Chapter 154: A Prank Called "Selfishness"

Bae Joo-hyun's departure did not bring much change to the atmosphere in the room.

Those who are drinking are still drinking, and those who are gossiping are still going on.

Jiang Zhaohuan silently helped to grill the meat. As for the glass of soju that he drank by mistake, he didn't intend to touch it again.

He knew his alcohol tolerance very well. If he drank a whole glass, he would definitely feel dizzy when walking.

Liu Xingya, who was sitting diagonally opposite, had a good alcohol tolerance and drank soju and beer in succession without changing her expression.

She made herself another glass of Cannonball Wine, and just as she was about to drink it, she noticed that Bae Joo-hyun had been away from the table for a long time.

Although the PD has reserved the theater, it is still a cause for concern if the tipsy female idol stays out for too long.

Liu Xingya didn't intend to give up the good opportunity to drink and eat meat, so she looked at Zhao Huan and suggested:
"Do Hwan, why don't you go outside and look for Irene? I'll grill the meat."

Jiang Zhaohuan paused in grilling the meat, he looked down at the time on his watch, and found that Bae Joo-hyun had been out for almost ten minutes.

He didn't even notice the worry on his face. He put down the barbecue clips, picked up his coat, and left.

Liu Xingya looked at Zhao Huan's back as he left the table, picked up the wine glass and took a sip.

The corners of her mouth hidden behind the wine glass slowly rose. She thought that she could go to a certain website to continue serializing the fan fiction she wrote when she got home tonight.

If this scene is slightly exaggerated, it should be able to write a very good plot.
-
Seoul in early May already has a hint of summer.

But now it has been three hours since the sun set and the weather is still relatively cool.

After walking out of the box, Bae Joo-hyun asked the waiter and went to the space on the second floor.

As there were not many people attending the anniversary dinner, the second floor was not open for business and the store owner did not even turn on the lights in order to save electricity.

Bae Joo-hyun walked carefully up the stairs into the dim environment, turned left and went to the bathroom.

Her steps were already a little unsteady and her head was a little dizzy.

Since it is her comeback period, Bae Joo-hyun has not tried drinking, so her alcohol tolerance has declined a lot.

Plus, I didn’t have lunch and had been fasting for more than ten hours... well, I was being a little too stubborn.

Bae Joo-hyun reached out and turned on the faucet, scooping up a handful of cold water to sober herself up.

But for some reason, the fatigue brought by the busy schedule occupied her brain and eroded her consciousness.

She supported herself on the table with both hands and shook her head. In the end, she did not choose to go downstairs and walked towards the balcony.

There is a balcony next to the toilet on the second floor of the pork chop shop, and the balcony does not face the main road, but a small alley.

There was only a dim street lamp in the alley, and the light was very weak.

Bae Joo-hyun squinted her eyes and could clearly see the small insects flying around the street lights.

She stared at the flying insect in a daze, and always felt that she was like a moth.

Even though you are standing in a place full of light, you will be affected by one beam of light.

Perhaps it was because the evening breeze still had a hint of coolness, and her drunkenness dissipated a lot.

Thinking about what happened in the box just now.

Bae Joo-hyun couldn't help but raise her hands to cover her cheeks, and hung on the railing in annoyance.

What is the word "accomplice"? What on earth are you talking about?

Wake up.

After her debut, there is no Bae Joo-hyun anymore, there is just Irene.

Da da da.

There were footsteps behind me.

Bae Joo-hyun should have turned around quickly, but she did not act because of the hesitation caused by alcohol.

Standing at the stairs, Jiang Zhaohuan looked towards the bathroom and noticed an unknown object hanging on the railing of the balcony outside.

Pink shirt, isn't this Irene's outfit?

I don’t know if it was the sip of alcohol that was causing the problem, or if his imagination was really a little too big.

Jiang Zhaohuan's first reaction was that she couldn't get over it.

After all, many Peninsula artists suffer from depression, so it is possible that they suddenly have thoughts of suicide.

Jiang Zhaohuan ran forward in panic and grabbed Bae Zhuxuan's elbow.

Such a sudden action scared someone who was hanging on the railing in a daze.

Pei Zhuxuan's body trembled violently, and when she was about to resist, she was met with a pair of eyes full of worry.

The light-colored pupils became much deeper in the dim light.

Jiang Zhaohuan frowned tightly, he really didn't know how to start.

Although he is a medical student, he is far from being able to provide psychological treatment.

“Irene xi…” “Ne?”

Bae Joo-hyun was a little confused and wanted to remind the other person of the hand that was holding her elbow.

But seeing him frowning, I always felt that the direction of things was a little strange.

Especially what Jiang Zhaohuan said later, she was a little confused.

"Once something is done, there is no going back. Irene xi, if you really have this idea, I think it is necessary to discuss it with the company and accept it..."

Bae Joo-hyun, who was originally confused, couldn't help but want to laugh when she heard the second half of the sentence.

But the fact is - she actually laughed, and she laughed her signature laugh.

"Hahahaha~"

Jiang Zhaohuan was a little confused. Was what he said so funny?

Just when he was about to ask, Pei Zhuxuan restrained her smile, shook her head and explained:
"Ani, I don't have that kind of thought. I'm just sitting here in the night breeze and daydreaming."

"what?"

Jiang Zhaohuan widened his eyes in disbelief, he could feel the temperature on his cheeks rising.

The hand that was pulling the other person's elbow also dropped at this moment.

Damn, this is so embarrassing!
How could I think she wanted that?

Jiang Zhaohuan lowered his head and stared at his toes, thinking to himself: I might as well find a crack to crawl into.

Bae Joo-hyun raised her eyes to look at Do-hwan who was in embarrassment in front of her, and a faint smile appeared in her eyes.

She knew that the person in front of her was concerned about her, and the slightly inappropriate physical contact was out of anxiety and kindness.

Well, let her be willful and out of line occasionally.

With his head lowered, Jiang Zhaohuan was thinking about how to ease the awkward atmosphere.

But just when he wanted to look up, there was suddenly an extra weight on his head.

Jiang Zhaohuan didn't expect that Bae Zhuxuan would pat his head as if to comfort him.

This intimate gesture made him forget the words he had finally thought of.

What should I do, what should I say, what should I...

The Adam's apple rolls up and down.

The weird dry feeling came back.

Bae Joo-hyun narrowed her eyes, and her eyebrows and eyes looked a little blurry under the dim street lights.

She withdrew her little hand and did not stay here for long, choosing to pass by.

Moths should not fly into flames.

But it longs for light.

Bae Joo-hyun took advantage of a slight drunkenness to complete a prank called "Selfishness".

Although she didn't know what the ending would be.

But at least she knew very well that if she did nothing, she might never have the courage to put out the fire again.

"If you don't go back, Unnie and the others will be worried."

After saying this, she hurried downstairs.

Jiang Zhaohuan, who was left alone there, came to his senses after hearing the sound.

He put his hand on his hair and could still vaguely smell the scent of alcohol mixed with perfume.

Jiang Zhaohuan took off his denim jacket and walked down the stairs.

As he stepped into the box, his eyes drifted towards Bae Joo-hyun, who was chatting with Yoo Xing-ya and the others with a vague look in her eyes.

She must have been pretty drunk to do that.

"Diaohuan, could you please get us some Coca-Cola?"

Hearing Liu Xingya's instructions, Jiang Zhaohuan stopped squatting and nodded in response:

"Hey, are two cans enough?"

"enough."

Jiang Zhaohuan stood up and walked out of the box and asked the waiter for two cans of Coke.

He walked back with the Coke without mentioning what happened on the balcony.

Let's keep this matter as a secret.
