From that Korean city

When Park Hyo-min dressed up very sexy and went to Lin Yi-na's studio, her own dinosaur maknae happened to have an appointment with someone else in a coffee shop in Cheongdam-dong, Seoul.

It's just that she came earlier, and after sitting down for a while, the other party arrived late.

"I'm sorry, Jiyeon, there's a little traffic jam and I can't move at all."

As soon as the other party entered the coffee shop, he saw Park Ji-yeon, so he walked over a few steps quickly and said with a somewhat apologetic expression.

"It's okay. I just arrived not long ago, and there will be traffic jams at this time." Park Zhiyan didn't think it was important. She casually ignored the situation and asked, "Do you want something to drink, Shirley."

Tao Zi glanced at the bar over there and said, "Let's have an American cup."

The habit of living in Seoul made Park Ji-yeon subconsciously ask, "With ice?"

As a result, Taozi smiled and shook her head, "No, it's hot."

"It's very bitter." Park Zhiyan was a little surprised.

At the same time, he muttered, "oppa."

Seeing Pu Zhiyan's wildly thinking expression, Taozi smiled happily, no longer hesitated, and named today's topic, "Zhiyan, isn't it just for Oppa that you asked me to come here?"

Faced with these remarks, Park Ji-yeon pulled the scarf around her neck.

But the reason given by Taozi when asked made it impossible for Park Ji-yeon to refute, "There is no way, if Oppa knows that I drink iced Americano in this weather, he will definitely talk about it next time we meet, so For the sake of my ears, let’s forget it.”

Because the taste of hot and cold coffee is really different from heaven to earth.

However, Park Zhiyan called the waiter and ordered a cup of coffee for Taozi and herself, "Do you have any plans for the afternoon? If you are not in a hurry, drink something hot to warm your stomach first, and then we can talk."

Pulling the end of her hair, Park Zhiyan stirred the cup of coffee in front of her. She originally wanted to order an iced American, but after listening to Taozi's words, she also ordered a hot cup.

Although it is a bit bitter, I think of the other person and I can drink it even if it is bitter.

One lap, two laps, three laps.

"No, after the busy end of the year, there are only some stages and red carpets left, and the daily schedule is relatively small." Taozi replied.

It wasn't until their coffees were delivered to the table one after another that the conversation about someone officially started.

So, after Pu Zhiyan took the initiative to change the topic, Taozi didn't rush to ask further questions. Instead, she followed the other person's thoughts and chatted about her recent life and work.

In the circles of young people in Seoul, everyone prefers the latter. All they want is the refreshing caffeine, and few people are willing to drink the bitter and sour hot drink.

It seemed to be a little hot, so I simply took it off and put it on the chair next to me.

Park Ji-yeon listened to Taozi's words, lowered her head and laughed at herself, but she no longer hid her thoughts.

"What?" Taozi asked curiously.

Ice American style has bright acidity, refreshing taste in the throat, and it is easy to get a flavor after drinking it. And the human tongue will reduce the perception of bitterness and sweetness at low temperatures, so the taste will be more comfortable.

That's why Park Ji-yeon was a little more surprised when she heard Taozi say she wanted to drink hot.

Hot American style is mainly based on strong original flavor, with obvious mellowness and aroma. Although it will taste very soft and smooth, the bitterness and sourness will also be enhanced.

Generally speaking, good coffee beans made into hot American style can better show the flavor of coffee, especially the aroma. Some people prefer iced Americano because it tastes less bitter than hot Americano and is easier to tolerate.

She didn't ask which oppa Taozi was talking about, because she could already guess that it was some guy who caught the camera.

Nodding, "Yeah, I just want to ask Shirley some questions about Oppa."

After stirring for a few times, Park Ji-yeon finally regained her composure, raised her head and said, "Sulli, do you know that Oppa has something to do with Eun-jung Unnie?"

Yes, the topic Park Ji-yeon asked Taozi was not about others, but about her own Unnie.

Taozi was also a little surprised when she was asked, "What? Zhiyan, how could you think of asking me this? Eunjing and Oni are not familiar with me yet."

Indeed, before this year, Taozi had almost no interaction with Xian Eunjing. At most, it was a greeting when they met in the corridor on the singing stage. It seemed that they had not met a few times in variety shows.

