Chapter 27 Thank you, brother-in-law
On April 20th, the clock struck 00:00.
At the same time, "I NEED YOU" was released on major platforms, and countless fans flocked to it, causing a nearly half-minute buffering issue. This was the first time such a situation had ever occurred, demonstrating Lee Ji-eun's influence.
As a huge fan of Lee Ji-eun, Kang Hye-won immediately bought the music and put on her headphones to enjoy it.
She immediately chose the version sung by Lin Yuan, wanting to see how her idol's teammate was doing.
It begins with the sound of raindrops, followed by piano music, and then Lin Yuan's voice slowly rises.
아직기억나,
I still remember,
니가날두고떠난그날,
The day you left me,
가지말라고,
While saying "Don't go,"
울면서널붙잡던것도,
She was crying and grabbing you.
뒤돌아보면,
Looking back.
His magnetic voice sounded more like storytelling than singing.
"Wow, it sounds amazing!"
Jiang Huiyuan was truly amazed and chose to continue listening.
During the climax, IU's harmonies rang out, and that delicate feeling touched her heart, making her, who was still single, feel a pang of heartache and her nose tingle.
After listening to it once, she listened to IU's version, and the feeling was completely different; it was a complete technical crushing victory.
Jiang Huiyuan wiped away her tears and opened the comments section.
[I'm absolutely blown away by Lin Yuan's voice! I'm in love with it! Can I have a picture?]
[Wow, the lack of skill was completely compensated by emotion. To be honest, you wouldn't really notice it unless you're a professional. Thumbs up!]
Loen has such good taste; he's got another top-tier singer.
Seoul Daily: "I NEED YOU" has arrived with a bang, receiving rave reviews!
KBS TV: IU doesn't have any junior artists to support? Is Lin Yuan not a royal? LuMin's new song is really good!
! ! ! ! !
Other TV stations cast disdainful glances at KBS's shameless behavior, saying that the bastards had no shame and only knew how to lick boots.
An hour later, the Melon live charts were released, and "I NEED YOU" jumped straight into the top 20 and is still climbing.
"I NEED YOU" is very close to Exid's "Ah Yeah" and EXO's "Call Me Baby," and could surpass them at any time and reach the top.
Of course, Bae Joo-hyun's Ryderbabe also released a new song in March, which has already been crushed by LuMin, hence the phone call.
"Nuna".
As soon as the call connected, Lin Yuan greeted him politely, but the next second a barrage of questions came flooding in.
"Yo-ho, is this Lim Won-ssi? I'm Kim Ye-rin, your song is really good."
Lin Yuan gave an awkward smile, "Hello Yilin-xi, thank you for liking me, you're very cute too."
Upon hearing this, Kim Ye-rin immediately screamed, nearly deafening Lin Yuan. "Thank you, brother-in-law!"
? ? ? ? ?
For a moment, both sides fell silent.
Lee Ji-eun's eyes widened as she scraped her knife and fork against the plate, making a chilling "crunch" sound.
Bae Joo-hyun, who was still smiling to the side, immediately sensed that something was wrong. She snatched the phone and said coldly, "Go back to your rooms, all of you. I'll settle accounts with you later."
Kim Ye-rin trembled and hid behind Wendy, too afraid to make a sound.
Don't let Bae Joo-hyun's small stature and good-natured demeanor fool you. Once she gets angry, she'll show you what a "cold princess" is all about. Compared to her, Jessica in her younger days was just a lump of dough.
Bae Joo-hyun answered the phone and said softly, "Mia-nee, I didn't know Ye-rin would say that. Please don't take it to heart."
Lin Yuan glanced at Lee Ji-eun subconsciously, then replied seriously, "Hehe, it's nothing. Children just say the darndest things. Did you call because you need something?"
Judging from his tone, Bae Joo-hyun guessed that someone was nearby. "Congratulations on your new song's huge success. Also, please congratulate IU for me. I won't bother you anymore." After saying that, she hung up the phone.
Lee Ji-eun sneered and said sarcastically, "Heh, you're done fighting with your little wife? Why don't you chat a little longer? She's even calling me 'brother-in-law' now~"
Lin Yuan pushed Huang Lizhi aside and sat down next to Li Zhien. He reached out to hug her, but she shook him off. He tried a few more times, and Li Zhien reluctantly agreed.
"Don't be angry, the kid was just joking."
Lin Yuan said with a smile.
"snort!"
Lee Ji-eun knew it was a joke, but she still felt uncomfortable. She was the one who arrived first, and now Bae Joo-hyun had come along. She had finally managed to get Lin Yuan's kiss before her, but she never expected to be outdone in terms of how she addressed him.
Huang Lizhi, with the air of a curious child, hid in the corner and listened carefully, afraid of missing any exciting news, revealing her true nature as a little devil.
Lin Yuan patiently coaxed Huang Lizhi for a while before she calmed down. Seeing that it was getting late, he took Li Zhi'en and escorted Huang Lizhi downstairs, then hailed a taxi to take her home.
"Lin Yuan, come for a walk with me."
Lee Ji-eun suddenly spoke up.
"Okay." Lin Yuan glanced around to make sure neither of the two ghostly figures were there before nodding in agreement.
There's a small park in the community, and nobody's here anymore, which is perfect for Lee Ji-eun's next move.
The two walked along the fountain and the garden, eventually stopping at a small park.
Under the moonlight, Lin Yuan walked behind in a nonchalant manner, a cigarette dangling from his mouth, smoke swirling around him.
Lee Ji-eun, with her hands behind her back, hopped and skipped in front of the swing until she stopped.
She turned to look at Lin Yuan, so nervous that she couldn't speak.
Lin Yuan thought it was the cigarette, so he quickly stubbed it out and threw it away. "Sorry, I was craving a cigarette."
But when he looked up, Lee Ji-eun was still looking at him without saying a word.
Lin Yuan immediately stepped forward, touched her forehead, and asked with concern, "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
Lee Ji-eun's eyes flickered slightly, she shook her head, and mustered her courage to ask, "Lin Yuan, do you have an answer?"
"What's the answer?"
Lin Yuan asked, puzzled.
He didn't understand what Lee Ji-eun meant at all; Lee Ji-eun hadn't asked him any questions in the past two days.
Seeing this, Lee Ji-eun didn't wait any longer. She grabbed his collar, pulled him down, and kissed him on tiptoe.
The air fell silent instantly. Under the streetlights and in the moonlight, their shadows intertwined as the two drew closer.
After a long while, Lee Ji-eun finally opened her eyes, her lips moist and her face flushed, and asked, "And now?"
Lin Yuan suddenly realized, and looked at her intently, wanting to confirm his own feelings.
He took over Lin Yuan's body and enjoyed Li Zhi'en's love in Lin Yuan's place. Does he still have to accept the person Lin Yuan loved the most?
As for his own thoughts
Having a passionate romance with one's idol is a dream for many fans, and he is no exception.
Not to mention that standing in front of her is Lee Ji-eun, a national idol with a great reputation who has been popular from the second to the sixth generation of idols.
He reached out and stroked Lee Ji-eun's face; her eyes reflected Lin Yuan, or rather, him.
Two little figures were arguing in my mind.
Damn it! What's there to consider? Just go for it! What's there to think about? Lin Yuan is dead. Now you are Lin Yuan.
Damn it, Lee Ji-eun likes the old Lin Yuan, not you, an outsider, okay? Get lost, go find your Bae Joo-hyun.
Lin Yuan pondered for a moment, then slowly spoke, "I..."
