Hearing Lee Hyori's voice saying "Please come in," Lee Yuhwa entered the private room with Park Injeong. As soon as they entered, they saw the four members of 'fin.k.l' sitting in the room, all turning their heads to look at them with smiling faces. Lee Yuhwa immediately bowed and greeted, "Yoojoo hyung, Jeejin hyung, Yoo Ri hyung, Hyori noona." After that, Lee Yuhwa exclaimed, "fin.k.l!! fin.k.l!! It's really fin.k.l!!" Park Injeong also bowed to the seniors present.
Lee Hyori smiled and waved at Lee Yuhwa, "Alright, come and sit down." Then she said to her sisters, "Here... didn't you all want to meet Lee Yuhwa? I've brought him here for you."
Yoojoo also smiled and said, "Lee Yuhwa's skin is as smooth as a woman's, it really looks good. How do you take care of it?"
Before Lee Yuhwa could even sit down, he was asked a question and touched his face, "Yoojoo hyung, I almost never manage my skin. I just use some soap to wash my face, but I always use cold water all year round."
Yoojoo smiled and said, "You call Lee Hyori 'noona,' you can call us 'noona' too."
"Okay, Yoojoo noona, Jeejin noona, Yoo Ri noona." Lee Yuhwa greeted the three sisters again. At this moment, Lee Hyori said, "Sit down, sit down. Hey... Yuhwa, isn't this girl the one who appeared in your MV?"
"Yes, she is my friend Park Injeong. I've known her even before I debuted. She was a trainee for Girls' Generation but had to leave due to some family issues. Now she has joined CCM and is a trainee for a girl group that CCM plans to debut next year. Please take good care of her, noona."
Lee Hyori also smiled and looked at Park Injeong, who had been clinging to Lee Yuhwa's side since she entered. Lee Hyori said, "Are you two really just friends? Or is she your girlfriend? Hahaha... There's no one else here, be honest. Don't try to fool us with official statements. Don't you trust us? But she is pretty and suits you well."
Lee Yuhwa scratched the back of his head and smiled, explaining, "Hyori noona, right now, we are really just friends. Besides, my career is on the rise, and she is about to debut. We have never thought about dating."
Yoojoo nodded in understanding, "Yeah, although you are in the rising phase of your career, when love comes, you should seize it. Don't miss a good woman and regret it later."
Jeejin also smiled and said, "Yoojoo noona, you should worry about your own affairs first. Don't use your love theories to measure others' love. That's like seeing through a fog, always a step away. Only the people involved truly know. But I do agree that when love comes, you should seize it."
Lee Yuhwa thought Jeejin was supporting him at first, but it turned out differently. He could only smile at Jeejin.
Cheng Yoo Ri then put a piece of grilled meat in Lee Yuhwa's bowl, "Sisters, let's let Yuhwa and Injeong eat something first."
Lee Hyori also smiled and said, "Right, right, right, eat first, eat." Lee Yuhwa smiled and started eating. He picked up a piece of grilled meat, dipped it in the sauce, and naturally fed it to Park Injeong. Seeing Lee Yuhwa feed her in front of so many sisters, Park Injeong blushed but still ate the meat.
The experienced Lee Hyori and the others smiled, understanding the relationship between the two. They were held back by their careers and had not yet taken the next step, but they both had feelings for each other.
Lee Hyori then said, "Hey!! Lee Yuhwa, don't show off in front of the sisters. If you want to show affection, I'll get you a private room. Don't feed each other here."
Lee Yuhwa, hearing Lee Hyori's teasing, awkwardly scratched his head and then fed a piece of meat to Lee Hyori. Lee Hyori smiled and bit the meat Lee Yuhwa fed her. Although they say that eating from someone's hand makes you short of words, this didn't apply to Lee Hyori.
Lee Hyori, while chewing the meat Lee Yuhwa fed her, smiled and said, "Don't think you can shut me up with food. Food only shuts up people like Kang Ho Dong. This trick doesn't work on me. Hahaha..."
