Chapter 16 Curiosity Killed the Cat
Chapter 16 Curiosity Killed the Cat
Meanwhile, Jessica and Krystal had just seen Jessica Jung return to Girls' Generation's dorm from the window.
As soon as I stepped inside, a somewhat languid voice rang in my ears: "You're back."
Jessica Jung turned her head and saw Kim Tae-yeon standing by the dining table drinking water, her hair messy, looking like she had just woken up.
"Hmm, you just woke up?"
"yes."
Kim Tae-yeon squinted and nodded: "I finally got half a day off, of course I should get a good night's sleep."
Jessica Jung pursed her lips slightly upon hearing this.
Kim Tae-yeon has indeed been very busy lately. The TTS subunit has just debuted, and it's their busiest time yet.
However, looking at herself, she and Kim Tae-yeon and Im Yoon-ah are both top members of the group in terms of popularity, but she has had far fewer schedules lately, which makes her feel somewhat disappointed.
Actually, initially, the company's chosen members for the sub-unit were her, Tiffany, and Seohyun, not Kim Tae-yeon.
The three of them had even recorded the song, but at that time the company happened to have a script, and the company gave her a choice between the script and the sub-unit, and she finally chose the script.
If I have the opportunity to be an actor, I should definitely give it a try.
Actors have a much longer career span than idols, and their status is also much higher.
So Kim Tae-yeon took her place, and the JTS subunit became TTS.
She went on to film a TV series called "Violent Romance," where she also gave her first on-screen kiss.
Unfortunately, the drama failed to make any waves after it aired in January, and she herself was criticized by the audience for her awkward acting in the drama.
His acting career, which had just begun, came to an end.
Jessica Jung has also wondered several times if her popularity would have soared even higher if she hadn't chosen to film dramas but instead debuted in a sub-unit.
When people make choices and the results are not what they hoped for, they always imagine that if they had chosen a different path, the outcome might have been better.
But Jessica Jung didn't really complain. Taking on acting was her own choice, and no one forced her. She accepted the current outcome.
What really made her resentful was that the company seemed to be intentionally taking back some resources.
Jessica Jung sat on the sofa, lost in her own thoughts.
Suddenly, a soft, delicate body pressed against her.
"What are you thinking about?"
Jessica Jung snapped out of her daze, glanced at Taeyeon Kim who was sitting next to her, and shook her head.
"It's nothing, I was just spacing out."
"Aww."
Kim Tae-yeon yawned and slowly rested her head on Jessica Jung's shoulder.
"Tiffany told you that the guy Hyoyeon introduced you to is a conman?"
"Yes, that's right."
Jessica Jung didn't intend to hide what happened that night, so it's normal that everyone knows now.
"I've already told Hyoyeon not to introduce people she doesn't know well to her friends in the future."
Kim Tae-yeon narrowed her eyes and asked again, "Jessica, are you really planning to start a fashion brand?"
Everyone in the group knows that Jessica Jung intends to start her own business.
She's part of Girls' Generation, so it's impossible for her to do this behind the backs of the group, and the company can't possibly keep it a secret either.
Jessica Jung pursed her lips slightly: "I only have a preliminary idea; I haven't thought of the specifics yet."
The main reason she decided to start her own business was because her attempt to transition into acting failed, and her personal resources dwindled, which gave her a sense of crisis.
Idols have a short career span, and although Girls' Generation is currently the most popular girl group in Taiwan, with overwhelming popularity and a certain influence throughout Asia.
But how many years can this popularity last? In the end, everyone will have to find their own way out.
Creating a fashion brand is the path that Jessica Jung has prepared for herself.
However, establishing a brand and expanding into various channels is still very difficult for her to do alone.
"Well, just handle it yourself. The company's attitude is unclear right now, so don't worry too much."
"Okay, I understand."
Just as Jessica Jung agreed, her delicate body suddenly trembled.
"Hey, Kim Tae-yeon, just talk, why are you touching my waist!"
Hehe~
Kim Tae-yeon, who was pushed away, chuckled: "It was just that I couldn't help myself, Jessica, your waist is too flexible."
As she spoke, she unconsciously rubbed her fingers together, accompanied by a smirk on her face, which made Jessica Jung roll her eyes.
Perverted Yeon!
"By the way, Yoona said that one of your fans found out about Kwon Ning-il's background. What does that fan do?"
Those who can get into this kind of private gathering are definitely not ordinary fans.
Before Jessica Jung could answer, a voice suddenly rang out: "Fans? What fans?"
Kim Tae-yeon and Jessica Jung were startled and stared speechlessly at Lee Soon-kyu, who had suddenly appeared from nowhere.
"Hey, Lee Soon-kyu, do you know that scaring someone can kill them?"
"Oh, that's not important. What's important is what kind of fans they are!"
Lee Soon-kyu moved closer to the two of them, her beautiful eyes sparkling.
As soon as she stepped out of the room, she overheard the two talking about fans.
She could smell the melon.
"You know the fan Yoona mentioned who helped Jessica, right?"
"Oh, that fan."
Lee Soon-kyu suddenly realized, then looked at Jessica Jung and probed further: "Jessica, how old is your fan? What does he do? Is he handsome?"
Jessica Jung rolled her eyes at her: "Are you checking my census records?"
"Hey, tell me, tell me."
Kim Tae-yeon also cast a curious glance at her.
Jessica Jung pursed her lips: "I don't know much either. I only know that he was born in 90, is a Chinese who settled on the peninsula, and graduated from Seoul National University. That's all I know, since I haven't known him for very long."
"Born in 90, that's a year younger than us." Kim Tae-yeon nodded, her eyes flickering slightly.
"Is he handsome?" Lee Soon-kyu emphasized.
"At the level of a public figure," Jessica Jung replied somewhat vaguely.
"Wow, a top student from Seoul National University, and also a handsome guy."
Lee Soon-kyu exclaimed with admiration, "Jessica, you have such high-quality fans! Did he help you that day because he wanted to pursue you?"
Jessica Jung shook her head decisively: "Not at all."
She met Chen Ran twice, but he didn't show any interest in her at all. Instead, he seemed more like someone who was there to complete a mission.
This behavior suggests either that Chen Ran is genuinely uninterested in her, or that he is actually a master of manipulation, waiting for her to take the bait.
Given his age, the second possibility is practically impossible.
Standing nearby, Lee Soon-kyu looked thoughtful: "He's not interested in you? Then why did he help you? Was it really just out of kindness?"
Jessica Jung's eyes flickered.
Although she said she didn't intend to think about Chen Ran's motives for helping her, how could she really not think about it at all?
To be honest, Chen Ran's almost indifferent attitude towards her made her, who was used to being the center of attention, instinctively feel a little frustrated.
But at the same time, she couldn't help but feel curious about Chen Ran.
The fact that I stopped to check if Chen Ran was home when I passed by his house just now is proof of that.
This curiosity, like a kitten's paw, would occasionally tickle her heart.
