I’m still confused AF at why he is asking for NJH’s advice on both of the potential projects that we know has been offered to him.  One is about someone in the military having aspirations of going to space.  Did uri JiHyun enlist to serve in the SoKo military and we didn’t know about it? Dude just walked out of a military base with 21 months of experience! What possible advice could she give him? Lol!  

 

The other one is a romcom....how complicated can the plot be unless he’s asking for permission?  I was initially wary about the romcom one (not cause I can’t watch him romance someone else. I understand that’s his job), but because the chemistry in SP was so explosive that I don’t know if he could recreate that again with someone other than JiHyun.  

 

If they are indeed a couple and want to wait for the right time to confirm and announce, I’m really really really concerned about Wook.  I don’t think he’s gonna make it....

Now see this one, to me I think the future projects that Wookie will accept would have us all thinking, did Hyunnie help him pick this? Or for every script he turned down, we are gonna wonder why it didn't pass LOL. Or if he gets a new project, we are gonna watch it and remember that it could possibly be Hyunnie approved, so we are gonna check out the kiss scenes or bed scenes if there are any, and see how he will perform on this. Roflmao! The reporters could also do that, ask him at his every project if he has checked out the script with Hyunnie  this interview will haunt him for his entire career! LOL!

Soooooo.......kind of like what a husband and wife would do for each other? Lol...sorry I couldn’t resist. 

 

Spoiler

And if some dumb dumb out there says this is what brothers and sisters do, I’m gonna slap their mama and not feel the least bit remorseful! Lmao!

Now THIS is gold! I’m giving into my *delulu* for just a teeensy bit and say that H did run HDMP with W before committing to the role, then asking H for her help in script reviews for Wookie’s comeback project (as we all know) speaks volumes of how close they are - whether a clear-cut agreement or a mutual understanding was reached to clear future topics with each other. 

 

Rationally, colleagues/professionals do this all the time - just last week I asked an admired and respected peer to review a couple of projects I wanted to take on; but for life-changing decisions?? I consult my HUSBAND. ❤️

Lmao I totally feel you dearie! Is it even normal for Hyunie to help her ex-costar with his script and Wookie to ask his youngest co-star to help him with his next project?  

Btw girls don’t be surprised if you catch Wookie and Hyunie red handed. They are just discussing the script you know 

 

 

Lmao he began his answer with “Ahh.... Ji”  but paused  abruptly and began once again while stuttering with the “visiting… visiting…”. I think he was about to say "Ahh... Jihyuni" kekeke. You can hear it at the very beginning of the his interview kekeke 

 

 

Wookie agreeing with the reporter that hyunie helped him with the script of his upcoming project.

Gosh why does he look so smitten!! 

 

 

Lmao I couldn’t resist!!  

 

 

*Me* right now 

 

PS: I gotta say that wookie beat song Joonki in the Goner department. 

 

Thank you @adi2019jiji for the vid unnie! <3

@masthu Btw girls don’t be surprised if you catch Wookie and Hyunie red handed. They are just discussing the script you know 

 

Discussing the script? ORRR.. *delulu reappears* practicing their lines?? Wouldn’t it be fireworks-worthy if H takes a part in his comeback project, even on cameo? Not sure what our dedicated college student is up to nowadays (aside from spending quality time with W), but for sure, all sorts of theories will be discussed as to just how much involvement they both had in the selection of each other’s much anticipated future works.

My two cents on this recent 'nuclear bomb' that we have received.

    It has literally blown my mind out into space! And believe it or not, I am still gathering my thoughts. My boy Wookie was calm and collected as he stood at the gates of Cheorwon. I have seen that his hiatus from the K-biz gave him some respite. He looked like some confident military man who is out to conquer the world.

    Suddenly, this reporter asks him this hanging question, that was left when he entered into service, will Hyunnie visit him at Cheorwon? And BOOM! This confident and collected military man was reduced to a flustered, almost giddy persona who rambled off his answer without considering the repercussions of his response. LOL! His demeanour was like a  guy who was asked about a very special person in his life that his entire aura has changed. He smiled so much that his eyes crinkled. He may have shown some nervousness but all it all, it didn't seem as if he was in any way uncomfortable about the topic at hand. 

