Chapter 174: Chapter 174: The Chinese Variety Show (Part 5)
“Co on,” I said to the five people standing below on the stairs, but Luyoung and Jang-chun remained where they were. They were staring at in anticipation. If this had been the lobby or sowhere with more space, they would’ve attacked by now. Unfortunately, the stairs were narrow. Not to ntion the pumling these two had gotten earlier. They were probably still scared of because of that. Just then, Luwein and Yisung attempted to co forward, but Jang-chun stopped them.
“Freeze.”
At that, Luwein and Yisung both stared at Jang-chun in confusion. So, Jang-chun spoke up.
“You can’t beat this one.”
He said it so seriously and yet it sounded like an odd scene from a movie. At first, Luwein and Yisung protested but once Luyoung, the pro-wrestler, backed up Jang-chun, the two shut up. And they all turned to stare at again. Guk-jong stood next to .
“Sian, you’re amazing.”
“What do you an?”
“They’re too scared to attack you,” Guk-jong said in genuine surprise. Of course, he was surprised. Luyoung and Jang-chun were both huge. I was barely half their size, and yet they seed genuinely hesitant to attack .
“Of course they are,” I answered. Guk-jong nodded. Then, he turned to Jang-chun.
“Hey, Jang-chun.”
“Yes?” Jang-chun replied.
“I heard Sian got your na tag…”
“You wouldn’t be able to win against Sian, either,” Jang-chun cut in.
“What?” Guk-jong demanded. His face seed rather insulted by that, but Jang-chun kept going.
“I said you can’t beat her either. She’ll probably have yours too.”
“Yeah, right,” Guk-jong countered. Sure, he’s not as big as Luyoun, but he had so sizable muscles himself. The idea of losing to a girl like was probably a huge blow to his ego. Anyways, at Guk-jong’s response, Jang-chun cackled. And so did Luyoung.
“I didn’t want to say anything because it was embarrassing. But she got pretty quickly. Luyoung as well. I know it’s hard to believe. Believe , I don’t want to myself. But it’s true,” Jang-chun said with a scoff. Next to him, Luyoung nodded, confirming the story. Guk-jong turned to stare at as if to ask whether what they just said is true.
“How many tis do I have to tell you it’s true?”
Maybe now he’ll listen. I wonder how many more tis I’ll have to tell him before it sinks in. Guk-jong can be incredibly annoying sotis. Just then, the five Chinese mbers suddenly ran up at incredible speed, but I wasn’t shocked. It was expected of them. But just then, Guk-jong suddenly stood in front of .
“Sian!” he shouted. “Run!”
I’m sure Guk-jong thought he was being noble, but to , he was just in my way. I found him so botherso that I grabbed him by the back of his head, picked him up, and threw him out of the way.
Whoosh!
“Ah!”
Crash.
Tumble tumble tumble…
And so, Guk-jong started rolling down the stairs. The Chinese team just stared in shock.
“Hello?” I said, taking a step forward. They all took a step back. I sped up.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Rip!
I got Luwein’s na tag first. Then, I got Yisung’s. With a spin, I landed next to Jang-chun and ripped his na tag as well. Just then, Luyoung bent forward and slamd his shoulder into my hips and lifted ! In response, I reached down and ripped the natag on his back.
Rip!
Idiot. Did he think this was a wrestling match? Anyways, that’s how I got four natags. Now, it was just Sullin left.
“Hey, Sullin,” I said with a wave. With a scream, Sullin began to run.
“Kyaah!”
Unfortunately, it was no use. I had already grabbed her by the arm and was pulling her into mine.
Squish~
I felt Sullin’s chest press against mine.
‘Wow…’
This wasn’t my goal, I swear, but…wow, Sullin is curvier than I thought. Anyways, as I hugged Sullin, I reached down and grabbed the natag on her hip.
Rip!
And with that, all five of the Chinese mbers were out. The only person still standing was the VJ filming this whole thing. The VJ continued to stare at in shock as the announcent ca on.
[Luwein is out. Luwein is out. You may return after five minutes.]
[Yisung is out. Yisung is out. You may return after five minutes.]
[Jang-chun is out. Jang-chun is out.]
[Luyoung is out. Luyoung is out.]
[Sullin is out. Sullin is out.]
***
Once Luwein and Yisung were back in the ga, I chased after them and got their other na tags, getting them out and winning the ga. Afterward, my popularity soared again, as did the conspiracy theory of being an alien. Anyways, we finished all the missions, and right now, it was nightti. Filming was over and it was ti to say our goodbye’s.
“Nice job, everyone,” I said. Just then, Guk-jong approached .
“Sian!”
“Yes?”
“Wouldn’t you co to my gym?”
“Nope.”
“You want to?”
“Nope.”
“Oh,” Guk-jong said, looking disappointed.
“It’s just,” he added, “I thought it’d be nice to work out together.” He gave my body a quick scan.
