Chapter 175 Can you give me your contact information?
Friday, January 06th.
KBS TV station released a notice yesterday that two MCs of "Music Bank" will be leaving the show.
This also made the fans of both of them decide to come to the scene to watch their last show as MCs.
Jiang Zhaohuan went to the beauty salon early to get his hair done and felt a little nervous.
He wasn't worried about making mistakes on stage.
I'm just a little nervous waiting for what I'm going to say.
Therefore, the gazes towards the door of the waiting room became much more frequent.
Click.
After hearing the sound of the door handle being turned.
Jiang Zhaohuan's ears twitched.
He quickly crossed his legs and pretended to be reading a script.
But his big eyes kept glancing towards the door uncontrollably.
But soon, two people who were obviously not Bae Joo-hyun appeared in Jiang Zhaohuan's field of vision.
"Hey~ Dohwan! Long time no see!"
The people who came were none other than Baekhyun and Sehun from EXO, who were members of the same company as Bae Joo-hyun.
Today is the special episode of Music Bank’s 2016 first half year settlement.
So EXO, who made a comeback in the first half of the year, will naturally come to participate.
Jiang Zhaohuan's eyes were filled with visible disappointment. He said helplessly:
"Brother, why are you here?"
"Ah! Why do you look like that when you see us?"
Byun Baekhyun has always had a loud voice. He put his hands on his waist and pretended to be dissatisfied.
Wu Se-hun had a look of disgust on his face, and he said speechlessly:
“Baekhyun, if there’s no camera here, you can stop operating.”
"Ashi, what are you talking about?"
Jiang Zhaohuan knew what kind of character Baekhyun was, so he surrendered:
"Yes, I was wrong. Thank you for visiting me in the waiting room."
At the end, he did not forget to add: Although I came empty-handed.
Byun Baekhyun chuckled twice. It was only when he arrived at KBS TV station that he found out that his good brother Kang Do Hwan was going to leave "Music Bank" today.
He sighed helplessly and said:
"Hey, when you are free, I will treat you to a meal, okay?"
"Then everyone who sees it will get a share. Brother, please remember to treat me."
Wu Sehun thought that he had finally found a good opportunity to ask his brother to treat him.
I recently treated some of my junior colleagues at the company to a meal and ended up spending quite a bit of money.
While the three were chatting, Byun Baekhyun happened to mention that Park Chanyeol from the same team was going to perform a collaboration stage with Twice's Lim Nayeon.
He quickly remembered the previous declaration ceremony, so there should be a special stage today as well!
Byun Baekhyun moved directly to Kang Dohwan’s side and sat on the sofa so that he could hook his shoulders.
He raised his eyebrows, made an ambiguous expression, and asked:
"Do Hwan~ You are going to perform your farewell performance with Irene xi, right?"
Just by listening, Kang Jo Hwan could tell that Byun Baekhyun was teasing him.
But he is now having some "evil thoughts".
Instead, I couldn't fight back with confidence.
Jiang Zhaohuan could only cough dryly, his eyes somewhat speechless:
"...Brother, your expression is a little hard to describe."
Wu Se-hun next to him was already used to being the boss of the group, playing with his phone and helping out:
"It's not hard to describe, it's obscene."
"Wu Se-hun, can you please stop talking? Can't you just be mute for once?"
Byun Baekhyun really feels that his maknae is his enemy.
He sighed, put away his gossipy expression, and asked seriously:
"What kind of stage have you prepared? Is it the same as the declaration ceremony?"
"No, no dancing this time."
"What about the song?"
“45.7cm.”
Byun Baekhyun took out his phone and searched it. After seeing the lyrics, he couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.
As expected of a writer for Music Bank.
He personally created the Friday Couple, a very popular CP, and even put a lot of thought into the song selection for their farewell stage.
No matter how you look at it, these lyrics are so appropriate.
Just when Baekhyun was about to make a joke, the door to the waiting room was pushed open.
The person who walked in this time was none other than Bae Joo-hyun who arrived late.
She looked at her senior from the same company who was sitting on the sofa with some surprise.
However, due to age issues, they still use plain language when talking in private.
"Irene Noona, you're here~ Sehun, let's go."
"Nei, come on, Noona."
Jiang Zhaohuan looked up and saw Bian Boxian winking at him before leaving. He wanted to make an international friendly gesture.
But since Bae Joo-hyun is here, I’d better maintain a good image.
After the two left, the atmosphere in the waiting room became awkward.
Jiang Zhaohuan stared at the bottle of mineral water on the coffee table and started to make small talk:
"Irene xi, would you like some water?"
"No, that's fine."
"Would you like some snacks? I have some..."
"No need, Ani."
The topic just stopped.
Obviously, their relationship had never been so awkward before.
How come when it's my turn to get off the car, I'm taken back to the day we first met?
How can he ask for contact information?
Bae Joo-hyun, who was sitting on the sofa, naturally knew that the current atmosphere was strange.
But she didn't know what to say.
She spent a lot of effort these two days to adjust her mentality.
As long as today passes, as an actor, he... should gradually withdraw from his own world.
So just bear with it today.
The current embarrassment did her no harm.
Bae Joo-hyun held the script but had no intention of reading it at all.
She also noticed out of the corner of her eye that the person next to her was frequently twisting the cap of the mineral water bottle.
Even Bae Joo-hyun herself didn't notice it.
The corners of her mouth gradually rose as someone tried to ease the embarrassment.
Neither of them tried to break the silence.
Until the staff came to notify them, everyone was doing their own thing.
This MC rehearsal is also slightly different from previous ones.
The farewell stage only confirmed the process and standing positions, and there was no actual singing with a mic.
Including the interactions between the two, nothing was made public in advance.
It's time for the official live broadcast.
The two returned to their tacit understanding and had a sweet interaction.
Kang Do-hwan went to the empty dressing room to change his clothes.
When she came out again, she was already wearing a pink suit.
This suit is very similar to the one worn by the Shin-Kai, but the color is darker.
Jiang Zhaohuan looked down at the clothes on his body, afraid that he would never have the chance to touch pink again.
He walked outside and saw Bae Joo-hyun who was already waiting at the side of the stage.
She wore the same outfit as she had worn during the declaration. There was no change.
If there is any difference, it is the slight change in hairstyle.
Jiang Zhaohuan glanced behind him.
After making sure that no one was coming back here, he boldly walked behind Bae Joo-hyun.
Even though he knew that she was easily frightened, he deliberately leaned over and called her name softly.
"Irene xi."
The sound so close made Bae Joo-hyun's body tremble.
She covered one of her ears, turned her head in surprise, and met those beautiful amber eyes.
Jiang Zhaohuan curved his eyebrows, not trying to hide his joy at all.
He lowered his head slightly and looked at her boldly, his long eyelashes casting a faint shadow.
“…After this is over, can you give me your contact information?”
Contact information.
Bae Joo-hyun didn't expect to hear these words.
This caused the building block wall that she had built with great difficulty to completely collapse.
"……it is good."
When uttering this word.
Bae Joo-hyun did not forget to comfort herself in her heart.
Comfort is just exchanging a contact method, nothing more.
The smile in Jiang Zhaohuan's eyes became even more intense, and his right hand, which was clenched nervously behind his back, loosened.
Fortunately, he agreed, otherwise... he was really afraid that he would risk it all and resort to acting like a spoiled child.
"Yeah, let's finish the stage, Irene."
He didn't use honorifics this time.
Bae Joo-hyun already had some guesses in her mind, but she still suppressed her affirmation.
She nodded and kept up the pace.
The distance between them just now was probably not 45.7cm.
