Chapter 73

"Let's play some small games inside this afternoon," Yoon Hyun said.

"What kind of games?" Hyeon Jeong could tell that Yoon Hyun really didn't want to go out, and the PD beside him had clearly already given up.

"I brought a little thing..." As he spoke, Yoon Hyun took a small toy out of his bag. "You've played this before, right? We take turns to insert the little swords, and whoever makes the little figure pop out loses."

"…Isn't that just Uncle Bucket? I've played it before." Hyeon Jeong felt a large drop of sweat on her forehead.

"Then let's play… Truth or Dare, where the loser has to…"

"Hey! I know more games than you!" Hyeon Jeong directly interrupted Yoon Hyun's explanation, "Come on, let's play rock-paper-scissors to decide who goes first!"

"…" From Hyeon Jeong's eyes, Yoon Hyun could read a strong desire to win.

When Hyeon Jeong was jumping around excitedly after winning the rock-paper-scissors, Yoon Hyun began to seriously doubt whether suggesting this game was a bit rash…

However, this doubt quickly dissipated because luck seemed to be on Yoon Hyun's side.

Hyeon Jeong's first insertion of the sword made the little figure pop out…

"Hey! What's this supposed to be!" Hyeon Jeong was frustrated.

"Luck, luck!" Yoon Hyun clapped his hands and laughed. "So, truth or dare?"

"Truth," Hyeon Jeong said after a moment's thought.

"Are you sure?"

"Sure!"

"Alright, truth: Were you really angry with me last time?"

"Really." Hyeon Jeong nodded firmly.

"Okay, I…" Yoon Hyun wanted to explain a bit more.

"Come on! Next round!" Hyeon Jeong had already pushed the little figure back in and was ready to play rock-paper-scissors again.

…

It wasn't clear whether it was really bad luck or something else.

In the next hour, Hyeon Jeong managed to lose every single round…

Later, Yoon Hyun felt a bit embarrassed. "Why don't we try a different game?"

"No! I don't believe it!" Hyeon Jeong looked like a gambler who had lost everything.

…

But this game was one that Yoon Hyun couldn't let her win even if he wanted to.

Finally, after another hour, Yoon Hyun successfully lost a round.

"Yeah!" Hyeon Jeong jumped up from her listless position on the floor.

Yoon Hyun's heart skipped a beat from the shock…

"Truth or dare!" Hyeon Jeong didn't sit down but clapped her hands and shouted.

"…Truth…" As soon as Yoon Hyun spoke, he noticed Hyeon Jeong's fierce gaze. "Or dare?"

"Less talk! Hurry up."

"Dare." Yoon Hyun thought it was better to go along with Hyeon Jeong's wishes. Who knew what grudges she had built up from losing for so long…

"Are you sure?" Hyeon Jeong's face lit up, and she didn't give Yoon Hyun a chance to back out. "The dare is to finish recording the song we didn't complete last time with me!"

Yoon Hyun was speechless for a moment.

"Come on, let the staff bring the equipment!" Hyeon Jeong had a bossy air…

"Jeong, why do you have such a grudge against this song? Why don't we go to a recording studio?" Yoon Hyun realized that from the moment they arrived, Hyeon Jeong had been trying hard to win the game, apparently to win a wish…

"No. You don't know how much of a joke I became in T-ara after the last recording." Hyeon Jeong's pent-up frustration finally burst out: "So many people are covering it online, and the results are better than the recording I did in the studio. I feel so wronged!"

"Hey, I was using the standards of a professional singer to judge you… Why are you so serious about the comments from people who don't know the truth?" Yoon Hyun scratched his head. "Besides, why do you care so much about those covers? They don't even have the full song… Besides, I was just trying to have some fun…"

"But what you said seriously damaged my personal and T-ara's reputation! So today I have to win back that reputation." Hyeon Jeong looked confident.

"Aren't you busy with the new album? Do you have time to practice this song?" Looking at Hyeon Jeong, Yoon Hyun suddenly felt a bit confused and his face turned red.

This sudden change was naturally captured by the cameraman.

Then Yoon Hyun's moment of distraction turned into speechlessness. "Why are you preparing a computer and a mixing board?"

"What if you need to re-arrange the song on the spot?" The PD said unscrupulously. "Besides, we don't have the backing track for your song, so we had to bring these things. The mixing board is heavy! You didn't even say thank you for carrying it all the way here…"

So, the helpless Yoon Hyun had to write the song on the computer again.

"By the way, you haven't said what the song is called yet," Hyeon Jeong suddenly said.

"Written for someone, let's call it 'Someone'." Yoon Hyun had never really thought about the song's title. His initial reaction was something like "My You, Your Me," but he immediately thought it was too sappy…

"Let's just call it 'Some,' no 'One' needed." Hyeon Jeong said.

"Whatever the princess says!" Yoon Hyun didn't really care. "Some is good, and it seems to fit the lyrics better… It's something, but it's also nothing, some… Hmm… Thinking about it, the princess is really a genius!"

"General, have you noticed something?" Hyeon Jeong ignored Yoon Hyun's flattery and suddenly asked, "Your songs with English titles always become very popular."

