Chapter 71

It was ten minutes before the recording, and Kim Tae-ho was already prepared to go. Meanwhile, Park Ji-ho and the other three went to the restroom to wash their faces. Then, Park Ji-ho was accompanied by Yoo Jae-suk into Jung Jun-ho's dressing room to ease the awkward situation and to reassure TARA not to worry or be afraid!

Sure enough, when Park Ji-ho and the others entered Jung Jun-ho's dressing room, the six members of TARA were indeed quite startled. They all lowered their heads, not knowing what to think. According to the staff of "Infinite Challenge," it seemed that TARA's manager had already come to confirm the sequence of events and was so frightened that he was preparing to call the company for help. Fortunately, Kim Tae-ho, who came out first, saw this and told him not to worry, assuring him that Park Ji-ho's situation had nothing to do with TARA. Park Ji-ho was just not feeling well, not because of TARA. Kim Tae-ho also told TARA's manager that it was actually Park Ji-ho's idea to have TARA appear on "Infinite Challenge," and that Park Ji-ho and TARA got along well privately!

This prevented the TARA manager from calling the company for help!

Feeling the door to the dressing room open, the emotionally low TARA members all looked up. When they saw the great Yoo Jae-suk leading the way, the six of them immediately stood up and bowed 90 degrees to Yoo Jae-suk!

Looking at the bowing TARA, Yoo Jae-suk laughed first and said, "You were scared, right? Come and see who I brought!" He stepped aside, and Park Ji-ho, with his unique warm smile, walked out!

"OPPA!" All Boram was the first to call out worriedly! She then immediately walked up to Park Ji-ho and said, "OPPA, are you okay? I'm really sorry, we shouldn't have joked with you!"

Behind her, Lee Joo-ri quickly followed and said, "OPPA, I'm sorry, it's all our fault for not educating our younger sister. We made you angry, I'm really sorry!"

At this moment, Park Ji-ho suddenly burst into laughter, "Oh my, you're actually apologizing to me? No, no, I'm the one who should apologize!"

"You apologize?" The six TARA members were taken aback! Park Hyo-min blurted out, "You were so angry with Mr. Park, and you still want to apologize to us? You're really strange!"

"Park Hyo-min...! Shut up!" TARA's leader, Hwang Eun-jeong, immediately hissed softly!

Park Ji-ho chuckled, "You're overthinking it. I was so happy when Park Ji-yeon called me brother-in-law. This way, I can marry one of you, and with you all being so beautiful, it's a blessing for me!"

"Exactly... I called you brother-in-law, and you couldn't possibly be angry. Joo-ri is so beautiful, you should only be happy. Hmph... You all scolded the wrong person, I'm innocent!" Park Ji-yeon wrinkled her nose, clearly unhappy with the scolding from her sisters!

"Park Ji-yeon, stop talking. Do you want me to tell the CEO that you were naughty again when I get back?" Hwang Eun-jeong immediately glared at Park Ji-yeon. Hearing Hwang Eun-jeong, Park Ji-yeon had no choice but to close her mouth, as she was still afraid of Kim Kwang-soo.

Seeing Park Ji-yeon pout, Park Ji-ho laughed and walked up to her, "It really has nothing to do with Ji-yeon. I was happy when she called me brother-in-law. I fainted because I suddenly felt unwell, it has nothing to do with you all. So don't blame anyone, and I should apologize to you for scaring you. Hehe!"

He then lightly pinched Park Ji-yeon's cheek, "It was because Joo-ri called me brother-in-law. Keep calling me that! Were you really scared? I apologize to you! Will you forgive me?"

Park Ji-ho said "brother-in-law" twice, which made Lee Joo-ri's face turn red, while All Boram frowned slightly, looking a bit unhappy!

When Park Ji-ho touched her face, Park Ji-yeon felt a warm and comforting sensation, as if a very close person was touching her. She smiled at Park Ji-ho, "I wasn't scared at all. I knew you wouldn't be angry because I called you brother-in-law. When you reached out to me, I even wanted to grab your hand! But my sisters stopped me. I just felt you wouldn't be angry with me, and you never would be. But I can't call you brother-in-law anymore because the manager said it's not allowed. I can only call you OPPA from now on! Is that okay?" She then laughed cutely.

To TARA, it sounded like Park Ji-yeon was being playful and cute!

But to Yoo Jae-suk and the others, the impact was unprecedented. It was clear that the strong emotional bond between the siblings allowed the amnesiac Park Ji-yeon to still clearly remember the feeling of her OPPA. How could this not be shocking?

At this moment, Yoo Jae-suk, being the closest to Park Ji-ho, could clearly feel the slight but intense tremor in Park Ji-ho's hand as he touched Park Ji-yeon's face. If Park Ji-ho hadn't been suppressing it, Yoo Jae-suk believed Park Ji-ho's hand would have been shaking uncontrollably.

"Alright... From now on, I, Park Ji-ho, will be your OPPA. Anyone who tries to bully Park Ji-yeon, I will protect my sister Park Ji-yeon with my life," Park Ji-ho said firmly, word by word!

The serious expression made the other TARA members pause, and All Boram, a bit at a loss, asked, "OPPA... you...!"

However, before All Boram could finish her question, Yoo Jae-suk, fearing trouble, immediately said, "Wow... Congratulations, Ji-yeon, you have a good OPPA now. No one will dare to bully you anymore!"

Park Ji-yeon then happily said, "Really...? Then if our CEO scolds me, can you protect me too, OPPA?"

This made everyone in the room laugh. Park Ji-ho, though smiling, answered firmly, "Sure!"

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

The matter was finally resolved. Of course, TARA might still be a bit puzzled, but as long as Park Ji-ho didn't make any mistakes in the following time, the TARA members wouldn't have too many thoughts. Taking the somewhat agitated Park Ji-ho away, the indoor recording of "Infinite Challenge" officially began.

This time, the "Infinite Challenge" music festival consisted of seven groups. Yoo Jae-suk, in his opening remarks, joked that because the 2007 Gangnam North Road music festival was a personal competition among the "Infinite Challenge" hosts, the results were very poor. This time, they were forming professional teams, hoping for better results. Everyone laughed, and of course, each of these groups had a significant background!