 

Now here is the dilemma that I cannot wrap my head around in. His statements were so jumbled up together that it was obviously clear that he was talking about two different scenarios.

 

    He (Wookie) didn't consider it visiting per se, he said that they saw each other at the musical and talked briefly after. Okay granted that, the next question was, did he tell his army pals about it. He said no, because the system only allowed the visitor to see who they want to visit (?). I got lost in translation here. But moving on, I was like huh? What the heck is he talking about? He mentioned a system, I didn't know there was a system that existed in meet and greet at musicals.  Then he continued to ramble on about her helping him with scripts, was this the musical scripts (?) but he himself debunked it and said it was for future projects. . I didn't even know when they had time to study scripts if they only met briefly, so there was another time for them when they studied it? One cannot say you studied something if the meeting was very brief was it?  Chincha, this boy! I dunno what to think, and say except that he is literally gone, the moment her name was mentioned, he was like a star that shined and blinked so bright in the sky that it was undeniable. Was he subtly, wait erase the subtleness,  openly telling us that Hyunnie had and will have a bit of a hand in deciding which dramas he will take or accept?

 

   And amidst all these, I cannot wrap it around my head, if this was how their relationship goes, be it as friends or more than friends, it certainly is off to a good start. I can see that he trusts her judgement and despite the age gap, her opinion seem to rank high on his list.  I  was way too excited to see where the road takes them. I can delulu that I wish they would be marching down the aisle *sshhh you delulus* but I cannot really say what is in their future. Only that it looks promising. We the Namji shippers don't have to do anything at all but wait and see. They are the ones steering this ship. It seems that they need no help from us! 

 

 

Unnie!!!  *waves*

Aigoo now the entire world knows that Hyunie visited him at Cherwon! It’s so hilarious how he let the cat out of the bag! 

Then again poor boy can’t help it since he’s such a Jigoner. 

Gosh boy looks so happy just by talking about Jihyunie which later became Jihyunshi.  

 

LMAO at the system   Shhhh I mean the System at Cherwon !

Loooove this!! This ship ROCKS!! I’m falling in love with all of you!!!!

 

Saw the posts earlier as I was distantly observing the happenings in NamJiland now that he’s been discharged.

 

Prrrroooobably not what Manager Bang expects, too. Or at the very least, not the loopy response he gave the world. 

 

Adding to the RL line:

 

*BCG mouth open in shock/disbelief/happiness .. hits head on nearest available surface.. REPEATEDLY*

 

[grabs phone.. hurriedly dials]

 

BCG: ahhhh.. JiHyun.. so in the interview....

 

(*back to lurking*)

 

Welcome on board dearie!!

I'm so loving your FF's  and @ptp321 @gglex6275 ones too!! You girls are jjang 

Please don't go back to lurker mode! We would love to read your take about NamJi, their bts and the latest bomb.

The funny thing is if the next time he has to ans another question relating H.. and he goes back to the calm and composed well prepared ji chang wook.. lmao. We can second guess its either he got schooled when it comes to H or his jagiya helped him with it. 

 

You still trust him? Lmao I bet even Hyunie wouldn't trust Jigoner anymore

 

[daloula]

Lmao I hope for both of them that he can do better and stay calm and composed in his following interviews. No more incoherent sentences, stuttering and uncontrollable smiling. I mean it gives us shippers cute moments, pics and gifs but it probably gives them and their teams a lot of PR headaches

You are so right. 

There is no way there won't be more slip-ups. 

 

Have also seen a couple of reports that he is taking 'Melt with Me' (the romcom). Including this one:

 

 

Now we just have to wait for *her* next project rumours/announcement!

I would’ve believed this was possible before April 27, 2019, but if yesterday was any indication, this boy is a GONER!  I don’t have high hopes for his self control.

So true! It’ll take a creative PR maneuver to contain the underlying message of that interview. LOL.

I mean this time he was caught off guard as he just stepped out of the base so maybe the next time he would be more prepared and can at least have an idea of the questions that will be thrown at him specially those involving Hyunnie. Maybe the smile would still be hard to contain but at least the content could make a bit more sense

Thank you for the warm welcome, unnie!! This is super fun! 

