Chapter 1300 Party
As soon as Jennie entered, she was spotted by Nayeon and Jisoo, who waved and smiled at her as she quickly walked over.
"Oh my god, it's so hot."
After sitting down, Jennie fanned herself, breathing slightly heavily, and complained about the weather outside.
However, even though they were talking about the weather, her casual action of taking off her bag and placing it on the table naturally attracted Lim Nayeon's attention.
Jisoo didn't know, but it was really hard for Nayeon not to focus on the bag.
Her gaze fell on the bag in front of her—a light brown bag with soft fur, and incredibly cute paw pads and an Eevee plushie…
She was very familiar with this bag; she had often heard people discussing it lately and saw it almost every day.
It's the Eevee paw pad bag from the GUCCI collaboration that's been all the rage in the fashion world lately.
Nayeon blinked gently. She knew Jennie had this bag; Jisoo had told her about it before.
She just didn't expect that she would see it the very first second she met it.
It just felt a little too direct.
Then, she turned her gaze to Jennie Kim in front of her.
As Jennie sat down, a rich fragrance wafted over her. She was dressed beautifully today, in a Chanel-inspired outfit perfect for summer—a classic ivory sleeveless tweed vest that perfectly showcased her slender arms, with gold and silver threads on the fabric shimmering brightly in the indoor light.
She paired it with a pair of light blue high-waisted denim shorts from LV, the frayed hem and just the right amount of rips adding a touch of playfulness and straightforwardness. She wasn't wearing socks either, opting instead for a pair of black Chanel two-tone slingback flats, revealing her fair ankles.
Add to that the fashionable padded bag in front of her, and the metal bracelet that jingles softly as she fans herself, saying with a grin, "The air conditioner saved my life," while her arm swings.
Oh right, and as she entered, she casually lifted up the sunglasses that were perched on her forehead... Jennie looked both beautiful and stylish. Her naturally sweet appearance suited this outfit perfectly, giving off an overwhelming sense of fashion that was very impactful.
I don't know what Kim Jisoo thinks, but that's how Lim Nayeon feels.
This feeling that surfaced in her mind made her feel slightly uneasy.
Although Twice has long since split its business, and Nayeon has earned some money in the year since her debut, to be honest, her clothing style, spending habits, and mindset haven't improved much. She hasn't yet moved towards the labels of 'fashion' and 'luxury goods' that many celebrities aspire to.
She had dressed up carefully before coming in and out, and she thought she looked pretty good today. She didn't think much of it when she saw Kim Jisoo earlier, but when she saw Kim Jennie, she instantly felt like she had fallen a level.
It's not a difference in appearance, but a difference in style, confidence, temperament, and even social class.
She felt that Jennie, with her big sunglasses, really looked like a celebrity, while she felt more like an ordinary person and a fan.
This made her feel a little uncomfortable... Girls are most sensitive about this, and who wants to be someone else's foil?
However, this thought only lingered in her mind, and of course she wouldn't show it. After a slight pause, she greeted him with a smile.
Jennie Kim didn't do it on purpose. She comes from a well-off family and has a high standard of living. This was just her normal attire.
"Sorry I'm late, unnie. I was having dinner with my mom and the editor from Vogue, and we chatted a little longer than usual..."
Jennie tossed her hair, revealing a shy and reserved smile. She apologized apologetically, then remembered something, picked up the paw pad bag she had just placed on the table, unzipped it, and began rummaging through it: "Oh right... Nayeon unnie, happy birthday!"
After rummaging through her bag for a while, Jennie took out a wrapped gift box and handed it to Nayeon.
"Guma wo yo~"
Lim Nayeon immediately grinned, showing her rabbit teeth, and happily accepted the gift.
It's a real surprise. For an idol to have a few close friends who remember your birthday and think of giving you gifts is a very happy thing for Lim Nayeon.
As for Jennie, I've known her since her trainee days, so I've gotten to know her pretty well over time. She's a bit of a princess, a bit selfish, and because she comes from a wealthy family, she can be a bit domineering at times. Well, she can also be a bit of a bit of a jerk... But putting all that aside, her personality is actually okay.
At least Lim Nayeon doesn't seem to have much aversion to her right now, and deep down she actually thinks she's living a very carefree life.
After the three of them got together, they had a cup of coffee and chatted for a while. Then they went shopping together, buying clothes, shoes, and small decorations. They visited all the brand stores in the vicinity.
