Wasn't Chapter 45 redundant? Sana-senpai
Sana Minato closed the door, slowly turned around, and looked at Hwang Ye-ji, who was bending over and struggling with his problem.
With her small frame, it's simply a pipe dream for her to carry a drunk man away.
"I won't let you take him away until Do-hoon wakes up."
Sana Minatozaki, shuffling past Hwang Yeji in her slippers, sat down on the armrest of the sofa, her pale hand resting naturally on Jung Do-hoon's shoulder. Then, in a relaxed yet undeniable tone, she said:
"You can sit down and talk to me, or... you can go for a walk, and I'll call you later."
"Senior Sana, I'm Dohoon oppa's friend. Is there anything wrong with coming here to pick him up?" Hwang Yeji just thought the person in front of her was really absurd.
Who locks someone in their house and doesn't let them leave?
Moreover, it's not certain whether Zheng Daoxun was brought here by the driver in a daze.
"Let's talk this out right here and resolve this as soon as possible." Huang Lizhi sighed softly, sat down on the other side of the single sofa, and stared intently at Minatozaki Sana's restless hands.
Sana Minatozaki slowly raised her index finger along Jung Do-hoon's shoulder, touching his sideburns, her nails circling and curling the ends of his hair.
However… perhaps only Huang Lizhi noticed this detail. Minatozaki Sana didn’t seem to realize her little action either, only nodding slightly. Seeing that her junior showed a cooperative attitude, her tone softened considerably.
"Yeji, I hope you don't misunderstand. I'm not an unreasonable person. Dohoon-ssi was brought to my house in the middle of the night. As the person whose house was broken into, I don't think I should just let Dohoon-ssi leave without knowing why. I at least have the right to know, right?"
Huang Lizhi put himself in her shoes and nodded thoughtfully. If he were Minatozaki Sana, he wouldn't want to let this matter be glossed over like this either.
We need to find out exactly what happened.
But... all of this is based on the premise that Sana Minatozaki didn't lie, and that Jung Do-hoon was indeed brought here by the driver, as she said, rather than her using some means to trick the driver into coming here.
"I understand."
The atmosphere seemed to have eased somewhat.
"Phew...that's good." Sana Minatozaki got up, took a bottle of coconut water from the refrigerator, unscrewed the cap, and returned. When she came back, Reiji Hwang extended his hand and said thank you.
Sana Minatozaki paused for a moment, then explained softly, "No, no, this isn't for you. People who are drunk need to replenish their electrolytes. If you want some..."
Huang Lizhi tried his best to suppress his dissatisfaction.
The principle of "guests are always welcome" should be universal, whether in East Asia or Europe and America.
Are they not even giving me a bottle of water? Or are they deliberately making things difficult for me?
"Sana sunbaenim, I'm just saying thank you on behalf of Dohoon oppa. If he wants some water, I'll get it for him." Hwang Yeji didn't pull her hand back. "Before I came, I promised Ya-hyun... oh, you know, Dohoon oppa's sister, that I would take good care of him."
Having been in the industry for so many years, Sana Minatozaki knows one thing—everyone has a mouth, and truth, lies, and nonsense all come from it, so she only believes the facts she sees and the judgments she makes.
Hwang Ye-ji said she was asked by Jung Do-hoon's sister to pick someone up, so Minatozaki Sana could also say she is Jung Do-hoon's ex-girlfriend.
Zheng Daoxun was still in love with her, and he only went to her house after getting drunk.
But if Huang Lizhi said that, would he believe it?
"I'm sorry, Yeji, even if you were sent by his sister, please understand my caution. After all, I don't know Do-hoon's interpersonal relationships. If I just let you take him away like this, and something happens outside, I will be the primary person responsible."
Sana Minatozaki ignored the outstretched hands of Reiji Hwang, simply screwed the bottle cap back on, placed it on the coffee table, and then casually looked at Reiji Hwang: "I did this not only to be responsible for myself, but also for you and for Dohoon."
"I can understand." Hwang Yee-ji pouted dejectedly. She really didn't seem to have much to prove her relationship with Jung Do-hoon.
You can't exactly dig up all your chat history from over the years and show it to this woman, just to prove that you've known each other for a long time, can you?
Knowing someone for a long time doesn't mean she can take Zheng Daoxun away tonight.
Moreover, Hwang Yee-ji absolutely did not want the feelings he had shared with Jung Do-hoon over the years to be gradually exposed to others.
"But I can call Ya-Hsien..."
"If I remember correctly, Yeji, you've only been in the industry for four years, right?"
Sana Minatozaki responded quickly, but what really caught Huang Lizhi's attention was that just as Jung Do-hoon was about to adjust his position and lie flat on the sofa, the woman opposite him gently pressed his shoulder and, with a little force, helped him back into a side-lying position.
She didn't even look at Zheng Daoxun; she just heard a noise coming from the sofa and naturally reached out to support him.
If Jung Do-hoon really insisted on barging into Minatozaki Sana's house, and the two weren't familiar with each other, would Minatozaki Sana have made such unconscious physical contact?
"It's been four years." Huang Lizhi glanced down at his phone screen. "I can let Ya Xian..."
"It seems that the Second Campus doesn't manage you very strictly."
It was interrupted again.
Huang Lizhi was secretly annoyed. She could have solved the problem by making a video call to Zheng Yaxian, but why did Minatozaki Sana have to interrupt her?
Moreover, isn't she being sarcastic? Is she implying that Hwang Yee-ji, who has only been in the industry for four years, is already having an ambiguous relationship with a man?
But... a senior like Sana Minatozaki can be sarcastic, but Hwang Yeji can't.
Even though several counter-examples instantly came to mind—
You're a member of Sana Minatozaki's team, how dare you say that to me?
However, Huang Lizhi is ultimately a respectable person, and she cannot do anything to slander others or harm the innocent.
Since that's the case, Huang Lizhi was too lazy to argue with Minatozaki Sana.
"Sana sunbaenim, let me summarize your demands: first, you want to know why Dohoon oppa came to your house; second, you're worried that if I take Dohoon oppa away, something might happen, right?"
Sana Minatozaki nodded slightly, though she was already somewhat regretting her impulsive words.
Ultimately, Hwang Ye-ji was still very polite to her on the surface, and he only wanted to take Jung Do-hoon away.
Perhaps... she didn't want to see Hwang Ye-ji making a video call to Jung Do-hoon's sister in front of her?
That's when he let his mouth beat his brain, and used his seniority to give Hwang Ye-ji a little scolding.
"But Sana-senpai, your request doesn't seem to require you to leave Dohoon oppa here."
Huang Lizhi stood up, walked to the two of them, and continued:
"First, once Dohoon oppa is sober, he can text you or call you to explain what happened tonight. You don't need to worry about not being able to contact him tomorrow."
"Second... Sana sunbaenim, I don't quite understand. If I take Dohoon oppa with me, what bad things could happen? Could you elaborate?"
