Ambition
Chapter 20
On the day of the recording of 'A Week's Idol', BLACKPINK's second album, 'SQUARE'
On the day of the release of "Two".
With their previous results as a foundation, they received even more attention this time around.
'SQUARE'
'TWO's' main song was' PLAYING '
WITH
'FIRE' and 'STAY'. As soon as the songs were released, they won first place on the iTunes album chart in Sweden, Finland, China, Hong Kong, Singapore, and other regions. At five in the afternoon, 'PLAYING'
WITH
'FIRE' won first place on the music charts of the seven major music websites in South Korea, and 'STAY' also swept first place on the music charts of China, Hong Kong, Singapore, Macau, and other Asian regions.
The dazzling results made Yang Hyun-suk grin from ear to ear, and his attitude towards BLACKPINK became gentler.
If his attitude towards them was like that of a businessman towards an obedient employee before, now it was like he was biased towards the younger generation.
He used to be biased towards Jin Hanbin, but although IKON had debuted and won first place, the group's popularity was still not as high as EXO from S.M. It was the same for WINNER. For some reason, these two groups that he valued did not cause any huge waves and could not shake EXO.
It couldn't be helped. The Korean entertainment industry had always been very competitive. There were also groups forming and disbanding every second. There were so many unknown groups that not many people could remember.
Yang Hyun-suk was no longer in charge of the company. He had thrown half of the work to his younger brother, Liang Minxi. He was mostly focused on the trainees' training.
He admitted that he was not suitable for running a company, but he thought that he had a good eye for people. Wasn't he the one who found so many gemstone trainees?
He liked benefits, but he also cared about friendship. Even if friendship was not that important in front of benefits, he still had to plan for the future of Crooked Chicken.
With Big Bang's success and recognition, he could no longer control them like before. 2NE1 also gradually lost its popularity, and IKON and WINNER did not have much of a response for the time being. The other artistes also could not let the crooked chickens continue to rise.
He could only keep looking for trainees and training, trying to find a new group that could suppress others.
BLACKPINK was what he valued.
He hoped that BLACK PINK could get Crooked Chicken out of this awkward situation.
Of course, Yang Hyun-suk knew that Big Bang only continued to stay in Crooked Chicken because of their friendship. Therefore, he no longer focused on keeping Big Bang, nor did he plan to continue spending a lot of money on 2NE1.
He was a businessman, and friendship could not compare to benefits.
Therefore, for the sake of the crooked chicken, he would use all means possible. He hoped that BLACK PINK would not disappoint him.

Min Kyo-eun boasted that her mentality was stronger than others. Therefore, since she was young, she could do most of the things that she wanted to do. Even if she couldn't do it, she could adjust her mentality to face tomorrow.
However, she had never thought that she could do nothing in front of Tian Zhengguo. She could only watch helplessly as he slowly squeezed into her originally small heart.
She was very selfish. She was so selfish that she could only put her parents and good friends in her heart. However, Tian Zhengguo took up almost a third of her heart.
This is wrong.
Min Kyo-eun thought.
Whether it was for her future or his future, it was wrong.
Didn't someone say that a person's love, even if they covered their mouth, would still come out from their eyes?
Min Kyo-eun knew that one day, she would not be able to hide her love for Tian Zhengguo. However, what if the fans found out?
At that time, not only would she harm herself, but she would also harm Tian Zhengguo and the group that they belonged to.
Although she was selfish, she was also responsible. Even if she knew that she was not suitable to develop in Blackpink, as long as she was still in the group, she had to be responsible for the group's future.
Therefore, she could not like Tian Zhengguo.
Even if she liked him, she had to suppress it forcefully.
Tian Zhengguo did not know what Min Kyo-eun was thinking. He was very excited now because today was the day that the Bulletproof Boys sang at the popular ballad. Coincidentally, Blackpink was also coming.
He would be able to see Min Kyo-eun.
SBS's popular ballad program had prepared separate waiting rooms for the Bulletproof Boys and Blackpink. Their rooms were not very far from each other. There were about three or four rooms between them.
Many people were returning today, and there were also many well-known groups, such as EXOCBX, TWICE, and VIXX.
Blackpink was the twelfth to perform. The Bulletproof Boys were the last to perform, and EXOCBX was the last to perform.
As previously explained, the later the performances, the more important they were. From this, it could be seen that the Bulletproof Boys had squeezed into the A-list, but they were still slightly below EXO.
Crooked Chicken was rich and had built a beautiful dance set. Therefore, Blackpink's performance today was pre-recorded two days ago. Now, they were waiting for everyone to finish performing, and then they would go on stage to see who would be the first to perform.
Min Kyo-eun was wearing a wide-sleeved floral top and black leather shorts. When she opened the door to go to the bathroom, she saw a group of people standing in the corridor not far away.
It was the Bulletproof Boys.
Min Kyo-eun turned her head to look at the live broadcast TV behind her. She saw that it was TWICE.
Yes, TWICE was the thirteenth to perform, and the Bulletproof Boys was the fifteenth to perform. Now was the time to go backstage to prepare.
Min Kyo-eun's assistant was puzzled. "What's wrong?
Did you forget to bring something? "
"It's nothing."
Min Kyo-eun felt that she shouldn't stay here because of her previous confusion and depression. Just as she was about to turn around and return to her room, she saw them walking towards her.
Coincidentally, she also looked into Tian Zhengguo's deep eyes.
Her gaze made her momentarily forget what to do. She stood there in a daze, waiting for them to pass by her.
Tian Zhengguo stared at Min Kyo-eun as he walked. When he saw her stiff body, he couldn't help but smile, which made his wet rabbit eyes even more charming.
