I'm just being polite

  Two hours later, Yeon Jung appeared at T-ara's dormitory with big and small bags.

  "Ah! OPPA, why are you just coming now?!" Park Ji-yeon, who opened the door, looked like she had been waiting impatiently.

  "I didn't come all the way here to buy some groceries, did I? Tonight, I'll cook for you guys in your dorm." Yin Xian smiled and carried a big pile of things into the room.

  "But I want to eat barbecue!" Park Ji-yeon's face fell instantly.

  "What I made is much more delicious than barbecue." Yoon Hyun patted his chest confidently, then put down the things and started looking around T-ara's dormitory.

  "Yoon Hyun OPPA, give me the stuff first!" As the fifth among six people, Park Haemin who isn't particularly close to Yoon Hyun seemed a bit out of place. Seeing Park Jiyeon being playful with Yoon Hyun who was carrying a large pile of things made him feel a bit embarrassed, so he stepped forward to help out.

  "Hae Min, I don't need your help." Park Ji Yeon stopped Park Hae Min and shouted towards a room, "Eun Jeong, your husband is here! Come quickly to help him carry things!"

  Right after that, a roar came from that room: "Ah! Park Ji-yeon! You're itching again!"

  No sooner had he finished speaking than Xian Jing rushed out of the room.

  Before long, several others also came out of the room and into the living room, which was originally small and immediately became crowded.

  "Would you like to go out for barbecue tonight, or should I cook something here for you? It's up to you." Yoon Hyun said with a somewhat melancholic tone, looking at Park Ji Yeon's unhappy face.

  "Yoon Hyun OPPA, can you handle buying so many things?" Park Hye Min still actively took the things from Yoon Hyun's hands and as soon as she did, she suddenly felt that she couldn't carry them very well.

  "It's not all for today, some things are for you to eat normally. Remember when we met at Music Bank last week, someone was so hungry they could barely stand? I brought her something that won't make her gain weight. And I also brought honey for you guys, drink it with water every night before bed..." Yoon Hyun rolled his eyes at Park Ji-yeon and started pulling out various things from the bag like Doraemon's magic pouch.

  "How come I feel like you have the air of someone who's visiting relatives in the countryside?" said Park Soo-yeon, who was starving from dieting.

  "Aren't all of you being too careless? Look at your own faces, this is your first official album... " Yoon Hyun said, "You need to have a good body to have good opportunities. By the way, do you want to go out and eat barbecue tonight or eat in the dorm?"

  "Yin Xian, if you don't mind the trouble, just cook it in our dormitory. We rarely cook in the dormitory, and the things you bought will go bad here." Li Jiali said.

  On one side, Quan Bao Lan also nodded in agreement.

  Two older sisters have already said they will eat in the dormitory, so even Park Ji-yeon, who strongly wants to eat barbecue, can only pout and lower her head without saying a word.

  "Preparation time may take a bit longer, if you have anything to do or want to go out and play, just arrange it yourself first, and come back for dinner later!" Yin Xian smiled at the girls, "It's rare to rest, so relax well!"

  Then Yin Xian started his own cooking work.

  Actually, he originally planned to come over in the afternoon to chat with a few girls or go out for a stroll, and then have dinner together at a barbecue restaurant. However, on his way here, he suddenly felt that it would be better to cook something himself instead of having barbecue.

  On the way, he called his sister Yoon Ji-hye to confirm the current situation with CCM, and then Yoon Ji-hye told him that although the matter had been resolved, the girls were now all apologetic towards Yoon Hyun.

  Yin Xian thought for a moment, if he were to invite them out to dinner again so lavishly, what if their guilt feelings burst forth at the dinner table and they started crying or something, wouldn't that be even harder for him to handle?

  Although this matter is not his fault from start to finish, and he was even unjustly shot. However... who made him treat them as sisters? As a brother, one should be more magnanimous!

  So he thought of a way to go to their dormitory and cook for them, letting them know that they were completely regarded as sisters, so maybe they wouldn't feel so sorry.

  Then there was this big pile of packages and bags belonging to Yin Xian.

  "Oppa, need some help?" Yoon Hyun had just started preparing the stew when Park Hyeo Min walked into the kitchen.

  "Oh, Hyo-min!" Eun-hyeon was currently handling the chicken and had a knife in her hand. "Can you help me put water into that pot and heat it up on the fire?"

  "Okay." Park Hyo-min did as Yoon Hyeon asked.

  Then continued standing in the kitchen at a loss what to do.

  "Hyomin, you don't have to be like this, there's no need to be so polite with me." Yoon Hyun noticed that Park Hyomin had a slightly awkward expression. "Look at Yuri and Sooyoung, aren't they just doing their own thing without any worries? If you're really bored, then chat with me for a bit, if you have something to do, go take care of it, don't worry about leaving me here alone feeling uncomfortable."

  Although Yoon Hyun said so, Park Hyeo Min still stood there, somewhat at a loss for what to do.

  "Oppa, I'm sorry for what happened during the recording of 'Youth Over Flowers'." Park Hyo Min spoke up after hesitating for a moment.

  "You didn't do anything wrong to me." Yoon Hyun was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and shook his head. "Company decisions must be followed, this is professionalism. Besides, you even cared about me that day, I'm already grateful."

  Perhaps it was the genuine smile on Yoon Hyun's face, or maybe Park Hyeo Min thought he made sense, but she nodded and walked out of the kitchen.

  Not long after, someone else walked into the kitchen.

  "Yin Xian, need help?" It was Li Jiali this time.

  "If you really want to help, then go wash those vegetables and chop them up. If it's just politeness, then don't bother." Yun Hyun was not being polite with Lee Joo-ri. This probably had something to do with the experience of the two people getting along.

