After a few days of arduous training, the art teachers finally realized that it was impossible to make Li Haina into a funny person, so they decided to give up on it.

She was even harder to deal with than Xu Zhuxian and Bae Chu-min.

Lee Hae-na should just quietly be a beautiful girl who writes songs and sings.

Because they were in a hurry to debut, the company didn't have time to arrange a suitable character for everyone, but Park Soo-young was in charge of the variety show.

"Hmm … go for the bright girl style, the kind that is 100% positive." The teacher touched his chin and finally came up with a style that Lee Hae-na could use.

Lee Hae-na, who had zero wins, was speechless.

"Then go for the chuunibyou style?

The kind where I'm the best in the world? "

Looking at Lee Hae-na's troubled expression, the teacher scratched his head in distress. "But this character is easy to attract haters."

"Teacher, what do you think of the invisible girl style?

The kind that is quiet and doesn't talk. "Lee Hae-na carefully suggested, but the teacher slapped her head with a board.

"Think of something more reliable." The teacher glared at Lee Hae-na.

Lee Hae-na pondered for a long time before she thought of something that suited her personality. "Then, how about the ha-ha girl style?

The kind that is responsible for creating the atmosphere when others are funny. "

"…" The teacher glanced at Lee Hae-na, sighed, and gave up on trying to save her. "Up to you."

Anyway, Lee Hae-na had a natural dimple advantage, so even if it was a business smile, it would look sincere in the eyes of others.

The character was helplessly and hastily decided.

Although Lee Hae-na didn't know how to be funny, she knew how to be supportive.

Soon, it was the day of the radio program recording.

As soon as Lee Hae-na got out of the car, she was blinded by the flashes of the camera, mixed with a few statements from anti-fans telling her to get out of the group.

But in general, the fans' voices were louder, which comforted Lee Hae-na's depressed mood.

“Lena

fighting！

Saranghe! "

Suddenly, Lee Hae-na's ears caught a sound of support for her. She couldn't help but look towards the source of the sound.

Then, she saw a girl with a headband with her name on it waving at her with a camera.

Lee Hae-na felt a surge of warmth in her heart. She nodded and smiled at the girl.

When Shen Ju-eun saw Lee Hae-na nodding and smiling at her, she was so excited that she picked up the cannon and started shooting.

After recording the radio program, they returned to the company to continue practicing.

After returning to the company, Lee Hae-na suddenly said that she wanted to eat ice cream, so she went to the convenience store near the company with Park Soo-young and her manager sister to buy ice cream.

Now that she thought about it, she had underestimated the power of her Korean haters.

Everything happened in a flash.

Park Soo-young and her manager sister were picking out potato chips from the snack shelf, while Lee Hae-na was alone in front of the ice cream cabinet, debating which ice cream to eat.

She liked strawberry ice cream, but vanilla ice cream also looked delicious.

Before she could decide which one to eat, a girl suddenly walked in front of her.

Lee Hae-na was shocked. She looked up and saw the girl giving her a strange smile. Before she could react, the girl took out a bottle of unknown liquid and splashed it on her.

Lee Hae-na screamed. She was caught off guard and was drenched. A disgusting smell came from her body.

After the girl finished her task, she immediately ran out. As she ran, she looked back at Lee Hae-na with a cold gaze.

Li Haina's heart trembled, and a feeling of nausea welled up in her throat. She threw up.

Because she only ate a little for breakfast, she retched afterwards.

The manager sister and Park Soo-young heard Lee Hae-na scream and ran over, but Lee Hae-na was already drenched and fell to the ground.

The girl's movements were very fast, as if she had practiced it many times. The manager sister chased after her and then ran back to Lee Hae-na.

Park Soo-young quickly opened a bottle of water and handed it to Lee Hae-na, who had just vomited. She ignored the stench on Lee Hae-na and wiped her mouth and body with a tissue.

The manager sister also hurried over to see if Lee Hae-na was okay. She called the company and asked the staff to call the police.

Li Haina still hadn't come out of the fear just now. Her whole body was trembling, and the feeling of fear and nausea surged up, making her unable to help but sob in a low voice.

Park Soo-young quickly hugged Lee Hae-na, who was trembling violently, and patted her back gently to calm her down. "Hae-na, don't be afraid. It's okay now. I'm here.

