Chapter 32: All Hands Gather

Wu Yifan is back, and the combination of EXO has finally become a complete form again.

Twelve people, finally all together.

Although Wu Yifan, a guy who acted arbitrarily and caused a lot of trouble, has been unusually low-key and easy-going in the past few days after returning to South Korea and returning to EXO's dormitory, and he also took the initiative to order a few very hearty takeaways out of his pocket, so that the other members of EXO, who still had a lot of opinions about him, had to accept him again - after all, they are teammates who have been together for many years, and even for the future and future of the EXO, they have to re-accept Wu Yifan's appearance" The prodigal son turned back" guy.

They have just become popular, and they are just about to enter their peak, if at such a time, there is a conflict of discord within the team, or even the situation that no one wants to see the members leave the team......

The bloody case that happened in the group called T-ara, which had been popular in the past two years and seemed to be on the verge of catching up with Girls' Generation, is right in front of you.

The company has compromised in a way - after the huge success of the EXO group last year, this year is the perfect time to make a big profit from their meteoric popularity, and at a time like this, it is more important than anything else to try to maintain stability.

In this way, the plan formulated by the company's planning department immediately entered the execution stage directly from the preparation stage——. the company has even prepared for the worst-case situation of Wu Yifan's "absence", and it is also ready to let the EXO group forcibly return and hold a concert in the form of eleven people, and now that Wu Yifan's people have returned, naturally there is nothing to scruple about.

The company's planning department moved out again after a slight change——. and the company had decided not to refrigerate Wu Yifan, but to let this guy follow EXO for the next various itineraries and activities.

As for Wu Yifan's punishment, it is just a "innocuous matter" such as redistributing part of the singing segments that may have belonged to him to other members, and not giving him personal close-ups in the MV.

Last night, Wang Nanqian, together with other members, heard some content about their upcoming return plan from Lin Xuanjun and Zhao Yalin, the two agents of EXO, and also learned about the company's final decision on Wu Yifan's guy.

He didn't know what other members thought of Wu Yifan in their hearts, but because Wu Yifan had been constantly apologizing to him in the past few days, and had been trying to get his forgiveness in a low voice, Wang Nanqian, who was deeply hurt by that guy, had been a little shaken because of this, and was even thinking about whether to forgive the guy who had been like a brother to him - but after hearing the company's final punishment decision on Wu Yifan, he suddenly said from the bottom of his heart. There is an inexplicable emotion mixed with various complex emotions including dissatisfaction and doubt.

He has never been the kind of person who is jealous of other people, and will shake himself because of other people's circumstances, but...... When he was ruthlessly hidden by the company, he just made such a small mistake and almost fell into the endless abyss, if he wasn't extremely lucky to get an opportunity, he doesn't know what he would become now-and what about Wu Yifan? He made such a big storm, but now he is ......

"Wait a minute, in addition to the director and screenwriter will come, there will be ...... BROTHER ...... NAN?"

“…… Huh?"

Keenly aware that the guy standing in front of him was in a daze, as if he didn't even notice what he was saying - this made Lee Jong Suk, who had deliberately run out of the door to greet the other party and was about to give the other party a good advice, couldn't help but reach out and pat the guy on the shoulder, and at the same time amplify his own volume by several points.

So the guy who was really stunned finally reacted.

"Brother, what's wrong with you? Don't you seem to be in a very good state? You haven't rested well lately, or you didn't sleep yesterday?"

This made Lee Jong Suk couldn't help but ask that guy - this brother, who had formed a deep friendship because he had starred in a TV series with him, looked a little gloomy, and the whole person looked a little listless, not at all like the NAN brother he knew, no matter how hard he worked, but always put a smile on his face.

"Ah...... Ah, there's been a lot going on lately...... Zhong Shuo, do I really look that unbearable now?

When he just stepped out of the nanny car, Wang Nanqian was indeed still full of news that he had heard from Lin Xuanjun and Zhao Yalin last night - he had been plagued by that inexplicable emotion since last night, which made him really not pay much attention to what Li Zhongshuo who took the initiative to pick him up whispered in his ear.

It wasn't until Lee Jong Suk's hand, which almost dragged and bluffed him into the crew of this late spring drama on SBS TV, that Wang Nanqian finally concentrated his attention and regained his spirits.

He's going to meet all the members of the crew who are said to have a budget of nearly 10 billion won, and if he really looks half-dead as Lee Jong Suk said, if the big guys of the SBS TV tower think that he doesn't pay attention to this production and have some other ideas in his heart, it will make a big mess-

So after being "woken up" by Lee Jong Suk's slap that didn't use any strength at all, Wang Nanqian, who had already starred in three TV series and had long learned how to quickly enter the role, immediately adjusted his state and forcibly put aside all the complex emotions that had been entrenched in his mind all night and he almost didn't sleep well.

“…… Brother, you can ...... like this now. Very good!"

Seeing that Wang Nam-qian, who was still gloomy just now, smiled at him while talking, and suddenly changed back to the image of "Chairman Nam" that he was no longer familiar with, Lee Jong Suk couldn't help but spit out in his heart: This brother's "acting skills" are really getting better and better, and the "absence" of this brother, who can't play a role or make a cameo, is really a huge loss for this TV series that will be starring him.

However, Lee Jong Suk really didn't want anything more from this brother with a good personality, and through the official channels of SBS TV, he already knew that EXO was about to return in April and release a mini album, and also knew that the group, which had skyrocketed last year, would take advantage of this momentum to start their first concert tour immediately after their return - in such a busy schedule, it is indeed almost impossible to find time to contribute to their crew.

