How did a trainee spend Christmas Eve?

PD Fang was afraid that some people didn't know, so he specially wrote a song.

Ah … he was so straightforward that it was annoying.

Well, in short, it was just practice.

Year after year, day after day.

How far was his debut from him?

Kim Tae-hyung never had a definite answer.

Before entering the company, he thought it was the distance from Daegu to Seoul.

After entering the company, he thought it was the distance from the practice room to the stage.

Later, he found out that it was neither.

From Daegu to Seoul, he participated in countless company auditions and was lucky enough to stay in Dahei.

Every day, in addition to classes, he practiced from six in the morning to twelve in the evening. If it was a weekend, it was common to practice until the night.

Their company was not big, but the trainees who could enter were very good, like Nanjun and?

Brother Qi was good at rap and composing, like Brother Xi and Brother Ji?

F was good at dancing.

The more he was a trainee, the more he realized how ordinary he was. He had to watch several dances that others could remember after watching them once. His singing was not very outstanding, and he knew nothing about composing. Just balancing his studies and practice already made him very tired.

Without any special skills, he could only make up for it with hard work. He kept practicing and learning, hoping that one day he could reach their level and be a little closer to his debut.

Aside from the mild competition in the club, the competition in the circle was really cruel and fierce.

Every year, countless groups debuted with great ambitions, but no matter how hard they tried, they couldn't make a splash. After struggling for a while, they disappeared quietly.

Those who could survive the competition between male and female groups were the best of the best.

Although the process and results were cruel, there were still many people with dreams who moved forward one after another, trying to create a different fate from their predecessors.

He was one of them.

He couldn't remember when his dream of becoming a singer began.

The only thing he was sure of was that in his life, there wouldn't be a second dream that he wanted to achieve no matter how much effort he put in.

When his family asked him if he was tired, he always shook his head with a smile.

Seeing people who were more talented and worked harder than him, what right did he have to complain?

This was the path he chose, the dream he had been chasing, so it was not tiring, and it was worth it.

No matter how much effort he had to put in, no matter how much effort he had to put in, he would definitely debut.

Kim Tae-hyung took a sip of water and continued to practice.

Time flew by in the boring practice. Unknowingly, it was already 12 o 'clock, the official Christmas Day.

The boys did not pay much attention to holidays, but the trainees still wished each other a Merry Christmas.

Kim Tae-hyung finally could not hold on any longer and stopped to rest. Park Ji-ho?

F handed him a towel and water, which warmed his heart.

Under normal circumstances, Kim Tae-hyung would not turn on his phone during practice, but today he was in a rather low mood and wanted to find a friend to chat with.

As soon as he turned on his phone, a text message popped up on his screen.

It was actually Lee Hae-na's.

"Tae-hyung oppa, Merry Christmas!

The weather is cold, pay attention to your body, don't catch a cold, rest early! "

”

Looking at this text message, Kim Tae-hyung did not know why he suddenly thought of Lee Hae-na's smile when he first saw her.

Her eyes were curved, and her dimples were deep, bright and sweet, which unconsciously made him happy.

It was amazing.

Kim Tae-hyung quickly replied.

"Tae-hyung, what are you giggling about?

Did something good happen? "Jin Nanjun, who was sitting opposite Kim Tae-hyung, asked while drinking water.

"No, I just thought that spring break is coming, and I'm very happy to see my family." Kim Tae-hyung quickly stopped smiling and lied.

Well … he just did not want to be teased by his brothers.

After all, Brother Nanjun looked serious, but he was actually very gossipy.

"Come on!

Let's continue to practice! "Jung Ho-seok stood up from the floor, clapped his hands, and energetically encouraged everyone.

"Okay!" Kim Tae-hyung quickly turned off his phone and stood up to practice.

December 30th.

Dahei.

Kim Tae-hyung and Park Ji-ho?

When F finished his afternoon practice and went out, he was stopped by his big brother, Kim Soo-jin, who was passing by.

His tone and actions exuded the fragrance of an uncle as usual. "Where are you going?

Isn't it Tae-hyung's birthday today? "

"Hee hee, we have an appointment with a beautiful girl for dinner. After dinner, we'll come back and have a second round with you." Park Ji-ho?

F squinted his eyes and smiled.

"Doesn't your conscience hurt?

How can you leave your dear big brother?

