Chapter 50

"Blood donation?" Park Ji-hoon was taken aback.

During their chat, Seohyun suddenly proposed a couple's "22nd day" celebration—whether the little one had seen it somewhere or heard about it, he left the decision to Seohyun, but he never expected that this little one would actually suggest going to donate blood!

If she wants to go, then let's go.

The two of them found a "Blood Donation House" nearby.

"Ah! Yoo Ri-ssi!" Seohyun suddenly turned to look at Park Ji-hoon and called out when she saw the photo on the promotional board outside the door.

"Oh, hehe..." Park Ji-hoon was taken aback for a moment before he managed to laugh.

What does she mean by this?

All the way until the blood donation was over and they went to watch a movie together, he was still pondering this question. This little one's thoughts were really hard to grasp! How would normal couples go to donate blood on their 22nd day anniversary? Watching a movie was actually suggested by Park Ji-hoon himself.

After that, at the suggestion of the production team, the two of them went to open a "couple's savings account" together.

In the evening, they went to see their new house and discussed the renovation plan—the previous tenant had already moved out.

At this point, the two of them finally began to have some conflicts.

"I can't cook," Park Ji-hoon said, looking at Seohyun after entering the empty room and seeing the small kitchen.

"Ah—" Seohyun let out a sigh, her face showing a look of difficulty. She wasn't good at cooking either.

The previously good atmosphere suddenly became a bit stiff, and neither of them spoke as they looked around the room.

"It's okay, you can learn!" After a moment, Seohyun suddenly thought of something, her eyes brightening as she turned to Park Ji-hoon.

"Can't you cook for me? I'll do the dishes," Park Ji-hoon said.

"Ah—" Seohyun let out another sigh, finally nodding reluctantly after looking at Park Ji-hoon. "Okay!" At least, Park Ji-hoon wasn't "eating for free." The married life she imagined was one where household chores were shared equally. She still didn't know what love was, so naturally, her imagination of married life was based on her own personality.

However, this was just the beginning.

When they discussed the room renovation plan, Park Ji-hoon completely let Seohyun take the lead, which finally eased the tension. But as soon as they had some free time, the conflict arose again.

Seohyun was a singer, and Park Ji-hoon was an actor, so they didn't have many common topics. After discussing the renovation plan, Seohyun suddenly asked Park Ji-hoon to dance to Girls' Generation's "Oh" for her.

"Why?" Park Ji-hoon asked, unable to help but laugh and cry at the same time. Why would she suddenly think of this?

"Because I promised to cook!" Seohyun answered logically, looking at him.

Park Ji-hoon's mouth twitched, suddenly remembering what Yoo Ri had said before—that she had borrowed 1920 won from this little one in middle school and forgotten to return it, and this little one still remembered it clearly! This number was even mentioned by the little one on the show.

Lifting his head, he saw a pair of bright eyes staring at him without blinking.

"I can't dance," he explained, his voice a bit dry.

"It's okay, I'll teach you, oppa!" Seohyun stood up immediately and said.

"Can I not learn?" Park Ji-hoon asked weakly. He had never learned to dance, and it was a dance for girls, which was really burdensome!

"It's easy to learn! Just follow me, oppa." Seohyun seemed to be possessed by a teacher, earnestly persuading him.

"But I'm not very smart," Park Ji-hoon said, trying to avoid it by belittling himself. Unfortunately, he met Seohyun.

"It's okay, it's easy to learn," Seohyun continued.

Park Ji-hoon finally got up reluctantly.

"First, watch me demonstrate," Seohyun became completely serious, making Park Ji-hoon stand to the side and finding the song on her phone.

"Yes," Park Ji-hoon responded listlessly.

"Like this, lift your leg from the side, and move your hips together..." Seohyun demonstrated and explained.

"Mm-hm," Park Ji-hoon nodded continuously.

However, when Seohyun asked him to dance together, she found that he was all over the place and hadn't learned at all.

After teaching him twice, Seohyun couldn't help but get angry.

"I really don't know how to dance," Park Ji-hoon defended himself. Most Korean boys and girls knew some dance moves, but he was different. He had never had the time or energy to pay attention to other things and had no interest in dancing. Moreover, he had some unpleasant memories about dancing.

"As long as you learn seriously, you can learn it!" Seohyun wasn't so easily swayed, crossing her arms, a habit when she was angry.

"Let's learn something else, something that doesn't involve jumping around," Park Ji-hoon said softly after a moment of silence, gently touching her shoulder.

"Something else?" Seohyun looked at him.

Park Ji-hoon nodded, with an expression that said he would definitely learn this time.

"Mm-hm—" Seohyun pursed her lips, pondering for a moment before her eyes brightened. "Let's learn an instrument!"

