Chapter 15 The Arrogant Mina
Chapter 15 The Arrogant Mina
"XXX, 9:00 AM." Mina replied quickly.
I guess she'd been playing on her phone the whole time, just waiting for his reply.
However, judging from the way they chat, they don't seem to have any psychological problems. Instead, they seem like girls who are addicted to the internet and are looking for an excuse to get some fresh air.
But Li Yuan knew that Minami's situation was actually very serious, and most of the subsequent problems were caused by this.
Similar to her are Sana Minatozaki, and Tzuyu, whom we will meet tomorrow.
Wow, thinking about it this way, it turns out that everyone in TWICE has some kind of health problem.
"JYP is really something." Lee Won couldn't help but swear.
A company that always touts "human beauty" has artists under its management who are all plagued by illnesses. Who can stand that?
So, the artists are the ones offering up "human beauty," while the company sits on the sidelines counting the money?
Filled with grumbling and cursing at JYP Entertainment, Li Yuan turned off the lights, buried himself in the soft hotel blankets, closed his eyes, and quickly drifted off to sleep.
……
The next morning, the alarm clock dragged Li Yuan out of his sleep.
It was rare for a girl to take the initiative to ask him out, so Li Yuan set an alarm and got up early to carefully tidy himself up.
I washed my face, took care of my skin, and styled my hair. The skincare products I used were from Korea; they were a gift from someone.
It's said to be very effective for men's skin care. Li Yuan doesn't know if it's true or not, but it feels quite comfortable to use.
A friend bought this set for him with his first paycheck after settling down. Isn't it reasonable to use something so precious now that we usually keep it as a keepsake?
Speaking of which, the song I wrote for their group set a record for the fastest Korean girl group to win first place at the time, and they were so happy that they called me that very night.
They have strong stage presence and are very stable, but Li Yuan doesn't really like chicken coops, so his connection with them isn't that deep.
However, he remembered Kim Jisoo, whom he had scolded until she cried because of her lack of skill, and wondered if her skills had improved.
If things continue as they were in the past, there will likely be no shortage of negative articles in the future.
Lost in thought, Li Yuan had already strolled to the agreed location.
From a distance, he saw Mina and Tzuyu standing in the shade.
Both of them were dressed in light short-sleeved shirts and skirts, each wearing a baseball cap with the brim pulled down slightly, but neither was wearing a mask.
Minami stood in the inner part, her long hair falling smoothly from under the brim of her hat, making her face appear even smaller.
Her features were already exquisite, with a natural coolness in her eyes and brows, but now the corners of her mouth were slightly upturned, making her look much softer.
Chou Tzu-yu leaned against her side, tall and slender with a straight back, her long, straight legs showing under her short skirt.
The two were talking in hushed tones. As Li Yuan approached, he could still hear Mina's soft laughter.
Minami Nai is like that.
Perhaps due to habits cultivated from childhood, she always speaks softly and gently, at a moderate pace, and even when Li Yuan teases her, she blushes and whispers to him.
But when she gets angry, she really does hit you, her little fists pounding your shoulder.
"What are you talking about?"
When Lee Yuan walked over, Chou Tzu-yu had already seen him, but on the surface she continued chatting with Mina as usual, as if she hadn't seen anything.
Minami, with her back to Li Yuan, was completely unaware and was still smiling.
So when Li Yuan spoke, the sudden sound startled Mina, who trembled and shrank back.
"Hey! Li Yuan!" Mina clenched her fist almost reflexively and swung it in his direction.
As if he had expected it, Li Yuan smiled and reached out to firmly grasp the fist that was coming at him.
"Hehe, blocked it, ah~" He was about to make a joke when another fist came from the side and landed solidly on his shoulder.
"Hmm, it's been so long, you've improved quite a bit." Li Yuan grinned, rubbing the spot where he had been punched.
Don't let Mina's gentle and delicate appearance fool you; she's surprisingly strong. Otherwise, how could she be one of TWICE's main dancers?
"Hmph!" Mina raised her chin arrogantly, turned her head away from him, but her ears were visibly red.
In private, Mina is actually a lively and mischievous person at heart.
When you don't know her well, she seems quiet and reserved, but once you get to know her, all her little arrogance comes out.
Especially when someone praises her, she immediately puts on a "Hmph, do you even need to tell me that?" expression, which is kind of cute.
"So where are you planning to go?" Li Yuan and Mina bantered for a while before finally asking the important question.
Yesterday I was so busy agreeing to go out and have fun that I didn't even ask what we were going to do.
"Mina unnie can only laugh so happily when she's with Lee Won oppa," Chou Tzuyu said thoughtfully, watching the two bickering.
"Who's with him!" Mina exclaimed anxiously.
"Yes, yes, yes." Chou Tzu-yu nodded perfunctorily, but her smile widened.
"I didn't laugh!" Mina muttered, looking quite resentful.
"Okay, okay, it's all my fault," Li Yuan casually replied. "I guess this illness was caused by me getting angry."
He was referring to Mina, who sometimes played games with him, and the two often bickered and argued about their game records.
"Anita!" To everyone's surprise, Mina's reaction was unexpectedly intense. She shook her head vigorously, her voice unusually serious, "This has nothing to do with you!"
"Just kidding." Seeing Mina's serious expression, Li Yuan was slightly taken aback, then sighed, "It seems it really is a bit serious."
If it were according to her usual personality, Mina would have already smiled and nodded, saying, "Yes, it's all your fault," and then taken the opportunity to ask for compensation.
But looking at it now, something seems off to anyone.
"Anyway... don't talk nonsense." Mina lowered her eyes and said softly as a final word.
"Okay." Li Yuan nodded. "I apologize for what I said earlier. I'll pay for today's expenses!"
"Of course! We won't hold back!" Chou Tzu-yu put her arm around Mina's shoulder. "Li Yuan oppa must have made a fortune just from royalties."
Every time Lee Won hears Chou Tzu-yu call him that, he feels a sweet, almost cloying sensation.
But it's a matter of habit, what else can we do?
"Well, not much," Li Yuan said modestly. "It's still nothing compared to what you guys have."
"We're a group, you're getting paid as an individual, it's different." Chou Tzu-yu pouted, giving off a "don't pretend" look.
"Then I'll give you mine?" Mina glanced at her sideways.
"Okay, okay!" Chou Tzu-yu nodded her little head excitedly.
"Dream on!" Mina rolled her eyes at her.
"Alright, alright, stop fooling around, let's go." Chou Tzu-yu said, seeing that Mina's mood had improved considerably.
"You haven't said where you're going yet?" Li Yuan followed behind them, looking helpless.
"XXXX Amusement Park," Chou Tzu-yu said, uttering a name.
