PNB Chapter 16 I Want to Be a Trainee
Chapter 16 I Want to Be a Trainee
Inside the practice room, Lin Yuan was panting heavily as he finished a bottle of water in the blink of an eye.
Hwang Yeji sat to the side, squinting, her eyes filled with undisguised envy: "Oppa, congratulations on your debut."
She also wanted to become a trainee and stand on that stage in the spotlight, so that she could get closer to her idol, but those eyes made her afraid to take that step.
"What's wrong?"
Lin Yuan asked gently.
She shook her head. "It's nothing."
Lin Yuan knew exactly what she was thinking, so he ruffled her hair and said with a smile, "Want to give it a try?"
"What?"
"How about I dance for Oppa?"
Dobong-gu, Seoul.
Huang Lizhi didn't know how he got home; all he could think about was Lin Yuan's words about asking him to be her backup dancer.
"I'm back."
Upon hearing Lizhi's voice, Huang's mother immediately came to greet her, took her backpack, and asked with concern, "You're back! Are you hungry? How about I make you some noodles with soybean paste?" As she spoke, she picked up her apron and headed towards the kitchen.
Huang Lizhi immediately stopped her.
Huang's mother could tell at a glance that her daughter was troubled, so she pulled her to sit down on the sofa, lifted her bangs, and asked softly, "Is it because of these eyes? Mia, it's all my fault. I've made you suffer all these years."
Huang Lizhi never expected that her unintentional action would lead to her mother's self-blame. She held her mother's hands tightly, her voice anxious, "Mom, no, I... I just..."
She didn't know whether she should speak up, or whether she could persevere on this path.
Your eyes are beautiful!
Lin Yuan's words suddenly echoed in her mind.
The next second she made her decision, saying firmly, "Mom, I want to be a trainee."
Huang's mother paused slightly, wiping away tears from the corners of her eyes. "Being a trainee is tough. Are you really ready?"
"Yes, no matter how hard it is, I will persevere. I have my reasons for doing so," Huang Lizhi replied solemnly.
Oppa's approval, Unnie's care, and the unspoken feelings in her heart all guided her down this path.
......
"Raise the pitch a little higher!"
The approach is wrong!
Lower the pitch at the end!
Lin Yuan finally witnessed another side of Park Young-cheol.
In just half an hour, he and Lee Ji-eun were criticized countless times. The usually cheerful Lee Ji-eun didn't even dare to look up. Wearing headphones, she stood in the recording studio looking exhausted.
"Alright, that's enough for today. We'll continue tomorrow."
After Park Young-cheol finished speaking, he turned and left.
The two immediately relaxed and helped each other out of the recording studio.
Lin Yuan brought over the prepared water, unscrewed the cap, and handed it to Lee Ji-eun, saying hoarsely, "Is recording this troublesome? I thought it would be easy. My throat is all dry from singing."
"Otherwise, do you think you can finish a song in two takes? If you miss a note or your tone is off, you have to start over. Otherwise, your fans will criticize you mercilessly, and your peers will also criticize you without mercy, and you won't be able to refute them."
It turns out there are so many intricacies involved. Lin Yuan always thought that a song couldn't be that complicated. He just needed to sing it smoothly a few times, and as long as the fans liked it, that would be fine. He had forgotten about his competitors.
'Buzz~'
Lin Yuan's phone vibrated. He took it out and saw it was his morning alarm, reminding him that he had to go on a blind date.
"By the way, can I borrow your car for a bit? I need to go out for a bit."
Lee Ji-eun handed over the car keys and casually asked, "Where are you going?"
"Blind date."
"Oh, a blind date?"
Lee Ji-eun replied instinctively.
"What? A blind date?!"
Lin Yuan was startled by her sudden scream. He rubbed his ears and said, "Big brother, why are you so excited? It's just a blind date."
Lee Ji-eun immediately realized she had overreacted and hurriedly explained, "Who...who got excited? I...I just...Ugh, this is so annoying, I'm off to work."
Lin Yuan looked at her retreating figure, somewhat puzzled.
"Bang!"
Lee Ji-eun, who had just stepped out the door, turned back and said coldly, "Give me the car keys, I need them."
"..."
Lin Yuan obediently handed it over.
It's like a tiger fallen into the plains being bullied by IU. I, the second young master of the prestigious Hong Sheng Group, don't even own a car. I have to take the subway to go on blind dates. Where can I even complain about this?
I don't know what Lee Ji-eun was thinking. She had a nanny van, but she insisted on driving herself.
Fine, I'll take the subway then. I'll buy a car tomorrow, and it has to be better than Lee Ji-eun's, just to make her jealous!
.....
Seongsudong Coffee Street.
Bae Joo-hyun sat nervously in the corner, covering herself up completely. She didn't want to be recognized by her fans, or she would really have to change careers.
Lin Yuan pushed open the door and walked in, his mother Jin Meilan's nagging voice ringing in his ears: "Remember, don't be impatient when talking to girls, be a gentleman, and she's wearing a big red flower on her chest, don't mistake her for someone else."
Lin Yuan looked around and soon spotted his target. He walked over and said, "Okay, Mom, I'm not a child anymore. I've arrived. I'll hang up now."
While chatting with her fellow members in the group chat, Bae Joo-hyun suddenly noticed a shadow approaching and screamed, "Ah!!!" Her phone flew into the air.
Lin Yuan immediately stepped forward, grabbed her hand, pulled her into his arms, and whispered, "Are you alright?"
"Thump!"
The phone spun two and a half times in mid-air before finally hitting him on the head.
"Aww~"
Lin Yuan removed his hands from his head and rubbed them incessantly.
Bae Joo-hyun was caught off guard by a series of unexpected events.
The next second, I still chose to pick up my phone first, and only felt relieved after confirming that there was no problem.
Only then did she remember Lin Yuan.
"Mianne, are you...are you alright?"
Bae Joo-hyun asked with concern.
Lin Yuan quickly waved his hand to indicate that he was fine.
Only after the tingling sensation completely disappeared did he extend his hand and introduce himself, "Annyeonghaseyo, I'm Lin Yuan, your blind date."
Bae Joo-hyun was taken aback for a moment, then realized what she meant and reached out to shake his hand. "Annyeonghaseyo, I'm Bae Joo-hyun."
"I'm sorry, I startled you. I apologize."
Lin Yuan spoke up.
Bae Joo-hyun shook her head. She was just easily startled, so she couldn't blame anyone else.
"Lin...Lin Yuanxi, sit down and let's talk."
"Inside."
The two sat facing each other, and Bae Joo-hyun called over a waiter.
Lin Yuan ordered a cappuccino, while she ordered a coffee. After the waiter finished serving and left, she took off her mask, leaving only a baseball cap. Even so, it couldn't hide her stunning beauty.
Bae Joo-hyun looked him up and down and found that he was even more handsome than in the photos.
She wore a brown coat over a black turtleneck sweater, revealing part of her long, slender neck. Her Adam's apple bobbed up and down, looking very sexy, and she unconsciously swallowed.
Oh my god, how can I be angry when she's so sexy?
