After the two episodes of BLACK PINK's "RUNNING!

MAN "aired, some viewers who had a bad impression of Min Kyo-eun changed their minds.

Actually, they didn't have a good impression of Min Kyo-eun because her persona was different from the rest of BLACK PINK. In addition, she had collaborated with Song Min-ho in a R15 MV and was the first person to get personal resources after BLACK PINK's debut.

They felt that as a busy woman, Min Kyo-eun wasn't the main singer or dancer, nor was she the main promoter of ACE. How could she be valued by the company?

However, after watching this episode of "RUNNING!

MAN ", they suddenly felt that Min Kyo-eun wasn't as bad as they thought.

At the very least, she had eaten the super spicy burrito for Kim Ji-ni. It was enough to offset their bad impression of her.

They didn't know if the PD did it on purpose, but after Min Kyo-eun ate the burrito, the camera began to focus on her. They could also see the sweat on Min Kyo-eun's forehead and the uncomfortable expression on her face.

No matter how good she was at eating spicy food, she was still a girl. Wasn't it inappropriate for them to be so harsh on her?

At the same time, people on INS began to discuss whether Min Kyo-eun's behavior was intentional.

Most people felt that Min Kyo-eun ate the burrito for Augny because she felt sorry for Augny. There were also a small number of people who felt that Min Kyo-eun was acting pitiful.

Min Kyo-eun was very clear about the discussions on INS. She clicked on one INS comment after another and chuckled.

That's right, she did have the mentality of acting pitiful, but it was also because she felt sorry for Kim Ji-ni. It could be said that it was half and half.

She wasn't a fool. If she could seize an opportunity to change people's opinion of her, why wouldn't she take it?

People who didn't take the opportunity were really fools.

In the entertainment industry, people who were too upright led a miserable life. It wasn't that they couldn't be upright, but they should at least be flexible, right?

She wanted to maintain her lofty image after entering the entertainment industry? Dream on.

Kim Ji-ni had also seen these comments, so she knew what was going on. Overall, she was still very grateful to Min Kyo-eun because Min Kyo-eun was really uncomfortable at the time. If she ate it herself, she would have fainted on the spot. That wasn't what she wanted....

Since then, the atmosphere between her and Min Kyo-eun had become more harmonious. At least now they could talk and laugh as they liked.

"RUNNING!

A few days after 'Man', it was Min Jiaoen's birthday, which was December 22nd.

Min Jiaoen's birthday wasn't a grand affair. Other than the fact that she didn't have any plans for the day, Min Jiaoen didn't want to make it a grand affair either.

As she had said before, she felt that she had been in the limelight during this period of time. At the very least, she needed to avoid the limelight, so the birthday party was held in the dormitory.

On her birthday, she received...

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

. By. Dad.]

.. [Happy birthday, Kyo-eun. I'm sorry I can't come in person. I'll be abroad for the next few days. I'll pick a present for you.. By. Shengli oppa.]

. [Happy birthday.

. By. Senior Tian Zhengguo.]

. [Happy birthday, wuli Kyo-eun. Let's have a gathering in a few days!

. By. Min Soo Augny.]

. [Happy birthday, my good friend.

. By. Min Ho O-pa.]

…

There were too many messages. Min Kyo-eun couldn't reply to them one by one. She could only choose a few to reply to. Then, the others replied in groups.

Kim Ji?

The few of them had asked their manager to order a cake before this, and Min Jiaoen was also aware of this.

When she saw the cake, she couldn't help but be happy because there was a picture of her and Leonardo on it.

Oh my god!

Leonardo!

He was her favorite European and American actor!

Min Kyo-eun fell in love with Leonardo at first sight. Most people liked Leonardo because of his role in the movie "Titanic." Min Kyo-eun was different. She liked Leonardo after watching "Footloose." After that, she watched his previous movies like crazy.

Although Leonardo couldn't go back to his peak appearance now, and sometimes he even looked sloppy and fat, Min Kyo-eun had to admit that Leonardo couldn't make her forget the moment she saw Leonardo in "Footloose."

Sometimes, she would even argue with others about Leonardo's appearance. Hmph, even if Leonardo's appearance had fallen to rock bottom now, he was still very charming. What's more, when he was at his peak, he could charm thousands of girls and fangirls.

Kim Ji-ni looked at Min Kyo-eun who was so excited that she couldn't speak. She teased, "I know you like Leonardo, but you don't have to be so excited. Look at your expression now. You look like a foodie who saw food."

Min Kyo-eun smiled happily and clasped her hands in front of her chest. "Ah, Yigu, I can't help it. My male idol is Leonardo ~"

Park Chae-young laughed and shook her head. She urged, "Hurry up and make a wish and blow out the candles. The candles will go out soon."

Min Kyo-eun quickly closed her eyes and made a wish in her heart.

Her first wish was for her parents to be healthy and safe.

Her second wish was for her future career to be smooth sailing.

Her third wish was for her to be able to see Leonardo in the future.

After she made her wish, she opened her eyes and blew out the candles.

As soon as she finished blowing out the candles, Lisa took out a small salute from her pocket and aimed it at Min Kyo-eun. "Pa!" Her head and face were covered in ribbons.

"Happy birthday, Kyo-eun!"

"Augny!" Min Kyo-eun didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Lisa was about to bend over from Min Kyo-eun's embarrassing laughter. The other Augny girls took advantage of the fact that she wasn't paying attention and dipped some cream on the cake. Then, they smeared it on her face.

Min Kyo-eun came back to her senses and chased after the Augny girls with her hands full of cream. The five of them laughed and played together. Everyone's face and head were more or less stained with cream. They were in a sorry state.

