Chapter 50

Of course, all that came later. In fact, after leaving the wedding of Liu Zaishi, he had only planned to drop Han Seungyeon off and be done with it. However, she made a proposal he couldn't refuse, "President Oppa, since we're all off today, would the girls and I be able to treat you to a meal?"

"I don't seem to know them. Why would they want to treat me to a meal?" Lee Seunglin wanted to go home early to take care of his son, and he wasn't sure if he could always be there for him in the future with the filming of Infinite Challenge.

"Regardless, President Oppa, you've helped us KARA gain some recognition, so..."

Since she put it that way, Lee Seunglin agreed. After all, it wasn't good to always owe others favors; it could affect interpersonal relationships...

Of course, he was also a bit curious about what kind of people Han Seungyeon's teammates were. After all, he and Seungyeon had a good relationship, and he wanted to know if her teammates were worth all the effort she put into the group!

The location was chosen to be a Korean BBQ restaurant near KARA's area. Upon arriving, Lee Seunglin felt a bit sentimental. Eating BBQ, good thing he didn't bring Huhu! At the same time, his impression of the four girls he hadn't met improved a bit.

Why? Because he knew a bit about KARA's financial situation. Looking at the decor of the BBQ restaurant, he knew it wasn't low-end. The girls were really going all out...

Pushing open the door to the private room, it was a refreshing sight. Seeing the young, vibrant girls was much more pleasant than seeing a bunch of old men...

"Hello, Oppa, we are KARA!" The girls, who had been sitting neatly, quickly bowed when they saw Lee Seunglin and Han Seungyeon enter. It seemed their relationship wasn't very close yet, which was normal given how recently they had met. Otherwise, the four girls would have been chattering away...

"I'm KARA's leader, Park Gyuri!" This girl is mixed-race, right?

"I'm KARA's Nicole!" Despite her strange accent, her smiling eyes were endearing...

"I'm KARA's new member, Goo Hara!" Are you sure you're Korean and not Japanese? Although Chinese, Japanese, and Koreans are all East Asians and may look similar to foreigners, there are still some differences...

"I'm KARA's maknae, Kang Jiyoung!" This is the fast-learner Seungyeon mentioned, right? Indeed, she's young, not at all shy, and even a bit curious...

"I'm KARA's main vocalist, Han Seungyeon!" Han Seungyeon suddenly bowed to Lee Seunglin, startling him. "Hey, girl, what's this about? Proving we're all in the same group, working together?"

Lee Seunglin was helpless. This was one thing he didn't like about Korea; sometimes it was too formal. He returned the bow, "Hello, I'm Lee Seunglin, Seungyeon's president!"

The girls' laughter was easily triggered. The other sisters didn't react much, but the maknae, Jiyoung, was laughing uncontrollably!

"Jiyoung!" Leader Park Gyuri stopped the misbehaving maknae with a glance.

Indeed, she was a leader with strong authority...

Then Park Gyuri bowed again, "I'm sorry, Jiyoung is still young and a bit impolite. Please forgive her!"

Lee Seunglin was speechless. Was this really necessary? "Gyuri, is it okay if I call you that? You all call me Oppa, so there's no need to be so formal!"

Doesn't Park Gyuri know that being too formal is a bit much? She does! But they had suffered a lot over the past year, and now that they finally had some hope, she had to be careful and not make any mistakes.

Park Gyuri used to be a bit narcissistic, but now she had to be more restrained. As the leader, even though Seungyeon was the same age as her, she couldn't let her bear all the burdens!

Eating with a few young girls should have been a pleasant experience, especially after the wedding where he couldn't enjoy the food. But seeing the reserved girls, Lee Seunglin was at a loss. He tried to liven up the atmosphere, but he wasn't Liu Zaishi, and the atmosphere didn't improve.

Only the familiar Han Seungyeon could talk a bit more, and the lively maknae Jiyoung could ask a few gossip questions. The other three... sigh, he knew they had been through a lot, but did they have to be so cautious? They were so young, yet so composed...

He had to ask a question to get a response, and it was always a formal one...

This meal was exhausting. Just then, his mother called, saying that his sister Chaelin was also off today, and the family hadn't eaten together in a long time, asking him to come home early. So, Lee Seunglin used this opportunity to leave early...

As soon as he left, the girls who had been holding back let loose, "Wow, I couldn't eat freely just now!"

"Hey, Unnie Nicole, that piece of meat was mine!" Goo Hara was upset!

"Nicole, Hara!" Seeing the leader's stern face, the two girls were confused. What did they do wrong?

Then, Park Gyuri elegantly picked up her chopsticks and, in a flash, put the largest piece of meat in her mouth, not even bothering to dip it in sauce, "It's so delicious!"

"Leader!" "Unnie Gyuri!" The two girls realized they had been tricked and started to gang up on her.

Seeing the three of them bickering, the maknae couldn't resist joining in, turning the three-way battle into a four-way one. Only Han Seungyeon didn't join in, but instead thought about the meeting between Lee Seunglin and the girls.

She knew it was a bit dull and wondered if President Oppa would have a bad impression of the girls...

Hmm? Why is my mouth so spicy? Then a wave of spiciness hit her, "Hara, you put so much wasabi in my bowl!!!"

It turned out that Goo Hara, seeing Han Seungyean deep in thought, had secretly put a piece of wasabi-covered meat in her bowl. "Why are you so distracted after someone leaves?"

Goo Hara wasn't afraid of the older sister who was the same age as the leader, as she usually took the best care of everyone. Of course, not being afraid didn't mean she didn't respect and love her...

"I'm not, I was thinking about Oppa Zaishi's wedding!"

"Oh, the groom must be someone special, right?"

"Of course, otherwise, why would I spend two hours getting ready early in the morning?"

"Hey, girls, you're going too far, I'm going to get angry!" Han Seungyeon put on a stern face to scare the younger girls, but... they weren't afraid... She had to ask the leader for help, "Unnie Gyuri, can't you control them?"

"They're telling the truth!" Han Seungyeon felt "betrayed"...

So, she had to fight alone. The five girls laughed and played together!
