes instantly curving into two perfect crescent moons. She fanned herself with her hand, her tone tinged with excitement:
"Unnie, let me tell you, when I just got back..."