On the contrary, I have met the Park Ji-yeon in front of me several times on variety shows, and I am a little familiar with her.

It wasn't until I met Lin Yi this year that I gradually interacted with Ham Eun Jung and Park Hyo Min and became familiar with them.

"Didn't you and Ernie go on a trip and have fun before?"

When she said the above, Park Ji-yeon looked a little regretful, "I was traveling with my friends at the time, and later I took my family out for fun. After I came back, I have been busy due to my personal schedule, and it was only recently that I had a little free time. time."

With this series of rhetoric, if the person in front of him was not Taozi, who knew the situation clearly, no one else would understand what Park Ji-yeon was saying.

Taozi, who understood the situation, suddenly realized, "Oh, I said that Jiyeon came to the studio when she had time before, but why was there no one behind me? On the contrary, Eunjung Unnie and Hyomin Unnie came more. So this is ah."

Then, she looked at Park Ji-yeon with a strange expression, "So Ji-yeon, you thought I was in Seoul all the time, so you asked me out. Do you want to ask me if I know about Oppa, Eun-jung, and Oni?"

In the end, Pu Zhiyan shook her head, "No, I know you have been busy in the second half of the year. But there is one thing you are better than me, that is, you are very familiar with Shaoxi, but I am not very familiar with Shaoxi."

In one sentence, Park Ji-yeon's true thoughts were expressed.

She knew that Taozi was also very busy and would not have much time to spend with Lin Yi in the second half of the year. But the other party's close friend Li Shaoxi was different. As the only employee of the studio, he must have met Lin Yi without looking up.

And as Li Shaoxi's best friend and bestie, Tao Zi knew some information about Lin Yi, and she would definitely know more about it than she did.

In addition, Taozi was present even when the few of them went on a trip last time.

Taozi, who knew Pu Zhiyan's thoughts, was silent for a while, frowning slightly, "Zhiyan, why do you want to know this?"

"Shirley, you also like oppa, right?"

Park Ji-yeon didn't answer Taozi, but went straight to the point and asked Taozi's key point to the point.

Taozi, who didn't expect to be questioned in return, smoothed her eyebrows, smiled, nodded unabashedly and said, "Yeah, I like it."

Then Park Ji-yeon also nodded, "Then I'm the same as you, I like it too."

The two girls looked at each other at this moment, and both saw the seriousness in each other's eyes.

Taking a slow and heavy breath, Tao Zi raised the cup and took a sip of coffee, using the bitter gratitude to wake up her brain, "So you guessed the situation between Eun Jing and Oni and Oppa, and then it was difficult to ask her, so you found her now. I?"

"No." Park Zhiyan shook her head, "I can see that the two of them are definitely not normal. This has become a fact. I just want an answer by asking, but it is not the main reason why I am looking for you this time. "

This time Taozi was a little confused, being distracted by Park Ji-yeon in front of her... she felt a little bit like her IQ was not enough.

Seeing Taozi's puzzled expression, Pu Zhiyan stopped beating around the bush and said, "I want to form an alliance with you, Shirley."

"Form an alliance?" Such a strange word made Taozi even more dumbfounded. "What kind of alliance? No, what does it mean?"

"It literally means, you like Oppa, and I like Oppa. But we are all a step too late, because Yoona and Eunjung, Unnie, have already been ahead of us. You should understand this. "

Park Ji-yeon's answer made Taozi nod, because that was indeed the case.

Then Park Ji-yeon continued, "In recent times, I have learned a word. That is, one person is short-term and two people are long-term. So if we want to catch up or even surpass Unnie and the others..."

When talking about the last part, Park Ji-yeon narrowed her domineering and delicate eyes with make-up, and shouted a slogan in a low voice, "Only win-win cooperation, coordinating information, seizing opportunities, and winning OPPA."

Opposite me, Taozi opened her lips wide at this time, seeming to be really shocked by the Park Ji-yeon in front of her.

She liked Lin Yi very much, to the bottom of her heart, but she was still a little resistant to Park Zhiyan's speech, which was like a pyramid scheme, "Zhiyan, if we use such behavior and means to plot against Oppa, it won't look like Is it very utilitarian?”

"This is not called utilitarianism, this is called purpose. It is not calculated, but calculated."