Min Kyo-eun took a deep breath. She knew that she had to greet them. There were so many staff members watching, but she, as a junior, ignored her seniors. Ten minutes later, news of BLACK PINK being disrespectful to the Bulletproof Boys would appear.
She wanted to stay away from Tian Zhengguo, but she didn't want to do so with such tragic consequences.
When the Bulletproof Boys walked in front of her, she immediately bowed to greet them. The assistant beside her also hurriedly greeted them.
Kim Nam-joon paused slightly and also bowed to greet Min Kyo-eun. When the other members of the Bulletproof Boys saw this, they also greeted him.
Because they were in a hurry to go backstage, they didn't say anything to Min Kyo-eun. They just straightened up and left.
Tian Zhengguo followed at the back. When he passed by Min Kyo-eun, he secretly reached out and pinched her fingers. Then he quickly let go and followed his brothers.
The assistant didn't notice his small movements.
Min Kyo-eun took a step back as if she was facing a formidable enemy.
The assistant hurriedly came forward to support her. She was very worried. "What's wrong?
Are you not feeling well?
Do you want me to talk to your manager? "
"… No." Min Kyo-eun gently pushed the assistant away, hurriedly ran to the toilet, and locked herself in a cubicle.
She sat on the toilet lid and stared at the fingertips that had been pinched by Tian Zhengguo. She only felt numb, and the touch of his skin seemed to have stayed on her fingertips.
After a long time, maybe a minute, maybe five minutes, Min Kyo-eun stared at her fingertips and suddenly laughed.
Tian Zhengguo was really interested in her.
It turned out that she wasn't the only one who was moved. Tian Zhengguo, the wild wolf, was also moved. It was really strange.
What should she do? She liked him, but she wouldn't accept him.
Who told her to be selfish? Even if she liked him, she still cared about her future first.

After the trip, Tian Zhengguo called his brothers to the living room, and then sat in front of them.
"Brother, I have something to tell you."
Kim Nam-joon was very surprised. His brother, who usually locked himself in the room to play games as soon as he returned to the dormitory, suddenly told them that he had something to tell them with a serious face?
He suddenly opened his eyes wide. Could it be that his brother had caused trouble?
Not only Kim Nam-joon thought so, but the other brothers also thought so.
Park Ji-ho, the crazy brother complex?
Worried that he would be beaten by his brothers, he carefully moved to Tian Zhengguo's side, in case his brothers went berserk.
But what he didn't know was that he would be the first one to go berserk.
Tian Zhengguo smiled cutely, and his big innocent eyes immediately softened his brothers' hearts.
Ah, how cute and well-behaved Tian Zhengguo was.
Even if he got into trouble, they would cover for him.
They couldn't help it. After all, they liked this cute brother.
"I fell in love with a girl."
His brothers smiled.
Huh?
Huh?
Huh???
His brothers' faces suddenly changed.
What did Tian Zhengguo just say?
He fell in love with a girl???
Min?
Qi helplessly rubbed her eyebrows, wondering if she had heard wrong because she was too tired recently.
Tian Zhengguo knew that his brothers didn't dare to believe it, so he repeated what he said just now.
Well, his brothers really believed it now.
Park Ji-ho?
After being stunned for a few seconds, he suddenly went berserk, shaking Tian Zhengguo's shoulder and shouting, "Tian Zhengguo!!!
Don't scare me!!!
My heart is very weak!!! "
Tian Zhengguo was amused by this cute brother. He reached out to stop Park Ji-ho?
Then he continued to say to his brothers, "Brothers, you are very good to me, so I don't want to hide it from you. Whether you support me or not, I want to tell you the person I like.
Her name is Min Kyo-eun, and she is Tian Zhengguo of Black Pink. Brother, you even said hello to her today. "
Kim Nam-joon had a headache. "Are you together?"
"No."
Tian Zhengguo was very helpless. "I like her, but she doesn't seem to like me very much. But I want to be with her.
So brother, will you object to me pursuing her? "
What could Kim Nam-joon say? He couldn't say anything.
On one hand, it was his beloved brother, and on the other hand, it was the company's ban on love.
Headache.
Jin?
Zhen wasn't too embarrassed. He looked at Tian Zhengguo gently and only asked one question.
"Do you really like that girl?"
"I really like her."
Jin?
Zhen smiled.
"Then you go and pursue her," he said. "It's not wrong to like someone. I believe you know what you are doing, right?"
Jin?
Zhen usually played well with his brothers. He looked silly, but in fact, he knew everything.
It was only a matter of time before his brother fell in love. If he didn't let him go now, he would only leave him with regrets.
Although Tian Zhengguo was busy, sometimes he was more mature than his big brother.
It didn't matter. Since he liked her, he would do it.
After Tian Zhengguo got his big brother's support, he was a little more confident and looked at his other brothers.
The other brothers smiled helplessly and chose to support him.
"Busy …" Park Ji-ho?
Looked at Tian Zhengguo with a bitter face. "Don't abandon your brothers after you get that girl."
Tian Zhengguo's response to him was a hug.
How could it be?
His brothers were the most important people besides his parents.
Even Min Kyo-eun could only be ranked behind them.
He was very realistic and clear-headed.
He liked Min Kyo-eun, but this "like" couldn't compare to the feelings he had with his brothers over the years.
So as long as his brothers didn't agree, he wouldn't pursue Min Kyo-eun.
As the captain, Kim Nam-joon's responsibility was heavier than the others.
But when he looked at his brother who was staring at him calmly, he suddenly calmed down.
He should believe in his brother.
Kim Nam-joon sighed and smiled.