"Oh? Is that so? 'Beijing, Beijing' is also pretty good!" Yoon Hyun said, but upon reflection, it seemed that from 'Baby' onwards, this was indeed the case.

"I just mean that the songs with English titles that you wrote for OPPA are very popular, not that the Korean or other songs you wrote aren't. Every song the General writes is beautiful." Hyeon Jeong spoke with genuine sincerity.

The accompaniment started, and Yoon Hyun and Hyeon Jeong began to sing in front of the camera.

"Jeong, you sang really well!" After the song, Yoon Hyun immediately praised her.

"Did you see the power of this princess?" Hyeon Jeong gave Yoon Hyun a proud glance.

"Hey, Jeong, why don't you come to my studio and we can record this song together?"

"What for, do you want to include it in your album? You go talk to our manager." Hyeon Jeong continued to act proud.

"Um, forget it, if we include this song, I'll have to shoot another MV…" Yoon Hyun seemed to remember something and said.

"General, what do you mean by that?" Hyeon Jeong, who was just being proud to make Yoon Hyun beg and satisfy her vanity, suddenly became agitated.

"Does the princess agree to me shooting the MV with others?"

"Hey! OPPA!"

"So…"

"I'll find the time!"

"Then it's settled!" Yoon Hyun knew when to stop…

With her wish fulfilled, Hyeon Jeong relaxed, and her childlike side came out.

So, at her request, Yoon Hyun had to accompany her in a snowball fight in front of the house. For the sake of the broadcast, Yoon Hyun wasn't really unwilling. After all, a snowball fight isn't very tiring.

Of course, the romantic scenes Yoon Hyun had imagined, like "OPPA!" and "Come catch me!" didn't happen. The otaku's fantasies… shattered.

Hyeon Jeong, who had lost miserably in the Uncle Bucket game, clearly didn't play a gentle snowball fight with Yoon Hyun.

They entered hard mode…

However, Yoon Hyun didn't dare to take it too seriously. After the game, he had found the best way to deal with Hyeon Jeong's challenges: win first, then lose. But this was tough on his clothes… The fierce snowball battle continued until it was completely dark.

"How are we going to solve dinner, OPPA?" Hyeon Jeong, who had had her fill of fun and was exhausted, asked as she plopped down in the house.

"How should I know!" Yoon Hyun, who was almost soaked through and shivering, had no energy to think about dinner. He grabbed his backpack and rushed into the bathroom…

When Yoon Hyun came out of the bathroom in dry clothes, Hyeon Jeong was already asleep on the floor, leaning against a pile of bedding.

Yoon Hyun looked at his watch; it was just past ten…

But after some hesitation, Yoon Hyun decided not to wake Hyeon Jeong for the moment.

Yoon Hyun quietly pulled his suitcase into the small kitchen and whispered to the cameraman behind him, "Be quiet, if you wake up Jeong, I'll make you suffer tomorrow…"

The cameraman was sweating; they had already been pushed to their limits that afternoon…

Yoon Hyun quietly took out the prepared ingredients from his suitcase and whispered to the camera, "Tomorrow is Jeong's birthday. I originally planned to do this later, but now there's only an hour left, so I want to wake her up with seaweed soup…"

Then Yoon Hyun started his work in the kitchen.

Korean-style seaweed soup is simple yet complex, requiring patience to repeatedly add ingredients to the pot and wait.

To avoid making any noise that might wake Hyeon Jeong, Yoon Hyun stayed in the kitchen. He also didn't allow the cameraman who followed him into the kitchen to leave…

"Shall we do an interview?" The bored cameraman suggested.

"Sure, if you keep it quiet." Yoon Hyun was also a bit bored.

"How did Yoon Hyun xi think Jeong xi sang today?"

"Very well! Her pitch, breath control, and emotion were all impeccable." Yoon Hyun quickly gave a thumbs up to the camera.

"The song is very popular online now! Many people are covering it."

"Thank you for your support. The song will be included in my new album!" Yoon Hyun took the opportunity to promote it.

"Yoon Hyun xi, you've known Jeong xi for two months now. What do you think of her?"

"This question…" Yoon Hyun felt a bit cold, "I've known Jeong for three years. But even though we know each other, I haven't really understood her. It was only today that I realized she can be so coquettish…"

"Anything else? What you've learned about Jeong xi through 'We Got Married.'"

"Anything else? I used to just see her as a buddy." Yoon Hyun thought for a moment, "Today, on the way here, I saw her sleeping for the first time, and she looked quite cute."

"Cute? Don't people usually say their wives are beautiful?"

"Hey! Don't pick on those words." Yoon Hyun reached out to cover the cameraman's mouth. It looked like Yoon Hyun had punched the cameraman in the face. "Does Jeong need you to say she's beautiful? I just don't want to say those sappy words!"

"But Yoon Hyun xi, don't you know that this is even more sappy?"

"Can't help it. It's like two guys who aren't very close but are still good friends, and one day he suddenly turns into a girl and has to marry you. Your first focus wouldn't be on whether she's beautiful, right? Have you seen Mulan? The American animated movie? Oh, right, it's actually a Chinese story, quite touching, let me tell you about it…"

"…"