When the manager came to the dormitory, they were already sitting on the floor and eating the cake. He sighed helplessly. "Oh my god, how crazy are you girls? Look at you now. Are you still female idols?"

They all smiled at the manager in an ingratiating manner.

The manager was actually very clear about the relationships in the team. Now that he saw the five of them playing together, he couldn't bear to scold them. He could only help them tidy up the mess in the living room without complaint.

Min Kyo-eun and the others were a little flustered. They wanted to stand up and tidy up with him, but he reached out and stopped them.

"Just sit down and eat the cake. I'll do it. But don't play too late today. You have training tomorrow, understand?"

"Yes!" the five of them answered in unison.

After about twenty minutes, the manager stood up and glanced around the living room. When he found that it was much more tidy, he said to Min Kyo-eun and the others, "Later, you can tidy up the remains of the cake yourselves. The cake you ate today is very high in calories, so you'll have to work out more in the next few days."

"Ah —" the five of them wailed in unison.

"Ah, it's useless. I'm leaving first. Sleep early."

"Oppa, goodbye!"

After the manager left, the five of them looked at each other and couldn't help but laugh.

Forget it. If the calories are high, then so be it. If they work out, then so be it. Right now, the most important thing is to be happy!

However, the five of them were very obedient. After eating the cake, they washed up early and climbed into bed to sleep.

The day after Min Kyo-eun's birthday, Yoo Seon-woo suddenly called and asked her to meet him at the back door of their company.

Min Kyo-eun was very puzzled as to why Yoo Seon-woo would suddenly call her, but she still went down on time.

When she arrived at the back door of the company, Min Kyo-eun immediately saw Yoo Seon-woo, who was wearing a black cap. Before she could call him, Yoo Seon-woo happened to turn around and saw her. He quickened his pace and ran to her side.

"Why did you suddenly come looking for me today?" Min Kyo-eun, who was wearing a mask, said in a somewhat dull voice.

"Someone asked me to bring you a gift." Yoo Seon-woo said as he handed Min Kyo-eun a gift bag. "You should know who it is even if I don't tell you."

Min Kyo-eun didn't move. She glanced at the logo on the gift bag and saw that it was from the world-famous jewelry brand, Tiffany.

With Min Kyo-eun's family background, it was impossible for her to buy such a luxury item, so her first reaction was to refuse.

"It's okay. Let him take it back. This gift is too extravagant."

Yoo Seon-woo didn't move.

"You should know his character. If you don't accept it, he will feel uneasy. Also, he said that if you don't accept it, it means that you still care about his recklessness at that time. Only if you accept it can he be sure that you have let it go. Otherwise, the two of you can't even be friends."

Who agreed to be friends with him?

Min Kyo-eun complained in her heart, but she also hesitated because of Yoo Seon-woo's words.

She thought about it and accepted the gift. She also made a decision in her heart that if she had the opportunity in the future, she would also buy a gift to Tian Zhengguo in return. Only then would she feel at ease.

After Min Kyo-eun accepted the gift, Yoo Seon-woo didn't stay for long. He left after saying a few words to her.

When Min Kyo-eun returned to the practice room, she didn't immediately take out the gift to look at it. Instead, she finished her training and returned to her room in the dormitory before opening it.

It was a golden pendant.

Min Kyo-eun went online to check the price of the pendant. She was immediately dumbfounded.

830,000 Korean won.

Oh my god, this was almost half of her parents' monthly salary.

Min Kyo-eun had a headache and held her forehead. How expensive a gift did she have to buy to be worthy of this 830,000 Korean won gift …

Although she had debuted, she didn't have much funding. Moreover, her family wasn't as well-off as Augny. This gift simply made her feel uneasy.

After thinking about it, Min Kyo-eun could only send a message to Tian Zhengguo.

[Senior, thank you for the gift. But Senior, don't you think this gift is too expensive?

— — By Kyo-eun]

Tian Zhengguo quickly replied.

[No, don't worry. Just accept it. Also, you don't have to call me Senior anymore. We can be considered friends, right?

— — By Tian Zhengguo Senior]

As the saying goes, money makes the world go round. Now, Min Kyo-eun didn't think it was too much. After accepting such an expensive gift from Tian Zhengguo and still calling him Senior, it seemed a little unreasonable. She sighed and could only reply, "Thank you, Zhengguo oppa."

After Tian Zhengguo received the reply, the corners of his lips curled up.

Ah, I caught you, Kyo-eun.

Kim Tae, who was beside him??

Looking at his younger brother's smile, he felt that this smile carried a sense of strategizing. It was like a wild wolf that had caught its prey.

He shook his head and ran to Min.

He went to find warmth by Qi's side.

During this period, his younger brother was busy chasing someone and didn't have the mood to play with him. This made him feel a little hurt.

Min?

Qi glanced at Kim Tae, who was leaning on him, and didn't chase him away.

Instead, he lowered his head and played with his phone again.

Kim Tae??

The more he thought about it, the more aggrieved he felt. He couldn't help but let out a humph.

Min?

Qi pinched Kim Tae's face helplessly.

"What's wrong? Why do you keep sighing?"

Min?

When Qi mentioned Kim Tae??

He couldn't help but complain. "Recently, Zhengguo has been ignoring me. All his attention is on that girl. I feel so hurt …"

"It's not easy for Zhengguo to like a girl. Don't be so calculative. He can't even be considered a friend with that girl now. That girl keeps calling him Senior."

"Really?" Kim Tae??

He suddenly became interested. "So Zhengguo also has this day!"

Min??

Qi laughed. He couldn't do anything about his younger brother.

"Since you understand, can you stop leaning on me?"

"No." Kim Tae??

He leaned back and pouted. "It's not easy to be close to my brother. I don't want it."
