Chapter 8: Friends and Brothers

"I thought it was okay...... Park Jung-so was covered in cold sweat, but he still managed to pull out a smile, "The weather is warm, I thought it would not be so easy to relapse, but who knows that it still doesn't want to leave me." ”

A small joke didn't have any effect, and Jin Yingyun's eyes turned red on the side, and his head was lowered.

He knew that it was all because of him.

Since the day they first met, they had a meal together in the cafeteria, time has passed quickly in the process of Ahn Junhyuk and the three of them from strangers to gradually familiarity, and slowly deepening their relationship, and it is already May.

During this period, the four of them have been practicing together, and at the beginning they decided that it was naturally Park Jung-so and the three of them who wanted to help An Jun-hyuk, who was still a newcomer, but in the process of practicing, they found that although Ahn Jun-hyuk's dance foundation is weak, because of his good physical fitness, many movements can be easily performed, and what is even more rare is that the tone is very strong and can subconsciously keep up with the rhythm, and the weak foundation is nothing in front of these advantages.

So Lee Hyuk-jae later proposed that the four of them form a group to participate in the end-of-April assessment.

As mentioned earlier, the company encourages this kind of spontaneous combination, which allows the judges to intuitively see whether the candidate fits the company's style from a combination perspective, or where the candidate's highlights are. The trainees also like this way, especially when assessing the dance, the solo dance is not as shocking and eye-catching as the combination in any case, as long as the choreography uses more care, shows a part of the group dance, plus the solo dance, can attract the attention of the judges at the same time, but also show personal characteristics, one stone.

Before Ahn Joon-hyuk came, the three of them hadn't done this, mainly because of the small number of people, Park Jung-so and Lee Hyuk-jae were both thin types, and a burly and strong man suddenly squeezed in between the two thin people, which made Kim Yingyun stand out at once, and Kim Yingyun's dancing strength is weak, such a prominence will not only not bring him benefits, but will also lower the judges' evaluation of him.

Ahn Jun-hyuk, who is now taller than Kim Young-yun and has a relatively strong figure, joined, just to neutralize the abruptness.

So the four hit it off.

It's a pity that at the end of April, they only received a C-grade evaluation......

Kim Young-woon knows very well that the failure of this combination is not held back by Ahn Jun-hyuk as a newcomer, but by his senior, who has been practicing for several years.

Although after the assessment, neither Park Jung-su and Lee Hyuk-jae, who are old friends, nor Ahn Jun-hyuk, who is a new friend, said anything about him, but he is not an idiot, of course, the reason for knowing that the reason is on him, it is that in the process of group dance, he made several mistakes such as stiff limbs and incompatible movements, untimely transposition, etc., which led to confusion in the dance rhythm and lowered the evaluation.

He didn't want to be a drag on others, so after the assessment, he practiced desperately, and as friends, Ahn Jun-hyuk and the three naturally accompanied him, repeating the boring physical exertion over and over again until Park Jung-so fell ill this time.

…… Kim Young-woon, you idiot!

He wiped his face, holding back his tears.

The dim light and severe pain made Park Jung-so not notice Kim Young-woon's strangeness, but he was always sensitive, but he still noticed the subtlety of the atmosphere, so he forced a smile and said jokingly to Ahn Jun-hyuk: "Ah, you guy, as soon as you rub your hands, you know that I have arthritis, are you from a family of Korean doctors?"

Ahn Junhyuk half-knelt in front of him, rubbing his hands quickly, and he didn't stop when he heard the words, and replied in a calm tone: "What's the matter!" It's just that my sister is paralyzed and can't move her legs, so I taught myself some massage techniques, and I usually give her a press after helping her move. Some say it stimulates the nerves and helps restore ...... I haven't seen any effect yet!" he shrugged, "Over time, I have been able to practice this technique first, and if there is anything wrong with a person's leg, I can find it by touching it." ”…,

After speaking, the preparatory actions were almost done, the palms of his hands were rubbed red and hot, he raised his head and was about to say something, but found that Park Jung-so, Kim Young-woon and Lee Hyuk-jae were all looking at him in a daze.

"What's wrong?" Ahn Jun Hyuk asked as he looked himself up and down, confused.

"This kind of thing ......" Park Jung-so's throat rolled, his voice was dry, and his eyes were complicated, "Why didn't you tell us before?"

Thinking that he sometimes secretly slandered Ahn Joon-hyuk as soon as he had time to rest, he ran home and never participated in group activities, and then corresponded to what he said at this time, Park Jung-so felt a burst of discomfort in his heart, like the pain in his knees radiated to his chest, and it was difficult to breathe.

Ahn Junhyuk suddenly realized that he was sympathized.

He shook his head with a smile, he didn't explain much, in fact, to say that he longed to be sympathized, but it was himself in a dream.

In the future, which is taking a completely different path from the present, Jisoo's early mental state was terrible, and he was inexperienced when he was younger. Wearing a false mask to socialize outside, the career that has just started is difficult, and when you go home, you have to face your sister who suddenly loses control of her emotions from time to time, and she is bored with the depressed status quo, and she is afraid of an uncertain future.

