Chapter 72

Just as the two were chatting, the boss brought their chicken soup and a large table of "small dishes" to the table.

"Wow! The boss gave us so much! How can we possibly feel comfortable about this?" While feeling a bit embarrassed, Yoon Hyun had already started eating with his chopsticks.

On the other hand, Seo Eun-jung politely bowed to the boss to express her gratitude before she started eating.

During the meal, a little girl holding a large sketchbook appeared next to Yoon Hyun.

"Yoon Hyun oppa!" the little girl called out, her voice a mix of nervousness and excitement.

Yoon Hyun knew this must be the boss's daughter. He quickly put down his chopsticks, wiped his mouth with a napkin, and gave the little girl what he thought was a handsome smile.

"Hey! Oppa, everyone has said that when you smile like that, you look really sleazy. Please don't smile like that," the little girl's nervousness was thrown out the window by Yoon Hyun's somewhat comical smile.

Hearing the little girl's comment, Seo Eun-jung almost spat out what she was chewing.

"I now confirm that you are my fan," Yoon Hyun, feeling a bit hurt, took the sketchbook from the little girl to sign it.

"Oppa, my name is Kim So-jung," the little girl introduced herself to Yoon Hyun and then turned her gaze to Seo Eun-jung.

"Hello, Kim So-jung!" Seo Eun-jung felt a bit uncomfortable under the girl's scrutinizing gaze.

"Hello, Eun-jung hyung!" Kim So-jung bowed to Seo Eun-jung. "Yoon Hyun oppa is a bit slow and lazy, so please take good care of him!"

"…I will," Seo Eun-jung was a bit at a loss with the girl's familiarity.

"Hey! I'm done signing! Don't bother me and Eun-jung while we're eating!" Yoon Hyun shoved the sketchbook into the little girl's hands, showing no respect or politeness that a normal idol would show to a fan.

"Yoon Hyun oppa, did you prepare a gift?" Kim So-jung, satisfied with the signed book, suddenly asked.

"Are you trying to drive me crazy? What do you think?" Yoon Hyun said impatiently, making frantic eye signals.

"Can't help it, who makes oppa so slow…."

"Hey, finish talking and get out quickly!"

"When will the album that oppa promised everyone be ready?" Kim So-jung asked her final question.

"The songs are done, and we're currently shooting the MVs. It should be released by the end of February next year," Yoon Hyun said honestly.

"The songs are done, but it won't be released until February next year?" The little girl pouted, unhappy.

"Hey! Save up your money! The new album will be expensive! Don't buy it if you can't afford it!" Yoon Hyun laughed. "12 MVs!"

"Wow! Really?" The little girl immediately got excited.

"This is a recording, how can I not keep my word? Be patient, I'll give you a surprise," Yoon Hyun smiled confidently.

With the inside information, Kim So-jung happily went to the forum to post and brag.

"Oppa, are you really going to shoot 12 MVs for your new album?" Seo Eun-jung asked, half-disbelieving.

"Actually, it's 11. One was already shot, and we decided not to reshoot it because we don't think we can do better," Yoon Hyun said seriously. "Even though that MV was shot like a joke."

"An old song? Which one?" Seo Eun-jung, seeing Yoon Hyun's regret and dissatisfaction, was curious.

"‘Gangnam Style.’”

"…" Seo Eun-jung grabbed a cushion and threw it at Yoon Hyun's face. A joke?

I want to play a joke too…

After a bit of laughter, the two finished their late lunch.

"Hey! I'm full! Shouldn't a new task come in now?" Yoon Hyun rubbed his belly and waved at the camera.

The cameraman saw a few points in his mind…

"If there's no task, we can move around freely!" Seeing that the production team wasn't providing any task guidance, Yoon Hyun stood up on his own.

"Oppa, shouldn't we find a place to stay first?" Seo Eun-jung reminded him.

"Are you sleepy again?"

"I think we should arrange our accommodation early, so we don't have to move our luggage when we're tired later…"

"You have a point…" Yoon Hyun nodded. "Let's play a game!"

"What kind of game?" Seo Eun-jung didn't follow Yoon Hyun's train of thought.

"Let's see who finds the place we're staying at first!" Yoon Hyun suggested.

"What happens to the loser?"

"The loser has to agree to one condition from the winner."

"Okay!" Seo Eun-jung immediately got excited, raised her hand, and did a high-five with Yoon Hyun.

"Why did you get so enthusiastic when you heard the bet?" Yoon Hyun was a bit confused.

