Four A. M.
Chapter 31

When she received the award, Lee Hae-na especially thanked her fans in China in Chinese.
Although she didn't develop much in China, she knew that the results they got today were definitely related to the support of her fans in China.
It was already one o 'clock in the morning when the MAMA Awards Ceremony ended.
Wumao maintained his composure for the whole night and felt physically and mentally exhausted. No one was in the mood to celebrate, so they removed their makeup, took a shower, and went to bed.
Lee Hae-na originally planned to do the same.
She didn't expect that after her family's well-wishes, she would receive Kim Tae-hyung and Park Ji-ho?
F's message.
If they hadn't sent her messages praising her beauty, Lee Hae-na would have already sent them to the blacklist.
The next morning, Wumao took the earliest flight back to South Korea to catch up on his next trip.
As Christmas approached, the three major TV stations had special features for singing shows, as well as the ballad battle and the grand ceremony. Wumao's results this year were also quite good, so there were many special stages to prepare.
Wumao was still alright, but Park Soo-young was the busiest.
He had to record his own end and run the group trip.
Lee Hae-na rarely had a day off, so she went to accompany her parents to look at real estate.
She didn't know much about these things, but considering the special nature of her job, she had high expectations for the privacy of her house.
Finally, they finalized the Hannam-dong THE HIGH-RISE APARTMENTS.
They bought a two-hundred-square-meter duplex unit in the HILL high-end condominium area. They also specially built a small studio for Lee Hae-na in the condominium, so that she could record her inspiration anytime and anywhere.
After the procedures were completed, Papa Lee and Mama Li accompanied Lee Hae-na to celebrate her eighteenth birthday (China's system). After that, they ended their vacation and flew back to China to work.
Lee Hae-na's eighteenth birthday was very special. It was the first birthday she celebrated with her fans.
Because the company organized a birthday party for her and invited two hundred fans to spend the morning with her. Then, they gave her the afternoon off to celebrate with her family. Finally, they had pajamas with the members in the evening.
It was the happiest day since the college entrance examination.
Lee Hae-na sang two non-public self-composed songs as a gift for her fans at the birthday party. She also performed a live claw show for her fans who had supported her all the way.
Eighteen years old was the mark of adulthood in China. Her grandparents in China also gave her a big red packet, which made Lee Hae-na feel that she had become rich.
Xu Yiyang also ran downstairs to Lee Hae-na's dormitory to give her a large box of greenhouse strawberries and a handwritten letter to celebrate her coming of age in China. Lee Hae-na was so moved that she almost cried.
After she debuted, she actually had less contact with Xu Yiyang. She usually had a lot of schedules and was relatively busy. The company was also strict with the trainees, so the two of them had very few opportunities to meet. It was normal for their relationship to gradually fade.
Take the college entrance examination as an example. She was so busy before the exam that she didn't even have time to say good luck to her. They only contacted each other after the exam.
Then, they went to MAMA. Now that Xu Yiyang was here, they finally had a chance to meet.
Lee Hae-na felt guilty and touched. She could only hug Xu Yiyang and say nothing.
Xu Yiyang patted Lee Hae-na's back and suddenly exclaimed, "You really have grown a lot taller!"
"Of course, I'm 1.66 meters tall now. I'm simply the model of a fair-skinned, beautiful, and long-legged goddess!" Lee Hae-na's voice was muffled.
"You've become arrogant." Xu Yiyang laughed and said, "You weren't so thick-skinned before."
"Hehe … I've become more confident!" Lee Hae-na didn't feel ashamed. Instead, she felt proud.
The faint gap seemed to dissipate in the wind as they talked and laughed. The two of them chatted for a while. Seeing that it was getting late, they went back home.

This year, MBC, SBS, and KBS 'end-of-year ballads were on the 29th, 30th, and 31st, which happened to be Kim Tae-hyung's birthday.
Lee Hae-na had been troubled by the fact that she didn't know what gift to buy for Kim Tae-hyung.
Previously, she had been busy with the college entrance examination and rehearsals. She didn't have time to choose a gift.
Kim Tae-hyung's birthday gift to her was a mini Dream-catcher necklace with a blue crystal in the middle. The craftsmanship was rough. Lee Hae-na even complained about the seller's quality.
Later, when she heard Park Ji-ho?
F said that Kim Tae-hyung had secretly stayed up late to read tutorials online to make it. Lee Hae-na felt guilty and touched. She immediately went online and bought a LOL figurine for him.
However, it wasn't good to give a birthday gift twice, so Lee Hae-na had a headache.
This brother didn't have any hobbies. Other than gaming, he wore flowery shirts and wide-legged pants.
Naturally, it was impossible for her to go out and buy men's clothes. If she was photographed, it would be game over.
As for gaming, he had already given her a mechanical keyboard. He bought a hero skin faster than Lee Hae-na. It was obviously impractical to give her a computer.
Choosing a birthday gift was harder than writing a song!
In the end, Lee Hae-na used a smurf account to anonymously ask a question on a forum.
"What gift should I give for a very good male friend's birthday?
(The friend is 21 years old, likes to play games, sing, and dance.) "
There were many enthusiastic replies, but most of the mentioned gifts were given by Lee Hae-na before. There was no reference value.
There were also some more strange answers, such as "Fat-Two" and "Porn", which were automatically filtered out by Lee Hae-na.
In the end, Lee Hae-na listened to the advice of a netizen and bought Kim Tae-hyung a foot massager.
No matter how Kim Tae-hyung reacted after receiving it, Lee Hae-na was very satisfied with the gift.
For people like them who ran every day and had sore feet, the foot massager could be said to be very practical.
On the day of the KBS Ballad Festival, the Bulletproof Boys prepared a special stage for three songs, namely Butterfly, Dope, and Run.
Because the captain, RapMonster, was injured and could not attend, only six people participated.
Lee Hae-na liked the song Butterfly the most. She felt that the song was really suitable for Kim Tae-hyung's voice. Unfortunately, it only appeared for less than 20 seconds and was not part of him.
RED VELVET's performance was a remix version of Dunk Dump. They had adapted the second half of the original choreography, turning the female group song, which was already quite characteristic of a male group dance, into a male group dance song.
Li Haina put on an orange puffy dress, and her hair was braided in many small braids. Perhaps it was because her look on MAMA was too stunning that her Cody suddenly became obsessed with braiding her hair.
After performing on the regular stage, Lee Hae-na also had a stage with GOT7 Kim Yoo-kyon.
