Back at the table, Jisoo wiped her mouth and leant over to ask, “Did you manage to piss Lin Xia off?”
Lin Xia was Lin-jie’s name.
“You opened your all-seeing eye?” Jennie drank some water.
Jisoo smiled noncommittally. “She tried to contact you a while back.”
Jennie asked, “How did I not know about that?”
“Because I blocked it.” Jisoo picked out the sweet-sour ribs in Jennie’s bowl and took back to her own, saying, “I was afraid you’d cheat on me, and this is all flour, don’t eat it.”
Jennie looked at the meat longingly.
As she looked up, she saw that the turntable had spun until the sweet-sour ribs was right in front of her.
Taehyung retrieved his hand from the turntable, and calmly said, “Have some.”
As they watched a smiling Jennie nibble a piece, everybody at the table felt like they had been fed some dog food.
When Lin Xia returned, her expression was back to normal. Just as she’d sat down, she got back up with her glass of alcohol. “Lan Lan is still new, that she can be a part of such a big banner production is all thanks to the team’s benevolence.”
Tzuxi hurriedly followed her lead, smiling unnaturally. “Yes, this is for Director Li.”
Jimin was not interested in these sorts of relationships, but she did not wish to worsen her rapport with the actors even before the filming had started. Thus, she tipped her glass at Tzuxi before taking a few sips.
“And the scriptwriter…”
Tzuxi, thus, continued toasting to everyone present – from the director to the lead, from the lead to the investor.
In the end, she finally got to Taehyung.
Taehyung did not even look up. “There’s no need for that, I don’t drink.”
His tone was not friendly. Upon running into the wall, Tzuxi was a little taken aback and uncertain. She remained standing with the glass still raised while she sent a helpless look to Jimin.
Director Qi rolled his eyes a few times thinking about it, then laughed insincerely and said, “He never drinks; it’s fine, as long as you’ve conveyed your intentions.”
After the round of drinking, Tzuxi’s cheeks were already mildly flushed. She laughed dryly as she returned to her seat.
Jennie propped her chin up, finding this all rather mundane.
What began as a nice gathering dinner, had now turned into a drinking spree. A few years down the road and Lin Xia’s habits had still not changed.
Her phone vibrated.
[Kim Taehyung: Do not toast.]
[Kim Taehyung: Your alcohol tolerance is too bad.]
Jennie’s second finger rested on her lips, a peel of light laughter spilled out.
[Goddess Lee Jennie: No, even if I’m drunk you can send me back to the hotel.]
[Kim Taehyung: I’ll send you even if you’re not drunk.]
“Little Jennie, what are you smiling about?” Wu Ke asked.
Jennie tried not to let her lips curl upwards, gently shaking her head. “It’s nothing.”
“I read the whole script, the character I’m looking forward to most is yours,” Wu Ke said, with a smile. “It’s rather challenging.”
Jennie said, “Yes, I like my character very much too.”