At this moment, Jeejin and the others also teased Lee Yuhwa, "Yuhwa, you need to be fair. We want... Hahaha."
Lee Yuhwa's mouth twitched as he started feeding each of them. After feeding everyone, he finally took a piece for himself.
While eating and chatting, Lee Yuhwa asked Lee Hyori, "Hyori noona, you didn't just invite me here to introduce me to the sisters, right? Do you need my help with something?"
"I won't beat around the bush. I'll just say it. I plan to hold my first solo concert at the end of the year, as a gift for my 10th anniversary. So... I want you to be a guest at my concert."
Hearing this, Lee Yuhwa frowned, and Lee Hyori, seeing his expression, said不满地, "What? Do you think I'm not big enough? Avril can invite you, but I can't?"
Lee Yuhwa was taken aback by Lee Hyori's words, "No, that's not it, Hyori noona, you misunderstood. Because of the success of 'Hotel California,' the company's executives have been talking about me developing in Europe and America. But I haven't made a clear decision with the president yet, whether to go or not."
"Because my single is about to be released, the executives can only wait and see after my promotional activities end. Actually, I took a break for about ten days, not just to make a Korean single. I also made an English single, which has already been sent to the U.S. I'm not sure when they will release it."
"I'm thinking that if my music gets recognized in Europe and America again, the company will definitely send me there. If that happens, I won't know if I can come back for your concert, so I was hesitant. I hope you don't misunderstand, I'm not saying I don't want to be a guest at your concert, but I don't know if I'll be in Korea or the U.S. at that time."
Hearing Lee Yuhwa's explanation, Lee Hyori nodded and said, "Alright, I understand. I apologize for getting angry. I shouldn't have lost my temper without knowing your situation."
Yoojoo also smiled and tried to smooth things over, "Lee Hyori, you should control your temper. You shouldn't get angry without understanding the whole situation. By the way, Yuhwa, you said you made an English song. Can you give us a preview? Let us hear it first. It will also help us see how good the song is."
"Um, okay." Lee Yuhwa thought for a moment. No one present would leak his source. Besides, the song was already ready and could be released at any time.
Lee Yuhwa took a few sips of water and cleared his throat, then started singing.
"Loving you is easy 'cause you're beautiful..."
Lee Yuhwa only sang one verse and stopped. Everyone clapped, and Yoojoo smiled and said, "Good... I think this song is better than 'Hotel California.' I like this kind of emotional melody; it's very soothing. I believe this song will do well."
"Thank you..." Lee Yuhwa said, but his phone rang. He took it out and saw it was his manager calling. He nodded to the sisters and answered, "Uncle, aren't you on vacation? Why are you calling me?"
"It's like this. The young poet Won Tae-yeon recently directed a movie called 'A Moment to Remember.' He heard the sad songs you created like 'Like Being Shot' and 'No Longer in Love,' so he wants to invite you to discuss making the movie's OST tomorrow."
"OST? Tomorrow? Okay, who will take me there? I can't drive myself, right?"
"Hehe... Tomorrow, Lee Ji-eun's manager will come to pick you up in the morning. Remember to go home early and rest. He will take you directly to the filming site."
"Why am I going to the filming site? Do you want me to make a cameo? I don't like making cameos. If you want me to, then pay me!" The sisters, hearing Lee Yuhwa's words, all sweat-dropped.
The manager on the other end was speechless, "Yuhwa, they don't want you to make a cameo. They are taking you to the filming site to read the script and help you find inspiration for writing the song."
"Ah, I see. I understand. I'll go tomorrow. Uncle, please tell the dancers they don't need to come to the company tomorrow."
"Okay, I will. I'll let them know. That's all, I'll hang up now."
After hanging up, Lee Yuhwa muttered, "Really, a bunch of money-grubbers. Even when I'm resting, they want me to do an OST." The sisters, hearing Lee Yuhwa's words, were speechless again. Lee Yuhwa was really shameless...
