Chapter 53: Boiling

"Ahh

In a first-year classroom at Tongdeok Girls' High School in Seocho-gu, Seoul, during the break from class, a piercing and terrible scream exploded without warning, instantly attracting the attention of all the students left in the classroom.

"EXO is in love!"

In the face of the dissatisfied and puzzled eyes of her classmates, the girl who screamed didn't care at all, but stood up with her mobile phone and turned her head to shout loudly to the others, her face full of panic.

"Huh? No way? ”

"Who is who? Is Chanyeol? Or Sehoon? ”

"It can't be Yuan......"

"Don't be Yuan, Hajima......"

The same panicked responses came one after another, and some of those who were a little weaker even had a hint of crying.

After hearing this exciting news, more than half of the girls in the classroom hurriedly returned to their positions in panic and took out their mobile phones, wanting to check the protagonist and authenticity of the news as quickly as possible.

Because the men's group itself is not as good as the girl group's cognition and popularity, EXO is not well-known in the entire peninsula now, even if they are very popular now, but many older people, or people who don't care at all, have not even heard of their names.

But in the student group, EXO is absolutely thunderous, especially in the group of female students from the tenth to the twentieth generation, EXO's rice completely dominates, they have become the 'rulers of the student group' since the second half of last year, and they are still sitting on this throne, like more than half of the class in Tongde Girls' High School are fans of XO, and after hearing the news, they immediately broke the defense.

Half of them are fans, and the other half are the only fans of the members, among which the number of people who like Chi Jingyuan is the largest.

"It's Baehyun!"

The fan who screamed at the beginning shouted loudly again, her voice was low and angry, she was a fan of XO, no matter which member fell in love, it was a big blow to her, she read the news she saw word by word: "Baekhyun, a member of the popular boy group EXO, and Ji-sook, a member of the girl group rainbow, are in love, and it is reported that the two have been dating for more than four months since February this year." ”

"EXO's SM and rainbow's DSP said they are confirming the news."

At the bottom of the news, there are a few photos that are obviously taken candidly, which are obviously a couple of men and women walking very close to the road, the man is wearing a white baseball cap, not wearing a mask, and the most clear photo is a little ambiguous, but it can be vaguely identified from the side is Bian Boxian.

And Kim Ji-sook only showed half of her face in a few photos, and she looked very much like Kim Taeyeon at a glance.

There are no very out-of-the-ordinary movements in a few photos, just ordinary walks, chatting, waving goodbye, but anyone can see that the relationship between the two is very close.

Although the economic company is in the process of confirming, many people have immediately recognized the authenticity of these photos.

"It's Baehyun, it's him, it's too much."

"It's good that it's not Chanyeol."

"Whew, it's not Yuan, it's not Yuan, or I'm going crazy"

"I'll just say, Yuan Oba is so good to fans, how can he fall in love at the rise of his career, he definitely won't do it."

"But even Baekhyun is very uncomfortable, how long has XO debuted?"

After hearing that the protagonist was Bian Boxian, many people immediately patted their chests and breathed a sigh of relief, for some only fans, as long as they are not their main protagonists, even if they are in the same group, they do not have a great impact on them.

Of course, I will definitely feel angry and dissatisfied in my heart, and at the same time, I will worry about whether my idol will also be in love.

This is, a girl walks into the classroom from the outside, and when she sees the atmosphere inside, she doesn't feel quite right.

The other students were also stunned when they saw her, and their eyes couldn't help but be dyed with a touch of sympathy.

This girl is a very famous Bian Boxian fan, a very fanatical kind.

"Ji-hee, ah......"

A female classmate looked at Jimin who walked in, hesitated for a moment and said, "Go and see the news." ”

"What's wrong?" Jihee was still chewing on the snack he had just bought, and looked at it curiously.

"Baekhyun was revealed to be in love."

"How can it be ......" Ji-hee smiled and ate another potato chip, and said very confidently: "Oba agreed with us during the interview that he would not fall in love before the age of 35." ”

"Really, I don't believe you watch the news on the Internet yourself, although the company hasn't admitted it yet, the photos are out, and you can see it quite clearly."