Don't be afraid. "

She still remembered that last year, Lee Hae-na didn't cry when she collapsed in the practice room due to gastric perforation due to her irregular diet. She was sent to the hospital for surgery.

Therefore, in Park Soo-young's heart, Lee Hae-na had always been a strong and strong person. She didn't seem like a younger sister who was only one year younger than her.

But such a strong person was crying now.

It was very impactful for someone who didn't cry usually to suddenly cry.

Park Soo-young was shocked. She was distressed and angry.

She helped Lee Hae-na up and went back to the dormitory to take a shower under the direction of the manager sister.

The manager sister stayed in the convenience store and waited for the police to arrive to deal with the aftermath.

The company's idea was to suppress this matter. After all, Red Velvet was still at the forefront of the storm. Such news wouldn't do them any good.

Before the S.M could deal with this matter, the news of Lee Hae-na being splashed by Anti was exposed by passers-by in the convenience store. Red Velvet, which had been the center of public opinion, immediately became a hot topic.

#redvelvet

lena#

#lena

# splashed water

#rvlena

anti#

The three trending topics exceeded a thousand comments in just an hour.

The S.M had no choice but to use another strategy — to deal with it seriously.

On the other hand, although Red Velvet had a lot of anti-fans, they had gradually accumulated some fans since their debut stage and live performance.

Some of them had turned from anti-fans to fans because of their looks or ability. Some of them had become fans because they found out that Lee Hae-na was the composer of the two songs.

All in all, this time, there were finally some positive comments under Lee Hae-na's news. It was no longer the situation where anti-fans ruled.

Shen Ju-eun was one of the witnesses of the incident. After following Lee Hae-na's schedule at the radio station, she went back to the company to see if she could be lucky enough to see her come out.

Who would have thought that even though she had squatted down, not only had she squatted down on her idol, but she had also squatted down on the scene where Anti had splashed water on her idol.

Things happened so fast that even Shen Ju-eun couldn't believe her eyes.

She saw Lee Hae-na crying and vomiting. Her face, which was already pale, was drained of blood. She shrank in Park Soo-young's arms and trembled. Her eyelashes were trembling and her silent crying made her heart ache.

Shen Ju-eun wanted to go up and hug Lee Hae-na and comfort her not to be afraid.

Unfortunately, she didn't have the chance.

Therefore, Shen Ju-eun turned her heartache into anger towards Anti. She displayed her fierce fighting power on the Internet and had a big fight with Anti.

After that, she wrote a long post about what she had seen today. She didn't use a single curse word. She scolded Anti until they were black and blue. She also cleared Lee Hae-na's name and attracted a wave of passers-by fans.

Lee Hae-na had no idea what was happening outside. When she returned to the dormitory, Park Soo-young stuffed her into the bathroom to take a shower.

That bottle of hogwash was probably Anti's family heirloom. It was quite old. The smell of rotten food mixed with the smell of mold and worms multiplied the attack power, and the stench went straight to the stomach.

Fortunately, Lee Hae-na had changed into her long-sleeved and long-pants practice clothes before going out. If she was drenched directly, she was afraid that her skin would be corroded.

When Lee Hae-na was splashed, she turned her head subconsciously. Therefore, only her hair was drenched and not her face.

Lee Hae-na looked at her sticky hair in the mirror and cut it with a pair of scissors.

Her orange hair fell to the ground.

Because she had just cried, her eyes were still red. Her mind was filled with Anti's malicious smile and her cold gaze at the end.

It wasn't like she hadn't heard of Anti's deeds in the past. They sent dead rats, rotten dolls, worms and so on. She thought that she was quite brave and wouldn't be afraid.

Until today, when she met Anti, she realized how ridiculous her self-confidence was.

When Anti's disgusted and malicious gaze landed on her, she felt like a cold poisonous snake was crawling all over her body. It made her feel disgusted and scared. She couldn't help but tremble.

Lee Hae-na stood under the shower. The hot water washed her body. She scrubbed hard and only stopped when her skin turned red.

She suddenly felt like crying.

She felt wronged and angry, scared and weak.

The emotions that she had been suppressing all this time suddenly exploded and crushed her bottom line.

The fear of not being able to debut.

The resentment of being oppressed by the company's management.

The tiredness of hard training.

The self-loathing that filled the sky with negative comments.

The fear of being attacked by Anti.