 

My ‘lurker’ cap’s gone for good. LMAO. Imma sail proudly with all of you from now on, so you can add me to this ship’s proverbial passenger list. Wooot wooot!!!

 

I’ll share my personal journey to NamJiland once RL is less hectic for its bound to be a LONG post! Hahahaha.. but count me in moving forward. But I’ll say this, being schooled in observing nuances of human behavior and social interactions, our Captains are on another level!!

 

So excited for what’s coming next! *hugs*

True that dearie. Jigoner has a lot of toning down to do. But boy he's like a loose cannon whenever someone name drops hyunie and his eyes are all panchak panchak.

Lmao remember SSC dearie? They were a hot mess too especially joonki!  

Seriously love makes you do crazy things kekeke...

Lmao the mere thought of them discussing the script is making me want to go all byeontae. (NamJi corrupted me big time!)

I would love to see them together in another project but I think there's a low chance of that happening but hey never say never. 

Right now we need to save enough money bcz if God wills and NamJi drops another bomb we should be prepared to take off to Korea asap hahaha

But....he’s been in controlled environments and interviews before and look how that turned out? Lol!

 

1. SP Press conference where he could not pry his eyes away.

2. SP Press conference where he blurted out that she was sexy.

3. Hanbam interview where JiHyun was praising him while he was a pile of goo and it was supposed to be his interview. (Ok, this was sort of an impromptu interview, but I don’t care, I just wanna mention it again.) Hahaha.

4. MBC Section interview!

5. His own Jiscovery concert where he’s mesmerized at his own scenes with her and singing out to the “yeppo” part.

 

I’m not disagreeing with you, I just wanted an excuse to re-live his crazy moments.

Are you telling me to just give up on his calm and control when it comes to hyunnie? I really thought these two years would be enough to tone him down but seems like the case is just getting worse

Ok I'm off to bed. Thanks for all the lovely posts and can't wait to see what May might bring for our co-captains... to send you into a bit of a heart flutter...

PART 15

 

From a cosmic perspective, the universe may or may not be sparing an afterthought to the tiny magnet-ball whizzing along minding its own business, but zooming in all the way through infinite space down to the east half of the said ball, quite a bit has been happening for the little souls to whom such concerns matter. Definitely moi, for one. History shall bear witness that Nia, circa 27^th April 2019 AD, was found during the course of the entire day to have been frothing at the mouth and gibbering a rather questionable version of the good ol’ carol…. during Easter season.

 

A stanza for the benefit of the curious:

 

Good shippers all rejo-o-oice!

With heart and soul and vo-o-ice!

Listen now to what we say,

News! News!

Sergeant Wookie’s out today!

Seas and ships before him bow,

As he explodes love bombies now.

Wookie’s out today-ay! Wookie’s out today!

 

Not my proudest moment, I frankly admit, but that hardly mattered, for there was so much else to be gratified about. After 621 yards, honorably discharged Sergeant Ji Chang Wook returned to civilian life decorated with high achievement accolades. Starting from basic training, then through the ranks embodying the spirit of patriotic fervor as Dong Kyu, the whole course of his enlistment was a boundless service to his motherland, the best way he knew how to. What a son! What a man! He promised to do his best, and delivered in spades.

 

As for me, I promised to wait patiently, wait trustingly, wait the best way I knew how to. Seems like I did a pretty good job of it myself, if the reward of the wait is any indication.

 

As a shipper, I couldn’t have been more blessed than to have found JiJi. Their story might as well have been spun with fairy yarn for all the spectacular drama in it. Even the temporary separation brought its own charm and lessons for the couple and for their cheerleaders. I went in rest assured, as would anybody when bombarded with BTS Kiss MV at concerts, lovesick IVs, and promises to hypothetical yeojachingu. I stayed rest assured, as would anybody when buried in Director’s Cuts featuring the kind of osculation that’s guaranteed to render your spine to spaghetti and knees to jelly. Not to mention the staring, smiling, cuddling, caressing, petting, nuzzling, licking, biting, pulling, panting,…. um, well, the point I wished to make was that there was plenty of material and time gifted rather generously to stay comforted that JiJi had an association that was here to stay.