Two of you have an appointment with a beautiful girl!

Don't you know that falling in love is not good for the healthy growth of teenagers?

Do you know that?

Do your parents know? "Kim Soo-jin was furious when he heard this, and he passionately rapped.

"Hee hee, they don't." Kim Tae-hyung?

N timidly patted his big brother's broad shoulders. "Let's go, Chicken Rice, don't be late."

"Come back early, you bastards!" The big brother said behind them.

On Christmas Day, when Lee Hae-na woke up again, she saw Kim Tae-hyung's reply.

"Merry Christmas to you too. You won't grow taller if you sleep late. Go to bed early.

”

Once again, Lee Hae-na, who was called short, was depressed …

Soon, it was Kim Tae-hyung's birthday. Lee Hae-na did not forget her promise. Once she finished her afternoon practice, she went back to the dormitory to change her clothes and went to the cake shop to buy a cake.

After confirming the time and place with Kim Tae-hyung, she brought the gift and cake that she bought in advance.

Because it was winter, Lee Hae-na chose a pair of gray furry rabbit fur gloves. It was warm and the price was just right, so the recipient would not feel burdened.

As expected, Lee Hae-na scored full marks for her sense!

Lee Hae-na touched the gift box with satisfaction.

Lee Hae-na was afraid that there would be no seats during the New Year, so she booked a private room in advance and arrived early to wait.

Kim Tae-hyung and Park Ji-ho?

Not long after, F also arrived.

The first thing Kim Tae-hyung said when he sat down was to exclaim at the high-class restaurant, "Wow!

This is the first time I've been to such a restaurant … I didn't even dare to breathe loudly when I was outside … "

"Hae-na Xi … Actually, we can just eat something casually. There's no need to spend so much money." Park Ji-ho?

F did not expect Lee Hae-na to bring them to such a high-class restaurant.

"Actually, I've only been here twice." Lee Hae-na poured tea for them, "It's Tae-hyung Oppa's birthday, so let's eat something good!

You don't have to worry too much. Even if I'm not here with you, I'll still eat with others.

I can still bear this level of food! "

Although Lee Hae-na said so, Kim Tae-hyung and Park Ji-ho?

F still found it hard to accept her kindness. He felt like he was being exploited … The two brothers looked at each other and reluctantly decided to pay for this meal.

The next few months would probably be a feast of ramen …

Kim Tae-hyung and Park Ji-ho?

F did not feel sad for a long time because his wallet had shrunk. Almost as soon as the Han Niu was placed on the grill, he was immediately immersed in the mesmerizing aroma of the roast beef.

Lee Hae-na greeted them enthusiastically, "Brothers, let's eat!

I've ordered five servings. If it's not enough, I'll continue. "

Kim Tae-hyung and Park Ji-ho?

F felt his kidneys tremble when he heard the order for five servings.

"By the way, Hae-na, are you from Seoul?

Your Mandarin is very standard. "Kim Tae-hyung tried to find a topic while waiting for the roast meat.

"No, I'm from China."

Lee Hae-na suddenly remembered that she had not properly introduced herself, "I came from Korea in 2009."

"Wow, you were only in sixth grade then, right?" Park Ji-ho?

F even counted with his hands.

"Are you here to study?" Kim Tae-hyung was also surprised, "You speak Korean so well!

You don't even have an accent! "

"No, I'm here to be a trainee. My dream is to become a singer." Lee Hae-na smiled and explained the situation, but did not say which company he was a trainee from.

"What a coincidence!

We are also trainees! "This was the first time Kim Tae-hyung met a trainee from outside the company.

"I'm from Daegu, but before I came to Seoul, I lived in Juchang."

"I'm from Pusan." Park Ji-ho?

F also introduced herself obediently.

"Ji?

F's modern dance skills are very good!

She is also the top dancer in her dance academy! "

Kim Tae-hyung started to show off his friend proudly. Those who did not know him would think that he was the top dancer.

"Really?

I'm also learning modern dance! "Lee Hae-na sighed again.

"It's not as exaggerated as Tae-hyung said …" Park Ji-ho?

F shyly waved her hand and started to talk about modern dance with Lee Hae-na.

Looking at the lively conversation between Park Ji-ho? and F * ck.

F and Lee Hae-na, he could not get a word in. For the first time, Kim Tae-hyung hated himself for not being able to keep his mouth shut … If he had known this would happen, he would not have mentioned modern dance!