  If Yoon Hyun and any of these girls were locked in a small black room, Yoon Hyun would be able to fall asleep without hesitation. I think it's only Lee Joo-ri who can do that with him, and he can really be selfless when facing her.

  "Alright." Li Jiali surprisingly didn't scold Yin Xian, but instead quietly walked into the kitchen.

  Yin Xian was taken aback for a moment. Even if he had expected Li Julai to come and apologize, there was no reason for her to be so docile!

  "Is the task that Ji Hyeon-ssi gave me previously, considered done today?" Lee Ju Ri actually didn't plan on working and looked outside the door to see if there was no one around, then lowered her voice and said to Yoon Hyun.

  "Task? What..." Yoon Hyun was stunned for a moment, then suddenly remembered what she said. The task was probably to tell her sister to suppress T-ara's girls and not let them conflict with the company because of her own affairs.

  "Don't you know?" Li Jiali was also stunned for a moment.

  "I just asked my sister to think of a way, didn't expect... she handed everything over to you." Yoon Hyun let out a sigh and then gave Lee Joo Ri a very sincere and grateful look.

  "It's okay like this, during that time, even the communication between Chihiro and us wasn't very convenient." Li Jiu-li nodded, "Fortunately, nothing big went wrong."

  "Ji-an... aren't you angry about this?" Yeon-hyeon was worried about this. He really knew what kind of person the little dinosaur was. "And Bao Lan..."

  "Zhiyan is still obedient and knows I'm doing it for her own good, so she didn't say anything. Bao Lan didn't make a sound either, probably because she also knew what was going on in her heart. If it weren't for her help, I would have had a hard time doing it too. Actually, the one who really made me angry is Enjing..." Li Julan sighed.

  Yin Xian was taken aback. She and Ham Eun-jung were just a little closer than ordinary friends, right? Although she was a girl with a pretty straightforward personality, but... was it really that serious?

  He had an ominous premonition at once.

  Just as Lee Joo-ri seemed to be about to continue pursuing the matter, Park Soo-young suddenly appeared at the kitchen door.

  "Jū lì jiě, nǐ zài gàn má ne?" Pǔ sù yán kàn jiàn Yǐn xián hé Lǐ jū lì zài nà li yā diǎo shēng yīn liáo tiān, lèng le yī xià.

  Translation:

  "Julie, what are you doing?" Pu Su-yeon saw Yun Hyun and Lee Joo-ri whispering to each other there, and was taken aback for a moment.

  "This thing I didn't hide from Soo-yeon," Lee Joo-ri said to Yoon Hyun. "She's in the same room as Eun-jung."

  Standing at the door, Park Soo-young immediately understood what Lee Joo-ri was saying and then looked deeply into Yoon Hyun's eyes.

  "Thank you too, Soo-yeon." Yoon Hyun also bowed to Park Soo-yeon. All three sisters have the same idea... No wonder they're all so obedient. But... did Bora really guess it herself?

  "Julie, I'm going out to buy some things. Do you want to come with me? Anyway, you can't help much here." Park Soo-yeon winked at Yoon Hyun and gave a smile, then didn't say anything more to him.

  "Alright. Anyway, I won't be of any use to Yoon Hyun here either." Lee Joo-ri was also not polite at all.

  "Alright, go then. Remember to come back at mealtime, or else I'll only be able to cook ramen for you." Yoon Hyun also said with a careless smile. Being able to avoid Lee Joo-ri's interrogation was still good.

  Then the two girls went out together.

  After a while, Yoon Hyun was tidying up the chopped vegetables when he suddenly heard light footsteps behind him.

  "Ji-ah, I'm holding a kitchen knife here." Yun Hyun didn't even turn his head.

  "Oppa, how did you know it was me?"

  "It's only you who is so bored. Go, help me wash those few crabs." Yoon Hyun commanded the over-energized little dinosaur.

  "Oppa, you're bullying me. Just now, Hyo-min eonni and Kyul-kyung eonni came in and you didn't let them do anything." Park Ji-yeon pouted with a look of grievance on her face.

  "Who made you the boss? Do you even know what a boss does? It seems like your sisters have spoiled you rotten. Hurry up and get back to work!" Yoon Hyun continued to bicker with Park Ji-hyun, but his hands didn't stop working.

  But what happened next made Yin Xian a bit stunned.

  Park Ji-yeon, who looks like she's not good at cooking, is actually very skilled at handling ingredients. Yoon Hyun was just teasing her and trying to see her make a fool of herself while cleaning the crab, but she did it very neatly and efficiently.

  "Ji-ah, I wouldn't have thought you could cook!" Yun Hyun wasn't stingy with his praise for this young girl.

  "This isn't difficult at all." Park Ji-yeon unexpectedly didn't take advantage of the situation.

  "You're actually quite good like this, calm and quiet, why are you always so crazy?" Yun Xian suddenly sighed. Then he felt like he had said the wrong thing again...

  The atmosphere became very awkward again.

  After a while, Ham Eun-jung also entered the kitchen, but she didn't say a word. Seeing Park Ji-yeon and Yoon Hyun preparing to cook, she turned around and left immediately.

  "Enjing ou ni bie zou!" translates to "Don't go, Enjing Ou!"

  "What's wrong?" Ham Eun-jung was taken aback by Park Ji-yeon's call.

  "Come help Yoon Hyun OPPA with cooking, I'm going to the restroom..."

  Haeun Jeong looked at Park Ji-yeon with a bit of speechlessness as she burst out of the kitchen with a mischievous grin, and even closed the kitchen door behind her...