"I like Oppa very much, but currently I have lost the lead. In order to get back on the same starting line with Ernie and others, or even surpass them, I need to calculate some information to complete the goal. These are not utilitarian as you say, but a kind of means."

Don't think that Park Ji-yeon is carefree in front of the camera, but her IQ and EQ are not low at all.

"I personally think that there are good and bad means, and it is an emotional behavior in the middle. If I use it to achieve some immoral or illegal purposes, it is definitely not good. But if I use it for a legitimate purpose, If it works, it’s not a bad thing.”

"For example, in Initial D's Akina Mountain downhill race, the protagonist used the sewer running method to win the race after being overtaken. This is not a bad thing, it is just a high-level technique."

"We are too far behind Ernie and the others now. If we continue like this, let alone our chances, oppa will probably look at us differently in the future. I cannot accept this."

Park Zhiyan gritted her teeth, her expression a little anxious, but more worried.

"If everything happens, I tried my best, Oppa also saw my intention, and in the end he still chooses someone else, then I can accept that I lost, and I accept it."

"But nothing has started yet. If it ends like this, I will never accept it. So I want to try my best to win. What I want is to let Oppa see my existence again like running through the sewer. , and then compete with Ernie openly."

As mentioned above, even if she lost later, she was convinced.

Taozi, who finally saw clearly the purpose of being asked out this time, was also entangled at this time.

Because she saw Park Ji-yeon's passion for her oppa, so she felt the same way.

But Taozi's character is on the reserved side. She takes her liking to Lin Yi seriously, and then reflects it through some daily trivial matters and obedience. She prefers to please the other person in the hope of getting what she wants.

To put it bluntly, this is a kind of begging.

But Park Ji-yeon's character is different from Taozi's. Her character is more fiery.

Just like that time when she ran away from the group in Tokyo, she would take the initiative to get what she wanted, and she would do so in extremely drastic ways... Oh, just like this time.

It's a bit like the difference between hot coffee and iced coffee. The same ingredients have different tastes and textures.

After a while, Taozi looked at Park Zhiyan with twinkling eyes, "I understand what you are thinking, Zhiyan. It is indeed not the kind of calculation I said. Then why are you looking for me, Zhiyan?"

"As I said before, I need information. And information is what you lack the most, Shirley, because you are very familiar with Shaoxi, and you can get a lot of information through her mouth that I can't even touch. For example, Eun Jing Regarding Ernie’s situation, you should know the situation earlier than I do.”

Taozi nodded without denying it. She had indeed heard about it a long time ago.

Seeing this, Pu Zhiyan sighed with regret, "If I had known this, I would have had a good relationship with Shaoxi no matter what, instead of getting along with him like a normal friend."

Faced with Park Zhiyan's emotion, Taozi laughed secretly in her heart.

In her opinion, even if Park Ji-yeon took the initiative to have a relationship with Li Shaoxi, it would be difficult for the two of them to become like them.

After all, Park Ji-yeon was unable to talk to them under some special circumstances.

And this is why Taozi and Li Shaoxi can chat better and better, and their relationship becomes more and more intimate.

But this was not the time to express emotion. Taozi lowered his head and glanced at the coffee that was causing ripples due to the movement of the spoon. After thinking for a while, he finally asked the key point of whether the two could successfully form an alliance this time, "Then What can I get?"

"According to the idea of ​​our alliance, Shirley will provide you with information, and I will make a plan to take down Oppa. The opportunities during this period must be prioritized. I understand that information is king, so I can take the first opportunity Let me give it to you first.”

When Park Ji-yeon said this, she pursed her lips and said, "But the next chance I get, it will be my turn."

Taozi was a little moved by this answer.

But there is still one problem that she needs to figure out before she can agree to Park Ji-yeon's alliance.

"Jiyan, can I ask you a question."

"You ask."

"I know you like Oppa, because I do too. But you should know that there are many women around Oppa, so why are you willing to share Oppa with others when you know this?"

Tao Zi's question was very realistic, but Park Ji Yan showed a smile.

"There are many people drinking milk in the market, but there is only one person who can own a cow. I can't stop those people who drink milk, but I want to be the one who owns a cow."

Taozi smiled and extended her right hand, "Happy cooperation."

Park Ji-yeon also smiled and reached out to hold it, "Happy cooperation."
