()Chapter 78, a cup of cold coffee on the street corner

"You really decided?"

"Sorry, sunny~~"

The weather at the end of September has become extremely comfortable. It is undoubtedly a good choice to pass the time when you go shopping on a rest day, or sit on the bustling street and sip a cup of your favorite drink carefully.The open-air teahouse of a coffee shop in Sinsa-dong is located at the corner of a busy street. It is a quiet place amidst the hustle and bustle. It is indeed a good place for fashion girls to rest their feet after shopping.

The two young girls just sat opposite each other.The petite girl called "sunny" lowered her head slightly, holding a tin spoon in her right hand, stirring the Americano coffee that she didn't seem to drink much in front of her, her face looked dull, and her voice didn't appear What unnecessary feelings.

As for the other girl, who was dressed in bright colors, her hands were clasped together, and her head was so low that it almost touched the table.Listening to my good friend's indifferent response, while I felt bad, I hurriedly apologized resolutely, but the final ending sounded a little coquettish.

"Okay, I see." The little girl responded lightly, finally stopped stirring in her hand, and took a sip of the cold Americano coffee.He didn't swallow it right away, but let the brown liquid swirl in his tongue and throat.

Well, it's really bitter... It's like it's bitter in my heart.

"You? Got it?" The brightly dressed girl raised her head slightly, opened her eyes wide, and looked at the strange expression of this familiar friend in surprise, her voice was full of doubts.

"Yes, I see."

"You don't blame me?"

"What's your fault?"

"Hey, Shun Kyu." In response to her friend's strange reaction, the brightly dressed girl hurriedly called out the petite girl's real name.The girl quickly dragged her seat, moved to the little girl's side, put her arms around the girl's shoulders, carefully looked at the little girl's expression, and slowly said word by word: "I am now But betrayed our promise and decided to quit the company to become a trainee~!"

"What does it matter?" The little girl turned her head and gave her friend a fake toothy smile, "Since Shangmei left, I have been mentally prepared."

Could it be the preventive effect of Shangmei leaving first?

"I'm sorry~~" Thinking of another friend who left a month ago, the guilt of the brightly dressed girl became more and more obvious.

"There's nothing to be sorry about, it's your right to choose. Besides, everyone knows the company's current situation." The little girl's voice was still so calm, "Maybe it won't be a few days, and I won't be able to stay down."

"No, this belongs to your elder sister..." Halfway through speaking, the brightly dressed girl suddenly remembered the taboos that small girls have always had, so she quickly stopped talking, and then said again in a low voice, "I'm sorry..."

"My elder sister is the representative of the company. Here are the two of us. What's the relationship?" The little girl finally smiled for real this time, her beautiful lips spread naturally, revealing her white and neat teeth, and she continued to smile. Just a cute expression with squinting eyes. "Do you know how many times you've said sorry since we met today? Let others think I'm bullying you when they hear it."

"Sorry~~~"

"Haha~~" Seeing her friend's cute reaction, the little girl couldn't help bumping the silly girl sitting beside her with her forehead.

Although the little girl showed her bright sunny smile as before, the brightly dressed girl couldn't be happier.As two people who joined the company at the same time, they were the first to get acquainted with each other, and at the end they cherished each other, and became close friends with a common hobby. She could clearly feel that the little girl was smiling with a forced face at this time.

Sunny, sure enough you still care so much.

It was mentioned just now that the little girl's sister is an executive of the company. In fact, this topic itself is a taboo topic among girls' friends.

I remember that the little girl had just transferred from the Starlight Academy to the current company. Although the little girl seemed a little depressed and out of place when she first came, she was a child at heart after all, and immediately played with some girls of the same age. .But it was also because of the seemingly unruly attitude that he showed when he first came, which made many senior trainees dislike him.

As a result, one day, a trainee accidentally bumped into Lee Sooyoung, who was the company representative at the time, and Lee's father delivered boxed lunches to Lee Soon Kyu. Within two or three days, this story spread to all levels of the company.I still remember that because of this "rumor" that was accepted by default, the little girl was taken care of by many teachers intentionally or unintentionally at the beginning. For those praises and expressions of affirmation of her own strength, the young little girl inevitably behaved smug.As a result, those senior trainees who were already somewhat dissatisfied became even more displeased with the little girl.

Since then, the treatment of the little girl among the trainees has been a bit harsh.Gossiping and other things can only be regarded as the norm, and the little girl has received many ridicules and blames in private.Later, the little girl's father was transferred to take charge of the management of the trainees, and the criticism on the surface was much less.However, even with Li's father sitting on top, some secret tricks against the little girl are still inevitable.

Faced with these inexplicable harsh criticisms, the stubborn little girl never showed even the slightest weakness.She practiced hard, challenged her seniors without giving in, and dealt with all kinds of assessments with 120% spirit.But sometimes enthusiasm and hard work are not necessarily the experienced opponents of the seniors. After several "frames", not only did not improve the girl's situation, but was repeatedly reprimanded by the little girl's father who didn't know the truth, being aggressive and disrespectful Senior, the "crimes" are numerous.