"........." Seeing his classmates' words, Zhixi was also a little panicked, and he didn't have the heart to eat potato chips anymore, so he hurriedly returned to his seat and took out his mobile phone to look at it.

After seeing those few dating photos, Zhixi seemed to have been hit from the front of the Tianling Gai with a heavy hammer, and the whole person was stunned, and he couldn't speak.

Even if that photo is a mosaic, she can recognize the boy at a glance as her favorite idol Baekhyun.

Zhixi, who was still smiling just now, looked at the tears that fell, and the mobile phone also fell on the table with a bang, and the whole person sat there in a daze, sad and depressed:

"Clearly agreed ......"

…………

Relationship exposure is one of the most popular and gimmicky entertainment news among netizens, especially when the protagonist of the news is still the hottest member of the men's group.

debuted in 2009, rainbow has always been quite popular, not a lake group, but it is naturally a lot worse than those first-line girl groups, and since its debut, it has not won a singing show.

And EXO doesn't need to be repeated, their popularity is still at a peak after a very successful comeback, and they are currently the most popular boy group on the peninsula, not even one of them.

But now it's just news, and many XO fans, especially Bian Boxian's only fans, still have a fluke mentality, hoping that the company will deny this love news.

Although the photos are actually quite clear, as long as the company denies them, they can be regarded as not seeing, and they still fully believe SM's statement.

However, a few hours after the news was exposed, SM Company said through press materials: "The two got along with each other in the relationship between their former and younger generations, and recently developed a good impression of each other and began to fall in love. The fact that Byun Baek-hyun and Kim Ji-sook are in love was confirmed.

This statement is a bolt from the blue for the large number of XO meals.

The already restless Internet instantly became lively.

"Since Oba likes it, let's all support it."

"After all, Baekhyun is also in his twenties, which is the age to fall in love, so I can only say that I wish happiness."

This is a message from Rational Rice, and although he is in a bad mood, he still expresses his blessings.

But this kind of meal still accounts for a very small minority, and more are ordinary fans who are carried away by anger and disappointment, and the ins of Bian Baekhyun and Kim Ji-sook instantly poured into countless fans to leave messages.

"What about the original agreement? You've let us down so much. ”

"I lost my fans, how much I liked you at the beginning, and how much I hate you now."

"Can you be a little dedicated, how long has it been since you debuted? Don't you feel sorry for the members of XO? ”

Byun Baek-hyun is mainly the extreme disappointment of many fans and the anger of losing his fans, compared to him, Kim Ji-sook was attacked by XO's huge fan base.

"West Eight women to die, die, die, die!"

"What is the eighteenth-tier girl group rubbing the popularity of our Oba, why don't you sell it if you like to seduce men so much?"

"Do you think that looking like Kim Taeyeon is Kim Taeyeon yourself? Can you look in the mirror?

“…………”

Rainbow naturally has fans who support her group, but their number is nothing compared to the planetary rice that is in full swing, and their combat power is not at the same level at all, so it can be said that they will collapse at the touch of a button.

When the news was exposed, EXO, who was running a trip outside, was also urgently recalled to the company, and all subsequent activities were temporarily canceled or postponed.

After participating in LG's product launch conference in the magic capital, Ji Jingyuan also returned to the peninsula on the 18th, and he happened to be with the group when he was urgently recalled by the company, so he came back together.

After they came back, they were taken to a small conference room on the fourth floor, except for Do Hyun-so, who joined the group to shoot a TV series as soon as he returned to the peninsula, and Bian Baek-hyun, who was taken away by Lee Seung-hwan as soon as he returned to the company, the other ten people were all present, and their expressions were not very good to discuss this matter.

"Baekhyun is too careless, how can he shoot so clearly? Look at this, I can't wait to slap him in the face when I look at the camera, he doesn't know it yet. ”

Park Chanyeol looked at his phone, pointed to one of the pictures and complained.

"And you see the road they are walking along in the photo, is it the alley next to our dormitory, the one where the store with the delicious roasted intestines is located?"

