You may not believe it, but Lee Hae-na's appearance in the park was really an accident.

Actually, she didn't have any intention of staying up all night to write songs in the company's studio, but as she was editing … she fell asleep.

When she woke up from the cold, she found that it was almost four o 'clock. She went to wash her face with hot water, tore off the cold heat pad from her body, and put on a new one.

She originally wanted to go back to the dormitory, but her feet just wouldn't listen. She desperately wandered outside, and then repeated the same mistake. After she got lost, she came to the park from last time.

When Lee Hae-na set foot in the park again, she still felt a little emotional. Who would have thought that it had been more than two months since she fainted in this park … Now that she thought about it, Lee Hae-na still felt a little scared.

Since she was already here, Lee Hae-na planned to stroll around this small park that was so fated with her.

As she walked, she saw a person sitting on the same stone chair as last time.

She had a strange premonition in her heart.

In order to verify this premonition, she strolled forward.

The moment she recognized Kim Tae-hyung, Lee Hae-na suddenly felt a chill on her back — — she seemed to have a talent for fortune-telling!

Everyone knows what happened after that, so I won't go into details. In short, in order to comfort Kim Tae-hyung, Lee Hae-na made a promise with this brother in a primary school way.

Sigh, it's really hard to coax primary school students.

Lee Hae-na sighed in her heart, but didn't dare to show a trace of it on her face.

Kim Tae-hyung gratefully took the first girl in his life to eat a luxurious breakfast at KFC. After that, the two parted ways and went back to their respective homes.

Lee Hae-na was physically and mentally exhausted. For the first time, she asked for half a day's leave from the management sister and lay in the dormitory to catch up on sleep.

On the other side, Jin Taiheng, who had not returned for the entire night, was seen by his brother who had woken up early to prepare for practice. Everyone was surprised to find that Jin Taiheng, who was originally in a very low mood, had unexpectedly swept away yesterday's depression and was full of energy again.

Kim Tae-hyung took a shower and didn't even catch up on sleep. He followed his brothers to the company to practice again.

Park Ji-ho?

F couldn't stand it anymore and forced him to sleep in the practice room next door for two hours.

After that, the PD announced in front of everyone that Kim Tae-hyung had become a hidden member. Everyone was very surprised and looked at Kim Tae-hyung worriedly. On the contrary, Kim Tae-hyung himself was the calmest, as if he wasn't affected at all. He was actively practicing as usual.

In fact, Kim Tae-hyung had already gotten over it.

Just as Lee Hae-na had said, he should have confidence in his own strength, confidence in the PD's vision, and confidence in his own sweat and hard work.

Since he was a hidden member, he had to work hard to do a better job. He had to make those fans who couldn't accept a hidden member impeccably accept him!

When he went to bed at night, Kim Tae-hyung took out his phone and wanted to send a text message to Lee Hae-na. Only then did he find out that Lee Hae-na had said that it was a blessing message.

Kim Tae-hyung felt that Lee Hae-na was probably a girl who really loved to eat. Otherwise, why would she not forget that meal even when she sent a blessing message!

She wouldn't gain weight even if she ate it.

There was no sincerity in her blessings.

Kim Tae-hyung snorted softly and pursed his lips into a smile.

Time flew by in the midst of the intense debut practice.

In these four months, Kim Tae-hyung truly felt the urgency of his upcoming debut.

Although he didn't take a solo promotional photo like the other members, and there was no news about him on the official website.

However, he didn't miss out on the practice of his debut dance, the recording, the shooting of the MV, and the group photo shoot.

Since Jin Nanjun and other brothers' debut photos were released on the official website in April, several members began to have fans waiting outside the company to give them gifts.

Every time Kim Tae-hyung saw it, although he couldn't help but feel a little envious, he didn't feel jealous.

After all, he was also a person who had fans even before his debut, and his fans were the most beautiful among all his fans. Hehe.

After graduating from junior high school, Lee Hae-na officially entered high school and began her busier life as a trainee.

The song she wrote during the New Year was chosen by teacher Lee Soo-man and decided to be the special theme song for the senior exo members' winter concert.

Sitting in the conference room and discussing with several famous overseas composers, Lee Hae-na still didn't feel real.

Lee Soo-man looked at Lee Hae-na, who had a curious expression but didn't flinch in the face of several famous composers. For the first time, he began to carefully evaluate this young Chinese girl.

S. M Company would recruit some trainees from overseas every year, and the proportion in China was quite high.

However, the trainees came and went quickly. Before he had a good impression of any of the children, those children had left the company for various reasons.

Maybe they couldn't stand the loneliness and hardships, or their ability wasn't up to standard, etc. There were very few Chinese trainees who persisted for more than four years.

Lee Soo-man hadn't remembered the name of a Chinese trainee for a long time.

When he heard Lee Hae-na's name from his old friend Yu Yongjin, he remembered that the last exo album had a song by this kid.

To be honest, it wasn't that Lee Soo-man didn't like children who could compose, but the ability to compose was very weak in S. M Company, which had a huge network of composers.

First of all, each group's songs were selected based on the concept and current music trends, and the songs composed by the members didn't necessarily match. Second, the quality of the songs composed by trainees usually couldn't reach the level of the main song, and S. M Company had too many good songs. Finally, people with creative ability were usually not easy to control, and the company preferred trainees who knew their place.

In summary, compared to trainees who could compose, S. M Company needed beautiful, obedient, and capable trainees more.

But Lee Hae-na was special.

This uniqueness didn't appear when she wrote "Butterfly Girl," but this winter's main song was a really good song.

