Peninsula: Start with the nephew of the soy sauce bottle

Chapter 3 Crying Girl

Park Jingxu was kicked out as expected.

He seemed to understand Agassi's bad temper, and he didn't even give him a chance to clarify the misunderstanding.

What's more important is that all the time and effort spent previously were wasted.

He didn't even have time to look for goods!

The young man stood in front of this two-story hut without even a signboard, shook his head helplessly, sighed and turned to leave.

But before he had taken a few steps, a voice calling his name came from behind him. Park Jingxu looked back and saw that it was Liu Xuan who was chasing after him.

The girl apologized with folded hands.

"Miane, Abba's temper is too bad."

Park Jingxu rolled his eyes at this.

"Nu Na, I always thought your words might be exaggerated, but now... I kind of believe it."

Park Kyung Wook was of course referring to the fact that this uncle Liu Shengxi could hit people.

The girl smiled awkwardly.Before, she might have complained about her father without hesitation, but after experiencing the eye contact just now, she instinctively didn't want to embarrass the other person.

Although her father has already made her lose face.

However, Park Jingxu is not a person who cannot distinguish between right and wrong. Although he is dissatisfied with Agassi, he will not take his anger out on the girl.

After expressing his attitude, the little knot between the two people was eliminated, and the somewhat awkward atmosphere returned to normal instantly.

Then the two exchanged contact information and separated.

It took an hour to return to Gangnam Cheongdam-dong from Jongno-gu. By this time, the sky was already dark, but there were no stars visible in the night sky of S City, only a single crescent moon hanging in it.

He also lives in Cheongdam-dong, not far from JYP's building.

The original intention of choosing this place was of course to make it easier to commute between the company and home. After all, he would often use the company's facilities, such as practice rooms and recording studios.

This allows him to have more time to devote to music and not waste too much on transportation.

Recently I can even live alone.

Maybe it's because he has been relatively independent since he was a child, so his parents were worried but didn't object.

My parents are the kind of people who just let their children go. They are a lawyer and a university professor, both of whom are very busy people.When he was young, his career didn't develop and he spent more time together. But as Park Jingxu gets older, on the one hand, having a precocious child makes people worry about it. On the other hand, his career has improved, so he has increased his investment.The three of them gradually became less together and more apart, and this situation became even worse when Park Kyung Wook became a child star.

To be fair, he probably doesn't spend as much time with his parents as he does with his uncle.

But this does not mean that his parents' concern for him will decrease.

They just understand that the child has his own ideas, and they just need to give him enough space and play the role of companion.

When the popularity dropped a few years ago, his parents proposed the idea of ​​Park Kyung Wook temporarily putting down music and focusing on his studies.

If his comeback on the Internet hadn't saved him, his parents wouldn't have compromised so quickly.

After all, the best way to convince parents is performance.

So he proposed to move out alone, which was naturally agreed. In order to express support, his parents also bought him a small apartment near the company.

"You can't live up to the trust of my father and my mother..."

Standing in front of the JYP building, Park Kyung Wook muttered to himself.

He came to the company because he wanted to practice his musical instrument more.

Stay sensitive to music, and maybe inspiration will come to you - so my uncle said.

You must not sing or play in the apartment, otherwise you will be complained about disturbing the residents.

The company does not have this problem. There are many people doing the same thing as him.

Park Kyung-wook walked along the aisle with his guitar on his back. He greeted the staff he met and everyone responded positively.Whether it is his status as the boss's nephew or his handsome and polite image, he is loved by everyone.

But Park Jingxu still noticed the forced smiles on everyone's faces. He understood why, but he knew there was nothing he could do.

The company's situation in recent years has been somewhat unfavorable, with internal and external difficulties.

Rain, the pillar star of the company, left the company; former president Hong Seung-sung left with a group of key people to start his own business; this year, Park Jin-young took WG to the United States amidst a lot of opposition, but the results were not ideal; and Park Jin-young was personally involved in Divorce turmoil.

There are many strong rivals such as Girls' Generation and 2ne1 emerging.Especially the former, "Gee" became a hit across the country and swept overseas, quite like last year's "Nobody".

This has led to everyone being generally pessimistic about the company's prospects, and people's hearts have become a little unstable.

"A troubled autumn..."

Park Jingxu sighed, he couldn't do anything.

He doesn't like this feeling of powerlessness. It may not necessarily play a decisive role, but at least it must be able to help.