During this time, Lim Nayeon was taught a lot about fashion and luxury goods by Kim Jennie, and heard her talk about many inside stories of the Peninsula fashion industry and brands.
Of course, I also learned that Jennie Kim has good relationships with many fashion magazines, her mother is a VIP at various places, she recently dined with many powerful figures in the fashion industry, and everyone thinks highly of her, and she is expected to secure collaborations with LV and Chanel...
These were all things that Nini casually mentioned while chatting with her while shopping, without really thinking.
Nini's smile was so sweet and innocent; she couldn't possibly be showing off, she was just casually explaining something to her...
Bullshit!
Of course, Lim Na-yeon knew that she was showing off... but the fields the other party mentioned, the names she mentioned, and even the rankings in English were all things that she had never heard of, had never been exposed to, or could not be exposed to at this time.
So what can we do? Just listen.
...For some reason, while listening to Jennie Kim talk endlessly about those things, she suddenly thought of Tzuyu Chou and the time she met Kim So-jung, a senior executive of GUCCI, at an event a few days ago.
Although Jennie Kim is a bit bitchy, and Tzuyu is very low-key and has never mentioned it since then, it seems that there is no difference between the two for her.
In any case, these are all treatments she doesn't get to enjoy.
After strolling around the streets all afternoon, it was dinnertime. The three of them were tired and hungry, so they found a restaurant to eat together.
Since Lim Nayeon is the nominal main character today, we chose her favorite food: hot pot.
Three popular female idols booked a private room, and while they were eating heartily, they also chatted enthusiastically about gossip.
For these female idols, this is the most attractive and relaxing time, and they don't shy away from all sorts of secret rumors, scandals, and dating news in the industry.
That's the most interesting!
"...Seventeen's Seungkwan used to be pursuing Yerin, and they were in an ambiguous relationship for a while, but I heard they broke up."
"...IOI's Kim Se-jeong and UP10TION's Kim Woo-seok are dating. It seems that photos have already been leaked, but Kim Se-jeong's agency suppressed them. Moreover, I heard that after her manager found out, she went directly to the other party's manager, and it caused quite a stir."
Kim Jisoo has an innocent smile and a mild personality, but she can still be quite eloquent when it comes to gossip.
"I heard about it too! Apparently, they even said a fight broke out or something."
Upon hearing this, Lim Nayeon immediately nodded, and without finishing her food, she mumbled, "But I was too embarrassed to ask Sejeong... and I don't think that Kim Woo-seok is very handsome, um, and not very tall either."
She clicked her tongue, her lips slightly oily, as she commented on the male protagonist in this gossip.
"It's alright, this type of cream still has a good market, and many people like it."
Jennie chimed in, speaking with great knowledge and experience: "And I've heard that he's quite the smooth talker, and quite a few female idols like him."
"Um……"
Lim Nayeon looked up and thought for a moment. She had met Kim Woo-seok backstage before and they had a good chat. He was indeed quite good at talking.
"...Nayeon, you guys at Twice know Pilseung, right? It seems like producer Rado and Apink's Bomi are dating." Jisoo dropped another bombshell.
"It seems like this time it's the girl who's pursuing the guy," Jennie Kim casually interjected.
"Qingjia?"
Upon hearing this, Lim Nayeon's eyes widened: "I really didn't know."
Several of Twice's title tracks were written by Black Eyed Pilseung, including their debut song, so they are quite familiar with this songwriter.
"Oh right, Jisoo."
After taking a few bites, Lin Nayeon suddenly remembered something, her eyes darting around as she asked curiously, "Is your group's Chaeyoung the one who's with XO's Sehun oppa...?"
She had seen Ji Kyung-won tease Oh Se-hun and Blackpink's Rosé a few times in their group chat. She had been curious for a while but hadn't asked. Now, it just so happened that someone in the know was sitting here and could verify it.
"Hey! How did you know?"
Jisoo and Jennie both glanced at her with some surprise. Then, Jennie, as if thinking of something, pursed her lips slightly and said, "These two have been flirting for so long, I don't know why..."
Her expression was somewhat awkward, and she seemed about to say something but then stopped herself. However, Nayeon could sense perfectly that she wanted to say, "I don't know how she fell for me..."
“I’m very close to Sehun oppa, he mentioned it to me… It’s actually true!” Lim Nayeon looked like she had heard big news.
"More than that."
Kim Jisoo's eyes darted around, and she lowered her voice furtively before dropping another bombshell: "I heard... I heard that Chanyeol from XO was also pursuing Rose, but after hearing that Sehun had a relationship with her, he gave up."
