In the end, the game expert Kim Tae-hyung won the Battle of Bubble Hall.

Red Velvet didn't have any plans to return. Their schedule was mainly focused on various platter concerts, family concerts, and university celebrations.

In the middle of October, S.M Company received an invitation to compose the OST for the TV series [Descendants of the Sun]. Lee Hae-na was recommended by Yu Yongjin, so she was honored to have the right to "contribute".

The TV series was filmed in advance. Filming started in June and was now nearing the end.

The TV series company gave two themes and a part of the plot outline for the composer to choose from. At the same time, they also invited other well-known musicians and finally hired the best.

Lee Hae-na chose the theme of "First Meeting".

She had already written a suitable song. Under the guidance of Yu Yongjin, she had modified it several times and had a very high degree of completion.

All that was left was to write the lyrics and the final arrangement.

After all, Korean wasn't Lee Hae-na's mother tongue, so the lyrics were left to another professional composer.

The song was finally completed and selected in early November. The title of the song was [Always], and the talented female rapper Yin Mi-lai was invited to sing it.

After the recording was completed, Lee Hae-na had to prepare for the college entrance exam.

Korea's college entrance exam was at the end of November. After October, Lee Hae-na didn't participate in any non-essential group activities. She only focused on writing songs and revising.

Unfortunately, even though she made full use of her time, she was still a distance away from her goal of entering Hanyang University.

The teacher and class monitor Cha Eun-woo tried their best to tutor her. Lee Hae-na had been reciting so much that she had a few strands of white hair. The other members advised her not to push herself too hard.

Lee Hae-na agreed obediently, but she still stayed up late to study, which made the members worried.

The Bulletproof Boys members knew that Lee Hae-na was going to take the college entrance exam in a month, so they all sent her support messages and wished her success.

Even Tian, who usually bickered with her?

Convex?

Jihuan?

Yue

Lee Hae-na's parents had also agreed to fly over to Korea two days before Lee Hae-na's college entrance examination to accompany her. Although she had refused many times, she finally gave in to her parents' insistence.

Moreover, she really wanted to have her parents by her side at such a time.

Soon, it was the day of the college entrance examination.

Lee Hae-na woke up at 6: 30 am sharp. She put on the school uniform that Bae Chu-min had ironed for her, took the warm strawberry milk that Park Soo-young had prepared for her, and hugged the other members. Then she went downstairs and got into her parents' car, which had been waiting for her downstairs, and headed to the examination hall.

Her agent was supposed to send her over, but Papa Lee and Mama Li applied to the company. So, on the day of the exam, Lee Hae-na would stay with her parents, and her parents would take care of her.

Both sides of the gate of Hanlin Academy of Arts were crowded with reporters, parents, and teachers who were sending them off.

It was the first time that Lee Hae-jun had seen so many cameras and flashes. He leaned against the car window and looked left and right with his big round eyes, full of curiosity.

"Sister!

Are they all here to take pictures of you? "

Lee Hae-jun knew that his sister was something like a celebrity. Although he couldn't see her on TV in China, his mother had found her a few times on the Internet for him to see.

"No … Oh … You can say that …" Lee Hae-na sighed. It was the first time that she felt that the cameras were such a scary thing, "But they're not here to take pictures of me alone."

"Sister, you're so awesome!

Sister, you can do it for the exam! "Lee Hae-jun smiled sweetly at Lee Hae-na, his chubby little hands clenched into fists and made an encouraging gesture.

"Okay." Lee Hae-na licked her dry lips and also pulled out a smile.

Papa Lee and Mama Li also encouraged Lee Hae-na with a few words, telling her not to feel too burdened, and then let her get out of the car.

Lee Hae-na nodded, took a deep breath, and stepped out of the car to be baptized by the flashes of the cameras.

Cha Eun-woo received an exemption from the exam. Although he didn't need to take the exam, he still came to the exam hall to cheer for the other students.

He stood next to the teachers, and when he saw Lee Hae-na get out of the car, he waved at her.

When Lee Hae-na thought of the notes that Cha Eun-woo had organized for her, her heart suddenly calmed down a little.

She walked over to greet the teachers and Cha Eun-woo.

"Have you memorized the notes?" Cha Eun-woo smiled. When he looked at you, there was always a feeling of slowly relaxing.

Lee Hae-na also smiled, "More or less."

"In any case, you're the first disciple of the student council president. Be more confident, it's not like you." Cha Eun-woo saw Lee Hae-na's nervousness and joked a little.

"I know!" Lee Hae-na understood Cha Eun-woo's intentions and gave him a thumbs up.

The small interaction between the two was faithfully recorded by the reporter's camera.

Lee Hae-na didn't chat much, waved at them and walked into the exam hall.

Although Bulletproof Boys didn't get a spot in the last special return because of the collision with the fog, it didn't mean that their popularity had declined.

On the contrary, since the release of Mood for Love, they really killed their way out of the male group melee. Their popularity continued to rise, and the number of fans only increased.

Taking advantage of this momentum, Fang Shihe PD decided to follow up with another comeback before the end of the year and release Mood for Love PT2 to further consolidate their position.

November 27th to 29th was the first concert of Mood for Love for three consecutive days.

They will unveil the new stage of [RUN] in advance during the concert, and the source of the new album will be announced on the 30th.

Kim Tae-hyung was also tired and happy during this time.

