"Keep it up!"
As soon as the manager finished speaking, he had no idea that such a simple schedule announcement would cause a stir in the hearts of the Twice members in front of him, especially Sana Minatozaki.
After confirming the authenticity of the collaboration, she was surprised, but several questions that excited her immediately popped into her head.
Did Chi Kyung-won bring it up on his own initiative?
If not, this kind of cooperation would definitely require notification to both companies. Ji Kyung-won from SM Entertainment must have known about it before she did. Did he... agree to it first?
Or rather, did he know he needed to cooperate with me?
As several questions arose, my emotions also began to fluctuate uncontrollably.
Seeing that her manager had turned and left after speaking, Sana Minatozaki fixed her gaze on him and followed him out.
…………
Seeing that their manager and Sana Minatozaki had both left the practice room, the remaining eight members of Twice exchanged glances and immediately began discussing the unexpected news.
At the same time, all sorts of eyes were drifting towards Mina... As members of Twice, how could they not know the origin of the song "Uchiage Hanabi" and its extremely special significance to Mina?
...When they first learned about this song and the story between her and Chi Kyung-won, which member present wasn't envious?
Now, a special song that was originally meant for her, almost exclusively, is about to become a song that Ji Kyung-won will sing with another member...
Although it was just a collaboration on stage, the coincidences and unexpected turns of events were full of dark humor, making people think a lot.
"...I was covered too, so why wasn't I allowed to go?"
Lin Na-yeon slyly glanced in the direction of the gate where Minatozaki Sana had left, wrinkling her nose and muttering with a hint of sourness.
However, some people think a little differently. Their first reaction is not to gossip, but rather to feel resentful and envious.
"Maybe the Japanese you're speaking aren't understandable to the Japanese people," Yoo Jeong-yeon said in a light, sarcastic tone.
"How is that possible? My Japanese teacher said my pronunciation is perfect."
"I remember the teacher added, 'Practice for a while longer.'"
"Damn it, you still dare to talk!"
Using a fierce expression to mask her embarrassment, Lim Nayeon glared angrily at Yoo Jeongyeon, but the next second her mood soared. She secretly glanced at Mina not far away, covered her mouth with her hand and muttered softly, "But I didn't expect it to be Sana... Mina won't be angry, will she?"
"I don't think so, it's been so long already."
"If I were Mina, I would definitely feel very uncomfortable... When Sana comes back later, will they start arguing?"
So you're not Mina.
"Hehe, it's Nayeon~"
I wanted to say, 'Maybe I should just turn them down?'
On the other side, Chou Tzu-yu, who had been sitting cross-legged, blinked her big eyes and looked around at the expressions of the other members with a lively gaze. When she swept her eyes over Mina, she deliberately quickened her pace and did not linger on her.
But in reality, most of her attention was focused on this older sister... and the other part was on Sana Minatozaki outside.
Chou Tzu-yu was surprised to hear about the collaboration, but she also felt a sense of wonder... Her feelings towards Mina, the older member she had dated before, had always been somewhat complicated.
However, since the two had been separated for more than half a year, and so much time had passed, Mina had long since acted normally in private, as if she had forgotten about that incident. She simply let it go with a laugh.
I didn't expect that the collaboration stage would be brought up today. "Uchiage Hanabi" is the song that Mina cares about the most.
Chou Tzu-yu remembers discovering Mina listening to this song by chance more than once. Sometimes it was when she happened to pass by and saw the song title playing on her phone screen, and other times it was when she passed by and heard the familiar tune faintly coming from her headphones.
And it happened not so long ago, but just in the last two months.
This made Chou Tzu-yu secretly feel that this unnie wasn't as calm and strong as she appeared.
But secretly observing, they found nothing amiss with Mina. She was chatting and laughing with Momo Hirai beside her, looking completely normal, and seemed even more natural than Momo Hirai herself.
...You could see a hint of strangeness and worry in Hirai Momo's eyes next to her.
Another one is Sana Minatozaki... If we disregard the special significance of the song "Uchiage Hanabi," Tzuyu is actually quite envious of Sana and Ji Kyung-won having the opportunity to collaborate on a stage.
The thought of practicing together, meeting, and interacting in private, and then openly performing together on stage while subtly exchanging glances... made her a little excited.
However, "Uchiage Hanabi" is a song by Mina, so Tzuyu was unwilling to sing it.
This also caused her to suddenly enter a state of divergent thinking.
...If it were her, what song should she collaborate on with Ji Kyung-won?
As she was thinking, she suddenly remembered something, took out her phone, and quickly tapped twice:
"Did you work with Sana?"
…………
"...This collaboration?"
When the manager, who had just walked out, heard the question from Sana Minatozaki, who had jogged after him, he didn't hide anything and briefly explained the origin of the collaboration:
"It was suggested by the organizers. They've had this idea for a while now, about two weeks ago. They first consulted with SM Entertainment and their company, and Kyungwon-ssi agreed..."
"...We discussed the stage and collaboration details together afterward, and I only informed you today."
Sana Minatozaki, who had been feeling excited and had some inexplicable thoughts, suddenly stopped feeling excited after hearing her manager's words.
Sana Minatozaki had been having some expectations that were a bit too high... After all, she knew that Ji Kyung-won had an extraordinary status at SM Entertainment, and she would definitely need to consult him for this kind of collaboration, especially since he was the original singer of "Uchiage Hanabi".
So, Chi Jingyuan must have agreed, right? Even after knowing it was a collaboration with her, he still agreed, right?
However, according to her agent, this matter had been discussed for a long time, and she was the last to find out, while Chi Jingyuan had known about the collaboration with her for half a month.
But... a few days ago when they bumped into each other backstage at a concert, he didn't react at all when he saw her.
Normally, if someone knew that the two of them would be collaborating on a stage, they would at least casually greet each other with a smile, even if they didn't specifically mention it... But he didn't mention it at all, as if he had no idea that there was such a collaboration.
Or perhaps for him, it was just a simple and normal collaboration, with nothing more to it.
...Or maybe he's deliberately targeting her and really doesn't want to talk to her.
After realizing this, Sana Minatozaki felt as if she had been doused with cold water, and all her previous excitement and slight trepidation vanished.