"It seems like yes, I look like it."

"Assi, this road is so close to our dormitory, even if there are no paparazzi, it is easy to bump into fans, he actually chose to date here, I don't know what to think...... At least find a place to hide, or if you can't, just get in the car. ”

"Ah......h

"The company has admitted to the relationship." Jin Junmian shook his head when he saw the latest news: "I don't know how sad our rice should be, and Baehyun's rice is estimated to be crazy now." ”

"It's really ugly."

Ji Jingyuan's viewer Bian Bae-hyun and Kim Ji-sook's ins, looking at the constantly surging and somewhat unsightly offensive messages on it, couldn't help but sigh.

Although I knew that their XO fans were fanatical, they had attacked many other idols on the Internet, such as Bae Suzhi, who was washed during the previous "some" period, was one of them.

It's just that it was just a collaboration song at the time, so it looked close, and there was nothing too ambiguous, so the fans didn't go too far that time, and the point stopped.

And this time it really touched the bottom line of planetary rice.

This time, he really saw how strong these fans' fighting power and fanaticism were.

It's hard for anyone to bear being scolded like this, and it is estimated that Kim Ji-sook will be about to close the comment after a while.

There are not a few people who scold Bian Boxian, and many of them attack the sentence he once said, 'I won't fall in love before the age of 35'.

This was not said in a formal setting, but in an interview in a magazine.

But no matter where he said it, as long as it was made public, it naturally became an agreement with fans, and many of Bian Boxian's meals were very relieved after seeing what he said, and they felt that they didn't have to worry about their idol's love problems.

I didn't expect to be slapped in the face so soon.

So this kind of FG-like words can't be said casually.,Even if you want to set up a person, you can't say it so absolutely.。

When participating in the recording of "Golden Fishery" some time ago, when the MC asked the question of whether anyone was in love, all the members of Team K smiled and remained silent and did not answer, saying that it is definitely impossible, and if there is no, no one knows what the future will be like, maybe the love will be exposed the next day.

Therefore, Bian Boxian's promise has no benefit other than slapping himself in the face.

Because it is impossible for idols to fall in love until they are 35 years old, let alone idols who are in contact with handsome men and beautiful women all day long and are sought after by countless fans, as long as they are normal men and women, it is basically impossible, pure.

Well, now, the cow that he used to blow out casually in order to pretend to be his biggest point of attack has become his biggest point of attack.

"Why did the company admit it directly, without delaying or denying it?"

kept swiping up and down on his mobile phone, frowning and asking: "And this kind of thing, shouldn't the media that generally broke the news communicate with the company first, and then the company should usually stop it?" ”

He said that it also makes sense.,Generally this situation should indeed be like this.,It's like a girl's generation, it's impossible to just talk about this love for so many years.,This year, all of them were suddenly exposed, and a lot of them were because SM didn't stop the news.。

"Who knows, maybe you don't want to stop it, or you may not be able to stop it......" Wu Shixun pouted: "Maybe people are targeting us." ”

"Alas......"

Another sigh.

It has been smooth sailing since "Roaring Filial Piety", or since "wolf", and EXO, which is about to reach the top today, finally encountered a difficult problem.

After waiting for a while, Lee Seung-hwan came back first, stood in front of him after entering the door, clapped his hands, and looked at the members with some seriousness: "Baekhyun This matter is very sudden and unexpected, but the company has a corresponding way to deal with it, you must not express any opinions on SNS, and when asked by the media, you should also pay attention to avoid it, understand?" ”

"Got it." They answered together.

Lee Seung-hwan nodded, then looked at them and said anxiously, "In addition, the sudden revelation of Baekhyun's love affair caught the company a little off guard, and I didn't prepare at all before...... Who else among you is dating? ”

The members of the "......" looked at each other, and in the blink of an eye, no one spoke.

There are no fools here, I really think that confession is lenient, except for Chi Jingyuan, the other members who said that they are in a relationship, it is estimated that they will be directly led out to ask about the situation after a training session, and then the mobile phone will be confiscated, and they will be ordered to break up, and even the activities may be suspended.

