Chapter 48

When did this little guy get to know Park Min-ya? After exchanging glances, Yoon-a and the others could only wait for Seohyun to come back in the evening to celebrate for her.

At 6 PM, the sky had already darkened. It was gloomy, as if it was about to snow again, making the originally bustling streets gradually quiet down, and even the streetlights seemed not very bright.

Through the restaurant window, one could see a few withered trees swaying in the cold wind, their shadows elongated by the light, appearing somewhat desolate.

Suddenly, a delicate figure came out of the building, looked around, and then ran towards the restaurant.

In the bleak scenery, a sudden injection of vitality made it lively and vivid.

Seohyun's eyes lit up slightly, and she stood up, waving through the window.

The girl, as if sensing something, happened to look towards the window where Seohyun was, smiled slightly, and quickened her pace.

"Whoosh—" As the restaurant door was pushed open, a gust of cold wind swept in, making the waiters and the guests at the other table all look over.

Upon seeing the girl's figure, the slight dissatisfaction on everyone's face disappeared.

"Welcome!" Two male waiters greeted her simultaneously. What day is it today, for two beautiful girls to visit one after another?

The girl nodded with a smile and walked towards Seohyun.

"Miss Park Min-ya, nice to meet you." Unconsciously, Seohyun used formal and respectful language again.

"Sister Seohyun, nice to meet you, just call me Min-ya." Park Min-ya said affectionately yet politely.

At their first meeting, both of them sized each other up.

Park Min-ya was wearing a red down jacket, a white sweater, black jeans, and a pair of warm canvas shoes. Her hair was casually tied into a ponytail at the back, with a side part, and two strands of soft hair fell to her chin, giving off a casual and pure girl's aura.

In real life, she was even more beautiful than in photos, leaving a deep impression in many aspects: her upturned nose, her bold eyebrows, her clear eyes, and the two small canine teeth that showed when she smiled.

In Park Min-ya's eyes, Seohyun was more dignified than beautiful, especially the aura she exuded.

Very satisfied!

"Nice to meet you." After inviting Park Min-ya to sit down, Seohyun said formally.

"I'm also very happy to meet Sister Seohyun." Park Min-ya finally understood why Park Ji-hoon had warned her so much. The girl in front of her, the same age as herself, was as pure as crystal, making one want to take good care of her.

Unlike her shyness when meeting boys, Seohyun was very relaxed in front of Park Min-ya, with only a slight awkwardness due to Park Ji-hoon.

However, although Park Min-ya was a bit mischievous at home, she was different outside, never mentioning the fact that Park Ji-hoon and Seohyun were appearing on "We Got Married," which made her feel more at ease.

After the food was served, the two of them ate and chatted slowly, and no one could believe that they were meeting for the first time!

Seohyun really enjoyed chatting with Park Min-ya, as they had many common topics. What surprised and impressed her was that Park Min-ya knew a lot!

During the conversation, they talked about the book "No Matter What Life You Choose, I Will Cheer for You." She had read it several times seriously and even wrote a review, but she didn't bring it with her, as she didn't expect to meet Park Min-ya at this time.

However, the purpose of writing the book by Park Min-ya made her a bit disappointed.

To supplement the household income!

It was purely to supplement the household income that Park Min-ya wrote the book, and she didn't tell anyone—except Park Ji-hoon. Writing from the perspective of a mother was partly due to her own imagination and partly because the internet was so advanced that various knowledge was abundant, making it not difficult to assume such a role.

Although a bit disappointed, Seohyun had even more respect for her character.

The meal lasted for 40 minutes.

"Next time, I'll treat Sister Seohyun to a meal." As they were leaving, Park Min-ya said, "I'll cook myself."

"Min-ya can cook?" Seohyun asked in surprise.

"My cooking skills are pretty good!" Park Min-ya said with a light laugh, "Who usually cooks for you and the others in the dorm?"

"Rice cooker." Seohyun replied.

"Uh!" Park Min-ya's usually elegant expression suddenly changed dramatically. She barely managed to hold back her laughter. After a careful look, she confirmed that this little sister was not joking, and her expression became even more interesting.

What a simple character to give such an answer so naturally?

"Huh?" Seohyun looked at her expression strangely.

"Then it's settled!" Park Min-ya quickly said. After making the agreement with Seohyun, she watched her get into the car and leave, then laughed and returned to the apartment.

