Chapter 52

PS: Mom asked me to go on a blind date, I said I didn't want to go, and Mom said if I didn't go, I would have to leave immediately. With no choice, I had to agree to go. Then Mom said if it didn't work out, I could still leave. I was unhappy and asked, "What if the other party doesn't want to?" Mom said, "You still have to leave!" Comrades, this is fascism! Freedom belongs to the people!

After chatting with KARA for a while, Park Jiho went home. As for the dinner invitation, Park Jiho had agreed, but KARA didn't have time to eat now. The second album was about to be released, and they were all practicing intensely.

After Park Jiho left DSP, Lin Yun'e's call came in. Lin Yun'e sounded very happy on the phone. She told Park Jiho that she and Yoo Seung-ho were crying badly on TV, but what made Lin Yun'e unhappy was that they had blamed all the negative public opinion on that Zhou Shao, which made her very upset.

Park Jiho listened to Lin Yun'e's words calmly, still maintaining an attitude as if it had nothing to do with him. This made Lin Yun'e, who was initially excited, quite unhappy. She then 'hmmph'ed and said, "Just keep pretending!" and hung up the phone!

After the phone call was disconnected, the corners of Park Jiho's mouth slightly curled up. The scene from that night slowly appeared in Park Jiho's mind. Everything was indeed planned by Park Jiho, but he didn't expect it to turn into such a big event. Before entering that KTV, Park Jiho had found a public phone and called the Seoul police, claiming that there was someone selling drugs in that KTV. Normally, such anonymous calls wouldn't be taken seriously by the police.

But Park Jiho added that he had already notified the media, and many of them. This made the police speechless, and they immediately reported it. Even more surprisingly, the Seoul Special Forces were also investigating the drug issue at that KTV. In the end, Park Jiho's fake call turned out to be true.

Park Jiho's original plan was that if the guys who had Lin Yun'e were hard to deal with, and he couldn't get her out, he would use the police inspection to escape with her. However, after entering the KTV, he found that the ones who had Lin Yun'e were actually Nickhun and Yoo Seung-ho. After drinking a large glass of vodka, Park Jiho thought that if they let him take Lin Yun'e, he would let it go. But Nickhun blocked him, preventing him from leaving. So, Park Jiho quietly took a drug pill from a waiter's waist pocket and gave it to Nickhun.

The plan went surprisingly smoothly. Park Jiho, who thought he couldn't get out, found that Zhou Shao actually let him take Lin Yun'e away. This was great, and although it was a bit lucky, the police inspection didn't involve him and Lin Yun'e, allowing them to watch the show safely. Lin Yun'e was lucky to escape, otherwise the media would have caught her too. But the smoothness of that night allowed Lin Yun'e to escape first.

Actually, Park Jiho's plan had many flaws. If it had gone as planned, Lin Yun'e would have been caught by the media, and her reputation would have been severely affected. But due to the urgency of time, Park Jiho had to rush the plan. The basic guarantee was to ensure that Lin Yun'e wasn't harmed by the other party. Everything else was an unexpected result of the plan. The plan became a perfect, flawless one, thanks to the special favor of fate. For example, if Park Jiho hadn't met the waiter selling drugs, Nickhun wouldn't have been handcuffed and taken away.

When Park Jiho got home and went online, he saw Nickhun and Yoo Seung-ho's tearful performance at the press conference. Park Jiho felt like vomiting. He didn't expect that JYP would be so powerful, blaming all the dirt on the original Zhou Shao that Nickhun and Yoo Seung-ho had tried to curry favor with. And Zhou Shao silently took all the blame in silence.

However, despite this, Nickhun and Yoo Seung-ho were already on Park Jiho's mind. He wouldn't give them a chance. If he had the opportunity, Park Jiho wouldn't mind getting rid of these two beasts from the entertainment industry.

...........................................

Soon... as time passed, the matter with Nickhun and Yoo Seung-ho settled down. Although JYP did its best to guide public opinion and blame all the dirt on Zhou Guangke, unfortunately, the Korean people are not fools. The image of Nickhun and Yoo Seung-ho was severely damaged, and five commercial performances and two endorsements were canceled due to their image.

The number of anti-fans for Nickhun and Yoo Seung-ho increased from 210 to 10,254, almost at the speed of light. Therefore, due to the drug incident, Nickhun, Yoo Seung-ho, and the 2PM group collectively suffered a fatal blow. If it weren't for JYP's full rescue efforts, it was uncertain whether 2PM could continue.

On September 10, 2009, Park Jiho had already attended two days of classes in his third year at Seoul University. However, he only attended for two days. Then, he used the excuse of reviewing to stay home and continue writing the song "Cold Face" because Park Myung-soo said that the recording time for "Infinite Challenge" was approaching, which made Park Jiho have to speed up his writing.

Just as Park Jiho finished lunch and was about to take a nap, the doorbell rang. A bit surprised, Park Jiho opened the door with a hint of annoyance. When he opened the door, he saw Park Myung-soo, Jung Jun-ho, and Roh Hong-je standing outside. As soon as Jung Jun-ho saw Park Jiho, he immediately said pitifully, "Jiho, you have to save your brother!"

"Me too...!" Roh Hong-je also followed, saying pitifully.

Park Jiho was taken aback. What was going on? However, because of Park Myung-soo's introduction, Park Jiho knew these two, so he politely invited them into the house. After they entered and sat on the sofa, after listening to Jung Jun-ho's complaints, Park Jiho understood the reason. It turned out that Jung Jun-ho had lost nearly 200 million won in stocks, and Roh Hong-je had lost 80 million won out of the 200 million.

The reason for the Korean stock market's collapse was the significant devaluation of the Korean won. Before 2008, the exchange rate between the Korean won and the Chinese yuan was 130:1. But yesterday, the exchange rate dropped to a historical low, with 230 Korean won needed to exchange for 1 Chinese yuan.

This was undoubtedly a fatal blow to South Korea, and the Korean stock market also fell to the bottom due to the devaluation of the won.

"Jiho, what should I do? Please help me!" Jung Jun-ho, seeing that Park Jiho wasn't speaking, immediately grabbed Park Jiho's hand and pleaded sadly.

Not only Jung Jun-ho, but Roh Hong-je also immediately grabbed Park Jiho's hand and said, "Jiho, please help me. That's three-fifths of my family's assets. If I lose it all, I won't even know how to die!"

Their eyes were almost filled with tears. At this moment, Park Myung-soo also said, "Jiho, if you have a way, please help them once. They are really quite pitiful."

After Park Myung-soo's words, Park Jiho's brows furrowed!