 

Mushy factors aside, there was one pivotal argument that bought my faith unreservedly.

 

Ji Chang Wook. More to the point, his belief, willingness, tenacity, determination, and the glorious point in his life when Nam Ji Hyun finally met him as his equal. He came to know her well during that time of his life when he was fully grown and capable of mastering the strings of attachment along with everything else he has and wants. Once he began to know her, he became determined to learn more. The more he learned, the more tenaciously he held onto everything that Hyunnie came to mean to him. The more she meant, the greater his willingness to be bound to her. The closer they bound, the deeper his belief grew- in his own constancy, in her inimitable strength, in their compelling destiny.

 

And perhaps these realizations are all the more potent in the light of the fact that each stance is equally true from his lady’s perspective, for she, in her turn, always matched his steps unerringly.

 

Nam Ji Hyun. The brilliant, charismatic, genuine and fascinating creature who basks in his adoration. And by whose virtue, I was able to finally see the beast that dwelt within her man’s heart. That which could feed its own wants unreservedly, fulfill hers immeasurably, possess while being possessed. That which could protect and keep to the end, destroy anything that dared threaten its own.

 

I saw it in him, when he first kissed her. Then in numerous moments until the drama was over and the moment of reckoning was at hand. With an almost devious cunning and will, skillfully sheathed in affability, he drew the lines, made his mark, told the world. Ji Chang Wook and Nam Ji Hyun. Nam Ji Hyun and Ji Chang Wook. Thoughts of the entire world became speculations, rumors, probes, questions and curiosities, all closed in on JiJi, yet not one took form, not one touched them, especially her, not when he wills otherwise.

 

I witnessed him take hits on himself, saw him bear the ones that were not even earmarked for him. I can testify that he emerged all the stronger out of them. He knows she can do likewise, without a doubt, but there won’t be any experiments on his watch. He hasn’t even let a shadow of a query fall upon them yet, where either of them has to answer for something that is nobody’s business but theirs alone.

 

He enlisted making sure their bond stayed safe. He entrusted it to her protection with immense faith in their devotion to each other. He saw to it that the world acknowledged her association with him beyond their professional obligations, distancing it enough at the same time so all know they are not allowed in in any manner whatsoever, not even as a clickbait inquiry.

 

Now, I come out of the wait more assured than ever. Mere weeks before his discharge, he picked up exactly where he left off.

 

If not for Hyunnie and Aluu CEO-nim posting about the musical visit, I’d hazard a guess that the whole affair could have been well-shrouded. To the best of my knowledge, except for one solitary twitter post stating that the person spotted Hyunnie at the musical and a picture of Wook with a bunch of ladies, literally nothing emerged from that evening show. Thus it’s not much of a stretch to reason out that Hyunnie’s and CEO’s posts were deliberate. It’s still more probable that JiJi decided it so.

 

Wook knows his comeback project discussions have become public even before his discharge… and wants those discussions to stay in the professional lane. People wanna talk about my future works, future co-stars, anticipation of all the different chemistries and such? Sure, let them, by all means… as long as they know it’s my work. Don’t confuse it with my personal life. That begins and ends with this lady.

 

 

Pretty sure he got her the tickets. Pretty sure he had her chaperoned by their closest yet least controversial mutuals, both being CEOs of the salon. There was literally no hypothesis anybody could draw on seeing the two CEO onnies that would’ve negated, diminished or sidelined the fact that Hyunnie went to support Wookie (which might have been a different story had any other of their mutual acquaintances gone with her). Pretty sure he ensured that no one forgot he was in Hyunnie’s orbit as ever and he could do without another article about dating rumors with someone else, thank you very much.

 

 

Hyunnie’s post not only became the last word in #armygirlfriendgoals, but also provided definite response material for Wook when he left the service and got the visitation question wherever he turned.

 

Starting with this one:

 

Vid credit to the owner and English translation credit to @riririru

 

 

 

He had not even cleared the military base boundaries. Barely walked out, waved and greeted, said he wanted to eat a delicious meal and get back in shape and waited for the brief media Q&A with a smile. Mere seconds passed and not even a fractional measure of his boot-prints had imprinted upon the X spot before a Korean Merida shot the arrow many wanted to, but few dared.