Kim Tae-hyung's resentment of being ignored was too strong. Lee Hae-na and Park Ji-ho?

F finally stopped talking about modern dance and diverted her attention to this poor little girl.

Lee Hae-na suddenly thought of something and hurriedly took out a delicately wrapped gift box from her bag.

She handed the gift box to Kim Tae-hyung. "This is a gift for you!

Happy birthday oppa! "

Kim Tae-hyung said that it was not expensive, but the joy on his face could not be concealed.

It was not his fault. Dahei's trainees were all boys. First, they did not pay much attention to gifts. Second, they did not have the money to give gifts.

Therefore, Kim Tae-hyung had not received a formal birthday gift for a long time.

"Can I open it now?" Kim Tae-hyung shyly looked at Lee Hae-na and smiled.

"Of course." Lee Hae-na saw that Kim Tae-hyung was so happy and smiled.

"Wow!

What a beautiful pair of gloves! "Park Ji-ho?

F watched Kim Tae-hyung open the gift box, revealing a pair of gray gloves.

"Thank you!" Kim Tae-hyung showed his big white teeth.

While they were chatting, the beef was grilled by the waiter. Park Ji-ho?

F considerately put the beef on Lee Hae-na's plate first, and Lee Hae-na thanked him obediently.

Kim Tae-hyung did not want to be outdone. He put several large pieces of beef on Lee Hae-na's plate.

Lee Hae-na did not know whether to laugh or cry.

This brother was really like a primary school student.

Li Haina stopped her two brothers from using their tongs and put the rest of the beef on their plates. "I don't have a big appetite. Brothers, eat more!"

Kim Tae-hyung counted the beef that Lee Hae-na gave him. Hehe, it was more than chicken rice.

He looked at Park Ji-ho? from a place where Lee Hae-na could not see.

F?

N made a peace sign, causing Park Ji-ho? to roll his eyes.

F rolled his eyes.

"By the way, why did you run around alone in the early morning that day?" Kim Tae-hyung swallowed the meat in his mouth and sighed at the wonderful taste.

"I wrote songs in the studio all night, so I went out to get some fresh air." Lee Hae-na saw that Kim Tae-hyung was eating so happily, and her appetite seemed to have improved a little.

"Wow!

You know how to write songs? "Park Ji-ho?

F did not even swallow the meat, so his words were unclear.

"I'm still learning …" Lee Hae-na modestly waved his hand.

"Dafa!

Our company also has two brothers who are on the creative path. If there's a chance, I'll introduce them to you! "

Kim Tae-hyung sadly held his chin and put a large piece of meat into his mouth. "I envy you. I also want to learn how to write songs, but I don't have the talent. I can't write it …"

"Don't say that. I believe you can do it." Lee Hae-na sincerely encouraged Kim Tae-hyung.

"Hae-na is right!

It's not like my friend to be discouraged so easily. "Park Ji-ho?

F also patted Kim Tae-hyung's shoulder.

"When Brother Tae-hyung writes a song, I want to be the first listener!" Lee Hae-na put the freshly roasted beef on Kim Tae-hyung's plate. "Eat more!

Come on! "

Kim Tae-hyung looked at Lee Hae-na and Park Ji-ho?.

F's eyes were full of encouragement. His originally depressed mood became better again.

Yes, he can definitely do it!

Dreams are always full of challenges. It's not Kim Tae-hyung's style to give up without trying!

After eating a satisfying meal, Kim Tae-hyung proposed to take a few photos as a souvenir. Lee Hae-na gladly agreed.

In the end, Lee Hae-na paid the bill. While Kim Tae-hyung and Park Ji-ho?

F went to the toilet, he quickly called the manager.

Kim Tae-hyung and Park Ji-ho?

F felt very sorry and proposed to treat Lee Hae-na to delicious food next time.

"When my brothers debut and become popular, don't forget me. At that time, I want to eat a very, very expensive meal!" Lee Hae-na blinked.

"Okay!" Kim Tae-hyung and Park Ji-ho?

F made a serious promise.

Although this 19th birthday was not the happiest for Kim Tae-hyung, it was definitely the warmest and most meaningful one.

Not only did he gain a pair of warm rabbit fur gloves, but he also gained a sincere and lovely friend.