Many times I want to find someone to talk about my pain and exhaustion, and I want someone to care for me and comfort me, so that I can continue to persevere.

But the dream process was too long, so long that he was affected by the dream, and now he took everything he suffered for granted, and he never felt that he had anything special.

"If you have that heart to care about me, or care about yourself, arthritis will be crippled, don't you know what to do?" said angrily, Ahn Jun-hyuk rubbed his hand hot again and pressed it on Park Jung-so's red and swollen knee, "Bear it, scream hard when it hurts!"

Park Jung-so trembled and felt the burning sensation spread from Ahn Joon-hyuk's hands at his knees, and shouted in panic, "Hey, what are you going to do!"

"Massage!"

With that, Ahn Jun-hyuk strained his hands.

"Ah————h

The terrible screams suddenly resounded in the room, and the severe soreness and pain suddenly spread from the knees, and at that moment, the guilt that Park Jung-so had just raised for Ahn Joon-hyuk disappeared in an instant......

The screams of killing pigs lasted for nearly half an hour before stopping, and Park Jung-so, who was about to collapse from exhaustion, was rushed to think that there was a fight here by hearing the sound, and Lee Hyuk-jae went to the infirmary to rest, and after the noise, the quiet dance studio was restored, leaving only Ahn Joon-hyuk and Kim Young-woon.

Park Jung-so was injured and couldn't practice dancing anymore, Ahn Jun-hyuk was tidying up his things and preparing to learn vocal music, and Kim Young-woon accompanied him to clean up silently.

Time passed quietly in silence, Ahn Jun-hyuk, who had finished tidying up his things, got up to leave, Kim Young-woon sent him outside the door, and was about to go back to clean up the dance studio so that he could take care of Park Jung-so, Ahn Jun-hyuk, who had not yet left, suddenly said: "Actually, you don't have to care so much." ”

"Huh?" Kim Young-yun was stunned for a moment, and looked at it casually.

"Hehe, thought I didn't notice that you almost cried before?" Ahn Junhyuk chuckled.

Jin Yingyun, who was exposed to his thoughts, suddenly turned red on his cheeks.

Ahn Jun Hyuk patted his thick shoulder, "There is no need to have a psychological burden, everyone is a friend, and it is natural for friends to help each other, just like when you first met me, you had to take me to practice together, and you didn't think about whether I would slow down your practice progress." In the same way, we practice with you and don't think about it that much, because we are friends. ”

"A different ......"

Now that his mind has been seen through, Kim Yingyun simply stopped holding back, and the calm that he barely pretended to be quietly collapsed in Ahn Jun-hyuk's words, shaking his head and being silent for a while, before he smiled bitterly: "It's different, at least Brother Jeong-so didn't help you, and he was so tired that his old illness relapsed...... It's all ...... It's all because I'm so stupid!"...,

The more he talked, the more excited he became, and he clenched his fists and wanted to punch himself.

But the expected pain did not come, and with a muffled sound, the fist he swung at himself was tightly clenched by Ahn Junhyuk, and the huge force made it difficult to even twitch his arm.

Ahn Jun-hyuk frowned and looked at him, "Your impulsive personality needs to be changed, can you solve the problem with a punch to yourself?"

After trying a few times, he found that his strength was completely unable to compete with Ahn Jun-hyuk, so Kim Yingyun had to give up the struggle and said dejectedly: "What else?" I have practiced hard, but my stage strength has not been improved, I have not cooperated before, Brother Jeong-su is still not clear, but now that he knows the way, he will definitely continue to help me in the future...... Do you want to wear him down again because of me?"

"Oh, so you want to give up?" Ahn Joon-hyuk asked in a cold voice as he let go of his hand.

"I ......" The slightly sarcastic voice made Jin Yingyun raise his head excitedly, but the next moment, it fell again, "I...... I can't help it......"

Seeing that his confidence was completely broken, Ahn Junhyuk's voice slowed down a little, so as not to let him be stimulated any more, and said, "Why is there no other way? Company M is a place to train artists, not a dance training school, you can't think of anything else except dancing? If you don't dance well, you can practice singing, your voice is strong and powerful, and the recognition is very high, study hard, and wait for the company to launch a group next time, you may not be able to fight for a lead singer position, in a group, you don't need everyone to be a dance machine. ”

In his rather powerful analysis, Jin Yingyun's originally gloomy mood finally became a little more active, and he stood in place and thought about it.

It's good to be able to think!

Seeing him like this, Ahn Junhyuk secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Compared with introverted and taciturn people, a cheerful and impulsive personality like Kim Yingyun is actually more terrifying when it comes to the tip of the bull's horns, they usually have a hot head, or choose to escape, or directly destroy themselves, and the strong will to resist setbacks can only be mastered by the accumulation of years.

And now, the boy in front of him, who has a strong physique and seems to be very mature, is just a big boy!

He reached out and rubbed Kim Young-woon's hair, "Think about it! I'll go first, and I'll go to see Brother Jeong-so in the evening." ”

"Oh......" Kim Yingyun agreed, looking at Ahn Junhyuk's tall back gradually moving away, and after a while, he scratched his messed hair with a wry smile and muttered:

“…… I'm older than you, how do you feel like an older brother...... Alas!"