 

Reporter: Did Nam Ji Hyun-shi come to visit you?

God bless her brave soul. She didn’t even ask how the past 20 odd months had been. The memory of the bomb was so fresh in the collective Korean minds that I could see in Ji Chang Wook’s eyes he was not really surprised. He knew it was coming, just not this soon. He had the answer ready, but hadn’t taken the time to phrase it and practice beforehand.

 

Wook: Visit… I don’t think it can be considered as a visit, but we got to see each other briefly. She came to watch when I was doing the musical, we greeted each other that time.

Point to Wook. Excellent strategy. All focus regarding visitation became centered on the one event that was public knowledge. The entire reference point of his answer was based on the musical meeting. If she has visited him in Cheorwon, it’s not for us to know. If he visited her during his off days, well, the reporter never asked him that, did she?

 

I personally found his stance very confident with regards to ‘what’ he was prepared to say. The question was bound to pop up at a fanmeeting, Vlive, IV, magazine shoot, etc. He didn’t have time to polish it quite well though, but should someone ask him the same thing at a later date, we might get to see the refined version.

 

Emcee: What did the other soldiers say about that?

Wook: I didn’t tell them that I met her.

In other words, it is nobody’s frickin’ business but ours what we do when we meet.

 

Also, whether it’s his friends in Cheorwon or among the musical cast & crew, Wook doesn’t want other people’s words in his mouth regarding comments about him and Hyunnie in a merged context. Maybe in private, he may or may not speak to his trusted bunch about them as a pair, but the crowds on the other side of the line are not going to hear it from him, at least not now. That’s a dangerous venture because it would leave him out in the open as a target for more questions he does not want to answer now. Maybe his army buddies did speak to him about Hyunnie even if they didn’t meet her, but any loose threads would unravel his intentions to ‘say so far and no further.’

 

Emcee: Why? Why?

Wook: Since the system only allowed the visitors to meet the person they wanted to meet.

Which would’ve been rather convenient for JiJi in every sense, I have to admit. If they didn’t speak much to others about their meeting, they have to answer fewer questions and divulge even less.

 

All things considered, the general consensus reasons out that such a visitors system prevails only in the actual camp—in this case Cheorwon—and it’s a very good probability, since Wook doesn’t want to touch the topic of a visit there with a ten-foot pole. Or maybe he wants us to discern such an implication without him having to spell it out and put himself on yet another spot. On the other hand, considering the occurrence on 12^th April, I wouldn’t put it past Wook to have somehow managed to speak to Hyunnie alone before or after the musical. I mean, except for a handful of people, no one managed to interact with the cast on that singularly strange day. It’s JiJi after all, no wild is too wild for them.

 

Emcee: What did you talk with her?

Wook: I asked Ji Hyun to help me with the script, since she is very good at it. I remember asking her that.

Emcee: Ah, for your next project?

Wook: Yes, yes.

On a side note, the lady reporter might as well have bought lottery tickets that day. All she had to do was nerve herself up for the first question and the rest of the info fell into her lap for free. The Emcee couldn’t have been more enthusiastic about having finally gotten Wook around that particular bend and finished the slew of questions with a tremendous climax that bears upon literally all of the questions and answers above this final one. They are all a ‘read-between-the-lines’ for this one, solitary response.

 

We have never stopped talking, never stopped trusting, never stopped loving…. so much that she remains in me, and I in her. She is where I can be found, I where she can be.

 

Recall the faith in Wook that I spoke of way above? The clever and dangerous beast that guards this bond beyond all earthly considerations? Those realizations stem from one source of testimony. It is that Ji Chang Wook always speaks about Nam Ji Hyun being present in his future. During the drama, he spoke of his need for her support during conscription. Now that his service is done, he openly declares her place in the next chapter of his life, one of her many roles being a sounding board for his professional decisions that are soon to follow, which imply that Wook has already denied any other links to himself before the journey has even resumed again. Wherever he is, he can see Hyunnie with him there…. and further too. He means to keep her, she means to stay and sooner or later, God willing, a future would arrive where the two forever become one.