However, Lee Soon Kyu never explained.

"Maybe, I should be quiet and face the world with a smile."

The brightly dressed girl still remembers that after the most noisy conflict broke out between the little girl and her father, she came to the company the next day and faced the condolences from her friends, the little girl responded with a bright smile.

Even though I was laughing, it felt like I was crying.

After that, the little girl seemed to grow ten years old overnight. She behaved more silently, but practiced harder and harder. Only when there were only a few close friends around, the little girl would Restore some of the enthusiasm of the past.

Friends all know that her heart is simmering, a fire.

At that time, including Lee Soon Kyu, the three closest partners formed a small hip-hop group "tintop" with an unyielding enthusiasm.The girls decided to sing to express their dissatisfaction with the injustice around them, just like their idol, h·o·t, once did.

It's a pity that when the three girls were so ambitious and wanted to let the entire Korean music industry and the whole society hear their voices, the entertainment agency they worked for suddenly started to go downhill.

There is no need to investigate this kind of thing. The trainees who train in the company every day can easily detect from some clues that the company is in dire straits.The trainee contract is not very binding, and the smart ones start to arrive late and leave early without reason, and secretly start to participate in some other company's trainee selection activities.To be more direct, he simply expressed his attitude and disappeared from the company completely.

Just a month ago, Shangmei, one of the three partners, left the company and left the company cleanly. It is said that she is now a trainee in jyp.As for myself, during dinner at home, while talking about Shangmei, I inadvertently slipped my mouth and talked about the company's recent poor conditions. This was suddenly noticed by my father who was in the mall. , the father, who was not interested in the entertainment industry at first, convinced his mother with the facts, so he also ordered himself to quit the company and devote himself to normal studies.

The former Iron Triangle, now I have to leave, as the last member of "tintop", but another identity is the daughter and sister of the company's executives, it is naturally impossible for a small girl to advance and retreat with her partners.It is estimated that Shangmei knew this at the beginning, so she left without discussing anything with the friends in the small group.

A small group that was established less than a year ago fell apart like this.

Now it's time for me to say goodbye. Facing the little girl sitting quietly beside me, the brightly dressed girl has a thousand things to say in her heart, but she doesn't know where to start.

The atmosphere froze like this until...

"Hallo, Shun Kyu, I kept you waiting."

The voice seemed familiar. The girl in bright clothes turned her head and saw that heroic figure that she would never forget. The girl was so frightened that she almost hid under the table.

In the end, she hadn’t put it into action yet, the little girl thought about it carefully, her application to terminate the contract had just been handed in, and sister Shun Kyu, who is the representative director of the company, probably didn’t know about this matter yet, she could still be said to be a trainee in the company, There is absolutely no need to panic.

Only then did the girl stabilize her mind, stood up, saluted respectfully and said, "Hello, Director Li."

"Hello, you are Shun Kyu's friend? Sit down." Li Yingui, the company representative who was carrying a big bag and a small bag, waved his hand in response casually, and then sat on the other side of his sister, "I don't want to call you just now. Accompanying me to the shopping mall, it turned out to be an appointment with a friend."

"Well, and going shopping with you is exhausting too much, Eun Kyu's mother." Lee Soon Kyu raised his eyebrows and said.

"Hey, even though I'm ten years older than you, I'm your older sister." Second Sister Li also raised her eyebrows.

"I know, then please call me sunny, you should know too." Lee Soon Kyu confronted.

"Is there such a thing? Live~~, we will discuss this issue later." Second Sister Li turned her head and began to sort out the harvest of today's shopping.

The representative of the company is sitting here, so it's not easy to talk about such troublesome things as trainees leaving, but it's not good for the brightly dressed girl to stand up and say goodbye to the second sister Li, director Li, who puts a lot of psychological pressure on her. It's too impolite.So, the girl had no choice but to resolutely carry out her friend status, and began to make the little girl who had been a little dull all the time happy in different ways.

On the other side, Second Sister Li, who was arranging the loot, was also thinking secretly.Although her main job now is to be responsible for the development of the sugar group, she has always paid attention to her father's management of trainees.In fact, I know the information of the fashionable little girl next to my sister very well.

My sister's rare good friend, one of the three members of the "tintop" group, with a lively personality and a good family background.More importantly, not long ago, a girl named Shangmei, one of the members of this small group, left the company to join jyp, and this girl also submitted an application to terminate the contract not long ago.

Sister, you are so sad.

In fact, she pretended not to know each other at the beginning to avoid embarrassment, but this does not mean that Li Erjie had no idea in her mind. As a representative of the company's senior management, what should she do in the face of "defectors"?

"Oh, by the way, Shun Kyu." Representative Li, who had a plan in mind, said intentionally: "I have some good news for you. Recently, the company has signed a contract with Wheesung and invited him to assist in vocal music teaching. When we talked, we especially I talked about the study of r&b. It seems that you and your combination in the company are better at this aspect. You also know that there are quite a few trainees in the company now. Maybe there will be special tutoring at that time. You earn We're here." Hui Xing of "<" is undoubtedly a popular figure in the music industry recently, and being able to receive his face-to-face teaching is undoubtedly a double good opportunity for star chasing and learning.