It was as if her debut wasn't anticipated.

She had already tried her best to satisfy everyone.

Why was it still like this?

Park Soo-young stood outside the bathroom door and listened quietly to Lee Hae-na's wailing. She sighed.

Because of the attack by the anti-fans, the manager returned their phones to them so that they could keep in touch. Lee Hae-na's schedule for the next few days was also canceled so that she could have a good rest in the dormitory.

The girls comforted Lee Hae-na for a while and asked Lee Hae-na if she wanted them to sleep with her. Lee Hae-na shook her head and declined their kindness.

She was afraid that her parents would be worried, so she called them to let them know that she was safe.

Papa Lee directly asked Lee Hae-na to terminate her contract and return to the country. Although he respected his daughter's dreams, he didn't want her to get hurt.

Lee Hae-na refused without thinking. She only told them not to worry too much and that she would take good care of herself.

Mama Li, who had always been quiet, couldn't help but nag for a while. She even asked if she wanted to go to Korea to visit her. Lee Hae-na refused again and again before she gave up on the idea.

After talking to her parents on the phone, Lee Hae-na's mood improved a little. She took the strawberries that Kang Sung-ki washed for her and began to eat them while watching TV.

The girls had schedules in the afternoon and evening, so only Lee Hae-na was left in the dormitory to watch the variety show alone.

Lee Hae-na watched for a while and felt bored. She checked her phone and blacklisted Kim Tae-hyung and Park Ji-ho.

The two of them were released from the blacklist.

As soon as she was released, she saw the dozens of messages sent by Kim Tae-hyung a few days ago. Before she opened them, she received a call from Kim Tae-hyung.

"Tae-hyung oppa?" Lee Hae-na asked tentatively.

On the other hand, Kim Tae-hyung was quite surprised when he found that the call was connected. He was scared half to death when he saw the news at noon, so he wanted to try calling Lee Hae-na. He didn't expect that the call would be connected.

Kim Tae-hyung heard Lee Hae-na's nasal voice and his voice unconsciously softened. "Um … are you okay?"

"Of course not." Lee Hae-na lay on the sofa and looked at the white ceiling. "You scared me to death."

"Ah, you, I, then … what should I do …" Kim Tae-hyung, who had never comforted a girl, didn't know what to say when he heard Lee Hae-na's unexpected words. "Don't be afraid."

Hearing Kim Tae-hyung's clumsy comfort, Lee Hae-na couldn't help but smile. Her voice still sounded quiet and sad. "Sing a song for me. I haven't heard you sing with my own ears. After listening to it, I should feel better."

Kim Tae-hyung, who was secretly making a call in the toilet cubicle, showed a troubled expression. "Um … do I really have to sing?"

"Can't you sing a song to comfort me?" Lee Hae-na pretended to be wronged and said, covering her mouth to prevent herself from laughing out loud.

"Okay then."

Kim Tae-hyung hesitated for two seconds and made up his mind to agree. He was afraid that Lee Hae-na was just coaxing him, so he said, "Then you have to promise me that you won't be sad after listening to it."

Lee Hae-na's joking smile also disappeared and said in a low voice, "Okay."

Kim Tae-hyung cleared his throat.

He sang an English song that Lee Hae-na said before that she liked the most.

It was Taylor Swift's Ours.

His low voice passed to Lee Hae-na's ear through the phone. It was like a feather tickling her ear, itchy but very comfortable.

The young man's English pronunciation was not very accurate, his singing was not very good, and he occasionally forgot the words.

However, in Lee Hae-na's ears, it was more beautiful than any song she had heard before, because this song was full of the young man's sincerity and he sang only for her.

The song was only three minutes long, so short that Lee Hae-na felt regretful.

"Oppa, thank you." Lee Hae-na held back her sobs and thanked Kim Tae-hyung.

"You don't have to be so polite between us …" Kim Tae-hyung scratched his head embarrassedly. He was a little worried. "Don't be afraid secretly. If you want to find someone to talk to, send me a message."

"Okay." Lee Hae-na nodded.

Kim Tae-hyung's practice was especially important because he was close to returning. He hid in the toilet and comforted Lee Hae-na for a while before rushing back to practice.

After Lee Hae-na hung up the phone, her mood improved a little.

There were still many people who loved her around her.

There was no need to be sad for those who didn't love her for too long.
