Seoul's Hongda was a place where nightclubs, bars, and other entertainment venues gathered. Min Kyo-eun rarely came here. She would only go if someone she was close to invited her.

However, seniors like Big Bang and 2NE1 often went there, especially Yang Hyun-suk's NB2. This was a place where crooked artists often came.

Min Kyo-eun had yet to debut, so she had to be fully dressed to avoid being photographed by reporters.

It would be fine if it was a party hosted by a crooked rooster, but if it was a private party, she had to be careful.

However, this private party was hosted by Li Shengli. He especially emphasized that she had to go. After all, she was about to debut, and he wanted to take this opportunity to congratulate her.

The NB2 waiters were very tight-lipped. In addition, they had seen many artists before, so they were not surprised to see Min Kyo-eun. They only politely led Min Kyo-eun to the door of the private room and left.

Min Kyo-eun gently pushed the door of the private room, and all kinds of laughter came out.

Li Shengli's eyes were sharp, and he was the first to see Min Kyo-eun. He quickly stood up and took Min Kyo-eun's backpack. "Why are you so late? I've been waiting for you for a long time."

"I was delayed by the practice room, and there was a bit of a traffic jam on the way."

Min Kyo-eun said as she greeted the others.

The people present were Jeon Ji-ryong, Choe Seung-hyun, Li Cai?

, Park Chun, and other people who were not from the Waiji Company.

Jeon Ji-ryong raised his wine glass at her as a response to her greeting. Choe Seung-hyun lightly nodded at her.

Li Cai?

Park Chun walked to Min Kyo-eun's side with a wine glass and smiled. "Shengli kept asking if something happened to you. If something really happened to you, he would probably be scolded badly by the president."

"Ai, I had no choice. Brother Shengli said that if I didn't come, we wouldn't be good friends. Since he said so, how could I not come?"

Min Kyo-eun took the fruit juice from Park Chun and thanked her.

Park Chun and Li Cai?

Were both amused by Min Kyo-eun's words.

Li Shengli rolled his eyes. "If I didn't say that, you definitely wouldn't come."

Li Shengli thought that he understood Min Kyo-eun quite well. She was the kind of person who wouldn't let anything take away her interests. He understood why she didn't come to the club often, but it was tiring to be so careful all the time.

Min Kyo-eun smiled slightly and didn't refute Li Shengli.

Li Shengli saw her like this and knew that she didn't want to be entangled in this matter, so he took her to the place where the others were sitting to play together.

Li Cai?

Park Chun didn't follow them. The two of them held hands and went to the bathroom together.

Li Shengli didn't feel at ease letting Min Kyo-eun sit with someone she didn't know well, so he pressed her between him and Jeon Ji-ryong.

Jeon Ji-ryong was the person that many women in the party wanted to cling to. With Jeon Ji-ryong's playful personality, he generally wouldn't refuse a woman's kindness to him. But during this time, his relationship with Komatsu Nana was rapidly warming up. Although they hadn't become boyfriend and girlfriend, he still refused those women's kindness.

When he really liked someone, he was very loyal. Not to mention that he was now 29 years old, and the way he handled his feelings was stable. So now he only had Choe Seung-hyun and Min Kyo-eun, who was pressed down by Li Shengli.

He knew that Shengli had a good relationship with this little girl. Previously, he mistakenly thought that Shengli liked the little girl and almost called him to the studio to scold him. He dared to touch a little girl who hadn't debuted yet. He really didn't want to live.

Later, after listening to Shengli's explanation and his observation of the way they got along, he found that Shengli and the little girl were really simple friends.

However, in order to prevent someone from taking this opportunity to spread rumors, Jeon Ji-ryong didn't talk much with Min Kyo-eun. After the two greeted each other, they played on their own.

Those who could attend Li Shengli's party were not people with big mouths. Although they were curious about the relationship between Min Kyo-eun and Li Shengli, they didn't ask much. Before they came, Li Shengli had already told them not to ask Min Kyo-eun for a toast.

Later, they checked Min Kyo-eun's identity and found out that she was a trainee who was about to debut in Waiji Company. Then they understood Li Shengli's intention.

When Li Shengli finished his round of toasts and returned to Min Kyo-eun's side, more than 20 minutes had passed.

Min Kyo-eun frowned when she smelled the smell of alcohol. She poured a glass of cold water for Li Shengli: "Shengli oppa, don't get drunk before the party is over."

Li Shengli drank a mouthful of cold water and suddenly sobered up a lot.

"I organized this party, so I have to show my appreciation.

By the way, are you hungry? If you are, I'll ask the waiter to bring some salmon sushi. "

"No need."

Min Kyo-eun poured him another glass of cold water. "I'm not hungry. I already had a sandwich on the way here."

Since Min Kyo-eun said so, Li Shengli no longer bothered about it. He leaned on the sofa with the cold water and no one knew what he was thinking.

Choe Seung-hyun was chatting with others. Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Min Kyo-eun's empty glass. He leaned over and pushed the untouched juice in front of Min Kyo-eun.

"No one has touched this glass. You can drink it without worry."

Min Kyo-eun was a little flattered and quickly thanked him: "Thank you, senior."

Choe Seung-hyun was the most difficult person to get close to in Big Bang. Although he was a little dull on stage, he was a person who was afraid of strangers in private and didn't like to talk to people he wasn't familiar with.

Choe Seung-hyun only nodded slightly in response to Min Kyo-eun's thanks.