"At least we should pay the bill first… Do we not have to pay after eating?" Seo Eun-jung looked at Yoon Hyun, who was already ready to leave, speechless.

"Hey, I'm full of competitive spirit now!" Yoon Hyun laughed.

"I won't lose to you!" Seo Eun-jung waved her fist.

While Yoon Hyun was still dealing with the bill with the production team, Seo Eun-jung, who had just learned from Yoon Hyun how to judge the next location from the staff, quickly ran out of the restaurant.

After paying the bill, Yoon Hyun went straight to find Kim So-jung.

"Yoon Hyun oppa, you'll get divorced if you do this!" The little girl was a bit at a loss when Yoon Hyun asked her to take him to the destination. "Can't you win in a more honorable way? Why do you have to be so sleazy?"

"Hey, So-jung, you've watched ‘Infinite Challenge’ for so many years. If I were a righteous person, I wouldn't have survived until today!" Yoon Hyun blamed all the dirty work on his unscrupulous teammates and PD Kim Tae-ho. "Now, oppa can only go down the path of using his brain in variety shows."

"Oppa, I think you should go out and look. I don't know either." Kim So-jung decided to refuse straightforwardly.

"What's the most famous thing in your hometown? Skiing? I saw the snow outside is beautiful."

"Yes! Not far down that road is a large ski resort."

"Are there many tourists during this period?"

"There are a lot of people. My family has been busy since last month."

"I looked it up, and there don't seem to be any big hotels here. Do the guests all come and go on the same day?"

"Up that mountain road, there's a cluster of rental houses for tourists who come to ski…" Kim So-jung realized she had given away too much information.

"Good girl! Oppa knows. Thank you!" Yoon Hyun left the house, leaving the little girl with a pained expression.

With clear direction, Yoon Hyun carried their luggage up the mountain and found a small wooden house that looked well-prepared. He rushed inside.

How well-prepared? There were two unmanned cameras standing in the snow outside…

After putting the luggage down and getting the stove warm, Seo Eun-jung finally found the place.

"Where did you go?" Yoon Hyun looked at the frozen Seo Eun-jung, a bit at a loss.

"I saw that road with a lot of people, so I followed it, but it led to a ski resort…" Seo Eun-jung looked like a defeated rooster.

"Oh, it's okay, don't be upset." Yoon Hyun smiled and let her into the warm house.

"You won." Although a bit disappointed, Seo Eun-jung admitted defeat straightforwardly.

"So you owe me a wish." Yoon Hyun smiled. "I'll ask for it when I remember, okay?"

"Okay!" Seo Eun-jung nodded and started to look around the small wooden house. There was a small kitchen for cooking, a bathroom, and a room that served as both a living room and a bedroom.

"Are we staying here today?" Seo Eun-jung's face didn't look too good.

"It's already much better than I expected. At least we're not sleeping in a tent," Yoon Hyun fiddled with the burning stove. "I even prepared for sleeping in a tent."

"Oppa, you're not serious…." Seo Eun-jung looked incredulous.

"Jung Dong and Seung Gi even slept in a house made of snow. This is already quite cozy, my princess." Yoon Hyun wouldn't mention the inhuman conditions of ‘2 Days 1 Night’ on MBC.

"Oppa, do you want to go out and play this afternoon?" Seo Eun-jung nodded, noticing there was nothing in the room, and suggested to Yoon Hyun.

"I drove for four hours and am a bit tired now. Let's go skiing tomorrow, okay?" Yoon Hyun ignored the PD's frantic gestures and said.

"Tomorrow?" Seo Eun-jung also saw the PD's wild gestures but didn't have the courage to challenge him like Yoon Hyun: "But I want to go now."

Yoon Hyun shuddered as if electrocuted and looked at Seo Eun-jung with a shocked expression.

"What's wrong?" Seo Eun-jung felt uncomfortable under his gaze.

"Eun-jung, you're actually being cute! My goodness! I've known you for over two years, and I didn't know you could be cute!" Yoon Hyun said in an extremely surprised tone.

The camera immediately gave Seo Eun-jung a close-up, and the post-production team didn't hesitate to use a few crosses on her head to show her anger.

Then, perhaps out of extreme anger, Seo Eun-jung decided to use a more aggressive method: she started singing a song from their new album, "BoPeepBoPeepBoPeepBoPeepAh…" and performed a cat-like waving dance, pouting her cheeks into a small round face…

If described in the language of otaku from his previous life, Yoon Hyun was now blushing from being overwhelmed by cuteness.

Seeing Yoon Hyun clearly in a brain-freeze state, Seo Eun-jung was very satisfied and waved her fist.