Usually, they didn't have many opportunities to meet their fans. This time, they were able to hold three concerts with a scale of ten thousand people in Seoul, so they prepared a lot of surprises for their fans.

And because they wanted to give their fans a wonderful concert, they worked hard to rehearse for two months.

The day after the concert, which was the day of the release of the new song, happened to be the day of Lee Hae-na's college entrance exam.

Kim Tae-hyung looked at the news about the college entrance exam as soon as he saw the music. Because Lee Hae-na was an artist, there was more or less news about her.

Lee Hae-na didn't turn on her phone a few days before the exam, and he didn't want to disturb Lee Hae-na's revision.

Kim Tae-hyung searched for Lee Hae-na's name on Naver, and sure enough, two pieces of news appeared.

One was a brief interview Lee Hae-na received after the exam, and the other was Lee Hae-na chatting with the teacher and classmates before entering the exam hall. The attached picture was of Lee Hae-na's front and a boy's back.

Wait.

A boy's back?

Kim Tae-hyung frowned and realized that things weren't that simple.

He quickly clicked on the news. The reporter's photography skills were very good. In the camera, Lee Hae-na's smile was bright and full of vitality. Her eyes were curved, and she looked very sweet.

Everything was very harmonious, but who was the boy in front of her?

Kim Tae-hyung scrolled down. Most of the article was about Lee Hae-na, and for the boy, it only used the word "guaranteed student".

Kim Tae-hyung's eyes stared at the words "guaranteed student" and flattened his mouth.

He's good at studying …

He definitely doesn't look good!

He's a top student, his face is full of pimples and dark circles under his eyes. Not only is he short-sighted, but his face may also be oily!

Suddenly, he realized that his attack range was a bit large, so he changed his words.

Lee Hae-na was obviously not in it.

After thinking it through, Kim Tae-hyung felt much more comfortable. After the high-intensity work of holding three concerts in a row, the exhaustion hit him like a wave.

He turned off his phone, curled up under the blanket, and found the most comfortable position to sleep. It was a dreamless night.

A day passed in the blink of an eye. When Lee Hae-na finished her exam and walked out of the examination hall, she really felt like a lifetime had passed.

After so many years of studying, they used a short day to test the results.

Just like how they had lived as trainees for so many years, they used a short three minutes on stage to determine the strength of a group.

It wasn't unfair, but she felt a little unreconciled …

No matter how unreconciled she was, it was all over.

Lee Hae-na answered two media interviews before walking towards her parents and brother who were waiting for her at the school gate. She gave them a big hug.

"Well done!"

Papa Lee touched Lee Hae-na's head. "Our Hae-na has really grown up a lot without me knowing!"

"Yeah, it's really been hard on you." Mama Li pushed Lee Hae-na's hair behind her ear, and her eyes were a little moist.

In fact, the couple had always felt very guilty about being absent from Lee Hae-na's growth.

"Yeah!

It's been hard on me! "Lee Hae-na crossed her arms and patted her shoulders, pretending to be mature and sighing.

"Haha, let's go, let's go eat a big meal!" Papa Lee opened the car door for Lee Hae-na to get in.

"Then let's go shopping!

Buy new clothes for our Hae-na! "Mama Li pinched Lee Hae-na's face.

Lee Hae-na nodded and let out a long breath, feeling relaxed.

That night, Lee Hae-na asked for leave from the company and spent the night with her family at the villa her parents rented.

Because the group's schedule was the next day, Lee Hae-na didn't have time to eat breakfast with her family in the morning. She was hurriedly picked up by her agent to go to the venue of the commercial performance.

Li Du's parents had arranged their schedule in advance and were planning to stay in Korea for two weeks.

In order to spend more time with Lee Hae-na, they planned to buy a property in Korea and come here to meet up with Lee Hae-na when they were free.

As soon as Lee Hae-na reached the backstage of the commercial performance, she was greeted with a shower of fireworks. She was so shocked that her double jaw almost dropped out.

Park Soo-young rushed over and hugged Lee Hae-na, kissing her on both cheeks.

Lee Hae-na covered her cheeks and pretended to be disgusted. "My makeup is going to be ruined!"

"I don't care!" Park Soo-young pretended to kiss her again.

Lee Hae-na hurriedly hid behind Sun Shengwan.

"Augny, happy liberation!" Kim Ye-rin handed her a small strawberry cake. "Blow out the candles!"

Lee Hae-na obediently blew out the candles.

"We've prepared a body for you!

Tonight, we'll be high until dawn! "Kang Sung-ki leaned on Bae Chu-min's shoulder and laughed.

“OKOK！

Han Niu is mine! "Lee Hae-na said generously.

"Hae-na is awesome!" Mao Five cheered.

After the performance, many fans came out and Lee Hae-na stopped to chat with them.

"Lina, happy graduation!" Shen Ju-eun held her small hand and her face turned red. She didn't know if it was due to excitement or coldness.

"Thank you for your support."

Lee Hae-na felt warm in her heart. She looked at the girls' bare hands and tore a few heat pads from her down jacket and handed them to them. "I didn't bring any new ones. Please don't mind.

Remember to keep warm in winter! "

The girls excitedly took the heat pads and thanked her with smiles.

"Go back quickly. It's cold outside!" Their agent started to urge them. Lee Hae-na waved at them and ran back to the car.