“I don’t,” I answered with a smile. I was going to give him one more second to move his eyes. He was currently stealing glances at my chest, and it was irritating.
“Oh, okay. But stop by anyway. I’d love to see how you work out,” Guk-jong said eagerly. Then again, when I was losing weight, I spent a lot of ti at the gym. Exercise is incredibly important when you’re trying to burn fat.
“Okay, I will,” I lied.
“Thanks!” Guk-jong said sincerely. I turned and headed towards the van. I saw Hak-gyu standing next to it having a conversation with Jang-chun.
“Huh?”
What the hell is Jang-chun doing? I called out to Hak-gyu.
“Hey, Ha- Manager Lee!”
I need to stop treating Hak-gyu in such a familiar way. Then again, technically, he and I are the sa age. So can you bla ?
“Hey, Sian.”
“What’s up?” I said, staring at Jang-chun. A smile spread across Jang-chun’s face. I almost reached out to rip it off his face but I refrained.
“Jang-chun says he wants to have dinner with you.”
“Dinner?”
I continued to look at Jang-chun. He mid eating with a spoon. I held up my middle finger to him.
“Wha…” Jang-chun’s jaw dropped, looking offended. “That’s a joke, right?”
“No,” I said, still holding out my middle finger. Jang-chun sputtered.
“Are you still scared of ?” he demanded.
“Scared?”
“Yeah,” Jang-chun answered. He continued. “I know you’re just doing this because you’re intimidated that I’m the top star and really handso. No need to lie.”
‘Wow. This guy,’ I thought, but I continued to listen as he kept spewing nonsense.
“You know, I’m just an average guy. I’m not that different from other people. I just happen to be famous and really handso. There’s no need to be intimidated by .”
With that, he stuck his hand out to . You know, his Korean is really good.
“Take my hand and let’s go get dinner. I’ll treat you to sothing luxurious.”
At those words, I began to think about whether I should go. Yeah, right. Why would I think about that? Hate to say it but I had no plans to go with him. I was simply thinking about how I could curse him out.
“Hmmm…”
At the sight of thinking, Jang-chun looked expectant. Then, I answered.
“I don’t want to,” I said politely. Yeah. I shouldn’t curse. It’s a bad habit.
“What do you an? Let’s just go eat,” Jang-chun said.
“I said no,” I spat out. And then…
“I said I’m buying. It’s my treat so let’s go. You don’t have to be so intimidated by my good looks.”
“Ugh, you fucktard, I said no.”
I grabbed Jang-chun by the collar and Jang-chun looked shocked, but it was nothing compared to how Hak-gyu looked.
“Sian, what are you doing?!”
Hak-gyu imdiately pulled off with my fists clenched. I was this close to hitting the guy. God, he was annoying.
“Wow…were you just about to hit ?”
“Yeah, I was,” I said. I went for another attempt, but Hak-gyu blocked again. Jang-chun shook his head, muttering under his breath.
“Wow…this really is the first.”
“And you got lucky. Let’s go, Manager Lee,” I said. With a final breath to calm myself down, I climbed into the van, but Hak-gyu did not. I looked outside to see what was going on, only to find Hak-gyu bowing to Jang-chun in apology. But then, I saw sothing even more shocking when Jang-chun reached out to hit Hak-gyu on the back of his head!
“What the hell?”
I opened the door and climbed out of the van. Both Jang-chun and Hak-gyu turned to look at at the sa ti. Jang-chun looked furious, as did Hak-gyu. He clearly felt he had no choice in the matter. Even if Hak-gyu fought back, he can’t win. This made even more furious. Just then, Jang-chun smirked.
“This really is the first. I’m not one to be rejected and take an attitude like that from just anyone.”
“Then I’ll make you into soone who will.”
I stomped forward, but Hak-gyu blocked again. He leaned forward to whisper in my ear.
“Sian…I got a call from Mr. Park earlier and he asked to beg you to not get into a fight with Jang-chun…We’re trying to expand into China and there’s a lot of investnts hanging on this. So just let it go…”
“Let it go?”
This man still doesn’t know .
“Yes, just take it easy. We need Jang-chun’s agency to help us with the Chinese expansion…”
“Yeah?”
“Yeah.”
“Fine, then.”
“That’s good. Uh…huh, Sian…Sian…? No!”
Hak-gyu tried to block again, but it was too late. My fist had already made contact with Jang-chun’s face.
“Pow!”
“Ah!”
And with that, Jang-chun was out.
I know Hak-gyu told to take it easy, so I did. I went very easy on Jang-chun. I never said I wouldn’t hit the guy.
“Ugh, I can’t believe he’s already out.”
I grabbed Jang-chun by the tongue and his eyes imdiately burst open. I made him stand up only to knock him out again.
Pow! Wham! Pow! Pow!
With that, I imdiately felt thirty years younger.