It's already a very rare thing to be able to squeeze two songs out of the hands of this brother who should be extremely busy in the next few months like this - if it weren't for the fact that he and this brother have always had a very good relationship, if it were for SBS TV to come forward directly, the company would have refused directly.

"Really? That's good...... Ah, by the way, Zhong Shuo, what were you going to tell me just now?"

"I said, the director and screenwriter will come over today, and there will be many other people who will also participate in the production, so it can basically be regarded as a state of full gathering......

Looking at Wang Nanqian, who had completely adjusted his state, with a little helplessness, Lee Jong Suk shrugged his shoulders lightly and repeated the words that he had just failed to finish.

When will I be able to practice with all the people in the same place?

Lying alone on the couch in the corner of the practice room, Kim Nam-joo, who was already tired and almost fell asleep, casually swiped her fingers across the screen of her phone, while spinning such thoughts in her mind.

Seeing that they are about to make a comeback with a mini album, Jung Eun-ji, the lead singer of Apink, who has always been the most popular in the group and who has also relied on this popularity to lead Apink's progress, has hardly had a few full exercises with the other members - the "lead singer" who has achieved great success in the field of acting The personal itinerary is so busy that in the last week, even as a member of Apink, she has barely seen the two sides of Ernie.

Just when Kim Nam-joo was about to lose any more support, and the upper and lower eyelids were about to close together, the door of the practice room was finally opened from the outside—the figure of Jung Eun-di, who had disappeared since the morning and finally reappeared until the time was close to the early hours of the morning, appeared in front of her eyes.

"I'm back!"

Looking at Ernie who had just finished the rehearsal of the musical and rushed back to the practice room in the early hours of the morning, he did not return to the dormitory with the other Apink members because of the agent's request, but deliberately stayed behind to "teach" the newly added choreographer to Ernie who was still neglecting to practice because of too many schedules and announcements even though he was about to return, and then rubbed his eyes in response to Jung Eun-di, who was still in a very "good" state of mind at this time.

"Grace...... You're really, you're coming back soon, can you really do that?"

Probably Kim Nam-joo was so impatient with waiting that she didn't even bother to use honorifics.

"Nanzhu, I'm really sorry for you! Look, I've brought you something delicious, so forgive me, right?"

Returned at the end of March, starred in a musical in April, and began filming a new TV series in May...... Regardless of what Zheng Endi thinks, her schedule has already been filled with a full schedule - although the seemingly endless and dense itinerary makes her tired, but in a way, it is not completely without benefits.

At least she didn't have to force a smile in front of all the team members, especially Ernie as the captain.

"Huh? really?...... Ahhh......hh I love you so much!"

Jung Eun-di's so-called "delicious" is just the kind of loose pudding that he bought from a convenience store, but at a time when all the members of Apink are busy preparing for their return and are losing weight like crazy, even this kind of loose pudding is definitely an irresistible temptation for Kim Nam-joo.

"Nanzhu, slow down...... Oops, no one is robbing you!"

Seeing Kim Nam-joo pop out of the sofa and grab the pudding she had just held in the palm of her hand, Jung Eun-di couldn't help but squint and laugh - after Hong Yujun, who had the best relationship with her, left the group, in the Apink group, the only person who could make her treat easily and not bother to manage the relationship was Kim Nam-joo, who had a cheerful personality and didn't care much about small things.

“…… You're still good to me! Remember to bring me food, it's not like that guy at Chu Long Oni! It's really ruthless and unjust......"

Listening to the words of Kim Nam-joo, who couldn't wait to bite down on the pudding, but hadn't forgotten the chatter, Jung Eun-di, who tilted his head, suddenly caught something from it.

"Huh? Chu Long...... What's wrong with Ernie her? Ruthless and unjust?"

"Huh, don't you know? They didn't tell you?"

In the past few days, she has been busy with the rehearsals of the musical she is about to participate in, and even on the day of Park Chulong's birthday, she just said "Happy Birthday" to Park Chulong, who was still cowering in bed and in a daze, after getting up in the morning - Zheng Eundi, who was the first to leave the dormitory every day and would not return to the dormitory until the middle of the night, did not have much opportunity to contact other members during this period of time, so naturally no one told her any gossip stories.

"Oh...... On Chu Long Oni's birthday, she took a leave of absence to go home in the evening...... We all thought she was going to bring us something to eat, but she didn't bring us anything, it was so heartless!"

swallowed the small pudding in two or three bites, and Kim Nam-joo not only did not get satisfied, but felt a little hungrier than before, which made her subconsciously amplify her voice when she complained to Zheng Eundi, and her tone was also full of resentment.

"Chu Long Oni...... She's probably thinking about helping you with body management, right?"

Jung Eun-di was not interested in what Kim Nam-joo complained about, but he had to deal with it casually.

“…… By the way, do you have an itinerary tomorrow too?"

I don't know if I heard something from Jung Eun-di's casual tone, and Kim Nam-joo, who yawned a lot, didn't continue on the topic of Park Chu-ryong - she asked as she stretched her arms and prepared to start "coaching" Jung Eun-di to learn a new choreography.

I don't know if I was infected by Kim Nam-joo, after yawning like her, Zheng Eun-di used her hand to wipe the corners of her eyes that had become a little moist because of the action just now, and laughed from the bottom of her heart: After so many days, she can finally sleep a little longer.

"Tomorrow, I have an itinerary tomorrow...... It started in the afternoon, though. ”