After secretly sizing up her younger sister and hearing the news, she slowly came to life, with an expectant face in her eyes, and the girl's complexion on the other side, the dark-bellied Second Sister Li couldn't help feeling a little bit of revenge in her heart.

Leaving early?I'm hungry~

"Really? Ernie, when will Teacher Huixing start teaching?" Throwing the Americano aside, the little man Li Shungui grabbed the wide sleeves of Second Sister Li with his small hands, shaking them, his voice full of asked eagerly.

This time I called "Oni", Shun Kyu, your position is too unsteady.The depressed girl sitting on the side could only pouted and complained inwardly.

"Hoho, you called 'Oni' all of a sudden, your position is too unsteady?" Second Sister Li didn't have so many worries, she waved her hands to fan the wind, looking at the sun and the soft blue sky, With a hot face, he said casually, "Oh, I've been shopping for so long, but I've walked a lot, and I'm really thirsty~~"

"Waiter, please have a glass of lemonade, double, add more ice~!" Li Shungui quickly waved and ordered with a decisive attitude, then turned his head and continued to put on a cute expression, his squinted eyes were full of anticipation. "Oni, drink to quench your thirst first, what else do you want later, I'll treat you~"

"You did a good job. You deserve to be praised during your graduation performance." Looking at her cute appearance, Second Sister Li also decided not to be sloppy. "Although the contract has been signed, as I said just now, in October Well, Wheesung is going to release his third album, and he is very busy promoting charts and participating in shows, so if he has time, he will go to next year."

"Oh... next year..." Li Shungui frowned and thought about it, then suddenly asked. "Oni, why would Teacher Huixing think of coming to our company to teach students? Is he so free?"

Speaking of this question, even the brightly dressed girl on the side pricked up her ears curiously.

"It's not coming to our company, but Huixing plans to teach a few students, signed a contract with our company, and our company has a selection quota. At that time, it will definitely not only teach people from our company." Silly sister, don't you clear?This is our father's use of power for personal gain. In order to satisfy your wish, it is going all out. "As for why you're so free... I guess it has something to do with YG's recent boycott of SBS's song contest this year? Who knows the specific reason."

Speaking of which, the curious Dasheng sisters began to gossip about why the singers under YG jointly boycotted the sbs song contest, and they talked about the reputation and style of sbs. Couldn't help but interjected.Then the three women talked about the relationship between sbs and s.m, and finally they talked about s.m's recent popularity TVXQ. After the two little girls directly expressed their admiration, for some reason, the topic turned to s. M's trainee training.

"Oh, the environment of sm is really not built. I accidentally saw it once in the past and thought it was very good. I really want to train there, but I don't know if it has changed now." Lee Soon Kyu's spirit has relaxed a lot, The little girl leaned against the back of the chair, stretched her waist, showing a curve that had gradually scaled up, and said enviously.

Regarding this question, the fashionable girl sitting on the side didn't dare to speak up, so she quickly lowered her head and drank the cup of latte, pretending that she didn't hear it.

"Of course it's not the same as before." Regarding her younger sister's traitorous speech, Second Sister Li replied indifferently, "The location of the S·M building is so conspicuous, and the space utilization rate in the company is almost at its limit. The training is very intense, and there is no time or way to make large-scale renovations.”

"It's fine not to renovate." The little girl still had a longing look on her face.

"That's not necessarily the case. What year and month was it when you read it? Your current memories are just a good impression in your head based on your preferences." Li Erjie nodded Li Shungui's forehead. The girl just smiled and did not refute.Sister Cui went on to say: "After so many years, I guess some places have long been outdated. It's not like you don't know Uncle... the stingy management of s.m. In my opinion, the new buildings of yg and jyp will definitely be good many."

"Oh, it's someone else's anyway." Li Shungui propped his chin and said lazily, "I joined the company after I came out of Starlight Academy. I don't know what the trainees of these big companies are like."

"They're not all human." The brightly dressed girl whispered.

"Want to see and see? It's not easy." Second Ms. Li sipped the extra lemonade in the tall water glass, then took out the notepad and looked at the schedule, "Next week is sm's public showcase. At that time, it is estimated that not only the three major companies, but also famous entertainment companies will receive invitations to observe. But since there are designated places, it will be a big gathering of elite trainees from major companies at that time."

"Oni, what about our company?" Li Shungui regained his energy all of a sudden, his eyes lit up.

"If you want to go, my sister will take you to see it. And you can also bring a few friends from our company with you." Second Sister Li looked around from the corner of her eye, and Shun Kyu's friend who was sitting on the other side shrugged his shoulders, "By then TVXQ will probably be on stage, maybe even Boa will come back from Japan~."

The fashionable little girl frowned even deeper.

Hey, another city.
