Now that we are all in Tochigi Prefecture, it seems that we must go to member Honda Hitomi’s home.
But IZ*ONE has a lot of people.
If you add the accompanying filming staff, the number of people they will visit will become very large, reaching a point where it will be difficult for an average family to accommodate.
Fortunately, the program team contacted Honda Hitomi's family early in the morning, and only with the permission of herself and all her family members did we make this visit.
On the way to her home, Hitomi Honda briefly explained the structure of her home.
"So, Hitomi has an older brother and an older sister at home?"
"Um."
"Wow, I'm so happy. They must have been supporting you Hitomi, right?"
The members let out envious sighs.
Generally speaking, if you are in the idol industry, if you have brothers and sisters at home, they are often the first fans. After all, family support is always the key to taking the first step.
Everyone started a discussion around Honda Hitomi's family. Just as they were getting excited about talking, the car suddenly stopped again.
"Reached?"
"Seems to be."
Pei Yourong glanced out the window. There was a house not far from the car. The light inside shone through the window, making it still conspicuous in the night.
After getting off the car, the members consciously gave up their seats and let Hitomi Honda take the lead.
And when everyone was about to ring the bell, Nako Yabuki called everyone to stop again.
"Well, everyone, please wait a moment."
"Something needs attention."
"Everyone must remember to say hello after entering, and then never sit cross-legged. Try to sit on your knees or sideways."
After Nako Yabuki explained, everyone said "I understand" in unison.
Only then did they ring the doorbell.
It was Hitomi Honda's mother who came out to open the door.
"welcome everybody."
"Hello, aunt!"
The entrance hall of Hitomi Honda's house is by no means small, but even so, it is a bit difficult to completely fit the shoes of thirteen girls.
The members entered the entrance hall in batches. In a rush, everyone changed into slippers and put away their shoes.
Pei Yourong followed behind and entered the living room late.
In the living room, Honda Hitomi's family had been waiting for a long time. After the girls also saw it, another wave of greetings came out.
Before coming here, Hitomi Honda said that although she was active in Neon as an idol, no member of the group had ever been a guest in her home before.
This is the first time for IZ*ONE.
Around the big table in the living room, everyone sat on the cushions arranged on the tatami in a very orderly manner as promised.
And they didn't just buy things for themselves in the mall. After fully exchanging opinions, they also bought the necessary gifts for visiting.
They are all daily necessities such as aprons, not too many and not expensive.
Hitomi Honda's mother seemed to really like it.
"What a beautiful apron, thank you!"
After she finished speaking, she handed over another photo album.
No need to remind everyone, everyone guessed that this must be Honda Hitomi's photo album.
"Let's look for Hitomi, shall we?"
"It's so easy to find."
"This bread-faced one must be it!"
Pei Yourong stretched out her finger to press the photo album, and when she saw Hitomi Honda covering her mouth in surprise, she knew she had guessed it right.
After looking at the photo album, everyone briefly performed a stage from "pd48" in the living room with Hitomi Honda as the C position.
After the show, it was dinner time.
In order to provide dinner for more than a dozen people, the Honda family started preparing very early today. When they started setting the plates, Pei Yourong and Li Caiyan consciously went to the kitchen to help serve the dishes.
Dinner includes potato stew, curry and fried chicken.
Pei Yourong ate a lot of snacks in the afternoon, so she simply finished her share of the dinner and did not use her chopsticks after that. However, Zhang Yuanying next to her kept picking up food.
After dinner was finished, just when everyone thought it was over, Hitomi Honda's mother and sister brought two more cakes from the kitchen.
One for Hitomi Honda.
One for free IZ*ONE.
It's early October, and Hitomi Honda's birthday is on the 6th of this month. Since she has to go back to Korea for activities later, the Honda family plans to celebrate Hitomi's birthday in advance while Honda Hitomi returns home today.
The other cake given to IZ*ONE had the names of the members written all over it. According to Honda’s father, he ordered it from an Italian restaurant and it tasted very good.
Next, the Honda family gave the written letter to Hitomi Honda. IZ*ONE will be active for two and a half years. For the Neon members, this also means that they have to leave their families and go to another country to participate. for a long time.
Therefore, this letter is filled with messages to Honda Hitomi.
At the same time, Kwon Eun-bi also handed the letter written by their IZ*ONE to Honda Hitomi’s mother.
Since we have become teammates, of course everyone must help each other, so the purpose of this letter is to let Honda Hitomi's family not worry.
They will take good care of Hitomi Honda.
At this point, today’s visit is finally over.
…
The program team has booked a villa for everyone early in the morning, and they will rest here tonight.
When we arrived at our residence, everyone breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
After running all day, they can finally take a break. Although they still have shooting tasks, this is at least much easier than running outside.
"Everyone, why don't you change into your pajamas first?"
After everyone had almost put their luggage, Concubine Quan Eun shouted in the hall.
"Yourong, let's go!"
"Unnie, I want to lie down for a while."
Pei Yourong was lying on the tatami, not knowing whether it was because he was tired or something else, but he had no intention of moving at all.
"That's not okay." When Cui Ruina heard this, she immediately became unhappy.
She grabbed Pei Yourong's feet and dragged him into the bedroom.
"Stop, stop, stop."
"Then you go alone."
"Shall we eat the cake first? Otherwise it will melt."
Everyone has not eaten the cake that was brought from Honda Hitomi's house just now, and is now quietly placed on the table.
Ah, no.
The box has been opened.
Pei Yourong, who was on the ground, just turned his head and saw Jiang Huiyuan unpacking the cake box with a serious look on his face.
She didn't care about pretending to be dead anymore and quickly got up from the ground.
"Unnie, how could you eat it secretly!"
"Why are you stealing food? Why don't I just sit here?"
Jiang Huiyuan raised his head, with a trace of doubt on his serious face.
The conversation between the two quickly attracted others.
"Then let's eat the cake first." Quan Enfei passed the spoon around to make sure everyone had it before sitting down.
Everyone took one spoonful at a time, and the cake bottomed out quickly.
Especially with Pei Yourong, a sweet tooth, here.
But her speed was still not as fast as Jiang Huiyuan. When she ate two pieces, others had eaten three or four pieces.
Now, both of them set their sights on the last piece of cake at the same time.
Others had already noticed the two people eating at an unusual speed, so when faced with the last piece of cake, they tacitly chose to give up the fight.
While everyone was watching, Pei Yourong and Jiang Huiyuan reached out their hands at the same time and held down the piece of cake with their spoons.
The two looked at each other.
"Unnie, you've eaten enough."
"Aren't you the same?"
"How about half for one person?"
"Yes, yes, but who will divide it?"
"How about sharing it with my concubine, Oni?"
"Okay, then I'll count to three, two, and one, how about the two of us let go?"
"Nai, I listen to Ernie."
"Three two one."
Jiang Huiyuan finished reading "three two one" quickly.
But everyone found that she didn't let go at all.
"Yeah! Ernie!"