Although Bian Boxian has not come back yet, his next members have also counted it in their hearts.

XO's debut time is still too short, and it's only been a little more than two years now, and it's still in a period of strict company management, if it's been four years since its debut, the degree of freedom will be much greater, even if the company knows that the members are in love, they won't be too serious or say anything, and they will even take the initiative to help you stop the news.

Lee Seung-hwan looked around and looked at everyone's faces, and shook his head helplessly after looking at the smiling Ji Jingyuan, he also knew that he couldn't ask anything, but he still advised: "Even if you are in love, it is best to report it to the company, and let the company prepare in advance when encountering something like Baehyun." ”

"Inside!"

"Jingyuan has LG advertising shooting for a while, you wait and go first, and Baekhyun will suspend today's activities first, and others don't have to wait for him, let's continue the rest of today's itinerary first, and go back in the rest of the night."

Lee Seung-hwan also sighed:

"Let's leave it at that."

…………

Then Ji Kyung-won followed Park Jae-hyun and his assistant to leave the company and rush to the filming location of LG's advertisement, and the advertising workload of the whole line of products was very large, and this was the main focus of his work during this time.

In the round-trip car, as well as during the break between shooting advertisements, Ji Kyung-won has been using his mobile phone to watch the situation on the Internet, which is still noisy and chaotic, and the ins of Bian Boxian and Kim Ji-sook are even more of the hardest hit areas, and the comment area of the two people is not only full of various accusations and abusive messages, but the number of fans is still decreasing at a rate visible to the naked eye.

Kim Ji-sook doesn't have many fans because of the combination and popularity, so it's not very obvious, and Byun Boxian's ins already has more than one million fans, and he is in the forefront of the entire EXO, but his number of fans has decreased by more than 50,000 in just one afternoon, and these are all usually active live fans.

And that's just the first day.

Then there was a lot of discussion in EXO's fanclub, and many fans expressed their disappointment and worry, even Ji Kyung-won's own fan club, and the fans were worried about whether EXO would be the same as Girls' Generation, Baekhyun was just the beginning, and the later exposure was half a group.

In the afternoon, several big fans who knew Ji Jingyuan's contact information, such as his first fan, Park Xiuna, one of the biggest station sisters, also sent messages to ask similar questions.

Thinking of the turmoil of girls' generation at the beginning of the year, it really frightened many people.

If the same were true for EXO...... It's scary to think about.

Chi Jingyuan didn't know how to reply, so he simply said the situation.

He understands the love situation of the members of the team, and he definitely can't say some big things with a package ticket, he can only guarantee that he will not be exposed.

Or even if he had some news, the company would definitely not admit it.

But then again, Ji Jingyuan feels as if he is not in a relationship at the moment.

It was nearly twelve o'clock after he went back in the evening, and as soon as he opened the door and walked in to change his shoes, he saw several members sitting on the sofa talking, while Bian Boxian sat in the middle and watched the TV in a daze.

"Jingyuan, I'm back." Park Chanyeol said hello.

"Well, I haven't slept yet." Ji Jingyuan nodded, changed his shoes and walked in, went to the bathroom to wash up first, then walked to the living room and stood behind the sofa for a while, watching the laughter from the variety show that was playing on the TV, and at the same time observing Bian Boxian.

As if feeling Ji Jingyuan's gaze, Bian Boxian looked back at Ji Jingyuan, squeezed out a smile at him, nodded lightly and turned back.

Byun Baek-hyun and Park Chan-yeol are usually among the most cheerful and active people in the dormitory, but this will be like a dead corpse.

This guy looks really sad.

After standing for a while, Ji Jingyuan gently patted him on the shoulder, then walked into his bedroom and gently closed the door.

Du Junxiu is still in the crew, and I don't know if I will come back today, but even if I do, it is estimated that it will be two or three o'clock.

"What's the situation?"

Ji Jingyuan closed the door gently, then looked at Wu Shixun, who was playing with his mobile phone just now, and asked in a low voice with a chin on the outside.

"It's pretty much what we thought, the phone is confiscated, no sound is allowed or something."

