Chapter 16 The first trending search in my life is social death

November 04, 21:21 pm.

An apartment building in Geumho-dong, Seongdong-gu, Seoul.

Red Velvet finished their trip early today and returned to the dormitory to rest.

Since there was only one bathroom, the five of them started playing rock-paper-scissors as usual to decide the order in which they would take a bath tonight.

The youngest member, Kim Ye-rin, who successfully won the championship, walked into the bathroom with a brisk step, shaking her baseball jacket and making faces.

Kang Seul-ki, who was ranked last again, slumped on the sofa. Park Soo-young, who was keen on watching Korean dramas, turned on the TV the moment she entered the living room.

She tuned into KBS TV station and prepared to watch "Remember You" which premiered yesterday.

After returning to her room and changing into home clothes, Sun Chengwan joined the crowd watching Korean dramas to kill time. She also took some sugar-free yogurt from the refrigerator.

With a physique like hers that is prone to gaining weight, she can only eat this to satisfy her cravings during her recovery period.

"Ok?"

Sun Seung-wan scooped a large spoonful of sugar-free yogurt into his mouth and casually glanced at the Korean drama that was being played. He happened to catch a glimpse of the back of a head that looked a little familiar.

She narrowed her eyes and prepared to take a closer look, but she didn't know that the moment the man showed his profile, he matched the face in her memory.

"Ah! Him! He he he he he!"

As the team leader, Bae Joo-hyun was arranging her sisters' shoes in a mess in the entrance hall. When she heard Son Seung-wan's scream from the living room, she was easily frightened and her shoes fell to the ground with a trembling hand.

She bent down to put things in order, and when she came to the living room, she saw Son Seung-wan patting Kang Seul-ki excitedly, signaling her to watch the Korean drama playing on TV.

Bae Joo-hyun also looked in the direction Son Seung-wan pointed, and happened to see the man's stern face holding a paintbrush.

Even though the camera was pulled far away, the feeling of oppression was exactly the same as what I had experienced.

Bae Joo-hyun naturally remembered this face that was so cold that it could break ice chips. It was the boy who was suspected to be a sasaeng fan.

Afterwards, she confirmed with her agent Oppa and learned that the other party was not on the list of sasaeng fans, so she didn't care about the matter anymore.

So how did this guy appear on TV? Is he an actor?
Seeing that Jiang Seok-gi missed this shot, Sun Seung-wan looked at his captain and said loudly:
“Irene unnie! It’s him, right?!”

"Yes, it is indeed him."

"What? What are you talking about? Tell me."

Park Soo-young, sitting on the sofa, was completely confused. After all, she was not there that day and didn't know that such an interesting thing had happened.

Son Seung-wan briefly outlined what happened in the fried chicken shop, and the gossipy Park Soo-young quickly took out her phone to search for keywords, and clicked on any unfamiliar names she found in the cast list.

After clicking on Jiang Zhaohuan's personal information, she found that the information was very scarce. Apart from his name and promotional photos of the TV series, there was no other information.

I don't even know his age...so is he a new actor from a small company?
Park Soo-young waved his cell phone and said:

"I found him. His name is Jiang Zhaohuan. There is no other information. I guess the company hasn't had time to promote him yet."

"Mo? What did you say his name was?"

"Kang Do Hwan, is there any problem?"

This is a big problem. Isn’t his name Gao Zixiang?

Bae Joo-hyun frowned slightly as she recalled that there was another boy in the fried chicken shop that day.

So the person who really wanted the autograph was not Jiang Zhaohuan, but Gao Zixiang, who was sitting with his back to them and whose face they could not see.

It turns out that he was forced by his friends to come here to ask for an autograph, so his expression was so grim?

This seems to be a more reasonable reasoning. It seems that I have misunderstood him.

Jiang Seul-ki, who was a little slow to react, finally figured out what her teammates were talking about. She raised her hands and shook them, then said cheerfully:

"Isn't this good? This proves that he's not a sasaeng fan~ I didn't expect he's an actor. I think this drama is worth following!"

"Ah! Jiang Seulgi, stop looking at handsome guys. We just debuted!"

"Ah! Sun Seungwan, what nonsense are you talking about? I told you I'm just watching the drama and I don't have any other thoughts!" Bae Joo-hyun looked helplessly at 94Line who were fighting again. She was about to go back to her room to prepare towels for washing, but before she took two steps, her arm was grabbed by Park Soo-young.

"Joy, what's wrong?"

"Unnie, look!"

Bae Joo-hyun's eyes fell on the mobile phone handed to her by Park Soo-young, and a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes when she saw the latest hot search content of Naver.

She quickly glanced at the news photos and turned away.

When leaving, he did not forget to remind Park Soo-young that she is still a minor and should avoid looking at such photos.

Bae Joo-hyun returned to her bedroom and took out a bath towel. Thinking of the appearance of someone in the news photo, she shook her head helplessly.

I really didn't expect him to be such a person.

Pretty hardworking.

"Jiang Zhaohuan! I never thought you were such a person!"

Jiang Zhaohuan had just finished taking a shower and returned to the dormitory after finishing the filming when he heard Gao Zixiang's voice coming from outside.

While wiping his wet hair, he frowned and asked:

"Gao Zixiang, are you sick again?"

"You are the one who is sick, right? If the ratings exceed 6%, you will take off your clothes. If it exceeds 10%, are you going to run naked?"

Jiang Zhaohuan hesitated for a moment and asked back:
"How did you know I took off my clothes yesterday?"

"Go to Naver and see for yourself. It's already in the top ten trending searches, and the number of views keeps increasing. There are also many comments about your figure. Oh, you should see for yourself! Tsk tsk tsk, I never thought you were such a person!"

Jiang Zhaohuan quickly wiped his hands, picked up the mobile phone on the table and opened Naver to check.

When he saw the title of the hot news, his eyes suddenly went dark.

[Kang Do-hwan, who plays the third male lead Jung Sun-ho in "Remember You", suddenly exposed his clothes himself! Is this the happiness brought by the 6% first broadcast rate? ! ]

What does it mean to suddenly have your clothes exposed by your own hands, and what does it mean to be happy when a 6% first broadcast rate is released!
Jiang Zhaohuan clenched his teeth. He never thought that the first trending search in his life would be like this.

He didn't even have the courage to read the comments below. He just glanced at it and saw a comment that read "Kang Do Hwanxi, I will contribute to the ratings, please be sure to take off your clothes for me."

He noticed the increasing number of missed calls and red dots on KakaoTalk, and felt like life was meaningless.

When I thought of a certain culprit, I couldn't help but accuse him even though he was a senior.

[Seo In Guk]: Ahem, Dohwan? Are you okay?

[Kang Do-hwan]: What do you think? Ren Guo, Senior?

[Seo In Guk]: Don’t worry, I will help you explain it right away!

Jiang Zhaohuan felt that it was useless to explain. He could imagine what questions the host would ask him when he appeared on variety shows in the future, and they would all be related to this trending search.

For example, ask yourself if you like to take off your clothes when you get excited.

He perked up and read the messages sent by the director, Zhong Shengge and others.

After replying to all the messages, I found another new message. When I saw the note, I was a little surprised.

It was actually sent by my father?

Jiang Zhaohuan clicked on the message in confusion. After seeing the content, his eyes rolled back and his feet kicked up. He wanted to wander directly on the moon.

[Song Si Hyuk]: Reserved.

These two short words successfully dealt the final blow to Jiang Zhaohuan.

Ah Xi, I'm going crazy!

I'm really not that kind of person!