Suddenly, she was looking forward to the broadcast of "We Got Married"! Park Ji-hoon and such a simple little girl "marrying"—although the same age as Seohyun, Seohyun's simplicity always made people call her a "little girl"—what kind of situation would it be?

After leaving, Seohyun went to practice for the concert.

All eight sisters were there, and when they saw her, their expressions were a bit strange, but they didn't say anything. It was normal for her to be friends with Park Min-ya, but it felt a bit awkward because of Park Ji-hoon in between.

However, Taeyeon couldn't help feeling a bit sour. Park Ji-hoon seemed to really want to take a break from her. After her birthday, they hadn't met, and even text messages were rare. On Valentine's Day, they only talked about the Spring Festival. A few occasional words of concern always made her want to cry.

He didn't even get close to Seohyun!

She didn't know if he would show up on her birthday.

...

The next day, the news of "Park Min-ya, a loyal fan of Park Ji-hoon, meeting SNSD's Seohyun" was reported by several newspapers as expected.

The collision between SNSD and a "talented, once-in-a-decade" beautiful student was undoubtedly a hot topic! Especially with a man in the middle.

Although no one knew what Park Min-ya and Seohyun talked about, it didn't stop the reporters from using subtle writing to guide the readers to imagine.

The effect was even greater than expected! Various versions of rumors flooded the internet, making it hard to distinguish truth from fiction.

For a moment, Park Ji-hoon seemed to become the public enemy of men!

Park Min-ya didn't expect this situation. She didn't know that Park Ji-hoon had called Seohyun "Sister" in front of many people. The next day, she had to tell Park Ji-hoon about it with some helplessness.

"It's fine." Park Ji-hoon just smiled faintly. Having experienced the ups and downs of life, his mindset was good, and he treated these cold words as motivation. Getting angry would be like punishing himself for others' mistakes, which was not worth it.

No matter how stormy the outside world was, he only focused on his own world.

The incident with Taeyeon not only affected his view of love but also made him realize the essence of the entertainment industry.

Work hard, harder! One's own strength is the foundation of everything.

In the midst of day and night, February 27th arrived without notice.

The first episode of "We Got Married" featuring Park Ji-hoon and Seohyun aired, and at the same time, SNSD's concert was held at the Seoul Olympic Park Fencing Stadium.

The previous defamation of Park Ji-hoon also indirectly promoted this episode of "We Got Married."

The ratings were slightly higher than the previous episode.

Moreover, the audience's reaction was somewhat unexpected—not a lot of praise, but not as many negative comments as expected. Many viewers gave fair evaluations.

"Like siblings!"

"Park Ji-hoon seems too cautious, is it because of the pressure from SNSD's popularity?"

"Park Ji-hoon is really very considerate and caring towards Seohyun! This is the charm of a mature man, not putting any pressure on Seohyun, and Park Ji-hoon's physique and appearance are also excellent, much better than marrying an idol!"

"Is this really Park Ji-hoon? How has he changed so much? Did he take something?"

"Feels pretty good."

The audience of "We Got Married" was not mainly SNSD fans but ordinary viewers, and most comments were positive.

Some artists gain recognition through the quality of the show, some through their attitude, and those who have both are top-notch. Park Ji-hoon and Seohyun's first meeting didn't receive a lot of praise, but it was clear that both were very sincere, whether it was Seohyun's worry and tension or Park Ji-hoon's cautious and careful care. Therefore, they gained fair evaluations from the audience through their attitude.

Even some SNSD fans recognized Park Ji-hoon's "husband" role.

At the concert that night, a middle-aged male fan actually wore a Park Ji-hoon mask! This was also related to Seohyun's position in SNSD; if it were Yoon-a, she would never receive such treatment.

However, some fans who knew about Taeyeon and Park Ji-hoon's relationship were a bit restless. There had been doubts early on, but they were calmed by Taeyeon. Now, seeing the obvious stiffness in the atmosphere when Park Ji-hoon and Taeyeon met in the show, and connecting it with some previous rumors, the doubts resurfaced.

If they knew Park Ji-hoon's phone number, he would have received many threatening messages! It took a lot to finally recognize his relationship with Taeyeon, and he dared to betray her?

True fans could see the stiffness in the brief scene—beyond just awkwardness!

Since it was only a minority and not convenient to publicize, all this was overshadowed by the topic of Park Ji-hoon and Seohyun.

That night, Taeyeon secretly cried again.

[The 16th place on the chart is undoubtedly the most tragic. Just a little more, and it would be on the front page... A serious shout for recommendations!]