"Uh!" Park Ji-hoon was taken aback, suddenly feeling like he was digging his own grave. He thought Seohyun would say they should learn to sing.

"Guitar! The sisters often say that guys who play guitar are very handsome," Seohyun said, her eyes brightening again after a moment of thought. "Let's learn together and see who learns it first!" She clapped her hands, as if she had come up with a brilliant idea.

Park Ji-hoon felt his strength gradually draining from his body. He was an actor, and she was a singer. She actually wanted to compete with him in learning the guitar. Wasn't this bullying him?

"It's settled then!" Seohyun said, seeing that he didn't object. "Next time, we'll go buy a guitar together."

"Okay," Park Ji-hoon responded reluctantly, then thought, who would he learn to play the guitar from? Should he just study from books on his own? But he had already agreed, and he couldn't go back on his word, especially to Seohyun!

"Promise!" Seohyun made a pinky promise with him.

The shooting for the day was over.

"Oppa, please say hello to Min-ah for me," Seohyun said as they said goodbye.

"Mm-hm," Park Ji-hoon nodded.

After saying goodbye, he called O Da-hee's mobile number on his way to the set.

"Ji-hoon," O Da-hee answered the phone quickly.

"Da-hee-ssi, how are you doing recently?" Park Ji-hoon greeted.

"Not great," O Da-hee said with low spirits. There was no need to hide anything from Park Ji-hoon. The singer he was managing hadn't had a smooth debut and had always been lukewarm in popularity, so he wasn't very busy.

"She's still very talented," Park Ji-hoon said.

"Ji-hoon, isn't your talent even greater? In the entertainment industry, the first factor for success is never talent," O Da-hee said. "By the way, why did Ji-hoon call me?"

"Is the junior you're managing now called IU?" Park Ji-hoon asked.

"Mm-hm, her real name is Lee Ji-eun," O Da-hee said, a bit puzzled.

"I'm filming 'We Got Married,' and my wife suddenly asked me to learn the guitar," Park Ji-hoon explained. "I don't really know anyone who plays the guitar, so I wanted to ask IU for help. I remember she plays the guitar very well, right?"

"I'll talk to Ji-eun. If she agrees, I'll have her call you back," O Da-hee said.

"Thank you, Da-hee-ssi," Park Ji-hoon said.

"You..." O Da-hee wanted to say something but ultimately didn't. He shook his head, thinking about his relationship with Girls' Generation's Taeyeon, S.M. Entertainment, and Seohyun, and felt a headache on his behalf!

Park Ji-hoon thanked him again and hung up.

IU, whose real name is Lee Ji-eun, was born in 1993 and entered LOEN Entertainment as a trainee in October 2007, making her debut in September 2008. However, her debut was not smooth and could even be considered a complete failure! It wasn't until 2009, when she changed her style, that she started to see some improvement. But she was still far from success.

At that moment, she was practicing songs for her new album when she suddenly saw her manager, O Da-hee, walk in. She quickly bowed and greeted him, "Oppa, hello!" She wasn't very familiar with her manager yet.

"Mm-hm," O Da-hee nodded and asked, "How's the practice going?"

"Okay," IU answered, somewhat reserved.

"I have a favor to ask," O Da-hee said after organizing his words. "Of course, it's up to you whether you agree or not."

"What is it?" IU asked, a bit worried. Despite her young age, she always had a worried expression due to the setbacks she faced after her debut.

"Here's the thing, the actor I used to manage, Park Ji-hoon, who is now on 'We Got Married,' do you know him?" O Da-hee said.

IU nodded. Although Park Ji-hoon wasn't a top-tier star, he was still the company's "number one" and had a lot of seniority. Every trainee had to know him when they joined the company.

"Because of the show, he needs to learn the guitar. But he's an actor and doesn't know many singers, so he asked me to ask you for help. What do you think?" O Da-hee said.

IU hesitated.

"It won't take up too much of your time," O Da-hee said. "He's filming a movie and appearing on a show, so he has very little free time. And I'm sure you know his character."

The last sentence moved IU. Park Ji-hoon had a very good reputation in the company and was very caring towards his juniors.

"I'll give you his phone number. If you agree, call him to discuss. If you don't agree, just delete it," O Da-hee said. "I won't interfere with your decision."

After leaving Park Ji-hoon's phone number, he turned and left.

After hesitating for a moment, IU finally dialed the number.

"Hello, is this IU?" A clear, magnetic male voice sounded.

"Yes, senior, hello," IU said respectfully.

"Da-hee-ssi has already told you, right?" Park Ji-hoon asked.

"Yes," IU responded, then said, "I'm honored to be able to help senior."

"Don't be so formal, I should be the one thanking you," Park Ji-hoon said. "After we buy the guitar tomorrow, we can discuss the schedule." After all, she was a junior in the same company, so they weren't that distant.

The matter was settled this way.