Over the years, JYPE has become my second home, and I can’t afford to watch my family fall apart.

However, there is no point in thinking more now. The first priority is still to improve oneself.

The competition in the performing arts industry of Peninsula is very fierce. If you stand still, no one will wait for you.

Thinking of this, Park Jingxu cleared his complicated thoughts and walked towards the practice room where he often went.

Usually there is an entrance hall between the practice room and the corridor in the building, mainly to prevent excessive music from disturbing others and to prevent peeping.

Standing outside the entrance, Park Jingxu found that the lights were on inside.

"Why is there someone inside?"

Park Jingxu was a little puzzled.

This practice room can be said to be his own practice room. Even if he is not there, no one would dare to occupy it. This is something that the entire company knows and maintains a tacit understanding of.

He put a lot of personal belongings inside. Although they were not valuable, he didn't want anyone to touch them.

Could it be that some people thought he had kept a low profile recently and took the opportunity to cause trouble?

If so, he wouldn't mind giving the other party some color.

Pu Jingxu sneered twice, and approached the door on tiptoe.There is a small window on the door to see the scene inside.

First confirm the target, it is best to take two photos, so as not to leave room for sophistry.

However, the scene in the practice room was somewhat unexpected.

It was a new face, and it was a girl.

"It should be a new trainee."

Park Kyung Wook has a good memory and will remember him whenever he meets someone.However, this person does not exist in my memory. He must be a new trainee who recently arrived.

His height doesn't look too short, it should be said that he is above average.The facial features are not so strong, with an oval face shape, but there is more collagen on the face, making it look fleshy.In addition, the eyes are narrow and small, and there are beautiful lying silkworms.

However, he looks several years older than me, and his facial features are closer to those of an adult.Being a new trainee is a bit old.As far as he knew, many trainees started practicing between the ages of ten and fifteen.

Maybe he was a trainee transferred from another company, but Park Jingxu felt that it was unlikely. He would not take over other people's works because of his uncle's pride.

Park Jingxu probably knew that occupying the practice room was just an unintentional move by the other party. Maybe no one reminded her of this. After all, the relationship between the trainees would not be much better if they were not in a group.

But no matter what, he took it, and Park Jingxu would not choose to tolerate it because of ignorance.

So he opened the door and walked in.

"this……"

"ah!"

Park Jingxu was rudely interrupted before he could say anything.Then the other party walked up to him angrily.

"Why did you come in without knocking? Didn't you see anyone inside?"

"I……"

"Looking at you, you should be younger than me. Don't you know how to respect your seniors?"

"But……"

"But what? Boy, you don't think I'm easy to bully after I've only been here a few months, do you?"

The young man stopped talking. He admitted that his anger affected his rationality, and it was indeed impolite to push the door open without permission.

And even though the girl opposite her spoke in a milky voice, her expression on her face was unexpectedly scary.

But what's even more terrifying is the next scene.

"I know you Seoulites look down on country girls like me, but I have already given in a lot. If you think I will continue to swallow my anger, you are totally wrong!"

The girl raised her legs high to take the blow, and Park Jingxu immediately heard a loud and clear "click" sound.

He looked down, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead involuntarily.

Several long and narrow cracks were clearly visible on the solid wooden floor - if this kick had fallen on him, his bones would have become like this.

Park Jingxu felt that his intrusion might have been a bit hasty.He decided to explain a few words, otherwise he might not be able to leave the room.

"You misunderstood! I didn't mean any harm! Anyway, I'm sorry first!"

This sentence is almost the fastest speech rate in Park Kyung Wook's history. At that moment, he felt that using it in rap would definitely challenge the outsider (NH's fastest rapper).

After saying that, he noticed that the girl's expression gradually changed from gloomy to clear. Although she was still frowning, she was no longer so angry.

The other person stared at him for several seconds before speaking, sounding a little frustrated and uninterested.

"Forget it, let's go."

After saying that, the girl turned her back to him and sat down in a daze, not knowing what she was thinking.

Park Jingxu naturally did not dare to offend the opponent and quickly exited the practice room without warning.

He stood at the door a little confused, because he had nowhere to go.

The number of practice rooms is limited. Even if JYPE is a big company, it is still a carrot and a pitfall.After debuting artists are given priority, it will be the trainees' turn.As one of the top three companies in the industry, JYP naturally has a large number of trainees.