Therefore, in Lee Soo-man's mind, Lee Hae-na was already distinguished from the other trainees, and she became one of the few trainees he remembered.

Of course, Lee Hae-na, who was participating in the discussion with the composer, didn't know what her big boss was thinking.

She was quite insistent on the music she had written. Even in the face of a famous composer, she was not timid in expressing her thoughts on the music. She remained modest but not too self-abased. She knew when to advance and when to retreat.

The discussion lasted for the whole day, and they even ate lunch and dinner in the conference room.

Of course, one meeting couldn't solve all the problems at once, and the next meeting was set for three days later, but Lee Hae-na didn't need to participate anymore.

Lee Hae-na didn't feel sad or despised, she knew where her strength was, and she believed that the composer could understand her thoughts and make her song better.

Lee Hae-na felt honored and grateful to be able to participate in such a large core meeting, and she also learned a lot of new knowledge during the discussion. It could be said that she benefited a lot.

The days in art high school were not as leisurely as junior high school. Although she was an art student, she still had to learn a lot of cultural classes.

The only thing that changed the most was that she went to school alone instead of two people.

Xu Yiyang didn't come back to Korea after returning to China this time. She was left in China by her parents.

When Lee Hae-na first found out, she was sad for a long time. Although she had only been with Xu Yiyang for a year, she really liked this friend.

When she had a video call with Xu Yiyang, the two of them were crying. They promised to keep in touch, and they chatted all night before finally putting down the phone.

Life was busy, and she didn't even have time to savor the taste of parting.

Lee Hae-na still had to work in the dormitory, school, and company on weekdays. On weekends, she practiced the violin and modern dance. She was busy from six o 'clock in the morning to twelve o' clock at night, and had no time to care about other things.

Even Kim Tae-hyung and Park Ji-ho?

F and Xu Yiyang's messages were replied to before going to bed at night.

Park Soo-young often complained that she didn't enroll in Seoul High School of Arts, and she also regretted that she didn't enroll in Hanlin High School of Arts, which caused the two of them to not be able to go to school together.

Since Xu Yiyang moved away, Park Soo-young naturally occupied Lee Hae-na's upper bunk. She always slept with her, and Sun Shengwan, who was in the same dormitory, didn't even look at her.

The first semester of high school was spent in ordinary and busy practice.

At the beginning of June, Lee Hae-na received a message from Kim Tae-hyung, telling her that he would officially debut on June 13th. He told Lee Hae-na to watch his handsome stage and write a 500-word review.

Lee Hae-na didn't give him any face and sent a crazy message.

After half a year of getting along, Lee Hae-na completely understood her brother's character and temper, and she gradually began to let go of her true feelings.

She completed the change from "Brother Tae-hyung, you can do it" to "Kim Tae-hyung, don't be an idiot".

Kim Tae-hyung was angry, but he didn't dare to say anything. Every time he was angered to death, he would smile and send a message in less than ten minutes as if nothing had happened.

Even Park Ji-ho?

F ridiculed him for being an idiot.

Although she ridiculed Kim Tae-hyung, Lee Hae-na still obediently ended her practice early on June 13th and returned to the dormitory to watch their debut on her phone.

Bulletproof Boys?

The boss of this company was almost as chuunibyou as Lee Soo-man in her company …

Lee Hae-na had never asked Kim Tae-hyung the name of his group, and Kim Tae-hyung, who had a sense of shame, was naturally too embarrassed to take the initiative to say it.

Therefore, when Lee Hae-na saw it today, she was still shocked.

However, Kim Tae-hyung's stage name was quite pleasant to the ears. It was called V. When Kim Tae-hyung was choosing his stage name, he sent a long message to ridicule his farting emperor's taste in names.

What Rex, Yass, Kim Tae-hyung really didn't hesitate to choose the very normal V?

Lee Hae-na had systematically learned hip hop before?

Pop. However, because she wasn't very interested and didn't have the free time, she actually didn't know much about it.

Therefore, her focus was on the arrangement of the debut song … As for the stage, she could only give the same comments as ordinary young female fans. "The dance was very neat", "The song was also very good", "The rap was very handsome", "The appearance was very good", and so on.

After watching the live broadcast, Lee Hae-na sent Kim Tae-hyung and Park Ji-ho?

F sent a congratulatory message.

Knowing that they didn't have the time or opportunity to reply, Lee Hae-na saw that it wasn't too late after sending the message, so she rushed back to the company to continue practicing.

In the past six months, the new trainees had shown their strength, bringing a lot of pressure to the experienced trainees.

For example, Sun Shengwan, who was good at singing, and Lee Hae-na, who also took the vocal route, also felt the pressure and practiced harder. It could be considered a positive effect.

Although there was still no news about the new girl group's plan, the roar of senior exo in August this year made them successfully popular all over the country. They also became the first group in twelve years to break through a million sales, and they were in sight.

With such estimates, the girl group's plan seemed to be on the agenda.

All the trainees from year 1997 and above worked hard to show off and leave a good impression for the upcoming girl group selection.

In this way, the younger trainees seemed more leisurely.

Because they were young, whether it was' 14 or '15, it seemed too early to debut. They only needed to maintain their original practice, quietly improve their strength, and wait for the next selection.

The trainees who were most anxious were Kang Sung-ki and Bae Chu-min.

Bae Chu-min was older. If she missed this opportunity, she might not be able to wait until the next time. Kang Sung-ki had the same worry. As a trainee in the company when the Girls' Generation debuted, she had waited for four years after F (X) failed to be selected. It was rare for a trainee to have a six-year career in the company.