"Ah, Qingjia?"
Lim Nayeon's eyes widened again; this news was truly explosive, something she had never heard of before.
"Ha~"
Jennie smacked her lips twice and said sarcastically, "They're surprisingly united~"
Lim Nayeon looked left and right, feeling that she had heard a lot of interesting news today, and couldn't wait to go back and share it with Yoo Jeongyeon.
But she suddenly paused, realizing that Kim Jisoo and Kim Jennie... or rather, YG's information network was much more informed than hers. She and Oh Sehun often chatted in the group chat, but she had never heard of this news before.
However... everyone has their own strengths, and she also knows many secrets that others don't.
Sure enough, Kim Jisoo quickly asked:
"Nayeon, are there many couples dating in Twice? I heard a lot of people are pursuing your members... By the way, is it true or false that the rumors circulating online a while ago about Tzuyu from your group dating Kuanlin from Wanna One?"
"what?"
Lim Nayeon looked completely taken aback.
She was initially hesitant to tell the truth when Jisoo asked about Twice, but then she heard this... somewhat nonsensical question.
"How could that be? Of course it's fake~ Tzuyu, she..."
She quickly waved her hand, her mind flashing to Chou Tzu-yu... and Chi Ching-yuan's face, then she waved her hand more forcefully: "Anyway, it's definitely fake, fake!"
It's one thing if it's someone else, but how could Chou Tzu-yu possibly... be interested in anyone else?
"I guessed so."
Kim Jisoo shrugged, not surprised at all: "I heard that a lot of people in the industry are interested in Tzuyu... but recently I've heard that she's not simple either, and that she has quite a background."
"..."
After a brief silence of two seconds, Lim Nayeon nodded in confirmation: "There are indeed quite a lot."
She didn't directly answer the second question, but she didn't shy away from the fact that Chou Tzu-yu has many suitors... This maknae is getting prettier and prettier, and she looks even better in person than on camera. She has a small, short face, and is 1.7 meters tall with long arms and legs. Every part of her is enviable. Even by her standards, she is a real-life beauty, which is very rare in the entire music industry.
It's just a pity...
She sighed inwardly for her suitors.
For some reason, she suddenly felt like sighing for herself.
"And what about you~"
Kim Jisoo then asked with great interest, "I remember asking last time I didn't come, how have you been lately? Are you dating anyone? Didn't you say before that a lot of people were pursuing you? Was the rumor circulating online about you and BEAST's Son Dongwoon true or false?"
Recently, rumors circulated online that Lim Nayeon and BEAST's Son Dongwoon were dating. This was triggered by a photo of the two smiling together backstage at a TV station. Furthermore, Lim Nayeon had previously mentioned on the radio that she used to be a fan of BEAST.
"Huh? An Dui! It's fake!"
When this was mentioned, Lim Nayeon didn't even have time to put down her chopsticks before she crossed her arms over her chest and shouted loudly with a very resistant look: "It was just a group photo taken backstage, I don't know how it got leaked. The company even asked me about it once, it's so annoying!"
"Didn't you say you were a fan of Beast before?" Jisoo looked at her suspiciously.
"Oh dear, that was so long ago."
Lim Nayeon seemed a little irritated and shook her hand: "I am now... well, I'm not anymore."
"And what's that guy in GOT7 called again, the one who shares your birthday? Didn't he have a crush on you when you were trainees...?" Kim Jisoo really knows a lot, she continued to press for details.
“Trainees? That would be even earlier…” Lim Nayeon pursed her lips, her brows furrowing involuntarily. “Besides, I really dislike him. His personality is disgusting, he’s a really lewd person, you guys don’t know that…”
"So who are you interested in? Do you have someone you're flirting with? Don't tell me you don't, I don't believe you."
Jisoo wouldn't give up until she got what she wanted, because she knew that many people liked Nayeon's looks and personality, and she was genuinely curious about Nayeon's current relationship status.
He used to tell her all the time that someone was pursuing her, how he thought so-and-so was so great, or who was so handsome, but in the past year he seems to have stopped mentioning it so much.
Jennie, who was standing next to her, also looked over, her eyes filled with voyeuristic desire.
"..."
As the two men stared at her, a certain face reflexively appeared in Lim Nayeon's mind. She wanted to say something, but when she opened her mouth, she didn't know what to say. In the end, she could only slightly pout her greasy lips, and all her emotions turned into a complaint:
"Our company is very strict."