Among them, the trainees with debut hope and high ranking will be given priority according to the monthly test results.The rest will be the turn of new and lower-ranking trainees.And most of the time they are used together, only a privileged person like Park Kyung Wook can monopolize a practice room.

From what the girl just said, it is easy to tell that as a new trainee from the countryside, she has been made difficult and bullied by some seniors.She tolerated everything only in exchange for the other party getting worse, until Park Jingxu was the last straw that broke the camel's back and the other party finally broke out.

Park Jingxu sympathized with the other party's experience. All he could do was say hello to the staff managing the trainees and stop this behavior.

However, it was always uncomfortable to have this kind of thing happen to him. After learning about it, he lost interest in practicing.

"Let's rest today."

The girl who just vented her emotions really needs some space to be alone.

Normally when he was about to leave, a burst of sobbing suddenly came from inside.

Park Jingxu's footsteps stopped, and the girl's intermittent words came from the practice room.

He couldn't hear clearly, and only heard words such as "Abba", "I don't want to stay anymore", "It feels so uncomfortable", "I want to go back" and so on.He glanced through the small window on the door. He couldn't see the other person clearly with his back turned, but his posture seemed like he was talking on the phone.

The call lasted almost an hour, and Pu Jingxu also stayed outside the door for almost an hour.

There was an obvious trembling cry in the girl's voice at the beginning, but as the conversation progressed, it gradually became calmer, and in the end she even started talking and laughing with the person on the other end of the phone.

Park Jingxu was also relieved.

He was not going to rush forward and play the role of comforter.

Thanks to the training he received in the entertainment industry, Park Kyung Wook has a very precise control over social distance - the two of them have never met, and he has no reason or qualification to do so.

Everyone will have a bad mood sometimes, and being alone is also a good medicine.

Just as he stood up to leave, his legs and feet suddenly felt a little weak.After looking at his phone, he realized the passage of time - Park Jingxu felt that he was really crazy, and he didn't know why he stayed there for so long through this door.

After finally hanging up the phone, he felt that the girl had calmed down and put her hand on the door handle, when he heard crying again, this time in an intensified manner.

His steps paused again.

"Axi... actually let this happen to me."

Park Jingxu scratched his hair in distress.Facing a girl's cry for the first time, he was a bit at a loss as an inexperienced person.

But he felt that he could not turn a blind eye, and it was not his style to walk away.

But what can I do?

There was no result after thinking hard, which made him as anxious as an ant on a hot pot.

Suddenly he saw the guitar in his arms, and he was instantly blessed.

correct!music!And music!

Only music can achieve spiritual communication and accurately express his thoughts without using any words.

So his fingers began to pluck the strings.

"Hey~
What's the matter with your head? yeah
Hey~
What's the matter with your mind and your sign?
Hey~
Nothin's a matter with your head, baby, find it
Come on and find it
Hell, with it, baby, cause you're fine and you're mine."

The only reason I chose this song "Come And Get Your Love" is that the rhythm is relaxed and cheerful, and it is suitable for guitar playing.

Park Kyung Wook hopes that his playing and singing can cheer up the other person a little bit.

Cheering is the only thing he can do.

What made Park Jingxu a little unhappy was that after he started singing a cappella, the crying inside became a little louder.

For a moment there was a mixture of strings, singing and crying.People outside are singing and people inside are crying.

This situation lasted throughout the whole song, and it was not until the song was played that the crying inside gradually weakened until it disappeared.

But there was no sound again.

Park Jingxu also remained silent, and the scene suddenly fell silent.

His thoughts wandered a little.

He could vaguely hear the sound of music coming from outside. Park Jingxu remembered that there were several practice rooms nearby, not too far apart or too close.But he could still hear it. How high did these people turn up their speakers?
But maybe we can't blame them, after all, this building was renovated very early, and many places were not soundproofed.

Pu Jingxu waited for a while, and when he saw that there was no more crying, he walked out.

He thought it would be cool to just play a song and then leave in a carefree manner, just like the swordsman duel in Chinese martial arts novels, drawing the sword, swinging the sword, sheathing the sword, and leaving.He won't look at his opponent for a second time.

A 14-year-old boy will always have some second-rate ideas.

As a result, he was caught off guard when the practice room door suddenly opened.

The boy had just excitedly imitated MJ's classic pose of covering his crotch, lifting his hips and then raising his hands in "Smooth Criminal", and the next moment his eyes met.

The scene was very embarrassing.