Wu Shixun waited for Chi Jingyuan to walk in, and then lowered his voice and said.

"Didn't say you had to break up?"

"I didn't mention that."

Chi Jingyuan pursed his lips, that's okay.

But although you don't have to break up, the situation of fans is the most uncomfortable, watching those who once unconditionally supported themselves now get rid of their meals one by one, and even some of them attack themselves in turn, no one must be sad.

However, this is also Bian Boxian's own problem, falling in love is a taboo for idols who have not debuted for a long time.

And if you want to fall in love, you will hide it in private and no one will care about you, even if the company knows about it, it will not be good, but if it is exposed, you will definitely have to bear it yourself.

The atmosphere of the team is not good, and they are too lazy to talk about anything, so they lean on the bed and swipe their phones for a while before resting.

Bian Boxian only suspended the activity for one day, and began to participate in normal activities with the group the next day, although Ji Jingyuan did not join the group because of the filming of LG commercials, but after coming back, I heard that Bian Boxian was often questioned by fans during the event, and he just bowed his head silently and left.

And it seems that in addition to the number of SNS fans who have dropped a lot, the musicals he starred in recently have also received a large number of ticket refunds, which can be described as a chain reaction that everything is not going well.

Even the rest of the entire EXO have been affected, and the atmosphere in the team is a little solemn during this time.

But to be honest, although many members are complaining from time to time, no one really blames Bian Boxian, after all, everyone is actually not so honest in private, and many people are also in secret relationships, and everyone's eldest brother doesn't talk about the second brother, but because it is hidden enough or lucky, it is not exposed.

Seeing Baekhyun like this now, some members are also sneering in their hearts, as if they see what it should be like if they are exposed one day.

Chi Jingyuan is fortunate not to worry about this, Li Xiuman even expressed his support for him to fall in love in person before, and if he disagrees, the news will not be exposed, but the mood now is definitely not as smooth as a few days ago.

Especially after seeing a lot of Bian Boxian's fans, the amazing fighting spirit and heart-warming resentment that broke out after stepping on the powder really made Chi Jingyuan sigh in his heart.

Die-hard fans are really much more terrible than pure black fans.

And Kim Ji-sook and DSP also admitted their relationship after SM admitted it, but since then, there has been no movement from the two companies, and the man and woman have no intention of speaking or responding to the outside world at all, burying their heads and pretending to be invisible.

Let the Internet boil, they lie flat and laugh, and no longer do anything to stimulate the emotions of fans.

Nearly a week has passed in the blink of an eye.

At five or six o'clock in the afternoon, Chi Jingyuan had just returned to the company from the studio where he was shooting the advertisement, put some things in the practice room, and then sat in the elevator and went downstairs with his bag on his back, ready to go to the place to eat.

Just now he received a call from Jin Junmian asking when he would come back, saying that it was because the impact of some recent events was not very good, and there was no itinerary tonight, and he was going to organize a dinner party, so that everyone could have a meal and drink some wine together, so as to relieve the tense atmosphere in the team in the past few days.

When I received the call, Ji Jingyuan was already in the nanny car and was about to arrive at the company, so I took the opportunity to say that I would be there in a while, and after Jin Junmian hung up the phone, he sent the address, which was in a restaurant in the commercial street next to it, and they EXO had been there together once before.

Chi Jingyuan has a very good impression of that shop, and the dishes are very good.

When he walked out of the elevator on the first floor, Chi Jingyuan walked briskly in the direction of the side door, it was meal time, and the scattered trainees he met next to him hurriedly saluted and greeted him after seeing him, but he just nodded and didn't respond much.

Walking around the corner to the position of the side door, Chi Jingyuan was stunned as soon as he turned around and looked up, and several familiar figures were standing in the corridor next to the side door at this time.

At a glance, he recognized Bae Joo-hyun, who was wearing white short sleeves and denim shorts with his back to him, and Sun Shengwan and a girl he didn't know next to him.

These people seem to be waiting for someone, and it is estimated that the one who is waiting is Jiang Shiqi, who is not there.