Jeon Ji-ryong saw this and joked: "Brother Shengxuan is usually too cold, causing the younger generation to have a big misunderstanding of brother …"

Choe Seung-hyun, who had been keeping a straight face for a long time, finally laughed. He patted Jeon Ji-ryong's shoulder: "Don't talk nonsense. I'm not cold, I'm polite."

It was not an exaggeration to say that it was polite. Choe Seung-hyun didn't talk to people he wasn't familiar with to avoid arousing suspicion and prevent reporters from making up rumors.

Being polite was good for everyone.

Li Cai, who had been in the bathroom for a long time?

And Park Chun finally came back arm in arm. As soon as they came back, they waved for Min Kyo-eun to sit beside them.

Previously, Li Shengli had asked Min Kyo-eun to sit between him and Jeon Ji-ryong to prevent people from asking her for a toast. Since Li Cai?

And Park Chun were both back, then there was no need to make her sit between the two men.

After Min Kyo-eun sat down, Li Cai?

Asked: "Have you decided on the name of your group?"

"It's decided. It's called BLACK PINK."

Park Chun: "BLACK PINK?

PINK INK?

What does that mean? "

Min Kyo-eun: "I heard from the company's planning department that they added black negation in the beautiful pink to express' don't just look at the beautiful part 'and' don't see everything '."

Li Cai?

: "Wow, that's interesting.

How are you getting along with your teammates?

I heard that Kim Ji-ni and Kim Ji?

Are all in it. "

Min Kyo-eun: "It's okay. There are usually small conflicts, but it'll be resolved soon."

Li Cai?

Hearing this, she nodded in relief.

Li Cai?

She knew that Yang Hyun-suk had been panicking in recent years. Zhilong and the rest were going to join the army in recent years, and 2NE1's popularity had been taken away by some new girl groups. If Yang Hyun-suk did not do anything, Crooked Chicken would be suppressed by SM and JYP.

She had to admit that she was getting more and more dissatisfied with Crooked Chicken.

If it was a few years ago, she would still agree with Crooked Chicken.

Family existed, but Liang Xuanxi had changed. She thought that he was a crooked chicken.

She thought that family no longer existed.

Yang Hyun-suk pushed back the date of 2NE1's return. Even though the songs had been recorded, even though all of them were ready to return, even though the fans were looking forward to their return, Yang Hyun-suk still decided not to let them return.

Why?

To make way for the new group.

She did not blame those juniors. After all, this was not something they could reject. All the decisions were made by Yang Hyun-suk. It would be a lie to say that she did not blame him. But what could she do even if she blamed him?

In the past, Crooked Chicken was not very competitive. Everyone used to get along like good friends, so their relationships were naturally closer.

But ever since Big Bang became popular globally, Crooked Chicken had batch after batch of capable trainees. Their competitiveness also increased year after year.

Good friends?

She did not think that under such pressure, the relationship between good friends was pure.

She had heard of Kim Ji-ni before. She was a capable girl with a good family background and had been pampered since she was young. When she found out that Min Kyo-eun and Kim Ji-ni were in the same team, she was worried for Min Kyo-eun.

Compared to Kim Ji-ni, she had a better relationship with Min Kyo-eun. After all, there was Shengli in the middle.

She had been in the industry for so many years. Naturally, she could see the current situation of Min Kyo-eun's relationship in the team.

The five of them were really just colleagues. If they really had a good relationship, it would probably be Kim Ji and Min Yu.

With Jin Zhini and Lisa, with Min Jiaoen and Lisa, and with Min Jiaoen. As for Rose, she had a good relationship with everyone. She couldn't tell which side she favored.

"Kyo-eun, I'll give you some advice as a senior. Don't really treat your teammates as good friends. Crooked Chicken is now focused on benefits. The relationship between trainees is no longer pure. You have to grasp the degree of getting along well, understand?"

Min Kyo-eun said, "I understand. Thank you, Augny."

Li Cai?

She was relieved.

Park Chun glanced at the phone screen. It was nine o 'clock.

It did not matter how late the seniors went back, but Min Kyo-eun was still a trainee. She would definitely be strictly controlled. She urged, "Kyo-eun, you should go back. It's already nine o 'clock. If you don't go back, you'll probably be scolded."

Min Kyo-eun was shocked. She was so engrossed in playing that she forgot the time for a moment.

She hurriedly packed her backpack. After saying goodbye to the two Augny, she ran to Li Shengli's side. "Oppa, I should go back."

Li Shengli did not urge her to stay. He wanted someone to send her back, but she refused.

"I can go back by myself. There's no need to trouble yourself."

Li Shengli could only nod helplessly.

Seeing this, Min Kyo-eun hurriedly left NB2 after saying goodbye to the seniors.

When she returned to the dormitory, it was close to ten o 'clock. The sisters were still awake, but other than Lisa, the others were in their own rooms. Only Lisa was sitting in the living room watching TV.

As soon as she heard the door open, Lisa jumped up and ran to Min Kyo-eun's side. "Why are you back so late? Augny and the others have asked me several times where you went."

Among the several Augny, only Lisa knew where Min Kyo-eun went.

Min Kyo-eun passed the spicy fried rice cake and zhajiang noodles that she bought along the way to Lisa. "I was delayed by some things. I went to buy supper on the way. Augny, can you call Zhi?

Augny and the others come out for supper. "

Lisa helplessly glared at Min Kyo-eun. She resigned herself to calling Augny and the others out for supper.
